As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 55 Reactions from various countries and Zheng Li under surveillance

Zheng Li was working at the R&D center in Lion City as usual, but he could sense that he was being targeted by at least three gangs recently.

The smell of an agent on the cleaning staff who came to clean the Lion City R&D Center could be deceived by the researchers in the R&D center, but not by him.

Zheng Li could sense that these cleaners were observing his every move with subtle eyes.

The seventeenth floor is his exclusive laboratory, and no one is allowed to enter normally. Zheng Li lives on the eighteenth floor.

However, when Zheng Li returned to the 17th floor from the public experimental area in the morning, he could clearly feel that his computer had been tampered with.

All traces of fingerprints on the computer were completely wiped clean.

After the existence of the soul was confirmed, agents from all over the world were like mad dogs trying to find out who Merlin was.

After it was confirmed that will influences reality, the madness of various countries reached a new level.

Zheng Li's real body in Kuala Lumpur hacked into the American CIA's server through the biological cloud and learned that he was the first on the suspect list.

No wonder the Chinese ambassador to Singapore visited him yesterday and told him to return home as soon as possible, and implicitly stated that if he were Merlin, the country would protect him and would never do anything to infringe on his personal rights.

It was just said in a very tactful way, saying that please believe in the country's credibility and strength. China has always believed in the principles of equality, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence.

Zheng Li did not reveal any flaws, but just said that his research and development progress in Lion City was considerable, and he would return to Gusu after the research and development of brain-computer connection had achieved certain results.

The logic and language style of the paper Zheng Li wrote under the identity of Meilin were completely different from those he published in the Blue Star academic journal.

Language experts were able to see that his papers published in Blue Star journals contained both British and American English usage.

Merlin's paper is written in pure British English, the most authentic British English. The usage of some sentences in it can be traced back to the classical English of Shakespeare's time.

Therefore, even though Zheng Li was suspected, he was not arrested directly because he had no obvious flaws.

Whether it is brain-computer connection or endorphins, although it is hard to believe, it is within the scope of logical explanation.

Now the institutions of various countries are just keeping an eye on him, and there are also factors that hinder each other.

Zheng Li sighed. Fortunately, he was cautious enough, otherwise he might not be able to keep this vest.

He kind of regretted taking out the brain-computer connection. If it was just endorphins, the level of suspicion on him would be lowered to a lower level.

Because of the British English used in Merlin's paper, scientists in England were also suspected, especially those who had attended old schools like Eton College, who were even more seriously suspected.

Because of classical English, only schools that claim to be traditional, like Eton College, will teach students this.

Musk is also a key suspect due to his legendary experience and outstanding insight into technology.

All Zheng Li could do was to hide his true identity. If he was abducted by agents or organizations and forced to act out a drama with them, he didn't want to lose this identity, let alone expose himself.

"The U.S. stock market continued to plummet. Following the sharp drop the day before yesterday and the slight decline yesterday, the U.S. stock market suddenly plunged 500 points at the beginning of this morning's trading.

After the opening of the U.S. stock market, the three major indexes opened sharply lower and then continued to fall. As of 9:50, the Nasdaq index plummeted 274 points, a drop of more than 1.7%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 500 points, a drop of more than 1.3%, and the S&P 500 fell 1.4%."

"Among them, large technology stocks were the hardest hit, with Apple down 1%, Microsoft down nearly 3%, Amazon down 2.0%, Google down 2.5%, Facebook down 1.7%, and Twitter down 3.0%." "Biomedical stocks fell collectively, with Moderna down nearly 10%, Pfizer down 2%, and BioNTech down 12%."

"European stock markets also opened lower and continued to fall. So far, the German DAX index has fallen by more than 1%, the French CAC index has fallen by nearly 1%, and only the English FTSE index has narrowed its decline to 0.1%."

"After opening lower in the previous two days, the U.S. stock market continued to plummet today, followed by a sell-off in the U.S. bond market. Although the short-term yield of U.S. bonds continued to rise, U.S. bonds continued to be sold off."

“As a result, precious metals such as gold and cryptocurrencies such as BTC have continued to rise, and the gold COMEX index has broken through the previous high of 1985.2 points.”

At lunch time in Hawaii, Luo Shu listened to a short financial news while eating in his apartment as usual.

He was quite smart in investment. After being arrested by the FBI that day, he went home and carefully read the magic.com paper.

Luo Shu didn't know why he could still see it on magic.com, but couldn't find any relevant information on Google.

He guessed that Merlin's paper was true, which was why the government was so nervous.

After making the judgment, Luo Shu did not hesitate and sold all the US stocks he held the next day and switched to gold futures.

His judgment is that Merlin is either an alien or a blue star who has mastered alien technology, but in any case, Merlin has caused a huge impact on the world economy.

The phenomena and theories mentioned in Merlin's paper are completely different from the scientific system of Blue Planet.

If Merlin's paper is true, it means that Blue Star will have a completely different technological system than before. The technological advantages of Europe and the United States will not last long, and they may even have no advantages at all in many aspects.

The stock markets in Europe and the United States will definitely suffer a severe setback. They have previously been able to use technology to enjoy high value-added industries, but what about the future?

The securities market has taken a head start. Merlin's existence is a secret to the bottom, but it is no secret to the top. Magic.com cannot block it, and everyone will know Merlin's existence sooner or later.

A sharp drop in European and American stock markets and U.S. bonds means that safe-haven assets such as precious metals will rise.

Luo Shu’s logic is very clear, and the subsequent turmoil in the financial market also proves this point.

It started with a small decline, then a big drop, then another small decline, and even the decline narrowed at the close.

As a result, there was another big drop today.

Luo Shu made a fortune in the financial market, but he was not excited at all.

Because after learning about Merlin's existence and reading the three papers, his mind was full of questions.

From the existence form of the soul to the underlying logic of how consciousness affects reality, from who Merlin is to how the Blue Planet will develop in the future.

A series of questions continued to ferment in his mind, and he would log on to magic.com to check them out every half hour on average.

But after Merlin published those three articles, he seemed to have disappeared. Only the radio signals that Pluto continued to send to the Blue Planet and the content on magic.com could prove that this was a real thing.

Luo Shu really wanted to tell his Chinese roommate about these things, but he remembered that he had signed a confidentiality agreement and did not dare to disclose it.

It's painful to keep a secret in your heart.
