第135章 "Truth Unraveled"

**Chapter 135: The Web of Deceit**

The engineer's eyes finally settled on 程星, his gaze burning with a mix of fear and anger. "What do you mean, the truth is not what it seems?" he hissed, his voice low and menacing.

程星 remained calm, his expression unreadable. "I mean that the information we received from the Trisolarans is not entirely accurate. There is more to the story than what we've been told."

The engineer's face turned bright red with rage. "How dare you question the Trisolarans? They're the ones who warned us about the apocalypse!"

程星 sighed, his eyes never leaving the engineer's face. "That's exactly what I'm talking about. The Trisolarans have been playing us from the beginning. They know more about Earth's fate than they're letting on."

The engineer's eyes narrowed, his grip on his chair tightening. "You're saying they're lying to us?"

程星 nodded. "Yes, and I think I know why. The Trisolarans are trying to manipulate us, to use us to further their own agenda. But I don't think we're the only ones involved in this game. There's someone else, someone who's been playing both sides against each other."

The engineer's face was twisted in a mix of disbelief and anger. "What are you talking about?"

程星's eyes locked onto the engineer's. "I'm talking about the mysterious signal we received from the half-man constellation. I've been studying it, and I think I've cracked the code. It's not just a random signal - it's a message from an unknown civilization, one that's been watching us for centuries."

The engineer's eyes widened in shock, his face pale. "What does it mean?"

程星's expression was grim. "It means that we're not alone in the universe. And it means that the Trisolarans are not the only ones who know about Earth's fate. There's something more out there, something that's been waiting for its chance to strike."

The room fell silent, the only sound the engineer's ragged breathing. PROGRAM END
