Zhu Shijiu is trying to pull Xu Feng off the field.
Throughout the entire Papua New Guinea incident, Xu Feng maintained an aloof attitude as if it had nothing to do with him. Even when Zhu Shijiu tried to contact Xu Feng in a certain round, he was unable to get Xu Feng to intervene in the Papua New Guinea incident.
This made Zhu Shijiu feel something was wrong.
Why did Xu Feng not leave the stage yet? Why
At first he thought Xu Feng was trying his best to give him room to display his abilities, but as the files were replayed time and time again, even in those endings after he failed to save Papua New Guinea, Xu Feng did not interfere with the mission.
This made Zhu Shijiu realize that something was wrong.
Even when he failed, the mission was not interfered with. Obviously, the reason of "giving him room to display his abilities" seems much weaker.
This is just one of the reasons.
According to Xu Feng's frequent way of thinking of killing two birds with one stone, there might be another reason. He had enough time to think between his deaths, constantly reviewing his interactions with Xu Feng, so Zhu Shijiu thought of a possibility.
Xu Feng was afraid... No, "afraid" was not accurate enough, the monster had no fear at all. Xu Feng was on guard against him - in order to conceal everything about himself, Xu Feng was avoiding direct contact with him!
He still underestimated the threat that his ability to "predict the future" posed to Xu Feng. From Xu Feng's perspective, the more contact he had with him, the more information he would leak. Who said his ability was to "predict the future"? The ability to "predict the future" not only allowed him to avoid danger in advance, but also had the ability to create danger!
He can set up schemes, create traps, and make people act according to his plans without realizing it.
Xu Feng couldn't guarantee whether there would be any future threats to himself during his contact with him!
So in order to ensure his own safety, Xu Feng simply "disappeared" from his future. As long as there was no intersection with him, the future he predicted would not involve Xu Feng himself.
—After thinking of this possibility, Zhu Shijiu's heart began to become lively.
Xu Feng is avoiding contact with him. Does this mean... there is a vacuum in Xu Feng's control over him
Xu Feng is an extremely rational guy. All his inferences need to be supported by logic and evidence. This is Xu Feng's advantage, but also his biggest weakness. So he can try to act boldly and directly take advantage of the vacuum period when Xu Feng is not in control of him, thus forming a blank area in Xu Feng's logic.
Then even Xu Feng would not be able to figure out what he was going to do in the absence of intelligence.
Therefore, Zhu Shijiu proposed the "Chess Club".
Not only did he abandon the chess club, but he also used this to drag Xu Feng into the water.
By putting himself in trouble and forcing Xu Feng to rescue him, anyone who pays attention will suspect that Xu Feng has an unclear relationship with him, which also adds a safeguard for his subsequent plans.
Just like Thorn, he has basically believed that Xu Feng is the big boss behind the chess club.
Without Xu Feng's identity, how could he deceive others to join his chess club? He was using Xu Feng's hand to stir up the storm in the Black Soldier Organization. The subsequent plan on how to trick Fu Sidu, Luo Suyi, and Su Chan into disobeying the Black Soldier Organization and joining his chess club was also based on this point.
This is the first aspect.
Secondly, leaving aside the attention of those who are aware of the situation, what about other people who are not aware of the situation
Others who are not aware of the situation will think that his talent has been recognized by Xu Feng, so Xu Feng is willing to save him at all costs. His actions will be endorsed by Xu Feng, and even if he does something beyond imagination, it will be considered justifiable, which increases his freedom of action within the organization.
Compared with the latter, the former is obviously more important.
But the premise of all this is that Xu Feng is going to save him.
Zhu Shijiu knew that Xu Feng knew he was still alive, but he also knew that Xu Feng would not come to save him because his being alive meant there were two possibilities.
First, he has a way to save himself, and he has prepared a way to save himself, so he doesn't need Xu Feng to save him.
Second, he had no way to save himself and needed to wait for Xu Feng to rescue him.
The former could escape on his own without Xu Feng taking any action, so Xu Feng could naturally keep his troops in place.
Without any information to judge, Xu Feng could not determine which one was the fact.
So, Zhu Shijiu's backup plan, "Thorns", came in handy.
As long as Jingzhi conveyed the news that he was still alive to Xu Feng, Xu Feng would know that Jingzhi was instructed by him to convey this news, and Xu Feng would also understand that his way to save himself was to "wait for Xu Feng to rescue him"! That is, the latter.
At this point, Xu Feng would be in a situation where he would have no choice but to choose to rescue him. In this way, the first step of his plan to bring Xu Feng down could be successfully achieved.
This was the game he set up specifically for Xu Feng, with himself as a chess piece.
At the same time, he also considered the possibility that Jingzhi would tell Xu Feng the information about the "Chess Club".
In order to prevent this from happening, Zhu Shijiu deliberately left it ambiguous when mentioning Xu Feng, so that Jingji would mistakenly believe that Xu Feng was a member of the Chess Club without direct evidence. As long as there was no direct evidence, Jingji would not easily contact Xu Feng to confirm, and the existence of the "Chess Club" would not be heard by Xu Feng.
So what will Xu Feng think in the end
He only knew that Thorn might be a rebel, and that there might be a rebel faction within the organization.
As for this rebel faction, could it be that this was created by Zhu Shijiu
This is even more impossible, because the elite black soldiers who participated in the Papua New Guinea mission can testify... The rebel faction is a faction that has been colluding with Papua New Guinea for a long time! They spent two years jointly developing the Zerg!
And it just so happened that Xu Feng, who had dealt with him before, how could he not know that he had a clean record? He was investigated cleanly and had no suspicion at all.
In other words, this rebel faction may or may not exist, and in any case it has nothing to do with Zhu Shijiu.
Zhu Shijiu was able to clear himself of suspicion right under Xu Feng's nose.
Max, who was caught, would make the scene even more confusing! Because Max is just an ordinary person, he would not be able to stand the interrogation of the organization. His testimony would be different from that of everyone else. He would reveal the truth during the interrogation, and then the United States would be implicated. The pot would be given to the United States, and the scapegoat of the rebel faction would be determined.
During the entire mission in Papua New Guinea, even in Xu Feng's eyes, Zhu Shijiu would only be the hero who discovered the alien insects and reported them to the organization in a timely manner, formulated an evacuation plan, and finally bravely served as bait and perfectly executed the final evacuation plan.
Is that enough
No, that's not enough!
Zhu Shijiu had already eliminated all possibilities that Xu Feng knew that he was the one who created the rebel faction. So theoretically speaking, Xu Feng would not have discovered all this.
But what if Xu Feng finally discovered all this
This, on the contrary, can prove one thing - Xu Feng did not really relax his control over him, which means that there has never been any control vacuum period, and Xu Feng has always had a way to monitor everything about him.
But if Xu Feng did not discover his plan, it would prove that the control vacuum period is real.
So from the beginning to the end, Zhu Shijiu was not only setting up a trap for Xu Feng to drag him into the water, but it was also a deep-minded test!
As for Xu Feng... in the absence of intelligence, he could only see the first level at best - he wanted to drag Xu Feng down.

As for the purpose of pulling down the field
Xu Feng... can't see through it.
