Luo Ji

Character from The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin

Cynical astronomy lecturer turned fourth Wallfacer — alone given the axioms of cosmic sociology by Ye Wenjie, alone able to cast the spell that proves the dark forest is real.

Also known as: Wallfacer Luo Ji, 罗辑, the Fourth Wallfacer, the Sword-holder

What They Know

• The two axioms Ye Wenjie gave him in conversation: survival is the primary need of civilization, and matter in the universe is constant.
• The chain of suspicion — why two civilizations cannot trust each other across light-years even if both are benevolent.
• The spell: the precise broadcast sequence that uses the Sun as a radio amplifier to mark a star's coordinates for any listening hunter.
• His own Wallbreaker is himself, because no ETO agent dares to speak the dark forest aloud.
• Where Zhuang Yan and his daughter Xia Xia are sleeping out the Crisis, and the exact day they are scheduled to wake.
