"Don't just focus on murder and violence; those are low-level and despicable."
"Look, in nature, when a cat plays with a mouse and then tortures and kills it, is that considered evil?"
"Or what about other animals that cruelly kill their prey? Are they evil? This happens in nature."
"After all these years, we should iterate on new ways of doing things, grasp the key points of the times, form a combination of punches and a closed loop, and not use primitive animal violence to explain the word evil."
........
The black aura eventually left, somewhat confused.
He felt that perhaps his definition of evil was a bit too primitive, and that Bai Zhi might be right.
What era are we living in? How can you say that the devil's ideas are evil?
At least on this planet, human violence is far more potent than that of demons, as evidenced by the many wars fought in this country.
"What are you looking at? Get back to work! Oh, right, Eaton, bring out the anti-aging pills."
Bai Zhi originally intended to dismiss this group of troublemakers, but stopped halfway through her sentence.
"Yes, Lady Baizhi."
Upon hearing this, Eaton immediately took out a small bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Since you've all signed contracts with me, you're now my employees."
"Although I won't pay you salaries, since you're already company property, you might not be very competitive within your own families."
"So, I'll give each of you one of these anti-aging pills. You can use them to greatly increase your influence within the family."
"Remember, keep a firm grip on the family power. If you lose control, I won't kill you, but you'll get to experience what it's like to beg on the streets."
"what?"
The crowd below looked at each other in disbelief, almost doubting whether they had heard correctly.
Fortunately, Eaton picked up the conversation and said:
"That's right, it's the thing you're thinking of. One pill can turn a seventy- or eighty-year-old into a young man."
"Bai Zhi is kind and has bestowed this upon you in order to enhance your competitiveness."
Bai Zhi nodded in agreement. Although she knew that if someone made a statement about her worth, she could forcefully acquire that person and make them her slave by offering something of higher value.
But she couldn't do that one person at a time.
Four or five people are born every second in the world. Even if she signed up for ages, she couldn't possibly sign up for everyone.
Even if we only sign contracts with high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals, it's impossible; there are simply too many people.
Moreover, modern society is not something that can be achieved simply by controlling a few individuals.
That's a complete system.
Therefore, using these loyal subjects who have signed contracts as bait, along with the anti-aging drug, to expand the scope of control is the more correct approach.
Everyone's faces lit up with joy; they had thought they were about to fall into the abyss and join forces with the devil.
Unexpectedly, this was not an abyss, but a paradise.
And Angelica dahurica is undoubtedly an angel, no, a god!
As for whether what Bai Zhi said was false, they had almost no doubt about it.
Since the other party has already forcibly turned them into slaves, making them completely obedient tools, is it really necessary to deceive them like this?
There's no benefit to doing this.
As shrewd businessmen, they know very well that no one does anything that doesn't bring them benefits.
With this medicine, their status within the family would, without exaggeration, be absolutely above that of the previous head.
After all, those old Dengs were all on their deathbeds, and they spent their days thinking of all sorts of crooked ways to prolong their lives.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from the Destiny Building, Jackie Chan was making a difficult journey.
"According to enthusiastic people, the so-called Book of the Sun and Book of the Dead are buried in this desert, containing ancient texts, which is exactly what our museum needs."
“Mr. Jackie Chan, you are an experienced archaeologist, surely you can find the location where these two scriptures were placed?”
A young man with a buzz cut said to Jackie Chan.
324 Xiaoyu: Look what I dug up?
"Hey, Uncle Long, we're probably going to have a thrilling adventure this time!"
"Xiaoyu, this is not a game. Archaeology is a very dangerous activity. To be honest, I really shouldn't have let you come."
Jackie Chan shook his head helplessly and looked at the young man with the buzz cut.
“Mr. Vizer, why don’t we send Xiaoyu back first?”
“She’s just a little kid, it’s not appropriate for her to be here. If she gets into any danger, she’ll be doomed.”
"Don't worry, Uncle Long."
Xiaoyu proudly pulled out something, "With this, we'll definitely be safe and sound!"
"A dog talisman? Oh my god, Xiaoyu, you stole the talisman from Daddy's hand?!"
Jackie Chan clutched his head in pain, already anticipating the scene of his father flying into a rage in the antique shop.
"Hey, what do you mean by stealing? This is a good thing to keep us safe."
"And... I also have this. If we really encounter a situation where even talismans can't protect us, we can use this to call for Little Angelica, and she will definitely be able to save us~"
As Xiaoyu spoke, she took a cell phone out of her pocket.
It wasn't one of those basic phones currently on the market, but a model with a large screen that looked very advanced.
This was specially manufactured by Bai Zhi using the Hyperion's production line, and it can be directly connected to the spacecraft's communication channel.
"Angelica dahurica again..."
Jackie Chan was somewhat helpless, but he couldn't say anything, after all, Bai Zhi had already amassed such great power.
To put it bluntly, it's perfectly fine for many people to disappear without a trace.
But they still didn't do anything violent to them.
Compared to that Holy Lord, she was already considered very kind.
Moreover, he had to admit that if anything really went wrong, Bai Zhi could indeed protect Xiao Yu's safety.
"Oh, Miss Bai Zhi, she's such a kind person. Why does Mr. Jackie Chan seem to have a prejudice against her?"
A hint of respect flashed in Vizer's eyes as he stood to the side, and he spoke again.
“Mr. Vizer, actually, Bai Zhi... never mind, it’s nothing.”
Jackie Chan wanted to explain Bai Zhi's situation, but since the person in front of him was his sugar daddy, and he had a high opinion of Bai Zhi, he decided not to offend him.
"Hehe, everyone has their own thoughts. Although I don't agree with Mr. Jackie Chan's position, I won't comment on it easily."
Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully to Vezel.
"Thank you, Mr. Wiese."
"No need to thank me, Mr. Jackie Chan. Your success in the archaeological work is the greatest gratitude I can express."
As he spoke, Vizer looked up at the sun, which was already beginning to set.
"It's getting late, let's hurry to the pyramids to find the two legendary scriptures."
"No problem... but have we obtained authorization from Egypt to freely conduct archaeological excavations at the pyramids..."
After hesitating for a moment, Jackie Chan still spoke.
In his memory, the Egyptian pyramids have always been a popular archaeological site.
However, nowadays, it is rare to issue archaeological qualifications.
Going to do archaeological work secretly is very risky.
He doesn't want to end up in jail.
"Mr. Jackie Chan, you don't need to worry about that. We've already spoken with the relevant Egyptian officials. As long as the pyramids aren't damaged, everything will be fine."
Hearing Vezel's confident words, Jackie Chan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, what are you dawdling about? Let's go, I can't wait any longer."
Xiaoyu seemed a little impatient. She had finally managed to get out on an adventure during her vacation, and she didn't want to waste a single moment.
"Alright, alright, let's go now."
Jackie Chan shook his head helplessly, took a step forward, and, relying on his rich experience, led the two forward.
"Oh, you went to the Egyptian pyramids for archaeological work."
Inside the Tianming Building, Bai Zhi looked at the chat interface labeled as the security squad leader and smiled with interest.
That's right, the young man named Vizer was actually a security team leader who used the title of a museum executive to monitor Jackie Chan and his party, and incidentally obtain those strange treasures.
These treasures might inspire her to create new magic.
She then clicked on the location sent to her.
The moment she set the location, the Hyperion, which was floating in Earth's orbit, began to move and quickly flew to orbit over the Egyptian desert, where it began to fly in sync with the Earth.
Then, a clear overhead view was displayed on Bai Zhi's phone.
With Jade and Jackie Chan around, this adventure is likely to go awry!
Bai Zhi stared at the screen with delight.
As is customary, when these two appear together, a major plot development is almost guaranteed.
This is also why Bai Zhi suggested to Xiao Yu that she go with Jackie Chan.
And usually, such major events yield very good results.
In the footage, Jackie Chan leads two people to a secluded spot, where they then take out portable shovels and start digging.
"According to the information you obtained, Mr. Vizer, and what is written in that ancient book, it is said to be north of the Fall of the Noble."
According to the description in that ancient book, the pharaoh should be buried in that pyramid over there, and the Book of the Dead should be located beneath it.
Not far north of a pyramid, Jackie Chan patted the ruins of the building, which were buried in yellow sand, and said confidently.
"This place is so big... I think we might need to call in someone to explore it."
Vizer stretched his body and felt that it would be too difficult for them to dig out the Book of the Dead hidden beneath this small ruin.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyu's voice came over.
"Hey, look what I dug up!!"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately turned their gaze over.
Xiaoyu picked up a large book covered in yellow sand and waved it excitedly at the two of them.
"This is...."
Jackie Chan walked over with some surprise and took the book from Jade's hand.
He casually flipped it open.
"Is this the language of ancient Egypt? Hear my call, my venerable gods... please return."
Jackie Chan looked at the characters on the book and read them aloud, one sentence at a time.
"Uncle Long, this sounds a bit like a spell. Could it be some kind of curse?"
"How could that be, Xiaoyu? You're overthinking it. Not every place has supernatural powers."
Jackie Chan patted Jade's head and said with a smile.
Xiaoyu shook her head. "But Uncle Long, this is Egypt, which is an ancient civilization, right?"
"But they've already been wiped out. If they really had supernatural powers, how could they possibly change the masters of this land?"
"What is recorded in this scripture is nothing more than the imagination of the ancients; it is impossible for them to actually come back to life and cause us trouble."
