Chapter 154: Lobbying (Part II)

In a mansion somewhere in Beverly Hills, the butler and the servant had already fled by car when the tide fell, and only a perennial owner and a mysterious guest were left in the huge house, and the two sat in the living room, the host was sitting in a precarious position, and the guests were casual and scattered.

The owner is a black man, his skin is as black as bitter chocolate, he is not very old, he is neither a famous movie star nor a sports star, and it is a rare thing to have enough money to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills, even in the American Confederation, where there are miracles every day.

The guest was also a black man, with a darker complexion, as black as carbon, and thus the whites of his eyes and teeth were whiter, and whiter than Oriental porcelain.

Both of them held a goblet in their hands, the host cup contained a parrot Cabernet Sauvignon worth ten thousand gold, and the scarlet liquid in the guest's cup was thicker, which was virgin blood.

"It's a big risk for me to meet you in this place, and hopefully we'll get something out of it today." The host toasts to the guests.

The guest replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Doug, my men are fully sure of your safety. ”

"Even if I can guarantee my personal safety, it may not guarantee the safety of my wealth. Crimes against humanity are a thorny charge that even a leading lawyer would not want to take on. The master politely dipped his broad lips in the rim of the glass and put it down, his dark eyes fixed in his sockets, casting a sharp gaze on the other side.

"To be honest, although I know that you have many bodies, I didn't expect you to choose a black body to talk to me before, after all, your name is 'White'." Doug told a sneer and then got straight to the point, "Mr. Freeman needs to know exactly when his conversion ceremony will take place?" ”

"Black and white, it's interesting, isn't it?"

Shiro was not as reserved as Doug, he drank the human blood in the cup with his neck tilted up, and stretched out his tongue to lick the rim of the cup, and then replied, "After our plan is successful, I will personally perform the conversion ceremony for Mr. Freeman." I know Mr. Freeman is anxious, but the conversion ceremony must wait until the plan is successful. In the coming period, there will be a strong wave of anti-Holy sentiment within humanity. If we do nothing, your government, the government of Huaxia, will spare no effort to discredit the Holy Race, and then wipe out the Holy Race at its root. For the sake of the survival of the Holy Family, and for the sake of his own evolution, Mr. Freeman must do his best to cooperate with us so that we can shine the light of the Temple on this glorious land. ”

Doug did a great job of hiding his disgust for the dialogue, kept an elegant smile and shook his head: "This is the American Federation, you should know the rules of the game of the American Federation, whether it is President William or Mr. Freeman, it is impossible to act as he wants, Mr. Freeman has made the greatest sacrifice, and he will not take further action until he gets a tangible return." And, in a way, members of the board of directors are more difficult to deal with than members of Congress. ”

Doug is telling the truth, he was once an executive assistant to a big figure in the White House and now an agent of a key member of the board of directors of a large consortium, and he knows both sides well enough to be judged.

"Tell Mr. Freeman on my behalf that I hope he can join the Holy Family as soon as possible, but until the plan succeeds, we need him to remain a human being, because he cannot stand on the cusp of the coming great wave as a Holy Race, which will break him to pieces and cause the Holy Family to suffer unbearable blows. Also, I'm sure Mr. Freeman will continue to act, and no one can resist the temptation of a new life, can they? As for the obstruction of the other members of the board...... Again, no one can resist the temptation of a new life. ”

Bai's hint is clear enough: most of the members of the board of directors are old, and the process of climbing to the top has not only consumed their time for decades, but also their physical health. Becoming a saint and gaining a new lease of life means a second new life for an elderly person in a high position, and not many people can resist this temptation.

"Yes, the temptation is attractive. But Mr. Bai, the members of the board of directors are just old, not old and confused. Doug thought to himself that his intellect might not be comparable to that of this non-human being, and that it would be useless to continue such a guessing conversation, so he was more straightforward, "Mr. Freeman is suffering from a disease that even the best medical team can't turn his condition around, so he has no resistance to the transformation ritual, because Mr. Freeman has no choice, or only one choice, and that is you. As his surrogate, I respect his choice. However, I am pretty sure that the other members of the Board would never make the same choice, they have not yet reached the age of Mr. Freeman, and they have not experienced the despair of waiting for death in silence after all their efforts, and they have other ways out. Modern technology is changing with each passing day, especially biotechnology and medical care, even if they only have ten years left to live, they will think of the possibility that maybe there will be a major breakthrough in biotechnology in this decade, buying them more time to wait for the next breakthrough until the arrival of hibernation technology or immortality technology. ”

"For such a group of rich people who have always been at the top of the ladder of eternal life, the transformation ritual may make their hearts flutter, but it can only be a backup option, and they will not choose this path until they are cornered. After all, any human being of normal intelligence will be afraid of you, and I am determined to overcome that fear and sit here and talk to you. Doug let out a long breath.

"You're right." Bai raised his hands and applauded Doug gently, and to the beat of the applause, he said, "So if necessary, we can make them desperate first." ”

"Are you trying to forcibly convert them? I admit that with the strength of you and your subordinates, you do have the power to break through their security, kidnap them somewhere in the dark, and convert them directly into your race. But such an approach will only provoke a more ferocious counterattack, and believe me, the chaebols are united in their hatred of the interest groups, which is more terrible than the unity of the president and the Congress. Doug suddenly questioned Bai's IQ, this was the first time he had seen Bai in person, Bai didn't feel like a far-sighted chess player, a qualified chess player would not lift the table and break the rules of the game anyway.

Perhaps, this mysterious mutant is not as scary as the rumored species. The idea only passed through Doug's mind for a few seconds before disappearing without a trace.

It was in vain that he drove it away.

"No, it's not right to be strong...... Oh, you may not have understood, but I casually gave you an example, we can start with their weakness, I don't mean kidnapping or converting their families to threaten them, that's also a stupid idea, and I mean weakness, which is the most primitive human instinct: survival. Let's suppose we could use some kind of radioactive poison to make a board member suffer from an incurable terminal illness, or give him only a few dozen hours to live when exposed to radiation. He was faced with a choice: should he die generously, or would he join us? ”

Doug was stunned, and before cold sweat broke out of his pores, Bai calmed his mind with a sentence: "Don't worry, Mr. Doug, I won't do such a thing to you, that's a means to deal with the enemy, and you are our friend." Of course, the gates of the Holy Family are always open for you. ”

"Well, in that case...... The resistance from the board will indeed be greatly reduced. Doug clasped his fingers together, shifted his hips to adjust his sitting position, and said, "I suppose you have any other clones talking to some dignitaries, right?" Let me guess, General Angriel, and Mr. Kevin Spacey? ”

"That's good, no wonder Mr. Freeman chose you." White Chong Doug gave a thumbs up.

"It's just a simple way of eliminating, in the military system, Angelell is the most military-like general, in other words, he's the least politician-like military, and he's the commander of the Third Fleet, and he has instant access to the White House Emergency Operations Command Center video conference from his office after the outbreak of the war in Los Angeles." Doug would love to respond with his middle finger, but this is childish, he has long passed the age of vindictiveness, "and among the congressmen, Mr. Kevin is the most power-hungry and bottomless politician, and he is more unscrupulous than a dirty capitalist in order to climb the ladder." It just so happens that his wife is also a species egalitarian, and the species egalitarian firmly believes that every species on the planet shares the same blue sky and the same ocean with human beings, and should have the same sacred right to exist......"

"Isn't your race the one who has proven itself to be the best of the species? It's ironic, I guess, you would convince Mr. Kevin's wife that if the Holy Race, as a species that eats human corpses, can share a blue sky with humans, it will prove the inevitability and correctness of species egalitarianism. If the cannibalistic saints can have equal rights with humans, then the animals that are eaten by humans will naturally have corresponding equal rights. Excuse me, am I right? ”

"All right." Bai applauded again.

"Oh, I just want to tell you that whether it is the United States or China, there are countless people who are more capable than me, and since I can see through your thoughts, then what you think is a hidden plan is just a mouse in the spotlight." Doug stood proudly, buttoned up his suit, and said, "I will relay your words to Mr. Freeman, and take my leave." ”

"Doug."

Before Doug turned to leave, Bai suddenly shouted out to stop him.

"Let me ask you a question, how about the idea of absorbing the Holy Clan into the army to replenish the source of troops?"

"It's not possible, but it's bound to be controversial." Doug looked at Bai in surprise, and said while thinking, "The U.S. Federation has gradually moved away from the earliest global strategic layout, the technological advancement is gradually being leveled, but the gap in the military force cannot be filled, maybe the U.S. Federation can recruit a group of loyal fighters from Mexico and other countries by relaxing the immigration line, but the cost is too great and not in the interests of the entire U.S. Federation." So there will be people who will agree with the idea of using the Holy Family, after all, this is a country that values interests, but at the same time, it is also a rational and long-term country, so this idea cannot become a reality. The Holy Race can disguise itself as a hero to deceive ordinary people who don't know the truth, but they can't hide their true nature in front of people of insight, and I think now the president and his staff and cabinet have begun to think about how to use the Holy Race and exterminate the Holy Family. ”

"But...... This idea will bring some controversy, I remember that one of the Chinese art of war is the Ming Xiu plank road and the darkness of Chen Cang? Doug's eyes grew brighter and brighter, "I see, I see." Do you want to create controversy and divert attention? I think about it, well, tonight the hawks represented by General Angelil will have an emergency call with the president to inform the president of the dangers of recruiting the Holy Clan into the army, and then if someone makes this proposal and causes controversy, and then causes a strong resistance from the military, and continues to create controversy - as long as it is used to some means, it is not difficult at all, there are always many politicians in Congress who are used to creating controversy to fight for their own interests......"

"Then everyone's attention will be focused on this issue, but I can't figure out, what are you doing this for?" Doug asked, confused.

"I can't tell you." Shiro also stood up, came face to face with Doug, and asked, "Doug, you make me appreciate more than Mr. Freeman." So, I extend this invitation to you, would you like to join the glorious evolution? ”

"No, it can't be." Doug took a step back, trying to resist the urge to flee, and shook his head repeatedly, "I'd rather die than be a monster." ”

"Evolution from higher genes, how can it be called a monster?" Bai shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly, "But I understand, you are a black man born in the American Federation, and you have long been integrated into everything in this country, including religious and moral beliefs." It will not be easy for the Holy Race to take root in this land, and this resistance that will prevent you from progressing on the path of evolution will remain until the Holy Race is truly recognized. Until that day comes, remember that the door of evolution is always open to you. ”

Doug couldn't listen any longer, and left his villa as if fleeing for his life.

………………

In New York, a little girl as delicate as a porcelain doll causes a wave of exclamations at the Hudson River estuary on Liberty Island.

No matter what they are busy with, when they see this girl, people will stop and stop, or scream, or video and take pictures, and some people even kneel on the spot with a cross necklace in their hands.

The angelic little girl spreads her white and flawless wings and flapps softly, hanging above the head of the Statue of Liberty, chanting Emma Lazar's poems over and over again.

Take you weary people, you poor people

Give me all of you who are huddled in a heap of breath of free air

Send those who are homeless and weathered

I will lift up the lamp for them by this golden gate

The door to evolution is always open for you.
