Hunter-Lee nodded thoughtfully and then asked, "Master, if I want to kill someone, can't I just find a way to make him watch the videotape?"

Cao Kun laughed and said, "You've been clever this time. This method will work for now."

Hunter Lee's eyes lit up: "I know what to do, Master."

Hunter Lee took the video with him.

Cao Kun called Bart again: "Hunter Lee is doing something for me. Keep an eye on him secretly and don't let him leave any loose ends that anyone will find out."

Bart immediately replied, "Yes, Master."

With FBI's cooperation and support, Hunter Lee's actions will be carried out silently and without anyone noticing.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun asked Yamashita Seiko to buy a CD/DVD burning device.

He burned dozens of copies of the videotape he had just watched.

Like Mary Shaw, Samora (Sadako) is a rule-breaking character.

Samora's rule is that after watching the video, if you don't want to die, you have to burn a copy of the tape so that others can see its contents.

It's equivalent to spreading the curse to more people in a roundabout way.

That way, I won't have to die.

In movies, to portray the protagonist's kindness and greatness, the protagonists are often unwilling to do such things; they would rather sacrifice themselves.

In reality, if people knew about this rule, they would certainly not hesitate to spread the curse.

The next day, Bart called with a somewhat anxious tone: "Master, Hunter Lee is distributing those videotapes. Did you order that?"

Cao Kun: "Not bad."

Bart asked, puzzled, "Why? This will kill even more people."

Cao Kun: "Have you ever heard of raising a bandit to enhance one's own power?"

Bart: "What do you mean?"

Cao Kun: "Tell me, is it more rewarding to solve the case now, or to solve it after hundreds more people have died?"

Bart fell silent.

He understood what Cao Kun meant.

Of course, "raising a bandit to enhance one's own importance" doesn't entirely mean that.

But as long as Bart understands, that's fine.

Bart said in a deep voice, "Master, I understand."

Cao Kun: "That's good. Keep an eye on Hunter Lee and make sure he's not discovered."

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, an excited smile gradually spread across Bart's face.

As Cao Kun said, if he waited until the case became even bigger and more people died, he would be more credited for solving it.

Moreover, once the dead are scattered throughout the country, those above cannot blame him for incompetence.

When other parts of the country were at their wits' end with FbI, he dealt with it in one fell swoop.

The merit is unimaginable.

"I hope my master won't send me to the position of bureau chief."

Thinking of this, Bart couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He was incredibly grateful that he had made the right decision earlier.

Barthes believed that Cao Kun was fostering bandits to enhance his own prestige.

But Cao Kun had much more to think about.

Besides giving Bart more credit and taking this opportunity to suppress the sales of those films, he also wanted to nurture Samora to be even stronger.

Only by resolving this issue can you gain more experience points.

In this way, he could break through to the level of the Evil Core in one fell swoop.

Of course, there needs to be a limit; Samora shouldn't kill too many people and become too powerful.

Otherwise, if you go too far and get yourself into trouble, then things could get really messy.

With Cao Kun's deliberate indulgence and the cooperation between Butt and Hunter Lee, more and more people are dying at Samora's hands.

Originally, this case was only a case in the Los Angeles area.

But now, it has suddenly spread to other cities.

Now, the FBI in those areas has also started to pay attention to this case.

However, because there was still too little time, they were all completely confused and had no clue what to do.

Cao Kun also gave the videotapes he burned to Hunter Lee, who then distributed them.

A few days later, Cao Kun discovered that the curse power on his body had disappeared once again.

On January 12, 2000, the Screen Actors Guild Awards announced the nominations for films nominated in 1999.

Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie were nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, for their roles in "Girl, Interrupted".

Riding on this success, "The Moving Girl" was officially released nationwide on January 14.

With the positive word-of-mouth and the nomination list, the film's box office performance wasn't too bad, but it wasn't great either.

This is, after all, an art film.

Now, the film's producers hope to actually win some awards, especially Oscars, in order to boost box office revenue.

Viona's home.

Both Winona and Angelina looked excited.

"We have actually been nominated."

The two looked at Cao Kun expectantly: "Can you win an award?"

Cao Kun: We'll find out then.

Viona hugged Cao Kun's arm and said, "Stop teasing us."

Angelina's eyes darted around, and she said, "There shouldn't be any problem."

Vinona asked, "Why?"

Angelina: "Don't forget, he invested in Charlie's Angels."

Vinona was still a little confused: "What does this have to do with Charlie's Angels?"

"How did you become famous when you're so stupid?" Angelina said irritably. "Think about it, once we each win the Oscar for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress..."

Then, if they also starred in "Charlie's Angels," you can imagine how much attention and popularity that movie would receive.

Even advertising costs can be saved a lot of money.

As long as the movie isn't too bad, it can generally make money.

Vinona finally understood, and her eyes lit up: "So that's how it is."

Cao Kun had to admit that Angelina was very clever.

No wonder she went so far in the future.

On the other hand, Winona is a bit silly.

No wonder, in that other world, she rapidly declined.

But for some reason, Cao Kun preferred Wei Nuona a little more than the other two.

It wasn't that he disliked Angelina, it's just that this woman was far too calculating.

With sparkling eyes, Winona asked Cao Kun, "Is that so?"

Cao Kun: "Guess."

The next day, as soon as Cao Kun returned to the Gathering Evil Land, he sensed something.

He immediately went into the basement.

The lid of the pottery jar used to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu was lifted.

All that could be seen was that, apart from the golden silkworm gu embryo that was no longer recognizable, the other 99 gu worms in the jar had all disappeared.

The original scorpion gu had become grotesquely shaped.

At this moment, it was asleep, but its aura was extremely powerful.

Cao Kun could sense that drastic changes were taking place inside its body.

Even its appearance is shrinking and deforming.

The color on its body is also changing little by little.

Seeing this, Cao Kun couldn't help but smile broadly: "It's done."

Once the Golden Silkworm Gu has been refined to this stage, it's almost complete.

All that remains is to feed it fresh blood once a day and wait for it to complete its final transformation.

The final step, while it does have a chance of failure, is usually very small.

Cao Kun pricked his finger, used the blood as ink, and drew runes on the golden silkworm gu embryo with his finger as a brush.
