Chapter 113 Jinjiang Debut
Tian Xiaotian covered her face in panic and screamed, "Aren't you the chef here? The boss paid you so much, why did you betray us? Are you crazy?!"
Bai Mian remembered that she was still in the appearance of a chef, so she used the illusion spell again and changed back to her original appearance. When Tian Xiaotian saw her face, she was stunned for a moment, obviously she recognized Bai Mian.
In order to compete for the role of "Female General Guarding the Nation", Tian Xiaotian once cast a curse on Qin Yujun. It was Bai Mian who helped Qin Yujun turn the situation around. After this incident, Tian Xiaotian searched for Bai Mian on the Internet, watched her previous live broadcast replays, and even became her fan. When she saw that the person who came was Bai Mian, Tian Xiaotian's mood instantly became very complicated.
Bai Mian said to her coldly, "Don't struggle. My companions have called the police. You'd better wait here for the police to arrive. If you run away, you will be a wanted criminal."
Tian Xiaotian lowered her status and begged Bai Mian: "Master Bai, I know you, I know you have great powers. Anyway, the police haven't come yet, can you think of a way to hide me? When the police come, you can say you have never seen me, okay? I am a star, I can't be arrested by the police!"
Bai Mian asked back: "Why should I help you?" Tian Xiaotian asked unwillingly: "Then why did you help Qin Yujun in the first place? You interfered in the affairs of our circle just to make money. How much money do you want? Just tell me, it's just a matter of one word!"
Bai Mian smiled disdainfully: "Qin Yujun is on the right path, so naturally someone will help her. Now that you have committed such an evil act as cannibalism, even God cannot stand it. Do you think you can still get away with it?"
Tian Xiaotian immediately explained: "No, I have my reasons! I don't want to eat human flesh, but I really have no choice. When I was walking on the red carpet, I accidentally fell and broke my leg. The doctor said that even if I recover in the future, I will never do strenuous exercise again. Master, you know that I am a martial arts actor! In this way, my acting career will be completely over!"
Bai Mian raised an eyebrow and asked, "What does this have to do with you eating human flesh?"
Tian Xiaotian: "Just after I was hospitalized, someone contacted me and said he had a secret recipe that could make people younger. I thought it was some kind of medical cosmetic procedure, but the man insisted on meeting me to talk to me, so I had no choice but to let him come to my ward. After entering the ward, he showed me an ancient book and said it was found in the tomb of Emperor Ling Yuan. You know Emperor Ling Yuan, right? He is the longest-lived emperor in history."
Bai Mian asked in disbelief: "You believe it? Haha, you were the one who cast the curse on someone before. You always like to take the wrong path when encountering problems. No wonder these people with ulterior motives would come to you."
Tian Xiaotian said awkwardly, "I... I don't know if it's true or not, but I had no other choice at the time, so I had to give it a try. Master, can you understand? I have won many major awards, and I was once very famous! But now I am older, and my appearance is not as good as before. I haven't received any good scripts for a long time."
"I got the role in 'The Female General Guarding the Nation' and originally wanted to make a comeback, but you guys ruined it! Not only did I fail to make a comeback, I became a joke. Now my legs are broken. What will be waiting for me in the future? I can only be forgotten and play the role of a wicked mother-in-law or an old lady in some sad dramas. How can I bear such a huge gap in status?!"
Bai Mian scolded: "You feel sorry for your own future, why don't you think about those girls who were victimized? They originally had a bright future, but now? They can only lie in the freezer and become your meal!"
Tian Xiaotian pretended to be innocent and said, "I, I don't know. I really didn't know that this is how they got their meat. If I had known earlier, I would not have gone along with them! I thought those were bodies they stole from hospitals and crematoriums. I thought those girls died accidentally!"
Bai Mian sneered: "Don't know? I think you are pretending to be ignorant. You clearly don't care! You don't care how these girls came. You think you are noble and put your life above theirs. As long as it helps you, it doesn't matter how these girls died."
Tian Xiaotian was speechless and lowered her head in shame.
Bai Mian sighed and said, "Go on, tell me what happened next."
Tian Xiaotian saw that Bai Mian's attitude had changed, and thought that she would let him go, so she immediately said: "That person told me in detail the contents of the ancient books. The ancient books said that eating human flesh can make people refreshed and younger. This is the secret recipe that Emperor Ling Yuan has been using. The reason why he can live to over ninety years old is because he has been taking human flesh. Master, eating human flesh has existed since ancient times. This is the wisdom of our ancestors!"
"In view of my current situation, that person suggested that I eat the flesh of young girls. He said that like cures like, if I eat a 20-year-old girl, I will become a 20-year-old girl. God knows how much I want to change back. Twenty years old was when I was in the best condition! If I change back to 20 years old, I can sweep away all the female stars in the domestic entertainment industry!"
"After listening to his story, I was a little excited and wanted to give it a try. He told me that they hold a dinner party every week and many celebrities have joined their party. If I am willing, he can bring me some dishes to taste. It is free anyway, so I agreed."
"Later, he brought me some human flesh for tasting, and I ate it bravely. You know what, it really worked like a charm! My leg was injured, and the doctor had originally told me to stay in bed for three months and not walk. But after eating the meat, I immediately had the urge to walk. And when I walked, my foot didn't hurt at all, it was as if I had never been injured!"
Tian Xiaotian pointed to the crutches beside her and said, "Look, I can now use crutches to come to such a far place to attend the banquet. I'm afraid the doctor didn't expect that I could recover so quickly. Master, you may think I'm stupid, but this thing is really effective! You haven't tried it. If you try it, I guarantee that you will be fascinated by it!"
Bai Mian asked: "Have you recently felt high and energetic, with less sleep, and your words and actions are bolder than before?"
Tian Xiaotian nodded in surprise: "Yes, how did you know? This is exactly what I want to tell you. Look, isn't this the evidence that I'm getting younger? Only young people can be so energetic!"
Bai Mian shook his head and told the truth: "You are wrong. The reason you feel this way is because the meat you eat has stimulants added to it."
"What?" Tian Xiaotian's pupils widened instantly.
Bai Mian explained: "Stimulants can make you feel high and confident, and can also improve your physical fitness. This is the same as athletes taking stimulants. However, the effect of stimulants is only temporary after all. That's why the organizers behind the scenes require you to attend a dinner party once a week. If you don't do this, your 'youthful vitality' will disappear."
After finishing speaking, Bai Mian added: "If eating human flesh is really useful, then why did Emperor Ling Yuan die? Besides, that ancient book is not real at all. It is just a modern craft they forged. It is because you are too superstitious about these crooked things that you fell into their trap."
Tian Xiaotian was stunned for a moment. "So... I endured the nausea and ate all that human flesh, but it was all in vain? They lied to me, this was a scam from the beginning to the end! They made up this huge scam just to cheat me out of my money! These bastards, I spent tens of millions to attend this party, including the membership fee and the confidentiality fee, and now it's all gone to waste!"
"You didn't eat in vain," Bai Mian reminded, "You also harvested prions."
Tian Xiaotian asked blankly: "What is a prion?"
Bai Mian said softly, "This is a virus that currently has no solution. As for the symptoms of infection, you can search online yourself. I'm afraid that if I tell you now, I'll scare you."
Tian Xiaotian hesitated for a few seconds, and finally understood what Bai Mian said: "There is no solution, it just can't be cured. In other words, I'm going to die? I'm going to be killed by those pieces of broken human flesh?"
Bai Mian spread his hands and said nothing. Tian Xiaotian grabbed Bai Mian again and begged, "Master, you have great magical powers. Please help me. I am only 40 years old. I don't want to die. I still have so much money. I really don't want to die like this. I don't want anything. I don't want a future or to be younger. As long as I can live, I will agree to anything. I can give you money!"
Bai Mian broke free from her hand and said helplessly: "I've told you before, this is an untreatable disease. Even if you seek help from famous doctors all over the world, it will be useless. I advise you to cherish your last moments."
Tian Xiaotian was in a trance for a while, and suddenly grabbed Bai Mian's hand again: "Master, if what you said is true, can you let me go for the sake of my death? I don't want people to know that I have been to this banquet. I have lived a glorious life for half of my life. Now that I am powerless to change the situation, I want to leave in a dignified manner. I don't want to be disgraced before I die!"
Bai Mian sighed softly and took out his mobile phone from his apron: "Then you may be a little late. I have already broadcast everything that happened just now."
"ah--"
Tian Xiaotian let out an ear-piercing scream. She rushed forward and knocked Bai Mian to the ground. She grabbed Bai Mian's neck and said, "I begged you again and again, why won't you let me go? It's you - it's you who ruined me. Anyway, I won't live much longer. I want to die with you!"
Just when Bai Mian was about to hypnotize Tian Xiaotian, the door was broken open from the outside and the police arrived in time.
After the police entered the house, Bai Mian immediately lifted the hypnosis on everyone. The chefs and diners in the villa were all arrested by the police, and Tian Xiaotian was also handcuffed.
When being dragged away, Tian Xiaotian shouted at Bai Mian at the top of her lungs: "Bai, you keep embarrassing me. Even if I die or become a ghost, I will not let you go!"
Bai Mian moved his wrist easily and said, "What a coincidence! My specialty is catching ghosts. You are welcome to help me achieve more."
