Chapter 113 Jinjiang First Launch

Tian Xiaotian covered her face in panic and screamed, "Aren't you the chef here? The boss gave you such a high salary, 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, and she obviously recognized Bai Mian.

In order to compete for the role of "The Female General Who Restores the Nation", Tian Xiaotian once harmed Qin Yujun, but Bai Mian helped Qin Yujun turn the situation around. After this incident, Tian Xiaotian also 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 them 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, the police haven't come yet, can you think of a way to hide me, and 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 intervened 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 there will be people to 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 down and broke my leg. The doctor said that even if I recover in the future, I can never do strenuous exercise again. Master, you know, I am a martial arts actor! In this way, my acting career is completely over!"

Bai Mian raised his eyebrows 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 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 tricked someone before. You always like to take the wrong path when encountering things. 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' and I wanted to make a comeback, but you guys ruined it! Not only did I fail to make a comeback, I became a joke, and 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 mother in some sad dramas. How can I bear such a huge gap in status?!"

Bai Mian rebuked: "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's how they got the meat. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone along with them! I thought they stole the bodies from hospitals and crematoriums. I thought those girls died accidentally!"

Bai Mian sneered: "Don't know? I think you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth. You clearly don't care! You don't care at all about how these girls came here. 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 his 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 90 years old is because he has been taking human flesh. Master, eating human flesh has been around 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 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. 20 years old is the best time for me! If I turn back to 20 years old, I can sweep all the female stars in the entertainment industry!"

"After listening to his story, I was a little tempted 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, as if I had never been injured!"

Tian Xiaotian pointed to the crutches beside her and said, "Look, I can now use them to come to such a far place to attend the banquet. I'm afraid the doctors 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, but if you have, I guarantee you will be fascinated by it!"

Bai Mian asked: "Have you been feeling high and energetic lately, sleeping less, and speaking and behaving more boldly 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 proof that I'm getting younger? Only young people can be so energetic!"

Bai Mian shook his head and told the truth: "No, you feel this way because stimulants were added to the meat you ate."

"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 temporary after all, so the organizers behind it 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. You are too superstitious about these crooked things, so you fell into their trap."

Tian Xiaotian was stunned for a moment: "So... I ate all that human flesh with disgust, but it was all in vain? They lied to me, this was a scam from beginning to 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 membership fees and confidentiality fees, and now it's all gone to waste!"

"You didn't eat in vain," Bai Mian reminded, "You also harvested prions."

Tian Xiaotian asked in confusion: "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 it would scare you if I told you now."

Tian Xiaotian hesitated for a few seconds, and finally understood what Bai Mian said: "There is no solution, which means it cannot be cured. In other words, I am going to die? I am going to be killed by those pieces of broken human flesh?"

Bai Mian spread his hands without saying anything. Tian Xiaotian grabbed Bai Mian again and begged him, "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 survive, I will agree to anything. I can give you money!"

Bai Mian broke free from her hand and said helplessly, "I've said it 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 can't do anything about it, I want to leave in a dignified manner. I don't want to be ruined before I die!"

Bai Mian sighed and took out her phone from her apron: "You may be a little late. I have already live-broadcasted everything that happened just now."

"ah--"

Tian Xiaotian let out a piercing scream. She rushed forward and knocked Bai Mian down. 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 destroyed 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. All the chefs and diners in the villa were 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 have repeatedly embarrassed me. Even if I die or become a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Bai Mian moved his wrist lightly: "What a coincidence, my specialty is catching ghosts, you are welcome to add to my achievements."
