A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 361, Bill 666

Upon hearing Jiang Shuzhou's words, Denuozhi felt a sense of relief for some reason, and then immediately burned the invitation.

"Why burn it?"

"Don't you know it's dangerous to use fire in a vehicle?"

Jiang Shuzhou said it casually, not really caring.

After all, speeding is more dangerous.

And so, the car roared on its way to the federal government.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Inside a conference room at the federal government headquarters, the atmosphere was quite lively.

"I've said it before, there's no room for negotiation!"

"General Field, is this the military's stance?"

"You son of a bitch! Do you know what's going to happen?"

"You bastard, you actually came up with the idea of ​​letting people take one day a year to kill to their hearts' content!"

"I respect the jury's opinion. However, General Field, I must tell you that this was President Francis Underwood's decision. You must know, the military's budget is still..."

"Go to hell! If things get out of control, do you know how many innocent soldiers will sacrifice their lives?"

"This is your duty. You're taking taxpayers' money and not doing your job. How can you have the nerve to do that?"

"I can..."

General Field was an elderly man with gray hair, but this did not diminish his sharp temperament in the slightest. This old man had a heart of steel.

However, my heart is red now because I'm angry.

These officials are all talk and no action, spewing nonsense from their superiors and speaking nonsense from their subordinates. They just let the military suppress any potential chaos. How many young soldiers will lose their lives because of this?

Is this something a human being would do? Is this something a human being would say?

"I understand how you feel, but I hope you can..."

Kevin Spacey, the president's legal counsel, is working to advance the legislation of Proposition 666.

They've argued countless times.

Led by General Field, a significant number of people disagreed with the legislation.

This is why they have shelved the bill for so long.

"You mean your mom?"

General Field's veins bulged, and he was ready to start a real-life brawl, saying he'd beat this guy into submission if he wasn't convinced.

"I'd like to remind you that if you abuse violence, your position may be..."

Kevin tried his best to calmly advise him, while also feeling deep regret.

I should have known better than to assure the president that I could get this done.

Who are these people?

Although Field and Kevin were arguing fiercely, they weren't the only ones there. However, the others didn't care at all and just watched the show.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Gentlemen, it seems I've arrived at the wrong time?"

Jiang Shuzhou pushed open the door and immediately saw an old man with a muscular body grabbing a young man by the collar. It looked like something was about to happen, which was quite shocking.

"No, you've come at just the right time."

Field snorted coldly, and out of respect for Jiang Shuzhou's arrival, he restrained the urge to beat Kevin up.

"Ahem, please excuse my poor appearance."

Kevin quickly straightened his collar, trying his best not to look disheveled.

"No, I didn't expect everyone to be so energetic. I originally thought that government officials were all serious and stern elites, but I didn't expect everyone to be so open-minded."

"Haha, hahaha, this is youthful, it's all young people."

Kevin was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to say that he was actually the kind of serious, formal elite who never smiled.

"By the way, aren't you going to introduce me?"

Jiang Shuzhou didn't intend to embarrass anyone. After teasing the person, he quickly gave them a way out.

"Perfect timing! We're about to hold a seminar, so let me introduce you to everyone."

Kevin knows when to back down.

"This is Professor Moriarty, a master of criminal psychology, who has made outstanding achievements in many fields, including performance art and medicine."

Kevin introduced Jiang Shuzhou to the others.

"Hannibal Lecter, PhD in Psychology, is a colleague of yours. I look forward to your performance."

A man with elegant manners extended his hand to Jiang Shuzhou.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. How have you been eating lately?"

Jiang Shuzhou's greeting seemed quite ordinary, but his words caused Hannibal's expression to change slightly for a moment.

"Listen carefully, you don't need to worry about it."

"I'm curious, do animal organs have a fishy smell? Doesn't it make you feel nauseous?"

The moment Jiang Shuzhou saw Hannibal, he knew that this guy had killed a lot of people, and probably even eaten a lot of them.

Although he disguised himself well, it was useless. Jiang Shuzhou's observation ability was extraordinary. The two were not on the same level and could not be compared at all.

Whether it's the smell in his breath, the residue on his teeth, or his overall demeanor, it all suggests that this person is no ordinary individual.

"If prepared properly, it will naturally have no taste."

Hannibal smiled and said this, as if discussing a trivial matter.

Unlike Jiang Shuzhou's insightful understanding, Hannibal couldn't see through Jiang Shuzhou at all.

Or rather, this person has a lot of contradictions.

First, judging from his attire, this person must be highly educated, and the indifference to life in his eyes is almost undisguised. With just one glance, Hannibal knew that the two were the same kind of people.

However, unlike others, this person, being a psychology expert, made no attempt to conceal himself, as if unaware that this would reveal information. Furthermore, his words and actions suggested that he cared a great deal about others.

In short, it's very strange.

The two sides didn't talk much, since there were other people coming, and their exchanges were all brief and to the point.

"Jack Crawford, Deputy Director of the FBI."

A slightly overweight man said with a smile.

"I've long admired your name."

Jiang Shuzhou shook hands politely.

"Will Graham, a federal legislator."

Will is quite young, and can be described as a promising young man.

"Truly a young man of great talent."

"You're not bad either."

The two shook hands warmly.

"Tony Walker, the head of the Walker Corporation."

Tony nodded slightly to Jiang Shuzhou, showing no intention of shaking hands.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't offer any assistance, as face is a two-way street. Since Tony didn't want to, Jiang Shuzhou wouldn't indulge him.

"Field".

The old man said coldly, as if he had just learned of Jiang Shuzhou's attitude toward Bill 666.

"Kevin Spacey, legislative advisor, you've met me."

Kevin shook hands with Jiang Shuzhou very warmly, as if he had seen a savior.

"So that's why we needed to add someone new. Turns out it's someone you just hired. What, is this bill absolutely necessary to be implemented?"

General Field snorted coldly and launched his attack directly.
