Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 479 - 57 Simplifying Complex Problems

The simplest job in the world is nothing more than swinging a big sword and chopping at the head of an enemy with their health bar exposed.

To defeat the Demon King and save the world in one fell swoop.

But when Wang Yunxiao transmigrated over, those who dared to expose their health bars had already been chopped down by the President.

"The universal brotherhood theory proposed by Shen Jianzhen contains a lot of private goods, but this can’t be seen on the surface. On the outside, he staunchly supports the President and promotes the policies the President had previously set, so there’s no way to investigate further,"

Wang Yunxiao said this and felt a headache coming on.

The villains who get so angry at a single glance that they rush over to present their faces for a beating are the easiest enemies to deal with.

On the other hand, those Old Silver Coins who wrap themselves up tightly and disguise as good people are the hardest type to handle.

This is just like stock trading, where everyone knows that stocks are just a numbers game of buying and selling, with the dealer making money off the individual investors. But do the small investors hate the dealer? Not at all; whenever they get trapped in a stock purchase, they only consider their own luck and technical issues, never blaming the dealer.

So, does the dealer do anything wrong?

Of course not, they are merely operating within the rules of the game, it’s just that they have a little more money in hand and the staff under them happen to be a little more professional.

After all, in stocks, one person wins, one person loses, you cannot blame me for making money, can you?

The people of the Shen Family belong to this category.

If Wang Yunxiao was really just a Jianghu person who revels in quick retribution, he would have stormed their home and killed everyone there, both young and old, and that would be it.

But the problem is that this is not a personal vendetta.

Veronica curiously asked, "What private goods did they add?"

Wang Yunxiao shrugged, "It’s all about universal brotherhood, right? The President, with his divine writings and martial prowess, expanded the empire’s borders to an unprecedented size. Hence, the past understanding of the world does not apply to the current world anymore, the ’world’ now should refer to the entire Earth."

"That sounds correct, doesn’t it?"

"Since the President is going to be the leader of the world, it’s only right that he treats all nations and ethnicities equally. We should follow the example of ancient benevolent rulers and show an active and inclusive attitude towards foreign populaces, letting them feel the majesty and greatness of the empire."

"That doesn’t seem wrong either, does it?"

"Therefore, the household registration policy which was previously strictly limited should be gradually relaxed; we can no longer classify Foreigners into different social statuses, breeding racial discrimination...

"Hold on!"

Veronica suddenly interrupted Wang Yunxiao: "Why bring up strict limitations again? The prohibition on their registration has valid reasons, like with the Fusang People, those with tattoos on their faces are voluntarily assimilated, while those without tattoos are contaminated and can’t be considered human, how can we possibly grant them household registration?"

Wang Yunxiao spread his hands: "According to the Shen Family, what appears to us as perfectly reasonable rules and regulations, to those refugees who have traveled over vast oceans to this land, destitute and suffering from the bitter cold, are like insurmountable mountains."

"What do they want then, to let everyone come in? Who’s responsible when problems arise?"

"They wouldn’t be the ones responsible, anyway."

Wang Yunxiao glanced at Veronica’s chest which had been raised three centimeters by her anger: "Look, you get so anxious when this topic comes up; the bonuses the President gave to the Foreigners, it’s all been eaten up in kickbacks by people like you who arrived earlier, right?"

"Crazy!"

"This is the theory of the people of the Shen Family, they are only responsible for appeasing those overseas immigrants who have not obtained residency rights. They say whatever those people want to hear, regardless of whether it is true or not."

"No, no, no, there’s a problem with his theory right from the start."

Veronica sat up, crossed her legs, and said seriously, "True universal harmony should involve the Foreigners adapting to our standards, not us lowering our standards to accommodate them!"

"Do you think their theory could be considered a crime?"

Veronica was silent. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

In the times of the Former Dynasty, which was about thirty or forty years ago, even though the Foreigners had invaded, the Imperial Court still considered so-called Western civilization and science as nothing more than trickery and not worthy of consideration. They severely suppressed any ideas that did not conform to the teachings of the Saints.

Looking back now, you couldn’t say that the Imperial Court was completely wrong; after all, even the Foreigners themselves didn’t have a unified view on what exactly Western learning was. They too kept coming up with new theories and doctrines every few days, each sounding very plausible.

No one knew which path would work; some roads appeared bright and promising, but before you were halfway down, the role models paving the way would collapse.

The common folks couldn’t grasp such complex ideas; tell them that Qin Hui was not a good person, and they would hear it as all people with the surname Qin should be executed.

The President, known for her iron will, has always steadfastly promoted her faction’s ideology. However, she has always maintained an open and tolerant attitude towards public opinion.

Wang Yunxiao always kept up the good habit of reading newspapers and often saw various bizarre opinions, even experiencing firsthand being the subject of rumors and slander.

Comparatively speaking, the theories propagated by the people of the Shen Family were part of the batch that was still rational, objective, and neutral.

You might find them disgusting, but what they did truly did not break the law.

That was exactly Wang Yunxiao’s dilemma—he wanted to take them down, but couldn’t find an excuse.

After some thought, Veronica said, "That stone sculpture you brought back is called the Solomon Demon God Statue, also known as the Gargoyle. In the era before the telephone was invented, it was used by certain secret societies as a tool for long-distance communication. Its advantage is that it doesn’t require the user to have magic power, and it can also receive information unilaterally."

"Though it may not look like anything serious, it’s indeed not any kind of evil Sacrificer’s tool, and it can even serve the purpose of protecting one’s home."

In short—borderline, but not illegal.

"I know that, tell me something I don’t know."

"I just checked the archives, and this creature with a dragon, wings, and riding a horse should be Duke Astaroth from the seventy-two Demon Gods. This guy is a well-known Educator, or one could also say, an Instigator."

"Educator? What does he educate?"

"Freedom."

Good, that’s just the ticket!

Wang Yunxiao curved the corners of his mouth: "You said if the people of the Shen Family handed over the Imperial Jade Seal to the Demon Duke, would that count as a capital offense of treason?"

"Of course it would count, but they probably aren’t that stupid. Based on what you just said, the people of the Shen Family have kept themselves very clean. Astaroth is also a Demon God known for his cunning and trickery; whether he would take on this hot potato is a question. If placed in the hands of an associate or proxy, it could still achieve his purpose."

"They may not be stupid, but those working under them might not be as bright... Also, any word on that head?"

"Just a regular Demon; if it were alive, you might still interrogate it for some information, but you’ve already chopped off its head, so what more is there to say?"

"That’s not necessarily true; sometimes the dead are more useful than the living."
