A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 359, Bill 666

Jiang Shuzhou's answer was flawless.

You have to understand, this is a place with a faith, so Jiang Shuzhou certainly couldn't just say that gods are bullshit and that he himself is a demon.

Yes, although it is hard to believe, these people do indeed believe in God.

It's hard to believe that such a depraved country still promotes goodness and kindness and demands that people maintain virtue.

It was so humorous that Jiang Shuzhou even thought that these people's beliefs actually came from flying weeds.

"I'm talking about real angels and demons!"

"Not from stories, but real, tangible angels and demons."

Smith kept his voice very low.

Do you have any evidence?

Jiang Shuzhou was not surprised by this; he already knew it.

"Of course, if you'd be willing to help..."

Smith's meaning is self-evident.

"Tell me first, what exactly is this new bill?"

Jiang Shuzhou was very curious about this new bill.

He was also wondering what kind of new law could possibly be so effective once enacted and so capable of reducing the crime rate so much.

"You need to sign a confidentiality agreement before I can tell you."

Smith produced the agreement and gestured for Jiang Shuzhou to sign it.

Jiang Shuzhou narrowed his eyes, then smiled.

"Before we go, shall we shake hands?"

Jiang Shuzhou stretched out his hand and hovered in mid-air.

"it is good."

Smith reached out and shook hands with him.

"make a deal?"

"make a deal!"

Although Smith didn't understand why the other person asked that question, he still went along with what the other person was saying.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou's smile grew even more sinister.

He then signed the agreement.

"Sometimes I can't help but marvel at how this tiny piece of paper can have the power to make people sell their souls."

Smith's eyelids twitched at the pointed remark. He didn't know why, but he felt that something was off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Left with no other option, Smith had to bite the bullet and begin his presentation.

"Well, you might not know this, but the new bill is also called Bill 666..."

Smith then explained the new bill to Jiang Shuzhou in detail.

First, the main purpose of the new bill, Bill 666, is to reduce crime to the greatest extent possible.

It consists of several main parts.

First, regarding the daily aspects, in order to reduce the crime rate, Bill 666 stipulates that the conviction threshold for robbery is raised to 1000 federal dollars per month. That is, a person can only rob a maximum of 1000 federal dollars per month.

This change is quite revolutionary, but that's not the most important thing.

In addition, a large number of related minor offenses have been reclassified from criminal offenses to civil disputes in order to reduce the crime rate.

Of course, these are all temporary solutions, not permanent ones, and in reality, they can only suppress the symptoms to some extent.

The most significant point in Bill 666 is the next one.

From 6:00 AM on June 6th to 6:00 AM on June 7th each year, any citizen can freely vent their grievances. During this period, all public services will be suspended, and any violations or crimes committed during this time will not be prosecuted.

The bill's proponents argued that it would give people a day to vent, and that this would allow unsettling elements and madmen to roam the streets and kill each other.

Meanwhile, other normal people can hide in government-provided shelters, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

If we can get through this day, tomorrow will be a new day, and it will make the world a better place.

Jiang Shuzhou commented that it was eye-opening and also quite interesting.

Jiang Shuzhou has always believed that human nature is inherently evil.

If we really take it seriously, people are inherently neither good nor evil. What defines good and evil is morality, not people themselves. Perhaps what is evil here is good there.

Just like the pseudo-humans created by Jiang Shuzhou, they were born like children, like blank sheets of paper.

Killing someone and then replacing them is perfectly normal for a sham.

If no one teaches them, the pseudo-humans might think that it doesn't matter if a human loses their head, since a pseudo-human's head can be reattached after a while, but humans are different.

It's like a toddler pouring hot water on an ant nest while playing; they have no idea what the consequences will be.

Of course, the same applies to people.

Without guidance, children will inevitably commit evil deeds unconsciously.

Therefore, Jiang Shuzhou agrees with the idea that human nature is inherently evil.

It is precisely because of social and moral constraints that people's mistakes will not become increasingly serious or outrageous.

Of course, at Jiang Shuzhou's level, the only thing that can restrain him is his own morality. However, Jiang Shuzhou usually has an extremely flexible moral bottom line, so his conscience is sometimes present and sometimes absent, depending entirely on his mood, except for some things that cross the line.

Jiang Shuzhou always respected good people. Unless they were enemies, he would not make things difficult for them under normal circumstances, since there was no conflict of interest between them.

Of course, those who are not of our kind will have different hearts; those who are not human or who believe in gods are not included.

After all, gods are the enemies of mages, so they cannot show mercy.

The reason Jiang Shuzhou hasn't released the magic stone infection into the Alliance of Saints yet is because he wants to wait until later. After all, with the existing defenses in place, this thing won't be very effective.

And this world has not yet been ravaged by plague, all thanks to Jiang Shuzhou's conscience, and of course, the scrutiny of the plane's will.

Otherwise, no matter what, Jiang Shuzhou would have infected a group of people first.

After all, once infected with the Scarlet Infection, under normal circumstances, apart from being in Jiang Shuzhou's hands, there's not much else to worry about. As long as you don't go against Jiang Shuzhou, this stuff can even improve your physical fitness and boost your immunity.

After all, no other viral infection is as severe as scarlet infection. Whenever other diseases try to invade, they don't even need the immune system to exert its power; scarlet infection simply kicks them to death like they're sitting on the side of the road.

In other words, every time he suppressed the urge to unleash the Scarlet Infection, he was saving the world and doing a great service.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Seeing Jiang Shuzhou deep in thought, Commissioner Smith couldn't help but ask a question.

He was genuinely worried, but he had to admit it, after all, this was just too crazy.

Normally, it would be difficult for anyone to agree, but it is indeed useful.

"Do you know what Kolozia will become after this bill is implemented?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked, but strangely enough, Smith didn't feel much resistance. On the contrary, he could see the excitement in Jiang Shuzhou's eyes.

"Professor, I don't know, but I can foresee that the world will become a better place."

"Perhaps."

Jiang Shuzhou neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Although it still has flaws, I agree without a doubt."
