The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

Born in 1982 in the Kensington district of Philadelphia, his father was a dock union accountant and his mother was a public elementary school teacher.

In 1996, General Electric witnessed a gang murdering his cousin in a grocery store. The murderer was released due to insufficient evidence, which prompted him to decide to join the police force.

Lehman Brothers joined the Philadelphia Police Department through an elite program in 1997, and his first assignment was to the Kensington neighborhood where he lived as a boy.

Apple's undercover team busted an East Coast human organ smuggling ring, rescued 17 illegal immigrants, and received a special medal from the mayor of Philadelphia.

……

After careful questioning, Kate confirmed that Sean had told her all the records of rewards and punishments and many daily trivial matters in a very organized manner.

Every detail he mentioned was identical to the recollections of his colleagues in the Philadelphia Police Department.

In addition, the DNA comparison was also consistent with Officer Sean's DNA in the database.

This means that the man in black, Sean, in front of him is the real Police Officer Sean.

According to Officer Sean, he replaced his position as a Philadelphia police officer with a doll. This happened three years ago.

"Do you think it's a coincidence that so many things happened in the Facebook year?" Li Shanze said with a frown.

He recounted what happened in Facebook that he learned from his recent investigation.

Dr. Miller was approached by Eternal Life Technology to perform a witchcraft operation on Robert Stroman; Dr. Miller performed heart surgery on Senator's wife Miranda Hamilton; Sean replaced himself with a puppet to join the Philadelphia Police Department, and he joined Eternal Life Technology's field team...

Xia Li was depressed: "My teacher suffered a severe blow three years ago and passed away a year later."

Kate narrowed her eyes. "Oh, I remember something. Three years ago, my promotion to Grand Knight of the Church was delayed for 184 days due to 'various bureaucratic complications'. This forced me to stay in the Vatican for over six months."

"I wouldn't be too surprised if it turns out that Calvin Hope himself was replaced at Facebook," Li Shanze shrugged.

Kate's hands were typing rapidly on the keyboard.

Then the church's Grand Knight sneered, "Three years ago, Calvin Hope led the people to use human shields to block bulldozers and preserve the remains of the Underground Railroad shelter from the Civil War. Since then, he has become famous."

"It seems like a series of things happened in Facebook." Li Shanze stood up. "Let's go. We need to have another good talk with our police officer Sean. For example, why did he reveal to me that Calvin Hope was a puppet?"

…………

"That's of course because of the Brotherhood of Time and Calvin Hope's daydream!" Officer Sean answered simply and concisely.

"Calvin Hope is a wizard from the Brotherhood of Time?" Kate raised an eyebrow. "What about you?"

"Yes, of course, he is a wizard of the Time Corpse Brotherhood! I am different from him. I believe in the path of space. I learned it from Xu Yuan!" Police Officer Sean replied.

Considering Sean's use of space magic to visit Dr. Miller, Li Shanze was not surprised that he was a wizard from the Xuyuan Society.

Perhaps those men in black who are out on field missions with Eternal Life Technology are all space wizards.

It seems that Police Officer Sean and Calvin Hope may belong to the conflict between different factions.

What Officer Sean said next indeed coincided with Li Shanze's guess.

"Calvin advocated using time magic to reshape America's collective memory and eliminate systemic discrimination against Black people within the time loop. He named this grand blueprint the 'Reset 1619 Project.'"

Li Shanze couldn't help but ask, "Sorry, why is it 1619?"

Officer Sean glanced at Li Shanze unhappily, his eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to curse.

I don’t know whether he realized that Li Shanze had yellow skin instead of white skin, or he realized that he was now a prisoner and the situation was stronger than him.

All in all, Officer Sean suppressed his anger and explained to Li Shanze.

"In August 1619, the first group of approximately 20 African slaves arrived in Jamestown, a British North American colony, marking the beginning of the institutionalization of a system of systematic racial oppression on the American continent."

"I understand. Sorry, please continue. Was the purpose of resetting 1619 to liberate the black slaves transported to the British North American colonies?"

This black wizard has even time traveled? Isn't he worried about the grandfather paradox?

"Hahahaha! If only he could do it! Unfortunately, his method is so stupid!"

"He intended to use the Time Corpse Brotherhood's Holy Land Paradox Bell Tower to implant a false history in August 1619: the slave ship 'White Lion' was sunk in a storm."

"Next, by collaborating with the Delusion Society and conducting mental manipulation, we will instill in all of humanity the collective subconscious belief that 'slavery never existed.'"

“Then we reconstruct the history of African immigrants in this new timeline: participating in the construction of Philadelphia as free craftsmen in 1724.”

Originally, Li Shanze admired Calvin Hope a little, thinking that even after becoming a time wizard, he still cared about his own race. After hearing this method, he became stunned.

"Isn't this just deceiving yourself?" Li Shanze asked in disbelief.

Sean deeply agreed with what Li Shanze said and nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, that's just self-deception!"

"Black people have suffered so much throughout history, and this bi**h wants to simply write it off, revising history as if these sufferings never existed!"

"He even confidently called it the ultimate salvation!"

"How ridiculous! As a time wizard, he can't even face the truth of history! This stupid ni***er!"

Sean cursed loudly in the interrogation room, using many words that cannot be broadcast on TV.

In Li Shanze's opinion, although this method sounds ridiculous, if you think about it carefully, this method of "putting aside facts" and just closing your eyes and chanting scriptures to perform cognitive operations is indeed very Democratic.

No wonder Senator Hamilton sees Calvin Hope as a tough opponent in the midterm elections.

Calvin Hope is good at chanting and has the added bonus of skin color. He is the most orthodox Democrat that cannot be more orthodox.

An angry police officer, Sean, then continued, "He recently acquired a strange RV, which is said to be helpful in achieving this goal."

RV, huh, after going around in circles, the RV that Charlie had her eye on was still in Calvin Hope's hands...

I don’t know what’s so amazing about this RV built by Bernd Benjamin.

Li Shanze calmly encouraged Officer Sean to continue with his eyes, thinking that maybe he could say something else.

Unfortunately, Officer Sean's understanding of RVs was very limited. He talked for a long time but couldn't explain what was special about this RV or what it was used for. He didn't even know where the RV was.

Most of the time, it was Officer Sean who was cursing at Calvin Hope.

When he was tired of scolding, he looked at Li Shanze: "Now, do you understand why I want to expose him?"

Hearing this, Li Shanze nodded: "Yes, I understand. You are worried that he will integrate the resources and then continue to move forward with this self-deceiving 'Reset 1619 Plan'."

"Right! That idiot Calvin has no idea how powerful emotions can be!"

"Look at the results of the virtual Saint Vivian's experiment. We can clearly use the suffering of black people and transform it into a source of power and capital!"

"We can clearly transform the suffering of black people into high-purity willpower by continuously activating the space-time scars of 1619!"

"We can follow the concept of the Time Bank and combine the 'Self-Realization Corridor', the sacred place of the Seething Sage, with the 'Paradox Clock Tower', the sacred place of the Time Corpse Brotherhood, to establish a 'Suffering Stock Exchange' to securitize incidents such as racial conflict and police violence into financial products!"

"Calvin Hope, this is a complete betrayal of our black people's 'pain capital'!"

Li Shanze finally understood that each of these people had unique skills.

Officer Sean is not dissatisfied with the forgetting of history at all; he simply wants to take advantage of the historical suffering of black people.

He intends to imitate the method used by the virtual saint Vivian to harvest willpower, create a "pain capital", and use the historical trauma of black people to harvest willpower.

Calvin Hope's desire to erase suffering through cognitive manipulation is tantamount to undermining the very foundation of Harry Sean's conception.

This was his fundamental purpose in trying to expose to Li Shanze that the arrested Calvin Hope was a puppet.

This is not only a struggle between different factions, but also a struggle of ideologies between the two.

The moment Calvin Hope's puppet was exposed, a large amount of media exposure was organized, which directly led to the social death of Calvin Hope's identity.

Li Shanze had felt before that this seemed a little too easy, and it seemed easy to defeat Calvin Hope.

It now seems that Harry Sean and the faction he represents have made considerable contributions behind the scenes.

Thinking of the faction behind him, Li Shanze asked, "Which branch of Yongsheng Technology are you from? New York?"

"New York?" Sean's eyes seemed a little strange. "No, I'm from the Miami branch."

Isn't it New York?

Li Shanze didn't know what was going on with Sean's weird look.

He recalled what he had said, and it seemed that there was no word other than New York that could cause Sean to have such a strange reaction.

What happened to New York?

Li Shanze thought in confusion.

While Li Shanze was daydreaming, Kate asked, "Are all the men in black like you from the Miami branch?"

"No, not really. There are also some in the New York branch." Sean glanced at Li Shanze and replied.

Li Shanze couldn't help but ask, "What happened to New York? Why do you look at me weirdly every time you mention New York?"

Author's words: Thanks to Polar Bear and book friend 30600563 for the recommendation votes

151 The mastermind behind this?

Sean was stunned when he heard Li Shanze's question.

He looked at Li Shanze, then at Charlie and Kate, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Shanze was confused and slammed the table. "What's going on? Answer my question."

"Well, about Eternal Life Technology New York, that's the first branch of Eternal Life Technology and also the headquarters of Eternal Life Technology..." Sean chose his words carefully and went around in circles.

Li Shanze became increasingly impatient. He shouted, "Stop beating around the bush and tell the truth!"

Under Li Shanze's urging, Sean put on a wry smile.

He chose his words carefully and said, "Well, this is it. You and your wife, Ms. Alessia Li, are important partners of Eternal Life Technology. She just yesterday told us field staff to show you enough respect..."

How could this have anything to do with me? Alessia was actually a partner at Eternal Life Technology?

Li Shanze opened his mouth in surprise.

If Sean's words only surprised Li Shanze, then the sudden sharp gazes from Charlie and Kate put a lot of pressure on Li Shanze.

Li Shanze suddenly understood Sean's previous roundabout ways and evasion.

His subtext is simply: You are a man of great courage to ask me to mention your wife in front of your lover.

Considering that Li Shanze has not yet revealed Alessia's true identity to Charlie and Kate, Li Shanze can only choose to stabilize them first.

"Hmph, what's the point of saying this now? I'm going to New York to divorce her next." Li Shanze sneered.

Then the tangible pressure from the ladies' gazes disappeared.

Charlie's eyes softened, while Kate's looked somewhat resentful.

Sean shuddered.

What did I hear? Damn it, why didn't I keep my mouth shut?

Don’t involve a pathetic little person like me in your own fight between you two!

Sean's heart was filled with grief.

There is no doubt that Li Shanze's light coughing could cause the space spell that Sean was proud of to backfire, which left a deep impression on Sean.

This is too terrifying, even a great wizard of the space system cannot do it so easily!

In his heart, Sean held Li Shanze's status in an extremely high esteem.

However, on the way to the Philadelphia Police Department, he was still wondering why Li Shanze, an extremely powerful wizard, was unwilling to use his magic.

Could it be that this guy just happened to possess some ability that could counter witchcraft?

Although I had heard some outrageous rumors before, it was said that the great wizard McGee of the Time Skeleton Brotherhood had suffered a great loss at the hands of Li Shanze, and now his life or death was unknown, and there was no news at all.

But Sean didn't take the rumors completely seriously.

So Sean tentatively broke free from the shackles. He wanted to see if Li Shanze could still counterattack if he released a series of witchcraft.

However, when Li Shanze instructed Xia Li to freeze the road and let the truck slide away, Sean suddenly realized it. He thought he had finally found the answer.

Isn’t this just the big guy playing with the girl?

Since the boss doesn't want to reveal his identity, Sean naturally has to accompany him to his heart's content, lest the boss suddenly turn against him.

After Li Shanze countered Sean's space spell, the backlash from the witchcraft left Sean with many internal injuries. Sean was afraid that Li Shanze would turn against him and give him a hard time.

At this moment, Sean regretted that he had struggled to break free from the shackles. Fortunately, Li Shanze seemed to be in a good mood and only pointed an ordinary pistol at him.

Then, Sean tried to put on an act, but after being taught a lesson by Li Shanze, he started to speak his mind obediently.

But unexpectedly, Li Shanze's entry point was the existential crisis of wizards - the same words, spoken by a mortal Muggle and by a "big boss" who could interrupt witchcraft with a light cough, naturally have different weight.
