Chapter 1037 Unexpected Disaster

Smith Zhou completely relied on his own preference to directly present the unspeakable truth behind this world-shaking disaster in front of everyone. But facing such a truth, everyone who saw what he said fell into unimaginable chaos.

Some people couldn't believe what he said, and completely regarded it as a lie to confuse the public. And this also caused them to have great hostility towards the existence of Smith Zhou.

And some people believed his words, which made them emotional about the government's explanation. They felt that they had been cheated, so they began to attack the government. In this kind of attack, various museums have become their first targets of venting.

Compared with ancient historical relics and precious classics, the safety of one's own life is the issue that everyone cares more about. If the lives of yourself and your family are threatened because of some cultural relics collections that have nothing to do with you, then no matter what the origin of this cultural relic is or how valuable it is, it is absolutely not allowed to exist.

It can be said that since Smith Zhou said those words on the talk show, the United States, Europe, and various museums with a long history have been under pressure from different aspects. There are demonstrations organized by the people, orders from the big companies behind them, and pressure from the government. These pressures are unbearable for any museum. Under such pressure, the museum had no choice but to return these cultural relics to their origins one after another.

However, they are willing to send it, but people in the countries where it originated may not be willing to accept it. Apart from China, which never refuses anyone, only Egypt has expressed a willingness to accept these returned cultural relics with a limited attitude. As for those cultural relics that cross between European and American countries, they are completely caught in a state of wrangling.

It would be okay if there were only some mysterious art paintings, those cultural relics in themselves, or all kinds of religious things, were completely rejected.

This kind of wrangling between each other not only makes the collection world chaotic, but also makes the people of all countries full of hostility. But as the instigator of everything, Smith Zhou disappeared without a trace without anyone knowing.

Of course, it cannot be said to be invisible. Because if he really wanted, the Skyhammer Bureau could still contact him. At the same time, other people can also find him, such as Alexia. Another example is Hydra Captain Steve Rogers.

In a small town in North India, Steve Rogers is sitting on a street bench.

He was well dressed and held a thick book in his hand. In this generally dirty town of lower-caste Indians, he looked so ostentatious. But he just seemed to be at ease,

There is no worry of being seen through his identity at all.

Of course he doesn't need to worry about anything. Because this is a place that is almost impossible to monitor with modern technology. No one will pay attention to this poor, backward and conservative place. Not to mention the agents of Skyhammer Bureau, even the omnics that have been promoted all over the world, under its conservative and superstitious atmosphere, it is difficult to intervene in one step.

Staying in this place, as long as you don't make too much noise, it is basically impossible to be discovered. And Steve came here just for a meeting, so naturally he couldn't make any big noises.

It was almost early in the morning, and he was sitting here. In the middle, he dismissed a group of begging children, a few half-grown youths who were idle and wanted to steal things, and a group of men who babbled at you to sell useless products. It wasn't until the sun was high and it was close to noon that Smith Zhou walked over leisurely, and then sat down beside him.

"You are late. Compared with the appointment time, you are two hours late!"

When he said this, the expression on Steve's face didn't fluctuate much, but Smith Zhou could still understand the sullenness in his words. That made him grin, and he explained to Steve as he put his arm around Steve's shoulders.

"You know, as long as I want to come here, I can come here in just a moment. And since I didn't show up on time, it can only explain one problem, that is, I was held back by something."

"Are you going to be held back?" Steve's voice rose visibly when he asked. Obviously, he didn't believe Smith Zhou's explanation. "Did you meet Zhou Yi? Or did you see Mephisto who came back from the dead and was forced to chat with him for a while?"

"Please, your words are so mean!"

Although he was being ridiculed, the smile on Smith Zhou's face did not change in any way. He looked at the group of sallow, skinny, old-fashioned ordinary Indians who were almost refugees, and then pointed at their complacent expressions and smiled at Steve.

"You know? The people in this country are very interesting. If you are serious, it should be the only country in the world with obvious class divisions. I came here more than a thousand years ago, and here is what it looks like. Thousands of years later, I came here again, and it’s still the same. It hasn’t changed at all, including the way the people here make people feel. Do you know what that means?”

"What does this mean? Is there a necessary connection with you when you are late?"

Steve asked rhetorically like this, but Smith Zhou smiled slightly in the face of his rhetorical question, and continued.

"Well. I'll tell you an interesting story, and something I saw on the road. When I was eating with Alexia yesterday, I gave one of the skinny kids who looked like they just came of age a bill as a tip .I wanted to give him another one this morning, but I didn’t see the kid this morning. I thought he had changed shifts or something. But the waiter next to me gave me such an answer.”

"They call that kid the lucky kid and gossip about it because I gave him a bill for a tip. He doesn't have to work here and he can go and have a good time. Seriously Yes, I wonder, I didn't write him a check worth millions. Then a depreciated hundred-dollar bill, in any developed city, is at most two or three hours of hard work. Is it necessary to be as outrageous as they say?"

"With this kind of curiosity, and because the appointment time with you was still early, I stopped by to see the child's situation. Just like what the waiters said, he is really enjoying himself. He is as happy as life. Playing cricket and picking up girls. You may not be able to imagine that he spent a million dollars on a hundred-dollar bill. It can even be said that many millionaires are probably not like him. comfortable."

"Does this explain anything?" Frowning, Steve asked Smith Zhou like this. He didn't understand what Smith Zhou said just now. As for his doubts, Smith Zhou just patted him on the shoulder, and then spoke to him seriously.

"It shows that this young man is very content with his life. And he is actually just a microcosm of this country. You may not believe it, but I want to tell you that Indians like this young man who are willing to enjoy themselves in a timely manner occupy a huge ratio."

"They rarely want to think about anything else, whether it's the future or whatever, it's too far away for them. They only care about the present, they only want to enjoy the moment. And at this point, Indians can be said to be I have reached the limit. Not everyone can hold a hundred-dollar bill and live a life as splendid as owning millions. For them, even if tomorrow is the deepest hell, today as long as I can If you live happily, then everything is fine. As for tomorrow, it is naturally something that needs to be considered tomorrow.”

"What do you think, such an attitude is for the entire human race?"

"horrible!"

Smith Zhou just asked, and Steve immediately gave his answer. And his answer obviously couldn't be just these two words. So soon, he added.

"I think it's a mind numbness, a state that's almost as scary as being on too many drugs. There's nothing wrong with optimism, but like you said, you don't even think about tomorrow, which is a little farther away, and you only think about it. Carpe diem, then this is the biggest mistake. You don’t even think about your own future, what is the difference between a human being and a beast. Just because of a little profit, you can leave the job that guarantees your life. Is this stupid? Or mental ignorance?"

"It can be said that just based on your description, I can think of this child's future. He must have no future at all. Because he doesn't have such a thing in his own eyes. It is like this today, and he will still be in the future. Like this. Even in the past few decades, I am afraid that he will still have nothing. And if such an attitude towards life appears in the entire human being, then I can only say that human beings may not be too far away from extinction !"

"You're right!" Nodding, Smith Zhou agreed with Steve's analysis. And so he asked. "Then do you know what caused this result?"

Before Steve could give an answer, Smith Zhou had already said it on his own.

"Let me tell you, it's all because of religion. When I came here more than a thousand years ago, it was still under the rule of the Kushan Kingdom. And when I came back more than a thousand years later, it was over. Colonial rule has entered a new era. Although it looks like this on the surface, for me, there are only two things that have not changed!"

"One is the person I just told you about. The other is the religion here!"
