Chapter 658: Chapter 26 Causal Cursed Object

Alex and Dai Lin were riding bicycles on the streets of Washington, D.C.

The reason they could arrive here so quickly without the aid of transportation was thanks to Dai Lin’s space transfer cursed object.

Upon arriving, they saw movie posters for "Kaiju" everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"This is a Hollywood blockbuster where half of the cast is of Asian descent," Alex said, unable to hide his excitement as he looked at his hard work, "This script could be made into a film, all thanks to the huge potential of the Chinese film market."

"What’s the movie about?" Dai Lin asked curiously.

"The protagonist is a mixed-race descendant of a Chinese gold miner and a local white person from the end of the 19th century. However, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act, the protagonist’s family suffered unjust treatment, and his parents died one after another."

"The end of the 19th century? But the movie poster has a space battleship on it?"

"That’s where the time-travel element comes in. At that point, aliens come to Earth in search of fighters with potential, and they choose the protagonist. The aliens don’t care if someone is white or of color; they only judge on genuine talent and potential for becoming an excellent cosmic fighter. The chosen ones get to leave Earth for training in space and receive a long lifespan through a genetic potion."

"It kinda sounds like Marvel’s ’Guardians of the Galaxy’..." Dai Lin really wanted to criticize, if people can travel the universe and operate space battleships, why is there a need to select fighters?

"The selected heroes of the universe can participate in the cosmic professional fighting competition, and the winner will receive the highest championship belt in the universe. The protagonist’s ring name as a professional fighter is Kaiju, and ultimately, he claims the cosmic fighting crown with his strength... and the runner-up is a close friend, a black competitor."

Dai Lin was at a loss for words... Political correctness, though late, arrives!

"Look, Dr. Dai, there is the statue of Martin Luther King!"

At this moment, Alex seemed to forget the curse he’d been afflicted with.

"On August 28th, 1963, Father King delivered the ’I Have a Dream’ speech at the Lincoln Memorial. My father was just a child then, but he listened to the entire speech!"

Then, Alex loudly recited in English, "I have a dream! I dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I dream that one day, even the state of Mississippi, a desert state sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I dream that one day in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together."

Alex looked at the statue of Father King as if on a pilgrimage.

"Dr. Dai, let me make it clear, the film script I wrote is not for political correctness. My father was heartbroken when Father King was assassinated. From my childhood, he always admonished me that the founding spirit of the United States should be that all men are created equal, judged by their virtues and not by skin color or race. That is why I admire Bruce Lee; I also love Michael Jackson, Elvis, and John Lennon. In my movies, regardless of skin color or race, everyone is equal in the arena of cosmic fighting."

So is he meeting Melody by the Lincoln Memorial? At the place where Martin Luther King delivered that famous speech?

Dai Lin couldn’t help but admire Alex.

"Then let’s go. Let’s see if we can meet Melody."

As dusk approached.

In front of the Lincoln Memorial.

Dai Lin and Alex had arrived in front of the statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Clovey and Ralph were guarding nearby.

"It’s quite surprising that nothing has happened?" Dai Lin was astonished. How could it be so calm now that they were in Washington?

Or could it be...

This was the calm before the storm?

Dai Lin was ready to act at a moment’s notice. Anything could happen now; they couldn’t afford to be careless.

Where might the curse rear its ugly head?

Finally... as time passed.

A car appeared before them.

"Hm?"

A car?

"The car?"

"Melody!"

Alex immediately pointed to the car, his excitement palpable: "It’s her!"

But what Dai Lin noticed on the car was...

Natsume Bandove.

At that moment, in the car.

Natsume Bandove had just woken up.

Bandove had a very long dream.

But upon waking, her first thought was, why would she fall asleep?

Sleep in such a dangerous place?

Then she found herself seated in the back of the car.

Melias sat in the passenger seat.

The person driving...

Was Melody.

"You’re driving..."

"Yes, driving," Melody said nonchalantly, "We’re in D.C. now, the capital of the United States. Up ahead is the Lincoln Memorial. Maybe this time, I’d really get to meet Alex."

"Hmm..."

"What do you think of the United States?"

Melody’s question puzzled Natsume Bandove.

"When you think of America, what comes to mind first?"

"Superpower."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, and Hollywood, NBA, superheroes, and..."

"The land of the United States is a gift from God to us Anglo-Saxons. It is a promised land that belongs to us."

"Mom," Melias shook her head, "please stop."

"I’m telling you, nowadays when people talk about America, they most often associate it with how even Hollywood has to bow down to all kinds of political correctness."

"If it’s our promised land... why force different black people with dreadlocks, slant-eyed Asians, and fat homosexuals onto all our screens? We have to call the ugly beautiful, and call the disgusting correct..."

"My ancestors are from Atlanta... During the Civil War era, they were slave owners of the southern plantations. The Yankees started a ridiculous battle led by Lincoln to free the slaves, which is a joke. As for the Asians, those yellow monkeys weren’t even as good as the plantation slaves. But now, people of color are rising one after the other in the public discourse! They’re gaining privileges that put them above us white people."

Natsume Bandove replied coldly, "You should remember that I am also a person of color."

"Right, especially you... a bunch of filthy Japanese. Since America’s founding, except for that war with Canada, only you have reached our homeland. You deserved to be bombarded by atomic bombs into desolation, not surviving till today like this. It’s only natural that the world should be ruled by white people."

"So..."

"So..."

Melody stopped the car, opened the door, and stepped out.

Alex rushed over.

Just as Alex was about to reach Melody, she called out to him.

"Alex."

Alex looked at Melody before him.

And Dai Lin, who was behind Alex, was staring blankly at the scene before him.

Dr. Clovey and Dr. Ralph, however, were nowhere to be seen all of a sudden.

"Alex," Melody repeated, "finally, we meet."

But Alex took a step back.

"Who... who are you???"

At that moment, Melias suddenly opened the car door and yelled at Alex, "Alex, run!!"

"Mel..." Alex looked at Melias in surprise. "Melody, what are you saying?"

Melias was her nickname.

Her name was... Meldy Hillman Jr., like Robert Downey Jr.

The "Jr." stands for "Junior," and indicates "little," as Westerners often name their children after their parents.

But she never told Alex that her mother was also named "Melody," nor did she tell him her nickname was "Melias."

So, Alex had always called her "Melody."

"Run, Alex! Run!"

Dai Lin charged forward!

But at that moment, Melody... or rather, the elder Meldy Hillman, began to undergo a horrifying transformation.

This was a...

Ferocious Spirit!!!

Melias fainted instantly.

She remembered when she first came to 666 Hospital, she had seen a doctor named Natsume Heisuke.

"Doctor... My mother’s ghost has come back; she’s almost always clinging to me. She’s a true member of the KKK, and even in death, she can’t allow me to marry a boyfriend who has tattoos of Bruce Lee on his body. Please, can you stop my mother’s ghost from killing my boyfriend?"

"I’m researching a Causality Curse Object, but it’s not yet perfected. If this cursed object could work... it could make it impossible for two people to meet, like the Thousand-Mile Mother-Seeking Pill from Doraemon’s stories. But it’s still experimental..."

"I’ll do it!" Melias cried out. "I’m already pregnant with my boyfriend’s child! I can’t let him die!"

"Then let’s sign an agreement... an experimental agreement for the Causality Curse Object."
