In February 1938, after the Sino-US business negotiation delegation arrived in the United States, the ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in the US, with a dark expression, invited everyone to watch a movie. When a group of Asian faces appeared near the cinema, the Americans who had come to watch the movie cast unfriendly glances at this group of Chinese people. When everyone stopped in front of the movie poster, the expressions of the Chinese personnel also turned unpleasant.

Everyone was very familiar with the portrait in the center of this poster; it was a caricature of Chen Ke. Chen Ke had a square face, a high forehead, a high nose bridge, and very large eyes. Even if he couldn't be called handsome, he was definitely full of vitality. The portrait on the poster closely resembled Chen Ke's appearance, but the vitality had turned into a sinister air. The chemical experiment instruments such as test tubes and flasks in the background further hinted at something. The Chinese upper echelon all knew that Chen Ke was a scientist with a very broad professional coverage, especially with profound attainments in chemistry. The movie title on the poster was "Sherlock Holmes vs. Dr. Fu Manchu".

A group of Chinese People's Party members entered the cinema with heavy anger. The movie content was the same old stuff. In this era, short hair was not yet a popular hairstyle. Chen Ke's hairstyle had always been a crew cut of more than one centimeter or a buzz cut of six millimeters since the revolution. In the movie, the image of Fu Manchu also lacked a braid, but instead had Chen Ke's buzz cut hairstyle. Not only that, but the actor's makeup also tried its best to lean towards Chen Ke's appearance.

After watching it, the Chinese personnel were all furious. The intentions behind the United States filming such a movie did not need further discussion. This movie was a box office hit in the United States and also had a good market in Europe. Dr. Fu Manchu's image was stereotypical and ugly, known as "the most evil Asian in history". Regarded by the West as the personification of the Yellow Peril, he was an excellent symbol of Chinese treachery and cunning. This character image was also seen as a typical "Oriental villain image" in the "concept of insulting China".

Since it involved such a public attack on Chen Ke, the relevant information was immediately sent back to China. After reading the news, Chen Ke was neither angry nor disgusted; he actually laughed out loud. The secretary was frightened; what was Chen Ke planning to do?

Soon, Chen Ke met with Zhou Shuren and several other famous writers in Zhengzhou. Having read so many web novels, Chen Ke absolutely did not lack various ideas; what he needed were professional collaborators.

The Chinese film industry had been quite prosperous in recent years. Borrowing some big-nosed white special type actors from the Soviet Union, the movie started filming in an extremely short time. In September 1938, the first part of China's color movie "Legend of Maoshan Demon Slayer" had finished filming and began editing. It was released in China in November.

Many years later, when the first part of "Legend of Maoshan Demon Slayer" was rebroadcast, it could always get good box office results. Film critics believed that this was a great work that created many industry firsts, and its special effects were still commendable even in the 21st century. Of course, this film was banned in the Yin Country for over a hundred years, but European audiences liked it very much.

As soon as the movie opened, there were a few lines in different voices.

"With the skin of Indians, high-quality long boots can be made!"

"The Yin Country must exterminate the Indians!"

"Kill one Indian every ten minutes!"

"Only dead Indians are good Indians!"

The opening was a scene full of gore. First, snow-white teeth in lips, then a pair of iron pliers clamped a tooth and forcibly pulled it out from the gum. Blood sprayed from the gum. The camera zoomed out, and a black man was firmly tied to a wooden stake resembling a cross. The one pulling the black man's teeth was a werewolf. He carefully observed the tooth, then washed it with water and placed it on a tray. There were already many such teeth on these trays. The screams of the black men mixed with the gloomy music created a hellish sound, heavy enough to make one shudder.

The camera zoomed out further. In the center of a gloomy manor, more black men were tied to numerous wooden stakes. One by one, they assumed the pose of Jesus Christ on the cross, their entire bodies forming a cross shape. The centers of their palms were pierced by iron nails, nailing them to the crosses, with blood dripping from their palms and bodies. The black men twisted and screamed in pain, the whole scene like hell.

Werewolves non-stop used iron pliers to pull teeth from the black men's mouths; some were kept, some were thrown away. Finally, the selected teeth filled a tray and were sent into the main hall of the manor. The appearances of the servants in the main hall were more diverse, including werewolves, vampires, ghouls, and liches. Many young girls were tied to the pillars in the main hall. Some metal tubes deeply pierced into the girls' chests. When the wooden plugs at the mouths of the metal tubes were pulled out, bright red blood flowed out from the tube mouths and into exquisite glass bottles for holding blood. The servants carried these bottles and respectfully presented the full bottles to the two masters on the main seats.

The two masters wore suits, but they were guys with the faces of a werewolf and a ghoul. The werewolf was naturally Washington, and the ghoul was Jefferson. The two injected the girls' fresh blood from the glass bottles into silver cups with residual bright red liquid at the bottom, and continued to drink while chatting.

After a while, a huge bat suddenly flew into the room. After circling the room once, it pounced towards the ground. A puff of white mist rose from the bat's impact point, and then a figure emerged in the white mist. That was naturally Lincoln.

"Why hasn't Theodore arrived yet?" Lincoln raised a cup of fresh blood and drained it in one gulp, then asked.

"He has something to do and can't come for the time being," the werewolf Washington said in a vague voice, then opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of fangs. On each tooth, there were runes composed of extremely fine black textures. The werewolf Washington suddenly shook his head vigorously, and the fur on his face twisted wantonly like dough. In the dazzling changes, Washington's head finally stopped shaking, and the werewolf's head actually turned into the appearance of an ordinary person. Washington opened his mouth again; there was actually not a single tooth in his mouth. He selected the teeth he was satisfied with from the tray and installed these teeth taken from the black men's mouths into his own mouth one by one.

The vampire Lincoln turned a blind eye to Washington's affectations beside him. He said to Jefferson, "We must use the Philosopher's Stone to revive the Cherry Tree. To refine the Philosopher's Stone requires more lives. Killing all the Indians is not enough in number; more fresh blood is needed for the sacrifice."

The ghoul Jefferson's face was shrouded in black energy. He said in a gloomy and cold voice, "What do I need to do?"

"We need to establish a new country, let them give birth and multiply. Finally, through a large-scale alchemy blood sacrifice, refine hundreds of millions of Yin Country people together into the Philosopher's Stone," Lincoln said slowly.

"Oh..." Jefferson stared at Lincoln and replied.

Lincoln took off his stovepipe hat and placed it on the table. Bright alchemy patterns appeared on the black top hat, and then a map of Luzhou appeared entirely above the hat. Thin lines formed a complex alchemy array covering the entire Luzhou on the map. "This is the result of Theodore's research."

Washington and Jefferson leaned over to the alchemy array. Lincoln pointed at the alchemy array and said, "Those key points must be engraved with the Blood Seal using the hatred blood of a large number of dead people. There must be cruel wars and cruel massacres in these places. Jefferson, I need you to write a constitution, deliberately leaving loopholes in it. Let the Yin Country's south begin slavery. Wait until decades or a century later, and we will use this loophole to launch a war. By then, there will be enough fresh blood to irrigate these lands."

Jefferson laughed arrogantly. The gloomy black energy made Jefferson's face look extremely ferocious, yet it had a kind of condescending oppressive feeling. Jefferson replied, "I will handle this matter in Philadelphia."

Then the picture unfolded with this large map of the National Transmutation Circle as the background. In order to carve every Blood Seal on this large map, the monsters led the Yin Country to launch the War of Independence, "purchase" Louisiana, the Civil War, and the Westward Movement. All of this was slaughter carried out according to the route planned by the three monsters who had already appeared and "Alchemist Theodore" who only showed a gloomy back view. Every place the finger pointed to, a massacre appeared. The Indians were driven into the alchemy array and refined into bright red stones. And these bright red stones were taken to the center of the alchemy array, where there was a stone coffin carved with beautiful tree patterns.

Running through the Yin Country's alchemy array was the Yin Country's great railway. "Every sleeper must bury a wronged soul!" Alchemist Theodore's gloomy voice echoed over Luzhou. The four big figures of the Yin Country and the children, grandchildren, and disciples of that gang of monsters under them controlled the Yin Country and cruelly implemented bloody policies. The scene changed, and the camera sank from the Yin Country's railway to beneath it, where the corpses of Indians and black people were densely arranged. How long the railways that made up the alchemy array were, that was how many bones and wronged souls were underneath.

"We need more blood!" The background was the howling of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore.

The Chinese audience had never seen such a movie. The grand scenes and the huge conspiracy set against the background of a country and the Americas gave the audience a feeling of watching a historical film. Of course, most of the audience had received junior high or even high school education. Many people recalled the records in history books; apart from this magical background, the historical events actually belonged to real content. So when the part about Chinese people taking boats to the Yin Country to make a living began, the audience had already accumulated huge expectations and worries in their hearts.

The Chinese laborers in the Yin Country were mainly building railways. Among them was a Maoshan Taoist priest with the Taoist name "Fangshi". After arriving in the Yin Country, "Fangshi" felt that something was wrong. It seemed as if countless humans were squirming underground; this feeling made Fangshi feel uncomfortable all over.

The boss of the Yin Country railway engineering team that Fangshi and the others joined was a low-level vampire descendant. Besides sucking blood, he also liked to eat human flesh. Many Chinese laborers were eaten by this guy. Fangshi finally discovered the clue, and he finally used Maoshan Taoist magic to get rid of this vampire. This news alarmed the werewolves, vampires, and ghouls controlling the Yin Country. They immediately arrested and killed Chinese people.

Facing such a dangerous situation, Fangshi did not choose to run away. The railway built by the Chinese laborers had already completed the Yin Country's National Transmutation Circle. If the Yin Country's National Transmutation Circle could not be destroyed within seven days, all humans in Luzhou would be refined into "Philosopher's Stones".

"Even if there is only one Chinese person in Luzhou, I will destroy this alchemy array," Fangshi said to his companions. Some companions chose to withdraw and leave the Yin Country. Some bravely followed Fangshi to launch an attack on evil. With the help of a Yin Country beauty who realized something was wrong, and Yin Country black people and white hooligans who were muddle-headed but desperate, the extremely few brave ones fought their way to the evil heartland of the Yin Country.

Along the way, everyone killed ghosts when meeting ghosts and demons when seeing demons. Black people, Yin Country white hooligans, and even Chinese companions fell one by one. On the way, they temporarily joined hands with the Church, which was trying to vie for power in the Yin Country. However, the Church, which they thought they could rely on, had actually betrayed their God long ago and defected to the side of the evil forces. The Archbishop first performed a divine descent ritual, but sealed God with black dog blood and an unholy rune sword just as God was about to descend.

The Archbishop, who originally looked a bit holy, revealed his dark and evil true colors. He looked triumphantly at the polluted God on the altar and said triumphantly, "This rune is a rune carved on Washington's teeth. Even Satan's curse is far less evil."

Fangshi, who was injured and captured after being ambushed by the Church, said angrily, "Why do you want to do this?!"

"Because we truly like playing with men's, men's bodies! If not for this, why believe in God? Why be a priest?!" The Archbishop revealed a lewd and intoxicated smile on his face, "What we church personnel love especially is playing with the bodies of little boys! That flesh, that pure soul, those tears and fears, too delicious!"

At this critical moment, the Yin Country beauty transformed! Sharp claws like a leopard's grew on her hands and feet. First, she finished off those few priests holding Fangshi down. The two worked together to finish off the Archbishop and others, releasing the imprisoned God.

God looked ashamed, muttering "Unexpected! Unexpected!..." in his mouth. Abandoning Fangshi and the heavily injured Yin Country beauty, he just disappeared from the altar like that.

On the verge of death, the Yin Country beauty finally recounted her background. She had the bloodline of the werewolf Washington. Once, when Washington was slaughtering Indians, he raped the Saintess of the Indian tribe. The Saintess of the Indian tribe understood the laws of nature, so she transformed into a leopard woman and escaped. Thus, a part of the werewolf bloodline was passed down in this way. These descendants wanted revenge but had no way. After meeting Fangshi, the Yin Country beauty finally found someone she could rely on, so she stepped forward.

While dying, the Yin Country beauty stuffed the Indian tribe's sacred artifact "Eye of Truth" into Fangshi's arms, and carefully helped Fangshi tidy up his clothes. Before passing away, the Yin Country beauty whispered in Fangshi's ear, "Find Cherry... Green..."

"I will save you!" Fangshi prepared to cast a spell, his face covered in tears.

The Yin Country beauty held down Fangshi's hand, "Save your strength for revenge! ...Fangshi, I like you..." Then her fragrance vanished and her jade perished.

Fangshi, now alone, burned the church with a fire. The background was the soaring flames, and the Yin Country beauty quietly lying in the flames. Set off by this splendid background, Fangshi's resolute face and eyes full of anger deeply moved countless female viewers watching the movie.

In the evil heartland of the Yin Country, which was also the core area of the National Transmutation Circle. With the help of the Eye of Truth, Fangshi saw through this place that seemed to be full of beautiful mountains and clear waters. In reality, it was a living hell covered by an illusion. Countless broken human bodies twisted in the burning of hellfire, emitting miserable wails.

Amidst the huge roar of the beating heart, in this dark world, the movement of hell echoed:

Scream, groan, the endless darkness of hell~ Spirits, monsters, and demons. Holding severed heads waiting for your visit~ Go down, go down, humans, fall quickly...

Go down, go down, the endless darkness of hell~ Burning fire, drowning water. Begging to live but cannot. Begging to die but cannot~ Humans~ Fall quickly...

Fall to the bottom of hell. Listen~ Those who fell into darkness begin to chant, in the pool of blood, in the sea of fire. On the mountain of needles...

At the moment when he seemed about to be swallowed by this darkness, the "Eye of Truth" blossomed with bright light, illuminating a rugged path. Stepping on blood and gore, Fangshi broke through the outer zone of the Yin Country's evil heartland. Climbing to the top of a high mountain made of human corpses and lava, he opened a small door. Fangshi broke into the center of the Yin Country's evil heartland.

In the center of the evil heartland, however, was a world like a pure land. Werewolf Washington, Ghoul Jefferson, Vampire Lincoln, and the Lich who had not shown his true face before—"Alchemist" Theodore Roosevelt—were also with them.

"Do you think you can stop us?" This gang of evil monsters, who always appeared with changed appearances after faking death, finally revealed their true colors. "Haven't you seen that we have always been by your side?"

These guys triumphantly displayed their transformations one by one. Fangshi discovered that he had seen these people all along his journey, and some transformations had even infiltrated Fangshi's demon-slaying squad and "sacrificed" themselves on the way.

Looking at the stunned Fangshi, the monsters laughed triumphantly, "Soon this world will belong to us! We will obtain eternal life and power! The reason we let you come is just that we want someone to witness our achievements with their own eyes! After we succeed, we will use your blood as the wine to celebrate our victory!"

The monsters' powerful strength was indeed not something Fangshi could oppose alone. In the Latin aria chanting music of "Sephiroth" that Chen Ke plagiarized, which had a very European style, Fangshi unfolded a battle with the four monsters. Although he could hold his own one-on-one, or even one-on-two, one-on-four was too forced. Fangshi was beaten to the ground.

In the critical moment, Fangshi used the "Eye of Truth" again. Past scenes appeared before Fangshi's eyes. It turned out that the name Cherry Green translated into Chinese was "Cherry Tree Green", a Norse witch with powerful power. She was tricked into visiting Luzhou by Washington's father.

Washington's father tried to seduce this powerful witch. Once the witch was pregnant with his child, Washington's father could refine the witch, the child, and his evil soul together, refining them into a trinity of immortal existence. From then on, he would become a great demon, immortal and with boundless mana.

Washington discovered his father's plan and tried to seduce the witch. Father and son fought over this woman, and Washington lost. After the defeat, Washington, with the thought "Since I can't have her, no one else can", ambushed the witch and cut off her head with the axe the witch used to chop wood.

Washington's furious father saw the witch's corpse and gathered the Washington family werewolf clan. First, he angrily asked in a pretentiously manner: "Who chopped Cherry Green!" He clearly wanted to finish off Washington.

But after seeing Washington holding the axe that killed the witch and stepping forward to admit he did it, Washington's father turned anger into a smile, praising Washington for being honest and responsible. He even gave Washington a few precious gifts.

Washington secretly followed his father and heard his father talking about this with his mother. Washington's mother wondered why Washington's father let Washington go. Washington's father said that this axe possessed powerful power and could slay demons. Seeing that Washington was in a posture of risking his life with the axe, naturally, a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him.

After obtaining the precious intelligence, Washington found an opportunity to ambush his father and became the leader of the werewolf clan with the help of the axe's divine power. Then he befriended existences like Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. They prepared to use the National Transmutation Circle to refine the Philosopher's Stone to revive the Norse witch. According to his father's method, they would implement the trinity spell and finally become immortal existences.

Seeing through the enemy's weakness, Fangshi pulled up the axe on the ground from before "Cherry Green's" coffin in the center of the National Transmutation Circle in the Yin Country's evil heartland and beheaded the four demons. Amidst the roar of "I will be back", the heart of the evil Yin Country turned into a huge mountain peak, and four people's statues appeared on the mountain peak.

Without explaining Fangshi's ending again, the movie directly changed to another scene. The Yin Country Congress discussed and passed the "Chinese Exclusion Act", and angry members participated in the voting. The faces of those members constantly switched between various monsters and human faces, and the palms exposed outside their sleeves also changed non-stop between human hands and beast claws.

With an extremely dark style, this film came to a close.

For Chen Ke, who had seen so many fantasy movies, blockbusters, and high-tech computer films, he actually didn't think much of the special effects of this film. But in 1938, such effects were already shocking to the world. Sichuan opera face-changing actors and electronic engineers of various sound and light effects had done their best.

In the decades that followed, the special effects of this kind of movie were repeatedly studied and used. And many settings created by this movie were also the objects of imitation and plagiarism by many latecomers.

The Chinese audience saw an extremely exciting movie, while the anger of the Americans, especially the American upper class, after watching this movie can be imagined. This movie became a banned film in 1938 and was banned for over a hundred years.
