There's someone called the Lingji monk in the game and he's headless; apparently he's headless because the head of the real statue of the Lingji monk is in the British museum.

EDIT: I looked up the video of his character on youtube and Chinese people are making jokes such as 'he learned English in the British museum', lol

    Lol fuck the Brits we need to assemble a coalition of the willing to strip the British Museum to the floor boards then cut the roof of the building so god can see the shameful poverty of all Britain's beautiful things. God will look down at the treasures of the British, those beautiful floor boards, laid with care, and his laughter will flatten the mountains.

        We can ship the cool parts to Greece and use it to repair the Parthenon.

          You could legitimately detach this from the front of the building and you wouldn't recognise it anymore because the rest of the building viewed from other sides is a totally unmemorable box

        With all beautiful pieces of british architecture used for evil (this, buckingham palace, etc) I always have the same solution: turn them into permanent residences for refugees

            Well no you could put grocers and laundries and stuff in there, too. It doesn't have to be just flats, we support mixed light commercial zoning here!

              Eh.... Waste of amazing architecture. It should remain a cultural zone for anyone to be able to visit.

                It'll become a row of rich peoples condos anyway once the Brits choke down their next couple waves of austerity and the museum goes bankrupt.

                The artifacts will stay of course as part of the condos.

            know that my policies come only from contempt for the british and nothing else, the british do not deserve sites of so called cultural heritage, when the heritage of britain is imperialist murder, one of if not the most evil countries to ever exist

      Even the floorboards tell a story. Britain used to be covered with old growth, beautiful forests that held sacred significance to celts and local people.

      Colonization and the hunger for conquest meant that these would be cut down for lumber and shipmaking.

        This is me at one percent of my power. My master (the dog from that Wishbone show from the 90s) placed me under and oath that I would never reveal my true abilities unless like, idk, Galactus shows up or I need to convince the utilities company to waive the reconnection fee after my water gets shut off.
