Volume 1 Meaning Text 002 A Girl in a Black Dress
743x 12.1 in Monan
At noon, Qian was taken to the No. 2 Prison in Nangaocheng.
Because of the ultra-rapid development of science and technology, the prison has also adapted to the times, using an intelligent monitoring system, and even if there is no need for human guards, even if someone wants to escape from it, they will be immediately controlled by the prison organs and cannot move.
All prisoners know when they are in prison that they cannot escape without proof of their innocence. As a result, prison escapes rarely happen. If they don't try their best to escape, then there is only one result waiting for them, that is, they will definitely be trapped by the mechanism, or worse, even if they have to suffer physical torture.
After all, machines are ruthless compared to human guards decades ago, and they don't notice your pain or even know if you'll be able to withstand some kind of punishment.
From the machine's point of view, as long as the line is crossed, it must be evil, and evil must be punished. Because of such sophisticated control measures, the prison is relatively harmonious, and each prisoner has his own room. In addition to the breaks, everyone was able to go into the hall and talk to each other. It's like the club of a few years ago, but the difference is that it's not fun that awaits them, it's bliss.
Everyone has a small room of about 20 square meters, and all daily necessities are fully equipped. There are even communication devices available inside.
However, the content of the communication will definitely be monitored, and in the same way, it is the machine that does the monitoring work, which can intelligently identify whether the offender is communicating illegal content. Of course, if it's a code, it should be difficult to tell. However, it is not absolute. It is said that people who enter the interior rarely use communication equipment, and even if they do, there are very few violations.
Qian looked around, looked at the fully equipped daily necessities, and couldn't help but think: even this prison is much better than the place where I lived before.
Despite this, Qian didn't sigh anything, he seemed to be so numb that he didn't want to care about this kind of thing, or he knew that he would die soon, and he was in no mood to sigh.
Sitting quietly at the table in his cell, he seemed to be able to completely relax at this time, and his hands that were clutching the scarlet book were also stretched, turning the book on the table, and reading every word in the book seriously.
The book is still only on the first page, this page mainly introduces the origin of religion, religion was founded 3,000 years ago, so far, according to statistics, there are already 1 billion believers, and there are still about 15 million existing congregations, accounting for 1/1000 of the world's population, that is to say, one person in every 1,000 people will be a devout believer of the Holy Religion.
Religion was named Holy Religion at the beginning of its origin, and Holy Religion is not a monotheistic religion like other religions, but a belief in three gods. They are the god of protection - Nuo, the god of punishment - Lan, and the god of wisdom - Kezheng.
According to the book, the god of protection, No, lived less than a day, and before he was born, he was promised by his father to sacrifice to the demon in exchange for the prosperity and stability of one party. After he was born, he had only an empty shell-like body, a head without senses, and the only thing that had heat was the heart inside the empty shell.
At that time, the lord was the highest authority of the tribe, and no one in the territory dared to disobey, which should be the peak of human power.
However, despite this, the midwife did not fully follow the lord's wishes. In order to alleviate her sins, the midwife wore a half-life cross pendant and placed it on the child's hollow and senseless head. Then, after placing Nozhi beside the reeds, he departed.
Although I want to save it, I don't know what to do when I see the child's appearance. Because people at that time believed that there were gods in the world, so, at this last moment, she gave the choice to God. Out of distrust of his own abilities, he felt that he could not save the child.
Later, Nou still died. In less than an hour after the midwife left, a bunch of black creatures in the river poured ashore and devoured the child's remaining body.
The name Nou was decided by his biological mother when he was just pregnant.
Later, the lord's prayer was fulfilled. Since Nuo's death, the entire territory has been in good weather and social stability, and the economic and technological level of the territory has also been unprecedentedly improved.
At that time, if other lords in the vicinity wanted to invade other lands, they would first ask the soothsayer if he was suitable for battle. Usually only with the affirmation of the soothsayer does the war begin.
However, after divining the territory protected by Nuo, the soothsayers of the surrounding territory felt that this place was strange and unsuitable for fighting in this land. As a result, the other surrounding lords chose to live in peace with the land.
Later, a few more years passed. As the territory grew richer and stronger, greed began to swell, and the lord forgot his original purpose and began to conquer the other tribes around him. In the end, No's father ruled the entire continent and continued the dynasty for 300 years, and the civilization on the continent was ahead of its time.
And the name Nuo was also spread soon after the reunification of the mainland. Everyone in the world said that it was Nuo who guarded the continent, but at that time, people had no sense of religion, so they simply went to worship.
Then, I talked about Arashijin.
The record in the book mentions that Lan Shen was a general during his lifetime, with 100,000 soldiers under his command, serving the Huang Empire at that time. Collect unlimited taxes on the people of their own territories, and then hand them over to enemy countries as funds for peace talks.
The entire territory of the Huang Empire is in danger of survival, but the emperor still does not know it.
Although Lan Shen repeatedly asked for orders to fight the enemy, the emperor was afraid that after the defeat, the Huang Empire would be deprived even more.
The tens of thousands of cities of the ancestors are now less than a thousand. Finally, the empires, seeing that the Huang Kingdom was finally devoured, were ready to completely tear the Huang Kingdom apart. At this time, in the territory of the Huang Kingdom, large and small cities were in turmoil.
After seeing the predicament of the broken mountains and rivers and the destruction of the country, the original 100,000 soldiers in Lan Shen's hands walked and fled, and after a few months, the total number was less than 10,000.
At this time of 100,000 urgency, the monarch of Huang still chose not to fight, and Lan at this time could no longer bear it, swung his sword and cut off the emperor's head, and one person, beheaded the traitorous minister who had flattered in front of the monarch before. In less than half an hour, the entire palace was shrouded in blood, and a fierce blood wind swept through the large and small palaces.
Out of the palace, Arashimi immediately gathered all the troops in his hands and prepared to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. The enemy did not expect that when they were about to lick the aftertaste of the bones, they would encounter fierce resistance.
In an instant, he was caught off guard, and the invading army of the other country was crushed by Lan and his soldiers. In this battle, Lan only relied on 10,000 soldiers in his hands to annihilate nearly 100,000 enemy troops. At the same time, this war not only gave the enemy country a deterrent, but also gave the people in their own territory a double confidence.
Many aspirants began to return to the army, and the size of the army was unprecedented. Then, in order to recover the country, Lan Shen led his troops to fight east and west, not only recovering all the lost territory, but also destroying the previous few enemy countries that carved up his country.
From the moment he killed his monarch, the blood on Lan's sword had never been done, and he tried in vain to constantly punish all enemy and evil forces and treacherous people.
However, there are few victorious generals in this world, and during the conquest of the last empire, Arashijin was grazed by the enemy's poisonous arrows, and the poison quickly spread all over his body, fell under his horse, and died, and the sword that followed him all his life also broke at the same time as he landed, and merged with his body.
The last holy god is the god of wisdom - Kezheng. However, there is no detailed mention of him in the book, only a few lines of description. It is said that Ke is a genius who cannot be met again in this heaven and earth, who knows the knowledge of the entire time and space, and can clearly judge all right and wrong, and distinguish all benefits and losses.
The first chapter of the Holy Righteousness only gives a general introduction to the stories of the three faiths in God, but then again, after all, what is just said is only a book record. As for whether such a figure really existed, it is impossible to confirm now.
At this time, there was a slight knock on the door suddenly, and Qian, who was indulged in holy righteousness, gradually came back to his senses. I feel a little curious, in this unguarded prison, who will come to him, anyway, don't think about it, it's the same criminal as himself.
Qian walked over and opened the door, and was greeted by a girl who looked like she was the same age.
The girl's long black hair, shiny black pupils, are the same as the eyes of a two- or three-year-old child, and her facial features are even more delicate than Qian. She is slightly taller than Qian, wearing a long black dress, and it is really difficult to associate her image with the cruel atmosphere of prison.
Qian looked at the girl in front of him at a loss, he didn't know why a girl like this, who was born in a rich family, would be included in the cage of this sanction just like himself. With doubts, Qian tentatively opened his mouth and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?" ”
The girl looked at Qian's pupils and replied, "Like you, I am also a member of the Holy Sect, my name is Qing Yuan, and I have seen you at a holy gathering before. ”
After hearing this, Qian was very surprised, someone actually remembered himself, and in his impression, he was a person with a low sense of existence. can only reply bluntly and politely: "My name is Qian." ”
The atmosphere became awkward like this, Qian hadn't gotten along with the opposite sex much, but in fact, he hadn't spoken much to the same sex, and he really didn't know how to continue the conversation.
After the two sides looked at each other for a while, and after a pause of a few seconds, Qing Yuan broke the silence: "Ah, have you received the message?" I heard that the list of early executions has been made public. I just learned that I was going to be executed tomorrow. ”
Qian glanced at the machine hanging on the wall, let's call it an "indicator" here. There was no pop-up notice, so he replied, "I, maybe next week." ”
However, Qian Zhuan thought to himself: Everyone is from the Holy Sect, and the other party is still a girl, is it really good to say this by yourself? Then he continued: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." After saying that, I felt that it was not appropriate to say this, obviously I had just met for the first time, and I said such ambiguous words, even if everyone belonged to the same religion. It doesn't seem good to use this kind of argument to enlighten you.
When the girl heard this, tears flowed from her eyes. Seeing this, Qian panicked, thinking that he must have said something wrong, and hurriedly comforted: "It's me who is not good, I just said something wrong." After a slight pause, "But, I don't know what to do." ”
Although everyone has faith in their hearts, they all serve the same religion together, and even, they have enough courage to face death, or to put it another way, Qian has no way to live for a long time, so he escapes life and prefers death.
To tell the truth, there is nothing that anyone can do in the face of other people's deaths, they have no ability or strength to live, so what can they do to save others.
Qian fell into deep thought, quietly looking at the crying fragile girl in front of him, although he was a stranger, he also wanted to give comfort and relieve pain when others were vulnerable.
But the reality is that he can't do anything, and Qian himself knows that he is not capable of doing certain things.
Maybe it was subconsciously, or maybe there was some force pushing in the dark, Qian slowly stepped forward, gently hugged the girl, and stroked her hair with his right hand, as if covering the girl's body like a thin veil.
Then, Qian whispered a few words in the girl's ear: "I will, if you are afraid and want to live, I will, I will definitely save you." ”
