Chapter XXXV: Count Dracula's Order
The news that the panda was going to "go to heaven" spread, and there was an endless stream of people visiting him.
Most of these people just asked him to help buy a few things for him—Heaven produced many special goodies, most of which were treasures that could purify the mind, heal injuries and diseases, and prolong life.
Of the three, the effect of healing injuries is of little use to the traversers, because they themselves will. The other two are very useful, there are not too many things to prolong life, after more than fifty years, many of the old friends of the time-travelers have passed away, and even those young people who were in their prime, have reached the end of their lives. If they can, many traversers want to extend the life of the people they value, whether it is drugs or treasures that can prolong their lives, they are completely in short supply.
As for the things that purify the mind...... How to say it, this thing is a little embarrassing to say, after all, whether the act of "purifying the mind" is treatment or brainwashing, there is a question mark.
But there is no doubt that there are many people in this world who need to purify their minds.
Among these people, most of them are the ones that the traversers don't care about. They will not waste treasures on these people, at most help them to have a "life restart slash", and then silently wish them to be a good person in the next life.
Of course, there are also traversers who do it a little more gently. Locke, for example, was inclined to send those whom he felt had hope of salvation to forced labor, polishing their hearts and reopening their human light through hard labor and the joy of harvest.
This works well, and even if it fails to be saved, it can at least be used as a labor force.
As for those who have no hope of saving, of course, let them use their residual heat and become a prop to show the majesty of the law and the power of domination.
After all, "swinging" is also a tradition in the Western Continent, and many people eat this set. The countryside is a little better, if the bodies of two criminals are not hung in the city, outsiders will often feel that the local rule of law is lax, and the possibility of crime will be increased to a considerable extent.
This bad habit made many time-travelers frown, but Locke, the only one of them who would make a strong decision that "the people must do this" by his own will, chose to compromise, let alone others.
As for why Locke would give in on this issue, the reason was simple: he felt that there was no need to make his people unhappy for the sake of the last dignity of those irretrievable villains.
"Even if you can only let everyone watch the excitement, the people still need entertainment after all. "Periodically, one or two criminals are hanged and the bodies are hung up for everyone to see." This might help with entertainment. ”
Can this kind of thing be considered entertainment? The people who heard this looked at each other.
The strategy team couldn't help but discuss this, and finally they found the answer from "The True Story of Ah Q".
"It seems, as if, maybe...... The people were indeed quite happy to see the execution of criminals......"
"That's right, every time I see news on the Internet about the fall of a high-ranking official, I will also be very happy. ”
"Damn, are you acting so naked?"
"Won't you gloat?"
“...... It's a shame to say it, but I do. ”
"Isn't it natural to get pleasure from other people's suffering? After all, we humans are selfish creatures. ”
"So...... Are you sure Locke is doing the right thing?"
"I am afraid that this kind of thing will have to be dragged by God to confirm whether it is right or not. As mortals, we are a little arrogant to make this judgment......"
But God does not exist. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe our crossing is God's operation ......"
"God will not specially operate a group of Chinese to cross, there are so many whites and blacks in the world, there are so many fanatical believers who worship him, just pull a little crossing, it is impossible to find us at all!"
"Yes, if it is really some god on the earth who manipulates us to cross, I think the Buddha is a little more likely. ”
"Bah! Why would a Nepalese man come and manipulate a group of Chinese to cross? I think the goddess Nuwa is more likely. ”
"O O Shou! Could it be that the great god Nuwa has become an otaku? Otherwise, why would she create such a world and throw us over?"
"Hey, aren't you afraid of punishment for saying something like that?"
"If it's another god, it's just that, it's absolutely impossible for the great god Nuwa to punish me for this little thing, so many people who wrote about the flood and desolation on the Internet and Nuwa were not hit by the five thunders, what am I worth?"
"If you think about it, the otaku creator god, such an image seems to be interesting......"
"yes, yes, why don't you draw a special cartoon with those big touches?"
The discussion has slipped in a meaningless direction, but at least the conclusions have come out.
Though...... It was a meaningless conclusion for Locke himself.
Once this stubborn guy thinks that something is good for the people, then he will unswervingly carry it out, and will not pay attention to other people's opinions at all.
In that sense, he definitely has a talent for becoming a tyrant.
...... As long as he is old enough to turn his wisdom into stupidity, it will be fine.
If this world is not destroyed by the Dragon of Doom in more than forty years, it will probably wait for hundreds or thousands of years...... Maybe longer, but I guess I can wait for that day.
According to a subtle saying, if a dragon slayer is bathed in dragon blood and lives forever, as the years go by, it will gradually become alienated from mortals, and eventually transform into a dragon in human form—the strongest force to prevent heroes from transforming into demon kings, not morality, but longevity.
Panda was not a philosopher or a sociologist, and he was neither able to judge the correctness nor of such claims, nor was he at all interested in Locke's ideas for the use of the treasures.
For the treasures in heaven that can purify the soul, Locke is very interested, and he has booked a lot.
He has no intention of respecting the human rights of criminals at all, and said that as long as the number of props is sufficient, he intends to implement a "public purification" execution method in Dracula, so that criminals can be purified in public and transformed into useful people in society.
"It's going to be used as a tool for execution? Panda was surprised and asked, "Don't you think it's a waste?"
"Not at all. Locke replied, "What is the use of treasures in the storehouse except for accumulating dust and burdening the storehouse? ”
"But...... Maybe we should use them for more valuable purposes?"
"After so many years, I haven't thought of anything particularly valuable, how can I find it all at once?" said Locke nonchalantly, "The most important thing is to be able to play a role now." As for the future...... Isn't it possible that without this kind of prop, the problems of the future cannot be solved?
Seeing Locke's calm face, Panda pondered for a while and decided to complete only half of his order.
He really couldn't have the confidence of Locke.
