In the past, the death of living beings was an irreversible process. When a person dies, it means that there is nothing left.

The knowledge and experience, skills and techniques that individuals have acquired over a long period of history will disappear with the passing of their lives.

This is a pity for the living individual, and it is a loss for the imperial organization.

Therefore, when the "Tree of Souls" appeared on the planet Pandora, many scientific researchers observed its magical functions and came up with the experimental idea of transferring the so-called "consciousness" and "soul" of living beings into machines.

The consciousness of living beings and the special life composed of machinery are tireless, not afraid of damage, and can exist forever.

Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery soars.

In a way, for humans who are obsessed with extending the performance of carbon-based bodies, or maybe it's also a way to live forever.

"Since it's hard to be a man, then don't be a man, it's fun and interesting!"

In the royal court of the fantasy world, Shen Sen, who was on a high chair, gently rubbed the polished and smooth armrests, looking at the interesting content in front of his desk, he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

At present, in the fantasy world, it is indeed difficult to be a human being.

Although the stars can solve the difficulties brought by material things to the people, they can never eliminate the weaknesses of the human spirit.

I don't know what I thought of, under the blazing sun of the afternoon, Shen Sen left the royal court.

On weekdays, he is busy with work, and he rarely walks around the world that he has created but rarely sets foot in.

Along the street leading to the royal court, Shen Sen walked slowly outward.

The street is not modern, but retains the classical architectural style of the fantasy world.

The avenues are lined with swaying greenery, and the sun shines on them, giving off a fragrant smell.

Compared to the days of the old empire, the cleanliness of this street is a sea change.

The people of Farmatt did not have the concept of "epidemic" before, and called it a curse, so it was difficult for them to have a complete concept of hygiene, whether it was the old empire that had disappeared, or other subhuman races, there were almost no decent toilets, and open defecation seemed normal to them.

If it is an exaggeration to say that they "do not take a bath for a thousand years", then "open defecation for a thousand years" is an indisputable fact.

For ordinary people, the floor is their toilet, and after pulling it, use a shovel to shovel into the corner of the wall. Besides, they are usually used to the smell of body odor, so they naturally feel indifferent to the feces and urine that are close at hand.

Only the most elaborate nobles and high-ranking priests would have a special toilet in the living room, and it was elegantly and comfortably furnished.

Because the word toilet is a bit indecent, it is vaguely referred to as "private room", "cozy place" or "prayer room".

The prayer room of the church was originally used as a toilet, or later the toilet was converted into a prayer room.

Shen Sen once saw such a story when he was reading the books in the royal court's collection. Judges in the old empire of Troyes, once plagued by stench, tried to legislate a ban on people from using the streets as open-air toilets, only to provoke a popular riot.

A delegation led by a weaver immediately went to the town hall to protest against the judges' violation of basic human rights!

The spokesperson of the delegation claimed: "Our parents defecated there, and now I defecate there, and my children will go there to poop!"

In the end, the anxious judges had to admit that the citizens of Troyes had a natural right to defecate in the open!

A bard summed it up in a very witty poetic tone: "... The streets of Intramuros have gloriously maintained its right to use, and it has enthusiastically witnessed the butts of its customers. These people come in a habitual way and pay it all the respect they deserve. ”

Therefore, since the Star Empire established order on this planet, the first major thing it has done is to change the dirty and messy problem of all people's gathering areas.

To this end, the Star Empire has spent countless manpower and material resources to build a complete urban infrastructure for the use of its residents. In addition to this, the Empire has enacted several coercive measures aimed at reversing many of the bad habits of humans and subhumans under its rule.

The Executive Palace was left behind, and the central street had come to an end.

The outer side of the central avenue is not as strict and cold as the royal court, which is the administrative center, and the two sides have gradually become bustling and noisy.

The Royal Court is now the largest city in the north of the Falmatt Continent of the Star Empire, and the streets are full of people with a mix of classical and modern.

Large entertainment venues, banks, and shops line the streets, and the streets of the entire city are connected into a continuous market, showing the prosperity of the world.

Winged men with winged wings shrank through the streets, and headhunters in maid outfits greet travelers as they come and go. Some of the fish-folk from the south coast also come here to sell the region's unique seafood in the lingua franca.

Shen Sen just glanced at it from a distance, then turned around and walked into a cold building that was completely black under the escort of the fully armed guards.

The sign at the entrance reads a line of large, blood-red letters—Inquisition!!

The Inquisition of Heresy is one of the three branches of the Imperial Inquisition, along with the Inquisition of Alien Creature and the Inquisition of Chaos Demons.

The Inquisition of Inquisition was founded later than the Inquisition of Demons and Aliens. It grew with the rise of the Society of Truth, now the state religion of the Empire.

Their mission is to counterbalance the power of the Truth Order, on the one hand, and to protect humanity from internal enemies, fighting traitors, mutants, heretics and unsanctioned psionics, and other internal threats to the Empire.

It was the hunting of psionics that earned the Inquisitors of the Inquisition the title of "Witch Hunters".

Xenomorphs, Chaos Demon Corruptors, Traitors, and Heretics are also targets for heretics.

The Inquisition will not hesitate to act in the face of suspicious targets from other Imperial departments, and many corrupted Imperial Truth Cult staff will be plucked from within the Empire by the Inquisitor.

In the eyes of traitors, the Inquisitors are the most terrible people in the entire empire. Compared to their xenomorph and demon inquisition brethren, the Inquisitors are generally considered darker and more insidious, as they focus on eliminating human enemies within the Empire, which turns them into a cold, ruthless, and extremely intolerant group.

Their focus is on humanity itself, and they are absolutely callous to those whom they perceive to have failed or violated the Führer's trust.

When a heretical inquisitor comes into a certain world, no one knows whose gaze will fall on him or whose sanctions will fall on him, except for the judge himself.

Although the methods of the Inquisition are extreme and completely ruthless, it has good reasons and rights.

The fantasy world under the control of the Star Empire, though vast and seemingly impregnable, faces ever-present dangers, and it will face the danger of decay from within. This rot must be detected in time and eradicated. This is an eternal war without bystanders, without the ruthlessness and injustice of the innocent.

Humanity is constantly under threat from physical mutations and psionic powers. Mutants represent a deviation from the normalcy of the flesh and are a potential stain on Chaos.

In general, as the flesh mutates, spiritual depravity often follows as naturally as carrion attracts pests.

Corrupt psionics pose far more danger than other traitors or heretics, and they are a threat to the Empire, regardless of their motivation. Such people are potential channels through which the terrorist forces of subspace can be unleashed.

Each of them is capable of committing crimes and atrocities unimaginable to ordinary people, causing disasters and nightmares, from deliberately enslaving others as puppets to slaughtering innocent people, which psychics can accomplish with a single thought.

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

The hunt for illegal and corrupt psionics is a central goal for many in the Inquisition, and it is indeed a dangerous task that requires extreme cunning, ruthlessness, and shrewdness to accomplish it, and there is no prey more dangerous than this.

And when heretics are caught, they will not be executed immediately, but by the grace of the head of the empire, they will be given a chance, a chance to be human again.

Inside the pitch-black building, Shen Sen walked through a long alleyway surging with spiritual energy, came to a solemn prison, and stopped.

In the cage, there were some creatures with green body fluids and pustules that were bound by three layers of special shackles inside and three layers outside, and they let out a tyrannical roar after seeing Shen Sen coming.

Shen Sen raised his head and looked at the wall in front of him, on which was engraved a sentence: Heretics can still see the truth and seek salvation. His past can be forgiven, and after death he can be forgiven. Traitors will never be forgiven, and will never find peace in this world or in the afterlife.

After reading it, he lowered his head and waved at the monster in front of him.

"Exorcism ritual, let's begin!"
