"As a prison?" Shang Luo didn't expect that the first use would be this

"Yes, prisons are important. Of course, the construction of order is inseparable from violence, and prison represents violent punishment. 'Lifting' a person out of his habitual living environment and detaining him in an enclosed space is a very severe punishment, and it is appropriate and proportionate. Do you remember the murder case of the father killing the son some time ago? ”

"Well, I remember, it seems to make the Son of Heaven very distressed."

Because all death sentences must be reviewed and signed by him personally, which means that he is responsible for all death sentences. If the facts of the case are unclear, he has no psychological pressure to put it aside. But this is the case, the facts of the case are very clear, but the matters outside the case are extremely complicated, which makes it extremely difficult for him to make a judgment. Theoretically, as long as he did not sign, then the death penalty would not be carried out. But if he's the only one who doesn't sign, he's going to be in the spotlight. And this. ”

She pointed inside the door, "I observed the change in the speed of time passing inside. It was found that from the normal flow rate to the 365 times the flow rate, there is still a very large space to be gradually constructed. From 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 200x, all the way up to the highest 365x. We can build eighteen layers of hell, and the speed of time will gradually increase. The first level is closed for one year, which is just one year. One year at the bottom of the sea is three hundred and sixty-five years. This is also an extremely long period of time for the heavenly beings, and I am afraid that those who are unstable in the Dao heart will directly decline the five heavens and men, and fall into extinction. ”

"So that's another level of 'locked up to death'?"

"Well, because the modern justice system, especially with the addition of spells, allows us to analyze every detail of the case in detail, and we can also take as many elements as possible into account when sentencing. Generally speaking, as long as it does not cause irreparable harm to others, we generally use punishment sparingly. If a person is not deprived of life, then death is generally not carried out. For the celestials, we also have this consideration: that is, the celestial beings may not be killed. ”

"Oh yes, indeed."

This situation was also considered by Shang Luo for the first time - that is, if he was killed now, he would not really die. As long as the Pure Land is established, all that happens after death is nothing more than going to the Pure Land to stay for a while. Although this is still a murder, it has not actually caused "irreparable" damage, because after 18 years, he is a good man, and he can still come out. When the killing itself is no longer an "irreparable" injury, the scale of the death penalty and other punishments must be reconsidered.

"So, Shang Tianjun, what kind of punishment do you think should be given if you kill someone and let the victim go to the Pure Land for 18 years to be reborn?"

"Well, I'm not sure. Still." Shang Luo thought for a moment, "I think it can make a prisoner go to the 18th layer of hell and squat for 18 years, and 365 times the speed is 6570 years of physical time." ”

"Poof-" Phaethon was drinking tea and almost squirted out: "Good guy good guy, is this the progress of science and technology, now it can lock people up for six thousand years, it's terrible." ”

Year 6570. This has already been poked to the "ancient times". It is equivalent to someone who has been imprisoned from the time of the Three Emperors in ancient times to the present, and the sentence has not yet been completed.

This is indeed a person who has broken the rules of heaven to be locked up for so long. It's really intimidating.

"Of course, if you don't kill someone, you will be imprisoned for 6,000 years." Shang Luo replied, "It still depends on the situation." If it makes ethical sense, it depends on the situation. For example, if you are avenging your father and your children, and let the other party stay in the Pure Land for 18 years, then it feels like you will be in prison for 18 years - although there are extenuating circumstances, the law does not encourage private fighting, and it is more reasonable to impose appropriate punishments. But under what circumstances it will be closed in 6570, I haven't thought of it yet. Oh yes. ”

Shang Luo asked Han Xingsi: "Has the imperial court prepared a plan?" There are still capital crimes, right? ”

"Yes." Han Xingsi nodded, "Although it is expected that the situation of really 'being able to kill' will be very harsh, there is still the possibility of actually killing people. Therefore, we are also preparing for the corresponding five thunderbolt punishments. However, Shang Tianjun, there is actually another corresponding punishment, and in fact, we also have it now. ”

"What?"

"Exile. Even if it is a life sentence, it is still a prison sentence. But in our current judicial practice, we do not impose a simple sentence of deprivation of liberty on a truly serious offender, but rather an exile to the fringes of Haozhou, Java, and other worlds. This is much more brutal than imprisonment and is more suitable for punishing felons who are not enough for the death penalty but need 'real punishment'. ”

"Wait. You mean we can also divide the exile in the world of mustard number 1039? ”

"I call it the punishment of the Fallen Heaven. Depriving them of their spiritual wisdom and banishing them to the nether realm, suspending their self-perception as celestial beings, and reincarnating in ignorance in them for life and lifetime. Until, he is at the end of his calamity, and he can be recalled. So the 18 layers of hell can be made into a bottomless abyss - the 18 layers of hell are the ground of world 1039. I think it's a great deterrent to deprive him of his spiritual wisdom as a celestial being, to fall from the heavenly realm, and to suffer from reincarnation. ”

“.” Shang Luo was frightened, "This is too scary, isn't it?" ”

"Well, in theory, this is more terrifying than what is now called the 'death penalty', after all, if you shoot down, you will be a traitor again after 18 years, and there is no punishment effect. If it is not intended to destroy its soul, then depriving it of the 'continuity' of its existence and causing it to fall to heaven - execution plus falling to heaven is the ultimate punishment in contrast to the previous death penalty. As for the five thunder blasts, it seems that there is no need now, because for the celestials, conventional means are not enough to cause 'irreparable' losses. Because for celestial beings, there is always time and opportunity. ”

This is the consistent thinking of the imperial court. Irreparable harm is responded with irreparable punishment. In the past, this was a contrast between homicide and the death penalty. But here in the heavenly beings, killing people cannot be killed, and even the death penalty is not so easy to kill.

In this process, the key judgment is played by the "continuity of consciousness", that is, whether "my existence" will be suspended.

It would be a very scary thing if someone resets their memories every time they sleep. Because this means that his consciousness will be interrupted once a day in continuity, which is equivalent to being killed once a day. Every day when I sleep, I have to say goodbye to the world I am familiar with, and the next second I will wake up with another person.

In this case, even the next sleeping pill is tantamount to "murder".
