Chapter 1120: Count Dracula's Order
The news that the panda is going to "go to heaven" spread, and people came to visit him in an endless stream.
Among these people, most of them just ask him to help buy some things on their behalf. There are many special good things in heaven, most of which are treasures that can purify the mind, heal injuries and prolong life.
Among the three, the effect of treating injuries is not of much use to the traversers, because they can do it themselves. The other two are very useful. There are not too many things to prolong life. After more than 50 years, many old friends of the travelers have passed away, and even those young people who were in their prime have lost their lives. It has come to the waning years. If possible, many transmigrators want to prolong the life of the people they value. Whether it is medicines or treasures that can prolong their lives, the supply is completely in short supply.
As for the things that purify the mind... how should I put it, this thing is a bit embarrassing to say, after all, whether the behavior of "purifying the mind" is considered therapy or brainwashing 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 not cared by the traversers. They will not waste their treasures on these people, at most help them with a "life restart cut", and then silently wish them a good person in the next life.
Of course, there are also traversers who are relatively mild. Locke, for example, was inclined to send into forced labor those whom he felt had hope of salvation, to polish their hearts through hard labor and the joy of harvest, and to re-brighten the light of their humanity.
This approach works well, even if it fails to save, at least it can serve as a labor force.
As for those who have no hope of saving, of course, let them use their residual heat and become props to demonstrate the majesty of the law and the power of domination.
After all, "swinging on the swing" is also a tradition in the Western Land, and many people eat this set. The countryside is a little better. If the bodies of two criminals are not found in the city and hang around all day long, outsiders often feel that the local rule of law is lax, and the possibility of crime will increase to a considerable extent.
This bad habit made many transmigrators frown, but Locke, who was the only one among them who would forcefully decide "the people must do this" with his own will, chose to compromise, not to mention others.
As for why Locke backed down on the issue, the reason was simple: he felt no need to make his people unhappy for the last dignity of those irredeemable villains.
"Even if it's just for everyone to watch, the people still need entertainment," he said. "Periodically hang one or two criminals and hang their bodies for everyone to watch. This may help entertainment."
Is this kind of thing considered entertainment? The people who heard this looked at each other.
The strategy team couldn't help discussing this, and finally they found the answer in "The True Story of Ah Q".
"It seems, seems, maybe... the people are indeed quite happy to see the execution of criminals..."
"That's right, every time I see news of a high-ranking official being sacked on the Internet, I'm also very happy."
"Damn, are you acting so naked?"
"Aren't you going to gloat?"
"...Although it's a bit embarrassing to say it, but I do too."
"That's what it is, isn't it a matter of course to get pleasure from the pain of others? We humans are creatures with a selfish nature after all."
"So... you can be sure that Locke's approach is correct?"
"This kind of thing, I am afraid that God must be dragged over to be sure whether it is correct or not. As mortals, it is a bit arrogant for us to make this judgment..."
"But God doesn't exist."
"Not necessarily, maybe our crossing is God's operation..."
"God wouldn't have specially operated a group of Chinese people to cross over. There are so many white and black people in the world, and there are so many mad believers who worship him. Just pull a little cross, and it's impossible to find us!"
"Yeah, if it's true that some **** on earth manipulates us to travel through, I think the possibility of Buddha is a little higher."
"Bah! Why is a Nepalese manipulating a group of Chinese people to cross? I think the possibility of Goddess Nuwa is more likely."
"Yao Shou! Could it be that God Nuwa has become a house girl? Otherwise, why would she create such a world and throw us over here?"
"Hey! If you say that, aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"If it's another god, it's fine. God Nuwa absolutely can't punish me for this trivial matter. So many people who write about Nuwa on the Internet have not been bombarded by five thunders. What do I count?"
"Think about it, the otaku goddess of creation, such an image seems to be very interesting..."
"Yeah, yeah, how about getting those big touches to draw a special comic?"
The discussion has slid in a meaningless direction, but at least the conclusion has come.
Although... it is a meaningless conclusion for Locke himself.
Once this stubborn guy thinks that something is beneficial to the people, he will unswervingly carry it out, ignoring other people's opinions at all.
In this sense, he definitely has the talent to change jobs to be a tyrant.
...as long as he is old enough to turn his wits into stupor.
If this world will not be destroyed by the Dragon of Doom after more than 40 years, it will probably wait patiently for hundreds of years, thousands of years... Maybe even longer, in short, it should be able to wait until that day.
According to a subtle saying, if the dragon slayer is bathed in dragon blood and immortalized, as time goes on, he will gradually become alienated from mortals, and eventually transform into a human-like dragon—the strongest force that prevents heroes from transforming into demon kings , not morality, but longevity.
Panda is not a philosopher or a sociologist, and he can neither judge whether it is correct or not, nor is he interested at all. In contrast, he is more interested in Locke's idea of how to use those treasures.
Locke is very interested in the treasures in heaven that can purify the soul, and has made a lot of reservations.
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 usefulness for society. people.
"Used as a prop for execution? It will take a lot, right?" Panda asked in surprise, "Don't you think it's a waste?"
"I don't think so at all." Locke replied, "What's the use of treasures in the warehouse other than accumulating dust and adding a burden to the warehouse management? It's better to use them, no matter how they contribute to the world. ."
"But . . . maybe we should use them for something more valuable?"
"I haven't thought of anything particularly valuable for so many years. How can I find it at once?" Locke said nonchalantly, "The most important thing is to be able to play a role now. As for the future... Is there no such tool in the future? Can't solve the problem? How is it possible!"
Seeing Locke's calm face, Panda pondered for a while and decided to only fulfill half of his order.
He really couldn't have the confidence of Locke.
