Darkness is Coming

  How to punish the awakened who violate the law and endanger others and national security has always been a difficult problem that has caused Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian to argue endlessly.

When Cao Ming and Doudou were arrested and brought to justice, Yu Qian and Yang Xiaoqian had a disagreement on how to deal with them. The handling of the two newly awakened people will create an irreparable gap between the two, and eventually lead to irreconcilable contradictions.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, there will be more and more freshmen awakened without war, and unstable factors will also increase. It is impossible for the supervision departments such as the Super Energy Academy and the Nineteenth Bureau to be comprehensive, and naturally unable to fundamentally Eliminate the possibility of the Awakened committing crimes.

The main reason why    can maintain stability now is because most of the awakened people in the country came out of the far river.

   The Awakened Council and the Nineteenth Bureau knew these Awakeneds very well. They knew in their hearts that punishment for crimes was inevitable, and naturally there was no chance of luck. Moreover, for these awakened people, they can get almost everything they want, unless it is a psychopath of criminal killing and thrill-seeking, otherwise they have no reason to commit crimes.

   And the awakened ones who are really psychopaths were killed by Yang Xiaoqian and Liu Yuanzhou in several **** clean-ups in Yuanjiang. Not a single one was left, and all that remained were smart people with reason.

However, the newly awakened people do not have enough understanding of their own identity or ability, nor do they have enough understanding of the awakened class. For them, if they suddenly acquire the ability, they will inevitably want to use their superpower to benefit themselves or take revenge. So take the illegal road.

   If there are still awakened ones who commit unforgivable crimes in the future, they must be punished severely enough to ensure the inevitability and severity of punishment.

   But what kind of punishment should be established?

  The death penalty? For a murderer like Xiao Guang, it would be too happy to let him die, and each Awakened is an irreplaceable precious resource. No one knows when their abilities may come in handy. Killing without amnesty is not only a waste of resources, but also irresponsible for the interests of all.

   Life imprisonment? For Awakened people with supernatural abilities, it takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build a prison that can restrict them, and prison imprisonment is not a severe punishment. Awakened people may still enjoy pampering in prison. life, can this be considered a severe punishment?

  Ensuring the inevitability and severity of punishment is not only to maintain justice, but also to maintain stability and harmony. If the cost of crime by the awakened person is too small, then the cases of the awakened person committing crimes will emerge in an endless stream.

Originally, this issue was handed over to the parliament and the National Awakened Management Department to discuss slowly, because although it is of high importance, it is not as urgent as several other things, so the priority is not ranked in the first order, and Yang Xiaoqian has not discussed it. Pay more attention, anyway, when a reasonable proposal appears, it will always be necessary to hold a vote in the inner house.

   But seeing Su Yue's super power today, Yang Xiaoqian had a whim.

  Perhaps, Su Yue's super power can be flexibly used to build a dream cage.

   Real pain can be felt in the dream, but it will not cause substantial harm to the body of the tortured. Even if the physiological function of the body is disturbed due to pain, it can be easily remedied by a professional medical team. This means that the dream cage can perfectly use all the tortures that are inconvenient in reality. You can use it as you want, and use it as long as you want.

   Throwing criminals into dream cages and tormenting them forever is no less terrifying than the eighteenth hell—if it takes enough time, it is not impossible for Su Yue to create a nineteenth hell.

   This kind of punishment really makes people unable to survive and die. It is so perverted that Yang Xiaoqian himself feels unacceptable, and it will definitely have an excellent deterrent effect. Even better, the Awakened who accepts the punishment will not really die, and use endless torture to destroy its mind, making it a walking dead that only obeys orders. When its ability is needed, it can be awakened and used as a prop. .

After roughly describing the idea of ​​the dream cage from the side, Yang Xiaoqian smiled and said: "Of course, everything is a loss when the moon is full, and it is too late, and the degree of which needs to be carefully grasped. In addition, special attention needs to be paid to safety. In case an awakened person is in the dream Awakening new abilities again in China, what should I do? There are many similar possibilities, so make a plan. Finally..."

   "President Yang!" Su Yue interrupted Yang Xiaoqian rudely, her face looked worse than before, "I, I can't do it!"

   "Can't do it? If it is a lack of ability, I can always think of a way to make up for it, and I will arrange..."

   This time it was Yang Xiaoqian who stopped by himself, because he noticed that Su Yue's eyes became strange when he looked at him.

  Su Yue's eyes no longer have the initial awe, but pure fear and fear, as if seeing the ultimate villain BOSS in a horror movie.

   This is clearly the look in the eyes of the monster.

   Am I a monster? Have I turned into a monster? Yang Xiaoqian was in a trance for a moment.

"President Yang, with all due respect, I know that imprisoning the Awakened in a dream cage can save time, efficiency, and safety, and can leave the precious Awakened as a tool for repeated use. However, doing so is really..." Su Yue is stuck, she can't find an appropriate adjective.

   "Inhuman, animal behavior." Yang Xiaoqian added the adjectives she needed for Su Yue.

"Yes! President Yang! I know that we need the combat power of the Awakened, and we need to deter criminal behavior while doing positive publicity, but the means of imprisoning in the dream cage is beyond the acceptable limit of human morality. I do No! I really can't do it!" Su Yue shook her head again and again.

"Why can't you do it?" Yang Xiaoqian put away the stiff smile on his face and looked at Su Yue coldly, "Is it because your moral conscience doesn't allow it, or are you afraid that as the inventor of cruel torture in the future, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. superior?"

  Su Yue just shook her head and said nothing.

   This is the first time that Yang Xiaoqian's order has been opposed by his subordinates since he became the president of the Yuanjiao Society. Strictly speaking, Su Yue cannot be regarded as Yang Xiaoqian's subordinate, but there is no difference in the feelings it brings to Yang Xiaoqian.

   In the face of Su Yue's disobedience, Yang Xiaoqian took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Su, please listen to me first."
