The Journey of the Plane / The Journey of the Plane: Looking for Lily

About ten years ago, right?

This place was originally a feudal monarchy, and then a revolution started ten years ago ended and the country became a democracy-yes, the white building in Central Park is indeed a palace, and listen Kino, who came here, naturally asked about the huge cemetery in the backyard of the imperial palace.

At first, Kino speculated that there might be an epidemic in this country, but unexpectedly the man shook his head bluntly, saying that this was not the case, and only one person died of the disease.

Anyway-

The story continues.

Because the country is a monarchy system, the king alone controls the country and the people as his own private property, and all the citizens live under the supreme imperial power.In fact, there is nothing wrong with this kind of system. After all, all the kings in the history of the country are wise and full of wisdom. Every king is loved by the people—it’s a pity that the king who took office 14 years ago is real. Extremely bad, once in power, he started to go his own way, killing all those who disobeyed him!At that time, it happened to be in a downturn when the crops were not harvested, but he didn't care about it at all, he only knew about eating, drinking, having fun and dreaming.

This time lasted for three full years.

The crops were also in default for three full years.

Almost all the citizens are suffering from hunger, but the king still ignores it. Maybe he doesn't even know what "hunger" is in his heart?

"Eat cake without bread~"

Hermes interrupted with a sudden mischief like a child trying to grab an adult's attention.

Although the man who was telling the story didn't care, he smiled very kindly and said that Hermes' description of the accident was very appropriate, but Hermes' troubles could not escape Moli's justice after all, and Hermes almost died when he kicked down , aggrieved that he would never dare to interrupt again.

The man on the other side continued to talk——

Finally, 11 years ago, after the king mercilessly executed all the peasants who petitioned for lower taxes, the national anger rose to the extreme!They know that if they want to change the status quo, they must overthrow the king, or even overthrow the entire monarchy!So the planning of the revolution officially started... At this time, the man who was telling the story to Chino and his party was studying literature in a graduate school. So in the early stages of the revolutionary plan, they directly participated in it.

The man took advantage of the situation and explained that if this kind of revolution was discovered, he would definitely be sentenced to death, and several of his companions had already been executed at that time.

Then began to explain the method of the death penalty.

It is to tie the prisoner with a rope, hang it upside down on a high place, and then cut the rope that hangs the prisoner, so that the prisoner who is hanging upside down in the air will fall directly on the street - and this way of hanging upside down will naturally make the head of the prisoner fall first. Therefore, criminals are generally beaten to death.

What is even more frightening is that there was a policy of implicating the nine clans at the beginning.

So when this man was forced to witness the public execution, he not only had to watch his companion die, but also watched his companion's family members die one after another...

Sentence all relatives of the prisoner to death in the order of parents, spouse, and children...

Probably because this man has witnessed similar scenes many times?

So at this time his face was not very good-looking.

Kino fell into silence, and Mo Li felt a chill. When he heard the man said that the execution ground was the crossroads in the middle of the city, he immediately thought of the place where he camped on the first day, and suddenly he finally understood why. I would feel such a huge resentment in that place!

Absolutely!

It's strange that this kind of death method that implicates the nine clans doesn't accumulate resentment!

Thanks to the fact that there seems to be no ghosts in this world, otherwise a super terrifying ghost, even comparable to Kayako, would have been born at that intersection long ago!

The man who didn't know what Mo Li was thinking was naturally still telling the story. In the spring ten years ago, they finally revolted in one go!First of all, raiding the arsenal of the guards will get a lot of persuaders and ammunition, and then there will naturally be some guards who want to surrender to them, so the team will grow stronger—because they are unstoppable because they are organized and premeditated. People never thought that the people would revolt, so they rushed into the palace aggressively, intending to capture the king who should have been aloof!

But I never thought that the king would have already escaped...

And this is also the reason why the palace in Central Park was not damaged at all. Hermis couldn't help but suddenly realized when he heard this.

Fortunately, the king was finally caught.

Because a brand-new way of life is needed as the means of operation of this country, all citizens, including this man, decide to rule themselves, not by a specific part of the chosen ones, but by everyone making decisions together and implementing political management together nation.

such as--

After someone has an idea, everyone can publicize it, and then send someone to investigate how many people agree with it.

If at last the majority agrees, then the idea can be adopted unconditionally.

Undoubtedly, whether to let the captured king pay with blood is the first resolution of the newly born country, and 98% of the citizens agree with it, so the king sent him to the execution ground without any objection, and carried out the policy of implicating the nine clans. policy, he was sentenced to death with his cronies and all family members.

And then the country went through a pretty good time with a majority vote policy...

"But one day! Suddenly a guy uttered wild words!"

When the man mentioned this place, his expression instantly became extremely ferocious, as if he saw a scum that could endanger the entire country.

"That guy advocates this - it is too much time for all the people to vote for everything. It is better for everyone to vote for a leader who can lead the country in their hearts, give this person some authority, and hand over the operation of the country. How about giving him a few years?"

"Humph!"

"How could such a proposal be passed!"

The man looks extremely dismissive

"The guy who said such nonsense must be mentally deranged! Isn't the previous lesson not enough? In this way, what if the leader you elected starts to behave mischievously? Give a person the power to control the country, then when he Who can stop him from doing whatever he wants?" The man curled his lips in disgust, and belittled mercilessly, "The guy who supports this policy must want to recreate a king with absolute authority in this country! Then, after successfully supporting him, you can live under his protection as a matter of course, and live a special life where one person is under one person and above ten thousand people!"

"Oh—what a superficial bunch!"

Volume [-] Chino's Journey: The Sixth Country, the Country with a Majority Vote (End)

Oh open!

It is so...

In fact, Mo Li still felt a little pity when he heard this. After all, it is quite good to elect a representative similar to the president. In any case, it is really time-consuming for all citizens to participate in the voting.

"So we have always believed that these guys with such dangerous ideas are themselves dangerous! And they will definitely pose a danger to the future of the country! After a general vote, everyone unanimously decided to bring all these guys to court!" The man whose tone gradually became more and more intense appeared to be very eloquent, as if what he had done was very just, but Mo Li and Kino just looked at each other and didn't say what they thought, only the man continued to be righteous. Sternly speaking, "Fortunately, the majority voted in favor of their guilt! So these guys were all sentenced to death! And they will also implicate the nine clans—that's right, this kind of punishment is the most suitable for traitors!"

The man's emotions are obviously very excited, but when he described "Zhu Lian Nine Clans", it was an extremely understatement, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more normal.

Emmm...

Mo Li couldn't say a word about it.

It is too cruel to impose the death penalty on people because of different political opinions, and even implicate the nine clans, isn't it?

Seeing that the man's expression gradually became a little lonely, Mo Li originally thought that he was regretting that he hadn't been so radical at the beginning, but unexpectedly, he just regretted that the guy who "rebelled against the country" had not disappeared. It was even more exciting when someone proposed to abolish the death penalty system!

"That can't be done!"

The man said firmly.

"Once the death penalty is abolished, wouldn't the guy who rebelled against the country be killed? It would be better to say that the guy who suggested the abolition of the death penalty is a traitor himself!"

???

Mo Li heard black question marks on his face.

What kind of fairy logic is this?

"Thus the guy who intends to abolish the death penalty will be sentenced to death after voting. It is bound to make these traitors no longer dare to do anything wrong! It's a pity that they later opposed our new tax policy, complaining that their tax rate is too high, and threatened to pay the death penalty. If you can’t afford it, you can refuse to pay it. Not only do you not obey the resolution of the majority vote, but you also keep complaining—oh, of course we will not allow this kind of arrogance and selfishness that only considers yourself! So these people only want to Seeing that my own guy will also be sentenced to death!"

Once again, the man speaks of the death penalty in an understatement, as if those who disagreed with his politics were not human at all.

"It's really not easy to manage a country."

It can be seen that when Mo Li held up the notepad, there was a hint of sarcasm.

If most of the citizens of this country are as radical as this man, then every time a new policy is proposed, it is simply a bet on one's own life!And because all citizens have to vote, no one is safe. If you accidentally stand on the wrong team, you will be directly sentenced to death by the majority party with the title of "traitor".

Ha ha!

Obviously already a death game, isn't it?

If you want to survive, you must not vote based on whether the policy itself is correct or not. You must observe which side is the majority and then choose your own decision!

Invisibly, whichever side has more people is justice!

And from the man's narration, we can know that this kind of guy who "rebels against the country" has been appearing for ten years, and his speech is very powerful. Standing with them, wanting to guide the country in the wrong direction—the man couldn't help showing a look of pain, and said with great regret: "At that time, my mood was as sad as when I watched my companions be executed by the king. , but what I have to do is not to follow my personal feelings, so I will never soften my heart!"

The result of this "death game" going on will naturally prompt many citizens to be executed by everyone, together with their families.

So the original cemetery will not be enough.

Then, naturally, came the massive cemetery in Central Park.

By the way, the original piece of fertile land was planned to be farmland, but it was a special period, and there were too many traitors who died because of the vote—so there was no other way but to put the farmland aside for the time being. Let's deal with the matter of the cemetery.

of course.

Anyone who opposed Central Park being turned into a cemetery was, of course, executed.

The reason for voting on them is also very fair and aboveboard. They think that the party who disagrees does not respect the dead, and then it turns out that the party who disagrees has character flaws, which will cause terrible harm to the country sooner or later, so they are directly sent to court and executed quickly. In order to avoid endless troubles.

What a bunch of retarded people...

Mo Li was speechless when he heard the man talking, especially when he saw that the man didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, he was extremely suffocated.

I really doubt that this guy lost his mind because of too many votes by the majority!

All in all, from the beginning until now, there have been almost 13065 majority votes.

"The last time should have been exactly a year ago..."

The man silently began to recall.

"At that time, only me, my beloved wife, and another person were left in this country. That was an old friend of mine who had been alone. We originally wanted the three of us to work together to support this country—but suddenly one day , my friend said he was going to leave this country, my wife and I have been trying hard to persuade him not to leave, but it is a pity that his evil will can no longer be changed. The guy really couldn't tolerate it, so he held a majority vote again and executed him personally with a two-to-one result."

The man wept silently.

Not long after, his wife also died of a serious illness. Although it was just a small cold, but because there are no doctors in this country, no matter how insignificant the disease is, they are helpless. The man can only watch his wife suffer from the illness. tortured until death.

"Thank you for telling us so much."

Looking at the man who was choking and crying, Kino nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and gave Moli a silent look.

"We should go too."

Saying that, he and Moli stood up at the same time, and walked towards Hermis.

"I'm the only one left in this prosperous country, and I'm really lonely." The man silently looked at the back of Kino leaving with Mo Li, and said suddenly, but Kino didn't pay attention to him, Instead, he just sat on Hermis’s body and prepared to start the engine when Moli came up, so the man who was still on the spot continued to say, “But sometimes, in order to accomplish righteous deeds, human beings must There is pain to bear, and the people living in this country have to face it."

The man stood up suddenly.

While talking, he approached Chino and his party who were ready to leave at any time.

"I hereby sincerely implore you to stay here as citizens of this country and let us rebuild the country together. How do you feel?"

"Sorry, I want to continue traveling."

"I really have no interest in this country~"

"Unnecessary"

Of course, Kino, Hermis and Mo Li directly refused without any hesitation in a very tacit understanding at the same time, and they didn't even give themselves time to think about it, and they answered directly subconsciously. The impression of this man and even this country is really not good.

Hearing this, the man's emotions plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Since the three of you all said that, then I have nothing to do..."

what?

three people?

In other words, does this guy still habitually vote in the majority at this moment?

Get sick!

Leaving aside who gave him the confidence to feel that such a dilapidated country is worth staying for travelers who pass by, let's take a step back and say that if two of Moli's three people really agree, and the other If the man expresses his unwillingness, then the next step for this man is to partner with the two who are willing to stay, and the one who is unwilling to stay will be sentenced to death by a direct majority vote?Anyway, Mo Li really didn't even bother to roll her eyes, and she was even more sure that this man was dying of illness. She thought so when she heard that the man executed the only remaining friend. After all, there were only three people left in the country, no matter how many votes were made. Is it going to let the country conjure up a bunch of citizens out of thin air to let you continue the game of majority voting?

But the man is obviously unwilling to give up easily.

"Otherwise, you stay here for a year first. After a year, you will definitely fall in love with this place and don't want to leave. What do you think?"

It's a pity that the two of them in one car unanimously refused.

"I don't think so."

"Oh~ I don't think so either~"

"Absolutely not"

Why do you have to stay here to play the majority voting game with him?

Seeing the firm attitude of Kino and his party, the man couldn't help becoming a little anxious, eager to stay with the rare traveler, so he persistently seduced: "Okay, okay, not for a year." , you just need to stay here for another week, during which time everything in this country is at your disposal!" However, such a country that has been almost destroyed has nothing worth being attached to by others, and even the place where you live is dilapidated Yes, Mo Li and the others are stupid to stay here!

"That, that..."

The man was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his own hair, which he didn't have much left.

"Can you just stay for three days? We can enjoy a sumptuous meal together, okay?"

It's a pity that this kind of dry proposal has no temptation at all. After all, a man lives such a sloppy life by himself, so how can he be expected to cook any big meals?Even Mo Li, a foodie, directly refused, and even because of the man's words, he suddenly felt that the very unpalatable dry food was not so unacceptable.

The man who abandoned all dignity was almost crying: "Please! As long as you are willing to live in this country, it doesn't matter if you treat me like a slave!"

"Please excuse me."

"I'm not interested in treating uncle like a slave~"
