Upon hearing this, Xia Li, who was taking pictures at the entrance of the park, blinked slightly.
"I don't know. Why do you ask?"
Although his expression didn't change much, Zhu Yuyan's female intuition told herself: He was hiding something.
"No...nothing. Just ask."
Zhu Yuyan naturally knew that it was impossible for Xia Li to believe such nonsense.
Xia Li glanced at a restaurant next to the park.
"Since we're here, let's have a casual meal together."
…
"Girl group? Or the most popular girl group recently? They are all on death row!"
At that time, Xia Li was still studying computer science at university. He never imagined that one day, Death Row Prisoners would be packaged as an idol group to debut.
"Isn't the appearance of capital's food too ugly?" Xia Li looked at the latest idol girl group "Spicy Girl" broadcast on TV. There is no doubt that these five women have been sentenced to death, with crimes ranging from murder to drug trafficking.
, are all unpardonable crimes. Lucia, who served as the group leader, once killed many men with guns and cut their bodies into pieces.
Xia Li's father, Xia Liheng, was also furious: "What kind of entertainment company with no bottom line actually signed a contract with a death row prisoner?"
After the promulgation of the new criminal law, photos of new death row inmates will be posted on the entire Internet for identification by all citizens. Citizens only need to download a government app and scan the face of others to confirm whether they are death row inmates.
However, after the full release of the photos of death row prisoners, something strange happened. Some of them with extremely outstanding looks actually became popular on the Internet, and fan clubs were quickly formed. The best among them are Xiao Tianyi and Lucia.
Xia Li couldn't understand it rationally at the time. These people were all death row inmates who had committed unforgivable crimes, and more than 70% of them had lives on their hands. If the death row inmates suspected of being unjustly guilty had fans, he could understand it, but...
This time, DW Entertainment directly dispatched a large number of bodyguards to pick up the five most popular female death row inmates on the Internet in bulletproof vehicles at the prison gate. They quickly carried out public relations packaging, singing and dancing training, and then quickly announced their debut as a group.
At that time, the five female prison idols dominated all social networks because of their appearance and popularity, and countless fans supported them. Advertising was carried out continuously in subways, bus stations, and shopping malls on big screens, and will soon be held in Los Angeles.
The first concert tour.
"We insisted on the death penalty system at that time, how could it become like this?" Xia Liheng looked at the comments online. This operation indeed caused great disgust among the public. However, the tickets for this idol group's first concert have been completely sold out.
"Are protest groups useless?" Xia Li's mother said anxiously: "This will bring great bad guidance to young people!"
"The Internet has been almost completely criticized." Xia Li looked at the various fandom operations on his mobile phone and said: "Lucia has received twelve endorsements including popular games, cars and computer brands. Currently, regardless of online
Both offline and online sales figures are impressive.”
"Other entertainment companies are already considering imitating it. However, currently protest groups are searching everywhere for Xiao Tianyi and other equally popular death row inmates, hoping to kill them first."
Xia Li picked up the remote control and changed to a news station.
Then, the news anchor started broadcasting the news.
"Today, the Kaffir jewelry store in downtown Los Angeles was robbed by three armed thugs. The three thugs were all death row inmates who were released after the promulgation of the new criminal law. When the police arrived at the scene, they could only watch the thugs taking the jewelry directly from them.
They left the store and could not arrest them."
According to the new version of the criminal law, only ordinary citizens who do not have any public office have the right to carry out any behavior on death row prisoners, including killing, that is prohibited by the criminal law. However, as long as they are civil servants in the regular government establishment, they can only carry out actions on death row prisoners for the purpose of protecting themselves.
Justifiable defense, even defense for the purpose of protecting property, is not allowed.
Then, the news began to broadcast a large number of protest groups dissatisfied with the new criminal law of the United States of America, and confrontations between groups who supported the new law.
"Oppose the new law! The government of the United States indulges the crimes of death row prisoners!"
"The new law can reflect the spirit of the rule of law in a democratic country! The state has no power to deprive citizens of their lives, only citizens have the right to make decisions!"
Xia Li watched the magical scene on TV. Where will the United States go?
Who benefits the most from the exile of death row prisoners?
Soon Xia Li found the answer.
That's the arms dealer.
Almost all people in the United States of Chia own guns. As long as they are over 18 years old and have no criminal record, they can purchase guns. After the promulgation of the new law, the firepower of the weapons allowed for private sales has been further upgraded, and the stock prices of arms companies have continued to soar.
At the same time, bounty hunters whose profession is to hunt down prisoners have emerged in society, and families of victims are willing to pay large sums of money to hire bounty hunters to hunt down prisoners. In contrast, unjust human rights groups have received investment from the lawsuit groups behind them.
It is specifically responsible for protecting death row inmates who are considered to have been wronged. These death row inmates can frequently go on TV recordings to state that they have been wronged, increase the number of supporters of the new law, and earn a lot of money from advertising fees.
The pressure on social security has not changed much, because the crime rate in the United States of America is already among the highest in the world. In communities where the rich live, no one dares to stroke their beards. In the vast slums and middle-class communities, the situation has only changed.
It's just more confusing.
In this country today, no one dares to go out without carrying firearms and bullets.
"Is Weishu still unjustly accusing human rights groups?" Xia Li's mother asked about Xia Li's fiancée Shen Weishu, whose family is also a member of the Legislative Yuan.
Xia Li nodded: "She has always insisted on the abolition of the death penalty in order to protect the wrongly convicted. The basis is that illegal evidence collection procedures are too common in our country's litigation process. Her group is supported by some large law firms. Of course she does not
I agree with the new law and think it tramples on the human rights of death row prisoners."
"What will this country...become like..."
…
…
Xia Li took his mobile phone, pointed at the comic, and said "what will this country...be like..." as "himself".
"That's what you want to ask me, right?"
At this time, Xia Li and Zhu Yuyan were sitting in a restaurant not far from the entrance of Qingtian Park.
Zhu Yuyan looked at the cartoon in front of her, then looked at Xia Li in front of her, and immediately said: "You, you probably have a personal relationship with the cartoonist, and she is based on you..."
"Yes, I am Xia Li in this comic."
Xia Li pointed to "himself" in the comic and said categorically: "Of course, I'm not an evil spirit, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enter the apartment, right? But I hope you keep it secret. On the contrary, I will give you everything you want.
you."
Zhu Yuyan's eyes widened, she subconsciously picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water.
"You really... how is it possible that you really came from the second dimension to the third dimension? Could it be that the apartment brought you to the real world?"
Xia Li shook his head.
"I don't know. I came to the real world because I entered the Walled City of Baator for the first time. However, the author did not draw it in the comics."
"Isn't this incredible?"
Zhu Yuyan still felt a little confused.
"From the perspective of the apartment, I think it is reasonable. I will not describe in detail how I came to the real world."
"What was it like when you first discovered that you were a two-dimensional character in a comic book?"
"It's ridiculous. My life is just drawn by a cartoonist's pen. But I soon accepted the reality. First of all, the author is Chinese, so although the United States of Chia is based on real European and American countries, the language is
Chinese."
"Oh, yes……"
"I'm lucky that the languages can communicate with each other. Most of the common sense of life is the same, and the science knowledge is completely the same. The only difference is that there are no laws and substances named by Newton, Galileo and Roentgen. So I only need to learn history, geography,
Religious and other cultural knowledge.”
"What's your ID?"
"I have my own way. Although it does take some time."
After Zhu Yuyan thought for a while, she said: "You were not accused by Dong Xie of being an evil spirit on that island? You should have the best understanding of the real world..."
"I will absorb a little bit of any knowledge. Just like people, knowledge has no distinction between high and low."
