In the beginning, everyone classified kings, kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons according to their bloodline. However, as the development progressed, people became more and more dissatisfied with bloodline.
Confucius hoped that nobles would fulfill their obligations and monarchs would also fulfill their responsibilities, but he asked everyone to exercise self-denial and consciously fulfill their obligations, which was naturally not possible.
Mencius hoped that everyone would follow the example of their ancestors and follow good standards. If they did not do well, they could replace them. He already had some thoughts of rebellion.
In Athens, it was Solon's reforms. Everyone did not distinguish between nobles and citizens. Everyone was a citizen, and status was only distinguished according to income. It seemed that everyone was the same, but some people were fairer. Later "1984" and "Animal Farm"
In fact, they all write about this situation, which is an inevitable problem that arises when replicating the Athenian system.
Cyberpunk is about the development of technology. On the surface, everyone is equal, but in fact, some people are more equal.
Those girls who have been deprived of their souls are all refugees and cannot be considered human beings. People are classified according to their property. The more annual income, the higher the status. The less the income, the lower the status. Refugees have no income. They thought they would come here.
When you arrive in an island country, you can enjoy equal treatment for everyone, but you don't realize that this country differentiates status according to property. If you don't have property, you will be expelled.
The reason why there are refugees is that the world has never been peaceful, and the war between countries and companies has never ended.
When there is a war, there will be refugees, and refugees will long for those heavens that promote equality for all.
The secret of Hanhua Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. is to use the soul of a refugee girl to pretend that it is a human-written intelligent program, making the robot's reaction infinitely close to that of a real person.
However, this behavior is illegal. The technology for stripping human souls is not yet mature and will cause permanent harm to the user.
During the investigation of Section 9, it was obvious that the boss was hiding something. Moreover, the boss hired killers to protect the factory and not let anyone get close, including law enforcement.
This makes the Nine Lessons even more certain that there is something fishy. The principle of the Nine Lessons is to use offense to make up for the investigation. Since the boss is hiding something like this, there must be a secret. Let’s fight first and then talk about it.
Section 9 has the authority to proactively use force.
So the battle began. People from Section 9 put on invisible optical camouflage combat uniforms, armed with automatic rifles, and launched an attack on the factory.
After rounding up the killer and arresting him, everyone entered the factory and saw the secrets inside. Each huge mechanical coffin contained teenage girls.
These girls have tubes inserted into their seven orifices and are kept alive by liquid food. They have mechanical helmets on their heads, and electronic signals are constantly extracting the souls from their brains.
"It seems that this is the truth of the new software. It illegally uses imperfect soul-stripping technology to imprison the soul in the machine." Bart said seriously.
"The out-of-control robot is the cry of the human soul." Togusa also said with emotion.
"This is the criminal we have to face." Kusanagi Motoko was very calm and had long been accustomed to this kind of darkness. She said, "In this era, we cannot change society, we have to adapt to society. Newcomers, how do you feel?" Just care.
Duran is on his first field trip.
Duran said: "I think they are very lucky. If they had not turned into rampaging robots, no one would care about them at all. Even if they died in an alley, no one would investigate. Because their souls entered the robot and attacked
Only rich people can attract the most elite team to investigate the case. They are very lucky. I think robots are not their prison, but their ladder."
"??" Everyone couldn't help but look at Dulan, feeling that Dulan's thoughts were too out of the ordinary.
"Their souls are permanently damaged, and they may become cripples or even mentally ill in the future." Although Bart is big, he is very emotional.
"So what? Look at yourselves, which body is intact? How can there be such a word as easy in the adult world? Everyone is risking their lives to gain status. Just because they are refugees, they can't just enjoy it without risking their lives.
Treatment, isn't it?" Duran said.
"We work so hard just to prevent these children from being harmed. If all the children become victims, what's the point of our efforts?" Togusa also couldn't agree with Duran's statement. "This is prejudice. You position yourself as a superior hero and deprive them of the right to be a hero. This is unfair. Everyone should always be prepared and ready to fight. Everyone has the right to fight.
, everyone has it.”
"Stop arguing. Our job is to solve cases, not to have meaningless quarrels." Motoko Kusanagi knew that this was a personal point of view and position. Everyone was different, and there would be no result in arguing.
This case is over, but there are others waiting for them.
Next is the case of missing orphans. Needless to say, someone is taking advantage of the children's souls. In a workhouse, every child has to work hard. If he has no strength, he is sent to work as a computer bricklayer, moving bricks in the computer.
.
"Togusa, what do you think of Duran?" Bart found Togusa, who was partnering with Dulan, and asked him what he thought of the newcomer.
"It's not good. His behavior is hard to understand. It's different from ordinary people. He's not hostile to the criminal's behavior, and he even approves of it," Togusa said.
"As expected, I also feel that Duran has an understanding and empathy for criminal behavior. If it is just empathy, that's it. It can also be said to be a 'criminal profile' that restores the crime scene, which is helpful for analyzing the case. But if it goes further
, that is, 'when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you', you may become a criminal. This Duran is a bit dangerous and needs extra attention."
"Do you want to remind the captain?"
"She must have discovered it. We just have to do our own thing."
Motoko Kusanagi did discover Dulan's anomaly, but she knew that this phenomenon did not mean that Dulan was a bad guy, because there is indeed a method of solving crimes in the police force, which is to assume the role of a criminal, analyze the case from the criminal's perspective, and find the criminal's clues.
Psychological motivation. Thinking like a criminal can reveal the criminal's behavioral logic, even criminal methods, and details such as how the criminal handles the murder weapon.
This ability called 'profiling' can indeed make people slip into the abyss. If Dulan behaves excessively, she will talk to him.
The second case was the missing child case in the workhouse. Section 9 monitored it again and divided it into two parts. One part was sneaking in invisibly, and the other part was monitoring from the outside.
Duran and Togusa were still watching outside.
"Taking action on the children again." Togusa could not accept this criminal behavior, because he was also a father and could not bear to see his children suffer.
There are a lot of orphans in the orphanage. They are required to work every day. If they can't do it anymore, they are thrown into computer equipment for various experiments to squeeze out the last value.
These children are not refugees, but nationals. Their parents are islanders, and they were also islanders when they were born, but they still did not enjoy treatment because their parents were dead.
Duran said: "In ancient times, people were born unequal, but religion proposed equality after death. However, with the development of science and technology, people are not only unequal while alive, but also after death. Back to before the promotion of religion
In this era, you were a noble when you were alive, you will still be a noble after you die, you are a slave when you are alive, you will still be a slave after you die. This is the most beautiful era of ancient Athens, and also the era of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it is so beautiful."
Religion was progressive in ancient times. It did not oppose inequality during life, but it proposed equality after death.
But with the development of science and technology, religion will also be disintegrated, because there is no inequality in life, and there will be no inequality in death. Human beings have built a cyber digital space where souls can live, and souls will also be divided into three, six, and nine levels.
Unless you die, you won’t enter the digital space. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter whether you enter or not. By then, you won’t even have the right to die.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Togusa couldn't agree and said: "We are talking about modern times, what ancient times are you talking about?"
