The scary-sounding word of the death penalty successfully deterred the young students.
"If a person commits a serious crime that is so serious that it has an irreversible and vicious impact on the entire nation, the military tribunal has the right to sentence him to death. This is the highest punishment in our country's laws, but because the conditions of the sentence are also very harsh, there are already No one has been sentenced to death for many years, and the military's intention is to hope that the death penalty will be completely abolished in the near future."
"Isn't this building going to be scrapped?"
"Not really..." Yaotai hesitated for a while. "Actually, there is another use here, which is euthanasia. Maybe it's because Tiansu people don't really die. People don't cherish their lives like other species. Someone took the initiative to walk in here and demand an early end to their lives."
The students looked at each other, "Why?"
"Because of the death of the other half, many widowed Tiansu people are unwilling to live alone," Yaotai looked at the death room with complex eyes, "they believe that if they die within a similar time, they will enter reincarnation together, wake up together, and meet again. , fell in love..."
Ling Xiao was also fascinated, "What about the facts?"
"The fact is that when the soul passes through the purification pool, the memory of the previous life disappears. After the reincarnation, the appearance and personality are randomly generated. From head to toe, it will be a brand new life, which has nothing to do with the previous life. Let alone every soul. The length of sleep varies, and even if they die at the same time, they may not wake up at the same time. In the vast sea of people, finding someone who has been forgotten and falling in love again, such a seemingly beautiful wish, is no different from a fool's dream. "
"So scientists are the most unromantic creatures in the world," Lan Sheng sighed. "Not even the last bit of beautiful vision is left to people."
"I'm curious about who Dr. Yao's other half is. If she is a rigid scientist like her, how boring it would be for these two to be together all day," Ling Xiao also secretly chewed his tongue.
"You guys," Ping Zong was angry and funny, "Do you believe that if you die at the same time in this life, you can meet again in the next life?"
"I don't believe it," Lan Sheng said solemnly, "One lifetime is one lifetime. I know exactly what you look like in this lifetime, your character, and the way you are, all of which are what I like in this life. But what will you look like in the next life? Appearance, what kind of person he is, who he is with, is an unimaginable future for me. So I will not pin my hopes on the illusory afterlife. If you are unfortunate in this life and you leave me first, I will also I will live alone with the feeling of missing you."
The two stared at each other affectionately, and everything around them was reduced to the background.
"You two, if you don't get tired of it in one day, you will die," Ling Xiao exaggeratedly rubbed his arms, "If you don't both sacrifice for love, I'll be numb to death by both of you."
"Go away," Lan Sheng scolded with a smile, and finally stepped out of the state of showing affection. They passed through the death penalty chamber, passed through a series of buildings such as the medical examination center and the security inspection center, and finally arrived at the center of the visit - the Temple of Reincarnation.
Ling Xiao originally thought that the place named after this name should be a temple with a strong religious atmosphere, but after arriving, he found out that it was actually an ultra-modern venue with all kinds of high-tech instruments on display. The white decoration style is like a hospital and a research institute. The venue is so big that people can't see the edge at a glance.
The management staff of the institute has been waiting for the students at the entrance of the main hall. He is gentle and personable, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a pair of light-colored eyes under the lenses. He is smiling all the time.
Yaotai took the lead and walked over, and exchanged a light kiss with the other party in full view of the audience. The students' eyes widened in shock. What kind of strange etiquette is this
"Let me introduce to you, this is my spouse and the chief researcher here. You can call him Dr. Zhishang."
The classmates couldn't close their mouths for a long time, especially Ling Xiao and Lan Sheng. They had just finished talking about other people's gossip. In the blink of an eye, the person concerned stood indifferently and elegantly at the present. .
Zhishang and Yaotai, who is wearing high heels, are almost the same height. Their eyes are dark and light, and they can recognize each other's identities at a glance.
"Hello, classmates," Zhi Shang nodded politely at everyone, "Welcome to the base for a visit, I am honored to be the tour guide today, and I will be responsible for explaining the next tour of the main hall."
The students' curiosity about gossip at this moment is obviously much higher than that of the Reincarnation Hall. Doctor Zhishang, who looks friendly, is quickly surrounded by three layers of people.
"Doctor, it turns out that you are Doctor Yao's Qizi. This is the first time I heard that Doctor Yao's Qizi is a doctor from an academy!"
"You guys look so good together, I've always wondered what a beautiful woman like Dr. Yao looks like, and the real person didn't disappoint me!"
Zhi Shang always had a smile on his face, and patiently answered any questions from the students. Those who could not answer, he smiled lightly, without showing any impatience.
In contrast, Yaotai didn't have such a good temper, "Hey, it's a visit to the physical health class now, can't you ask some questions about the course?"
"We are asking relevant questions, isn't it related to physical health to understand Qizi's work and life?"
"That's right," someone immediately echoed, "I always thought that Qizi would be in a lower position at work, so when I heard that the doctor was the chief researcher here, I was really shocked!"
After listening to her words, everyone agreed.
Zhi Shang smiled, "Did Ayao scare you again with the remarks about the hierarchy between spouses? Although there may be an unequal relationship between the deed master and the deed child, everyone is equal in the whole society. For other contract owners, I am no less humble than them, and I have many researchers who are contract owners, and they obey me in their work.”
"So that's how it is," the student patted his chest and sighed, "It really scared me to death. I thought that becoming a Qizi would even affect my future work."
"Your concerns are not entirely wrong. After all, the deed masters are generally stronger than the deeds in terms of combat effectiveness, so in some combat fields, the number of deed masters accounts for the vast majority, but in other aspects, everyone competes on an equal footing. Isn't the principal the best example?"
After he said this, everyone realized that the principal himself was a deed. I recall the shocking scene where the principal demolished half of the teaching building with one punch in order to arrest several senior students who violated school rules. Everyone present witnessed it with their own eyes. With this kind of fighting power, students couldn't associate him with Qizi at all, and he was as deceptive as his baby face.
"Gosh, I really can't imagine who actually won the headmaster at the bar mitzvah."
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded desperately in horror.
"That's not what you little bastards need to worry about," Yaotai dismissed their thoughts angrily.
"Dr. Yao is so fierce, does he always bully you, Doctor?" a student asked secretly.
"Yeah, at home, Dr. Yao is the master of everything, right? But it seems that the owner of the contract has the final say."
"Doctor, after all, you were a boy and she was a girl. How could you not beat her?"
Zhi Shang smiled before answering, "I can't beat her, I voluntarily sacrificed my heart and willingly became her pawn."
Many of the students looked confused, "Ah? Why?"
"Because I love her, as long as I can be with her, I don't care in what capacity," he replied lightly.
"However, it doesn't mean that the status of the deed master and the deed child is very different. Even if you love someone again, how can you be willing to be at the mercy of them all your life?"
Zhi Shang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "I don't think that after we form a spouse relationship, our status is very different. Ayao and I were childhood sweethearts, we fell in love when we were three years old, and we got together when we were eleven years old. , what kind of relationship was before, and it's still the same after that. I always respect her, and of course she always respects me, the level difference you imagine... Maybe there is, but at least it doesn't exist between us."
"It's so romantic," a girl listened fascinatedly, "It turns out that it can be like this."
"The relationship between the deed master and the deed child is actually like this. It may have a very cruel influence, but it may be just a fiction. As long as the two people's hearts are equal, their identities are equal, no matter what the relationship between them is."
"Wow," everyone sighed in unison, "As expected of a couple, Dr. Yao also said exactly the same thing."
Zhishang and Yaotai looked at each other and smiled, as if they had expected such a result.
"Doctor," Zhu Yue, who had been with Ying Feng outside the crowd, suddenly said, "Have you ever regretted your sacrifice of your heart?"
Zhi Shang shook his head firmly, "Never for a moment."
"Even at the expense of his own development?" he asked.
Zhi Shang looked down at himself in confusion, "I'm very satisfied with my development, not to mention," he turned his head and smiled and looked at Yaotai, "Someone can have a more charming curve because of this. It's pleasing to the eye, isn't it?"
Zhuyue clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind when she heard his words. A group of children began to make strange noises. Yaotai squinted at Zhishang. His lips revealed a smile that was hidden in his eyes.
"Okay," Zhishang cleared his throat exaggeratedly, "Let's get down to business, your doctor Yao won't be happy if we go further. Occasionally, I still have to pretend to be afraid of my deed master, right?"
The students were deeply impressed by the charm of Zhishang in a relatively short period of time, and then they listened carefully to whatever he said.
"It must have been introduced to everyone by Ayao outside. After the body of Tiansu people died, the soul returned to this place through the guidance of the lighthouse, and arrived here after the baptism of the purification pool."
Zhishang led the crowd all the way to the operating console, pressed the control button, and the sealed compartment of one of the instruments opened, revealing the glass cover inside. There, a boy was sleeping, the difference from the others was that his body Translucent.
"The instrument that everyone sees now is what we call an energy chamber. We place the returning soul in the energy chamber, and after a period of training, the soul becomes human. The initial transparency is very high, slow Slowly it will settle down, and when it becomes an entity like you and me, it is the day when the soul wakes up, and this stage varies from person to person, usually it takes ten to twenty years."
"How long does it take?"
"Compared to the life of Tiansu people, it is already very short. The general embryonic period of Tiansu people is ten years, and the lifespan of adults is quite different. Some people can only survive for one or two hundred years, while others do not. It can live to three or four hundred years, and according to the current research results, the more harmonious the relationship between the spouses, the longer the lifespan of both parties."
"The spousal relationship is crucial for every celestial being, and only intimate partners will be fully developed. If they are voluntarily or forced to be separated from their spouse before they are fully developed, whether it is the master or the child , Although he is already an adult in terms of identity, he will still maintain his baby body and appearance."
"Development after adulthood is not infinite, there is a peak value for each person, once this value is reached, the body stops developing and maintains this state - also what we call the optimal state - until nominal death, Not going backwards, not getting old.”
"But no matter how long a celestial being lives, as long as it is normal, he will have a prediction before the end of his life. Because we are a race that does not die, we are not afraid of death, and even put It is regarded as a ceremony worth celebrating. Before the deadline, everyone will gather friends for a final reunion, and sometimes they will escort the dying in groups to come here, waiting for the deadline to come.”
"Will anyone come back here after death?"
Naoshang shook his head regretfully, "That's not the case. There is a group of people whose death is regarded as unfit to survive in society and should be eliminated by the mechanism of survival of the fittest. Once such a person sacrifices, they will lose their souls and never again. not exist in this world."
Everyone hurriedly asked, "What kind of person is that?"
Zhi Shang looked at these students with caring eyes, "It's you, all the babies who haven't had a coming-of-age ceremony."
