"Potential offender?"
This unfamiliar term made him stop his movements.
During his half-year human life, Lin Huai loved to learn the legal common sense necessary to survive in human society through moral observation, law-enhancing films and other law popularization programs, and to formulate an effective cover-up or escape plan for his possible future crimes... Cough, it should be a warning to myself to restrain my emotions.
In those columns, he saw the arsonist who robbed the family property of the beautiful child bride, the ex-doctor who turned into a qigong master and then the fraudster, and the pineapple headgear who broke up with his boyfriend with big buttocks and gave a speech in Paris, France. Forced criminals... But the only thing he hadn't heard of was potential criminals.
It was a very strange room he was in. However, it would be extremely inappropriate to call it a room. The place is too small and too close together for a room. A bed and a few books already occupy more than half of the room than Wang Feng's talent... In terms of size, it is more like a small cage than a room. The ceiling, floor and one wall are sealed by a white soft bag, while the other three sides... are floor-to-ceiling glass.
Lin Huai has seen a room completely wrapped in soft bags in movies. They are soft, elastic, and tough, and can effectively slow down the impact of collisions. Most of them are used to imprison mental patients with strong aggressive or self-harm tendencies. The corset on Lin Huai's body and the collar around his neck also seemed to reveal to him the fact that "I am now a mentally ill being under severe surveillance". However, the three glass walls in front of me are really confusing.
It doesn't look like something used for ventilation and light transmission. On the contrary, it is more like the display column on the side of the pedestrian street, the beautiful window on the Champs Elysees, the display case that wraps the smile of the Mona Lisa. Lin Huai in a corset, together with this white and pure background, is one of the exquisite exhibits.
Through the glass, Lin Huai could see that near him, there were many small rooms that were exactly the same as the place he was in. Roughly speaking, there were ten of them in total. In each room, there is also a person similar to him, either standing or sitting, wearing the same white tight-fitting straitjacket. They are tall or short, fat or thin, some are mature and steady middle-aged people, some are children with their heads spinning. Some are white men, some are black women, each is different.
Most of these prisoners have good faces, with silver collars around their necks and a certain number marked on their bodies. What they each have in the small room is a bed, or fitness equipment, or painting tools, or a computer. Their faces were dull, or they were leaning on the treadmill in a daze, or they were sitting by the easel with their heads down, holding a paintbrush full of lake blue paint in their hands.
They're not like humans, they're not like animals, they're like...
Furniture, or works of art, objects without souls together form part of the picture.
... For some reason, Lin Huai's back felt a chill.
This chill is so strong. It was better than a meeting with a demon, better than blood and screams.
Many rooms are neatly arranged in a corridor. Many cameras on the wall of the corridor flashed red light, constantly patrolling, otherwise the light was dim. The luminous clock at the top shows "8:00". In addition, there seemed to be a metal plaque hanging beside the wooden door deep in the corridor. Lin Huai squinted her eyes, but couldn't see clearly what was written on it.
The end on the other side is covered by a red curtain, making it impossible to see the contents.
It was so quiet, so quiet... He could even hear his own breathing.
He was not in a hurry to speak, but walked around the small room, looking for more clues about his situation.
In addition to himself, there is a soft cot and many books and pictorials in the room. Paper materials are scattered on the ground in a mess-if this statement is not clear enough, then this analogy can be used: if a dung beetle is setting up the game scene, it is definitely not a Virgo, can Get out the dung beetle with the round shit.
He squatted down and picked up a red book from among the many materials.
"This looks the most expensive..." he thought.
The cover of the hard shell of the book is decorated with cursive letters in English and bronzing. It just looks like an extravagant capitalism. Its content is also quite capitalist, translated into only four words, it reads: God loves the world.
'God created man to teach him to be good. However, some people carry the gene of original sin... We use law to punish evil and morality to restrain evil, but we never think about eliminating the existence of evil from human nature...'
"These are some things with unclear sentences..." Lin Huai lost interest after turning a few pages. He didn't have the obsessive-compulsive disorder and curiosity to read a whole book like some male protagonists with the surname, but turned the book to the catalog page in a grandiose manner.
The table of contents of the book divides the whole book into three parts. The first part talks about the importance of morality, the second part tells about the dominating role that the human mind should play over the body, and the third part tells about a perfect society constructed under the condition that everyone has a high standard of morality .
After flipping through this little red book, he started to read other messy pictorials. The title of the pictorial is "New Entertainment Weekly", and it is published every week. The latest one is marked with the time: Xinshi 501.
In addition to reports on daily life and current technology, the pictorial also tells a long story of a man's heroic deeds. The reporter called this man "the light of the greenhouse", claiming that "he illuminated the dark greenhouse that has been plagued by crime and murder for a long time like a beacon, making it possible for crimes and wars to no longer occur, and freeing the world of new humans plagued by crime and evil."
The appearance of the man in the photo is indeed worthy of the name of "the light of the greenhouse". He has a pair of emerald eyes, shining with the light of wisdom. And on the top of his head, which symbolizes wisdom, there is also wise and soft brown medium-length hair...
"Doctor, wearing glasses, a medical company, giving a speech... It's a collection of the necessary elements of an American drama villain, not to mention that he has such sparse hair, which shows that his doctorate must be real, at least he is a person who can speak An intermediate boss who dies after five minutes of lines..." Lin Huai squatted on the ground, rummaged through with unprecedented patience, and screened out all the reports related to Dr. Lucier.
The first reports came a year ago. The report mentioned that Dr. Lucier invented a brand-new treatment method, and claimed to be able to "cure" potential criminals—that is, through genetic testing and other methods, those who have been identified as future criminals since the age of twelve and have strong criminal characteristics inclined human beings.
Here, the newspaper divided a block of tofu and described in detail the origin of the definition of potential offenders.
It turns out that it is the 501st year of the new calendar. Thousands of years ago, the world war broke out. Under the continuous nuclear attack, the world was reduced to a cold wasteland. Countless survivors were mutated under the influence of nuclear radiation and died tragically.
In order to resist the cold weather and pervasive radiation from the outside world, the surviving humans used new technologies many years later to establish a huge city-state underground, managed by thirteen consuls, and their powers decreased from the first consul to the thirteenth consul. . It is called "Greenhouse", or, by lovers of ancient mythology, "Utopia".
The date of completion of all "greenhouses" is set as the first year of the new calendar. Since then, the ever-changing technological means have greatly improved the productivity of the "greenhouse". They set up a large number of solar energy recovery panels on the surface of the earth. Under the new technology, the energy recovery rate of solar energy is as high as 90%. The great abundance of materials and the increasing development of science and technology have raised the living standards of new humans to unprecedented heights.
However, the struggle among human beings will not decrease due to the lack of materials or the harsh environment, nor will it disappear due to the increase of materials and the improvement of the environment. Maybe it's because of the lack of sunlight, maybe it's because the blue sky and white clouds can only be seen on the electronic screen, maybe the inventors let the human beings eat too much... They quickly united from the very beginning to build the underground world, and became slack, Depraved and "since you want to seek excitement, then follow through to the end". As the threshold of excitement increases, movies, games, books... Traditional entertainment methods are becoming more and more difficult to stimulate their senses. Therefore, people begin to seek new stimuli and lose control. Through their own wisdom and hardworking hands, the underground greenhouse became-
Popcorn City, New York City, Gotham City.
The thirteen consuls in the greenhouse were very distressed by this phenomenon. They tried every means to punish the criminals severely, but the sparse population of the greenhouse could no longer withstand too much trouble. At this time, the Thirteenth Consul discovered the concept of born criminals while reading the ancient earth books.
In the ancient earth era, an Italian criminologist named Lombroso pointed out that there is such a criminal who has some inherent characteristics or factors that are different from normal people in terms of physiology, psychology or physique. This determines that the crime of such a person is natural and inevitable, that is, a born criminal. After repeatedly studying the crimes that occurred in the greenhouse in recent years, they quickly confirmed this conjecture without evidence, and believed that genes and heredity did play a huge role in crime. What's more, after the implementation of the policy of misdemeanor and heavy punishment, a crime observation system that will make people into watches has been established (*From the famous line of "poi", you are being watched, its Google translation is: You are being made into watches) After being combined with the potential criminal judgment system, the crime rate in the greenhouse has indeed dropped significantly, so these several systems are bundled together into a big gift package and rolled out to the whole greenhouse...
After all, it really works!
"... What a ghost! Obviously, the consuls in the greenhouse era didn't do chemical experiments, and they didn't even design a control group. What kind of independent variable experiment is this!!"
At first, the classification of potential offenders only took place after they turned eighteen, and later, the technique was carried forward. Every child born in the greenhouse will be screened at the age of twelve, including genetics, behavioral habits and other aspects. Children who pass the screening can live as civilized people, while those who fail the screening and have a high crime coefficient are judged as potential criminals and sent to nursing centers to spend their days as aliens, lonely and discriminated against. The rest of my life. Of course, the greenhouse is still very kind. They just put this group of people in a mental hospital, but they still provide them with food, and use unobstructed Internet and entertainment to give them the illusion of being well cared for.
But where there is oppression, there is resistance. In addition to the moderates who constantly express doubts about the theory of born criminals, there are also potential criminals who are the most oppressed. After all, they were born without doing any bad things, but they are forced to be imprisoned for unwarranted charges and suffer for a lifetime, which is much better than some anti-heroine novels where women who have persecuted delusions before doing anything. The heroine who robbed the golden finger and sold it into a brothel and died of a willow disease is still wronged...Two hundred years ago, led by a potential criminal imprisoned in a nursing home, all the potential criminals set off a big rebellion that swept the entire greenhouse—finally, They almost lifted the ground and fled to the outside world.
It's a pity that their leader disappeared at a critical moment, and many potential criminals were arrested and brought to justice. This incident proved that they were indeed violent and cruel, and they were purged even more brutally. Faced with this tragic scene, a reporter whose life's mission is to attract attention ran out waving his pen. He pointed out: "This tragedy is not a distortion of human nature, nor is it a loss of morality—because people who are born criminals should not be human, do they have the right? We let them survive tolerantly, and feed them. Good enough. They are essentially a herd of beasts, a herd of domestic animals!"
Although his speech was too extreme, it was still recognized by many people. The so-called potential criminals thus lose their rights as human beings. Before the age of twelve, like other children, they run freely, live happily, and have the most beautiful yearning and brightest future. After the age of twelve, a flimsy test sheet decided their fate. They were taken away from their families by the institution, imprisoned in dark cells, and labeled as "potential criminals". From then on, they became monsters who could not see the sun...
However, year after year, the number of potential criminals has increased significantly, and the supply of nursing homes and medical centers for detaining potential criminals is in short supply. Therefore, some people clamored: "Why do you want these dregs of society to occupy society's resources? Wouldn't it be enough to just kill them all?"
However, killing them all directly is of course not acceptable. First, this is contrary to the "humanitarian" proposition of Greenhouse Express. Second, the bloody killing is bound to bring about a huge backlash, causing the past to repeat itself... At this time, Dr. Lucier appeared.
He is not a psychologist, on the contrary, he is a Ph.D. in media studies and biology. He claims that he can treat potential offenders so that they can integrate well into society and refrain from any violent behavior. No one knows what this doctor, who is famous for studying Pavlov’s dogs, talked with the Conservatory Consul. In short, the Conservatory Consul said that the largest sanatorium in the conservatory—the Rama Sanatorium would be used as an experimental base for Lucier to carry out Research, to transform potential criminals into normal human beings with normal rights as soon as possible, and reduce the burden on nursing homes.
When she saw "Pavlov's dog", Lin Huai tapped her forehead.
"Pavlov's dog . . . conditioned by repetition?" he mused.
Thinking of this, he stroked his hair and turned to the next page.
The second report came from half a year ago, and the content of the headline was extremely sensational - "He succeeded!".
