Chapter 322: Maintaining the Hypocrisy in My Heart

Xu Ying did not let go of the not-so-friendly question that flashed by, and she spoke out the doubts in her heart truthfully: "Who is the person who carried out the execution?"

"It's someone from the research institute. Who exactly it is depends on the stationmasters. Soldiers always have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. It's just that the battlefield this time is very small, and their opponents are completely defenseless, so they will be safe."

Zhao Yuxi didn't know who was the person who carried out the execution.

The decree has just been announced, and it is not time to execute the execution yet. Maybe those station owners have not made a decision yet, maybe those who want to execute the execution have not made up their minds yet, but as they defend their dignity more and more, as they turn the wheel more and more, some of them will definitely take that step.

By then, they may not have done it to enforce the law or to protect the dignity of others. These reasons are not enough to support them from being warriors to being executioners, nor are they enough to make them imagine the city as a battlefield and the people being beheaded as enemies.

They did this for other reasons and purposes. To put it nicely, they did it out of a sense of justice. No one wants their dignity to be trampled on, and they will not show mercy to those who have trampled on the dignity of others many times.

On the other hand, no one wants to suffer losses by trampling on the dignity of others, so when faced with people who have received rewards many times, they will not show mercy, and they will consciously regard these people as evil people. Moreover, it is written in the decree that people who receive rewards 200 times and those who pay rewards 200 times have a chance of being executed immediately, which is the basis for their practice of "justice".

"When that day comes, they will take the initiative to become the ones who carry out the execution in order to maintain the hypocrisy in their hearts."

Xu Ying was shocked by the phrase "maintaining the hypocrisy in one's heart". Zhao Yuxi could say this, did she realize her mistake? But would she change? Would she take back the decree that had already been issued? Not likely.

"People are all defending hypocrisy, so who will defend true kindness?" Xu Ying wanted to use this to remind Zhao Yuxi not to do this again. She probably won't correct the mistakes she has made, but if she can make one less mistake because of this sentence, then this sentence still has meaning.

"You and people like you should uphold the true kindness." As she spoke, Zhao Yuxi stared into Xu Yingze's eyes and their emotions. She was using her perception, and at this moment, this sentence was enough to judge true kindness and hypocrisy.

How would a truly kind person react to hearing this? What kind of response would he give? How would a hypocritical person react? What response would he give? Maybe their responses would be the same, but their reactions would definitely be very different.

It takes courage to admit that what you defend is hypocrisy. It also takes courage to admit that what you defend is truth and goodness. She showed the first kind of courage, and she wanted to see the second kind of courage in Xu Yingze, but she didn't dare to have too high expectations. She was afraid that she would be disappointed, and she was afraid that she would not dare to face the "power" that she didn't have.

Xu Yingze's heart was in turmoil. She once thought that her little classmate was more suitable to "become" justice than she was. Now, someone recognized her "kindness". This unexpected and sudden praise made her feel overwhelmed.

What's more, the person who said this was Zhao Yuxi, who could see people's emotions and see through the truth and lies. This made her even more embarrassed and she didn't know how to respond.

Mu Zhengguang tilted his head and whispered in her ear: "There are many people like us." Mu Zhengguang knew that Ying was in a dilemma: With our personalities, we can admit good and evil, but we will not do too much for good and evil. How others choose has nothing to do with us. How we choose is what really matters. In this case, let's push the responsibility of maintaining truth and goodness to others. Aren't there many people like us? Let them be the main force, and we just need to help within our ability.

Xu Ying felt relieved. She raised her voice and repeated what her classmate said: "There are many people like us."

Both sentences are true. Zhao Yuxi got the answer she wanted: the person who can say this sentence is at least willing to choose truth and goodness. There are many people like you, but are they hiding too well? Hiding among ordinary people, so that I don’t see them?

After a brief silence, Zhao Yuxi talked about the decree again: "I gave those people 200 chances. After using up the 200 chances, there is a chance that they will be executed immediately, but at this time they still have a chance to mend their ways. They have used up their chances and still do not repent. Do you think I should forgive them in this case? In this case, can they represent evil? Have they become the embodiment of evil? 200 chances are enough to distinguish between good and evil."

Xu Yingze's heart was still churning. Zhao Yuxi's words sounded very nice. Although she used questions, those questions seemed to have clear answers, and it seemed that everyone would give the same answer. If they still don't repent after using up their chances, in this case, there is no need to forgive them. They can represent evil, they are the embodiment of evil. Most people would think so.

Xu Ying thought she was no exception. And the little classmate sitting on her right was no exception. Zhao Yuxi gave these people 200 chances. Besides Zhao Yuxi, there will be others who will give them more chances, because not every time dignity is trampled on, it will be counted.

Increasing the number of times by 200 in one year, such a person is enough to represent evil, but is the evil in them enough to cause death? Why use such an absolute means to solve the problem? Why is Zhao Yuxi not so absolute to the ancients, the medievals, and the recent ancients? Maybe her purpose is not wrong, but why is her method so horrifying? Doesn't she know the disaster buried in the decree?
No, she knew there was trouble in the decree! She also knew that what she was defending was hypocrisy! But she just wanted to do it! What made her make this choice might be her own past, or she might have seen other people's past. These pasts made her feel that although hypocrisy was not a good thing, it was better than evil. As long as all evil was eliminated, it would not be far from a beautiful new world.

She has always chosen this! She has always done this! Arson, bombing, memorial service, press conference. In her eyes, life can be destroyed at will! She has completely different, even opposite goals from me and us.

"Do you think it's too cruel to let the people from the institute carry out the execution? There is a solution. Those illegal medieval and recent ancient people are more suitable for this. I will let the people in the institute spin the dial in advance and write down the results. When the number of people executed by execution recorded by them reaches a certain level, they will notify those who need to atone for their crimes."

After a long silence, Zhao Yuxi felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right.

"President Zhao Yuxi, if you find that the decree is not effective after a month, will you withdraw it?"

This question! Student Mu Zhengguang actually asked this question! Xu Ying cheered him on with joy.

Zhao Yuxi replied calmly: "If the effect is not good, then change it again."
