For the weak, "retribution" is their last hope to go on the road with peace of mind after being bullied, and of course, it can also be said that this is the "anesthetic" imagined by the weak in order to comfort themselves.

For the strong, "retribution" is just a joke, a weak person to maintain the last self-esteem of Ah Q emoji, when the strong are in full swing and smooth sailing, they will never think that there will be retribution for doing anything.

It's just that the reality is funny and cruel, because whether it is the traditional doctrine of Dongtu or many real cases, it shows that there is indeed "some kind of retribution" in this world, and it is divided into three categories.

The first type is called the present retribution, and as the name suggests, it is given back immediately while the recipient is alive, or even doubled. This kind of unlucky guy is usually miserable, and many people will laugh at him and deserve it.

The second type is retribution in another life, which is also easy to understand – perhaps the giver is fine in this life, but after he enters samsara, all retribution will appear in the next life. For example, after being reincarnated as an adult pig, they were pulled to slaughter, and they were starved to death after queuing up on the highway for dozens of days, and the reincarnated adult dogs were skinned alive and roasted with a spray gun ......

The other is called the worst retribution.

This statement is even more mysterious, saying that the giver may suffer retribution in this life, or he may be unharmed in this life, but he cannot enter samsara because of his great sin, so the unfinished "retribution" will fall on his descendants in later generations.

One of the most famous examples is that King Yingzheng, who created the "brutal and prosperous era" in the history of Eastern Soil, ascended the throne after his death, tortured and killed all 33 of his children (who were also Hu Hai's brothers and sisters), and then was forced to commit suicide by his subordinates.

The third emperor who ascended the throne did not live long before he was captured by the famous overlord of Western Chu, and the end result was that all the people from the emperor to the nobles were killed.

In other words, King Yingzheng is actually the last one.

In the end, it was the most severe and terrible punishment for the people of the ancient Eastern Tuguo, and there was no one.

In addition, there are many situations of the so-called queen, such as the emperor who has killed too many people and committed many crimes, although he can reign until death, but he has no heirs or the only collateral heir is a retarded person with obesity who likes to pick his nose and the like, which is not uncommon in reality.

Alina is a native of Beixiong, but she has learned the profound and infinite metaphysics of the East from the story of Night Thirteen.

In Alina's view, the difference between humans and animals is the possession of civilization, and the highest manifestation of civilization is morality.

Morality is not a skill that can be learned or taught, just as a human baby raised by wolves does not have a sense of morality, morality is a "thing" that cannot be learned from books.

What is morality, this is the standard and code of conduct used to judge good and evil after the emergence of civilization by a species, it cannot be quantified in words, but it is ubiquitous, and it is the basic contract for maintaining social stability.

Modern people should understand that the lowest bottom line for walking in society is the law, and morality is something that exists above the law.

Therefore, the higher the moral standard of a place, the higher the degree of civilization of its species.

And there is another meaning of "morality" that Alina refers to, which is part of the teachings in the Sutra, that is, "man cannot exercise divine authority".

What is theocracy?

To create a new species that doesn't exist (or to confuse different species) is theocracy.

By extension, human scientists have discovered that many elements of the periodic table do not exist in nature, but need to be extracted through artificial synthesis – this is not an exercise of divine authority, because the elements are already there, and humans have not obtained them by some means.

In the same way, human beings raise domestic animals and grow crops not to exercise divine authority - domestic animals are already there, and crops will grow naturally, and human beings are only increasing output through large-scale large-scale farming.

However, if humans transplant the head of a dog into a cow, they can produce N identical sheep through cloning technology, or even create superhumans by changing genes.

All of the above belongs to the category of theocracy.

There is no doubt that Alina not only has a sense of morality, but she is also an extremely devout Orthodox.

It is not difficult to imagine why the Northern Magic Sect was able to defeat the Shamanism in the first place, precisely because the magicians basically believed in the Zhengdong Sect.

When they discovered that the Shamanism did all kinds of evil, mixed people with various animals, and created "fierce beasts" through alchemy, the power of faith prompted them to develop a lofty sense of morality to defend human civilization.

This kind of spiritual sublimation has self-evidently improved the overall combat power, not only making the magicians look at death as if they were home, but even affecting an entire generation.

Just like Queen Yevna, who sacrificed her three children, Vitoria, who was willing to be used as an experiment, and Alina's mother, who died generously.

Of course, in a sense, Alina's mother, Lilia, also blasphemed the divine right by using the ancient alchemy array to integrate subhuman cells into Alina's body, creating a human that fused subhuman genes.

This individual sacrifice, which seemed extremely shocking at the time, evolved for ten years and finally gave birth to the "Demon Refining Project".

It can be said that the "Demon Refining Project" is to use human civilization to raise and slaughter living people as livestock on a large scale.

Even if the subject is far away from the east and unaware, her cell clone suffers from solitary sleep in the deep sea - the nearly a million Elia here is like a human flesh fruit on the World Tree, which will be harvested mercilessly once ripe!

One can imagine what kind of terrible impact Alina's worldview and morality suffered after understanding all this.

Alina is more afraid of the "retribution" that Night Thirteen calls it.

Even if she hated what the Nine Old Men did, she couldn't hide the blood flowing in her body, not to mention that she was once proud of the double-headed eagle!

Even if Alina now becomes the number one criminal of the Romanov family, she is willing to give her life to protect everyone in the Romanov family!

Alina's change of mood soon affected her surroundings, and Queen Yevna, who was close by, could clearly feel the sudden drop in temperature in the cabin.

She couldn't help but wrap her robe tightly.

At this moment, Alina stared at the hexagonal beehives scattered all over the hill outside the porthole, most of which innocent girls would stay at the bottom of the sea for the rest of their lives, until they were judged to be "unable to wake up" when they matured, and then injected with a high dose of sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide, and then thrown into the purification pool to be processed into other people's "nutrients".

And those who are lucky enough to awaken, what awaits them is an even more terrible experiment in human society.

According to Queen Yevna, with the exception of an Ilea raised by the Romanov family, all subjects were sent to various countries and regions to be adopted by various families in order to collect more samples of socialization data.

Most of them did not survive to maturity - the subjects were physically different from ordinary people and were able to grow faster than their main bodies, but they either had strange diseases or died due to various strange accidents.

To this day, only three people are still alive.

Among them, there was an experimental sample that was dropped on the Eastern Earth Kingdom that managed to escape the surveillance and escaped.

Alina knew who had run away.

Vanilla!
