Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 199 No Right to Judge
Apart from the bartender, he was the only one in the tavern during the day.

As the boss's close attendant, the bartender was well aware of the strength of the person in front of him and quietly started cleaning the floor.

The scene before Yuanze's eyes was exactly the "humanoid monsters" he had discovered during the YN01 mission. They were being publicly tried.

I have been so busy recently that I actually forgot about this matter.

The courtroom was packed with people, many of whom had connections with these "humanoid monsters" that had integrated into their lives, either as relatives or friends, or as couples, or as students, teachers, or students...

Everyone refused to believe in the existence of the "humanoid monster", and was even more unwilling to admit that the one they lived with day and night was the unforgivable source beast.

For them, real memories and sincere feelings cannot be false.

Even if they are really "humanoid monsters".

It turns out that these source beasts have gained intelligence similar to that of humans during the experiment. Because they are tainted with human breath, they cannot be accepted by other higher source beasts, so they choose to transform into human form and lurk in human society.

There are countless examples like this. Countless people who have lost their loved ones see their beloved ones appear alive again before their eyes. How many people can easily let go of this kind of emotional entanglement and struggle?

What's more, there is no difference between them and their relatives. Their consciousness, habits, memories, and even those subtle details that can only be noticed between relatives are perfectly copied.

Yuanze turned his gaze to the bartender and asked him, "What do you think about this matter? What do you think?"

The bartender put down the glass, raised his head, squinted at the ceiling, a little confused, and replied hurriedly:
"It's hard to say. I have someone I miss too. If she really reappears in front of me, I will definitely not be able to control myself. The inner nature of human beings is emotion."

"You're really worthy of being called such a romantic." The boss pushed open the door and rushed here as soon as he heard the bartender say Yuanze was here.

"Boss, what do you think?"

"I have crawled out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses all my life. All my relatives and friends are dead. Maybe I can't help but be with someone, but this is based on the fact that I don't know that he is actually a source beast. Otherwise, it is impossible!"

"Aren't you being a little too cruel?" The bartender refuted the boss's point of view in a rare move. "That person is no different from the one closest to you. Don't you know that?"

The boss didn't get angry. He pulled off his gloves and pressed them down with his elbows: "I know everything you said! But do you know what the essence is? Don't be so fragile and still have illusions. Even if it is 100% the same, it is not that person."

"But it's not just their appearance. All their memories and behaviors match, and they even perform better."

"So you think this way because you hope she will come back? You are just projecting your own beautiful fantasy onto the 'humanoid monster'."

"No, that's not it. I really hope she comes back. I really regret not protecting her."

"Face the reality and the essence. You are also a source warrior and have seen so many deaths. How can you be so fragile?"

The boss patted him on the back and turned to Yuanze: "Sorry to make you laugh. Let's go upstairs and talk if you have anything to say."

"Let's finish watching this trial. I'm not that anxious."

Yuanze pushed his boss' hand away and expressed his distrust to him.

The three of them gathered around the TV and continued to watch the live broadcast of the public trial.

The judge stood up and read the indictment with a cold and serious look in his eyes. He added something at the end: "It has now been proven that emotions and memories can be created and imitated."

"We cannot ignore the potential dangers they may bring to humans because of our emotions. Their existence itself is a huge threat to human society." The defense lawyer for the "humanoid monster" this time is Zhen Yan, who lost his wife and two children in a car accident.

Later, the "humanoid monster" replaced the three of them and continued to accompany him and live with them until the three of them were arrested.

Yuanze found this ironic that the top leaders allowed the source beasts to transform into human form and enter human society, while at the same time arresting and slaughtering the monsters they created with their own hands.

The former behaves like a human being and is harmful to all human beings; the latter abides by the law and makes up for the shortcomings of many people.

As the lawyer now counters:

"We determine whether a person is guilty or not, not by looking at his potential, but by looking at his actual behavior. Otherwise, everyone is a potential criminal and should be arrested and tried."

"This is what religion does, and it uses high moral standards to measure everyone's character in advance. But the law should investigate what others have done, not what they are thinking."

It is obvious that the prosecutor made a huge mistake and seemed to have thrown the basics of the law to the winds for the sake of his goal.

However, their counterattack has also begun:

"You are right, but first we have to assume that they are human. I'm sorry, this is the result of their gene sequencing by an authoritative organization. There is no doubt that they are source beasts."

The defense attorney stood up again:

"We can't deprive them of their chance to survive just because they are source beasts. They have proven that they can integrate well into human society, and this is the result of my investigation."

He handed the investigation report to the judge and then projected it into the air. The investigation on it was very detailed and reliable.

It compares aspects such as social harmony, work attitude, and crime rate.

The results obtained are also a summary of the differences in previous perceptions of "humanoid monsters".

The "humanoid monsters" have even changed the family relationships of many people. While retaining most of the host's memories and habits, they have become more gentle and their relationships with others have also improved.

Even if he were to live in a body with a criminal record, he would not commit crimes according to his old habits.

At present, to be precise, the moral quality of "humanoid monsters" far exceeds that of the general public, and the crime rate has reached a point that will never be surpassed - a record of 0%.

"I'm sorry, defense attorney, you still don't understand. I said they are source beasts, not humans, and I have objective real-life evidence to support that."

The defense lawyer squeezed his eyes aside and glanced at the judge with disdain:
"Spitta said that emotions are a constant combination of various emotions and are the innermost subjective nature of a person. What do you think of people as? Why are you standing here? Are you just mechanically repeating a judgment?"

"If we can judge whether a person is human or not based on just one report, then how will we view those interstellar races that come from afar in the future?"

The other party was obviously caught off guard. He did not expect that the other party would rise to a philosophical level, and the test report, the only thing he relied on, seemed so pale and powerless in the face of these questions.

And it is obvious that this involves the topic of human emotions, which is also a topic that the law cannot avoid.

He didn't know how to refute.
