Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 326 Human-like
No one knows how much injustice Jack has suffered over the years, how much confusion he has in his heart, and how much persistence he has shown.

Jack thought of himself and his brother, clenched his fists, and struggled and became angry. His heart was roaring, but he was bound by some invisible shackles and could not break free.

"How can we show justice without killing people? How can we uphold fairness without killing people?" Shi Fei said, "Killing is the cruelest means, but only the cruelest means can uphold and show fairness!"

"No, no, no..." Jack felt that Shi Fei's words were perverse. He shook his head with a hint of resistance in his voice:
"Cruelness and violence are bad. Violence will only lead society to fight violence with violence. Only those who are judged by the law can..."

Shi Fei looked at Jack and said seriously: "You are already in your forties, why are you still so naive? The country is a tool for the ruling class to rule! The law is also one of the means of the ruling class!"

"!!!" Jack was struck by lightning and froze in place.

The freedom, equality, and human rights that he once believed in seemed to be torn apart layer by layer, revealing the naked truth. The essence of the state and the law was thus revealed before him without any cover.

This is how society works. It is an objective fact that exists in reality and will not change because of nice words such as freedom, equality, and human rights.

"No..." Jack felt that his worldview had suffered a heavy blow. He had always had hope in his heart, but later on, there was only despair in his heart. After being helped by Shi Fei, he felt that there were true love and good people in the world.

But now, Shi Fei told him that the country and the law are tools and means of the ruling class. So what is the purpose of his life's struggle?
Is it for those who rule?

Who is the ruling class in Goff City?

Certainly not someone like Jack.

That's why Jack suffered everywhere, because he was the ruled, he was naturally exploited, he had to pay a lot but gained very little.

That's why he and his brothers were ignored.

Because they are all the ruled and exploited.

They thought they were citizens of Goff City and part of Goff City. But in fact, in Goff City, they were not considered human beings, but only consumables of the rulers.

This is the fact of reality.

"I...you..." Jack was speechless and his heart was in chaos.

"Strictly speaking, your behavior does not constitute murder, because in the eyes of others, they may not be considered human beings." Shi Fei patted Jack on the shoulder.

"They're people..." Jack argued.

"They can only be considered walking vertebrates!" Shi Fei added, "You treat him as a human being, but do others treat him as a human being?"

"People shouldn't... at least not like this!" Jack said in a confused manner.

He had just killed a few bastards, and now he was beaten by Shi Fei. Many of his cognitions were overturned, so how could he not be confused?

Shi Fei ignored him and just picked up Harper's phone and pressed it lightly. Countless electromagnetic waves carrying bits of information instantly turned the phone into his tool.

He also understood most of the call information and records of the mobile phone in an instant. He found the "after-care phone number" in the address book and dialed it.

"Hello?" The call was quickly connected, and the other party's voice was low and concise.

"Felix Building, fifth floor." Shi Fei said, his tone as calm as if he was ordering a takeaway. "Okay, got it." The person on the other end of the line didn't ask any more questions and quickly hung up.

Jack saw Shi Fei making a phone call and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you calling?"

"To clean up the mess and deal with the corpses." Shi Fei said.

After reading the information in the mobile phone, Shi Fei now knows that after killing someone in Gaofu City, he only needs to make a specific phone call and someone will take the body away.

They won't ask you who killed you or why, but will give you money. The general price is two hundred dollars per body.

As for calling the police? That's almost a joke in Goff City.

Goff's police system relies entirely on taxes paid by residents of the area under its jurisdiction, such as property taxes, sales taxes, and state government grants.

Therefore, the police in wealthy areas are sufficient, well-equipped and responsive. However, in ordinary areas or remote communities, the police force is relatively weak, and some slums even have no police at all!
The police stations in these ordinary areas not only have limited police force, but also face extremely high risks. They mostly deal with cases casually or even ignore them at all.

If they encounter a reported murder case, they may symbolically intervene, but if the victim is just a homeless person or has no connections, they are too lazy to investigate and directly call the "aftermath" person and sell the body.

This not only solved the problem, but also brought in more income. In their eyes, the death of people was too normal and too many to be managed.

The only good thing is that since the Dark Knight came, they don't have to work overtime at night. The appearance of the Dark Knight made the night in Goff City very quiet.

The downside is that there are more cases during the day, and the police have to deal with more cases during the day, which are often more complicated and difficult than those at night, and some are even more bizarre.

Dozens of bodies rushed out of the sewers, a row of bodies hung on iron hooks in the harbor area, and crackling gunshots in the community during the day, like firecrackers... These were all very normal in the eyes of the police in Goff City.

The Dark Knight only appears at night, and the people of Goff City have now developed a "good" habit of solving troubles during the day.

The night belongs to the Dark Knight, and the day belongs to the "people" of this city.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the elevator dinged and stopped on the fifth floor. The door slowly opened and several people in blue and black uniforms walked out.

There were no signs on their uniforms, and they looked like employees of some private company. They saw Shi Fei and Jack, and their eyes stayed on them for a moment, then glanced at the body on the ground.

Although they were surprised in their hearts, why was it Harper who made the call, but Harper himself was among the corpses? But they said nothing, not even a spare glance.

They silently took out the body bags and skillfully put the three bodies in one by one. Then, they lifted the bodies on stretchers and prepared to transport them away.

Among the corpses they handled, these three were considered to be in very good condition.

There was no decay, no damage, and not even too much blood.

So the leading man took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted them, and handed them to Shi Fei:

"Three bodies. Originally, the price was six hundred dollars. But since they are in good condition, I'll give you an extra hundred dollars for each one. The total is nine hundred dollars."
