Chapter 2062 – [The Machine God Is Watching!!!]

There was no separate media control over the ghost disturbance that occurred in the prison after the inmate’s death. By the time the report was reported to us, the rumor had already spread, and we couldn’t do anything.

Even now, the soul of the inmate was screaming in that cell. Eden or my family had to go and deal with it separately, so it was difficult to silence those people because they stayed where they were.

“I sent psychics from the Cheonmu Association once, but they failed.”

“It’s a soul that can be seen, but it must have some skills, but if the exorcism or something like that fails, it seems like it’s not just the spiritual part, but the power of Eve that’s binding it.”

“This is going to cause a fuss. What should I do?”

“First, we have to make an announcement. And tell the prison there to leave that cell empty.”

It seemed like a lot of things would change when Eve became a god. In fact, it’s okay to leave it as a brief incident and move on, but Eve has already become a god, and depending on how you use it, it can be a very useful power. Considering that Eve will be active in Korea in the future and that she will need to receive faith, it is better to use it.

Besides, what’s so bad? Because they are older, they give them a lesser sentence and prevent them from escaping because they die before they can pay for the crimes they committed.

Human rights? If they had to suffer that much until after death, most of them would be bastards who ignored other people’s human rights. I don’t know why they care about the human rights of criminals but not the human rights of victims. And even though it is a legitimate legal punishment, it is only because the sentence is long that it is received after death.

Anyway, we decided to make a separate announcement about the prison ghost situation. As we responded proactively, we smelled something and received attention, so at least before we knew for sure, we had to say something in advance before strange rumors spread.

“Some people may feel a connection between the current ghost situation in the prison and the government’s response. We are also investigating the situation along with the incident.”

“I heard that it is rare for a soul to be visible to the public. Also, the soul is said to be screaming and suffering. What is the problem that led to this happening?”

“We plan to announce this in detail at a later date. However, one thing I can say for sure is that Eve is involved at the center of this situation.”

“If it’s Eve, then she’s the second daughter…”

“Yes, the soul in question was sentenced to 25 years in prison by Eve, and died of old age at the end of its lifespan. However, despite this, the person in question is making a fuss in prison, not anywhere else. There is a possibility that it may have become a ban. What are the chances of a soul being visible to the ordinary eye?”

“He is said to have an artificial intelligence background, but this is the first time I have heard that Judge Eve has such abilities.”

“People change and grow. We are currently checking how much Eve is capable of. Once we understand to a certain extent, we will announce more details later.”

It may seem like the government’s typical ‘we’re looking into the situation’ story, but we’re really doing it. Likewise, the people may not have known it was the previous government, but since this is what I am saying, they just restrained themselves and discussed what was going on.

-This is what Emperor Hung is saying, so he must be grasping the true situation.

-ㄹㅇ, if you don’t know that guy, he’s the type of person who will say out loud that he doesn’t know.

-But it’s so fucking scary. Even if I have time left on my sentence, I will not be reincarnated and will be punished?

-Considering that that bastard committed arson on a cultural property, I think it would be justified. If you don’t commit a crime in the first place, you don’t have to suffer.

– ㄹㅇ, if it were the old government, they would have been so fucking opposed to the idea of ​​reinstating the death penalty, but they will conduct a 100% perfect trial without any miscarriage of justice and without innocent victims? What does it matter whether the punishment for criminals is strong or not?

-It is flexible enough to forgive mistakes and accidents if you sincerely reflect on them.

-I wonder if it would be one of the most trusted government agencies after the reform.

-Who is in last place?

-It is a National Assembly seat, but it has not yet been filled, so it is virtually vacant.

-I wish the National Assembly would be closed, and the evil emperor would remain president like this.

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

Why are you suddenly drifting towards me and telling me to spend the rest of my life?

Anyway, we decided to do some experiments and research on Eve’s powers. First, for convenience, Eve’s power was decided to be called the power of justice as before.

“First, one thing has become clear. If Eve uses her power, she cannot escape even after death as long as her sentence remains, and she cannot enter reincarnation and suffers, so it is virtually no different from hell…”

“I don’t know about the afterlife here, but I think it’s good to at least have something visible here on Earth.”

“That’s right. Ah, Eve, if this is the case, wouldn’t it be better to punish those who will be executed later for hundreds or thousands of years?”

“I will judge that at my discretion. There are people who should be executed, and there are people who should suffer for a long time.”

“Okay, you’ll take care of that.”

If Eve’s power is the power to execute justice, what is important is what that justice is based on.

Honestly, this is a fucking annoying problem. As for what justice really is, not even I, who has seen all kinds of human beings, nor Choi Gil-hyun, who is called a great hero, can give a clear answer.

But at least the standards of justice that Eve practices now follow the laws of the Republic of Korea. So, there are some laws that come into play when you enter a dimensional civilization, but if you change them later… Hmm?

“Eve, I know that you exercise your authority by judging and making decisions based on Korean law, but what if the law changes?”

“Hmm… That’s a blind spot. It won’t happen, but if murder or robbery becomes legal, I wonder if my power will become meaningless.”

“I won’t go that far. Even if you follow the laws of the Republic of Korea, there is a certain line, and you are the one doing it. What you need to pursue justice is understanding and conscience to understand others, and as long as you have that, murder and robbery are acceptable. You can’t do it.”

“That’s true. Then, the authority to enforce justice doesn’t actually change in the grand scheme of things even if the law changes, so isn’t it something I can do as I please?”

“I told you. Conscience is also necessary. Would it be reasonable to give 1 trillion years in prison to a guy who scammed 10 billion won?”

“I agree with putting the fraudsters in prison, but even if all the victims committed suicide, I don’t think 1 trillion years in prison would be too much.”

“That’s right. Perhaps your power operates through the flexibility of your conscience within the framework of the law. You felt the absurdity of evading punishment by dying when you were sentenced to more than life in prison, and you thought that was not the case, so you prevented the cultural property arsonist from being reincarnated. I’m going to catch him and make him live.”

“There are many areas that can be applied.”

“We have to solve that gradually. It’s a problem that will be solved with time, effort, and practice.”

Although some limitations and standards for the power to administer justice were known, there were other possibilities as well. Eden, who is smarter than me, suggested a different possibility.

“I understand that Eve is the standard even if the law changes, but what happens when the law changes?”

“Huh?”

“Hmm, indeed. What Eden is saying is that if a new law is introduced, the scope of my authority will also increase.”

“Oh, there was that part too.”

Laws change with the times. For example, could you imagine the gun laws we have today once upon a time, when there were no guns? As Korea develops, laws could be created in the future due to unexpected technologies or environments.

If so, would the scope of Eve’s power also increase? Perhaps, if a new bill is implemented and Eve agrees with the bill and is satisfied with it in her heart, she will be able to use the power of justice to deal with the bill and related issues.

“Hmm… Then, can you use the power not only to execute sentences, but also to ban or detain the subject from leaving the country?”

“It’s probably possible. But we don’t know how it will work, so we’ll have to test it.”

“Then even the soul?”

“Hmm?”

“For example, a murder case occurred and there was no evidence, so the case was left in the labyrinth. Can the soul of the dead victim be summoned to stay and testify as a witness?”

“There is no need to look for evidence because of [Earth’s Bookshelf], But if it is passed as a law… It is possible.”

“Then, if I allow the soul of a deceased person to stay on Earth and the body remains, and I perform resuscitation, isn’t it guaranteed resuscitation?”

“No, there is a loophole in the law in a good sense?!?!”

Eden’s resuscitation procedure is not confirmed, but often fails even now that she has become a transcendental person. It is not because of Eden’s lack of ability, but because the soul itself has gone to the left side of reincarnation, it is impossible to revive it unless you go in there and fight Aregish to take his soul.

But is it possible to allow the soul to reside immediately after death? Then wouldn’t resuscitation be definitely possible?

“However, I have to convince myself that it will not be possible for some specific causes of death. In the case of a death case, it may be possible to secure the testimony of the victim or reach an agreement with the defendant, but I cannot handle matters that cannot be legally touched, such as suicide or illness.”

“Is it because even by the standards of the law, such people are neutral and cannot be divided into guilty or innocent?”

“Then, in the case of a fatal accident that cannot be said to be anyone’s fault, it is impossible for the soul to stay?”

“First, since the person is dead, we just need to let him stay for a while to understand the exact situation. The testimony of witnesses is the best evidence, and even if you can figure it out with [Earth’s Bookshelf], You just need to secure the evidence.”

“I can sense the direction and ability of the power to some extent. There are some conditions, but that is why it is not specific to any one thing and is a highly versatile power.”

“Restrictions and oaths…!!!! Are you capable!!!!”

“Last time it was Zanpakutō, but this time it’s Nen?”

There were conditions that it had to be registered as a bill and that Eve herself had to be satisfied, but as long as those were satisfied, she had the power to do almost anything. So didn’t Eden take advantage of that loophole and think that resuscitation would be possible?

Considering that she will grow further, Eve’s power is truly amazing. Even if it’s not possible, it’s curious how much progress has been made in just 10 years.

“Then…”

“What else is there?”

“What if resuscitation itself is registered as a bill?”

“Huh?”

“Regardless of whether the soul stays in the country, what happens if we register a bill that states that in cases of domestic death, the state is responsible for the death of the victim and has an obligation to revive the person? Can Eve, even if not me, revive a person?”

“Uh… Is that okay?”

As I said before, Eve’s power comes with conditions, so there are many things you can do if you meet those conditions. It is an omnipotent power that shows aspects of omnipotence, such as binding the soul, staying in the country, imposing a ban on leaving the country to prevent it from escaping abroad, etc.

So what would happen if resuscitation itself was included as a condition? Of course, Eve would be uncomfortable and reluctant if asked to revive a criminal or something like that, but if it was a victim or something like that…

Even if it is the law, the most important thing is the understanding of the parties involved. And Eve, who was thinking deeply, nodded her head and agreed.

“… If the target is an innocent victim, it seems possible.”

“Is it possible if it’s a disaster where a lot of people die due to an accident?”

“Aren’t they guilty? I can understand it if it is a bill that guarantees the right to life of such people.”

“I guess I should give it a try.”

“However, in this case, we must have the support of the people. Since I am still immature, I cannot revive a dead person with my own strength.”

There is a condition that Eden’s body must be intact to some extent, but because of that, it requires much less force and time can now be restored to the level of 3 minutes of cup ramen through time acceleration. However, Eve has a different mechanism and needs to use her full power, so she needs the support of the religious people of the Republic of Korea.

Of course, there are pros and cons to either side’s revival. Eden’s body has been reduced to powder and cannot be revived without anything, but Eve, if only the soul remains, will refer to the victim’s physical data through past records in [Earth’s Bookshelf] And revive her based on that.

If the situation is good, Eden is better, and if the situation is bad, Eve is better. Of course, I haven’t tried it yet, so I’ll have to look into it separately.

“Then I will hold a press conference regarding that. People can now be resuscitated even if they die in an accident or something like that, and then I will let go of all those who do not have faith.”

“I will go out with you too.”

“Yes, it will be easier to gain faith if we go out together and show our faces. Well, if it is possible to be revived even if you die in an accident, I will send you faith anyway.”

To put it simply in modern terms, a god was like an idol. In fact, just as there is a god in Gilhyun’s team Twilight who gathers people’s faith by working as an idol, there is also a god who gathers people’s faith through external activities.

As such, Eve also had to be active externally. I worked as an artificial intelligence judge for a while and focused on my work, but from now on, I think I will have to show my face more often.

“Well, I can’t help it if it’s for the people. But do I have to dance and sing too?”

“Not to that extent.”

“I’m glad. I wondered what would happen because I resemble Eden, but I’m tone-deaf and can’t sing.”

“Hey!!!!! Who’s tone-deaf!!!!!!!”

You’re still scratching your head when it comes to singing and tone deafness, Eden.

Anyway, now that we have figured it out to some extent, all that remains is to announce and implement it. I’m really curious about what the outcome of this will be…

No matter how you think about it, the impact of this incident will probably be huge.
