Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

In ethics, it usually refers to what people should do according to certain moral standards. It also refers to a kind of moral evaluation, namely justice.

People from different societies or classes have different interpretations of justice: the ancient Greek philosopher Plato believed that justice is when people do what they should do according to their rank; Christian ethicists believe that justice is when the body should be subject to the soul.

Overall, most people believe that fairness is justice. In simple terms, it means treating the same people the same.

From a political perspective, justice has three functions:

1. Justice protects the safety of people’s lives and property, enables them to survive and develop, and promotes social progress.

2. A just system provides support and guarantee for people to cooperate fairly.

3. Justice is achieved through institutional regulation to avoid serious social divisions and to promote healthy and sustainable social development.

Then, the justice that Xiawolei insisted on was obviously inseparable from political justice.

As the captain of the Fontaine Special Patrol and a member of the law enforcement team, Xiawolei must shoulder the responsibility of upholding the laws of Fontaine.

Even if Morris really deserved to be cut into pieces, Xiawolei could not resort to lynching or make a private judgment.

The closest thing she could do to the legal red line was to organize this script and take advantage of Morris's guilty conscience to get the evidence she wanted.

As for the rest, Xiawolei had no right to do it.

And it is obvious that Veronique's act of revenge violates the Law of Fontaine.

Even if what she did was morally justifiable, it was not permitted under the law.

If everyone abuses lynching, is there any need for the existence of laws? Can the lives and safety of the people be guaranteed?

"I believed you so much! I saw your expression after the last scene of your performance. It was so determined and so angry... I thought you would really shoot a bullet at him!"

Veronica placed her right hand on her chest and shouted from the bottom of her heart.

"Humph……"

Xia Wo Lei snorted coldly and didn't respond.

Does she want to shoot?

Of course she thought about it, no one hated people who went against justice more than she did.

Of course, Xiawolei wanted to shoot Morris, the scumbag, to death.

It's just that she can't do that.

Inheriting the spirit of "justice" from her father, Xia Wulei can do nothing about delayed justice, so she can only try her best to be faster and try not to let justice be late.

She felt sorry for what happened to Veronique and Baptiste, but that didn't mean she would allow them to abuse their power in lynching.

"Xiawolei, you also heard what he did. Are you going to tell me..."

"For a scum like this, would you rather let him live a life of luxury in Mellow Petersburg for the rest of his life than let him take a bullet?!"

"You know what? After all these years, I still can't forget my mother's cold hands..."

"Xiawolei! Is this what you call "justice"? Is this what you call "fairness"? Answer me!"

Faced with Veronika's increasingly sharp questions and inquiries, Xiawolei just sighed deeply.

She understood Veronica's feelings at the moment.

He saw the murderer of his mother right in front of him, but he could not avenge her with his own hands. Even if he was judged by the law, the worst punishment would be exile to Melopensky, where he would never be able to go to land again.

Where is Komelo Petersburg?

To put it bluntly, it is a paradise for criminals! A completely autonomous place that takes in prisoners from Fontaine and allows them to start a new life.

In Fontaine, the death penalty is only a legendary punishment that exists only in legal documents.

Since the founding of Fontaine, no prisoner has ever been sentenced to death!

there has never been!

It was also because they knew that even if Morris was tried, he would only be exiled to Mello Petersburg. This punishment was simply not worth mentioning for the crime he committed!

Veronica couldn't accept that a murderer could live so freely.

That's why she chose to become a gunslinger and demanded Morris' life in exchange for his!

After a long silence, Xia Wulei finally spoke.

The silence during this period was also to allow Veronica to calm down a little.

"I'm telling you the truth, Veronica."

"That night, your brother, Baptiste...after he told me about this experience, I did hesitate."

"I thought about actually putting a bullet in Morris's head."

Xiawolei said.

"Then why..."

Veronica asked.

"This kind of behavior is definitely not the justice that should exist in reality!"

Xiawolei said slowly.

"Perhaps in your and your brother's eyes, justice means an eye for an eye, a life for a life. Just like what he wrote in The Two Gunslingers."

"But if everyone has his or her own understanding of [justice], and everyone pursues his or her own [justice]... then the rules will no longer exist, and the Fontaine Law will become nothing more than a piece of paper."

"Today, you kill Maurice. Tomorrow? His children come to kill you. When will the cycle of revenge end?"

"Reality cannot be judged by pure revanchism. That would lead to endless revenge, the [rules] would be destroyed, the laws would be trampled upon, [society] would cease to exist, and the country would be overthrown."

"Reality has its own set of [justice] and [laws]. This is the [law] that the ancestors of Fontaine have been constantly exploring and perfecting since the founding of the country. It is also the [rule] that the people of Fontaine abide by in their daily lives."

“This is why Fontaine is called the country of justice.”

"Besides, I assure you that this guy will never have a good life in Mellow Petersburg."

"Mr. [Duke] of Melo Petersburg hates scum the most."

After saying this, Xiawolei and Funina looked at each other.

Those words were just said in front of the God of Justice. I don’t know if I said anything wrong or if it would make the Lord God of Water unhappy.

However, to Xiawolei's surprise, Fernina nodded at her, confirming her words.

"Thank you."

Xiawolei whispered a word of thanks.

However, the actual situation is that Finina has been thinking about what justice is. In the past, she only had a vague understanding of justice, not as much as Villette. She has just been doing what the gods in people's hearts believe in.

Xiawolei's words deeply touched her heart and inspired Funina to explore justice.

"Xiawolei, I called the special patrol team."

It was at this time that Xiao Gong, who had gone out to look for the special patrol team, happened to come back.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xia Wole nodded to Xiao Gong, and then gave orders to the special patrol team members who entered the warehouse.

"Letelier Turenne, take them away."

The two special patrol team members nodded, then stepped forward to arrest Morris and Veronica.

Before Veronica left, she only heard Veronica speak softly.

"I don't understand..."

"I know."
