My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Hui held her phone, continuing to watch NHK's live broadcast via mobile network.

Hui wasn't concerned about the suicide method itself, but rather wanted to see if the woman would show up at the scene.

On the phone.

During the NHK live discussion, the opposition, led by Ryuichiro Nomaru, expressed their opinions, and now it was Sai Kaika's turn to speak.

He slowly opened his slightly narrowed eyes, his gaze sharp as an eagle spotting its prey high in the sky. Nomaru Ryuichiro and the others, who thought victory was assured, felt their hair stand on end under Sai Kaika's piercing eyes. Their confidence instantly turned into worry and a sense of foreboding.

As expected, Zhai Kaihua calmly and composedly said, "First, I would like to start by answering the question from the perspective of socio-economic issues."

Mr. Nobuo Niki, you seem concerned that the use of suicide laws could lead to even greater economic losses.

However, in reality, the number of suicides may not necessarily increase after the implementation of the suicide law!

When Zhai Kaihua uttered those words, everyone was in an uproar: "Huh?"

Zhai Kaihua continued, "In modern society, suicide is generally regarded as a kind of abnormality. However, with the implementation of suicide laws, suicide will no longer be considered abnormal, but will become a choice. As a result, there is a high probability that impulsive suicides will decrease."

"That's sophistry!" Nobuo Niki interrupted directly. "If it's allowed, the number of people doing it will increase. Isn't that obvious?"

"Hehe!" Zhai Kaihua chuckled and directly cited a similar example from the real world, "For instance, Canada lifted its ban on marijuana last year because it judged that banning it by law would only have the opposite effect. In fact, in the Netherlands, where it has long been deregulated, the rate of marijuana use is lower than in the UK and France, which have clearly banned it."

This was a fact, and Niki Nobukuro wanted to refute it, but couldn't find the words to counter. He began to panic, his words becoming incoherent: "How...how can you compare marijuana to suicide..."

Sai Kaika ignored the already "defeated" Niki Nobuo.

Turning to the Justice Party member who was expressing his moral views, Akihiro Iwakuni said, "Morality is indeed the rule between people, but rules change, and morality is not universally applicable. Morality also changes with the times and society."

Homosexuality, which was considered immoral in the past, has gained acceptance in many places today.

Gender discrimination, which wasn't considered a problem in the past, is now seen as immoral.

Sai Kaika's words were impeccable, directly shattering Iwakuni Akihiro's moral theory.

Iwakuni Akihiro's forehead had sprouted fine hairs at some point. He managed to find a loophole in Sai Kaika's words and said, "However, acts that are generally considered immoral, such as murder and theft, still exist."

“I must admit that.” Sai Kaika nodded to Iwakuni Akihiro, being extremely polite, but then looked up and asked the core question: “So, which category does suicide fall under?”

Suicide laws will encourage people to confront suicide. Only by confronting suicide will people seriously consider it, which is absolutely morally correct.

Furthermore, the law, like morality, is subject to change.

"Law and morality cannot be equated! Homosexuality is merely a cultural matter, and it is completely different from criminal behavior," said Iwakuni Akihiro passionately.

Zhai Kaihua smiled knowingly and said, "Currently, suicide is not a crime under our country's laws. We severely punish murder, but we do not prosecute suicide. So, I would like to ask everyone here, is suicide something that the country should ban by law?"

Everyone fell into thought.

Zhai Kaihua continued, "In the past, in ancient Rome, there was a system that allowed suicide as long as there was a legitimate reason."

Later, a Christian-dominated society was formed, and until modern times, the law has always defined suicide as a criminal act.

The freedom to commit suicide and the dignity of individuals have long been exploited by religion and the state!

"Far-fetched! You're changing the subject!" Iwakuni Akihiro pointed at Sai Kaika in a fit of rage.

However, Zhai Kaihua ignored him, because in a debate, once you get emotional and your mind becomes confused, you lose.

Zhai Kaihua continued, “We have reached a point where we can take an important step. After an era of tacit acceptance of suicide, we are about to enter an era of public acceptance of suicide.”

Finally, Professor Nomaru said that people cannot remain calm when facing death, and therefore, emotional people cannot properly use suicide methods.

Ryuichiro Nomaru: "Yes! Humans are creatures that can be swayed by emotions and make mistakes. But the suicide law is a law that absolutely cannot be wrong."

If death is the wrong choice, then the mistake is irreversible.

"What I see is the same problem as what you see. Suicide law is also a law to prevent people from committing suicide by mistake. It allows for open discussion among people, and the selection of death is based on answers that are accepted by everyone. This is the new world that suicide law will bring."

Upon hearing Sai Kaika's words, Nomaru Ryuichiro retorted, "Such discussions are also influenced by emotions. Humans cannot calmly choose to die. That's my opinion."

"Looks like this is going to be an endless argument!"

Nomaru Ryuichiro gave Sai Kaika a meaningful look: "This is not a question that can be answered through discussion. So I can only ask you to look at the actual situation."

Look at what the suicide law has created; I hope Professor Zhai and all voters will take a look.

When the two hosts saw the look in Nomaru Ryuichiro's eyes, they immediately understood and said to the audience in front of the camera, "We're going to invite a guest up."

Immediately, a woman with short hair and a masked boy walked out from the side and appeared before the eyes of people around the world who were watching this momentous event.

The host explained from the side: "Ten days ago, an anonymous teenager posted a shocking video saying that his father was planning to commit suicide. Today, we have invited this teenager to the studio."

Nomaru Ryuichiro had the boy sit next to him, patted the boy's shoulder reassuringly with his large hand, and said to the screen, "It's a pity we couldn't contact his father, but today we've also invited his mother."

His father planned to end his life. I don't know the specifics, so I shouldn't interfere. However, even so, it's still surprising to learn that someone was going to abandon this child, his wife, and his son to end his life.

I can only offer advice, no matter how reasonable his father's decision may be, I will still try to dissuade him! I will try to dissuade him based solely on emotion, not morality! Therefore, I cannot use the suicide prevention method, and I believe that all of you voters feel the same way I do. I believe that people all over the world are capable of stopping someone from committing suicide based on emotion. He has some words he wants to say to you voters.”

As Nomaru Ryuichiro spoke, he became more and more impassioned and righteous.

Meanwhile, on her way to NHK television station in Tokyo, Keishi saw a smile on the lips of the woman next to the masked boy in the video: "I've found you."

Chapter 161 Father and Son

A note beforehand: This chapter is for those who have watched the anime and are familiar with the plot of Babylon.

-------------------------------------------------- -

NHK (National Broadcasting Corporation)

The little boy wearing the mask began to speak. His voice was still childish and soft, but it revealed a firm determination: "I want to participate in the election!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Elementary school student becomes a national councilor!

Scenes like these, which are even too daring to be depicted in movies, would actually happen in real life!

The idea of ​​a primary school student becoming one of the highest administrative decision-makers in a region, holding the lives and futures of millions of people in his hands, is both intriguing and absurd.

However, the key point is that this is actually possible under the new regional councilor election system!

Ryuichiro Nomaru continued, "The deadline for registering candidates for the New Territories Council is midnight tonight. I hope this young man will run for the New Territories Council."

The host was extremely surprised: "Is this okay?"

Ryuichiro Nomaru turned and explained, "There is no age limit for candidates for the New Domain Council, so even this teenager can become a member of the council."

"But even if he is elected, can he fulfill his duties as a member of parliament?"

“I will help him. It doesn’t matter if I don’t run for office. His thoughts are the same as mine: to reject the suicide law and stop his father from committing suicide. As long as this goal can be achieved, it doesn’t matter who is the legislator.”

I believe voters will cast their ballots for him in tomorrow's election. I hope everyone will protect them, protect him and his father, and protect their future where the three of them can live together!

"If you're going to put on a show, you have to do it right," Nomaru Ryuichiro said, bowing deeply to the audience in front of the screen.

a long time···

clap clap clap!

The staff working on site couldn't help but stop what they were doing and applaud.

Most viewers in front of the screen immediately developed a sense of admiration for Ryuichiro Nomaru.

It must be said that Ryuichiro Nomaru is indeed a shrewd and calculating politician. This move deserves full marks. The vast majority of Japanese people were moved by his righteous and awe-inspiring words and decided to vote for this boy.

In their eyes, this is a noble and great politician who "fiercely defies the criticism of thousands, yet willingly serves the people like an ox," a person who truly cares about the interests of the people.

Viewers watching on television kept sending emails and faxes to support Ryuichiro Nomaru.

Nomaru Ryuichiro's desire to make this little boy a member of parliament was genuine.

Even if the boy is successfully elected as a member of parliament, he will still have a primary school student with no political experience or background firmly under his control, which is no different from him becoming a member of parliament himself.

Finally, Ryuichiro Nomaru also subtly suggested that his supporters should cast their votes for this boy, assuring them that he fully represents him.

After Nomaru Ryuichiro finished speaking, it was Sai Kaika's turn to give his opinion.

The host addressed Zhai Kaihua, saying, "Teacher Zhai, a young boy, and an anonymous one at that, is now announcing his candidacy."

Zhai Kaihua, however, was not in a hurry at all. He spoke slowly in a refined and gentle voice, full of magnetism and confidence: "No problem! As everyone knows, there is no age limit for elections in the new region. However, what is more important is that this concept is correct. Everyone holds their own views, and let the vote decide everything. Let the voters judge who is right, him or me. This is the normal state of an election. However, in order to prevent you from making wrong judgments, I think all materials that can help you make a judgment should be made public."

As Zhai Kaihua finished speaking, the boy's shoulders involuntarily trembled.

However, no one noticed this subtle movement.

Zhai Kaihua looked at the boy and continued, "He decided to upload the video himself, which shows that he is a person with independent judgment."

As he spoke, Zhai Kaihua walked up to the boy, knelt down, and said in a loving tone, "I admit my mistake. Sun, take off your mask."

The boy took off his Kamen Rider mask, revealing a youthful face, but this face was very similar to that of Sai Kaika. A careful observer would notice that the boy was practically a miniature version of Sai Kaika.

“He is my son! The father who decided to commit suicide is me!” Zhai Kaihua stood up, put a hand on the boy’s shoulder, and said something that shocked all the audience watching this public discussion.

These words shocked everyone and sent chills down their spines! The unfolding events were more absurd than anything in a movie.

“I understand that this kind of content is not suitable for television broadcast, but please forgive me, I think now is the only chance... to have a proper talk with this child,” Zhai Kaihua continued.

The boy said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Zhai Kaihua squatted down again, level with the boy, and placed his hands on the boy's shoulders: "Taiyang, don't apologize."

The boy's voice choked with sobs: "But...why? Why—"

“I’m the one who should apologize. I feel you can’t handle reality yet. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have always treated you like a child.” As she spoke, Zhai Kaihua hugged her child.

With tears streaming down his face, the boy asked, his voice trembling with sobs, the question that had been on the minds of all the viewers watching this emotional scene: "Why? Why did he have to die?"

Zhai Kaihua released the boy and looked at him gently: "Of course, part of it is because of your heart. Your heart won't last for many more years, but as long as you have your father's heart, you can live."

"As expected..." The boy had already considered this reason.

Zhai Kaihua shook his head at the child: "No, the heart problem is just a trigger."

To be honest, my suicide had nothing to do with you. I originally intended to give you my heart, but in today's world, it's forbidden to give you my heart after I've committed suicide.

This is true in Japan, and it's true in other countries around the world.

However, I think it would be better for you. What I just said will definitely spark a discussion on television and other media, and then many people will come to help you.

Can you imagine? Many people will reach out to help you with your heart problem and will help you raise funds.

But that's all I can do to help you.

The fact that I gave you my heart should not just be a touching story; it should become the norm in the world in the future!
