Affirmative Action for Ghosts

"The case was debated for almost ten years. According to the laws of the federation, the definition of 'murder' was 'unlawfully depriving a natural person of their life'. The laws did not state that ghosts were 'natural persons'. Naturally, ghosts did not have a 'life'.

"Furthermore, the forces that supported 'ghosts are not human beings' were still very influential, and many ordinary citizens had yet to change their prejudice.

"Therefore, after the case was debated in the court of appeals, the evil Cultivators were found not guilty of murder. They were only sentenced to prison for a few misdemeanors.
