Chapter 185: Another Choice

Life is like that sometimes, and there will always be painful choices to be made when you don't expect it.

Some say that Hamlet's choice is to choose life or death. But whether he chooses business or dies, he is only responsible for himself.

Many people in life will face such choices, but in most cases, the so-called difficult choices are only responsible for their own lives.

Choose to live on your knees and die standing up. chooses to endure humiliation and burden, and chooses to live secretly. But whatever the choice is made, in the vast majority of cases, the person who makes the choice is only responsible for himself.

As long as you think it is appropriate, then make your own choice, and regret is only regret yourself.

But now David is facing a situation that goes far beyond that. The choices he needs to make are not only about himself, but also about others.

If you reach out and touch that wrench, you can save the person on the school bus as long as you move it. But at the same time, there will be another drunk who will be crushed to death by himself.

In that case, you don't count as killing the drunkard yourself.

But if you don't move, a carload of children will die. Is this a matter of sitting idly by?

But no matter what choice you make, you will bear the condemnation of your conscience.

If there is no oneself, then things happen according to inertia. The drunk will be fine lying there. It was the children who died.

Save the drunk or save the child? If it's just a theoretical multiple-choice question, it's actually easy to decide, and all people in their right mind will make up their minds to save the child and kill the drunk.

But do drunkards have to be damned? He never felt that he had the right to take away anyone's life at will. Especially an innocent life.

Is the voice whispering in his ear credible? Is the drunkard damn as he says? Will the train avoid the school bus after he removes the wrench? All these are doubts, and I can't simply judge.

If you foolishly believe this charming voice, your brain will really be kicked by a donkey.

"What are you doing, don't you do it yet? You're running out of time, only two minutes, very quickly. At that time, all the children on the school bus will be killed by the train. Do you want to see them all die?"

That annoying voice kept whispering in his ear, which made people extremely irritated. David, who was urging, quickly pulled down the wrench to make a decision.

"Why are you so desperate for me to pull down the wrench. Do you have to kill that drunkard?" Although the time was getting shorter and David's heart was getting more and more anxious, he kept forcing himself to calm down, because at this time, any impulse would lead to the worst decision.

"Hah, are you questioning what I just said?"

"Not only did I question it, but I even suspected that it was all fake. ”

"Hehe, interesting boy. Then you can choose to do nothing, I don't force you, you just wait quietly for two minutes to pass, and then witness the tragedy, and then I will lift your ban and let you feel for yourself how wrong the decision you just made, and when you see the corpses of those children, I am sure you will cry bitterly. ”

Hearing this, David's face couldn't help jumping. This time it was what I was most worried about, and now I lost my ability. I can't even tell whether what I'm facing is illusion or reality.

Because I can't be sure, I hesitate even more. I can't tell if what the other party said is true or not, if this is the reality, but the so-called drunk is an important scientist.

Who can guarantee that he will be right when he pulls down the wrench? David is caught in a real dilemma, not only about the importance of life, but also about the doubt about this existence that he can't see.

So instead of pulling down the wrench, he was thinking. He was trying his best to think of what kind of solution should be used to solve the dilemma in front of him.

Yes, you can't pull the wrench yourself! Otherwise, you'll fall into this unknown trap!" David thought.

I only have one hand to move, and the only thing I can reach is the gravel used to lay the rails underground, except for the wrench. David quickly observed everything around him that could be used. But there is very little available.

It's really hateful! If my ability was still there, maybe I wouldn't be so passive. David was really irritable, but no matter how irritable, he had to keep his mind clear at this moment.

He suddenly opened his mouth and said to the unknown being, "So, what do you want to do all this?"

"Huh?"

"There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. I just want to know, what are you trying to do when you pick me and make me make this choice? What do you mean by giving me strength? Give me strength, if I accept it, can I stop the car?If that's the case, I'm willing to be a magical boy!" David said quickly, because time was running out, and he needed more information to help him make judgments.

"Funny, few people are as calm as you. When faced with such a choice, most people will only find themselves in a two-way situation. But I never wanted to ask why. The voice in the ear answered David's question.

"It's not easy to quickly find an effective coping strategy. What do I want to do? I want to find a spokesperson. ”

David quickly grasped the point: "So this is not the first time such a thing has happened, is it?!

"Well, clever imp. Some useful information can be found in simple words. That's right, you guessed it. You're just one of the many magical boys to choose from. The words in his ear said.

"Then I accept your power! Stop this car!" shouted David, as time was running out, only a minute left.

"No, you just turned me down once. If you want to accept my power now, then you have to make your own choice. Kill one or kill fifty. In the end, who is innocent and who deserves to die. Their lives are in your hands. As long as you make a choice, you will be eligible for my power. The voice was slightly mocking.

"I still recommend you kill the drunkard. Because anyway, it's a good choice between saving fifty and killing one. It's like when you go to the supermarket to buy a drink, buy one get fifty free and buy fifty get one free, how to buy is actually very simple, isn't it? ”

"You can't actually save everyone. Sometimes you just have to know how to give up, you know? Only naïve people will say I want them all, mature people will always have all kinds of thinking. What is given up and what should not be given up. So ......"

"You're done?" David coldly cut off the babbling of the voice, and said, "You are not wrong about one thing, naïve people will choose one of the choices you give, and I have another choice!"
