Chapter 68: Comfort

"But when I heard about that ball, and saw how they behaved at it, I felt an indescribable anger.

At that time, I felt that although I was in the same base city and looked like people, at the root, I was not the same creature. What I cherish and identify with is worthless to them, and they even use it in reverse, just to get more stimulation for themselves.

Those who walked around naked looked like people, but at the time I felt more like a group of demons wearing human skins.

If you have ignored everything that you should cherish as human beings, why can't I ignore you? Why can't I kill people without any psychological barriers?

I don't know exactly what happened in the middle, because I left the specific decision of the battle to my body, like a sleepwalk that seemed to wake up, and when the last one fell, I woke up again, and what I saw was the hell I had created with my own hands. ”

Meng Xiaoxiao listened quietly, and finally, made a summary in one sentence.

"When you didn't kill them, you thought these people were hateful, and it was not even a pity to die, but when you really killed them all, do you think it won't be like this, at least the crime will not lead to death?"

The Force was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, and finally nodded a little awkwardly.

Meng Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the Force for a long time before she spoke, "Brother Dali, do you know what my feelings are?"

The Force said with some tentative caution, "Shouldn't I just go about killing when I haven't even thought it through?"

Meng Xiaoxiao shook his head and said:

"Their deaths, you are the witness, even you made them one by one, they can touch you a lot, but to me, I don't know them at all, I don't know their names, I don't know their looks, in my world, they just don't exist.

Now that I hear they're dead, what touches me? I don't touch anything. In this matter, what can touch me is you, Brother Dali, what does it have to do with them?"

"Ah?!" The Force was a little surprised, looking at her in a daze, always feeling that Meng Xiaoxiao's words were a little inappropriate, but he didn't know how to refute them.

"It's a good thing that we use the virtues of justice and kindness to support and guide ourselves, but it doesn't mean that everything we do must be righteous and good, we are not the embodiment of justice and goodness, and we are not qualified to represent justice and goodness, we can only represent ourselves.

And for yourself, what choice to make is not the most important, the most important thing is firmness, since you have done this, then you have done it, this is an established fact, it is already impossible to change, why do you want to do it for this pointlessly?"

"This ...... After all, this is hundreds of living lives, so to put it mildly, isn't it too ...... It's too cold-blooded. The Force muttered.

Meng Xiaoxiao said: " There are many similar little fables, for example, you cross a single-plank bridge, halfway through, you find a person walking on the opposite side, you are about to collide, and the single-plank bridge cannot carry the weight of two people, it is about to break, if you want to live, you have to push him down with your own hands, another situation is that you are driving a locomotive, there is a dead-end road in front of you, you don't hit the steering wheel and you die, hit the steering wheel, you will hit and kill the innocent passers-by next to you, we can even make further extreme assumptions, you can't see this innocent passerby at all, you just know that making this choice will cause a person's death...... It's clear that they all choose to kill another person for their lives, why does the guilt drop sharply?"

"This ...... This...... It's still a little different. The Force felt completely powerless to argue.

Meng Xiaoxiao: "You said that the force behind the little master is likely to be Deyang Machinery, a few days ago I went to the Mechanical Institute to audit a lecture, one of which is related to Deyang Machinery, I can share it with you." ”

She didn't "entangle" on the fact that the Force had killed hundreds of people at all, she didn't comfort, didn't support, didn't evaluate, and as soon as the conversation changed, she turned to something that seemed unrelated.

"Many of the pinnacle achievements of the pre-technological era have all burst like bubbles because of the emergence of the mystical factor, but many have been preserved, among which the mechanical part is relatively complete. Looking at the entire base city, Deyang Machinery has irreplaceable value in manufacturing large, extra-large and special vehicles.

Among them, the large-scale combine harvesting and seeding machine is one of its fist products, millions of hectares of land in the reclamation area, two to three harvests a year, to use the fastest time to harvest the most grain, in addition, all parties in the buffer zone to open up a barren grange, directly in the wilderness to open up the war grange, all need to use this kind of machinery.

And this product, from the moment of birth, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering clearly pointed out that there is a potential safety hazard - directly endangering the safety of the driver, and gave a detailed modification plan, but they were never moved, the consequence of this is that every year about three percent of the driver will suffer a tragedy of mild disability or death, this situation is not only the existence of combine harvesters, some other extra-large, Engineering vehicles have similar problems, should be these drivers into high-risk occupations, comprehensive statistics, every year alone because of the death of more than 1,000 people, disabled as many as thousands, the base city has been established for many years, this phenomenon has lasted for many years, has been admitting mistakes, has not corrected.

All this is because they have done a simple calculation between the number of additional casualties and the amount of money it will cost to make up for this safety hazard every year.

The correct answer is that even if generous compensation is provided for every person who dies or is disabled, the cost is far less than to solve the problem completely. In this correct answer, human life is not only valuable, but also cheap.

There are more than 100,000 people in the base city to serve Deyang Machinery, no one thinks that there is anything wrong with this approach, but they are proud to be able to work in such a large group, and they are sincerely admired by the senior management of the group to withstand the pressure of the mechanical college and seek greater welfare for the company, because the cost saved will be reflected in the welfare of each employee. ”

Hearing this, the Force was completely speechless.

even had some sneering meanings, thinking to himself, in Meng Xiaoxiao's eyes, does his performance seem particularly "hypocritical" and "childish"?

Meng Xiaoxiao clapped her hands lightly, got up and said: "Okay, Brother Dali, since you have done such a thing, you will inevitably become the target of many forces, this is not a place to stay for a long time, come with me, I will arrange a secret place for you to hide for a while." ”

The Force shook his head and said: "I escaped from the sea and sky feast along the Huancheng River, there are many places to go, and I can even escape from the city as quickly as possible before they react, this is all a way, the reason why I came here is that the more I think about it afterwards, the more panicked I become, and I want to talk to you, and finally I came here...... Now I've been talking to you for a while, although I think what you said also has a lot of crooked reasoning, but after all, I feel better, and you don't have to worry about me later, I can't bring trouble to you. ”
