"What happened after that?"

I hurriedly asked him, but he digressed.

"No, let's not talk about that. I have some questions for you now, and you don't have to think about it, just answer it intuitively. ”

It seems that if I don't agree to his terms, I won't be able to listen to the rest of the story, and I can only agree because of my curiosity.

He took another cigarette and said his question: "Suppose you have a person who is particularly important to you and is facing death, and you are given a chance to save him, but only at the cost of your life, what will you choose?" ”

"Needless to say, I'm definitely going." As he said, I didn't think about it, and I chose the path I stuck to without any doubt.

"Well, the speed of the answer is satisfactory." He didn't comment on what I answered, but only commented on my speed, as if he had known the answer.

"Well, what if that person was replaced by someone who had nothing to do with you?" He spoke in a strange tone that made it impossible to fathom what was going on in his mind.

It can be said that Vincent asked a question that I had thought of in advance, and the answer was of course already known: "It's still like that, my answer won't change." ”

"Bang~~Bang~~Bang~~~" He clapped his hands, then nodded silently.

"Yes, yes, faster than I thought. Although the result is the same, most people will have a little hesitation when they come here. ”

"It would be very worrying if my position was hesitant to this extent." I had a slight disdain for what Vincent said, which was more or less evident from my tone.

"Not really." Hearing me say this, he just smiled: "Of course, these two questions are just a warm-up, and the real problems are later." ”

"It may not be a good question, but I also hope that you will answer me with a first-moment thought, without having to think deeply."

I looked at him nonchalantly, thinking that the sunny young man Vincent had such a side, and I wonder what Hans would say if he knew it, it must be funny.

Then, like a sorcerer divining the fate of others, his voice seemed to suck people in: "Suppose you are at the fork of a railroad right now, and there is one person tied to the left side of the railroad and five people tied to the right side of the road. Now that the train is coming, you are standing so close that even if you tell the train to brake urgently, you can't stop it before it runs over the people. You have a lever in front of you, and the only thing you can do now is choose whether to pull it or not. If it is not pulled, the train will pass on the right side with five people tied, and if it is pulled, there will be only one victim. What choice will you make? Trood. ”

I was stunned after listening to this, I didn't know how to answer. If you start from the perspective of saving people, then pulling the lever is the right choice, which can effectively reduce the victimization, but in this case, the person who should not have died is because of me

"What the hell is this?! There is no answer to this question at all! I couldn't suppress the emotion in my heart and yelled at him.

No, the answer to this question is obvious, there are only two choices - to pull or not to pull. I didn't say that option was right or wrong, but you have to give me a choice now! Trood! Like a man! Don't mother-in-law! Where did you go! He said in a very strong tone, which was not at all on the same level as I had answered him earlier.

I was stunned by his tone, and I didn't say anything for a long time, and finally I was pressured to say my answer: "I choose not to pull." ”

"Hmph, run away. What a "

In the face of his provocative tone, I retorted: "That one person is innocent, and he has no obligation to do it for those five people."

"Don't talk nonsense!" He interrupted me loudly, grabbed me by the neck and said, "Don't tell me this, it's entirely your own reason, it's because you don't want to kill that person with your own hands, because you're afraid of blood on your hands!" ”

With that, he put me down, and I sat down unsteadily, and sat on the ground.

Throwing away the half of the cigarette in his hand, he lit another cigarette, I have never seen him smoke so quickly as tonight, he returned to his usual tone and said slowly: "You are right, that person is innocent, he should not die, but what about the five people?" ”

Speaking of this, he didn't mean to ask me, but continued to analyze by himself: "Of course, if everyone is considered equal, then the importance of five people is definitely greater than that of one. But I think everyone is unique, and it's foolish to divide them equally. You think so, too. ”

Before I could answer, he continued, "But here's the problem, if you look at five people as the same person, then the answer will be no." And if you pull it, although you saved five people, compared to the inner condemnation of killing one person, that honor is not worth mentioning at all. ”

He turned to me and said, "If you want to ask me what the answer is, I'll pull that lever." But I wouldn't think that the man died for those five people, and wouldn't push the blame out. It wasn't the train that caused his death, it was me. I will carry that sin on my shoulders to save people, and if I don't have that awareness, I won't say any more nonsense like this afternoon. ”

"What would you do if I put you in this afternoon, and the infantrymen who followed you were killed, and you still didn't rescue them? Think, 'This is the end of the story, I've tried?' That's right, the warriors who went with you to save people. ”

I smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "If it weren't for you, I would definitely make a big mistake, but my future is clear, and I won't run away from it in the future." ”

I said in a teasing tone, "But now I have something to say." ”

"What did you say?!" Vincent looked at me in amazement, and even the cigarette in his mouth was crooked.

"Can you finish the rest of the story, I'm still interested."

"Che, you're still thinking about it. Now that you understand, I don't have anything to keep, so I'll prick up my ears and listen. ”
