Chapter 355: The Tram Problem
In the coffee shop, Nero sat at a table with a steaming cup of coffee in front of him, his head bowed, his brow furrowed, and a gloomy atmosphere hung over his body.
"What's the matter, you seem to have a lot on your mind today." Sitting opposite Nero, Leticia picked up the coffee in front of her and looked at Nero with a smile on her face, "Tell me if there's anything you want, maybe I'll help you solve it." ”
"It's really possible." Nero smiled indifferently, then leaned back in his chair and looked at Leticia, "I'm sorry, I called you out at this time, you obviously still have a job in the store, it seems a little willful." ”
"You used to be like this, and if you weren't willful, you wouldn't be Nero." Leticia smiled and said, "Okay, you called me out at this time, you must not have just come to talk to me, right?" If there is any trouble, just say it and let me hear it, but it's really surprising, and it's interesting that Nero is still troubled by something. ”
"Hey, I'm a normal person, okay." Nero smiled helplessly, and after a moment of silence, a serious expression regained on his face, "Leticia, I ask you a question, it may feel weird to stand up, but I want to hear your answer, can I?" ”
"Weird question? I hope there's no ghosts or anything like that, I can't take these things anymore. Leticia smiled lightly, "Okay, you say, I'll listen." ”
Nero cleared his throat and then spoke: "Suppose, I mean, if you have a track in front of you, and the track splits into two railroads somewhere in front of you, and one of the rails has one person tied to it, and the other has a hundred people tied to the other, and you have a lever in your hand, and according to the lever you can choose to let the train in front of you go to one of the roads, if it were you, what would you choose?" ”
Leticia was silent, looking at Nero with sparkling eyes, and after a moment she spoke, "Hmm...
… You're such a corny question, I've heard about the tram problem for a long time. ”
"Hey, I'm just asking you for the answer, what does it have to do with whether the question is old-fashioned or not." Nero's face was embarrassed, and he knew that it was a little delicate to use this question to represent the island of Ireland, but what he needed now was a person's opinion, and what he hoped was that this opinion would support the answer he had already received in his heart.
"I've seen an anime before." Leticia gently stirred the coffee with the spoon in her hand, looked at the ceiling of the coffee house, and showed a look of memory, "The protagonist is a magician killer, he wants to get rid of all the evils in the world, so he hopes to get the Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes, but when he came into contact with the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail gave him a way to get rid of all evils, it was a parable, there were two ships sailing on the sea, one with three hundred people on board, the other with two hundred people, suddenly home, the ship with two hundred people broke down, If they don't protect the two hundred and board the ship of the three hundred, they will surely die, but if they are allowed to get on the ship, they will all sink to the bottom of the sea because of the heavy load...... The choice made by the Holy Grail was to kill the two hundred, so that the three hundred would be saved. ”
Nero's face twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.
"Then, the ship continued to sail, but the boat carrying three hundred people also broke down, there were lifeboats on board, but the lifeboats could only carry two hundred people, and the remaining hundred people had only one way to die, and the Holy Grail made the choice again, and killed the hundred people, and there was no more worries."
"When there is sin, it kills it, and after a period of peace in the world it reappears, and then it kills new evil...... This is a tool to make that wish come true. Nero smiled faintly and shook his head.
"The way the Holy Grail fulfills his wish is done according to the way of the person who made the wish himself, and that magician killer is himself a lone executor of justice, so killing is the only way to fulfill his wish." Leticia said
"But does that really solve the problem?" If you follow the rules, you will never reach the end, just like the railroad track that binds people, today you want to kill one person to save the hundred people, if you kill that person, tomorrow there will be a new person on that track, and on the other track, there will be ninety-nine people tied. ”
Nero's brow furrowed slightly, and he looked at Leticia, and Laetitia's gaze contained an extremely deep worry at the moment.
"But, Nero, you must have the answer in your mind before you came to ask me what I thought, right?" Leticia smiled slightly, "I know, you're not the kind of person who would never make such a choice, you're bothered by another thing, you can see the source of the problem, but you can't touch the source with your own hands, that is, you actually want to push the train off the tracks, but you don't have enough strength, right?" ”
"Leticia......" Nero gasped, then smiled helplessly and shook his head, "You're really...... Anyway, you're as smart as ever, and my mind will never be able to hide from you. ”
"That's because you're a person who shows everything on your face, and I just happen to be more observant." Leticia also smiled brightly, then retracted her smile, and said softly, "Nero, I don't know what you're going through now, I think, even if I ask you, you shouldn't tell me, right, but what I want to say is, if you have something you want to do, just do it, back then you were able to leave without hesitation even your own family, I don't believe that there will be anything in this world that can stop you, if there really is, then you come to me, I will also help you, Although it may not have much effect, it is just ......"
"You've helped me today." Nero said, getting up from his chair and smiling at Leticia, "Thank you, Leticia. ”
