Chapter 2 Sensitivity to nitrogen triiodide and drying of phosphorus pentoxide

"Hey, buddy, you...... Don't mess around, haha. Faced with Xiao Chen's actions, I couldn't help but snort, stared at the flask in his hand, and swallowed.

"You, all sit on the stool in the corner of the room, and I'll ask you questions, and you answer my questions in order. You only need to answer yes or no, and you don't need any other extra answers. Xiao Chen gently shook the flask in his hand and warned.

Although I don't know if the thing in Xiao Chen's hand will really explode, but as a high school student, I do know that nitrogen triiodide will explode, and it is also a crimson particle, and this Xiao Chen will stay in this weird and gloomy laboratory, obviously not a normal person, maybe he will really do something crazy, under Xiao Chen's threat, several of us secretly looked at each other a few times, and in the end, no one dared to stand up against Xiao Chen. Obviously, there are six of us, and theoretically we can completely put down Xiao Chen, but in the face of Xiao Chen's simple threat, none of us dared to say anything.

Under Xiao Chen's threat, the six of us sat silently in the corner of Xiao Chen's laboratory, Xiao Chen extinguished the fire of the alcohol lamp, glanced at all of us, and said lightly:

"Hehe, the effect of responsibility diffusion, people's hearts are really interesting."

After speaking, Xiao Chen stood in front of us and said:

"Now that I'm going to ask questions, you just have to answer yes or no. Question 1: Do you believe that your previous encounters in the unrestricted free space are real, or is it just an illusion akin to group hypnosis? If you believe that what happened to you is real, say yes, and if you don't believe it, say no. Give you ten seconds to think. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Chen took a bottle from the counter on the side, and I saw that the bottle was actually labeled with concentrated sulfuric acid.

"If you don't answer, then I'll ......," Xiao Chen said, shaking the bottle with sulfuric acid label in his hand.

Xiao Chen's actions really startled me, but Xiao Chen's cold gaze and the flask in his hand made me dare not move, because I knew that as long as he threw the bottle in his hand at me, my face would probably be ruined.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Under Xiao Chen's intimidation, six people, including me, shouted out their answers one after another without thinking. I heard Jiang Xueqing's trembling voice sitting next to me, she leaned against me tightly, covering her face, and her whole body was trembling. She was the last of the six to answer, and she waited until all of us had raised our hands to answer before she hurried to answer.

"The Band Float Effect." Xiao Chen glanced at Jiang Xueqing and said lightly. "The answer is quite neat, but you're still a beat slower."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jiang Xueqing hurriedly covered her face with her arms and screamed in fright.

"What are you going to do...... Youβ€”Don't splash me!! ”

"When did I say I was going to splash you?" Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Xue Qingdao lightly, "I never said what would happen to people who answered slowly. You mistakenly thought I was going to throw sulfuric acid in your face. The white space effect. ”

Xiao Chen's words made Jiang Xueqing, who was covering her cheeks, stagnate, and the whole person was suddenly dumbfounded, and she looked out of her sight from the crook of her arm, looking at Xiao Chen in horror.

"But this time it's different, if any of you is slow to answer, I'll spill something from this bottle in his face." This time, Xiao Chen shook the bottle of sulfuric acid in his hand again.

"The second question: Miyoko is not a god, but just an intelligent life being or a human being with supernatural abilities beyond our imagination. For this conclusion, I think the correct answer is yes, and the opposite answer is no. Give your answers before I count to ten. 1.2......"

Xiao Chen began to count, this time, the speed of answering was faster than the last time, but the results of the answers were not consistent, there were five people, all of them said no, and only one person said yes, that person, it was me.

Xiao Chen's gaze instantly fell on my face.

Seeing Xiao Chen's gaze, my heart sank, and I thought he would attack me, but what made me a little relieved was that Xiao Chen didn't do anything, just said lightly:

"The speed of the answer is about the same, so I'll let you go this time. Last question, are you pragmatists? ”

This time, Xiao Chen didn't give time to answer, because he barely understood Xiao Chen's question.

After a long silence, at last, I had the courage to raise my hand and ask my question:

"That...... Can you ask a question...... What is Pragmatist? …… I didn't understand what you meant......"

Xiao Chen slowly picked up the bottle in his hand, I swallowed hard, and I felt my own heart pounding, as if it would fly out of my mouth the next moment.

Xiao Chen's dark eyes looked at me fixedly, and said:

"There was a factory fire, a thousand employees were trapped in it, the factory only had two exits, but both exits collapsed, the exits were blocked by the collapsed ruins, there were thirty and seventy people under the two piles of rubble, you have engineering explosives in your hands to blow up a pile of rubble and let the remaining 900 employees escape, otherwise a thousand people will die in the fire. Pragmatist, you blow up the pile of rubble that flooded the smaller people, do you think this is the right choice? ”

I'm not mentally retarded, of course I heard the meaning of Xiao Chen's third question, thinking of what happened in that place called unlimited free space before, I understand very well that Xiao Chen's question now means to ask us if our seven-person team is in danger, is anyone willing to give up their right to live and save others.

This kind of direct but direct question that goes straight to the deepest part of people's hearts, I have lived for so many years, and it is the first time that I have been asked, and I was stunned, not only me, but also the people around me fell into silence. Because if someone answers yes, then according to the scene described by Xiao Chen, he will become a murderer. But if someone answers no, then it means that he is a person with a sense of justice, but is this so-called sense of justice really justice from the heart, or is it purely to not appear to be a pervert with the potential to be a murderer in front of others, and the image of the Virgin Mary is pretended to protect himself?

"Thirty seconds. To be honest," Xiao Chen said indifferently, "If no one answers or says a lie after thirty seconds, I will detonate nitrogen triiodide, and I don't care who will be injured." Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight......" Xiao Chen's eyes were really cold, his expression was extremely serious, it didn't look like he was pretending at all, but really like a madman who planned to die with us, if it was an ordinary person holding a bottle to threaten people, I don't think it would have had such an effect as Xiao Chen.

"Yes......"

"Yes......"

In the face of Xiao Chen's threat, the people present finally began to speak one by one, only me and Tong Xinyi, Teacher Cao Hongli and Jiang Xueqing, who were relatively close, were still silently engaged in ideological struggle. How should I answer Xiao Chen? If I don't answer him, he might really go crazy, but if I answer him, how do I answer?

My wrist suddenly warmed, I was startled, tilted my head slightly, but saw Jiang Xueqing instinctively grabbed my hand, I felt her fingertips trembling, raised her head, I found that she was staring at Xiao Chen nervously, her face was pale, obviously she was completely frightened.

Seeing Jiang Xueqing's appearance, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, because in my impression, Jiang Xueqing and I were classmates, she has always been a goddess image admired by other boys, and her personality is relatively lonely and indifferent, her cold temperament doesn't know how many boys dare not approach from afar.

Today it was really the first time I saw her nervous like this.

I think Jiang Xueqing must have subconsciously grabbed my hand, but the moment Jiang Xueqing's fingertips touched it, my mind was a little refreshed.

"Yes......" Just when I was surprised, I was shocked to hear Teacher Cao Hongli, who was sitting on Jiang Xueqing's right hand, trembling and saying a shocking answer, I turned my head and saw her eyes closed in pain, with shallow tears in the corners of her eyes. Cao Hongli is the political science teacher in our class, and she has always taught us in the political class that human life is equal and that people's right to life cannot be violated......

"Yes......" followed Cao Hongli, and Tong Xinyi, who was still young, also spit out this answer in fear.

In the end, only me and Jiang Xueqing were left unanswered. My brain was spinning, and I could still feel the rhythm of Jiang Xueqing holding my hand trembling slightly.

"Yes......" In the end, even Jiang Xueqing said the same answer as everyone else. Her voice was soft, ethereal, as if the word had taken all her strength. After saying these words, I felt that Jiang Xueqing's hand was loosened as soon as she held me, and the whole person seemed to be weak.

Xiao Chen's gaze fell on Jiang Xueqing's face for a second, and after a second, he looked straight at me and asked:

"So, what about you?"

My heart was pounding, I wanted to speak, but I found that my throat was dry, and I kept opening my mouth three times, and I didn't say a word. It's not that I don't want to, it's that my body doesn't listen to my commands, and I can't speak if I want to.

How do I choose? Am I a pragmatist? Can people really sacrifice others casually to save the majority of people? Is it really possible to sacrifice the minority for the sake of the majority?

I swallowed hard, stared at Xiao Chen in front of me, and said:

"That...... I really can't answer you...... I don't think people have the right to judge the life and death of others...... Even if sacrificing a few can save the many......"

I saw the bottle in Xiao Chen's hand slowly lifted, getting closer and closer to the tip of my nose. And Xiao Chen's gaze became more and more shiny and compelling, like a killer before the robbery.

"So, answer me, what would you do if it were you?" Xiao Chen looked at me quietly and said. "Let a thousand people die together in the fire, or sacrifice some of them and save the remaining nine hundred? Be louder and answer me. ”

"I ......" I involuntarily slid my gaze to the few people next to me, but found that Jiang Xueqing, Cao Hongli, Tong Xinyi and the remaining two were all looking at me with blank faces, and Cao Hongli was even winking at me, as if to remind me not to play tricks.

What to do? What to do? My brain is a mess, but my father has been teaching me since I was a child, no matter how many people there are or how few people are, human life is just as valuable, and most people are not qualified to bully a few people and trample on the lives of a few......

Back then, my father's leg was broken by people in the underworld, this is a lifelong lesson he told me with his body, and I will never forget it when I die.

I lifted my breath fiercely, braced up my courage, and said:

"No! If it were me, I would flip a coin!! I suddenly shouted loudly, "No one is qualified to take other people's lives, only God has that qualification!" If I encounter the situation you say, I will flip a coin, whichever side I choose, it is God's will! God also bears the responsibility for murder! ”

While speaking, I suddenly stood up and rushed towards Xiao Chen in front of me, I wanted to knock Xiao Chen down, but what surprised me was that Xiao Chen's whole person was a sideways, and then a right hand suddenly passed through my armpit, and then a leg ran across my left leg, Xiao Chen's movements were smooth, fast and skillful, I didn't have time to adjust my posture, the center of gravity of the whole person was unstable, and he fell directly to the ground, falling so hard that his eyes were full of stars.

"That's a pretty good answer."

Xiao Chen's deep voice came from my head, and I looked up, only to see his black eyes.

"But what I'm telling you is that that's why I hate 'God.'"
