The sky is low, thick and lead clouds are pouring down goose feather-sized snowflakes, and where the snowflakes fall on the ground, two railroad tracks meet, you stand next to them, and the lane gate that controls the train to change lanes is at your fingertips, pull it down, and the train will travel from the track it was traveling on to another track.

In front of the tracks, three children lay on the track where the train was originally traveling, and on the other track, an adult was lying. So, when it's time to make a choice, do you want to pull down the barrier gate to save the three children, or do you choose not to pull it to save the adult?

......

Shigego wakes up in a jolt and finds that his limbs are firmly bound by ropes. He looked back and forth, and saw Xinghe, Anton, Lanyue, and Emilio, all lying motionless on the ground, their hands and feet bound by ropes.

He looked up and saw Sniff, the Moro man holding the helm, looking straight ahead, pulling some levers from time to time. Following his gaze, Shigego saw the sky outside through the porthole, which was full of snowflakes and the lead clouds in the sky were so low that it felt like he could reach with his hands.

No, Jugo felt that something was wrong, he struggled to get up from the ground, and threw himself on the side of the porthole, the view outside the window made his legs weak, they were in the sky, and not only that, they were falling!

Snef, who was at the helm, glanced back at him, "Are you awake?"

His voice was unemotional, as if he were just asking casually, and he gripped the steering wheel with difficulty, and his hands were full of green muscles.

Shigego shook his head, and he felt as if there was a fault in his memory. He struggled to remember, and finally remembered that he should have been in a tavern, and why Sniff, who should have been tied up, was at the helm while Anton and Anton were both lying on the ground.

There was another violent jolt, and Jugo was thrown off the ground at his feet, and the Moro looked down at him, and said nothing, continuing to operate his steering wheel and numerous levers.

From his chin, Sniff's face was pale, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he looked very weak, but for the first time, Shigego saw the shadow of a normal person on his body, and before he could think about it, he heard Sneve say coldly, "Prepare to crash!"

Strike?

Shigego was a little unsure, so before he was ready, he felt a series of turbulence, and the cabin they were in had a close contact with the ground, but it immediately bounced again, and when the cabin came into contact with the ground again, it immediately rolled over due to uneven force.

Shigego only felt like he was being tossed around, all parts of his body and the cabin were in close contact, and when everything finally stopped, there was not a single place in his body that didn't hurt. The cabin was also dilapidated due to the emotional contact with the ground, and a large number of snowflakes fell through the broken portholes.

Sneve got up from the ground, straightened his crumpled suit, kicked open the hatch, walked out, and two minutes later, he returned, walked to the edge of the galaxy, and reached for his back collar.

"What are you going to do?" said Shigego as soon as he opened his mouth as he felt a heart-piercing pain coming from all over his body.

Sneve glanced at him, didn't answer, just dragged Xinghe out, and through the open hatch, Shigego saw him put Xinghe on a plank, and then dragged Xinghe into the wind and snow with a rope tied to the plank.

A few minutes later, he walked back, and with the empty plank, he walked into the cabin again, and his hand grabbed the back collar of Arazuki.

"Where are you going to take them?" exclaimed Shigego.

Sneef still didn't answer, dragged Lan Yue towards the outside of the cabin, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly let out a painful wail, ripped off the blindfold he was wearing on his left eye, and black blood flowed from his left eye tightly closed.

Sneve reached out to wipe away the black blood, dragged Ranyue out of the cabin, and disappeared into the snow with her.

He dragged Ranyue away, Anton with him, Dr. Emilio with him, until he finally walked towards him.

Shigego felt very scared, and he wanted to escape, but his foot was injured by the impact of the fall just now, and he couldn't use any strength. But when Sneve held out his hand to him, he struggled, and Sneve was impatient, and opened his left eye, and with his action, it was as if the wound was torn again, and black blood poured out of his left eye.

When the eye met Shigego's gaze, a shudder from his soul made him unable to move, and he could only let Sneef drag himself to the plank, and he dragged him into the snow.

The wreckage of the airship quickly disappeared into the snow, and Shigego lay on the plank, very worried, he had no idea where Sneve was going to drag him, and the unknown was the most torturous.

Finally Sneef stopped, and Shigego heard the rustle of his feet on the snow, and he walked towards him, with a sharp knife in his hand.

Shigego closed his eyes nervously, thinking that he was going to die here, but he hadn't felt a sharp knife stab into his body for a long time, and he opened his eyes blankly, to find that the rope that bound his hand had been cut.

Jugo was a little dazed, he saw Sneef casually throw away the sharp knife, and sighed at his frozen hand, he moved his body and raised his head, "I once asked you a question, and you haven't answered me yet." ”

Jugo had a bad feeling, and he began to look around for the shadows of the stars, and soon he found them, not too far away, the stars, Arazuki, and Anton were lying on the ground, and Dr. Emilio was lying a little farther away from them.

Snake walked past him as if looking for something, and finally it stopped in front of a pole and tossed it back and forth, "Good, not frozen." ”

He took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and then looked up, "This is what I told you about the lane changer, the thing that can change the rails that 'Newton' travels, and I think it will be easier for you to come up with the answer to the question that day." ”

The question of the day?Shigego lowered his head, and in the snow he found two railroad tracks, which branched off in front of him, one of which stretched to their side of the galaxy, and the other to Dr. Emilio's, and he looked up and heard the sound of a whistle, which he had heard not long ago, the whistle of a Newton.

"It's a multiple-choice question, you only have to pull down the barrier or not at all, there is no third option. Sneef looked at him with a blank expression, "It's my last doppelganger who is driving Newton right now, so you don't have to leave it to chance, you don't have to think that the driver will brake and slow down." ”

The roar of the Newton was getting closer, and Shigego could already faintly see its silhouette in the wind and snow, and soon it would whizz past, crushing the stars or Dr. Emilio into powder. His first instinct was to run over and move them off the tracks, but he had just taken a step before he fell into the snow, and the injuries he had just suffered from the impact made him unable to walk.

Sneve walked over and pulled him back to the lane gate, finally urging, "You're running out of time to think, and I think you'd better not waste them on useless things." ”

Shigego raised his head and looked at the train getting closer and closer, and trembled and put his hand on the lane changer, the metal lever exposed to the wind and snow almost froze his hand on it, and his hands and even his whole body kept shaking, not knowing whether to pull down the barrier or not.

Finally, he couldn't stand the pressure and broke down, and he cried and begged Sneve for mercy, "Don't... I can't do it, I can't do it, please ......"

However, his tears did not move the Moro man in the slightest, and he announced with a blank face, "Your time is running out. ”

Why do you have to make this choice... Why, whether it's Xinghe or Doctor Emilio, he doesn't want them to die, but why do you have to force him to choose, why, he broke down and begged Snaef for mercy, "Don't, don't let me choose, I'll choose myself, I'll change ...... with them"

Sneve grabbed him by the collar and had a strange expression on his face, crying and laughing, Shigego couldn't tell the difference, he just heard Sneve whisper in his ear, "Sorry, there is no option." ”

After saying that, he let go of his hand and threw Shigego on the ground, "You have less than three minutes of time, you must think about it." ”

Shigego fell to the ground, and his spirit almost collapsed, and suddenly his hand touched a hard object, a sharp knife that Sneve had thrown away, for he had seen Uncle Walit in the abdomen with the dagger he had stabbed into, and he was afraid of such a thing. But by this moment, his spirit had already collapsed, and he grabbed the sharp knife, and stabbed it almost in Snef's lower abdomen, pulled it out, and stabbed it again, until the blood splashed into his eyes, and he came to his senses, trembling and throwing it away.

Sneve didn't stop at all, he had been stabbed four or five times in the lower abdomen, but there was not much blood, only a little black blood oozing out of the wounds where the intestines could already be seen, as if there was no blood in his body anymore.

He staggered over to Shigego, grabbed his hand, pressed it against the lane change gate, and said, "Two minutes." ”

The voice burst into Shigego's mind like a talisman, causing him to fall into a trance for a while, and then he heard Sniff's seductive voice.

"Ling's death is not your fault, but Anton blames you for this, not giving you a good face, and Xinghe and Lanyue, if they hadn't come to Shiva two years ago, your parents wouldn't have died, and your Uncle Walit wouldn't have died, you can still live happily with them now, and let Newton run over you, you can make these bastards disappear from the world. ”

Shigego looked up in pain and shouted with a crying voice, "Shut up!"

Sneve didn't stop because of his crying, he continued: "Not happy, then pull down the lane gate and crush that female demon to death, don't you think you owe her a lot of favors, haven't you always disliked trouble, pull down the lane gate, as long as you crush her, then you don't have to pay back the favors you owe, no one will say that you did something wrong, because I forced you to make this decision, and your friends will be grateful to you for saving them!"

"Shut up!" Shigego shoved him hard.

Snake was pushed to the ground as soon as he spoke, and he glanced in the direction of the Newton, "Thirty seconds!"

The Newton was spitting steam, the brass-colored body was breaking through the wind and snow, and Shigego held the lane gate with both hands, feeling his heart dripping blood, and he looked up to the sky and yelled, "Ah!" made a decision.

The metallic train whizzed past him, bringing a strong wind through the fork, and he sat on the ground as if he had lost all his strength, his eyes muttering, "I'm sorry... Sorry ......"

PS: Forgive my bad taste, in the original idea, Sneve prepared those choices for many people to look at their hearts, but in the end, for various reasons, this idea did not come true, to be honest I still have some regrets. So the guessing session has arrived, did Shigego pull down the lane change gate?
