Chapter 199: Ethical Scales
Arthur was stunned, just now, he was left out of the plan.
In fact, it should be a good thing to be excluded from such a plan, and he did not want to participate in such a brutal slaughter at all, which was simply morally degenerate.
But why don't everyone else quit? Do they think it's a good idea? Everyone looks like this, it's like they don't have enough consciousness.
"Minister, let me carry out the massacre, I can do it alone." Jiang Yichuan raised his hand and proposed, "Alice needs Xiao Ming to be by her side to exert stable abnormal resistance, and it has been proven that as long as you have made a contract with a demon, you will not be invaded by dreams, so I think I am very suitable as an attacker." ”
Su Ming looked at Jiang Yichuan in surprise, he knew that this was the captain who wanted to do the dirty work for him.
"No, you need the Eye of Charm to control the High Priest, and you're sure to stay. Flora had saved the village by killing the corrupt before, and the villagers trusted her very much, and this trust could not be wasted, and Arthur and Liu Feiyun had to carry out a conservative plan and could not participate...... So. ”
Sylvie looked at Su Ming and said slowly, "This matter can only be entrusted to you." ”
Su Ming looked up at Sylvie and opened his mouth: "Minister, this matter ......"
"It's an order, think of yourself as a robot, as a knife without self-awareness." Sylvie emphasized.
Su Ming was stunned, he knew that this was an order, but he didn't intend to refuse!
Sylvie glanced at Su Ming meaningfully, and waved her hand to the others: "The others are full, right?" Let's all go out for a while, I want to talk to Su Ming alone. ”
Flora stood up and glanced at Su Ming before leaving.
Arthur reacted a beat slowly, and was pulled by Liu Feiyun before he reacted and walked outside in a daze.
Ten seconds later, only Sylvi and Su Ming were left in the room, and even Xia Xiaoyu left, she felt that this kind of conversation would be better for Su Ming to think alone.
"Immoral" things are always easy to do when no one is watching.
In the same way, it is better to talk about "immoral" things with people who are also "immoral".
As soon as the others left, and as soon as the door closed, Sylvie spoke:
"Xiao Ming, there are many correct truths in this world, but there are very few people who can always abide by the truth.
Let's start with a simple truth, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, but it's possible to get both fish and bear's paws, provided you are strong enough.
Corresponding? There is also the truth that mercy is not in charge of the army. ”
If I had to say that, how much more could I say? But I know very well that reasoning is useless.
Even an idiot can understand these truths? But the only ones who can really do it are idiots.
I've seen a lot of people like you who want to do the right thing? But in the end all the people lost, and they all regretted it! ”
"Now you think you can win? But when the time comes, not only may it not win? Flora, Alice, and Genicus? Even I could die.
Gamblers will only regret when they lose, and then they will honestly do things according to the right principles.
And before that...... These people have to fight once and lose once.
Is the price of losing miserable? Do you understand? ”
Su Ming was a little confused? He didn't understand why Sylvie was saying such things to him, as if they were comforting him, but he didn't need to be comforted.
Sylvie took a light breath and spoke slowly, "Nightstar has faced a similar choice to you...... Four times in total? He won three times and lost the last time. If you're going to quit this action? It's possible to quit, but I personally don't want you to quit.
You said that you joined the Bureau of Investigation in order to become stronger, so I tell you now, whether you are in the Bureau of Investigation or not, if you want to become stronger, you will definitely encounter such a choice, you have to think clearly about what you want, in order to avoid the wrong decision. ”
Sylvie was unusually very serious, and she observed Su Ming quietly, quietly and carefully.
Sylvie didn't guide the interests of ordinary people, she had seen too many people and things in her long life, she knew that most people could not be changed, and most people did not have the talent to "evolve".
Sylvie is dismissive of those who are not talented, and she understands that there is always only a small group of people who move history forward, and that if you want to make the world better, you only need to find that small group of people.
The reason why she would sit here and patiently tell Su Ming some useless truths was because Su Ming might be that kind of person - he was a rare, qualified person, he had stronger qualifications than Yexing and Jiang Yichuan.
Nightstar has the most ideal beliefs, but his beliefs are so strong that they ignore reality.
Nightstar's steadfastness comes from great strength, and he has achieved perfect results so many times that he feels like he can do it every time.
And Jiang Yichuan has the clearest goal, but his goal is so clear that he can abandon everything except the goal.
Both of them were Sylvie's favorite subordinates, but they didn't grow up to be as likely as her.
But Su Mingyou, if he can make the right decision while maintaining this understanding at this time, then he can become the same person as the deputy director.
It's tricky, and trying to get him to change is just as hard as trying to get a good man to slaughter innocents, Sylvie thought to herself.
If not, then it will only be a second night star...... At that point, there is nothing else left to do but carefully pick tasks to improve his survival rate.
In Sylvie's eyes, Su Ming was contemplative, but in fact, he was deserting.
Now he was thinking about another question, and just now, he remembered the moment he killed Anthony.
At that time, he knew that it was impossible for him alone to stop the Plague Messenger, and even if there was an annihilation mode, he would have to rely on the flames to get closer, but when he killed Anthony, what he wanted was not to protect others, but to protect Xia Xiaoyu.
The act and result of the killing did not change, but the motive for the killing made Su Ming feel overwhelmed.
Perhaps this is the reason why the super-intuitive warned in the first place, once there is concern, the motivation for the choice will no longer be correct.
If next time, there are 10,000 innocent people on the scales, and Xia Xiaoyu, then ...... How will you choose?
10,000 innocent people...... Does this have anything to do with me?
Su Ming had this idea in his heart, he knew that it was wrong to think so, so he directly raised the weight of the trade-off to 10 million.
If there were 10 million innocent ordinary people, people in an entire city, who compared them with Xia Xiaoyu on the balance of life and death, then what should he do at that time?
Those 10 million people are indeed pitiful, but why did Xia Xiaoyu die for them?
Saving people is a good act, you can't say that saving a person, and if you die 10 million people, you have done bad things, so choosing Xia Xiaoyu is not a bad thing, right? It's just a small good deed.
But Su Ming knew that this was sophistry, because as long as Xia Xiaoyu was replaced by Ancilier, the situation would be completely different.
If he indirectly caused the deaths of Xia Xiaoyu, Arthur, and others in order to help Ancilielle, then how should it be counted?
At this time, you can't say that you still saved someone, right? He must have killed everyone.
Therefore, the balance of life and death is fundamentally a subjective product, and there is no objective standard.
The stranger only exists in the scales to save or not to save; Companions only exist in the scales to save, and failure to save is harm; And the enemy ...... does not exist on this scale.
The value of an enemy can only be demonstrated through the encounters of strangers and companions.
Thinking about it this way, the conclusion is that the companion must be saved, the enemy must die, and the stranger can be saved, and if he is not saved, it is okay - the ordinary soldier should follow such a clear guideline, help the companion, destroy the enemy, and save the civilians.
Well...... The guidelines that everyone is abiding by, this should be the rules that have been tempered thousands of times, and it is right to do so.
If this conclusion was correct, he should have killed those children at the Black Gate, and he should not have released Anciliel now.
But isn't it strange to abandon feelings and use the pros and cons to decide what to do and what not to do?
"This time it's an order." Sylvie emphasized.
In Sylvie's opinion, it is impossible to find any changes in Su Ming in a short period of time, so let's use the word of order to calm the guilt for the time being.
Finally, Su Ming also came back to his senses.
"Minister, I think you may have misunderstood me."
"Huh? Misunderstand? Sylvie blinked, a little puzzled.
"I think killing the Cultists of Hope is something that must be done, so there's nothing to hesitate about in this matter."
Sylvie didn't react for a while, and after carefully reviewing it, she realized that her guess of Su Ming's thoughts at the beginning seemed to be wrong.
"So, you wanted to kill in the first place?" Sylvie asked tentatively.
"Well, it's not that I wanted to kill in the first place, it's only a matter of time before I kill it, but since the minister has advanced this matter, he can do it as soon as possible."
Sylvie nodded, a little surprised in her heart, because Su Ming's answer was very standard and completely in line with her heart.
Frankly speaking, if Su Ming had to answer from the bottom of his heart now, then his growth was a little too fast, and his maturity was so fast that she couldn't believe it.
"Don't you feel guilty about killing them?" Sylvie asked.
Su Ming frowned, his face puzzled:
"Guilt? This thing...... Can it involve guilt? Personally, I don't think there's any need to feel guilty, it's not so much guilt as sympathy.
If we put the people of our Investigation Bureau, as well as the people in the outside world who are being affected by the white fog, and these Hope Sect followers on the scale, it is of course a natural choice to abandon the Hope Sect.
And we're going to get into this dangerous situation where everyone we want to teach is responsible, and that's the price they should pay.
They deserve sympathy, but we don't need to hesitate, right? ”
Sylvi stared at Su Ming for a long time, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.
