Chapter Thirty-Eight: Salvation Can Save
When manpower is exhausted......
Yang Yun closed his eyes gently, what No. 10032 said was such a simple truth, although the fourth-order powerhouse was powerful, and the innate weapons of civilization were magical, but if the scope was expanded to the multiverse level, it would be nothing. No one can save everyone, No. 10032 is not good, Xin Bi'an is not good, not even Sanqing Daozun, and even the Emperor himself......
"The ideal state of being able to save everyone is the most perfect state, a scene that only appears in fairy tales and stories, and the reality is cruel."
No. 10032 recounts this truth in a bland manner, as if talking about what to eat tonight: "Most of the time, we have to make a choice, do we choose to abandon the lives of five people to save the lives of ten? Or do you choose to save the life of a scientist and thus abandon the life of a ruffian? β
"Do you choose to spend an hour rescuing one person, or do you choose to spend two hours rescuing 10 people?"
Xin Bi'an didn't speak, but her right hand had unconsciously clenched into a fist, and her beautiful palm was pinched out by her fingernails with five blood marks, and No. 10032 glanced at it slightly and continued: "Xin Bi'an, this is different from any of our previous missions. In the previous mission, we may only need to erase the weird, destroy the ghosts, and even kill the hopeless humans whose minds have been polluted by sin, in your opinion, is nothing more than killing the 'inhuman beings'. β
"With mental preparation, you can take the lives of ten people, you can take the lives of a hundred people, you can take the lives of a thousand people. But if you go up to 100 million, to planets, to planes, then unless you're a person like me who is born with a lack of feelings, then you will feel hesitant and difficult to decide, which is actually a very normal thing. β
"Kindness is not a mistake."
"No. 10032, you ......"
Xin Bi'an thought that No. 10032's words had taken a turn for the better, but before her joy appeared on her face, No. 10032 ruthlessly shattered her hopes: "...... But weakness is. β
- I understand that you are very strong, you have the strength of the Demon King Junior plus Jindan-level cultivators, and your cultivation is still the Shangqing Immortal Technique, which is famous for actual combat. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the position of commander of the 4th Regiment.
- It's just that you're not strong enough, because the Demon King is not invincible, at least he is still powerless to deal with Ashiya Michiman, and it is even more impossible to save everyone in this plane, if you can really do this, then at least one of the two deputy legion leaders must be in person.
These are the words that No. 10032 has not yet spoken, but she understands that Xin Bi'an should also understand these truths: "Xin Bi'an, since you are in this position, you must take the corresponding responsibility and make corresponding decisions, just like the person holding the track control stick in the tram problem, there are only two paths you can choose." β
"You can't stop the train, you can't destroy the tracks, you can't make the tram make a handsome drift and stop at the last minute; Nor can the victims tied to the orbit be rescued in advance at a critical moment. The only thing you can do is choose whether to run the tram over five people or over the body of one. β
Select ......
Simbian repeated these two words, and she had never felt so heavy in these two simple words: "But even so, we are here to save them, not to be the destroyer of a plane and the ...... of executioners"
"Naively, every salvation we have is a new chess game, and sacrifice is inevitable. If we want to win the chess game to the end, we must treat everything coldly and equally, and put all the power we have, whether it is people, things, even you and me, on the chessboard. β
"But none of this is a chess game!" Xin Bi'an retorted fiercely: "And life is by no means a pawn to be manipulated!" β
"It's a pawn."
Number 10032 refuted Simbian's words, saying, "Life is never equal...... The life of a scientist is more valuable than the life of a rogue, the life of ten is more valuable than the life of five, the lives of the soldiers of our Fourth Regiment are more valuable than the lives of the people of this plane, and the lives of two of us are worth more than the lives of any one of us in the Fourth Regiment. β
"As the chief and deputy commander of the Fourth Regiment, almost everyone's lives are tied to us, and since we are in this position, we should be even more ruthless."
"Ci is not in charge of the army, that's it."
Xin Bi'an looked at No. 10032 in disbelief, this woman who has been serving as the deputy head and staff officer for a long time, coordinating most of the affairs of the Fourth Regiment, but the side she showed at this moment made her so unfamiliar. Although I also felt that the layout of No. 10032 was a little unkind before, it ......
Suddenly, a red light flashed on the virtual screen in front of No. 10032, and then the data representing the concentration of sin began to rise wildly, and the black fog that had permeated the Japanese island nation began to spread rapidly around.
"We don't have much time left."
Looking at the crazy fluctuations in the data, No. 10032 said directly: "Ashiya Michiman has accelerated his speed and began to spread the sins to other areas, and the pollution of the River of Life is gradually expanding. β
"According to calculations, in three hours sin will permeate the entire planet, and we cannot stop it with our current hands...... Make your decision, your choice. β
No. 10032's gaze looked at Xin Bi'an, who was standing in place, silent, but Yang Yun, who was also standing behind him, had a certain premonition, and at the same time looked at himself who was accepting this memory more than 1,500 years later.
- Yes, although I knew from 10032-2 and Liuli what happened to Xin Bi'an, and what decision she would make, but at that time, how did she think about it?
ββThe commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Tenth Legion of the Human Emperor, a Demon King-level Soul Cultivator, a Jindan-level True Cultivator, and the Inheritor of Tongtian, Xin Bi'an...... If it were her, what kind of words would she say?
Yang Yun gently closed his eyes, Xin Bi'an's memory crossed in front of his eyes, his emotions resonated, and the fire in his heart was burning, for this difficult choice and powerlessness over the status quo.
The surging emotions have broken the dike, and what was once thought to be an obstacle is no longer an obstacle.
Breakthrough from the future is so simple.
Will it come naturally, or will it be accumulated? Yang Yun didn't know, he didn't need to know, there was only one thing he knew, and that was his third-order gene lock, which was quietly opened at this moment.
- If, if I am Simbian, if I am Simbian, if I am Simbian, if I am Simbian!
Thinking is accelerating, simulating, generating. And Yang Yun, at this moment, also seemed to coincide with Xin Bi'an's figure, and opened his mouth to pick up the words of No. 10032: "Those ordinary people who have done nothing but want to be destroyed, what have they done wrong?" β
"They didn't do anything wrong."
After asking and answering himself, Yang Yun continued: "Obviously, it is because of Ashiya Michiman, that they have become innocent victims, but we have to recognize them as evil because of this, and destroy everything together? β
"Under the sky...... There is no such thing! β
Yang Yun lowered his head and said word by word: "I, I don't understand those big truths, but I also know that if I choose to give up on them and these innocent people at this time, then there will really be no one to save them." In times of crisis, there is only responsibility. Before that, someone had to stand up and fight, and then die. β
"So, I'm going to save them!"
"That's your answer? Even if that choice could cost you and all of us? β
Crossing the curtain of time, No. 10032 calmly looked at Yang Yun - this is not surprising, since Xin Bi'an can survive in the form of spiritual light, then as Chu Xuan's half-brother and sister, No. 10032, who has arranged the next thing in advance, naturally has the corresponding means.
"No, that's Simbian's answer."
But to the surprise of No. 10032, Yang Yun shook his head: "I'm not a general in command of thousands of people, and my contact with Xin Bi'an has only been for a short moment, so I can only turn on part of her idea of simulating the third-order gene lock, and then work backwards from the conclusion." β
"It's just that even if they have different experiences, people can still understand each other emotionally and spiritually. Because human feelings, those good things, are always connected. β
"So, what is your answer?" No. 10032's tone was inaudible, but he asked very calmly.
"I won't say much more, because if it were you, you would definitely leave a corresponding backhand in the core control room of Rengominiade, and when Ruri arrives in this space, you will know the corresponding information. It's like you're standing before me right now, choosing to unleash kindness on me. β
"Well, then, I will answer you...... I may not be able to save everybody, but I can save what I can, and I want to do what I can. β
Yang Yun raised his eyes, calmly met the eyes of No. 10032, and said the last sentence.
"That's why I'm here."
