Chapter 1201 Another Choice
Life is like this sometimes, and you will always be asked to make painful choices when you are not aware of it.
Some people say that Hamlet's choice is to choose life or death. But whether he chooses business or dies, all he needs to be responsible for is himself.
Many people will always face such choices in life, but in most cases, the so-called difficult choices only need to be responsible for their own lives.
Choose to live on your knees, choose to die standing. Choose to bear the burden of humiliation and choose to survive. But no matter what choice is made, in the vast majority of cases the person making the choice is responsible only for himself.
As long as you think it is appropriate, then make your own choice, and regretting is only regretting yourself.
But now David is facing much more than that. The choice he needs to make is not only about himself, but also about others.
I can touch the wrench with my hand, and I can save the person on the next school bus as long as I move it down. But at the same time, another drunk will be crushed to death by himself.
If that's the case, would it be considered that he killed the drunk man himself?
But if you don't move, then a carload of children will lose their lives. Are you sitting idly by?
But no matter what choice you make, you will bear the condemnation of your conscience.
If there is no self, then things happen according to inertia. A drunk lying there will be fine. It was the group of children who died.
Save the drunk or save the child? If it is just a theoretical multiple-choice question, it is actually very easy to make a decision. All people with normal thinking will make up their minds to save the child and kill the drunk.
But does a drunk have to be damned? David could not make such a judgment. He never felt that he had the right to deprive anyone of his life at will. Especially an innocent life.
Must the voice whispering in my ear be credible? Was the drunk as damned as he said? Will the train avoid the school bus smoothly after removing the wrench? All these are questions, and I can't make a simple judgment at all.
If I foolishly and simply believed this charming voice, my brain would have been kicked by a donkey.
"What are you doing, don't you do it? You don't have much time, only two minutes, very soon. By then, all the children on the school bus will be killed by the train. Do you want to watch them all die?"
That annoying voice kept whispering in his ear, which made people extremely irritated. David, who was urging him, quickly pulled down the wrench to make a decision.
"Why are you so eager to ask me to pull down the wrench. Do you have to kill that drunkard?" Although the time is getting tighter and David's heart is getting more and more anxious, but he has been forcing himself to calm down, because in this Sometimes, any impulse will lead to the worst decision.
"Ha, so you're questioning what I just said?"
"Not only do I question, I even suspect that all of this is actually false."
"Hehe, interesting boy. Then you can choose to do nothing, I will not force you, you just wait quietly for two minutes to pass, and then witness the tragedy happen, then I will lift your restraint and let you go Feel how wrong the decision you just made is, when you see the bodies of those children, I believe you will cry bitterly."
Hearing this, David's face couldn't help jumping. This time is exactly what I am most worried about, and now I have lost my ability. I can't even tell whether everything I'm facing is illusion or reality.
Because he couldn't be sure, he hesitated even more. It is impossible to judge whether what the other party said is true or not, if this is reality, but the so-called drunk is an important scientist.
Who can guarantee that they will be right after pulling the wrench? David fell into a real dilemma, not only the consideration of the importance of life, but also his doubts about the existence he could not see.
So instead of pulling the wrench, he was thinking. He is trying his best to think of what method should be used to solve the predicament in front of him.
Yes, you can't pull the wrench yourself! Otherwise, you will fall into the trap of this unknown existence! David thought so.
I only have one hand to move, and the only thing I can reach, except for the wrench, is the gravel used to lay the railway tracks underground. David quickly observed everything around him that could be used. But very little is available.
It's really disgusting! If his ability is still there, maybe he won't be so passive. David was really irritable, but no matter how irritable he was, he had to keep his head clear at this moment.
He suddenly opened his mouth and said to the unknown existence: "So, why do you want to do all this?"
"Um?"
"There is no love or hate for no reason in this world. I just want to know what you want to do by choosing me and letting me make this choice? What do you mean by giving me strength? My strength, if I accept it, can I stop this car? If so, I am willing to become a magical boy!" David said quickly, because time is running out, he needs more information to help He makes judgments.
"Interesting, few people are as calm as you. When faced with such a choice, most people will only fall into the situation of choosing one or the other. But they never think about asking why." The voice in the ear answered David question.
"It's not easy to quickly find an effective coping strategy. What do I want to do? I want to find a spokesperson."
David quickly grasped the point: "So this is not the first time something like this has happened?! Your so-called game has actually been played many times!"
"Well, clever kid. You can find some useful information from simple words. Yes, you guessed it right. You are just one of the chosen ones among many magical boys." The words in his ear So said.
"Then I accept your power! Stop this car!" David shouted quickly, because the time was running out, and there was only one minute left.
"No, you just rejected me once. If you want to accept my power now, then you have to make your own choice. Kill one or kill fifty. Whoever is innocent in the end deserves to die. Their lives are in their hands It's in your hands. Only by making a choice can you be entitled to my power." The voice was slightly mocking.
"I still recommend you to kill alcoholics. Because anyway, it's a good choice to save fifty and kill one. It's like you go to the supermarket to buy drinks. Buy one get fifty and buy fifty get one. It should be How to buy is actually very simple, isn’t it? So hurry up and make the right choice.”
"Actually, you can't save everyone. Sometimes you have to know how to give up, do you understand? Only naive people will say that I want everything, and mature people will always have various thoughts. What to give up and what should not be given up .so……"
"Are you finished?" David coldly cut off the rambling voice, and said, "You are right about one thing, naive people will choose one of the choices you give, and I have another choice! "
