Perhaps the scene in front of them was so shocking and unbelievable that Chen Anxia said such domineering words. Emiya Kiritsugu and Arturia seemed not to hear them and forgot to resist.

Chen Anxia's face did not change at all when he saw this, and he still said very indifferently, "Then, let's start the first question now."

In this empty central garden of the castle, the three-dimensional surround sound reappears, giving people an ethereal feeling, as if it is a sound coming from another different dimension. Combined with the scene in front of you, it can really bring people a great feeling. sense of oppression.

Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria also gradually came to their senses. They looked at each other and saw each other's intention, which was to endure it first, wait until they found a flaw, and then fight back.

Soon, the originally chaotic breathing of Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria gradually became clearer, but the thicker breathing still showed the ups and downs of emotions in the hearts of Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria were both intently trying to find Chen Anxia's flaws. They both believed that this must be some unknown move and there must be a way to break it.

At this moment, Chen Anxia asked, "King Arthur Artoria, let me ask you, suppose there are 6 children playing on the train tracks, 5 of them deliberately ran to play on the tracks that are still in use, and the other 1 Playing on a track that you know is abandoned.”

"At this moment, the train suddenly comes. You are standing in front of the track control switch. If you don't change the track, the train will hit and kill 5 children who knowingly committed the crime. If you change the track, the train will hit and kill a completely innocent child. Then, what will you do? How to do it?"

Artoria originally thought that Chen Anxia would ask questions about this Holy Grail War, but she didn't expect Chen Anxia to ask this question at all, and was stunned for a moment.

On the side, Emiya Kiritsugu frowned slightly when he heard this. This question can be seen as a question from a moral perspective.

Of course, when faced with this problem, Emiya Kiritsugu had no hesitation at all, because Emiya Kiritsugu's creed has always been to sacrifice the few to save the many, regardless of whether the few are innocent or not.

In Emiya Kiritsugu's mind, Artoria should struggle first, think for a long time, and finally choose not to change tracks.

Not only Emiya Kiritsugu, but also the spiritually transformed Cú Chulainn thought so.

Because Arturia, who is known as the King of Knights and adheres to the spirit of chivalry, would not let an innocent person die, and she died because of her own actions.

To Emiya Kiritsugu's surprise, Arturia actually struggled for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "I chose to change tracks. At this time, it would be better to choose to save most of the children." A wise choice.”

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Artoria with some surprise, his eyes gradually changed, as if he had met Artoria for the first time.

Cu Chulainn was also stunned. He really didn't expect that Artoria, known as the King of Knights, would make such a choice. To put it bluntly, such a choice was an insult to chivalry.

However, faced with such a problem, Cu Chulainn could not blame Artoria, because Cuchulain could not have a correct answer to this question.

Chen Anxia didn't seem to be surprised at all and continued to ask, "Then let's change the first question. Now there are only 5 knowingly guilty children on the track. There is no second track and there is no innocent child."

"At this time, you are standing directly above the track, and there is a very fat man standing next to you. If you push him down, you can block the train, and the five children will not die, and the train will just stop."

"But, in fact, that fat man is a completely innocent outsider like you. Okay, King Arthur Arturia, tell me now, what will you do?"

This time, the expression of struggle on Artoria's face became even more intense.

He gritted his teeth hard and said, "I will choose to push that person down, because more people can be saved this way."

At this point, Artoria's voice was obviously trembling, and she bit her red lips tightly. It was obvious that this answer made King Arthur Artoria suffer in her heart.

When Emiya Kiritsugu saw this, he saw an inexplicable look flashing through Artoria's eyes, and he sighed softly in his heart and said, "It turns out that we are such similar people."

Cu Chulainn, who had transformed into a spirit body, stayed aside silently, saying nothing. In fact, Cuchulainn admired Artoria for being able to give the answer so quickly. If Cuchulainn had been given the choice, she might still be there now. In tangle and struggle.

At the same time, Chen Anxia continued to ask, "So, let's change the question now. This scene is happening in your country, Ancient Britain."

"Suppose that after a cruel war, there are only 1,000 of your citizens left. Now, these 1,000 people know what you have done, 800 of them support you, and 200 of them accuse you, thinking that you are tyrant."

"And among them, there is one person who wants to defect to the enemy country and overthrow your regime because of your actions. The most important thing is that you don't know who he is."

"But if this person succeeds, then war will come again, and 300, 400... or even more people may die by then, and your kingdom will be destroyed, so what will you do? Do?"

When Arturia heard this, her head lowered involuntarily, and she clenched the invisible sword tightly in her hand. Her whole body was trembling. She gritted her teeth and said in a very difficult voice, "Kill...kill these 200 people... .”

This time, even Emiya Kiritsugu was silent, not because he denied Artoria's answer, but because he vaguely guessed Chen Anxia's next question.

Sure enough, Chen Anxia continued, "Well, now the problem is coming again. Although the remaining 800 people know the reason why you did this, they are already panicked because so many people died."

"Among these 800 people, 499 still trust you very much and think you are a respectable king. Everything you do is for them."

"However, there are still 301 people who plan to flee the country. Among them, there is one person who has the same idea as the previous person and wants to defect to the enemy country."

"And you don't know which one of these 301 people it is, so what will you do? Do you let these 301 people escape, eventually leading to war and leading to the destruction of the country, or do you kill these 301 people like the first time? people."

As he spoke, Chen Anxia's tone turned higher and he asked loudly, "Come on, King Arthur Artoria, tell me your answer!"

When Artoria heard this, her whole body tensed up, her pupils trembled a little, and she bit her red lips tightly with too much force, which made the red lips bleed, but Artoria seemed not to notice.

Obviously, at this moment, Artoria is undergoing a test of her heart, because Chen Anxia's question is a torture of Artoria's past practices, and it also makes Artoria doubt herself. She used to be so Is it right to do it?

Arturia, the king of ancient Britain, believed that a king could not govern a country with kindness and indecisiveness.

So when Artoria sat on the throne, she never showed any sadness. At that time, no one was more capable of governing the country than Artoria.

These abilities in governing the country are reflected in handling affairs without deviation and punishing enemies without partiality. It is as if Arturia is a balance that is precise to a few decimal points, calculating the balance of gains and losses in her heart all the time.

Because of this, Artoria often makes decisions that outsiders see as ruthless, that is, killing the few and saving the many.

But now, if Arturia's usual choices and practices were followed, then this matter would have been wrong from the beginning.

Because, if this is the case, then only 499 people survived, but 501 people died. The number of people who died exceeded the number of people who survived.

Thinking about this, Artoria couldn't help but remember that she always sacrificed the few people in order to save the many people in the past. Thinking about it now, she never seemed to care about the accumulated number of those few people who sacrificed.

Could it be that...did I do something wrong from the beginning?
