Chapter 2442 Vaccine Disturbance (Ⅱ)

The morning after the school board received the letter of complaint, an anonymous contributor broke the news in the "Midgard Tribune", citing some evidence that the "new smallpox virus" was only transmitted to the Asa people It was bred by Professor Moriarty himself, and he knew in advance that it was a "virus weapon" against the Asa tribe!

The whistleblower angrily denounced Professor Moriarty's despicable double-faced behavior, but accidentally revealed his fox tail, admitting in disguise that the Midgard military deliberately developed and manufactured virus weapons, and just as the Volsunger family has always complained. , This virus weapon was used in aboriginal settlements, causing tens of thousands of aborigines to be infected with smallpox, and 30% of the patients died in the end!

After reading this report, Joan felt surprisingly calm. What should come will always come. Now that the inside story is exposed, the boots finally fell to the ground, and instead pulled out the thorn that had been in his heart for a long time.

He took the newspaper to his mentor and asked him how he planned to deal with the crisis.

"An hour ago, old man Franklin came to me angrily and asked me to issue a statement denying the defamation of that article and clarifying the truth."

Professor Moriarty sat at his desk, unhurriedly filling his pipe, with an indifferent expression as if he had a plan in mind.

"How are you going to clarify?" Joan asked with concern.

"If you were me, what would you say?" Mr. Professor lit his pipe and asked with a smile.

Joan froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't be kidding, I'm not you!"

"Maybe assuming you are me, what are you going to do?" Professor Moriarty insisted on asking.

Qiao An put herself in her shoes and thought about it, her brows furrowed.

"Mentor, if I were you, I might choose to tell the truth and admit that I have indeed received military funding to engage in the research and development of virus weapons. It is not difficult to guess that my employer plans to use virus weapons to massacre aborigines. I was an accomplice in a nefarious plan of genocide, but then I repented and tried to do something to make up for my mistakes—that was what motivated me to develop the smallpox vaccine in the first place."

"The sincere confession, my student, is touching."

Professor Moriarty put down his pipe, laughed and clapped.

"Are you mocking me?" Joan stared suspiciously at the instructor.

"How come?" Mr. Professor spread his hands, "I praise you sincerely!"

Joan shook his head, not believing his nonsense.

"Teacher, the situation is very serious, now is not the time to joke around! I choose to confess everything, just because I can't defend myself with peace of mind. It is the 'slave morality' that you have always despised is dominating my conscience, making me not Courage defends itself in an evasive way!"

"You said that in this world of liars, those who dare not lie are poor and pathetic cripples, spiritual cowards. This is my weakness, but you are different!"

Joan couldn't help but get more and more excited as he talked.

"Mentor, you are strong, brave, and ambitious. You have a strong will that I don't have. You regard morality as an umbrella for the weak. For the sake of maximizing the total welfare of society, you don't mind getting your hands dirty and killing ten In your opinion, exchanging innocent people for the safety of 100,000 people is a feasible option, let alone telling a fib?"

"From your point of view, of course you must deny all the accusations in this situation. As for the evidence in the hands of the whistleblower... With your magic power, is it difficult to make them disappear? If you don't want to deal with this little trouble yourself , I'll try to get it done!"

Professor Moriarty listened to him silently, and then exhaled a string of smoke rings, the face behind the mist seemed mysterious and distant.

"Joan, if I really do that, will you still respect me in the future?"

As if being stabbed by a needle suddenly, Joan couldn't help but trembled, avoiding the instructor's deep gaze, and replied in a low voice: "If I have 100 points of respect for you, using the latter method to settle this scandal will at most detract from my 1% of all respect for you can preserve your reputation and bring you countless admirers, which is obviously more cost-effective."

Professor Moriarty shook his head slightly, his tone heavy.

"Don't lie to yourself, my students are either 100% respectful or 100% not worthy of respect, there is no room for discount."

Joan licked her dry lips, patiently persuading the mentor who was in an abnormal state of mind to wake up.

"You are now at a critical juncture in your life's career. When you encounter problems, you should put the overall situation first. What to do is more beneficial to yourself. You know what to do, so why hesitate?"

"The overall situation is the most important?" Professor Moriarty asked blankly, "Tell me, what is the overall situation?"

"Of course your reputation and career!"

"You don't mind if I lie publicly in order to protect my reputation and career?"

"I do not mind!"

"Even if you lose your respect because of it?"

"What does that matter? Don't care about these details!" Joan couldn't hold back his anger, "Mentor, what are you doing today, you are not like this usually!"

"Joan, what I want to say is... the me in your eyes is not necessarily the real me. We have been together as a teacher and a student for many years. It's not just me teaching you and affecting your view of the world. At the same time, I was also influenced by you, even more than me, but unfortunately you didn't realize it."

Professor Moriarty sighed, turned and walked to the window, with his back to his students, as if talking to his own soul.

"It can be seen that you are very anxious. In order to protect my reputation, you are even more urgent than protecting your own interests. As long as you can protect me, you will not hesitate to violate the principles of your own life. I am very moved, but you don't have to wrong yourself like this. "

"I have written down the truth of the whole matter, sent one to the newspaper as a response to the whistleblower, and entrusted old man Franklin to submit the other to the school board, imploring the directors to agree to my resignation, so as not to give Meade Gard University is causing more trouble."

Professor Moriarty turned back, smiling slightly.

"This is how I handle it, Joan, what do you think?"

"Frankly speaking, I am very disappointed. Such a weak approach is not like your style at all! The group of people who attack you are greedy, cold, and devilish. Why do you have to back down? Why do you use your conscience and honesty for mistakes? They are not worth it at all!" Joan replied angrily.

"Son, why don't you understand?" Professor Moriarty shook his head and smiled wryly, "I don't care about those who expose me, what I care about is you, even if it's the crown of the savior and the halo of the saint, in my eyes, Not as good as your '1% respect'."
