Chapter 185 The Trolley Problem

Bai Xuedong introduced to Lu Xiao with a smile.

"Xiao Lu, you may not have seen Hunes's signed papers in those famous scientific magazines."

"Hughes was not just a researcher in biology, he was involved in many areas of science."

"It's just that he doesn't like chasing fame and fortune, so he keeps a low profile in the scientific research circle."

Lu Xiao wanted to say something at this time.

"To disappoint you, I haven't read those famous scientific magazines."

Bai Xuedong didn't notice the change in Lu Xiao's expression, and continued to introduce.

"That young man is a student brought out by Hunes."

"When Hunes came to our country, he came with us."

"This young man is very powerful, even I admire him."

Lu Xiao nodded awkwardly.

He felt that Bai Xuedong was talking about a very high-end topic, and he felt like he couldn't get a word in.

I could only keep nodding in agreement.

In the interrogation room.

Hughes looked at the driver with a smile.

"Sir, we have investigated your information clearly."

"Your surname is Hu, and your name is Hu Haichao."

"There's no problem with origin or anything like that."

"My growth path was very ordinary. After graduating from college, I married a woman and then started working."

"For some reason, you left the job where you have worked for more than ten years and became a taxi driver, right?"

The driver at this time had never experienced such a big scene.

Although there were many lives on his hands, it was the first time in his life to be interrogated like this.

Especially since the other party even knows his own growth trajectory, this makes him feel as if his psychological defense is slowly crumbling.

His pupils contracted violently.

He also tried to struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter the nylon rope tied to his body became.

And some of his abilities cannot be used.

Seeing that the driver didn't speak, Xiu Ens nodded and continued.

"We took some blood and flesh samples from you for testing."

"The test results show that you still retain human characteristics."

"So, can you tell me why you became like this?"

The driver remained silent.

Xiu Ens was not in a hurry and looked at the driver calmly.

Behind the one-way glass, Lu Xiao said with some confusion.

"What is the condition of that driver now? Why did he attack me then?"

Recalling that horrific scene, he had goosebumps all over his body.

Bai Xuedong looked at Dr. Li beside him.

"Dr. Li, you know better. Please explain it to Xiao Lu."

Dr. Li pushed up his glasses first, and then spoke.

"That's what designed the research field we have now."

"Strictly speaking, the taxi driver is no longer a human being."

"Although Dr. Hunes said he still retains human characteristics."

"This has something to do with yesterday's experimental project."

"To be precise, he was contaminated."

“Contamination from psychological to physical levels.”

Hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded in understanding.

"Then does this have anything to do with him attacking me?"

There was a glimmer in Dr. Li's eyes.

"He needs to make himself stronger by hunting other creatures."

"Maybe he didn't know why he did it."

"We determined that this was driven by some kind of instinct."

As he said that, he looked at Lu Xiao.

"For him, hunting humans is more convenient and faster."

Lu Xiao understood what Dr. Li meant this time.

"In other words, he can also hunt other creatures?"

Dr. Li nodded.

"Yes, we have other research targets, and they set their hunting targets on other creatures."

"Through their description and subsequent experimental proof."

"Eating the flesh and blood of living things can make them stronger."

"Powerful in every sense of the word."

After listening to Dr. Li's words, Lu Xiao took a deep breath.

"So, that taxi driver wants to eat me?"

This made him feel ridiculous.

Hearing this, Dr. Li turned his attention to Bai Xuedong.

Bai Xuedong nodded.

"Say it, Comrade Xiao Lu is not an outsider."

After receiving Bai Xuedong's instruction, Dr. Li continued.

"To be precise, his wife wants to eat you."

"It has nothing to do with him."

Lu Xiao's expression was a little strange.

"How do you know this?"

Dr. Li's tone remained calm.

"We watched him for a long time."

"We've had his eye on him since his first hunt."

"Every time he went out to prepare for a hunt, there would be a noticeable change in his behavior."

"Then after eating, they will return to their original behavior."

"At first, we thought he was just an ordinary schizophrenic and were going to arrest him."

"According to the procedure, we first inquired about his identity information and found out that he also had a wife."

"During the period of our observation, we did not see his wife."

"This confirms to us that he is no longer human."

A strange emotion arose in Lu Xiao's heart. He tried to control his emotions and asked.

"So you ignored the others and were hunted by him?"

Even though he tried very hard to control his emotions, his voice was still trembling.

Bai Xuedong sighed and said nothing.

On the contrary, Dr. Li's tone was still calm.

"That's right, because we need to know his specific abilities and combat effectiveness."

"And we also need to make precise plans against him."

"This is the only way to ensure that when we launch an action against him, it will not harm more people."

After hearing Dr. Li's explanation, Lu Xiao's heavy mood was relieved a lot.

This is like the trolley problem.

A person is tied to a trolley track, and a trolley is about to run over the innocent person.

And you have a switch that can change the trolley track.

As long as you press the switch, the trolley will drive to another track, and the innocent person will be saved.

But there are also five people tied to the track at the other end.

There is no doubt that their organization is the one who controls the switch to change the track.

And their choice is to save more people.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, as if he knew that his tone was a little wrong just now, so he apologized to Dr. Li.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

Dr. Li took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with his white coat, and then put them on again.

"We don't need to understand, nor do we need to apologize."

His tone was still calm as if there was no ripple.

Bai Xuedong sighed softly, and then patted Lu Xiao's shoulder heavily.

"Okay, don't talk about such a heavy topic."

"Let's continue watching the interrogation process."
