Chapter 546 The Trolley Problem!
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Lin Tianxia's stunned look, Lu Li asked kindly.
"No, I just think that Mr. Lu's speed of investigation is a bit beyond the old man's imagination..." Lin Tianxia hurriedly explained.
Lu Li shrugged and threw out a few props.
After confirming that there were no other people lurking in the meeting room, he spoke with confidence:
"Old man, in fact, before I entered the job transfer secret realm, I already knew that there would be pregnant women with unknown origins entering the major shelters."
"Oh~~~I see, no wonder why it was so fast..." Lin Tianxia smiled foolishly, then his expression froze, his eyes widened:
"What, what?! Mr. Lu, you already knew everything that would happen now before entering the job transfer secret realm?!!"
Lu Li nodded lightly.
Lin Tianxia uttered "ah" several times, staggered backwards, and almost fell to the ground.
He asked in confusion:
"Why didn't you inform me in advance? Even if I, Lin Tianxia, am incompetent, I can at least take some precautions!"
"At least, at least the Lin family won't have so many deaths like now!"
Because of his excitement, Lin Tianxia even raised his voice unconsciously by three points.
Lu Li was still calm, and there was not much emotional fluctuation on his face.
He did not directly answer Lin Tianxia's question, but said to himself:
"Old man, suppose there is a high-speed tram on the track, and there are two forked tracks not far from it."
"Ten people are tied to one track, and one is tied to the other track."
"Suppose, the operating wrench for changing the track is in your hand now."
"Move the track, and the tram will crush ten people to death."
"Don't move the track, and the tram will crush one person to death."
"What would you choose?"
Lin Tianxia took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried to follow Lu Li's thinking.
After a moment of silence, he asked stubbornly:
"Can't there be no deaths? For example, let the tram brake and not drive onto the forked track."
"Of course." Lu Li raised his eyebrows:
"That's the third option. The tram will overturn directly due to sudden braking, and everyone will die."
"I..." Lin Tianxia felt like he had something stuck in his throat and couldn't utter a word for a while.
After a long time, he murmured:
"If I have to choose one of the three options, I would rather choose to crush one person to death!"
"In this way, at least the ten people on the other track and everyone in the tram can survive!"
Lu Li spread his hands:
"Grandpa, your choice is the same as mine."
"That's why I investigated the threat a long time ago and didn't notify you immediately."
"But how is this possible?" Lin Tianxia's eyes were still full of doubt, but his emotions had calmed down, not as excited as before:
"The tram problem is an absolute hypothesis, and the monster invasion is a real threat that occurs in reality."
"Is there no better way? I still don't believe that your early warning of the threat will bring greater casualties!"
"I know you won't believe it, so I set up a control group in advance." Lu Li leaned back in his chair and said slowly:
"I warned the Tu family in advance, you can wait and see if their casualties and losses are as small as you expected."
"Tu family?" Lin Tianxia was stunned.
He immediately remembered the scene yesterday afternoon when Tu Fu, the head of the Tu family, came to chat with him privately for no reason.
"It turns out that the head of the Tu family came to me at that time to confirm whether you had warned the Lin family..."
"But the Tu family directly killed those pregnant women afterwards! Although it caused dissatisfaction among the children of the family, there have been no casualties so far."
Lin Tianxia looked at Lu Li with suspicion:
"How do you explain this?"
"The time has not come yet." Lu Li dug his ears:
"This group of monsters came from Yinghua, and they are the advance troops to open the battlefield in the southeast region of China."
"Now that they have been intercepted and killed by the Tu family in advance, do you think Yinghua will let it go?"
"Uh, no... "Lin Tianxia choked and said indignantly:
"Then can't we strike first? Can China only be bullied by that little Sakura? !"
"Of course not." Lu Li raised his voice and said seriously:
"But did we have the strength to cause trouble before? Now is not the end of the world, and it can't be solved by a gust of east wind!"
"Sakura, who can create a monster advance team, must have hidden deep strength. If you act rashly, you will only make things worse."
Lin Tianxia took several breaths in a row, and finally couldn't think of any rebuttal that could stand up.
In the end, he could only sigh and murmured like a deflated ball:
"So... we can only take a long-term view?"
"No need." Lu Li's tone was relaxed again, and there was even a hint of smile on his face.
Lin Tianxia was completely confused:
"No, Mr. Lu, didn't you just say that we don't have the strength to cause trouble?"
"Yes." Lu Li nodded and emphasized:
"But that was 'before'."
"Now, I have completed my job transfer."
Lin Tianxia's eyes gradually widened, and a light of surprise gradually rose in his pupils.
"So Mr. Lu, what you mean is to unite with the Chinese government to attack Xiaoyinghua together?"
Lu Li curled his lips and pretended to be angry:
"Old man, don't you believe in my strength?"
Lin Tianxia's surprise turned into horror:
"Mr. Lu, you want to go alone?!"
"It's too dangerous, absolutely not!"
"I also think it's not safe to go alone, so I came to discuss it with you." Lu Li brought the topic back to the starting point and smiled gently:
"I plan to let you take a few people with me..."
After a secret discussion.
Lu Li left the meeting room briskly.
He still had a very important thing to do.
Although this time he acted according to the omen and kept the overall loss of the Lin family to a minimum.
But many people still died.
Most of them could not wait for the purification of the "holy system" talent, and voluntarily used the [Thorn Blood Talisman] to self-destruct to block the monsters.
A small number of them were killed by the monsters on the spot and suffered "deep erosion".
They are all children of the Lin family, with tough character.
Just as a supplement to the soul guards after the job change.
For the former, Lu Li only needs to get close to those thorn bushes to devour the soul.
After the job change, his [Soul Devourer] has reduced the failure probability to zero, 100% success!
So there is no need to worry about missing out.
On the contrary, those bodies that were "deeply eroded" gave Lu Li a headache.
I don't know how much the demonic energy polluted the soul.
If it is only slightly polluted, it won't be a problem.
At most, it can be treated with [Sacred Barrier] for two days;
But if it is deeply eroded, or it has simply become a shadow monster that has lost its mind,
then [Soul Devourer] will be successful, and you can only give up with pain.
After all, the spread of demonization between souls is faster and more difficult than between entities.
