Chapter 185 The Trolley Problem

Bai Xuedong introduced to Lu Xiao with a smile.

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

"Xiunens is not only a researcher in the field of biology, he also involves research in many scientific fields."

"It's just that he doesn't like to pursue fame and fortune, so he is very low-key in the scientific research circle."

Lu Xiao wanted to say something at this time.

"I'm sorry 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 up by Xiuens."

"When Xiuens came to our country, he came with him."

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

Lu Xiao nodded awkwardly.

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

He could only nod and agree.

In the interrogation room.

Xiuens looked at the driver with a smile.

"Sir, we have investigated your information."

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

"There is no problem with your background."

"Your growth trajectory is also very ordinary. After graduating from college, you married a woman and then went to work."

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

At this time, the driver had never experienced such a big scene.

Although he had killed many people, it was the first time in his life to be interrogated like this.

Especially since the other party even knew his growth trajectory, he felt that his psychological defense line was slowly collapsing.

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 could not be used.

Seeing that the driver did not speak, Xiuens nodded and continued.

"We extracted 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 have become what you are now?"

The driver was still silent.

Xiuens was not in a hurry either, and his eyes were calmly watching the driver.

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

"What is the situation of the driver now? Why did he attack me at that time?"

Recalling that horrific scene, he had goose bumps on his body.

Bai Xuedong looked at Dr. Li beside him.

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

Dr. Li pushed his glasses first, then spoke.

"This is the design of our current research field."

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

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

"This is related to yesterday's experimental project."

"To be precise, he was polluted."

"From the psychological to the physiological level of pollution."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded as if he understood.

"Then what is the connection between this and his attack on me?"

A glimmer flashed in Dr. Li's eyes.

"He needs to hunt other creatures to make himself stronger."

"Maybe he doesn't know why he does this."

"We judge that this is driven by some kind of instinct."

He said, looking 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 hunt other creatures?"

Dr. Li nodded.

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

"Through their description and subsequent experimental proof."

"By eating the flesh and blood of creatures, they can become stronger."

"Strong in every sense."

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

"So, the taxi driver wanted to eat me?"

This made him feel absurd.

Hearing this, Dr. Li cast his eyes on Bai Xuedong.

Bai Xuedong nodded.

"Go ahead, Comrade Xiao Lu is not an outsider."

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

"To be precise, it's his wife who wants to eat you."

"This has nothing to do with him."

Lu Xiao's expression was a little strange.

"How do you know this?"

Dr. Li's tone was still calm.

"We have been observing him for a long time."

"We have noticed him since he started hunting for the first time."

"Every time he goes out to hunt, his behavior changes significantly."

"Then after eating, he will return to his original behavior."

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

"According to the process, we first checked his identity information and found out that he has a wife."

"And during the time we observed, we didn't see his wife."

"This makes us confirm that he is no longer human."

Lu Xiao felt a strange emotion in his heart, and he tried to control his emotions and asked.

"So you ignored the fact that other people 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."
