NFBE Chapter 133 Choice 2
Chapter 133 Choice 2
As he spoke, Zhu Xing stretched out his left hand towards the red button and was about to press it...
"Wait, don't make a choice in a hurry!" Conan saw Moroboshi's actions and quickly grabbed his left hand to stop him.
Moroboshi turned and looked at Conan with a frown, "Why, you don't want to choose the blue button?"
When Kikukawa and Jiang Ming saw that Moroboshi's action was stopped by Conan, they also stopped the action of pressing the button.
But even though they stopped, they still didn't understand why Conan wanted to stop Moroboshi. They all looked at him in confusion, waiting for him to explain to them.
Conan looked conflicted. In fact, he also felt that he should press the red button rather than the blue button, but he always felt that things were not that simple.
And even though "Noah's Ark" just said that by choosing the red button, they can complete the game and all of them can leave the game world, but what if?
Although the possibility is small, what if there is a trap hidden in it?
He still felt that "Noah's Ark" must have his own reasons for suddenly doing this before the game was completed, and he couldn't make a decision so easily.
Just as Conan was thinking about how to answer, Mao Lilan's hesitant voice sounded first: "We are now voting to choose whether to let the water god... die, right? Isn't this a bad idea..."
Mitsuhiko was also a little confused: "Yeah, I always feel like I'm taking the initiative to decide other people's lives."
Kikukawa has a different opinion: "So if we choose the blue button, will all the people in Fontaine get into trouble?"
Jiang Shou: "Yeah, and once we choose the blue button, we're all done. Is there any other choice?"
Ayumi left Xiaolan, stood up straight, and wiped her tears with her sleeve. "But I really, really don't want to see the Water God and Fukaros sacrificed. Conan, you are so smart, can you think of a way to solve the problem without causing any harm to the Water God?"
When Genta heard Ayumi's words, he looked at Conan with expectation. In fact, after listening to Sister Xiaolan's words, he thought about his previous experience and felt reluctant to press the red button.
Maybe Conan can really come up with a way to solve his own problem.
Conan's mouth twitched: "......"
He didn't know whether he should thank his friend for believing in him so much, but he had no idea now.
No matter how much he thought about it, he felt that according to "Noah's Ark", there was only one option, the red button, but was it really that simple? Then what was the significance of "Noah's Ark" giving this option?
Moreover, Conan always felt that this selection pattern was a little familiar, a little like... like what...
Yes, it’s the trolley problem!
Huihara: "The trolley problem."
Conan looked at Haibara depressedly.
Really, someone else got the result first again. Conan was a little crazy. Why are they all like this...
"The trolley problem? What is the trolley problem?" Yuantai looked puzzled. He didn't understand why they were suddenly talking about some problem with the trolley when they were just discussing pressing that button. It was not their turn to worry about any problem with the trolley since they didn't know how to fix it.
"You don't even know this famous thought experiment. Haha, you should read more books when you have time." Zhu Xing sneered, and when Yuan Tai turned to look at him angrily after hearing it, he explained slowly:
"The trolley problem is one of the more famous thought experiments in the field of ethics. It is about five innocent people tied to a trolley track, and a runaway trolley is coming towards them. Fortunately, you find a lever that can change the trajectory of the trolley and drive it to another track. However, there is also an innocent person tied to the other track. Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever?"
Yuan Tai scratched his head, still a little confused: "So, what does this have to do with what happened today?"
Conan further explained: "The question of 'should I pull the lever' in the trolley problem is actually similar to today's button choice. In essence, it is still a choice between the minority and the majority. It's just that today's choice is more complicated, with many other factors involved, including our own lives, which makes the two options seem one-sided."
Huihara: "Yes, but no matter how one-sided these two options are, once you make a choice, it means you sacrifice the people on the "other track."
Genta asked Conan hesitantly: "So, should we choose... the blue button?"
When Conan heard Yuanta's question, he knew that Yuanta didn't understand what he said just now, and answered with some black lines: "Of course not, although I'm not sure whether I should choose the red button, but the blue button definitely shouldn't be chosen."
Zhu Xing was a little impatient: "Then why are you still struggling here?! There are only two options now. Blue can't be chosen. Doesn't that mean you can only choose red? Can you come up with a third option?"
Jiang Shou and Kikukawa: "That's right."
Zhu Xing looked up at the countdown with an anxious expression - there were less than 3 minutes left.
Kikukawa saw Moroboshi's actions and glanced at the countdown, and immediately urged Conan to make a decision quickly: "Have you made up your mind? There is not much time left. If you don't make a choice, you may not be able to press the button before the countdown ends."
Conan suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and thought of something...
At this time, Kikukawa looked at Conan's absent-minded look and was a little angry: "If you haven't thought it through, Moroboshi, Jiang Shou and I will press the button before you do. Time waits for no one."
"Wait!" Conan spoke up again to stop them.
"What on earth do you want to do..."
Before Kikukawa could ask again impatiently, Conan said directly: "Do you remember when Noah's Ark gave each of them a button and repeated it at the end, it only asked us to make a choice, but did not say whether the choice was to press the red or blue button, or...?"
At this point, Conan's glasses flashed white, "Or choose not to press the button."
Kikukawa was interrupted and was stunned for a moment, but he didn't get angry yet. When he heard Conan's question, he quickly put the matter aside and began to recall what "Noah's Ark" said when he gave them the button: "It seems like this..."
Moroboshi also remembered that "Noah's Ark" said this. Seeing Kikukawa looking at him inquiringly, he nodded to him and gave him an affirmative look.
Huiyuan raised an eyebrow: "So, you mean we should choose not to press the button?"
