MTL - After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 369 seeker of greatness
Chapter 369 Pursuing the Great
"The strong should have the beliefs of the strong, and the weak should have the nobility of the weak... Maybe this world should be like this, but it has not been like this from the beginning, because the strong only stay out of it."
"I'm just a seeker of truth. I define myself in this way, rather than simply summarizing it with [the strong], so I don't think the destruction of the world is bad. I'm even a little happy. I'm doing like this. Is it the right thing?"
"You are also a strong person, what is the source of your persistence? I would like to know the answer to this question."
"..."
Yila rubbed his eyes, he sat up from the bed, and looked at a self-talking human figure with a body like the stars and sky at night... The other party did not deliberately hide himself, but simply came to in his own room.
So, the moment the other party appeared, Ira had already woken up...and the other party seemed to be aware of that, so he talked a lot like that.
Obviously another outsider, like Ernie, who came here to find the [answer].
But the other party's mind is more mature, maybe not as easy to ignore as Ernie... No, it is to become your partner.
"So, if you nonsense, if you want to be more noble... you can start by [seeing things from the perspective of others], for example, don't disturb others' sleep in the early morning."
Ira complained.
Obviously, the astral body that never needs [sleep] has never thought about this problem, so after being stunned for a while, he nodded his head and responded: "Sorry, next time I will disturb you after you wake up naturally you."
Quite polite, which means he can at least communicate... But, is it him or her? What gender is the other party?
Ira thought so, and began to wear her own clothes, and at the same time responded: "It's okay, waking up earlier is not a bad thing, I can deal with the relocation earlier... What should I call you?"
Astral: "Just call me Astral."
Sounds like he can play cards.
Ira complained in his heart, he nodded to show that he understood, he entered the state of enlightenment again, and said: "So, do you think you can get the [answer] you want from me? ?”
Maybe, maybe not, the astral body doesn't know that either.
"From my point of view, I certainly don't want you to stay out of it."
Ira said, he sat in the position where he had talked with Ernie (abducted Ernie) before, and said: "Of course I hope that you can help solve the disaster-related incidents objectively."
This is a matter of course, the astral body has been aware of this from the beginning.
"However, if you want to say [correct] or not, as long as you don't want to destroy the world in the same way, I don't think that you are not wrong with other [things that have nothing to do with you]."
Ira said so, he tilted his head in the astral body, and secretly complained that this guy would be cute. After thinking for a while, he said: "Suppose, there is a railroad track..."
"..."
No, there are no railways in this world, and there are no rails...
"Ahem..."
After coughing twice, Ira thought for a while, and then changed her words: "There are two trails, one of which has five people tied to it, and the other has a man tied to it."
Although it was an inexplicable change of subject, the astral body still listened patiently... Eternal lifespan gave him the capital to listen to insignificant things like this.
Besides, Ira is probably not such a boring person.
"At this time, a group of out-of-control horses rushed towards the path where five people were tied, and you happened to see it. You only need a little guidance to make the group of horses rush to another path...Will you do it? "
Saying so, Ira signaled the astral body to think about this problem... This is the well-known [Tram Dilemma] in the Commonwealth—assuming that 5 people were **** on a tramway, and 1 person was **** on the spare track. Personally, another out-of-control tram is coming at a high speed, and there is a joystick beside you, you can push the joystick to let the tram go to the spare track, kill that 1 person, and save 5 people. You can also do nothing, kill 5 people and save 1 person.
At this time, different people will make different choices, and the more interesting thing is...no matter which choice is correct, no matter what they choose to do or not to do, they all have their own reasons.
Whoever said [I will XXX because XXX] is correct, the only one who is wrong is the idiot who tried to refute the other party's idea after hearing someone else say something similar.
Of course, there are smart idiots.
"..."
The astral body thought about it, and it knew that Ira's assumption was [one-way choice], that is, [you] as the chooser, would not be a professional capable of easily obliterating horses.
"I won't do anything, because those six people have nothing to do with me."
The astral body said so, she tilted her head indifferently, and said: "If it was someone who is closely related to me, maybe I would give a different answer... Do you think I chose the right one?"
Regarding the astral body's response, Ira simply nodded, expressing her approval.
"So, Ira, what are you going to do?"
Under the inquiry of the astral body, Ira said simply: "I will save it. It is naturally a way to let the living beings find a way out (way of life), but I think...at least I want to keep more stuff, even then I'd be forced to bury something."
"Does it sound a bit great? But if you think about it carefully, isn't it too unfair to that [one person]? Maybe the five people on the other side, fighting together, can overturn the horse, right?"
As Ira said this, he spread his hands and said, "So, my decision may not be correct. Everyone's right will always be his own right, that's all...I can't stand on the moral high ground , condemn your actions."
Regarding this, the astral body nodded thoughtfully. He looked at Ira who said so, and leaned back on the chair, as if remembering something, looked out the window, and said, "I really want to know, Why are the gods willing to sacrifice themselves to resist chaos."
"No..."
The astral body realized that his words were ambiguous. He refuted himself and said again: "I don't want to know how strong Chaos is, but I want to know what the gods are thinking...why do they trust us."
"..."
"Because the gods love us?"
Ira responded.
"No, I want to know more specifically. I am looking for such [truth] at the moment. I want to know what kind of greatness is in the heart of the gods who are strong."
Astral body said, it sighed softly, stood up and said at the same time: "I want to go to the Church, to see the pope who is desperately looking for the future and the truth (prophecy), can help me Would you recommend me?"
"I also want to... try it like a god."
