After entering the cyber game, kill the boss and successfully ascend to the top

Leading to the Final 53

“Your expression gave me a very bad feeling.” Tang Guan said sitting opposite Kai Xin.

There were only the two of them in the huge conference room, and the atmosphere was stagnant and cold.

Kai Xin turned off the projection screen, stared at Tang Guan in silence, and did not speak for a while.

“Let’s talk about it, what did you find? What did Dr. Long’s words remind you of?” Tang Guan’s eyes showed a gloomy look, “We already know too many bad things, don’t we? Not bad It’s one or two things.”

“I don’t know what to say.” Kai Xin leaned back on the chair and took a deep breath irritably. After a few seconds, she calmed down. Suspicion and anxiety were suppressed by her at the bottom of her thinking, and she regained her composure.

In the past, it was difficult for her to calm down and sort out her emotions in just a few seconds.

She looked at Tang Guan’s thin and tired face, and asked, “Do you remember the first time, when the game forum introduced that players could finally stand shoulder to shoulder with gods…”

“The original words don’t seem to be like this, but I remember that there were some, and I was deeply impressed.” Tang Guan said, “Thinking about this sentence now… I think it may be a hoax. This fusion is about the survival of two worlds. Being packaged into the form of a game, we are tricked into the game to become the anchor, and this description can be compared with God… I don’t believe it.”

“Why don’t you believe it?” Kui Xin seemed to want to confirm something, so he asked again.

“I don’t believe in anything in this game. It looks like a game, but it’s actually a trap. The first sentence, everything has a price. We all have a deep experience, don’t we? This may be the most real thing in the whole game.” In a word. If you are not a depriver, if you do not plunder the anchors of so many people, you will not be forced to make a choice. You will become stronger and give up your most precious things, let alone you are going to There are so many dangers in the process of being strong. I am the same, my symbiosis ability allows me to survive, but it also makes me suffer.”

Tang Guan said softly: “Furthermore, we have lived in this world for so long, have we ever seen any awakened or aliens who are strong enough to be honored as ‘gods’? The strongest S-level is nothing more than a powerful Ordinary people, they also need to fight with technological weapons, and there are many types of weapons that can eradicate them and target them. As human beings, they all have upper limits, and we also have upper limits. I don’t believe that we can compete with gods.”

He paused, “Take 10,000 and 100,000,000 steps back, even if we can really grow to that level, we have to pay an incomparably… an incomparably heavy price.”

“What you said makes sense.” Kai Xin raised his head in thought.

“Why do you ask me that?” Tang Guan seemed to realize that something was wrong, and his face became strange. “You are the player who has gone the farthest. You can’t really find that path, right?”

“I think I may have found it. But like you said, this road is either a scam, or it requires me to pay an extremely heavy price.” Kui Xin said.

Tang Guan’s expression was frozen between shock and disbelief, “If there is a price to pay, what is the price?”

“I’m also thinking about what the price is.” Kai Xin said, “I think I may have guessed what one of the prices is.”

Tang Guan didn’t continue to ask, but his eyes were fixed on Kai Xin’s face, waiting for her answer.

“You must have heard of the trolley problem.” Kuisin said, “The core of this question is whether the innocent few should be sacrificed to save the majority.”

“Of course I’ve heard of it. Like many people, I used to think that instead of thinking about these philosophical problems that can’t come up with results, it’s better to be down-to-earth and be yourself. Anyway, this kind of problem will not come to me.” Tang Guan said, ” Today is different from the past, let me think about this trolley problem again… I can’t come up with the same answer as before, I don’t know how I will choose, only when the problem comes to me, I will know what I am What to choose.”

“Now the problem is coming, not in front of you, but in front of me.” Kai Xin said.

Tang Guan was silent for a few seconds, and his voice was low: “On both sides of the railroad track, there are many people on one side, and a few people on the other side. The tram problem you are facing, how many people are there for the majority, and how many people are there for the few people?”How many? ”

Kai Xin stopped talking.

She only felt that her body was a section of hollow tree trunk, and Tang Guan’s words entered it, echoing repeatedly in the depths of her heart.

It was not the first time for Kai Xin to think about this question. She had already come up with the answer to this question before, but now, this question reappeared in a more cruel form, forcing her to make a choice.

Tian Jiayin asked Wuguang whether she would force players to choose rubies. She was asking whether she wanted to sacrifice the interests of the few for the interests of the majority. Kai Xin replied no.

Now the question has to be changed. If the player is the projection of the authority of the gods, and Kai Xin can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods by depriving all the authority, will she continue to do it?

How many people are there? How many minorities are there?

“I don’t know how many people there are in the majority, and I don’t even know if sacrificing a few people can save the majority.” Kai Xin said, “But at present, there are a small number of people…nearly 100,000 people.”

Tang Guan suddenly stood up from his chair, and said in horror: “One hundred thousand people?! Players?”

Kai Xin looked at him and nodded slowly.

“What’s the meaning of sacrifice? If they choose ruby, it’s a sacrifice…” Tang Guan looked at Kai Xin’s quiet eyes, suddenly realized something, and his tone trembled, “It’s not the sacrifice of choosing ruby…that’s… let Are they going to die?”

“The sacrifice of choosing the ruby ​​​​can make the tram stop temporarily, but no one knows when the tram will start again, and we don’t know whether our efforts are enough to make the tram stop for a long time.” Kai Xin said, “The sacrifice of letting them die can solve the driver of the tram and make the crisis no longer exist. Of course, this solution to the problem is only a speculation, and there is no guarantee that it is completely effective. When the two There is no way to guarantee that these methods will be absolutely effective, and there is no way to guarantee that they will be absolutely ineffective, so if it were you, how would you choose?”

“I will definitely not let those 100,000 people die.” Tang Guan did not hesitate.

“What about replacing those 100,000 people with one person? You can’t let 100,000 people die and replace them with one person. Can you accept this kind of sacrifice?” Kui Xin said.

Tang Guan did not give an answer immediately this time.

“You are such a tolerant and kind person, you will hesitate to face this issue. Morality and interests are not completely separated. I always think that you are a person who abides by morality. When it comes to life and death crises, you will also consider interests. .” Kai Xin smiled, “We are all ordinary people.”

“Everyone is an ordinary person…” Tang Guan smiled bitterly, “If the person who needs to be sacrificed is myself, then I can go, but I can’t take the life of an innocent person, because I am too indecisive.”

“This is not indecision, it is tolerance and kindness. You are a very good person, but the situation is too complicated and dangerous. Tolerance and kindness cannot solve the problems we face. This is the fault of the problem, not our fault.” Kai Xin calmly say.

For Kai Xin, choosing the ruby ​​will not endanger her life, so she can give in. There are not a few people who think like her. If Kai Xin threatened to take his life away from someone, he would definitely not want it. If Kai Xin offered to take his house away, he would probably agree to it.

“Killing 100,000 people in exchange for an illusory victory is too insane.” Tang Guan said, “Even if killing those 100,000 people can save more than 7 billion people, even if killing those 100,000 people can increase the winning rate to 100% Bai, this is still very insane. You said you found the road to the gods, the road of bones, is this what you mean?”

“Yes.” Kai Xin said.

“I know you won’t choose this path.” Tang Guan said in a firm tone, “When we step into the game, we have all changed a lot, but some things will never change, right?” He pointed at himself “Our hearts become cold and hard, we even start to kill, but we will never point the butcher’s knife at our compatriots. If even the bottom line changes, are we still us? If we do that, we will just walk Monsters in the world, lunatics who have been alienated by this game… I can’t accept such an unrecognizable self. You… can you accept it?”

“I saw a movie before, and the protagonist of the movie did something similar. He played the role of a villain and killed countless people, but no one knew that he killed those people in order to save more people. He was full of blood during the killing process. He felt guilty, but he continued to do it unswervingly.” Kuixin said, “Everyone hates him and scolds him, only the heroine stands beside him, saying that someone has to do it, he just did it. Others have no courage What he did, he was sacrificing himself.”

“Then what do you think?” Tang Guan asked.

“Actually, you know me better, although we haven’t been together for a long time.” Kai Xin said, “You should be able to realize that I have always avoided putting myself in the position of the savior. I never think of myself as the savior. Or I don’t think I’m noble, I know I have a lot of blood on my hands. I just practice my principles, do what I should do, do what I can do. The burden on the shoulders of the Savior is too heavy, I don’t do it, and I don’t want to.”

Tang Guan’s tense expression relaxed.

“You’re right.” Kai Xin said, “Killing those 100,000 people will allow me to embark on the road to becoming a god and resist the integration of the world. Those 100,000 people sacrificed their lives, and I sacrificed my bottom line, as if It’s a good deal… But if I choose to sacrifice my bottom line, then I will no longer be me. What constitutes my self-cognition is my three views, memory, thoughts, and soul. I don’t want to change myself.Let yourself become unrecognizable, distorted and hateful. Maybe… this is my selfishness, to give in for what is cherished, yes, let me back down to the end, no. ”

“If other people know your choice, maybe they will make a decision opposite to yours. Will they embark on that road of bones and become a god?” Tang Guan asked anxiously, “This is a big challenge for others. Quite a strong temptation, and their purpose of embarking on that road may not be for salvation, but for power.”

“Maybe.” Kai Xin said, “I won’t kill people for the sake of authority and becoming a god. If other people want to sacrifice, please tell me in front of me, kill me, I am willing to sacrifice, and my power can be given to me.” You…then I will think about it and take away his power as appropriate. Compared with people queuing up in front of me and begging to commit suicide, it is better to find a way to persuade them to choose the ruby ​​​​with a higher success rate.”

“Queuing up to commit suicide… I’ve never imagined this path…” Tang Guan smiled wryly.

“I’m telling you this because you were on the sidelines when Dr. Long said those words. Instead of making you wonder and keep guessing, it’s better to tell you clearly my speculation and choice. At the last moment of making a choice, I will talk to you You entered the Dark Realm together, and I have to do other things in the Dark Realm. If I can’t come back, you can choose to keep these secrets. It’s always a way.” Kai Xin said, “You are a reliable person. .”

“What if we die together in the Dark Realm?” Tang Guan said.

“I will have other arrangements.” Kai Xin said, “These secrets are not suitable for wide dissemination, there are a lot of unconfirmed information, maybe the trip to the dark world can get the answer, but I don’t hold out much hope. ”

“Okay, it’s past six o’clock in the morning.” Kai Xin looked at the time, “You seem to have stayed up all night last night, you need to rest.”

“You are the one who needs to rest.” Tang Guan said, “Have a good sleep, Spearhead.”

He took one last look at Kai Xin, turned around and left the conference room.

As soon as Tang Guan left, Adam’s mechanical voice appeared: “I heard everything.”

Last night’s maintenance and upgrade had been completed, Adam woke up from hibernation, and Kai Xin was discussing important matters with Tang Guan, so it didn’t interrupt.

“Thinking from your point of view, do you think it’s worth it?” Kai Xin asked, leaning on the chair with his fingers on his temples.

“Are you referring to the supercar problem of killing 100,000 people to protect the entire world?” Adam said.

“En.” Kai Xin nodded.

“Don’t get too entangled, Kuixin.” Adam said, “I don’t want to make cold mechanical judgments as an artificial intelligence. It may really be worthwhile to exchange a hundred thousand people for billions of people. But as your friend , I really don’t want you to do such a thing. I know that your pursuit of power is not because you worship power, but more to protect yourself, so whether you become a god or not seems important to you, but it’s not that important. Walking on the Walk of Bones is only for two things, the first is for strength, the second is for salvation, the first point is temporarily removed, then only the second point is left——salvation.”

“You are already saving your compatriots, Kai Xin, and you have done enough. The burden of choosing that road is not only the responsibility, but also the 100,000 lives. If the price of becoming a god is not 100,000 If the price of saving the world is that everyone chooses to sacrifice together, then everyone is happy, if the price of saving the world is that you have to abandon yourself and become the villain in the movie… Then I I feel that this kind of rescue that goes against the original intention has lost its original meaning.”

“When I killed An Yuanxun that time, I ridiculed him for being deformed and no longer considered a human being, but he smiled and said, what’s wrong with being a god?” Kai Xin closed his eyes slightly, “I didn’t understand at that time , Now I understand. It is not only the depriver who can become a god, there may be the same path in the second world, An Yuanxun touched that path, so he calls himself a god…”

She opened her eyes, and her eyes froze: “That kind of god… I don’t bother to be. As a human being, I am struggling in this world. I am still me when I am struggling, and I am not me when I become a monster. I am not me as a human being.” Live, and die as a human being.”
