Chapter 144 The Trolley Problem (4K)

 After listening to Mobius’s explanation, Yang Ming quickly thanked:

"Oh, that's very helpful. Thank you very much."

Unexpectedly, I could directly unlock a natural law here.

The natural laws currently unlocked include: Word Spirit, Power of Faith, and Subspace Affinity.

Mobius replied lightly:

"It's okay, what else do you want?"

"This is indeed my purpose, but there is another problem. I don't have the Silver Key with me now."

Yang Ming truthfully stated that he had no intention of returning.

"Well, you can't go back without the silver key. Do you want me to take you back?"

Mobius still asked in a friendly manner, and Yang Ming nodded repeatedly to indicate that this was the case. Unexpectedly, his face suddenly changed, his expression became serious, and he said,

"I can only use subspace teleportation, and you can't complete the conditions now. Now, it's a bit troublesome."

The speed at which the other party's attitude changed made Yang Ming realize that the situation seemed a little bad, so he tried to ask:

"Then can you help me again now?"

"I have a headache now. You begging me like this makes it very difficult for me to do."

Mobius continued to smile and said,

"There was a guy who violated the rules in the past, but I sent him directly to another universe."

Although his expression still looked relaxed, he also vaguely revealed a bit of murderous intent.

"I've heard this story too. Is it the Equalizer? Yang's sister."

"Yes, did he really tell you this story? Haha, the situation at that time was just as you learned, but I am..."

Mobius paused meaningfully and said,

"You are easier to talk to. As long as you don't be as arrogant as that guy, I can still help you a little."

It seems that the Equalizer had a bad attitude at the beginning. After all, as Yang's sister, she might also be an extremely powerful extraordinary being.

If there is no accommodation among strong people, conflicts will get out of hand.

"Oh, what do you want to do before you are willing to help me?"

However, Yang Ming has always maintained a humble style of dealing with things. If he can have a normal conversation, he shouldn't be too embarrassed.

In the past, opponents would often start fights when they disagreed, making it difficult to communicate, so there was nothing we could do.

"Ah, I have to think about this carefully."

Mobius began to think about it, and felt that the other party was actually a person who liked to play more.

After a while, he asked:

"Can I test you first?"

"Test? OK, what do you want to test?"

In fact, it doesn't matter what he wants to say, after all, the initiative lies entirely with Mobius.

"Let me ask you a question first, that is, let's assume such a scenario."

Mobius looked very happy and continued,

"You are at a train crossing and can control the train to change lanes. There is one person on one track and five people on the other track. Now the train is coming. What are you going to do?"

This is the classic trolley problem. Regarding this thought experiment, there are many different discussion options. It is a debate topic with no conclusion. Usually, you can express your opinion as long as it is well-founded.

Although it was not clear why Mobius asked this question, Yang Ming decided to answer according to his own heart:

"Of course I saved them all."

After all, I am also an awakened person. As long as Wuchen is activated, can I save people at will?

This statement made Mobius dumbfounded, so he said:

"Oh, your answer is a bit too much. Then I will impose another condition. Now you can answer from the perspective of an ordinary person, and you can only choose one of the two."

"For those who are tied to the railway tracks, I will comprehensively judge their age, gender, whether they are relatives or friends, whether they are useful to me and other factors. As long as they are beneficial to me, I will save them."

Yang Ming continued to answer, this is an answer purely from a utilitarian point of view. Although it is cruel, it is easy to explain and more convenient.

"You, you're here to cause trouble, right?"

After hearing this statement, Mobius was obviously still dissatisfied and said,

"Then let me add another condition. You don't know them at all, and all those people have been put into black bags. Anyway, you can't get any information except the number of people."

Even the acquisition of information is prohibited. As a person with mental abilities, Yang Ming really doesn't like this unknown state.

But since the other party just wants to know what he thinks about the number of human lives, then he answers like this:

"Then I will save five people."

This time I kept my words concise and to the point. Presumably Mobius will not make difficult conditions anymore. After hearing this, Mobius continued to smile happily:

"Then what's your reason for doing this?"

"My choice is based on probability. The future of the five people will have a higher probability of changing."

"Probability?"

Hearing this sentence, Mobius made a loud sound of doubt,

"How can you be sure that these five people will become better in the future? What if that one person will be an even more powerful person in the future?"

"Don't add conditions arbitrarily. I'm purely considering the number of people. It doesn't matter what experience those people have."

After Yang Ming retorted, he continued,

"The probability I expect is not good or bad, but uncertainty. The more people there are, the more difficult it is to maintain order without becoming chaotic. This is not something that one person can match, so I choose five

personal."

"Oh ho?"

After hearing this, Mobius was slightly surprised, and then laughed loudly,

"Hahaha, interesting, I didn't expect you to think this way, probability? Okay, if you expect probability so much, then it will be as you wish!"

As he spoke, Mobius threw an object. After receiving it, Yang Ming asked:

"This is? Dice?"

It is indeed a dice, but it has many faces.

"This is called a '20-sided die', and it can throw numbers from one to twenty."

"Well, I understand, what do you want me to do?"

"You throw this die between you and me, and I will make it stop on a certain plane. Of course, I will not interfere in this process."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mobius continued to explain, but his expression became more and more cheerful, and even began to look ferocious.

"How many times you throw, I will fight you with 20/20 of my strength. After that, as long as you can hit me once, even if you win, I will send you back."



Sure enough, a battle is inevitable, although this is also foreseeable.

"This method is quite interesting. I would like to ask, is your condition as literal as it sounds?"

Yang Ming actually wanted to ask in a subtle way whether he could cheat.

"The rules are what I just said. Just throw it away and start fighting when it's over."

Mobius did not explain the specific situation. In this case, Yang Ming did not intend to throw points honestly.

So, Yang Ming felt the dice with his hands, determined the number of faces, and then threw it into the air.

During this process, Wu Chen continued to control the subtle changes of the dice to ensure that it could come up with the answer according to its own ideas.

Finally, the dice broke away from Wuchen's control, landed on a transparent space above, and continued to rotate freely.

When the dice stops, the result above is - 1.

Everything went according to his plan. Yang Ming looked at Mobius, wondering how he would feel.

"As you can see, the answer is 1."

Mobius didn't have any trouble. He really didn't care about cheating and continued,

"Then I'll use one-twentieth of my strength."

Then, Mobius's whole body suddenly glowed with light, flew out from the gems inlaid on his belt, and hovered in the air.

At the same time, the 20-sided dice also flew up and joined the swirl around Mobius.

If you look carefully, you will see that they are actually seven dice.

They surrounded Mobius, shining brightly. Yang Ming relied on his own perception ability to further observe the shape of those dice.

Different dice seem to represent different numbers of sides, which are respectively one four-sided dice, one six-sided dice, one eight-sided dice, two 10-sided dice, one 12-sided dice and one 20-sided dice.

composition.

These dices are clearly engraved with numbers, and two of the ten-sided dice actually represent the tens and ones digits of numbers within a hundred.

That is, one of the ten-sided dice is engraved with 0 to 9, and the other is 00, 10, 20...90.

In general, these seven dice represent seven types of faces.

"Can I ask first, what is your power?"

Yang Ming saw that the other party was easy to talk to, so he was not too polite and directly asked about the nature of his ability.

"Haha, as expected of you, you still have the audacity to ask directly in such a situation."

Mobius laughed out loud after hearing this, but he was indeed not hostile and continued,

"Forget it, it's okay to tell you, because there is no principle behind it. It's just directing energy from the subspace. Using these dice is just what I like."

It seems that there is really nothing special about it. The dice is just a medium for releasing spells, no different from props such as staffs.

"Okay, I won't ask more specific questions."

After hearing Yang Ming's words, Mobius asked:

"It's about to begin, are you ready? Yang Ming."

"Well, I'm ready."

Yang Ming put up a posture and signaled that the other party could come forward.

"Hmph, keep an eye on it, [D20]."

Mobius activated his word spirit, and saw the seven dice begin to rotate at a further speed, and gradually expanded their range with his body as the center of the circle.

At this time, background music sounded from the void. The basic style was a heavy aria, but the rhythm gradually changed from classical to modern, with a very obvious distinction.

When the rotation range of the dice reaches a certain width, they begin to launch towards Yang Ming one after another, and make strange sound effects.

Their angles are not uniform, but come from all directions, and have obvious arcs. When the dice approached, Yang Ming also activated his ability:

"[Dustless]."

A pale white light curtain spread out, and when the first dice hit, it made a dull sound. Yang Ming noticed that it was now a four-sided dice.

Since the sharp corners of the four-sided dice were very obvious, they continued to rotate at high speed on the light screen, making an even more harsh sound.

Although he wanted to deviate from the trajectory of this thing, the attacks were too intensive. The next dice came quickly and was about to touch the light curtain. Yang Ming had to continue to strengthen his defense.

The second dice that hit had six sides, which was more powerful than the four-sided dice, causing Yang Ming to take a small step back.

The third one is an eight-sided dice. You should be able to tell by now that the order in which these dice are fired is based on the number of sides.

And the higher the number of faces, the greater the power, so now you have to think of a way to avoid the one further back.

Although I really want to push my body away at a faster speed, I am currently in the universe, and there is a lack of gas and dust around me.

The air suppressed inside the dust-free interior is for breathing and cannot be used casually, so Yang Ming currently lacks means of displacement.

If you turn on [Device Restriction Releaser], you can indeed temporarily use [Leap] once, but this is a limited skill, so it is best not to use it casually.

While he was still thinking, the eight-sided dice had hit with greater force than before, and Yang Ming retreated farther than before.

If you continue like this, you will be blown far away, and the surface of the dust-free light curtain has already been stained with three dice, which will continue to consume your physical strength.

I have no choice but to use that trick.

Yang has also said before that there is a so-called "self-created skill". Simply put, it is the combination of multiple abilities.

In this way, the final effect will be superimposed, and it is possible to produce even more powerful moves than when used alone.

When Yang Ming practiced before, the combination method he used was: [Wu Chen] [Fountain of Youth].

Wuchen is a Tiger Balm skill. Needless to say, the Fountain of Youth was specially developed because Yang Ming was not familiar with how to use it.

After Wuming's guidance, my understanding of the Fountain of Youth has made great progress.

Then the self-created skills developed by this combination are...

"[Fluid acceleration]."

Yang Ming used the spirit of speech to assist and released the power of Wuchen and the Fountain of Youth at the same time.

Liquid seeped out of the body, quickly gathered together, and then spurted out to the side.

The liquid was directly thrown to the outside by Wuchen, and Yang Ming relied on its huge momentum to push his body out in the opposite direction.

In this way, using this dust-free method of controlling the jet propulsion of the Fountain of Youth, a displacement skill was formed.

Since the liquid in the Fountain of Youth can automatically return to the body and has strong binding properties, it can be directly thrown into the external void and can be automatically pulled back.

Yang Ming relied on this forced fast movement to directly throw out the three dice that originally hit the light screen, while also dodging the attacks of the remaining four dice.

After those dice lost their target, they continued flying for a while and began to gradually return to Mobius, hovering around him.

"It's quite an interesting maneuver."

After seeing this, Mobius said leisurely,

"Well, how about this?"

He waved his hand and rolled the dice again.

This time, the trajectories formed by the seven dice have become more complicated, coming from all directions from above, below, and constantly changing angles to make them trackable.
