Chapter 308 Colosseum (Twenty-Four) "You'd better pray that he can really come back to life"
In the dark space, Zis lifted the chessboard after losing another game.
Qi waved his hand, and the black and white checkerboard and chess pieces turned into fragments and dispersed into gray mist.
He smiled and commented: "Your chess skills are really poor."
"I never spend energy on games I don't like." Zis said.
He paused, seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "Do you still remember the question you asked me after the copy of "Double Happiness Town" ended?"
Qi snapped his fingers and appeared in the void. Produce silvery white text.
“Suppose there is a madman who wants to compete with you in killing people. Whoever kills more people within a limited time will win.
“If you win, nothing will happen to you; If he loses, he will destroy the world. How would you choose? ”
This question seems absurd, but it actually runs through the weird game.
Thousands of strange copies, involving four million people in the past thirty-six years, all behavioral choices cannot avoid one question:
Can the majority be saved by sacrificing a few?
Who kills millions of people to save the world? Is such a person a savior or a sinner?
"I remember you told me your choice." Qi stretched out his index finger to pick up a spot of light, and pictures of the old days bloomed in front of his eyes.
In the dim temple, strange golden light spots floated, and in the strange scenes of sunrise, moonset, and ebb and flow, the past Chiss laughed wildly: "Remember to tell me before you destroy the world. After a while, I found a place with a good view and watched while eating popcorn.”
Now Qisi grinned and showed a bright smile: "For me at that time, I would not hesitate to sacrifice everyone for my slightest interests; vice versa, even if I only need to sacrifice my smallest interests, I won’t be willing to make things easier for everyone.”
“What about now?” Qi Ming asked, “Have you changed your mind?”
“No.” Smiling and shaking his head, "I'm just thinking about the origin of this question and the correspondence between the various factors.
"There is never a standard answer to this kind of question, it just depends on everyone's choice. Different evaluation criteria lead to different optimal solutions.
“If I were an extreme environmentalist, I might think it would be nice to just empty out all mankind by doing nothing; if I were a utilitarian, I would not hesitate to choose to participate in killing people Race to save the world at the expense of a few
"In this case, what is the significance of this kind of question? If it is not a fictitious hypothesis and model, but a disaster that actually occurs in the world, how many people can truly practice their awe-inspiring declaration?
“Also, I suddenly felt that it seemed a bit stupid to play games with that madman by following his rules. "
Qi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You seem to be about to tell me an interesting answer. ”
“It’s really interesting. "Qisi raised his eyes and looked directly into Qi's eyes, and asked word for word, "Tell me - if I kill that madman, will this question still be true? "
Qi smiled: "Do you actually want to save the world? This was a bit unexpected. ”
"No." Zeiss shook his head again, "I just feel that the button to destroy the world is in the hands of that madman, which makes me very unhappy. Rather than leaving my destiny to others, I am more inclined to grab the button and press it myself."
“Interesting answer.” Qi smiled even more happily, “There was once a person who chose this path, but unfortunately he did not succeed and lost miserably.
“He lost everything. He lost everything, including his name, identity, body and experience, and became a lonely ghost left in the world. ”
“So? "Qisi narrowed his eyes, "Is this a threat? Do you want me to retreat in spite of difficulties? ”
“On the contrary. "Qi smiled and sighed, "I'm very curious about your ending. After all, tragedy often touches people's hearts more. ”
Zeiss tilted his head and smiled broadly: "I will win. Because I don't seem to have anything too valuable to lose."
......
Sphinx's Before the lion's face appeared, all the parts below Fan Zhanwei's neck turned into stone. The majestic stones protrude with ferocious edges and corners at his joints, and the cracks all over make him look like an ancient stone mountain.
The grayish-white marble color spread to his chin. The rate of spread slowed down, but it was still climbing upwards.
He was unaware, just staring at the Sphinx with burning eyes, waiting for the latter's answer.
There is no standard answer to the trolley problem, and it is even more difficult to find a solution that has the best of both worlds.
As a thought experiment in the field of ethics, its core is just to force people to make choices under extreme circumstances, thus leading to a series of debates on morality and ideas.
As a human being with moral standards of judgment, Fan Zhanwei can give less than perfect answers to such questions. In other words, this question is strictly true.
Since the Sphinx does not have human ethics, what standard will it use to give its answer?
What's more, Fan Zhanwei also added a harsh condition of "survival of all members" to the problem.
As long as the Sphinx cannot answer, Fan Zhanwei can go beyond it to ask questions to the gods and complete the main task of [Meeting the Gods].
At that time, he will be able to ask the gods to meet other players, or let him briefly possess some of the qualities of the gods to meet other players.
In this way, the rest of the people will also complete the main quest and leave the instance.
This is Fan Zhanwei’s plan, which is in line with the utilitarian principle of sacrificing one person to save the majority.
Lin Ye was the victim he had planned from the beginning.
It doesn't have to be Lin Ye, anyone, as long as he is in the same team, he will kill that person to gain points.
It is only reasonable for a few people to be sacrificed. Just like in the building collapse ten years ago, his parents were released by the search and rescue team because they were trapped in an area with fewer people trapped. In the final rescue, he was finally carried out among other corpses.
At that time, he had little knowledge and shallow understanding, and could not understand the rationality of it. When he was stopped outside the cordon, he could only grab every passing rescue worker and beg them to save him. his parents.
But now he will no longer be like this. After studying and reading a lot, he has a better understanding of human society, so he knows what choices are more beneficial to the development of civilization.
Time passed minute by minute, and the progress of petrification reached the top of the head, but Fan Zhanwei still looked at the Sphinx calmly.
The Sphinx suddenly laughed.
“The answer to this question is very simple.” The half-human, half-animal monster looked at Fan Zhanwei, who was almost unrecognizable as a human, and said in a pitiful tone, “We just need to stop that madman from killing people and destroy him at all costs. All plans, the game is a draw, no one needs to die."
Fan Zhanwei's pupils shrank, and he wanted to retort that it was impossible. Moreover, a draw does not belong to any of the situations set in the question. Sphinx's answer does not meet the requirements and is a loophole...
However, his face was completely covered with lime. , as hard as stone, unable to even move his lips, let alone speak a complete sentence.
He suddenly realized that the Sphinx had cheated. The rule makers had the prerogative to interpret the rules, and he actually thought that all games would be played according to the rules.
After realizing this, he immediately came up with a new set of feasible plans, just like a good student who was reminded that he missed a condition just after leaving the examination room.
He was sure that this plan would work, and he was sure that if he tried it over again, it would have a different result.
Unfortunately it is too late.
……
In the game forum, ever since Lin Chen used the live broadcast of the members of Kyushu to say something criticizing the actions of the Kyushu Guild, related discussions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, almost occupying the entire forum.
Several related posts rushed to the hot list in one fell swoop. As soon as the old ones were blocked by the administrator, new ones popped up, and they couldn't be blocked all the time. The fire quickly spread to the forum itself, and those who were banned came back with a trumpet. It was clear that the forum was the mouthpiece of the Jiuzhou Guild.
The first few bans aroused the rebellious psychology of the players. Even those who had been watching indifferently and not intending to end the game were emotionally aroused, spoke out one after another, and regarded the violation records as Medals of Honor are posted everywhere.
[Haha, this is not the first time that Jiuzhou has done this. Every time a new guild comes to the fore, people from Jiuzhou will invite important people among them to attend the Hongmen Banquet. If you survive it, you have survived it; if you don't survive it, you are in trouble. 】
【I asked why no new guild has emerged in so many years. I bet it’s because Kyushu is suppressing it. They talk all day long about the fate of mankind, unite and cooperate, but they are false as soon as they hear it. I have long disliked them. It sounds so nice, but in the final analysis it's just the same party and the opposite. 】
[That Lin Wuwu is so tough, he directly opened fire on Kyushu. Man, great job for the unnamed guild! I have a hunch that if the unnamed guild can survive this disaster, its future will be limitless! 】
[Jiuzhou bullies the weak and squeezes newcomers all day long. This time, I guess I want to control the new guild like before, but I didn’t expect that it will hit a brick wall...]
There is a post of Lou Zhishu who wrote angrily. : [Kyushu has changed, he is just a big-tailed wolf in a bright coat! Twenty-two years ago, when Ark was still around, how could they be acting as moral police everywhere like they are now?
[Although Lin Jue has established an idealist persona and advocates "unity for all mankind" all day long, he has never killed anyone who opposed him. It's not like now, where everyone is required to agree with that slogan, and if they don't agree, they will be labeled as "slaughtering streamers."
[In the Ark period, if something happened, you would be the first to take the lead; in Kyushu, if something happened, you would first grab a massacre player and kill Ji Qi. Do you still have the nerve to say that you have inherited the Ark's legacy? 】
These words were unanimously echoed by all parties. They all missed the legendary Ark Guild and President Lin Jue, and criticized the current Kyushu.
Some people even said: [Jiuzhou will not be well, the only good person Fu Jue has been driven away. 】
I completely forgot that Fu Jue was forced to withdraw from the association not long ago with similar rhetoric.
Of course, some more rational players have raised doubts:
[Why do you think so firmly that Kyushu is persecuting others? Is there a possibility that Zeiss really massacred the top players? 】
[Think about it with your head, Jiuzhou has built a good reputation for so long, there is no need to deal with a new guild by trying to ruin its reputation. Could it be that someone traveled back from the future and told them that the unnamed guild was the final winner? 】
【By the way, is chasing Qisi a personal act of Chang Xu? I often watch Chang Xu’s live broadcasts, and I know that this guy is a little impulsive...]
After all, rational people are only a minority in the group. These players were quickly criticized by other players and were dubbed "rational people". In the name of "Zhongke", "Washing Dog" and "Jiuzhou Member Trumpet".
The public opinion in the forum has lost its sight, and the witch-hunting carnival has gotten out of control in its later stages. Most of the accounts that can be related to the Kyushu Guild can only remain silent to avoid getting burned after their ingredients are found.
A few who were too angry to speak out were attacked by other players as soon as they showed up, with all kinds of curse words thrown at them.
...
In the Ruins of the Sunset, a large screen hung high above the square, broadcasting the live broadcast of the copy of "Colosseum" where Lin Chen was in real time.
If there are well-informed players, they should be able to recognize that this is a service called "Private Court" in a weird game store.
Any player can spend 500,000 points to designate a live broadcast room for public screening on the big screen of Sunset Ruins. All players who enter Sunset Ruins at a certain time can see it.
Most of the time this service is used to promote certain people. In the past, celebrities such as Fu Jue, Meng Wenfei, Lin Jue, and Xiao Fengchao have all appeared on the big screen or in guilds. Contribute money, or use your own money.
However, with the stabilization of the power structure in the game and the development of a larger publicity outlet such as the game forum, the big screen has not been opened for a long time.
When the players saw the long-lost "private venue", they started talking:
"The unnamed guild is very wealthy. It is determined to ruin the reputation of the Kyushu guild."< br>
“That Lin Wuwu is really a ruthless person, he doesn’t leave any room for anything, and he acts resolutely. In ancient times, he would be a tyrant.”
“That’s not right, didn’t Lin Wuwu enter the dungeon? How can I book the venue? Huh? Could it be that he expected to meet people from Kyushu?”
The players made random guesses and gradually came to a consensus:
First, although the unnamed guild is a newly established guild, it has deep financial resources and its strength cannot be underestimated. It can easily earn 500,000 points. .
Second, Lin Wuyao, the unnamed guild president, is a man of great courage, strategizing, and calculating every strategy. While in the dungeon, he uses his layout to turn the outside world upside down.
Third, the unnamed guild is extremely protective of its shortcomings. Regardless of whether it is an excuse or not, it is always true that the guild leader personally ventures into the dungeon to rescue members. Now they are going to fight to the death with the Kyushu Guild.
In the age of great controversies, various contradictions have surfaced one after another. Although Kyushu's support rate is still in the lead, its prestige has long been shaken in the battles of public opinion.
Many players are happy to have a new guild pop up to cause some trouble for Kyushu, so that they can fish in troubled waters.
On the big screen, Lin Chen entered the crypt at the beginning of the beast-fighting game, used his own blood to lift the curse of the rat people, and successfully gained their support.
The members of the three Kyushu guilds were swarmed by the rat people, pinned to the ground and restrained from moving.
The live broadcast was conducted from the first-person perspective of a female player from the Kyushu Guild, so all the players watching the live broadcast saw Lin Chen looking down at them, as if looking at a group of pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.
The corners of the young man's lips curled into a sneer, and his tone was serious: "Qisi still has a chance to be resurrected, so I won't kill you for the time being. You'd better pray that he can really survive."
