Douluo: After transforming into a soul beast, I will roll inward to save my life

The Goddess of Life is shrouded in a layer of light golden color. Although she is one of the five great gods, she makes people feel particularly close to her.

"We finally meet, Nanli, Dongyun. Before the sixth test begins, I have a question for you."

The Goddess of Life spoke very politely, so Nanli and Dongyun naturally did not think that she really wanted to "ask for advice". After a little thought, they realized that the next question should be related to the sixth test.

"A guest from Blue Star has raised a difficult question. You know Blue Star better than I do, so please help me think about how to solve this problem."

The Goddess of Life raised her hand and waved, and a vivid picture immediately appeared in front of Nanli and Dongyun.

It was a track, and a train was roaring from afar, but at this moment, there were five people tied to the track in front. There was also a fork in the road next to the track, and there was also a person tied there.

"Now you have a device in your hands that can control the track to connect with the branch road next to it. The question is: should you press the device to kill that person and save the lives of five people, or stand by and watch the five people die, so as to save the one person on the branch road?"

The moment she saw the picture, Nan Li realized that this was the classic "trolley problem" of Blue Star. She had encountered this problem in a class at university, when the teacher asked everyone to participate in the discussion. Everyone considered the problem from different angles, and it was difficult to reach a consensus on the answer.

For example, some people say that we should sacrifice the small to save the big, and use one person's death to exchange for five lives. Others think that this is an unprovoked disaster for the people on the side road, and the train should run according to the original track, put aside the complex of helping others, and respect the fate of others.

But in the end, the teacher said that there is actually no truly correct answer. The key to this question lies in what kind of person you are and what kind of mentality you have, which will lead to different answers.

Now the goddess of life is testing them with this question. Is she trying to see what kind of people they are?

Nan Li had known this question for a long time. She looked at Dong Yun, wanting to know how Dong Yun would answer when he encountered this question for the first time.

Under the gaze of the Goddess of Life and Nan Li, Dong Yun answered without hesitation: "I am not qualified to decide their life or death. I am a human being, and they are also human beings. All lives are equal. What position do I have to make decisions for them? It's not because I don't dare to take responsibility, but because I am not qualified."

"What if you are qualified? The device to control the orbit is in your hands." There was no emotion in the tone of the Goddess of Life.

Dong Yun still shook his head. "No, I can decide their life and death, but that doesn't mean I am qualified to decide their life and death. I think the difficulty of this question lies in the fact that different answers will be obtained based on the number of lives, contributions made and value."

"In terms of numbers, five people are more than one, so it seems most appropriate to sacrifice the few to save the many. But if it becomes fifty-five people versus fifty-one, do we have to trade the lives of fifty-one for the lives of fifty-five? If it is one hundred and five versus one hundred and one, how should we choose?"

"If we measure it by the contribution to the entire human race, it seems that this is a choice. But the future is unknown, and past contributions cannot guarantee whether they will harm humanity in the future. And in terms of the value of life..."

Dong Yun paused for a moment and said sarcastically: "The value of life cannot be measured. Every life is priceless to itself, and others are not qualified to decide the existence or extinction of life."

Just when the Goddess of Life thought she would not give a definite answer, Dong Yun spoke again: "But if I must make a choice, I only ask, are they related to me?"

"Oh?" Life was a little surprised, "What do you mean?"

"I am an ordinary person, so I naturally have selfish desires. If the person on the track has nothing to do with me, I will try my best to minimize the loss. If the person on the track is related to me, such as...A-Li, then I don't care who the other person is. Wherever she is, there will be safety."

No matter what he had expressed before, with this last sentence, Dong Yun pulled himself down and turned himself into a "mortal".

There was silence in the space for a long time, and the Goddess of Life turned to look at Nanli and asked for her answer.

Nan Li raised his hand and placed it on Dong Yun's shoulder, not showing any distress at all, "Why can't we save them all?"

When Dong Yun said, "Wherever she is, there she will be safe," Nan Li was not too surprised, or rather, she had never been worried. She knew that even if she encountered difficult circumstances, Dong Yun would definitely protect her.

Nan Li's thinking is different from Dong Yun's. Dong Yun is used to making the worst-case scenario plan, but Nan Li has never thought of giving up on anyone, just like the question she asked in the Blue Star class:

Why can’t they all be saved?

"It's too late." said the Goddess of Life.

"But you want me to make a choice. I think it's still in time with my ability." Nan Li was telling the truth.

"Even if they are too late, considering the manpower of Blue Star, they can't stop the train. Why don't they untie the ropes? It's interesting to use people's lives as a choice question." Nan Li felt that we should be flexible in doing things and not limit our perspective to the question. "If we can't save five people in time, we can always untie one person and let the train drive to an empty track, which can also save the lives of the other five people."

"If you ask me, the person who deserves to die the most should be the one who tied these six people to the track. If it's really too late, throw the guys who harmed them off first and see if the train will stop."

Compared to making this choice, Nan Li hated the person who caused this situation even more. Why should I ask who to save from the perspective of a bystander? Since I want to know the answer so much, why not tie the person who caused this situation to the track and ask him: Who do you want me to save?

Even the Goddess of Life was stunned for a few seconds before asking, "What if those six people were sinners? How could they throw the others down?"

As soon as the words came out, Life realized that he shouldn't have made this assumption, and his brows slightly frowned.

Nan Li smiled and said, "Since they are criminals, there is no need to choose them. It's a pity that we can't kill them all together."

"I spoke out of turn." Life realized that he was actually measuring the value of life, and there was some shame in his expression.

But Nan Li's meaning was also very clear. Since you asked me, I will save them together. If the six people on the track deserve to die, it is best to kill them all together, and no one should be treated specially.

"Of course, if it comes to selfishness, I am the same as her. I want to protect those I know first." Nan Li was very calm. She knew that this was a test from God, but how could she abandon her true feelings?

She is where she is today thanks to herself and everyone around her. She helps others and is also helped by others, so she always tries her best to protect the people around her.
