I'm trapped in a cube

Chapter 583 The Scale of Price

Mo Ling walked to the pool of mercury and looked at the record board lying in it.

He understood that once he initiated the transmission, there was a high probability that it would succeed.

But at this moment, he hesitated, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, warning him not to do it.

"If the root is erased, will nothing happen? The black disaster will not spread, nor will it come to the Huasheng Islands."

"The red spirit flower will not appear, and I will not know Xi..."

Thinking of the voices of "senior", Mo Ling suddenly realized how regrettable it would be if all this had not happened.

Mo Ling slowly turned around and looked at the mysterious doctor.

"What's your name."

"Radi."

Mo Ling was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he was on Senluo Island, he had already seen this elder named "Radi", but that was in the administrator's healing space, and what he saw was not the real Elder Radi.

Unexpectedly, he could meet him again here.

"Elder Radi, have you used the Root Healing Method many times?"

"Not many, I only use it when I encounter very stubborn diseases." Elder Radi answered truthfully.

"Will you remember to change the previous timeline?"

"Of course, the initiator of the Root Healing Method will not forget what happened."

"If this record board is erased, will the disasters on the Huasheng Islands not happen?" Mo Ling asked seriously.

"If the root cause is eliminated, of course, everything after that will not happen."

"But..."

Mo Ling did not finish his words. At this time, his heart was full of entanglement.

If the entire Huasheng Islands are to be saved, Hong Linghua must be sacrificed, Xi will also forget his "predecessor", and everything he has experienced on this island will become a non-existent bubble.

"Am I too selfish?" In the face of the safety of the entire Huasheng Islands, this is not an unacceptable sacrifice.

"Some plants that should not exist, and some emotions that are not so important..."

Hong Linghua's simple words echoed in his ears. Mo Ling knew clearly how to choose, but he just couldn't abandon it all.

Looking at Mo Ling who was in a dilemma, Elder Radi walked up slowly and stood beside him.

"You are not ready to bear the price of the root healing method." He said lightly.

"Price?"

"Yes, everything in the abyss has a price, right? Even if the price scale has tipped to one side sometimes, it is still impossible to make a choice. The abyss is always so cruel."

Elder Radi stood beside Mo Ling and slowly told about his experience when he first used the root healing method:

"At that time, we encountered a kind of thought plague..."

It was a plague that spread through thoughts. It would occupy all the thoughts of the creatures and infect and replicate in the consciousness of the creatures. It could be a sentence, an image, a word, or a character.

Take a word as an example. In the early stage of infection, the patient will be distracted from time to time and think of this word. Then the patient will gradually lose concentration. When thinking about other things, it will suddenly jump and become the word in the heart. The patient cannot control this situation and will only think more and more.

At the end of the infection, this word will completely occupy the patient's brain, and the patient will completely lose the ability to think about other things.

At this time, the thought plague will begin to spread, and the patient will keep telling this word, allowing this word to infect other patients through language or other media, and thus let the thought plague spread.

At that time, Radi and some companions used the root cure method to limit this plague. They planned to go back to the past and erase the source of the plague.

The patient's habitat was on an empty island that was on the verge of collapse. After Radi and his companions went back to the past, they went to the empty island and began to investigate the source of the thought plague.

Soon, they found the first patient, who was also the origin of the plague.

But what they didn't expect was that the patient was a scientist who had just developed a way to prevent the collapse of the empty island.

And this "method" was the thought plague that later spread throughout the patient group.

Radi and his companions never thought that a "method" could also become a thought plague. The scientist excitedly wanted to pass this method on, which could prevent the collapse of the empty island and save an entire group.

However, if the plague is to be eradicated, the scientist must forget this method at the early stage of infection.

Radi and his companions were in a dilemma.

They just wanted to treat the disease, but encountered such a problem:

If the plague spreads, the patient's tribe will soon be destroyed.

If the source of the plague is eliminated, the patient's tribe will also be destroyed due to the collapse of the sky island.

The disease will destroy an entire tribe, and the cost of treating the disease is also to destroy an entire tribe. Radi and his companions don't know how to choose.

"Let's leave and let them fend for themselves..." Some companions suggested.

If the doctors take action, the source of destruction will become them. If they don't want to get bloody, the best way is to turn a blind eye.

"But this plague is likely to spread to other races. We are doctors, and it is our responsibility to curb the spread of the plague." Some companions retorted that the purpose of their trip was to cure the disease, and they only needed to cure the disease, and they didn't need to care about anything else.

"Maybe they will find a new method, and their island may not collapse. Since the scientist can develop one method, he can definitely develop other methods."

"What if he just can't find any other method? An entire ethnic group is destroyed by your own hands. Can you bear such a result in your heart?"

The companions argued, but no result was obtained. The minds of doctors are inherently fragile. They are too kind, so they are more sensitive and entangled in such choices.

No matter what they choose, they will be tortured inside.

Responsibility and guilt weighed on these doctors at the same time. Even if they knew the cause of the disease, they could not take action.

To remove the disease, the patient must be killed, which conflicts with their long-held beliefs.

"Are we treating illnesses? Or are we saving people?"

Speaking of this, Elder Rady's words rarely trembled. After so long, when he recalled the choice he made at that time, his heart still couldn't calm down.

Mo Ling couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked: "Then what did you do in the end? Did you choose to eliminate the root cause, or turned a blind eye?"

Upon hearing Mo Ling's questioning, Elder Rady did not give a positive answer, but lightly patted Mo Ling's shoulder.

"What would you do if it were you?"
