Pirate's Rescue

"we decide?"

Harold looked at Logan in surprise. The development of things was a bit beyond his expectation. Just now they were avoiding the Samaritans and planning to rescue people. But now he was able to decide the Samaritans. A person's life and death, such a change made Harold unable to react for a while.

"The Samaritans have been chasing you since they were born, causing countless casualties in the process, and your situation is becoming more and more dangerous. If I don't intervene, the whole world will fall into a huge crisis. You will be discovered by them in two months, and then Gen will die and John will die!"

"If you deal with them now, the future will be completely different. No one will die and the world will be completely different. You just need to make a decision now and everything will change!"

Logan said looking at Harold.

"Destroying the Samaritans is necessary, but I can't kill these people. This is inconsistent with our goal. Our mission is to save people, not kill them!"

Harold was very resistant to killing, so after John, Gen, and Xiao joined the team, they rarely killed. Even when performing tasks, they only injured people at most, and rarely killed people.

"Harold, in your opinion, are rules the most important thing?"

Logan asked.

"The purpose of creating a machine is to save people. If I have to kill other people to save people, I would rather not do such a thing!"

Speaking of which, Harold is also a bit paranoid. He is very persistent in rules.

"Okay, then let me tell you, if Greer doesn't die now, he will continue to look for the person who created artificial intelligence for him. He will become more unscrupulous and difficult to deal with. In the next time, there will be eight hundred and fifty-eight People died because of him, and one of them would be a five-year-old boy named Bobby."

"If Poppy doesn't die, he will be the first person in the world to discover a cure for cancer thirty years later. This discovery can save countless lives. But if Greer doesn't die now, Poppy will be half a century old." Greer died accidentally when he was chasing you two months later."

"Bobby's death will delay the discovery of specific drugs for twenty years. I think you can imagine how many people will die from cancer in these twenty years without me telling you."

Logan looked at Harold and said calmly.

"but……"

"Sam is an ordinary farmer in Kansas, but he has a particularly smart son named Aliyah. According to the changed trajectory, Aliyah will become the top security expert fifteen years later, and the defense system he invented will Thirty years later, he successfully intercepted a meteorite from outer space and saved the world.”

"But because of you, Sam will be killed by Greer three days later for helping you. Therefore, Aliyah will embark on a completely different path. He will invent an artificial intelligence more powerful than a machine. When the meteorite arrives, Destroy humanity first before Earth!”

"Among these 858 people, one percent have a significant impact on the world. These one percent will completely change the world. Their presence will make the world safer and will Helping the earth survive crises many times!”

"Now I ask you, do you still insist not to kill Greer?"

Logan asked, staring closely at Harold.

"You, how do you know!"

Harold asked looking at Logan in shock.

"Your machine can predict what may happen in the future, and I can see what will happen in the future. The world is not just right and wrong, it contains many aspects. When your principles pose a threat to the world, It no longer applies!”

Logan said.

"But the future hasn't happened yet, and we still have a chance to change!"

Harold said tangledly.

"The future has not happened yet, but it is also underway. At this moment, you have only two options. Let Greer live. Then you will die in the future and the world will be destroyed! Either Greer dies, you live, and the earth is safe. These are the only two options!”

"The future can be changed, but unfortunately it is beyond your ability. I can change it, but I won't do it!"

Logan said.

"Why? Since you can intervene, why can't you save the world without killing anyone?"

Harold asked painfully.

"This world belongs to you, so you decide its future. The reason why I help you is because you work so hard to save others, but I will not help you without limit. I created the conditions. I choose you!"

"This choice is not difficult. If your death could make the world safer, would you choose to end your life?"

Logan asked looking at Harold.

"If my death can make the world a better place, I'm willing to do it!"

Harold said after a moment of silence.

"If this is the case, doesn't this violate your principles? Don't save others by taking their lives!"

Rogan said bluntly.

"This is different!"

Harold argued.

"What's the difference? Your life is not life? Is other people's life nobler than yours? There's something wrong with your logic!"

Logan said unceremoniously.

"We have no right to take away other people's lives! This is wrong!"

Harold said stiffly.

After hearing this, Logan was so angry that he wanted to throw away his hands and leave, regardless of whether they were dead or alive!

"But have you ever thought about how many innocent people have been killed by Greer and Samaritans because of your one thought that led to the Samaritans going online!"

"If you had listened to John and the others and killed that congressman, this situation would not have happened now, and those people would have survived well. The deaths of these people will be recorded on you!"

"In this way, even though you didn't do anything, those people died because of you! Doesn't this also violate your principles?"

"Your idea is good, but the world is not centered on your will. It is not impossible to stick to principles, but when the principles go against most people, what you have to consider is not how to do things under the rules, but You should consider changing your principles. Even the machine you set up to save people can change itself, but the person who invented it cannot. This is really sad for you!"

Logan's words kept hitting Harold's heart, making him increasingly doubt whether his persistence was wrong.

"Finch, I will do what you can't do. This is why you recruited me. Killing is not suitable for you. My hands are already stained with blood. I am not missing this one!"

When Harold was struggling, John stood up. John was Harold's companion for the longest time. Although they were in an employment relationship, they had already become the closest companions, so John did not want Harold to Difficult.

"No!"

Harold, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head firmly and said seriously. He seemed to have made a decision.
