The Collection of The End

——? ? ? ——

"Gu...gu..."

The little girl who was eating dead chicken just now turned gray and white like a stone statue. Her blood-red eyes were still moving randomly, and she could make a low growl from her throat, but her body was frozen there and motionless.

"This time the 'Trolley Problem' is a bit troublesome." Sherlock put down the wand that had just used "Petrify Everything" and turned to look at Irisviel, who was watching the direction of the little boy's escape with great interest: "If I guess If I am correct, the time when these three 'trolley problems' occurred is opposite to my experience, and the original person who experienced them was the same person, that is, the boy who just ran away."

"That's right." Irisviel nodded: "I just acted too obviously, didn't I?"

No, you would just stick the answer directly on my face...

"Actually, it's okay," Sherlock said instead: "The main reason is that this kind of 'trolley problem' that simply chooses to 'save more people' is actually very difficult to happen in reality. If someone really deliberately captures a large group of people, If you set up the Trolley Problem just to mess with the mentality of a man, he must be a dangerous lunatic."

"What you said, huh, seems right." Irisviel paused suspiciously for two seconds, and then agreed.

"So far..." Sherlock looked at the petrified violent girl and then at the still peaceful small fishing village in the distance: "The 'questioner' let go of a dangerous person when he was a child because he was afraid or unable to do anything. Source of infection', which led to the destruction of his hometown, and thus formed a world view of how to act based on the number of people. As an adult, he joined an organization dedicated to hunting down similar dangerous things. In the process of work, he acted too aggressively and annoyed a colleague. Sacrifice, and the hostile organization took advantage of his character to kidnap and mentally control the people on the two ships through some means, and deliberately created dilemmas to try to drive him crazy."

"Great, I almost guessed 60% of the facts." Irisviel clapped softly.

There are indeed loopholes in the overall reasoning. After all, the actions of the hostile organization in the end cannot withstand scrutiny, but in the absence of relevant clues, this is the most reasonable possibility he can think of.

"The problem now is that if he chooses to rescue the cruise ship with many people, it will cause the cruise ship with few people to sink. If he chooses to save the crowd at the airport, the plane will be blown up. So here..." Sherlock frowned and looked around: "He chose to let this food go unchecked." If the girl turned into a ghoul leaves, what kind of transportation will be damaged?"

"Of course it's the 'pier'," Irisviel pointed to the fishing village: "Don't you think that the 'Galaxy Railway' only needs a 'train' and not a 'platform', right?"

"Well..." Sherlock looked at the still peaceful fishing village, and then turned to look at the furious girl who was still trying to struggle: "From the looks of it, this 'tram' seems too easy, as long as..."

——As long as she is killed, the fishing village and all the residents in it can be saved.

"!

"Sherlock took a dozen steps back and almost stumbled to the ground.

"Huh?" Irisviel looked at him inexplicably: "Just what? Why did you suddenly run so far away?"

"This dimension is indeed dangerous," Sherlock stared at the furious girl, as if looking at some ferocious beast: "Although I have been careful to be on guard, I still fell into its 'trolley problem' trap. This time the 'answerer' 'There is no option to save the 'majority' in the fishing villages, whereas...the minority must be sacrificed if we want to save them for ownership of the 'marina'."

The most troublesome problem is that whether he does it himself or waits for the problem to be "reset" to induce the boy to make up his mind to do it himself, it will lead to the death of the violent chicken-eating girl and step into the world of "sacrificing the few to save the many." Within the arrogant logic, everything he did in the first two "problems" will become extremely ridiculous.

Sherlock was not sure what consequences this behavior of denying himself would have in the subspace. Perhaps going crazy would be a better outcome.

"So, do you want to give up?" Ms. Irisviel didn't seem to understand his troubles: "I'll do it here?"

"No, your words have proven that there is a way to save this poor girl and the 'pier' at the same time," Sherlock cheered up a little, "Since it exists, I can find it."

Phew...calm down, Sherlock, think again.

This trolley problem is not personal to herself. Before she fell into this dimension, Ms. Irisviel was already trying to solve it. Her method was to transfer the people on the abandoned cruise ship to the chosen ship. However, The two hundred casualties that would inevitably result from choosing one of the two still occurred, but these casualties were not limited to the "abandoned" group of people.

Obviously, the actions of the "answerer" are only the direct cause, not the fundamental cause.

The rules here are more like...every choice has its price than the regular Trolley Puzzle.

If he had not repaired both ships at the same time, but had transferred the people on the abandoned cruise ship to another ship through "Group Apparition", and used magic to control them and prevent them from killing each other, I am afraid that 200 of them would People die suddenly and without warning.

In the same way, it can be proved that there is no behavior that transcends the rules but seems to be victorious within the rules...

"Ms. Irisviel, what happened to the passengers I rescued in the 'Plane Problem'?" Sherlock suddenly raised his head and asked Irisviel, who was observing him with interest.

"They...according to the 'order of death when the plane explodes,' one by one, they 'died in accidents in order.'" Irisviel was still gentle and approachable, but her words were like a biting cold wind.

"..." Sherlock fell silent.

"Don't think too much, they are just phantoms, and you at least saved the plane, right?" Irisviel crooked her finger and tapped his head: "And, after discovering this, your 'problem-solving idea' is Isn’t it more open?”

No, what bothers me is that she clearly hinted at the beginning that "two hundred people were still sacrificed on the two ships", but she didn't care at all, and she was a switchman in the "airplane problem" without knowing it. .

So, the current conclusion is that any behavior that keeps the "puzzle world" functioning normally cannot eliminate the "sacrifice of the abandoned", but can at most delay or divert it.

You must use a solution other than the preset problem-solving ideas for this question to "stuck" the whole world. Only in this way can you truly avoid what happened to those who gave up after you made your choice...
