Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 157: The Trolley Problem (4)

Chapter 157: The Trolley Problem (4)

The examiner was indeed not exaggerating.

After drinking the potion, Gu Yi's legs indeed returned to normal.

He helped Gu Yi up and pointed towards a void outside the window, saying, "The principal is waiting for you over there."

"But there's a void storm outside."

"Don't worry, I'll take you there."

The teacher carried Gu Yi and flew towards the storm.

Gu Yi closed his eyes, feeling suffocated, but when he opened them again, he found himself in a huge museum.

At that moment, he heard a system notification in his ear.

"Your plot exploration has increased."

"Current plot exploration is at 82%."

The teacher nodded at him and then disappeared.

The exhibits in the museum creaked and groaned, each growing eyes and mouths, making chirping and murmuring sounds.

"A new human arrived."

"He looks like a freshly baked cream cake."

"I really want to eat it."

"Hee hee hee..."

Gu Yi calmly stood still, understanding the alien language spoken by the exhibits without difficulty.

He closed his eyes, attempting to use his talent.

(The deduction begins!)

(You see nothing but void in front of you.)

(You terminate the deduction!)

Gu Yi sneered and stood up straight. "Come out, host. Stop playing tricks. It's really boring."

"Haha... Truly worthy of being Gu Yi, with a total score of 72. You have reached the highest examination score record in all parallel worlds, and what's more remarkable is that you managed to keep rationality and emotionality in balance."

Gu Yi turned around and looked at Dr. W.

He noticed that Dr. W's steps were consistently equal in length as if measured with a ruler, and each heel landed right in the center of the tiles.

His tie was perfectly aligned with the buttons of his suit, creating an eerily precise and unsettling feeling.

"Hello, Gu Yi. You can call me Dr. W."

Gu Yi coldly stared at him, remaining silent.

"What do you think of the dungeon I designed?"

"Trash."

Dr. W's mouth corners slightly dipped, clearly displeased. "You think I'm trash? Hah, others saying I'm trash is one thing, but you, who has explored the dungeon the deepest, why would you say I'm trash?"

"The values of everyone in the dungeon are distorted, and the teacher's grading criteria are maliciously misleading. If it isn't trash, then what is? The trolley problem is absolutely the most boring thought experiment in this world."

"Hahaha... I thought you were smarter than this. Don't you know that all dungeons in the weird world are based on real-world prototypes? All the exams in this world... are derived from your world."

Gu Yi remained silent.

Dr. W's eyes shone brightly as he walked towards the projection room, continuing,

"As for what you said about...

Everyone in this dungeon world having twisted values?"

"Then let me tell you, the people of the real Wapeng society were just like that. They could sacrifice a city's population for a top scientist.

They could abandon the people of an entire country for a so-called leader.

They could forsake an entire ethnicity for what they call the ashes of history and civilization, justifying it as preserving civilization and battling the weirdness.

They always consider issues from a macro perspective, not realizing that each person sacrificed is an independent individual, each with only one life.

It's not that three hundred people died at once, but rather that a single life was ended three hundred times.

The people of the 'Wapeng' never understood this."

Dr. W opened the door to the projection room, standing by the door and gesturing for Gu Yi to enter with one hand.

Gu Yi smirked and stepped into the projection room first. He effortlessly took a seat, remaining silent without engaging in conversation.

Dr. W sat next to Gu Yi.

"Popcorn?"

"Forget it, the popcorn here is all like sand."

Dr. W smiled faintly and nodded. "Then, let's proceed with the final exam."

Thud!

Dr. W gently tapped his cane.

The big screen in front of them displayed a scene from the imperial capital of the Dragon Country.

Dr. W smiled slightly and said,

"Now it's time for you to make a choice. Choose freedom, and you will perfectly clear the dungeon. Your country will be spared from the weird invasion, but you will become one of us. Choose death, and your country will be invaded by the weird powers."

Gu Yi sneered, staring straight at Dr. W, "Friend, you... aren't you telling me the opposite?"

"What do you mean, opposite?"

"I can boldly guess. If it were another adventurer here, you might say—choosing death ensures world peace. Choosing freedom results in the weird invasion. Right?"

"Hehe, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Because you know my character. If I knew that my death would save the people of my nation, I would undoubtedly choose to kill myself without hesitation. So, you changed the rules just for me.

Other people, after experiencing such a long dungeon and undergoing the severe mental invasion, would surely experience a mental breakdown upon encountering the real world's barrage of comments at the very end. They would likely abandon their humanity and become one of you.

But you know that I will never submit to that.

You don’t want me to die; you want me to join you, to surrender to you. Only by changing the conditions for clearing the dungeon like this can you threaten me into submission."

"Aren't you being too clever for your own good..."

"Oh, one more thing."

Gu Yi raised a finger, smiling slightly.

"There was a trap set from the beginning of the dungeon.

First.

The weird world has a basic rule: if an adventurer fails and dies, the weird invades the real world. But in your dungeon, choosing death somehow results in a normal level clearance, which is extremely unreasonable and contradicts the basic rule.

The only non-contradictory explanation is: if the adventurer dies, the weird will still invade the real world, regardless of whether the adventurer successfully clears the dungeon or not."

Therefore, even if the adventurer ultimately chooses death, the weirdness will still invade reality.

You are a despicable person who plays word games. Once we come before you, regardless of whether we choose freedom or death, our planet Earth is in danger.

Unless we achieve a perfect clearance."

Dr. W remained expressionless, crossing his legs and looking at the large screen.

"Hehe, and the second point?"

"The second point.

The condition for a perfect clearance in the weird world is usually to eliminate the unspeakable, but in your dungeon world, this option doesn't even exist. This sends a message to all adventurers.

There is no unspeakable in this dungeon, or the unspeakable cannot be eliminated.

As it turns out, the unspeakable in this dungeon truly cannot be eliminated, because it is a belief—the belief of the Wapeng people.

The belief of the Wapeng people is to choose the most rational option when faced with the trolley problem, even if it means sacrificing their own family members or their own lives. This is an almost pathological obsession.

They were originally the frontline warriors against the weird world, but over centuries of battle, they gradually lost themselves, until now they have become part of your weird world, turned into the Wapeng High School, this weird world dungeon.

However, you have overlooked something."
