Chapter Sixteen: The Murder Tram Leading to the Decisive Battle
The nights of this planet are never dim.
The ancient Tree of Life always shines with blue light like stars. This quiet and peaceful scenery has always been the pride and belief of all the people of Planet Ganon.
However, such a beautiful giant tree has now become the source of conflict.
Not only the conflict between the invaders and the defenders, but also the conflict of ideas within the Ganon royal family, also surged like a tsunami under oppression.
Even the Queen of Planet Ganon was caught in the turbulent tide and found herself in a dilemma.
She wanted to ask for peace, but the hawks headed by General Yiying were firmly opposed. But if it was a war, from Amaterasu's point of view, it would mean the sacrifice of her people, which she did not want to see under any circumstances.
"So, war cannot bring peace... Is this what you think?" Lin Lan listened silently to Amaterasu's confession. It was rare that he did not make fun of him, but just chuckled, "So, what do you think?
How can we bring peace?"
"Isn't it good that everyone is working with one heart and one mind to fight for their own country and their own people?" Amaterasu asked rhetorically.
"You are so naive, little girl. You are more suitable to be an internal affairs assistant than a queen. War times are not suitable for you." Lin Lan patted Amaterasu on the shoulder as he expected, "Not everyone is like you.
Wishful thinking, for the sake of the country and the people? Haha, what if someone’s hometown has been destroyed and all their family members are dead? Will they really think about such a grand proposition as peace in the universe? "
"Eh?" Amaterasu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Growing up under the protection of her mother, Sen Luo and others, she had never thought about such a thing, but it was precisely because of this that Lin Lan's words had a huge impact on her.
Lin Lan paid no attention to the thoughtful Amaterasu. Rather than explaining to Queen Amaterasu, it was better to say that he was talking to himself.
"The malice in the universe will never stop. They spread like viruses in the universe, contaminating more creatures with malice, becoming evil and depraved. This is an eternal truth. On the side of order,
What can be done is to contain it, not to solve it, because there is nothing wrong with malice in itself. In fact, each of us has malice, but some people choose to vent it in the wrong way - and this is how tragedy arises.
"
The tree of life shed light points of wisdom and slowly fell on Lin Lan's body, making him look like a black angel walking in the world.
"Um...Mr. Lin?" Amaterasu's cautious call brought Lin Lan back to her senses.
"Sorry, I got distracted for a moment." Lin Lan stood under the Tree of Life and thought carefully.
In order to make the next battle more interesting, let's talk to this mentally retarded queen.
Alas, the light camp, you will never know how much I have paid for you. After sighing silently in her heart, Lin Lan finally started the "talking therapy" operation for the queen:
"Amaterasu, let me ask you a question."
"Please say."
"A madman tied up five innocent people on, well... a road. An out-of-control monster was charging towards them and was about to crush them in a moment. Fortunately, you can transform into a god of war to stop it.
It. However, the problem is that the lunatic threatened a person's life and threatened to kill that person if you transformed into the God of War. Considering the above situation, should you change your mind to become the God of War?"
This is a modified version of the trolley problem in the previous life. The trolley problem is one of the most famous thought experiments in the field of ethics. Even today, more than fifty years later, there are still different opinions, and there is no widely recognized answer.
And given the current situation, it happens to be appropriate.
"Can I not answer this question?" Amaterasu pondered for a long time and gave this answer.
Lin Lan admired the magnificent scenery of the Tree of Life, turned his back to Amaterasu, smiled and shook his head: "No, since you want to ask me for advice, you must give me an accurate answer. Don't hesitate, follow your inner guidance.
answer."
"I..." Amaterasu thought hard, and finally closed her eyes and answered intuitively: "I will transform into a giant and stop that monster!"
Before Lin Lan could speak, Amaterasu said: "Then try your best to find the madman and try to rescue the other person!"
After Lin Lan was silent for a moment, she clapped her hands vigorously, "Bravo! Wonderful! This is what a queen should be like!"
"Thank you..." Amaterasu thanked him in a low voice, and then asked curiously, "Mr. Lin, why do you ask this question?"
In front of her, the young man wearing a black windbreaker turned around, looked at her for the first time, and replied with a smile: "This is the choice you have made, maintain this will, and perform well in the next battle.
"
"Eh? What do you mean?"
"It means that the out-of-control monster represents the cosmic demon Baalsibul, and those five people represent the safety of the entire universe. As for the person threatened by the madman, it symbolizes your hometown, the planet Ganon. As for
That madman...who do you think he is?"
The young man in black stretched out his hand as if to hold the tree of life in his hand and asked.
"Doctor Talent..." Queen Amaterasu whispered in surprise, and then she realized Lin Lan's good intentions.
In this way, she seemed to vaguely capture her inner instinct.
"The so-called peace is never obtained through concessions and compromises. Any weakness will only allow the enemy to gain further advantage. Your wishful wishes are worthless in the eyes of the enemy. If you want to protect your wishes, you must fight in person.
Let the enemy realize your will and determination! This is the right behavior!"
Seeing that Amaterasu was still hesitant, Lin Lan sighed angrily: "Think about it! When your mother faced the monster Gargon, would she still reason with it sincerely?
Are you trying to influence it with love? In order to protect the people of Planet Ganon and you, she has no choice but to transform and fight! Even if she dies of exhaustion in the end, that would be better than having the life of the entire planet petrified by Gorgon!
"
"That's it, ciao~"
After finishing what needed to be said and admiring the beautiful scenery of the Tree of Life, Lin Lan returned to his usual casual attitude and walked back with a free and easy pace.
From beginning to end, he never touched the Tree of Life even once.
"General, the black giant who calls himself 'Lin' is far away from the tree of life and is walking towards the temporary lounge under the guidance of the guards!"
"Is there anything unusual about the Tree of Life?"
"Report to the General! Everything is fine!"
"Very good, allocate half of the monitoring personnel to assist the defense deployment of the guards!"
"yes!"
General Laiying withdrew his surveillance gaze, a faint look of satisfaction flashed in his eagle-like eyes.
Not only did this black giant not have any wrong thoughts about the Tree of Life, he also helped him advise Queen Amaterasu to give up her weak thoughts, which greatly changed his view of the dark camp.
