"Then, please inform Yuuka and Hina and the others to retreat to the Millennium Tower. I will make a decision after understanding the full course of events."
"Roar!!!" The giant dragon exhaled a puff of hot air from its nose, slightly blinked its irises which were glowing with soft light, growled softly, spit out a huge fireball towards the sky, and rushed towards the dim ocean.
The fiery red light tore through the gloomy sky that looked like the end of the world, and exploded next to the huge halo floating in the azure sky, lighting up the dark earth with a dazzling light.
Then, he swung his body and flew away.
"...This is a little too conspicuous."
Lin Qiusheng shook his head helplessly, patted the giant eagle under him with his right hand, and said softly:
"Let's go too. It's time to reunite with everyone."
“Qiang Qiang!!!”
As if not wanting to lose to the dragon, the Divine Eagle let out a sharp and exciting cry, turned into a fiery red afterimage and flew into the sky, flying towards the giant tower not far away.
Lin Qiusheng looked at the giant tower that was constantly growing larger in front of him, and glanced at the man in black who was constantly playing with the twin swords of Feng Cuifeng, and said:
"By the way, Heifu, I heard from Yuuka that Izuna seems to be coming here to support you. Now why do I only see the Wind Twin Swords Cuifeng, but not her figure?"
"So that's what happened. She suffered some injuries in the previous battle, but they weren't life-threatening. I sent her to the Millennium Tower for treatment not long ago."
"...So that's how it is." Lin Qiusheng's tense shoulders relaxed a little. He looked at Megan Nero, who had fallen asleep in his arms at some point, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked the question in his mind.
"Heifu, if I'm not mistaken, the current situation of Millennium Institute of Technology is not caused by Alice, right?"
"Haha, you are worthy of it, that's exactly it." The man in black chuckled and nodded.
Lin Qiusheng only felt that his head became as messy and heavy as a ball of wool. He sighed tiredly. The excitement of successfully seizing "King Arthur" had long disappeared without a trace, leaving only anxiety and confusion about the future.
After the Divine Eagle flew in the air for a few minutes, the giant tower already stood before the two of them.
However, when Lin Qiusheng poked his head out from behind the Divine Eagle, the area around the Millennium Tower was constantly flashing with flames and dense gunfire.
Through the ethereal white miasma, he saw Convenience House 68, the Abydos Countermeasures Committee, the C&C Maid Department, as well as the students of Millennium Institute of Technology and the Valkyrie police fighting against the endless stream of strange monsters and miscellaneous soldiers around them.
At this moment, in the area outside the giant tower, a doll-like creature was swaying left and right in place, and its wing-like palms were holding something like a fairy wand and waving it continuously.
Dozens of magic top hats rotated rapidly clockwise and moved forward quickly. Wherever the magic top hats passed, the monsters and soldiers disappeared without a trace.
Lin Qiusheng frowned slightly, wary of the strange yet somewhat cute creature below, and murmured doubtfully:
"What is this?"
"Haha, sensei, this is a creation belonging to a member of our Secret Society. Don't worry too much. It appears here entirely because of my orders to help the girls below."
When Lin Qiusheng met Hayase Yuuka just now, he did not see Stolius. It was probably repelled by Yuuka.
Then, these Yin Lingqi, the dead, the strange people and miscellaneous soldiers should be the last batch.
"Heifu, next, I will take Nero to the Millennium Tower for treatment. You and the students attached to the Divine Eagle will clean up the remaining Megiddo."
Millennium Science Academy: Chapter VI: One Wife I: Er⑧Thoughts Four VII: I Moon/Yi - Chapter 168: Trolley Problem
"Hehe, I'll follow your orders."
A dark and misty fog gushed out from the left hand of the man in black, wrapping around his broken right arm full of white cracks, and handed the twin swords Cuifeng that he had been playing with to Lin Qiusheng.
After he finally took it, he jumped off the back of the Divine Eagle with an expression that said he really couldn't do anything to him, and fell towards the main gate of the thousand-year-old tower below.
Lin Qiusheng no longer paid attention to Heifu's subsequent actions and gently patted the Divine Condor's back.
It instantly understood Lin Qiusheng's intention, flapping its wide wings up and down and quickly climbing to the top of the thousand-year-old tower.
However, when Lin Qiusheng approached the office floor where the Millennium Seminar was held, he heard the sound of propellers above his head. He looked up and saw that the Divine Eagle under him quickly retreated to avoid the armed helicopter that was slowly flying away to the other end of the sky.
"Isn't the evacuation of ordinary students over yet?" Lin Qiusheng looked at the helicopter flying past in front of him, and suddenly remembered the news he had received before, and his eyes widened.
"Eh!? Didn't Rin-chan say before that helicopters and other vehicles would go out of control if they got close to the Millennium Institute of Technology?"
Lin Qiusheng felt so confused that he couldn't understand what was happening.
As the acting president of the Federal Student Union, Qi Shenlin would never joke or send false information in such an emergency.
"But what is the situation now?"
"Ah, sensei, over here, come over here!"
Just as Lin Qiusheng fell into a daze called meditation, a light and pleasant voice like a silver bell came from above his head.
Several figures were seen lying by the French windows in the corridor outside the seminar office. Maki Kotori and Kotori Toyomi stuck their heads out of the open windows, waving their cell phones with flashlights on with joyful smiles on their faces and calling out loudly.
Mingxing Himari, Namishio Noa, Momoka Yuemi and other familiar faces were waiting beside them. The moment they saw Lin Qiusheng, they gently stroked their chests as if they were relieved, revealing bitter and complicated smiles.
“Qiang Qiang!!!”
Accompanied by the cry of the Divine Eagle, it carried Lin Qiusheng to the place where everyone gathered and floated in the air.
The tightly closed floor-to-ceiling window in front of him opened from the inside. Lin Qiusheng tapped the back of the Divine Eagle with his toes and, with the help of everyone, returned to the Millennium Tower where the Millennium Institute of Technology seminar was held.
"Next, I'll trouble you to help the black suits clear the Megiddo piled up below."
"Clang clang." The Divine Eagle shook its head up and down, and its wings covered with flames retracted inward, diving downward like a missile and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Noah, can you send Nero to the infirmary for treatment immediately..."
Before Lin Qiusheng finished his words, the harsh sound of metal collision echoed in the corridor of the Millennium Institute of Technology seminar office.
Two students wearing Millennium Institute of Technology uniforms and red cross armbands on their right arms hurried over from the end of the corridor, pushing a stretcher.
They hurried to Lin Qiusheng and took the unconscious Megan Nero from his hands.
Accompanying the students wearing red cross armbands were medical staff in white coats. The moment Megan Nero was placed on the stretcher, her eyes quickly swept over Megan Nero's petite body.
He raised his hand and touched Megan Nero's collar with the index and middle fingers of his left hand. After doing this for a few seconds, he took out a finger-thick flashlight from his right pocket, turned it on, and shone it into Megan Nero's eyes.
After a brief diagnosis, the medical staff quickly pulled out a red paper bandage from their right pocket and tied it around her right wrist. At the same time, they anxiously called out to the Millennium Institute of Technology students beside them:
"The victim is a teenage female. She appeared to have suffered a head injury. There were bleeding spots on her left side that had formed blood scabs. Her pupils were unreflective to light, and she had multiple contusions and abrasions on her torso and limbs."
"There are fractures and other injuries to the ribs in the chest, left forearm, and both leg joints. Send him to the infirmary immediately for emergency treatment!"
A low and serious voice echoed in the dark and narrow corridor, and the "clattering" sound of the stretcher rolling down from under it echoed among the crowd.
Noah watched with a solemn expression as Megan Nero disappeared into the darkness under the push of medical staff, his hands clenched tightly in front of him with anxiety.
"Sensei, Nero-senpai's condition doesn't seem optimistic. Is he really okay?"
"Senior Nero..."
The usually lively Kotori Toyomi and Maki Kotori stood there in a daze, feeling uneasy as they listened to the simple diagnosis uttered by the medical staff.
Feeling the increasingly heavy atmosphere around him, Lin Qiusheng knew that he absolutely could not retreat at this time. He raised his hand, placed it on her shoulder, patted it gently, and smiled kindly.
"Noah, Nero will be fine."
"According to Heifu, Nero is not in danger of death right now. As soon as Hoshino and the others return, we will treat her with 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and 'The Giraffe Returns'."
"Before that, could you tell me what you know so far?"
"Of course no problem, sensei, but before that, there is someone who wants to meet you." Namiya Noah nodded slightly, and quickly changed his expression to reveal his usual leisurely and calm smile.
However, the star next to her, Himari, instantly showed an unhappy expression.
"What's the point of talking to a slug that can't move without its shell? Sensei, have you successfully obtained the legendary power in the secret realm?"
"Well, since everyone is helping me like this, I naturally won't let you down."
As he spoke, Lin Qiusheng took out a dark blue fantasy-driven book from his pocket and handed it to Ming Yiqi, then followed Shengyan Noah's footsteps into the seminar office.
“KING OF ARTHUR”
"Once upon a time, a knight king struck a blow that punished evil and promoted good."
Just as Toyomi Kotori, Kotori Maki and others were looking at the book opened in the hands of Mingxing Hinami with great curiosity, Lin Qiusheng walked into the seminar office of Millennium Institute of Technology. The scene in front of him made him pause in his heart.
The seminar office, which was very noisy just a few hours ago, is now as deserted as an administrative building on holidays, with only a few figures walking back and forth.
Since the power system of the entire Millennium Institute of Technology is now paralyzed, and the sky above the Millennium Institute of Technology is filled with dark clouds filled with smoke, Lin Qiusheng feels like he has walked into a dark haunted house.
"Woo! Move, move! This is totally unacceptable, Minister, Chairman! The intelligent AI we created earlier is completely on strike and won't obey any of our commands."
"We're like cavemen now. We can't do anything without the internet. The audio collection on my computer..."
At the reception table near the door, Xiao Goujing and Otose Xiaoyu sat face to face, rapidly tapping on the keyboard of their tablet computer. However, the images displayed on the computer screen made them slump on the sofa in despair.
Beside them stood a tall figure, who leaned over with a cold voice, took the mouse, clicked it a few times quickly, and then sighed.
"Haha... Is there still no solution?"
"President Li Yin, Chief Chihiro, sensei is back."
Namishio Noah led Lin Qiusheng past the two people from the Ministry of Truth and walked towards the empty desk to the right of Hayase Yuuka and Namishio Noah's desks by the window.
The figure sitting behind the desk turned the chair under him, changing from facing the floor-to-ceiling window behind him to facing Shengyan Noah and others.
With the sunlight pouring into the office from the window, Lin Qiusheng looked up and down at the strange girl in front of him.
Her plump and tall body was tightly wrapped in a pitch-black suit, blending in with the surrounding darkness. She exuded a calmness and seriousness that did not belong to her age.
Lin Qiusheng's gaze moved upwards. He had a delicate, fair, and cold face, with upturned eyes and an expression as cold as ice and snow. He looked into Diao Yuelin's blood-red eyes. He felt like he was standing in front of an absolutely rational robot.
She stood up from her seat, walked slowly to Lin Qiusheng, bowed slightly to him, extended her right hand, and then said:
"Although I don't want to meet you for the first time in this situation, the situation is urgent and there is no other way."
"Sensei, nice to meet you. I'm the president of the Millennium Institute of Technology Seminar, Tiaoyue Liyin. Thank you for your guidance."
"Oh, okay, please give me your advice." Lin Qiusheng nodded quickly in reply, and also stretched out his right hand to hold Tiao Yue Linyin's cold palm, bringing a hint of coldness.
After a brief contact, Diao Yue Liyin released the hand that was holding Lin Qiu Sheng's, walked back to the desk and sat on the chair.
"Well, sensei, before I explain the current situation of Millennium Institute of Technology to you, may I ask you a question, please?"
"...Well, no problem." Lin Qiusheng felt that there was something behind Diao Yuelin's words. After thinking for a few seconds, he agreed.
He took the chair handed to him by Shengyan Noah and sat opposite the seminar president of Millennium Institute of Technology. The two of them looked into each other's eyes quietly.
At this moment, Mingxing Riju also came to Lin Qiusheng's side. He stopped listening to everything Diao Yue Linyin said just now, closed his eyes speechlessly, and looked like he was very angry with her.
Looking at the increasing number of Millennium Institute of Technology students gathering behind Lin Qiusheng, Diao Yue Liyin stared at the crowd with a cold and silent expression from beginning to end, and said slowly:
"Sensei, the question I want to ask you is not about the tedious calculations of the Ten Major Problems of the Millennium, but rather about the most ordinary choices."
"..." Lin Qiusheng leaned back in confusion, leaning against the back of the chair, waiting for Tiao Yue Linyin to ask questions.
"There's a madman who tied five people to the railroad tracks. If a trolley comes, you have to think about whether to pull the lever to turn the trolley, but doing so could kill an innocent passerby."
"Could you tell me your answer?"
At some point, a mist that seemed real and illusory lingered behind Lin Qiusheng, and a man in a black suit appeared next to Kotori Maki and Toyotomi Kotori. They were so scared that they opened their mouths and were about to scream, but two balls of black mist directly covered their lips, making them unable to make any sound.
The man in black had a strange smile on his face. He raised his clenched left hand and put his index finger to his lips.
"Shh~ Please be quiet."
"Woo!!!"
Maki Kotori and Kotori Toyomi were terrified, and they kept jumping around behind everyone like music producers of a rock band, trying to tear off the unknown object in front of their lips.
Lin Qiusheng had no idea what was happening behind him. He crossed his arms over his chest, scratched his chin lightly with his left index finger, and half-closed his eyes in thought.
Isn't this the famous trolley problem? It turns out this kind of philosophical question exists in this world, too.
If the lever is pulled at this moment, the trolley will change direction and kill an innocent passerby, but one death is better than five.
If nothing is done, the innocent bystander will survive, but the trolley will continue to run and kill five people.
As far as Lin Qiusheng knows, any action taken in this question will lead to various answers.
For example, pulling a lever to change the direction of a tram and kill innocent pedestrians is utilitarianism.
On the other hand, if you do nothing and the trolley kills five people, that is deontology.
So taking the time to think about which solution is more virtuous, but the trolley has already run over five people, this is virtue logic.
If you think of various ways to avoid infringing on the rights of others, this is rights-based ethics.
Recalling the explanation about the battery problem he had read in school, Lin Qiusheng didn't know what the best answer was. He only knew that it had said all the good and bad things. What did he say?
Is it true that no matter how I put it, I am not a human being anyway? Then it would be more thorough to just drift the tram on the double tracks and wipe them all out.
