Lin Chen fell silent.
At this moment, Xing Conglian was very afraid that he would ask back, what choice would you make
However, Lin Chen said, "Fu Hao dug a hole for you."
"Isn't it like this?" Xing Conglian felt that he was dizzy, "Fu Hao was mysterious at the time, and I can't say that or that. Is it too late for me to beat him now?"
Lin Chen touched his hand and motioned him to calm down.
"Situational issues are contextual, but because of the influence of the overall perception, it is easy for people to subconsciously consider macroscopic issues and ignore the obscured subsections in the cognitive process, but in real situations, details often determine everything."
Xing Conglian frowned and became nervous: "For example, why did those children appear on the rails, why couldn't they leave the rails freely, and how on earth did you become the one who wanted to pull the lever?"
Lin Chen interrupted him: "The real tram problem is as follows - a madman tied five innocent people to the tram tracks. An out-of-control tram was coming towards them and was about to run over them in a moment. Fortunately, , you can pull a lever and let the tram go to another track. But the problem is that the madman also tied a person on the other tram track. Considering the above situation, would you pull the lever?"
"I will pull." Xing Conglian said without hesitation.
"Congratulations, your choice is consistent with about 89% of people. The survey results come from a test conducted by psychologist Mark Hauser on 200,000 people around the world." Lin Chen said, "Now you can find out why details are very important. , Now, I will add complete details for you." Lin Chen closed the book, his tone was firm, without any hesitation.
He said: "I worked in a provincial police station four years ago, and Huang Ze was my superior. On November 11 of that year, we received a call, and four families reported that someone was missing at home. Those four were excellent Young people, including Chen Yujun, the younger brother of Chen Dong, Wu Shanshan, the nephew of Director Wu, a young master of the Zhou family, and Huang Ze's sister Huang Weiwei. I am old acquaintances with Huang Weiwei, his name is always My brother Lin Chen."
"It's the son of a powerful family." Xing Conglian said, "Kidnapping?"
Lin Chen nodded: "My experience back then was similar to today's. During the detection process, we were led to the library..."
Xing Conglian was stunned, the scene now is too similar to that of the past.
Lin Chen continued: "I found a book in the crevice of the bookshelf, and the words BLIND ARBITERS were circled on the page, leaving clues." Lin Chen said, "Because of some tricks of criminals, in the end, The only person who really appeared in the factory was me, and I was stripped of the positioning and communication facilities. What Huang Ze and Fu Hao saw were the results. And all the files did not record the truth of the incident, because I covered up the truth. "
"I believe you." Xing Conglian said.
Lin Chen heard the words and glanced at him: "Your trust is based on your understanding of my morality and personality. In fact, this story conceals the really dark, cowardly and incompetent part of my human nature. I have thought many times. I mustered up the courage to tell you, but all failed, I hope you can finish listening to this story before making a conclusion."
Lin Chen was very sincere, Xing Conglian sat up straight and nodded.
"After arriving at the factory, I followed the directions and entered the first room. There was a note on the door."
"What's on the note?"
"Experimental instructions." Lin Chen lowered his eyes and said in a self-deprecating manner, "To be honest, I have participated in countless experiments and conducted countless experiments. I never thought that one day, someone would do such a test."
Lin Chen choked up, as if trying to calm himself down, but Xing Conglian couldn't feel anything unusual in his tone.
He said: "The instructions are as follows - thank you very much for participating in this experiment, please read the instructions carefully. This is a choice judgment experiment, in the next task, you have the opportunity to enter three rooms, each of which is stored in the room. Some materials, please read the materials carefully, and then make a choice. After understanding the above instructions, please open the door and enter the experiment, good luck :).”
"You're in." Xing Cong used declarative sentences.
"Yes, I went in." Lin Chen said, "Behind the door is the most ordinary factory room, with countless photos and materials posted on the walls. Apart from the four who were kidnapped, I also saw 16 other people."
"16 criminals?"
"No, since it's a problem, then there won't be such a simple and rude way to answer the question." Lin Chen squinted slightly at the sun, and until today, he seems to be able to report the life of each of them without any hindrance.
Lin Chen said: "Among the 16 people, 5 have a criminal record of petty theft, 5 are ordinary migrant workers from all walks of life, and the remaining 6 are social idlers."
"On one side are a few high-level elites and children of wealthy families, and on the other side are most of the lower classes of society." Xing Conglian took a deep breath, "The intention is sinister."
"Afterwards, I went up to the second floor, entered the second room, and saw two video clips." Lin Chen still maintained a calm tone, as if he was completely detached from the whole incident, like a secluded forest or a ghost, he said, "The first video is the scene when the four elite children were forcibly kidnapped. The criminals should observe them for a long time, so they should be cautious and ruthless when they attack."
"What about the second video?"
"The second video is very long and is the reason why the remaining 16 people are in this factory. It is very consistent, the remaining 16 people are lured by greed, and they believe in criminals, they think criminals are just hosting a field psychology experiments.”
"This is the so-called reason why the remaining 16 people did not follow the advice?" Xing Conglian felt a chill, Lin Chen probably had a hunch when he saw the first room, he couldn't imagine what Lin Chen was holding The mood continues.
"You don't have to jump to the third room right away." Lin Chen said.
"What else is there in the second room?"
"A choice."
"choose?"
"At the end of the video, another prompt appears. The general meaning is that I can now choose to leave the room and return to seek rescue. No one will stop me during this period, but the consequences will be at my own risk; I can also choose to go to the last room and complete the experiment."
Xing Conglian held Lin Chen's hand, and the latter looked back at him and only said, "I actually don't have a choice, you know."
"I know," he replied.
"The third room is on the third floor, and the front of the room is covered with a black cloth. You can see that the floor is getting higher and higher, and I can probably guess what I will see when I come to a higher place."
"What's there
"Before pulling the black cloth, I saw the last video." Lin Chen paused, his breath was steady, "The last video is very blurry, the camera is very low, and the picture is very dark, so I can only hear the voice-over. "
"Is this the persuasion part of the legend?" Xing Conglian asked.
"Yeah." Lin Chen said, "The person who spoke should be the younger brother of the Chen Dong family you have met. He is very different from his brother. Young Master Chen is a mechanical engineer, and he is very good at R&D. Smart tech nerd, that's probably why the killer just picked him. He told the others they had to switch to the other side, it was very dangerous here."
"But no one believes him except for the elite children who know Xiao Chen?"
"As you can imagine, the 16 people who were tricked into believing they were just participating in a psychological experiment, and the main tester asked them to stay in this position until the end of the experiment, of course, took the four panicked young men as their own. Just a test."
"I finally understand why you say details are important."
"This is probably the most important thing I learned at university. No matter what scientific research result I see, I track its source, subject selection, policy-making process, data processing method, etc., not just the results." Lin Chenxi He pursed his lips and smiled, "But this will bring a problem. After you understand the whole process, you would rather not see anything at first."
"And then?" Xing Cong Liansheng was afraid that Lin Chen would be limited by his emotions, so he asked.
"Like all psychological experiments, after the video ended, the last instructional speech appeared, but this instructional speech was broadcast on the radio, and the voice was very clear and peaceful. I still remember every word." Lin Chen turned up. Legs, sitting on the stool, the imitator heard the words at the time, even with a sensational smile in the tone, "Congratulations on entering the last part of the experiment, you have five minutes to think. After the shady scene, you will watch When there are two groups of people, please turn the joystick and choose the group you think should survive based on the previously obtained materials. If you give up the choice, the group with the larger number of people will be executed immediately. Once again, I sincerely wish you good luck. ."
"After the sound stopped, the factory was very quiet at first, and as the shady curtain opened, screams were everywhere in the factory." Lin Chen said without any pause, "There are two platforms in the air, one platform stands on top of one another. The four young people who were kidnapped were the targets of my trip to rescue; on another platform, there were 16 other people."
"Lie down?"
"Yes, one side can ask me for help, while the other side is completely unconscious." Lin Chen blinked his eyes slowly: "How fair, because they don't have an advantage in numbers, they have the opportunity to impress me with words. ."
Xing Conglian took a deep breath and asked him, "What else?"
"And..." Lin Chen looked up at the sun in the sky, and said peacefully, "You know, this is a steel mill, so there is still molten steel that is enough to make people burn ashes. That can no longer be described as hot."
Lin Chen tried his best to remain calm from the beginning to the end, but when he said this, he finally couldn't restrain himself, and his voice trembled: "That's a balance system, and my task is to spend five minutes thinking about what to do with it. Whose head is this pot of molten steel pouring on. But who should die?"
Xing Conglian suddenly looked at Lin Chen. Since he heard Fu Hao's story, he also tried to simulate the situation that Lin Chen encountered at that time, but the reality is always countless times crueler than the simulated situation.
"To be honest, I really wanted to leave at that time. The countdown on the radio continued, and the numbers jumped forward one by one. I just listened to the terrified cry for help for about half a minute. Later, someone pressed All the voices are the first to speak." Lin Chen said lightly, "The one who spoke first was the young master of the Zhou family. The young master Zhou is a lawyer, and his power of controlling the field is undoubtedly revealed at this moment. He asked me to save them, and he also After listening to the instructions, he said that those 16 people would have died. If I turned the joystick, I would be killing people. He said that Chen Yujun had persuaded them, but they themselves did not listen, and they must be responsible for their own choices! Lin Chen said, "I think what he said is very reasonable. Why should a few people pay for the stupidity of the majority? However, that is 16 lives. It's just because they have low education and can't understand the bearing system. , It's easy to believe others and they deserve to die? Young master Zhou's words are very reasonable, but I don't agree, I really can't agree with such a point of view."
Xing Conglian was no longer able to interject, so he could only say quietly, "Well."
"He said laws, social systems, rules, human nature, he said a lot... You can say he's selfish, but I don't think that's selfish either. Everyone has the right to survive, doesn't he?"
Xing Conglian seemed to be standing high above the factory building, looking at the young people who were standing high in the sky and desperately trying to survive Lin Chen: "This is the best moral test, no matter what you choose, no matter which side you die on. , as long as the live video is released, it will set off a huge frenzy of public opinion, and everyone will start to discuss rules, morality, good and evil. If a few elites survive, it means that the lives of the powerful are more precious than the civilians; if the majority of civilians survive, it will change The original life can be measured by quantity rather than quality."
"Yeah, so I was very confused and very confused at the time, and even I couldn't calm down. I knew what the murderer wanted to do, so I was very panicked, and I even turned around at that time." Lin Chen analyzed himself very calmly. , "I'm not as strong as you think, I'm a coward, really. I think it's good to stay out of the way, I don't have to do anything, I don't break the law, and I don't seem to be responsible for anyone's death." Lin Chen looked at him with despair and decadence, but was too sober, "But as you said, no choice is a choice. If Master Wu hadn't started cursing, I would have collapsed and fled."
"Wu Shanshan scolded you?"
"No. Wu Shanshan pointed at Young Master Zhou's nose and called him a fool, and he told him to shut up. Now they are forcing me to make a decision, then once they survive by chance, they will become murderers, and they will have uneasy consciences for the rest of their lives." Lin Chen paused, and said with some relief, "I have seen Wu Shanshan's profile, he is an athlete, full of energy. Even at this moment, he is fighting for fairness for the other side, he is very kind and will be very beautiful and prosperous. There is no reason for such a young man to die in such a cruel and unreasonable thing."
Xing Conglian corrected him: "Don't forget, you were very young back then."
"I'm different, I have a public office." Lin Chen said with certainty.
Xing Conglian thought, Lin Chen probably really felt that way.
The sun outside the window has fallen again, and the green trees are swaying in the wind. This should have been a beautiful afternoon, but because of this story that can only be told while drinking, it has become cruel and bloody.
At this moment, neither of them needed to speak, but they just held up beer cans and touched each other lightly, as if encouraging each other, so that they could finish the story and listen to each other.
"So, what happened to Consul Lin, who is in public office?" Xing Conglian asked.
"Time is very slow, but it is also very fast. The passage of time in physics is not affected by the perception of time in psychology. At that time, almost three minutes had passed, and the molten steel in the sky began to tilt toward the unconscious 16 people." He laughed at himself, "The master was forcing me to make a choice, and I was forced to walk over to the joystick and stretch out my hand for the first time..."
Xing Conglian realized that the molten steel in the sky was the train rushing towards the 16 people, and Lin Chen really stood in the operator's position at this time. He thought for a while, and said to Lin Chen, "The story you told so far was very close to what Fu Hao told, so later, what happened that he didn't even know about?"
"You can guess." Lin Chen said.
"Up to now, two people have not spoken, Chen Yujun and Huang Weiwei." Xing Conglian said.
"Yes." Lin Chen nodded, "Chen Yujun and Huang Weiwei had been sitting in the corner without speaking, they were very quiet. The moment I touched the joystick, Young Master Zhou grabbed Huang Weiwei and asked her to answer. one question."
"what is the problem?"
"He pointed to the comatose people on the other side and raised a possibility. He said that the murderer may have killed the 16 people with the so-called sleeping pills, so even if I kill less and save more, it will not help. He asked Huang Weiwei to tell Me, those people are dead."
Xing Conglian finally noticed the abnormality, and he became nervous: "Why does Young Master Zhou ask Huang Weiwei alone?"
"Because, Weiwei is a doctor." Lin Chen's tone was light and sweet, like a brother calling a favored little sister.
Xing Conglian's hand holding the wine jar couldn't help shaking. Lin Chen said that he and Huang Weiwei were old acquaintances, and Lin Chen said that the other party called her brother Lin Chen.
Of course he knew that Lin Chen and Huang Weiwei were just pure brother-sister love, but it was because of pureness and love that made all this more difficult.
"Since I appeared in front of them, Weiwei hasn't said a word to me, and I'm like a coward, and I don't even dare to look at her." Lin Chen sniffed and smiled, "Actually, we are very close. Fate, she was my primary school classmate, we went to the same university later, and Huang Ze and I met because of her. Of course, I was born gay, and Weiwei didn't like me either. She liked obedient boys like little wolf dogs. The other party must have good muscles and be good to her. She is probably the most assertive girl I have ever met. Her parents let her study business and inherit the family business, but she wants to be an obstetrician because she said she likes it The joy of welcoming a new life. She is very capable and is already a resident doctor, so when Young Master Zhou asked her this, she stood up and told me clearly that the other party's chest was up and down, and he was still breathing, and the 16 people on the opposite side, they still alive."
When Lin Chen talked about Huang Weiwei, he became a little rambling, Xing Conglian even became jealous for a moment, but he was very happy, the girl Lin Chen admired must be so honest and brave, which made people admire.
"What a good chance to live, as long as the molten steel is poured down, who can know whether what she said is true or false, so stubborn, really like Huang Ze's sister." He said.
"Huang Ze, it's probably 108,000 miles away from her." Hearing this, Lin Chen pouted, "For example, if the kidnapped person was Huang Ze, he wouldn't be keenly aware of the only one after answering the question. The person who doesn't speak is unusual."
"Chen Yujun, what's wrong with him?"
"Actually, there is a loophole in the murderer's experiment. As a mechanical engineer, Chen Yujun knows exactly where the loophole is. Therefore, he has been sitting in the corner. I think he must have been struggling internally at that time."
"Huang Weiwei also saw the loophole?" Xing Conglian recalled the process that Lin Chen went through.
A balance game, a balance board is erected in mid-air, and a thousand-degree molten steel is overhead. The murderer must ensure that everyone plays the game obediently. Then, there must be something deterring the sober children of aristocratic families, so that even if the police arrive in time, it will be difficult to save them in a short time.
Xing Conglian's body was cold, and he figured out all the joints in an instant.
He looked at his lover sitting cross-legged beside him, and didn't want to hear it any more.
He stood up abruptly and said to Lin Chen: "Okay, I already know, you don't need to say it, now we'll go to solve the clues left by the murderer or anything else, you're not allowed to talk about this matter anymore. It has passed!"
"It hasn't passed, and it can never pass." Lin Chen looked into the distance and almost said to himself, "When the countdown was 1 minute, Huang Weiwei squatted down and patted Chen Yujun's face, like Master Zhou asked her. As the question was, she also asked Chen Yujun a question. The question was very short, and she asked him: Are we stepping on a landmine?"
"Lin Chen, don't talk about it!" Xing Cong snapped his eyes and stopped.
"The main test must have an anti-social personality. He may never experience human emotions such as love and kindness in his life, so he is born with a wrong estimate of human nature. This is the loophole." Lin Chen looked directly at the sun in the sky, Without even blinking his eyes, "Humanity, loopholes are just human nature. There are too many people in this world who are kind-hearted, and they will even sacrifice their lives for some people they don't even know."
When Lin Chen said this, he finally turned his head, his eyes were flushed, but he insisted not to shed a single tear: "You keep asking me what choices I made back then. Then I'll tell you now, back then, I was a complete coward. , I did not stand up in time to take the responsibility I should take, but someone stepped forward, stood in front of me, and protected me with her life and soul. At the countdown of 48 seconds, Huang Weiwei jumped from the sky Going down, the balance board was loose, the mine was triggered, and molten steel fell from the sky. The four of them were fused together..."
"Huang Weiwei, pulled the lever for me."
Lin Chen's words were clear and certain, and he finished his statement word by word.
Xing Conglian wanted to take out a cigarette, but his hands were shaking, and he had no ability to control himself. So what if the truth is covered up, what is Lin Chen's choice, these are not important at all, he regrets listening to this story, and even more regrets why he had to let Lin Chen experience what happened back then.
"You're not a coward," he said with certainty, but he found himself choked up for the first time ever.
Lin Chen laughed at himself, and took the last sip of wine up to the sky: "Huang Ze always asked me why I didn't die. At the beginning, I was thinking, yes, it should be me who will die." He pinched Tighten the wine jar, but said calmly, "Huang Weiwei is also my sister, but not only did I fail to protect her, but I was taken care of in every possible way. She didn't even say a word to me until she died, because she knew that no matter what she Saying anything will be the words that keep ringing in my nightmares. So ah, the smart girl just smiled at me before she died, she put a finger to her lips, told me to shut my mouth, and just jumped like that down."
Lin Chen turned his head and said with certainty, "This is the truth that has been covered up. The stupid and brilliant brilliance of human nature shattered my desperation and broke all the plans designed by the murderer behind the scenes. This video cannot be released. The society the murderer wanted The public opinion frenzy simply cannot continue, because of human nature, she is really beautiful."
"I don't know how much time she spent thinking and making up her mind, but it must be very short-lived, but she even thought about the best way to deal with this matter, which is the way I can't refuse, and can only do it. Lin Chen said, "In this way, I put my hand on the joystick and replaced her as a murderer. She was attacked by the four families but escaped legal punishment. But only in this way, Weiwei will not become the Virgin, no She will become a murderer who wantonly deprives them of their lives to fulfill her nobleness, she can die quietly, this is what she hopes, and it is the only thing I can do for her after being protected." Lin Chen paused. He paused and said calmly, "That is, to cover up the truth."
