Chapter 669 The Shepherd

No. 22 has no interest in these philosophical thought experiments, and there is no correct answer. Could it be wrong for her to choose to let more people die in order to save someone she knows?What's more, even if someone chooses to save more people by sacrificing the people they know in words, they may not actually do so when encountering such a situation. Words and actions are always two different things.

Therefore, although it seems that this man named Bruce is quite satisfied with her answer, if he chooses to give her enough trust without reservation just because of her verbal statement, then she doubts whether he is what they are looking for People, because an extremely secretive religious group that only meets offline, so credulous to strangers, I am afraid that they have already stripped their underwear.

"I think you made the right choice. People who are strong enough and have their own opinions should all make the same choice as you." Bruce took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat. In that kind of scene, they would paralyze to the ground in fright, crying for their father and mother, refusing to make any choices for their own morality and so-called conscience. Seek relief."

On the 22nd, I thought about it. The situation he described is very likely to happen. The media and public opinion always like to stand on the moral high ground after the event and spray the parties to pieces, but those who cannot make a decisive choice at the scene are very uncomfortable. This is what Wanfu refers to.

"Why do you say that the Messiah will bring disaster?" She asked, "Is there any evidence? I know it's written in this book, but because it's written in a book of unknown origin, I firmly believe it. It's too stupid."

He was not angry at her questioning, looked at the passers-by outside the window, and said with a seemingly irrelevant answer:

"Most of all living beings are sheep without assertiveness and courage. They will only passively follow the mainstream and follow the leading sheep in front. But if the leading sheep is sick and insane, what will lead them to the abyss? People hope Then there is a more farsighted and omniscient shepherd to lead them—the Lord is my shepherd, he is very competent in this respect, he will shout loudly at the flock, and if any sheep is disobedient, he will whip him, But the ensuing problem is that he doesn't regard the flock as an equal life like himself."

When Bruce said this, he asked No. 22: "If you have a ranch with thousands of sheep, but a severe plague suddenly broke out among the sheep, and sheep began to get sick and die one after another, what would you do at this time? "

On the 22nd, I thought about it, "In order to avoid further spread of losses, the infected and suspected infected sheep should be collectively exterminated."

"The right choice, God also thinks so, so there will be a big flood, the world will be reset, there will be killings, and no one will let them go. From the perspective of the shepherds, this is certainly true, but if you are one of them, you will not be infected. Where are the sheep?" he asked.

"Then I will be very wronged, and I will be very unwilling." No. 22 admitted, "But I haven't seen any similar symptoms so far. What disease are you referring to?"

"Extraordinary power." Bruce said: "The sheep have the capital to challenge God, which God will never allow. Some extraordinary people even tried to meddle in the realm of the Creator and created some creatures that should not exist. Have you ever heard of a flying horse with wings in the east? If you were a shepherd, would you allow the sheep to challenge your authority?"

No. 22 understands that Mei Yibai has been dead for so long, and the turmoil she created is still going on for a long time, and the waves are getting worse.

"Are you a superhuman?" He looked at her again, "You can tell the truth, even if you are, it doesn't matter, we are just sheep, we are not hostile to superhumans, but God doesn't think so."

"I think so, but unfortunately not." She laughed self-deprecatingly.

He nodded. After all, the absolute number of extraordinary people is still very small, and it is not so easy to meet them by chance.

"God will not allow the existence of extraordinary beings. A disaster that will sweep the world like a flood is coming. As his spokesperson, the Messiah will open the gate of the other world, and let the beasts from the other world swallow up the whole world to prevent this. The only solution to everything is to kill the Messiah!"

No. 22 was taken aback. His description of the gate of another world was very similar to the "passage". Is it a coincidence that the magic stick talked nonsense?

Bruce noticed that her face changed slightly, and was about to ask, but she noticed her gaffe, and immediately said: "It's very interesting to chat with you, whether it's your views on Satan, or the thought experiment just now, it's very inspiring to me, But I still have something to do next, and in the evening, we can continue our discussion online..."

She decided to take a risk, because Bruce has been leading the conversation since they met. If the rhythm and topic have been controlled by him, she might not be able to answer any topic, or the answer is not satisfactory to him. After all, she is in theology. On the one hand, she is half-hearted, and the effect of cramming is limited after all. Instead of doing that, she might as well disrupt his rhythm by surprise, lest he come up with some ridiculous topics.

She made it clear that she was saying goodbye, drank the remaining coffee in the cup, and took out her wallet from her handbag as if she wanted to pay the bill. Her implication was obvious—what we talked about can be discussed online, without If you need to meet offline, then this date is a waste of time. I can’t understand this book no matter how stupid you are. Who knows if the content in it is true or not. If you can’t come up with something substantive to attract me Stay, then I'm sorry, I don't want to accompany you, I don't have time to chat with you.

Sure enough, Bruce, who was in high spirits, was caught off guard by her sudden farewell. The other topics he had prepared were suddenly useless. In this kind of public, a girl wanted to leave, and he dared to forcefully stop her?

There was very little time left for him to hesitate and think, she had already taken out her credit card, and was about to swipe it to pay the bill and leave.

Number 22 is also taking a risk. If he really lets her go without stopping, it can only prove that she has failed and is too far from his standard, so that he doesn't regret her farewell at all, or He wasn't the person they were looking for, anyway, it was inevitable to be scolded by No. 2, and maybe No. 27 would also be scolded.

"Wait!" In desperation, Bruce waved his hand to the waiter and signaled that he would pay the bill, and said to No. 22, "If your business is not very important, are you interested in going with me to open your eyes?"

"Oh?" No. 22's hanging heart was relieved, "What do you mean?"

"I can't say this for the time being." He glanced around, "The occasion is not right, but I can assure you that I will definitely not disappoint you."

No. 22 is not a female junior high school student who has never seen the world. If I knew a man's words should not be trusted, what if he brought her to his house and wanted to show her his "big baby"?

She groaned in embarrassment, "It's not particularly important, but if you don't know anything... I don't really want to push it away."

Bruce can't help it, if he didn't stop her just now, that's all, since he stopped her, and then she left, he is too shameless for a big man.

He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Séance, have you heard of it?"

"drop……"

"Hush! Keep your voice down!"

Bruce peeked nervously around, afraid to be overheard.

Number 22 showed a strange expression.

Bruce had to explain further: "Not the kind of game you'd imagine teens with hormonal excesses would play for a thrill, but a real... séance."

His face flushed slightly, and he tried his best to explain that these seemed to humiliate him. He should have reservedly agreed to take her at her request. It was as if he had accidentally played a wrong card , and then the gambler who revealed his hole cards in advance in order to save the situation.

On the 22nd, he pretended to be interested, and his eyes lit up, "I haven't participated in a séance, can you really take me there?"

They met on a niche website with a dark and curious orientation, so she must be interested in this kind of dark and curious-oriented stuff, otherwise it would not fit her personality.

"Of course." Bruce finally breathed a sigh of relief, settled the bill with the waiter, and motioned to go out together.

When he came outside the coffee shop, he looked around and said in a low voice: "As I said before, I can take you there, but I want to ask you, do you want to have a casual experience, or do you want to... Participate in it yourself?"

"Can I also participate? Is it okay to have no experience at all?" No. 22 confirmed.

"Experience doesn't matter. It's better to say that it would be better if you haven't participated in those funny séances, but we have a rule that only members of our group can participate in séances." He looked at her meaningfully.

"To join you, what special procedures or conditions are required?"

"We have very high standards for new members, but I don't think you should be a problem." He didn't answer directly, waved to stop a taxi, sat in first, opened the door and asked, "Are you coming?"

This is his attempt to regain the initiative, and it is also a test. If No. 22 doesn't even have the guts, even if she becomes one of them, it doesn't make any sense. A bigger test is yet to come. This small adventure What counts?Of course, normal people are unlikely to just get in the car with strangers, but do they need normal people?
Seances sound suspicious. Believe it or not, it’s always right to respect ghosts and gods and stay away. Number 22 thinks that the woman who will get on the bus in this situation is either crazy or stupid, but the role she wants to play She was a crazy female college student whose curiosity overwhelmed her rationality. She thought they needed such a person, so she also sat in the back seat without thinking, and simply said, "Let's drive."
