How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 144: Insinuating topics can easily go astray

"Let me put it cruelly: the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in regretting it now. Those who are dead are dead, and I will not help you find excuses to justify this matter."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said this while wrapped in a blanket.Coze, who was sitting next to her, looked lethargic and a little distracted.

But he was clearly listening, because he responded quickly: "I don't think I need this. They've both committed countless crimes in their lives, and from an objective perspective , I don’t think they deserve to live.”

"But, what standard are you using to judge?" It was obvious at a glance that this person was being pursued mercilessly by the tough-talking Fujimaru Ritsuka, "If you yourself agree with this standard of judgment, then why are you so obvious now? Do you regret it? If you think they really deserve to die, why do you call the result of this matter 'messed up'?"

After the intensity of the psychic phenomenon weakened, the temperature quickly rose back up under the action of the constant temperature system inside Galatan Star Castle.Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that she had just put the blanket on to keep her warm, and the temperature around her quickly became pleasant.

Coze opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something, but he ultimately said nothing.This topic is too difficult for him to talk about, but if he doesn't talk about it, it will be stuck in his throat.If he is left to judge for himself, confiding it to a trusted other person may seem very weak, but isn't it just another act of cowardice to pretend the problem doesn't exist?
He fought with himself like this for more than two seconds. According to the original body's thinking speed, this was almost a century.And Fujimaru Ritsuka just looked up at him wrapped in a blanket, clearly implying that if Koz didn't respond at all, she would not let this topic continue.

So, after a century of Coates' life passed, he spoke with great difficulty - not directly asking the question he wanted to ask, but trying to detour it into a different angle: "You have never encountered anything like this before. Problems? Like having to kill some people you don’t really want to kill... or something like that?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked and replied almost without pause: "Of course, after all, I rarely 'want to kill'."

She said this sentence very lightly, but in fact, she was also instinctively trying to hide many heavier things under this blurred focus.When this topic was brought up, her first reaction was "Don't make the atmosphere too serious", but then she thought about it and realized that she seemed to be pushing a topic that "should be very serious".

After realizing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka had to take another second to reorganize his thoughts, and then spoke, deciding to add some details to his previous easy answer: "It's like the tram problem, which was a famous question in our time. It's an ethical issue that has been messed up. Basically, five innocent people were tied to the tram track. An out-of-control tram was coming towards them and was about to crush them to death. Standing on the roadside You can choose to switch the switch to let the tram go to another track, but if you do this, the staff working on the other track will die.' Such a premise, and then ask whether you should switch here As long as I am still doing something similar to 'saving the world', no matter what, I have to make this choice."

"Then what will you choose?" The topic itself has deviated from Cozz's original expectation. This is the consequence he must bear if he does not speak directly and chooses to circumvent. But at the same time, he also really wants to know how Fujimaru Ritsuka will deal with herself. The question in his mouth, "We all know that of course you will choose the option that causes less harm. But, how can you convince yourself that this action is correct in this 'lose-lose' situation?" "

"Don't ask such fruitless questions. In this dilemma, there is no completely correct 'moral behavior'." Ritsuka Fujimaru commented, "As long as you make a choice, it means that someone will die because of your choice - - The same applies to choosing 'not to do' at the gate. After thinking about this, the remaining problems can be easily solved: since no matter what you do, you will become a sinner, then at least from a utilitarian point of view, choose to accept Choose the option with the least loss."

This was something Coates had never thought about before.In his concept, giving up one person and saving five people is obviously a more efficient, more reasonable, and therefore more correct choice.When he asked the question, he was very clear that Fujimaru Ritsuka, who attaches great importance to "individual life", would also choose to give up the minority in order to save the majority. However, he did not expect that although the other party made the choice he wanted, he denied it. the correctness of this action.

"This idea may be a bit difficult for you to understand. After all, you were born as a 'judge'." Fujimaru Ritsuka commented, "While the Emperor gave you the necessary knowledge and judgment to carry out judgment, he also It is equivalent to giving you the corresponding power. If you are regarded as an entire court when executing this power rather than a separate individual, then your 'trial' itself will undoubtedly be the result of the huge political system of the empire. It is a legitimate act to endorse. Of course, this is just an abstract metaphor in concept. It doesn’t mean anything in practice. You are too utilitarian in the execution process...ahhhhhhh what am I talking about myself? If you don’t understand it!”

Fujimaru Ritsuka let herself get into the blanket between anger and embarrassment.This was originally a question she had thought about in her fantasy. She was seriously trying to find out the crux of Conrad Coates' failure to do his job as the "Judge".But at that time, she had the thinking ability of the original body level, and she did find a conclusion that she felt was correct. If she were to try to re-derive it methodically now, then this would be a mixture of ethics, law, It is still a bit too difficult for her to sort out the complex issues in philosophy, even psychology and other social science subjects with her average appearance and mediocre mind.

"All in all, the conclusion I want to express is: It is completely impossible to accomplish all your goals with clean hands!" The girl's voice came out muffledly from the blanket, "Don't you think 'Sin Drinker' 'Is this title just 'sipping on the sins of others'? Of course it also includes all the crimes I will commit for my goals! Imprudent thinking, reckless actions, unnecessary casualties, all due to my orders Of course I have to bear the responsibility for all these things that happen! Of course it would be the same for you!"

"...But it's so difficult." Coz said with some confusion. "For the first time, I found that it is so difficult to face the results of my own trial."

"The right thing is often more difficult." Fujimaru Ritsuka emerged from the blanket again, "I am very happy that this time you did not choose the 'easier' option silently, but came to ask I complain about how difficult it is. But I will only remind you that you are the Primarch, and whether you think about it or not, you are the genetic father of the more than 400 Night Lords remaining. You have The responsibility continues to guide them, teach them the right ways to live, and provide them with an option to become better—at least that’s what I would do if I were in your shoes.”

"But what about the heirs who died because of my fault?" Coz finally summoned the courage to ask this sentence that was barely related to the question he wanted to ask the most, "What should I do with them?"

"Remember them. Remember all this, and then take it as a warning and don't create similar latecomers." Fujimaru Ritsuka's response was cruel, "Whether you want to commemorate them or despise them is up to you, but you must Remember, they are dead, and you have other, living heirs. The past, good or bad, is a foregone conclusion. The dead are gone, and only the living can interact with the world. They may be the ones you should bear. Your sins should not become a shackle that hinders you from moving forward."

This is a rather unsparing and therefore quite straightforward answer.Coates obviously accepted this statement, but he continued to hesitate.Fujimaru Ritsuka was willing to wait for him to gather enough courage to ask the question that he had been reluctant to ask, but unfortunately, the person outside the door was unwilling.

At the moment when Konrad Coates was about to speak again, the door that was finally opened amidst the heavy rumble of mechanical operation successfully choked back the sentence that had reached his lips.Robert Guilliman, who led people through the door angrily, briefly glanced at the furnishings, confirmed that Fujimaru Ritsuka was fine, and then began to scold Curze harshly - which of course caused some turmoil including physical conflicts. .

All in all, none of these things matter in comparison.The important thing is that Conrad Coates finally failed to ask the question he wanted to ask the most:
How on earth should he deal with the unconditional love projected towards him by his offspring?

　Miwu (six o'clock)

　　It’s still hard-written. In fact, what Guda wanted to express to Koz was “To accept the filth of the country is to be the master of the country; to accept the bad luck of the country is to be the king of the world.” I know I expressed it very lazily...

　　At this time, I began to hate why Guda was Japanese and prevented me from directly quoting the Tao Te Ching (crying).
