The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

There was too much stuff in the mouth, and he made a muffled sound.

Basically, if you know it's wrong, why do you still do bad things?

This is inconsistent with the education Zhuang Wu received.

Lin Qiao smiled slightly: "Of course, I know that I won't be able to convince you just like this... So Zhuangwu, let me ask a question first."

"Do you think a righteous hero can commit evil deeds?"

"?"

what?

Zhuangwu's mind was dazed for a moment, his throat squirmed, and he swallowed what was in his mouth.

Although he wanted to deny Lin Qiao's words directly, he hesitated when it came time to speak.

"Of course it is possible."

Before Zhuang Wu could speak, Lin Qiao chuckled and answered.

"Eh? But like that..."

"If good people are not more cruel than bad people, how can we deter them and maintain the so-called justice and order?"

Killing, the act of depriving others of their lives, is undoubtedly wrong.

But it is precisely because of the threat of the death penalty that has existed since ancient times that some villains with evil intentions are afraid and think carefully before doing anything.

"In short, as long as we carry the banner of love and peace, no matter how dirty the means are, it is just a necessary process leading to he - the premise is that we can win."

"Is that so...?"

"That's right, if you think about the problem aside from the lower limit, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

Listening to Lin Qiao's gushing words, Zhuang Wu nodded blankly.

To be honest, this was the first time he had heard of this statement.

Or to be more correct, this is already challenging the three views of the good boy he used to be.

only--

"I still don't quite understand what to do..."

After scratching his head, Lin Qiao's words made him feel as if he understood something, but he also felt more confused because of this.

And the latter was not dissatisfied.

"As expected, if you directly say that you understand, I will be a little worried that you will go astray."

"Anyway, let's change to a somewhat classic question - what would you do if a wolf wanted to eat a sheep?"

Wolf?sheep?

Zhuang Wu thought for a moment and looked at Lin Qiao with some confusion: "Is this some kind of metaphor?"

"It may or may not be the case, but it's not too important. Just treat it as an ordinary natural problem."

"A natural question..."

But the more Lin Qiao said this, the more Zhuang Wu became suspicious...

"So the wolf refers to the northern capital and the sheep refers to the eastern capital?"

"You can say that, but you can also say it the other way around."

"...It happens that you are really annoying like this."

Seeing Lin Qiao drinking coffee there, Zhuang Wu was speechless, and at the same time he was deeply disgusted by this kind of behavior.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Qiao shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, okay, since you don't like it, then I'll just say it."

In view of the torture (crossed out) of special training for a day, it is better not to increase the workload of his brain.

"Zhuangwu, it doesn't matter whether you choose to help the wolf, help the sheep, or stand by and do nothing. The point of this question is not who you choose to help, or who you choose to harm."

"If you choose to help the sheep, the wolf will starve to death because it cannot catch food; if you choose to help the wolf or stand by, the sheep will be eaten."

Helping one party is equivalent to harming or even killing the other party...

Although this conclusion sounds a bit like heresy, it is the most true when you think about it carefully.

It's just that Dongdu and Beidu are not really wolves and sheep...in other words, the relationship between the two parties is completely interchangeable.

Once Beidu's invasion of Dongdu fails, and Dongdu's losses are not that great, then the next step will naturally be Dongdu's revenge against Beidu.

——If the honest man was still the Prime Minister at that time, and there was no basilisk to cause trouble.

Zhantu didn't want to listen to Himuro Gentoku and go to defend the Eastern Capital, and this was partly for this reason.

As a hero who protects people, if this matter follows the normal course of war, no matter what he does, a large number of innocent people will be injured in the end, and the knight system will completely become a weapon of war.

In this case, it is better not to take action at all...

But unfortunately, this idea naturally failed due to the secret actions of a certain basilisk.

"But Zhuangwu, you are different. As an outsider in this world, from a purely rational point of view, your existence is just like a bystander in the problem. You have no conflict of interest with any party, so you are in a completely neutral position by nature."

Therefore, no matter which party he helps, it is wrong.

As Kureha said, this is not a place suitable for a righteous hero, but a war between countries and people.

It won’t work if we have the ridiculously naive idea of ​​“protecting everyone”.

The consciousness of killing and being killed.

This is what those who step onto the battlefield should do.

"Then if it were a coincidence, what would you choose to do?"

"My choice?"

Naturally, the wolf and the sheep are exploited to the maximum extent at the same time. Is this even necessary?

Lin Qiao chuckled and then shook his head.

"Forget it, rather than giving you something like a reference answer and limiting your thoughts, I hope you can make a judgment based on your own thoughts."

"That's true..."

After all, no matter how correct other people's opinions are, they are still theirs...not to mention that this guy in front of me is really too arrogant!

But complaining was a complaint, and Zhuang Wu conscientiously chose to keep his mouth shut.

And what the other party said was indeed correct. He really had no intention of intervening in this war.

Chapter 421 Picking up the dream

"Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?"

After having enough wine and food, Zhuang Wu asked casually with some unwillingness to give up.

It's just that he almost knows the answer to this point in his mind. How can there be such a good thing in the world...

"Yes, I have."

"Sure enough, there isn't...Ehehehe? There is actually one?"

His eyes widened for a moment and he turned to look at Lin Qiao.

"The specific method is..."

Seeing Zhuang Wu's anxious look, Lin Qiao smiled and said, "I don't know~"

“…”

So Zhuangwu withered again.

To a certain extent, Lin Qiao's words were like asking someone if there are aliens in the world. The other person replied that there must be some if the universe is so big.

And when asked about the specific location, the other party seemed unable to answer.

——Why don’t you just talk about it!

"It's just the consciousness of doing evil..." Stretching and leaning behind the sofa, Zhuang Wu was in a daze for a moment.

It was not that he couldn't understand what Lin Qiao said, or that he felt at a loss because he understood the meaning.

Compared with doing something that is obviously right, persisting in it even though you know it is wrong requires more courage.

.....The above premise is for people with conscience and normal views.

If there are some scumbags who take pleasure in this, it is not within the scope of discussion... I am afraid that they themselves also enjoy it.

"But what should we do..."

Looking at the news program that was still broadcasting the disaster situation in Dongdu, Zhuangwu scratched his hair a little irritably.

Because Lin Qiao did not reveal to him the next action of a certain basilisk.

Or because another time traveler intervened in advance, even he himself is not sure whether the subsequent development will be the same as before - after all, evolto's evolutionary drive has been taken away.

So whether it was the subsequent knight war or Xidu's intervention, these were all pieces of information that Zhuangwu didn't know.

——The situation in Beidu and Dongdu alone is enough to cause a headache.

"And from what standpoint should I intervene in this kind of thing..."

The more he thought about it, the less he had an answer, so he sighed helplessly.

Like Lin Qiao, it would be a good choice to simply choose not to intervene or simply watch, and even get the benefits you need... But in the end, he is not Lin Qiao.

And I don’t want to be able to act arbitrarily like the former.

After all, it was too embarrassing for him to do nothing to save people who were suffering.

But then the problem returns to what it was at the beginning - helping one party without authorization is equivalent to harming the other party, and at the same time, he does not have the position to reasonably intervene in this war.

'Actually, it's not impossible...'

Such an idea suddenly appeared in my mind for no reason, but then I shook my head because of my naivety...or, in other words, I didn't know if it was really a good idea to do this.

When I was struggling in my heart, the TV in front of me suddenly went blank - no signal?

clap clap!

I walked up and took a few shots, but it didn't get any better.

"What a coincidence, the TV seems..."

Just when Zhuangwu wanted to call someone who was washing dishes in the kitchen to come over and use his knowledge of physics to solve the problem, the TV signal was restored again.

But what is shown above is no longer the previous news program, but a man wearing a brown coat.

[Ahem, gentlemen and ladies in front of the TV, I am Kamen Rider Grease from Hokuto. 】

"Kamen Rider?"

And he’s from Beidu?

[The war has begun, but due to the obstruction of the sky wall, neither tanks nor fighter jets can be used. 】

[However, in this case, we are the best weapons of war. 】

As if to verify his statement, Saruwatari Kazumi on the TV said this, and at the same time, he took out the squeeze driver and transformed in front of all the audience.

[In the final analysis, our purpose is just the Pandora's Box kept by the Toto City Government and the full bottles held by Kamen Rider Build. 】

[As long as these two things are recovered, we will leave immediately, but if we refuse, we can only seize them by force. 】

[By the way, from now on, our principle is not to harm ordinary people, which means that if you don’t step into the battlefield, you will not be harmed... But on the other hand, if you dare to come over, your safety cannot be guaranteed. . 】

Saying this, Kamen Rider Grease's face moved closer to the camera, and with a sour voice, the picture on the TV changed to a color screen again.

"It seems that the other person is also a worrying person."

Lin Qiao, who walked out of the kitchen, shook off the water on her hands and threw the apron aside.

Although there is a saying that it is difficult to accept the fate of a foreign king, but it can be said that it is not easy to do this under the pressure of one's own prime minister and the basilisk.

"In this way, the issue of civilian injuries that you are most worried about will be solved..."

Looking back at Zhuang Wu who had already taken out the space-time drive, Lin Qiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
