[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Chapter 32 Classic Train 2-choice Puzzle

Closer to home.

Huailiang shared all the information he had obtained with the two of them, and once again emphasized the danger of the sorcerer killer.

The Panxing Sect gave him a deposit of 3000 million yen, which he threw all to other curse masters in order to consume the energy of the protectors.

Gojo Satoru expressed disdain, it was just 30 million, a piece of clothing he bought would cost hundreds of thousands of yen.

"There is still a balance of 8000 million yen... I know that the six-eyed god of the Gojo family will certainly not take a few tens of millions of yen seriously."

Huai Liang's tone gradually became serious, "I originally considered asking you to pay to buy out his time, but after fighting, I found that this kind of person probably has no integrity at all..."

"First of all, this is a task given by the top management. Why should they ask you to fill in the gaps? Secondly, I can sense that he just wants to challenge you."

"He will definitely attack you."

Gojo Satoru yawned, and the hands of the clock on the wall had already pointed to 11 o'clock at night.

"Come on, then. He better be as powerful as you describe."

Xia Yujie shook his head disapprovingly: "We can't take it lightly."

"Okay, got it."

Gojo Satoru rubbed his eyes and said, "What's wrong with you today? Everyone is so long-winded."

Huailiang slowly gathered his energy and suppressed the urge to hit someone.

I silently remembered that these were friendly troops and the enemy had not arrived yet, so I could not start an internal conflict first.

"Then, the last issue we need to discuss is whether to keep or remove the astral plasma."

Seeing Xia Youjie's pupils suddenly shrink, Huai Liang couldn't help but sigh. She really got it right.

"It seems that we couldn't reach a consensus from the beginning. Jie, you want to let her go, right?"

The silver head shook from side to side, and Gojo Satoru realized in shock: "No way! You two secretly planned to do something, and you didn't tell me?"

Huai Liang made a face that said, "You think too much." "That's not true."

"Just from the few times Astral Plasma was mentioned in the conversation, I noticed that Jay referred to her as 'Tenriko'."

At this point, she looked at Gojo Satoru, "Don't you realize that, rather than being the 'catalyst' that is about to be assimilated, Jie seems to identify more with her existence as a human girl... her identity as Tenriko?"

The atmosphere in the room fell into stagnation.

After a while, Xia Youjie opened his mouth with difficulty: "I know that if there is no astral plasma, there may be problems with Master Tianyuan..."

Huai Liang was not moved at all, and almost coldly forced the other party to continue with the next turn: "But?"

"But if she is assimilated, her consciousness will disappear... Don't you think that this is murder?"

Gojo Satoru nodded: "I know. Didn't Mr. Yaga emphasize that? I knew it from the moment I received the mission."

"Liang-chan is also very clear, isn't it possible that you only understand it now, Jie?"

Xia Youjie looked at the two classmates in front of him, who had almost identical, indifferent expressions, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Is it possible that his compassion for the weak is a mistake?

He tried to express his feelings: "But Wu, you also met her today. She was only 14 years old. She went to school like a normal junior high school student and played with her classmates... She, she was a living person."

“Why should I be sentenced to death if I haven’t done anything bad?”

Huailiang tried to understand the other person's train of thought: "So Jie, you think she is innocent and shouldn't die?"

"But since she was born as an astral body, hasn't she been supported by people appointed by Tianyuan? I'm not saying that you have to make sacrifices just because you enjoy the benefits—"

She paused, trying to choose words that were not so harsh, "Of course she could choose to run away, but didn't she agree with this?"

Gojo Satoru seconded the proposal: "Even if it's not from the heart, but she didn't run away and didn't ask for help, which means she will assume the responsibility of the Star Plasma Body by default."

"I can only save those whom I see and who ask me for help."

Seeing that Xia Youjie fell into silence, Huai Liang was too lazy to talk about the serious arguments such as the failure of Tianyuan assimilation might lead to a greater catastrophe and more deaths.

She chose to approach the issue from another angle to directly reveal the essence of the matter.

"Let me give you an example. A train is coming fast. There are five workers working on the track in front of it, and a child is playing on the other branch track."

Huailiang asked, "If you were a switchman, would you let the train run normally and run over the five workers, or would you change the track and run over the playing child?"

Xia Youjie pondered for a moment and cleared his throat: "I will not change the track of the train, because those five people were going to die anyway. If I pull the switch, wouldn't it be me who killed one person?"

Huai Liang nodded: "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't intervene. If I intervene, it would become my responsibility."

"Well, let's take a step back..."

Gojo Satoru sank into the sofa, feeling lazy. "Can I control this train to go back and forth? It would be fair to just crush everyone on both tracks to death, wouldn't it?"

"shut up!"

Huailiang quickly stopped Gojo Satoru's anti-human speech, and then looked at Xia Youjie, "You can even switch them around. The only one who was going to die was Xing plasma."

"But if you intervene and change the direction of the train, it could cause more innocent people to die on the other track."

"I am only responsible for ensuring her safe entry into Hongxing Palace. The rest is up to you."

Huailiang actually considered whether or not to send the star plasma into the Hongxing Palace.

Judging from the main quest at present, the original mission of the protagonists is to do this, and there is a high probability that they will be ambushed by Fushiguro Shigeki in the middle of the journey.

What she is going through now is a very important plot point.

Since the goal is to save the world, it means that the astral plasma incident in the original world line did not have a good result.

After weighing the pros and cons, she finally decided, based on the logic of the story, that stopping Tian Yuan from evolving should be the correct approach to correct the world line.

There was no way. She had not been here for long and had to clear herself of suspicion as much as possible in the early stages. The information she had collected was still too little.

We can only follow the trajectory of events that have occurred on the timeline, conduct investigations, and then decide whether to intervene.

To put it bluntly, you are still betting on a 50% probability.

Having said that, the discussion on whether to keep or go of astral plasma ended.

The three of them stood up and worked together to clear the table.

When Huailiang reached out to take the spoon, he accidentally touched Gojo Satoru's fingers.

Unexpectedly, the other party reacted strongly and loosened his hand instantly, and the spoon fell into the bowl with a dull sound.

The oily soup splashed up, and spots of it stuck to his white T-shirt.

Huai Liang quickly said, "It's none of my business... Did you spend hundreds of thousands of yen on this T-shirt?"
