Chapter 612: Psychological suggestion? Thinking inertia
After speaking a long string of words in one breath, Qin Shang paused. His bright eyes were like two dazzling gems in the darkness, reflecting the chilling coldness and indifference in the dark monastery hall.
"Don't worry, even if you kill two people and the rooms that the other sixteen people enter happen to be the rooms where the "shadow" is, I am not a fool. I also want to live. In order to survive to the next round, I will randomly enter one of the rooms!"
"Come on, everyone. It's up to you to choose..."
After he finished speaking, he crossed his arms over his chest.
His slender fingers tapped rhythmically on his elbows.
Wow!
At this moment, the eyes of the other players in the field looking at Qin Shang have changed from awe, contempt, hostility, to hatred.
All of them turned into a thick fear.
His words revealed only one meaning, which is that from the moment you eighteen people planned to sacrifice me, all of you have become my enemies.
So whether half of you are dead or alive is no longer within my consideration.
And it also revealed a meaning: after this round, ten of you will die in the monastery!
Thinking of this, even those who were already in Room 2 were no exception. They all had horror in their eyes, as if they had heard some anti-human speech.
Perhaps it is because dedication education has been popularized in our country for too long, so that when many people are really in trouble, they will subconsciously weigh the pros and cons and consider the sacrifices and gains.
For example, if sacrificing oneself can save the interests of a group of people, many people will subconsciously have a thought like an electric current passing through their minds... At this time, should I make the sacrifice?
But Qin Shang was never bothered by this problem.
Damn sacrifice, my interests come first!
I live for myself. Anyone who dares to infringe upon my interests is my enemy.
I can bind my interests with others to form a community of interests.
But if one day, at any time, this so-called community organization endangers my interests.
I'm sorry, we have to part ways.
I don't have such a strong spirit of dedication to sacrifice myself for the collective good.
Faced with the choice between the collective and the individual, he will only choose the individual.
If it weren't for the fact that many of Yin Shisan's actions had already had a subtle influence on his character to a certain extent, Qin Shang would have felt a little guilty when he made his instinctive decision now.
He wasn't even willing to expose himself in the last round, because he was the player copied by the "shadow".
Of course, this is not to say that dedicated education is bad. It is just because such views are so popular that many people subconsciously find it difficult to make a decision when facing the first problem of the Internet, the trolley problem.
【Trolley Problem】
Suppose there are two railway tracks in front of you, and an innocent person is tied to one of the tracks.
There is a thousand-foot cliff in front of the other railway track.
At this moment, a tram is about to pass through the tracks with five passengers on board. If the passengers follow the route of the tracks, the person tied to the tracks will be crushed by the tram.
There is a handle in front of you that controls the tracks, determining which track the trolley will eventually travel on.
Let me ask you, if the handle is in your hand, what would you do?
Jiang Qiqi had asked Qin Shang this question before. When Qin Shang heard this question, he did not fall into thought like most ordinary people, and began to weigh whether one life was more important or the five lives on the tram were more important.
He also didn't bother asking about the identities of those five people and that one person.
Just asking a question...
"Can I not choose?"
Jiang Qiqi shrugged at that time.
"If you don't choose, then innocent people on the track will be crushed to death. Then the people on the train may blame you for not turning the wrench when you clearly had the choice, and put the blame on you for that person's death!"
After hearing Jiang Qiqi's answer, Qin Shang sneered and immediately responded.
"Then I'll switch the tracks and let the tram fall off the cliff."
Jiang Qiqi was stunned when she heard this.
He seemed to be surprised by Qin Shang's decisive decision.
"Are you saying that you are going to save the innocent person tied to the track?"
At that time, Qin Shang shook his head;
"No, it's just because I can't beat five people!"
"?"
"If I leave it alone, I might be morally blackmailed, and then people will blame me for that person's death. But if I make another choice and I take care of that innocent person who is about to be crushed, five more people will die, and the person tied to the railroad track will become a witness to my killing of five people... So, let's just treat it as the six of them having the bad luck to meet me!"
"What, what do you mean?"
What does it mean to be unlucky to meet you?
Jiang Qiqi was completely confused at the time, her cerebellum seemed to short-circuit for a moment, and she didn't understand what Qin Shang meant by this sentence.
As a result, the next moment, the young man said with a playful sneer.
"Send the tram off the cliff, and then I will personally kill the innocent person who was originally tied to the railroad track. This way, no one will know that I killed those five people, and there will be no witnesses!"
"There's no way to solve this problem. No matter what choice I make, I will be at odds with the vested interest groups, which will put me in an unfavorable deadlock. If I intervene, people will say I'm too sanctimonious. The person who was rescued probably won't be grateful. Maybe when the families of the five people come to my house, they will push me out to take the blame."
"After all, it was my decision, not his!"
"If I don't save the innocent people on the track, and I watch the tram crush them to death, those five people will blame me for the death in order to shirk their own responsibilities. Isn't this just like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror and finding himself in a different position?"
"If I really encounter this kind of situation in real life, I don't want to be morally kidnapped and have my normal life affected because of my choice, nor do I want to be remembered by others and charged with murder."
"Then we have to do this..."
This is the answer Qin Shang gave to the most difficult question on the Internet. It may not be perfect, but it is enough to reveal his character.
Therefore, Qin Shang is the kind of person who will never make passive choices when being forced.
This also explains why he prepared so many back-up plans in advance...
At the same time, in room 2.
When the female reporter saw this scene, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, opened her dry lips, and turned to look at Zheng Gongwei;
"White Swordsman, is he usually like this?"
"Probably..."
Hearing this, Zheng Gongwei's face twitched and he responded with a dry cough.
Perhaps from the moment those eighteen people planned to sacrifice Qin Shang alone, Qin Shang was the only enemy left among those eighteen people.
In other words, if Qin Shang did not have to gather at least eight people to pass this round, if there were other ways to allow him to enter the next round, it is likely that Qin Shang would even find a way to eliminate all eighteen people directly.
Zheng Gongwei had only seen Qin Shang acting like a servile licker to him, and when he was an obedient younger brother to him, he had no idea that this guy could be such a cruel and ruthless person.
However, in Zheng Gongwei's heart, he actually doesn't care about the lives of other people in the field.
Even though Qin Shang had such decisive determination to kill, it was still beyond his expectations.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, it seems understandable.
After all, he had advanced from a novice fraudster to a level 3 player in less than three months.
Maybe Qin Shang is not the fastest leveler in the history of the second largest area, but he is definitely one of the fastest among the fraudsters!
After all, don’t forget that professional fraudsters are also known as public enemies…
Sometimes you'll run into a fraudster in a multiplayer dungeon. If there are one or two shady guys among the others, it's not uncommon to kill the fraudster professional player in the chaos when the game is about to be cleared, and then collect the 100 points for the optional quest...
In the world of Shenlu, not to mention morality, even the law cannot restrain these people.
The fact that Qin Shang can maintain rapid upgrades and still stay alive shows that this guy is definitely not a simple character!
"Will they gamble? Will they ignore the conditions put forward by 'licking cockroach's feet' and go straight into the room..."
The next moment, in Room 2, everyone stared at Qin Shang's performance of "Urine is the tears of the bladder" with astonishment on their faces, and turned to look at Zheng Gongwei.
Hearing this, Master Zheng narrowed his eyes, thinking that this was the point.
"I guess, most likely not..."
However, before Mr. Zheng could speak, the female reporter next to him shook her head and interrupted him, causing Zheng Gongwei to glance at her with a sidelong look on his face.
"Now, among the four rooms, three of them are filled with this kid's 'shadow', and only one room is filled with his real body."
"It sounds like if we take a gamble, there seems to be a two-quarter chance that we'll choose a room without the boy himself, allowing both teams to clear the level."
"But this is not a question of probability, but a question of psychology."
"In an ideal model, maybe everyone is willing to take a gamble. A 3 in 4 chance is definitely a high chance of winning. Moreover, if it is for a single team, out of four choices, the chance of picking a room without the real guy is /."
"No matter how you look at it, the odds of winning are great. But if you really want to put it into practice, and let nine people bet their lives on a 75% chance of survival, most of them will not agree. Moreover, it is much more difficult for a group to make decisions than for an individual. As long as there is one person who disagrees, they will not be able to make up their minds to take a chance on turning a bicycle into a motorcycle. So in other words, as long as the chance of winning is not 100%, the final decision of both teams will not be willing to take the gamble."
"Besides... he did not give any hope. In actual operation, there is a 100% chance of winning."
What?
Does he have it?
"Didn't he give me a condition? That is, I should do what that kid said, then beg him, follow his words completely, and finally beg his real body to come into my room. I was hoping that he would definitely choose a room if I had to lick the cockroach's feet. I should do what he said, and then beg him to come into my room. If I could convince him to come into my room, I might have a 100% chance of winning..."
"At times like this, people will do a lot of crazy things to protect themselves. Considering the so-called probability is far less than the fear of life and death, so it is very likely that they will make very absurd and even illogical decisions..."
Hearing this, 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' raised her hand to cover her red lips and took a sharp breath.
hiss!
Then, as if to confirm what the woman said, several players standing at the door of Room 1 suddenly looked at each other, and then someone suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes.
