Chapter 137: Chapter 136: All are wiped out.

After thinking for a while, Vincent couldn’t figure it out. He knew it was because he had too little information to make a detailed deduction, let alone a reasonable guess.
The final choice was to choose between natural affinity and inaction.
Given the current situation, Spirit Resistance seemed more appropriate, and this amplification was a new addition, perfect for trying out.
“I choose amplification.”
Immediately, a streak of light flew across the Miracle Secret Realm and entered Vincent’s body. He felt as if when he stood still, there was an extra protective layer outside the Beast space in his mind, wrapping him up.
However, as soon as he moved, the protective layer disappeared.
“Don’t just stand there. Staring at it won’t help!”
Dragon saw Vincent staying still and urged impatiently.
Seeing that the fog behind him was approaching, Vincent started walking towards the fork marked “Event”.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw the fog behind him suddenly engulf the other path, then slowly rolled towards him.
Initially, Vincent and his companions were terrified by the fog’s unusual behavior, but when they saw that it only engulfed the other path and did nothing else, they finally relaxed and understood the meaning of this Mysterious Realm.
“So, this Realm wants us to break through each level one by one, just like the game I played on TV before!”
Evan immediately related it to the game he played today and was no longer afraid but excited.
“Haha, Vincent, I told you my teaching method works!”
Dragon boasted with a smile.
But Vincent felt disheartened.
“I can’t believe you guys.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Vincent, Dragon, and Evan found themselves in a control room.
“We really made it here!”
“What is this place!”
“It’s so strange. How did I end up here?”
Not only did Vincent arrive here, but Dragon and Evan followed him into the control room.
As Vincent sat in the chair, he found himself dressed in a blue tram driver uniform with a safety vest and labor insurance shoes on his feet.
In front of him was a control panel with various controls and monitoring equipment, displays showing various parameters of the train, and various controllers and joysticks.
At this moment, a piece of information appeared in the minds of Vincent, Dragon, and Evan: You are now facing the Trolley Problem. If you switch the track ahead, you will crush an innocent person. If you don’t switch, you will crush five innocent people. Please make your choice. “How could this Mysterious Realm be like this?”
‘Can anyone really make this choice?”
Dragon and Evan were shocked by this information and couldn’t think clearly, obviously running out of brainpower.
“You guys haven’t heard of the Trolley Problem?”
Dragon and Evan looked at each other and said at the same time, “No.”
Vincent rolled his eyes. They hadn’t even heard of such a famous challenge.
But there was no time to explain it to them now. In a few minutes, the tram would hit the five people, and this level would be cleared.
Seeing Vincent so composed, Evan became anxious.
“Hey, five of our own kind will be crushed in front of you, how can you be so indifferent!”
“It doesn’t matter, as long as they get crushed, the level is cleared. It’s just a level, no one will really die.”
“How can you be sure that this will pass the level? I think it’s better to let only one person die!”
Evan started to randomly press buttons on the control panel and tried to pull the joystick.
“Don’t mess around! Trust me, I’ll be able to pass the level like this. This is a one-in-a-billion chance, don’t mess it up for me!”
Vincent hurriedly restored the buttons Evan messed with and started struggling with Evan over the joystick.
“You let go!”
“You should let go!”
The two continued to argue, and Dragon tried to break up the fight.
“Stop arguing!”
But the two ignored Dragon in their fit of rage, angering him enough to join the struggle over the joystick. “I’ll do it my way!” “Don’t grab, don’t mess!”
“Both of you, stop!”
The three of them kept pushing and shoving.
Crack!
Seeing the broken joystick in his hand, Dragon awkwardly grinned his teeth.
“I didn’t mean it…”
Vincent and Evan looked blankly. Before they could say “woc”, they heard alarms blaring in the control room, warning texts flashing on the screen and red-alert messages about train derailment broadcasted from the speakers.
Then they felt a violent shaking and vibrations, making it difficult for them to maintain balance and stability. Their vision became tilted and chaotic, and the objects inside the carriage were also displaced and tilted.
“Damn, we actually derailed?!”
“This is too much, it shouldn’t be like this!”
“Ahhh! Save me!”
The speeding train made a piercing sound as the bottom scraped against the ground, followed by faint collision sounds.
This message appeared in their minds:
[You killed all six innocent people, successfully passed the first level and obtained the amplification [Bloodthirst]: When harboring murderous intent towards others, your skill power increases by 10%, Spirit Resistance decreases by 10%, lasting 7 days.]
The three of them felt their bodies lose control and in an instant, they were back at the original fork.
“Ah? Six people died? We still passed?” “Bloodthirst? Is it mocking us for being a killer?”
Vincent stared at Dragon and Evan silently.
“What are you looking at? I just wanted fewer people to die! Besides, you contributed to this outcome too!” Evan was annoyed.
“But because of your struggle, all six people died.” Evan had nothing to say and just turned his head away.
Dragon was also a bit embarrassed.
“Forget it, we’ve passed this level anyway.”
Vincent didn’t want to dwell on this matter either. After all, it was the responsibility of all three of them.
But he had doubts in his heart.
Why did different choices result in passing that level? Could it be that it was not a multiple-choice question but an open-ended one, and any choice would pass?
Was this the “Event” level?
No, it probably wasn’t that simple.
However, it could be inferred that there might be other logic problems in this Miracle Secret Realm. They might encounter them on the following forks.
What kind of amplification would they receive at that time?
It was certain that it would be directly related to their performance in the level.
If they wanted a specific type of amplification in the future, they could try to solve the problem in that direction.
After thinking about all this, Vincent and his companions continued to move forward on this path.
With their experience from the previous fork, they advanced quickly and soon arrived at the second fork..
