Coolest Girl in Town

"Don't worry. Matthew is coming after me, so he will never harm Danny," Alexander comforted her.

A somber mood enveloped the people in the sick room at the mention of Matthew.

"The deadline is tomorrow. If we can't find Danny, do we have a solution other than doing what Matthew said, which is live streaming the massacre?"

Matthew was asking for one hundred innocent people's lives.

What kind of term is that? He's a psycho! We are no different from him if we comply.

However, he won't release Danny if we disobey him. Choosing one among the two options will always lead to another party's end. Narissa was upset with the limited options.

Upon hearing the question, Elise lowered her gaze and sighed. Their dilemma was a replica of the trolley problem, which was a famous series of thought experiments in psychology.

A train without functioning brakes was speeding down its track and would eventually kill the five people who were tied up on the current track if it continued on its path. On the other side, it could also be diverted onto another track, where only one tied-up person was waiting, by pulling the lever. Now, you were an onlooker and were given the option to pull the lever. Would you rather do nothing or interfere?

Every man's life had to be taken seriously. However, no matter what your choice was, another party was bound to be killed.

Having death on your conscience would bother you for the rest of your life. At least for Elise, it was a problem with no solution.

However, now they had to choose between one person and one hundred people.

"If things are bound to go that far, I'll do it." Tucking Elise in bed, Alexander began with a casual tone, "I can't watch him take my younger brother's life without doing anything."

The three women in the room fell into silence at his determined words.

It wasn't that they never gave it a thought. However, their morality and conscience were bothering them, so they forced the thoughts into the back of their minds and refrained from giving in.

On the contrary, Alexander just announced his inhumane decision with a casual tone, and it shocked them.

Narissa and Ariel exchanged looks. The looks on their faces mirrored each other's thoughts as they both believed that he meant what he said.
