Zhang Yi's approach is exactly the same as Deng Shentong's.

But this is actually the choice that most people would make.

The girl in red said, "When it doesn't concern you, you can make decisions from a God's perspective. But when you need to kill someone with your own hands, you might make the exact opposite choice. Is this the complexity of you humans?"

After listening to what the girl in red said, Zhang Yi slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his expression full of mockery.

"Ah? Did you misunderstand something?"

Facing the calm gaze of the red-dressed girl, Zhang Yi said calmly, "I don't care about their life or death at all."

"If it doesn't conflict with my own interests, I don't mind doing everything I can to save their lives."

"But in this dilemma, no matter what you do, someone will die. It seems like there is a choice, but in reality there is no choice. But for me, that turned out to be the best choice."

He raised a finger, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Because at a time like this, I don't need to worry about the lives of people on the two tracks! I only need to consider my own interests."

This was the first time the girl in red heard such an answer, and it caused a strange fluctuation in her eyes.

"What has this got to do with your interests?"

"These five people are complete strangers to you. What you're trying to say is that saving five people will reward you more than saving one?"

Zhang Yi waved his hand.

"Those are all uncertainties and are not the crux of the matter at this moment."

He continued: "Whatever they said would not have affected my judgment at the time."

"The reason I chose to turn the train onto the track where only one person was, was simply for my own safety!"

"Because if the train were to run over the bodies of five people, the risk would be far greater than the risk of running over one person."

"So since someone who has nothing to do with me must die, I can only choose the approach that maximizes my own interests at this time."

"It's that simple."

Zhang Yi spread his hands, his expression unchanged as he said this.

"As for later, you asked me to push that man down with my own hands to stop the train. I think I understand. You thought I wanted to sacrifice the interests of a few to protect the interests of the majority."

"You're completely wrong! Because what I care about most is my own interests. As for other people, whether it's one, five, a thousand, or ten thousand people, I don't care that much."

"So, why should I bear the psychological guilt of killing one person for five people who have nothing to do with me?"

Zhang Yi's words surprised the girl in red for a long time.

There was no expression on her face, but her shaking eyes were like the surface of a lake with a stone thrown into it, and it took a long time for it to calm down.

There were so many people participating in the trial this time, but most people's statements were similar.

The criteria they use to judge behavior are nothing more than the conflict between personal interests and collective interests.

Only Zhang Yi doesn't care about any mess at all.

From the beginning to the end, he was determined to live only for his own interests.

As long as it is beneficial to him, he can switch between the principle of maximizing utility and the principle of freedom at any time.

To put it simply, in his world, he is the only one at the center.

This strong self-belief deeply shocked the girl in red.

She was only slightly surprised when she discovered the existence of a species as intelligent as Yang Xinxin. But for a super-intelligent life form of a higher civilization like hers, Yang Xinxin was merely a bit outstanding.

But this was the first time she had seen someone like Zhang Yi.

Oh, perhaps there were similar things in her civilization in the early days of its long history.
