Chapter 43 [] The sun rises (third update)

eight years ago.

The year before Zuo Cang chose to retire as a magical girl.

That year, Zuo Cang was seventeen years old and Zuo Yue was four years old.

November, eleventh day.

That night, Zuo Cang, who was still a sophomore in high school, was studying in the evening, concentrating on studying the math problems assigned by the teacher.

Suddenly, he received a call from the hospital saying that his parents had been in a car accident and died on the spot.

A shocking thunderbolt destroyed all Zuo Cang's psychological defenses.

On one side is the bad news about the parents, on the other side is the ignorant sister.

Zuo Cang no longer knew whether or not he should tell Zuo Yue these things.

For several years after that, Zuo Cang kept lying to his sister, saying that his parents went abroad to work, and when they came home during the Chinese New Year, his sister was already asleep, so they didn't see her.

On the night of New Year's Eve, fireworks were shooting out of the square outside the window, and the laughter of children and the hustle and bustle of gongs and drums could be heard.

The two of them were sitting at home in a deserted manner, eating a table full of New Year's Eve dinner.

The young Zuo Yue still asked with big watery eyes why she had to cook so much.

Zuo Cang just said.

This is reserved for mom and dad. When they return home from abroad during the Chinese New Year, they will definitely be hungry.

He also said, let Zuo Yue go to bed early. Children cannot stay up late, otherwise they will not grow taller.

In fact, Zuo Cang didn't know that Zuo Yue had waited all night and didn't hear the sound of her parents opening the door when they came home. She just saw her brother sitting at the door of the house with his legs wrapped around his knees through the crack in the door. He kept choking, but still tried his best to suppress it.

She didn't want Zuo Yue to hear her cry.

Early in the morning.

But Zuo Cang said with a smile on his face that he wanted to pay New Year greetings during the New Year, so his parents went out early. This was the red envelope they left for Zuo Yue.

In fact, Zuo Yue knows everything.

In fact, Zuo Yue couldn't say anything.

She knew her brother would be sad.

Therefore, Zuo Yue also smiled, accepted the red envelope, and nodded vigorously. She didn't want to ask anything anymore.

The young Zuo Yue obviously didn't have much memory of her mother. She only knew about her mother through photos, videos and her brother's narrations. She only knew what kind of person her mother was.

Chen Xuexin.

A very gentle and kind-hearted woman with two dimples on her face when she smiles.

The only remaining photo of mother and daughter together was a family photo taken during a mountain climbing trip.

Chen Xuexin picked up Zuo Yue when she was a baby. Her eyes were not facing the camera, but she looked kindly at Zuo Yue who was sleeping until she was confused.

She smiled very sweetly.

Zuo Yue always imagined how happy she would be if her mother was still alive.

Adolescence is a sentimental age.

After experiencing separation between life and death, girls will be more sensitive in this regard.

So, when Zuo Yue talked about dreaming about her mother, Zuo Cang didn't say anything.

He just lay quietly next to Zuo Yue, stretched out his hand and grasped Zuo Yue's little hand firmly.

Zuo Cang no longer wanted to lose his loved ones, nor did he want to let go of his sister's hand.

He looked up at the lonely ceiling.

Silent for a long time.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided not to bring up the subject of relatives.

Zuo Cang asked: "Did Miyou tell you something that brought back bad memories for you? Don't worry, my brother will deprive him of his future snacks. Don't even think about eating potato chips for this big rat.

Already."

"I……"

Zuo Yue wavered and struggled repeatedly, and finally she shook her head and said: "Miyou didn't say anything, it just told me that the next battle may be against a magical girl."

Zuo Yue did not say, but in this kind of battle, people are bound to die, either themselves or the enemy.

Miyou doesn't know whether Zuo Yue is ready to kill someone. This is to inoculate Zuo Yue in advance. This intention and starting point are good.

Miyou didn't expect that this would touch upon the most taboo topic in Zuo Yue's heart.

Zuo Yue didn't want to kill anyone, and he didn't want to end anyone's life with his own hands.

There must be ways to solve problems in the world without killing people.

In fact, Zuo Yue also understands that this kind of thing is difficult to achieve.

Zuo Cang knew his sister very well, and seeing the way she hesitated, he knew that things were not that simple.

Just fighting magical girls can make her uneasy?

There must be something else unsaid.

"When you gain this power, you have to shoulder its responsibilities. I don't want you to be exposed to this, just because I don't want you to understand the cruelty of reality."

At this time, Zuo Cang somewhat understood what Zuo Yue was worried about, and he said calmly: "The so-called kindness and kindness have goals. Not everyone can deal with it with kindness, otherwise it would be an indulgence of sin.

.You have forgiven the evildoers, but who will forgive the innocent people who died because of the evildoers? Justice is never fair. It is precisely because of this that we must seek justice for the unjust dead and let the criminals who killed them pay the due price.

This is what motivates us to move forward.”

After silence, Zuo Yue replied.

"Sure enough, I can't be as dazzling as you, brother..."

"What are you talking about? I am very ordinary. You have become the most dazzling person after you chose to become a magical girl. And I am just an ordinary ordinary person. I am just your brother, nothing more."

"But……"

Zuo Yue's conscience is being tortured.

"Once a magical girl's hands are stained with blood, is she still qualified to act for justice..."

Zuo Yue choked up the troubles in her heart and expressed them to her brother.

Seeing that his sister's tears had wet the sheets, Zuo Cang knew that he had to find a way to comfort her.

Whether as an elder brother in life or as a senior in battle, Zuo Cang has the obligation to guide Zuo Yue to the right path and not to go astray because of some setbacks.

but.

This is also a question Zuo Cang has been thinking about.

How can he teach Zuo Yue if he hasn't found the answer himself?

Should we forcibly skip this topic and let Zuo Yue suffer the same torture in the future?

Zuo Cang definitely didn't want to do this.

He had to think of an answer.

silence.

The two of them lay on their sides on the bed and looked at each other, trying to read something from their complicated expressions.

It was Zuo Cang who spoke first: "If...if the situation is special and it is a last resort, you must take action. If you don't kill him, he will kill you. Killing is inevitable. This is how fighting is.

Cruelty, you need to accept this. Killing one person can save more people, and we must make this choice."

The majority and the minority.

The most classic trolley problem,

Saving the many and sacrificing the few is justice.

Therefore, Zuo Cang has always used this excuse to comfort himself in the past.

The magical girl Cang Yan killed all the witches who resisted fiercely, and until the end, she was covered in blood. She used various soaps, shower gels, and washing powders to wash away the smell of blood on her body, and the memories of the curse clung to his skin.

It has become a sin that I have to bear for the rest of my life.

However, who will define the value of the minority and the majority?

If Zuo Cang is asked to make a choice again, the minority will be Zuo Yue, and the majority will be a thousand ordinary people who were kidnapped.

Can Zuo Cang sacrifice Zuo Yue to save unrelated people?

In this exchange, there is no need to think at all, and the answer can be blurted out.
