Rebellious Game C12.2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chp12. part2

Bai Wei cut straight to the point. “To foresee danger, avoid it, and save everyone. I want to save them, and I need your strength.”

“Couldn’t you have just told us directly? Why did you have to trick us into coming?” Yun Xin couldn’t understand.

At this, Bai Wei sighed deeply. “We tried explaining the situation and extending invitations before, but they all refused. Since they’re law-abiding citizens, we couldn’t force them. We had to respect their individual choices.”

“The number of accidental deaths each year has increased more than tenfold compared to five years ago, and the trend is still rising. Yet the experimental progress has stalled. I can’t let this continue.”

“Luring you here through deception was my sole decision, and I take full responsibility for it.”

“If deceiving you leads to a breakthrough in the experiment, then though I’ve wronged you, I’ll have served all of humanity.”

Yun Xin was speechless. “If you tricked us here and the experiment yields no progress, then you’ve merely wronged us without contributing anything to humanity.”

“We have to try,” Bai Wei said, an indescribable weariness etched on her face. “There are many things I can’t tell my superiors or leaders — otherwise, it would be murder.”

“Limited vocabulary can’t fully convey my meaning. I have to make so many decisions alone, yet I don’t even know what to do.”

“All I can do is keep trying, learning from my mistakes, reflecting on them. Then, with new ideas, I will try again.”

Yun Xin suspected Bai Wei was trying to manipulate her with a sob story, but she had no proof.

“Do the elders know about this?” she asked.

“They’re unaware,” Bai Wei shook her head.

Yun Xin frowned, but the other woman continued, “We conducted a survey beforehand. If they were going to die tomorrow, would they rather know and live out their last day in fear, or remain ignorant and die suddenly in an accident? They all chose ‘remain ignorant.'”

“The elderly participants here were carefully selected, and all volunteered. Some had incurable illnesses, others had lost the will to live and attempted suicide multiple times, and some simply said they had lived long enough. Since the government needed them, they were willing to sacrifice their lives and actively applied to participate in the experiment.”

“While we can’t necessarily prevent death, we strive to respect their wishes in all other matters.”

“They also don’t know about the ‘Evolution Game.’ I arranged numerous lectures for them, including one titled ‘What if Reality Were a Game?’ They probably thought it was just a hypothetical scenario, just a lecture.”

“So,” Yun Xin realized sharply, “if someone is unilaterally informed about the ‘Evolution Game’ but doesn’t believe it exists, they would still be classified as an ‘illegally informed individual’?”
