Chapter 176 - 176: 144 Difficult Part 2

He did this to avoid being interrupted by others.

Carrie Thomas was very cooperative, not only not bothering him, but also informing others in advance if they approached to greet him, leaving their contact information and saying they would get in touch later.

Carrie Thomas, a newly popular singer in her country, was acting like a female assistant at this time.

Harrison would occasionally open his eyes to look at Rainer in the distance, whispering with a group of people.

Harrison narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the strongest presence among them, a middle-aged white man.

He took out his cell phone and searched.

The white man was indeed billionaire Charles Butler.

Beverly, Charles Butler, 29 years old, a joint project between China and the United States, an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow morning…

The overlapping keywords and intelligence were a match.

After today’s party, Rainer would stay at Beverly Hills, and the trilateral meeting, with him acting as the introducer, was to take place there tomorrow.

The meeting would end in the evening, and Rainer would then likely take a helicopter with Charles Butler to visit the factory site in Casades County, where the accident would happen.

A very complex emotion was born in Harrison’s heart.

Both horrified and elated, his heart suddenly accelerated, and his expression changed rapidly.

Should he do it?

Or not do it?

How should he do it?

He plunged into intense contemplation.

One clue after another churned in his mind, sometimes coalescing and sometimes being dissected one by one.

He had already saved one “dead person,” Susan Lambert.

But Susan’s historical status was low, her influence relied on Carrie Thomas.

The potential negative impact of saving her life would possibly cause Carrie to lose important life experiences and suppress her creative inspiration.

However, Carrie’s inspiration was instead stimulated by Harrison’s actions, so the negative impact did not occur and instead became positive.

When saving Susan, because the situation was urgent and involved Carrie’s life, Harrison did not think much about it, and did not care about the consequences.

However, he eventually reflected and summarized, so now he had to consider the implications of Rainer’s fate in a dialectical manner.

On the surface, saving him seemed good, certainly bringing short-term benefits to humanity.

But perhaps one of his achievements would become the trigger for a world war in the future.

The fluttering of the Butterfly Effect would always be unpredictable, with both positive and negative impacts likely to occur, just like Schrodinger’s Cat.

Harrison’s hesitation and misgivings were rooted here.

“It seems that your meditation hasn’t helped you at all. What exactly are you struggling with? Can you tell me? It’s better to share opinions. Don’t always try to shoulder everything by yourself; it will be very tiring. You will eventually collapse like this,” Carrie Thomas said, resting her chin on one hand and blinking at him.

Harrison opened his eyes, thinking about what to say.

After a while, he said, “I was just considering a philosophical question.”

“Huh?”

“If you could go back to ancient times and have the chance to save Yue Fei from dying, would you do it? Wouldn’t you stop him from going to the Karl Pavilion to die?”

Carrie was confused.

Harrison’s thinking had jumped too fast, catching her off guard.

But she still seriously considered it and nodded. “Of course I would save him. Yue Fei was such a good person; it’s a pity that he died young. If he could live, maybe the Song Dynasty wouldn’t lose so badly.”

Harrison smiled, “Ordinary people’s linear thinking would judge it this way. But have you ever thought that Yue Fei was a loyal minister? He had the words ‘serve the country with utmost loyalty’ engraved on his back. I believe that even before he was controlled and executed, he was loyal. But if you saved him at the Karl Pavilion, would he change his views out of despair and no longer be foolishly loyal? And with his prestige in the military, how do you think things would develop after he makes a call to action?”

Carrie thought for a moment. “Would external troubles and internal strife escalate further?”

“In the end, who do you think could win? Yue Fei? The Song Dynasty?”

Carrie shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“Who do you want to win?”

“Yue Fei.”

Harrison asked, “Alright, let’s assume that Yue Fei wins after a tough battle. During this process, what actions would the Jin people take? In the end, would more people die than in the real history, or fewer?”

Carrie was left speechless by his questions.

After a long time, she finally said with resignation, “So this is what’s bothering you?”

“Yes, I’m debating whether or not to save Yue Fei.”

Carrie thought for a moment. “I think I would still save him.”

“Huh?”

Carrie took a deep breath and spoke quickly.

“Because there’s no point in being overly cautious. If you have the chance to save someone and don’t, it means you’re letting humanity lose a better possibility. Maybe a more cruel war would kill more people, but history can always correct itself, and people can always find ways to solve problems. So I don’t want to worry too much, I just want to be more decisive and proactive.”

“Let history itself determine the outcome. Don’t always think of yourself as so important and see civilization as so fragile.. Think about it, so far humans have encountered numerous near-extinction disasters, haven’t we? And in the end, haven’t we always survived?”
