"The braking system was destroyed? Don't these robbers want to live?"
Xiao Bai was astonished.
They were all on the same train. If you destroyed the braking system, how could you survive?
"Well... I don't know, but from their conversation, I heard them say they were from an anti-ability organization, all desperadoes."
"They seemed to have anticipated that superheroes would come, so they destroyed the braking system, saying it was to prove the hypocrisy of ability user heroes to the world!"
The train conductor roughly recounted the words of the bandits.
"If the brakes are broken, can't the train just stop slowly if we don't accelerate?"
"That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Although Xiao Bai had never ridden a train, she had ridden in a car and felt the principle should be the same.
"Theoretically, yes... but since these robbers said so... I'm afraid they were well-prepared!"
The train conductor said with a worried look.
Just then, Xiao Bai's communicator rang. It was the head of the Ability User Union.
"Hello, is this Hero Xiao Bai?"
"The train you are on is in big trouble."
"On your normal track, twenty civilians were found tied to the rails. At the same time, there is a railway switch. If it switches to another line, there are also twenty people there, but according to the police database, they are all criminals who mysteriously disappeared from prison before."
"A decision needs to be made quickly, the train is about to enter the area where the civilians are trapped!"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai's expression remained unchanged. She asked the train conductor:
"How can I make the train run over and kill those criminals?"
"Ah?" The train conductor was startled. He had never seen such a direct superhero.
Wouldn't ordinary superheroes in such a situation think of other ways? Even if it was unavoidable, wouldn't they at least feign distress?
Xiao Bai, without even thinking, had already made a decision?!
"Don't you... need to think of other ways?"
The train conductor asked.
"No need. Didn't the phone call explain it clearly? There's no time, so make a decision quickly!"
"Also, I just noticed that this train is different from a car. If I stop the engine directly, the carriages behind will have problems."
"And there are no safety belts here, so it's not realistic to jump out with you..."
"So hurry up and tell me, how do I change the train's direction!"
Xiao Bai asked again.
"Then... alright..."
The train conductor told Xiao Bai how to do it.
Afterward, Xiao Bai jumped out of the window and changed the train's course.
A moment later, the train vibrated violently as if it had hit something, and then calmed down again.
All of this was recorded by someone in the carriage with their mobile phone.
Only then did Xiao Bai untie the civilians who were tied to the rails, one by one.
"Sigh, saving people is so much more troublesome than killing them!"
Xiao Bai said with a frown.
If you wanted to kill, dozens of people would be gone in an instant.
But to save people, you had to untie the ropes on them one by one, and then transport the unconscious civilians to a safe area.
It was a very time-consuming affair.
But no matter what, her first mission was considered complete.
Xiao Bai happily returned to headquarters.
However, everyone in the headquarters looked at Xiao Bai with expressions not of congratulations or admiration, but of strangeness, surprise, and even a hint of helplessness.
"Wow, Hero Xiao Bai, your first mission was executed brilliantly, truly impressive!"
"Hero Xiao Bai solved the philosophical trolley problem in just one second, that's amazing!"
Ancestor Person said sarcastically with a fake smile.
"Thank you, it's nothing difficult!"
Xiao Bai, unaware that Ancestor Person was mocking her, thought he was genuinely praising her and smiled proudly.
"Alright, let's discuss how to deal with the aftermath of this!"
"Hero Xiao Bai is a newcomer, mistakes are inevitable. We need to unite now, not laugh at her!"
The person in charge glared at Ancestor Person and said with a solemn expression.
"Hmm? Mistakes? What mistakes did I make?"
"What is the trolley problem?"
Xiao Bai asked, confused.
"You don't know the trolley problem? Haha, you're truly innocently cute?! (Someone please explain it)"
Ancestor Person shook his head with a smile.
Want to use a strong person to shake my position? Don't even think about it!
This kind of person with strong limbs but a simple mind cannot take the position of captain of the Seven Superhumans, nor can they bear this responsibility!
Her abilities can only make her a troublemaker!
Now the person in charge should know my importance!
Ancestor Person was extremely pleased. He felt that ruining Xiao Bai's reputation and public image was more satisfying than killing her directly.
"Now is not the time to discuss that. There will be a press conference soon. Ancestor Person, you have experience facing the media, take Hero Xiao Bai with you!"
"Also... Hero Xiao Bai, this is your script. You must strictly follow what's written here, absolutely no improvisation, understand?!"
The person in charge instructed with a serious expression.
"I... can't read..."
Xiao Bai said, scratching her head.
"This..."
"It's okay, just apologize, say you lack experience in handling emergencies, but fortunately, you saved everyone on the train and other civilians."
"Say it like that, and absolutely do not discuss who was right or wrong with the media. They will set traps to make you say the wrong thing!"
The person in charge looked at Ancestor Person again and said:
"Ancestor Person, you be there to support Xiao Bai. She is also a member of the Seven. If the reputation of the Seven is ruined, no one will be safe!"
Ancestor Person shrugged indifferently and said:
"No problem, don't worry, I'll cover for her!"
Soon, Xiao Bai and Ancestor Person arrived at an outdoor venue.
It was a large open space where dozens of news media outlets had already gathered.
Thousands of people were gathered around the perimeter, some even holding signs that read "Murderer."
"What are their signs saying?"
Xiao Bai asked.
"They are welcoming you, Hero Xiao Bai!"
Ancestor Person said with a sinister chuckle.
