The choice Elder Ladi had once faced was even more brutal than the one before Mo Ling.
No matter which option he chose, the consequences would be dire.
They had used the Root-Cause Healing method to return to the past, only to be confronted with such a choice. They thought they could perfectly cure the disease, but instead, they found themselves in an impossible dilemma.
"The Root-Cause Healing method isn't perfect. As they say, even good medicine has its poisons. Sometimes, a cure in one situation becomes a deadly poison in another."
"Sometimes I wonder... is changing the past really any better than leaving it be?"
Elder Ladi seemed lost in his memories. He didn't press Mo Ling for a decision, but stood to the side, muttering softly.
Mo Ling fell silent for a moment, Elder Ladi's words echoing in his mind.
After a moment of contemplation, he made his choice.
"I will make that scientist forget the method, completely eradicating the source of the thought plague."
