Please ask the dream

Feng Xue, who was shopping in Crossed Dreams, left the store with satisfaction. Although it was a pity that she still had 6 leftover gifts that she didn't spend, but people always have to have some dreams. What if another unlock coupon is dropped later?

Thinking in his mind, Feng Xue saw the last node on the fourth floor, and it was as he expected [getting his wish].

[Is a prayer without hope really worth realizing? 】

A line of text that had appeared many times flashed by, and the picture in front of him changed. As his vision gradually became clearer, Feng Xue's brows suddenly frowned.

This is a rather desolate composition. A young man wearing a somewhat worn military uniform is looking into the distance. Several people who look like civilians stuff a basket of things into his hands.

This should have been a warm scene of a family between soldiers and civilians, but under the deliberately darkened background and the slightly numb expression, it was cast in a thick haze.

But at this time, the words responsible for the explanation came belatedly——

[The war is over. Although you had expected it, you still felt a sense of despair when you received the order. When I heard about your departure, the local civilians sent you gifts, but looking at the sad faces, you just felt heartbroken...]

[You get a basket of eggs (white). 】

Name: basket of eggs

Category: Survival Assistance

Quality: white ordinary

Effect: +10san value

Note: When the troops were withdrawing from the front line, the locals gave the soldiers a basket of eggs, not because the soldiers were loved, but because they understood that even if they did not send them out, they would be searched by Hongying's soldiers.

…

Looking at the notes on the collection, Feng Xue's original thought of complaining was stuck in his throat, and for a moment there was only silence.

The screen gradually faded to black, and the layer-changing text reappeared——

[Under the dark night, the brilliance of the stars weaves a way home for you. At this moment, there is no need to say more. 】

Seeing the name of [Midnight Homecoming] on the fifth level, Feng Xue felt a little touched in her heart. On this level, the three options that appeared in front of her were all corners of fate.

"It seems that the first node on the fifth floor must be a turning point of fate...is it an ending option?"

Feng Xue, who was not in a good mood, clicked on the node without thinking too much.

[Are your eyes looking at the stars or at the soil? Here, you will face an important decision. 】

"..." As the words that seemed to allude to the immortal poem flashed before his eyes, the scene unfolded. At this time, "he" was standing in the queue, surrounded by a group of dejected soldiers.

At this time, there is no extra text, only two options -

[1. Soldiers should obey orders. 】

[2. Soldiers should be wrapped in horse leather (requires [blood-stained defense map]). 】

At this moment, Feng Xue was eager to choose the second option, whether it was due to the wishes of his predecessor or his own hope, but he had never seen the item named [Blood-stained Defense Map].

Feng Xue, who had never had the habit of smoking in either his previous life or this life, suddenly felt like lighting up a cigarette. He sighed silently, but he could only light one.

There are no items obtained, and there are no redundant prompts. Everything seems to express the helplessness of this option.

Feng Xue was probably aware of what was going to happen next, but he still chose to click on the next node that already showed the content——

【Safe Corner】.

"Is it unsafe?" Feng Xue felt resentment in his heart when he thought of the basket of eggs. It's not that he had much sympathy for his predecessor or Qingyun, it was just that the Hongying Army's Qingyun voice had a strong flavor. The note on the last basket of eggs triggered some kind of PTSD in his DNA.

Click on the node, and what appears in front of you is a cell. However, compared to the single room in the hive prison, this place looks simple and narrow, and at this moment, the options appear in front of you——

[You were sent to a military court for murdering two Hongying nobles. After trial, you were sentenced to Qiu Jue. You get some quiet time before being taken to the Hive Prison. 】

"Haha, murder? Killing the enemy commander on the battlefield is called murder?"

Looking at the three options of [rest], [meditation], and [reading], Feng Xue only felt that it was very annoying.

However, he finally restrained his somewhat affected mental state and looked at the options with a "player" mentality.

[Training] and [Entertainment] in the last safe corner have disappeared, replaced by [Meditation] and [Reading]. Although they seem to be the same, if you think about it carefully, it seems a little different.

After thinking for a while, he still didn't choose the most boring rest, and ordered meditation which was closer to training.

[Even if you are in jail, you have not stopped improving yourself. You have improved during meditation, fantasy +5]

After looking at the 4 points of legacy added through the fourth level, and the 6 points of fantasy, I hope that this golden finger can replenish a store before the final node.

But he apparently forgot that as the fog dissipated, the third node on the fifth floor was an [unexpected encounter].

"Tsk." Feng Xue tskted slightly, but was not surprised. Judging from previous experience, the previous choice will affect the subsequent process. Now that it has gone to the military court, it is basically impossible to encounter any battles in the future. , let alone shops and so on. Instead of hoping for these, it is better to look forward to another [Longchang Enlightenment].

Clicking on the node, there was another set of fateful rhetoric, but this time, Feng Xue frowned, because he found that he was sitting in a very dark room.

There were no windows in the room, and the lights were deliberately dimmed. He was sitting on a sofa that was not too soft, and in front of him, separated by a coffee table, sat a person hiding in the shadows, whose gender could not even be determined. People who know too well.

Unlike previous encounters, no text popped up this time. Both parties remained silent. For a while, there was only the sound of slight breathing in the room.

At this moment, Feng Xue even thought it was the kind of battle node disguised as an unexpected encounter, but when he wanted to take action, he was trapped in the same place by the feeling as if he was trapped in amber.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere that seemed to be stuck did not last long, and the person in front of him finally spoke——

"Your matter has caused a big stir. Now there are protests all over the country. There is already the third large-scale demonstration in the capital."

"Is it useful?" Feng Xue did not speak, but a brief rhetorical question full of sarcasm came from his mouth.

The man in front of him shook his head and sighed:

"In a three-front battle, even if Hongying has the upper hand on the battlefield, we can't win it quickly. Those little turtles have already reached a private deal with Shinra. They think that as long as they can stabilize Hongying, they can focus on dealing with Star Ring... "

"That's enough nonsense. You come to see me, a dying person, for some other purpose, right?" Feng Xue spoke uncontrollably again. The man just shook his head and took out a small box to put it in. On the coffee table, he said:

"Our current situation is also very passive. If we can't end the battle as soon as possible, we can only be dragged to death. However, under the national public opinion, those cowardly turtles will probably compromise in the end and change the Autumn Battle to a reprieve, and then continue Let’s work it out…”

Listening to the man's words, Feng Xue felt more and more uncomfortable. Sure enough, at this moment, the body spoke again:

"I can't die, then what?"

"Nothing can be changed. It's time to surrender and surrender. It's time to cede territory. As for whether Star Ring can win the battle or not, what will it do after the battle... Haha."

The man spread his hands, but "Feng Xue" reached out and picked up the small box on the table——

"Are you sure this will work?"

"Maybe……"

"Maybe?"

"Maybe."

At this point, the screen suddenly darkened. Feng Xue did not make any choice. She just watched a CG from a first-person perspective. Then, a familiar settlement popped up——

[You got a poison pill (red)].
