Ark, they took my future seriously

【1. Turn around and leave. 】

【2. Push him against the wall. 】

Strange, why is Mudstone still sulking?

Obviously, he supported me in the last deduction.

It seems that we need to convince people with reason.

I have to choose 2 and let her know who is the king of the Mudrock Team.

[You pushed Mud Rock, who was not wearing armor, against the wall, and then spoke cheesy love words to her. Mud Rock felt your breath and became more shy. Her anger towards you also disappeared by a large margin. She gently let you loosen your arms.]

Oh, Boss Mudstone, it's too late.

If you don't agree today, this matter will not be over.

[You gently pinched Mudstone's chin, and he quickly fell under your attack. You two looked at each other affectionately and entered the cabin, enjoying spiritual pleasure together.]

[In November 1094, you led the team to the Ursus Snowfield. After entering the eastern part of Ursus, a traitor appeared in the team, and your whereabouts were reported to the Imperial Regular Army by the traitor within the Integration Movement. Although you found the traitor with abnormal behavior, it was too late, and the Imperial patrol had surrounded you.]

[You had a fierce battle with the Empire's patrol. In the battle, Mudstone tried to protect your escape and blocked the pursuers alone, but was killed by the Ursus patrol.]

[You have escaped the encirclement, what are you going to do next? ]

[1. Continue north to the Integration Movement Headquarters.]

【2. Plan an ambush for the patrol. 】

what?

My eldest daughter died?

Oh, you immortal, Ursus.

My eldest daughter is so adorable, how could you have the heart to do that to her?

The patrol killed my Sarkaz girl and they're trying to get away? This revenge must be avenged on the spot.

Carlo didn't care about gains and losses. He just deduced that if the eldest girl died, he would not live either.

[You organized the remaining team members to ambush the patrol team that was tracking you. Your initial surprise attack caused heavy losses to the patrol team, but soon the patrol team's reinforcements arrived, they captured you and tortured you severely.]

【Will you tell us what you know? 】

Tell your mother, you're going to get out of this dog empire.

【You died during interrogation.】

【The deduction is over. Please choose your reward.】

"Don't ask, I want ability."

There is no choice in terms of memories and abilities this time. Last time Carlo asked for memories, and this time he decided to try abilities.

Carlo quickly chose the answer.

On the other side, Tallulah was stunned when she learned that Carlo and his group had an accident.

"What's going on? Carlo died again?" Tallulah was so sad that she had no tears left.

She had hoped that Carlo could provide her with some help, but she didn't expect him to die like this.

However, Tallulah respected Carlo's character. He did not reveal any information even under the torture of the empire. He was a true warrior.

Chapter 6: Every time the empire kills me, I will destroy its country.

late at night.

Mudstone, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, suddenly opened her eyes. She grabbed the sledgehammer beside her and shouted, "Carlo, run."

"Boss, what happened?" The team member in charge of standing guard late at night immediately ran to the outside of Niyan's tent after hearing Niyan's shout.

here it is?

Mudstone opened the tent curtain and looked at the endless wasteland in confusion.

We are still in camp.

Was what just happened a dream?

Mudstone had just participated in some kind of deduction in her dream, which she performed twice in total. The first time, she could only choose skills.

The second time she could only choose memory. After choosing memory, a huge amount of memories flooded into her brain like waves. Those memories were so real as if she had experienced them personally.

This is also why she shouted to Carlo to run away the moment she woke up, because the end point of her memory was on a battlefield, and she couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams for a moment.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" The team member on guard asked curiously when he saw that Niyan looked like he was about to fight.

"I seemed to have had a nightmare just now, but that dream was a little too real." Mudstone rubbed his forehead.

"Boss, what's the dream?"

"Yes..." Just as Niyan was about to briefly talk about her experience in her dream, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

[This deduction system really exists, Ms. Mudstone. This system must remind you that you are a user invited to participate in the deduction. If you reveal the existence of this system to the outside world, this system will revoke your deduction qualification and take back all rewards. ]

"What!" After hearing the system's voice, Mudstone was stunned.

"Boss?"

"It's nothing, just a dream. You go back and stand guard." Mudstone did not explain too much to others. After throwing the hammer to the ground, she hurried towards Carlo's tent.

Since this system really exists, does that mean that in the future I will be pinned against the wall by Carlo and have to listen to his disgusting words?

Could Carlo really say things like, "Don't take advantage of the fact that I love you to do whatever you want?" and "Your eyes are so beautiful, they're only big enough for me."?

Mudstone's legs went weak just thinking about the sweet words Carlo had said to her.

Not to mention that in her memory, she had spent several nights with Carlo.

"No, no, we can't think about these things. What we need to do now is to make Carlo give up the idea of ​​finding the Integration Movement." Mudstone covered his flushed old face and shook his head frantically.

Soon, Mudstone came to Carlo's tent. Carlo was sleeping at this time, and Mudstone could hear Carlo's regular breathing through the tent.

"Oh no, I was so focused on trying to persuade Carlo not to join the Integration Movement that I forgot it was late at night."

Mudstone looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky, and then he realized that he had forgotten the time in his panic.

Secretly peeking at the crack of the tent, Mudstone glanced at the sleeping Carlo and thought:

"Is that person in the simulation really you? I didn't expect you to have such a violent side. I'll test you tomorrow. But I'll let you go today. We still have a lot of time to spend together anyway."

After Mudstone left quietly, Carlo opened his eyes.

"Strange, why did Mudstone come to see me in the middle of the night?"

"Forget it, let's not think about this for now. System, you haven't reset it yet, okay?"

……

【Alina was killed by the mob.】

[Your consciousness was taken over by the black snake.]

[Black Snake manipulated you to lead the Qiecheng Incident.]

[Chen Huijie and Amiya defeated the black snake, and you regained control of this body.]

……

【You died of a severe case of oripathy.】

After Carlo's death, Tallulah continued to deduce.

But the outcome this time was even worse than the last time.

The last time the Integration Movement fought with the Imperial Army on their way south, all members died in the battle.

This time, the Integration Movement was used by Black Snake, causing most of its personnel to die in vain in Chernobyl and become Black Snake's pawns.

Although Tallulah continued to work hard to help the infected in the decade after regaining consciousness, she was never able to form a new integration movement.

On the contrary, many former members of the Integration Movement came looking for revenge on her, causing her to run around in a hurry for the last ten years or so.

[The deduction is over. 】

[Please select a reward. 】

[1. Skills obtained in this deduction (not optional)]

【2. Memory of this deduction. 】

[Do you want to obtain the memory of this deduction? ]

Tallulah chose yes.

More than a decade of memories flooded into Tallulah's brain, from Alina being killed because of a little fruit, to Frost Star, the death of the Patriot, and the memory of Chen and Amiya defeating her in the core city of Che City, all of them flooded into her brain as if she had experienced them herself.

Tallulah, who had grown up more than ten years in an instant, had a look in her eyes that became more resolute than before.

"…Black Snake is Koschei. He took advantage of me and the infected. I was too naive in the past."

Tallulah summed up the reasons for her past failures.

Apart from being too naive, she doesn't rely on others.

Usually, the only person who can communicate with her in depth is Alina, which causes her thinking to easily become stuck in a dead end, giving Black Snake an opportunity to defeat her.

This time she will rely more on the power of her companions and the efforts of everyone to create a different future.

"Koschei, I won't lose this time. I will use this deduction device to find a way to defeat you."

"Time waits for no one, keep on trying."

……

The simulation system has been reset. Do you want to start the simulation?

The moment Carlo received the system prompt, he sat up from the mat.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Damn Empire, just wait for me. If I don't rub all your hair off this time, my name will be written backwards."

Carlo still remembered the last time the Empire killed Mudstone and tortured him.

Although this is just a deduction and is all false, it is precisely because it is false that Carlo wants to vent his anger.

If you, the Ursus Empire, kill me once, I will destroy your country once. This is called reciprocity.

[Your team is now facing a dilemma. In front of you is the lack of understanding of Ursus, and behind you is the pursuit of Regent Tresis. Sitting and waiting for death is not a good idea. You must make a decision in advance.]

[Should we lead the team into Ursus, or stay in Kazdel? ]

This time Carlo wanted to do something outrageous.

To avoid the situation where Mudstone died because of himself last time.

This time, Carlo chose to leave without saying goodbye, leaving the Mudrock Team and walking into the snowfield alone.

Chapter 7: Tallulah Learns Dragon Slaying

It is extremely dangerous to go to the Integration Movement. I died the first time, and both I and Mudstone died the second time.

In reality, Carlo is no longer planning to lead the Mudstone Squad to join the Reunion Movement.

But deduction is virtual after all, so Carlo wants to realize his dream before deducing other places, that is, to rebel against Ursus.

Ever since Carlo first came into contact with the Arknights in his previous life, he has been disgusted with Ursus, a backward, barbaric country full of oppression and exploitation.

The reason why he chose the Integration Movement in the first two simulations was actually because he hoped in his heart that the Integration Movement could turn Ursus upside down.

But he was careless during the two deductions, which led to Tallulah's suspicion of him. The second time Mudstone was killed, he had to end the deduction early.

So this time, Carlo chose to leave without saying goodbye, in order to protect the Mudstone Team and to let Tallulah relax her vigilance against him being alone.

What's more, without the worry of Mudstone, he could do even more lawless things with Tallulah.

This can be considered as an indulgence before ending the integrated deduction line. You have to know that after more than a year of relationship with Mudstone, it is impossible for Carlo to remain indifferent to the fact that Mudstone died because of him, even if it is just a deduction.

Back to the deduction.

Carlo used the memory gained from the first deduction and headed north, finding the location of the Reunion headquarters in less than a month.

This time Carlo had no intention of keeping a low profile. As soon as he found the Tallulah settlement, he spoke extremely arrogantly to the warriors on guard:
