"Now, I will give the right to choose to all of you. Faced with this situation, what would you choose?"
"Will we stick to our original plan, using soft padding to build a nest for the little Harmonious Dove on the spot?"
"Or will we choose to build a cage for it, carefully raising the bird in a warm house?"
At this moment,
in the game's plot.
On the large screens composed of televisions.
Was the little Harmonious Dove that appeared in the previous plot.
As Sunday's words fell.
Two choices were presented before everyone.
The Reverie Hotel Lobby.
Sunday slightly narrowed his eyes.
Observing every move of the guests present.
The reactions of these players were naturally very important to him.
And the scene was in an uproar at this moment!
Many players were enthusiastically discussing which outcome would be better.
"I choose to build a cage for the little Harmonious Dove! It has to survive first to have any future possibilities."
"I choose to keep it in captivity, but I want to use a larger natural area as the cage."
"I choose to heal the bird and release it back into the wild!"
"First, protect and raise it, then conduct wild training, and finally release it back into nature. This is the most complete process for animal protection!"
"Are these the only two options?"
"By the way, has anyone asked the bird for its opinion?"
In the live broadcast room.
Little Gui was also in a dilemma at this moment.
She knew that her live broadcast was being watched by many people.
So she was extremely cautious when making such a choice.
First, she consulted the opinions of Himeko, March 7th, and Firefly.
In the end, all three chose to build a cage.
Little Gui naturally chose this option as well.
Sunday began to reveal the fate of this choice.
"...Finally, on the 137th attempt, it succeeded. But this attempt was not perfect... After flying unsteadily for a while, it crashed to the ground, unable to accurately grasp the flow of the air."
"This fall completely broke its wings. It struggled desperately in my arms, but to no avail, ultimately meeting a painful death. And all our careful nurturing, the love and high hopes we had placed in it, became the very things that led to its demise in that moment."
"For the choices we made... I deeply regret them. Next, let us move on to the second decision. This time... it's the story of a dream chaser."
Sunday began to describe the second decision.
All the guests at the scene were attentively focused on the issue at hand.
Everyone knew.
These decisions were crucial!
They had to be chosen with utmost care and seriousness!
However.
At this moment.
On the Astral Express.
Watching Sunday describe the second decision.
Himeko and Old Yang both wore peculiar expressions on their faces.
Sunday: "Would you make the same decision as I did, persuading the Bloodhound Family to cease their search, so that the dream chaser could survive and fulfill his wish?"
"Or would you remain silent, allowing him to struggle on under the Bloodhound's pursuit until the inevitable judgment arrives?"
"I look forward to your choices, which might just turn that tragedy around."
After seeing the description of the problem.
Himeko didn't immediately weigh the pros and cons or analyze which possibility was better.
Instead, she said, "Something's off, this feels strange."
"The description of the problem carries a suggestive outcome."
"No matter which option we choose, it seems like it's all part of his prearranged plan..."
Old Yang also spoke up, "I just tested it on my own account."
"Even if I choose [to build a nest for the little Harmonious Dove with soft padding in place], it still ends in regret."
"And this time, it seems to be the same."
"No matter which option we ultimately choose, the ending is always regretful."
Meanwhile, in the live stream.
After reaching a regretful outcome earlier.
Little Gui thought it was her fault.
This time, she became even more cautious, hesitating for several minutes.
Himeko watched Little Gui, who was sweating profusely in the live stream.
Suddenly, a look of realization flashed in her eyes.
"So... that's how it is."
"Sunday appears to give us the right to choose, but in reality... the moment we start making a choice, he has already stripped us of our freedom to choose!"
As soon as Himeko spoke.
March 7th and Stelle both showed a look of understanding.
"So that's it!!"
"I knew something felt off!"
"I almost got tangled up in Sunday's plot!"
March 7th put her hands on her hips, looking full of confidence.
"Why do I have to choose from the options you gave?"
"Why can I only choose between Mung Bean Soda and SoulGlad? Why can't I choose Immortal's Delight?"
"Did you even give me the right to choose anything else!"
...
In the live stream.
After careful consideration.
Little Gui still chose [to persuade the Bloodhound to stop the chase].
Yet, the final outcome was still unsatisfactory.
Sunday once again expressed deep regret.
Guinaifen licked her lips.
Wiped the sweat from her forehead, and sighed, "What's going on? Did I really not make a single correct choice?"
"It's all tragedy, folks!"
"This is bad... I'm even starting to feel a bit guilty!"
...
"Sweating bullets, huh, kid."
"It's okay, Little Gui, we're just playing a game here, not making real-life decisions."
"Is it really that different? Every move Little Gui makes is being watched by players across the galaxy... If she makes any wrong choices, she might end up trending on social media tomorrow."
"I tried it on my own account, both endings are wrong!"
"Damn it, there's no right answer at all!"
"What is Sunday trying to prove with all this?"
"My head itches, feels like I'm growing a brain..."
"Stop asking, stop asking! Why don't you just take action already!"
...
Soon.
Sunday's third question, and the final one, arrived as scheduled.
On the big screen.
It was a flashback of Sunday looking furious.
Sunday: "According to the contents of the letter... it should be Caspelinyat, right? She's touring there..."
Dreammaster: "Correct. Did she mention being hit by a stray bullet?"
"A stray bullet? What..." Sunday was in disbelief.
The Dreammaster spoke, "War broke out on that planet. That's precisely why Robin chose it as her destination... To spread the teachings of Harmony and save lives on the planet, she personally went to the front lines."
"She hoped to soothe people's pain with her songs and was willing to use her own flesh and blood to provide cover for the delivery of the company's relief supplies... Unfortunately, stray bullets are merciless."
"By the Aeon's grace, the bullet struck her neck directly... Yet, perhaps as a reward for her daily acts of kindness in the name of Harmony, it did not hit a vital artery. It would be best if you could reply to her as soon as you finish dealing with your trivial matters."
...
"What??
"Holy crap! Something like this actually happened?"
"Robin is such a strong woman."
"She's not just a star admired across the galaxy, but a truly respectable figure of Harmony!"
"Robin truly leads by example! Unlike some celebrities who only engage in marketing to gild their own image!"
"No regrets in this life being a fan of Little Bird!"
"This is the kind of idol we should be following!"
"Robin is a truly great artist!"
"If I were Brother Sunday, hearing this would make my blood run cold!"
