Chapter 562 - 274: The Ending She Hoped For (Part 2)
After he finished reading all the serialized content, he had this feeling that she should meet her end on the battlefield, which aligns with the journey of her life. Starting with battle and ending on the battlefield... for someone who has spent their life in the heat of battle, what could be more lonely than dying a natural death on a bed, when all those around have departed? Such a death, it would be better not to have.
Su Jiameng didn’t answer their questions, but continued to say, "Actually, the story so far hasn’t even reached halfway..."
What follows is the biggest plot twist—meeting a comrade who was supposed to be dead. From initial joy to conflict, falling out, and eventually drawing weapons against each other... She would never forget, overnight turning from Major General Su to an Alliance traitor, the terror of being about to face a military court...
Fleeing in the rain at night, being chased down and blocked by former comrades leading a group of people. Thinking about that scene, she still remembers that hand gripping her neck, the suffocating feeling brought on by using all its strength... It was truly too pitiful to look at.
"The upcoming plot..." Su Jiameng thought about this and hesitated, because early on due to her pettiness, she intentionally weakened [Wu Su]’s presence, and there would be a long plot ahead involving this character, which was too abrupt, "there’s a divine plot twist, you know."
"Xiao Meng talked so much but still didn’t mention the ending..." Xu Na lamented, eyes wide open waiting for the conclusion!
"Well... the ending is that she uses telekinesis to detonate the mecha, bringing down the enemy with her..." Su Jiameng answered vaguely, not mentioning that the enemy wasn’t the Insect Race but an Alliance-dispatched pursuit unit... Clearly, this answer made K3 very pleased, he guessed it right.
Su Jiameng continued, "Then, she wakes from unconsciousness to find herself in a dark place, complete silence around her, like deathly stillness. She walks and walks, her vision gradually expands, and beside her is a river named River of Forgetfulness, not far away are blooming beautiful and soul-stealing red spider lilies, once familiar comrades appear one by one beside her, calling her name, a group of people chatting and laughing, talking about past life matters... and then together heading towards the final conclusion..."
This line popped out, and the K3 Team chat group fell into silence. Did they want to comment like a barrage of bullets? Clearly, it was a serious military story, so why does it end with a fantasy Xianxia feel? And still the River of Forgetfulness? Red spider lilies?
"Xiao Meng, I guarantee... with this ending, you’ll be roasted alive..." K3 hesitated, should this kind of ending really be told to the film company? It feels like the chances of it being cut are very high...
"I actually think it’s quite joyful..." Su Jiameng answered with a smile, "After all, it’s a comedic ending."
Xu Na said mercilessly, "Xiao Meng, did you forget to take your medicine today? Or did you take too much? Should you go to the hospital and see a doctor? Who told you this counts as a comedic ending? You say that, where do the people with genuinely comedic endings go to cry?"
Laughing by the River of Forgetfulness, speaking of past lives... Actually, Su Jiameng felt this kind of ending was quite good too, the concept of third lives and such... To be honest, it was tiring. If not for her two children, having trustworthy friends like K3 around, and having someone like Changxi Su Mo, who’s both family and friend, she wouldn’t know if she still had the motivation to keep going...
Feeling sentimental for a moment, Su Jiameng began to be pushed by Xu Na and the others to update her novel. Thankfully, her typing speed was as high as thirty or forty thousand words per hour, updating wasn’t a problem at all. Of course, by then the plot had already progressed to [Wu Su]’s appearance...
Gong Yulu heard the novel update alert, leisurely stopped her painting, on the table was an almost finished mecha design map. Opening the novel web page, sure enough as she expected, this segment was about "Su Jiameng" encountering a once presumed-dead comrade, the joy of meeting, the clash of differing opinions, and finally coming to blows, complete friendship breakdown!
[I was a puppet in someone else’s hand, following orders is my nature, whatever he tells me to do I will do, executing commands is my reason for living. I won’t change my decisions for anyone, nor change the orders he’s given me...] Before the break, [Wu Su] said this to [Su Jiameng], expressionless.
[Heh... Puppet? Executing orders, following orders? So, our so-called friendship was just a product of commands? Wu Su, is this your own will, or an order?]
Seeing this, Gong Yulu recalled Su Jiameng’s expression back then... er, wrong, someone wrapped in thick bandages, how could they have an expression? But those eyes, truly scary, like a volcano suppressed and about to erupt...
[Puppets don’t have their own will, orders are everything.]
After swiftly reading through the latest update, Gong Yulu’s smile was hard to maintain. She irritably wanted to close the web page, but keenly spotted another section... also relating to [Su Jiameng]’s internal thoughts in the novel.
Wu Su: [Our paths are different and cannot work together, you are loyal to your superior, I, of course, obey my master. If we were in agreement, there’d be no need to argue about this unnecessary stuff... The rescue mission cannot be executed!]
Yet Su Jiameng’s internal monologue at that time was, [I have never been loyal to anyone, as an Alliance warrior, the object of my loyalty is the Alliance, not any single person. In this world, who dares say they can represent the entire Alliance? You say you’re a puppet with no will of your own, then how do you have your own path?] (To be continued.
