“I would also like to join Mr. Fujisaki’s group..” Mao smiled at Suyin. “But I suppose if you’d rather be with your sister, I can join Monk’s team.”


"She's not my sister." Suyin replied. "So no, I don't mind if you join us. The more the merrier, and all of that crap."

"I guess that means that Zhang and Taikong are joining Monk then. So now we just need X to decide where she wants to go."


Zhang rolls her eyes "You are utterly ridiculous sister but that's nothing new. This 'first-come, first-served rule' is ridiculous as well, obviously some of us have a vested interest in going with others." she glared at Mao for taking the spot she so dearly wanted.

"As much as I'd like to accompany my sister and catch up, it seems I'm left little choice." she sighed and looked to Fujimaki "My sister may be a big-headed troublemaker but I doubt she's a murderer." she shook her head and extended a finger counting each of her flaws "Ambitious, petty, outspoken, but not likely to have killed anyone, at least not that I've heard." she tutted before turning to Monk "I will be accompanying you for this next venture."

Mei groans, running a hand through her hair. She evidently did not want to do this. Regardless, she takes a good look at Amethyst and the doctor. An inquisitive look, even. A few seconds later, she shrugs lightly. "I guess if we have to do this, you two aren't the worst for the job."

Then, she glances back to Uwem after he mentions her name and the medic rolls her eyes. "Don't think the old days involved a fucking murder game, doctor..."

“If you wish to go with your sister then I will step out of the way.” Mao offered, confused at the glare. “I have been on the battlefield with Private Sun before and can equally put my trust in him.”

Zhang smiled graciously at Mao "Why thank you General, you are clearly a man of honour and integrity. If Yang is willing to allow this then I'd be happy to take your place." Her eyes flickered to Suyin "We certainly have some catching up to do after all."

"Well, I guess this is out of my hands in any case, huh?" Monk cracked a smile. He didn't seem to mind the fact that his decisions had already been made for him. "I'm glad our X-tra player decided to grace our group with her presence, at least", he cackled, still finding the joke funny. "So I guess if that cat allows it, the other two are gonna be you funny birds!" He looked at the general and Taikong. "Nice, isn't it? Though I wouldn't mind being with the woman either", he gestured to Zhang. "Either way, with four of us in here, I'm feeling pretty confident right now! Let's see what we can find in there, yeah?" He tipped his hat coolly.

Sun Taikong looked forlorn about having to separate from Mei, but he quickly put on a determined expression when General Mao said his name. "I'll do my best, sir!" he said, saluting. "It might be useful to split us up though, if it means we have military presence in more of the rooms. Did you have a specific reason for considering the Rooster room, sir?"

"Suyin is my wife." Mao stated simply. "It felt strange to bring it up earlier, so I didn't."

He turned to Zhang. "Still, I've been hoping you two could reconcile for some time. And if you have half the intensity for her as you do for that boy, I trust that you can keep her protected as well as any military soldier."

"Married, huh?" Monk's eyes lit up. "Interesting... so we have a couple here. How nice." He smirked. "So do you recognise Zhang as your sister-in-law, general? Would help clear that up."

"It's been ages since I've seen her, but yes Juanli is my sister-in-law." Mao admitted it almost reluctantly, as if saying it would cast his wife in a bad light. "I believe it's been some time since they've seen each other as well."

"A General and a high-ranking politician are married... color me surprised." Mei mumbles to herself, before looking up towards Mao. "Why does Suyin deny it so fucking fervently, then? Bad blood between all of you or what?"

"Ah, I understand, sir," Sun Taikong said respectfully, before pausing to run the numbers in his head. "I suppose there's no way to get the three of you in one room. It sounds like you've come to an agreement, though."

He turned to Monk and X. "Our room's going to have a bit of an eclectic group, it seems! Let's all try to get along, though."

"Of course, of course!" Monk tipped his hat, attempting to give a friendly smile. "I don't get many opportunities to know people so well, usually. Maybe it's because of the looks. But hopefully we'll all be buddy-buddy with each other by the end of this nightmare, yeah?" He guffawed, lighting up another cigarette.

Zhang raised an eyebrow giving Mao a scrutinising look "Well? My brother-in-law? Pity I wasn't invited to the wedding. I had no knowledge of your existence." she looked towards Suyin. "If she is in politics she probably wants to distance herself from her unruly past which could be why she'd disavow knowing me. If you ARE in politics then you are probably the reason me and Sunny have been dragged here from our content little life." Zhang shook her head in disapproval

"But no matter. Thank you General, I wish you a fortunate venture."

“If it’s not your place, then you shouldn’t have even said anything to begin with.” Suyin muttered angrily, clearly displeased at these revelations.

Having made their decisions, the group split up and spread throughout the facility.

Horse: Mei, Amethyst, Amandi
Rooster: Fujisaki, Suyin, Juanli
Pig: Monk, Taikong, Mao, X

—————

Monk’s group didn’t have to travel far. The small tent was right there in the corner of the grand hall, standing out quite a bit against the regal scenery. Monk scanned his bracelet by the tent flaps, unlocking them (don’t think about it).

Behind it was a Meridian Gate. The group stepped through one at a time and then checked their bracelets. Their points were down to [4].

They took their first look at the tent. A large table in the center was covered in maps and sketches of enemy territory…

—————

Mei’s group entered one of the adjacent hallways and quickly found the door marked with [马]. Mei scanned her bracelet, causing the doors to swing open. The group saw a large, clinical room with hospital beds packed in every corner.

As the group stepped through the Meridian Gate, their points decreased as well…

—————

Fujisaki’s group had their progress blocked by the Meridian Gate they’d already stepped through. They cautiously entered and checked their bracelets. They’d gone down to 4, as expected.

They rushed back to the Dungeon, which was still in the horrendous state they’d left it in. Fujisaki sprinted down the hallway to the [鸡] door and scanned his bracelet. The doors swung open, revealing a pristine tiled room. Fortunately, there was no Meridian Gate. The group continued inside…

Secret File Discovered in the War Room!

Spoiler: Side 1
Humans like to make plans. They seem to believe that knowing and preparing for the future will allow them to control it. But premonitions are not all that they are cracked up to be. Knowing the future only causes us to be consumed by it.

The world is chaotic, and it is unfair. It takes your plans and grinds them to dust beneath its boots. This is a fairly simple concept that humans often fail to grasp. From conception they are expected to plan for their future, despite the same whims of fate bringing them toward either the garden or the grave.

For some, knowing what is to come brings comfort by removing uncertainty, though I believe those who learned the future would wish they could forget it. They would miss the spontaneity and the hope of something grander than they expect to get.

That is the life I lead. To have your expectations constantly met is a dreadful thing. They wonder why I am not frightened when the bombs fall on the city, but why should I be? There’s no use in getting emotional when the world lays its secrets before me.

Humans have dreams. They believe they are exceptional. They go to wars over who is more exceptional on the hope that they will win. If anyone knew how painfully predictable their life was, they would give up trying. The smallest animals make themselves appear larger so as not to shrivel away.

I have seen the future. I know all that awaits is pain, destruction, and death. The road of fate is clear, and it is terribly dull.

Where is my excitement and adventure? When will I feel something?

--On the subject of NG6 connections, NGX originally featured a group of vigilante terrorists called the Mad Jacks, who were inspired to begin operating by Serial Killer X. Most of the members of that group remain in the cast in some form.
--Serial Killer X's completely unremarkable victim Bob Bentley also had a vague role in the game—or at least, his great uncle did. This character was a judge by the name of Gerald Bentley, and he eventually became General Mao Delan.
--Sun Taikong also existed in this old game, though he was a veteran police officer and a friend of K-9. Unfortunately, in moving over to China he lost his high-ranking position, which is really embarrassing honestly.
--More interesting was his subordinate in the police force Annabelle Bennett, who was intended to return. Obviously, this character couldn't exist in a more independent game. She eventually morphed into Suyin, though the two have very little in common now.

Secret File Discovered in the Clinic!

Spoiler: Side 1
Though people would call me insane, I don’t understand the purpose of doctors. We look on them favorably. We call them heroes, and we pay them massive amounts of money to take massive amounts of ours. But what do they do, exactly?

They save lives. Save them from what? From death, that unholy arbiter that waits at our door. But by saving our lives, doctors only prolong the inevitable. We live only so that we may die later.

They heal the wounded. But what do the wounded get in return? Another chance to charge up the hill where they were blown away in the first place? It’s just an endless cycle. The doctors on the battlefield fighting their own tireless battles to keep the same old soldiers fighting endlessly.

They fix the broken. Are we tools that need to be fixed, only kept alive so we may perform the tasks assigned to us? What makes us broken? Obviously a human that fails to live is defective, but what of a human who fails to act as they are expected to? Who gives anyone the right to decide someone else is broken?

I am sick of the way they gawk at me. They have decided that I am broken, yet they can find nothing wrong with me. They search desperately for answers while asking the wrong questions. Only because of their failures am I more valuable to them than the next broken body.

In the end, we save lives only to prevent grief in a small population of humans. But no one will grieve for me. No one is waiting for me to be fixed.

That is something not even the most competent doctors seem capable of solving.


Spoiler: Side 2
--The original draft of NGX was much more traditional, featuring a single timeline and individual powers and win conditions.
--The game would have also featured numeric bracelets, digital roots, and codenames. The cast still had ten people, so one of the characters would have an [X] Bracelet they could change to any other number.
--Most of the characters in this game existed in some form in the original draft, though many of the approximations are much more vague than others. Below is what bracelet number each character would have had (Sunny had no bracelet number).
--1. Fujisaki, 2. Taikong, 3. Amandi, 4. Suyin, 5. Mei, 6. Amethyst, 7. Juanli, 8. Mao, 9. Monk, X. Patient X
--Codename suggestions included Ghost for Juanli, Stitch for Monk, Feldspar for Amethyst, Itchy for Fujisaki, and X for X.

Spoiler: Side 1
When you compare the kindest saint and the cruelest sinner, where does the difference lie? What about the everyman and the dictator? The Chinese and the Americans? Are we not all built from the same elements?

Some humans believe we are born evil. By believing morality can not be changed, they punish those who make poor choices and become evil themselves. Some believe evil comes from circumstances. They often fail to realize that they are admit they would commit gruesome crimes under a different birthright.

Sometimes it takes only one man to spoil a whole batch of humans. Humans act out of fear or reverence, creating a mass of destruction that not even they can contain. Other humans recoil in horror, not asking if they would have acted any differently in that situation, or perhaps they are simply unwilling to confront the darkness at their core.

They say absolute power corrupts, yet humans are quick to trust others with such power. They actively wait for someone to radicalize them, so they may avoid tackling difficult questions themselves. It is easier to believe a simple lie than to contemplate the truth.

I heard a story about students who became guards and prisoners, adapting quickly to their roles as if becoming new people. The study itself does not concern me; it is the expected outcome when the experimenter puts themselves in the experiment. What bothers me is that this was a question that even needed to be asked at all.

I don’t believe in leaders myself. Apparently, this is problematic. However, our leaders believe they have the right to decide who lives and who dies, and that is the deepest insanity of all.


Spoiler: Side 2
--Fujisaki is quite the complicated character. In the earliest drafts on NGX, he was something of a "Ninth Man" who would get murdered early into the game to cause drama.
--Because his role was not particularly large, the author asked an entity named Lone to choose his name. Part of that name still remains.
--Even after becoming a full character, Fujisaki remained prone to death. Rather than merely having most of his points drained in the original branch choice, he would instead be killed. This idea sound incredibly stupid, but trust me: it was only mildly stupid.
--Fortunately, the author came to their senses and kept Fujisaki around in all timelines to develop him more fully.

Everyone meets up outside of the Horse door.

“What happened?” Taikong asks. “Why are we all meeting up over here?”

“And why is Suyin completely drenched...” Mei mumbles.

Let’s start by going over everything that happened in the rooms and what we found,” Amandi says, “I believe there is a lot to discuss. It seems that the Gifting Phase Will begin soon afterwards as well…”

“You’d better make it quick though,” Sunny says, “The weird timer in here just hit the 3-hour mark!”

[The Clinic group may freely pass through the Meridian Gate in their room. However, the others should remain outside. Phase change will likely occur tomorrow.]

Mei rubs her eyes pretty hard, probably to stay awake or similiar. She takes a good look at the other participants as she leans on a wall, before deciding that she'd probably have to talk first. "Amethyst's in the clinic room because she was shot by a fucking key. She should be waking up by now. We found some files on some stupid 'morphogenetic field theory' or whatever it's called. There was also a record of injured patients from the Stadium explosion. That should be about it..."

The medic eyes Suyin warily as she scratches her right forearm idly.

Monk gave Suyin a confused look, before clearing his throat. "Er, right, our rooms. In the tent was this sort of war room. We did some investigation in there and found some stuff. Mao's journal was in there with the most recent entry describing some bombing and evacuation. There was some scientific journal there by some... Albert Blaketon, was it? I wasn't able to entirely understand it but apparently he managed to figure out how to read the human brain as data. I'm sure the young lad will be able to tell you more", he gestured to Sun.

"Otherwise, there was an American newspaper which had an article about the war, claiming that the Chinese were losing ground and that we'd clench it within the year. Hard to believe, obviously", he laughed. "At the end of the room, we found three things. The first was this flash drive, clearly meant for some computer. Most likely the one in Amethyst's cell earlier. The second was the stage plans for the Bird's Nest Stadium from four years ago. Think Mao mentioned his stage was swapped so he could see his wife or something, whatever."

"The important part is we discovered a red envelope, though!" He smiled. "So there's some progress, at least. That's about it... I think. How about the rest of ya?"

"Nevermind all that!" Zhang shouted supporting her sister over to Mao where she let him take over. "HE just doused my sister in boiling water." she cried pointing an accusing finger at Fujisaki.

"We were presented with a choice, he'd have to push buttons to douse boiling water in one of three stalls. Two of them held Suyin and me, the third was empty, yet he chose to scald Suyin!" she turned to look at her sister and Mei and uttered "Please, make sure she's alright."

She turned back to face Fujisaki brandishing a large sledgehammer "Why if I hadn't broken both of us out then she might have died in there! Why! Why did you push Suyin's button instead of the empty stall?"

"You found information about the Field too, Mei?" Sun Taikong said in surprise, before nodding at Monk's request. "Our book talked about some mad theory for turning people's minds into data and uploading them into artificial bodies, homunculi. It also covered the 'Morphogenetic Field' more generally," he explained, before giving a detailed explanation for anyone who needed a crash course on basic Morphogenetic Field theory. "Mad, I tell you, but that's twice it's come up, so it wouldn't surprise me if the third room contained something on it too."

He shrugged, before going into detail about a few of the things they'd found. "The newspaper Monk mentioned talked about how the American ambassador, Benedict Clarkson, was a 'martyr' who'd been corrupted by us and then disposed of. I suppose the bias is unsurprising, but still kinda sad. As for the stadium plans, Monk kept hold of them. Who knows when a map could come in useful! Though the plans are outdated now, so I'm not sure what they'd be good for exactly."

He considered what else he could add, but then Juanli spoke up, and he looked over to Fujisaki with a shocked expression.

Mei seemingly jumps awake a little as Zhang looked to her. Nodding, she makes her way towards Suyin, taking a quick look at the woman while taking her medical bag off her own back. "Are you okay? In pain?"

“What the hell are you talking about?!” Fujisaki snapped. “I had no damned choice! I didn’t want to hurt any of you!”

Fujisaki takes a few deep breaths, though he was clenching his first. “One of you would’ve been hurt. It was a twisted game. I chose on a whim. We’re fortunate nobody was trapped for long.”

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Suyin yelled at Fujisaki. "You could've easily chose the button to hurt no one! You like burning women, huh? You one of those fucking murderers Yang was talking about?!"

"Nevermind all that!" Zhang shouted supporting her sister over to Mao where she let him take over. "HE just doused my sister in boiling water." she cried pointing an accusing finger at Fujisaki.

She turned back to face Fujisaki brandishing a large sledgehammer "Why if I hadn't broken both of us out then she might have died in there! Why! Why did you push Suyin's button instead of the empty stall?"


"...Thank you, Juanli." She said, before turning her attention to Mei.

"I'll live. But I am in a lot of pain at the moment."

Mao suppressed every initial instinct to tear Fujisaki apart with his hands, instead trying to examine Suyin’s burns as well as he could manage. He whispered words of comfort in her ear, trying to manage things without getting in Mei’s way.

“Tell me what I need to do.” He desperately asked the medic. The rooster’s demise would have to wait.

"What's going on here...?" Amethyst walked out of the horse room with a noticeable wince whenever she stepped with her bandaged up leg. "Hey, what did you get out of my leg anyways? Hurt like hell..."

"I-I'm sure Mr. Fujisaki would choose the option to not hurt anyone if possible! There must be an explanation for this, I don't think he's a bad guy that wanted to hurt you on purpose, miss Suyin...!"

Mei's glance flickers from Suyin to the clinic, then back to Suyin. After a short pause, she says, "I- I'll be back in a moment. I'll check the clinic for anything to help with that." As Mao approaches the two, she shakes her head. "I need... some things first. Don't touch the burns."

She sets off immediately after, skipping into the clinic.

Monk gave Fujisaki an extremely suspicious glare. "I knew already there was something off about you... But you're willing to hurt that woman for no reason, huh? We already know she was happy to go with you, anyway. So why betray that trust? Maybe there's something between you two we don't know about."

He folded his arms. "Rest assured, buddy, I've had my eye on you. And I'm not about to take it off, either. You got anything to confess to us, you best tell us now."

Sun Taikong was yet to be convinced. It looked like he wanted to jump to Fujisaki's defence, yet was also very worried that the man might really have just done something awful.

"What Mei said is true of our room. It was a clinic, one that Mei recognizes as the place where she have to performs operations." Dr. Uwem explains. "And it is true that Amethyst was shot by a key... I still find it hard to believe one would get injured by a key..."

The doctor produces the key from one of his lab coat pockets. It was a large, iron key. Its head is decorated with the character of the Monkey. It seems like the key got some blood on it from having been stuck inside Amethyst's leg.

"And the list of the bombing victims... One of them was a Zhang Juanil, and it's obivous what injuries she sustained in the incident..." He said as he glances over at Zhang. "However... There was a name that was circled for some reason... Li An. I don't know who that is. So, maybe one of you might know who Li An is."
