Crossover to brush favorability [Comprehensive Movie + End Times]

Where am I now... Li Lei looked at the darkness in front of him in a daze, feeling as if his soul was bound to someone else's body...

In the distance, a black figure suddenly appeared in "my" field of vision.The figure in the dark is blurry, but only the M60 in his hand is particularly clear.

"Brother whom I haven't seen for many years, you really let me down..." Soi Ying aimed the submachine gun at "myself", with disappointment that could not be concealed in his tone.

"I" seemed to be very pleasantly surprised by the person who appeared, he hugged the black shadow's leg in some pain, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Brother, you also know what I faced back then! Don't you even want to criticize me? ?!"

"You used to be a soldier, but now you are a deserter!" Soi Ying's voice was decisive and resolute, but it sounded very familiar.

"Myself" seemed to be shocked by these words, and wept bitterly: "Brother...you also know mom and dad...how can I...how can I... Anyway, the last task has been completed... "

"No, I'm not scolding you, I'm saving you..." The cold tip of the gun touched "myself" between the eyebrows, and as the black shadow's hoarse and slightly sighing voice fell, there was a sound in the space. There was a loud bang.

"boom!"

"Ah—" Li Lei was startled by the gunshot and sat up. After looking around, he realized that everything was just another dream.

Breathing in the fresh air heavily, the sticky cold sweat on Li Lei's body and the air he kept sucking into his lungs proved that he was still alive.That dream was so clear, so clear that Li Lei thought he had returned to that time...

...the moment before he died.

"You're having a nightmare again." Suddenly, a whisper came from Li Lei's ear, and he turned his head reflexively, it was Steven.His body was covered with a layer of white moonlight, and his pale golden hair looked extremely soft. "This is the fourth time. You have been in the army for seven days and seven nights, and almost half of the time is spent in nightmares."

"Yeah, nearly half..." Li Lei chewed on this time lightly, shaking his head helplessly.After all, he is a person who died once, and the shadow of the past is still inescapable.

But even though he was killed by his brother himself, Li Lei had no half-dead hatred for his brother at all.Yes, there is only self-blame for running away, and fear of the battlefield.

In fact, Li Lei still doesn't understand why his elder brother shot so decisively at that time.He must have been disappointed in himself, disappointed to have such a useless younger brother, disappointed to become a deserter's elder brother.Maybe, he didn't get punished much in his department anyway.Li Lei thought so, after all, he is also his only relative.Since his parents died at the age of three, Li Lei was brought up in the military camp to eat a variety of meals. Later, in the military academy, the military camp, and the final battlefield, his brother was the only person he could miss.

The bright moonlight sprinkled the entire barracks, and the sweat on Li Lei's body shone like a dream under the moonlight.Steven was a little unwilling to let Li Lei part ways with him like this, but even Agent Carter, Instructor Ignaz, General Phillips, and Dr. Abraham couldn't persuade him, so what could he do.

Suddenly, Steven sat up. He hesitated for a while, and said to Li Lei with some stumbles: "Can you tell me? About your nightmare, I think...it must be related to your daytime or even at the expense of talking to Phillips." The general had a big fight, so he must leave the barracks."

It wasn't just a big fight, Li Lei almost forced him to death.When the results were announced tonight, everyone was shocked—even though Li Lei was not selected as a member of the super soldier project, everyone could see that he was an excellent soldier.Even General Phillips has never seen a soldier with such excellent training performance as Li Lei in most of his military career.But such a person actually refused to become a member of the military camp, which disappointed everyone.

In the barracks at the moment, there were only Li Lei and Steven—the other ten had already selected their regiments and officially devoted themselves to their military careers.Only Steven, the "experiment" of tomorrow, and Li Lei, who would rather die than join the army, stayed in this barracks.

"Forget it, there's nothing to talk about, it's just a dark history." Li Lei shook his head and lay down again, but suddenly found that he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Seeing this, Steven also lay down, as if muttering to himself:

"You know, how much I wanted to enter the military camp at the beginning-to be honest, I also knew that I was not this material. Many people thought I was not good enough, even my good brother Bucky thought so. He once and I said that what a soldier has to face is not a fight, but a war. He persuaded me not to try to be a soldier-you know, before this time, I have received five 4F Waiting for the lowest level) list, changed to five different places to enlist in the army, but all failed.”

Speaking of this, Steven sighed, and suddenly laughed twice: "You don't know where I'm from, do you? The last time I told you that I was from Queens was actually to prevent disclosure. You know, every time I Every time I have to make up a new place to fill out the military list, it's unbearable. My hometown is Brooklyn, and it's a very chaotic area...how to say, you can see fights, fights, gambling on the road , or even find any dark alley, you can see the black people who come out for sale in broad daylight...what the hell."

He raised his head and looked at Li Lei expectantly, and found that he was not fully asleep, so he was relieved and continued: "That's why I hate bullies so much—no matter where they come from. I always feel that if How nice it would be for these bullies to use their power for good."

Steven held up his hands, weak as ever, even now.But at least, now Steven has a chance to become stronger: "I was thinking at that time, if I have strong power, I must stop all this from happening. And tomorrow, it will be the only possible time in my life. One chance to gain great power."

He turned his head to look at Li Lei, and turned the subject to Li Lei himself: "But Li Lei, you have such strength since you were a child. You are a soldier who is one in ten thousand, and you are facing the same opportunity as me. Why not choose to accept it, but to reject it?"

"What do you know! You don't understand anything!" Before Steven's words fell, Li Lei opened his eyes a little irritable. From Steven's perspective, he could even see bloodshot eyes in his eyes. "You don't understand the appearance of your parents being killed by the enemy in front of you; you don't understand the appearance of your former compatriots dying in front of you in battle—you haven't even experienced the fear of death! Why do you Let me accept it! Maybe one day you will also wish that you have never been in the army!"

"Ray, Ray! Listen to me..." Steven jumped out of his bed suddenly, and went to Li Lei's bedside, with his hands on his shoulders, and his blue eyes looked at Li Lei tenderly.Inexplicably, under his gaze, Li Lei gradually lost his irritability, leaving only grievances in his heart.

"Ray, I know, everyone has their own fears." Steven pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered the underwater scene that day, "But you must come out to truly defeat yourself—— Otherwise, there will be nothing but sadness in the end.”

Li Lei smiled bitterly, turned his head away, and Steven saw tears running down the corner of his eyes: "You don't understand, the feeling of both relatives dying in front of you. It's not that I didn't try hard, I I also wanted to join the army with the hope of my parents. I also wanted to win glory for the country like my father, and even become a heroic figure like my brother. But when the facts are in front of me, I...I can't... "

He took a breath a little excitedly, turned his head away, his amber eyes were filled with tears.

"I can't get the enemy's blood on my hands no matter what. Even in the end, it doesn't matter. Even if I know that all this is inevitable, even if it's my own mission...but I know...I can't do it!"

Raising his hands slightly trembling, Li Lei slowly rubbed Steven's pale golden hair:

"You are different from me. I am destined to be a loser. Steven, you can go further, you can become a super soldier. One day, you will walk on this land wearing the American flag. But All this does not belong to me, all this has nothing to do with me, the entire army has nothing to do with me..."

Steven sighed helplessly, left Li Lei's bedside, and lay down on his own bed again.A sigh spread to Li Lei's ear along the bright moonlight:

"If you run away, you're the real loser..."

"Master, maybe I shouldn't speak at this time.But Steven was right.The master escaped last time and paid the price of his life. Do you want to escape again..." EDC287, who is always chatty, is also uncharacteristically, and some exclamations echoed in Li Lei's mind, "Maybe the master also escaped this time. But all of this will still be your shadow, even if the memory is erased and the world is transformed, your shadow will still be a shadow, no matter when and where...』

After speaking, EDC287 also remained silent, and there was no more movement.

Loser...?Li Lei looked at his hands with a wry smile, the crevices in his muscles were clearly visible in the moonlight.These hands have been stained with the soil of the motherland, the smoke of guns, and the remains of earthquakes, but they have never been stained with the blood of the enemy...

Maybe doomed...

Tonight, doomed to sleepless...

"I'm familiar with this area." Sitting in the car of the military camp, Steven introduced the neighborhood in front of him with some excitement, "I was beaten up in that alley, and that parking lot... oh, And the back of the restaurant."

Li Lei stared at the strange neighborhood passing by in front of him, dazed in a daze.As if feeling the embarrassment of the two people in the back seat, Agent Carter sitting in the front seat turned around and asked Steven, "Aren't you going to run away?"

Steven shook his head, as if answering Agent Carter's words, but his blue eyes kept staring at Li Lei, and his voice was low: "Once you start running away, you can't stop for the rest of your life."

"As long as you persevere to the end, those shadows will never be able to oppress you, forever..."

Li Lei shook his head, and spoke for the first time since the two of them talked last night. His voice was a little hoarse after a night of sleepless: "You don't understand that feeling. When the facts are in front of you, you feel a deep sense of powerlessness."

"But at least the facts haven't appeared yet, hasn't it?" Steven was a little reconciled, still making the last effort, "Even if it has become a reality, as long as you dare to face it, it still won't be brought to the fore again." You beat."

Some things have already become a reality, but who can guarantee that I can defeat it next time.Li Lei's mouth was bitter, and he turned his head to continue looking at the scene flashing by outside the window.

"Li Lei, your destination has arrived." Soon, the car stopped at a station in Brooklyn, and Agent Carter in the front row said coldly, his tone full of disdain, "I'm sorry about the following You can't participate, you are no longer in the army."

Li Lei obediently opened the door and got out of the car.Agent Carter opened the car window and shouted towards Li Lei's bleak figure:

"Li Lei! I am a soldier now, and I am a woman! You are not even as good as a woman now! You are not as good as a woman!"

In shouting those words, Agent Carter wished he would change his mind a little.But Li Lei didn't waver in the slightest, as if he stepped on the bottom of Agent Carter's heart, his hope was completely wiped out.

Agent Carter pursed his lips and shook his head angrily. He closed the car window and yelled at the people next to him, "Drive!"

The car took Steven away, leaving only Li Lei behind.At this moment, he stopped, turned his head and looked at the direction of the car in a daze, and said to himself:

"...A loser...not even a woman..."

『Master, this main quest is over, you can start the next trip at any time. 』The voice of EDC287 also echoed in Li Lei's mind, but this time, Li Lei heard an inexplicable sense of alienation from it.

He lowered his head, watching the ants under his feet gradually crawling to the distance, trying to avoid the footsteps of pedestrians, and muttered: "I started to escape... I can't stop for a lifetime..."

"... Forever..."
