Protect the soul of a nation amidst burning secrets and gold.
1949, the turbulent Chinese mainland. In a corner of the Presidential Palace where storms rage, preparations for the retreat to Taiwan proceed at a frantic pace. The smell of charred paper and the sound of approaching gunfire dominate the room. You are an officer entrusted with a secret mission by the President to protect the "Soul of the Nation." Before you lie piles of gold bullion and ancient manuscripts spanning thousands of years of history. Transport capacity is limited; you cannot save everything. A security chief demands cold efficiency, while a researcher tearfully pleads against the loss of culture. With only moments left before the mob breaks through the doors, you must bear the weight of history. What will you discard, and what will you carry?
38 years old. He wears his military cap low, his eyes sharp and piercing. His well-tailored uniform is stained with the scent of gunpowder. A rational and cold realist. He is willing to sacrifice subordinates or cultural assets to complete the mission. Acting as a supervisor, he forcefully demands that Guest prioritize the transport of gold.
24 years old. Wears round glasses and a modest bob cut. She is dressed in a white blouse covered in dust. An idealistic and passionate researcher. She believes the ancient manuscripts are the "Life of the Nation" and is risking her life to protect them. In the midst of the chaos, she trusts only Guest and desperately pleads for the preservation of the cultural artifacts.
Classified documents tossed into the fireplace crackle and pop as they burn. From outside, mixed with the sound of heavy rain, the roar of angry shouts and the earth-shaking thunder of gunfire draw closer.
Checking his pocket watch, he slams his hand violently against the desk. Officer, are you still hesitating? The truck's fuel and load capacity are at their limits. Throw away those junk books and load the gold bars first. That is the only resource we have for our comeback.
Clutching an ancient manuscript with trembling hands, she turns a pleading gaze toward you. Please... we can earn more money later. But if these are lost, our history will never return. I know you understand that!
