Welcome to Bao's Ville [[Continue->00]]

What kind of person do you think you are? (Choose your game character) A.[[Sophisticated but indifferent->A1]] B.[[Brave but emotional->B1]] C.[[Smart but impetuous->C1]]

I am a transporter, male, about 40 years old, who carries goods to those villages inside the mountain. Nearly all of these villages are poor and far away from modern society. Thus, people there don't buy many from the outside. They don't buy many, then I can't earn much. The only reason that I continue to do this job is that --some particular goods are profitable. [[Continue->A2]]

I am a farmer, male, about 30 years old. But I'm now sitting on the passenger seat of a truck. The bearded man with a poker face sitting next to me is my boss, and I'm his assistant now. Though my job is to support him, I can only chat with him as a friend for most of the time during the journey. [[Continue->B2]]

I'm an investigative journalist, female, 26 years old. I used to translate some academic advancement and discovery into English that the public can understand them in the last two years. Nevertheless, It suddenly stroke me one day that I couldn't tolerate the repeated days without passion. I mean sitting in front of my computer 8 hours a day and trying to replace the terminologies with those English words that even a kid can understand, really drove me crazy. This is not the life of a journalist that I dreamed of. [[Continue->C2]]

Today, one of my goods is a girl. Is she abducted? No. But is she volunteer? No. So is it illegal? Yes, but only definitely in the textbook. [[Continue->A3]]

She is sold by her parents and a man in Bao's Ville plans to buy her as his wife. At least, the middleman told me the story above. However, their deal is none of my business. I only care about the money that I can feed my family. Maybe that's why the middle man picked me for the job. [[Continue->A4]]

My destination is Bao's Ville today. I'm driving my truck, while my assistant who is sitting next to me has fallen asleep. His dad was dead because of cancer last month, Who always took care of me when alive. The mountain roads are rough, I can hear the boxes on the back occasionally make noises. It's hard to imagine how my assistant can sleep like a baby. [[Continue->A5]]

Suddenly, I see a lady walking alongside the road about 60 feet in front of me. She is wearing a white blouse and jeans, while also towing a suitcase. I ask her where she is going. Her answer is Bao's Ville. [[Continue->A6]]

I think she deserves a free ride. So, I stop the truck and wake my assistant. I ask my assistant to give his seat to the lady, then sit on the back. I don't want her to be so close to my products. Of course, this behavior is polite. [[Continue->A7]]

On the way to the Bao's Ville, I realize that she is going to be a teacher in that village. It seems strange to me because few people from the outside world are willing to migrate to villages here, let along a teacher. But my assistant is glad to hear that because the kids in our town have to go to another town for school. [[Continue->A8]]

After the community leader and I checked goods, it's already the time of sunset. So I decide to stay for a night then go back to my town as I did last time. After all, it is dangerous to drive in the dark. [[Continue->A9]]

During the midnight, my door is knocked by the teacher. But she tells me that she is a journalist rather than a teacher. More than that, she asks me to help her to save the girl that I transport to this village. 1. [[I should give her to the residents here and what they will do is none of my business.->Aa1]] 2. [[I can't help save the girl, but I can take her to leave.->Ab1]] 3. [[Maybe I should help her.->Ac1]] [[Back to Last Choice->00]]

She lied to me. She lied to kids here. She lied to all the families with a kid here. She even wants to destroy my job. I can't let those things happen. So I give her to the residents here. [[Continue->Aa2]]

The deal is none of my business. If I get involved, those people behind won't let me go. But I can bring the journalist out of this village. The journalist is also a female. They don't hurry because she will live here for a quite long time as a teacher. There will be many opportunities to develop a relationship with her for the men here. [[Continue->Ac2]]

No, definitely not. I can't risk myself for someone I don't know. And I don't know where they hide that girl now. The journalist is also a female. They don't hurry because she will live here for a quite long time as a teacher. There will be many opportunities to develop a relationship with her for the men here. [[Continue->Ac2]]

If she hates how the residents here treat that girl, She should leave now. If She pretends to be ill, I can get her out by sending her to the nearest hospital in another town as an excuse. A journalist coming here means that other journalists will appear here in the future too. No matter what I do, I cannot continue this job anymore. I should leave and cut the contact to those people involved. [[Continue->Ac3]]

After the journalist left the village only for several weeks, human traffickings in this become a hot social issue. It's fortunate for me that I met the journalist that day. I get out of this before the police start their investigations. [[Continue->Ac4]]

END [[Back to Last Choice->A9]]

The job is not safe now. A journalist coming here means that other journalists will come here in the future too. If she is not back, someone knows her will come to find her. I should leave now, and I should clean all the traits. I'd better inform the intermediate about this, and I can definitely get a reward. [[Continue->Aa3]]

It will take quite a long time for me to settle somewhere else. [[Continue->Aa4]]

END [[Back to Last Choice->A9]]

My boss was only my neighbor two weeks ago. I really appreciated that my boss asked me to be his partner. Thanks for this part-time job, I needn't be worried about the milk powder for my kid. My wife was also very satisfied, and she is willing to take care of the crops when I'm busy. [[Continue->B3]]

I once doubted why those poor villages can afford the price to hire us, so I asked my boss. 'Do not think, just follow me. Do you want us to lose this job together?' Answered by him. That's right. The only thing that matters is this part-time job makes my life easier. [[Continue->B4]]

I slept for a while. My boss suddenly wakes me up and asks me to sit on the back because a lady will sit in my position. She introduces herself that she is a teacher. It's real1y excellent because those kids here get a teacher to teach them about the outside world. Maybe in the future, they can go out of these villages and move to those big cities. This is one of my dream in my childhood. [[Continue->B5]]

When my boss finishes his job, it is already the time of sunset. He decides to stay here for the night and go back on tomorrow morning, which means I can't leave until tomorrow morning. [[Continue->B6]]

During midnight, the teacher knocks at my door and tells me a girl is abducted to here. She asks me to help her to save the girl. If it's ture, some people will certainly do something terrible to this girl. Thus, I should help the teacher find out if there exist such a girl or not. [[Continue->B7]]

I go to see my boss alone. My boss denies that there exists such a girl. He thinks the teacher just feels uncomfortable about the new environment. Nevertheless, it's something serious if what the teacher told me is true. I can't let this thought go out of my brain. So, I decide to help the teacher alone. [[Continue->Bb1]]

We finally find the girl, but our activities also wake some residents. After they realize what happened, they start to come after us. The teacher asks me to take the girl to leave first, and she will buy some time for me. [[Continue->Bb2]]

If a girl is abducted to here, my boss may know something about it. What should I do? [[1. I should first ask my boss about this.->Ba1]] [[2. I should help her find that girl immediately.->Bb1]] [[Back to Last Choice->00]]

I need to find the truck, but we don't know exactly where it is. What I remember about the truck is that there's a forest between where the truck parked and this village. [[Continue->3,1]]

I successfully bring the girl to the police, but the situation becomes awkward when the girl meets her parents, who planned to sell her to afford her little brother's tuition. My boss is captured by the police, he cries at me when I visit him in jail. Yes, I deserve that because I betrayed him. [[Continue->Bb4]]

I did what I think is right, though it didn't end as well as what right things should be. [[Continue->Bb5]]

END [[Back to Last Choice->B7]]

So I joined a team to investigate the unknowns behind those hot social topics. Recently, our resources revealed that human trafficking may exist in these villages inside the mountain. As we are short-handed, I decided to investigate this area alone. This is my first time to be an investigative journalist. To be honest, I felt a bit frightened, but I can't flinch. [[Continue->C3]]

If I were the police, I can walk directly into one of those villages and show my ID to them. Then I can search the village and ask them whether they are involved in something illegal or criminal. However, I'm not the police. I have to figure out a plan to enter those villages. [[Continue->C4]]

I finally determined to play the role of a teacher. It's a piece of cake to get the support of local government. I guess only a few teachers are willing to come here. [[Continue->C5]]

The coach leaves me several miles away to my destination, Bao's Ville. The cell phone signal is terrible here, so I have to rely on a paper map to find the village. The mountain road is rough, especially for someone like me with luggage. [[Continue->C6]]

Luckily, I hear the sounds of the truck engine. The truck driver is friendly and invites me to the truck, when he knows my destination is the same as his. I tell them I'm gonna to be a teacher in that village. There's another guy on the truck who claims himself the assistant of the driver. He is thrilled that I can come here to be a teacher. [[Continue->C7]]

The community leader is an old man. He knows that a teacher will come in these days. Some residents and the community leader really appreciate me that I can come here to teach the children here. They provide an isolated house for me, only one floor with a simple toilet. They also tell me those children want to see their new teacher so eagerly. [[Continue->C8]]

I noticed that, the proportion of the male in his village is much higher than the percentage of the female. Even though the driver and the community leader tries to hide me from something, I see a sleepy girl is brought to a house. This might be the truth that I'm pursuing for, But I need help. [[Continue->C9]]

Who should I ask for a help? [[1. the driver->Ca1]] [[2. the assistant->Cb1]] [[Back to Last Choice->00]]

I remember where the driver stays during the day and wait to midnight. I knock the door of his room, then I should [[1. tell him I'm a journalist and ask him to save the abducted girl.->Caa1]] [[2. try to reason with him and ask him to free the abducted girl.->Cab1]] [[3. try to describe how poor the girl will be and ask him to rescue the abducted girl->Cac1]] [[4. try to threaten him to release the girl.->Cad1]] [[Back to Last Choice->C9]]

I remember where the assistant stays during the day and wait to midnight. I knock the door of his room, and asks him to help me. He is shocked when I tell him the story. He says he will definitely help me save that girl if the story is true. [[Continue->Cb2]]

I admit that I lie to him earlier this morning. He seems not feel very surprised. He says he doesn't know there exists an abducted girl. He also suggests that he can bring me out of this village if I'm afraid of the life here. [[Continue->Caa2]]

I try to reason with the driver what residents here is wrong. The driver tries to hide from me at the beginning, but he finally tells me the truth. [[Continue->Cab2]]

I ask the driver if he has a daughter. He says yes. Then I ask what he would feel, if his daughter were abducted. The driver tries to hide from me at the beginning, but he finally tells me the truth. [[Continue->Cab2]]

I tell him that I'm a journalist. I have backups. If he doesn't help me, I will directly negotiate with the residents here. If I lose contact with my colleagues, they will come and find me. [[Continue->Cad2]]

What should I do? [[1. promise to leave the viliage with him->Caaa1]] [[2. try to ask the assistant for help->Caac1]] [[3. try to save the girl alone->Caab1]] [[Back to Last Choice->Ca1]]

I pretend that I'm ill the next day. The driver takes me out of that village. I know something criminal happens there, but I don't have any proof. Maybe I'm just afraid what happens there. When I come back to my city, I continue the job that explains the scientific material to the public. [[Continue->Caaa2]]

I fail to save that girl, and I'm captured by the residents here. They claim that I lie to them and try to damage their lives. They torture me for several weeks until the police and my colleagues find me. The police also save the girl and find there are even more abducted women here. [[Continue->Caab2]]

END [[Back to Last Choice->Caa2]]

However, these women don't want to leave this village, because they are unwilling to leave their kids. The whole village is involved in human trafficking, so only a few men take the responsibility. [[Continue->Caab3]]

Why is the whole village involved? I start my research on that since then I'm saved from the village. [[Continue->Caab4]]

END [[Back to Last Choice->Caa2]]

The girl is not abducted. She is sold by her family. Her family is poor and need money. Only a few girls from the outside world are willing to marry someone here. If the residents here do not buy those girls, they won't have their own offspring. [[Continue->Cab3]]

I don't know what to say. This is far beyond what I'm able to. I always try to reveal the truth to the public, but I consider little where this ' truth' comes from. The reason why some people are involved in something criminal is not that they like it, but due to the bad situation that they are in. What they do is to survive. [[Continue->Cab4]]

I understand why the driver tells me the whole story. He is between a poor family and a poor village. He has to feed his own family. Those tough things are none of his business. He doesn't want to get involved. [[Continue->Cab5]]

What should I do now? [[1. ask the driver to take me out of this villiage tomorrow.->Caba1]] [[2. try to ask the assistant for help.->Cabb1]] [[3. try to save the girl alone.->Cabc1]] [[Back to Last Choice->Ca1]]

I pretend that I'm ill the next day. The driver takes me out of that village. I know something criminal happens there, but I don't have any proof. I start to doubt whether I'm doing is meaningful or not. With this doubt, I continue the job that explains the scientific material to the public. [[Continue->Caba2]]

END [[Back to Last Choice->Cab5]]

Even though, He still says he doesn't know there exists an abducted girl. He also suggests that he can bring me out of this village if I'm afraid of the life here. [[Continue->Caa2]]

We finally find the girl, but our activities also wake some residents. After they realize what happened, they start to come after us. The assistant asks me to take the girl to leave first, and he will buy some time for me. [[Continue->Cb3]]

I remember where they parked the truck. It's fortunate that I learned how to drive after I graduated from high school. When I reach the truck, I know the girl, and I are safe. [[Continue->Cb4]]

I get a prize due to my experience to reveal the truth. My colleagues are proud of me. This is the life of journalist that I'd dreamed of. I will continue to be an investigative journalist, and expose all the darkness to the sunlight. [[Continue->Cb5]]
