Chapter 105 Dreaming of the Broken Swords
Chapter 105: Dreaming of the Broken Swords (Part )
Branch 2:
[You: (Looking at the broken pieces of Han brocade on the table with hesitation) Will it help if I knock on them once?]
[You: (talking to yourself) Why not light one? Burning incense seems to be more effective than kowtowing...]
You muttered to yourself and searched your pocket, only to find that it was empty. You turned around and went to the rest area to find the small incense stick that your colleague bought for you to calm your nerves and help you sleep.
As you return to the restoration area with the incense burner and incense coil, you suddenly feel like something is wrong.
So under this instinctive reminder, you choose -
[No matter what is right or wrong, it is more important to pay respect to Han Jin's ancestors. We will talk about the wrong parts later! (Select this option and jump down to branch line A)]
[It seems not a good idea to light a fire in the repair area, so why not just not light the incense? Replace the incense with the electronic candle I just saw in the cabinet. (Select this option to jump down to branch B)]

#Branch Line A#

[You: (pursed lips) Forget it, no matter what is right or wrong, it is more important to pay respect to the Han Brocade first. After all, this thing is almost related to the "life and death" of the museum (bushi). Other things that are wrong will be discussed later.]
You thought so and decisively put aside the discomfort in your heart, trotted back to the repair area with the incense burner and incense coil, quickly got ready, and took out the disposable lighter you had just found.
When the switch is pressed, the flames instantly wrap around the incense head and white smoke rises. You subconsciously look up at the "Safety Management Regulations for the Cultural Relics Restoration Room" posted on the wall.
In large, bold, black letters, there are a series of rules that you have already memorized. Your eyes almost instinctively follow the words line by line, and at a certain moment, they suddenly freeze in a corner -
"6. Open flames are strictly prohibited in the restoration area. If open flames must be used during the restoration of cultural relics, an application report must be submitted to the higher authorities."
Open flames are strictly prohibited.
Your straightened eyes turned stiffly, and your brain, which had been confused due to lack of sleep, suddenly resumed functioning at this moment.
You remembered that lighting fires and burning incense were indeed not allowed in the repair area, so the small incense sticks and incense burner were always placed in the lounge.
You frantically try to blow out the incense stick, but the dark flame on it becomes stronger and stronger.
In a hurry, you simply ran to take the incense burner out of the repair area, but you didn't pay attention to your step and tripped over the threshold.
The incense coil, which was already loose and easily broken, was immediately tripped and flew out of the incense burner. The burning incense head fell to the ground and ignited a small bag of garbage piled at the door, which you had not yet dealt with. The fire spread rapidly and the black smoke triggered the smoke alarm installed on the wall.
(Due to your operational error, a small fire broke out in the cultural relic restoration room. Although it did not cause much damage to the museum, it completely destroyed everyone's trust in you. You were fired as the director and jumped to ending 4.)

[You: (suddenly raises your hand and slaps your forehead) Oops, I almost forgot, open flames are not allowed in the restoration area, and things like incense and cigarettes are not allowed to be brought into the restoration area!]
[You: (regretful) You really can’t endure too much, it will really make you stupid... How could I almost forget such an important thing.]
Suddenly recalling this point, you knocked your head in annoyance, hurriedly put the incense plate and incense burner back to their original places, and then rummaged through the cabinet again.
You remember that the last time someone in the museum had a birthday, they bought two electronic candles that didn't require fire - although candles and incense are not the same thing, it should be okay to make do with them.
[You: (mumbling) The electronic candles are pretty nice too. I don’t think this Hanjin gentleman would care about these details… Ah, I found it.]
After searching for a while, you found these two electronic candles at the bottom of a drawer and happily took them back to the repair area. When the electronic candles are turned on, they will play funny music, accompanied by the flashing LED lights all over the body, which looks funny for no reason.
[You: (laughing) You know what, this thing is really fun to watch.]
[You: (starts to pray seriously) Heaven and earth, please show your power, Mr. Han Jin, please help me find the materials to repair you! ! If I keep going like this, I will be bald!]
[You: (mumbling) Thank you, thank you. I am willing to trade the curator’s bald head for a smooth restoration process—I bow to you in advance!!]
You shouted and bowed nearly 180 degrees to Han Jin. When you stood up, your vision went dark and you almost fell down on the spot.
At this moment, you realize belatedly that you really need to take a good rest, so after packing up those electronic candles, you simply wash up and go back to the lounge to catch up on your sleep.
(The electronic candle that can flash and play music makes your "lighting incense" behavior abstract to the extreme. Han Jin Jingpo feels that there are not many crazy people like you these days, and he can't help but have great respect for you. Han Jin Jingpo's favorability value +20, and then continue to return to the main plot.)

Branch three:
[You: (Holding your head and crying) Hiss~ Why does it feel like my head hurts whether I kowtow or not!!]
[You: (giving up right there) Forget it, forget it, what’s the point of kowtow or not, now that things have come to this, let’s go to sleep first.]
[You: Otherwise, someone will die suddenly before the cultural relics are fully restored.]
You muttered as you turned off the lights in the repair area, then turned around, locked the door, and entered the lounge.
Half a month of almost non-stop work has stretched your body to the limit, so you choose to take a nap first.
(Your behavior of taking a nap first makes Han Jin Spirit feel that your mind is as stable as a Capybara, and he can't help but like you. Han Jin Spirit's favorability value +10, stability +10, and then continue to return to the main plot.)

〈Ending 4: Being fired and blacklisted by the industry〉
〈Your illegal use of open flames in the restoration area caused a small fire that rarely occurs in a museum in a decade or so.
Although the fire was put out in time and no irreparable losses were caused to the museum, it still completely exhausted everyone's trust in you.
The project was transferred to someone else by the curator the next day, and you were fired from the museum and lost your job.
And because you were expelled from the museum due to your own illegal operations, the entire industry has also blacklisted you.
From then on, you will never find any museum willing to hire you, and you will have to stay away from your beloved career and spend your life in mediocrity in a township primary school.
〈Ending: Playing with fire, getting burned〉
〈Achievement: Look, the lessons learned from the past! 〉
〈Title Obtained: Arsonist〉
[I killed myself right after entering the main storyline. Please ask the restorer to start over! 】
I saw how many people died in this chapter.
