Why it never ends

Chapter 106 Like You

The Lager Workstation is located on the east side of Bruno North Station, about two blocks away.

This area is full of old houses with only two or three floors. These houses have few floors, but the floor height is very high. Valenti visually estimates that the height of each floor here is about five meters, which is nearly twice that of ordinary buildings. The walls of the building are all bright and clean arched windows, and the street trees on both sides of the road are reflected on the glass, and the shadows of the trees are dim and soft.

Valenti came here a few times when she first came to Nigeria. Although it was to deal with some formalities, these houses left a deep impression on her.

When the two stepped into the door of the workstation, the clock in the center of the main hall just struck the half o'clock lightly - the time just happened to be stuck at 6:30.

"Your inquiry will be over in a while, just wait for me here." Ava said.

"Okay." Valenti glanced at the administrative secretary not far away - the other party had already stood up from his seat.

After watching Ava walk further into the workstation with a cane, Valenti stepped forward to take out her ID card and reported her name. The secretary began to enter the information, and then gave her a number. She needs to go to the corresponding office. The inquiry room is waiting.

At 6:37, Valenti's group questioning officially began. In a pure white room, she couldn't see the questioner across from her, only a black lens pointed at her face.

The workstation’s questions were very specific. They gave a precise time and place, and used some detailed clues to help Valenti recall the specific details of what happened that day—if her answer was suspicious, the other party would immediately ask questions. It can be seen that beforehand, it should be A very thorough investigation has been conducted on her whereabouts in the past six months.

The workstation focused on several of her visitors, the two old supervisors, her father, and several relatives from Virgil's side, but did not explain the reason.Valenti speculates that maybe these people have a second or third degree or more direct relationship with Baron Fernand - with Fernand's wide contacts and fast climbing speed, the people who have entanglements with him are probably the same River crucian carp.

The interview ended at 7:44, and although it was just a conversation, Valenti left the interview room exhausted.No matter how many times she has experienced it, she still can't get used to such occasions - she can't see the face of the interrogator, but can only face the cold camera and synthesized voice, which makes her feel that she is in a position that is not respected .

Most of the time, she almost forgot that there was a chip in her body, but there were always moments like this that made her realize that there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at herself and everything.

When Valenti returned to the lobby, she saw that Ava and Hesta were sitting on the public seat. Neither of them spoke, but they were in a relaxed state. At first glance, they looked like a pair of grandparents resting .

"Miss Valenti." Hesta noticed Valenti's footsteps, stood up and waved to her.

Valenti immediately stretched out her hands and rubbed her face. She cheered up and stepped forward quickly.

Although it was only a day apart, when Valenti held Hesta's cold hand, she suddenly felt that there was a subtle change in Hesta's appearance today—her face was very pale, bloodless, and her lower eyelids But it was slightly red, as if she had cried when.

Has she become emaciated?No, Hesta's eyes may never have been as bright as they are today. Even though there are dark circles around her slightly swollen eye sockets, the expression in her eyes is joyful, even with a rare indifference.

Looking at Hesta like this, Valenti suddenly shivered for some reason.

"Are you okay?" Hesta bent down and asked with concern.

Valenti shook her head, she quickly calmed down the unreasonable emotion, "Have you been sitting here for a long time?"

"It hasn't been long, we've been chatting before." Hesta said and looked up at the clock not far away, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, "...Oh, it's been more than half an hour."

Ava behind her smiled, "Every time this happens, time flies by."

"Heh, have you forgotten the time?" Valenti looked at Ava, "You two knew each other before?"

"No, I don't know each other." Hesta looked back at Ava, "Today is the first time I saw Ms. Morgan—but I really don't know why, it feels like I've known her for a long time."

Ava had already got up and stood up, "Let's go, I'll drive you back."

……

Ava's car drove steadily towards Paul Avenue. On the way, Valenti criticized the pure white room, and Ava laughed when she heard it.

"Did they ask you the same question?" Valenti asked.

"Of course it's the same." Ava replied lightly, "Back up and record everything, and at the same time protect the internal staff responsible for the investigation, so as not to let the investigator know who is handling the incident related to him... This is that room meaning."

"This is too outrageous, don't you think so?" Valenti took a deep breath, "It's almost like presupposing that each of us is a potential criminal. prisoner's shackles."

Ava laughed, "You have insight into the essence, Valenti."

Valenti thought she heard it wrong, "...what?"

"Let me ask you, for the people in the livable land, what is the difference between a mercury needle and a chelate that can be uncontrolled and act as they wish?"

Valenti was stunned, "...how can you say that?"

Ava glanced in Valenti's direction, and when she looked away, she quietly cast a glance at Hesta behind her through the rearview mirror - Hesta was sitting quietly by the window, I don't know what I was thinking, as if I didn't listen to their chat at all.

"I won't talk about the cases that are too far away... Let me ask you, Valenti, are there any worse students in the reserves you have led?"

Valenti frowned slightly, "How do you define 'bad'?"

"There is no need for a complicated definition here," Ava said softly, "Let's just assume that now the base has issued a notice that starting next month, we will put some mercury needles into habitable places without chips." Life. With your simple feeling, if you can rest assured to let them go, it is not bad, otherwise, it is bad."

"...Yes." Valenti replied quickly.

"This is the reason." Ava said, "From the perspective of harm, an out-of-control mercury needle is far better than a chelate tide. The longest survival time of chelate observed so far is only 52 days, and they Once the onset is a clear and obvious enemy, just eliminate it; while a mercury needle—of course, provided that she is lucky and does not sacrifice—can have a far-reaching impact. She can either lie dormant in the crowd or walk away. Go to a higher position and directly affect the decision-making at the top."

Hesta's voice suddenly came from the back seat of the car: "...just like you?"
