Why it never ends

Chapter 27 Anxiety
"Maybe there's another way to end this thing?"

"Huh? What?"

Hesta blinked, "...Maybe one day, when I take advantage of his unpreparedness, I will drag him out and beat him up, and tell him that if he dares to approach again, I will blow his head off."

Liz froze for a moment, then laughed.

"It's not impossible, right." Hesta said softly, "Maybe next year."

Liz rubbed her eyes and nodded again and again. She sat up on the bed, "If this is the case, then I should settle this matter before you wake up for the second time, Jane."

"……why?"

"It's not right in a world where the weak should endure bullying, I hate that world." Liz's expression became serious, "I also don't want you to have that kind of thinking, like, 'The reason why you are caught in Shaw now? En's harassment is because I don't have the strength yet...' and so on, in Askia, if anyone runs rampant in the village relying on his own hard fist, he will always be severely taught, and bullies should be punished for their own Act ashamed.

"Like when I was a child, there lived a pharmacist across the door. She was so weak that she couldn't even carry a bag full of grains, but she knew all kinds of medicinal materials, what kind of grasses and grasses in the forest. The fruit is edible, but what kind is poisonous? Every time we reclaim new wasteland and discover new plants, we all rely on her to distinguish whether something is edible.

"There is also my grandmother, she is very small, but she knows how to find water sources. When she was young, she took my father and several aunts on long journeys. She went there for several months and always brought back good news... Her The erudition, the experience she left behind, and her courageous spirit are unmatched by anyone who is stronger than her.

"Whether it's my grandmother or the pharmacist, if other people allow them to be bullied, let them fear, and spend a lot of time and energy studying how to protect themselves, then they will not be able to play their original value ——In the final analysis, human beings are interdependent animals. It is wisdom and courage that lead us to move upwards, not brute force. On the one hand, a weak person may be enough to become a giant on the other, but the premise of all this is existence A peaceful order.

"If someone uses a certain talent unscrupulously to violate the interests of others because he is good at it, it is undoubtedly a violation of this order-I will never allow this to happen around me."

The soft light in the bedroom reflected in Liz's eyes, making her stern eyebrows glow with heroism, "Sooner or later, you will be able to knock this guy down, Sean. But I believe, there must be a better solution than this."

"...Is it worth it?" Hesta murmured in a low voice, "For you to spend so much effort on this matter?"

Liz suddenly broke into a smile.

"My father also complained that my grandmother likes to be nosy before," she looked at Hesta, "but my grandmother said that people always take some public order and good customs for granted, as if 'good people get rewards, bad people get retribution'" It should be an iron law, once the good people lose power and the bad people are proud, they will become angry-but in fact, if no one rewards the good people and no one punishes the bad people, this order will not exist at all.

"One of the reasons why I like the base is that the concept promoted here is very similar to that of Askia. In Askia, justice is never late. If she is late, it must be because no one is willing to use sweat and blood. To pave the way for her."

Liz looked sideways at Hesta, "So you don't have to feel guilty, Jane, I'm also defending my own rules."

Hesta was suddenly moved, and an inexplicable courage rose from the bottom of her heart.

Liz continued, "The reason why we can't do anything about Xiao En now is that his actions have not caused any substantial harm to you, and we haven't found any new evidence for the time being. Sean's restrictions require that we cannot force him to stay away.

"However, if he persists in his obsession and continues to do some weird things, I don't rule out using violent means to teach him some lessons—but this shouldn't be something you should be anxious about. Don't be afraid, Jane."

"Well, I'm not afraid."

Hesta put her hand gently on her heart, and she felt her heart pounding in her chest, as if a warm tide was overflowing.

"Even now, Sean and his brother appear in front of me together, I won't tremble anymore."

……

On Saturday, Chiba arrived as scheduled.

She came again in that familiar wine-red hatchback, and Hesta took the co-pilot seat like the previous few times.

Chiba opened the car window and drove Hesta towards Tan Yi's urban area.

This is the first time that Hesta has seen a complex of buildings in the civilized world. Every house here is as beautiful as St. Anne's Monastery. People planted roses and irises in the garden facing the street, and they have bloomed one after another in early summer.

"Are you still used to the life in the base?" Chiba asked.

"Ah."

"Compared with being a nun in a monastery, which one do you prefer?"

"I'm not a nun, I didn't take a 'vow'."

Qianye glanced at Hesta, "What vow?"

"Eternal poverty, eternal chastity, and eternal obedience." Hesta said softly, "Only by studying in the convent and taking vows can one become a nun."

Qianye already laughed out loud, "It's a good thing you didn't."

The car turned a corner, Chiba handed over a hat with a pair of sunglasses inside, "Put it on."

Hesta did, and soon she realized why Chiba was doing it—on a wire fence of the day's papers and new periodicals at a newsstand on a certain street corner, she saw her picture being published Everywhere.

Here she has long flaxen hair and looks like a frightened fawn, gazing at the camera with deep suspicion and distrust.

The car passed by in gusts of wind, and Hesta's eyes were still chasing the newsstand behind him until Chiba made another turn.

Hesta turned around: "...What are those?"

"Your photo was found by the gendarmerie in the monastery's municipal archives." Chiba replied calmly, "What's the matter with your hair color, why isn't it red in the photo?"

"At that time, the dean and Miss Gerding thought my red hair was too easy to attract criticism, so they gave me a wig when the photo was taken." There was nothing left, "That should be a photo taken three years ago, when I first entered the monastery-but why did the gendarmerie print my photo everywhere?"

"The people at the base may not have told you that the coalition government is now competing with AHgAs for your custody rights." Chiba replied, "The coalition government of each region wants to have an anti-chelation team under its own control, But the current Mercury Needle newcomers are basically discovered in the wilderness far away from habitable places. From bringing them back to employment, the coalition government basically has nothing to intervene."

"It's hard to find a seedling in a livable field, of course they have to snatch it."
