Why it never ends

Chapter 304 Wandering
The next evening.

At around eight o'clock, Su Lei packed his things and left the office, and the gray sky started to rain again.

She started the car, turned on the radio, and the two men were talking on the speaker. The host was discussing the unseasonably heavy rain in the Third District this winter with a meteorologist—weather that hadn’t been seen in decades.

Winters in the northern part of the Third District are always cloudy, but it rarely rains.

Meteorologists calmly said that this may be related to the solar storm not long ago. This solar storm triggered a huge tsunami in the distant Nagao Ocean, and the tsunami caused several volcanoes to erupt one after another. Abnormal weather occurred in many places.

Su Lei listened for a while, then switched the radio station, only to hear another scholar knocking on the table in the next second. The man was filled with righteous indignation, saying that some scientific researchers really don't even need basic knowledge of the subject in order to gain attention. It will take at least half a year for the volcanic ash to cause such a drastic climate change in the third region.

Su Lei changed the channel again. In another program, several guests were discussing the impact of this continuous winter rain on grain production in the coming year.

She turned off the radio and listened to the rain.

Outside the car, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in the light beams of the car lights, the rain was dense.

……

Hesta had wandered the streets of Tany for a day and a night, feeling neither sleepy nor hungry, just walking on.

Along the way, several dark alleys suddenly attracted her attention, she turned around and ran in without thinking about anything.

However, the end of the alley is still an unfamiliar street scene.

Going around like this many times, she finally realized in the chaos what she was expecting to see at the end of the alley—she longed to see the golden roof of the Palace of Fine Arts on Cannon Avenue.

Under the washing of the heavy rain, Hesta's mind regained some clarity.

This is Tan Yi, not Bruno City.

There is no Cannon Avenue in Tan Yi, nor is there a Golden-Dome Palace of Fine Arts.

In a trance, Hesta looked around blankly, and soon, the images of Canon Avenue and the Palace of Fine Arts faded in his mind, and everything returned to silence.She stood there for a while, and when the dizziness in her head passed, she continued to walk forward.

The heavy rain is like a gentle embrace, embracing the whole world, including Hesta.The rain soaked her old uniform, and she was like a passer-by who just woke up from countless dreams one after another. She didn't know where she was, where she was going, or what she was going to do.

But just go forward...you can't go wrong if you go forward.

The footsteps cannot stop.

Hesta was still walking aimlessly in the heavy rain, until a woman's shrill cry came from a distance, that person's voice was like a sharp knife tearing apart the rain curtain, and stabbing Hesta out of delirium—— Those originally sluggish sensations suddenly returned to normal, and at this moment, the sound of the rain, the touch of the wind, the burning pain of every wound... all became extremely clear.

Hesta walked quickly, and soon found the source of the crying in front of a townhouse. A woman in a dark blue sarong was being beaten in the rain. She curled up in the mud, a thank you The middle-aged man at the top held a whip in his hand, and while yelling and cursing, he whipped the woman on the woman.

The woman on the ground was crying and begging for mercy, and in the window of the building not far away, several children were crying for their mother.

Hesta rushed forward and grabbed the whip that was flying in the air almost effortlessly.

Before the man had time to turn his head, the whip was already tightly wrapped around his neck, and before he could even utter a terrified moan, he rolled his eyes.

The woman who had fallen on the ground looked up blankly, and after a moment of astonishment, she screamed like crazy.

"Killed!!! Killed!!!"

"Come here - kill, kill!!!"

Hesta used all her strength when she came up, but it was so strange that even so, she couldn't break the man's neck immediately.

"Let go of him!! You let him go!!"

Some innocuous fists fell on Hesta. She knew it was the woman who did it. Although she didn't understand why, she didn't have the energy to think about it right now.

The man's twisting limbs kept splashing water on the ground, and his movements gradually became smaller.

The woman finally realized that she couldn't pull away from the big man who suddenly appeared, and deeper despair climbed onto her face.In the heavy rain, she ran back to her yard crying, picked up a wooden stick, and hit the uninvited guest hard on the back of the head.

With the stick down, Hesta let go of her hand immediately, and she fell into the rain, almost losing consciousness from the pain.

The woman cried and helped her husband up, and dragged him to the house.

Several nearby houses watched curiously from behind the curtains at the man who had fallen into the rain.After a while, someone came out with an umbrella, wanting to see if the person was dead.

However, before they approached, Hesta stood up again.She covered the back of her head and stood up crookedly.

"Hi!" Someone shouted behind her, "Are you okay? I called an ambulance for you."

Hesta's body froze for a moment, and the woman's sap seemed to suddenly clear the fog in her mind. At this moment, she finally remembered why she was wandering here.

Can't stop here.

cannot……

In the rain, Hesta ran as hard as she could again, the blood running down the back of her neck and staining her collar.

they lied to me...

They all lied to me.

Mother……

There are too many bad people in the world...

Can't kill.

In a daze, Hesta walked through a few more streets and alleys, and when she came to an intersection again, she felt someone grab her wrist.

Turning around, she saw two completely unfamiliar faces.

"Hello!" The person wearing a raincoat showed her his ID, "Are you Eureka, right? We are the security personnel of the nearby Mercury Needle Workstation. 10 minutes ago, your data status alarmed. We found this place based on the chip coordinates. ...Are you all right? Are you injured or sick?"

Hesta tried to break free.

"I'm very good."

"You'd better come back with us for an inspection, you're in a very—"

"I do not need……"

"Please cooperate!"

"Let go—"

A black car suddenly honked its horn in the distance, and Si Lei got out of the car under an umbrella, and quickly showed his ID to the two security personnel at the workstation.After discovering that Su Lei belonged to both the Police Headquarters of the Third District and the Bell Tower Workstation in the core city, the two saluted Su Lei at the same time.

Su Lei returned the salute, and briefly introduced the antecedents of the homicide photography investigation team to the two in front of him.

"In short, although the current investigation has entered the final stage, it has not yet officially ended," Su Lei said calmly, "You cannot forcibly take away any mercury needles in our team."

"But Eureka is in very bad shape right now—"

"This is not something you need to consider."
