Why it never ends

Chapter 306 Defection
Before Su Lei had time to think about it, she found that there were still fresh blood stains on the bottom net of the wig, and she immediately followed the traces to find the wound on the back of Hesta's head.The bleeding there had stopped, but the wound was swollen high, obviously from being hit with a heavy object.

Several lines of blood ran down the back of Eureka's neck, which couldn't be seen just now when he was wearing a coat, and a terrible worry suddenly broke into Su Lei's mind—whether Eureka's lethargy was because she was tired, or because she had Cerebral hemorrhage...

"Eureka, don't sleep... tell me what happened to your head injury first?"

Hesta didn't open his eyes, but his brows frowned even deeper.

Su Lei suddenly panicked—it seems that the mercury injections at the two workstations were correct, and Eureka's current situation cannot be helped without immediate medical attention.If Euraika missed the best rescue time just because of his impromptu intention...

Si Lei didn't dare to think about it anymore, and just got up when she was held tightly by Eureka again.

"Don't go..."

"If you don't go, I'll make a call."

"... There are bugs, biting me."

"Bugs?" Si Lei was taken aback, "What kind of bugs?"

"Lots... keep biting me... don't go."

Eureka's voice was intermittent, at first a few words could be heard clearly, but later it became a completely meaningless murmur. Si Lei dialed Victoria's number while comforting her.

The rain outside the window was noisy, there was a lot of noise on the phone, and the monotonous beep rang several times in a row, but no one answered.

Su Lei glanced at the signal grid on the screen—the signal in this bedroom is usually not good, and it's the same now, so I have to go to the living room to make a call.

Si Lei leaned over and said softly, "Eureka, you hurt my hand from scratching, can you relax a little?"

The fingers that were like iron hoops just now loosened a little bit, and at this moment, Victoria's voice came from the phone, "Hello."

"Hey, Victoria, I'm Su Lei. I have something very important to tell you. I just ran into two security guards and Eureka from the Mercury Needle workstation on the road..."

"Hello?" On the other end of the phone, Victoria's voice intermittently asked, "Is this Su Lei?"

"Yes—" Si Lei got up again and walked out, "Can you hear me?"

The moment he stepped through the bedroom door, the noise on the phone suddenly disappeared.

"I can hear it. What are you looking for? I didn't hear a word just now."

"I have something very important—"

Before Si Lei finished speaking, there was a muffled "dong" sound behind her. She turned her head and saw Eureka turned over and fell off the bed.

At this moment, Su Lei was stunned - she clearly saw blood oozing from the left back of Eureka lying on the ground, probably just below the shoulder blade.

"Hello? Why is there no sound again," Victoria's voice came. "What's important? Su Lei?"

Su Lei didn't speak.

She walked slowly to Eureka, picked up the scissors on the bedside table, and cut her clothes along the edge of the bloodstain.

For a moment, Su Lei's heartbeat almost froze.

A flash of lightning flashed outside the window, and the cold white light swept across the narrow house, reflecting her face into yin and yang.

"Si Lei, can you hear me?"

"……can."

Victoria's voice was a little hoarse, but her tone was obviously full of expectation: "What's the matter, the signal on your side seems to be not very good? Did you find any new clues?"

"Uh...I, I found out..." Su Lei lowered his head and propped his forehead with the other hand, "I found out that the instruction manual with my reimbursement code seems to be lost. Do you have an electronic version?"

"What's wrong with you?" Victoria was a little skeptical, "Of course there is an instruction manual, and I can transfer it to your email right now... But it's not an 'important thing', is it?"

Su Lei opened his eyes, "Sorry, I mean... the case report from my side may not be delivered to you as expected."

"why?"

"I... something happened to my family, I need to move the deadline back two days."

There was a chuckle from Victoria on the other end of the phone, "That's nothing, the two-day delay is completely fine, do you need any other help?"

"No, it shouldn't be necessary. If... If I encounter any difficulties, I will let you know."

"it is good."

After putting down the phone, Su Lei suddenly felt exhausted like a collapse.

She was sitting about three or four steps away from Hesta—the questions that had puzzled her in the past suddenly had answers, and the details that sometimes contradicted and sometimes connected were finally all right at this moment s position.

This feeling is very strange and complicated. Su Lei can't tell whether it is more frustration or more enlightenment. Too many things have happened in less than three months, and some unspeakable things have been left on her. An obliterated imprint.Some pictures and sounds appeared in her mind like distant accompaniment——

"The universal law against all misfortunes, do you know what it is? You don't have to have any sympathy for others, and you don't have to expect the world to change. Instead, you just need to bring the wrongdoer to justice, or find someone Scapegoats...then when justice is served, people will be safe again."

Su Lei pulled his hair and clenched his hands tightly.

"Before asking whether a certain principle is followed by torture, at least first look at who formulated the principle, who made the decision, and how it was implemented in actual operation..."

Stella's always piercing eyes seemed to be right in front of him. When Su Lei closed his eyes, he recalled the story of Alecto and the gloomy corners of Roon Palace.

Those broken white bones, the strong blue light of luminol in the secret room, the crying woman outside the Golden Crow Palace, and the sea of ​​golden gardenias placed outside the ruins at dusk...

Stella smiled and turned around from the co-pilot's seat.

"When people believe in a story, the order portrayed by the story continues."

Su Lei's throat moved slightly.

A few minutes later, she dialed another number, and after several waiting tones, Chiba's voice rang from the other end of the phone.

"Hey?"

"Are you comfortable talking now?"

"It's not very convenient. I'm going to board the plane in 2 minutes——I still have tasks in the tenth district tomorrow. Let's make a long story short about what happened. I'll see if I can help."

"Jane Hester is here with me now. She's in a very bad condition. She's got a head injury. She'd better go to the doctor right away."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Qianye spoke again with a suspicious tone.

"...Excuse me? Who did you say was with you?"

"Jane Hesta, your ward," Su Lei whispered, "Or do you want me to continue calling her 'Eureka'?"
