Why it never ends

Chapter 349 Wake Up
In the middle of the night, the boat sailed through the black water, leaving a foamy wake.

The restless passengers slept quietly in the cabin with the lights off, and no one talked.

Hesta slept on his side with a calm and stable expression.

That night, she dreamed of a firebird flying over the glacier. It spread its flaming wings and swooped down from the high snow mountain to the green lake at the foot of the mountain.

In early summer, cherry-sized plums are clustered on the branches, and the fruits on the sunny side gradually turn red, and the mountain wind blows through them, blowing a wave of leaves.

There is an ethereal voice singing in the wind, and the singing is rushing along with the stream, intermittently, as if calling someone's name.

"Anesse..."

"Perhaps the best option is to return home now—"

"'Shengming' will not return."

"Free... river..."

The firebird in her dream stopped flying. She hung in the air and looked back, trying to find the source of the sound, but the world around her became noisy.

"I think this discrepancy is alarming and suggests that at least one side will behave more predatorily."

"This is just your inference! What looting, we simply—"

"Dear... Suffering..."

"Shall we go for a drink together?"

"I never drink."

"Anesse..."

"The thorn is an eternal roadblock, as long as you want to move forward, it must catch fire."

"Anesse..."

"You misunderstood me."

"But it's really interesting ... total, polar opposite misunderstanding."

"Anesse..."

In his sleep, Firebird finally came to the end of the snow-capped mountain. The lake here was completely frozen, and the ice surface was light blue, like a huge cage.

The winds here are no longer gentle, they bring ice and snow like sharp blades.The firebird waved its wings with difficulty, and the vision in front of it became mottled and rough—all the scenes seemed to be separated by a layer of frosted glass, making it impossible to see clearly.

But even so, she still found that there seemed to be a woman frozen under the ice.

The man's body was as huge as the mountains, hanging upright in the frozen lake.Her raised cheeks were serene and serene, and the long hair behind her was still burning like a flame.

The Firebird flew to her.

The wind and snow in the mountains and forests suddenly froze, and a sad voice came from a distance.

"When... will you wake up?"

Hesta shivered unconsciously and opened his eyes.

All the mountain scenery disappeared, and she looked warily at the strange room in front of her: wallpaper with wood texture, completely sealed transparent glass windows, a wooden table with drawers and a large wardrobe, a door leading to the balcony... …

The sunlight came in from the window, and it seemed that it was already afternoon. Hesta looked down at his watch—indeed, it was almost two o'clock.

"You're finally awake." A voice came from across the room.

Hesta's vision was still blurry when she just opened her eyes, but she recognized the person almost immediately.

"If we were to rate our feelings on a scale of ten, with 1 being terrible and 10 being fantastic, how would you rate yourself right now?"

"Rico...?" Hesta called softly.

Rico pulled a chair and sat on the head of Hesta's bed, "Are you okay?"

Hesta laughed silently, she looked into Rico's eyes, "...Long time no see."

"No way, didn't we just have a video last week?"

"Then how... the same?"

The two held each other's hands tightly.

"By the way... Turan..." Hesta looked behind Rico - there was nothing there.

In the gap of this moment, Hesta finally remembered that Turan's plane was last night, and of course it was impossible for her to board the ship together.

"She's gone, the boat left after six o'clock last night." Li Ke said with a smile, "She wanted to say goodbye to you, but the front foot shook you awake, and the back foot fell asleep again."

Hesta breathed a sigh of relief, and she felt a pain after a while, especially in her neck. When she wanted to sit up, it seemed that someone had beaten her around her shoulders, and she couldn't exert any strength.

"I know... I missed it again," Hesta looked at the ceiling with some dejection, "I always miss it..."

"But she recorded a video for you, and I'll show it to you later?"

Hesta was startled, "...OK."

Rico brought a glass of water and put it on her bedside together with Hesta's medicine box. Hesta stiffly counted the pills and swallowed them bit by bit.

Li Ke looked at his friend's movements, "Your neck is sore?"

"Ah."

"I'll press it for you."

"thanks……"

Lico supported Hesta to get up with difficulty, and with the force of her thumb, Hesta let out a "hiss" in pain.

"Am I hitting too hard?"

"No," Hesta frowned, "... just right."

"If you want to blame, blame that policeman named Su Lei. She pushed you to drink last night, and you were lying like this all the way." Li Ke raised his head and bent his neck at a weird angle, "I just fell asleep yesterday. Say, you can bear it when you wake up today."

"Don't blame her... Su Lei is very good, she helped me a lot..."

"May I ask you something?" Rico suddenly interrupted Hesta's words.

"Huh? You ask..."

"Assassin, is that you?"

Hesta fell into silence, and after a while, she raised her head, "...Why do you ask that?"

"I didn't think about you at first, until Roger died," Rico stopped his hands, her bright eyes were smiling, "It's you, right?"

Hesta looked away, "I...can't talk about this issue..."

She heard a long breath above her head.

Rico's chin lightly knocked on the top of Hesta's head.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hesta smiled and shook his head.

The two chatted about other topics, and Lico handed the camera to Hesta. In the picture, Turan was standing on the deck at the bow of the ship. Behind her, the sea surface, which was dyed red gold by the sunset, was shimmering. .

"I'm leaving, Jane. Because of some formalities, I still have to go back to the first district, and then go to the research institute in the sixth district from there. If everything goes well, I will officially start the new district this time next week. Already working.

"Your trip seems too strange, but with Miss Qianba, Li Ge, and Police Officer Su Lei here, there shouldn't be any problem.

"But you must remember to take your medicines on time, you must, you must take your medicines on time, okay? I know that the side effects of medicines may make you a little uncomfortable, but they are making you better slowly. I will tell you the rules of reducing medicines. If you leave Si Lei and Li Ge, they will help me supervise you. Don't worry about this kind of thing, take your time, it will be faster.

"Also, no matter what happens, you must take the initiative to tell them, don't force it by yourself, if you encounter the kind—"

The picture began to shake, and Turan frowned, "Don't laugh! What's so funny... Hold the camera!"

Rico's voice-over laughs louder.

"You nag!"
