Why it never ends

Chapter 357
After realizing that Chiba was a stump who couldn't communicate at all, the crowd flocked to Loboglier again, and Bree stood in front of the old man, calling for everyone to calm down first.

Amidst the noisy voices, Qianye walked towards Hesta, and Su Lei and the other thorny monks looked over the crowd and followed her closely.I saw Qianye changed her previous indifference and contempt, squatted down, and talked with Hesta who was sitting on the chair.

This sight really surprised the Briar Monk.

Chiba briefly asked a few questions, and Hesta shook her head, nodded, and answered quickly; after a while, Chiba got up to leave, Hesta grabbed her sleeve, and the two came again We chatted for four or five sentences once in a while.

Since Qianye had always turned her back to them, the thorn monks couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but judging from Hesta's reaction, Qianye obviously showed enough patience—even when they parted, Qianye Ye also patted Hesta on the shoulder.

After the conversation over there was over, Chiba yelled "Otto" loudly, and the bearded captain immediately left Robo-Grille. He squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, and followed Chiba again.

No one dared to step forward to stop them, and everyone could only watch helplessly as Qianye led the captain away.

The two walked in the corridor on the sixth deck, through the glass curtain wall, Chiba saw the black sea outside the window.

"How long before the ship enters the high seas?"

"It's coming soon, maybe less than half an hour... By the way, Ms. Chiba—"

"Chiba!"

The two turned their heads and saw Si Lei chasing after him.

"Go back to the cockpit first," Chiba ordered, "don't come out after entering the cabin. Someone will look for you at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"...Okay." The captain's throat moved, he looked towards the direction of the elevator, hesitantly said, "This road... this road, there will be no..."

"Don't worry." Chiba replied expressionlessly, "Let's go."

The captain walked towards the elevator step by step, and Qianye stood there watching him disappear into the elevator room. She turned her head with a smile when only she and Su Lei were left in the corridor, "What's the matter, Si Lei?"

"What you said just now is not serious, is it?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Those passengers, and... at least 200 crew members of the Shengming ship, all of them are directly exposed to the threat of chelate? You don't do anything?"

"...I seem to have given a countermeasure just now?"

"Does it mean that everyone can start taking medicine after the infection is confirmed? What kind of response is this!" Si Lei said sharply, "Even if the Shengming cannot return, arrange other ships to pick up people, or let these people board lifeboats and return to the port. It can be done, right? With a mercury needle like you staring at it, I don’t believe—”

"I'm glad you trust my abilities so much." Qianye raised his lips, "But it can't be done, the chelate this time may be very dangerous, and it's a great coincidence that we happened to be on an isolated ship It is impossible for me to put other residents on land at risk of infection for the sake of hundreds of people on board, this is the most basic arithmetic problem."

"What about your plan? How do you plan to capture the chelate, and how will the crew and passengers give you an early warning if they are in distress—"

"How can you say that?"

"But it can reassure others for the time being! Revealing some of your progress, even if it's fake, is much better than sending out two threats now and then walking away."

Chiba narrowed her eyes, "...so you are here to teach me how to work, officer?"

"Someone died! Qianye! Someone died tragically at the Grace Theater tonight!" Su Lei clenched his fists, "Why are you so indifferent? Try to feel how difficult it is for ordinary people to fear now? Since you want to persist To sail, you have to act accordingly—”

"As a mercury needle, my duty is to destroy chelates, not to be a mother for others."

"but--"

"Let's get to the bottom of it with you, Si Lei, I'm on a mission this trip, and the only person I need to ensure safety is Bo Shanfu himself. Send him to District [-] safely, my The mission is over."

"...So you don't care about other people's life or death?"

Qianye lowered her head and laughed, she put her arms on her hips, and took a step closer to Si Lei, "What kind of angry words are these? Of course I care about the lives of other people, such as you, Jane, and many others."

"People who have nothing to do with you, you let them fend for themselves?"

"Then what should we do, everyone has his own destiny, Si Lei."

Su Lei's eyes widened in disbelief, and she took two steps back, "You should be ashamed of what you said..."

"I'm obviously more shocked by your innocence." Chiba lowered her eyes, "Of course, I'm also worried."

"Why are the mercury needles fighting against chelates... Isn't it to protect the lives of the public?" Su Lei's hands were trembling slightly, "I can understand if you have to make some choices... What you are doing now is simply allowing the situation to develop in a serious direction!"

"Then what do you want to do, officer?"

"Chiba Masaki," Si Lei couldn't bear it any longer, "Who are you showing your arrogance to?"

"I'm clearly asking you calmly," Qianye spread her hands, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"First of all, clarify what everyone can do now, and tell them that in all kinds of extreme situations-"

"It's useless. If an extreme situation happens, it's useless for these people to do anything." Chiba's eyes moved up slightly, and she looked at the wall lamp not far away. It has no effect at all.”

She looked back, "Generally speaking, I don't care."

"you……"

"However, if you want to make up some nonsense to make them feel safe, you can. Write me a plan, and I will cooperate as appropriate. Although I am very busy during this time, I will take a serious look at what you handed over. "

After all, Qianye's usual smile appeared on Qianye's face again, with a chilling determination in the smile.

"that's it."

Qianye waved at Si Lei, and then disappeared into the elevator.

Su Lei stood there for a while, when she turned around, she saw several passengers standing not far away with complicated expressions.

They looked at Si Lei, hesitating how to comfort him.

……

"We must save ourselves!"

Robeau Grillet stood in the center of Bishop's restaurant, and everyone listened in silence.

"Haven't we already made up our minds to rely only on ourselves? How hyped the mercury needle is, actually? I don't mean to offend, but these people are as much tax thieves as the police in Habitable Land— — We worked so hard to support them, expecting them to stand up at critical moments, and the result? The result is that more people lie on top of us and suck their blood!"
