Why it never ends

Chapter 374 Acquaintances
"I'll ask you one last time." Lico slowed down his voice, "Are you sure you don't need help now—"

Agnes pulled the door hard, but the expected "slam" didn't happen, and the door's damper began to take effect. Although the veins on her forehead were bulging, the door closed at an extremely slow pace.

Hesta and Rico stood quietly outside looking at Agnes through the glass door until she ran back to her room without looking back.

"Why is this person so angry..." muttering, Li Ke turned his head and pushed Hesta forward again. When the eyes of the two met the eyes of other onlookers, those people all retreated behind the door.

"Are you sure we really want to go back?" Li Ke lowered his voice, "She looks like she is obviously in trouble."

"I suspect she'll be in more trouble if we don't go."

"Do you recognize that voice?"

"A little familiar."

The two walked towards the stairwell on the fifth deck tacitly. They remembered that there was a landline fixed on the wall at the entrance and exit of each staircase.They can contact Bishop's Restaurant directly by phone.Fortunately, the other end of the phone didn't keep them waiting for too long—the crew on duty at the service desk responded quickly.

"Hello, we are passengers on the fifth floor. We are in a hurry now. We want to find Officer Su Lei... Well, okay." Lico turned to Hesta and whispered, "She went to find someone for us."

Hesta stared intently at the red-lit talk button on the phone.

Half a minute later, another voice came from the other end of the phone. This time Li Ke frowned, "She's not in the restaurant? Then do you know where she is now? Okay, okay... well, let's go to the captain's cabin ...well, thanks, bye-"

"Wait a minute!" Hesta suddenly thought of something, she pulled the phone line, "Mayer—ask her if Mayer is here?"

Lico described Meyer's appearance to the other end of the phone again, and after a while, a young female voice came from the receiver.

"Hi, I'm Mayer, may I ask you—"

This time, Hesta took the microphone: "Your sister is in danger, come back immediately."

After speaking, she immediately hung up the phone.

"Do you have anything on you that can lock the door?" Hesta looked at Rico, "A business card case, a water glass, or—"

"The book in your arms?"

Hesta was startled, she looked down at the books she had just borrowed, and suddenly realized that Anna's practice of never lending documents and materials can be said to be quite correct.

She quickly apologized to Anna from the bottom of her heart, and replied, "Yes, this thing is just right."

The two opened the door of the escape passage, and they couldn't directly see the apartment where Agnes lived, but they could directly see the elevator entrance.

"Mayer will come over in a while, and you can lean this book against the crack of the door while she is running in—"

"You still need to say it?"

In silence, the two saw the glow light above the elevator doors rapidly drop from seven to six, then five, and with a "ding," Meyer rushed out of the car and ran to her room, panting.

Li Ke followed her from a distance, and only started to run faster when he saw her take out the room card and open the door.

Meyer didn't pay attention to what was behind her at all. She anxiously called Agnes's name, and didn't notice Lico's movements at all—the three-centimeter-thick "Male Awakening" just happened to lie between the bolt and the buckle. Each of them leaned against the outer wall of the cabin, listening intently to the movement inside.

Hesta turned the wheelchair and came to the elevator, pretending to be waiting for the elevator.

There was silence in the corridor.

At first, Rico could still hear Meyer's emotional questioning, but with Agnes' reassurance, Meyer quickly calmed down.

There was another sound of door lock opening and closing in the suite, and then, Lico heard a man spitting, and when he was sure that the man was walking towards the corridor, Lico moved his fingers and silently finished the work. Ready to fight.

The man absently pressed the handle from the inside, only to realize that the door was actually open, and the book that had been placed vertically fell down, so he picked it up curiously.

""Male Awakening"?" The man read in a low voice, he brushed off the cover of the book in surprise, and then casually flipped through a few pages of the book... It was indeed the right book.

The man closed the door and looked at the situation in the corridor left and right—the left was empty, and the right...the red-haired Jane Hesta was sitting alone in front of the elevator.

The man suddenly laughed, and lazily shouted into the distance: "Hey, isn't this who?"

Hester didn't look back, but she recognized the man: Will Bree.

"Good afternoon." Bree walked behind Hesta. "What are you doing?"

"Wait for the elevator and go eat."

"Why are you alone, Miss Rico, she always stays with you—"

"Mr Bree," interrupted Hester, "how come you share a flat with Sister Agnes?"

"Can't you?"

"I saw that when the crew divided the cabins, they deliberately reserved several suites for female passengers. In theory, you shouldn't come out from there."

"Ha, what do you mean, do you think I forced my way in? We discussed this morning and readjusted the room—most people have adjusted, but I am not the only one." Bree smiled, "Of course, you If you're not here, Si Lei has decided for you, so you can stay the same... Where's Li Ke?"

"...She went after a suspicious person." Hesta said calmly, "I'll wait for her here."

Bree suddenly grabbed the "Male Awakening" in his hand, "Suspicious?"

"Well, a sneaky person in the hallway. We heard movement in your apartment when we came back. Agnes said it was her playing a movie, and then we heard footsteps outside—"

"It should be Meyer," Bree put in.

"That's not necessarily the case," Hesta said casually. "In short, we were a little worried, so we came out to check again, only to find a suspicious person squatting outside your apartment, and we don't know what he was doing."

For a while, Bree had some guesses, and he subconsciously hid the "Male Awakening" behind him to prevent Hesta from seeing it.

"You read that right?" Bree asked.

"We'll know when Rico comes back." Hesta said softly, "Do you want to use the elevator?"

"I just slept," said Bree with a smile. "Although I'm a little tired now, I'm not worried that I won't be able to eat if I go late..."

"Do you want to use the elevator?" Hesta asked again, "If necessary, you can go first."

"I mean I'm not in a hurry," Bree murmured. "Leaving you here alone...is dangerous. You need someone to protect you, don't you?"

Hesta suddenly laughed.

"Mr Bree," she looked up, "have you been looking for trouble with somebody lately?"
