Why it never ends

Chapter 387 Attacked
Hesta looked at the introduction board on the side, on which was written "Portrait: Sleeping Alecto".

"Do you still remember that myth? Dehe's eleven daughters, that is, Alecto's sisters, were exiled by Urba in the Sea of ​​Nether, flying and roaring all day long, setting off... monstrous waves. Voyager Always fearful of being buried in the belly of a fish, they yearn for and fear the storm, so they hang the bust of Alecto on the bow as a warning to the eleven witches who stir up trouble..."

"What is the warning?" Hesta looked up at the ivory statue, "'Your sister is in my hands'? Or 'We are with Alecto'?"

"Who knows then."

"...This is so strange," Hesta said softly, "If I were the eleven daughters of the sea and saw this statue from a distance, wouldn't my normal reaction be to rush to the ship immediately? Wait until I find it It’s just a puppet, all my anger is going to be vented on this ship... A sleeping Alecto can’t protect the ship.”

Anna also looked at Alecto's sleeping face, "It may also be, 'Don't provoke me, don't forget why you have come to this point'."

Hesta frowned. She was about to ask a question when she suddenly heard a huge explosion and the ground trembled.

The three of them immediately came to the corridor near the window, and there were some panicked voices in the distance. People were shouting "fire, fire", and the sound was about 500 meters away.

Thick black smoke floated from the helipad towards the bow of the ship, and the violent explosion caused the ground of the helipad to be blown through, revealing the unmanned viewing cafe below.Crew members continued to evacuate down from all decks-apparently, every passenger on the cruise ship felt the shock.

"Explosion..." Hesta looked at the explosion point incredulously, "Are these people serious?"

"It's all crazy."

About half a minute later, a man's voice approached from the entrance of the museum, "Is anyone still there, it's on fire, evacuate! Evacuate!"

Rico quickly turned the direction of Hesta's wheelchair.

"Where do you two want to go now? Anyway, don't think about going back to your room for now."

"Let's find a place to hide for a while." Hesta looked towards the aisle with "No Passing" not far away, "Over there."

……

Near the tarmac, the pre-prepared firefighting team has aligned the water pipes in the direction of the fire, ready to control the fire at any time.

Gobelin looked at the scene of the incident, and from time to time supplemented it with a telescope to observe the details - Chiba never appeared near the accident site from the beginning to the end.

This is really a good omen, which shows that Qianye is more or less suspicious of the riots happening outside at this moment.

The only thing that needs to be dealt with next is Lico next to Hesta.

……

"It seems that they are all prepared." Li Ke leaned on the ground, "There are at least eight people."

At the moment, they are hiding in the simple office on the second floor of the Aviation Museum. The desks here are full of paperwork, but there is no one here today.

Hesta's face was serious, "...if they were all thorn monks, they would basically be out in force, but what do they want, don't they know that you are here too?"

"Maybe he was bewitched by Roborgrille, thinking that he could really take advantage of the advantages of numbers," Li Ke smiled, "Especially because you and Anna are both handicapped."

Hesta pinched the armrest of the wheelchair anxiously.

"Anna, where is Zero now, why did she leave you alone?"

"Zero has something to do on her own," Anna replied.

"Is there any way I can contact her?"

Li Ke turned his head, "What do you want to do?"

"Quickly let Ling come over and pick Anna up." Hesta whispered, "It's too dangerous for her to follow us like this."

Rico tilted her head with a puzzled expression, she stretched out her hand and drew a line on her chest - Zero's head was almost there.

"...Are you talking about that little girl?"

"Ah."

"You're so confused, Jane, how can you let a child come over at this time... Anna didn't receive it by then, and something happened to her."

"She's just—" Hesta raised her head, just in time to meet Anna's meaningful gaze, "...forget it."

Rico still listened carefully to the ground.

"Wait... They stopped, it seems like no one is walking towards us... It seems to be arguing?" Li Ke frowned, "I seem to hear a girl's voice..."

"Girls?"

"...is it Agnes? It looks a bit like her," Rico listened for a while, "yes, it must be Agnes, she looks like a dolphin when her voice is high-pitched..."

"What are you arguing about?"

"Can't hear clearly." Li Ke whispered, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

As soon as this whisper came out, she and Hesta shook their heads at the same time—in any case, the three of them must not be separated at this moment.

"But we can't stay here forever," Hesta looked around, "we still have to find a way to evacuate to another place..."

Before Hesta could finish his sentence, a mournful roar came from downstairs. It was a mixture of anger and fear, followed by a series of dense gunshots—multiple rounds of automatic rifle fire.Even though every gun here is equipped with a suppressor, this sudden shot is still loud.

Ten seconds later, the gunfire stopped, and all the quarrels stopped. Hesta and Rico's eyes widened at the same time. To some extent, they could imagine what happened downstairs at this moment.

"... Can you still hear Agnes' voice?"

Rico listened attentively, but in the end he could only shake his head in vain.

"The crowd dispersed." Li Ke listened, "but they didn't go far, they seemed to start to separate..."

Recalling what happened in the cabin corridor at noon today, Hesta felt a little belatedly, "There should be a personal grievance between her and Bree, and it may endanger Mayer's safety..."

"Shh, someone might be coming up."

Rico jumped up from the ground and quickly moved the wheelchairs of Hesta and Anna to the wall away from the door.

Hesta also heard the footsteps of the two—the two were not vigilant and their steps were loose, but they always maintained a tandem posture and cooperated with each other.

"Is anyone there?" they asked.

No one answered.

One of them walked to the door, and through the crack of the door, Rico saw the shadow cast by that person's feet.She glanced sideways at the open window not far away, and moved her fingers lightly - if the two of them threw something in, she would immediately pick it up and throw it out of the window.

The man outside the door tried to twist the doorknob, and after realizing that the door was locked, he took two steps back, and Li Ge immediately arched his back...

However, what happened next was really unimaginable-only two "bang bang" gunshots were heard, and the man outside the door screamed and fell to the ground.His companion ran over in a panic to ask what was wrong, but the man was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word.

In the room, Rico narrowed his eyes.

This man...couldn't be shooting directly at the door lock with a gun.
