Why it never ends

Chapter 406 Dopulus's Foot

"Then see what he wants to do," Hesta replied. "Anyway, the telephones in every room on the ship are easy to find."

Li Ke shook his head and put his hands on his hips, "... Forget it, as long as you are happy."

"It's getting late." Su Lei glanced at his watch, "Go back and rest, I have to go to the medical room to meet the doctor over there."

Hesta grabbed Su Lei's hand.

Su Lei was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"

"Is it an urgent meeting?"

"...I can't say it, but it's just this time," Si Lei tried to withdraw his hand, but found that the other party didn't intend to let go at all, "Jane?"

"You have to go back with us."

"……why?"

"You need sleep so badly," Hesta whispered, "You don't even know how bad you look right now..."

Su Lei made a puzzled expression, she looked at herself reflected in the glass window of the corridor, "Is there any?"

"Of course there is... Is this the only thing you have to do this morning?"

"Well, more than—"

"Then I can't let you go." Hesta's hand gripped even tighter, "If you continue like this, you will definitely have health problems..."

Su Lei was dragged a step forward by Hesta, and she was stunned: "How did you become so strong?"

Hesta was also startled, and then let go of his hand.

Su Lei moved his wrist a little, and smiled at Hesta, "It seems that you are recovering quickly."

Looking at Su Lei's face, Hesta realized that the other party obviously didn't intend to rest at all.

In fact, after thinking about it, I know that Si Lei's decision must be exhausted, trying to find the instigator of everything... She already has a lot of details that can be scrutinized.

Hesta felt tired again, and she sat back in her wheelchair without saying a word, her face that was still full of vitality just now turned dull again in an instant.

The three of them came to the elevator entrance on the west side, there were two elevators here, Su Lei and Li Ge pressed the up and down waiting buttons respectively, and began to wait.

"Don't worry about me, I must find a place to sleep at noon," Su Lei broke the silence, and she looked at Hesta, "Fortunately, you are staying in Chiba's room, so I can rest assured. I can't even come back to change shifts... Thank you Lico for your hard work."

"It's okay." Li Ke stared at the indicator light of the elevator slowly rising, "Most of the time, it's not hard..."

Hesta turned his head sideways: "How do you plan to catch the perpetrator this time?"

"Passive defense is useless. The only way is to find out what the murderer is doing, and then walk in front of her."

"You said 'her'?" Hesta whispered, "You don't know the gender of this person."

"I really don't know, but I feel like she's a woman... What do you think?"

"...I don't know either," Hesta withdrew his gaze, "but your intuition seems to have always been accurate, maybe... it is indeed."

Both elevators went up from the second floor to the second floor, and then stopped there.

Li Ke suddenly remembered something: "Have you ever been to District [-], Police Officer Su Lei?"

"...I went there on a business trip a few years ago when I was working, what's the matter?"

"Did the people in the workstation over there tell you about 'Dopoulos' soles'?"

"what is that?"

The elevator on the left resumes its upward movement.

"More than 40 years ago, there was a mercury needle in District [-] named Dopulos. When she first entered the base, she found a mole with a diameter of about three millimeters on the sole of her left foot—you know, this kind of mole that grows on the base. Moles on the soles of the feet and palms are more prone to lesions because they are often squeezed and rubbed.

"So at that time her doctor told her, 'You need to pay attention to the size of moles on the soles of your feet every six months. If one day it exceeds [-]mm, we must take some action'. After hearing this, Dopoulos was very nervous. During the years at the base, she had to measure the size of moles on the soles of her feet every week, and solemnly recorded them in a special notebook.

"Fortunately, three years have passed, and the mole has not changed...until she participated in the battle against chelate for the first time."

Rico's narration temporarily stopped.

"... She found that her mole was more than five millimeters?" Su Lei asked.

"No, she lost her entire left foot in that fight, and then she started using prosthetics."

Si Lei couldn't help but laugh, and Li Ke also laughed.

"Why did you tell me this story?" Si Lei asked.

"Well, I suddenly remembered..." Li Ge looked at her, "Don't make yourself too tired, especially now, every day is an accident, you can't plan it."

At this moment, the elevator door opened with a "ding" in front of the three of them.

"Especially as Jane said, you shouldn't sacrifice sleep time. If you don't sleep well, you can't do anything well." Lico turned the direction of the wheelchair and pushed Hesta into the elevator, "See you later! "

"See you."

Su Lei waved his hand and watched the elevator doors close again.Her elevator on the other side also arrived at this time, and Si Lei stepped into the car, still thinking about Li Ke's story.

"The soles of Dopulus' feet..."

Su Lei leaned against the wall behind him, looked at his haggard self in the mirror in front of him, and suddenly remembered the motto behind Hester's "Instructions for Boarding a Ship":

Our metaphors are guiding our journey.

The elevator door opened again, Su Lei didn't continue to think deeply, she pulled herself together and stepped into the corridor outside the car again.

……

"Rico, let's go outside for a walk." Hesta said suddenly in the elevator.

"Don't you want to go back to catch up on sleep?"

"I just... don't think about it again," Hesta replied in a low voice, "You said yesterday that you would wait for my key card to come out to find inspiration—we might as well go around now."

"Where are you going?"

Hesta thought for a while: "Let's go to the open deck first."

The sea is calm today, but there is no sun in the sky, and the light on the sea is extremely dazzling. Both of them put on sunglasses and moved along the side of the ship.

The two stopped on the shaded side of a building to blow the air. Hesta stretched her legs and slowly slid halfway down from the wheelchair. She turned her head and looked at Li Ke: "...Why do you think Su Lei is so energetic? Those on the boat She wants to take care of what people have nothing to do with her."

"If you want to control others, you can control them." Li Ke sat directly on the ground, "Anna choked you so much last night, didn't you also choose 'rescue people'? And you also managed to save a time bomb with evil intentions... ..."

Hesta's waist straightened up, "I'm because—"

"If you want to save it, you don't need to explain it." Li Ke laughed, "But you really surprised me this morning—how did you make sure that Gobelin had the "Guide" in his hand, and you used Agnes To cheat him?"
