Why it never ends

Chapter 423 Stupid Questions

The thorn monks standing quietly on the edge of the crowd were still restrained by Bernhard's subordinates. After hearing Gobelin's words, some of them bowed their heads and sobbed.

Two soldiers stepped forward and opened the door of the restaurant, and the crowd looked towards the exit.

"Go back, everyone." Gobelin said again.

One person raised his hand, "We... can we see Mr. Robeau Griller again?"

"Now is not the time," replied Goebbels, "when the time is right, he will come to see you... responsibility... a heavy responsibility."

The crowd sighed, and everyone finally started to walk out. Many people walked up to Gobelin and said goodbye to him.

There were fewer and fewer people in the restaurant, and René and his companions began to fidget and look around.The departing people bowed their heads solemnly, and no one responded to his gaze.

"Ma'am..." Rene murmured behind Hesta, "we now..."

Hesta made a silent movement, and René stopped immediately.

Not far away, Bernhard escorted several thorn monks to Gobelin, "What do you want to do?"

"Let it go."

"They pointed a gun at you just now, so let it go?"

"Let go." Gobelin repeated, and he glanced at these young people, "They're just too scared."

The soldiers let go of their hands, and several thorn monks stood there in a daze. They didn't seem to think that forgiveness would come so easily.Anger dissipated from their eyes, their lips trembled, and their gasping voices couldn't stop.Gobelin walked past them, patted their arms one by one, and then left without looking back.

Rico seized the opportunity and pushed Hesta's wheelchair to go out. When he was about to go out, Hesta suddenly turned around and said "Hello" to the thorny monks.

Several people raised their heads and looked at Hesta blankly.

"Don't be too desperate." Hesta said softly, the tone was exactly the same as that of Gobelin just now, "On the night of boarding the first day, I also entered this restaurant with my luggage."

The expressions of several thorn monks experienced a subtle continuous change in an instant, and this was completely caught by Hesta - she really saw it, just this sentence without any promise made these few There is a stream of life in the eyes of a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

They stepped forward involuntarily, as if they wanted to say something to Hesta, but they were frightened away by Rico's look.

Rico pushed Hesta to leave Bishop's restaurant quickly, leaving only these young people who had already been frightened to death in the restaurant.

……

"Ma'am... ma'am!" René hurried up, "What do you suggest we do now?"

Hesta in the wheelchair raised his head from his contemplation, "Go back first, just like Goeblin suggested."

"but--"

"So many people disappeared together today, there will not be no reason." Hesta whispered, "If today's victim has appeared, then everyone will be safe in the future-of course you will be the same."

"...You're right." Rene clasped his fingers pitifully, "but what about tomorrow? If this continues, sooner or later, bad luck will come to us..."

"So, I have something for you to do," Hesta said briskly, "It's very important."

"what?"

"Have your rooms been adjusted after boarding the ship?" Hesta raised her head, "I remember that Bree's room was recently transferred to Sister Agnes's suite."

"Correct."

"Can you get a list of all the people who live in the same suite?"

"This..." Rene frowned and thought for a while, "The six of us live in four different suites. The personnel list of these four suites is easy to make, but the rest..."

"Four sets are enough, and the rest can be sorted out with the method of elimination." Hesta kept paying attention to the emergency passage not far away—she saw Goebez with her own eyes when she was leaving the restaurant. Lin walked in with Bernhard, who could almost keep up now, "I'll look for you at night, you guys hurry up."

Just as Rico was about to push Hesta forward, René caught up again.

"Wait, ma'am, I haven't finished my words-of course, we will try our best to complete the tasks you taught us today, but as I said just now, even if we are safe today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow—the next two months of sailing, we can't be so lucky every time!"

Hesta suppressed the impatience in her heart, she raised her head coldly, "What do you want, tell me."

"Your current residence was arranged by that Chiba lady, right?" Rene said bluntly, "I don't know...whether she can help us—"

René's words stopped abruptly, because he noticed the change in the expression on Hesta's face, and in just a moment, the little friendliness in her eyes disappeared.

"Look at me, Blumber," Hester looked at him, "do I look like an old hen?"

"No, no...you must have misunderstood something—"

"You want a completely safe room," Hesta interrupted him again, "but tell me, after you move in, how many times do you plan to come out a day? At that time, where will you go to find out the news and be aware of your surroundings? The change?"

Rene's throat moved.

"If you don't have any useful news for me," Hesta retracted his jaw slightly, his gaze became more stern, "why should I protect you?"

"...I, I see—"

"Don't let me hear this kind of stupid question a second time." Hesta's expression returned to calm, "Otherwise I will question whether I have read the wrong person."

"Okay Ms. Hester, I totally get it, Ms. Hester, I just..."

"Go." Hesta looked up at René, with a faint smile in his eyes again, "The trouble at Bishop's restaurant just now, everyone knows that we are cooperating, and you don't have to put your attitude on others Too low, understand."

"Of course, I understand, you can rest assured of that..."

Rene put his feet together, bowed slightly towards Hesta, and quickly disappeared at the other end of the corridor with a few people behind him.

Li Ke and Hesta watched these people leave, and quickly chased in the direction Gobelin left.

They listened to the voices in the corridors on each floor, and quickly locked on to the team of Bernhard and Goebbels going down to the open deck. Before leaving the hull building, Rico suddenly grabbed Hesta's shoulder.

"I just remembered that you haven't taken the medicine this morning, and I have water on me, why don't you—"

"No rush." ​​Hesta said softly, "I know what state I'll be in next, and eating now doesn't make much sense."
