Why it never ends

Chapter 434 Gamblers
Zero was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking.

"But Ms. Chiba is always... friendly to you?"

"Yes," Anna replied, "and this is exactly what I deserve."

"...I don't understand."

"That means you have a better understanding of human beings," Anna smiled. "It's our normal state not to understand."

……

The time was gradually pointing to nine o'clock, and Hesta looked at the time - there were only nearly three hours left until the end of the day, but today's dead hadn't appeared yet.

Rico's dinner plate was already empty, she didn't eat too much, and was always vigilantly watching the changes around her.

"Are you in a hurry to go back?" Gobelin asked.

"Yes, I have other things to do next." Hesta pushed the wheelchair back, "Thank you for your frankness tonight... I will think about some problems."

"Compared to us, you have plenty of time to think about it." Gobelin stood up, "Actually, I have been looking for an opportunity to talk to you from the very beginning... It's just that I haven't found the right time. Speaking of the quarrel this morning, I prefer to sit down and chat like now, I believe there is nothing that cannot be communicated, if we can reach an understanding on more things, then—"

"See you tomorrow." Hesta smiled, "I also believe in communication."

"……See you tomorrow."

Rico also left the seat, and before she left, she reached out and touched the pocket of the coat again—the list of personnel handed in by René in the evening was still there, but neither she nor Hesta had time to read it.

Leaving Bishop's Restaurant, Li Ke couldn't help but look back, the door not far away was still brightly lit.

"This guy is really good. After chatting for more than an hour, he didn't have a single useful word."

"He is probably also testing us to see if we have noticed anything."

"Do you think Chiba will know about the fifteenth district?"

"...I probably know."

"Very good, I want to hear her talk too."

"No, Lico, let's not mention this matter yet."

Li Ge was surprised for a moment: "Then you asked Qianye to meet tonight because you want to..."

Before the words fell, a rush of footsteps in front of them made the two of them raise their heads at the same time. The rhythm of these steps was very familiar to them——

"Officer Su Lei?"

Su Lei, who had been gone for a day and a night, suddenly appeared. Her eyes were sunken and her expression was serious. When she saw Li Ke, there was a slight gleam in Su Lei's eyes. in front of people.

"Officer Su Lei, where have you been!" Li Ke asked in surprise, "A lot of people are looking for you today—"

"It's great that you're here, Lico...do you have any important events tonight?"

"Me?" Lico looked at Hesta, "I have important events every day..."

"Besides taking care of Jane—"

"Let's talk about your needs first," Hesta quickly interrupted Si Lei, "Do you need Lico's help tonight?"

"...Yes, I need you to help me protect an extra person."

"Who?"

"Today's victim...he's in the restaurant right now."

Hesta and Lico were startled at the same time, they exchanged glances, Hesta whispered: "Then I have to call Miss Chiba first..."

"Go to the restaurant and make a call, time waits for no one!"

Su Lei's eyes shone with the excitement of a gambler, and this excitement made Hesta feel dangerous—she had never seen such an expression on Su Lei's face, like a madman who put all his chips in one basket.

Hesta turned around, and soon followed Su Lei back to the restaurant again.

The moment the door was pushed open, Su Lei's resounding voice immediately resounded throughout the hall.

"Gustav Minger!" Su Lei scanned the restaurant, "Who is Gustav Minger, stand up!"

Some passengers recognized the person coming, and they raised their heads blankly: "...Officer Su Lei? How do you—"

"I ask again, who is Gustav Minger?"

Su Lei ignored the reactions of these people, and she quickly found a young man in the crowd staring at her with fear in his eyes.

Su Lei strode up to the man, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward slightly, "You are Gustav Minger?"

Not far away, Hesta watched the scene while dialing the phone.

The young man nodded.He bit his lower lip, completely overwhelmed by Si Lei's aura, unable to say a word for a while.

"Get out your ID card."

The man obediently handed over his ID card, "You...you..."

After checking the name, Su Lei asked again: "Is the number on your ship card number 62?"

The man nods.

Su Lei grabbed his shoulders and lifted him up from the chair, "Now, come with me."

The young Gustav stumbled to his feet, and was dragged forward by the little woman in front of him. He didn't turn his head until he passed half of the restaurant, "Mr. Gobelin—"

"He can't save you!" Si Lei's face changed suddenly, "If you don't want to die, just keep quiet and follow my instructions honestly!"

The entire restaurant was silent, and everyone looked at the police officer who came back suddenly in astonishment until she left the restaurant with someone.

"Jane? Rico?"

Su Lei's voice came from the corridor, and Hesta and Lico walked out belatedly. Both of them felt an inexplicable pressure. Lico looked at the people in the restaurant and coughed lightly: "You eat Yours……"

Returning to the corridor, Rico pushed Hesta's wheelchair and walked briskly.

"Si Lei, where are you taking us?" Hesta asked.

"a place!"

Rico laughed.

The four of them went all the way down from the emergency passage to the open deck. They walked around a section of the hull with lifeboats hanging on them, and finally stopped at a dark entrance.

Li Ke immediately recognized this place: "Is the power room under here? Are you going to take us to the power room?"

"Correct."

"...I...I won't go down..." Gustav gripped the door frame tightly. After running continuously, his face was even uglier than when he was in Bishop's restaurant before, "It's too dark here... ...It's too dark...I'm afraid...Officer, can you...take me back..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Si Lei said sharply, "If you can survive the whole set of 'process' during the day, then there is nothing to be afraid of now. We have three people following you, and no one can do anything to you!"

Gustav's tears stopped suddenly. He looked at Si Lei's face in despair, and slowly let go of his fingers, "...you, you...know? You...how could you..."

Lico and Hesta were confused: "...what'process'?"

"Talk while you walk."

Su Lei turned on the flashlight, and a beam of bright light illuminated the stairs leading to the ground in front of him.

Looking at the steep steps in front of him, Hesta sighed softly, and quickly stood up from the wheelchair.
