Why it never ends

Chapter 437 Polyphony
Gustav shuddered again.

Hesta looked at Si Lei: "So your plan tonight is to save Gustav's life, that's it?"

"...I think I know who's behind it."

Hesta looked up slightly, "Who?"

"Anna."

Rico's ears moved slightly, and he cast a glance towards Hesta involuntarily.

Hesta looked indifferent, and just said softly: "How are you sure, is there any evidence?"

"Not yet...but even if it wasn't her, she must be involved in these cases." Su Lei said softly, "Did you forget that she handed me the scissors back then?"

Li Ke was curious: "...what scissors?"

Hestad didn't give any answer, she didn't want to discuss these issues in front of outsiders, but this topic obviously caught Gustav's full attention, his eyes were sharp, and his eyes kept changing with the conversation. Toggles between Hesta and Sule.

"That doesn't mean anything," Hesta said softly, "she's rude, arrogant, and lacks common sense... But these are not the reasons why you can think that she is behind the scenes-she can't even move freely, and Zero died again..."

In the middle of Hesta's speech, her voice slowly lowered. She looked at Su Lei's approaching face, "What's wrong?"

"The more you say that, the more convinced I am that my judgment is correct."

"……what?"

"There's no need to explain any more," Su Lei said coldly, "I'm not going to convince you."

"It's not a question of convincing anyone—"

"Anna and I still have some private conversations," Su Lei looked away, "I have some intuition."

In a slightly awkward silence, Li Ke raised his hand, "So my task tonight is to ensure that Gustav survives past twelve o'clock, can I understand that?"

"I hope it will be after sunrise tomorrow, can it be done?"

"Of course you can..." Li Ke scratched his head and looked left and right, "But you still have to ensure Jane's normal work and rest, you must have a place where you can sleep - you can't just sleep on the floor."

"Yes, you wait here for a while."

Su Lei turned around and walked deep into the room. She took out a bunch of keys and opened the door with one of them.Hesta moved quietly so that she could see the situation inside through the crack of the door, but Su Lei's movements were really fast, and she was about to see a figure inside, and the door was already closed .

Rico took Hesta's shoulder with one hand, and hugged her half a meter towards him.

"I want to ask you something, tell me honestly." Li Ke suppressed his voice to the extreme, almost leaving only a little air current.

"... what?" Hesta asked.

"Which side are you on?"

Hearing this question, Hesta was taken aback.

With his back turned to Gustav, Rico lip-synced to Hesta.

She first pointed to the exit:

"Anna?"

Then he pointed behind him:

"Slei?"

Hesta laughed silently, she finally understood Lico's problem - she was clearly the one who had been claiming that Anna was the instigator, but when Si Lei also came up with the same conclusion, she gave a Ambiguous answer.

Hesta grabbed Rico's gesticulating hand and placed it on his heart.

"...you guys, what are you talking about?" Gustav who was not far away bite the bullet and said, "I beg you... I'm a little... I'm a little scared——"

"Don't be afraid." Li Ge turned his head, "I said I will protect you until tomorrow's sunrise, that is tomorrow's sunrise."

"...Really, really?"

"Really."

"But if the other side... is really... a chelate—"

"That's just a professional counterpart," Li Ke smiled, "That's what we do."

Gustav originally wanted to squeeze out a smiling face, but no matter what expression he made on his face that had been distorted by fear at the moment, it looked extremely weird.

Gustav lowered his eyes, "...I...I should, how can I thank you?"

"Don't talk about it, I have the obligation to rescue in this situation," Li Ge said softly, "All you need to do is to keep calm, no matter what happens next, listen to my password in time, don't think about anything else, okay ."

These few words of Rico made Gustav's choking suddenly become intense, he lowered his head, and big tears fell on the ground.

"I'm sorry... can I... can I...?"

Gustav looked at Lico with red eyes, and Lico quickly understood what he meant, and passed his hand over.Gustav tremblingly held the hand of the mercury needle in front of him. At this moment, the images of those horrific corpses finally disappeared from his mind for a short while.

A kind of divinely inspired tranquility descended suddenly, and Gustav pressed his forehead tightly against the back of Rico's hand. At the entrance of this gloomy and old power room, he experienced an unprecedented pious emotion—that was the past. It has never been seen in any church.

Hesta nearby watched quietly, and this scene reminded her of many familiar faces, and she remembered a quiet night, in a warm candlelight, Villefort talked about literature:
"Dad, why did he commit suicide?"

"Father, how many people commit suicide?"

"...Is it difficult to die?"

On the same night, Villefort also said with the same expression and even the same trembling voice, "After having a child, the word 'father' is crisp."

At that moment, there was also a kind of religious holiness shrouded in him...

But who is it who stays with Villefort all day long? Tanglars, Rogers and the like are like crucian carp in the river——

What about... Sophie and Alvira?
Hesta thought of which mother and daughter belonged to the warm room, the sweet Canale and the pale yellow light of Night Reading...

The outside world and the inside world are so different, yet so harmonious, is that also a fake, a disguise?Is it a lie?

The door leading to the deeper part of the room opened again. This time Su Lei dragged out a spring folding bed. She quickly rebuilt the bed. There were no mattresses and pillow mats here, but Su Lei brought some cardboard boxes to Hesta. headrest.

"It's summer now, and it won't be particularly cold at night," Su Lei patted the head of the bed, "You should be able to use your coat as a quilt... But can you sleep——Where are you going?"

Hesta went straight to the metal door that led into the depths of the power room.

"...You just said that Bree was inside, right? I want to go in and have a look."

"No need, at this juncture, everyone should not walk around," Su Lei blocked Hesta in time, "What do you want to see Bree for?"

"I just suddenly remembered Dietrich's diary..." Hesta said softly, "Did he tell you, what are those 'things that cannot be mentioned to others' in Dietrich's diary? "
