Why it never ends

"He's said it all!" Si Lei put his hand on the door frame, "If you want to hear it, I'll repeat it to you!"

The air was silent for a moment.

"Okay, you can tell me, I'll listen," Hesta took a step back, "Why are you attacking me..."

"I didn't kill you—"

"It's fierce." Li Ke raised his hand in the distance, "You were so loud just now, and your expression was scary."

Su Lei took a deep breath.

"...That was not my intention," Su Lei said softly, "but I apologize, I should be softer."

Hesta retreated to the spring bed that Su Lei had just set up, and sat down.

"Dietrich had a childhood sweetheart in the place where he used to live," Su Lei began to narrate. "Later, he cut off contact with that girl in order to join the Briar Monk. The girl came to him several times, but he refused to meet. Finally The girl committed suicide."

Hesta looked at Su Lei, "Whose statement is this? Dietrich himself, or Bree?"

"There's no difference between the two, Bree and Dietrich's parents didn't have much contact," replied Sley, "and all these stories I tell are Bree's last prayer of confession from Dietrich. From what I heard here, the rounding is all Dietrich's own statement."

Si Lei stood by the door and reinserted the latch.

"Dietrich gave that girl a lot of plaster sculptures, all carved by himself, including small animals, flowers and plants, and the little girl liked it very much too—he mentioned in his diary that he once had a relationship with Grüning The quarrel is caused by this."

"... I have the impression," Hesta said softly, "At that time Grüning bought back a lot of little owl figures—what about the 'devil'? He wrote in his diary at the time, who was the 'devil' he met repeatedly? ?”

"It's the little girl who died." Si Lei replied.

Li Ke raised his left eyebrow, "...I don't understand? Is he hallucinating?"

"It's a bit strange," Su Lei said with his hands in his arms. "Two weeks before boarding the ship, Dietrich began to frequently see the dead girl appearing around him. by his bed...

"According to him, more often he would suddenly see a familiar face in the crowd, but when he took a closer look, he realized that it was just an illusion—so he wrote this incident repeatedly in his diary, and he couldn't sleep. Well, I can't eat well, I need to talk to Bree."

Hesta didn't say a word-this matter may seem bizarre to others, but it seems concise and clear to her, and even directly points to a specific direction:

Who can "return" the dead to the world?
zero.

At this moment, Hesta was even more sure that Anna's plan was not a temporary idea, she must have started preparations a long time ago... There are so many passengers on board, just collecting information about all of them is an unimaginably complicated task project.

But after thinking about it, Hesta realized that maybe things are not so difficult. For Zero, processing the data of one person is not much different from processing the data of fifty or five hundred people.

... What's more, who said that Zero's "body" can only have one? …

With Anna's hands and eyes open to the sky, she can bring out a hundred bionics who are no different from real people with a wave of her hand, and sneak into these targets who have been targeted by her with various identities and faces... What is impossible? .

"So why did the girl commit suicide?" Hesta asked softly, "Is it really suicide?"

"I don't know."

"...Why do people commit suicide?"

"may be because……"

Just as Su Lei was about to speak, he suddenly remembered Alvira's death.When she looked into Hesta's eyes again, she felt that the question Hesta raised seemed to have some deep meaning, and she should not answer it casually.

"...People's emotions are always very strong when they are young." Si Lei said softly.

"yes."

"I don't know," Su Lei replied, "We don't even know what that girl's name is now... These are all speculations and cannot be verified."

The two looked at each other.

Hesta quickly looked away and stopped asking, which made Si Lei feel a little sad suddenly.At this moment, she suddenly no longer cared about Hesta's banter and ridicule all the way tonight-Hesta once stood in the position of "assassin", she must have disgust for the current victim, and for The murderer standing in the same position has some kind of natural identification, which is also just a kind of human nature...

Si Lei closed his eyes and pinched his jaw.

"...I've also seen dead people recently." Gustav said suddenly.

The other three people in the room looked sideways at him at the same time.

"It's my grandma." Gustav's face became a little more serene. "She is a painter. I often painted at her house when I was young. She loves me the most."

"What do you mean by 'seen'?" Su Lei became vigilant, "In a dream? Or somewhere else?"

"I can't tell." Gustav smiled cautiously, "It feels like an illusion. I saw her pass me by on the way to Bishop's restaurant this morning—when I turned around Only then did I realize that I had mistook an elderly cleaning lady for her, but the moment I got it wrong, the feeling was very real."

"When else?"

"Uh... before boarding the boat, one morning, I was sketching in the garden—I don't sketch often, but I just bought a flower stand that day, so I wanted to paint the light and shadow at sunrise," Gustav whispered , "Then I saw my grandma, holding her satin umbrella, standing opposite the artificial lake, waving at me."

"...Are you reading correctly?"

"How could I be wrong?" Gustav shook his head. "Even if they are old people who look similar, how can they even have the same clothes? And that umbrella——that is her very precious umbrella. They were all stored in the cabinet, and only one year when we invited a photographer to take a family portrait at home, she took it out and used it as a prop...I was so impressed."

"Have you talked to anyone else?"

"Are you talking about my grandma? No... no one will believe you if you tell such a thing," Gustav looked at the floor with a shy expression, "and my situation is different from that of Dietrich. , it’s not a nightmare for me, I miss her very much, whether in a dream or in reality, as long as she visits me, I am very happy, she never thinks that I should be a doctor—— "

"When did you first see her?" Hesta interrupted Gustav's gentle memory.

"Almost...it was after we arrived in Tanyi—because we were going to board the ship from the port of Havre, everyone had to meet here first," Gustav frowned and recalled, "It should be... five It might be the first ten days of the month."

Su Lei's and Hesta's heartstrings twitched at the same time—and Dietrich's timing also coincided.
