Why it never ends

Chapter 440 lynching
The room was completely silent.

Su Lei coughed a few times, lowered his head and lit a cigarette - this was the first time Hesta saw Su Lei smoking a cigarette in a long time, but judging from the posture of lighting the ash, Su Lei was probably not a novice.

"It's best not to smoke," Li Ke looked over, "It will affect my judgment on smell."

Su Lei stubbed out the cigarette butt on the floor.

Not far away, Gustav began to doze off at this moment due to high mental tension all day long. He curled up and slept on the ground, with tears welling up from his eyes from time to time.

Time slowly passed backwards, and the hour hand on Hester's watch went from nine to ten, and then to eleven. She didn't feel sleepy at all, but she still lay down on the spring bed.

At [-]:[-], the expected intruder did not appear, but Hesta suddenly heard a rapid metal beating sound, someone was struggling to swing the iron chain, and hit the pipe or other similar materials with it s things.

—It's Bree.

Si Lei got up: "Don't move, I'll go take a look."

She turned the lock as quickly as before, and walked quickly into the room without leaving anyone to watch.

The door clicked shut, and Hesta sat up.

"Why is she so nervous we're seeing Bree?"

"Shh." Lico closed her eyes and signaled Hesta not to speak—she had already entered the bullet time when the abnormal noise happened just now, and she faintly heard some unusual noises, but they had been quite far away. Wandering around, never approached.

Hesta touched the doorknob and tried to push the door, only to find that the door was locked.

The disturbing impact of the iron chain finally stopped, and everything returned to its original tranquility.

"I'm going to break in to have a look later," Hesta turned around, "You continue to watch Gustav here, don't worry about me."

Li Ke stood up on the spot, "...how can that be done! In case you are in danger——"

"No danger."

"what?"

"Don't worry," Hesta put his ear to the door, "I will never be in danger tonight."

"How did you determine such a thing!"

"Of course I'm sure," Hesta whispered, "Miss Chiba knows what I'm doing tonight. If something happens to me here, I think some people on this ship will be in danger."

Li Ke understood, she laughed, and directly lifted Gustav who was about to fall asleep from the ground.

Gustav woke up suddenly, and before he had time to react to what happened, he was carried by Rico on his shoulders.

"It's fine, you go in, I'll just go in with you," Li Ke looked at the door, "I'm also a little curious, what's behind this door."

……

"Here we come." Hesta took two steps back.

The sound of Su Lei's footsteps was getting closer and closer, until the door lock turned again, and Hesta suddenly slammed towards the door with all his strength - behind the door, Su Lei couldn't dodge in time, his nose was hit squarely by the side of the door that rebounded suddenly, and he was thrown off his feet. He fell to the ground.

A strong soreness made her unable to open her eyes for a while, and she could only vaguely see two familiar figures stepping over her body.

"Sorry!"

"sorry!"

The voices of the two girls quickly faded away.

Si Lei clutched her nose and rolled left and right on the ground. When the pain finally subsided a little, she quickly shook off the nosebleed from her palm.

"You two...stop..."

Behind the door is not a room, but another corridor. Hesta ran all the way, and soon felt a more pungent stench——

Suddenly, Hesta stopped.

She saw Bree, and it was indeed Bree, but the appearance was quite different—he was wearing a bloody white vest and suit shorts, and there were many wounds on his body that looked almost tragic. At this moment, his hands were ironed With the chain tied behind him, the whole person fell to the ground feebly, gasping for breath with difficulty.

Beside him, several scattered food bags fell to the ground, and he was opening his mouth, trying to reach the one closest to him.

Seeing Hesta, Bree shivered instinctively, and then shrank his body into a ball convulsively.

Beside him, Hesta saw several electrical sparkers taped together, looking like they had been removed from lighters.

Su Lei finally caught up.

In the dark corridor, several people looked at each other.

Hesta originally thought that Su Lei was probably lying, but now that Bree was indeed lying here covered with bruises, she didn't know how to react, and what made her even more incomprehensible was the expression of Su Lei at this moment—that was why? The embarrassment of having done something bad and being found out, mixed with a bit of guilt and stubbornness.

"...These injuries are all his old wounds from before," Su Lei's nose was already showing some lines of anger, "I... only used electric shocks and sleep deprivation..."

This justification fell into Hesta's heart like a key.

She suddenly understood everything, for example, why Su Lei seemed to be more silent tonight than before, and then suddenly aroused all his anger.

—for lynching Bree.

Even though she just said that there is no law that can compel a citizen to testify against himself, all the confessions obtained from Bree may be attributed to her thunderous means.

Hesta frowned, what's so guilty about it?What is the current situation, at the moment when the next victim will appear at any time, it is obviously unrealistic to emphasize the legality and elegance of the means——

It seems that it is not.

Because this seems to go back to the two questions that Su Lei raised earlier: Who will judge reality?Whose reality is judged?Anyway, in a set of procedural justice recognized by a livable place, there must be no option for private punishment.

Hesta took a deep breath and took a long breath. She suddenly felt that the scene was a bit awkward. She didn't want to be sarcastic, because she agreed with Su Lei's behavior, but she also knew that she shouldn't comfort her—from the understanding of dissidents , are often more unbearable than irony.

"How did Bree get here?" Rico turned his head, as if he didn't notice the strangeness in the air, "Did you arrest him?"

"...To be precise, he brought me here." Si Lei replied coldly.

"Ah," Li Ke opened his eyes wide, "He?"

"As a failed guarantor, he will share part of Grüning's bad luck, so if he wants to survive, he must sacrifice a new person-and he drew my name by lottery."

Rico laughed loudly. She raised her foot and kicked Bree on the shoulder, turning him over, "You're a bit unlucky."

"After tonight, I will send him back," Su Lei replied in a low voice, "Let's focus on Gustav first, what do you think?"

Hesta shrugged slightly, "...I have no objection."

"Me too—" Li Ge was about to answer, but his eyes suddenly became sharper, "Here we come!"
