Why it never ends

Chapter 449 Countercurrent
Near six o'clock, Hesta and his party left the observation deck on the top floor and walked towards Bishop's restaurant.Except Chiba, everyone was yawning, Lico and Hesta whispered, and the two decided to go back to catch up on sleep after breakfast.

Su Lei and Gustav walked at the back, and Gustav looked at her with some concern——Chiba and the others walked so fast that Su Lei, who was staggering, was quickly pulled away.

Gustav wanted to go after him, but he knew very well that the small group of Quicksilver Needles did not welcome him.

"Officer Su Lei, are you okay?" Gustav asked softly, "Are you...is there something uncomfortable?"

"It's okay," Su Lei said softly, "I'm just..."

"Officer Su Lei!"

Qianye turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw that Si Lei was falling backwards, she quickly turned back and grabbed Si Lei's left shoulder.

"Hey! What are you doing... Si Lei, Si Lei?"

Su Lei heard Qianye's indistinct voice. At the same time, a sharp tinnitus came from her right ear. The noise was so strong that it seemed as if a real drill had suddenly wedged into her brain. It was almost impossible to move, but soon, the tide of pain receded, and everything in front of him became clear again.

Opening her eyes, several faces surrounded her diagonally above her at the same time.

"...can you see it?" Qianye waved back and forth in front of Si Lei's eyes, "Si Lei?"

Si Lei gently knocked off Qianye's hand, she took a deep breath, supported the ground, and stood up again.

"I haven't eaten all night, and my blood sugar is low." Su Lei said in a low voice, "I'll be fine after breakfast—"

Not far away, Li Ke suddenly remembered something, "...Since we parted the day before yesterday, have you not slept all this time?"

"Sleeping—" Su Lei replied in a low voice.

"How do you sleep?" Hesta looked at her, "You said you were right before who used sleep deprivation, right? During this time, do you have any other helpers to help you watch?"

"I have sleep mode for work, anyway—"

"People will die," Hesta said softly, "I'm not scaremongering."

"Go on, okay?" Si Lei patted the ashes on his body, "I know my state, of course, I will find a place to rest after eating later."

Su Lei walked a few steps forward by himself, then stopped, "Gustav?"

Gustav was taken aback, he looked back at Chiba, and followed.

……

In the early morning, Bishop's restaurant was full of passengers, and everyone looked haggard.Days of anxiety about death and the alarm at three o'clock in the morning wear down people's will. During the silence, many people even showed no expression on their faces.

As soon as Su Lei showed up with Gustav, everyone was stunned. The two thorn monks jumped up excitedly on the spot. They screamed and stepped forward to hug Gustav, crying bitterly.

"You're alive, Gustav! Great, you're alive!"

Gustav hugged his companions tightly, but he had cried too much that night, and now he has no strength left.

After a while, several people let go of their hands, and they looked at Gustav: "Have you passed the 'trial'? Did the 'chelate' let you go?"

Gustav shook his head dejectedly.

"Then how did you spend last night?" Several thorn monks were even more surprised, "Did you encounter any danger?"

"It was those two mercury needles that saved me," Gustav pointed in the direction of Hesta and Rico, "The two of them drove the chelate... away."

The crowd exclaimed, and they approached Lico in unison.

Amidst the din, Hesta saw Su Lei sit at the bar alone, and asked the waiter for a cup to fetch water.Several passengers passing by her greeted her politely, and Su Lei responded briefly... No one stopped by her side.Such thunder reminded Hesta of a fishing boat going out to sea, the waves rushed to the reef, and the fisherman went against the current.

Not far away, René yelled Hesta's name frantically. Hesta ignored it at first, until his half-bald oily head blocked his view of Su Lei. Hesta frowned, "... oh , Rene."

"Amazing! You are amazing!" Rene blushed, "You and Miss Rico are both amazing! You defeated the chelate! You saved Gustave!"

Hesta laughed.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hesta saw Si Lei drink half a glass of water, then she put the glass down, lay on the bar with her arms on her head, and after slightly adjusting the position of her ankles and elbows, Su Lei completely fell silent. Only the breath brings a slight rise and fall of the shoulders and back.

Hesta looked away.

Are you tired, officer.

"I have known for a long time that you two have this ability, I have known for a long time, what kind of chelate - mercury needle is the nemesis of chelate, there are two of you, what are we worried about, what are we afraid of? It's amazing, Miss Hesta, Miss Lico, you are really amazing!"

Chiba looked at Rene, then at Hesta, with a delicate expression, as if asking: When did you get involved with this kind of person?

Hesta suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she looked at René: "...you are a little noisy."

"Oh, oh, I understand, I understand, you have fought all night, you need to rest well," René took a step back with a smile on his face, "Everyone take a step back! Don't disturb Miss Hester and Miss Rico !"

Under the intimidation of René and his accomplices, an open space with a radius of three meters appeared near the small round table where Hesta and Rico were staying. Deputy butler attitude.

"Didn't Gobelin call everyone over at three o'clock?" Li Ke looked around, "It's been so long, what are they doing here?"

Hesta glanced sideways at René, who immediately bowed over.

"Do you have any orders?"

"Gobelin called you over in the middle of the night, why are you here?"

"Uh...he hasn't said yet."

"Then what have you been doing tonight?"

"Just didn't do anything." Rene replied, "Goebbels said that there will be a security inspection tonight, everyone must leave the room immediately, and they are not allowed to move around, so they can only stay in this restaurant until the inspection is over. "

"Really, what security check, who checks?"

René spat in disgust, "You still believe this, it's just his bluff... I think he knows that you have successfully rescued Gustav, so he is in a bad mood, and he is playing with us!"

Hesta was noncommittal, and she looked to the other side of the restaurant - Goebbels was sitting there alone, and there was a kraft paper document bag on the table in front of him.

Gobelin closed his eyes and said nothing.
