Why it never ends

"Like, but not exactly the same..." Su Lei carefully identified the blurred images on the screen, "Their badges are simpler than those of the thorn monks, at least the outline is clearer."

"interesting……"

Several people watched the short ten-minute video several times at slow speed, but found no more details.

"Are you sure there are only these?"

"Yes, most of them are still pictures played repeatedly, so it's quite easy to find this part." Su Lei said softly, "Actually, I have a guess."

"I also thought of a possibility..."

Hesta and Su Lei looked at each other.

"Boycott the monks."

……

At noon, several people returned to the cabin for a lunch break. Sure enough, Su Lei found a dress in the lower drawer of the wardrobe.

This is a complete suit dress, the coat is dark blue cashmere fabric with white vertical stripes, the collar and buttons are inlaid with satin, in addition, there are two shirts with different dark patterns and a beautifully carved wooden box , containing cufflinks and spare buttons.

When trying it on, Su Lei looked back and forth, and found that the cut of the clothes and trousers was very suitable, and even the size of the leather shoes fit his feet.This made Su Lei feel a little uncomfortable, and then changed back to his old shoes.

Li Ke tilted his head: "Aren't you wearing new ones?"

"New shoes always hurt your feet, so it's better to wear your own." Su Lei took off his coat again and hung it in the cabinet, "That's it."

"You're dressed so formally, so I'll wear a jumper then, won't it be too strange..."

"You didn't bring a formal suit?"

"Who wears formal clothes on vacation?" Li Ke thought for a while, "Will Mercury Needle's uniform work? I can wear Jane's."

"It's fine, it doesn't need to be so troublesome." Su Lei said softly, "Actually, I can also just wear my regular clothes—"

There was a faint knock on the door outside, and Su Lei went out to look, and after a while Tasia followed her into the room.

As soon as she entered the door, Tasia said with a serious expression, "Sorry for disturbing your lunch break!"

"Not at all," Li Ke raised his hand in embarrassment, "but it's embarrassing for you to apologize all the time..."

"What's wrong?" Si Lei asked.

"I read the rules posted by Ms. Hesta!" Tasia clenched her fist and pressed it to her heart, "Although I didn't raise my hand just now..."

"Don't worry, I'm not really asking who has watched and who hasn't," Hesta looked at Tasia with a smile on his face, "But I really didn't expect that you are already a guardian? When did this happen?"

Before Tasia could reply, Su Lei was already stunned, "What?"

"I forgot to tell you," Hesta replied, "Today's gathering is a bit interesting. At least two passengers have become guardians—Tassia and Helen."

"No, I'm not." Tasia immediately argued.

"Then why did you stop Helen and the others from saying the three rules in public? You know what that means, right?"

"I know, but I'm not a guardian. I'm here to find you now, and it's also for this matter—"

"Wait," Su Lei looked at Hesta, "Why are you sure Helen is the guardian?"

"Because she practiced the rules in the guardian's code at the rally." Hesta replied, "At that time, Gustav and Givey cooperated successively. There was probably something between the three of them."

Su Lei still had a look of disbelief, "...that's impossible."

"Why not?"

"I was just now—" Su Lei stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, "Anyway, I checked the guardian registration list before I went to investigate the surveillance, and there was no one's name on it."

"...Okay, I'll talk about this later." Hesta looked at Tasia, "Let's talk about you first. You said you are not a guardian, so how do you know what Helen is doing?"

"Because, that rule was told to me by Helen herself last night."

"Why is she telling you this?"

"...I don't know! I met her at the elevator last night. She found out that I had read the "Detailed Rules" and told me about it right away. Maybe she did it so that I could cooperate with her today...but She was wrong!" A resolute expression appeared on Tasia's face, "I will never... risk everyone's life.

"I'm afraid that more people will have accidents if this continues," Tasia said in a lower voice, "It's come to this point, I think everyone should unite, after all—"

"Yes," interrupted Hesta, "could you tell me about your proposal?"

"What exactly do those rules mean? Can you explain to us all further? For example, why the elevator is normal during the day, but multiple people must walk together at night... I believe that as long as you are willing to explain, everyone will believe you!"

"Of course, I think so too." Hesta looked at her, "After all, trust is mutual, and someone should take the first step."

Tasia was taken aback, as if she didn't expect Hesta to agree so quickly.

"...that's the whole purpose of my visit," she said softly, "to tell you about Helen, and to hope that you can come forward to settle the quarrel..."

"Yeah." Hesta nodded again, "I heard everything."

Tasia took a deep breath and felt a burst of warmth again. This scene reminded her of the short conversation with Hesta in the corridor last time. She couldn't help lowering her head and touching her nose, "Thank you... Thank you Ms. Hesta."

"Go back to rest and conserve your strength." Hesta said softly, "We should especially support each other at this moment. Please continue to pay attention to these clues and tell us anytime."

Tasia nodded repeatedly and exited the room.

"Do you think what she said is true?" Li Ke said softly.

"It's not like lying."

"But why did Helen tell her that rule extra?"

Hesta thought for a while, "Maybe it's because of the explanation in the daytime activities - 'the solidarity and help between guardians should be unconditional'... Tasia will become a guardian sooner or later."

The two discussed what happened just now, and Si Lei sat down not far away.

She looked at the two young men in front of her. Hesta's attitude towards Tasia just now made Su Lei feel a little sad, and the sadness was mixed with surprise, loneliness and increasingly strong self-doubt.

Perhaps it was because she seldom participated in the direct combat of Quicksilver in the past, so she seldom felt that Quicksilver was different from ordinary people. However, since boarding this ship, the loneliness caused by this difference has always been lingering.

Just like Chiba can shoot and end the life of a little girl without hesitation, Hesta can also punish the ship at will after judging that the ship belongs to the old order, and enter Albodonica's hunting game without any resistance... ...There are not many passengers on this ship, but there are all kinds of high-ranking people.

Su Lei suddenly remembered the exhibition hall under the sea, and the golden text that stood silently opposite the silver banyan tree.

Perhaps, the ancient Liber Gulf never really existed.
