Why it never ends

Chapter 50 The reason
In Molly's office, Molly faced Sean, Liz and Turan.

"Why don't you guys believe me! She has awakened for the second time, she must have awakened for the second time—"

"Gringoire!"

Molly stopped the emotional Sean, and at the same time, the phone on the office desk rang.

Molly answered the phone: "Hello, Order Officer's Office."

Listening to the other end of the phone, she said "hmm" several times, and finally sighed, "That's really great."

Liz looked at Molly eagerly—although she wasn't sure who the other party was calling right now, she thought it was most likely from the underground hospital.

"Okay, let me ask one more question." Molly glanced at Sean, "What is Hesta's current awakening state?"

Everyone held their breath.

"...Okay, I understand." Molly put down the phone and said to Sean, "Hesta didn't wake up again, she was just injured and passed out."

Liz stood up on the spot and said sharply to Sean: "What did you do to Hesta—"

"You don't even think about slandering me again! I didn't do anything other than being beaten by her!"

"Fletcher, sit down too!" Molly also said sternly, "Hesta's injury was indeed not caused by Sean."

The office regained its temporary tranquility.

Sean sneered, "Let me tell you."

"Take your temper away," Molly glanced at him coldly, "No matter what, as a reserve soldier Mercury Needle who has awakened for the second time, you will always have a way to escape when Hesta takes the initiative to provoke— —Why did you deliberately stop there and pester her?"

Sean narrowed his eyes swollen from Hesta's beating, and his whole face showed a kind of dramatic absurdity.

"It's unbelievable, Ms. Morley..." He spread his hands, "You said it was Hesta's 'active provocation', so are you blaming me now? Do you think that I, as a victim, faced When the perpetrator was not perfect?"

Molly was unmoved, "Please answer my question directly."

"Of course it's because I've been trying to figure out what's going on!" Sean argued, his voice very excited, "It's because I know that even a little strength from her can't hurt my muscles and bones, so I endured it." Painful, trying to clarify with her—”

Liz interrupted angrily, "You must have done something to provoke her again."

"Where's the evidence?" Sean looked sideways, "I've said it countless times just now, I just ran into Hesta by accident in the corridor this morning, accidentally bumped into her, and she chased me like crazy and beat me up ——I have maintained the greatest restraint and tolerance as a gentleman, and I didn't fight back, look!"

Sean rolled up his sleeves and showed Liz the scars on his body.

"Hesta won't bother you for no reason—"

"She just troubled me for no reason today!"

"Shut up!" Molly frowned. She had just received the noon surveillance footage and Mrs. Lavitt's testimony in her mailbox—Ms. Laverty was now lying in the underground hospital because of excessive shock.

Molly opened the page and watched the entire surveillance without saying a word.

12:36:14 The two met in the hallway and passed each other, Sean bumped into Hesta

12:36:38 Sean raised his hand, as if saying sorry to Hesta
12:36:43 Hesta ignored it, and the two walked in their own directions

12:37:21 Hesta stopped in place suddenly, she turned her back to the monitor, rolled up her sleeves, not knowing what she was doing

12:37:27 Hesta turns around, runs towards Sean, and quickly wrestles with him
Sean really wasn't lying - he was beaten the whole time and never fought back, not even once.

Looking at Mrs. Lavitt's confession again... Molly's eyes narrowed.

"Hersta has been asking you for her key?" Molly looked at Sean. "Did you take any of her keys?"

"That's what I've been asking all the time. How can there be any keys in the base? Don't we all use key cards? Take a step back, and I don't live with her. How do I know where her keys are? She lost them. You can just beat me up if you get the key?"

"Do you know?" Molly looked at Liz and Turan, "Is it something important to Hesta?"

Both Liz and Turan shook their heads in a daze. Turan suddenly remembered something, "I seemed to see a key tied to her arm when I was taking a shower before."

"What is it for?"

"……do not know."

Sean stood up, "May I leave, Ms. Morley?"

"Okay," Molly replied, "but please stay in the apartment and don't go anywhere until Hesta wakes up."

"Understood." Sean took a step forward and walked up to Molly, "Let me ask one more question, Ms. Molly, Hesta blatantly used violence on me while there was no one in the apartment-the base's treatment of her should be Will they be treated equally?"

"Of course." Molly raised her eyebrows slightly, and she looked at Sean, "The base will not be biased towards any side."

"That's good, I'll just wait and see." After that, he turned around and looked at Liz, "Miss Fletcher, I hope you will always remember that it was your connivance at the beginning that caused her to become aggressive now." Behavior—sometimes extreme protection for one is extreme injustice for the other.”

Facing the people in front of him, Sean made a gesture of taking off his air hat, "Let's chat slowly, I'm going back to recuperate."

After Sean left, Molly looked at Liz.

"Although Hesta is out of danger, her humerus, scapula, and ribs have fractures to varying degrees, Liz."

Liz was startled for a moment, then immediately got up and rushed out, "Xiao En, this kid——"

"It's not because of anyone else, it's because of you!" Molly said in a deep voice, "You hugged her while the bullet time was on—how could you do such a thing, hug her with all your strength during the bullet time? An ordinary person?"

Liz froze again.

She turned around in disbelief, "... because of me?"

"Have you ever thought that your actions may directly strangle her entire upper body into three?" Molly said sternly, "Why?"

Liz didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At that moment, she had a strong intuition that if she didn't turn on the bullet time, she might not be able to stop Hesta.

But it doesn't make sense... Hesta didn't have a second awakening, so how could he not be able to stop it.

Liz raised her hand, inserted her five fingers into her hair, and stroked back vigorously.

"...I don't know, Ms. Morley, maybe... I have misjudged."

"You should also go back and reflect on it," Molly said. "Perhaps it was not a wise decision to let you be Hesta's assistant officer."

……

After leaving the office building, Sean walked on the road humming alone.

The weather was fine today, and his mood was even better. In the aisle where there was no one there, he unconsciously started to dance.

When passing a fountain, he spun lightly and threw something into the pool.

After a very light splash of water, a silver key gradually sank to the bottom of the water.
