Why it never ends

Chapter 509
The two fell to the ground in a thrilling manner, and Si Lei followed his inertia to somersault on the ground, and finally sat on his back on the ground.

"Are you still laughing?" Li Ke looked at her in surprise not far away, "Is it funny?"

Si Lei didn't answer, and after a few deep breaths, she stood up on the ground, "Every time you take me to fly, I have to sigh how I'm not a mercury needle, hahaha..."

Lico looked up at the place where she was struggling to break through just now - the gap was between the sixth deck and the seventh roof.

"There is a mezzanine." Li Ke pointed to the high place, "Look, there are really two Bishop's restaurants on this ship."

Su Lei also saw the hole where the smoke was coming out, but soon, she blinked hard, "...Is it my eyesight? Why do I feel that the hole is shrinking?"

"...It's not vertigo." Li Ke's expression froze on his face, "It's repairing itself."

High above, the damaged hull looks like some kind of mythical creation under the clouds. There are continuous materials extending from the edge of the fracture to the center in a regular manner. The light yellow light from the inside of the confined space becomes increasingly dimmer, and finally disappears completely, leaving only silver. The white hull reflects the moonlight of the night.

Su Lei started suddenly and ran towards the entrance.

Li Ke immediately chased after him, "Where are you going!"

"Negative second floor!"

……

"It's too late, let's rest." Rob yawned, "Look at which bed you want to sleep in... Where's your luggage?"

"It came in a hurry, and I didn't take it." Hesta answered absent-mindedly, thinking about other things.

"That's okay. They will bring you some daily necessities tomorrow morning. You can make do with it tonight..."

"Who is sleeping in that bed?" Hesta pointed to the bedside table opposite Rob, "It looks like someone is there too."

"It's Captain Otto. He fell and injured himself in the bathroom this morning. He applied for medical treatment and hasn't returned yet." Rob took off his glasses and lay down on his bed again. "Go over there and turn off the light when you're well."

Hesta turned the wheelchair and moved slowly towards the entrance. She looked back one last time, and then pulled down the light cord.

The whole room went dark.

"It's fine if you're here, it means it's safe here," Rob muttered alone on the bed, "Although I don't like the temper of your guardian, her judgment is mostly trustworthy... "

Rob turned over slightly, "Did she tell you when we can dock?"

Rob's voice quickly dissipated, and the surroundings returned to silence.

"Hesta?" Rob looked up suspiciously. He opened his eyes and searched in the darkness, but saw nothing.

Rob straightened up, his voice trembling.

"Hesta, where are you?"

The huge room was pitch black, and no one answered.

……

"Send me back." Hesta said softly.

"You can't leave yet." Putina smiled, "The elevator is occupied now."

On the descending elevator, Hesta, who was wearing a blindfold, shook his head, "That means the elevator we're taking now isn't a passenger elevator?"

Putina laughed a few times, but did not answer.

Hesta turned her head in her direction, "Occupied by who?"

"can not say."

"Then when will it be back to normal?"

"Hard to say."

"...you don't want to imprison me, do you?"

"Absolutely not." Putina thought for a while, "No matter what, I will definitely be able to send you back before one o'clock."

"I can't come back so late, I have to be ahead of Li Ke and the others—"

"I'm afraid they won't return very early." Putina said softly, "You will definitely be able to return to the room before them."

"Isn't their banquet over yet?"

"They've left the dinner."

Hesta frowned, and Putina's words made her suddenly have many dangerous associations, "...Where are the two of them now, you can just send me to them directly."

"Better not," Putina replied. "It's dangerous out there, Ms. Hesta, and you'd better stay with us until everything calms down."

……

In the elevator car, Su Lei quickly pressed the -2 floor.

"I want to go back to that place again," Si Lei explained, "it's the Bishop's restaurant that has dinner tonight."

"What are you going to see?"

"Just to see if the banquet is still there," Su Lei said in a low voice, "The key is whether those guests are still here..."

"You're crazy, and if that deck is full of mustard gas—"

"The last time Grüning's body was found, I remember you ripped the steel plates of the elevator." Su Lei looked at her, "The elevator can't trap you, right?"

"……Correct."

With a "ding", the elevator opened on the second floor.

The corridor on the second floor was still dark and empty.

Su Lei pressed the close button.

"If we open the door and find there is poisonous gas, we will immediately escape from the top of the elevator, if not, we will go back to the crowd to have a look," Su Lei said softly, "I want to know where these guests will go after the dinner is over .”

Li Ke looked up at the top of the car, "OK."

Su Lei took a deep breath, clenched his fist and smashed the number 6 on the keypad.

The elevator went up smoothly.

When the door was opened again, Rico's state had already relaxed—she didn't smell any pungent odor during the entire ascent process, which meant that the poisonous gas had not leaked inside the deck.

Outside the elevator, the two only saw an empty corridor without any noisy voices.

"The dinner party is over?" Su Lei murmured, but when her gaze landed on the ground, she suddenly realized something, "No, we didn't go back to the sixth floor just now! The color of the carpet is wrong!"

Li Ke also discovered this point - she stood in front of the window, stretched out her hand, and her five fingers easily stretched out of the window.

The next moment, another elevator behind the two started running.

Su Lei and Li Ge looked back at the indicator light at the same time—the orange light began to descend from the number six, but the elevator door was always closed.

"It's the elevator coming down from above." Su Lei clenched his fists, "...Okay, let's see where they go."

The number pointed by the copper needle moved slowly and finally stopped at -2.

The second floor...it really is the second floor!
At the same time, the door of the elevator they were taking was also closed, and the elevator started to run, but the number pointed by the pointer did not change. After a while, this elevator also started to descend, and finally stopped at the second floor.

When the elevator went up again, Su Lei and Li Ge got into the car at the same time, they didn't press any buttons, they just waited.

However, this time, the elevator did not move from beginning to end.

The two had no choice but to leave the car again in order to observe further—the two elevators in front of them quickly started running again, and the copper pointer echoed between minus two and six.
