Why it never ends

Chapter 523 Missing
"Of course, I also know that all of this is just the beginning," Bernhard's voice lowered slightly, "there will be many things in the future, and we must... cooperate with each other, really, cooperate."

Hesta still didn't answer, she looked at the dial: "How long will it take for your people to come back?"

"If the hidden deck is exactly the same as the sixth floor we are on, then it will take less than 10 minutes—"

"Then we'll wait here for 10 minutes."

Bernhard's lower eyelids twitched a little, but he didn't dare to refute directly.He sat down again and turned his gaze to the distance, pinching the fabric of the clothes in his pockets with his fingers a little uneasily.

Nine minutes later, soldiers entered the restaurant.

"Why so fast?" Bernhard immediately turned his head, "Did you find any useful clues up there?"

"Not at the moment, sir," the soldier said with a grim expression, "the search is fast because...the upper deck is basically empty."

"What's empty, you mean there's no one there?" Bernhard frowned, "Of course there's no one there during the day when those monsters are active—"

"No, there is no furniture, such as tables, chairs, counters... There is nothing on these things, just empty rooms."

"Don't understand why?" Hesta continued, "There are banquets, and there are guests attending the banquet. If you destroy the elevator, where do you think they will go up from?"

Bernhard's face turned from red to purple, and gradually faded away, becoming panicked and haggard. It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized many worse possibilities.

Bernhard woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. He stopped approaching the direction of Hesta. The whole figure was like a machine that had suddenly lost its power, curled up helplessly on the seat, and held his head tightly with both hands.

"I brought another group of people up just now. I wanted to speed up the inspection, but...the upper deck is... deserted. I searched everywhere, and the equipment is here..."

"What did you want to say just now, Bernhard. Did I know from the beginning that sending people to the top is to send them to death?" Hesta whispered, "Then I can tell you clearly, I don't know."

"Yes." The soldier nodded repeatedly, "When we go up again, everyone will...just..."

Si Lei and Li Ge glanced at each other at the same time, and at the same time they remembered the weird closed corridor last night.

Hesta pushed his wheelchair to Bernhard's side.

The corners of Bernhard's mouth drooped exaggeratedly, almost crying, but he still tried his best to endure, waiting for Hesta's next words.

Bernhard was stunned for a second, "...what?"

"Where are our people?"

"No." Hesta replied softly.

"I advise you not to have too many unrealistic fantasies, because we happened to be on a cruise ship that can eat people."

"You just said that you brought a new group of people over to help. Where are these people?"

"These are still under inspection, sir. It is estimated that there will be a final result in half an hour."

"In addition to strictly adhering to the existing rules in the "Detailed Rules," Hesta looked sideways at Bernhard, "tonight, after nightfall, it is best for all the decks that are occupied to lock your stairway doors firmly. .”

"The final result hasn't come out, why are you here to report!" Bernhard's voice suddenly rose, "Go back!"

"Let me go and have a look." Su Lei looked at Hesta, "I can't ask more details here."

As he spoke, Hesta's upper body tilted slightly in Bernhard's direction.

"Bernhard!" Li Ke suddenly scolded.

"What are you doing running back again?" Bernhard stepped forward and grabbed his subordinate by the collar, "Is the final result out or what? You'd better spit out something useful—"

"Wait...wait a minute..." Every word he said, every breath he exhaled, seemed to be forcibly pulled out of his throat.

Bernhard shook his head painfully as Hestad was almost leaving Bishop's.

"They're all down, they're all at the elevator entrance now..."

"People... people are gone, sir!"

Bishop's restaurant became quiet again. Bernhard was in a daze for a long time before turning his head slowly, "...Why are you so calm, Hesta?"

She looked in the direction of the hallway, "Listen, Bernhard, but I know you're freaked out, and there's no point in talking about anything now. I'm going to wait for 10 minutes. Everyone who was supposed to wait for you came down. , I want to remind you all of one thing..."

"How do you all check the walls?"

The soldier left quickly, Bernhard slapped the table with his palm, and he looked at Hesta from the corner of his eye—there was no response there.

"Then, you decided to inspect the walls and let you come down to report on the progress, is that right?"

At this moment, there were continuous gunshots outside, and Bernhard instinctively shivered a few times.

Bernhard's facial features twisted together again, both painful and confused.

"What about the walls? Have you checked all the walls? Walls, partitions, and especially pay attention to whether there are hidden compartments!"

"Wait a minute," Su Lei interrupted suddenly, "When you first went in to search, there was nothing unusual, and everyone was there, right?"

Hesta patted the back of Su Lei's hand, "Be careful."

"……Yes."

"It's because you are too stubborn," Hesta said in a low voice, "Si Lei stopped you before, but you didn't listen."

"...Remove. Use a machine."

Bernhard raised his head slowly, his face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"Since you can't get off the boat, you can only... ask for luck."

"...I don't know," the soldier replied tremblingly, "Damn this place—"

About 3 minutes later, the same soldier returned again, only this time he looked much more panicked.

"You...you mean...you mean...those monsters will...tonight, tonight..."

A few fingers on Hesta's left hand shook quickly, Rico understood, and pushed her out without saying a word.

"It should be Su Lei doing sabotage experiments." Li Ke glanced at the ceiling, "Shall we follow to see?"

"...but why did you just say you'd have to wait for 10 minutes when you came up?" Bernhard's voice sounded like he was dreaming, his cheeks twitched slightly, "Did you, from the very beginning—"

"right……"

"what happened?"

"Gobelin disappeared again..." Bernhard whispered, "Do you know... where did he go?"

"This question is really interesting. How do we know the whereabouts of Goebbels?" Hesta turned his face halfway, "You are the partner who fought side by side with him. Don't you know where he went?"

"I really don't know..." Bernhard clasped his hands together tightly, "I don't... know anything at all!"
