Why it never ends

Chapter 530 Sea of ​​Promise
"What do you mean, helpful?"

"Always put personal likes and dislikes after collective survival, and be willing to sacrifice yourself for the benefit of the group."

"Is there a difference?" Hesta breathed a sigh of relief, "...It feels like just another word for high obedience."

"Really," Anna said softly, "Did anyone give Tasia an order to run on the day of the election judge?"

"no."

"Then, is it her interest to be an adjudicator?"

"It doesn't feel like it."

"If she really becomes the judge, do you think her feelings will be more positive or negative?"

Hesta thought for a moment, "...it shouldn't be very comfortable. Other candidates may secretly target her, especially if there are casualties later... She also lacks supporters in the crowd, let alone the right to speak."

"Then why is she raising her hand?"

"She should be thankful that she wasn't pushed into that position," Anna said softly, "otherwise, she wouldn't have a second choice other than being torn apart."

"However, there is one exception."

"Then what should we do?" Anna laughed, "That's not okay."

"Did it."

"With their invitations tainted, the underground transition of power must be transferred to the ground, and her successor must once again defeat all candidates.

"This means that no woman can become an adjudicator through direct succession. If she is interested in this status, she has no other choice except for public elections on the ground.

Anna looked at her: "Hmm."

"Because someone like that gets elected and puts everyone in danger."

"There are two known default methods. One is to have the current adjudicator and successor bring the invitation letter to the -2 deck to register within the specified time. The other is to publicly designate through the method of 'granting tokens', but this Advance registration is also required. At the same time, both methods require the successor's invitation letter to be in an untainted state.

"However, even if she wins the election against all odds, this status cannot last—again because of the previously mentioned rule that when the female arbiter chooses a successor who also happens to be a woman, then the It is absolutely impossible for the transfer of power to happen in a silent way.

"...even on your ship?"

"And as long as the Navigation Guide is not published, ordinary passengers will not understand what it means to have a security check, and they will not be aware that the above has changed course.

"On the surface, it can be elected, but in fact, from the birth of the first adjudicator, this person can go through the relevant procedures on the basement deck to designate the next one in advance.

"Why should René's election worry her?"

"...Yes." Anna replied.

"I guessed it, and I knew it was right not to listen." Hesta turned to Anna again, "I didn't quite understand why you set up such a rule at first, but since this is an original work by Roborgrillet -"

"Can I generalize that out of concern for everyone's safety, she has made a decision that is excruciating for herself - and for her personally, the benefits of this decision far outweigh the risks."

"In this way, a new strange phenomenon will appear—every time an adjudicator tries to persuade everyone to let a woman succeed, there will be a chaotic accident, and there may be casualties," He said. Star paused for a moment, "The casualties will leave everyone with some extremely strong emotional reactions..."

"what."

Anna didn't answer.

"I asked her why she ran for the election," Hesta said softly, "She said she was worried that René would be elected, because she didn't want to see that scene, and felt that she should do something, so she came on stage."

Hesta looked at Anna, "Of course there is a way."

Hesta continued:
"Later, Su Lei and I followed the instructions and came here to go through the formalities of appointing an adjudicator in advance, and I realized that my intuition was correct—the succession of the adjudicator's identity is actually not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Hesta was silent for a moment.

"The first time I read the note signed by HG, I felt that there might be a set of strict rules for the succession of the adjudicator on the ship, but for some reason, it was not clearly written."

Anna's eyebrows moved slightly, she didn't answer, but looked sideways at Hesta again.

"Aren't we on the Alecto?" Hesta whispered, "the myth says that Dehe fell into a deep sleep, and her eleven daughters who lost power turned into vengeful gods, making waves on the sea all day long... "

"Has anyone ever been torn apart in front of you?"

Hesta lay on the table, her eyes were a little blurred, but she also looked at her.

"Not anymore."

"Once the authority of the adjudicator falls into the hands of a passenger whose invitation letter has been 'polluted', what she can do will become quite limited.

"You can find a passenger whose invitation letter has not been polluted to be your guardian." Putinna replied with a smile.

"So, do you think that simple high obedience can make people do this?"

"Not only that, when she disclosed the "Guidelines" to her same-sex partner for the first time, she lost the opportunity to 'exempt from security checks'. There are fewer people on the Shengming, and it is easier to assemble every time in an emergency, but On a really big ship, the 'safety check' has very different consequences.

"...Anna, were you also an adjudicator at that time?"

"This matter can happen quite secretly, because the change of adjudicator will only trigger one thing-security check. Not only that, if the parties operate properly, even the security check can be exempted.

Hesta suddenly felt parched, she stopped and drank the soda in the glass in one gulp.

"As long as the adjudicator selects a male heir whose 'invitation letter' has not been polluted, everything will return to normal." Hesta said softly, "The security check can also be exempted, and nothing will be revealed..."

"……cannot."

"OK?"

Anna's intensive questioning finally paused temporarily, and her fingers touched the table lightly following the rhythm of the music.

Speaking of which, Hesta suddenly turned to Putina, "I remember that night you have been strongly recommending another method of exempting the security check, can you tell me what it is now?"

"how do you know?"

Hesta murmured softly.

"...On the other hand, every piece of sea that has been rolled up by storms will be the sea of ​​Alecto's promise."

For a moment, Anna was stunned for a moment. She thought about this rhetoric, and suddenly remembered many past events.

When she came to her senses, Hesta not far away had closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep.
