Why it never ends

Chapter 535 Ceremony
"They brought me blankets, pillows, and told me to rest, but I kept talking to them, and I didn't feel sleepy until dawn... After that, I just came back."

"Do you still remember how I came back?" Adams asked with concern, "Probably from what direction...?"

Gustav shook his head, "I can't remember, my eyes were blindfolded again when I came out, so..."

"Interesting," Fayence said thoughtfully, "You just said that the reason why the people over there wouldn't let you leave at the end of the banquet was because 'it's dangerous outside'—did you ask, it's your fault Is it dangerous, or is it dangerous for them too?"

"This is exactly what I want to say! For them, the deck in the wee hours of the morning is also very dangerous, and several passengers have been killed on their side... But the night banquet must continue, because this is the 'rule' they must abide by .”

"...They also have 'rules'?" Someone was stunned, "Just... the same rules as us?"

"Yes, since we boarded the ship, they have been waiting for the guests to participate in the banquet, but I don't know why no one came every time-until Police Officer Su Lei and Ms. Li Ge officially attended their dinner the night before, they The random deaths over there have finally stopped."

"You mean, every absence on our side will result in a death on their side?"

"Yes," Gustav nodded repeatedly, "They have never understood why no one came..."

"...My God," Adams stood there, frowning, "this is ridiculous."

Gustav looked at Hesta.

"Why I said earlier that I was able to appear here is all thanks to you, because you changed Mr. Gobelin's strategy! If you hadn't announced the detailed rules and led to the first successful night banquet in one fell swoop, we are now will not know this, and...and..."

"And what?" Helen urged, "Don't hesitate, finish what you want to say at once."

"I heard a saying..." Gustav was a little embarrassed, "but I don't know if I should say it now..."

"Just say what you want." Si Lei said softly, "Say it together with why you hesitated, don't worry about it."

"I, I'm hesitant because this statement may not work for us, it's just their experience," Gustav's voice slowed down, "It's just... it seems that they can't control it except for the banquet, They've figured out a way to avoid daily casualties... I feel like, this method... as if, we can use it too?"

Fayence on the side was really annoyed when he heard it, "What the hell are you talking about, hurry up—"

"Guardian system?" Hesta said abruptly.

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"...Yes," Gustav was also a little surprised, but his eyes quickly showed joy, "You know!? It seems... It seems that this method is indeed feasible, right?"

"It's hard to say." Hesta half-opened his eyes, his expression remained unchanged, "What did they tell you, please explain carefully."

"Okay." Gustav nodded vigorously, "They boarded the ship earlier than us, but they refused to say when, but before we boarded the ship, they hadn't shown any signs for more than a month. Casualties, because there is a way for most people to avoid all the risks on board—that is what Ms. Hesta mentioned just now: the guardianship system.

"We only need to select some people to be guardians! Let a small group of people fulfill the passenger obligations in the "Detailed Rules", and the rest of us will become 'risk passengers' under their guardianship, so that , most of us can jump out of the confinement of this cruise ship: no travel pressure, just stay in the cabin, and will not be attacked by those monsters—”

"I don't understand..." Tasia raised her hand, "Didn't it mean that those monsters belonged to them too? Those monsters also attacked themselves?"

"Yes, but those monsters are not welcome among them!" Gustav argued, "I also saw those people at the banquet—they all huddled in the corner drinking, and no one wanted to talk to them, If these people dare to approach anyone, the crew will teach them a lesson immediately!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"...Isn't this still a group?" Adams looked strange, "How reliable are the words of these people?"

"Actually, I didn't want to say it so early!" Gustav said hastily, "I wanted to tell Helen and Ms. Hesta about this in private, and then let them decide, but...but you also saw it just now. Here, even General Bernhard is under guardianship, so—”

Adams looked at Hesta: "Why did the crew take Bernhard away?"

"Risk passengers also have rules they need to abide by: limit vegetarian food, not wear weapons, reduce unnecessary going out, and pay attention to appearance." Hesta said softly, "And Bernhard violated the rule of not wearing weapons... it should be so."

"Vegetarian? Still limited?"

Hesta recalled for a moment, "... the net weight of food should not exceed 0.6kg a day."

After a moment of astonishment, many people started to laugh. Several soldiers accompanying Bernhard couldn't help but blushed, as if they had also been insulted: "Impossible! How could the general sign such a thing!"

Hesta didn't argue, just shrugged slightly.

"Can I add something?" Gustav asked softly.

"Add what?"

"Limited vegetarian food is just a...well, a ritual thing, in fact, you don't need to feel pressure at all," Gustav added, "As long as you are accompanied by a guardian, the food at the banquet is unlimited, and, in principle, In other words, in fact, risky passengers can go to the banquet every night to eat - as long as the passenger invited that night is a guardian, even if it is not the one who guardians you, but as long as the person is willing to provide you with short-term guardianship, that is all possible.

"Like I ate a lot of things last night..." Gustav patted his stomach, "but there is no problem at all! No one came to trouble me!"

Hearing this, Adams and the others looked at Helen bewilderedly.

"...Are you already a guardian?"

Only then did Gustav realize that he had spoken too much, and immediately covered his mouth.

Helen glanced at him, "What's the use of covering your mouth now?"

"So are you anyway?" Adams pressed.

"Yes," the smile on Helen's face faded, and she looked at Hesta, "If I had known that you were also a guardian, I wouldn't have bothered to pretend."
