Why it never ends

Chapter 536 Muddy Waters
"Why don't you take the initiative to report that you are already a guardian?" Hesta asked.

"You haven't mentioned to anyone—"

"Who do I need to talk to, you?"

Helen looked away, "...I didn't mean to offend you, but don't bother me, okay?"

"Your thinking is dangerous."

"Is it dangerous... Who knows, can I take Gustav away now?"

Hesta looked at Gustav: "Do they have anything else they want you to bring?"

Gustav shook his head, "I should have said everything I need to say...the guardian system is a method they have verified, and they said that this way they can survive until the day they disembark..."

"Is it okay until the day I disembark?" Adams asked. "Do they know what's going on with this ship?"

There was silence everywhere, no one could answer this question, someone threw the napkin in his hand on the table, and lay down on the table with his head in his arms.

Hesta pressed the hand that Rico raised just now.

The sides of her cheeks began to tingle and itch, making her want to reach out and scratch, but Su Lei forcibly held back—any unnecessary movements at the moment might make her behavior look even more suspicious.

"You are very arrogant."

"I think you still don't understand, but that's okay," Hesta said softly, "I'll let you understand."

"I also have an impression," Tasia echoed, "What Police Officer Su Lei said at the time was indeed somewhat ambiguous, but he definitely didn't mention the second floor."

"Su Lei didn't say that." Hesta whispered.

"Helen..." Tasia had already noticed the sparks in the two people's words. She tried to persuade them to make peace, but looking around, she really didn't know what to say.

Helen pursed her lips, a little unhappy, "So a crew member gave the brooch directly to Si Lei, huh?"

"I--"

"Really?" Helen also looked towards Su Lei: "Hey, where did Officer Su Lei's brooch come from?"

"Yes, yes." Helen nodded, "I understand what you mean."

"lost?"

"You're not threatening me, are you?" Helen took a few steps forward, "You are the adjudicator...but you have already announced all the details, how can you threaten me?"

Helen raised her head, pretending to be a memory: "I remember you seem to say that you didn't do anything, and the staff on the second floor gave you the brooch directly?"

Gustav trembled slightly and lowered his head.

"But, if that's the case...do I have to go down to the second floor..."

"Shut your mouth about Gustav." Helen reprimanded in a low voice.

"Only the consequences of violating the iron law cannot be undone," Hesta's voice raised slightly, overpowering Helen's justification, and when the entire restaurant was silent, she spoke the next half of the sentence in a normal volume: " ...restrain your curiosity."

"Why don't you speak anymore, Officer Su Lei," Helen said softly, "I remember Gustav asked you the same question yesterday, what did you say at that time?"

Tasia slowly raised her hand, "Me."

"It's not a bad thing either. In some respects, this is also, um... a compliment to you?" Helen stretched out two fingers, pointing at Hesta and Rico respectively, "You, and Rico , both of you are very typical mercury needles...you wouldn't attack a commoner like me, because you can't do such a thing, right?"

"There are indeed some safe ways to get the brooch..." Hesta whispered, "Helen, this is the last time I warn you not to make such senseless temptations again. You should remember that there is a clause in the "Detailed Rules", It is specially designed to warn people like you."

"Yes, many people should have heard it. Su Lei's original words were 'I didn't do anything, the brooch was given to me'." Hesta looked at Helen, "She never said 'minus two. layer staff' kind of words."

"Go and get another one." Helen put her arms around her arms, "It was originally a brooch issued by the ship, so they must have prepared a lot of brooches, right?"

"In particular, when we find that some people are curious about the consequences of violating the iron law, but they don't want to take the risk themselves, so they start thinking about how to push other people down to see the aftermath...we won't stand by and watch."

Just as Si Lei was about to answer, Gustav spoke first, "Aren't they all in the bar on the second floor? That's what it says in the invitation letter—"

Si Lei coughed lightly, "...who received the invitation to the banquet today?"

"Ah, that..." Helen opened her eyes slightly, "I accidentally lost it."

Su Lei looked at Helen, "Give the brooch to Tasia before you leave."

Hesta was silent for a moment, but she kept looking into Helen's eyes.

"I'm just mentioning that Officer Sley once—"

"What brooch?" Helen asked.

Su Lei held his breath.

"It's very accurate, yes, we are such mercury needles."

"Yes, are you sure?"

But she was different. Everyone knew that she picked up the brooch after reading the "Detailed Rules".

Su Lei frowned slightly: "The scepter brooch you took from me yesterday, the one with the sapphire?"

Li Ke was pointed again, and he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable: "You——"

Looking at Helen's nonchalant gaze, Su Lei suddenly realized the problem——Gustav hadn't read the "Detailed Rules" when he went down to the second floor, which meant that entering the second floor at that time didn't mean Going against the iron law.

is it?

"Sure," Tasia nodded, "because I was thinking at the time, if she went to the second floor, it would violate the iron law—if she clearly said that she went to the second floor, how could I There is such a question."

Tasia's face paled, "Then...then I..."

"Did I remember wrong?" Helen looked around, "Many people must have heard it at the time."

"Yes." Helen raised her hand and brushed the hair on the back of her head: "It should have been lost during dancing last night, after all, the movements were a bit too big when dancing... Anyway, I didn't see it when I woke up this morning, no Excuse me."

"There is no such thing." Helen turned her head and waved her finger at Gustav, "I guess today's meeting should have ended, right? As the arbiter, don't be late next time, everyone is here Waiting for you, waiting for two hours...is a bit too much."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Helen took Gustav out of the restaurant.People were shocked by her rudeness to the two mercury needles. On the current ship, no one could have such confidence—either Helen was dying, or she must have known something that would definitely save her life.

"The meeting is over." Hesta said softly, "Tasia stay here."

People filed out, and Hesta heard some shouts from the corridor. Several people were calling Helen's name. The voices gradually faded away and disappeared with the sound of footsteps.
