Why it never ends

"Isn't that just right?" Li Ke looked at Hesta, "Since she wants to be the arbiter, why don't you just leave this mess to her? Anyway, we are all on the boat now, so it doesn't affect you to watch these things Man goes on to 'play the game'—"

Hesta looked away, "No."

"Why not."

"If we had done nothing from the beginning and let Goebbels arrange everyone's itinerary, there should not be many thorn monks on board. When all the male passengers are killed, the game will If it ends right away, then we won’t be able to see anything—boycott monks, Loboglier, Eden, the [-]th District, "Shen Yao Ji"... We have no way of knowing about these things."

Li Ke was silent for a while, "...so among the three of us, I'm the only one who doesn't care about these things?"

"You have worked hard." Su Lei said sincerely.

"But I think we should all be much more relaxed in the next period of time." Hesta said softly.

Li Ke was noncommittal: "...Are you sure?"

"I also have this feeling," Su Lei said softly, "Looking back...the banquet should be a key point.

"During Goebbelin's tenure as arbiter, every guest invited to the banquet was a male passenger. Except for Gustav, the rest of the people were killed; and after Jane became the arbiter, all the passengers invited to the banquet were male passengers. Turning female - me, Helen, and today Tasia...it was almost a turning point from death to survival."

"The night you went to the banquet, we were almost trapped there." Li Ke reminded.

"...I have a few guesses," Hesta looked at her, "you were besieged, maybe because Su Lei is not your guardian, maybe because you are not a passenger with a ticket to board the ship, or because the two of you asked to go Met with Robeau-Grillet—the last point is the most likely."

"I've thought about this too," Si Lei said, "After all, compared to the previous monks with thorns who received invitations to the banquet, my entire banquet process went very smoothly."

"Indeed," Hesta echoed, "those monks with thorns have no way out from the beginning—they will die if they choose the wrong guarantor, and they will die if they choose the wrong accessories. Even if they choose the right accessories, if they fail to find The gemstone brooch is still going to die. Not to mention what will happen to them as potential risk passengers after going to the banquet alone..."

"How many female passengers are there in total on our ship?" Su Lei asked.

"There seems to be five or six." Hesta counted, "You and I, Tasia, Helen, the person whose jewelry was robbed by René before... and, um..."

Li Ke frowned: "It seems that's all there is?"

"No, there are two more," Su Lei suddenly remembered two people, "Agnes and Meyer—both of them came up with a ticket."

Hesta was stunned for a few seconds.

right.

I talked to Anna about them last night...

"There's also Anna," Hesta said suddenly, "Anna is also the person who has a ticket to board the ship—she is also an official passenger."

"so……?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly," Hesta whispered, "Then guardians will only be produced from these few people."

"Speaking of guardians," Sleigh paused, "is it time for you to pick up Bernhard..."

"Ah." Hesta was taken aback, "I forgot."

……

"Helen!"

In the corridor on the second deck, Tasia finally saw the two familiar figures—Helen was leading Gustav down the stairwell.

"You help me take my things to the front desk first, and wait for me there." Helen instructed Gustav.

"OK……"

Soon there were only the two of them left in the hallway.

"What's the matter," Helen said with a smile, "Would you like to find a place to sit down and talk?"

"I...I want to ask about that brooch." Tasia kept her eyes on the ground, "Did you...really lose it?"

Helen looked at Tasia for a long time before saying, "That's right."

"I don't believe it..." Tasia squeezed her sleeves tightly, "The brooch must still be with you..."

"Who said that, Hesta? Su Lei?" Helen turned her head slightly, "They kept you here just to tell you this?"

Tasia raised her head, "You don't need to mention them!"

"...Oh, what are you doing so loudly?" Helen smiled and covered her ears, "What did they say to you?"

"They asked me to... find a risky passenger as soon as possible to be a guardian."

"I told you earlier, but if you don't believe me, they have to tell you—"

"What do I have to do before you lend me the brooch?" Tasia stepped forward, "Or I can be your risky passenger—"

"Stop talking stupidly, Tasia," Helen's face suddenly turned cold, "Leave the guardian alone and become a dangerous passenger. What's the use of me having one more dangerous passenger?"

"Then I'll find someone today, and I'll find a way to become a guardian today—but can't you really lend me that brooch? I'll definitely return it to you when the banquet is over!"

"... so anxious?" Helen laughed lowly, "Didn't Hesta say today that she has other ways?"

"She didn't...she told me to become a guardian immediately, and after I became a guardian, I would have nothing to do if I went to the banquet," Tasia said in a very low voice, "but you and Si Lei both wore brooches. If I don't Dai, I'm afraid in case..."

"Fortunately, it's not too stupid." Helen interrupted Tasia's whisper, "Listen, brooch, I can lend it to you."

Tasia's eyes lit up almost immediately.

"But there are conditions."

"I can agree to any conditions!"

"Don't be too early," Helen folded her arms, "...you need it, give me your ship card."

Tasia opened her mouth slightly and did not speak for a long time.

"What's the matter, don't want to?"

"But... the iron law says..."

"Just now I said that you are not stupid," Helen shook her head, "Don't you understand? Hesta can't get a new brooch now, which means that Su Lei has already passed the second floor. "Details" It was posted by Hesta, do you know how many things she made up in it?"

"...But the ship card," Tasia's eyes fell again, "can't we change the conditions?"

"Besides handing over your ship card, don't think about anything else."

"Then...can you let me go back and think about it?"

"No, let's make a decision here." Helen raised her jaw slightly, "If you say that you don't have the ship card on you now, then we have nothing else to say—I don't have much time for you to waste, now, Just answer me."

After a long silence, Tasia finally murmured.

"……Can."

Helen gave a smile.

Tasia gritted her teeth, and said after a while: "But... I also need to confirm your ship card first."
