Why it never ends

Helen burst out laughing suddenly, and Tasia limped away amidst the laughter.When she pushed open the door of the stairwell and came to the uninhabited steps, she stopped suddenly, sat on the stairs covering her face and began to cry.

In tears, Tasia suddenly resented everyone equally.

everyone.Those who are present and those who are not, those who are alive and those who have long since left, those who are silent and those who talk loudly...

What would happen if the ship sank immediately?Everyone dies together, everyone, no matter good or evil, domineering or weak, everyone drowns fairly together, what will happen?Anyway, by that time, there won't be so many difficult things to endure, let's go through them one by one!

As soon as this sharp thought crossed her mind, the rational alarm sounded in an instant: the sporadic pleasure that had just arisen in her had not formed yet, and she had already startled herself—what a vicious thought... It's unbelievable how I came up with such an idea.Fear and loathing intertwine into a more complex pain.

Suddenly, Tasia felt something jump to her hand, and before she could see what it was, she heard a cat meowing.

A big white cat jumped out of nowhere and was looking at her with its head tilted.

"Heh..." Tasia breathed a sigh of relief, "Little thing..."

The white cat meowed and jumped onto her lap naturally.

Tasia straightened up to give the white cat more space, and touched the cat's neck, where there was no leash or collar.

"...Whose family do you belong to?" Tasia asked choked up.

The cat didn't answer.

She talked to the kitten in her arms one after another, and every two or three sentences, the white cat meowed.Of course cats can't understand what people are saying, Tasia thought, but it's nice to have a kitten at this time.

After a quarter of an hour, Tasia's tears stopped completely. She took a deep breath and decided to take the cat back.As soon as she got up, the cat broke free from her hand.

Tasia turned her head: "...Where are you going?"

The white cat quietly walked to the edge of the stairwell and began to slam the door.The door panel remained motionless, the white cat turned around and barked twice at Tasia.

"Are you going to this deck?" Tasia was very surprised, "But it's dangerous inside..."

The cat was unmoved, but continued to meow at Tasia.

"No," Tasia stepped forward and hugged the white cat again, "This is not a place where a kitten should go, you still—ah!"

The white cat's front paws scratched Tasia's shirt, and the cat fell back to the ground steadily. It ran two steps forward and looked back at Tasia on the stairs leading to the first deck. One glance, and then quickly disappeared from her field of vision.

Tasia chased to the first floor, but still couldn't find it anywhere, until she walked towards the viewing deck, and suddenly met Qianye who was oncoming—she recognized the Mercury Needle in overalls at a glance, The position of this person is obviously higher than Hesta and Rico...

Chiba held the cat by the back of the neck with one hand, like a bag of flour, she walked towards this side with a blank expression, and passed Tasia by the shoulder.

"That... lady!" Tasia turned around, her heart pounding.

Chiba stopped.

"Did you call me?"

"Yes, cats... adult cats can't be lifted like that," Tasia pointed at the white cat. "Adult cats are much heavier than kittens. Lifting them like this may strain the muscles around their necks, so..."

Qianye laughed, she dragged the cat's butt with one hand, and held the cat's two front feet with the other hand, "Like this?"

"Yes..." Tasia took a deep breath, "I would like to ask, this cat is—"

Before she finished speaking, Chiba had already brought the cat into the entrance of the corner cabin. Tasia hesitated for a while whether to chase after her, but when she walked to the place where Chiba disappeared, there was no one there.

Looking at the empty inner hall, Tasia felt a little dazed—each of these mercury needles was more mysterious than the other.

……

Near nine o'clock, Tasia changed into a dress and stood in front of the mirror.

Earlier, at the suggestion of Hester, she randomly grabbed a crew member and told him that she wanted to bring risky passengers to the dinner party. Sure enough, shortly after that, another crew member sent it again Another dress for Philip, a little out of size, but acceptable.

Tasia looked at herself in the mirror, half of the redness and swelling on her face had disappeared, but the embarrassing thing was that there were still clear finger marks. In the afternoon, both Su Lei and Hesta asked her what was going on, and she remained silent. After a long time, he said that he accidentally hit the wall.Li Ke was still staring at her cheek, and asked seriously: Are you sure you hit the wall?

Tasia looked at the bruise on her forehead, pressed it gently, and felt an unbearable pain.

"Tasia, are you ready?" Philip's voice came from outside the door.

"come in."

Philip pushed open the door and found that the lights in the room were not turned on. A little afterglow of the setting sun shone down, and the whole room was in a dim dusk.Tasia was standing in the shadow of the furniture, the outline of the entire front of her body was immersed in darkness.

This scene made Philip feel a little strange.

"Tasia..."

Tasia turned her head, "Already leaving?"

"Yes, but no one came to pick us up..."

"Is the elevator fixed?"

"Elevator?" Philip froze for a moment, "I didn't notice...Didn't Gustav go to a new one last night—"

"Hersta said that if the elevator returns to normal before nine o'clock, then the dinner party should still be held at the old place tonight. If so, there is no need for the crew to pick us up."

"Is that so..." Philip smiled and walked to Tasia's side, "Why do you think she knows everything?"

"Because she is the judge." Tasia turned around and walked towards Philip. Philip's eyes were immediately attracted by the scepter brooch on her chest.

"This is the brooch that Helen took from Su Lei before..."

Tasia looked down, "Yes."

"Such a big sapphire...is it real? If it is real, it must be worth a lot..." Philip murmured, "Can you show me this brooch?"

Tasia directly took off the brooch and handed it to Philip.

Philip immediately turned on the lights in the room, and put the brooch under the light source for a closer look, "It's so beautiful... No wonder the person wearing it is safe."

"what?"

Philip also stood in front of the mirror. He compared the brooch to his chest, and looked left and right at the changing luster on the gemstone.

"The ones who can wear this kind of accessories should only be those distinguished guests..." Philip turned his head, "Didn't Helen say that her brooch was lost? Why did I give it to you again?"
