Why it never ends

"It makes sense," Bernhard muttered in a low voice. He gritted his teeth and looked at the table. "I made a wrong decision...I'm paying the price for it now."

Tasia couldn't bear it: "Don't be sad, I believe Ms. Hesta must be kind..."

"She—" Bernhard was about to say something when he suddenly realized that Si Lei was sitting opposite him.He had no choice but to swallow all the complaints, forced himself to calm down, and peeled off the eggshell bit by bit.

Su Lei had already heard the meaning behind the words, she thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's better not to draw conclusions now, it's hard to tell what happened right now."

Bernhard chuckled a few times, "There's no need to comfort me...I know you're a good person, Su Lei, but there's no need to say this, it's pointless."

Su Lei was considering how to respond, when he heard the knife and fork in Tasia's hand suddenly drop on the dining table - Tasia's eyes widened, looking at the entrance of the restaurant.

Su Lei and Bernhard also turned their heads at the same time.

Helen walked in awkwardly alone—she was still wearing the dark blue vest and jeans from before, her arms and fingers were stained with some gray-black stains, but there were no wounds on her body.

Adams was the first to get up and walk towards her. There was still some blood on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care. He just chased Helen all the way and asked her where she went last night, and why she didn't join everyone during the security check. Go to the shelter.

Helen acted as if she didn't hear anything, she went straight to a place away from the crowd and sat down.She started calling the crew to order food, but Adams continued to chatter and ask, so Helen immediately grabbed him by the collar and punched him hard. Several crew members quickly stepped forward and dragged Adams away in public.

Tasia chased after them with some worry, and what happened next even surprised her—after she tried to stop her, several crew members actually stopped and explained to her carefully that Adams was forcibly left behind. Take the risk, as if she is some kind of big shot worth taking seriously.

Tasia's face gradually burned, and this inexplicable respect came so suspiciously that she even had a certain illusion—as if she was hypocritically playing a role, a role that didn't belong to her at all.

The leading crew member looked at her, "...For these reasons, we hope you will respect our work."

Tasia came back to her senses, "No, you can't take him away, we're about to have today's regular meeting!"

"Then are you willing to vouch for him?"

"Guarantee?" Tasia was taken aback, "Uh, yes, what happened just now must have been an accident, because Mr. Adams is not usually like this, it's just..."

"Okay, then we can let him go now."

"What exactly do I need to do?"

Several crew members looked at each other again, "You don't need to do anything extra, you are the guardian, of course you can vouch for him."

The crew let go of Adams' shoulders, and several of his friends immediately stepped forward to help Adams back to the restaurant with a sullen face.

Tasia watched several people leave.

"...Is there really nothing I need to do?" Tasia blinked. "Sign? Or something—"

The leading crew member smiled: "You are a guardian, which means you are trustworthy. If you need any help next, please feel free to call us."

"……it is good."

Several crew members left, and Tasia stood where she was, suddenly remembering the end of the "Suggestions for Daytime Activities"—every passenger with good conduct and noble character should be a guardian.

But in fact, she didn't become trustworthy in order to become a guardian, on the contrary, she was directly regarded as a trustworthy object because she became a guardian.There is no moral part in the process of becoming a guardian. All it needs is to obtain the consent of the risky passenger and get the other party's ship card...

What's the point of this.

Tasia returned to her seat, and she moved the chair a little towards Su Lei.

"...Can we ask Helen what happened last night?" Tasia asked Si Lei, "Since she didn't come back last night, maybe she also knows Philip's whereabouts?"

Su Lei shook his head, "Wait a minute."

She was always watching Helen's back. Today's Helen is still as arrogant and tough as usual, but most of the sense of calm and calm like yesterday has faded.

Something must have happened last night.

"Hello, Ms. Su Lei?"

A voice came from diagonally behind. Si Lei turned his head and saw a completely unfamiliar face.She also wore the uniform of the crew, but the style was subtly different from those just now.

"you are?"

The visitor leaned over: "Ms. Hesta asked me to tell you a few things, it's not convenient to talk here, do you think we can go to the side?"

……

As time passed, most of the passengers gathered in Bishop's restaurant again. As soon as Gustav entered the restaurant, he happily ran towards Helen, but Helen pushed him away violently, with a face of not approaching strangers. .

At nine o'clock, Hesta still didn't show up, but Su Lei finally returned to his seat. Tasia leaned over curiously, "How did the talk go, Officer Su Lei?"

Su Lei shook his head, didn't answer, but just looked ahead with a complicated expression.

"By the way," Su Lei remembered something, "Philip is fine."

Before Tasia had time to ask more, Su Lei had already stood up and announced that today's regular meeting would start without Hesta's presence.

As usual, under Si Lei's order, Tasia began to tell the story of what happened last night, so as to share her experience of attending the banquet with everyone.She spoke quickly about this part--apparently the confrontation between those women was the least important thing, and once these topics were omitted, all she could talk about was a few hours at the banquet.

"Then... the security checks started, Philip and I were separated at that time, I went down the escape route to the second deck, and then a bartender opened the door for me... I stayed there It's this morning." Tasia turned her head, "Officer Su Lei told me that Philip is still alive, I don't know..."

"You left out an important detail," Su Lei reminded, "the brooch."

"Oh yes, the brooch, yes, we also wore the brooch last night..." Tasia involuntarily glanced at Helen, "I gave him the brooch... Where is Philip now?"

"He has already been sent back to the cabin." Su Lei replied, "...Maybe, he is not in a good spirit."
