Why it never ends

"Stop deceiving yourself, if this is really a game, then there is nothing you can't lose," Lico pressed Hesta's shoulder, restraining her all actions, "I really don't understand, didn't we know everything earlier Is Anna behind the scenes? She planned all the plots, she wanted to kill people, and she wanted to have fun—but it has nothing to do with us, why are you two desperately trying...Si Lei is stubborn, and you are also crazy. Stunned!?"

"Okay, then this is not a game," Hesta murmured in a low voice, "It's just another way of saying it, but it doesn't hinder the continuation of the game... You're not at the scene, you don't know, tonight is not our desperate effort, but— —”

"It's not a matter of 'discourse'! Why, you and I can explain it clearly!" Li Ke couldn't understand, his voice was suppressed and surprised, "There is no reason, you don't want to go out of this door—from now until you disembark, except Stay in solitary confinement in this ward, and you won't be able to go anywhere."

"...Li Ke, calm down."

Li Ke suddenly raised his voice, "Calm down!"

"I'm calm."

"I told you to calm down, I want you to calmly think about what you are doing, not to calmly go crazy here!"

"I..." Hesta's throat moved, and she closed her eyes for a while. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice, "...I actually have a feeling, and I had it a long time ago."

"What does it feel like."

"I feel like if I go through the steps...I'm going to have an answer."

"what is the answer."

"...the answer to many things," Hesta frowned slightly, "what confuses me, troubles me... There will be an answer, the answer Anna gave, maybe I don't necessarily agree with it, but as long as it continues—"

"OK, stop, you made me dizzy." Li Ke raised his hand and made a stop motion, "You said you need an answer, so tell me what your specific problem is first."

Both fell into a brief silence.

Seeing that Hesta still didn't respond, Li Ke continued: "People always have questions before looking for answers! You talk about a lot of things—things that bother you and confuse you. What is it after all? Do you want Anna to What answer?"

Hesta looked calm, she looked at Rico: "It's hard for me to express these feelings clearly in a few words."

"Can you explain clearly in a few words, or do you not even think about the problem at all?"

"I've been thinking about it," Hesta said in a low voice, "it's true that I did many things intuitively after boarding the ship, and I didn't spend much time thinking about it, but I know that if I have to wait until I think about the problem clearly It's too late to find the answer."

Hesta raised his head, "Maybe looking for questions, but also looking for answers."

Rico stood up and walked to the door.

There was a clear sound of metal collision, and the latch on the door was pushed into the lock, and Lico turned his head.

"Maybe you don't even think about going out tonight, just rest."

……

At midnight, all the passengers gathered on the bow deck, wrapped in thin blankets, silently looking at the still smoking cabin.

Shortly after the explosion, the entire fifth-floor passenger cabin was engulfed in raging flames. Those orange-red flames shot upward along the windows, and the thick black smoke melted into the night, as if it was a low-level cloud that could not see the moonlight.

However, the open flame lasted less than 10 minutes before it was extinguished.

No one saw how the fire was put out—there were no lights from rescuers in the darkened cabin windows, and no crew members gave water from outside the cabin.Some passengers insisted that they had seen the flames blacken the window sills of the sixth deck, but now that the ship was out of the cloud-shrouded sea, the entire hull surface of the sixth deck looked intact, without any burns. burn marks.

People stopped talking and stood there with complicated expressions.

Suddenly, several men who had been sitting on the ground stood up one after another. The companions beside them followed the gazes of these people, only to find that the mercury needle who always wore overalls appeared in the open space not far away. .

The deck at the bow was not lit, Chiba's outline was not clear, but her white shirt was particularly conspicuous in the dark.A little spark ignited between her, just lit up her face, and then went out in an instant, so many times, Qianye shook the cheap lighter in his hand, and the man on the other side quickly stepped forward to light a cigarette for her .

Coincidentally, Chiba's lighter fired a steady flame at this moment.

The man shrugged back to his original position.

Qianye walked under the moonlight, "Why are everyone here?"

"There's been an explosion in the cabin, ma'am." One of them pointed high up. "If we're still in the room, it's going to happen by now."

"I heard it." Chiba replied, "Your people must have done it."

"How is it possible," the man's eyes widened. "This has nothing to do with us."

"Then how did you come out early, who notified you?"

The man was speechless for a while, Qianye looked at his companion behind him - no one answered.

"Don't be nervous," Qianye glanced at the smoldering cabin above, turned around and gave everyone a very friendly smile, "I just happened to pass by, and I wanted to ask you guys if you don't sleep at night, so if you do this, What do you think?"

The other man frowned, "You must have misunderstood something..."

Chiba turned to him.

The man originally wanted to say a lot, but he dared not lie to Qianye's eyes.

"That's it, ma'am," another person stepped forward, "We saw two people fall from the top tonight...the two you know—"

"Don't tell me this," Qianye waved her hand casually, "I don't care, and I don't participate."

"But they seem to be seriously injured! It's really serious!" The man pointed to the high place, "Just jumping directly from such a high place, we didn't see how the two of them came out. It happened, and Ms. Hestad grabbed Officer Sley—yes, one of them was Ms. Hestad, and the other was Officer Sley—but she didn’t, and the two of them must be in trouble now!”

"You've all seen it," Qianye lowered his jaw slightly, and even lowered his voice a lot, "Everyone is waiting in advance, watch here?"

"Not at all..." The man shook his head, "It's just a coincidence, I didn't expect... How could such a thing be thought of."

"That's good," Qianye smiled, "otherwise, you guys really deserve to die."

The faces of the men changed, and before they had time to ask, Qianye had already turned around, and she waved the back of her hand, "Okay, you can wish for yourselves."

"Ma'am!" The man shouted towards her back, "In this situation, maybe we should start a new round of selection of adjudicators—"

"I've said it all, I won't participate." Qianye climbed over a railing and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, "You can figure it out yourself."
