Why it never ends

The companion standing behind the man frowned, "Why are you telling her this, aren't she and Hesta all in the same group..."

"She will know sooner or later," the man withdrew his gaze, "I can still see her reaction now."

The companion cast a noncommittal glance in the direction where Chiba disappeared, "What do you think of her reaction?"

The man didn't answer, but just looked at his companion with meaningful eyes, "What time is it?"

"It's more than one o'clock..." The companion glanced at his watch, "One o'clock five, shall we stay here all night?"

"Wait a minute, there's no news from Fayence. He said he'll get back in touch before two o'clock."

The companion looked at the man and wanted to continue the topic just now, but the man just patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "If you can't see it, don't ask."

……

Deep below the open-air deck, Chiba walked through an unlit area with ease, and finally stopped in front of a tightly closed metal door with a blank expression.The thick metal door panels soon began to shrink inwards from the walls on both sides, giving way to the entrance to the room.

"Have you overplayed it?" Chiba strode in, "It's best to do something like this today for the last time, otherwise I won't turn a blind eye to it again."

The sofa chair not far away turned on its own and stopped precisely in the direction of Chiba.

"Is this considered too much?" Anna propped her cheeks with two fingers, and turned slightly sideways, "I didn't use anyone's body as a consumable."

Chiba narrowed her eyes, "Who do you think uses the body as a consumable? Me?"

"A little ambiguity, don't mind." Anna smiled, "But your Hesta and Sulei are fine, you don't have to—"

"I repeat," Qianye interrupted Anna, she dragged a chair to her side, stepped on the edge of the chair with both feet, and sat on the back of the chair, "I brought Jane on board to recuperate, little It’s okay to make small troubles, but it’s not okay to hurt your muscles and bones.”

"Okay, no, I'll pay attention in the future." Anna looked at Chiba, "Did you meet those passengers just now?"

Qianye stretched her neck, "I wanted to teach them a lesson."

"Then why did you come back directly?"

The two looked at each other.

Qianye shook the chair body slightly, raised the front legs of the chair, and the weight-bearing chair legs made a slight creaking sound, but she still maintained a delicate balance.

"Think about it, don't dirty my hands." Chiba clasped her fingers and raised her legs, "Do you find it interesting to play games with these people, Anna?"

"Yes. Have you ever heard the story of the mermaid?" Anna said softly, "The mermaid at the bottom of the sea wanted human legs, so she begged the witch and exchanged her voice for it."

Qianye frowned slightly, "What does this have to do with you? Do you think you are a mermaid?"

"I'm a witch," Anna replied with a smile. "The only difference is that instead of legs, what I give is a bomb."

"As long as you're happy." Qianye jumped down from the chair suddenly, "I remind you that the loss of contact with the Shengming has entered the field of vision of AHgAs, and the search and rescue will begin within two days."

"I know, Zero has already told me," Anna said softly, "To search for a small ship on such a large sea, they don't have the technology of District [-], they are not very capable..."

"Sooner or later."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Anna smiled slightly, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Qianye glanced at the alarm clock on the table not far away, "It's already past dinner time, why?"

"Then... tomorrow morning, do you have time tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"It's something more suitable for talking at the dinner table," Anna said softly, "Hard Rock Bar?"

"Bishop Restaurant." Chiba whispered.

Anna sighed lightly: "...OK."

……

Early the next morning, Agnes and Meyer came back to the entrance to the luggage room—the mechanical door that Agnes had never opened opened slowly, just as Hesta had promised.

Meyer stood behind Agnes, watching the changes in front of her nervously.

The door opened, but neither of them moved.

"You can leave from here." A machine-synthesized female voice suddenly sounded, startling the two of them.

"Let's go out?" Meyer whispered.

"Yeah." Agnes nodded in the wheelchair.

As soon as the two stepped out of the door, the door behind them closed by itself.A series of lights lit up along the steps, slowly extending upwards—the narrow iron steps looked worn and steep.

Meyer walked up quickly, and after climbing half a floor on the net, she was sure that she would not be able to bring Agnes up alone anyway.

"Iger, why don't you wait here, I'll go up and call someone—"

When Meyer turned her head, she saw Agnes fiddling with an iron bump on the edge of the banister.

"Don't move!" Meyer quickly ran back to Agnes, "What are you going to do, I'll do it, don't do anything... What are these things?"

"Looks like a power plant, not sure..."

Following Agnes' instructions, Meyer quickly inserted the metal joint on the stair rail into a notch in a wheelchair bearing.Agnes pressed the up button on the outside of the joint, and the metal joint connected to the wheelchair began to move upwards, and did not stop until she was about four or five centimeters away from the person carrying her.

Meyer gasped.

Iger continued to press the up button, and the metal joint began to move up the armrest.

Meyer followed Agnes, walking up step by step.

"The furnishings here look quite broken," Agnes whispered, "I didn't expect the design to be so handicapped and friendly..."

Soon, the two were on the open-air deck, and the long-lost sunlight fell on them, but they didn't stay for too long, and they were both attracted by a semi-open-air tea restaurant not far away.

Although it is breakfast time, there are not many people in this tea restaurant, perhaps because most people are still used to eating at Bishop's restaurant, no matter in the morning or at night...

However, as soon as the door was pushed open, they heard a roar.

"I said, I need two more muffins!!"

"Sir, please pay attention to your attitude..."

"I'm hungry, I need food!! It's on the shelf behind you!! How many times do I have to say that?"

"Your reaction is really scary."

"Then pass me the muffin!!"

Meyer instinctively wanted to leave, but Agnes called out in surprise, "Mr. Bernhard...?"

Bernhard, whose neck was already red from shouting, was also stunned. He turned around and found Sister Agnes standing at the door—they had obviously seen everything that happened just now.

In an instant, countless expressions flashed across Bernhard's face - embarrassment, panic, shame and anger... and a little calmness as if nothing had happened.

"There are too many people up there, so I'll come down to eat," Bernhard raised his head, "It's clean here."
