Why it never ends

It was nearly nine o'clock, and in the medical room, Hesta folded his arms, facing some food on the small table in front of him, completely unmoved.

"It's been a whole night, aren't you hungry?" Li Ke asked.

"Hungry," replied Hesta.

"Eat if you're hungry."

Hesta looked at Rico, "Unless you let me out."

Li Ke brought the entire dinner plate in front of him, "...OK, eat it or not."

In Hesta's presence, she began to chew.

Hesta's throat moved, and he looked away, "... If you really want to imprison me here, I will not only not eat breakfast, but also lunch and dinner, and I will not drink water either."

"Anyway, you've been hanging water," Lico pointed to the hanging bottle above Hesta's head, "I'll ask the nurse to add two bottles of glucose to you later."

"I'm injured, and I need to supplement protein at this time..."

"Then you eat."

"You let me go to see Si Lei and I'll eat it."

"Don't think about it."

"Then I won't eat."

"Then don't eat it."

Li Ke stuffed the last remaining whole boiled egg into her mouth, she chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it whole.

Looking at the empty dinner plate in front of him, Hesta scratched his head, "...Aren't you worried about Su Lei's situation? Even if I'm not allowed to go, why don't you go and have a look yourself?"

"I went to take a look when you were sleeping last night, and you are fine." Li Ge said softly, "It is best for you both to lie down and not move, it is the most reassuring."

Hesta took a deep breath, "I can't be absent for too long, otherwise Fayence and the others will stir up trouble—"

"Let them disturb," Li Ke raised his chin, "he has the ability to disturb here, I will let him know what I am here for."

Hesta let out a low sigh helplessly, and leaned back on the head of the bed, "...what on earth are you willing to let me out, you have been helping us all the time before—whether it's me or Si Lei, you All--"

"I can't control what Si Lei is doing. If you can persuade him, you can persuade him. If you can't persuade him, you can pull him down..." Li Ke raised his foot and put his ankle on the edge of Hesta's bed, "I wish I knew you were so superior, I stopped it a long time ago! Yes, you can enter the bullet time, but you couldn't handle the situation last night—"

"I can't handle it, but when the pseudo-chelate attacked Gustav, I also participated in the close combat, and you didn't block me because of my physical condition..."

Li Ke frowned, "We didn't know that these things were arranged by Anna at the time!"

"Now that you know everything, shouldn't you be more at ease?"

"Can it be the same?" Rico's voice became a little irritable again, she stared at Hesta, "At that time, I took risks because I didn't know who the enemy was or where the enemy was, so I had to let you stay by my side— —”

"Now you can also follow me to see Su Lei," Hesta whispered, "I didn't say that I would go alone..."

"But is there any need to take risks now?" Lico interrupted Hesta's words again, "Sile is to save people, what are you doing for it? Playing this unrealistic game with Anna on this ship Family, is it worth your life—”

Hesta adjusted the pillow behind her.

"I've always felt that Su Lei is like my peers. There are only a few moments when I realize that she is much older than me... Have you ever felt this way?"

The last topic between the two came to an abrupt end. Li Ke couldn't keep up with Hesta's train of thought for a while, so she frowned slightly, "What?"

"It just occurred to me," Hesta looked at Lico, "If there were no Su Lei on board, we wouldn't be so involved in this matter."

Li Ke laughed a few times, "You might as well look for reasons on yourself, if you hadn't suddenly joined the adjudicator election, I wouldn't—"

"Do you have to count further?" Hesta said softly, "Start counting when you board the ship."

"It's hard to say. At the beginning, I should still go to help. After all, this situation is also included in our rescue mission..." Li Ke held the back of his head in his hands, recalling all the things at that time, "But it is true, I will see Qian Qian later. Yeh’s reaction, if she doesn’t do anything, I’d be more inclined to pull away—these people on this boat are just too weird.”

"But because Su Lei was always on their side, we also joined." Hesta whispered, "Because for us at that time, joining would not necessarily be more dangerous, and quitting would not necessarily mean safety. ...Therefore, when Su Lei insisted on saving people, we compromised."

"That's right." Li Ke thought for a while, "I also thought at the time that following Si Lei's method, maybe the perpetrator could be caught, and then everything would be revealed—"

"So at the beginning of boarding the ship, Su Lei, as a minority who was not a mercury needle, occupied a dominant position among us—because she was the most stubborn and determined among us."

"...Ah?" Lico lost Hesta's train of thought again, she looked at Hesta's face, "What do you want to say?"

"This conclusion also exists in groups," Hesta said in a low voice, "'As long as there are 3%-4% uncompromising minorities in a group, they will devote themselves to fighting and defending their own interests. creed - defended even with life, with soul, until the whole group is subordinated to the preferences and choices of the minority'."

"……what?"

"A conclusion quoted in the book of Robeau Griller." Hesta looked around habitually, "Oh, the book is not with me now, so I can't show you the original text..."

Rico raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can you stop mentioning that broken book that Anna gave you—"

"I'm trying to explain why this game is important," Hesta raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I've been wondering why Rob Green's voyage has no experience at all. Lian passengers - such as Meyer, such as Tasia, now I want to understand, his 'Eden' is built like this.

"Unlike Robeau Grillet, he doesn't care that he has a group of shaky followers in his ranks—those who are mild-minded, weak-tempered, and don't even fully share his theories—it doesn't matter because they Being kind, they can act as the glue of the group, and when things come to a head, they will immediately give in to the bigots - so that the whole group is still a place dominated by the minority, the most intolerant people Get the last victory.

"If the Shengming arrives in District [-] safely and everything goes according to Rob Green's plan, then the second Eden in the world will be built soon—because what Rob Green will build will never It will be a male world like Robeau Grillet that completely excludes women, and in his plan, there are places for ordinary people everywhere."
