Why it never ends

"Who else?"

"..." Helen lowered her head, "I don't know what they do specifically, and I haven't seen these people, but I know they are on the boat...Rob respects them very much. When he was in the third district, he specially reserved I have a large manor for them to live in, and I will ask for advice if I encounter any problems."

"His brains?"

"Guests." Helen said softly, "The brain trusters are people like Goebbels, who belong to us. Those people are not...Rob is always very polite in front of them, very polite, and you can even say...humble."

"Where are these people?"

"I don't know." Helen whispered, "It was all arranged by Gobelin. I just overheard them talking."

Helen looked at Hesta, "...I really don't know much, you should ask Gobelin and Bernhard."

Hesta was silent.

Bernhard is no longer worth asking.He was on board as a tool man. On the one hand, he participated in the Anna assassination plan led by Gobelin, and on the other hand, he helped Gobelin to end himself under certain special circumstances.

As for Gobelin himself...

"That's all for today," Hesta whispered, "Go and rest."

Helen stood up with difficulty, and limped towards the exit.

"...I will come to you again when I need it." Hesta continued.

Helen stopped in her tracks and looked back complicatedly. Li Ke noticed this gaze and gave Helen a warning look.

Helen looked away, "Anytime...waiting."

The crew also bid farewell to Hesta. At this moment, a new round of security checks is going on outside, and she needs to guide Helen to prevent her from getting into unnecessary danger.

Only Hesta and Rico were left in the dim hall.

Hesta lay down on his back, looking at his toes dejectedly.

"Not happy yet?" Li Ke folded his arms and stood a few steps away from her, "Hasn't she already spoken?"

"...How do you know that she will be willing to talk after doing that?" Hesta asked in a low voice.

"I don't know," Li Ke looked at her, "I originally planned to kill her directly here."

"why……"

"Because this guy has a real threat," Rico replied, "Since they started doing suicide attacks, the nature of things has changed...I'm not kidding."

Hesta breathed out.

"You tortured her like that, isn't it the same as telling her that you can't kill the killer?" Li Ke walked to Hesta's side, "I told you to read less books of unknown origin—Roboglier's If that trick worked, Anna wouldn't be the one making a fuss on the boat right now."

Hesta frowned slightly.

Li Ke snorted and tapped Hesta's head lightly, "A real hunter doesn't pretend to be a hunter when he hunts. Those who play with their prey will eventually become the prey to be played with."

……

Tasia watched several crew members carry Fayence away, and they made an agreement with her that Fayence would be brought back safely when the banquet was over and she left the venue.

Tasia had many questions in her heart, but several crew members left quickly and could not answer her.She stood in the empty corridor and walked slowly towards the door of Bishop's restaurant. She expected that the restaurant should be empty at this moment—after all, the last security inspection notice had just been issued, and all the guests at the banquet seemed crazy Run out the same way.

The place is so quiet at the moment, presumably all the guests have already evacuated.

When she came to the door of the dining room, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and the two crew members smiled and invited her in.As the door opened, Tasia heard the melodious music, and she slowly opened her mouth—at this moment, the singing and dancing in Bishop's restaurant was peaceful, and the two women sitting at the bar chatting even recognized her and looked at her happily. She waved.

"Please come in quickly." The crew member said softly, "The banquet is about to begin."

Tasia entered the restaurant, and the door closed behind her. Although the sound of closing the door was slight, the moment it sounded still made her feel uneasy.

"...May I ask if you saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl coming over just now?" Tasia gestured at her chest, "So tall, with short hair—"

"Please go inside." The crew member said with a smile.

"Did she go in?" Tasia pointed to the direction on the left, "Do you remember which way she went, this side or that side?"

Before the crew could answer, Tasia suddenly caught a familiar shadow in her peripheral vision. That small figure flashed past behind an arch not far away, leaving behind a silhouette with flying hair.

"Meyer!"

Tasia exclaimed, and immediately rushed towards the direction she saw.

She moved awkwardly through the crowd standing and laughing at the banquet, attracting many people's sideways glances in surprise or annoyance, but when Tasia came behind the arch, she looked left and right, and there was no sign of Meyer in the aisles on both sides .

"Tasia?" A familiar voice came from behind her, and Tasia turned around and found that it was Gustav.

He was wearing a well-fitting suit, and the two sapphire earrings swayed gently as he walked.

"Gustav... why are you here?" Tasia's eyes widened, and she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Gustav's hands and shoulders, checking whether there were any wounds on his exposed skin, "I I heard that Fayence has taken you away and is going to interrogate you...how did you appear here? Did Agnes bring you here?"

Gustav smiled, "I'm fine."

After some inspection, Tasia confirmed that there were no bruises on Gustav's arms and cheeks, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm here to find Mayer. Agnes was supposed to be here for the banquet tonight, but Mayer also came with me," Tasia spoke quickly, "Did you see Mayer, or Agnes—— "

"You look so nervous," Gustav turned around and took two glasses of champagne from the passing bartender, "have something to calm down first."

Tasia took the glass, "I wasn't supposed to—"

"cheers."

Gustav clinked glasses with her, Tasia frowned and drank a small glass of wine.The cold nectar did quench some anxiety, she took a deep breath, "Listen, Gustav, you have to do me a favor, I have to find Meyer as soon as possible—"

"Tasia."

Another familiar voice came from not far away, this time, Tasia trembled all over.

She turned her head slowly - on the other side of the crowd, Philip pushed aside the couples who were blocking him and walked towards Tasia.

He was wearing the clothes he had attended the banquet with her that night, and the scepter brooch inlaid with a huge sapphire was still on his collar.
