Why it never ends

Hesta took the blank list for inspection—it was a true copy of the list, and it was Goebbels' private collection when he handed over the adjudicator's documents.

Hesta's mood suddenly became a little complicated. Since she had long realized that this list, which can initiate security checks at will, is the core of the adjudicator's power, why didn't she immediately check whether the previous adjudicator still kept the text of the list...?
Hesta put away the list, "Gobelin should know why he was arrested...Did he say anything when you passed by?"

The crew shook their heads.

Hesta was a little surprised, "Didn't say anything?"

"He doesn't look energetic." The crew member replied, "He didn't struggle when he was caught. He just asked us not to cause damage to him, and to be more gentle when searching. By the way, Goebbels is still in the confinement room. You need to see him?"

"...No, close it first," Hesta whispered, "I'm going out now."

Several crew members looked at Hesta at the same time, and Li Ke keenly caught the abnormality in this sight: "What's wrong?"

The crew hesitated for a while, and then said, "Tonight... you'd better stay here and not move around."

"why?"

"We don't know the specific reason." A crew member replied, "But our night duty tonight will end early at three o'clock in the morning, which means that after three o'clock, if you encounter any accidents, it is difficult to contact us." Come on us."

Li Ke continued to ask a few more questions, and then quickly sent the crew members away. When only the two of them were left in the room again, Li Ke turned around and said, "Why don't you go and see Gobelin, why don't you ask?" Is there any use for him to keep this list private?"

"No need," Hesta said in a low voice, "Goebbels has been in this position, of course he knows that without the approval of the current adjudicator, it is impossible to pass any prohibited and restricted list... This thing is in his hands. It's just a scrap of paper."

"Then why is he hiding this?"

Hesta didn't answer.

"How do you say?" Lico stood in front of Hesta, "going out?"

"Let's go," Hesta looked at her, "Anyway, when we encountered an accident before, we didn't contact these crew members much."

"where to?"

Hesta thought for a while, "...the seven-story navigation museum."

……

In the corridor on the mezzanine, Tasia and Meyer were still wandering. The two wandered around for more than half an hour, and stopped to rest at a corner.

In the first few minutes, Tasia clearly felt that her consciousness was gradually becoming chaotic, but in the torrent of confusion, she quickly found a balance—as long as she kept saying in her heart that she wanted to be with May Ye left here together, and that ray of clear will always remained in my heart.

They met many acquaintances along the way, most of whom were missing or killed passengers, but with the lessons learned from Philip at the banquet, Tasia was already mentally prepared.

She demanded a boat card from every man who offered to take her and Meyer off this deck, no matter who they were: none of them, however.

So no one punctured anyone, and everyone politely parted and said goodbye, as if they were just ordinary friends simply meeting in the aisle.Until a middle-aged man with a beard walked in front of Tasia. Not long after the two looked at each other, Tasia began to cry, and then pulled Meyer forward without saying a word.

"Who was that person just now?" Meyer looked back curiously, "Who did you see?"

"...My father, it is impossible for him to appear here." Tasia's voice was a little crying, but there was strong anger in her panting, "This... teasing... is too much."

Meyer sighed.

"Meyer, if we meet your sister in a while, you must not go with her immediately." Tasia whispered, "We must first ask her for the ship card, and then make sure she is not wearing any brooches or Earrings...do you remember?"

Meyer nodded wordlessly.

"We are safe," Tasia grabbed Meyer's hand, her voice was almost resentful, "...we are indeed safe."

……

In the middle of the night, Rico pushed Hesta to the Navigation Museum.Although the door here was locked tightly, Li Ke pried the lock open with almost no effort.

The museum was quiet, with bullet holes and traces of battles everywhere, and a few burn marks on the carpet were left untreated, and the scorched black color just hung on the complicated patterns.

The two walked in, turning on the lights while walking, leaving a bright path where they passed.

"What are you doing here?" Li Ke paid attention to the movement around him, "It's about this time, there should be no one here."

"I just want to see that figurehead again."

"Ah?" Li Ge was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with the figurehead?"

Hesta looked down slightly, "...it's nothing, just take a look."

"No, did I miss something, you don't sleep at night, you just come here to see a figure of a ship that you split in half..."

"I haven't missed anything," Hesta whispered, "...I really just want to take a look."

"why?"

Although Hesta was unwilling to explain, he couldn't stand Rico's continuous questioning, so he had to shirk for a while.Lico ran fast, and quickly pushed Hesta back to the booth where the figurehead was placed before—the figurehead that had been cut to pieces was lying quietly on the ground at this moment.

The fragments of the broken statue were put together intentionally. Although the broken stones at the junction had been scattered all over the place, the outline of the whole statue could still be seen.

"Do you remember what Anna wrote on my invitation letter?" Hesta said softly.

"The metaphor that guides the journey?"

"Yeah." Hesta nodded, "During this time, I always had a feeling, as if I just realized something and learned something on my front foot, and then I realized that the situation was always different from what I thought. You said Those comprehensions don’t work, it can indeed explain some things...but it’s limited to that, as if those thoughts can only be used to explain, not to predict, let alone control.”

Li Ke frowned slightly, "For example?"

Hesta didn't answer right away.

Li Ke thought about it again, "For example, do you think that what you have learned from Robeau Griller's book is useless?"

"...Probably so."

"But his rhetoric was originally used to deceive people," Li Ge was puzzled, "it's this time, why are you still thinking about these..."

"I talked about metaphors with Anna once." Hesta looked at the broken figure of a ship not far away, "At that time, she mentioned the myth of Alecto, so you can call me naive... But I thought maybe I would go back to This place, going back to the exhibition related to Alecto, maybe I can get inspiration."
