Why it never ends

At midnight, the sky began to rain, and the calm sea, which had not been disturbed for a long time, began to surge.

During the half month of sailing, the sea was mostly calm, so that when passengers curled up in the cabin, they often forgot that they were on a passenger ship.Once again, the crew carefully checked every anchor point on the ship to ensure that nothing would be thrown out of place due to the rocking of the ship.

In her sleep, Su Lei heard a noise. She opened her eyes and saw two crew members.

"Ms. Su Lei, I'm sorry to bother you, the next voyage may have some bumps, we need to fix you on the bed to avoid—"

"what time is it?"

"Now?" The crew member glanced at the time, "Twelve past five."

"I want to go out for a walk..."

"Maybe I didn't make it clear, it's twelve past five in the evening."

"Can you go out for a walk with me?"

"Of course not." The crew frowned, "You should take a good rest now."

Su Lei smiled, "...you called me up at night, how can I have a good rest."

She moved her body carefully, trying to sit up halfway, but the expected pain did not appear, and she barely endured any pain, and straightened up.

"what……"

Su Lei tried to move his arm. Although there was still sharp pain in the joint, the two burns on the forearm and the upper arm seemed to have subsided. She tore off the bandage—as expected, the festering flesh inside had condensed into a pale scars.

After a moment of shock, Su Lei immediately looked at the crew, "You... how did you do it?"

"It's all because of your good rest that the wound can heal so quickly." The crew member replied with a smile, "So, go to sleep."

"……impossible."

Su Lei almost immediately recalled the wound on Hesta's right arm. As a mercury needle used in a mechanical prosthesis for many years, the skin near the nerve interface of her right arm would become inflamed and infected from time to time.The doctors at the base are good at extending life, but there is nothing they can do about this type of skin infection. They can only remove the prosthetic body, prescribe some anti-inflammatory and bactericidal drugs, and wait for the wound to heal.Fortunately, the recovery speed of the mercury needles is significantly higher than that of ordinary people, and the process will not be too torturous after all.

But Su Lei didn't explain in detail, she just looked at the crew, "Even the inside of the mercury needle can't do this level—"

"That also depends on which district the Mercury Needle is from." The crew replied, "It still has something to do with the development level of the local core city... You have been staying in the third district, right? Even if you go to the fourteenth district to see It won’t be such a fuss anymore.”

"Really?" Si Lei looked at her suspiciously.

The crew folded their hands helplessly: "Please, officer, it's really late now, let me get off work! You have been lying in bed all day, and I have been working hard all day...Let me help you quickly One fixed, so that the wind and waves will not hurt you in the middle of the night, okay?"

Su Lei repeatedly confirmed the fixing device used by the crew—it was indeed just an ordinary buckle, and she could open it at any time if she needed it.

"Thank you for your cooperation!" The crew member looked at the empty vase beside Su Lei's bed, "Oh, wait..."

She leaves the ward and returns quickly with a bouquet of white flowers in her hand.

Su Lei recognized the flower almost immediately, "Golden Gardenia?"

"You recognize it?"

"I know, I heard the history from my friends before." Si Lei said softly, "Didn't this flower bloom in winter?"

"Who cares about the season of flowers now? No matter what kind of flower you want, the flower house can grow it." The crew put the fresh-cut golden gardenia into the vase and gathered the flower branches again. "This is our nurse island tonight." The freshly changed flowers, no one will look at them outside anyway...I'll bring them in and let them accompany you!"

Si Lei frowned slightly, but said nothing.

She thanked the crew and lay down again, and did not open her eyes again until the lights in the room dimmed.

She slowly raised her injured arm, carefully feeling the changes in her body.

Is this amazing healing power really due to technical differences in different regions?

impossible.

Even though Hesta belongs to the branch of Mercury Needle in the third district, she has obviously been to many places to carry out missions, and the combat area is not limited to the third district.Moreover, based on Su Lei's understanding of AHgAs, their internal cross-regional cooperation is very close, and is hardly affected by regional divisions. If there is a new technology for rapid wound healing in any core city... Hesta cannot be ruled out outer.

The crew is lying.

Su Lei sat up again, she still remembered the story she heard from Stella in the car last winter.A woman who served in the Daihe Temple since she was a child resisted the fire from the sky three times, and finally lost to the God of West Wind, turned into a golden gardenia, and sprinkled it on the mountains.

Su Lei pulled a golden gardenia out of the vase and held it in his hand.

Even winter flowers, as long as someone wants them, they can be cultivated... In other words, on the Alecto, it is reasonable for someone to want the incarnation of the pious temple guardian Bar.

But the crew just now said that these are the flowers just changed on Nurses Island tonight, and no one will see them outside...

Is there really no one watching?

Or, there is no one outside tonight.

……

At two o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang.

Rico yawned and sat up, just as he was about to call Hesta, when he realized that she was not asleep at all.

"Hey." Lico snapped his fingers in front of Hesta, "What are you thinking about?"

"Do you remember a few years ago in a base in the fourth district, a training officer harassed the newly recruited mercury needles?"

Li Ke narrowed his eyes, "I have a little impression."

"I remember that during the trial, although the mercury needle kept pleading, saying that the two parties were consensual, the trainer was dealt with directly."

"That's right." Li Ke nodded, "How old was the trainer at that time, and how old was the newcomer, no matter what attitude the mercury needle had, the trainer must be fully responsible for this matter."

"Do you remember the exact ages of these two?"

"There are more than 40 trainers, and they seem to be called Dilik or Drucker... Mercury needle sixteen, the identity has not been announced."

"How was the trainer dealt with, was he fired?"

"More than that, at that time, he even took his military status. This person will not only receive the coalition government allowance, but even the pension can only be received according to the minimum income line."

"But he himself was not punished, was he?"

"No, except for the treatment just mentioned, he was only exposed at the time, and his subsequent employment was restricted... I guess it may be because 16 years old is not particularly young in the fourth district, so the punishment is relatively light."

"What if the person involved is younger?"

"How small?"

"12 years old? 13 years old?" Hesta said uncertainly, "It may be—"

"Then you have to be arrested and sentenced." Li Ke replied.
