Why it never ends

Chapter 1132 Conversation

A dozen girls were running on the path not far away, and some of them looked over here curiously. Lu Qizhen and Jia Heduolei immediately squatted down and hid themselves behind a bush. Chloe didn't understand why they did this, but immediately looked at the running girls with a proud look.

"What are you looking at?" she said arrogantly. "A bunch of country bumpkins!"

Several girls spat at Chloe on the spot, and then quickened their pace. Chloe pretended to chase after them, but in the end she just stood on the stone platform surrounding the big tree and waved her hands to drive them away.

After the people left, Jia Heduolei stood up again: "...How can you curse at others?"

"Shouldn't that mean they should leave quickly?"

"We have to leave quickly," Lu Qizhen said quickly, "They are running around the entire building and will be back soon."

"Then where should we go..." Jiaduolei said, "My room is not available, you——"

"My room is not an option either. Turan lives in the same room with me," Lu Qizhen explained. "What if she comes back halfway and sees you——"

"Go to my room?" Chloe tilted her head. "There's no one in my room. Although my sister lives next door, she rarely goes back to her bedroom during the day."

Lu Qizhen and Jia Heduolei looked at each other and nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Although the mercury needles have turned a glass house in the east into a fitness room, few women on the farm actually like to go there. They are not used to sweating in a small room, and in contrast, they are happy to run, play football or lie quietly in the sun on the grass outside.

Everyone was happy, but after yesterday's game, about three or four people fell ill. They had fevers, but the temperature was not dangerous, so they were allowed to skip training today, but they could still walk around with the group.

Hesta got up late. She received a reply from Office 2 at around three o'clock in the morning last night. Their reply in the email was very brief: the request could not be fulfilled.

But Office 2 did not explain why she could not requisition the former reserve base at this moment. Was it because it had been taken over by the coalition government here, or was it because Office 2 did not want her to use it? If it was the former, then it would be easy to deal with, but if it was the latter, why?

Hesta finished breakfast alone, and then went to Arevalo's room to say hello to him. She had been doing this for the past few days. The fire on the farm seemed to have brought a lot of shock to the governor. Although he denied it verbally, deep down, Arevalo thought it was a kind of intimidation and torture to himself. He knew that in the Tan Yi case a few years ago, several victims had experienced unimaginable mental torture before their death.

However, even though he already knew the other party's purpose, Arevalo found it difficult to really get rid of it. He didn't want others to see him in this state, but he really needed some company, so he summoned Trion, the always somewhat rude fake noble, to talk to him.

Arevalo felt that he was too weak, because he found that when Trion really stood in front of him, the inferior temperament that he could not get rid of in Trion actually made him feel a little more alive.

When Hesta knocked on the door, Fatima just got up to get the kettle. She opened the door and saw a hint of surprise in Hesta's eyes.

"Jane," Fatima said gently, "It's been a long time."

"Hello." Hesta shook her hand. "How have you been recently?" "Everything—"

"Ah, Inspector!" Trion greeted Hesta in an exaggerated tone, "I wanted to say hello to you yesterday, but you were not there..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Baron?" Hesta walked into the house. "I was near the palace the whole day yesterday. You can easily find out where I am by asking."

"...Do you want to hear the truth?" Trion looked distressed. This exaggerated expression allowed him to say what he wanted to say without causing obvious offense to others. "If you have the stomach to hear the truth, I am willing to talk to you--"

"Watch your words, Baron." Hesta interrupted him directly. "Some of them are my guests. To neglect my guests is to neglect me."

Trion sighed deeply: "...I heard about it, but are you serious? It's just a dream, and you killed so many whales-"

"Trion." Arevalo spoke first, "Let's not talk about this. It's rare that you are all here..."

"Governor!" Trion smiled. He fully understood what role he should play at this moment, so he was more lively and noisy than ever before. "You know, if I were to ask you, you are just like the censor, frightened by something that does not exist at all."

Hesta glanced at Trion, "I didn't know that the Baron actually knew something about the assassin?"

"I re-studied Tan Yi's case when the news of the assassin first came out," Trion said complacently. "Governor, you may be standing in the middle of the incident, so you don't understand it - but in the eyes of an outsider like me, some things are obvious. The assassin back then was not like this. Once the death notice was issued, the photos were sent one after another and spread everywhere, but you see how many days have passed -"

"Stop talking." Arevalo said coldly, "The assassin this time may not be the same as the last time. It may be a copycat crime."

Arevalo's indifference finally made Trion calm down a little. He pursed his lips quietly and made an expression as if he was thinking about this possibility.

“That’s what it wanted me to think,” Arevalo said. “It just wanted to see me relax… It thought that would give it a chance.”

"What the Baron said makes sense," Hesta said suddenly, "If it really intends to delay this time, then it will take at most three months. Governor, you know that we, the Mercury Needles, are also very busy, and AHgAs will not agree to let so many people guard you all the time."

“…What?” Arevalo raised his head in alarm. “Three months?”

"It's not up to me to decide, but this is how the mission usually goes," Hesta said. "If the assassin never shows up, then our superiors will tend to think that this is a false alarm or even a prank—"

"No, that's not the case," Arevalo said firmly.

"Governor, please note that I am not discussing with you whether the assassin is real or not," Hesta tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "I am telling you that if this matter continues for three months without any follow-up, then the asylum you are currently receiving will still be taken away. If we do not want to be passive, we need to think of other ways."
