Why it never ends

Chapter 329 Information
Following the direction indicated by Hesta, Su Lei stepped forward to check.

For the image effect on the screen, the light in the auditorium was very dim. Su Lei tensed up and approached the display cabinet, but after examining it carefully, she turned around with some doubts, "...what are the eyes you saw just now?" place?"

"In the space between the ceiling and the display case, that person... should be hiding behind the display case—"

"But the showcase is mounted against the wall," Si Lei said, "Don't say it's for hiding someone, it's difficult for you to insert a piece of paper in."

Hesta frowned in disbelief.

Turan stepped forward and knocked on the wall in that area - and found nothing unusual.

"The distance between the ceiling and the display cabinet is less than [-] centimeters. People who are thinner can barely squeeze in...but then it is impossible to move quickly." Su Lei returned to Hess Next to the tower, "Are you sure you did see a pair of eyes just now? Could it be that the light projected here affected your sight?"

Hesta didn't answer, and she also had some self-doubt, after all, it was an extremely quick glance, so fast that she only captured some afterimages.

But she clearly felt that those were still a pair of gray-blue eyes—exactly the same as the ones she saw in the hall earlier.This time, she even felt the other's inhuman pale complexion, but she wasn't sure if it was a mask or something else.

At this moment, Hesta's and Turan's mobile phones vibrated at the same time.

The two opened the new message at the same time, and when they saw the sender, their expressions were a little surprised at the same time.

This message is from Lico and is very brief:
Are you here yet?Don't stay outside, board the ship immediately when you come.

Turan immediately called Lico's phone back, but there was still no answer on the other side.

Hesta glanced at her watch—at 2:52, she turned off the screen: "Go back to the ground first."

The next moment, with the sound of tripping, all the lights and screens were turned off at the same time, the sound of wind and insects echoing in the corridor was instantly silenced, and the entire East Alpha area was dimmed.This sudden change stopped all conversations in the underground world, and everyone looked up, trying to understand what was happening in front of them.

Compared with the darkness, this moment of silence seemed more frightening.

Su Lei handed Hesta to Turan, then walked quickly to the middle-aged man not far away, she bent down, "Ma'am, do you need help? I see that your companion is not by your side now, Do you want to go with us?"

In the darkness, the middle-aged man laughed, "If it's convenient for you."

"Of course it's convenient."

After a while, the spare lights in the venue came on. Although the lights were much dimmer than the previous lights, they were enough for people to see the road under their feet.The radio began to play soothing music, and at the same time, a female voice continued to send out warm reminders: the port circuit is temporarily faulty and is under maintenance. The backup power is sufficient at the moment. Passengers are asked to stay calm and wait on the spot or evacuate to an open area in an orderly manner according to the signs.

Everyone took out their mobile phone lights one after another, and began to move slowly towards the nearby escape route.

Turan heard a few unanimous sighs from around him, which sounded a bit relieved. The crowd in the distance sounded cheers and whistles with unknown meanings from time to time, and some people even imitated ghost screams in the team.Compared with the previous moment of silence, the current atmosphere has become much more lively.

"...Why are they so happy?" Turan was puzzled, "Those who didn't know thought we were having a holiday at the bottom of the sea."

"It's indeed a celebration." The middle-aged man said softly.

"Celebrate what... blackout?"

"Yes, celebrate the power outage." The middle-aged man nodded happily, "The power outage is unknown at the moment of the power outage. Everyone loses light and sound at the same time. The combination of darkness and silence can represent any unknown threat. Wait until everyone realizes The 'blackout' happens, the unknown becomes the known, the fear disappears - isn't that something to celebrate?"

"Ha...that makes sense." Turan smiled, "By the way, the kid who was traveling with you...is it alright to leave it alone?"

"Don't worry, she should be handling our luggage in the port hall now." The middle-aged man also replied with a smile, "She is very smart... she knows that she should wait for me in a safe place at this time."

"Yeah, that's really nice."

There are four emergency passages leading to the ground in the East Alpha area. Turan and Sulei walked like flying, and soon pushed Hesta and the middle-aged man's chair to the nearest stairway - there are almost no people here, only a few wandering Tired passengers lugged their luggage and sat on the steps in front of the escape routes.

Along the way, Su Lei wore earphones and dialed three exclusive alarm numbers of the Havre port in succession.On the phone, she strongly urged the port to immediately evacuate all passengers who have not boarded the ship through broadcasts, rather than letting them stay where they are.

She spoke quickly and synchronized the boarding instructions of the Shengming to the police here. The current power outage is obviously a signal to be vigilant—this may not be a simple accident, but a prelude to a vicious incident .

After hanging up the phone, Si Lei looked at Turan: "What time is it?"

"2:57."

"Okay... Let's fold up the wheelchair and put it in the corner here. Put the person on the back first. Come down to get the wheelchair when you are free later."

"There's no need for you to say that."

Turan picked up the middle-aged man in the wheelchair, and Su Lei skillfully put away the two wheelchairs.Hesta stood aside by herself with a cane. She looked back at the crowd behind her, still remembering those elusive eyes in her heart.

"Jane, come here, we're going up!"

Hesta turned her head in response, and Turan had already carried the middle-aged man up several flights of steps—just at the corner, she noticed that the middle-aged man was wearing an anklet on his right ankle.

"Jane?" Si Lei quickly walked up to Hesta and squatted down, "Come up quickly, there is no time to lose."

Hesta held the cane and the suitcase in his left hand, and hugged Su Lei's neck tightly with both arms. In just a short while, Turan had already climbed more than 20 levels. Su Lei chased after him all the way, but he didn't chase superior.

Hesta looked up without saying a word, and along the gap between the steps, she reconfirmed what she had seen before—it was an electronic shackle, which had just entered the basement of Ava's house and was independent. When she was in prison, she wore this thing every day.

"Have you asked her name, Officer Su Lei?"

"Not yet." Su Lei replied out of breath, "But I recognize who she is...Although, she doesn't seem to recognize me!"

"who is she?"

"You don't even know each other," Su Lei said with a little joy in his tone, "We'll be in a safe place later—let's talk again."
