Why it never ends

Chapter 421
Li Ke glanced at his watch, "Then we have to hurry... When do you want to leave?"

"Leaving?" Hesta didn't understand, "Where are you going?"

"Go save people." Looking at Hesta's somewhat surprised expression, Li Ke gradually frowned, "Or...the 'transfer position' you just mentioned is really 'transfer position'?"

"It's just a shift."

"Aren't you afraid that Bernhard will go directly to silence you?"

Hesta smiled, "As long as the Gobelins are still here, Agnes and the others are safe."

"So sure?"

"Look at Gobelin's surprised look just now...until he finds out what Agnes did with me in private, he won't do it lightly." Hesta whispered, "Next, just Need to keep an eye on Gobelin."

……

Four or ten minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the restaurant, and everyone looked at the door in unison—Bernhard appeared at the door, and then two of his attendants walked in, and the restaurant door closed.

People looked at this scene in amazement, and Gobelin seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. He stood up from his seat, "...where are the others?"

Bernhard didn't answer right away, but just returned the key cards he had borrowed from other passengers.

"It's gone, I can't find it." Bernhard said with a serious expression, "Slei, Bree, the two young men who took care of Bree, and the old woman who was at the theater that day—none of these people are in their room. , I asked my subordinates to look everywhere on the ship, but they couldn’t find it.”

Not far away, the expressions of Hesta and Lico changed at the same time.

——Si Lei is gone?

Gobelin murmured in a low voice, "Looks like one day... Today's killing has also begun."

"And Agnes and Meyer!" At another table, a young woman stood up with concern, "Where are their sisters? Agnes was shot yesterday—"

"Oh, they..." Bernhard looked at Goebbels and said meaningfully, "They're gone too."

Gobelin had a complicated expression, and he didn't even pay attention to the additional information Bernhard hinted to himself.

"Where is that lady named Qianye?" Someone in the crowd asked again, "Is she gone too?"

"I'm afraid she is not a passenger." Gobelin turned his head. "That Mercury Needle boarded the ship with a mission. Like General Bernhard, they are not under the threat this time."

The expressions of many people froze at the same time, and people never thought of this possibility.

A fact seems self-evident: no matter how indifferent that mighty Mercury Needle is, she is always on the same boat as everyone else. On this big boat floating in the depths of the ocean, no one can stay out of the way.

However...she actually...

Gobelin lowered his eyes, "If I remember correctly, Miss Li Ge should not have received any suspicious letters."

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Hesta and Rico.

Li Ke spread his hands, "I'm from the [-]th district, and I don't need a boat ticket... It seems that only the passengers who boarded the boat from the port of Havre received the letter."

Rene was startled, his face turned pale again, he mustered up the courage to look at Hesta, "...What about you? You won't also—"

"Don't worry, I have received it." Hesta replied in a low voice, "Both Su Lei and I have received it."

The death-like silence returned to all around, people's expressions were a little dull, and it was hard to tell whether they were more shocked or more comforted.

Bernhard looked around, and couldn't understand the lifeless look of everyone - even Goebbels looked preoccupied, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hey! Hey!" Bernhard slapped the table, "What are you doing in a daze? Do you remember what I said before? The more this happens, the more we have to—"

"Shut up, you," René snapped, gritted his teeth, and spit out a few words in a harsh tone, "What do you know? You're not even one of us—"

"Don't forget the Grace Theater the night before yesterday!" retorted Bernhard. "A few dozen of our soldiers—"

"That's you who are courting death! You deserve it! You provoked that chelate yourself," René just finished speaking, and immediately jumped behind Hesta, lying under her wheelchair with a trembling voice, "What about us... we're the ones who really have nowhere to go—"

The veins on Bernhard's forehead were bulging, and he wanted to catch René and beat him up, but Hesta stared at him coldly, as if saying, "You dare to take a step closer and try."

"Shut up." Hesta interrupted Rene's complaint in a low voice, and she looked at Goebbels, "It seems that we can't get all the staff here in a short time today."

"Then, pardon me for not handing over the Guide," Goebbels didn't dodge, "I must see all the members, or the bodies of the missing persons."

Hesta was thoughtful: "In other words, during the entire voyage, you may use this reason to refuse to disclose the contents of the "Guidebook."

"I'm not denying anything, I'm just executing."

"Then what should we do now..." Someone asked in panic.

"Go back to the room." Gobelin said calmly, "Everyone go back."

In the crowd, someone raised their hands again, "Can't we stay here?"

"No." Goebbels replied, "must go back."

"Is this also the content of the 'Guide'?"

"Yes." Gobelin propped himself on the table and stood up, "Remember your current room number, you can't go wrong."

"Don't go! Everyone don't go!" René cried again. "Let's not disperse any more. We should be with Ms. Rico... and Ms. Hestad, who are quicksilver needles, and they know how to deal with pincers." compound!"

The crowd hesitated for a moment, no one left, but no more expressed their intention to stay.

Goebbels looked at René, "Of course you can ignore my advice and stay here, hoping that someone will protect you in the event of an accident, but the consequences can only be borne by you...and so are others."

Someone in the crowd asked again: "Then we go back to the room now... can we guarantee our safety?"

"I'm not 100% sure either, but that's exactly what the Guide says."

René looked at Hesta, expecting her to promise more now, but Hesta said nothing, just sat there.

The people around Hesta spread out a little.

"Go back." Gobelin said again, "Do you still remember the five rules in the "Notes"? When the thorn monks entered here that night, almost all of them had their luggage. No one took the rules seriously. Now, they The price is coming... don't follow in their footsteps, go back."
