Why it never ends

"Tasia?" Helen called out again.

Tasia came back to her senses, she withdrew her gaze, "... yes."

"Then I can tell you one more rule."

"Hey?"

The elevator returned to the fifth deck, and the two went out one after another.

Helen took a step towards Tasia, bent slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Even if some people haven't read the "Detailed Rules", or even got that new 'ship card', But as long as three people share the content of the "Detailed Rules" with him, he will still be forced to enter the framework of the "Detailed Rules" - "accept the protection of the rules and bear the consequences of the rules."

"……why?"

"Hmm, that's it."

"Where did you hear that—" Tasia paused, "Why did you tell me?"

Helen shrugged her shoulders, "Seeing that you actually ran to watch it when you were so timid, let me remind you - don't be afraid, I won't do you any harm, and there's no need for it."

"...What does this sentence mean?"

"You will know sooner or later," Helen said softly, "Is there a message behind your invitation letter?"

"...Yes." Tasia murmured, "So?"

"Can you tell me what you wrote on your paper?"

Tasia said nothing.

"It's okay if you don't say anything, you just need to remember that we should help each other." Helen straightened up, "You are safe, I am safe, and we are all safe."

Helen showed her a wanton smile, then swiped her card and walked into her suite.

Tasia stood where she was,
We are all safe...

What do you mean?
For a moment, Tasia grabbed the mobile phone in her pocket tightly. She still had a few pages of detailed rules on the whiteboard that she hadn't read. Perhaps, the rest of the content could give her an answer.

……

At night, the three of Su Lei returned to the room. Hesta was lying on the bed and was reading the "Detailed Rules" that had just been posted today. diary, only Li Ke was playing games on the small screen with earphones on.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of pages being turned.

"How many days has it been since we boarded the ship?" Su Lei asked suddenly.

Li Ke didn't raise his head, "Fifth day?"

"Not only?"

"Dietrich, Grüning, Ashley, Bree, René..." Rico snapped his fingers, "That's five, right? One dies a day, so today is exactly the fifth day—oh no, It should be the sixth day, I didn't count the day we boarded the ship."

"The seventh day," Hesta corrected, "one more safety day."

Li Ke suddenly realized, and quickly looked back at the small screen, "Yes, I forgot about the safety day."

"Bree can't be considered dead, after all, he's still—" Si Lei was stunned in the middle of speaking, "Is Rene dead?"

"Uh," Li Ke's expression froze for a moment, she put down the handle, "...Did I just say Rene?"

"You said it." Si Lei frowned, "What's going on? Hesta said this morning that Rene had received an invitation to die. I thought you had already found a place to hide him? How could he die? When did he die?" about?"

"There is no death invitation, I did it last night—no, this morning." Hesta on the bed glanced at Rico, "You actually remember the names of each of them."

"I didn't specifically remember... Are you still studying that set of "Guidebooks?"

"I'm checking my adaptation," Hesta said softly, "After all, it was edited in such a short period of time, and some things were deleted if they didn't fit well. I'll take a look again, in case there are any mistakes ..."

"Isn't it normal that there are mistakes and omissions in this description? Identifying which rule is abnormal is also part of the task."

"Deliberately confusing clauses and errors and omissions are two different things." Hesta lowered his head, "And I don't understand some of the rules here—for example, the fourth deck, I have to think about it..."

Rico pulled out his right hand in his busy schedule, and gave Hesta a thumbs up.

"intimate."

"Come down with me before tomorrow's rally?" Hesta raised his head and said, "I don't feel relieved if I don't go and take a look with my own eyes."

"Row."

Not far away, Su Lei still hadn't recovered from Hesta's answer, "...you killed René?"

"This man's hands and feet are not clean." Hesta said softly, "You heard it too, Helen said yesterday that he took someone else's ship card."

"Then you can't just—"

"This is an extraordinary time, police officer. He told Tasia yesterday about exchanging food for women in the wasteland. If the situation worsens in a few days, can you guarantee that he will not attack Tasia?" Hesta will Putting the "Rules" in front of me aside, I reached for the teacup on the bedside table, "You have already read the diary of Robeau Griller, so I don't need to say more about it."

Su Lei had a complicated expression.

"What's written in the diary?" Li Ke asked, "I haven't read that one yet, do I need to take a look?"

"No need." Hesta replied.

After a moment of silence, Si Lei spoke again, "...What about the corpse, what did you do with it?"

Hesta: "Thrown into the sea."

"Has anyone seen it?"

"Um……"

"Definitely not," Lico replied instead of Hesta, "I've checked everything."

Su Lei looked at her, "So you're also there?"

"Yes." Rico nodded.

Su Lei sat back on his chair without saying a word.She suddenly recalled the conversation that had taken place in this room this morning—no wonder Hesta wanted to tell Tasia that the crisis was over and that she should not waste any more time.

Everyone is dead, isn't the crisis resolved?

In a quiet room, a deep voice suddenly came from Li Ge's earphone: New record!She breathed a sigh of relief, took off her earphones, and looked at Si Lei, "Who are we to keep watch tonight?"

"From now on, no one needs to guard," Hesta replied suddenly, "Let's all sleep well."

Both Si Lei and Li Ge were taken aback, "Then about safety—"

"Let's leave the issue of safety to the 'Albodonica' behind the scenes." Hesta kicked her feet and lay down flat. "She will ensure that each of us goes ashore safely."

……

On the other side, Anna took off her glasses, and put the version of the rules posted in the afternoon on the table.

"What do you think?"

"Very clever." Anna replied softly.

"But there is no iron law at all," Zero said softly, "Why did she—"

"In order to prevent others from going downstairs," Anna leaned back in her chair, "you know, once someone enters the second floor and chats with the bartender at the Hard Rock Bar, her lies will be self-defeating."

Zero analyzed for a moment.

"Which lie are you referring to?"

"Everything is upside down," Anna closed her eyes and said with a smile, "she is making new rules."
