Why it never ends

Chapter 493 Matches
Early the next morning, before the nine o'clock assembly, the three of Hesta came to the fourth deck.

The moment the elevator opened, Su Lei hesitated a little, Li Ke and Hesta looked sideways at the same time, "What's wrong?"

"I just remembered the 'suggestions for daytime activities'." Su Lei took a deep breath, "Until you become a guardian, you cannot enter the deck—"

Li Ke laughed: "Don't be afraid at all, look."

She pushed Hesta's wheelchair out, and the two of them made a half-circle around the boundary of the fourth deck, looking back at Su Lei.

"I'm not afraid," Si Lei quickly explained, "I just feel a little different suddenly."

Before leaving the car, Su Lei pressed the number key on the first floor, and the elevator quickly began to run downwards.

Li Ke noticed this movement, "As expected of a police officer, he is careful."

Si Lei sighed, "Actually, it doesn't make any sense. Someone will notice sooner or later."

"Relax." Li Ke patted Si Lei on the shoulder, "In a few days, there will probably be many people looking for you to be your guardian—then you will have a headache."

Su Lei also laughed: "There are quite a lot of young people on our ship, so it stands to reason that there should already be quite a few guardians."

"Not necessarily." Hesta thought for a while, "It was mentioned in the 'Ship Card Usage Regulations' before that you need to go through the 'certification' procedures to become a guardian. This information has been included in the "Guide" so far and has not been published. Except for Gobelin and a few people around him, not many people should know about it."

"What if he secretly asked someone to go through the formalities?"

"It's also possible that Narene should have heard of it."

"He didn't get along with Gobelin, maybe Gobelin skipped him," Su Lei thought for a while, "That's not the way to guess. I'll go down and find someone to ask where I can find the list of guardians on the ship."

"That's better." Hesta took off the pen from his chest, "Take this for a try, and say that the 'Judger' needs a 'List of Existing Guardians'?"

Su Lei took the pen and inserted it into the inside pocket of his coat.

A few people walked in slowly, the fourth deck was almost empty, and there were no crew members here, but the decorations in the public area were rarely dusty, and it seemed that someone had always taken care of them.

After circling this deck, the three of them came to the conclusion at the same time - this deck is really nothing special, maybe they can go to the captain's cabin to find out if there is a real floor plan, so that they can compare and check Is there a hidden space.

"There are quite a lot of rest areas." Li Ke looked around and sat down on a dark red leather sofa. She looked at the wine cabinet not far from here. A place to chat."

Not far away, Su Lei stopped in front of a large bookshelf. Judging from the spines, most of the books here were related to literature and philosophy. She tiptoed and took a large tome from a high place.

"what?"

"what happened?"

"It's so light..." When the book fell into Su Lei's hands, she almost immediately realized that it was a fake book, a beautiful empty shell.

Su Lei took down many books again to check, each of them was like this.

Hesta looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help saying: "There are quite a lot of these things in Tanglar's house, and these people who don't read—"

"There seems to be something." Su Lei suddenly turned his head, "Listen."

Su Lei shook the case of the book in his hand, and there was a faint shaking sound from inside.

Li Ke stood up, "Open it and take a look?"

Su Lei effortlessly tore open the plastic-sealed paper case, and a white envelope fell out with a lacquer seal on the inside.She tore open the letter and saw her name at first sight, and she glanced at Hesta and Rico.

"It's for me."

The expressions of Hesta and Lico became serious at the same time, and Su Lei came to Hesta with the letter.

Unfold the letter, the above is the familiar content.

"In what book was this found?" asked Hesta.

"It's not a book..." Si Lei replied, "There is no title on it."

Li Ke has already stepped forward to pick up the paper shell that Su Lei just tore off, it looks like a large matchbox, the original spine is printed with red sandpaper, and the book cover is a very common third district. match brand poster.

Hesta glanced at the bookshelf again, "There are so many bookcases on the shelf over there, why did you take this?"

Si Lei stared intently at the pattern on the paper shell, but did not answer.

"Officer Su Lei?"

Su Lei raised his head, "...I usually collect matchboxes."

Li Ke was amazed for a moment, "Cool!"

"...And in my luggage this time, the most things I brought were matchboxes, all kinds of matchboxes." Su Lei frowned, "Could it have anything to do with this?"

"Your suitcase was—"

"It was checked in. I didn't touch it after boarding the ship, and it was delivered directly to the room." Su Lei replied in a low voice, "I followed the first invitation letter very strictly."

The three were silent for a short while.

"In short, there is nothing to worry about," Li Ge said first, "You don't have to be afraid at all, we are here."

"...I'm just curious why this letter was sent to me."

Hesta, who had been reading the letter, suddenly said, "Actually, this letter is still different from Gustav's."

The other two came closer, and Hesta pointed to the "she" in the last paragraph of the article.

"The invitation to the banquet that Gustav received before, this is 'he', right?"

"It seems to be?" Li Ke said in an uncertain tone, she looked at Si Lei, "I can guarantee you, double guarantee."

Si Lei laughed, and pointed to the first half of the sentence again.

"'Please pick an elder before the banquet begins'—are you?"

"……I could be the one."

"There are not many people on this ship who can be my elders. If it is a woman, there is only one left."

Rico and Hesta looked at each other again.

"There is something we haven't told you clearly, but you guessed it..."
