Why it never ends

When Hesta returned to the room, Tasia was already waiting there.

"I saw her number—" Tasia rushed to the door almost immediately.

"Hush." ​​Hesta made a hissing gesture, "What if someone else comes back with me?"

Tasia was startled, and then looked behind Hesta and Su Lei—there was no one behind.

"I'm just proposing a possibility," Hesta said with a smile. "Next time if there is a similar situation, you should at least pay attention to whether there are outsiders at the door."

"Okay," Tasia nodded, "I saw her ship card number—62!"

"Sure enough," Si Lei sighed softly, "...this is not her ship card number."

"No! That's what I saw with my own eyes!"

"This number belongs to Gustav," Si Lei said, "She should have dealt with you with Gustav's ship card."

Tasia fell into a daze again.

"Does she have this ship card with her?" Hesta asked.

"Yes," Tasia's expression quickly turned to disappointment, "... When I asked for the ship card, she pulled it out from behind, and asked me to wait for her at the door of the medical room at 02:30 in the afternoon. Take my risky passenger with me."

"Okay," Hesta said softly, "She won't go in with you when the time comes, so you can register with your own ship card."

Tasia looked at Hesta with some puzzlement, "...Did you already guess that she might lie to me with Gustav's ship card?"

"Helen has always been careful about this," Su Lei replied, "so..."

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance? If you told me in advance that No. 62 is Gustav's ship card number, I would have been able to see through it just now—"

"That may arouse her suspicion." Hesta raised his head, "Actually, you have heard of Gustav's ship card number."

"...I've heard it?" Tasia was puzzled, "How could I have heard it? Where have I heard it?"

"Because Su Lei once reported Gustav's number in public."

"...There is such a thing?" Tasia looked at Si Lei: "When?"

"It's all in the past, it doesn't matter," Si Lei said, "If you remembered it at the time, you would naturally find out when you confronted Helen just now; if you didn't remember it, it means that you are not the person who pays attention to these things It's suspicious if you remember it... Besides, Helen is unlikely to take out her own ship card, so there's no need to poke her."

"Except for this incident, did the whole conversation go well today?" Hesta asked.

"Very... well," Tasia frowned slightly, "She asked me all the questions you mentioned, including when I asked if I could go back and think about it, she really said that if I couldn't give it to you on the spot The answer, there is no need to talk about the whole thing... how do you know how she will answer?"

Hesta didn't answer, just looked at her without saying a word.

Tasia suddenly felt terrified at this sight, and she couldn't help but look away, "I'm sorry..."

"Huh?" Si Lei was pouring water for Tasia with a kettle, completely unaware of the sudden change of atmosphere here, and turned his head when he heard the apology, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Tasia hastily stepped forward to take the water glass in Si Lei's hand, "I don't know why I suddenly said sorry just now, haha..."

"You really like apologizing, there's no need for it," Si Lei smiled, "Is your risk passenger confirmed now?"

Tasia lowered her head to drink water: "...I want to ask Philip."

"Alright," Su Lei watched as Tasia drank the whole glass of water in one go, "...Are you thirsty?"

"Uh, no." Tasia put the cup on the table, not knowing how to explain her panic, she forced a smile, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay." Si Lei nodded, "I'll take you out."

It was only when she came to the corridor outside the room that Tasia felt her heartbeat slow down a little.

"There's no one outside right now," Su Lei glanced at the glass door, "Let's go."

"Officer Su Lei... Today, the ship card I gave Helen today..."

"I don't know who it is," replied Sly. "It's from Rene."

Tasia nodded: "Then... will Helen find out?"

"Sooner or later," Su Lei replied, "but there is no way to directly use the card number on the ship to find the corresponding passenger, so it should not be so fast."

"Okay, thank you..." Tasia leaned lightly on Su Lei's shoulder, "I'm leaving."

After leaving Hesta's suite, Tasia quickly ran back to her room.At this moment, most of the people were in their respective cabins, including Philip, but she was in no mood to talk to someone at all, and quickly hid in the bathroom of her bedroom.

Closing her eyes, Hesta's gaze from just now appeared in front of her eyes again. Tasia couldn't tell what was wrong—Hesta's expression was not serious, nor did she have any threatening or threatening meaning, but that moment In an instant, she clearly felt a certain kind of scrutiny and awareness, which reminded her of Helen suddenly.

Tasia rested her forehead with her hand. She still remembered that after the first adjudicator election, Hesta encouraged her to contact public speaking in the corridor... At that time, she clearly felt a great motivation.

But the more she gets along, the more confused she is about some questions: What kind of person is Hesta?Is she really trustworthy?Maybe the answer I already knew: how can a trustworthy person get close to someone like René...

For Hesta, she is probably also a chess piece that does not need to know too much. In this point, she and Helen may not be any different at all.

Tasia took a deep breath.

Perhaps, the only truly trustworthy person on the ship is Officer Su Lei.

……

"I felt that Tasia was a little weird just now." Su Lei returned to the room, "Jane, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening." Hesta replied, "I think it's a little strange too."

"Did we put too much pressure on her?" Su Lei looked at her, "You said at 02:30, should I 'just pass by' the medical room—"

"She doesn't use honorifics with me anymore."

"what?"

"When we were at Bishop's restaurant in the morning, we still used the honorific," Hesta said softly, "but since we came back, it's not the same."

"...Are you a little too sensitive? You two are about the same age. There is no need for her to use honorifics for you."

"But she has been using it like this before," Hesta tilted her head slightly, "what happened?"
