Why it never ends

Chapter 982

Hesta looked at an unknown monument alone in silence for a long time.

She had never thought about it in this direction before, but when Victoria said that, she thought of other things instead - for example, why the United Government of District 12 could tolerate the frequent intervention of the armed forces of District 3, and why a governor appointed by District 3 could call the shots here.

"Let's go, let's keep walking forward." Victoria put her hands in her pockets and looked at the tombstone beside her, "Let's see if we can run into other old acquaintances."

Hesta followed her, "Why did you bring me to this place?"

"There aren't many people in the cemetery, so it's convenient for us to talk."

"Is it just because of this?"

"... And Stella brought me here yesterday," Victoria said, "This place is really beautiful, right?"

The two walked forward another ten steps, and Hesta saw that a sprig of holly was placed on the coffin lids of many people, and they were weighed down with stones to prevent wind. It was obvious that someone had come here to pay tribute to all the mercury needles who died in the accident in the Fayaral Desert.

"Who put all these things here?"

"I don't know," Victoria said, "but they were like this when we came here yesterday."

Suddenly, Hesta saw two familiar names on the tombstones. They were "Sahame R" and "Anlia Mara" displayed side by side beside the road. Not only did they have holly branches on their coffin lids, but there were also two pots of unknown plants placed in front of their tombstones more than others.

Hesta took a detour to the monument and saw some neatly stacked memorial slabs with the words "I will always miss you, my dear friend" written on them.

"Are their remains really all here?"

"I don't know." Victoria said, "Some should have been taken away with the base, but I looked and found that almost all the victims have a monument in this place."

Hesta squatted down and wiped the rain stains on the memorial stone slab with his fingertips. There were probably some mud spots splashed by the heavy rain some time ago.

"Let's get back to the previous topic," Victoria looked into the distance, "Although I'm still trying to figure out how to get the file I promised to give you, I just learned another piece of news yesterday that you might be interested in hearing."

Hesta raised his head: "Is it related to the Fayalar Wasteland?"

"There is a person responsible for the accident who is currently being held in Awad Prison in District 12. I heard that the investigation team interrogated her immediately upon arrival, but she confessed to everything they asked her, trying to take all the blame on herself and only asking for a quick death." Victoria said, "In the end, the investigation team had no choice but to give up the questioning and let her receive psychiatric treatment in prison."

"Awad Prison..."

"You know this place?"

"I've heard of it," Hesta whispered, "a prison used to hold criminal mercury needles, and part of the building is also used for chelate research."

"Yes, that's it," Victoria said. At this point, she suddenly frowned and said, "What was the name of the survivor...ah, name, name."

Victoria knocked her head for a long time but couldn't remember the name.

"It's okay. You can check it yourself. It's easy to check." She looked at Hesta. "Do you know what she did before?"

"do not know."

"Guess."

"Battle order?"

"No."

"Base administration?" "Not really," Victoria smiled slightly, "She was the previous supervisor of District 12, your predecessor."

Hesta's mouth sank slightly.

"Haha, I know you're interested," Victoria said, "but it's hard to get a letter of introduction to visit Awad Prison. I've tried many ways but haven't found any opportunities. Please wait for me for a while..."

"No need," Hesta raised his head, "I can do it myself."

"Ah? Do you have a solution?"

Hesta clenched her hands into fists in her pockets - she already had a letter of introduction to Awad Prison, but she didn't know who she was going to visit.

……

On Saturday afternoon, Li Ke was dragged by Eleven and Qiqi to go out to eat ice cream. She wanted to rest at home, but Hesta was not there and Eucalyptus was studying. The two children came over together, one hugged her shoulders and the other hugged her legs, like two trick toys stuck to her body, screaming continuously and excitedly.

Rico looked at the time and thought that a short pain is worse than a long one, so he let them make their own plans to go out. There was only one hour, and they had to think about what they wanted to do first.

The children discussed with each other and found that there was not much they could do considering the one-hour round trip, so they decided to go to the mall to eat.

The ice cream shop was their last stop. Rico grabbed two fresh cream rolls and sat with the children, eating happily. She looked at the time and tapped the table with both hands: "Okay, it's time, we have to - don't cry! If you make trouble with me now, don't expect me to take you out next time."

Eleven looked at Li Ge with twisted features, forcing her cry to stop. Although she didn't understand what Li Ge was talking about, it didn't affect her guessing what Li Ge meant.

Eleven was still a little unsure about this sister with tattoos all over her body. Although Rico seemed friendly most of the time, there were still some subtle differences between her and Jane.

"Can I buy some to take back?" Qiqi asked, "For Sister Eucalyptus and Sister Xiaohe."

"Oh, you're right." Rico stood up, "I think I saw there's a delivery service over there..."

The two kids also jumped off their chairs. Qiqi pinched Eleven's hand and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to try the pomegranate flavor?"

Eleven pouted, "But she said we have to go back!"

"Just say you bought it for Sister Xiaohe and the others."

Eleven's eyes lit up, and he shouted "Oh oh oh!" and ran after Rico.

Rico ordered his food and watched the clerk at the counter put the ice packs and food into the thermos bag. Suddenly, he caught a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Ximoya!" She waved towards a place not far away. "What a coincidence! You are here too!"

Ximoya turned around and saw that it was Rico, so she came over to say hello.

Eleven was spinning around Rico like a leg pendant. After more than a month in District 12, she could now understand some simple instructions, but the fast-talking adults were still like incomprehensible to her.

"Do you often take the children out like this?" Ximoya glanced at Eleven and Qiqi.

"Not often. It's the weekend today."

"It's better to stay out of the house recently," Ximoya said, "If you really want to go out, you shouldn't leave the AHgAs safe zone."

Li Ge frowned: "What is the AHgAs safe zone?"
