The next day, the sun rose as usual.
Because she had to submit job transfer materials in advance, Liz did not travel with the army for the first time and took personal leave to stay at the base.
During lunch, Turan asked Liz: "Have you ever felt that the security at the base seems to be looser than before?"
"A little bit, but the security on the ground is not the main force of the base in the first place," Liz replied while eating. "It probably doesn't matter whether it's loose or tight."
"It's quite annoying," Turan frowned, "Today, two people sneaked into the base from nowhere and used a loudspeaker in front of Miss Valenti's office building to demand our release. It was very noisy. .”
Liz suddenly remembered what Ms. Morley mentioned - the coalition government and AHgAs were fighting for the custody of Hesta. This was the reason why the base could not continue to investigate and deal with Sean openly.
However, after this period of time, the noise outside did not stop, but seemed to be even more noisy than before.
...I wonder what Ms. Morley and the others are doing during this time.
What about the “problem solving” you promised?
"Did you see Jane this morning?" Liz asked suddenly.
"No, she has classes, right?" Turan replied, "What's the matter, do you have something to do with her?"
Liz was silent for a moment. Jane's mood fluctuated violently in the middle of last night, but because it was judged as a nightmare by the system, it was not used as an emergency alert at the time. She saw it this morning when she checked the information as usual.
"Yeah...nothing, I was just thinking about lunch right now. Why didn't I see her-"
Before she finished speaking, Liz's phone suddenly emitted a harsh pulsing sound, and she quickly picked it up to check.
Turan also came over: "What happened?"
"It's Jane..."
Liz frowned, and she opened the newly received reminder text message. Just like the last time Hesta pressed the fire alarm, this text message was a reminder message that was automatically triggered in an emergency.
However, after reading the prompt content this time, Liz was shocked for a while.
She was fighting with someone...?
Liz didn't have time to explain, she dropped the tableware and quickly rushed to the scene of the incident.
…
In the corridor on the first floor of the student apartment, the entire corridor echoed with Mrs. Lavitt's scream.
"Hitting...beating - ah, my God... stop it, children - oooooo... someone is coming -"
She shouted until she was out of breath, watching from a distance, and kept looking towards the entrance of the apartment.
Mrs. Lavitt had already made all the calls that needed to be made, but in less than half a minute, the two people fighting over there had already made their way from the middle of the corridor to the end of the corridor.
The scarred Sean had no way to retreat. His left eye had turned purple and was slightly swollen. Unstoppable nosebleeds were flowing all the way down. The scene was bloody.
The warm blood was also stained on Hesta's fist, and her fist fell like rain on Sean's forehead, cheeks, jaw, chest and abdomen.
Sean raised his hand and wiped his face, and tried to stand up by supporting the wall. Five bright red bloody handprints were pressed on the wall. Before he could exert any force, Hesta kicked him over.
"Where's my key," Hesta growled, "give it back to me."
Hesta's face was reflected in Sean's eyes - her cheeks were covered with splashes of blood, anger surged from her blue eyes, and bloodshot eyes covered the whites of her eyes. Her face became ferocious because of anger and hatred, and she was completely different from the silent and cold girl in the past.
Sean looked at the crazy Hesta in front of him and laughed mockingly.
"Look at how you look now, Hesta...how are you? Do you still...really want to kill me?"
Sean didn't fight back at all. He spat the blood in his mouth to his side, then raised his head with a smile, exposing his neck, "Mrs. Lavitt is watching."
Hesta grabbed Sean's collar and pulled the boy up from the ground.
Her head was lowered slightly, and the bangs on her forehead blocked her eyes.
"Let me ask you one last time...where did you hide my key?"
Sean laughed weakly twice and murmured.
"Louder." Hesta said coldly.
Sean waved to Hesta gently, motioning for her to come closer to him. When Hesta came closer, he spoke with a trembling smile.
"Guess... will I tell you?"
Hesta's pupils suddenly shrank, she let go of her hand, straightened up, took half a step back, and her breathing became calm and steady again.
For a moment, Sean, who had been watching the show, actually felt a slight chill. His instinct against the enemy allowed him to keenly detect some unusual changes. He looked at the person in front of him with some suspicion.
"...Hesta?"
Hesta raised her head slightly. In the dim light of the corridor, half of her face was in shadow.
However, there was no anger on that face, and all expressions of confusion, humiliation, and hatred disappeared, replaced by... a smile.
Smile……
Sean thought he was wrong.
Her eyes still had that scorching intensity, but the lower half of her face was actually smiling.
Hesta's upper and lower lips touched lightly and uttered a few silent words. Sean no longer had the intention to think about what she said. He instantly entered bullet time and rushed towards the nearby window like an arrow. .
At the moment of taking off, Sean felt something firmly grasping his ankle. He intuitively felt that it was Hesta's hand.
But it's impossible, she can't catch herself in this state——
In the next moment, he lost his balance and was thrown heavily to the ground.
He suddenly realized what Hestad was saying just now.
"as you wish."
The whole world fell into silence. Before Sean could even think about how all this happened, the breath of death was already approaching. He felt that his mind went blank, and he didn't even have time to be afraid.
"simple!"
Liz's voice suddenly penetrated her ears.
Sean turned around, and Liz appeared behind Hesta at some point, hugging her body tightly from behind.
Everything seemed to be in slow motion, Hesta's forehead hair floating up and down, like a drowning man rising to the surface.
Mrs. Lavitt, who was in the distance, was crying with fear. She covered her mouth with her hands and looked at the reserve conflict that seemed to have finally come to an end with tears on her face.
Hesta fell into Liz's arms and remained motionless.
"...Jane?" Liz let go of her hand, her voice trembling a little, "Jane?"
Hesta had a painful expression. She closed her eyes and did not answer. Soon, her body suddenly twitched and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Outside the apartment, the security personnel who received the alarm in the base finally arrived. They rushed into the corridor, "What happened here-"
Liz turned around, her arms were covered with the blood Hesta had just vomited.
"Hurry...hurry to save people."
