"Thank you...have you been in District 3 all these years?"
"Yes," Anna paused, "but this topic is a bit complicated..."
"She worked as a teacher at the reserve base for half a year," Hestad interjected at the right time. "She taught Miss Chiba."
The air suddenly froze for a brief moment.
The same surprise appeared on the faces of Si Lei and Turan at the same time. Their eyes switched repeatedly between Hesta and Anna until Hesta spoke again, "It's true, we just met Avinash... …”
She repeated everything that had just happened, and Turan suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?"
Turan shook his head and laughed softly, "...I always find it hard to believe that Qianye came out of the same reserve base as us."
"The world is too small." Si Lei's eyes also expressed emotion, "Qianye is so lucky to meet a teacher like you——"
Anna laughed and looked towards the east side of the port, "I'm not a good teacher..."
"why would you say so?"
"Really good teachers are always good at finding the strengths in each student," Anna snuffed out the cigarette butt in her hand and lit a new one, "and I am only interested in smart students..."
Hesta stared at her finger: "Wait a minute, this is the first one today——"
As soon as she finished speaking, a continuous crackling sound came from the east. Everyone turned around at the same time and saw hundreds of "broken clouds" hovering in the distant sky, accompanied by the rising light green clouds on the ground. Smoke, their numbers are still increasing. These broken clouds were dyed brilliantly by the golden sun. Although this scene was very beautiful, it was extremely abnormal.
A sharp whistle came from the direction close to the land, and many people, fully armed, began to quickly approach the source of the sound from different places.
Si Lei narrowed his eyes: "Are those the police..."
"It's the special police from the Special Operations Agency." Hesta whispered, "We just listened to their combat deployment here for more than ten minutes..."
"More than ten minutes? Then they came too fast?"
"They have been nearby for a long time." Hesta glanced at Rand, who was still standing not far away. "And a considerable number of them have already boarded the ship, and will be active as crew members next -"
The broken clouds in the distant sky suddenly shone at this moment. They were like islands of thunder and lightning suspended in the sky. With a sizzling sound similar to that of electric current, a series of pink electric lights quickly flashed through the gaps between them.
"That is……?"
Before Turan finished asking his question, a small piece of "broken cloud" in the distant sky had exploded in the sky. Light blue and dark green dust spread around with the previous broken cloud as the core, leaving a patch of dust in the sky. The slowly sinking colored smoke, followed by the remaining broken clouds exploded one after another, like a sea of ignited catkins, which "burned" much faster than before——
Turan's nerves immediately became tense. She looked at the nearby scene uneasily and entered bullet time again.
"Don't be nervous," Anna stared at the sky intently, "those are fireworks."
"……fireworks?"
“Fireworks perfect for daytime viewing.”
Hesta glanced at Anna in the wheelchair - Anna's expression gave Hesta an intuition, as if she had been prepared for all this and was just waiting for it to happen.
"Look at what I do, look at the sky."
Hesta retracted her gaze and looked east again. The mixed colored dust happened to form the most recognizable picture at this moment - it was two women sitting together, wearing long white and green dresses, with their hearts on their faces. Each has a bright red color, like two huge blood stains.
This giant painting displayed in the sky only lasted for a few seconds, and was soon blown by the high-altitude wind into blocks of color with unknown meaning, like some graffiti that would only appear in a modern art museum.
Hesta frowned, and her heart seemed to be struck by lightning - she must have seen this painting somewhere.
A burst of scattered applause sounded, and everyone turned around to see Anna applauding gently. Compared to other people who were aroused by this sudden change, Anna was perhaps the only person in Havre Port who was really in the mood to enjoy the fireworks at this moment.
If someone were to overlook the entire Port of Havre from a high altitude at this moment, she would see a slightly absurd scene of disaster: several empty docks with giant ships parked, and everyone gathered on the road closest to the port. At the same time, a large number of special police armed with weapons ran towards the freight port to the east like a black ant colony. At the same time, the ruins of the Havre Hall that had just collapsed were still slowly emitting gray smoke, and they were gradually visible not far away. The colorless fireworks remnants complement each other...
Another burst of strange noise interrupted Hesta's thoughts again. It was some kind of rumble from a machine. She turned around and looked at the "barrier-free boarding gate" that the crew just called - there was a group of policemen with guns. Appearing over there, they looked around vigilantly and worked together to isolate the area behind them into a safe zone.
"Someone has boarded the ship." Si Lei also noticed the movement behind him, "Is it almost our turn?"
Anna said softly: "We still have to wait, I guess."
After a while, the embarrassed "Thorn Monks" appeared in Hesta's field of vision. Some of them were injured, some had fearful expressions, many had dust on their faces, and their clothes were somewhat torn.
The leader, Bree, soon saw Si Lei and Turan. He looked away with a complicated expression and looked away.
"What happened to them..." Hesta asked.
"Some people just quit, saying they won't participate in this voyage." Si Lei replied.
"Why?"
"When we were evacuating the underground crowd, a few 'monks' recognized us. They sent a message to other companions, saying that the waiting room No. 12 should be on the negative floor and asking them to come down quickly," Si Lei said with a slight smile. Shen, "Who knows what these people are thinking, they probably regard us as competitors who want to be the first to rush into the waiting room..."
"Are there any casualties?" Hesta looked at Si Lei, "I think there are fewer of them."
"Two people who were slightly injured in the stampede have been sent to the hospital. The others should have quit voluntarily."
"Tragic." Turan concluded.
Soon, behind the Thorn Monk, Hesta saw a familiar face again - it was the little old man who had appeared in the underground exhibition hall not long ago. His face was also very ugly, and two young men Following him, one was holding a parasol for him, and the other was holding a small travel bag, probably his bodyguard.
It's exciting now... Hesta thought.
"Why are you all standing here?" A familiar voice came from behind, "I thought you had boarded the ship long ago?"
Hesta turned around.
"Miss Chiba!"
