Si Lei stared at the pair of scissors in Anna's hand and took it over by mistake.

Her expression is reminiscent of a flock of sheep suffering from snow syndrome in the snow, as if she is deep in thought and a little confused.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head, and her calm face suddenly became vivid. Si Lei stared at Anna, with a hint of anger in the strong shock - she finally fully understood what Anna just said, and completely found it. There is no excuse to excuse the other party.

"You are simply...unreasonable."

Si Lei walked to the side of the boat with the scissors. She avoided the crowd, and when she let go, the scissors fell straight into the sea without even causing any splash.

A louder sound than before came from the ground. Rico rescued the last young man hanging in the air. Everyone who witnessed this scene cheered and even shed tears in emotion. Even if they were just standing on the shore watching all this happen, this sudden miracle still made everyone's hearts tremble.

Si Lei glanced at the ground of the pier, and then left without looking back.

For a moment, there was only the sound of wind in the heights.

"she left."

Hesta watched Si Lei go away with a calm voice.

She turned back to look at Anna.

"But there are two wheelchairs here now... who's going to push me?"



At a quarter past six, the Shengming set sail.

The accidental crash of a minor only delayed the departure of this huge passenger ship for fifteen minutes. After various changes in the afternoon, the number of people who finally boarded the ship was less than 1/3 of the expected number. They were all crowded at the lobby front desk on the fifth floor with depressed expressions - this floor had the most double cabins and was where they were about to stay.

No one spoke, and silence hung like an invisible thick fog over everyone's heads. Most of the people were so tired that they leaned on each other in some kind of half-asleep state.

Suddenly, a slight "ding" came from the direction of the elevator.

Many people quickly opened their eyes and looked at the numbers that suddenly lit up above the elevator - above the wooden door, eight numbers made of Nixie tubes were arranged in a semicircle, and an ancient-looking yellow The copper pointer is slowly rotating as the elevator rises and falls. Whichever number it points to, the corresponding Nixie tube lights up, emitting a rusty red light.

——Someone came from the first floor.

People in the lobby stood up one after another, staring at the elevator door.

"...Long wait!" When the elevator door was about to open, an energetic voice came out first. Then, people saw the appearance of the person clearly. He was a young man wearing a gray crew uniform with a pin on his chest. Wearing a badge that says "Mantel".

"Excuse me, are all the Thorn Monks here now except Mr. Bree?" Mantel asked.

"Yes, everyone is here," a voice answered, "but we've been waiting long enough—"

"Please go to the elevator first. We must now go to the 'Bishop' restaurant upstairs, where a welcome reception has been specially prepared for you -"

After a moment of silence, the crowd suddenly burst into excitement.

"We don't need any cocktail party now... let's go back to our room and rest!!"

“Yes, give us the keycard—or the key!”

The elevator visitor always kept a smile. She looked at the arrogant guests in front of her and raised her voice: "I'm just here to help convey Mr. Bree's invitation, and——"

Mantel paused deliberately, and sure enough, after hearing the name "Bree", everyone temporarily restrained themselves.

"Also, those who don't want to go to the restaurant upstairs can rest here without forcing it - but I can't give you access cards. Don't arrange this process until after the reception. You can exchange your ship cards for the corresponding tickets. Room key card...did I make it clear?"

Mantel returned to the elevator, "Anyone who wants to go upstairs, hurry up."

When the first person entered the elevator, the followers followed sparsely. In the end, only two of the eleven people remained outside the elevator. They sat on the dark blue carpet with bored expressions. Weakly waved to my friend in the elevator.

The elevator doors gradually closed and everyone ascended slowly.

"Well, Miss Mantel, I want to ask..."

"I'm not responsible for answering questions." Mantel said with a smile, "I'm only responsible for bringing you to the sixth floor."

The elevator came to a slow stop, and with a ding, the door opened.

The carpet on this floor is red and very thick, and there is no sound when you step on it.

Directly in front of the elevator is a floor-to-ceiling window with a wide view. The light gray sky and waves in the distance are almost completely integrated. The sky outside has gradually dimmed and become no longer eye-catching. The bright lights in the cabin are clearly reflected on the glass. .

The floor height here is quite astonishing, almost twice as high as the rest area.

"On this floor, there is Grace Theater to the left and Bishop's Restaurant to the right. Don't go wrong!"

"...won't you come with us?"

"Goodbye, everyone, enjoy your meal!"

The elevator doors closed again. The men did not leave immediately. They stood at the elevator entrance and watched the numbers on the door continue to rise. Finally, the pointer stopped at "8" and the Nixie tube dimmed.

"...The eighth floor is the observation deck and the driver's cab." One of them said in a low voice while looking at the cabin structure diagram not far away.

"Ignore her... that's where the restaurant comes from, on the right."

"Let's go, let's go..."

Crowds of people filed in. The corridor here was wider than expected. Everyone admired the paintings hanging on one side of the corridor and their own shadows on the glass mirror on the other side, moving towards the restaurant.



In the Bishop's Restaurant, Hestad fell asleep with her head tilted back in her wheelchair, her head leaning crookedly on the back of the chair.

Zero sat next to her, followed closely by Anna.

Si Lei never approached the table where they were sitting. She was obviously still brooding over what happened in the afternoon. She held her cell phone tightly and stood in the deepest corner of the restaurant by the window - in this place, she could Effortlessly observe everything happening throughout the restaurant.

With a chaotic sound of footsteps, the last few guests arrived. Zero looked at the door. The old man who had been giving advice in the exhibition hall that afternoon walked in in a suit and leather shoes.

A burst of applause suddenly erupted from the seats of the Thorn Monks, and the old man nodded slightly towards them.

Zero heard a disturbance coming from beside her - this burst of applause woke Hesta from her dream. She clutched her chest and looked towards the source of the sound with lingering fear.

"...What are those people doing?" Hesta held her forehead, and her posture slowly changed from leaning back to lying on the table, "Who is here?"

"Roboglier." Zero replied in a low voice, "Theoretically, he is the new owner of this ship."

Hesta blinked expressionlessly. She glanced around again, and finally her eyes fell back on the Thorn Monk.

Hesta frowned with some concern: "...Why are they all carrying their luggage?"
