"Let me ask you one last time," Rico slowed down his voice, "Are you sure you don't need help now—"
Agnes pulled the door hard, but the expected "bump" sound did not appear. The door's damper began to take effect. Although the veins on her forehead popped out, the door still closed at an extremely slow rhythm.
Hesta and Rico stood quietly outside looking at Agnes in the glass door until she ran back to her room without looking back.
"Why is this person so angry..." Rico muttered, turning back and pushing Hesta forward again. When their eyes met those of other onlookers, they all shrank back behind the door.
"Are you sure we really want to go back?" Rico lowered his voice, "She obviously looks like she's in trouble."
"I suspect she would have been in more trouble if we hadn't left."
"Do you recognize that voice?"
"It sounds familiar."
The two of them walked towards the stairwell on the fifth deck tacitly. They remembered that there was a landline fixed to the wall at the entrance and exit of each staircase. They can contact Bishop's directly by phone. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long on the other end of the phone - the crew member on duty at the service desk answered the call quickly.
"Hello, we are passengers on the fifth deck. We are in a hurry now. We want to find Officer Si Lei... um, okay." Rico turned to Hesta and whispered, "She went to find someone for us."
Hesta stared intently at the red lighted call button on the phone.
Half a minute later, a human voice came from the other end of the phone again. This time Rico frowned, "She's not in the restaurant? Then do you know where she is now? Okay, okay... Well, let's try to go to the captain's cabin. ...Well, thank you, bye-"
"Wait a minute!" Hesta suddenly thought of something and pulled the phone cord. "Meyer - ask her if Meyer is here?"
Rico once again described Meyer's appearance to the other end of the phone. After a while, a young female voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, I'm Meyer, who are you -"
This time, Hesta took the microphone: "Your sister is in danger, come back immediately."
After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.
"Do you have anything on you that can jam the door?" Hesta looked at Rico, "A business card box, a water glass, or -"
"The book in your arms?"
Hesta was startled. She looked down at the books she had just borrowed, and suddenly realized that Anna's practice of never borrowing documents and materials could be said to be quite correct.
She quickly apologized to Anna from the bottom of her heart and replied: "Okay, this thing is just right."
The two opened the door of the escape passage. They could not directly see the apartment where Agnes lived, but they could directly see the elevator entrance.
"Meyer will come over in a while. Just take advantage of her to run in and put this book against the crack of the door——"
"You still need to tell me?"
In silence, the two saw the glow light above the elevator door quickly drop from seven to six, then five. With a "ding" sound, Meyer rushed out of the car and ran to her room panting.
Rico followed her from a distance until he saw her taking out the key card and opening the door, then he started running faster.
Meyer didn't pay attention at all behind her. She called out Agnes's name anxiously, and didn't even notice Rico's movements. The three-centimeter-thick "Male Awakening" happened to lie between the lock tongue and the lock. Everyone leaned against the outer wall of the cabin, listening intently to what was going on inside.
Hesta wheeled her wheelchair to the elevator and pretended to wait for it.
There was silence in the corridor.
At first, Rico could still hear Meyer's emotional questioning, but as Agnes comforted him, Meyer quickly calmed down.
There was another sound of the door lock opening and closing in the suite, and then Li Guo heard the sound of a man spitting. When he was sure that the man was walking towards the corridor, Li Guo flexed his fingers and quietly finished his work. Fight preparation.
The man absentmindedly pressed the handle from the inside, only to realize that the door was actually open. The book that had been placed vertically fell down, and he picked it up out of curiosity.
""Male Awakening"?" the man muttered in a low voice. He dusted off the cover of the book with some surprise, and then flipped through a few pages of the book... It was indeed this book.
The man closed the door and looked around in the corridor - there was no one on the left, and on the right... red-haired Jane Hestad was sitting alone in front of the elevator.
The man suddenly laughed and shouted lazily into the distance: "Hey, isn't that who this is?"
Hestad didn't look back, but she already recognized the person: Will Bree.
"Good afternoon." Bree walked up behind Hesta, "What are you doing?"
"Wait for the elevator and go eat."
"Why are you alone? Where is Miss Li Ge? She always stays with you -"
"Mr. Bree," Hesta interrupted Bree, "why do you live in a suite with Sister Agnes?"
"Can't you?"
"I saw that when the crew divided the cabins, they intentionally reserved several suites for female passengers. In theory, you shouldn't come out from there."
"Ha, what do you mean? Do you think I forced my way in? We discussed this morning and rearranged the room - most people have adjusted, but I am not the only one." Bree smiled and said, "Of course, you If you're not here, Si Lei has made the decision for you, so you just stay as you are... Where's Rico?"
"...She went after a suspicious person." Hesta said calmly, "I'll wait for her here."
Bree suddenly grabbed the copy of "The Awakening of Males" in his hand, "Suspicious person?"
"Well, there was a person sneaking around in the corridor. When we came back, we heard something moving in your suite. Agnes said it was her showing a movie. Later, we heard footsteps outside again——"
"It should be Meyer." Bree interrupted.
"That's not necessarily the case," Hesta said casually, "Anyway, we were a little worried, so we went out to take a look, and we found a suspicious person squatting outside your apartment. We don't know what he was doing."
For a moment, Bree had some suspicions, and he subconsciously hid the "Male Awakening" behind his back to prevent Hesta from seeing it.
"Did you read that correctly?" Bree asked.
"We'll find out when Rico comes back." Hesta said softly, "Do you want to use the elevator?"
"I just took a nap," Bree said with a smile. "Although I'm a little tired now, I'm not worried that I won't have anything to eat if I go late..."
"Do you want to use the elevator?" Hesta asked again, "You can go first if necessary."
"What I mean is that I'm not in a hurry," Bree whispered. "Leaving you here alone...it's so dangerous. You need someone to protect you, right?"
Hesta laughed suddenly.
"Mr. Bree," she raised her head, "have you been causing trouble for anyone recently?"
