Rico subconsciously grabbed Hesta's shoulders.
"Calm down! Jane!"
"That's Liz's piano—"
"I know! But calm down first!"
During the fight, the two fell to the ground at the same time, and Rico kept tightly clamping Hesta's arms, especially her left wrist.
Hesta was pressed to the ground unable to move, but despite this, she still tried her best to look up at Anna, her eyes filled with anger.
"Don't be too excited, girls," Anna sat in her wheelchair. She didn't even lower her head, but lowered her eyes slightly. "Look, isn't your accordion in good condition?"
"put it back!"
"...Ms. Anna," Rico raised his head with difficulty, "I don't know what you are here to do today...please stop adding fuel to the fire, okay?"
"You said that, but I dare not let go. If we bump into each other later, wouldn't I become a huge sinner-"
"Ah... shut up," Rico hugged Hesta and took a few steps back. "Listen to me first, listen to me! Jane! Don't go crazy again!"
Hesta's body suddenly trembled, she gritted her teeth and became quiet.
Rico tentatively let go of his hand. Seeing that Hesta did not continue to be restless, he walked up to her and whispered, "Just stand here, okay? You stand here and look at me."
Rico turned around and walked towards Anna, "Okay, Ms. Anna... give me the piano."
Anna did so.
Next, although Rico's movements were a bit unfamiliar, the accordion was smoothly put into the piano case. After buttoning the box, Li Ge breathed a sigh of relief. When he stood up, his eyes happened to glance at the tattered "Male Awakening" on the table beside him.
Rico's breathing slowed down for a second, then he picked up a magazine and covered it as if nothing had happened.
"...Want some water, you guys?"
No one answered.
Anna looked at Hesta not far away - she sat down on a chair against the wall, her eyes always looking at the texture of the floor of the room, looking uninspired.
Rico poured a glass of water and put it into Hesta's hand, then pulled up a chair and sat down, "Okay, let's talk."
"Is that something important to you, Hesta?" Anna asked.
Rico looked at her, "Why don't you explain why you appeared in our room first?"
"Because I also live in this suite - I have a key card, and the room inside the suite is not locked," Anna replied, "This should be easy to understand?"
"I'm not asking what method you used, I'm asking what you came for. You couldn't have accidentally gone astray."
"No, I came here specifically because it's very dangerous tonight," Anna smiled. "At this time, I think it's better to stay with you."
"...Then you've come to the wrong place completely." Hesta suddenly spoke.
"why?"
"Don't you know everything, Anna," Hesta looked at her, "think about it with your knowledgeable mind."
The room fell silent again, and Rico could almost smell the non-existent smell of gunpowder in the air. She sighed softly, "Where's the little girl, her name is 'Zero'... Does she know you are here?"
"She'll be here soon."
"That's good," Li Ge nodded. "She will be here soon. You two should leave this apartment as soon as possible. Go as far as possible."
"Why?"
Li Ge crossed her fingers and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her who was really ungrateful. "We are not joking. Wherever we are tonight is the most dangerous place."
Seeing that Anna had no reaction at all, Rico could only explain further: "We just figured it out on the way back. Robbeglier suddenly issued weapons to his followers. There must be some purpose - to kidnap the crew and return home? It doesn't make sense. , because as long as Chiba doesn't let go, everyone will be bombarded when the cruise ship goes back; directly confront Chiba? It's even more impossible. Even if Roboglier is stupid, he still has some clear-headed subordinates. Damn it. Attacking mercury needles with these weapons is suicide in disguise.”
Anna smiled, "Not really?"
"Yes, yes, not necessarily. For example, Jane is very fragile now," Rico agreed. "Roboglier's ultimate goal is to return to land as soon as possible. Thinking along this line, his most important thing is to change Chiba's wishes - after all, whether the 'Shengming' will be cleared by fire or not when it returns is all a matter of her words."
Rico continued, "Let me use an analogy. If they find some reason to send me away tonight, and then successfully injure Jane seriously, then Chiba will most likely change her mind, because she must let the ship get closer. to the shore in order to send Jane to the hospital as soon as possible.
"Of course, the target person is not necessarily Jane. It would be the same if the linguist named 'Bo Shanfu' was seriously injured. However, this person was hidden tightly by Qianye, and he didn't even know where he was - —So it’s more convenient here.”
Hesta stared at Anna coldly: "Do you still want to stay with us?"
"need."
Rico turned his head incomprehensibly, "...so what did we just say?"
"Uninvited guests are not welcome at our door." Hesta said bluntly, "If you insist on staying here, go back to your room."
Anna drove her electric wheelchair towards Hesta and Rico, and finally stopped in front of Hesta.
"There's still a little time before dark, do you still want to go out for a walk?"
"Where to go?" Hesta asked.
"Not far away, on the seventh deck, there is the Shengming Navigation Museum. According to Shengming's practice, everyone can visit there on the second day after boarding the ship... But unfortunately, this time This routine was interrupted during the voyage——"
"No." Hesta said softly.
"I won't go either," Rico added, "I have no interest in this kind of museum..."
Anna was silent for a while, then spoke again: "On the day we boarded the ship... I don't know if you still remember. I once told you that the alias of the 'Shengming' was 'Alecto'. What do you think about this?" Do you still have an impression?"
Hesta didn't speak, just looked at Anna quietly.
"The answer to the mystery is in the Navigation Museum." Anna paused for a moment, "Do you want to go?"
…
On the way to the Navigation Museum, Anna always walked in front of Hesta and Rico.
Since the passenger elevator was damaged, Anna took them through another barrier-free passage. They rarely met other people along the way. The long corridor was like a strange corridor that they occasionally encountered in dreams, if it were not constantly changing. The deck numbers made Hestad almost doubt whether this road had an end.
Behind her, Rico remained tense.
"Why can't you come back tomorrow?" Rico lowered his voice, "Have you forgotten what Meyer reminded us today?"
