"Because of what happened last night?"
The girl opposite gave a bitter smile and did not answer directly. She grabbed her long hair and whispered, "Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen when we boarded the ship."
"Did you receive the Notice?"
"You mean the letter that was sent with the card? I received it - all passengers should have received it."
"Then why are you boarding the ship?" Hesta rolled up the waffle with a fork. "No cruise ship would send such strange things to tourists."
"Yes." Rapunzel murmured softly, "Why did you get on the boat?"
Li Ge glanced at her: "It's too late to say this now. Keep your weapons ready and be on guard at all times—"
"...It's useless. You also saw the chaotic scene last night..." The man sitting next to Rico grasped the edge of the tablecloth. He took a deep breath, "By the way, you two will have a chat later. Are you free? I have something I want to talk to you two about—"
Before he finished speaking, the other six people at the table all turned silently and looked at him.
"What are you looking at me for?" The man's eyes widened and he looked back at his companions, "If you don't speak up, are you going to force others to stand in a tree with you -"
Rapunzel's face turned pale: "... Then at least listen to what Mr. Gobelin has to say for a while. Why are you so anxious -"
"Don't mind my business!"
"alright."
Hesta's fork lightly tapped the small iron cup holding eggs nearby, and the quarrel on the table stopped for an instant.
"Can anyone tell me first why there are so many people here today?"
"I know, let me tell you." The man next to Rico stuck his head out, "We now have a morning meeting every morning at Bishop's restaurant to exchange information."
"Who will host the morning meeting?"
"It's not decided yet, it's just a verbal agreement... It started yesterday - you were there yesterday, and even if you were sitting far away, you should have heard something." The man looked at Li Ge again, "Miss Li Ge was not here yesterday. I can tell you more details. We mainly watched the surveillance video of the boy named Dietrich before he died. Officer Si Lei also analyzed a lot of details for us at that time——"
"You don't need to tell me," Rico smiled and waved his hand, "I'm not a passenger in the same group as you. These things have nothing to do with me."
"How could that not matter? Didn't the lady next to you also change her boat card? You have to—"
"Shut up," another young man said sarcastically, "Can't you see that I'm not willing to listen?"
The whole table suddenly laughed, and the man's face suddenly turned red.
"You go on." Hestad spoke at the right time, "You now have morning meetings in Bishop's restaurant every morning. I know this - then who are these extra people today? I remember this time from Havre The total number of passengers boarding the ship at the port does not exceed thirty?”
"Yes, there are only twenty-seven or twenty-nine people in total. You remember clearly!" The man answered immediately. Hesta's question immediately made him feel a lot of encouragement. "These people are not travelers, they are joint members." The troops under the government's special operations agency were said to have boarded the ship from District 5. They didn't even know what their mission was when they boarded the ship. These people usually stay on the third deck of the cruise ship - where most of the crew are. There is a rest area, we ordinary tourists rarely go there."
"Where did all this news come from?"
"Hey," the man shook his head, "Although you two are mercury needles, the information is really too limited... We all knew this information in the middle of the night yesterday. Officer Si Lei personally interrogated the man named Sanders Lan. A virtuous man, although he looks inconspicuous, he is the top commander of this small army-their army is here for Bo Shanfu..."
A new visitor appeared at the entrance of Bishop's restaurant. Hesta glanced over there inadvertently, and her eyes did not move away for a long time - crew member Mantel was pushing Anna who was yawning profusely in.
The two went directly to the dining area. Mantel was very respectful throughout the process. She held the dinner plate and picked up different foods according to Anna's wishes.
Anna's appetite was very small. After grabbing a cup of black coffee, two spoons of orange jam, a little chopped nuts and two slices of ham, Mantel pushed Anna directly to a small table reserved for the crew to sit down.
Anna spread out the ham slices, smeared them with jam, and sprinkled some chopped nuts on top. Finally, using a knife and fork, she skillfully folded the ham slices into a meat roll, which was almost the right size to eat in one bite.
When they were about to enter, Anna noticed Hesta's gaze, and their eyes met. Anna smiled slightly, and raised the coffee cup on the side to greet Hesta from a distance.
Hesta looked back, "...Where did we just talk about."
"Ah?" The man was a little surprised, "We talked about... um, Bo Shanfu is a relatively sensitive person..."
"Why?"
"I'm not sure about this, but you should have heard of this name. I remember that there was a time when this matter was very big. District 14 was urging people very hard, and District 3 also said it would release people. , but something unexpected happened, and we didn’t make it.” The man smiled, “Just a few years ago, this was the headline on the front page of the newspaper every day, do you have any impressions?”
"Yes," Hesta replied.
"I knew it..." the man smiled, "Anyway, this thing is quite strange. When there was a turmoil in the city before, the people didn't leave, but now they are really released, and quietly, without any news... But It's reasonable, maybe they just want to kill the person halfway and let Boshanfu die on the high seas before returning to District 14."
"'Assassination of Bethlehem' is what Sanders Rand said, what did the other person say?"
"Another person? Which one do you mean?"
"Most of the other participants in the war either died in the hands of that chelate or committed suicide, but I remember that Rico left one alive in the theater last night," Hesta said softly, "Is that so?"
"Oh oh -" the man suddenly realized, "You said that person... he didn't survive later."
"……What's up with him?"
"On the way to being escorted, the man suddenly broke free from his restraints and jumped down from a ventilation shaft. He died on the spot!"
Hesta and Rico glanced at each other in unison.
"Anyway, last night was really bloody—"
"Who is responsible for escorting?"
The man's expression condensed slightly, "I will..."
There was another sound of footsteps at the door. This time, Si Lei and Gobelin appeared at the entrance of the restaurant at the same time. As soon as they appeared, the whole restaurant became quiet. Not far away, Anna even put on her gold lace. Glasses, obviously not wanting to miss any interesting details.
