The first time he saw Si Lei, Hesta felt something was wrong. Si Lei was so tired today that Hesta could even clearly smell some hesitation in her body. In comparison, Gobelin looked more like the person giving orders.
"Si Lei must have stayed up all night again last night." Rico leaned slightly towards Hesta, "Has she always been like this?"
"……Maybe."
Everyone's gaze made Si Lei and Gobelin stop at the same time. They both seemed to be at a loss, but Gobelin quickly reacted: "All the new news was synchronized to everyone last night. There is nothing to say today. Everyone." Let’s eat first.”
Some people withdrew their gaze. Suddenly, there was a sharp scratching sound from the other end of the restaurant. Someone pulled out his chair and stood up.
Hesta followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man walking towards Si Lei and Gobelin.
This man was dressed in a very typical government army uniform. At first glance, Hestad thought he had met his former instructor Arnold - they were both tall and strong men, and the blood vessels on their arms were very thick, even when they were not exerting any force. , the muscle lines are still obvious. But this man had very dark hair and was about forty or fifty years old, not much younger than Anna.
"Hello, you two," the middle-aged man glanced at Gobelin and Si Lei, "Which one of you is really in charge here?"
Everything fell silent again, so the man's voice could be clearly heard throughout the restaurant.
Si Lei was stuck for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer this question. Gobelin had already reached out his hand first, "Then it mainly depends on what 'matter' you are talking about. We all discussed it... Why don't we start by talking about it?" Tell me what you want to do?”
"I am Bernhard, the adjutant of the Shengming's special operations team - where is Mr. Robbeglier? I remember you are his assistant?"
"Mr. Robbeglier is not feeling well today and may rest in his room for the next two days."
"Okay." Bernhard nodded, "You should have heard from Mr. Rand last night what our group of people do. But I want to reiterate that we are not aware of the secrets he carries. We knew nothing about the mission, and the only mission we received before boarding the ship was to ensure that the flight sailed normally - because of the weird pile of boarding letters."
"You mean the "Instructions for Boarding"?" Si Lei asked.
"Well, our team is directly under the leadership of Mr. Avinash. You should know that he is a mercury needle who works for the coalition government. He has always been very concerned about the navigation status of the Ascension, so-"
Si Lei frowned slightly: "...Why doesn't he come by himself?"
"Mr. Avinash is very busy with his work. How could he spare such a long time at sea." Bernhard looked at Gobelin again, "Rand has been keeping us on the third floor these days. The deck is on standby, but I know it's not peaceful on your side... Now that something like this happened again, I think we should unite as one - we are a well-trained team, and when necessary, we can provide some support within our capabilities, In return, we ask the ship's mercury needle to assist us when necessary."
"Mercury needle?" Si Lei repeated the word.
Bernhard coughed lightly: "There is at least one chelate on the ship, and it attacked some of our companions last night."
"What exactly do you mean by 'support within our capabilities'?"
"At least, a patrol team that responded in a timely manner." Bernhard raised his head slightly. He detected some subtle disdain in Si Lei's tone, so his tone became a little unhappy, "When the chelate appeared, You always need someone to warn you in time, right?"
"No need. It's just because it's a chelate, so it's not necessary." Si Lei looked directly at him, "What happened last night wasn't enough for you to understand - more people appear scattered in different places, and they are The greater the chance of chelates taking advantage of the situation, the so-called 'patrol teams' are useless except for self-comfort. If you don't engage in more shootings and explosions like last night, our situation will become controllable. But there are many..."
"Watch your words, Miss Police, yesterday's explosion had nothing to do with us!"
Gobelin clapped his hands gently, "Okay, okay, Officer Si Lei, please be less angry. Why can't you communicate well... Mr. Bernhard, how many people are there in total among you?"
"Four hundred and forty-six."
"So--"
A hard chickpea suddenly hit Bernhard on the back of the head. The bean turned and flew into the sky, landing at Gobelin's feet.
The three of them looked at where the flying beans had come from - Hesta was using her spoon to flatten the chickpeas in the salad, and one of the beans accidentally flew out of her plate.
As if aware of the change in the surrounding atmosphere, Hesta raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bernhard touched the back of his head, then turned back to Gobelin and continued, "Let's go on -"
A fork flew directly towards Bernhard's back, but this time he quickly ducked out of the way.
When Bernhard discovered that Hesta, who was sitting not far away, was causing trouble again, he was a little annoyed: "What on earth are you doing, little girl?"
Hesta was not in a hurry to answer. She tapped the table with her left hand and stared at Gobelin.
"Ms. Chiba made it clear enough last night. If you have any special requests, Ms. Chiba will and will only receive the information conveyed by her from Officer Si Lei."
At this point, Hestad's eyes turned to Bernhard, "You want to seek asylum from the Mercury Needle, but you bypass the designated agent of the Mercury Needle?"
"We didn't go around it," Gobelin was a little surprised. "We were discussing with Officer Si Lei from the beginning to the end -"
"If we really want to discuss it, I suggest changing the time to tonight." Si Lei said in a low voice, "I'm not in a good state right now."
"...Well, you could have said it earlier," Gobelin smiled friendly, "Then we will do it during dinner -"
"Mr. Gobelin, why don't you put these useless words aside for now." Hesta interrupted him again in the distance, "When are you going to talk to everyone about the "Shengming Cruise Guide"?"
In an instant, everyone was in an uproar.
Gobelin's expression didn't change much. He stood still, "...I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"Why are you still pretending? You already got the Guide, right?"
"Who did you hear this from?"
Hesta smiled: "Agnes told me personally last night——"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Agnes, who was not far away, suddenly stood up, her face turned red instantly, "I didn't at all!!"
