"Then let's see what he wants to do," Hestad replied. "The phone number in every room on the ship would have been easy to find anyway."
Li Ge shook his head and put his hands on his hips, "...Forget it, as long as you are happy."
"It's getting late," Si Lei looked at his watch, "You guys should go back and rest. I have to go to the medical room to meet with the doctor over there."
Hesta grabbed Si Lei's hand.
Si Lei was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"
"Is this an urgent meeting?"
"...I can't tell, but we made an appointment at this time," Si Lei tried to pull his hand away, but found that the other party had no intention of letting go, "Jane?"
"You have to come back with us."
"……Why?"
"You need a sleep so much," Hesta whispered, "You don't even know how bad you look right now..."
Si Lei made a confused expression and looked at herself reflected in the corridor window, "Is there one?"
"Of course...Is this the only thing you have left to do this morning?"
"Well, it's more than just-"
"Then we can't let you go." Hesta's hand tightened, "If you continue like this, you will definitely have physical problems..."
Si Lei was dragged forward by Hesta. She was suddenly stunned: "How did you become so strong?"
Hesta was also startled, and then let go of his hand.
Si Lei moved his wrist slightly and smiled at Hesta, "It seems you recovered quickly."
Looking at Si Lei's face, Hesta realized that the other person obviously had no intention of taking a rest.
In fact, if you think about it, you know that Si Lei's decision must be to exhaust all possible means, peeling off the cocoons, trying to find the initiator of everything... She already has a lot of details in her hand that can be scrutinized.
Hesta felt tired again. She sat back in her wheelchair without saying a word, and her face that was full of life just now instantly became dull again.
The three of them came to the west elevator entrance. There were two elevators here. Si Lei and Li Ge pressed the up and down waiting buttons respectively and started waiting.
"Don't worry about me. I will definitely have to find a place to sleep at noon." Si Lei broke the silence. She looked at Hesta, "Fortunately, you are staying in Qianye's room now, so I can rest assured. During this time, I I can’t even come back to change my shift... Thank you for your hard work, Rico.”
"It's okay." Rico stared at the slowly rising indicator light of the elevator, "Most of the time, it's not hard work..."
Hesta tilted her head: "How do you plan to catch the perpetrator this time?"
"Passive defense is useless. The only way is to figure out what the murderer does and then stay ahead of her."
"You said 'she'?" Hesta whispered, "You don't know this person's gender."
"I really don't know, but I feel like she is a woman... What do you think?"
"...I don't know either," Hesta retracted his gaze, "But your intuition seems to have always been very accurate. Maybe...it is indeed the case."
Both elevators went up from the second floor to the second floor, and then stopped there.
Li Ge suddenly remembered something: "Have you been to District 12, Officer Si Lei?"
"...I went there on a business trip a few years ago when I was working. What happened?"
"Have the people at the workstation over there ever told you about 'Dopulos' Soles'?"
"what is that?"
The elevator on the left starts moving upward again.
"More than forty years ago, there was a mercury needle named Dopulos in District 12. When she first entered the base, she found that she had a mole about three millimeters in diameter on the sole of her left foot - you know, this kind of mole Moles that grow on the soles of the feet and palms are more likely to develop lesions because they are often squeezed and rubbed.
"So her doctor told her at that time, 'You need to pay attention to the size of the mole on the sole of your foot every six months. If one day it exceeds five millimeters, we must take some action.'" Dopoulos was very nervous after hearing this. During those years at the base, she measured the size of the moles on the soles of her feet every week and recorded them solemnly in a special little book.
"Fortunately, three years have passed and the mole has remained unchanged...until she participated in the chelation battle for the first time."
Rico's narration stopped temporarily.
"...She found out that her mole was over 5 millimeters?" Si Lei asked.
"No, she lost her entire left foot in that fight, and then she started using a prosthetic leg."
Si Lei laughed dumbly, and Li Ge also laughed.
"Why are you telling me this story?" Si Lei asked.
"Well, I just suddenly remembered..." Li Ge looked at her, "Don't make yourself too tired, especially now, every day is an accident, you can't plan it."
At this moment, the elevator door dinged and opened in front of the three people.
"Especially like Jane said, you shouldn't sacrifice your sleep time. If you don't sleep well, you basically can't do anything well." Rico reversed the direction of the wheelchair and pushed Hesta into the elevator, "See you later! "
"See you."
Si Lei waved his hand and watched the elevator door close again. Her elevator on the other side also arrived at this time. Si Lei stepped into the car, still thinking about Rico's story.
"The soles of Dopulos' feet..."
Si Lei leaned against the wall behind him, looking at his haggard self in the mirror in front of him, and suddenly remembered the motto behind Hesta's "Instructions for Boarding":
Our metaphors are guiding our journey.
The elevator door opened again, but Si Lei didn't think too deeply about it. She cheered up and stepped into the corridor outside the car again.
…
"Rico, let's go for a walk outside." Hesta said suddenly in the elevator.
"Don't you want to go back and catch up on your sleep?"
"I just...don't want to think about it anymore," Hesta replied in a low voice, "You said last night that you would wait for my key card to come out to find inspiration at night - why don't we just walk around now."
"Where are you going?"
Hesta thought for a while: "Let's go to the open deck first."
The sea was calm today, but there was no sun in the sky. The light on the sea was extremely dazzling. Both of them put on sunglasses and moved along the side of the ship.
The two of them stopped on the shaded side of a building to enjoy the breeze. Hesta stretched her legs and slowly slid halfway out of the wheelchair. She turned her head and looked at Rico: "...Why do you think Si Lei is so energetic? Those people on the ship It’s none of her business, but she wants to care.”
"You can take care of others if you want." Rico sat directly on the ground, "Anna choked you so much last night, didn't you also choose 'rescue'? And you also successfully rescued a time bomb with evil intentions... …”
Hesta's waist straightened up immediately, "I did it because-"
"You can save me if you want, and you don't have to explain." Rico laughed, "But you really shocked me this morning - how could you be so sure that Gobelin had the "Guide" in his hand and use Agnes To defraud him?"
