Ana looked at the screen again and suddenly changed the topic.
"I never understood why Ava would take that risk and involve herself in a major case that could become a shocking scandal at the last moment of her life."
Chiba's eyes moved slightly, "Ava likes adventure."
"Ava does like to take risks, but she also cherishes her honor," Anna said softly. "When I first met Hesta, I knew that she was not the kind of person Ava admired most - although she did last year. Tan Yi used some thunderous methods and caused some effects...
"But even if it bites, a rabbit is still a rabbit. How could Ava not think of that?"
"Who are you calling Rabbit?" Chiba frowned, "Jane?"
"She was given the wrong talent," Anna whispered. "An honest child became a mercury needle, and she was also gifted——"
"What are you talking about?"
"A person's nature never changes." Anna looked at Hesta, who was pressing on Gobelin step by step on the screen. "Look, she is already taking on responsibilities that are not hers - acting as a role model when she comes up. A savior who makes promises she simply cannot keep... Just like the police officer, at the end of the day, they are the same kind of people."
"You're wrong, Anna."
"am I wrong?"
"Outrageous."
"I did feel some sharp moments in her, but that's what you imposed on her - maybe it was these things that confused Ava and made Ava mistakenly think that the person in front of her was a warrior," Anna said softly Said, "But in fact, her world is very small, so small that it can only accommodate a few people. She is not interested in the outside world. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why she has worked hard for AHgAs over the years. She is upright and loyal... He was a worldly good man, but... that’s where he ended.”
Chiba took a deep breath.
"Don't you believe it?" Anna glanced sideways. "The responsibility she bluffed into at Bishop's Restaurant today will only become a rope tightening around her neck in the future -"
"I haven't been able to figure out one thing." Chiba suddenly interrupted Anna.
"……What?"
"You are very smart in many things, always hit the nail on the head and have insight into people's hearts..." Qianye walked behind Anna, quietly running his fingers through Anna's curly hair and leaning against the back of her neck, "You should Considered a smart person?”
Ana lowered her eyes slightly and let out a low laugh.
"As a result, you always make mistakes in some unexpected things, exposing some... amazing stupidity." Qianye murmured in a low voice, "What should I say, there is really only a thin line between genius and fool. Separated?"
The light on the screen flashed as the picture changed, reflecting the faces of the two people.
Anna didn't look back, and Chiba didn't move forward either.
The two of them were just sitting and standing.
One after another, there was silence.
The sound of faint breathing and the sound of arguing voices mixed with electronic noise from Bishop's Restaurant filled the room. In the peripheral vision of the two of them, they saw all the passengers in Bishop's Restaurant standing up and people blocking the exit of the restaurant. But except for a few thorn monks with ferocious faces, the rest of them had a look of sadness and joy in their eyes. Confused. Most of the passengers still did not understand what was happening in front of them. Except for a vague belief in survival, no one knew what to do at this moment. Since Hesta was forcing Gobelin to take out the "Guide", everyone stood first. On Hesta's side, it's always easy to be comforted by standing together.
"Do you still want to bet?" Anna suddenly said.
"What do you want to bet on?"
"Let's see what choice your Jane makes."
"What's the bet this time?"
"If I win, you let me take Chen Daoping away when we get off the boat."
"impossible."
Anna turned around and said, "Didn't you still firmly believe that Jane is not the kind of person I said?"
"Some things cannot be used as bets," Chiba replied calmly, "It has nothing to do with whether you can win in the end. Change it."
"Come to the Hard Rock Bar for a drink with me... just like you said in the video."
"Are you sure you want to gamble on this?" Chiba whispered, "The odds of winning are too slim."
"Just tell me the bet you want, what do you want if you win?"
"Give me back that tape."
"...Do you want to destroy it?"
"Yes." Qianye looked at the screen, "I have already seen the key in Jane's place. You have the video with you now, right."
"Indeed, I always carry it."
"Then let's talk about it." Qianye took a step back, "I have to go to Si Lei's place now to have a look——"
"Qianye." Anna suddenly said, "Fireworks... I mean the "Two Carlos", it's very beautiful."
"...It looked better back then," Qianye said in a brisk voice, "Do you regret it?"
"Never will."
There was a soft click, and the door was opened from the outside.
In the room, Anna raised her head slightly, and the white cat in her arms stared curiously at Anna's expression - it was a complex and delicate emotion. The white cat stepped on Anna's palm a few times, but she couldn't do anything. No words, just a smile.
…
"Let this pointless argument stop!"
At Bishop's Restaurant, Gobelin, who was surrounded by everyone, finally stopped talking about him.
"I must deliver the Guide when everyone is present." He looked at Hesta, and then looked around at the silent crowd. "I can't explain why... It's not that it can never be done, but this is the reason. , I can only explain it when everyone gets the "Guide" - I know what I am doing, but everyone, do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course we know," Hesta took over again. She leaned on her wheelchair calmly and spoke softly: "We just ask that you wait here with everyone else, or let some representatives go with you. , go to your room to rest - but you seem to be unwilling to accept both of these, and you just ask everyone to suffer for another four hours for no reason. Is this acceptable? "
"...Okay, I'm going to pick up Mr. Robbeglier. I can't take you with me, because this will expose his position——"
"Shut up! Gobelin!" In the crowd, Rene, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pushed his way to the front, "You irresponsible scum...are you going to throw dirty water on Mr. Roboglier now?" !”
"I--"
Just as Gobelin was about to explain, René had already turned around and looked at the others, "Don't believe what he says, don't believe a word of it! I assure you that Mr. Robbeglier must be in his cabin now—— In such a difficult moment, there is no way he would leave all of us and hide alone in some unknown place. He is just tired and needs to rest!"
