"What doesn't mean much? Are you a doctor? If you think it doesn't mean much, then it doesn't mean much?" Rico pressed Hesta's shoulder and blocked her in the corner, while he took out the medicine box and a small small bag from the inside of his coat. flat iron kettle.
Hesta listened to the sounds outside and did not insist anymore. She quickly picked up the medicine she needed to take and stuffed it into her mouth. Several capsules got stuck in a ball under her throat. Hesta choked for a long time before swallowing with difficulty.
"I'm still not very good at taking care of people," Rico glanced outside, "I have to set an alarm clock to remind you tomorrow..."
"Don't think too much, this is not your problem."
The two of them looked at the reflection in the glass not far away at the same time - Gobelin and Bernhard were talking on the side of the boat, and their respective subordinates stood four or five steps away from them, watching the movements around them.
Gobelin and Bernhard always faced the sea, and no one could see their expressions clearly. About ten minutes later, Gobelin, who had been leaning against the railing, straightened up, and Bernhard also took a step aside. Although the two were still chatting, they looked like they were about to part ways.
"Their conversation should be almost over," Hestad raised his head and looked at Rico, "Do you want to follow Gobelin or Bernhard later?"
Li Ge raised his eyebrows, "I won't follow anyone, just you."
"...But they are going to separate now!" Hesta thought that Rico didn't understand what he meant, "We must follow them separately in order to--"
"I don't know what you want to do now, and I don't care," Rico interrupted Hesta, "but as long as I'm here, you can't even think of acting alone."
Hesta sighed, "You really don't have to worry about me. I'll basically be fine during the day. I've stopped taking medicine for myself before. I have experience—"
"What do you mean? Your condition last night was caused by stopping your medication?"
Hesta's throat moved, but she didn't answer. She just turned her head and looked outside. Bernhard took off his hat and saluted Gobelin, then turned and walked in the other direction.
Gobelin stood there and watched the other party go away.
"Hesta!" Rico's voice increased, "Answer me! When did you stop taking the medicine?"
Hesta's face was full of embarrassment. She scratched her head and frowned, "...I haven't taken the initiative to stop. I'm just guessing, because my state during this period...is very similar to when I stopped taking medicine..."
"No wonder you just said it wasn't my problem - so while I was resting, Chiba not only allowed you to go out at night, but also allowed you to stop taking your medicine privately!?"
"Lego, let's talk about this when we get back..."
Before Hesta finished speaking, Gobelin was already leading people back in the distance. Rico and Hesta stopped their whispers in tacit agreement, each hiding in the shadows of the nearby corridor.
Listening to Gobelin's footsteps, Hesta gently rubbed her fingers - for her, it was not difficult to choose between Bernhard and Gobelin. The former might have to perform something special and A secret mission, but the latter is now most likely going to visit Sister Agnes.
Hesta estimated the distance between Gobelin and herself. After a moment, she walked out of the shadows and followed up from another road. Li Ge followed without saying a word. The two of them staggered forward and kept watch on each other. They could not avoid the surveillance, but they were not worried about it. After all, the power to control the surveillance had been transferred to Qianye and Si Lei. Hestad believed that Gobelin must also understand this.
Sure enough, when Gobelin arrived at the third deck through the elevator, he quickly entered a "private area" - this is the "camping cabin" where the crew rests. A curtain separates the public area from the room where the employees actually rest. Separated by a door, there is no surveillance here, and even the brightness of the lights is deliberately kept half of what it is elsewhere.
Hesta walked on the level of pipes above Gobelin's head. Through the layers of metal grids, she saw Gobelin encountering several of Bernhard's subordinates, and they nodded to each other. Others did not seem surprised by Gobelin's visit.
In front of an inconspicuous room, Gobelin stopped. The moment he opened the door, Hesta heard Meyer's low sobs.
close the door. There was a sound of locking behind the door.
Hesta and Rico exchanged glances.
…
A few minutes later, a ceiling in Gobelin's study moved sideways, and in the darkness, Rico and Hesta descended to the ground one after another.
Outside, Gobelin was talking quietly to Meyer, and Agnes would add a few words from time to time. Hesta listened for a while. Although it was not real, she could probably tell that Agnes was expressing her loyalty, and there was not much worth noting.
After adapting to the darkness in the room, Hesta began to look at her surroundings. There are no windows here, the walls and table corners are piled with papers, and everything is messy. The two of them moved very carefully to avoid accidentally knocking something over.
There are three doors in this small room, one leads to the outer room of the study where Gobelin is currently located, and the other leads to the corridor. The position of the last door seems a bit strange, and it is unknown where it leads. Rico put on his gloves and tried to twist the handle - it was obvious that the door was locked.
"Rigo." Hesta called his friend's name in a voice so soft that he could only breathe. "Did you bring anything that can be used for lighting?"
Rico pulled out a flashlight about the thickness of a finger from his trousers, "Yes."
"There seems to be a clue wall here. Can you take a photo?"
Rico turned on the flashlight, and she carefully blocked most of the light source with her fingertips, leaving only a vague gap to illuminate the field of vision in front of her——
Several red, black and brown lines wandered on the wooden board, connecting several photos with names. Unfortunately, neither Rico nor Hesta recognized what was written on them. They could only confirm that it was from Some kind of writing in the northern part of District Fourteen.
Looking at the unfamiliar faces in those photos, Hesta felt a little uneasy. Her eyes roughly scanned the wall of clues until she saw a familiar half-length photo.
"Anna?"
A sharp thumbtack was pierced through Anna's forehead in the photo. Her photo was crossed with a red cross, and the meaning was obvious.
Hesta felt as if thunder exploded in her mind. She looked at the people surrounding Anna again, and soon saw Qianye and Boshanfu piled up in the corner. In the lower right corner of Anna, Zero's single A photo of a person was also posted on it, and three black lines crossed out Zero's name under the photo.
Hesta held her breath, a long-lost excitement washed over her heart, and she could almost feel her heart beating in her chest.
Anna, always Anna...everything was flowing in her direction.
