"You seem to be very much looking forward to getting an answer from me... But unfortunately, Ms. Hesta, I really don't know what you are talking about." Gobelin looked at the silver spoon in his hand and said in a low voice, "If There really is a manipulator behind our voyage, and I can only think that everything was arranged by Alek."
"Alek? You are optimistic enough," Hestad almost laughed, "I thought only the Thorn Monks believed this, but it turns out you believe it too."
"It seems like you're not impressed by this story?"
"Okay, even if it's Alek's arrangement," Hesta said softly, "Now this Alek obviously wants you to die. What do you think?"
"It's nothing," Gobelin said without changing his expression. "This is just one of the many severe tests we are destined to go through."
Hesta raised her eyebrows slightly, "...amazing."
Bernhard frowned when he heard this - every word Hesta said sounded like a yin and yang, and he didn't know where this mercury needle, who was currently confined to a wheelchair, got the confidence, just because she was next to him. Is there still a lively Rico?
"Ah," Hesta shouted stiffly, "did I take a long time?"
"...Twenty-seven minutes," Gobelin looked at his watch. "You must have chosen this time."
"It's just a coincidence." Hesta shook his head, "Lego, let's go back."
Just as Rico was about to push Hesta to turn around, Gobelin suddenly stood up and said, "Ms. Hesta."
"Um?"
"I have a curiosity, just a curiosity. If you don't want to, you don't have to answer at all," Gobelin lowered his voice, "Who do you think is the manipulator behind the whole thing?"
Hesta waved at him, motioning for him to come closer.
Gobelin leaned down and heard Hesta whisper softly:
"Alecto."
…
When Hesta returned to her original position, Anna appeared again.
She was still sitting in her wheelchair, looking in the direction of Si Lei and Tasia. When Hesta passed by her, Anna's eyes narrowed into a thin line and she showed a kind smile.
Not far away, Tasia walked to the front of the crowd, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Tasia could feel her hands shaking. In order to avoid being noticed, she did not hold the outline in her hand like Adams, but walked to the center of everyone's sight with empty hands.
Tasia took a deep breath and spoke her first words. Almost at the same moment, she coughed hard several times.
Things did not get better. Tasia soon found that her voice had a tremor that was close to crying, especially at the end of each sentence - the closer the breath ended, the more she couldn't control it.
A suppressed chuckle came from the rear right, and Tasia knew it was Bernhard without turning around. On the other side, Adams was imitating her tone in a low voice. He pinched his throat and made a series of coy whispers, while he was wasting his time. Anse tried not to make a sound, but his face turned red from suppressing it.
Tasia stood there, trying to push these sounds and images out of her mind, but she soon realized that her face was burning. This insight brought great embarrassment in an instant.
Tasia's voice began to become intermittent, and the volume gradually became smaller, and finally fell silent completely on a long stuck sentence.
The laughter around them also quieted down, and everyone exchanged glances and waited with interest.
"...I'm sorry." Tasia lowered her head and suddenly ran quickly towards the bathroom.
There was a man in the crowd who stood up immediately, pulled out five or six tissues on the table with both hands, shouted "Miss Tasia" and chased after him. Bernhard looked at his back and cursed, then slapped the table. Laughing loudly, "What a good boy, you really know how to choose the right time, and you will take advantage of him after a long time!"
On the other side, Adams whistled, "Why was Phillip the only one chasing him out! Are you guys still men?"
"Then why don't you chase me?"
"...Miss Tasia is not my type," Adams half-opened his eyes with a meaningful smile on his face, "Mature men don't like fragile beauties. Wait until you brats grow up." You’ll know when you’re older.”
Young men hissed at him.
A woman who ran away crying made the entire dull and sad hall suddenly feel relaxed. Many people smiled and looked in the direction Tasia left. Since Dietrich's body was found in the Grace Theater, Herstad This was the first time I saw these people showing such vivid and lively smiling faces.
Amid the laughter, Hesta looked at Anna, "Does it look good?"
"Huh?" Anna looked innocent, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say there is a good show?" Hesta said softly, "Or is this the show you like?"
Anna laughed silently, and she even coughed a few times because she was laughing so hard.
"what's so funny……"
"Sometimes the play is not good because the audience has not learned how to appreciate it," Anna looked forward, "For example, over there... did you see that woman sitting there without saying a word?"
Hesta followed Anna's gaze and turned her head, "You mean Si Lei?"
"You can call her Si Lei, but that doesn't matter. It's Si Lei today, and it can be someone else tomorrow... What matters is their faces," Anna said softly, "Did you see her expression?"
Anna raised her hands and gestured to the picture frame. The tired Si Lei unconsciously fell into Anna's frame.
"A good person, a brave person, a noble person with ideals in his heart." Anna paused, then smiled and frowned, "Why do people like this always find themselves in the wrong place?"
"..."
"Don't you think it's strange? Hesta, don't you have someone like this around you? It shouldn't be the case. After all, there are many such examples... What are their minds usually thinking about? Have you never been curious?"
Hesta looked at Si Lei. Among all the noisy faces, only Si Lei's face remained tense.
Her silence separates her from everyone around her...
A distinct and lonely alien.
"People always like to look for trouble. In the end, they blame the cruel fate of fate..."
Anna suddenly remembered something, turned her face sideways, her finger frame moved from far to near, and finally aimed at Hesta.
"You see, you are very smart. You knew from the beginning that you shouldn't join in this kind of excitement."
Hesta came back to her senses, she looked at Anna with some disgust and said nothing.
Ana put down her hands, "Why do you seem to be unhappy again? Didn't I say good things?"
