At 9:05, the crowd at Grace Theater started to get restless - Hestad didn't show up as scheduled, she was late.
Every passenger here has a slightly tired face. Some men have obviously not recovered from the hangover. Their cheeks are the color of pig liver, their breathing is a little short, and they are slumped on the soft chairs in the theater with their hands open. . The young man not far away was walking back and forth anxiously, not in the mood to sit down.
On the second floor of the theater, Gobelin and others stood in a corner, overlooking the scene.
Si Lei stood at the entrance of the theater with some surprise, looking at the empty deck corridor, speculating on the reason why Hesta did not show up.
"Officer Si Lei..." Tasia walked behind Si Lei with some worry, "Do you want to call them?"
"I just called the room, but no one answered."
"This... nothing will happen to them, right?"
"No." Si Lei turned around and said, "There might be something delayed. Just wait."
"good……"
In the distance, Anna closed her eyes and sat quietly in her wheelchair. Mantel stood beside her, as if he had become her new caregiver. Suddenly, Anna half-opened her eyes.
Their eyes met, and Si Lei looked away.
…
"Jane, it's already past nine o'clock. Do we really want to keep searching like this?"
"try to find."
"Today is the first meeting since you officially became the adjudicator." Rico closed the book in his hand and stuffed it high on the bookshelf. "It's not good to be late for the first time, right?"
"It is already their honor to have me sitting in the position of adjudicator..."
Hesta quickly glanced at the catalog of the big book in his arms, and after confirming that there was no target content, he quickly put it back on the bookshelf.
In Anna's study, Hestad and Rico were checking the bookshelves related to the boycotting monks one by one, trying to find records related to the operation of the Supreme Praise. However, there are not many objective records in the manuscripts in this area. Most of them are the highlight memories of the leader by Roboglier's followers.
After reading the last document index in the upper corner, Rico jumped down from the ladder.
"Half of the above documents are incomprehensible, and the other half are the lecture notes compiled by Roboglier and his students. There is nothing useful." Rico patted the dust on his hands, "I will have to read something later." Eye……"
Hesta didn't look up. She suddenly turned back a few pages, and then turned back dozens of pages.
"Did you find anything interesting?"
"There seems to be a survivor on the Supreme Tribute," Hesta replied. "This person entered the freezer by mistake, and happened to encounter a power outage on the entire ship... In the end, he was lucky enough to be rescued."
"What's this man's name?"
"...There is no name written in front," Hesta frowned, "I want to see if there are any clues in the reference index."
Rico bent down and focused on the book on Hesta's lap. Suddenly, a sudden soft sound came from the two sides. Hesta and Rico turned around at the same time and saw Meyer standing with a dinner plate. Not far away, two silver table knives fell at her feet.
"you……"
"Morning." Rico saluted Meyer.
The door quickly closed, voices came from inside, and after a while, Agnes also came out in a wheelchair. She still looked very weak at this moment, but the pale aura of a dying person had dissipated from her face. Agnes frowned: "Hesta! How long are you going to lock us up!"
"...Guess," Hestad said without raising his head, "But if I guess right, I won't let you out in advance."
"Don't quarrel..." Meyer looked nervously on both sides, took a few steps forward, and looked at Hesta's side face: "Thank you for bringing us here. It's very quiet here, and it's very suitable for Egg to recover from his injuries." …”
"Really," Hesta took out the folded note from his pocket, "That's not what it says in your letter."
As Hesta waved her fingertips, the note flew towards Meyer like a poker, and when it was about to hit the tip of her nose, it suddenly unfolded, like two leaves stuck together, swirling and falling.
Meyer caught the note with both hands and opened it to see that it was the letter for help they had written yesterday. Meyer's back ears immediately felt hot, but she quickly put away the distress letter, "Are you looking for something?"
"Yes, we are looking for records of the cause of Roboglier's death."
"What?" Meyer and Agnes opened their eyes at the same time, "Mr. Robbeglier, he——"
"It's not your Mr. Robbeglier, it's another one."
"Is there any other Robbeglier in the world——"
"A thousand years ago." Hesta raised his head and looked at several file boxes high on the bookshelf, then turned to ask Rico to help take down a few, "You have been here for so long and you have never looked through these shelves. The book you read?"
"……not yet."
Following Hesta's prompts, Rico quickly took down the corresponding file box, which was one of the files that Anna had shown her before.
"Read it," Hesta handed the box of documents, "it's time to disenchant."
As soon as Meyer took a step forward, Agnes immediately said: "Don't be fooled by her!"
"What?" Hesta asked.
Meyer looked back at Agnes again, then turned around again, "...What is in here?"
"Some records," Hestad said softly, "about Robbeglier and the lives of women before him..."
"lie!"
"You haven't even read it yet, so how do you know it's a lie? There's also Roboglier's speech in it. There are many more praises than criticisms." Hestad turned sideways, "...all this Does it scare you?"
Agnes laughed, "Am I afraid? What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Afraid that I am not firm enough, that I will be shaken after reading these things," Hestad lightly patted the cover of the file box, "You know, the more you react like this, the easier it is for your fears to come true - "
"Don't try to trick us."
"Okay," Hesta raised his eyebrows slightly, "I finally passed the trial and got on the ship to live a 'great life'..."
She did not continue, but placed the file box in the gap of the bookshelf at hand.
Not far away, Meyer was a little confused. She turned her head and looked at Egg, "...what trial?"
Agnes said nothing.
"Let's go," Hesta looked up and said to Rico, "I found the quotation, it feels like it should be on the other side."
…
Near noon, the sound of the elevator opening and closing came from the corridor.
Everyone looked outside the door. At the end of the red carpet, people saw two familiar figures - Hesta and Rico finally appeared in everyone's sight.
The crowd retreated to the soft seating areas on both sides, and Rico pushed his wheelchair through the wide corridor in the center of the theater.
