"Similar, but not exactly the same..." Si Lei carefully identified the blurry image on the screen, "Their emblem is simpler than that of the Thorn Monks, at least the outline is clearer."
"interesting……"
Several people slowly watched the ten-minute scene several times, but found no more details.
"Are you sure that's all?"
"Yes, most of them are still images played over and over again. It's quite easy to find this section." Si Lei said softly, "Actually, I have a guess."
"I also thought of a possibility..."
Hesta and Si Lei looked at each other.
"Boycott the Monks."
…
At noon, the group returned to the cabin for a lunch break. Sure enough, Si Lei found a dress in the lower drawer of the wardrobe.
This is a complete suit. The jacket is made of dark blue cashmere fabric with white vertical lines. The lapels and buttons are inlaid with satin. In addition, there are two shirts with different dark patterns and a beautifully carved wooden box. , containing cufflinks and spare buttons.
When trying it on, Si Lei looked back and forth and found that the cut of the clothes and pants were very suitable, and even the size of the leather shoes was suitable. This made Si Lei feel a little uncomfortable, and then he changed back to his old shoes.
Rico tilted his head: "Don't you want to wear something new?"
"New shoes always hurt your feet when you wear them, so it's better to wear your own ones that fit you better." Si Lei took off his coat again and hung it in the cabinet, "That's it."
"You are dressed so formally, wouldn't it be too weird if I wear a pullover then..."
"You didn't bring formal clothes?"
"Who brings formal clothes on vacation?" Rico thought for a while, "Would Mercurial Needle's uniform be okay? I can wear Jane's uniform."
"Okay, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Si Lei said softly, "Actually, I can just wear regular clothes and go there -"
There was a faint knock on the door, and Si Lei went out to look. After a while, Tasia followed her into the room.
As soon as she entered the door, Tasia said with a serious expression, "Sorry for interrupting your lunch break!"
"Not at all," Rico raised his hand in embarrassment, "but it's very embarrassing that you keep apologizing like this..."
"What's wrong?" Si Lei asked.
"I saw the rules posted by Ms. Hesta!" Tasia clenched her fist and put it close to her heart, "Although I didn't raise my hand just now..."
"Don't worry, I'm not really asking who has watched and who hasn't," Hesta looked at Tasia with a smile on her face, "But I really didn't expect that you are already a guardian? When did this happen?"
Before Tasia could answer, Si Lei was already stunned, "What?"
"I forgot to tell you," Hesta replied, "Today's gathering is interesting. At least two passengers have become guardians - Tasia and Helen."
"No, I'm not." Tasia immediately defended.
"Then why did you stop Helen and the others from saying the three rules in public? You know what this means, right?"
"I know, but I'm not a guardian. I'm coming to you now because of this -"
"Wait a minute," Si Lei looked at Hesta, "Why are you sure Helen is the guardian?"
"Because she practiced the rules of the Guardian Code at the rally." Hesta replied, "Gustav and Jivi cooperated one after another at that time. There was probably something between the three people."
Si Lei still looked in disbelief, "...This is impossible."
"Why isn't it possible?"
"I was just now -" Si Lei stopped mid-sentence, "Anyway, I checked the guardian registration list before going to adjust the monitoring, and there was no one's name on it."
"...Okay, we'll talk about this later." Hesta looked at Tasia, "Let's talk about you first. You said you were not a guardian, so how did you know what Helen was doing?"
"Because that rule was what Helen told me personally last night."
"Why is she telling you this?"
"...I don't know! I met her at the elevator last night. She found out that I read the "Details" and told me about it immediately. Maybe she wanted me to cooperate with her today... But She was wrong!" A determined expression appeared on Tasia's face, "I will never...risk everyone's lives.
"I'm very afraid that more people will get into trouble if this continues," Tasia's voice became lower. "It's reached this point. I think everyone should unite. After all-"
"Yes," Hesta interrupted, "Can you tell me your proposal."
"What exactly do those rules mean? Can you further explain to us all? For example, why the elevator is normal during the day, but multiple people must travel together at night... I believe that as long as you are willing to explain, everyone will believe you!"
"Of course, I think so too." Hesta looked at her, "After all, trust is mutual, and someone should take the first step."
Tasia was startled, as if she didn't expect Hesta to agree so quickly.
"...This is all I came for," she said softly, "to tell you about Helen, and I hope you can come forward to settle the quarrel..."
"Yeah." Hesta nodded again, "I heard it all."
Tasia took a deep breath and felt a wave of warmth again. This situation reminded her of the last brief conversation with Hesta in the corridor. She couldn't help but lowered her head and touched her nose, "Thank you... Thank you Ms. Hestad.”
"Go back and rest, and conserve your strength." Hesta said softly, "We should especially support each other at this moment. Please continue to pay attention to these clues and tell us at any time."
Tasia nodded repeatedly and exited the room.
"Do you think what she said is true?" Li Ge said softly.
"It's not like lying."
"But why did Helen tell her that extra rule?"
Hesta thought for a while, "Maybe it's because of the explanation in the daytime activities - 'Solidarity and help between guardians should be unconditional'... It's only a matter of time before Tasia becomes a guardian."
The two of them discussed what had just happened, and Si Lei sat down not far away.
She looked at the two young people in front of her. Hesta's attitude towards Tasia just now made Si Lei suddenly feel a little sad. The sadness was mixed with surprise, loneliness and increasingly strong self-doubt.
Perhaps it was because she had rarely participated in Mercury Needle's direct battles in the past, so she rarely felt that Mercury Needle was different from ordinary people. However, from the moment she boarded the ship, the loneliness caused by this difference has always lingered.
Just like Chiba can shoot to end the life of a little girl without hesitation, Hestad can also lower the penalty at will after judging that the ship belongs to the old order, and enter Albodonica's hunting game without resistance... ...There are not many passengers on this ship, but there are various high-ranking people.
Si Lei suddenly remembered the exhibition hall under the sea, and the line of golden words silently facing the silver banyan tree.
Perhaps the ancient Gulf of Lebanon never really existed.
