There was a sound of water coming from the toilet.
After a while, Rico walked out waving his hands, "I'm ready——"
The sound of the door closing cut off the end of her voice.
Li Ge turned around, "...Hey, Si Lei left alone?"
Hesta fell back on the bed and frowned, "She said she would go to the restaurant first..."
"Did you have a fight?"
Hesta shook her head weakly.
"Then why did she leave alone..." Rico walked to Hesta, "What was the last thing you talked about? I didn't hear it clearly inside."
"...She asked me if I had advised Anna to stop."
"Well, what do you say?"
"I didn't think about this topic last night..." Hesta held her forehead, "Of course you can persuade me, next time, if you remember next time..."
Hesta's voice weakened, and she pressed her stomach, her expression becoming even more painful.
"What's wrong, do you want to vomit again?" Li Ge leaned over, "Let me help you up?"
"I can't vomit...if I vomit anymore, I'll just vomit my stomach out," Hesta said softly, "Is there anything to eat?"
Rico stood up and walked around the room. She dug out two hard pieces of bread from under a pile of miscellaneous items on the desk. She broke them into pieces and threw them into the water glass. She mixed them with a spoon and finally handed them over.
"Come on, take care of yourself."
Hesta held the cup with her left and right arms and started chewing.
Li Ge was thoughtful on the side, and suddenly spoke softly: "Jane, sometimes, do you think I am a bit too cold-blooded, in all aspects?"
"...Huh?" Hesta reluctantly opened her eyes and even temporarily put down the water glass.
"OK, leave me alone," Rico patted Hesta's shoulder firmly and said to himself, "...Since I have no problem, it's because Si Lei is too enthusiastic."
…
At nearly eleven o'clock, Rico pushed Hesta and left the room. The iron door of the elevator was open, and there was a guardrail surrounding the outside. Rico poked his head in and took a look, and saw several crew members working suspended in mid-air.
"Hey!" Li Ge took the initiative to say hello, "Are you repairing the elevator?"
Several crew members looked up at the same time, "...yes."
"Thank you for your hard work. How long will it take for the elevator to be repaired?"
"It won't take long!" one of them replied, "it will be back up and running in a while. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!"
"fine."
Rico quickly retreated and continued to push Hesta toward the stairs. When he passed a floor-to-ceiling window, Hesta suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
Hesta looked through the transparent glass to the open-air deck in the distance. There were about seven or eight people lying side by side on orange lounge chairs. They were wearing sunglasses and had drinks on hand.
Further away, several people were taking photos. They kept changing their postures and taking photos with the sea behind them.
"Is it my imagination?" Hesta looked at them. "There seem to be more passengers on the ship..."
Rico also noticed something strange: "...are they not the group of people Bernhard brought on board?"
"There should be no women among the soldiers Bernhard brought aboard." Hesta whispered, "...but you can ask later."
The two soon arrived at Bishop's Restaurant, and sure enough, everyone was still waiting here.
Li Ge caught sight of Si Lei in the crowd. When their eyes met, Si Lei pursed his lips and seemed to be smiling.
Li Ge was a little surprised. He always felt that Si Lei was a little angry when he left the room this morning. Why did he take the initiative to say hello now...
The next moment, a thin figure in the crowd stood up.
"Ms. Hesta is here!"
Rico's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was even more surprised - the person approaching him was no one else, but Gustave, who had disappeared at the dinner last night.
There was not much expression on Hesta's face. Although it was deliberately hidden, it was also due to the slow reaction caused by the hangover.
She took out her handkerchief and coughed a few times.
"...Are you still safe?" Hesta whispered, "That's great."
Gustav came to Hestad with excitement. He half-knelt down excitedly and wanted to kiss Hestad's left hand, and Hestad handed over his cane.
Gustav held the end of the cane, kissed it and then pressed it to his cheeks reverently.
"Yes! I'm still safe!" Gustav raised his head, "This is all because of you!"
Hesta repeated softly, "On my account?"
"Yes, it's all because of you!" Gustave stood up and turned towards the people behind him, "Okay, now that Ms. Hesta is here, I can start to formally tell what happened to me last night... I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long, it's all because-"
"Don't explain these useless things," Adams interrupted. "Just tell me how you escaped last night - how did you escape from those monsters?"
"This is also the first thing I want to say," Gustav said, stroking his heart with one hand. "Maybe this fact is hard for everyone to accept, but - those passengers who attended the night banquet, they are not monsters... They are the same as us. They are all passengers on this ship, but they are not just passengers...many of them have personally experienced Mr. Roboglier's 'Eden'!"
For a time, there was an uproar everywhere.
"Please listen to what I have to say!" Gustav almost shouted, "Everyone -"
A few dull blows silenced the dining room again - Hesta tapped the table with her cane.
"Quiet." She looked at Gustav, "Continue."
"In fact, we completely misunderstood each other," Gustave said earnestly. "In fact, they are not hostile at all-"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Bernhard on the side heard his veins popping out. "What did those beasts do the night before yesterday? Do you need me to say it again!?"
"Don't be angry," Gustave instinctively raised his hands, "Yes, what happened the night before yesterday was very bad, but it was just a very bad group of bad elements among them, and most of them were friendly. of--"
"Shut up!" Bernhard stepped forward, pulled out the pistol from his waist, and pressed it firmly against Gustav's temple, "Boy, I'm warning you, if you dare to say a word for them again, so I--"
Before Bernhard could finish speaking, several crew members suddenly pounced on him from all directions. Before he even had time to react, the firearms were surrendered.
Not far away, Hesta, who witnessed everything, was shocked: the movement speed of those crew members was far faster than normal people. Hesta, who had been in a daze all morning, suddenly woke up. She looked up at Rico and found that Rico had entered bullet time - this was almost the hunting instinct of all mercury needles when faced with chelates.
Several crew members had returned to normal at this time. One of them held Bernhard's arm behind his back with one hand and held a walkie-talkie with the other hand: "The risky passenger was found to be wearing a gun!"
