"...Why?" Duo
"Because I only registered my name when I made the reservation," Anna answered matter-of-factly, "They probably won't be able to take two people away at the same time."
Tasia was even more flustered.
"...Do you need to make a reservation if you come here to read?"
"Of course," Anna replied, "You should still abide by the rules a little bit when living in this place..."
Just as she was talking, a crew member opened the door from the outside. She said hello to Anna and Tasia, then came behind Anna and pushed her wheelchair out. Tasia stepped forward and asked if she could be brought along, and she was refused.
Before going out, Anna suddenly remembered something. She turned around and said to the crew behind her, "You should find someone to take a look at her feet."
Tasia looked down and saw that her feet had become exaggeratedly swollen. But at this moment, these physical pains were the least of her concerns. Duo
"Please wait a moment, ma'am," the crew member turned back, "I'll be back soon."
"You really can't take me with you? I can follow you-"
"This is for your safety," the crew member replied seriously, "please wait for me to come back."
Anna left anyway.
Tasia stayed where she was, suddenly feeling that the dark waiting room had become eerie again.
…
On the other side, Rico searched for a long time according to the address given by Hesta, and finally came to the solitary room where Bernhard was previously detained. Duo
Before she even got close, she heard the sound of Helen knocking on the door rail. The sounds of kicking and banging continued, mixed with Helen's constant asking, "Is there anyone there? Damn it!"
Rico stepped lightly, approached slowly, and soon found an entrance at the other end of the solitary room - and Hesta was sitting in a glass room at the back.
As soon as they met, Rico asked in surprise: "...Why did you just arrest Helen without calling me?"
"I didn't capture the person." Hesta's eyes were filled with undisguised excitement, "But now I finally understand where the prerogative of the judge lies."
"How to say?"
"You sit down first."
Rico pulled out a chair and sat next to Hesta. Only then did she notice that there were two piles of debris on the table. One of them was several ship cards, keys, door cards, several band-aids, two pistols and Five switchblade knives, and another pile of coasters that are ubiquitous in restaurants, but in different patterns. Duo
Rico picked up the ship cards and looked at them - the number on one of them was exactly 62.
"These things..." Rico pointed to the knives and guns on the table, "Are they all Helen's?"
"Yes, all her belongings are placed here." Hesta pushed a piece of white paper in front of Rico's eyes, "This is the storage list of prohibited and restricted items that I just submitted tonight, look at it."
Rico took the blank paper.
In the item name column, Hesta filled in a lot of things. The first line was "Ship Card No. 62". The storage time on the form was 11:00 to 12:00 tonight. The initiator and the guarantor are both Hestad himself.
"At noon, Tasia said that she saw Helen carrying this ship card with her," Hesta said softly, "so I used it to test the use of this form."
Rico glanced at Hesta: "...You directly listed Gustav's ship card as a prohibited and restricted item?" Duo
"Yes," Hesta tapped the table lightly, "Then, at exactly eleven o'clock in the evening, this ship card was placed in front of me, and Helen who was carrying the ship card was imprisoned - because she carried it with her Prohibited items.
"And I just confirmed with the crew that tonight's safety inspection belongs to Category A. Do you remember, there are three categories of safety inspections on board: change of adjudicator, Category S; security personnel redundancy, Category A; crew violation, Category D. In other words, tonight’s safety inspection was entirely initiated independently by the current adjudicator, who is me.”
Rico was stunned for a moment.
"That is to say...as long as you like it
What thing can you forcefully pull him over to? "
"Yes, that's wrong." Hesta nodded, "Because not all items can be classified as "prohibited and restricted items." Look at the things I wrote next..."
Rico glanced down. Under "Ship Card No. 62", Hesta also filled in "Helen's Ship Card", "Helen's Own Ship Card" and "Bernhard's "Details·Safety Version"" "Manual" for several things, there are red approvals at the end of these lines of tables: rejected.
"What's the reason?" Rico asked. Duo
"It's not clear yet. It may be that the categories of prohibited and restricted items are restricted, or it may be that my description is not specific enough..." Hesta paused for a moment, "But anyway, the ship card with the specified number is valid... Look Get up, and I can also specify where this thing should be stored: if I want it in front of me, it will be in front of me, if I want it somewhere else, then it will be there."
"Amazing……"
"This is nothing," Hesta's eyes flashed, "Do you know where the more powerful place is?"
"where?"
"As long as I know a person's ship card number, then whoever I want to become a risk passenger will be a risk passenger."
Li Ge's mind swirled for a while, and he suddenly understood——
Once you know the ship card number, you can use the security check to take away the person's ship card; after taking away the ship card, you can directly register the at-risk passenger - after all, the ship card is the only valid identification for the entire journey. Duo
And the vast majority of passengers don't even associate security checks with adjudicators.
Hesta continued: "Gobelin said before that once the referee leaves office, he will automatically exit the game by default. This rule is not so much to protect the safety of the referee, but rather to completely hide this point so that this The game continues——"
"I don't understand," Rico raised his hand, "What does continuing the game have to do with hiding the privileges in the hands of the judge?"
"The key to the problem is not at all what "Rules" are followed, nor which guardian is in charge. Even if some guardians usually seem to be quite authoritative - such as Helen, her authority can only be established on her risky passengers. Whenever she touches the judge's evil scale, she will still be imprisoned and punished.
"I'm afraid, whoever controls the safety inspection on our ship has the real power..."
Speaking of this, Hesta suddenly had a thought. Thunder and lightning flashed across the sea of her chaotic thoughts, and everything suddenly became clear.
"...I understand." Duo
"What do you understand again?"
"Ana lied to me...Ana lied to me again!" Hesta clenched her fists, "This is not a journey of domesticating guardians at all... Even if it was, it would not be Roboglier's main purpose. !」
"……Why?"
"In the eyes of the adjudicator, there is no difference between these guardians and risky passengers. I think Robbeglier wants to choose his successor in the Supreme Praise to see who can quickly grasp the theme of this game..." Hesta looked at Rico, "It should be said that this is the judge's game."
