"That makes sense," Bernhard murmured in a low voice. He gritted his teeth and looked at the table. "I made a wrong decision... and I'm paying the price for it now."
Tasia couldn't bear it: "Don't be sad, I believe Ms. Hesta must also have good intentions..."
"She-" Bernhard was about to say something when he suddenly realized that Si Lei was sitting opposite him. He had no choice but to swallow all his complaints, force himself to calm down, and peel off the egg shells bit by bit.
Si Lei had already heard the implication. She thought for a while and whispered: "It's better not to draw conclusions now. It's hard to say what the matter is like right now."
Bernhard chuckled a few times, "There's no need to comfort me... I know you're a good person, Si Lei, but there's no point in saying this."
Si Lei was just thinking about how to respond when he heard the knife and fork in Tasia's hand suddenly fall on the dining table - Tasia opened her eyes wide and looked at the entrance of the restaurant.
Si Lei and Bernhard also turned their heads at the same time.
I saw Helen walking in alone - she was still wearing the dark blue vest and jeans from before, her arms and fingers were stained with some gray-black stains, but there were no wounds on her body. expeditious
Adams was the first to get up and walk towards her. There was still blood on the corner of his mouth that had not been wiped clean, but he didn't care. He just chased Helen and asked her where she went last night and why she wasn't with everyone during the security check. Go to the shelter.
Helen acted as if she didn't hear anything and walked straight to a seat away from everyone and sat down. She began to call the crew to order food, but Adams continued to ask questions, so Helen immediately grabbed his collar and punched him several times. Several crew members quickly stepped forward and dragged Adams away in public.
Tasia chased after her with some worry, and what happened next was strange even to her. After she tried to stop her, several crew members actually stopped and carefully explained to her that Adams was forced to stay. The risk she took, as if she was someone worthy of being taken seriously.
Tasia's face gradually burned. This inexplicable respect was so suspicious that she even had some illusion - as if she was hypocritically playing a role, a role that did not belong to her at all.
The leader of the crew looked at her, "...For these reasons, we hope you will respect our work."
Tasia came back to her senses and said, "No, you can't take him away. We are about to have today's regular meeting!"
"Then are you willing to vouch for him?"
"Guarantee?" Tasia was startled, "Well, yes, what just happened must have been an accident, because Mr. Adams is not usually like this, but..."
"Okay, then we can let him go now."
"What exactly do you need me to do?"
Several crew members looked at each other again, "You don't need to do anything extra. You are the guardian. Of course you can vouch for him."
The crew released Adams' shoulders, and several of his friends immediately stepped forward to help him, and helped Adams back to the restaurant with a sullen face.
Tasia watched several people leave.
"...Do you really don't need me to do anything?" Tasia blinked, "Signature? Or something else-"
The leader of the crew smiled: "You are a guardian, which means you are trustworthy. If you need any help next time, please feel free to call us."
"……good."
Several crew members left, and Tasia stood there, suddenly remembering the end of the "Daytime Activities Suggestions" - every passenger with good conduct and noble character should become a guardian.
But in fact, she did not become trustworthy in order to become a guardian. On the contrary, she was directly regarded as a trustworthy object because she became a guardian. There is no moral part in the process of becoming a guardian. All it requires is to obtain the consent of the at-risk passenger and obtain the other party's ship card...
What's the point?
Tasia returned to her seat and moved her chair closer to Su Lei.
"…
…Can we ask Helen what happened last night," Tasia asked Si Lei, "Since she didn't come back last night, maybe she also knows the whereabouts of Philip?"
Si Lei shook his head, "Wait a minute."
She was always watching Helen's back. Helen today was still as arrogant and tough as usual, but most of the calmness and calmness of yesterday had faded away.
Something must have happened last night.
"Hello, Ms. Si Lei?"
A voice came from behind. Si Lei turned around and saw a completely unfamiliar face. She was also wearing a crew uniform, but the style was subtly different from the ones just now.
"you are?"
The visitor leaned over and said, "Ms. Hesta asked me to tell you a few things. It's not convenient to talk here. Do you think we can go to the side?"
…
Time passed little by little, and most of the passengers gathered again in Bishop's Restaurant. As soon as Gustav entered the restaurant, he happily ran towards Helen, but Helen pushed him away angrily, with a look on her face that she should not approach strangers. .
At nine o'clock, Hesta still didn't show up, but Si Lei finally returned to his seat. Tasia came over curiously, "How was the conversation, Officer Si Lei?"
Si Lei shook his head and did not answer. He just looked ahead with a complicated expression.
"By the way," Si Lei remembered something, "Phillip is fine. He should be here soon."
Before Tasia could ask more, Sirey stood up and announced that today's regular meeting would begin without Hesta.
As usual, under Si Lei's instructions, Tasia began to tell the story of last night's experience to share her experience of attending the night banquet with everyone. She talked about this part very quickly - obviously the confrontation between the women was the least important thing, and once these topics were omitted, all she could talk about was the few hours of sitting at the dinner party. expeditious
"Later... the security check started, and Phillip and I were separated at that time. I went down to the second deck from the escape tunnel, and then a bartender opened the door for me... I stayed there. As of this morning." Tasia turned around, "Officer Si Lei told me just now that Philip was still alive, but I didn't know..."
"You missed an important detail," Si Lei reminded, "the brooch."
"Oh yes, the brooch, yes, we also wore the brooch last night..." Tasia couldn't help but glanced at Helen, "I gave the brooch to him... Where is Philip now?"
"He has been sent back to the cabin." Si Lei replied, "...Maybe he is not in a good state of mind."
