"Oh, yes... I have something to ask both of you for your opinions on."
Si Lei pressed Gustave's shoulders and pushed him towards him.
"Helen is missing. Fayance and the others bullied him. We just happened to meet in the infirmary. I was wondering if we could let Gustav stay in our suite for the night - just for one night."
"Just one night, are you sure?" Hesta looked at Si Lei, "What if Helen doesn't come back tomorrow?"
Si Lei frowned, "If Helen doesn't come back tomorrow..."
Gustav took the initiative and said, "I hope to become a dangerous passenger of Officer Si Lei."
Rico and Hesta waited for a while, and seeing that Si Lei really didn't seem to want to refute, they couldn't help but look away.
"Don't feel embarrassed," Si Lei asked, "If you have any concerns-"
"No...no worries." Hesta replied, "Anyway, we have a lot of empty rooms over there."
…
After Gustave was settled, Si Lei quickly returned to Hestad's room - she was very sure that Hestad and Rico were obviously hesitant to speak just now.
"You're finally back!" When Rico saw Si Lei, he stopped what he was doing. "Is Gustave settled in?"
Before Si Lei could answer, Hesta immediately pointed behind Si Lei and said:
"Every door..."
Si Lei quickly closed the door and locked it. blazing
"I let him sleep in our room, the room where we rested before." Si Lei replied, "It is indeed a bit reckless to bring him here suddenly today, but -"
"It's not important." Rico put the newly filled cup of hot water into Si Lei's hand. "If Helen still hides and doesn't show up tomorrow, you don't really plan to be Gustave's guardian."
"I... haven't agreed yet," Si Lei looked at the two people in front of him suspiciously, "What's wrong with being a guardian?"
Hesta and Rico looked at each other.
"There's nothing wrong with just being a guardian," Rico said softly, "But..."
"But what, can you finish what you're talking about in one go?"
"That's it..." Hesta thought, "We just came back from Agnes and Meyer..."
"I know." Si Lei still frowned, "It might be their sisters' turn tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so what? What does this have to do with Gustav? Did they say anything about Gustav? "
"Ah, don't be anxious..." Li Ge raised his hand, "If you are anxious, we won't know where to start."
Si Lei's expression became even more puzzling. She put aside the water that Li Ge handed her and sat down on the soft chair next to the bed.
Si Lei looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
"Dietrich," Hesta whispered, "do you remember this man, the first Thorn Monk to die on the ship?"
"Remember," Si Lei replied, "the child who was dismembered and hung on the curtain."
"The trial he participated in was to create three terrorist attacks with children as the main body and more than 40 victims." Hesta said softly, "He succeeded, so he appeared on the Ascension." blazing
Si Lei's expression was frozen on his face - suspicion, anger, and fear that opened in an instant.
"When did it all happen?" Si Lei's face almost turned purple, "...where did it happen?"
"Ah...relax, relax," Hesta waved his hand nonchalantly, "Success is success, but no one was really injured, and no one died because of this... because these trials all happened in Robberg. On the server built by Lin himself."
Si Lei leaned back until he bumped lightly against the back of the chair.
"I do not understand……?"
"Rob Green and the others have a device that can completely simulate reality after entering it. It is said that there is also a set on the second deck of the Shengming," Hesta said softly, "Agnes said that Gobelin found some Means that allow people to enter the device unconsciously, that is,
That is to say - people are already in virtual reality, but the user still thinks that everything in front of them is real... It is almost like this state.
"With the support of funds and weapons set by Rob Green in advance, Dietrich spent about seven months planning five terrorist attacks in public places. Two of them accidentally entered the local police investigation The field of vision was destroyed in advance, and the remaining three are in the southern part of District 3... One of the orphanages is where he grew up."
"He was also adopted by Rob?"
"Yes." Hesta nodded, "The time Dietrich chose to commit the crime was the charity sale day of the orphanage. On the charity sale day, the children gathered around their works waiting for buyers in the auditorium - it was probably such a Activity.
"It seems that because the local urban animal is an owl, the children in the orphanage will make all kinds of small owl figures - wood, stone... and origami works."
"Owl statue..." Si Lei murmured, and she suddenly remembered the diary she had read not long ago - the diary written by Dietrich himself, which also contained the same image.
This sudden memory made Si Lei suddenly feel a little painful. She clasped her hands together and slowly leaned forward until her thumbs touched her forehead.
"...Agnes told you all this?" Si Lei whispered, "How could she know so clearly..."
"She has read some of Dietrich's materials," Hesta said softly, "but unfortunately, there is only Dietrich's material. The content of the trial for everyone on the ship is different, because Rob's The original intention of the design is to let everyone face their own weaknesses. He set up different scenarios for everyone...
"As long as the person shows "indomitable courage" and "unquestionable loyalty" during the trial, even if the person concerned fails to complete the objective of the paper, additional points will be given as appropriate. "
"Dietrich has completed this test, Grunin has completed it, Ashley, Bree, Agnes... all passed the test perfectly," Hesta looked at the figure in front of Si Lei's feet. That ground, "including Gustav."
Si Lei frowned.
"If you want to be his guardian, then you should also understand these things," Hesta said softly, "These people do not appear here for no reason. The fact that they can board the ship is a certificate in itself."
In the silence, Li Ge picked up the glass of warm water that Si Lei had put down.
"Drink some water, officer."
Si Lei shook his head wordlessly and did not reach out to pick it up. blazing
The courage to move forward...
Unquestionable loyalty.
In the context of Rob Green, that's probably not a good word.
"We have been speculating about Agnes's trial on the way back," Rico tried to mediate the atmosphere. "Although she has been refusing to say anything, Jane deceived her, and I feel like she was deceived."
