"What is it?" The man squatted down to check with concern.
"...It seems to be a case." Tasia replied.
"What a sick boy," the man stood up without caring, "Put it away and keep looking."
…
On the second deck, Rico pushed Hesta to the door of the special care ward.
The furnishings here look no different from those of an ordinary hospital. The only thing that makes people feel a little uncomfortable is that there is no living person in the corridor of the ward - no doctors, no nurses, no patients, and no family members caring for them.
The lamps scattered throughout the corridor illuminated everything. As the two walked in the brightly lit corridor, they could only hear the turning of the wheelchair and Rico's footsteps.
This weird atmosphere made Hesta involuntarily alert.
"Are you feeling scared too?" Rico said suddenly.
"……good."
"Then you look up at me?"
The wheelchair suddenly stopped, and Hesta felt a rush of adrenaline. She turned around - Rico suddenly approached and made a face at her.
"...Is it interesting?" Hesta looked back calmly.
"Yes." Rico pushed Hesta and continued to walk forward, "Imagine what it was like when I came here alone last night. I don't even know what Si Lei would do if he got up to go to the bathroom alone at night."
"...There should be a private bathroom in this kind of ward."
"Yes." Li Ge nodded, "But it's hard for her to go to the ground alone now."
Hesta breathed out softly.
The two came to the nurse's island in the middle of the corridor. Although there was no one on duty, there was still a registration form, pens and half-used ink on the table.
Hesta walked around the table and looked around. After turning a few pages, he saw Si Lei's ward number.
She put down the record book in her hand, raised her head and said: "...This kind of scene seems to be specially arranged to scare people."
"Then are you still going?"
"Go, of course." Hesta whispered, "I just think people who specialize in this kind of thing... are quite boring."
…
Elsewhere, two men in Hesta's room were making a final inventory of the items found.
In addition to some random notes - such as the timing of several weekly special dishes at Bishop's Restaurant, the deck locations of some key locations, etc., they also dug out several books, a diary of Robbeglier, a A list of prohibited and restricted items that Zhang had used, as well as some hard drives signed by Rico.
The two men flipped through the diary and quickly put it away when they saw that it contained some navigation records. Only Tasia noticed at a quick glance that there seemed to be something wrong with the recording time of the diary, but she could not ask to see it again - all These retrieved items will be sent to Fayence immediately.
"I feel like there are less things... Fayence said that when Hesta boarded the ship before, he was carrying a suitcase with him."
"Is it this small suitcase that holds medical cases?"
"Really? Who carries the case with them as a treasure every day?"
"But there really aren't any other suitcases in the house—"
"Well," Tasia looked at the two of them, "are you going to Mr. Fiance's place now?"
"What's wrong?"
Tasia whispered, "I want to go to the medical room."
The two men looked at each other: "I understand how you feel, Tasia...but don't make it difficult for us."
Tasia stopped talking.
The three of them left the room and came to the elevator. The two men discussed the last time they saw Helen. Tasia listened silently - it seemed that they were interrogating Gustav to confirm Helen's location, but It didn't go well.
The elevator door opened.
The man carrying various documents entered the door first. When Tasia followed suit, she suddenly felt a sense of fear - something was flying towards her from both sides quickly.
"Be careful!" The man standing behind Tasia pulled her out by her collar. Tasia fell onto the hard carpet, still in a daze.
The three of them heard a huge metal collision sound - just now, thin metal pieces were quickly ejected from the elevator's metal door sandwich. They collided together quickly and accurately, with enough force to break a cow bone.
"What's going on??" The man in the elevator was a little panicked, but he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
The elevator doors began to close slowly.
"Damn it!" The man outside the elevator began to press the door door button hard, but it was in vain. The elevator door ignored all his operations and closed completely.
"Damn it! Damn it! What the hell is this elevator doing!" The man kicked hard at the metal outer door of the elevator. His eyes stared at the glowing numbers motionlessly, and he was especially afraid that it would rise to the sixth floor or the second floor.
But the numbers haven't changed.
About thirty seconds later, the elevator door sounded the "ding-dong" of arrival again, and the door slowly opened - the things searched from Hesta's room were scattered all over the floor, but the people were gone.
The man was stunned on the spot.
Tasia finally came to her senses at this time. She stood up, walked into the elevator car after taking a few deep breaths, and picked up everything one by one.
During the whole process, the man kept calling his companion's name. He stood outside the door anxiously and angrily looking at this space where it was almost impossible to hide people, but no one responded to his call.
Suddenly, Tasia stopped. She looked around the entire small elevator space again, with a surprised expression.
"What are you doing?" The man outside the elevator was a little anxious, "Come out as soon as you finish picking it up!"
"The suitcase," Tasia looked at the man, "the suitcase is also missing..."
…
On the hospital bed, Si Lei's entire face was wrapped in gauze, leaving only his left eye and entire chin.
"Don't worry too much. The wrapping is a bit exaggerated. In fact, these are just minor burns." Si Lei's voice was extremely hoarse. "The main injuries are on your arms and legs... You also have fractures?"
"I'm fine." Hesta's eyes briefly paused on Si Lei's face, then looked at the pillow under Si Lei, "It's all my fault, I was careless."
"What?"
"I shouldn't have asked you to come with me when Jacqueline came to see you," Hesta whispered, "I should have left Rico and let her follow us... I overestimated myself. If Rico I was there at the time, you wouldn’t have been injured like this.”
Si Lei closed his eyes, "...there is no point in talking about if now."
Hesta was silent.
"How is Jacqueline?" Si Lei asked. "Did she escape?"
"I don't know," Hesta replied. "I didn't see her when I went in. I thought she was in there."
"...Maybe she ran away with Fayance after entering." Si Lei whispered, "How did these people get the explosives? Or is it so powerful?"
