Tasia continued to describe the security inspection in her memory to everyone, but things did not develop as she expected. She even had a feeling that after she finished talking about what she had seen today, several people sat firmer.
Almost all the soldiers had left, and no matter how much Tasia urged everyone, the passengers remained motionless.
At this moment, Agnes suddenly turned around and said, "Meyer, let's go."
Meyer didn't understand the situation at all, but since Agnes said this, she took action immediately.
A man stepped forward to dissuade her, but as soon as he called out Agnes's name, Iger yelled: "Get out of the way! If you have anything to do, talk to me at the observation deck! Meyer, move quickly."
Meyer pushed his wheelchair, almost jogging, and quickly left the restaurant.
With less than three minutes left, Tasia was so anxious that she almost shed tears. She looked around desperately, wanting to ask everyone why they didn't believe her. However, the more anxious she became, the more unable she was to say a word.
From the moment Agnes left, half of the passengers did start to waver, but they only looked at the reactions of the people around them from the corner of their eyes, and no one really got up.
In the silence, there was a sound of footsteps outside the restaurant - Meyer ran back again, "Are you leaving, Tasia? There is an elevator... Iger asked me to come back and ask you."
Tasia gritted her teeth, half-hiding the tears on her face, and followed Meyer without saying a word.
At the elevator entrance, Agnes was sitting in a wheelchair and kept pressing the elevator door button.
The three of them got on the elevator together, and Tasia almost immediately started to shed tears. Agnes originally wanted to ask her something, but when she saw her expression, she immediately turned away in disgust.
"Ege..." Meyer whispered, "Aren't you worried that this is a trial, just like what you and Hesta said yesterday -"
"No way," Agnes replied softly.
"Why?" Meyer glanced in Tasia's direction, "I feel like the scene Tasia just mentioned... is very similar."
"It's just because they are very similar, that's why it's impossible." Agnes stared straight ahead, "It's impossible for such low-level problems to arise in a real trial... trying to cover up the obvious."
Tasia quickly wiped away her tears, "...What trial? Does it mean the test you have to take before boarding the ship?"
"Yeah." Agnes responded softly.
"I don't understand..." Tasia frowned, "What do what I just said... have to do with the trial?"
Agnes didn't answer.
Meyer thought for a while and then asked, "Then...don't others realize it?"
"What?" Egg raised his head.
"Is there something wrong with not realizing the reset of that box?"
"Probably they were bluffed by Fiance." Agnes said softly, "Such an obvious flaw can be figured out after just a little thought. Maybe they can figure it out as soon as Tasia leaves. .”
Tasia was startled, "...Why do you want me to leave?"
Agnes still didn't answer her.
The elevator rose to the seventh deck, and the wind from high places made the three of them unable to open their eyes for a while.
Meyer pushed Agnes out of the elevator first, followed closely by Tasia. They looked around and saw that the entire deck was deserted. Although Hesta and Rico took the first step, they It doesn't seem to be here.
"Wait a minute." Agnes said softly, "Someone will come up later."
…
In the dark interrogation room, Hesta looked down at Helen on the ground. Her hands were tied again, and all her belongings were searched out by the crew in advance and placed on a table not far from here.
She tried to get up again, but Rico pushed her slightly from the side. Helen immediately lost her balance and fell heavily.
"...What exactly do you want...Hesta?"
"Are you convinced?" Hesta asked.
Helen laughed, with a little helplessness in her breath, "Does it make sense...why do you need to ask?"
"Of course I have to ask, aren't you very good at hiding? No one can find you on the ship these days?" Hesta tilted her head to one side, "But if I want to see you, no matter where you are, you can Can't escape.
"Are you convinced, Helen?"
Helen closed her eyes and breathed a little quickly, "...What did you give me to eat?"
"Some sedative drugs." Hesta said softly, "Don't worry, they are all regular drugs. I used to take them myself."
Helen frowned, and a strong feeling of vomiting came over her. She tried her best to turn over and knelt on the ground. However, no matter how hard she retched, the things that had almost reached her trachea could not be vomited out. At the same time, the heart-wrenching feeling The uneasy dizziness became more intense.
"The expected duration of this voyage is two months, but my friend was worried that I would not be able to contact the hospital in time after I disembarked, so when preparing the medicine, she prepared three times the amount... What you just ate, It’s about half a week’s supply for me, right?”
Helen felt it was getting more and more difficult to breathe, and she had to exert all her strength every time she exhaled. This slowly coming feeling of suffocation brought about the illusion of death... Every second the time advanced, it became more difficult.
Helen desperately wanted to induce vomiting, but with her hands tied behind her back, this wish was in vain.
"Hesta..." Helen reluctantly raised her head, her eyes were red, tears were streaming down her face, and her voice was low, "What on earth... do you want me... to do?"
"Good question, to the point." Hesta smiled slightly, "But you have to find the answer yourself."
"It's almost half past nine." Rico reminded in a low voice.
"Let go." Hesta whispered.
Rico stepped forward and cut off the tape on Helen's wrist with a knife.
Helen almost instinctively put her hand down her throat, followed by violent vomiting - the food was mixed with half-digested medicine, giving off a unique sour smell.
Rico pushed Hesta to come behind Helen. Hesta took out his cane and slapped Helen hard on the back of the neck.
Helen suddenly fell into her own vomit.
"If you want to hide, keep hiding, but I will still take time to ask you for answers tomorrow," Hesta said warmly, "Think carefully about how to please me."
Helen was unable to get up, and she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes again, but at this moment she heard Hesta's laughter - a continuous, weird low laugh, which sounded like a magic sound and made her feel sick again.
Leaving the interrogation room, Rico pushed Hesta towards the observation deck on the seventh deck.
When passing a mirror, Hesta caught a glimpse of Rico with a complicated expression. She raised her head and said, "What's wrong?"
Rico let out a long hum and looked down at her, "I feel like I'm the thug next to the villain now."
