Hesta was a little confused: "You just said this morning that the three of us must be in the good camp -"
"Have I ever told you about my hunting days?"
"When?" Hesta looked at her, "In District 12, or in Sol Wasteland?"
"Saul Wasteland, when I was a child." Rico pushed Hesta and continued walking forward, "Have I told you?"
Hesta thought for a while, "...it seems not."
"The first time I went into the mountains was with my sister, and she taught me a lot of rules."
"You mean hunting skills?"
"No, it's 'rules'." Rico said softly, "For example, you cannot use traps; you cannot trap prey in advance; you cannot use wires or vines to restrict the movement of prey; you cannot hunt with poison or use tranquilizer guns; if the prey is crossing River, or is stuck in a mud pit, or is unable to move due to various reasons and loses the ability to escape - the hunter should not only not take advantage of the opportunity to kill, but should also lend a helping hand to help the prey escape."
Hesta was stunned for a moment: "...seriously?"
"It depends on what you hunt for. If you just want to eat their meat to satisfy your hunger, or skin them to make clothes, then you can kill them however you want, no one will care, but these things cannot be traded." Rico replied, "If a family wants to use animal skins and bones in exchange for money, then they must abide by this rule like hunting animals for sacrifice, otherwise it will be considered poaching."
"Does everyone abide by such rules?" Hesta asked.
"Of course there will be some people who don't follow the rules, but things will leave traces. The place is so big. If you can't catch them once or twice, they will be exposed sooner or later if they do too much."
"What will happen if it's revealed?"
"You will be looked down upon by everyone."
Hesta raised her head again, "Is there no other punishment?"
"This is already the most serious punishment. In my impression, those people who were caught by everyone all moved away in the end," Rico said softly, "If you want to continue living in the town, you probably won't be able to survive. "
Hesta thought thoughtfully: "...Why can't I survive?"
"Isn't it hard to live a life of being made things difficult for you?"
"Then if someone suddenly encounters something and needs money, and the neighbors can't get the amount she wants at the moment, can't this person secretly set a trap himself?"
"Without exception."
"...Then what if this person is your friend?" Hesta raised his head again, "You are the first and only one to discover the evidence, then you-"
"Humph, what else can we do? Let's destroy the evidence together." Li Ge raised his eyebrows, "But anyway, deliberately torturing prey is not a good habit. Don't imitate Anna. I think she lives too much." For a long time, people are a little twisted."
Hesta looked at Rico, "Why did you mention her so suddenly?"
"Yesterday, something happened to you and Si Lei at the same time. My first reaction was that she did it... But judging from the condition of both of you today, the doctors on this ship have done their best to treat you," Li Ge said in a low voice, "You You know, she suggested to me yesterday that I should kill Si Lei, and I still can’t figure out what she meant.”
Hesta was startled.
"Kill Si Lei?"
"Yes, because Si Lei has evidence against you and is deeply involved in every aspect of this voyage." Rico laughed again, "Anna has some disgusting abilities."
…
When Hesta came to the observation deck, everyone slowly approached in the direction where she appeared.
Bernhard quickly walked through the crowd and walked to Hesta. Even though he never stayed with everyone, he had already received the message from the crew long before Hesta personally prompted the safety inspection.
The two whispered a few words, and Bernhard turned around and began to gather the soldiers. The soldiers were all gathered together, and the remaining scattered people were all the passengers who had followed Roboglier aboard.
Hesta counted twice, excluding Fayance, Jacqueline, Gustave and Helen, there were only eleven people left.
"Didn't you get the rest?"
"Yes..." one person replied in a low voice, "They should be, they all stayed at Bishop's Restaurant."
Hesta's expression did not change, "Good thing."
"...a good thing?" Tasia thought she heard wrongly, and she suddenly raised her head, "Did the security inspection be canceled today?"
"Of course not," Hesta replied, "Not only will today's event not be canceled, but there will be a security inspection every day in the future. You need to wait for news from me at any time. Before each security inspection, I will inform you of temporary evacuation points. s position."
Tasia's voice was choked with sobs: "...Then, something happened to them now?"
Hesta looked at her, "Did you see the explosion last night?"
Tasia frowned, "Of course I saw it! Five people died in the explosion last night——"
"If fanatical followers like them don't die soon, you won't be able to reach the shore alive." Hesta looked at the remaining passengers, "I think you all have doubts about the so-called 'trial' Attitude, that’s why you’re alive today.”
Among the crowd, Agnes frowned.
"...Where is Mr. Fiance?" A person stepped forward, "Have you... caught him? What are you going to do with him?"
Hesta looked forward, "If any of you have news about Fayance, report it immediately to the nearby crew; similarly, if you find that anyone around you seems to have news about Fayance but does not take the initiative to report it, also You can still report it, and after verification, I will reward you according to the situation."
Several passengers looked at each other and remained silent.
"Okay," Hesta glanced at the passengers, "You can all leave. The security check should be over by now."
"...But where to go?" Someone asked stumblingly, "Our cabin is already..."
"Ask the crew and let them give you some suggestions - Bishop's Restaurant? Grace Theater? Anyway, as long as you can ensure safety at night, where to rest is not a rest." Hesta said softly, "After you are sure, find someone to tell me Your exact location, I will be on this deck all morning.”
After saying that, Rico pushed Hesta towards Bernhard's direction.
The two passed by Sister Agnes. Meyer was always holding the handle of Iger's wheelchair. She leaned down and said, "Shall we go now?"
"...I want to stay and see." Agnes looked back at Hesta's back, "Didn't she say what banquet I was going to attend tonight? I have to ask her for details."
Tasia, who was not far away, heard, "Do you need to know the details of the banquet? I also——"
"You go down with them first," Agnes glanced cursorily in the direction of Tasia, "I'll come back to you after I finish asking Hesta."
