Rico's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and Hesta captured this momentary change, "What's wrong?"
"I just think...it's quite interesting," Rico lay down on the chair again, "Their status in this group of people is not high, so why do they disobey?"
"It seems that it cannot be summed up by 'obedience'..." Hesta frowned and thought, "Tasia has always respected Si Lei and it has not changed. She obviously doesn't have a good impression of Helen - and later on me. "
"What's the reason?" Rico looked over.
Hesta did not speak. At this moment, she suddenly thought of many possibilities, but no matter which one it was, she could not think of a way to change it immediately.
…
At the other end of the negative second deck, Fayence, Gustave and Jacqueline stood in front of a public telephone.
He kept changing his phone number, but no one answered. He had clearly made an appointment with a few of his cronies before, but it seemed that none of them arrived at the fixed place to wait.
He cursed and hung up the phone.
"Are you okay?" Jacqueline asked with concern, but her voice was obviously uneasy.
Fayence ignored it. He stared at the phone fixed on the wall, his eyes so hard that they seemed to pop out of their sockets.
After hesitating for a moment, he directly dialed the number of Bishop's restaurant.
"Hello, Bishop Restaurant on deck six, how can I help you?"
"Hello... I'm looking for someone," Fayence's throat moved. "Is Mr. Abram here? Well, he is a tall man with a scar on the left side of his face and blond hair. He is very young today. He must be wearing a sky blue suit - what? Isn't there one in the restaurant? Well, what about Mr. Breuer? He is a little older, about 26 or 27 years old, and he is also wearing a sky blue suit. …”
Fayance mentioned the names and characteristics of the four people one after another, but the waiter shook his head one by one and said that there was no corresponding passenger in the restaurant at the moment.
"Something's wrong," Fayance put down the phone and looked back at Jacqueline, "Go up and have a look."
Jacqueline's face changed slightly, "...me?"
"Otherwise, should I show up and let Hesta catch her?" Looking at Jacqueline's fearful face, Fiance adjusted his tone, "I can't show up directly until the matter becomes clear."
"But for yesterday's explosion, I was the one who went to find Si Lei..." Jacqueline started stumbling, "If they find me -"
"Then can't you be careful not to let them find out!" Fiance pulled Jacqueline to his side. He stared into Jacqueline's eyes intently, and their faces were almost touching. "Listen, you first go to Bishop's Restaurant, see if our people are still there, find out what happened, and then go to the backstage of Grace Theater to wait for my call-"
"Don't leave me alone, please..."
"Listen!" Fiance interrupted Jacqueline loudly, "As soon as you leave, I will leave here as well. I will inform you on the phone where we will meet next. Jacqueline, cheer up. !”
"I don't!!" Jacqueline screamed, "I don't!! You swore you could protect me!! Now you want me to die too——"
Fayance covered Jacqueline's mouth and pushed her hard against the stone wall behind her. Jacqueline felt severe pain in the back of her head and shoulders at the same time. She couldn't make a sound and slowly slid to a sitting position. on the ground.
Fayence's eyes were also red. He raised his head and sighed, and sat down on the ground.
"It won't end here. As long as the game is not over, it means there must be a turning point, but I haven't thought of it yet..."
Jacqueline's vision was a little blurry. Before she could realize what happened, she was hugged by Fayonce.
"Sorry, Jacqueline, I was too excited just now. Yes, I said I will protect you. I will think of a way. Maybe there are other ways..."
Countless chaotic emotions were intertwined, and she had no strength to notice them. She only felt infinitely exhausted. However, exhaustion brought peace, and calm overwhelmed fear. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this brief moment of safety, as if everything that had happened in the past and what would happen in the future It didn't matter what happened. The two hugged each other, kissed and cried, as if their souls had become one.
Not far away, Gustav, whose hands and feet were bound and his mouth was tightly taped, looked at this scene in horror. He tried his best to raise his head and turn over, looking at the occasional flashing figures in the distance - those who passed by from time to time. The crew members passed by at a distance and didn't even look at this side.
About a quarter of an hour later, Jacqueline left and Fayance returned to Gustave.
"Okay, young man, let's go, we can't stay in this place for the time being."
Gustave made a hoarse gurgling sound from his throat, and Fayance slapped him, causing Gustave's ears to ring.
Gustav fell limply to the ground and felt the tape being torn off from his mouth.
"If you have anything to say, say it now, say it in a low voice," Fiance whispered. "If you dare to scream again later, I will kill you."
"Mr. Fayance..." Gustave was furious, "I really...am not worthy of you...carrying me all the time."
Fayonce laughed, his voice low and powerful, as if the person who had hugged Jacqueline and cried bitterly just now was a completely different person.
"Helen is your guardian, and Si Lei is also willing to be your guardian. Boy, I have to say that you are quite capable."
"Helen is... no longer my guardian," Gustave cried, "Officer Si Lei has also died in the explosion... I am now an ordinary passenger, Mr. Fayance, do you know, In fact, when I voted, I voted for you——"
Before Gustav could finish speaking, he was kicked in the heart by Fayance. His whole face was twisted and he could hardly breathe.
"You have become a risk passenger, but you still want to be an ordinary passenger?"
Gustave gasped, "Anyway, Mr. Fayance... we, we are... companions -"
Fayance sneered and patted Gustav's fleshy face: "Are you worthy?"
Then, Fayance sealed Gustave's mouth again, carried him on his shoulders, and both of them quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
…
At nightfall, Agnes and Meyer made bedding in Bishop's Dining Room along with all the surviving passengers.
The crew thoughtfully prepared tents and various night lights. However, in this situation, no one is in the mood to do this. Most people only need the simplest mattresses and quilts - if there is any trouble here, they can just open the quilts. Can run.
The Bishop's restaurant was brightly lit, and Agnes and Meyer did not fall asleep. They sat around the table and jointly studied the "Guidebook" filled with various rules and regulations.
Just after 8:30, a strange crew member pushed open the door of the restaurant. She walked straight to Agnes without opening a word.
"Madam, I'm here to pick you up for tonight's banquet."
