Helen didn't respond immediately, but she didn't refute either. She smiled again and was about to speak when she suddenly felt someone tightening her neck from behind.
Helen felt suffocated immediately. She tightly grasped the strangling hand and slowly stood up from the ground.
"Whether she knows it or not, she won't be able to tell you." Rico's forearm strangled Helen's neck and slowly pushed upwards, "haven't we seen a lot of this kind of chelate? Don't waste it. effort."
"She is not a chelate..." Hesta looked at Rico, "What are you going to do?"
"If you catch her once or twice a day and torture her for more than an hour before she switches sides, you won't be so helpless." Rico looked at Hesta, "Since you have absolutely nothing to do with this kind of person, then there is no need to keep him." Let her run around outside so as not to cause trouble for nothing in the future."
Rico exerted a little force, and the veins on Helen's forehead had popped out. She began to flutter with her feet, trying to find the point of exertion again. However, Rico's movements were really clever - no matter which direction she twisted, she was always exactly in the right position. An almost unsteady state.
Helen rolled her eyes, her vision turned black and she could hardly see anything.
"Stop moving," Li Ge whispered, "Just think of this as a trial. If you die, you will wake up. Soon..."
Hearing these words, Helen, who was at the end of her strength, began to struggle again.
The moment of dying is always the most difficult. Hesta had already realized this when she force-fed the medicine last time. This time Rico's actions were more direct - of course this was not a test, a test. The judgment of death is much quicker. When it comes time to die, there will never be any delay, and there will be no such intense pain.
Looking at the dying Helen, Hesta calmed down again. She almost wanted to say "forget it", but that was almost equivalent to admitting that Helen's judgment was right and Helen had seen through her.
How could this be? Hesta frowned. She almost wanted to hold her collar and ask herself: Wasn't she very decisive when she killed Rene? Where was that courage?
"What?" Li Ge suddenly lowered his head, "What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly."
Helen hissed in a whisper.
Rico laughed and let go, "Jane! She says she can say anything!"
Hesta came to her senses.
Helen had been thrown back to the ground by Rico. She was still panting, vomiting, and crying. She calmed down for more than ten minutes before slowly recovering.
From the beginning to the end, Hesta did not say a word about what she wanted to ask, and Helen did not issue any more provocations. She stood up from the ground on her elbows, "District 15... Someone in District 15 sent an invitation to Rob, inviting him. ...Build the next Eden in the New World. This trip to... District 14 was originally a transition. Rob planned to build a transfer station deep in the snowfields of District 14, which would be called the Second Eden to the outside world. In fact... it is an audit place, and those who pass it can enter the fifteenth district with him."
"Has he been there already?" Hesta asked.
"I don't know, I guess... I've been there, otherwise he wouldn't be... so relieved," Helen whispered, "But I'm also... not sure."
"What do you mean by 'that lord'?"
Helen raised her head slightly and said, "Who is it?"
"It's always the adult in the core city."
"...I don't know," Helen whispered. "It's true that Rob will go to the core city every once in a while... This is true no matter which region he is in. I have accompanied him a few times, but not for the entire journey. Follow, I don’t know who the adult you are talking about is..."
Helen looked at Hesta.
"Go on." Hesta said softly.
"Rob's time for going to Core City is very fixed every time. He arrives in the afternoon and leaves in the early morning of the third day... He never stays too long in Core City, and... he never keeps company with others," Helen tried hard to recall, "Even if I met an acquaintance on the road - it was especially easy to meet an acquaintance in the third district. He would not chat for too long. He would leave as soon as he got off the train without asking about the other person or revealing his whereabouts.
"Well... the place where he lives in the core city is different every time. Even if it is the core city of the same region, the place where he lived this time... he will not go there again next time. He left those residences The address we got after the train was probably not pre-determined by our people... If there is an adult in the core city, it must be the place designated by this adult..."
Helen coughed a few times and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Hesta's expression was expressionless, "Go on."
"The few times I accompanied me, I stayed at my residence after entering the core city. After finally getting in, everyone wanted to look around... But no, we are all the same, we can't go anywhere. "Helen whispered, "Sometimes, Rob would stay at his residence for a whole day, only going out at night and coming back the next morning; sometimes he would go out several times a day, sometimes for a long time and sometimes for a short time... Gobelin was the only one accompanying him, and he didn't seem too worried about his safety in the core city..."
Helen glanced in Hesta's direction, but the other party didn't seem to think that this was enough.
"I couldn't come this time...because I'm not too young anymore," Helen lowered her gaze again, "but because they especially need sniper talents..."
"So you also participated in the trial," Hesta whispered, "What is the content of your trial?"
"It's no different from the previous missions, but it's a little more difficult, like finding two targets in the stadium and killing them within a limited range... There were a lot of accidents in the middle," Helen whispered, "Gobelin later told They need a group of people who can complete the task 100% for this trip, so they make an exception... take me with them, hehe, actually I also... don't particularly want to come..."
Helen began to talk about the details of the trial. Hesta did not interrupt, but she also did not give any feedback. After she finished talking about this part, Hesta said "continue" expressionlessly again.
Helen racked her brains, thinking about what else to say. After a long time, she lowered her head, "...I don't know what else I know. Can I-"
"Tell us how many rules Gobelin changed."
Helen's eyes moved slightly and she raised her head, "...I don't know."
"Then you are dishonest," Hesta whispered, "Rob Green took refuge in a safe place when he came up, but there is no such rule in the subsequent guardian manual——"
"Isn't that because Rob himself didn't read any rules?" Helen argued quickly, "The rules of conduct say that if you don't want to participate, you can contact the crew directly, so that you can get a special ship card... Goebbels Lin contacted me to be the guardian in order to provide double insurance for Rob Green, and as far as I know, Rob Green is not the only person who has done this."
