After telling Tasia not to try to get close to Meyer again, the crew left. Tasia carefully observed the surroundings until she determined the positions of Gustav and Philip, then she sat alone in a secluded corner far away from the two of them.
She began to search for the passenger behavior rules that she had taken with her mobile phone. In the section on nighttime activity suggestions, she quickly saw some rules that were very suitable for the situation, such as "If you find yourself missing from your relatives or friends during nighttime activities, don't panic and continue to talk to them." Chat with the unfamiliar faces around you until everything returns to normal. Do not leave the event venue until everything returns to normal." "If you find that your fellow passengers have memory confusion, such as forgetting the time, names of relatives and friends, etc., please contact the doctor or return to the cabin to rest."
These contents all echoed what the crew member just said.
This rule also specifically mentions that if a passenger proposes to leave the venue together, the party concerned needs to confirm that the other party has a complete ship card and is not wearing sapphire earrings or scepter brooches.
When she read this article, Tasia raised her head unconsciously. She looked at Gustav and Philip who were drinking and laughing in the distance. They were wearing earrings and brooches respectively at the moment. The three shining pieces The brilliant sapphire looked even more dazzling in the lights of the night party - and she clearly remembered that when Philip came back the next day, the brooch he was wearing had disappeared.
Philip and Gustave in the distance suddenly looked towards her. They raised their wine glasses at the same time and toasted to Tasia from a distance.
It seemed that they had seen their position... Tasia felt a chill, but still waved her hand politely.
What would happen if they really asked themselves to leave here together later?
Tasia was deep in thought and suddenly felt someone sitting down next to her.
She looked sideways, "...Meyer?"
"I really don't know you," Meyer looked forward and whispered, "But I don't think you are a bad person?"
"Of course I'm not a bad person, I-"
"Don't get excited, what you did just now was too scary."
Tasia's throat moved, "Okay, then don't run around, we just sit here, okay?"
"Okay, I can't remember why I came here," Meyer frowned slightly, "But it doesn't matter, we can find some topics to talk about."
"...Okay, let's chat," Tasia also looked away and murmured in a low voice, "We'll keep chatting until the surroundings return to normal."
"Do you know what I'm doing here?" Meyer asked.
"You are here to see Agnes. She came here for a banquet tonight, but there was an impromptu security check. You were worried about her safety, so you came here to find her."
"But Iger is not here," Meyer whispered. "I have searched several times, but there is no Iger here."
Tasia looked at Meyer again - even though she had forgotten why she came here, the first thing she did after arriving here was to find Agnes.
"...Well, it's a bit strange. I didn't see her either."
"Is she in danger?"
"Probably... not." Tasia whispered, "Generally speaking, we are not in danger."
"Us?" Meyer looked at her.
"Female passengers." Tasia also looked at Meyer, "No matter what we do, this ship will not make it difficult for us."
"...Really? How do you know?"
"Guess." Tasia smiled, "We watched the "Passenger Code of Conduct" together at Bishop's Restaurant tonight. Do you remember it?"
Meyer narrowed his eyes in confusion: "Tonight?"
Tasia shook her head, "Anyway, there is a rule here that the guardian should wear the identification badge in a prominent place in front of the body, but I gave the brooch to others when I went to the banquet before, including tonight... I don't have anything tonight either. Even though I came without wearing it, nothing happened."
"But I'm still worried about her." Meyer whispered, "She rarely leaves me somewhere like this without saying a word..."
"Well... I think she must have her own considerations, maybe-"
"Ever since she came back from District 1, she has always had nightmares. Several times I felt the bed shaking in the middle of the night, and when I woke up I found she was crying..."
Meyer continued murmuring, and Tasia swallowed her comfort and listened intently.
"...I asked her what she was dreaming about, and she said she was dreaming about ghosts. I sometimes dream about these things, but it's fine when I wake up, and I won't be as scared as she is."
"Yeah." Tasia nodded.
"At first I held her hand and hugged her back... but it was of no use. She would still wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, and sometimes she would scream in fear. I was so angry, I felt like something dirty was haunting her. , so I put a dagger under my pillow."
"dagger?"
"I plan to keep vigil," Meyer said softly. "I and Iger told me that if another evil spirit comes tonight, I will stab its heart, liver and lungs."
Tasia was startled, and she looked at Meyer with a childish face in surprise - this reaction was beyond her expectation.
"Then what?" Tasia asked.
"Eige liked this method very much. She said she didn't need me to keep watch, and she could do it herself." Meyer said softly, "So she also prepared a short knife and put it under the pillow, and then...she really stopped having nightmares. .”
"……amazing."
Meyer's expression dimmed slightly again, "Everything was fine..."
"Originally...did you say it's not good anymore?"
"Yes," Meyer tilted his head slightly, "After getting on the ship, within a few days, she became ill again... But, why?"
"Is it possible that she is not feeling well while sailing?" Tasia thought for a while, "But it has been calm all this time... It feels like there is no difference between being on a ship and on land."
"I'm worried about Egg, she's still injured."
Tasia put her arm around Meyer's shoulders and hugged her gently, "...it will be fine."
Meyer raised his head, "Will you?"
"Yes," Tasia whispered. "There is very little you can do on the ship. When you get off the ship, I can help you make an appointment with a doctor. Maybe you need to make an appointment with a psychiatrist to find out why Agnes keeps having nightmares." ——I know several very good psychiatrists, and they definitely know what to do.”
"Okay." Meyer leaned on Tasia's shoulder, "But where is Egg now?"
Tasia thought for a moment, "I don't know... maybe she just showed up at the banquet and then left?"
"Then we can leave here too." Meyer murmured softly, "There is no Egg here, I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Maybe." Tasia looked around and quickly found a figure in a crew uniform among the crowd, "Shall we go and ask?"
