Li Ge shrugged noncommittally and patted his thighs with both hands, "Okay, then you can look at it...I'll see what inspiration you can see."
"Riko..."
Before Hesta could finish speaking, he heard footsteps coming from afar. The two of them looked at the sound at the same time. Four crew members were walking through the darkness and walking diagonally in front of them.
Rico looked at several people warily.
"Ms. Rico, Ms. Hesta, good evening." The leader of the crew stepped forward with a smile and said, "The museum is not open at this time."
"We know," Rico replied, "the door is locked, I saw it."
The leader of the crew was stunned for a moment, "Uh... I want to say that you and Ms. Hesta should not be here at this time."
"Why?"
"Because...because it's not opening hours?"
"We don't touch anything here," Rico looked at her, "We just want to see the bow of the ship -"
"Anyway, please leave here now." The crew member looked at her seriously, "You can come back after eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
Just as Rico was about to say something, he suddenly heard Hesta behind him speaking in a low voice:
"Are you all still there tomorrow morning?"
Several crew members, including Rico, turned to look at Hesta.
The crew member laughed a few times and said, "What do you mean..."
"Your night watch tonight will end early at three o'clock in the morning." Hesta stared at the expressions of the crew members. "Since it is difficult to contact you after three o'clock, what's the point of waiting until eight o'clock? Woolen cloth."
"Where did you hear that our work tonight will end early... There is no such thing."
Rico's eyes suddenly became meaningful.
"Then I heard wrong." Hesta also smiled slightly and looked away, "No matter what work you have to do, I won't disturb you, just let me stay here quietly for a while, okay? "
"No," the crew member explained, "the daily routine disinfection will begin here soon. For your safety, it's better for you to leave immediately."
"We won't leave," Rico whispered. "If you want to drive them away by force, then just let them come."
"This..." The crew member was a little embarrassed, "Why is it like this? You and Ms. Hesta are both our important guests. We are doing this purely out of consideration for your safety - well, let's do this. If you insist... It’s not unreasonable to stay here for a while, how long do you want to stay?”
"Half an hour," Hesta replied.
"Okay, then half an hour, okay, just as you just said, don't touch anything, just stay here quietly for a while," the crew member looked at her, "We will also wait for you here, half an hour After that, we will take you out personally.”
Hesta did not answer, but just smiled, seeming to acquiesce.
Rico sat down next to Hesta, and several crew members dispersed and gradually disappeared from their sight.
Hesta stared quietly at the broken statue on the ground, thinking about something.
"simple."
"Um?"
"Although your explanation just now makes no sense at all, it seems that you really picked the right place tonight..." Li Ge whispered, "They haven't gone far, they are lurking to guard us."
"I know." Hesta said softly, "I'm just thinking about what to do next. Do you have any ideas?"
"They just emphasized not to touch anything..."
"You also think you have to touch something, don't you?"
The two people's eyes met, and Hesta whispered a few words in Rico's ear. Rico immediately started to argue, but in the end she frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Rico slowly stood up.
A crew member hiding in the dark took a step forward almost at the same time, casting a stern look at Rico.
Rico twisted his hips, opened his hands, closed his eyes and stretched, then walked behind Hesta, pushed her wheelchair, and slowly circled around the statue of Alecto.
However, such a look around did not bring any new clues. The two quickly returned to their original positions. Rico also leaned over Hesta, as if he was about to sit down as before. Several crew members felt slightly relieved. Tone——
At this moment, Rico sprinted towards the statue of Alecto like an athlete taking off. The crew lurking in the dark ran towards her at almost the same moment. However, it was too late. Rico had already kicked Kicked away the fragmented image of Alecto that had been pieced together.
The stones rolled down, and a locked wooden box fell out of its hollow chest. Rico's quick eyesight and quick hands almost grasped it in his hand.
The speed of the three crew members increased in an instant. One of them grabbed Li Ge's left hand. With a little force, Li Ge was knocked to the ground.
One crew member shouted: "Be careful! She has not entered bullet time!"
The crew member who was holding Rico loosened his grip after realizing it, and the speed of the other two people immediately returned to normal. One of them stepped forward to assist in the arrest, and the other cautiously blocked the direction in which Rico might escape two steps away. .
"Jane!! Pick it up!!"
Rico suddenly threw the wooden box in his hand towards Hesta, which surprised the three crew members who were surrounding her. Hesta had broken both legs in the explosion last night and could not even stand alone. No, it will have no effect at all in this situation!
The only crew member lurking behind Hesta immediately jumped up, trying to intercept the wooden box in the air. However, at this moment, Hesta jumped up from the wheelchair and took the thing thrown by Rico into his arms. .
"What--"
The sailor who had missed immediately turned around, and Hesta was already holding the wooden box and running in the opposite direction - her legs were obviously still bandaged, but her running speed was about the same as ordinary people, or even faster than ordinary people. Some.
"Look what she's doing! Look at me!"
Rico suddenly became violent again, and the edges of her eyes were filled with the luster of mercury. She used several crew members to restrain her body, and effortlessly broke their arms in reverse - as expected, even after suffering such a Seriously injured, there was not much expression of pain on the faces of these people.
Hesta in the distance suddenly stopped, and the crew members chasing her also stopped immediately.
Hesta turned around, "You are not ordinary people...are you also mercury needles?"
At this moment, the crew saw Hesta's eyes shining with silver rims - no wonder she was suddenly able to walk, she entered bullet time.
"Stop struggling. Even if you enter bullet time, you can't fight." The crew member bowed slightly and made a gesture to prepare for an attack. "You have been surrounded -"
"Who is surrounded by whom?"
Rico's voice came from behind. The crew turned around in disbelief and found that their other three companions had fallen next to Alecto's broken pieces. Their hands and feet had been severely injured to varying degrees, and they were unable to do anything. Get up.
