Looking around, Hestad saw many "big guys". The gray-white canvas covered them all, leaving only their square outlines.
Little Qianye didn't stay on this level for too long, so he continued going down. When going down the stairs, Chiba will happily tell some anecdotes about what she saw on the ship recently. She smiles brightly, and her short hair flips up and down as she runs, and whenever her eyes glance across the camera, Hesta always You can feel the obvious smile.
Looking at Miss Chiba running in the camera, Hesta was distracted for a moment. Even though Miss Chiba was so young at this moment, some of her expressions were almost exactly the same as now, but in contrast, other expressions seemed to have completely changed from her body. Disappeared, at least in all these years, Hesta had never seen it.
The battery level in the upper left corner dropped from 2% to 1%, and the video progress bar was not even halfway through at this moment.
Hesta sighed softly and started to move at 32 times speed again.
Little Chiba conscientiously introduced the layout of the entire ship to the camera. She ignored every corridor, every viewing window, and every business activity room. Hesta suddenly remembered that Si Lei had mentioned that Anna knew everything about the Shengming, but Anna claimed that she had never been on this ship before.
So, that's probably...not a lie.
Thoughts were racing in Hesta's mind, and the video was coming to an end.
Chiba came to the Hard Rock Bar on the second floor alone. The bar in the picture was almost the same as it is today. It was not the bar's business hours in the afternoon, and there were almost no customers inside. Judging from the progress bar, this should be the end of this video.
"alright!"
The camera was placed on the bar, and Chiba jumped up on the bar stool. She sat on the chair and spun around, saying hello to the bartender off-screen. She was obviously very familiar with this place.
"Let me introduce you to Angelette, the bartender here!"
An older woman enters the scene. She has gray hair and is wearing a uniform similar to that of Putina. The texture and pattern of the uniform seem to have been slightly adjusted, but overall there is not much change.
Angelette looked like she was from District 6. She had a very thick accent and greeted the camera in the language of District 3. Chiba chatted with her for a few words in the language of District 1, and then the bartender smiled at the camera and left.
Chiba looked at the camera again.
"When the ship enters the waters of District 3, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I will hide, but if you get on the ship and want to see me, you can come here and order a glass of wine... That's when we first met Do you still remember the glass of wine you ordered? Ava was there at the time... I hope you haven't forgotten."
Chiba was silent for a while, and then brought the camera closer.
"If you forget, there's nothing you can do about it... As long as you get on the ship, I will come to you, at a time that I think is appropriate and safe... Alecto's sailing route is very long, so there is no need to rush. Well, of course I will come to you, but it will have to wait until I leave the sea in the third area at the soonest... But you won’t forget it! How could you forget it?”
Chiba frowned and put her face pitifully on the table. She lay on her back and pulled the camera in front of her. Only her eyes were left in the whole picture. She stared at the camera and stared outside the screen to finally see this video. That person.
"Will you come, Anna?"
"I'll wait for you here."
"Don't keep me waiting too long, okay?"
"Anna..."
With the last murmur, the entire screen fell into black, the red power alarm screen lit up, and the entire screen fell into darkness.
Hesta's mind went blank. The veins on her forehead and the heart in her chest were beating rapidly, and her brain was completely shut down. She belatedly took out the chip from the card slot and put it back into the small wooden box. Then she pulled out the earphones and wound the wire mechanically with her fingers, but her mind was filled with the last scene of the video and Miss Chiba's murmur.
What is the relationship between Miss Chiba and Anna... Why does this video look like two people are about to elope... There must be a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding... And just now, Miss Chiba seemed to have mentioned Ava, Anna also mentioned her when chatting before - did they know each other so early?
In the midst of his complicated thoughts, Hesta held the box and suddenly felt a strong guilt that he had done something wrong.
But what should I do? I’ve finished watching it all now…
"Hesta!" Chiba's voice suddenly came from above, and Hesta was startled, "Are you down there?"
"...I'm here, Miss Chiba." Hesta's voice was like a mosquito.
Chiba personally went down the well and tied the safety rope around Hesta's waist and arms. Hesta remained silent and cooperated quietly throughout the process.
After the people were dragged up, Qianye took away the wooden box.
Hesta gritted her teeth and stared into Chiba's eyes. Although she was a little afraid of making eye contact with Chiba at this time, she was even more afraid of being seen.
Fortunately, Qianye's eyes kept flickering, but he didn't look at her much.
"Where's the key?" Chiba stretched out his hand.
"...What key?"
"That golden key." Qianye's voice was calm, "The golden key you took from the museum before, the golden key used to open this wooden box."
"I didn't bring it with me." Hesta looked at the wooden box with some confusion, and then at Chiba, "Oh, so that key is used to open this wooden box!"
"Forget it." Qianye looked away again, "Go back and don't come out again tonight, do you hear me?"
"Oh, okay." Hesta blinked, "Where's Rico?"
Chiba sneered, "She is waiting for you in the room."
…
"This is the fourth floor, Ms. Tasia."
Tasia stepped out of the elevator car cautiously. She was not sure whether what she saw before her eyes was real, but it was filled with pure white machines, very much like the experience cabin she saw on the second deck that night.
"There are so many things..." Tasia couldn't help but say, "Officer Si Lei said before that when she came, the fourth deck was empty."
"She came during the day and this place is only open at night."
"Are all the white machines you see?" Tasia pointed to a white experience cabin not far away, "One may be two meters high and four meters wide -"
"Yes, don't worry, there will be no more hallucinations here, you can trust your eyes."
"Do you know that you will hallucinate if you stay up there!?" Tasia was startled, "What's going on?"
"It's some simple defensive measures," Putina smiled, "mainly to protect our guests."
