"Protect!? But you-"
"Go through this corridor, and at the end is the entrance to the stairwell," Putina interrupted Tasia's question in a calm tone, "You can go straight up two floors from here and you will return to Bishop's Restaurant."
Then, Putina squatted down, sighed softly, and held Meyer's arm with both hands.
"I just went to ask about your sister. She encountered something temporarily and can't go back tonight. You can go back with Tasia and wait, or you can go with me now to keep vigil for your sister... This way You can also take care of each other tomorrow morning."
Meyer's eyes suddenly brightened, "You mean-"
Tasia immediately held Meyer's shoulders, "Please tell me clearly first, what happened to Agnes?"
"I mean well." Putina looked up at Tasia, "The decision is up to you. I can't say much. I can only guarantee that Agnes is absolutely not in danger now - she will be with Si Lei tonight and tomorrow There is a high probability that he and Si Lei will come back to you."
Tasia's eyes trembled slightly, "Officer Si Lei...you mean, you mean she...is not dead?"
Putina nodded.
"I'll go with you!" Meyer grabbed Putina's hand, "I believe you!"
"Then can I also-"
"You can't." Putina smiled regretfully, "Meyer can go because she is a relative."
"Will they come back tomorrow?" Tasia asked with concern, "When will it be tomorrow?"
"It's hard to say, but it will definitely be tomorrow." Putina stood up again, holding Meyer's hand, "Then, I will take Ms. Meyer and leave first -"
"Wait!" Tasia still looked at Meyer with some worry, "Are you... sure you want to go with her? Since Egg will be back tomorrow..."
"I'm going." Meyer replied, "If Officer Si Lei is over there, it should be fine!"
Tasia could not give any more reasons to stop her. She looked at Putina again, trying to read more information from her eyes, but in the stalemate, she could not see anything...
Tasia lowered her head and sighed almost imperceptibly.
"Any other questions?" Putina asked.
Tasia spoke uneasily, "I hope you...will protect Meyer's safety."
"Ms. Tasia, please look at me."
Tasia looked up again.
"Whenever you feel in danger, just take the initiative to ask for help. Because both you and Ms. Meyer are safe, or you will always be safer than others." Putinna repeated again, "As long as you are still waiting On this ship, that doesn’t change.”
Tasia frowned.
She stood there and watched Putina and Meyer go away, with Putina's last words echoing in her heart. Although she didn't understand the reason, looking back at the deserted road in front of her, she suddenly felt that her worries had changed slightly. A little lighter.
She stayed alone for a while, then turned and walked towards the stairwell. When she was almost leaving this deck, she suddenly heard a weak electronic prompt coming from the left side. The sound was at least seven or eight meters away from her, but in this silent place, it seemed so abrupt.
"Who? Who's there?"
No one answered.
Tasia approached cautiously. After bypassing a large machine, she suddenly saw a pair of familiar feet on the edge of another machine behind.
"...Fayonce?" She quickly stepped forward and found Fayonce sitting alone in the white experience cabin. She could not see him above the waist, and no matter how much she called his name, Fayonce never answered.
So she tried to drag Fayonce's feet, but only then did she see two restraints strapping Fayonce tightly to the seat.
After a brief period of panic, Tasia ran around the fourth deck and finally found two telephones in an inconspicuous place. She picked up the receiver and repeatedly pressed the red emergency button. After a while, , and sure enough, a crew member arrived.
"Are you having any problems, ma'am?"
"My friend is trapped in that machine!" Tasia shouted. "He went to the banquet with me tonight. I originally wanted to send another friend back first and then go back to pick him up, but - —”
The crew member glanced in Fayance's direction, "Are you his guardian?"
“Not yet, but it could be.”
"Okay, let me take a look." The crew member stepped forward to confirm the permissions, and then performed a single operation, which dazzled Tasia - her fingers were clicking on the virtual screen so fast that it was almost an afterimage, and she was so skilled that she couldn't be seen. Humanity.
"You can take him away now, but for his safety I don't recommend it."
"What's the meaning……?"
"Like the last at-risk passenger, he had too much sense of resistance, so he suffered some... um, minor mental damage."
"The last risky passenger...you mean Philip?"
"That seems to be the name, right? I'm not sure." The crew member was still typing something quickly on the screen. "But don't worry, these injuries are reversible reactions. As long as you take a good rest afterwards, you can fully recover in as little as two months. It won’t leave any trace.”
"Restore... restore what?" Tasia took a few steps closer, "What are you doing to him?"
"Don't be nervous, it's really okay. This is not your responsibility in the first place -" the crew member looked at the information on the screen, frowned and muttered in a low voice, "It's strange, since he is not a risk passenger, why is he being taken away now?" Are you here?"
Tasia suddenly remembered that after parting ways with Philip at the last night party, Philip was frightened and went a little crazy. She originally thought it was just because Philip accidentally ran into a strange security check head-on, but now it seems that he may have eaten more. Big pain...
"Please tell me clearly!" Tasia's voice became louder, "What on earth are you doing!"
The sound startled the crew member. She trembled, stopped what she was doing, and looked back at her with a surprised and puzzled look.
"Uh...I, I can release him now, you...don't talk to me like this, I'm...scared."
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Tasia took a step forward, "Tell me, what are all the machines on this deck used for!?"
"It has many functions, such as backup, data debugging..."
"Backup?" Tasia was even more confused, "What backup?"
"We...we provide backup services for guardians...just, all guardians can use it for free," the crew member replied stutteringly, obviously frightened by Tasia's sudden anger, "Oh oh...I remember You, you have enjoyed our services on the second deck before!"
