"She must have slept so late..."
"It doesn't matter whether Si Lei slept or not. No matter what the situation, there is always someone on duty in the intensive care unit." Hesta looked at Jacqueline, "We will take her to the doctor to see if we can get anything from the doctors." Pry something out.”
…
On the first deck, Tasia was slumped in a pool of blood, with corpses scattered around her. Splattered blood spots covered her arms and cheeks. She looked ahead numbly, and the blood flowed with the swaying of the ship, soaking in the blood. Wet her calves and fingertips.
As several crew members in biohazard suits walked towards the corner together, the last painful groans on the deck stopped abruptly.
They beheaded the last of these passengers and left by the exit directly holding its hair. The thick blood dripped down, blending in with the sound of raindrops outside the window.
"Go back." Putina looked at Tasia, "Take a shower and change clothes. Your companion will reunite with you in the restaurant."
Tasia did not raise her head, her lips trembled slightly, she stood up on the ground, then suddenly accelerated, lowering her head and rushing towards the wall.
However, before she could get two meters away, a crew member jumped her directly from the side. Tasia struggled almost crazily, and when someone grabbed her hands, she hit her head hard on the floor, but another hand held her forehead tightly, forcibly stopping her self-harming behavior.
Tasia, who had been hoarse for a long time, could no longer make a sound at this moment. There was only the last bit of animal-like gasping in her throat. Her tears had dried up and her eyes were bloodshot. In the chaos, she suddenly heard a voice.
"If you really don't want to live, just wait until you get off the ship and then seek death." The voice said, "There will be no dead women on this ship."
The wheelchair ran over the blood on the ground, making a unique friction sound. The person slowly approached, and Tasia finally saw her face clearly.
"I recognize you..." Tasia tried to speak, but there was only a little airflow and mouth movement left.
Anna's wheelchair stopped in front of Tasia. She raised her cane and moved aside a strand of hair stuck to Tasia's face.
"I recognize you too," Anna said softly, "Ms. Tasia Mendelov."
Among the headless corpses here, Anna looked calm. Their eyes met, and Tasia realized belatedly the real initiator of all this.
"It's you... these... are all you..."
"It's not bad to have come this far." Anna looked at her, "I met your father, and he claimed that you were his most proud work... I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that he was right. .”
Tasia spat at Anna.
"Executioner! Beast——"
"Relax, Tasia." Anna smiled, "No matter what, you survived, it's always good to survive. If we met anywhere other than this ship, things would be even worse than now. I It's strange, how can there be people like you in the world? Longing for a great life, but disdainful of power, neither knowing how to manipulate it nor caring whose hands it falls into, even if it is accidentally lifted to a high place by fate , as long as someone advises you to retire, as long as the disaster is over, you will immediately return to your original position obediently. Why? Does this prove that your personal morality is flawless? Prove that you are loyal to the group, or What else?
"Or, no matter who hands the scepter to, you will still be able to shine... huh?"
Tasia, still struggling to free herself from the restraints of several crew members, stared into Anna's eyes, filled with hatred.
Putina, who was not far away, sighed. She held her forehead and came to Anna's side. "...Why are you so interested today that you can talk endlessly when you catch someone?"
Ana raised her head, "Is there any?"
"At least, I've never seen you so talkative except when you're drinking."
The two laughed at the same time, and in the laughter, Tasia let out a sharp whistle, which was a whistle brought directly from the trachea. The last bit of strength disappeared, and Tasia fell to the ground, her breath twitching in confusion.
Putina immediately took out the breathing paper bag from the nearby locker. Two people supported Tasia's body, while Putina pressed the edge of the paper bag firmly against her cheek.
"...Hey, what's the point of bullying a little girl like this?" Putina turned back, "She can't stand it anymore."
"Are you looking down on her, Putina? She can bear it, and she can bear more." Anna lifted the cane and gently shook off the blood stained on it. "Didn't she let everyone follow her and leave the Bishop's restaurant?" Is that so? Hesta did what she couldn’t do even after being the arbiter for so many days.”
"But in her current state...should she also be sent to the medical cabin-"
"Find a rest room to let her calm down," Anna said with a smile, "and then return to Bishop's Restaurant."
"OK."
"This is the so-called destiny, Tasia," Anna looked at Tasia again, "Your destiny is to rescue the craziest in critical moments. I thought I wouldn't see such a scene again this time... But I still underestimated your dedication.”
…
Rico carried Jacqueline and went down with Hesta. They soon arrived at the special care ward. Rico looked back and forth, "No one is there?"
"There is no one in this area, that's normal," Hesta replied, "You have to ring the alarm bell in the ward so that the doctors and nurses will show up."
The two of them pushed open the door of Si Lei's ward and were stunned at the same time - Si Lei was tied up on the bed and his mouth was sealed. Li Ge immediately put down Jacqueline and stepped forward to untie Si Lei.
Hesta followed closely behind Rico and pulled the alarm bell.
"It's useless..." Si Lei, who had his hands untied, tore off the seal on his mouth, "There will be no one on duty here tonight."
"What's going on here?"
"Let's talk before we go out. Let's go to Bishop's Restaurant first-"
"We both just came down from the restaurant," Hestad replied. "There's no one up there anymore, except for Jacqueline."
Si Lei immediately opened his eyes wide, "Is there no one left?"
"The sleeping bag is still warm. When we went there, the group of people must have just left not long ago," Rico continued, "Who tied you up?"
"It's Anna!"
Hesta and Rico looked at each other—guessed.
Si Lei just stood up and immediately fell to her knees on the ground. Hesta immediately reached out to support her, "...what's wrong?"
"They injected me with some medicine..." Si Lei gritted his teeth, "I don't have much strength now."
"Ah... Then why don't you just take a good rest here." Rico blinked, "We came down originally to see if we could catch one or two crew members, but now -"
Si Lei interrupted Li Ge, "Anna is running away!"
