As he said that, the man took out a mobile phone from his pocket and said, "...It seems that your situation is much better than expected. Is no one injured or disabled?"
"Yes, not all of our members are here," Bree replied immediately. "The wounded have not come up yet, but they should arrive soon."
"Where are the wounded?"
"The medical room down there."
"Okay, our people will go over and take a look now." The man turned around and winked at his companion. The other two people immediately understood and began to walk out.
"Do you need to lead the way——"
"No!" the man replied immediately, "You all stay here first and don't move."
He looked around and reorganized his words in his mind. If someone wanted to question this next, he would have every reason to respond.
However, at this moment, the passengers in Bishop's restaurant were all quiet and cooperative. Everyone stayed in their respective positions, and no one raised any objection.
…
On the second deck, Hesta and others moved slowly.
It was dark all around, and all the facilities in the venue were deserted. The footsteps of a few people echoed in the corridors.
Rico looked around: "It seems there is no one here."
"Tasia said before that this afternoon was full of passengers she didn't know," Si Lei whispered, "I don't know what happened..."
"I have also seen unknown passengers," Hesta suddenly remembered, and she looked at Rico, "Do you remember, once I saw someone drinking and sunbathing on the deck below."
"...I can't remember clearly, when did it happen?"
"That's it-" Before Hesta could finish her words, Gustav suddenly grabbed her clothes tightly, and everyone stopped at this moment. About twenty meters ahead, two people were standing quietly in the middle of the corridor, standing in the darkness, leaving only two vague outlines, one tall and one short.
"...Putina?" Hesta said uncertainly.
"Yes, we meet again, haha."
"Why are you standing there so scary?" Hesta gently touched Rico, the crew member they were looking for, and appeared.
Li Ge slightly bent his knees and put Si Lei down.
"Don't get me wrong, I have no hostility," Putina waved her hands repeatedly, "I just want to change with you."
"...Substitution?"
"Yes, you brought the wrong person."
With that said, Putina led the figure beside her and walked forward. With a little faint light, Hestad and others slowly saw the face of the short man clearly - that was almost Gustav himself.
Hesta and Rico didn't move, but Si Lei was astonished beyond measure. Her eyes kept switching between Gustave in the distance and Gustav nearby - she couldn't distinguish between this one and that one for the moment. There are obvious flaws, as if the two Gustavs are slices of the same person in different time and space, there is no such thing as true or false...
"What kind of bad taste is this?" Hesta said softly, "Is Anna crazy?"
"The Gustav you have is a little damaged," Putina patted the boy next to her on the shoulder, "I'll give you a new one... As for the damaged one, just leave it to me?"
"Impossible!" Si Lei immediately raised his gun.
"I'm not hostile, officer, you should know this. When I tied you back to the hospital bed just now, I could have injected you with a higher dose of sedatives, but for the sake of your health, I still maintained restraint," Putina Raising his hands, "There are no bullets in your gun, I know, but I still won't attack you... Well, what do you two say?"
Putina's eyes turned to Hesta and Rico.
"Can't change!" Si Lei shouted loudly.
Rico and Hesta looked at each other and slowly raised their hands.
"Li Ge?" Si Lei looked at the two of them in disbelief, "Jian!?"
"I already said it when he came here before," Li Ge said with a calm expression, "He can follow us if he wants to, but if we have a few injured and disabled people, we won't be able to protect him if something unexpected happens. …I’m sorry, Gustave, the situation has changed and we are very passive tonight.”
Gustave glanced behind him desperately - the empty and dark corridor was like another trap, waiting for him to fall into the trap. However, not far away, Putinna was approaching her step by step.
Hesta and Rico still maintained a posture of surrender. When Putina was only five or six steps away, they even took a step back to both sides of the corridor to make room in the passage.
"Don't come over!" Si Lei scolded, "I won't let you take anyone away tonight."
Putina's mouth sank regretfully, "I'm sorry, I -"
The sound stopped suddenly, followed by a loud noise. Rico suddenly attacked from behind Putinna. She grabbed Putinna's neck with one hand and pushed her hard to the ground. Half of Putinna's head immediately collapsed. On the floor, Rico repeated his old trick and directly broke Putina's lower limbs.
"Okay, now we can talk," Rico unloaded Putina's arms with ease, "Where are you meeting tonight?"
"On the deck where the night banquet is held."
"Huh? Why are you running so high?"
Putina smiled, "Because...some reasons."
Only then did Si Lei react. However, looking at the bloodless stumps on the ground, she fell into surprise again.
"Where is Anna?" Rico asked again.
"Oh, I can't tell you this... I can't tell you." Putina reluctantly turned her gaze to Hesta, "But if you want to know, I can tell you the location, but I can only tell you one person. "
Hesta frowned, and she stepped forward slowly.
"You mean, Ana wants to see me?"
…
"Ms. Chiba has already connected with the people from the rescue ship. Considering that the current wind and waves on the sea are rapidly weakening, the current plan is to observe for half an hour first, and then transfer Boshanfu first, and then transport the passengers in the restaurant .”
"Um."
"Two minutes ago, two four-person teams boarded the ship from the bow and stern. They are currently gathering on the first deck and are on standby. They have been using various devices to contact Bernhard - but we have not contacted Bernhard. and its soldiers to copy, so..."
"Don't worry about them." Anna whispered, "Has everyone entered the banquet level?"
"Yes." Zero replied, "Putina's copy was violently dismantled by Rico... Do you still want to stay in this museum?"
"Um."
"How long?"
"In a moment." Anna replied softly.
"There is a possibility of being broken into at any time, please be aware of this."
Anna still sat there, neither conciliating nor denying.
After a moment of silence, Zero spoke again, "Hesta wants to see you now. Do you want to meet?"
