"What's there to see..."
"But she said she must see you."
Anna closed her eyes, "...as she pleases."
…
On the second deck, after Putinna left some information, her remaining body was like a power-off machine, completely no longer working. Si Lei stepped forward to check repeatedly. She held Putinna's disassembled palm and still couldn't believe that these parts scattered on the ground were part of a "living person" just a few minutes ago.
"Officer Si Lei..." Gustav pulled Si Lei's sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
Gustav pointed in front, and Si Lei raised his head - the "intact" Gustav did not leave. Gustav, who was covered in scars, yelled at the other person and tried to drive him away. However, The dummy stood there with an innocent and worried expression, looking pitiful... This posture made him look like Gustave himself.
"How to deal with this?" Rico pointed at the person brought by Putina, "Has it been demolished too?"
"What the hell is going on with these people..."
"They're clones! They're dummies! They're not real!" Gustave screamed, "Tear them down! Tear them down!"
"clone?"
"The night I went to attend the night banquet, Helen took me to a place, saying that I was going to have a physical examination... But that place was very similar to the place where we woke up after every trial... They must have done something!"
Hesta looked sideways for a moment, "Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
"Helen won't let me mention it to anyone. I...I simply-"
Before Gustav finished speaking, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Not far away, Gustav suddenly raised his hand and dug into his right eye. Blood and tissue fluid immediately spattered out, but the injured person He seemed to be unaware of the Pain. His expression calmed down and he put down his hands, still staring at Si Lei with pleading eyes, like a puppy begging for shelter.
"He's imitating me! He's imitating me!" Gustav screamed in panic, "Officer Si Lei!"
"...It's useless," Si Lei looked at the man, "Leave here immediately. If you show up in front of us again, we won't be polite."
The boy opposite looked at Si Lei deeply, his eyes full of sadness and despair. This look made Si Lei stunned, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Then, he took a few steps back and blended into the dark background again.
Rico waved his hand in front of Si Lei's eyes, "Have you seen chelates, officer?"
Si Lei came back to his senses, "...I've seen images, but never encountered them. What's wrong?"
"Then you have to be careful," Rico smiled, "Chelate is the best at pretending to be pitiful... just like he did just now."
"Will he come back again!?" Gustave asked immediately, "When he comes back again, Ms. Rico, can you catch him immediately!?"
"Who knows, it depends on the situation." Rico replied, "You really have the foresight to follow us and not to be alone."
Gustave wanted to say something, but in the end he could only smile wryly.
"Jane," Si Lei looked at Hesta, "Where is Anna?"
Hesta turned her head, "...what?"
"Did Putina just tell you where Anna is now?"
Hesta scratched her head a few times, "I haven't decided whether to go or not..."
"What are you going to do now?" Li Ge said. "Be careful, she will kidnap you directly."
"Let's go first." Hesta whispered.
Along the way, Gustav walked tremblingly. He often saw his injured self in a casual glance. Every time he saw it, there were more wounds on the other person's face and body - exactly the same as his own. , however, when he screamed for help from Li Ge or Si Lei, the figure hidden in the dark disappeared.
He couldn't see or find him, but he knew clearly that the other party was always following him... Every nerve in Gustave was tense. He held Si Lei's hand tightly and begged her not to let go under any circumstances. Apart from answering well, Si Lei had no other way to comfort the person in front of him.
Rico looked at this scene and whispered to Hesta beside him, "Anna has too many damaging moves..."
"I have to go back to deck seven," Hestad said suddenly.
"ah?"
"It's the Navigation Museum." Hesta whispered, "Anna is over there."
"You're crazy!"
"If I haven't come back in half an hour, you go find Miss Chiba."
"Why are you--"
"I just suddenly thought that if you can copy Gustav, can't you copy other people," Hesta said in a low voice, "The smell of blood that was as strong as one deck just now... maybe there is nothing on this ship right now. There are only a few living people.”
"You mean..." Li Ge also realized something, "I'll go with you."
"You stay here." Hesta glanced at Gustav, "If we can save his life, maybe we can make Anna suffer bad luck."
…
Coming to this navigation museum for the second time tonight, Hestad felt a little mixed. On the way up in the elevator, the image of the young Chiba in the camera flashed repeatedly in her mind.
Is the content of the camera real? Hesta couldn't explain clearly. She just felt that it didn't look fake. After all, Miss Chiba's reaction at that time was really... a little abnormal.
"Anna."
She whispered the name, took out the flashlight she had just brought from Rico from her pocket, and the orange-yellow beam of light shone directly on the back of Anna's head.
"Turn off the light..." Anna turned her face sideways and "did her eyes."
Hesta laughed and leaned the flashlight on the booth nearby. This beam of light hit the ceiling, slightly illuminating the originally dark exhibition hall.
"What do you want to see me for suddenly?" Anna asked.
"Don't you want to see me?" Hesta replied, "You even asked Putina to deliver the message."
Ana was silent for a moment, "...Okay, I understand."
"What do you unserstand?"
"I don't want to see you, and you don't want to see me," Anna turned the wheelchair and faced Hesta, "but neither Putina nor Zero wanted me to stay here for too long, so they joined forces and found someone to come over. It ruins my scenery..."
"You mean zero? Hasn't she already -" Hesta frowned slightly, "...oh."
Anna smiled and said, "It seems that you understand a lot of things."
"Your methods are very impressive," Hesta said softly, "I'm afraid some chelates will only be defeated if they see it."
"Thank you. After all, aren't chelates humans too? We can break through the limits of human evil," Anna smiled. "I just stood on the shoulders of some predecessors..."
"You mean Robbeglier?"
