Why it never ends

Chapter 17 Brothers
At 4:08, Hesta left the office building where Valenti was located, and walked along a corridor on the third floor to the elective classroom.

She had the feeling that someone had been following her, a person who had been following her from afar since she left Valenti's office.Relying on the glass windows at several corners, she caught a glimpse of the man's shadow.

a man.

She glanced at the surrounding furnishings, and there was a manual fire alarm about a dozen steps away, which also happened to be a monitoring area.

Hesta strode up, she quickly smashed the shell glass, and pressed the red button.A few seconds later, a sharp siren sounded throughout the building, the originally bright lights in the corridor were instantly extinguished, and red flashing arrows appeared on the ground and walls, pointing to the nearest escape exit.

It was raining in the corridor, which was the automatic fire extinguishing device in the building, and they were triggered together with the fire alarm.

"Good guy... what have you done?"

As a series of swift footsteps approached, Hesta heard a male voice.The voice was a little green, and she turned around with puzzlement - the person who had been following behind her really appeared.

He was wearing a large black sweater, with his hands in his waist pockets, half of his face was hidden under the black hood, with only a little outline of his cheeks showing, "Why do you—"

"do not move!"

The muscles of Hesta's whole body tensed up. She clenched her fists and bowed slightly. The flames of hatred and vigilance were burning in her eyes, like a young she-wolf, she put on a defensive posture.

Hearing that, the man actually stopped in his tracks. He slowly raised his hands above his head, and took a step or two back.

In the flashing alarm lights, he slowly pushed back his hat, the light rain from the fire extinguishing device reflected the chaotic red light, and also dyed his short pure white hair with a layer of neon-like luster.

The man appeared to be a small boy, maybe fourteen or fifteen, maybe younger.His hair should be dyed, because the roots of the hair show a completely different dark black from the ends, and under his light eyebrows, there are a pair of golden eyes. Even on this occasion, he still looks a little lazy. .

"Oh, I see..." He smiled, "Because you found me, so you pressed the alarm."

After confirming that the camera had captured the person's face, Hesta quietly adjusted her center of gravity—as long as the person made a slight movement, she would immediately turn around and run away.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend," the young man still kept raising his hands, "I read your information, and I know that you just came yesterday and live in No. 403 upstairs...I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Passing by Miss Viking's office, I saw you—"

"Who are you?" Hesta interrupted him mercilessly.

"Me?" The boy's voice was a bit thin amidst the harsh sirens, "My name is Sean Gringoire."

"Why are you following me?"

The boy laughed. He lowered his hands and clasped them behind his head, "How should I put it, Miss Hesta...Maybe it's because the first time I saw you, I thought you were very familiar."

Hesta frowned slightly.

Sean looked at her: "You didn't fill in the questionnaire that Miss Viking gave you just now, did you?"

Hesta didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help sinking slightly.

Sean saw the answer.

He smiled, and continued: "It's nothing, I don't have it, and I have never had it. But since last year, I found that they added a lie detection part to the scale...Of course, I have figured out which The questions are going to be used in a polygraph, if you want to know, I can share with you—"

"No need," Hesta said in a low and indifferent voice, "please leave."

"Okay." Sean took two steps back, gesturing to leave. Just as Hesta felt relieved, he stopped and looked behind Hesta.

"...Carl?"

Following Sean's soft call, a tall man slowly walked out from the shadow behind Hesta.

For a moment, Hesta's heart almost stopped suddenly, and at the moment when her eyes met, she felt a force that was almost crushing - she hadn't felt that there was another person around her.

The man's height almost touched the ceiling of the corridor. Even in a relaxed state, the man's arms hanging by his side were still strong. Hesta could even clearly see several vertical and horizontal bulges on his forearm. blue veins.

The man's eyes only stayed on Hesta briefly, and then walked straight towards Sean.

During this brief passing, Hesta felt a heavy pressure again, and she tried her best to barely support her knees, so as not to let the whole person fall down.

"Are you following me again?" Sean asked.

"Let me see if you are asking for trouble again." The man stretched out his hand, grabbed Sean by the collar and lifted him up from the ground, "Sean, shall we go back?"

Although it was in a consulting tone, the man obviously didn't give Sean any other choice. Sean danced and danced in the air, and could only let him slip and slowly disappear at the end of the corridor.

So, Hesta was the only one left in the long corridor.

Soon, several faculty members rushed over here, carrying fire blankets and wearing goggles, Liz spotted Hesta standing against the wall almost immediately, "Jane!"

Hesta raised his head, his face was almost bloodless.

Liz hurried forward to hold her hand, but felt it was cold, and Hesta seemed to be trembling slightly, as if frightened.

Several other people saw the shattered siren casing on the ground, "Did you trigger the fire alarm?"

"Hmm." Hesta whispered.

Several people became nervous: "Where is the fire?"

"There is no fire..." Hesta replied, "I found out that someone was following me, so... the alarm was triggered..."

Everyone glanced at each other, and each was slightly relieved—it seemed that the danger of fire could be lifted temporarily.

Liz put the fire blanket on Hesta's body, "Are you all right, can you go?"

Hesta was still gritting her teeth, but she shook her head, "...it's okay."

"Don't be afraid, don't worry..." Liz held Hesta's shoulder, "Have you seen who it is?"

Hesta's throat moved slightly, remembering the scene where the second person walked out of the shadow just now, she couldn't help shivering again.

"He said his name was Sean Gringoire."

Liz's expression suddenly became complicated.

Of course she knows about Xiao En. Although she doesn't have much contact with this person, his strong narcissism and self-beautification tendencies make him like a walking narcissus. Whether it is necessary or not, his various lies are always at hand. , and has always been a headache for Miss Viking, Liz has heard about it for a long time.

"Come on, let's get out of here first," Liz said softly. She looked at Hesta's clothes that were soaked by the fire extinguisher. "Let's change your clothes first, and be careful not to catch a cold."
