Why it never ends

Chapter 80
At 2:36 in the afternoon, Valenti ran out of breath to the underground parking lot, and she saw Hesta was waiting alone at the exit.

"Jane!" Valenti called out from a distance, waving at Hesta, "Come here."

Hesta trotted to Valenti's side.

Valenti squatted down, "How long have you been waiting here?"

"I arrived at 1:50," Hesta replied, "Miss Chiba asked me to meet here at two o'clock and said she would take me out."

Valenti let out a long sigh, and took Hesta's hand, "Sorry, I'm late... I kept you waiting for so long, Qianye has something to do in the afternoon, she sent me a message and asked me to come over I'll take you back, but I'm in a meeting this afternoon and haven't looked at my phone..."

Hesta took out his mobile phone with some doubts and looked - there were no missed calls or unread messages.

"But Miss Chiba didn't contact me."

"She is like this." Valenti showed a helpless smile, "I have notified the matter once, so I won't say more... You have nothing else to do this afternoon, right?"

Hesta nodded.

"Then come with me to the library, I just have to organize some papers... do me a favor, okay?"

"Ah."

Hesta agreed, and started walking back with Valenti.After a few steps, she turned around to look around the parking lot again.

There is indeed no sign of Miss Chiba here.

She missed the appointment?Why?
"Miss Chiba seems to be very busy recently?" Hesta asked suddenly.

"Yeah, it's not easy for her to find time to go back to Tan Yi. During this time, she ran a lot of press conferences and attended a lot of meetings..." Valenti paused, "The nature of the job is such that there is no Method."

"How long will she stay in Tan Yi this time?"

Valenti looked up and thought for a moment.

"Three days... right?"

Hesta sighed softly. If she misses today, she won't be able to wait for the weekend—she will also have heavy training tasks in the following week.

Valenti smiled, "Do you miss her very much?"

"Ah."

"Then you can write her an email and tell her what you have seen and heard in the base recently." Valenti said softly, "She should be very happy to receive it."

……

For the next few days, Chiba did not show up at the base.

At dusk on the third day, she sat alone on the bell tower on top of the church in the old city overlooking the whole city in the setting sun. Flocks of pigeons flitted over the city like a gust of invisible wind.

Chiba was sitting on the long neck of a gargoyle on the top of the church. She was leaving by boat in two hours, and she was killing the time in her own way.

The street lights of the Yiliving Street were turned on one after another, and people left the office area, took to the street, and flocked to the pubs and restaurants. Qianye couldn't hear the sound below, and no one looked up from below.

There was a whistling wind from above, and the hem of her clothes fluttered like a flag.

Suddenly, Qianye heard some small sounds, she looked sideways, and saw Valenti tremblingly walking towards her side on the temporary steel suspension bridge not far away.

Due to years of disrepair, the narrow wooden ladder that originally led to the top of the bell tower has long since broken. This steel plate is used by roof repair workers to send down empty stone buckets, so it is only about a palm wide.

Valenti stepped on the steel-reinforced single-plank bridge and approached slowly. Below her feet was a height of nearly [-] meters.

Chiba held her breath almost immediately, and her back was bent like a drawn bowstring - she was always ready to catch Valenti who was kicked in the air.

But everything was safe and sound, and Valenti finally walked to the hanging corridor on the top of the bell tower safely. Seeing that she still wanted to go out, to the gargoyle where Chiba was, Chiba immediately stood up body.

"Don't move!" She quickly jumped onto the hanging corridor, turned over and jumped into the iron fence, "...Are you crazy? How dangerous was it just now!"

Valenti laughed out loud, but proudly raised her hips towards Chiba.

The setting sun in the distant sky was gradually fading, and the sunlight was like a river of gold. Chiba and Valenti stood together behind the iron fence engraved with angels and irises. Chiba frowned, "How do you know I'm here?"

"My guess."

Under the setting sun, Valenti sat on the ground, her face was reflected by the shadow of the fence, and she looked up at Chiba.

"Do you still remember that when the base was rebuilt, we came to the old campus here for half a year to take classes. At that time, you really liked to sneak here alone."

Qianye single eyebrow raised slightly, "Really?"

"It just so happened that I came to the city to deliver documents today. When I passed by here, I just thought, will you stay here now?"

Qianye snorted softly, and she looked at the half-set sun, "The scenery here is beautiful."

"Indeed." Valenti looked in the same direction as Chiba, "From here, the whole old city is more beautiful."

"What documents are you sending, and you have to make a special trip to the city?"

"Analysis of Sean's behavior, you know, my supervisor has been working here."

"Oh." Qianye was indeed impressed, "What did you analyze?"

"It's very interesting," Valenti said with a smile, "We feel that Sean is going through a period of change. For example, yesterday, he wrote the first email to Mr. Weir, and in the email he applied for the purchase of a bunch of electronic components, what kind of sensor? ……some type of."

"Huh?" Qianye was quite vigilant, "What does he want to do?"

"He may be trying to solve some practical problems in daily life - he got his hand stuck in a microwave in the cafeteria a while ago."

As soon as Valenti mentioned "stuck hands", Chiba understood the specific reason. She stretched out her five fingers to the sky, "It was really difficult in the first half year of installing the prosthetic body, just get used to it. These hands can do There are far more things to see than flesh and blood. However, on Xiao En... this is not necessarily a good thing."

"I understand, for now, so he wants to try to modify the electrical appliances around him, such as refrigerators and ovens. As long as he can remotely control the opening and closing of the door, he no longer has to worry about being stuck by something. We will follow up Follow up." Valenti smiled and said, "However, I don't think Sean will trouble Jane in the future."

"Really, why?"

"One thing I've been trying to figure out before is why he suddenly stared at Jane." Valenti said softly, "Although Sean has been doing some bad things secretly, he is not an impulsive and reckless person. On the contrary, after entering the base with Calvin, he was very cautious, and he was very cautious in everything - Sean would try his best to avoid all things that would be punished on the surface.

"However, Jane is a living person. She is not a program that can be deleted and adjusted at will. It is difficult to completely control a living person. Since Sean wants to trouble Jane, he must understand that whenever Jane He will speak up, ask for help, and the base will immediately discover his bullying behavior and punish him.

"But even so, he still enjoys it, so that can only explain one point,"

Valenti looked at the dark blue sky in the distance.

"For Sean at the time, the pleasure of intimidating and teasing Jane far outweighed his fear of punishment from the base."
