Do not sleep

Chapter 266

The water was rising quickly, and the candlestick cut Guangzhong just reminded him with a word, and the calm water in the courtyard rose to the position of the calf of Token Fusangshen standing in the corridor on the first floor.

Because the water level was rising too fast, Hotaru and the others had no time to run to the stairs on both sides of the first floor, for fear of being blocked by the water.

So all the Sword Fusangshen directly leveraged each other to jump from the corridor on the first floor to the balcony on the second floor.

In just a few minutes, the first floor of the central castle was almost flooded.

"Too bad, there is still a ready dinner in the kitchen." Qie Guangzhong said annoyedly while grabbing a candlestick on a certain balcony on the second floor.

"The entire Honmaru is flooded, you still have time to worry about dinner." Xiaolong Jingguang jumped over the railing and stood on the balcony next to the candlestick Kiri Mitsutada.

"What the hell is going on, why is the water still rising?" Yiqi Yizhen frowned and looked towards the water level.

Good question, only one person can answer this question.

Hotaru stood on the balcony on the second floor, and stepped back towards the five tigers beside him.

The five tigers retreated, holding their heads and explaining aggrievedly: "Because the metal space converter we used for the experiment was not closed."

When the five tigers retreated, Saya Zuomonji, Akashi｜National Bank, Yamabuki Kunihiro, and Kokomaru experimented with metal converters in the courtyard, the five tigers retreated because the muddy ground in the courtyard suddenly turned into a water surface. It also fell into the water.

When he fell into the water, he accidentally flustered, and Wu Hutui dropped the metal space converter before he could close it, and now he probably sank to the bottom of the water.

The key is!

"The metal space converter is not closed, so the sea water will continuously pour out from the space door opened by the machine." Five Tigers retreated to the sky and added.

"However, because the space door opened by this metal space converter is not stable, the water potential will rise suddenly. Although it has calmed down now, it may rise again later."

"..." A group of swords paid for the mourning god.

Now the fun is big.

Hotaru looked at the watch sim on his wrist, and the waterproof screen showed the current time, 06:30 pm.

Usually at this time, except for Maeda Toshiro and Heino Toshiro who are still reading in the Wanwu Library, the other Token Fusangshin are usually in the central castle.

From the first episode to the first episode, Fujishiro Hakata has to deal with business in the afternoon, so naturally there is no need to say more.

When Candlestick Qie Guangzhong is preparing dinner, Xiaolong Jingguang will drink and chat with him at the bar next to the restaurant.

Ranto Shiro usually surfs the Internet in his room in the afternoon, while Gohutoi, Sayozamonji, Akashi｜National Bank, and Yamabagiri Kunihiro basically act together. In the afternoon, he either plays games in Sayazamonji's room or chats in the courtyard.

Either follow the five tigers back to the west tower to check the surveillance, or play some weird things in the five tigers' bedroom.

As a result, there was a flood today.

When Hotaru first came back, only the part of the courtyard below the central castle became the surface of the water. Later, after "chatting" with the five tigers on the corridor on the first floor for a while, the water rose up.

When Hotaru and the others jumped onto the balcony on the second floor, the entire water level rose to almost the same height as the balcony. In other words, the entire first floor of the central castle is now submerged in water.

"No, generally speaking, even if there is water, our central castle is not built in a pit, so it is impossible to flood the entire first floor?" Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said strangely.

There are no pits around them, and the stagnant water shouldn't be so high. This is unscientific!

No no no, actually it is.

"Our entire labyrinth city is surrounded by city walls, so a natural closed space is formed inside." Five Tigers retreated, shrinking their necks under Yingwan's stare, and explained weakly.

"Usually there is a drainage system in the entire labyrinth city, so there will be no water accumulation, but because the water flowing out of the space door opened by the metal space converter this time is continuous, so the drainage volume is not as good as the water intake, so it will suddenly drain. Waterlogged."

And to be precise, the place where the water accumulates is not the central castle, but the entire labyrinth city.

If you look down at the entire Labyrinth City from above at this time, you will find that the Labyrinth City is completely soaked in water.

"That is to say, if you leave it alone, the height that the accumulated water can reach will be the height enclosed by the walls of the labyrinth city." Hakata Fujishiro asked while pushing his glasses on the balcony.

"How high is the wall outside our Labyrinth City?"

"Well..." Five Tigers looked back at the sky and thought for a while, then said.

"It's about the height of the four floors of the central castle."

Four floors?

Except for the fifth-floor room on the highest floor of the God Inspector, all of this place will be flooded.

Now is no longer the time to ask the five tigers to return and settle accounts. The key is how to solve this crisis.

"What about chaos?" Hotaru looked around while thinking, and suddenly found that Ranto Shiro, who should be in the central castle, was not at the balcony where they gathered at this time.

"I went out for something in the morning, and I haven't come back yet." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said.

"Luan, Maeda and Heino are outside now. If they use the teleportation device to return to the Honmaru at this time, won't they be submerged in the water?" Xiaolong Jingguang looked down at the water surface that was some distance below the central teleportation device in the courtyard, and suddenly asked.

"Maeda and Hirano, can they swim?"

Ranto Shiro can swim, so Xiaolong Jingguang didn't ask.

"I don't know." Hakata Toshiro shook his head.

They don't have a swimming pool in the central castle, who cares about this issue.

"The problem now is to find a way to close the space door that gushes sea water. It is best to solve the problem before they come back." Hotaru stood on the second balcony and looked down at the water surface, said.

"Did the metal space converter fall into the bottom of the water? I should be able to dive at the water level on the first floor, just turn off the device, right?"

"Well, it's actually more than the height of the first floor." Wu Hutui, who sneaked behind his elder brother Yizhen while climbing the stairs while Yingwan was not paying attention, cautiously raised his hand to remind him.

"The dirt land in the courtyard was replaced by the space transmission device to the seabed, so except for the height of the first floor of our castle, the bottom of the courtyard is bottomless."

"..." Hakata Toshiro beside him.

Their Honmaru's retreat from the five tigers is really okay, haha.

Hearing this, Yingwan glared at the direction in which the five tigers were retreating, only to see the five tigers shrank their necks and hid behind while clutching the sleeves of Yiqi Yizheng.

"..." Hotaru.

Come out, I promise not to kill you!

But now is not the time to worry about this.

"If you can't dive, can't you think of a way to drain the water in our Honmaru?" Hakata Fujishiro proposed a solution from another angle.

Regardless of the root cause of the problem, at least treat the symptoms, and then consider other things after draining the water.

"Five Tigers Retire!" Yingwan shouted with both names and surnames, and angrily fished out the Five Tigers from behind the unhurried first phase and one shock, grabbed the bear by the collar and shook it desperately, and directly gave it to him. Dead order.

"Hurry up and find a way. I don't care if you drain the water or close the space door. If the sea water rises into my room, I will drag you out for eight hours a day for the next month!"

Hotaru's room is on the second floor. There are a lot of limited-edition books and various important materials in his room. It is obviously too late to pack them up at this time. If the water rises, it will basically be a gameover.

"...!"

"Wait a minute, let me think about it! I don't want to go out!" Wu Hutui blinked frantically, his thoughts developing rapidly.

at last.

"By the way, West Tower! There is a city wall control system in West Tower, which can open all the outer walls of the Labyrinth City." Wuhu Tui's head lit up.

Opening the city wall is like breaking a cup. The container is gone, and the water will naturally not collect.

"Then what are you still doing here?" Yingwan held Wuhutui's collar and smiled.

"..." Because you are still holding me, the five tigers retreated.

Yiqi Yizhen on the side finally inserted a sentence between the two tyrants in the central castle, defending his younger brother Wu Hutui.

"Cough, Yingwan, he can't leave even if you hold on to it." Yiqi Yizhen persuaded him on the balcony and reminded.

"Let go first."

As soon as Yingwan let go, the five tigers retreated and ran away thinking about Sita.

"Hurry up, the water seems to be rising below again." Hakata Toshiro shouted back to the five tigers who were running away.

From the balcony on the second floor to the water surface in the courtyard, the calm water gradually began to ripple again.

The five tigers waved their hands without looking back to show they knew.

The speed of the five tigers' retreat was indeed very fast. Not long after he entered the west tower, he heard a few loud noises from a distance around the central castle, and the sea water in the central castle immediately began to decrease to a degree visible to the naked eye.

Twenty minutes later, the living room on the first floor of the central castle was in a mess.

"In the kitchen on the first floor, all the dinner and ingredients in the restaurant have been soaked in sea water and cannot be eaten." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong stood aside and sighed.

"The equipment in the meeting room on the first floor has been flooded, and it can't be used." Hakata Toshiro pushed his glasses aside.

"The furniture was washed in a mess, and it was wet everywhere." Xiaolong Jingguang added with his hands behind his head.

Needless to say, but looking at the wandering living room on the first floor, you can understand basically everything.

"There is also a courtyard." Hotaru stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows near the courtyard in the living room and looked out.

"The water has been drained, but the seabed that was replaced in the courtyard is still there." Hotaru said.

"There's something I wanted to ask just now." Akashi, who was rarely standing by himself, asked suddenly after Hotaru's emotions drifted away with the current.

"I remember that Tsurumaru Kuninaga seemed to be locked in a dungeon before."

"Is the door to the dungeon... waterproof?"

"..."
