The two of them landed dangerously, and Si Lei followed the inertia and turned somersault on the ground, and finally sat on the ground with his back facing the sky.
"Are you still laughing?" Li Ge looked at her in surprise not far away, "Is it funny?"
Si Lei did not answer. After taking a few deep breaths, she stood up with her support on the ground, "Every time I am taken flying by you, I have to lament why I am not a mercury needle, hahaha..."
Rico looked up and looked at the place where she struggled to break through just now - the gap was between the sixth deck and the seventh-floor rooftop.
"There is a mezzanine." Rico pointed to the high place, "Look, there are really two Bishop's restaurants on this ship."
Si Lei also saw the hole where smoke was blowing out, but soon she blinked hard, "...Is it my eyesight? Why do I feel that the hole is shrinking?"
"...It's not dazzling." Rico's expression froze on his face, "It's repairing itself."
High up, the damaged hull looked like some kind of mythical creation under the clouds. Materials continued to extend neatly from the edge of the fracture to the center. The pale yellow light from inside the sealed space became increasingly dim, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only the silver. The white hull reflects the moonlight this night.
Si Lei suddenly started and ran towards the entrance.
Rico immediately chased after him, "Where are you going!"
"Minus two floors!"
…
"It's too late, go get some rest." Rob yawned, "Look at which bed you want to sleep on... Where is your luggage?"
"I came in a hurry, so I didn't take it." Hestad was thinking about other things and answered absentmindedly.
"That's okay. They will bring you some daily necessities early tomorrow morning. You can make do with it tonight..."
"Who is sleeping in that bed?" Hesta pointed to the bedside table opposite Rob, "It looks like someone is there too."
"It's Captain Otto. He fell in the bathroom this morning and has not come back since he applied for medical treatment." Rob took off his glasses and lay down on his bed again. "When you are ready, go over there and turn off the light."
Hesta turned the wheelchair and moved slowly towards the entrance. She looked back one last time, and then pulled down the light cord.
The whole room darkened.
"It doesn't matter if you're here, it means it's safe here," Rob muttered alone on the bed. "Although I don't like your guardian's temper, her judgment is probably trustworthy... "
Rob turned over slightly, "Has she told you when we can dock?"
Rob's voice quickly dissipated, and silence returned to everything.
"Hesta?" Rob raised his head suspiciously. He opened his eyes and searched in the darkness, but saw nothing.
Rob straightened up, his voice beginning to tremble.
"Hesta, where are you?"
The huge room was dark and no one answered.
…
"Send me back." Hesta said softly.
"You can't leave yet." Putina smiled, "The elevator is occupied now."
On the descending elevator, Hestad, who was wearing an eyepatch, shook his head, "Does that mean the elevator we are taking now is not a passenger elevator?"
Putina laughed a few times and did not answer.
Hesta turned her head in her direction, "Occupied by who?"
"can not say."
"Then when will things return to normal?"
"Hard to say."
"...You don't want to imprison me, do you?"
"Absolutely not." Putina thought for a while, "No matter what, I will definitely send you back before one o'clock."
"I can't go back so late, I have to get there before Rico and the others -"
"I'm afraid they won't go back very early." Putina said softly, "You will definitely be able to return to the room before them."
"Is their party not over yet?"
"They have already left the dinner party."
Hesta frowned. Putina's words suddenly caused her to have many dangerous associations, "...wherever they are now, you can just send me to them."
"It's best not," Putina replied. "It's very dangerous outside now. Ms. Hesta, you'd better stay with us until everything calms down."
…
In the elevator car, Si Lei quickly pressed -2 floors.
"I want to go back to that place again," Sirey explained, "that Bishop's restaurant where there's a dinner party tonight."
"What are you going to see?"
"Just check to see if the banquet is still there," Si Lei whispered, "The key is whether those guests are still there..."
"You're crazy, what if that deck is filled with mustard gas too—"
"Last time Grunin's body was found, I remember you ripped open the elevator steel plate," Si Lei looked at her, "The elevator can't trap you, right?"
"……right."
With a "ding", the elevator opened on the second floor.
The corridor on the second floor is still dark and empty.
Si Lei pressed the door-close button.
"If we open the door later and find poisonous gas, we will immediately escape from the top of the elevator. If not, we will go back to the crowd to take a look," Si Lei said softly, "I want to know where these guests will go after the dinner. .”
Rico looked up at the top of the car and said, "Okay."
Si Lei took a deep breath and smashed the number 6 on the keypad with his fist.
The elevator went up smoothly.
When the door opened again, Rico's state had relaxed - she did not smell any pungent smell during the entire ascent, which meant that the poisonous gas did not leak inside the deck.
Outside the elevator, the two of them only saw an empty corridor without any noise.
"The dinner is over?" Si Lei murmured, but when her eyes fell on the ground, she suddenly realized something, "No, we didn't go back to the sixth floor! The color of the carpet is wrong!"
Rico also discovered this - she stood in front of the window, stretched out her hand, and stretched her fingers out of the window easily.
The next moment, another elevator behind the two started running.
Si Lei and Li Ge looked back at the indicator light at the same time - the orange light started to decrease from the number six, but the elevator door was always closed.
"It's the elevator that comes down from above." Si Lei clenched his fists, "...Okay, let's see where they go."
The number pointed by the copper needle moved slowly and finally stopped at -2.
The second floor of the negative... It is indeed the second floor of the negative!
At the same time, the door of the elevator they took also closed, and the elevator started running, but the number pointed by the pointer did not change. After a while, the elevator also began to go down, and finally stopped on the second floor.
When the elevator rose again, Si Lei and Li Ge entered the car at the same time. They didn't press any buttons, they just waited.
However, this time, the elevator did not move from beginning to end.
The two had no choice but to leave the car again in order to observe further - the two elevators in front of them soon started running again, and the copper hands echoed between minus two and six.
