Rico pushed Hesta back to Chiba's room. As soon as the two opened the door, they saw the white light lighting up in the room.
"It's so late, where have you two been?" Chiba's voice came from the house.
Her leather shoes hit the floor, and the sound became closer and closer. Hesta and Rico's backs involuntarily straightened up.
"Uh... take a walk." Hesta replied, "Actually, it's not too late -"
Rico pushed Hesta to the table. Chiba sat down opposite her and measured Hesta's blood pressure and heart rate.
"You're in good condition...are you still feeling flustered and nauseous?"
"Yes," Hesta replied in a low voice, "a few times a day, but it doesn't last long."
Chiba took out a pen from his pocket and threw it into Hesta's arms, and Hesta caught it instinctively. But before Hesta could react, Chiba had already taken the pen away from her hand.
"Not bad, the reaction speed is not bad." She looked at Hesta's left hand, "Your hand is still shaking?"
"It doesn't affect anything." Hesta looked at her trembling fingers. She took a deep breath, and the trembling in her fingertips calmed down a lot. "Everyday life is no problem at all. Occasionally, you need to rest more when writing."
"Okay." Chiba nodded, "Do you have the pile of documents from the adjudicator with you now?"
Hesta was stunned for a moment, "...brought it with me."
"show me."
Although he hesitated, Hesta quickly took out several documents placed behind the wheelchair. Chiba rummaged through them skillfully and quickly read through the diary and several rules.
"Are you looking for something?"
"No." Chiba's eyes were unimpressed. She quickly put all these things into the document bag, and then put them in her hands. "Lend these things to me and return them to you tomorrow."
"...You are not borrowing, you are robbing!" Rico raised his hand to snatch the document back, but Chiba moved faster, and the document bag was tossed, passed, lost, and transferred in her hand. , Rico just wiped the document cover a few times, and in the blink of an eye, Chiba took the thing in another direction.
"What do you say, Jane?" Chiba looked at Hesta, "Would you like to borrow it?"
"...Borrow." Hesta replied.
Chiba smiled at Li Ge, "Look, it's not a robbery."
Li Ge's mouth sank slightly, he put one hand on his hip and stared at Qianye without saying a word.
"Don't go out again tonight." Chiba whispered, "Go to bed early."
"What's going on tomorrow?" Rico asked.
Chiba looked back at her, "What's the matter?"
"If it's okay, then why do you have to go to bed early tonight?"
"Patients need to go to bed early every day." Chiba picked up his coat that was placed on the back of the chair, reached out and patted Hestad on the head twice, "Stay in the room and stop running around. "
With that said, she walked to the door and closed it from the outside.
With the sound of the door closing, the room became quiet.
Rico poured herself a glass of water. She sat at the table and looked at Hesta: "...So Chiba came here specially tonight just to tell us not to go out. What does she mean?"
Hesta was still looking at the door Qianye left. After a long time, he turned back and said, "It seems that we have to go out tonight."
The two people's eyes met and they quickly reached an agreement.
Rico packed up his sidearms again, and about three or four minutes later, he pushed Hesta and went out again. However, when she turned the doorknob as usual, she suddenly discovered that the metal lump seemed to be welded to the door.
Rico twisted vigorously, and the doorknob broke.
"What's going on?" She kicked the hard door hard, but it didn't budge. "You really locked us in here?"
Hesta wheeled her wheelchair to the phone and picked up the receiver.
"...The phone line has also been cut off." Hesta whispered, "We can't get anyone else to come and open the door for us..."
"I said she suddenly came to you...it turned out to be a premeditated plan!"
"The direction of the corridor should be over there." Hesta pointed to the wall on the left, "Can we break through the wall directly?"
"……Let me try."
Rico took a few steps back, extended a running distance of about four or five meters, and then kicked the wooden wall panel in the air - the wooden board broke in response, but the compartment behind the wooden board was intact.
Hesta sighed softly, "No wonder Miss Chiba wants to take away those documents..."
"What?"
"The list of prohibited and restricted items," Hesta whispered, "What she actually took was the 'list of prohibited and restricted items', because as long as I wrote something on it, the crew would send the prohibited items to me. Come to the custodian, that is, me, and then... we will have foreign aid."
Li Ge laughed and said, "...she thought very carefully."
Hesta leaned on the back of the wheelchair, "Miss Chiba is indeed very aware of these things on the ship."
Following the damaged areas on the wall, Rico tore off all the decorative wooden boards with his bare hands. She carefully stroked the material of the partition. The touch felt very familiar to her.
"Hey, these seem to be the building materials for the mezzanine of the night banquet." Rico frowned, "You can definitely get out, but you have to enter bullet time first-"
"Wait for Rico first!"
"What's wrong?" Li Ge turned around, "I have experience in dealing with this kind of wall. The night Si Lei and I attended the banquet together——"
"Then your bullet time will start counting from now on." Hesta looked at Rico, "If Miss Chiba doesn't want us to run around tonight, but she also leaves a hole for us to get out after entering bullet time. ——”
"You mean she did it on purpose?" Rico narrowed his eyes, "Actually, her purpose is to make us unable to move in seven hours?"
Hesta scratched her head. She thought carefully for a moment, "Maybe the wall here has been reinforced. She was sure that you wouldn't be able to penetrate it even if you entered bullet time, so she just came over to take a look to make sure that both of us were safe." Entering the house—"
Rico looked at the wall again, "...then we have to try it first."
"Don't try."
"Do you have any other ideas?"
Hesta put her left hand into her pocket and said, "Yes."
Rico walked to Hesta, "What."
She put a piece of white paper folded in four quarters into Rico's hand. Rico unfolded it and found that it was the original list of prohibited and restricted items.
"...You took out this thing specially!"
"This is the core of the referee's power," Hestad looked at the white paper in Rico's hand, "Of course we must be fully prepared."
…
"Ana, Hesta has initiated a new security check. This is the third security check she has initiated in the past twenty-four hours."
Anna, who had already put on her sleep mask, sat up again and took off her eye mask sleepily.
"Come again? She is really a war madman..."
