Chapter 60: The Bathroom
???“ Well, it's okay now. Setsuko clapped her hands and set the tools aside. She chirped to signal Fujiwara Kansuke to come over, and pointed to the girl on the grand piano who was still unconscious. "You come and hug her, take care of it."
"Yes." Fujiwara Kansuke nodded solemnly, picked up the girl and walked to the line gathered by the store manager. In contrast to his majestic figure like Roshan, the girl in his arms looks like a pale silk man.
"The seriously wounded have been resolved. So, let's talk about our problems. Shitsuko looked at Li Su and Qino, who had just landed, and smiled brightly. It's just that the more Li Su looks at this smile, the more he feels cold in his heart.
"I don't think it's important for the time being, it's more important to escape." Li Su pointed in the direction of the store manager. The manager had asked the waiter to open the door to the secret passage, and the shivering girls rushed in.
"There are so many people, there are always a few minutes." Setsuko didn't mind, and directly pulled Ema in front of her, facing Kotono. "Kotono, this girl's name is Eimo Nagamine, she came to Li Su specifically tonight, or is it a girl who is usually very shy to come to this kind of place alone, and she didn't give up in the face of traffic control like ours, and she and Li Su know each other for two weeks. On top of that, what happened between them, the girl was completely, completely unwilling to say. ”
Shizuko kept a smile and looked at Li Su with a bitter face: "So our playboy, love master, and real-life version of Mr. James Bond Li Su, did I just say something wrong?" ”
"Nothing has been wrong, but I don't accept the last accusation."
"Then please tell me why this Miss Ema is so persistent in looking for you."
"It's hard to say, it's a long story."
"The distance of the retreat is estimated to be not short, and what we have is time."
"I'm not going to retreat with you, I still have something to do."
"That's good. Let's go, Kotono, and let our Mr. Bond save the world. Setsuko reached out and grabbed Kotono's hand and turned around to pull her away.
"Wait a minute, Setsuko." Kotono suddenly broke free from Setsuko. She faced Li Su and looked straight into his eyes: "Why can't you say it?" ”
"Because there are some concerns." Li Su replied honestly.
"Is my concern?"
"Not really."
"And if I go with you, can you tell me when you're alone?"
"This ...... OK. But the place I'm going to is dangerous, and I suggest you evacuate with them. ”
"I'll go with you."
"Kotono!" Setsuko was in a hurry. "What's so good about him? Is it worth it for you to get to this point? ”
"I went with him because I wanted to go. And, I believe, he won't lie to me. Kotono calmly met Setsuko's gaze.
"Even if we don't care whether he has any intentions or not, according to the plan, we should take the initiative to return to our home in this state of disconnection! We can't disobey orders! ”
"It's not a big problem, I can solve it, in the name of the academy transferring manpower from the Eight Snake Families, but we have other troublesome problems." Li Su said.
Suddenly, the voice changed.
Until then, Takamagahara's remaining speakers intermittently played previously stored Chinese songs, disaster warnings, and noises of lost signals. But just now, all the speakers were muted at the same time, and then there was a soft click, like someone had brought an old-fashioned gramophone to the microphone and gently placed a needle on the old-fashioned vinyl record. Low, monotonous, regular sounds began to echo throughout Takamagahara, as if someone was beating a pair of wooden sticks.
"There's no time, you guys hurry up and make a decision!" Li Su spoke a lot more hurriedly, as if something was chasing him. "Now! Fast! ”
"That'...... All right. In the end, it was Shitsuko who retreated, she held Qin's hand and handed it to Li Su with a serious face, and at the same time did not forget to leave a threat: "Qino, I handed it over to you, remember to let her come back completely, otherwise it will ......"
"I see." Li Su simply interrupted her words, and instructed Ema who was probing his brain at the entrance of the secret passage: "Call your father to report his safety, and then ask him to run quickly and run to a high place!" ”
Then he grabbed Kotono's hand and ran to the already dark corridor of Takamagahara.
"This bastard listens to what he says!" Setsuko stomped her foot angrily, flashed into the emergency passage with Yami, and closed the door behind her. At the same time, a thin metal beep was heard, the sound of the hook claw on the outer wall of Takamagagahara, and at the other end of the hook were rubber boats, on which were heavily loaded and fierce gunmen, eager to try.
After rounding a corner, the ballroom was completely out of sight. Li Su suddenly slowed down and walked in the calf-deep stagnant water. It stands to reason that walking in such a place that will be flooded at any time is an out-and-out act of seeking death, and the corridor without any gaps will suffocate them to death inside. The most important thing she should do now is to knock Li Su the head to wake him up, and then pull him out of this building as soon as possible. But Kotono, as usual, decides to believe him.
After that, Li Su did an even more nonsense act: he actually led her down! Embark on the stairs that lead to the basement!
"What are we going down for?" Kotono couldn't help but ask.
"Let you take a hot shower first, it's not good to lose heat, right?" Li Su reached out and rubbed her long wet hair, leading her to wade through the water in the basement.
Li Su seemed familiar with Takamagahara's basement, and he led Kotono around the bends and finally stopped in front of a teak door. The more she walked, the more strange she felt, it stands to reason that with the current drainage, this basement should have been filled a long time ago, but after such a long period of time, the stagnant water has always been only knee-high. She could only guess that Takamagahara's basement was directly connected to Tokyo's sewer network, and that the water was being drained as it was being poured in.
Li Su pushed open the wooden door. He used the spirit of speech when he opened the door, and the stagnant water was stopped outside the room, and when he opened the door, he turned on the warm yellow wall lamp in the room. It's really a bathroom, and it's an authentic Japanese bathroom. Wooden panels carved with rich patterns stick to the walls on all sides, and the faint smell of aromatherapy permeates the room. There was no incense in the room, it was the smell of the wooden planks that had been roasted for many years. In the corner of the room is a large square bathtub, and in the center of the room stand three barrels one person high.
Li Su unscrewed the faucet of the bathtub and reached out to test the water temperature, but the hot water pipe here had not been affected by the tide. The bath water at the right temperature quickly builds up a thin layer at the bottom of the tub. After putting away the bath water, Li Su picked among the messy plastic bottles in the corner of the room, and selected two bottles to put next to the bathtub. "I don't know what you like, I think these are the best for you. Take a shower, I'll go out and find you two clothes. ”
"Didn't you say there was danger next? But what do I have to do is take a shower? It's not dangerous. ”
"There will be danger next, but it is not contradictory to taking a shower now."
"What about you? Don't take a shower? And the clothes you want to change. ”
"I have a solution." Li Su looked at his watch and walked to the bathroom door. "I'll go first and I'll be back soon."
"Well, I'll wait for you." Kotono said behind him. Then there was the sound of the fabric rubbing. After the squeaky sound of her clothes falling to the ground, she stepped into the warm bath water with a naked jade foot, and the sound of water echoed in the bathroom. Li Su didn't look back, and he wasn't going to turn back, he pushed the door and left the bathroom.
What Qin Nai, who was immersed in the hot water, didn't notice that after Li Su closed the door, the wooden door and the door frame and the entire wall began to quietly merge into one, and it was difficult to distinguish each other. And the tide, which was originally suppressed dozens of meters away, suddenly lost control and instantly filled the entire basement.
Before stepping onto the stairs on the second floor, Li Su glanced back at the entrance of the basement, which was already a vast ocean. The bathroom was completely sealed, and there was enough oxygen in it to live for at least three days.
He should only need thirty minutes.
