“Is it here?” Bai Youwei asked, unable to see clearly through the window.
Outside was pitch dark, and the sound of the rain was like a waterfall, they couldn’t see or hear what kind of guest was arriving.
Shen Mo rubbed his foot on the watery floor, saying, “Let me take you upstairs first.”
Yan Qingwen also noticed the increasing accumulation of water on the floor. His eyebrows furrowed as he said, “Let’s all go upstairs, the first floor might get flooded.”
The aquatic plant on the stairway was not there for no reason, this house surely had been submerged during the game debugging phase, and it had been flooded for a considerable amount of time.
Everyone went upstairs.
The staircase was a “7” shape. They paused at the bend, continuing to monitor the conditions on the first floor.
The rainfall continued to seep into the house, with the water level rising at a rapid pace, soon submerging a whole step. There was no sign of the rain ceasing outside.
“What the hell just arrived…” Lun Ang muttered, “The damn thing flooded the whole house. Now we can’t use the props.”
Everyone instinctively looked at Bai Youwei.
Speaking of offensive props, Bai Youwei’s rabbit was undoubtedly the most powerful. If it can’t be used, it would mean a great loss of strength.
Bai Youwei sat quietly, ignoring the gazes studying her surroundings.
The water level was rising steadily. In just moments, three levels of steps were submerged.
Everyone started to look panicked.
Professor Cheng said, “If this water keeps rising, we we must think of a solution….”
What kind of solution?
Turn into fish and swim away?
Even if they managed to turn into fish, they would need to open the doors and windows, but their guest outside was waiting for them…
When the water level flooded the fifth step, perhaps due to a short circuit, the indoor lights flickered then suddenly went out.
The first floor was engulfed in darkness.
Only the lights on the second floor and attic were still on.
The darkness compounded the chill and terror in the atmosphere, stretching the tension to its limit.
Finally agitated, Lun Ang suggested, “How about trying the boat! After all, we haven’t found any other ‘treasures’. We can’t just wait around!”
Yan Qingwen looked at Shen Mo and Bai Youwei.
Bai Youwei nodded, “It’s worth a try. We can’t see the guest outside now, we can’t analyze the true meaning of the ‘treasure’, let it in. Even if it’s wrong, at least we’ll know the power of the other party.”
Yan Qingwen glanced at the others.
They all nodded in agreement.
Even if they knew the boat might not be the right answer, it was at least an answer. It was better than doing nothing!
“Alright.” Yan Qingwen gritted his teeth, making the decision, “Bring the boat over.”
“I’ll get it.” Lun Ang volunteered, “You keep an eye on the trap on the stairs. As soon as anything goes wrong, release the trap.”
The only one who could accurately control the timing of the trap release was Yan Qingwen.
The space at the bend of the stairs was narrow, to avoid interference, the rest continued upwards and stopped at the entrance of the second floor staircase.
Lun Ang held the large ship model with both hands, staring at the direction of the door, took a deep breath, then shouted:
“Please come in, guests!”
The door sprang open with a bang!
Unlike the previous slow creaking opening, it was quickly forced open by the water!
The whole house seemed to be submerged in the sea, an endless amount of water poured in from the door! With a roaring sound, the water level rose rapidly in front of their eyes!
Six steps!
Seven steps!
Eight, nine, ten steps! Half of the “7” shaped staircase was submerged!
Everything from Lun Ang’s stomach down was in the water!
“Lun Ang! Can you see the guest now?” His companions on the second floor shouted.
Lun Ang scanned the area, noticing a dark shadow in the water.
“There’s something in the water!” He shouted up to the second floor, “It’s big! But it’s too dark, I can’t see clearly! Does anyone up there have a flashlight?”
Before his words were finished, there was another loud rushing sound of water!
A huge monster surfaced from the water!
