I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

Mitsuhiko muttered, then raised his face and watched the numbers on the elevator LCD screen decreasing one by one without saying a word.

74…73…72…71…Ding!

The sudden floor arrival prompt broke the dead silence in the elevator, making everyone in the elevator tense their eyes.

The next moment, the elevator stopped going down, and the heavy sliding doors slowly opened to both sides amidst the sound of sliding rails.

The bright lights in the elevator shone into the dark corridor, and waiting outside was a woman holding a child in her arms.

That's right, it was the baby and its mother who cried, fussed and licked Mouri Kogoro's lump during the 30-second guessing event.

The elevator has a capacity limit of eight people, and there are already five adults and four children in the elevator. No matter how light the baby is, there is still an adult in the elevator.

"Ah, sorry..."

Looking at the already full elevator, the young mother took a half-step back consciously. It seemed that she didn't intend to take this train.

If all the people in this elevator were adults, maybe the plot would really go on like this.

After all, the minds of adults are much more complicated than those of children. Although the Memu Police Department did not describe much about the situation they were facing in the banquet hall above, the series of countermeasures they took later were enough to wake them up.

There is no doubt that they are now in the escape stage. During the escape process, any behavior that gives up the chance of survival to others may lead to death for themselves.

What's more, the other party seems to have no idea what happened and is waiting for the next one. If you want to get rid of this trouble, you only need to pretend not to know anything.

It's easy, nothing difficult, and there's no need to feel guilty.

but--

Accompanied by a burst of light and delicate footsteps, Gentai Ayu and Mimitsu Yan took the initiative to walk out of the elevator and came to the dark corridor.

Seeing their appearance, Haiyuan Ai knew what these little guys were planning to do next, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

She never thought that her momentary concealment would lead to such trouble, but she had no choice but to follow him out of the elevator.

The elevator that was originally full suddenly had a lot of space.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the woman holding the child hesitated a little.

"Wait a minute, but you..."

"It's okay, it's okay. We're not in a hurry anyway. We can just wait for the next one."

Almost without any explanation, Mitsuhiko and Genta pushed her into the elevator with a smile.

Seeing how insistent the little guys were, the woman holding the child didn't know what to say and accepted the kindness gratefully.

Then the elevator door closed, and the corridor fell into darkness again.

An environment surrounded by darkness can always arouse people's fear of the unknown. The three little ones who were shrouded in a heroic halo a few seconds ago and vowed to wait for the next class soon became uneasy.

"What should I do next?"

Looking around at the seemingly endless darkness, Ayumi's voice sounded a little unnatural.

"Didn't Mitsuhiko say you can just wait for the next one? I'll just wait here." Genta is relatively nervous.

At this time, a bright light broke through the darkness of the night.

It's Haibara Ai.

Because she had not participated in the 30-second guessing activity, she did not hand in her watch.

What was shining brightly at this moment was the watch specially made by Dr. Ali in her hand.

After hearing the results of the three little ones' discussion, Haiyuan Ai complained lightly.

"Are you stupid? It was full when we came down just now. Even if we wait until the next class, it will still be full, right?"

"Then... how about that?"

Mitsuhiko was also dumbfounded now.

The brown-haired girl sighed again, turned around and pointed the light in the direction of the green sign with the safety exit in the corridor.

"There is nothing we can do. Fortunately, we have only gone down four floors. Anyway, let's go up first and then talk about it."

……

On the other side, located on the side of Building A of the 65th-floor communication bridge, Serabel crossed her arms and leaned against the wall.

He took out his phone and glanced at it, frowning slightly.

Serabel arrived here 2 minutes ago, but 6 minutes have passed since the evacuation started. Except for herself, all the other men who followed the evacuation via the stairs have left.

According to his calculations, Yuanzi Xiaolan's elevator should arrive at the 65th floor at about the same time as him. It has already exceeded the time limit by 2 minutes. Why hasn't it come down yet?

At the same time, he was stuck in the elevator on the 68th floor. A bullet from a large-caliber sniper rifle penetrated the outer glass and completely destroyed the control panel of the elevator. Electric sparks were flying out.

On the top of a high-rise building hundreds of meters away from the Twin Towers, Gin, who was wearing a long black trench coat that would never change forever, looked at someone in the elevator in the scope, scratching his head, lamenting, and sometimes clasping his fingers to the sky as if praying. "Shirley", who doesn't look too smart, can't help but have a trace of surprise on her always cold face.

Could it be that...you recognized the wrong person?

After a moment of silence, he picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Vodka.

"That's not Shirley, it's just someone else who looks similar. Also, let's activate the contact bridge bomb."?

Chapter 174: Gin, you go out on the street and shovel all the people!

It only took two or three minutes, until Serabel, who was guarding the side of Building A of the communication bridge, finally smelled the first faint burnt smell in the air, and then there was some messy sound from the stairwell in the direction of the safety passage. Footsteps.

He took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight mode to look over. A familiar figure rushed out of the door immediately.

It's Xiaolan.

And behind her were Conan Sonoko and others, and there were so many people in the elevator that no one was missing.

"There's a light in front of you...eh? Is it Sera-kun?"

He rushed towards the communication bridge at a speed that completely exceeded the physical capabilities of an adult social animal. Xiaolan, who originally thought it was the Memu Police Department waiting here, took a closer look and found that it was actually Serabel. She couldn't help but be surprised and braked.

Serabel put away her posture of leaning against the wall and waiting for others, straightened up and hummed lightly, her eyes falling on Miss Yuanzi who was panting behind Xiaolan and finally caught up with her.

After a cursory glance, he found no obvious injuries or unnatural places, and he felt relieved.

"Didn't I agree to meet you at the communication bridge before? I've been waiting here. Why are you here so late?"

"This...it's a long story. The elevator suddenly broke down and got stuck. We still got out through the roof. By the way, where are the others?"

Xiaolan asked with concern.

Serabel pointed to the other side of the communication bridge: "I think they have all passed by. At that time, all the men taking the stairs except me have passed the communication bridge. It should be the last elevator for you."

"Then let's go there now!"

Keenly aware of the gradually burning smell in the air, Conan urged anxiously.

Serabel glanced upstairs: "One more thing, do you have a way to contact your friends immediately? I didn't seem to see them among the people who passed the contact bridge when the first elevator came down. .”

"Varied……"

The expression on Conan's face suddenly froze.

He had no doubt that Serabel would lie to him about this kind of thing. Although it was possible that the light was dim and the distance was too far to see clearly, the matter was so important that he could only believe it.

At this time, Xiaolan Yuanzi and other people who got off the same elevator were already heading towards the communication bridge. Seeing that the two of them were still staying where they were, they couldn't help but urge.

"Conan, and Sera-kun, do you need to leave quickly?"

"Ah, wait a minute, I'll be right back!"

Conan replied hastily, hurriedly took out the detective badge from his clothes, pressed a small button on it and said loudly.

"Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Haibara, can you hear me? Where are you now?"

"..."

"..."

After two seconds of silence, the familiar yet childish voice from the detective badge came.

The speaker was Mitsuhiko.

"Ah, Conan-kun, we are at the elevator on the 75th floor, but the elevator doesn't come no matter how hard I press the elevator switch?"

"Why...are you there?!"

When he heard that these guys were still on the top floor, Conan was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Even Serabel silently took a breath.

Why are you running around at this time? You know this is a fire scene!

These naughty kids are really good at keeping things together.

With a slight sigh, Serabel took the detective badge that could be used as a walkie-talkie from Conan's hand.

"Listen to me, the elevator is broken now. No matter how hard you press it, it will be useless. There is only one way right now, which is to come down the safety passage immediately. I will come up to pick you up."

After saying the last words, he threw the detective badge back into Conan's hands.

"Okay, you and Xiaolan Yuanzi and the others can go there first. When I go up and find them, I will come over and join you."

"Wait a minute, I too..."

"Without you, you go with Xiaolan Yuanzi and the others."

Without giving Conan a chance to speak, Serabel grabbed the back of Destiny's neck and threw it to Xiaolan, who was waiting anxiously not far away. She made a "take him away" gesture, then turned and walked straight to the safe passage. direction.

The distance between the two sides is ten floors in total, from top to bottom on one side and from bottom to top on the other side, so the entire rendezvous process does not take much time.

Two minutes later, Serabel, Haibara Ai and a certain trio completed their rendezvous on the stair platform between the 2th and 69th floors.

The movements of the little guys were unexpectedly fast. Except for Genta, who was a little out of breath due to his clumsy body shape and the long steps, the other three were in pretty good condition.

"Wow! Brother Sera is here to pick us up!"

As soon as Ayumi met him, he jogged up to meet her in surprise.

Yuanta, who was behind, was holding on to the handrail of the stairs and could hardly stand straight.

"Ha... haha... are we finally here? Can we... take a little rest..."

"No, we haven't arrived yet. This is only the 69th floor."

Serabel glanced at Haibara Ai and Mitsuhiko together and prepared to head downstairs again.

Yuan Tai let out a sigh of disappointment: "Then we have to go down a few more floors..."

Due to the lack of oxygen, his already poor brain was even worse. It seemed that he couldn't even add and subtract within a hundred.

"Four more floors to go."

Serabel explained patiently as she walked down.

"Going downstairs is not that exhausting. Just hold on a little longer. You can rest as much as you want after crossing the bridge, but at least not now. The fire will come up soon. Even if you want to survive, you have to do it. Squeeze out all your strength tomorrow..."

boom--!

Before he finished speaking, a sudden burst of explosions shook everyone's eardrums.

"What, what's going on!"

"What happened!"

"What a loud voice!"

The children cried out in instinctive panic.

Serabel covered his ears and looked sharply in the direction of the explosion. When he saw the situation below clearly, he felt that the blood all over his body ran cold.

I saw raging firelight blooming like blood-stained black roses from the outside of the connection point of Building B of the 65th floor bridge.

It's hard to see clearly from the side of Building A due to the angle, but judging from the vibrations under our feet, it must be in a similar situation.

The communication bridge between the two buildings originally relied on the connection between the two ends as the fulcrum, with no support at all in the middle.

When the connection was broken by the explosion, the steel bar weighing thousands of tons lost all its supporting points and began to fall downwards in accordance with the gravity of the earth. It spanned a height of tens of meters and hit the 45th floor contact bridge. Then it continued to fall downwards with the 45th floor contact bridge.

It was a scene like a collapse of the sky. The seemingly indestructible communication bridge was like two snakes stacked on top of each other with their bodies broken, falling towards the endless abyss below without anyone being able to hold it back.

Not only did it blow up the server room, but it also blew up the communication bridge. Didn't it appear that the competitors were maliciously trying to interfere with each other, so that people could not understand their true purpose...

Serabel tortured her forehead.
