Chapter 719 Teacher and Disciple
“There was an explosion?!”
After picking up the phone, Hidehiko Kazama’s expression changed drastically when he heard the message on the other side of the phone.
“The motor room on the fourth underground floor of the building, the office area on floors 1-4, and the server and computer room on the 40th floor exploded. The 40th floor of Building A is now burning due to violent deflagration. I can’t see the surveillance video of the scene.”
On the other end of Megure Shisan’s phone, Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Rensaburo in the control room gave more detailed answers.
The two people looked at the screen that kept sending out alarms, and answered seriously while evacuating the staff in the room.
"What?! The main information of the group is stored there. In this case..." Mio Tokiwa, who had just calmed down a little, could no longer calm down at all.
"Now is not the time to care about information or not." Megure Thirteen frowned and pulled Hidehiko Kazama, whose emotions were also fluctuating wildly, "Mr. Kazama, you are the chief designer of the building Teacher, do you have any plans for the fire evacuation of the building?”
Speaking of this, Megure Shisan’s glance at Tokiwa Mio was somewhat subtle.
There will be laws strictly restricting super high-rise buildings in the Tokyo area. What I am afraid of is that this situation will happen. At a height of nearly 80 floors, no matter how good the fire protection technology is, it will be difficult to provide safety protection.
Unless an accident occurs, the tall buildings soaring into the sky are naturally full of visual shocks. However, once an accident occurs, such as now, the place becomes a cage hundreds of meters above the ground. No matter what kind of fire ladder, it is impossible to directly complete the rescue, or even say that It is extremely difficult to extinguish the fire that broke out on the 40th floor...
Considering that the existence of this building is the result of the owner of the building, Mio Tokiwa, he did not hesitate to do anything, and even used gray means to force it. , it’s hard not to feel ironic.
"I have confirmed that not only the power lines have been damaged, but also the underground generator sets and even the backup power supply are unusable." Hidehiko Kazama looked solemnly towards the only safety exit left. At the venue where the indicator light was still on, "Maybe we can only take the escape ladder..."
He understood the subtext of Megure Thirteen very well.
There were many elderly and children in the venue. It is self-evidently difficult to reach the ground from the 75th floor.
"Oh, there is another way!" Hidehiko Kazama looked in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling glass, "Viewing elevator! It is a special passage specially designed for VIPs. It has its own independent power supply and will not be damaged due to circuit damage. "
"In the building where the fire broke out on the 40th floor, take the elevator downstairs..." This time, even Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"The observation elevator has been specially equipped with fire and explosion protection. As long as the fire does not spread, it can last for a period of time..." Hidehiko Kazama finally found a rhythm and spoke confidently, "Let's give in to the inconvenience first. The people in action take the elevator directly to the safe location, and the rest of the people go down the escape tunnel to the contact bridge on the 66th floor, and then go to Building B, and then they can reach the ground safely!"
He pressed the elevator button and stood up! Waiting anxiously in front of the door.
Two minutes later, with everyone looking expectantly, the elevator slowly opened in the darkness, and light spilled out from the elevator car.
"Ah, it can indeed move!"
"Great, in that case..."
"Where is the estimated number of people in the elevator?" Seeing the elevator open, Thirteen's eyes relaxed slightly. tone, and confirmed to Hidehiko Kazama.
"9-10 people. The building is too high, and the observation elevator cannot be strengthened like a freight elevator, and can only carry about 1 ton." Hidehiko Kazama gave the answer.
The eyes of several people turned to him, and then silently to Mio Tokiwa. The subtext in their eyes was self-evident.
——You said you have nothing to do, why do you have to build it so high?
"Police Department, it is unrealistic to transport everyone in the elevator. There has been a complete fire on the 40th floor. Although the fire doors have been successfully lowered, because the circuits of the entire building have been cut off, automatic sprinklers and other equipment cannot take effect. It's only a matter of time before the elevator fails to work." Shiratori Rensaburo on the other end of the phone responded quickly, "We will rush to the 66th floor as soon as possible to assist the evacuation of people."
"Well, let all the elderly and children still live. Women should go down in the elevator, and everyone else should use the escape ladder to evacuate!" Mumu Shisan quickly made a decision.
————
"It's very lively, down here..." Feeling the vibration from the dark building under his feet, Xingchuan Hui breathed out and stretched out his hand to grab the roof of the rooftop. Railing, "Are we ready to take action?"
As a super high-rise luxury skyscraper, the twin towers are naturally equipped with helicopter landing pads. The venue on the 75th floor is only a short dozen meters away from them, and they can even vaguely hear the noisy movement below.
"Wait a moment." Miyano Akemi lowered her eyes, the butterfly-like black lace mask on her face reflected the faint moonlight, giving her slightly cold words a hint of mystery, "Tokiwami Xu still has hope for this place. Only if it completely collapses can we have a chance to take away her secret treasure. "So, have you determined the location of her secret treasure?" Going in and out of multiple halls, Zhufu Jingguang, who was very physically exhausted, frowned, "The navigation reaction was very violent, but we almost ran through the entire building."
This time the double The opening ceremony of the Tower Skyscraper can be described as a great harvest for the Phantom Thieves.
In addition to the long-cherished target Ruzuki Fengsui, there were many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen who were closely related to the interests of the building, and they were all captured one by one by them and Shimabukuro Kimie, who was busy on the subway.
According to Tang Ze's previous estimate, today's harvest in one night would be enough for the next egg to appear. The only thing left to pull alive and bring down Gu Zero's next egg was time to gather information and wait for it to hatch.
The reason why they have not evacuated until now is that, in addition to giving the Phantom Thieves a gorgeous curtain call, there is also another important reason, that is, another big target, Mio Tokiwa, has not been finally defeated. Strategy completed.
Relying on her own selfish desires and so-called responsibility to the family business, Mio Tokiwa promoted the completion of the building at any cost. In her eyes now, this building is almost the entirety of her career.
In order to defeat the inner defense of this strong woman, Tang Ze prepared the sign on the building so early.
——Even if you rely on the abilities of Noah and Hoshikawa Teru to rush through the night, painting such a large logo on the outer wall of such a tall building is still very time-consuming and laborious. The fundamental purpose of the operation is to shake things up in advance. Mio Tokiwa's mind allowed her palace to show its distorted true form as soon as possible, instead of being an impregnable fortress.
How should I put it, a space fortress that is hundreds of meters high and equipped with various sci-fi weapons, even if they are super-powered monster thieves, it is still too much.
"Karasawa said, it's confirmed." Asai Shimizu, who has always maintained contact with Karasawa, said firmly, "It's a bit similar to the original Noah."
"What do you mean? ?" Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had only just joined the group and had not yet fully understood the world, raised his eyebrows.
Miyano Akemi stepped on the smooth glass and took a few steps forward.
The strong wind from high altitude pulled the hem of her skirt like a flag.
She tapped the building beneath her feet with the heel of her high heels.
“The woman who is so paranoid and crazy, regardless of the cost, is desperate to build this building. Her secret treasure...of course, is the building itself.”————
"You all go in."
"But Conan-kun, and Xiao Ai..."
"It's okay. Let's just go to the next class and leave."
Two fake primary school students, one on the left and one on the right, followed Mao Lilan and waved to the three young detective team members who looked worried.
"Is it really okay?" Yoshida Ayumi looked at the two classmates standing outside the door and couldn't help but feel anxious.
I don’t know if it’s because Xiao Ai and Conan’s physiques are like this, or if they are probably the smartest people in the team and therefore the most likely to have problems. I always feel that every time they face a similar situation, the two of them are in trouble. Everyone is more likely to have trouble.
If possible, Yoshida Ayumi really hopes that they will be the first to escape danger. Otherwise, I always feel that something new will happen.
"Hurry up and get off, time is urgent." Haiyuan Ai stood still, smiled reassuringly at a few people, and quickly turned his eyes to the passengers on the other side who were also saying goodbye.
"Teacher, please go down first." Without any explanation, Tang Ze stuffed the two scrolls into Sailor Moon Peak and pushed him towards the elevator.
"Look down on my legs and feet? Don't treat me like an old man!" Ruyue Fengshui snorted twice and tapped the crutch twice unconvincingly.
"I know you are in good health and you climb mountains and walk like flying every day, but the situation is different." Tang Ze pushed him forward again, "Just think of it as a way to protect your paintings, right?"
I don’t know if it was the call from the Phantom Thieves that played a role, or Karasawa’s insidious statement that made Kisaragi Minesui change his mind. Originally, he was supposed to hand over a giant picture frame to Mio Tokiwa and Kisaragi Minesui, but he thought about it again and again. , and finally chose to take out a scroll that was easy to frame as the highlight of the night.
Therefore, when others were panicking due to the explosion and the activities of the Phantom Thieves, Karasawa casually rolled up the stage a few times, stored Kisaragi Hosui and the paintings he had worked so hard to complete, and rolled them up like wooden sticks. shape.
I’ve known for a long time that the building is going to blow up, so don’t waste art, and change it to a recyclable form, which is more environmentally friendly.
When Mio Joban changed his mind later, and the relationship between the entire Joban Group and the organization was discovered and thoroughly investigated, the senior sister who must have paid for the painting was not in the mood to ask for the things back.
Back and forth, free prostitution, a win-win situation.
Now these two paintings are held in Ruyue Fengshui's arms.
This old man, who had always been cold and tough, held the painting so carefully, which made Tang Ze sigh slightly.
Not to mention anything else, he, the cheap teacher he bumped into halfway, was really caring about Kitagawa Yusuke, a serious disciple, and the art he devoted his life to.
"Yusuke..." Standing at the junction of the elevator and the carpet, Kisaragi Hosui suddenly grabbed the sleeve of Karasawa's kimono with his backhand and looked at him deeply with an unspeakable look
Tangze looked at him and understood something from the other's worried and struggling expression.
Be it the Phantom Thieves logo that appeared on the practice work, or the logo that appeared on the building when the two of them arrived at the Joban Group for an early visit and left together, including the sudden appearance and the shameless appearance. The matter of his apprenticeship itself...
Kasugetsu Hosui must have been aware of the fact that Kitagawa Yusuke is related to the Phantom Thieves.
Karasawa smiled reassuringly, showing a slightly different look from Kitagawa Yusuke, who didn't know how to read the air and had no emotional intelligence.
"Don't worry about me, teacher. I'm sensible, nothing will happen."
Ruyue Fengshui looked at him for a few seconds, then looked at him standing in the elevator, The others, who looked anxious, sighed silently.
"Take this." Just like when Tang Ze pushed the scroll to him, Ruyue Fengshui couldn't help but push the crutch in his hand into Tang Ze's hand.
"This..." Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Tang Ze was stunned.
"Take it. Get down safely, you kid..." Ruyue Fengshui shook his head.
He knew that his cheap apprentice had a lot of doubts about his identity, and the Phantom Thieves slowly becoming active in his social circle with the appearance of the other party was an even more obvious signal. .
He even knows that there is a high probability that he is also one of the main targets of the Phantom Thieves. Today, his mood suddenly broadened in the venue, and he was also full of tricks...
He understood it all, but when he saw With Kitagawa Yusuke's inexplicably calm face, seeing the messy piles in the studio, all of which were carefully practiced, he couldn't help but feel weak.
Thinking of that phone call, the other party jokingly offered to help him solve the problem of the building completely, but he had even had murderous intentions at that time, and was ready to make all the stakeholders who built the building invisible to the opening ceremony. In preparation for the sun, the purpose of this phone call is self-evident.
"Today's young people... it's up to you."
Ruyue Fengshui's figure disappeared into the light as the elevator door closed, and the venue fell into darkness again.
Now, there are still passengers from the last elevator, such as Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan Haibara Ai. They only need to take the last elevator. The remaining people should follow the police to escape. The channel left.
"Police Department, we have checked and found that several people at the scene were mentally disturbed, and there are also a few people who are still unable to speak normally, but overall they have not been physically harmed." Several policemen He hurried to the waiting Mumu Shisan and reported the situation, "We are ready to evacuate."
In order to maintain order and avoid rescue problems, they did not rush to evacuate because of the emergency. Instead, they were very experienced in arranging the crowd into groups and confirmed that no one was unable to move before officially preparing to leave.
After waiting for a long time, Hidehiko Kazama breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone!" He turned on the flashlight in his hand and said loudly, "Please follow me, let's take the escape passage and go downstairs. Pay attention to your steps, please don't panic, and take care of other people around you..."
While he kept giving instructions, Tangze lowered his head and looked at the crutch in his hand.
After only a few fumbles, he found the switch of the crutch, and without any surprise, he pulled out a snow-white sharp blade.
As expected, Ruyue Fengshui will not be aimless.
