Chapter 720 "There Are Four Seasons"
In addition to the young detective team, there were several children from other venues and their mothers in the elevator going down.
A frightening accident happened, and everyone was uneasy. Especially when passing through the burning 40th floor, the orange-red color illuminated the glass of the observation elevator. Except for the well-informed young detective team who was still calm, the other three children were already sobbing, and they were soon absorbed by themselves. His relatives hugged him and comforted him.
Ruyue Fengshui, holding two scrolls wrapped in cotton in his arms and leaning on the railing without saying a word, seemed very lonely against the backdrop of this scene.
The three primary school students looked at each other. You pushed me, and I pushed you. Ai Ai came closer to the old man.
Ruyue Fengshui is indeed a stern person and not easy to talk to, but when facing children, he does not have a mean attitude, he just looked at them lightly, hugged the painting in his arms tightly: "What's wrong, are you scared too? It will be there in a moment, it’s okay.”
Ruyue Fengshui, who has never had a family and has no interest in family, is actually not very patient with dealing with children. He has never considered this aspect in his life planning, but Facing Kitagawa Yusuke, a rare friend among young disciples—even though their age difference is so big that it’s difficult to understand—it’s okay to say a few words of relief.
"Um, grandpa, are you holding Kitagawa's brother's painting?" Yoshida Ayumi, who was pushed out to speak, raised his head, his eyes completely focused on the scroll in his hand.
To them, Kitagawa Yusuke’s most attractive identity is that of the Phantom Thief of Hearts.
Seeing the other party handing the scroll to Ruyue Fengshui before getting into the elevator, the three of them were a little ready to make a move.
Since the Phantom Thieves took action in tonight's situation, maybe the notice letter that has disappeared until now might be hidden in these packages...
"Oh, it should be so." Kisaragi Hosui, who was looking out at the building next door, lowered his head indifferently and looked at the cloth bag in his hand, "Yusuke, this kid, is inexplicably particular in a place like this."
"Because of these two paintings. Paintings are expensive." Yoshida Ayumi thought about Kitagawa Yusuke's daily style and said matter-of-factly.
Kisaragi Fengshui raised his brows, not prepared to explain that the price Mio Tokiwa purchased from him was not high, and that he expected that something might happen tonight, so he simply didn’t bother to wait for the question, and just asked him three questions. When the two children took the message, he told them to be careful and to go down and take a look.
The three primary school students excitedly pulled out the scroll and opened it slightly, and then unfortunately found that no notices popped out.
"It's not hidden here..."
"Maybe the Phantom Thieves have dealt with those people in private. Aren't there several people kneeling on the ground crying?"
" Oh, what a pity. When we met the serial murderer last time, we should have asked him to leave some informative warning letters..."
"Actually, we can cut out the newspapers ourselves, right? Two notice cards."
"...Did you also keep them secretly? How many are there?"
"Ahem!" Ruyue Fengshui coughed twice, interrupting the children before they could no longer control their voices and other shaken passengers noticed.
No wonder Yusuke got to play with them inexplicably... After doing it for a long time, they found out his identity.
Ruyue Fengshui sighed secretly and reached out to ask for the painting back: "These two paintings are not small in size. It is better to wait until we are out of danger and go downstairs before..."
Take it over Ruyue Fengshui was about to rearrange the scrolls when his mind was slowly attracted by the content on the canvas.
This is not his painting, or at least, it is not just his painting.
The new work he handed over to Mio Tokiwa, Mt. Fuji in Spring Snow, was a work he reluctantly completed two or three months ago due to impatience due to the completion of the building. Although his name will not be lost, deep down in his heart, he will It is a shame to paint this painting that had to rely on the inner memory of Mount Fuji and barely ignore the completed building.
This framed painting is still well attached to the exquisite scroll cloth. However, above the painting, another painting is rolled up in it, covering his spring snowy mountain peaks. .
That is still Mount Fuji, but it is an extremely gorgeous Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji and the snow falling on its shoulders, reflected in different colors, are richly varied, like a time-lapse photography composed of countless photos of Mount Fuji at every moment. From early morning to dusk, and then to night, the rich colors render the cloudless sky like an aurora.
What is more eye-catching is the person in front of the mountain view, blending into the shadow of the trees in the foreground.
It was a traveler carrying a luggage, walking along the mountains and rivers, holding on to the trees, from a tall and straight boy to a rickety back.
At the end of the scroll, next to the hunched old man, stood another young man with a backpack on his back. The two supported each other and walked towards the night and the river.
Walking alone, standing alone, yet this small figure, placed in the huge mountains and rivers, is like a tiny punctuation mark, a line of tiny footnotes...
"Grandpa , Grandpa! It’s time to go!”
Seeing Ruyue Fengshui slowly turning over the painting, he just stood there and felt the slight shaking of the elevator as it stopped, and the three children were busy pulling. He picked up the hem of his kimono to remind him that it was time to leave quickly.
Ruyue Fengshui, who had regained consciousness in a daze, raised his head, just as the scroll had reached the last piece.
He saw the name written in the upper right corner at a glance.
"There are Four Seasons in Heaven" - Kisaragi Minesui Kitagawa Yusuke.
"Grandpa? Er, Mr. Kisaragi?"
"...Okay, let's go."
"Hurry up, the people behind are still waiting... Hey, grandpa, are you crying? Ahem, I'm a little choked... Yuantai, come here and support me..."
—— ——
"Your teacher is really, really powerful..." Conan's mouth twitched as he watched Kitagawa Yusuke sheathe the sharp blade in his hand, making sure that no one else noticed in the darkness. At this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief.
......Looking at the way Kitagawa Yusuke is holding the sword, the weight of the sword is probably very real.
For a long time, Mr. Ruyue was walking around with a handful of iron sticks in his hand. No wonder he always felt that the dull sound of the other person's crutch hitting the ground was a bit too much.
What kind of idea is this, wanting to smash this desecrated building with a heavy cane, or simply preparing to clear the door if the Phantom Thief of Heart doesn't do it?
"He is indeed very powerful." Tang Ze grabbed the crutch in his hand and without explaining in detail, he just replied lightly, "Actually, the teacher is also our target tonight."
Ruyue Peak Water handed this crutch to him, which has extraordinary meaning.
This not only means that he has completely given up on killing Mio Tokiwa and others, but also represents his recognition of Yusuke Kitagawa as his disciple, and it also implies that he already understands the identity of the other party.
This long knife is both concern and entrustment.
"He, then he has already..."
"Well, teacher, he looked away." Tang Ze thought of the secret treasure that was involved in the scroll and let out a breath.
That is exactly what Mount Fuji should look like when it is on the painting paper in Kisaragi Hosui's mind. But it is not only himself who appears in the painting, but also the disciples he hopes for.
When he thought that this painting was given to the Phantom Thieves by Shadow Kisaragi Fengshui himself, Karasawa felt indescribably emotional and complicated. This half-way master-disciple play like a house is almost a fake show.
It’s not bad. If you can maintain your identity as an artist, you will have many more options.
While the two were talking, another elevator went up, and the last few children and women stranded at the venue should also leave the scene.
However, when the elevator car opened, Karasawa and Conan frowned at the same time.
"Everyone, wait a minute." Conan grabbed Dr. Ali, who was about to step in, and reached out to touch the inner wall of the car slightly.
The scalding temperature almost made his brows twist into a knot.
"It's best not to take the elevator down." Tangze also touched the elevator wall and said pertinently, "The fire on the 40th floor may have spread into the elevator shaft. There is a high probability that the fire below has been ignited."
A vertical, compressed air duct has been formed. If the outer wall of the observation elevator was not made of glass after all, rather than a stronger building material, the elevator without the pressure relief valve would have brought the flames directly to this place. layer.
"Then, let's..." Dr. Ali lowered his head and looked at Conan and Haibara Ai, at a loss.
In addition to a few of them, there were two women and a child in the last elevator originally scheduled. Now it seems that the elevator can no longer be used.
However, the large force following Hidehiko Kazama who rushed to the escape ladder had already set off, and they were already one step behind in pursuit.
"Let's go!" Tang Ze bent down, picked up Haiyuan Ai around the waist, kicked off the obstructive clogs and socks on his feet, and said without hesitation, "Ladies, please break or throw away your high heels and come with me. "Dear policemen!"
The policeman who stayed behind to ensure that everyone left safely quickly understood what he meant and came over to take the other people with him.
Who knows, Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai, who were standing at the end of the crowd, suddenly ran over. One picked up Conan, and the other picked up the last child. They held it skillfully in their hands and ran forward. .
Noting each other's movements, the two of them even froze for a moment. After looking at each other's faces, their expressions gradually became serious again.
Tangze paused as he ran forward, and suddenly realized that these two were really policemen...
The top priority rescue target was snatched away by other enthusiastic citizens. The criminal policemen who were a step behind were stunned. They had to pinch Dr. Ali together and pulled him forward while he was yelling.
A group of people supported and pulled each other and ran together. The stairwell was dark even as the emergency light source failed. The only light source was the flashlight in the hands of the police.
The fire brigade surrounding the building below has set up searchlights. However, as it rises to the height of the 70th floor, the dazzling bright light is again diluted and weak. In the entire corridor, only messy lights are left. The sound of footsteps and the chaotic flashlight light, disturbed by the constant back and forth of figures.
Using this skill, Tang Ze turned his head and exchanged glances with Haihara Ai, who was hugging his neck and being held obediently.
Tangze slowly adjusted his steps, retreated to the wall without leaving a trace, retreated little by little from his position in the team, and slowly landed at the end of the crowd.
To be on the safe side, he even covered Haibara Ai with his kimono robe, quietly opened the aura concealment from the Death Card, and carefully concealed his figure.
When the last policeman's footsteps had passed him, Tang Ze slowly stopped and put down Haibara Ai.
Tang Ze silently took out a few pieces of clothing from the props column and handed them to Haihara Ai.
Taking the cloth that was a bit heavy for him now, Haiyuan Ai wanted to sigh, but considering the time constraints, he could only briefly confirm again: "Do you really want to do this? Yes, right? I'm a little overconfident."
In the past few months, she has been exercising with her sister and the members of the Phantom Thieves all day long. She is indeed much stronger than when she was in the laboratory, but this does not change her brittleness. The essence of Researcher Pi is that he has stronger physical endurance at best.
Letting her do parkour instead of Karasawa, who is physically stronger than an average adult male, is really looking down on her.
"Let's do it. If I don't see you, Gin will never reveal his position casually." Tangze pulled off the wig and turned his back, "Our purpose has always been clear."
Whether it is the existence of the Phantom Thieves or the existence of Haibara Ai, they gather here and move forward amidst fire and explosions, all in order to damage the interests of the organization as much as possible.
Now there is an opportunity to do something for Gin, and of course Karasawa cannot let it go.
"...I feel a little sorry for that guy." Haiyuan Ai sighed, then closed his eyes tightly, "Come on, I'm ready."
"He wants to see you all the time. I help him realize his dream. He should say thank you." Tang Ze chuckled twice and grabbed Haiyuan Ai's small hand with his backhand, "Okay. One, two -" < br>
Two suppressed groans sounded at the same time.
High temperature and severe pain spread, and faint white smoke rose from the darkness.
They held each other's hands tightly, clearly feeling the process of change and understanding the pain the other was experiencing at this moment. No one let out a cry of pain.
Tens of seconds later, Miyano Shiho, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly put on the skirt, panted hard, wiped the fine sweat from his face, picked up the soft clothes and poured it on the Behind him, the child's body, which was haphazardly covered by cloth, with bare feet, chased the crowd who had already gone down one level.
Hurry up, she only has 20 minutes now——!
————
“Be careful, Shade——”
The bright red laser flashed, and Xingchuan Hui, who was jumping in the air, was hit by the ray. His body suddenly froze and he slipped down.
Zhu Fu Jingguang quickly reached out and grabbed the teammate behind him before he completely slid down the escalator.
"Are you injured? Are you okay?" Zhu Fu Jingguang asked loudly amid the dense gunshots, which were like the sound of rain.
“It’s okay—” Xingchuan Hui took two breaths, regained his strength, casually covered the wound on his waist, and climbed onto the platform.
Without Noah's help, they had to rely on Tokiwa Mio's palace mechanism to fly in mid-air. Now that the master of the palace has completely fallen into madness, they have become living targets, and every move must be carried out. Be prepared to pay the price.
"Hold on for a few more minutes, and the building will collapse soon!" Miyano Akemi was busy dealing with the injuries of her teammates, not forgetting to remind everyone of the current progress, "Karasawa is preparing to transfer, we We must get out as soon as possible!"
"Damn it..." Zhu Fu Jingguang wiped away the blood marks on the side of his face that were scratched by shrapnel, grabbed the sniper in his hand, and looked down at the people below who were screaming and sirens. The "Queen of Space" who came out of Star Wars frowned.
Obviously, he has reached this point. As long as he gets past the shadow of this woman's desire and the building that is about to collapse, he can finally seize the opportunity of another confrontation and use his own rebirth to fulfill his long-cherished wish three years ago.
Do we really want to give all this pressure and expectation to this group of young people who have already made a lot of efforts for themselves and their friends...
He becomes a policeman , He worked as an undercover agent, he crawled back from the abyss of death, for, for——!
Golden light slowly lit up from his eyes, and ripple-like air waves quickly approached him. Miyano Akemi's mask Ophelia, who was about to restore Hoshikawa Teru's health, flew away. One section.
Xingchuan Hui, who was closest to him, was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right at the unobstructed metal cover, silently found a piece of railing and used it as a handle to hold on to.
Having experienced his own awakening and the awakening of his teammates, he knows that if you don't find a place to hold on at this time, you will easily be knocked out alive, because the mask user at this stage will have extremely strong explosive power, powerful enough to suppress everything. attack.
Tangze, how would you describe Tangze? Oh, the novice protection period?
