The 45-story connecting bridge, which he had placed high hopes on, broke even more completely this time, hanging down along the building as if it had just finished.
"Oh no, Building B is tilting this way!" Kogoro Mori, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed something was wrong.
If the two buildings collide, escaping would be a pipe dream.
"Let's take the elevator!" Inspector Megure made a quick decision.
There's no way you can get downstairs on foot in time, so you might as well take the elevator and gamble.
The situation was urgent, and Inspector Megure was the leader of this group.
As soon as he moved, everyone else followed suit.
The group moved to the sightseeing elevator again.
Fortunately, the elevator is still running stably.
"You guys go in first, I'll take this one first, Brother Mori, you're next."
Without hesitation, Inspector Megure rushed into the elevator first, pressing his legs and arms against the glass and keeping his body ramrod straight.
Oki Iwatsu, naturally not wanting to be left behind, couldn't help but sneer upon seeing this: "So this Inspector isn't unwilling to escape first, but rather afraid of heights."
Ignoring him, Inspector Megure beckoned to Ran Mouri and whispered something in her ear.
"Xiao Lan, I'll use my body to block any bullets that might come at me later."
"If I die, you will lead everyone to use my corpse as a barrier."
Ran Mouri was shocked, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Megure patted her shoulder and chuckled, "Ran, I've watched you grow up, and I know you have this courage and strength."
"Remember, you need to help your uncle stabilize the situation and get everyone out of here."
As the two were talking, everyone who was supposed to get on the elevator came up, and the doors closed quickly.
Kogoro Mouri punched the wall hard.
Having known Inspector Megure for so many years, how could he not know the other's intentions?
Inspector Megure was prepared to sacrifice himself and entrusted the remaining people to him.
However, at that moment, he suddenly realized a problem.
Where did Tokiwa Mio go?
Are you in the elevator?
Then Conan's voice suddenly rang out, "Uncle, Aunt Mio is missing! I'm going to find her!"
"Wait!" Kogoro Mouri tried to reach out to stop him, but Conan had already run far away.
He has so many ordinary people around him who have been entrusted with his life by his old friend, and he may have to make the same choice as his old friend in the future. He really can't get away from it right now.
"Why are they all such a handful!"
Tokiwa Mio, who was unconscious, didn't enter the elevator and instead ran away in the chaos.
Conan, that little kid, has been staying outside all this time without anyone noticing.
The bumbling detective silently prayed that the elevator would return safely and quickly.
The perspective shifts to Lin Che's side.
After driving a sufficient distance, Lisael saw two cars chasing her from behind, so she took out the controller and detonated the bomb.
We're probably going to be fighting non-stop from here on out, so let's get down to business first.
"Stop the car, I'll go upstairs over there and cover for you," Lin Che suddenly said, pointing in a direction.
Lissell did not hesitate and did as she was told, "I want to see what kind of people these are, and then I'll wipe them out!"
The car only slowed down, it didn't stop.
Lin Che pushed open the car door, leaped, tumbled to the ground, and headed straight for the abandoned building he had chosen.
His figure disappeared into the darkness.
They changed their faces and various outfits one by one.
Transform into Shuichi Akai and go head-to-head with Gin!
Chapter 84 Conan's Talk-no-Jutsu: Tokiwa Mio
The building has been detonated, and Lissal's mission is now complete.
The 20,000 experience points propelled Lin Che to level 13, and the settlement of favorability also showed a maximum value of 50.
Based on the existing data, Lisael's favorability rating has increased to 77.
One of the two cars behind them split up and followed, and Lin Che took care of all four people in the car without much trouble.
As your level increases, along with your practical experience in various combat and shooting skills, dealing with these four small fry is not difficult at all.
The skill points gained are used to officially upgrade [Detective Instinct].
The special effect provided at max level allows him to extend the range of his skills through tools—such as using a sniper scope to remotely see through cover or observe targets.
Lin Che quickly climbed the building and found a good sniping position.
Although he didn't hear the four organization members making any external communications, it's possible that they had already reported the situation before they caught up with him.
Therefore, he did not choose to go to the rooftop, but instead set up his sniper rifle in an empty corner window frame on the 27th floor.
This unfinished building only has a basic frame erected, and for some reason, no further construction has been carried out.
The twin towers were illegal structures, which is why they were built in the suburbs, an area with a large number of abandoned buildings.
It seems that Mio Tokiwa intends to develop the area around the twin skyscrapers into her own business park.
Lin Che adjusted the channel on his headset. "I can still see your car from here, but I can't see it any further ahead."
This is tactical equipment provided by Lisael; she certainly has a lot of resources at her disposal.
"What's the view like from that building? I'm planning to drive right downstairs," Lisa said confidently.
Lin Che glanced over there and said, "The distance is relatively close. Blind spots inside the building are unavoidable, but we can still provide support."
The building where Gin was staying was also abandoned, and the empty windows made it easy for snipers to take cover.
As he spoke, he began adjusting the various mechanical parameters of the sniper rifle, and even measured the ambient wind speed by feel on the spot.
Gunshots soon rang out from Lissal's side, apparently as they were clearing out the people who were following them.
Lin Che ignored it and continued adjusting the parameters.
Sudden.
Lisael called a halt: "Look at our masterpiece this time, the art of two colors should be about to bloom."
Lin Che glanced at the figure resembling Gin on the opposite rooftop, then hid himself in the corner, his gaze shifting to the twin towers.
The area beneath Building B was badly damaged by the bombing, and it's already tilted at an angle of nearly 20 degrees. The tilting speed will increase as it leans backward.
The pool was not filled; there wasn't enough explosives.
Lin Che estimated that if the building tilted another 10 degrees, the two-colored liquid would start to overflow from the pool and begin to react.
at the same time.
Banquet hall on the rooftop of Building A.
Dressed in a red dress, Tokiwa Mio sat there like a melancholy and wistful statue.
A gentle evening breeze made her hair dance in the wind.
Tokiwa Mio seemed to have lost all vitality, letting the wind whip her hair across her face.
She silently watched Building B tilt, her mind flashing through images of the magnificent scenes that had yet to be realized—the grand spectacle she had always dreamed of.
Now, whether it has been realized or not, it will all turn to ashes and vanish.
"Is there really nothing left to cherish?" Conan walked forward with his hands in his pockets, his voice completely devoid of childishness, replaced by maturity.
Tokiwa Mio was somewhat surprised to hear the voice, and even more surprised when she turned around. "Conan... what are you doing here?"
Conan stretched and said, "I knew you'd come here as soon as I noticed Aunt Mio was gone."
Looking down at the collapsing reality, he sighed, "Everything is destroyed. Before I die, I can take one last look at the business empire I had imagined, and then I can die without regrets."
"After all, Aunt Mio, you have given your all and done everything you could."
Tokiwa Mio pursed her lips and didn't speak, but tears were already streaming down her face through her sticky hair.
After a while, she finally spoke:
"You've come to persuade me to live, but Auntie really can't bear this pressure and suffering anymore."
"Conan, listen to me and run for your life. You still have a bright and wonderful future to experience."
Conan retorted, "Aunt Mio will also have such a future, just like this building collapsed as expected."
"How can you be so sure that the future will be bleak?"
You're really good at comforting people, bringing up the building you poured all your heart and soul into at a time like this.
Tokiwa Mio forced a smile.
"You're still young, you don't understand the troubles of adults."
As she spoke, she reminisced and poured out her heart.
"Bearing everyone's expectations, I ended up making things like this..."
Conan shook his head firmly. "But these things weren't caused by you. If we give up now, won't everyone's expectations be completely unfulfilled?"
He took Tokiwa Mio's hand and said, "Even if we take a step back, sometimes people should live for themselves. Those expectations are imposed on you by others."
"If you've tried everything and still can't achieve it, then there's nothing to blame yourself for in failure, right?"
"There's still room for redemption in this regrettable situation..."
As Conan was speaking, a vibrant red and blue color suddenly filled his vision, and the night sky was also dyed brilliantly.
Between A and B,
The red and blue liquid, like a dazzling meteor, cascaded down like a waterfall.
The two colors quickly blended and intertwined, bursting forth with even more dazzling light and heat.
next moment.
A blinding white light suddenly exploded in mid-air.
The deafening roar was like a death knell, signaling the end of the twin-tower skyscrapers.
Building A was pushed backward by the shockwave, and the sound of the steel bars and bricks in the stairwell shattering was almost inaudible, much like the unwilling cries and sobs of a dying person.
The explosion temporarily halted the collapse of Building B, and it even briefly reversed course.
Conan immediately pulled Tokiwa Mio down to lie down.
He seized the opportunity to yell at the stunned Tokiwa Mio: "One person after another has died, and the bombs on both sides are completely different."
"Such blatant targeting and manipulation, don't you want to find the mastermind behind it all and bring them to justice, to give yourself an explanation for all the hard work you've ruined?!"
He stared intently into Tokiwa Mio's eyes:
"Live!"
This time, it's for your own sake!
Tokiwa Mio was already in a state of confusion, and now she was actually swayed by Conan's persuasive words.
"But... how are we going to escape? The new explosion has caused the building to collapse backward, so even the emergency exits must have been cut off in the middle."
Conan is also in a hurry, his brain is racing while his eyes are scanning everywhere.
Suddenly, he noticed a red sports car parked on the banquet hall display stand.
"Where are the car keys?!"
Tokiwa Mio paused for a moment, then quickly rummaged through her pockets and pulled out the key. "This is the prize I was supposed to give to the winner personally at the banquet tomorrow."
Conan snatched the keys, glanced outside, and then dragged Tokiwa Mio towards the sports car.
