“No—Aaaaaah!”
The numbers on the top of the phone jumped, and suddenly turned into "zero", the origin, and exploded in front of everyone's eyes.
Miyano Shiho held the phone in her hands and cried out in helplessness. She knelt on the ground in a panic, and even the guard who was supporting her was almost dragged to the ground.
The bloody dream kept flashing back in her mind. She stood on a corner of the rooftop, unable to make a sound or move, watching the butterfly melt into the grand fireworks accompanied by the sound of the bell. Kamiya Tetsu seemed to glance at her, but didn't seem to care much.
Indeed... I don't care.
Compared to others, Miyano Shiho and Kamiya Tetsuko communicated the least. They barely even met properly and were so stingy with their alone time.
Miyano Shiho knew in his heart that Kamiya Tetsuko, who was an experimental subject, would definitely not have much affection for the researchers.
From the hatred that Bermode showed towards her, it can be seen that she and even her parents had caused considerable harm to Tetsu Kamiya.
But Kamiya Tetsu didn't show anything. When Bermode asked him why he didn't hate, he just said calmly, "There's nothing to be angry about."
He didn't hate her, and even helped her save her sister out of pity. He touched her head in the empty laboratory. That was the only warmth she had felt in the organization besides her sister.
In the eyes of Liqueur, Shirley was kept by Miyanoshi, not an executioner who made profits for the organization.
This is the biggest reason why Miyano Shiho persists in the organization alone.
But now... there is nothing!
She could only watch her teacher fall and die, and could do nothing!
I'll find a place to accompany the teacher later, she thought.
Miyano Shiho tilted her head back, tears streaming down her face. Her ice-blue eyes gazed up into the dark night, trying to catch the last glimpse of the figure.
One second, two seconds...
The chestnut-haired girl suddenly felt a little stagnant.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara stood side by side on the rooftop, holding onto the railings, staring quietly at the staggering figure on the opposite side that was about to fall.
The crowd has already fled, the explosion is inevitable, and the dream has become reality.
The only variable is Morobushi Kagemitsu, but now it seems that he is still one step late.
The young man who was holding a thermos cup and throwing a tantrum on the roadside in the sunset seemed so far away at this moment, so far away that Matsuda Jinpei could not touch him even if he ran as hard as he could.
"Do you need the great Officer Matsuda to help you find someone?"
"He might be asking me for help."
Thinking of the promise he had made carelessly, Jinpei Matsuda felt like he was a joke.
Oh yes, he did save Kamiya Tetsu once, but the criminal who placed the bomb in the restaurant came for him, so Kamiya Tetsu could be said to have suffered an undeserved disaster.
"Hagi, hit me." Matsuda Jinpei said, "I promised to help him find Kamiya Akiaki, but I ended up losing his brother... I didn't even fulfill my original promise."
Hagiwara Kenji let out an "ah" sound, his eyes bloodshot, like a spark after burning out: "We are equally matched in this regard."
——Two self-righteous bastards.
Without any prelude or hesitation, he punched Matsuda Jinpei directly in the chest, with an expression that looked like laughing and crying. The latter gave him a merciless uppercut, causing him to stagger a step.
The childhood friends couldn't even tell what they were feeling at the moment. They were silent, panting, like trapped beasts with nowhere to vent their pain, able to numb their fear and guilt with the pain bit by bit.
The strong were defeated in an instant, and there were two cowards trying to avoid the future that they had already foreseen.
They rolled to the ground and twisted together, blood and tears mixed and dripped onto the gray cement floor. They vented, comforted, and scolded each other, and finally they could barely distinguish some distant sounds from their buzzing brains.
"Explosion...?"
"I'm about to fucking explode!"

21:00:00
Furuya Rei passed on the order and watched Kazami Yuuki and other police officers escort the guests downstairs, and watched Suzuki Jirokichi and his bodyguards abandon the gems and leave.
The crowd was busy, with panic and anxiety. Everyone was worried about their own life and safety, and was distressed that a good banquet had turned out like this.
"What a pity... I didn't get to see the Eye of Medusa. It's said to be so beautiful and gorgeous."
"Hey... how come there are no such things as bombs? Are the police just here to do nothing? They let dangerous people run around outside every day."
"Yeah, it feels like it's the same whether there are police or not. We can't catch anyone."
Yes, there were so many policemen, but they couldn’t even catch Angus, and they even had to ask Tetsu Kamiya to come over to protect them.
How useless...
And now, the shaky life is dancing on the edge of the rooftop, and the gorgeous firelight is waiting to come - there is no chance of salvation.
Furiya Rei stood quietly in the brightly lit banquet hall, looking at the night view outside through the transparent glass.
He was wearing a waiter's uniform, with messy blond hair and a desolation that shouldn't appear on Rei Furuya, Toru Amuro, or Nami. He was like someone suppressing the deep sea, lonely to the point of drowning.
This place is less than 20 stories away from the corridor where the bomb is installed. If an explosion occurs, the extent of the impact will all depend on the conscience of the Suzuki Group's construction.
It's dangerous anyway.
But Furuya Rei seemed to be having trouble moving forward.
He didn't want to spend his final hours crowded in the elevator with panicked guests who didn't know what was going on, like a lamb fleeing from a wolf, with his life hanging over his head and his feelings forgotten.
The migrating geese fly for a long time, get tired and lost, and want to land, but landing means leaving the flock and dying.
The bells rang and flames filled the sky. From where he was standing... he should be able to see Tetsu Kamiya falling.
Are you tired, Tetsu Kamiya?
It should be because I am tired.
The torture was too intense, the pain was beyond normal, and looking at those lifeless eyes, no one had the right to demand that Tetsu Kamiya must survive.
It can even be said that in so many years of experience, Furuya Rei has seen many ordinary people commit suicide because of trivial matters. If anyone else were to suffer the pain that Kamiya Tetsu had suffered, they would most likely have extreme emotions.
Without the existence of Akiaki Kamiya and another personality, Tetsu Kamiya was more willing to indulge in Angus's brainwashing and completely isolate himself from this world.
This fall, I guess my wish was fulfilled.
Fūya Rei's fingers twitched as he thought about the German-made Walter PPK that he had strapped to his waist at the door of the emergency room.
He was thinking, if Tetsu Kamiya wakes up, would it be possible to relieve some of the pain by letting him shoot a few times to vent his anger? Or maybe he was betting his life on God and making a flag that if Tetsu Kamiya woke up, he would shoot himself three times.
But after learning that Kamiya Tetsu was awake, Furuya Ling realized how stupid his original idea was.
His life was saved by Kamiya Tetsu, and from some perspectives, it no longer belongs to him alone. What qualifications does he have to exchange something that does not belong to him for forgiveness?
But it doesn't matter now. Kamiya Tetsu died here, and there is no room for him to be forgiven.
Let fate choose his punishment. If the explosion affects him, life or death is up to fate.
"Snap!" The unattended projection device in the hall automatically turned on, clearly projecting everything outside onto the big screen.
Furiya Rei stared at the screen in a daze, as if he could make eye contact with the person on it.
The bell hasn't rung yet?

21:00:00
Zhu Fu Jingguang could no longer hear whether the bell rang or not. His ears were stinging from the intense exercise. The rapid running consumed his body, making him dizzy, with a fishy-sweet taste in his throat and a fire burning in his chest.
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't even dare to stop, for fear that the short pause of a few milliseconds would change the outcome and let the butterfly slip away from his hands.
I ran through the darkness at a height of 600 meters, determined to die. I had forgotten about the explosions and bells, and a thought came to my mind.
——Senior, I want to hold you back.
That's all.

After Edogawa Conan's phone beeped for a long time, he finally got through to the thief Kid.
In the empty exhibition hall, Kuroba Kaito was prying the glass case to take out the gemstones with a depressed look. He held the phone to his ear and said in a puzzled tone: "Little Detective Edogawa, you are not still thinking of arresting me now, are you?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Edogawa Conan shouted with a voice that was almost broken, "Where is your hang glider? Hurry up and use your hang glider to save Kamiya brother!"
"Don't worry! I can only save you if you explain it clearly!"
Kuroba Kaito was stunned when he heard the word "Kamiya". He still remembered what happened at the last gem exhibition, the guy who saved his life with one shot. Is it finally time for him to repay the favor?
At this moment, Edogawa Conan didn't care why the bell didn't ring. He shouted and roughly explained the situation.
"If you click on the bomb, it will explode, and someone will pull him down from another rooftop. Save him, please, go save him!"
"What?" Hei Yu Kuai Dou said depressedly, "But we are here now? There was no explosion. I saw people evacuating. Is this fake news?"
Conan Edogawa murmured: "Why didn't the bell ring?"
Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened. "Ah, you mean the big clock in the castle tower? I moved it back one clock!"
"It should ring at 12:01."
Conan Edogawa was almost overwhelmed by this unexpected news. The information instantly filtered through his mind, and he showed a twisted smile that was almost crying: "Great, thank you, thank you!"
"Hurry up and go out and save people now!"
“I know, I know!” Hei Yu quickly opened his pocket watch to check, hmm… there are still ten seconds.
He didn't have time to verify whether the "Eye of Medusa" was Pandora's. He put the gem in his arms and stepped on the windowsill. The cloak behind him fluttered in the night wind.
The young Thief No. 2 had no fear of heights. He pushed himself upwards and spread his wings, like a big bird, maintaining his balance as he glided toward the rooftop of another building.
