Chapter 657 Vanished into Ashes



The guards on the fourth floor were also startled by their shout. They rushed to the warehouse door, trying to open it to put out the fire, but the warehouse door was a solid iron door, locked with a large padlock, and could not be opened at all.

"The gate is locked, and we don't have the key."

"Quickly report to the team leader! Only she has the key!"

After everyone recovered from their panic, several agents quickly opened the closed iron door in the corridor, but they were soon blocked at the iron door on the next floor. They had no choice but to shout loudly to get the agents inside to open the iron door.

They were initially worried that the security measures inside the building weren't tight enough, so they welded iron doors and installed layers of security measures everywhere. But now that a problem has arisen, these measures have become obstacles, causing them to scramble and panic.

At this time, the fire in the warehouse grew bigger and bigger. The bigger the fire, the more the paper fueled the fire. By this time, it had spread to six piles of legal tender. The white smoke released by the fire filled the originally compact warehouse and even obscured the light of the flames. The temperature inside the room was getting higher and higher.

Ryoko Kitaoka was resting on the second floor of the building when she heard someone calling her in her sleep. Being very alert, she sat up abruptly and reached under her pillow to pull out a pistol.

She took a few steps to the door and listened carefully. She heard shouts of "Fire!" outside. Her head spun and she broke out in a cold sweat.

He flung open the door and rushed out. Just then, an agent ran over and shouted, "Team leader, the keys! The warehouse keys! There's a fire inside!"

Upon hearing this, Kitaoka Ryoko was terrified. She rushed back to her room, grabbed her keys, and ran towards the stairs.

By the time she rushed up to the fourth floor, she could clearly feel that the temperature there was much higher. She quickly reached the warehouse door and shouted back, "Quickly prepare clean water to put out the fire!"

She quickly inserted the key and opened the lock. At that moment, several agents rushed up from behind and pushed the iron gate open with all their might.

Once the door was opened, oxygen from the outside entered the warehouse, causing the already burning fire to suddenly escalate. A huge ball of flame, carried by the oxygen, rushed towards the door, engulfing several agents in flames, and a series of heart-wrenching screams rang out.

At the same time, the windows outside the warehouse suddenly exploded with a series of cracking sounds, the glass windows shattered one after another, and a large amount of oxygen rushed into the warehouse, making the fire uncontrollable. The entire warehouse became as hot as a furnace.

At this moment, all the special agents in the building were already standing guard nearby. Ryoko Kitaoka shouted loudly, "Quickly, get water to put out the fire!"

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than a faint sound of explosions came from afar. A moment later, several agents carrying basins of water ran over and said urgently, "Team leader, the building's water supply has been cut off! We only filled half of the tank before it ran out of water!"

"What?" Kitaoka Ryoko felt her mind go blank, the world spinning around her, and her body went limp.

The warehouse is now engulfed in scorching flames, the temperature so high it could kill a person. Even if you risked your life to rush in, you would only be throwing your life away. Without water, you can only watch helplessly as the fire burns.

At this moment, the temperature around them was rising higher and higher. Kitaoka Ryoko finally gave up hope and shouted, "Quick, go and close the door! Don't let the fire spread!"

The fourth floor also houses an original banknote printing machine. The machine is enormous and took them a lot of effort to assemble and install. It cannot be disassembled or moved in a short time. If the fire spreads, even this banknote printing machine will be lost.

Upon hearing the order, several agents took off their clothes, wrapped them around their hands, and rushed forward to barely close the iron door, containing the fire inside the warehouse.

For a moment, everyone stood there dumbfounded outside the warehouse, hearing the whooshing sound of burning inside, but they were helpless. Kitaoka Ryoko, in a disheveled state, suddenly let out a scream that was so shrill it sent chills down everyone's spine. She knelt on the ground, tears of regret streaming from her eyes.

Everyone else knows that this fire has wiped out all the efforts of the past few months. The 1 billion yuan in legal tender has been destroyed, and Japanese paper experts have not yet figured out how to make legal tender paper. Even if they had completed the engraving, what use would it be?

At this moment, Huo Yueze, who was watching from a distance, looked at the raging fire through his binoculars and excitedly slapped the car door, saying happily, "It's a success! This time, all our hard work wasn't in vain!"

Just then, a squeaking sound came from outside the car door. Li Erdong quickly opened the door and there was the little monkey, who had completed its mission and was running back along the same path. Li Erdong hugged the little monkey and happily rubbed its head.

Huo Yueze reached out and patted his little head, smiling as he said, "You're our hero! Let's go, let's get out of here!"

The vehicle started and quickly disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later, Taro Sagawa and Keiji Tsuchihara, having received the news, arrived at the library building. At this time, the fire in the warehouse was still burning. Keiji Tsuchihara's eyes flashed with a fierce light, making everyone tremble with fear.

Even Taro Sagawa didn't dare to approach. Keiji Tsuchihara stepped forward, looked at Ryoko Kitaoka kneeling on the ground, and slapped her hard across the face, knocking her to the ground.

Sagawa Taro felt his eyes twitch and his lips twitch, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back.

Keiji Tsuchihara's face was deathly pale, his eyes gleaming with a sinister green light. He said fiercely, "You bunch of idiots, what happened? How could such a sealed warehouse catch fire? Who? Who can give me an explanation? How am I supposed to explain this to the officials in the Ministry of Home Affairs?"
