Fifteen minutes ago.
The first group of people who took the observation elevator suddenly found that the elevator had stopped. They looked up at the electronic display screen and realized that the floor it stopped on was the 66th floor. Did this mean that there were still guests seeking refuge outside?
The elevator door slowly opened. The young woman holding the baby was about to walk in, but she found that the elevator was already full. She quickly took two steps back and said embarrassedly:
"Sorry, I didn't know it was full."
The members of the Junior Detective League exchanged glances before heading out. Miyano Akemi also left the elevator, worried about the children. While her sister was incredibly reliable, she knew the organization might be hiding in the building, and as an adult, she naturally had to step in and protect them.
"Please come in!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked at the young woman and smiled.
The young woman holding the baby was a little hesitant. These children were just elementary school students. It would be inappropriate to let them stay in such a dark environment.
Seeing that the young woman was not going in, Yoshida Ayumi hurriedly said:
"It's okay. We can just take refuge in the next building via the connecting bridge on the 60th floor."
"Come in quickly, we'll see you downstairs!" said Kojima Genta with a smile.
As the young woman thanked him, the door of the observation elevator slowly closed, all the light disappeared, and only the pitch-black darkness remained. Just as the three members of the Young Detective Team tried to move forward in the dark, a ray of light was projected.
Huiyuan Ai calmly turned on the flashlight function of her watch, with a hint of helplessness in her tone:
"Really? You should have thought about it before coming down here."
"Oh right! You and Conan didn't participate in the game just now!"
"Then let's go!" Yoshida Ayumi turned around and wanted to hold Miyasaka Asami's hand, but she noticed that she had a serious look on her face and frowned. She tilted her head in confusion: "Sister Asami? What's wrong?"
Miyano Akemi had not noticed the gazes coming from the darkness when she got off the elevator, but now the vague observations made her feel a little uneasy. Could it be that her previous guess was correct and there were still members of the organization in the building?
She looked down at her sister. Even though her expression was normal, the hand that was not holding the watch was tightly clutching the hem of her skirt, a sign that she was trying hard to suppress her fear.
There are indeed organized people nearby, we must take them away from here quickly!
Miyano Akemi smiled and squatted in front of her sister. After patting her on the head, she said with a bright smile:
"Ai, give the flashlight to Ayumi. Did you sprain your ankle just now?"
Haibara Ai was taken aback when she heard this. It seemed her sister had noticed something was wrong with her. But by saying this, was she hoping to split the forces into two groups, letting the Junior Detectives retreat first?
She nodded and handed the watch to Yoshida Ayumi, and whispered in her ear:
"Yoshida, no matter what happens later, take Tsuburaya and Kojima to the 60th floor, understand?"
"Why?"
Yoshida Ayumi didn't expect Xiao Ai to say this. What did it mean? Could it be that the murderer who killed Councilman Oki and the others was nearby? She wanted to say that she wanted to stay and help, but seeing the seriousness on Xiao Ai's face, she had to swallow her thoughts and nodded vigorously.
Haibara Ai was relieved when she saw Ayumi nod. She knew the courage and sense of justice of these children, so she was worried that they would choose to turn back. She opened her arms and looked at Miyano Akemi, smiling slightly.
"Then I'll leave it to Sister Asami."
"Well, everyone, let's hurry to the 60th floor. It's safe once we pass the communication bridge."
"good!"
Miyano Akemi ran, holding Shiho in her arms. She glanced at the glass window nearby and saw someone following them. It looked like a man, but he didn't seem to notice they had noticed him, and he was still carefully following them.
Are they being so cautious because they are worried that they might have helpers?
After reaching the 65th floor through the fire escape stairs, Akemi Miyano did not choose to continue following the Junior Detective League. Instead, she ran towards the fire escape on the other side, running as high as possible to ensure the safety of the children.
She lowered her voice, buried her head in Shiho's ear, and whispered:
"Shiho, help me get the night vision glasses out of my pocket."
"I didn't expect he would prepare this for you?" Huiyuan Ai, who was staying with her sister, was obviously much more relaxed. She took out the night vision glasses and put them on her sister, then said, "Do you need me to call him?"
"I tried it when I got off the elevator just now, but there was no signal on my phone at all. That guy must have a signal jammer on him."
Haibara Ai's face darkened. If she died, she wouldn't care, but she couldn't die now no matter what.
If I die as a child, everyone around me will be implicated, and the Doctor and Kudo will not be able to survive. There are simply too many people involved.
Having made up her mind, she leaned on her sister's shoulder and took out a medicine box from her pocket. It contained a temporary antidote that was still under experimentation. Kudo had previously tested how long the drug's effect lasted, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would last for at least six hours.
Six hours is enough.
Huiyuan Ai directly took out a temporary antidote and swallowed it. She said with a firm look:
"Sister, take me to the locker room. There should be staff uniforms there."
“You just…”
"Looking like a child will only hold you back. At least I have a code name, and I have learned basic self-defense skills." Haibara Ai curled the corners of her mouth and was not afraid. If she wanted to survive, she had to face her fate, and she had to work harder for her sister.
