I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 517 Bungee Jumping and Shooting (1st Update)
Shiraishi walked through the smoke-filled corridor of the 49th floor, surrounded by shrill alarms and falling debris and dust from the ceiling.

He squinted and vaguely saw Eri Kisaki standing with a young woman in front of a heavy metal door.

The woman, her face streaked with tears, pounded desperately on the door.

"Please! Help me! My boyfriend is still inside!" The woman rushed over to grab Shiraishi Ei's arm as soon as she saw him, her eyes full of pleading.

From inside the door, a man's hysterical scream came: "Help! I'm the company president! If you get me out of here, I'll give you 100 million yen! No, 200 million!!"

Eri Kisaki didn't agree immediately. Instead, she turned to Emi Shiraishi with a serious expression: "Can you help her?"

“I’ll give it a try.” Shiraishi E said, gesturing for the two girls to step aside, then took two steps forward and kicked the door hard—“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

However, the metal door remained completely still, without even a dent.

He frowned, reached out and touched the edge of the door frame, and immediately understood: "This is a blast door; there's no way to break it open by force."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately broke down: "Impossible! There must be a way! Please, please try again!"

Shiraishi E had no intention of revealing her hand to a complete stranger.

He shook his head: "This door is beyond saving, even explosives might not be able to blow it open. You should find a new boyfriend."

The man inside the door instantly flew into a rage: "You bastard! What are you saying? Are you even human?"

Eri Kisaki sighed and said, "It's not that we don't want to save them, it's that we're truly powerless to do so!"

"Then you guys figure something out!!" The man pounded on the door frantically from inside. "Go find tools! Go find the firefighters! Hurry up!!"

Just then, the entire building shook violently again, and a deafening explosion was heard in the distance, with chunks of concrete crashing down from the ceiling.

A piece of gravel fell straight down on Eri Kisaki's head, but Shiraishi E reacted quickly and pulled her into her arms, narrowly avoiding it.

Still shaken, Eri looked up at the ceiling, forcing herself to calm down, and urged again, "Miss, it will be too late if we don't leave now!"

But the woman gripped the doorknob tightly, shaking her head hysterically: "No! I won't leave! I want to wait for him to come out!"

Seeing this, Eri Kisaki sighed, took Shiraishi E's hand, and said, "Let's go, we can't help him."

Shiraishi E was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Kisaki Eri would be so rational as to choose to give up directly!

Seeing someone in distress and rushing to help immediately is a sign of inherent kindness.

Knowing that he couldn't help and was in danger, he decisively chose to withdraw. This shows maturity and rationality!

How could a kind-hearted, mature, and rational woman not live a good life?

As Shiraishi E remarked, she let Kisaki Eri pull her towards the emergency exit.

However, they had only run a few steps when they heard the woman's heart-wrenching curses behind them: "You two cold-blooded bastards! You left me to die! You'll all die a horrible death!!"

Shiraishi E paused, turning back involuntarily: "Huh? We risked our lives to help, and we get cursed?"

Eri pulled him along as they continued running, her tone calm: "Don't take it to heart. Once you meet more people, you'll find that this kind of thing is quite common... You'll get used to it."

"Besides, after she scolded me like that, I could leave with a clear conscience."

Shiraishi E smiled and said, "That makes sense."

As he spoke, he bought a C4 bomb from the bandit shop, intending to blow up this despicable bastard.

At this moment——

Boom——! !

Another earth-shattering explosion occurred, and the entire floor shook violently.

Behind them, the ceiling collapsed with a deafening roar, and a huge block of concrete crashed directly onto where the woman was standing. The screams stopped abruptly.

Shiraishi E glanced back, a slight smile playing on her lips: "What goes around comes around."

Now he doesn't need to throw C4 anymore.

Eri didn't turn around, but simply hummed in agreement and pulled him along as they continued running forward.

Amidst the billowing smoke, Eri pulled Emi Shiraishi into the emergency exit, only to abruptly stop at the corner—the passage was completely blocked by collapsed concrete blocks, with twisted steel bars protruding from the rubble like menacing claws.

"Oh no!" Eri Kisaki's face turned deathly pale upon seeing this.

She said apologetically, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't acted without permission—"

"Why bring this up now?" Shiraishi interrupted her, saying, "Go to the other side; there's another emergency exit."

"Mm." Eri nodded, forcing a smile as she spoke.

The two quickly traversed the corridor filled with rubble and arrived at another safe passage.

However, when they went inside, they were shocked to find that the staircase had been blown up.

The stairwell looked as if it had been gnawed by a giant beast, with its steel frame twisted and suspended high in the air, and occasionally, pieces of gravel would fall from the broken parts.

"It's over." She staggered backward, her back bumping into Shiraishi E, and said, "We... can't escape."

"That's not necessarily true." Shiraishi E chuckled and said, "Have you ever been bungee jumping?"

"What?" Eri followed his gaze to the fire extinguisher box on the wall, her incredulous expression reflected in the red glass: "You wouldn't happen to be—"

“That’s right! We’ll use it for rappelling!” Shiraishi E had already smashed the glass and taken out the fire hose, the nylon fibers making a rustling sound in her palm.

As he wrapped the first knot around Eri Kisaki's waist, he suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, "But if you survive, Attorney Kisaki has to buy me a drink."

Eri Kisaki gazed at the approaching flames outside the window, her Adam's apple bobbing. "Sure! Drink as much as you want!"

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and took the other end of the rope, neatly tying a professional sailor's knot around the other person's waist.

The two stood at the gap in the wall torn open by the shockwave, as the wind carried sparks in.

Shiraishi E shook the rope, which she had tested for sturdiness: "Come on, you count to three, two, one."

"Three—" Eri Kisaki had just opened her mouth when Eri Shiraishi grabbed her waist and jumped down.

The moment the feeling of weightlessness hit, her uncontrollable screams mingled with someone's loud laughter and drifted into the night sky.

Just as the two of them were rapidly descending, several gunshots suddenly rang out from the building opposite!

The bullet traveled two or three hundred meters and accurately hit the fire hose.

The fire hose was pierced by a bullet hole.

As the bullet holes fell, the force of gravity gradually opened the fire hoses.

"!!!" Shiraishi E heard gunshots and felt the fire hose being torn apart.

He immediately turned his head to look at the gunman across the building.

A woman, a short-haired woman!
If he were alone, he would not hesitate to retaliate.

But with Eri Kisaki beside him, he had to hold her with one arm and grab the fire hose with the other, so he simply couldn't free up his hands.

Shiraishi E squinted, trying hard to remember the other person's appearance.

The most urgent task is to find a way to save ourselves!
