Conan was slightly stunned, then suddenly looked up.

In the smoky night sky, the Metropolitan Police Department's helicopter arrived at this moment. Although it was still some distance from the ground, the red and blue alternating flashing outline lights could be clearly seen.

If we use a police helicopter, we should be able to...

Thinking of this, Conan spoke loudly into the phone.

"The Metropolitan Police Department's helicopter is here too. You guys keep going upstairs. I'll go tell Inspector Megure that you're still upstairs. If the helicopter comes to pick you up..."

He was interrupted by Serabelle before he could finish his words.

"Then send the helicopter up, but don't forget to ask them to bring up the things I want, just in case."

Serabelle paused for a second and added.

"Remember to hurry up, otherwise we won't even have to wait for the fire to come up, as soon as the smoke comes up we'll all be dead."

In the dark emergency passage of the building, Haibara Ai watched Serabelle hang up the phone and put it down, and asked.

"What did Edogawa say?"

"He said the police helicopter was on its way."

Serabelle lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was still thinking about what she had just said on the phone.

"But it's not a big problem. As long as the helicopter can deliver what I need, we can survive."

"us?"

Huihara Ai repeated these two words.

Serabel raised her eyes and met her eyes, speaking calmly.

"Yes, it's us."

Back to the top floor, compared to the lower floor which was filled with ruins and raging fire, the banquet hall still looked peaceful and quiet, with almost no changes from when I left.

The familiar and quiet environment made the children relax a little. Now they just had to wait for the police helicopter to come and rescue them.

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi each found a place to sit down and rest. Genta was a carefree person and actually ran to the platform, opened the door of the sports car and sat in the back seat, lying in the soft sofa seat extremely comfortably.

Serabelle came to the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the banquet hall and looked down. A police helicopter had already landed near Building B. Inspector Megure seemed to be explaining something to the pilot and was preparing to take off.

Then he turned and left, walked to the end of the banquet hall, and went around the side of the stage to behind the scenes.

Behind the stage is a freight elevator, and next to the elevator is a small independent staircase that appears to lead directly to the rooftop.

Serabelle thought for a moment, then took a step forward and went up the stairs.

The staircase is not long, maybe only seven or eight steps, and there is not even a corner platform, it leads directly to the rooftop.

At the top of the stairs was an iron door. Serabelle walked to the door, grasped the door handle and turned it to open it.

The moment the door opened, the cool evening breeze from the sky rushed in.

Without having the chance to admire the magnificent night view of Mount Fuji in the distance from an altitude of more than 300 meters, Serabel noticed that on the flat ground less than ten meters in front of him, there was a half-open gasoline tank placed in an extremely abrupt location.

Behind the gasoline tank, there is a red counter flashing at a specific rhythm.

If she had to say it, Serabelle felt that the shape of the counter was a bit like... a plastic bomb.

Countdown, 1...0...

beep—

Chapter 176 Tokyo Drift!

boom--! ! !

The unprecedented explosion shook the entire building. The horrifying sound of the explosion was completely different from the previous two times for Haibara Ai and others in the banquet hall.

The first time was in the server room dozens of floors below, and they didn't hear it at all.

The second time I heard the explosion on the communication bridge on the 69th floor, which was four or five floors away from the explosion site.

This time it was directly above their heads, on the rooftop that was only separated from them by a ceiling.

It is so clear and shocking.

Even due to the shock wave generated by the explosion, the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the banquet hall all exploded in an instant, and a faint black smoke mixed with the evening breeze poured in.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, who were just randomly sitting on the edge of the stage, were shaken down, while Haibara Ai, who was sitting against the wall at the bar, had to hold on to the table to avoid falling off her chair.

Only Yuantai, perhaps because of his large weight and the fact that he was sitting in a sports car, did not even shake. He just stuck his head out of the car and looked around in fear.

"What happened? What exploded again?!"

"Cough cough..."

A coughing sound came from behind the stage curtain.

The three little ones, including Haibara Ai, turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the dusty Serabelle walking out from behind the stage with two black boxes in her hands and her mouth and nose.

The brown-haired girl immediately jumped off her chair and walked over quickly.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

"There were also bombs planted on the rooftop... and gasoline."

Serabelle said concisely.

He put the black box on the ground and opened it, looking at the spinning flying axe that had been improved by Dr. Agasa. He raised his left hand and blew on the place that was accidentally burned in the explosion just now.

"The rooftop is now a sea of ​​fire. Let alone parking the helicopter, even hovering stably is a problem."

In fact, even without him saying it, the air flow coming in from the window with a noticeable burning sensation was already proof of this.

Normally, hot air would go upwards, but they were now located below and could clearly feel the horrific heat, so they could imagine how big the fire on the rooftop was.

"Then can't we just wait until the gasoline is all burned out and the fire is out before going up?" Ayumi asked naively.

"This... I'm afraid it won't work."

Serabelle shook her head and quickly walked behind the bar where the brown-haired girl had just rested.

Since there was no one supervising him at the moment, he simply took the bottles of wine from the wine cabinet one by one.

Without the obstruction of the wine bottles, the flashing red light of the counter in the wine cabinet became more obvious.

“It’s even here.”

Huibara Ai took a deep breath.

And judging from the countdown on the counter, they had less than three minutes left.

Three minutes was obviously not enough time for the fire on the rooftop to extinguish itself, and the fire spreading from below would rise to who knows how many floors during this time.

If the smoke got thick enough, they would all be choked to death.

"So our only escape route now is..."

Serabelle did not continue speaking, but turned her gaze to the red sports car on the stand.

Yuan Tai, who had been sitting in the back seat of the sports car from the beginning, obviously didn't react. He pointed at himself blankly, and a big question mark appeared on his head that looked like a Japanese rice ball.

“…No.”

The brown-haired girl followed his gaze, did a little mental calculation, and raised her objection.

Now a question mark also appeared over Serabelle's head.

Ai Huihara pointed outside the floor-to-ceiling window at the rooftop-like open-air swimming pool on the opposite side of Building B.

"You are planning to drive directly to the swimming pool on the roof opposite, right? It is true that if the water in the swimming pool acts as a buffer, it can offset most of the impact of the fall. But the problem is that the distance between the two buildings is about 50 meters. If you want to fly over, the required path length will be about 60 meters, but the height difference is only 20 meters."

"Although objects on Earth can move at a constant speed horizontally, they will fall at a proportional speed due to gravity when falling. The calculation for falling from a height of 2 meters is t equal to the square root of s over g..."

呲——

When the brown-haired girl mentioned the calculation formula, wisps of green smoke rose from Serabelle's head.

He waved his hand to interrupt: "Say the conclusion, just say the conclusion."

"The conclusion is that the time required to fall from a height of 108 meters is two seconds, and to travel a distance of meters within two seconds, the initial velocity must reach kilometers per hour."

Haibara Ai seemed to be afraid that he didn't understand, so she paused for a moment.

"And considering the horizontal size of this banquet hall, the sports car can only accelerate to 50 to 60 mph at most within this distance. If we fly out at this speed, we will fall halfway through the flight."

Serabelle snapped her fingers to indicate that she had fully understood, then picked up the black box on the ground and turned towards the platform.

"Understood, get in the car."

ha?

Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment by his words, and after coming to her senses, she raised her voice.

"Didn't you understand what I said? If we rush out directly, we will definitely fall! Numbers don't lie!"

Well……

Upon hearing this, Serabelwen stopped and turned around.

Just then, a gust of evening breeze blew past from high in the sky, the smoke and dust outside the window dissipated, and the bright moonlight shone into the room. Huibara Ai noticed that this guy actually revealed a rare smile.

"I know that numbers don't lie, but when have I ever lied to you, Brother Sera? If I speed up and rush out directly, I will certainly fall in mid-air, but the banquet hall is so big that I can accumulate some speed by running in circles. This way, when I fly out, I should be able to reach a speed of ninety or even a hundred miles per hour."

"But what about the remaining ten yards?"

"Then make up for it with courage."

This guy said such an utterly unreasonable sentence so casually.

The brown-haired girl opened her mouth slightly, and for a moment she wondered if the former's brain had been damaged by the smoke.

What does it mean to make up for it with courage? Is this some kind of idealistic anime?

"Okay, I'm just kidding."

Serabelle shrugged to indicate that she was just joking to lighten the atmosphere, and raised the black box in her hand.

"According to Dr. Agasa, this thing can be used as a rope gun. It can extend thirty meters and pull objects within ten tons. As long as I fix the handle to the chassis and throw it out to hook the top edge of the opposite building before we fall more than twenty meters, we can successfully break into the rooftop."

"This……"

Huihara Ai was still a little hesitant.

Just then, she felt her hand being taken.

It's still Serabel.

While pulling her towards the sports car, he waved to Mitsuhiko and Ayumi.

"Since we're going to die if we stay here anyway, why not take a gamble... Well, according to my theory, there won't be any problems."

As she said that, Serabell got into the car and placed Haibara Ai in the passenger seat.

Turning the key in the ignition to start the car, he pulled out a 3.5mm audio cable from the car stereo and connected it to the headphone jack of his mobile phone.

The next second, a burst of rhythmic music resounded throughout the banquet hall.

"I wonder if you know how they live in tokyo..."

Chapter 177 Welcome to the most awesome and exciting unprotected extreme racing of this century

The scene switches to the rooftop of Tower B of the Twin Towers skyscraper.

Unlike the raging fire on the top floor of Building A which was like hell on earth, the broken and collapsed connecting bridge completely blocked the fire from spreading to Building B.

In addition, the top floor here is originally planned to be used as a hotel swimming pool in the future, so the entire rooftop is filled with rippling blue waves and cool breezes.

However, at this moment this huge amount of water resources is being used as fire-fighting facilities.

I saw several high-pressure water pipes connected to the swimming pool's water supply system. Firefighters in heat-insulating suits each held a water gun, with the muzzle of the gun pointed 45 degrees upwards to spray toward the opposite building.

This is the optimal parabola angle, which takes into account the ratio of longitudinal and lateral forces, and can allow objects to fly the farthest distance in the air.

This is true not only for the shot put we throw in school, but also for flowing liquids.

But...the distance is too far.
