Following Ryuto's request, Hiyori did not proceed directly once she reached the eighth floor. Instead, she jumped onto the ventilation shaft above and climbed up another level. Although she didn't fully understand, she still followed the instructions.
Continuing straight ahead, Hiyori didn't encounter any guards and soon arrived at a huge metal door, beside which was a numeric keypad.
"Is this the vault?"
"Yes, connect your phone and the socket below the numeric keypad with a USB cable."
"The socket?"
Although she didn't understand, Hiyori still did as instructed. Fortunately, Ryuto's instructions were clear, so she didn't encounter any problems.
"What's next?"
"I'll handle it. Just wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the display screen on the numeric keypad started to flicker violently, showing a bunch of incomprehensible symbols. After ten or so seconds, the sound of a click could be heard, and the metal door automatically opened.
Although Hiyori didn't fully understand, she was amazed and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ryuto-sama is amazing!"
"Enough talking, we don't have much time left."
"Okay."
They then entered the room directly.
"Hiyori, open the camera on your phone and let me see inside."
"The camera?"
Hiyori tilted her head again.
"That one."
"Oh, I see."
It suddenly dawned on her.
"Why can I understand all of this for no reason?"
Ryuto couldn't help but comment on Hiyori's reaction.
Anyway, they finally managed to open the camera, though it was tiring.
Through the camera, Ryuto saw what the vault looked like, filled with all kinds of boxes.
"Well, despite making the vault sound so grand, it's just the police station's vault. Apart from the door, everything inside is pretty much the same as a regular room, although the value of the things inside is different."
Just as Ryuto sighed, Hiyori had already opened a box by herself and picked up a bag filled with white powder from inside.
"Ryuto-sama, what is this?"
"Hey, isn't this cocaine? By the way, don't touch it randomly, we're not here to play around."
"Oh."
Although Hiyori's response was a bit deflated, Ryuto didn't have much spare time.
"Anyway, let's look for anything suspicious."
"Suspicious things?"
Hiyori mumbled as she looked around, then suddenly walked towards a box in the distance.
"What's this?"
She asked Ryuto again.
"I said we're not here to play... Ah, isn't that a bomb?"
My goodness, this child is too terrifying. She's spot on when finding bombs. In that case, should I take Hiyori to buy lottery tickets tomorrow?
Ryuto made up his mind in his heart.
But Hiyori didn't seem to care much about this modern dangerous item.
"Is this really a bomb?"
"Yeah, turn it around and look at the time on top."
"Turn it around?"
As she said that, she flipped the side that displayed the time, and then...
"Ryuto-sama, what does the two minutes on it mean?"
She could understand the two minutes but didn't grasp the meaning of the time reaching zero. Her eyes were so innocent and blinded by a dazzling light. How pure is this child? Jesus, forgive me for my despicable thoughts about using this child to make money.
"Well... never mind that for now. Let's dismantle the lid first."
"Oh."
After dismantling the lid, Hiyori was faced with a dense network of wires.
"Well... I thought there might be a way to disarm the bomb if I look at it, but it seems like I'm still too young."
"Huh?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. There should be something else on here. Never mind, let's close the lid for now."
"What else?"
Saying that, Hiyori closed the lid and started fiddling with the bomb in front of her.
Suddenly, something flew past her eyes."Wait."
"What?"
"Turn back."
"Turn back?"
"Yes, right here."
After the spinning stopped, Ryuto finally saw clearly what was written on the side of the bomb in black pen.
"The next bomb is located in the third floor women's restroom of the city department store."
Reading it out loud, why is it the women's restroom? Is it... gender discrimination?
"This is the location of the next bomb, right?"
"...Hmm, well, for now let's pick up the bomb and run."
"Okay."
Saying that, Hiyori picked up the bomb and retraced their steps.
"Now where do we go?"
"Based on the time, the people downstairs should all be coming up now, so let's go straight to the rooftop, which is the 10th floor."
"What about this bomb?"
"Since we can't dismantle it, we can only find a way to detonate it."
"Detonate? So that's why we're going to the rooftop?"
To this, Ryuto could only sigh helplessly.
"Well, after all, there's nowhere else to go."
"I found it, right there."
Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind, and with the voice, more than a dozen people rushed out from behind.
"Don't run, stop."
Who would listen obediently and stop? Please, can we stop using this cliche?
In this way, maintaining the fugitive state, Hiyori ran straight to the rooftop.
Once on the rooftop, the helicopter's lights found them, and it seemed that there were also several people lurking there, probably coming up by the helicopter.
As a result, naturally, Hiyori was forced to the edge of the rooftop by the crowd.
"Hehe, let's see where you can run now, just accept your fate."
Where did the director, who appeared out of nowhere, have such a loud voice declaring victory? Didn't you just faint earlier? This speed of recovery is astounding.
