Chapter 165 The crisis still exists
Chapter 166 The crisis still exists
"Xiaoxun, Xiaoxun... wake up... no... fast..."

I don't know how long it took, but I heard anxious shouts next to my ears. The voices were confused and chaotic. It seemed very far away from me, but also very close to me. I opened my eyes and saw a hazy scene. It seemed that the whole world was spinning. I couldn't see anything clearly.

What happened to me? Waves of dizziness kept invading my brain. I really wanted to sleep for a while. I was about to open my eyes, but they closed again because of the cover of sleepiness.

"Xiaoxun! Don't sleep! Please don't fall asleep! Wake up quickly!"

hum! ! !
The next second, a thunderbolt-like voice fell into my ears. I recognized that voice, it was Xiaolan's voice. My eyes that were about to close suddenly opened, and I met Xiaolan's lavender eyes. Those beautiful eyes were now filled with tears and full of worry and fear.

"Xiao Lan... Ugh!!!" I was halfway through my words when the intense pain from all parts of my body woke me up instantly, and my thoughts went back to the moment before the explosion.

Yes, the sudden explosion caught me off guard. In a panic, I only remembered to push Xiaolan out of the danger zone, but I was crushed by the falling rocks. Because of the hit on the head, this young body could not withstand the test, so I fainted.

"Wow... Great, Xiaoxun, you're okay." Xiaolan kept wiping her tears. Due to the explosion, Xiaolan's face was covered with dust. Even her clothes were torn. While wiping her tears, I also noticed that there were tiny traces of blood on Xiaolan's fingers, probably because she was trying to save me from the rocks.

"Ah, Sister Xiaolan, I'm sorry to have worried you." I tried my best to give Xiaolan a smile. Just as I was about to stand up, a pain like a thunderbolt penetrated my body. Only then did I remember that I must have suffered serious injuries.

"Xiaoxun, how are you? Where does it hurt? Can you sit up?" Seeing my painful expression, Xiaolan panicked.

"Ah, I may not be able to sit up." I showed a hint of helplessness. "Sister Xiaolan, can you help me up, please, but please be slow."

"Oh, okay. Xiaoxun, please tell me if it hurts."

"Ah."

After that, Xiaolan stretched her hand through my neck and helped me sit up little by little. During this slow process, I began to stretch my body. When I sat up straight, I found that I didn't feel any special pain during the whole process, which means that my spine was not injured. I also breathed a sigh of relief. After sitting firmly, I began to try to move my limbs. My left hand can still move freely. Although there are some bruises on it, it does not affect the movement. The right arm is not optimistic. It can't move from the shoulder. I pinched it gently and found that the bone was not broken. It was probably dislocated. But in the current situation, it is difficult for me to connect the shoulder by myself, even if I ask Xiaolan to help... Forget it, Xiaolan can't do it in this situation. I'd better wait until I recover my strength and then connect it myself.

Ignoring my shoulder, I looked at my legs. Tsk... My left ankle was swollen, and my right calf had a deep cut. But Xiaolan had bandaged it with a handkerchief. This kind of injury was even worse than the one I had in the fight with Hunshang a few days ago. But fortunately, at least my bones were not broken. I believe my body will recover after a period of rest. But the current situation... I guess I am no different from a useless person. I can't even stand up.

"Xiaoxun, how do you feel?" Xiaolan looked at me shaking my head and smiling bitterly, and asked quickly.

"Well, I'm fine, Sister Xiaolan, but I may not be able to move freely in the short term." I said. "Let's not talk about this, Sister Xiaolan, how are you doing now?"

"This... I don't know either." Xiaolan was relieved when she saw that I was fine and began to explain the current situation to me.

"Just now, for some reason, the whole building suddenly exploded. Just now, there were bursts of explosions coming from the bottom of the building." Xiaolan looked at the collapsed wall and the deformed gate with some fear. "I'm sorry, Xiaoxun, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't..."

"It's okay, Sister Xiaolan. I'm fine here now." Seeing Xiaolan about to cry again, I hurriedly tried to comfort her. "The most important thing now is to find a way to leave here as soon as possible. From what you just said, the explosions will probably continue."

"Well, but this place is now blocked by collapsed rubble, and the door is completely deformed by the explosion. I can't push it open at all." Xiaolan frowned. "Xiaoxun... We are trapped here."

"...It's okay, there is a way, but it will take some time, I need to recover." I frowned slightly. Now Xiaolan and I, as well as the people trapped here, total about ten people. If we gather all the people here to push the door... Forget it, people now don't have the mood to do so, fear has filled their hearts. And even if they do, after pushing the door open, no one knows what is behind it. If there is still a ruin behind, the people here will become chaotic. Using the button bomb in my necklace is not a good choice. After all, the building has become extremely fragile now, and the door is located on a load-bearing wall. I can't predict what consequences the next bomb will cause, so I can't take the risk.

Ding-a-ling... Ding-a-ling...

Just when I was still thinking about how to get out of here, Xiaolan's cell phone rang. When she picked up the phone, it was Kudo's voice on the other end.

"Xiaolan, it's me!"

"Shinichi?!" Xiaolan was surprised.

"Huh... That's great, the signal is not blocked." Kudo breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you talking about? Why are you always not here at the critical moment? It's always like this... Do you know what's happening to me now?" After receiving Kudo's call, Xiaolan seemed to have found an outlet to vent her fear and grievance, and tears were about to fall.

"Ah... Of course I know." Kudo's voice sounded very weak. "I am now blocked by the rubble at the emergency exit. I wanted to push the door open, but the power of the explosion has deformed the entire door. No matter what method I use, I can't push it open." Kudo asked while panting.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

"Well, I'm fine, but Xiaoxun..."

"Kaoru? What happened to him?"

"Eh? Do you know Xiaoxun?" Xiaolan asked puzzled.

"Ah... well, my mom brought that kid to my house to play a while ago, so we got to know each other." Kudo made up a story hastily. "Let's not talk about that. How is he now?"

"Xiao Xun... He was buried in the rubble when he tried to save me during the explosion. But he's awake now, but his foot is injured and he can't move at all. Shinichi... What should we do?"

"Is that so? Xiaolan, give the phone to Xun first, and then you look around the lobby for any suspicious items like briefcases or suitcases." "Suspicious items? Okay, I get it." Xiaolan handed me the phone and started searching the lobby.

"Xun, are you okay?" Conan asked me hurriedly when he knew I had answered the phone.

"Ah, he's still alive, but his foot is sprained, his shoulder is dislocated, and his only usable hand is shaking. He won't be able to move freely for a while." I said calmly, as if the injuries were not his own. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a way to get us out of here first. You should have a firefighter with you, right?"

"...I'm sorry, I came in alone, and the intersection just now collapsed in the explosion. Now I'm trapped on this side of the door just like you." Conan apologized. "But I have caught the criminal, Moriya Teiji. And according to him, the last bomb in the Beika Building is in the hall where you are now."

"Tsk... Is it Sengudiji?" I shook my head helplessly. If I had chosen to accept that B-rank mission, I might not be so embarrassed now. "Ah, I've seen Xiaolan coming over with a big bag of things. Use your bow tie to change your voice to Kudo. Be careful not to be exposed."

"Ah, I see." As he spoke, Conan had already started using the bow tie. "Kaoru, can you defuse that bomb?"

"If I am allowed to rest for a while, I should be able to reattach my shoulder by myself. However... it will take at least thirty minutes for me to recover my strength and trembling left hand, and I must also be given time to defuse the bomb. In other words... forget it, the timer still has thirty-seven minutes." Looking at the timer on the box in the bag that Xiaolan brought, I shook my head helplessly and gave up thinking.

"

"...How can it be repaired!" Conan slammed the door hard from the other side.

"Shinichi, I found a very heavy handbag." Xiaolan responded after taking the phone back from me.

"Be careful, Lan, that's a bomb! Be sure to handle it with care!"

"Eh?! A bomb?"

"Wow!!!"

"bomb!"

"don't want!!!"

Just one word made the people around him stay away as if they had seen the devil. Oh, yes, if the bomb really exploded, then the people here would really go to heaven or hell.

"Then... Shinichi, what should I do?" Xiaolan looked at the reactions of the people around her, and then said worriedly into the phone.

"Ah, let me think about it." Kudo frowned. I thought Kaoru could easily defuse the bomb over there. But in his current situation, he couldn't operate it with one hand. The slightest deviation would lead to a disaster. Damn, he clearly got the design drawings...

"Oh, the design!" Kudo suddenly realized and took out the design from his pocket. He took a photo of it with his mobile phone and sent it to Xiaolan.

"Lan, did you receive the message?"

"Eh? Yeah." Xiaolan took the phone away from her ear and saw the message displayed on the screen.

"Okay, now take the phone, bring Xun... bring Xiaoxun to the door where I am. Put the phone on speaker for Xiaoxun, and bring the bomb over here as well. Remember, be careful."

"Oh, okay." Xiaolan put down the phone, picked me up, walked to the door first, and then ran back to where we were just now.

"Kaoru...is it okay to do this?" Conan asked me in a low voice after hearing the sound of Xiaolan running away on the phone.

"Ah, this is the only way to do it now." I looked through the structure of the bomb on my phone. "You explain the structure of the bomb, I'll be in charge of supervision, and let Xiaolan do the bomb disposal! This is the only way now!"

"I'm sorry, if I had discovered what happened to Teiji Moritani earlier, you wouldn't be in this crisis now." Conan blamed himself.

"No, the responsibility is mine." I said self-deprecatingly. "If I hadn't been soft-hearted then..."

"Eh? What do you mean by soft?"

"No, nothing." I said calmly. "No more talking, Xiaolan is back. Let's start."

"what."

"Xiao Xun, Shinichi, what are you talking about?" Xiaolan asked us while mentioning the bomb.

"Lan, listen carefully... Next, I need you to defuse the bomb!"

"...Eh?"

　Phew... There was no rest during the National Day... We were not at home afterwards... Is it because everyone has a holiday during the National Day so they all rush to get married together... Damn, the money for gifts is gone... How can I live next month...
