Conan: The Mechanic - Chapter 1054

After only a slight tremor for two or three seconds, the earth became calm again.

“It startled me,” Shiho, who was standing on the ground with the help of Chiba, turned over from Chiba’s back, and finally relaxed his nervous expression. “I thought–“

Before the words were finished, the earth trembled in an even crazier way.

At 5:46:58, the sky and the earth turned pale and the earth shook.

This is the first time Chiba has faced an earthquake of this magnitude – at first, he just leaned down, trying to stabilize his center of gravity. With the intensification of the shock, he could no longer maintain his balance and fell to the ground. “Shiho, hold on to me! Don’t let go!”

“What’s going on here?” Shiho’s drunkenness almost woke him up in an instant. “An earthquake?”

“Obviously, but it’s too big!”

“Are we going to stay away from the building—” Before he could finish speaking, Shiho felt the road under his feet suddenly rise, and his body, which had not fully recovered, couldn’t respond, and fell to his knees. “what!”

The tremors of the earth continued, and the originally solid asphalt road was also torn apart like biscuits, crisscrossed. In the end, the ground beneath the two of them seemed to be violently torn apart, creating a crack between Chiba and Shiho. The road on Shiho’s side rose up quickly, as if a deeply buried bomb had been detonated.

“Be careful!” Although she had given up her plan to stand up again, Chiba’s reaction was still quick, and she quickly pulled Shiho from the other side to the same side as her, while subconsciously protecting her in her arms.

“You—” Shibao was about to exclaim, but found that the ground under their feet also slanted to the other side, causing the two of them to embrace each other and roll on the ground—until Qianyu stretched out a leg, until the rotation is stopped.

“Don’t panic!” Qian Yu whispered to comfort the frightened Shibao. “I’m here, nothing will happen!”

“Don’t talk about that,” Shiho said in surprise as he looked at Chiba hugging him without any scruples. “You’re too—”

“Uh…” Only then did Qianyu realize her impulse for a while. But just when he wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, a loud noise not far away made both of them turn their eyes away. “Bang bang bang!”

What was making a loud noise was a section of viaduct highway not far away—if Chiba remembered correctly, this should be Kobe Line No. 3 of the Hanshin Expressway. The characteristic of this type of viaduct is that it is supported by many sturdy concrete support columns, which are fixed and spliced ​​by multiple sections of road surface.

“What’s going on?” Shiho asked nervously, looking at the voice coming from the direction of the bridge in surprise.

Before Chiyu could give an inference, the answer had already appeared.

In their eyes, a bridge column that originally supported the bridge deck cracked from a position about two meters high at the bottom without warning, and finally fell into the distance. And as if they were being dragged, the bridge pillars farther away also broke from almost the same part, and overturned together with the raised bridge deck.

“Boom!” With the overturning of the bridge column, the bridge deck that should have been fixed on the bridge column slipped out like a water cup flying out from the hands of a slipped child, and hit a farther place under the action of inertia— —In that direction, a residential area.

“Ah!!!” In the exclamations of the two, the thousands of tons of bridge decks smashed the rows of houses from the roots like a heavy hammer. Immediately afterwards, as the building structure on the ground floor was completely destroyed, the roof of the house lost its support, squeezing the living space below into ruins.

Finally, after 14 seconds of madness, the earthquake stopped. And Kobe, who was waking up from the night and preparing to stretch his muscles and bones in the new day, fell into a dead silence again.

“We…” After a few seconds of silence, Shiho, who was still in shock, tentatively asked Qianyu. “Is it safe?”

“Probably?” Qian Yu hesitated for a while, then nodded lightly. “A major earthquake with a magnitude of 6 comes down, and it is almost impossible for the aftershocks to exceed this scale. We should be safe…”

“Is that so…” Shiho’s expression suddenly relaxed, and his fatigue immediately surfaced. “Then… I’ll sleep first… I suddenly feel sleepy-after the earthquake, the hotel may not be safe. Take me to a flat and open place to rest… Please.”

Just when she said this, Chiba suddenly found herself sticking with Shiho in a very ambiguous posture. For his current status as a stranger… this is a little too close. However, Shiho did not express any dissatisfaction with this, and even held his trust in himself, and fell asleep in his arms like this.

“Hey…” Qianyu called softly twice, and after realizing that she couldn’t wake up the other party, she looked at Shibao’s sleeping face with embarrassment, feeling rather helpless.

How should I say it… Could it be that even if you are already disguised as such, you still can’t hide the natural closeness and trust that Shiho has cultivated towards him?

With a wry smile, Chiyu leaned down slightly, subconsciously trying to find Shiho’s lips to express her love, but then she stopped.

Finally, he sighed and kissed Shiho’s forehead lightly.

“I really love you…I love you very, very much. But…sorry, I can only be a deserter. I hope…we can get a better destiny in our next life.”

With that said, a text message was marked with Jibao’s mobile phone number and sent out.

……

“Ugh…” With a moan, Shiho opened his eyes weakly.

“Shiho?” Sonoko’s concerned voice came from beside her. “Great, you’re finally awake!”

“Sonoko?” Shiho turned his head slightly and looked at Sonoko who was very happy. “I… where am I?”

“It’s okay, I entrusted the car in the consortium and arranged for us to return to Tokyo urgently.” Sonoko knocked on the wall next to him. “We are now in an off-road RV used by the Suzuki consortium for the filming of the show, along the back road that has not been damaged to the nearest heliport.”

“I see, that’s how it is…” Shiho continued to look around, and he found out that it was the interior decoration of an RV. “How did you find me? Was… did he contact you?”

“Huh?” Yuanzi showed a confused expression~www.mtlnovel.com~ What nonsense are you talking about? It’s not that you texted us to tell us that you are drunk and can’t walk downstairs, let’s pick up You? “

“Ah?” Shibao was a little surprised, but he thought he was just drunk and didn’t remember it. “Then… what about the gentleman who was with you?”

What she wanted to ask was the masked man who was supposed to be with her downstairs, but Sonoko thought Shiho was asking about her boyfriend.

“Huh?” Yuanzi was stunned for a moment. “Are you saying Azhen? He said he wanted to help with rescue and disaster relief, so he stayed first – you can’t go back to Tokyo alone in your situation, otherwise I’ll stay there too.”

“Oh…” Sonoko misunderstood the identity of the person he wanted to ask, but Shiho no longer had the nature to explain, but just stared at the ornaments in the car with some lingering thoughts. “…”

………………

However, what neither Sonoko nor Shiho could have imagined was that Kyogoku was really working with a special person.

6:37 in the morning.

“One, two, get up—” With a low roar, Jinggoku Ma tried to lift up a corner of the large roof that was on the elderly female injured in the rubble.

On the other side, Chiba’s robot is raising the other corner in the same way. “Come on, don’t stand still!”

The eaves fragments, which weighed more than a ton, were lifted halfway.

“Okay, alright, pull it out!” A middle-aged couple next to her quickly helped the old woman who had regained her freedom – she was pinned down on her leg, so she didn’t need to worry too much about serious injuries. What’s more, in the current situation where there is no medical staff in place, we can only quickly rescue the injured from the rubble before making plans.
