Chapter 295: The sad mother is exhausted from taking care of the baby
In the Kitaya Building, Huihara Ai led the three little ones, each carrying one corner of the telescopic ladder, and walked back to the 17th floor, stopping and starting along the way.
After leaving the stairwell, Haibara Ai no longer helped to carry the ladder. She walked in front alone. When passing a corner, she would first observe the situation in the corridor. After confirming that it was safe, she would call the three little ones behind to follow.
In this way, the four of them carefully arrived under the vent without any danger.
"Haibara? Is this the place you're talking about?" Squatting under the window, Mitsuhiko looked up at the vent on the ceiling.
"Well, keep your voice down, don't get discovered." Huibara Ai replied, quietly raising her head a little and observing the situation outside the window.
The location of this corner is very good. If the architectural layout of the entire Clover Villa is centered on the North Leaf Building, then the West Leaf Building is to their southwest.
The corner where the four people are at this time is also in the southwest corner of Beiye Building, and the two are roughly in a straight line.
With the cover of this corner, the terrorists on the Xiye Building side had basically no chance of seeing them here.
In other words, Haibara Ai doesn't have to worry about being seen by the terrorists in the West Leaf Building when they set up the ladder and climb up the ventilation duct. She just needs to pay attention to the situation inside the North Leaf Building.
"It looks like we can crawl in. Then we can hide inside and wait until the police catch those terrorists before coming out..."
"This vent... It should be a bit difficult for Yuanta, right?"
"What the hell are you talking about, Mitsuhiko! I can definitely crawl in there!"
"I told you to keep your voices down! Why are you arguing again?!"
Haibara Ai withdrew her gaze from the window, turned back and glared at the three of them, scaring the three little ones so much that they immediately lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes.
"Sorry……"
"Really? I can't leave you guys alone for even a moment..."
Sighing helplessly, Huibara Ai didn't say anything else. She quickly pulled out the telescopic ladder on the floor behind them and tried to lift it.
After finding that she really couldn't lift it by herself, Huiyuan Ai looked at the three little ones who were still squatting in the corner with their heads down, and said in a calm tone:
"Come and help me. Hold the ladder up and lean it against the wall toward the vent."
"it is good!"
The three men came over quickly and helped her lift the front end of the telescopic ladder, then aimed it shakily at the vent.
"Genta, you are the strongest, go up and open the vent cover first." Haibara Ai began to command the three little ones to do things.
"Ok!"
As Haibara Ai said, Genta quickly climbed up the ladder, opened the buckle on one side of the vent cover, and then pulled it down a few times to open the cover.
"Okay, go in, one at a time."
Genta was the first to climb into the ventilation duct. After him, Mitsuhiko was the second to run up the ladder and climb in.
"Wow! It's so empty up there! Isn't the inside of the vent filled with pipes like those on TV?!"
"I told you to keep your voice down!"
"Sorry……"
Haibara Ai didn't know how many times she had said this today.
"Habara, can you help me get it?"
Ayumi on the side handed the cup of milk tea in her hand to Haibara Ai. It seemed that because Haibara Ai had been angry too many times today, she looked at Haibara Ai with some fear in her eyes.
"Okay, let's go up quickly." Helping Ayumi hold the cup of milk tea which still had most of the milk tea left, Haibara Ai spoke in a flat tone.
After Ayumi climbed up the vent with the ladder, Mitsuhiko lay on it and cried to Huibara below, "Come up quickly, Huibara."
"I know."
Without hesitation, she held the cup of milk tea in one hand and held the side of the ladder with the other hand, and also walked onto the telescopic ladder.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a huge sneeze suddenly sounded not far behind them.
Her heart tightened instantly and Huibara Ai turned around suddenly to look.
"Oh my god! Why are you sneezing at me? You want to spray me with water, right?"
Following the sneeze, a loud male curse was heard from behind the group.
Judging from the sound, it seemed to be not far behind the corner of this corridor.
"Haibara! Come up quickly!" The three people above also heard the voice and shouted softly to her who was still standing on the ladder.
Without thinking too much, Haibara Ai quickly raised her legs and wanted to continue climbing.
【There is still time. 】
She could easily climb up the vent and close the lid before the two men came over.
But after taking just one step forward, she suddenly stopped.
"Grey Yuan!"
Mitsuhiko, not knowing why she stopped again, shouted anxiously.
"Come up quickly!"
【But, what should I do with this ladder? 】
Without responding to his call, Haibara Ai suddenly became aware of the telescopic ladder under her feet.
If it is placed here so obviously, those people will definitely become suspicious.
"A-choo! Fuck! Where did this mask come from? It's a fake product. The rough edges are poking my nose!"
The voice from behind came again, and it sounded not far away.
"Haibara!" the three little ones above urged again.
"Close the lid!" Without any hesitation, Haibara Ai suddenly looked up and shouted to the three people above.
"W-what?"
The three little ones didn't seem to understand what she said at all, and they all stood there in a daze.
"But Huiyuan, you..."
"hurry up!"
There was no time to explain. Huibara Ai lowered her voice and called the three people again to wake them up. Then she quickly ran down the ladder and put the ladder back at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing her actions, the three of them shouted worriedly, "Huiyuan, what are you going to do? Those people are coming!"
"close!"
"I know, I know! Then Haibara, be careful!"
In the end, it was Mitsuhiko who reacted first. He quickly reached out and pulled the vent cover up and closed it.
After seeing this scene, Haibara Ai below turned around and ran to the corridor on the other side of the corner.
Almost at the same time, two armed terrorists walked out side by side from the corner at the other end of the corridor.
"What's up, are you sneezing again?"
Completely unaware of the movement in the opposite corner, one of the terrorists looked at his companion with disgust.
"It seems like there's something wrong... Ah, Ah, A-choo!"
"Fuck! Why the hell are you hitting me again!"
The two men walked along the corridor, quarreling and scolding each other, until they reached the corner at the front of the corridor where there was a ladder.
Both of them saw the telescopic ladder folded up and leaning against the corner at the same time, but at the same time they didn't think there was anything unusual about it. They just took a look and then looked away, turned the corner and walked in another direction.
Chapter 296 Self-rescue in progress
"A-choo! By the way...is it really necessary to patrol this building?"
In Beiye Building, among the two terrorists, the one who sneezed suddenly asked.
"Whether it's necessary or not, this is Lord Fukawa's idea. We're just sitting there doing nothing anyway, so we might as well take it as some exercise." Another terrorist replied casually.
"What should we do if we really catch someone?" asked the Sneezing Man again.
"Whatever. If you don't want to kill anyone right now, you can just take them all to the warehouse. The result will be the same anyway..."
"Is there really anyone else in this building? We have just walked around twice and didn't see a single person..."
"Hey, who knows..."
Upon hearing this, another terrorist suddenly laughed in an ambiguous manner.
"It looks like there's no one here, but there might be someone hiding behind one of these doors...like this!"
As he said this, the terrorist suddenly reached out and quickly opened a closed door next to him, and shouted loudly inside:
"Hello! Is anyone there?! We are the Liberators of Justice!"
One person in the room.
His voice echoed in the corridor for a long time.
"Well, it seems that I guessed wrong. There is no one in this room."
Not even bothering to close the door again, the terrorist shrugged, not at all surprised by the outcome.
After all, he was just bored and wanted to have some fun, and he didn't actually think that he would see someone as soon as he opened the door.
"Tsk, I thought you could really find someone in there..." The Sneezing Man started to insult him without hesitation.
"What? I'm being humorous, okay? Humor! You sneeze man..."
"What did you say? Who the hell is the Sneeze Man?!"
"Who else could be here besides me?"
The two of them continued walking forward while laughing and cursing. Neither of them arrived at the door of the room they had just entered. Huibara Ai was leaning against the wall, her face pale and her heart beating wildly.
When the terrorist opened the door just now, she almost thought she was discovered...
