"You mean the elevator is coming up?"
"Yes, yes! All four elevators are up! Boss! What should we do?!" The terrorist's tone was still filled with uncontrollable panic.
You can't blame him for that.
After all, before today he was just an ordinary gangster, and he came here because Kazuo Ohkouchi said he could lead them to do a "big business".
There are many people like him among the people in Nanye. They are usually OK at scaring the old, weak, women and children on the street with a knife, but if they are asked to pick up a gun and fight those people, they will be weak immediately.
Among them, the eight people who originally stayed on the first floor were all mercenary comrades of Chief Nishiba Toriyama abroad. It was said that they had actually been to the battlefield and could hold and shoot guns.
As a result, the entire process from the time these eight tough guys reported the situation to Ohkouchi and Kuma to when they confirmed the annihilation of their entire army took less than five minutes.
The silver-haired woman who knocked the eight of them down was most likely coming towards them in the elevator.
The little gangsters are really weak.
The eight tough guys on the first floor all knelt down immediately, so wouldn’t these show-offs be caught and killed?
If they had known that the silver-haired woman would take the elevator, they should have gone to guard the stairs...
If the gangsters were not afraid of Kazuo Ohkouchi's punishment, and hadn't had that little bit of hope in their hearts, they would have wanted to run away long ago.
"You guys continue to stay there! I'll send people over for support right away!" After a brief thought, Kazuo Ohkouchi quickly gave the order.
The four elevators started rising at the same time. It was obvious that this was a trick played by the silver-haired woman to disrupt their vision.
In fact, Kazuo Ohkouchi was not sure whether there was anyone in these four elevators. Even if there was, he was not sure which elevator the person would be in.
But he got the most important point.
That is, no matter what tricks the silver-haired woman plays, her ultimate goal will only be the director's studio here.
As long as he gathered all the people on this floor, he could gather the greatest strength and wait for the opportunity to strike.
No matter how powerful you are, we have so many people here who can support each other at any time. What can you do alone?
By then, as long as they can block the silver-haired woman in the corridor, they can kill her even if they shoot randomly with their eyes closed!
Ms. Lilac, it will only take a moment to complete the task you assigned to me!
"Boss! The elevator stopped!"
Just when Kazuo Ohkouchi was feeling proud of his absolutely unsolvable conspiracy, the terrorist's voice was heard again on the intercom.
"All four elevators have stopped! None of them have reached the 24th floor! Nineteen, 20, twenty-one, and twenty-two, they stopped at these four different floors!" the terrorist said hurriedly.
"What did you say?" Kazuo Ohkouchi, who had just been proud of his plan, was now full of doubts.
what's the situation?
Why did it stop at four different floors?
Even if it was a trick to distract people's attention, wouldn't it be a bit too much? Could it be that the silver-haired woman was really in the elevator?
Kazuo Okouchi was a little confused.
According to his speculation, there was a high probability that the silver-haired woman was not in the elevator, and she deliberately raised and lowered the elevator just to disrupt his arrangements and distract the guards around him.
If it was just for this purpose, there would be no need for the silver-haired woman to set up different floors for the four elevators.
This kind of method... Could it be that she really had hidden in one of the elevators before?
Kazuo Okochi's guess was half right.
Because Shirakawa Jing really borrowed an elevator to help her quickly reach the 24th floor. After all, for such a high floor, walking up the stairs alone would be really tiring and time-consuming. Taking the elevator is indeed the best choice.
But the reason why Kazuo Ohkouchi was only half right was that the way Shirakawa took the elevator was slightly different from normal circumstances.
She was on the elevator.
It's right above the elevator that stops on the 22nd floor.
In the pitch-black elevator space, Bai Hejing pulled the traction rope in the center of the elevator and climbed up little by little. When she reached the elevator hall door on the 23rd floor, she took out the crowbar that she had prepared on her back, pried open the hall door, and then jumped out.
At this time, the 23rd floor of Nanye was empty. Under the order of Kazuo Ohkouchi, the terrorists had all gathered on the 24th floor.
Well, perhaps some of them would be attracted by her little tricks and go to the twenty-two floors below.
But no matter what the situation was, there was indeed no one on the 23rd floor, at least not in front of the elevator.
Shirakawa Jing took off her gloves, dusted off her body, then took down the suitcase that she had previously carried on her back with a rope, and walked quickly into the corridor.
She remembered that the location of the director's room on the twenty-fourth floor... should be in this direction.
Chapter 310 A Moment of Trance
Shirakawa Jing's original purpose was actually to attract all the terrorists in the Nanye Building and then eliminate them one by one to buy time for her to evacuate after the rescue. This method is relatively speaking the method that can rescue the most people.
But what she didn't expect was that Kazuo Ohkouchi would be so cowardly. After she took care of the guards on the first floor, he directly gathered all the remaining terrorists in the building to the 24th floor.
It was clear that he was determined not to take any risks and would fight her to the end.
This made Bai Hejing feel helpless.
Although she believed that she was better at fighting than the average person, she was still a human being after all, and would die if hit in a vital part by a bullet.
As for the eight people on the first floor, she used some tricks to mobilize them one by one, and then defeated them one by one. It was not a real head-on attack of eight.
If all these terrorists gathered on one floor and refused to move, it would really give her a headache.
Of course, it was just a headache. For Shirakawa Shizuka, these arrangements made by Okouchi Kazuo only affected her goal of trying to rescue everyone, but had no effect on her goal of rescuing Suzuki Ayako.
But she would give up on everyone else in the studio.
Bai Hejing didn't feel any burden about this because she didn't owe these people anything.
She had squeezed out time to come back and save Suzuki Ayako before her mission. If possible, she would indeed choose to save the rest of the people as well. This was also the reason why she wanted to eliminate as many terrorists as possible in the first place.
But under the current circumstances, this is obviously no longer possible.
Beiye has more important people waiting for her to rescue, and she has no time to waste here.
In the empty corridor, Bai Hejing, carrying a suitcase, walked quickly to a room and opened the door. She walked straight to the innermost window in the room, opened it, and looked upwards.
[It is here.]
Seeing the familiar curtains in the window of the floor above, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
This curtain is the one used to cover the windows in the director's room.
Directly above the room she is in now is the director's room on the 24th floor where everyone is, and Ohkouchi and Kuma are also here.
[It should be at this location...]
Back in the room, Bai Hejing walked to a corner of the room according to the layout of the director's room in her memory.
She squatted down, opened the briefcase, took out a suitable piece of C4 explosives, inserted the detonator, tied it with tape and stuck it to the ceiling above her head.
After doing all this, Bai Hejing took out the only small pistol in the suitcase and loaded the magazine.
Although she did not have a sniper rifle in the underground parking lot, Bai Hejing actually brought a small pistol.
She didn't use it before because she thought a dagger was more convenient than a pistol. Even if she had to use it, she could ask the terrorists to provide it for her.
But the situation is different now. The upcoming battle requires very high accuracy of the gun. She doesn't want any accidents to happen. Moreover, in such close-range shooting, she actually prefers to use a pistol rather than a submachine gun.
After loading the magazine, Shirakawa Jing picked up the rope gun.
But she did not stand up immediately. Instead, she remained in a half-squatting position, looking down at the suitcase in front of her.
She seemed to be distracted suddenly, and her eyes gradually lost focus.
【sorry……】
The bloody memories kept flashing through her mind, causing her originally very steady breathing to suddenly become rapid.
Suddenly, she seemed to see the scene of Suzuki Ayako being killed in front of her.
"Calm down, calm down..."
Coming back to her senses instantly, Bai Hejing quickly raised her hands and pinched both sides of her cheeks, her chest heaving violently.
"Don't think too much, you won't make this mistake again, calm down..."
She took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions that were almost out of control, and quickly stood up, trying to restore her face to its usual expressionless look.
[This is the second time today.]
"Huh, hurry up, it's time to act."
She let out a long breath, picked up the remote detonator from the suitcase, turned to face the window of the room, jumped out of the window with an acceleration, turned quickly in mid-air, raised the rope gun in her hand, and pulled the trigger towards the window of the director's room on the 24th floor.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the window glass was shattered without any suspense, and the claws tightly grasped the window frame below.
With the help of the pulling force of the contraction of the rope gun, Bai Hejing climbed up quickly, put her feet on the outer wall under the window, and stabilized her body.
Of course, her actions could not be hidden from the people in the broadcast room.
At the moment the rope gun shattered the window, all the terrorists in the director's room heard the sound.
"Chief Ohkouchi?"
Hearing the sound of breaking glass behind the curtain, the terrorists in the room looked at Ohnogi Kazuo almost at the same time.
Kazuo Ohkouchi's face was full of confusion.
What's going on? Did a bird break the window?
Although he was confused, he never thought that the window was broken by someone.
It's not just because no bullets were fired into the room, but more importantly because this is the 24th floor.
Of course, out of caution, Kazuo Ohkouchi did not go forward directly to confirm the situation.
"You, go over and take a look."
Kazuo Ohkouchi randomly picked a person from the hostage crowd and pointed towards the window.
The one he chose was Suzuki Ayako, who looked gentle at first glance, had no tough aura, and seemed easy to bully.
Suzuki Ayako was stunned for a moment, but did not resist. She stood up silently and walked towards the window behind the curtain where the sound came from.
"Hmph, a grown man is still so worried." Hattori Heiji suddenly spoke sarcastically.
