Chapter 112: Burning Island



Chapter 112: Burning Island

"You lose—"

As Hattori Heiji spoke, the people around him also stopped what they were doing one after another.

They looked over here with disbelief in their eyes.

Chiyoichiro, defeated!

Hattori Heiji looked at Chiyoichiro, chuckled, showing his white teeth, and said in a very angry tone: "I don't think he's that great."

I can only say that, worthy of being Hattori Heiji, he knows how to make people angry.

Suddenly, Chiyoichiro felt his blood rushing up and he actually vomited a mouthful of blood.

Hattori Heiji was startled and took a step back: "This, this is none of my business."

Oh my god, he might accidentally make someone angry to death!

Chiyoichiro pointed at Hattori Heiji with a trembling hand, unable to utter a single word for a long while. When he finally calmed down and was about to speak, he was interrupted by another anxious voice: "Oh no! There's a fire at the foot of the mountain! Run!"

Everyone also vaguely smelled the scent of fireworks. They turned their heads to look, only to see thick smoke filling the deep bamboo forest and black smoke billowing into the sky.

As the wind blew, the smoke rushed straight up and everyone's eyes began to sting.

"How is this going?"

Someone yelled in terror, and everyone lost interest in fighting. They dropped their weapons and ran out.

"Quick, let's go!"

Kogoro Mouri was surprised. He turned around, picked up Chiyo Shoma from the ground, and ran out holding Ran Mouri.

"Osaka boy, stop being dazed and take your people away!"

"He Ye!"

Hattori Heiji didn't care about the old man. He threw down the bloody sword in his hand, turned around, took Toyama Kazuha's hand, and followed the footsteps of the Mori father and daughter.

"Conan——"

While following Kogoro Mouri to the other side of the mountain, Ran Mouri turned her head to look at Conan.

However, in the vast crowd, there was no sign of the little kid.

Hattori Heiji quickly patted Mao Lilan and said hurriedly: "Don't worry about that kid, he should be with Mr. Shirakawa, let's go first."

Ran Mouri looked around and indeed did not see Conan and Shirakawa Akane. She felt a little relieved and ran out with everyone.

Everyone ran fast, but the wind fanned the flames even faster! In the blink of an eye, the bamboo forest on the back of the island became a sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, there was chaos in front of the mountain.

Conan rushed into the hotel and brought the news to the hotel owner, hoping that he would quickly notify other passengers to take emergency shelter.

At the same time, some people with life experience looked up and saw the billowing smoke that continued to gather in the sky.

"Fire! Fire!"

Suddenly, the originally peaceful island seemed to have suddenly fallen into a frying pan, and everyone was boiling with excitement.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Some people are confused, but more people are afraid.

According to the current fire situation, it is basically impossible to extinguish the fire manually with the poor fire-fighting measures on this island.

But when the whole island burns, they will all die!

The heat and smoke alone are enough to kill them!

"Boat! Get on board! Leave this island!"

someone yelled.

Everyone reacted and started running down the mountain.

Conan ran up the mountain with all his might.

He must first meet up with Xiaolan and the others!

However, now the whole mountain was in chaos, and almost everyone was scrambling to run down the mountain.

The steps in the ancient town are long and steep, and many people fall down the steps in their haste.

Conan saw a woman holding a child staggering after being bumped by someone, and he subconsciously used force to support the woman's body to prevent her from falling down the stairs.

However, the difference in their weight was still too great, and even Conan fell backwards.

At this time, the young man firmly held the woman's body and picked up Conan.

Conan raised his head, his heart filled with joy: "Mr. Shirakawa!"

Bai Chuanqiu glanced at the little brat and ran up with his men: "You kid, don't you know your own weight? And you still want to help."

Conan was a little embarrassed.

The action just now was completely subconscious.

If he hadn't shrunk, he would definitely be able to hold on.

"Thank you Mr. Shirakawa for what you did just now."

"It's ok."

Conan stuck his head out, looked around, and then asked, "Mr. Shirakawa, how is Mr. Saku?"

Bai Chuanqiu sighed: "He was the one who started the fire. It's my fault. I was careless."

Conan was shocked: "Ah? It turned out to be him——"

Baichuanqiu: "Yes, I didn't expect that he would fight back desperately... Sigh."

The young man's face was full of regret.

Conan immediately comforted him: "It's okay, Mr. Shirakawa. The most important thing now is to protect everyone's safety and try to evacuate the people on the island to a safe place."

Bai Chuanqiu nodded, then shook his head: "No, I have to go somewhere else."

He walked to a safe staircase, put Conan down, and whispered, "Go find Mr. Maori and the others first. I'll come and join you as soon as I finish what I'm doing."

Conan raised his head and asked anxiously, "Where is Mr. Shirakawa going at this hour?"

Baichuan Qiu didn't answer, but smiled and rubbed Conan's head: "Go find your sister Xiaolan first, and we'll talk about it later."

Then he went against the crowd and walked in the other direction.

Conan hesitated for a moment, but turned around and continued to look for Mao Li Ran and others.

……

Shirakawa Qiu walked all the way to the main hall in the center of the square on the top of the mountain.

At this moment, there was no one in the square. The flames were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain. Thick smoke was billowing towards the top, and the flying sparks could ignite everything here at any time.

The only lucky thing was that the main hall was located on a leeward slope, and although there was thick smoke in the hall, it was not to the point where it was suffocating.

Baichuan Qiu covered his mouth and nose with his wet clothes, walked to the ancestral hall behind the hall, and opened the memorial tablets there in a mess to check.

The system is worried: "Host, what are you doing? If you set fire now, won't you harm yourself?"

Since there are still important things that have not been obtained, setting fire will only make things difficult for yourself!

Baichuan Qiu was very calm: "There's still time."

This main temple is the most important building on the island. It enshrines the souls of the dead on the island. It is usually strictly guarded and outsiders are not allowed to approach.

But now, a big fire has caused the guards to run away for refuge, leaving this place unattended.

Baichuanqiu was now free to come and go.

However, as the thick smoke gradually spread, the system's worries reached their peak.

Soon, Baichuan Qiu also got what he wanted.

A very classic-looking European pocket watch was taken out by Baichuan Qiu from the incense burner in front of a spirit tablet.

The system urged: "There's a fire! Host, leave quickly!"

Baichuan Qiu narrowed his eyes, put the pocket watch into his arms, and then overturned the incense burner to make sure there was nothing else inside.

He no longer hesitated and turned and ran.

The thick smoke in front of him made it almost impossible to open his eyes. Baichuan Qiu soon burst into tears. He closed his eyes, covered his mouth and coughed softly.

Seeing this, the system immediately said: "Host, I will show you the way!"

"Ahem, say—"

"At one o'clock, cross the obstacle in ten steps, and rush out of the hall in twenty steps!"

Baichuan Qiu didn't hesitate and rushed directly in the direction indicated by the system.

The system was very familiar with Baichuan Qiu's stride, and the data was calculated very accurately. Baichuan Qiu almost encountered no obstacles and rushed out of the hall in one breath.

"Go down the mountain—"

Almost as soon as Baichuanqiu left, the main hall, which was originally shrouded in thick smoke, finally began to burn slowly in the tiny sparks.

"Turn left, big jump—"

The system did not dare to stop at all and helped to point the way at a very fast speed. The white-haired young man still had his eyes closed, but his running speed did not slow down at all. It was not until he rushed all the way down to the foot of the mountain that Baichuan Qiu slowly opened his eyes.

Even so, his eyes were still red and swollen.

The system breathed a sigh of relief: "Host, are you okay?"

"fine."

Baichuan Qiu closed his eyes and let his eyes continue to secrete tears to relieve the condition of his eyes.

"Host, Conan and the others are at your ten o'clock position!"

Baichuanqiu immediately headed in that direction.

"Mr. Shirakawa!" Conan saw him and ran over, "Mr. Shirakawa, here!"
