The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 220: Hellfire Prologue

"Huh? Is it a little too bright outside?" Ran Mouri was sitting opposite Renki Shitara, looking out the window, and suddenly asked in confusion.

"Are they setting off fireworks?"

"There is no such program..." Shitara Renxi was also a little confused.

Uncle Maori pulled the curtains open a little, went to the window and took a look, his face changed immediately.

"The annex is on fire!!"

Looking out the window, the annex building on the other side had already turned into a sea of ​​fire and was burning fiercely.

“Why would the annex…?”

Shitara Renxi's face turned pale all of a sudden: "Oh no, Grandpa Genzaburo is still in there!"

"What?!" Uncle Maori realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly shouted to Maori Ran: "Xiaolan, contact the fire department immediately!!"

After giving these instructions, he quickly opened the door and rushed out.

Renki Shitara and Conan also ran out soon after.

Butler Tsukuro and Yuga Kyosuke were chatting in the corridor, and were a little confused when they saw the panicked look on the faces of several people.

Professor Lecter slowly opened the door and ran out, briefly explaining the situation to the two of them.

"There appears to be a fire next door."

Hearing this, the expressions of the two became nervous, and Yuga Kyosuke started running without hesitation in the direction where Mori Kogoro left.

"Where is Mr. Genzaburo's room?"

Uncle Maori was in a state of panic in the lobby of the annex building when he saw Yuga Kyosuke floating out like a gust of wind.

"It's the first room on the second floor!" Renxi Shitara said quickly.

Yuga Kyosuke nodded, took two steps instead of three and climbed the stairs. After a while, he climbed up and knocked hard on the door of a room with thick smoke escaping from the crack of the door, shouting, "Hey! Uncle! Open the door!!"

“Did you hear that?!!!”

Waiting for no response, his face darkened and he turned to look at the door handle.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he resolutely reached out and grabbed it. A burning sound came from his hand, which quickly turned his hand red and blisters began to appear.

This scene made Conan, who had just arrived, terrified.

The musician's hands...are they pretty much useless now, right?

"Damn, the door is locked!" Yuga Kyosuke twisted the handle hard and slammed the door with his shoulder, but it was no use.

"There's no other way, let's break it down together!" Uncle Maori also rushed over, ready to break down the door together with him.

Bang! !

After trying many times, the door that had been deformed by the fire was finally pushed open under the heavy weight.

The purgatory-like scene in the room was clearly displayed to everyone.

Large pieces of wallpaper were burned into a mess by the fire, and the ceiling turned into wood wax under the high temperature and dripped down like rain.

The whole room was in a state of disrepair, and on the bed where the fire was the hottest, one could vaguely see a body curled up in a ball, completely charred.

"Grandpa Genzaburo!!"

Shitara Renxi shouted with fear.

"Don't come over!" Uncle Maori stretched out his hand to block the door with a serious expression.

"It's hopeless..."

Before the horrifying scene here was over, a staggering little figure crawled into the corridor.

"Ayane..."

"grandfather!"

The person who came was Shitara Choichiro. He coughed painfully and pointed behind him: "Ayane is still in there..."

"What's going on?!" Uncle Maori had an unpleasant expression, "Please tell me clearly, where is Ms. Ayane?!"

With tears in her eyes, Shitara Renki helped up the distressed Shitara Choichiro and explained, "In order to calm down the overly excited grandparents, I brought them to the music room in the annex, thinking that letting them listen to the music that their father played when he was alive might help calm them down..."

She turned to Shitara Choichiro and asked, "But didn't I tell you to go back to the main building after listening?"

"Ahem...Ayane has fallen asleep, I can't go back alone..." Shitara Choichiro's breathing was weak, as if he would die in the next second.

"Where is the sound box?" Conan asked anxiously.

"At the innermost part of the third floor..." Shitara Renxi answered quickly, but when everyone looked upstairs, their expressions froze.

The fire was spreading upwards, and by this time the third floor had completely become a sea of ​​fire, with even the wooden stairs looking precarious.

And that’s not all. As the fire spread, a large amount of thick smoke gathered above the corridor, forming a death zone.

Not to mention having to cross a long corridor and rescue people in this situation...

I have to say that even Conan was a little nervous at this time.

This time was different from the time with Mr. Chengshi. The terrain was too narrow and the fire was spreading very fiercely, almost becoming a desperate situation.

However, there was a sudden sound of water splashing behind me.

When everyone turned around, they saw Yuga Kyosuke dragging a bucket of water from somewhere and pouring it over their heads, soaking them through.

Most of his elegant and refined temperament was taken away by the bucket of water, and he became a little rebellious.

"That's just my temper."

He smiled, rushed upstairs, and said, "I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Uncle Kyosuke!!" Renxi Shitara looked at him worriedly.

"Really..." Uncle Maori cursed, "Are all young people nowadays so impulsive?!"

After cursing, he turned around and ran outside.

"Mr. Maori, where are you going?" Renxi Shitara hurriedly followed behind and shouted.

"Go drive!"

"?"

Without further explanation, Kogoro Mori ran outside the annex, got into the rented van he had brought, broke through the gate and drove in. After a few turns, he stopped under the annex and aimed at the window of a room.

Almost at the moment he stopped, a crisp sound of glass was heard from above, and two figures, one big and one small, jumped down from the window.

Thanks to the van's cushioning, the two men did not suffer serious injuries and landed safely.

It was Haga Kyosuke and Conan. Ms. Ayane was rescued by Haga Kyosuke in his arms. Although she had some burns on her face and scratches from breaking the glass, her life was not in danger.

Soon after, the fire truck arrived at the scene and successfully brought the fire under control.

Except for Mr. Genzaburo who died in the fire, everyone else is safe.

Not long after, the ambulance arrived. The accompanying doctor saw that Ms. Xuanyin was seriously injured and suggested that she get in the car and go to the hospital for treatment.

However, Ms. Xuanyin, who had just woken up, refused in horror and seemed very resistant.

"Maybe he was scared..." Shitara Choichiro, who felt better after a rest, sighed, "Our son fell from the balcony a year ago and was taken to the ambulance and never came back..."
