In Beiye Building, Haiyuan Ai and the three little ones carried one corner of the telescopic ladder and walked back to the seventeenth floor with stops and starts.
After leaving the stairwell, Haiyuan Ai no longer helped to lift the ladder. She walked in front alone. When passing the corner, she first observed the situation in the corridor. After confirming that it was safe, she called to the three little ones behind. Come up.
Just like this, the four of them arrived under the vent without any danger.
"Haiyuan? Is this the place you mentioned?" Crouching under the window, Mitsuhiko looked up at the vents on the ceiling.
"Well, keep your voice down so you don't get discovered." Haiyuan Ai replied, quietly raising his head and observing the situation outside the window.
The location of this corner is very good. If the entire architectural layout of Clover Villa is centered on the North Leaf Building, then the West Leaf Building is to their southwest.
The corner where the four of them were at this time was also at the southwest corner of Beiye Building, and the two were roughly in a straight line.
With the cover of this corner, there is basically no possibility that the terrorists at the Xiye Building will be able to see them.
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 a ladder to climb the vent later. They only need to pay attention to the situation in the North Leaf Building.
"It looks like we can indeed climb in. Then we can hide inside until the police arrest all the terrorists and then come out..."
"This vent... it should be a little difficult for Genta, right?"
"Mitsuhiko, what nonsense are you talking about! I can definitely climb in!"
"I told you to keep your voice down! Why are you arguing again?!"
Hui Yuan Ai retracted her gaze from the window and turned back to glare at the three of them. The three little ones were so frightened that they immediately lowered their heads and admitted their mistake.
"sorry……"
"Really, I can't even look at you for a moment..."
She sighed helplessly, and Haihara Ai didn't say anything else. She quickly opened the telescopic ladder placed on the floor behind them, and then tried to lift it.
After discovering that she really couldn't lift it alone, Haiyuan Ai looked at the three little ones who were still squatting in the corner with their heads lowered, and said in a calm tone:
"Come and help, lift the ladder up, lean it against the wall and aim at the vent."
"good!"
The three people hurriedly came over, helped her lift the front end of the telescopic ladder, and pointed it precariously at the vent.
"Yantai, you are the strongest, go up and open the vent cover first." Haihara Ai began to direct the three little ones to do things.
"Um!"
According to what Haibara Ai said, Yuantai 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, let's go in, one by one."
Genta climbed into the vent first, and after him, Mitsuhiko ran up the ladder and climbed in second.
"Wow! It's so empty up here! So aren't there pipes inside the vents like those on TV?!"
"I told you to keep your voice down!"
"sorry……"
Huihara Ai no longer knows how many times he has said this today.
"Haiyuan, can you help me get it?"
Ayumi on the side handed the cup of milk tea to Haihara Ai. It seemed that because Haihara Ai had been angry so many times today, she looked a little scared when she looked at Haihara Ai.
"Okay, come up quickly." Helping Bumi hold the half-empty cup of milk tea, Haihara Ai said in a calm tone.
After Ayumi also climbed up the vent through the ladder, Mitsuhiko lay on it and cried to Haibara below: "Come up quickly, Haibara."
"I know."
Without hesitation, she held the cup of milk tea in one hand and held the side of the ladder with the other, and also stepped onto the telescopic ladder.
"Ah sneeze!"
At this moment, not far behind a few people, a huge sneeze suddenly sounded.
His heart tightened instantly, and Hui Yuarai suddenly looked back.
"I'll go! Why are you sneezing on me? You want to spray water all over me, right?"
Following the sneezing, a man's loud cursing sounded from behind several people.
From the sound, it seemed that it was not far behind the corner of this corridor.
"Haiyuan! Come up!" The three people above also heard the voice and shouted softly to her who was still standing on the ladder.
Without thinking much, Hui Yuarai quickly raised his legs and wanted to continue climbing up.
[There is still time. 】
Before the two men came over, she could have climbed up the vent and closed the lid.
But after just taking a step forward, she suddenly stopped again.
"Haiyuan!"
Mitsuhiko, who didn't know why she stopped again, shouted anxiously.
"Come up quickly!"
[But what to do with this ladder? 】
Without responding to his call, Haihara Ai suddenly became aware of the telescopic ladder under her feet.
With it so clearly displayed here, those people will definitely become suspicious.
"Ah! Damn it! Where did this mask come from? It's a shoddy product. The burrs are poking into my nose!"
The voice from behind sounded again, and it sounded like it was not far away.
"Haiyuan!" The three little ones above urged again.
"Close the lid!" Without any further hesitation, Haiyuan Ai suddenly raised his head and shouted to the three people above.
"W-what?"
The three little ones didn't seem to understand her words at all, and they were all stunned.
"But Haiyuan, you..."
"hurry up!"
There was no time to explain. Hui Yuan Ai lowered his voice and called out to the three of them again. Then he quickly ran down the ladder and took the ladder back at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing her actions, the three of them all shouted worriedly: "Haiyuan, what are you going to do? Those people are coming!"
"close!"
"I know, I know! Then Huiyuan, be careful!"
In the end, Mitsuhiko was the first to react. He quickly reached out and pulled the cover of the vent closed.
After seeing this, Haihara 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, are you going to sneeze again?"
Completely unaware of the movement in the opposite corner, one of the terrorists looked at his companion next to him with disgust.
"It seems a little...a-a-a-sneeze!"
"Fuck! Why the hell are you hitting me again!"
The two of them were fighting and scolding as they walked along the corridor until they reached the corner with the ladder at the front of the corridor.
Both of them saw the telescopic ladder that was put away and leaning in the corner, but at the same time they didn't think there was anything unusual about it. They just glanced at it and then withdrew their sight, turned the corner and walked in the other direction.
