Ran Wasn't Even This Fierce, Right?
"Stop right there, motorcycle in front! Pull over to the side!"
The sirens and the shrew's roar came from behind.
Fujino looked up and saw in the rearview mirror a patrol car with flashing red police lights following closely behind his motorcycle.
"Are you being watched by the traffic police?"
Fujino glanced down at his speedometer.
190km/h
This motorcycle has a top speed of 220 km/h.
With the help of Old Driver, it can reach around 260.
Normally speaking, we're pretty much at our limit right now.
"If this speed isn't enough..."
Fujino murmured to himself, activating the Old Driver's overclocking mode.
[Overclocking activated, increasing host speed by 50%]
[The host's speed has been increased to 285 km/h]
Please be careful!
A series of system notification sounds rang in my ears.
"Whoosh!" In an instant, the motorcycle engine began to make a series of explosive sounds, and the exhaust pipe even began to emit bursts of flame.
The next moment, the jet-black motorcycle shot out like lightning.
The moment he activated overclocking, Fujino felt a strong recoil coming from the front of him.
The world before my eyes gradually blurred, but only for a moment, before it began to become clear again.
It is visible.
The throttle was turned on again.
The motorcycle began to accelerate at an illogical speed.
Finally, it soared to 300km/h.
"Yumi! Slow down!"
The policewoman in the passenger seat glanced at the speedometer and shouted, "We're already at 180 kilometers per hour!"
Yumi Miyamoto watched as the red line outlined by the red light gradually disappeared into the distance.
Seeing that there was no possibility of continuing the pursuit, they gradually reduced their speed.
"Just now, if I didn't see wrong..."
The policewoman blinked. "That motorcycle accelerated at least fifty units per second..."
"No."
Yumi Miyamoto stared blankly at the street corner where the motorcycle had disappeared, and murmured, "Just a moment ago, that motorcycle accelerated at least 90 kilometers per hour."
A moment of silence fell over the car.
[Congratulations, host, for shaking off the traffic police. You have been awarded 30 driver proficiency points.]
Current proficiency points: 470/500
The motorcycle continued to travel at an abnormally high speed.
On the streets late at night, only a red light followed closely behind.
At that speed, an ordinary person would have already been killed in a car accident.
But Fujino is not a normal person.
Even at this speed, motorcycle handling becomes extremely difficult.
But with the combined support of perception, reaction speed, strength, and the skills of Old Driver.
Fujino was still able to dodge the surrounding vehicles and crowds with ease.
Ping An Bus Operations Headquarters.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the roar of an engine approached from afar.
Ran looked up and vaguely saw a motorcycle rapidly approaching them.
The motorcycle was going extremely fast, and its red taillights drew a beautiful red line in the dim night.
Then, sparks began to fly from the wheels of the incredibly fast motorcycle, and the brake pads gradually turned red-hot.
As the speed gradually decreased, the black motorcycle swerved to the side.
With a series of ear-piercing screeching sounds, it left a black tire mark on the smooth road and came to a steady stop in front of Ran.
The rider flipped up his windshield, revealing a familiar face.
"Fujino- Senior... Sonoko, she..."
Ran stood alone under the streetlight, overwhelmed by guilt and self-reproach. "If I hadn't insisted on coming to find that old man, Sonoko wouldn't have..."
"Don't cry."
Fujino took out a handkerchief from his Pocket Dimension and handed it to Ran. "Any clues about the direction Sonoko was taken away by those people?"
"Some."
Ran took the handkerchief, wiping away her tears as she pointed to the roadside. "I just heard the cleaning man who saw Sonoko being kidnapped say that the car that took Sonoko and the others left in that direction."
"You stay here and wait for the police."
Fujino looked in the direction Ran was pointing, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I'll go after them right now."
Fujino gave a brief instruction, then twisted the throttle, and with the roar of the engine, the motorcycle sped off onto the dimly lit road.
"Fujino- Senior, I'm entrusting Sonoko to you!"
Ran waved her handkerchief and shouted at the departing motorcycle.
"Boom!"
Fujino's motorcycle quickly overtook a speeding taxi.
Holy crap!
The driver stared at the red line that suddenly sped past him and shouted in bewilderment.
"Fujino?! He's here too?!"
Conan, sitting in the back of the taxi, got a clear look at the dark figure from earlier.
That familiar black motorcycle was the one Fujino often rode.
"How can that guy be so fast?"
Without thinking too much, Conan shouted at the driver, "Hurry up and catch up with that motorcycle!"
Conan stared at the swaying red light in front of the car, his eyes slightly darting.
If it were Fujino, perhaps...
Fujino drove his motorcycle and activated Eagle Vision to scan the surrounding area.
But Sonoko was nowhere to be found in Hawkeye's world.
"It seems they've already gone far?"
Fujino sighed, took out the white wolf from his Pocket Dimension, and lit it.
The cigar smoke filled the air, and she quickly transformed into the White Wolf girl.
"My lord! Please give orders to the white wolf!"
The anthropomorphic White Wolf girl floated to the side, following the motorcycle at high speed.
"Help me find Suzuki Sonoko."
"Yes, sir!"
The white wolf nodded, closed his eyes, slightly raised his head, sniffed the air, and immediately gave his answer, "It's not far away, follow me!"
The white wolf soared into the air and sped straight towards the left side of the road not far ahead.
Following the white wolf, Fujino arrived at a warehouse cluster.
He brought the motorcycle to a steady stop and stepped off.
Its Eagle Eye Vision constantly scanned the surroundings.
Soon, he found four vital signs in a nearby warehouse.
One of the vital signs was remarkably similar to Sonoko's physique.
Is this it?
Fujino gazed at Sonoko's figure, took out Wooden Sword from his back, and slowly walked to the entrance of the warehouse.
There was a small gap at the bottom of the roller shutter, through which light shone.
Unfortunately, the gap was too small to pass through.
If he had that kind of power, he should be able to break through.
However, this means that the two people kidnapped by the two kidnappers are very likely to be taken hostage.
We still have to break in through the window from above...
"Fujino".
Just as Fujino was pondering, a child's voice suddenly came from behind him.
When did you come here?
Fujino frowned slightly and looked at Conan was wearing a blue suit behind him.
Why does Conan look like a ghost?
"I just saw Fujino Gege's motorcycle, so I followed it."
Conan smiled and spoke in a childish voice, then looked at the words on the sign at the warehouse entrance and read them aloud, "Dragon God Economic Research Institute".
He paused, then feigned ignorance and said, "That's strange. I think I saw this name on a floppy disk in Ran's pocket before. Could Sonoko have been kidnapped here?"
Fujino: "..."
This kid...
They're showing off their acting skills again.
If you were a normal person, you wouldn't feel anything.
Fujino, who knew that the kid was actually a high school student, was still left speechless by this whole operation.
Seeing that Fujino didn't reply, Conan squatted down and peered through the gap under the roller shutter door. "I've already looked around, and this is the only entrance to this warehouse. If it were me..."
"Actually, there are other entrances."
Fujino interrupted Conan and looked up at the roof of the warehouse.
"Other entrances?"
Conan followed Fujino's gaze, paused for a moment, and then asked Fujino hesitantly, "You wouldn't be thinking of going in through the roof, would you?"
"More or less."
Fujino hesitated for a moment, then silently unbuttoned his suit jacket. "It's about jumping up."
"Don't joke around, the line of sight here is at least five meters, how could a normal person possibly..."
Conan simply thought Fujino was joking.
But when he looked away and turned to Fujino, he was speechless.
Fujino was wearing a black vest under his suit.
The vest was covered with countless lead weights.
Not just the vest, but also the arms and thighs, all over...
"Bang bang bang..."
One by one, the weights were removed by Fujino.
It fell to the ground with a low, muffled thud.
"If you get hit by this thing, you'll be crushed to death, right?"
Conan quickly backed away, afraid of being hit by the heavy lead weights.
He looked down at the lead weight on the ground, his expression strange, and swallowed hard.
Could this guy have been carrying this much weight the whole time?
"Much lighter."
Fujino put his suit back on and looked up at the roof. "This distance should be fine."
After such a long period of diligently adding points, his current maximum jump distance is about two meters, close to three meters.
With the addition of weight training recently, his jumping distance can now reach more than three meters.
Using Detective Enhancement and system Enhancement Card, a distance of five meters, plus the arm span, should be feasible.
Thinking it over, Fujino reached into his pocket.
He popped an Advanced Strength Enhancement Card that he had taken out of his Pocket Dimension.
A series of system notifications rang in my ears:
[Advanced Strength Enhancement Card used, increasing host's strength by 200%. Countdown: 10 minutes...]
[Detective Enhancement Activated, increasing host's physical abilities by 225%, countdown: eight minutes...]
Then, Fujino slowly bent down, concentrating all his strength in his legs.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Fujino leaped straight toward the roof of the warehouse.
Seeing that he was almost there, Fujino reached out and grabbed the roof of the warehouse.
Then, by exerting force with his arms, he flipped himself onto the roof of the warehouse.
"Did he really jump up?"
Conan's lips twitched slightly, revealing an expression as if he were looking at a ghost.
"That's a distance of five meters... What kind of humanoid Siberian tiger is that?"
Conan frowned, smacked his lips, and whispered, "Even Ran isn't this fierce, is she?"
"This guy is getting more and more outrageous."
Conan looked away and shook his head.
He wasn't as outrageous as Fujino.
You can only enter through the existing entrance...
Why do I feel a little frustrated?
Conan sighed and squeezed under the gap in the roller shutter door...
On the other side, on the roof of the warehouse.
Fujino stood on the roof, observing the situation below.
According to Eagle Eye Vision, the room where the group is currently located should be the rest area of this warehouse.
There were two kidnappers, both by the window, while the old man that Sonoko and Ran had mentioned was sitting on the sofa.
"White Wolf".
Fujino raised his hand and called out.
"My lord."
White Wolf girl suddenly appeared behind Fujino.
"You wait here."
Fujino took out a Red Rope from his Pocket Dimension and handed it to the white wolf, saying, "Hold onto this rope."
"Yes, ma'am. No matter what happens, I will not let go."
The white wolf reached out, took the rope, and gripped it tightly.
"Please."
Fujino glanced trustingly at the white wolf, grabbed the rope with his left hand and held the Wooden Sword in his right, then found the office on the edge of the roof and jumped down.
His figure traced an arc in the night.
He pointed the Wooden Sword at the office window.
"Snap!"
The window was smashed straight down by Wooden Sword.
Fujino suddenly entered the office.
His gaze focused on the two robbers who had come into view, and he kicked one of them.
"Bang!"
A muffled groan followed.
The two robbers were kicked off their feet by Fujino and fell backward, tumbling like balls as they clung to each other.
The burly robber who was kicked fainted.
The tall, thin kidnapper, pinned down by the burly robber, was completely bewildered.
Once he regained his senses, he pushed away the burly kidnapper who was pressing down on him.
Looking up, he saw a young man in a black suit standing in front of him, carrying a black 'long stick', staring at him with a cold gaze.
"Hateful..."
The tall, thin kidnapper pulled a switchblade from his pocket and rushed toward Fujino.
Fujino narrowed his eyes and glanced at the gleaming silver switchblade in the tall, thin kidnapper's hand.
He then lowered his body and quickly pressed the Wooden Sword in his hand against his left abdomen.
Seizing the opportunity when the tall, thin kidnapper approached, Fujino swung his Wooden Sword without hesitation.
"Bang!"
The Wooden Sword struck his wrist precisely.
The switchblade in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Upon seeing this, Fujino thrust his Wooden Sword forward, the tip striking the man's chest.
"Cough!"
Although the Wooden Sword couldn't cause any real damage, the pain from that sudden strike still lingered in the chest of the tall, thin kidnapper.
For a moment, it made it difficult for him to breathe.
Seizing the opportunity, Fujino moved the Wooden Sword aside and unleashed a sweeping kick.
Before the kidnapper, who had been kicked in the waist, could recover, he flew to the side and crashed heavily into the wall of an office, smashing a hole in it.
"Go to hell!"
Behind him, the burly robber who had just been kicked unconscious had regained consciousness, pulled out a switchblade from his pocket, and stabbed Fujino in the back.
Fujino had already noticed this.
I was just about to turn around and kick him in the kidneys, so he'd have to spend half a year in the hospital too.
Then, a crackling sound came from behind.
A large black leather shoe, crackling through the air and crackling with lightning, shot towards them.
It slammed into the back of the kidnapper's head with a loud "bang!"
"Aren't you afraid of kicking someone to death..."
Fujino made a sarcastic remark, then subtly moved and delivered a whip kick to the still-stiff robber.
The robber, struck by the powerful kick, was also sent flying, crashing into a nearby cabinet and smashing the metal cabinet to pieces.
