Akai Shuichi sighed inwardly and prepared to go downstairs to assess the situation.
But just then, from down the corridor, he suddenly heard light yet chaotic footsteps.
Akai Shuichi paused. A moment later, he silently darted into a side passage, skillfully concealing himself and suppressing his presence.
Before long, several people came running from one side of the corridor with flashlights, charging straight toward the other side.
Akai Shuichi secretly observed this group of brave souls stranded in the building, then froze slightly.
—They were actually a few children who had not even reached an adult's knees.
Akai Shuichi: "..." Why were children running around in such a dangerous place?
Come to think of it, one of the children looked extremely familiar—yes, that little boy with glasses. It seemed he had seen him a long time ago.
After hesitating for a moment, Akai Shuichi silently followed after the Detective Boys passed by.
A group of children running around a newly opened building like this could easily get lost.
In any case, the Connecting Bridge was not far from here. He might as well escort them across first, then head back downstairs to check on the elevators.
Thinking this, Akai Shuichi secretly followed behind the Detective Boys, ready to correct their direction promptly if they took a wrong turn.
However, those children—especially the little boy leading them—seemed as though they had a map of the building imprinted in their minds. They did not take a single wrong turn and led their companions smoothly through the darkness to the Connecting Bridge.
As the children stepped onto the Connecting Bridge on the 60th Floor, Akai Shuichi silently adjusted his glasses, preparing to leave.
But his expression soon changed, and he abruptly lowered his head to look at his phone.
