Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 182 Leap of Faith
Let’s go back five minutes.

"Jump out of the car!"

"It's about to hit, run away!!"

Shouts of fear rose and fell in the carriage, and panic spread among the crowd. Footsteps were as dense as drums, vibrating through the carriage floor and transmitting to the inside of the cardboard box, making Ping Yingzi more and more uneasy.

She put her head in her hands, covered her ears and closed her eyes.

The shaking of the car reminded her of the fear of weightlessness that day.

"Someone has changed the track. The train is about to crash. Jump out of the train now—"

When Ping Yingzi heard the shouting, she tapped her legs, forced herself to open her eyes, and looked out through the cracks in the cardboard box. She saw pairs of ankles running around, like trees with legs running wildly.

She can't die yet...

I’m about to find my mother, how can I die on the road?
She hasn't done what she promised to Kuihua yet, so how could she repeat the same mistake out of fear?
Ping Yingzi finally mustered up the courage and stuck her head out of the box. The train had already passed the bridge and everyone was shouting in despair.

Toda Hidego leaned out of the window. The track was as straight as fate. He could only watch death approaching rapidly, but he could do nothing. Once the train collided, whether he could survive or not would depend on God's will.

The Jinbiao group reacted the fastest. They planned to hide at the rear of the carriage, where they would be least affected. Before they could run away, Fushimi Shika's voice came:

"Rush into the cockpit! Emergency dismantle the locomotive and carriages! As long as the carriages stop, we can all survive!"

This sentence was like a torch, lighting everyone's hope. Instead of hiding at the end of the carriage and leaving everything to fate, it is better to take the initiative to fight for your life and give it a try.

All the men present had knives and guns in their hands. They were not a mix of tourists, but elite detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department and members of the Inagawa-kai, Japan's second largest designated violent group. This group of people may lack discipline, ability and patience, but they are not lacking in courage.

correct……

Yuzi promised her that she would be back soon...

Ping Yingzi silently shrank back into the cardboard box. She was really scared. Since someone had stepped forward, there was no need for her to do anything, right?
There were sounds of fighting and explosions outside the window. She heard Yuan Yuzi shouting, "What about the train on the other side?!"

Yeah, what about the train on the opposite side?
After hesitating for a while, Ping Yingzi stuck her head out again. She leaned over the window and looked at the train diagonally to the side, then she realized that Fushimi Shika had lied.

——Even if the locomotive disintegrated, it would be too late.

They were on a downward slope, and due to the inertia of the carriage itself, they could not stop even with the brakes - the brakes of the carriage had long been out of service in the melee, and it was unknown whether it was intentional sabotage by the Sky Punishment Team, or accidentally shattered by a stray bullet fired by the Search Department. In short, the fate of a collision was still inevitable, it was just that the impact was smaller.

The train driver on the other side was more professional. He did not brake, and the emergency brake after turning would have caused the train to roll over. While Fushimi Shika was caught in the melee, he had already directed the crew to dismantle the locomotive, use the manual brakes in each carriage to brake, and use the mechanical transmission device to make the brake shoes contact the wheels to achieve braking.

However, the braking force of the manual brake is relatively limited, and is mainly used to prevent the vehicle from sliding after parking, or to assist parking at low speeds and short distances.

The train has already been accelerated, and manual braking alone has little effect. The harsh friction sound in the carriage is endless. The men among the passengers stand up to help and pull the handbrake together; the mother hugs her child and comforts her softly; the baby still in the cradle cries loudly, and the mood of despair continues to spread...

Everyone leaned out of the window and looked at the train in the distance, which was speeding towards them and was even accelerating.

……

"If any of us survive, we will be responsible for delivering the suicide note to the relatives and friends of the brothers," Toda Hidego wrote a short suicide note and put it in his pocket: "It is my honor to meet you all."

"Boss..." The members of the Inagawa-kai had tears in their eyes.

On the other side, Gen Tamako was thrown back. The detective from the Investigation Division hurriedly caught her. Hira Sakurako squatted behind everyone and saw Gen Tamako's back through the gaps between countless legs - she was parting with Fushimi Shika for life and death.

At that moment, Ping Yingzi seemed to see Aoi reaching out her hand to her on the rooftop.

She stood up involuntarily, carrying the cardboard box on her back, squeezed through the crowd and started jogging.

"Hey, why is there a little kid here? Whose child is this?"

"Are you scared? Don't run around..."

"Wait—she's going to jump out of the car!! Stop her!!"

The members of the Inagawa-kai cried out in surprise, and there was a commotion on the train in the distance. Passengers pointed at that small dot and shouted loudly that a child had jumped down - everyone looked at it and stretched their necks, only to see Hira Sakurako running and jumping down!

Like a top skier, she placed the cardboard box under her body in mid-air under the inertia of extreme speed. With her light weight, large contact surface and precise entry angle, she dived and slid down the snow at a high speed!
A thin white line appeared in the middle of the U-shaped track. Ping Yingzi took the shortest straight line between the two points and tried to reach the end of the U-shaped track before the train collided. There was a manual wrench there. As long as she pulled it down, she could stagger the tracks and avoid the fate of a train collision!

At a distance of several thousand meters, the manual wrench standing by the track looks like a black dot.

Everyone saw the child's intention, they held their breath, and didn't even dare to shout. The wind and snow raged across the land, and the tiny figure was so small that it could be ignored, but it had the determination to break through mountains and waves.

Ping Yingzi took off her glasses, her mask, and her hat. Her ears echoed with Fu Jianlu's words: "If you want something, you have to fight for it yourself." Then, Yuan Yuzi's voice sounded from the other side: "In order to protect the people you cherish, it's nothing to suffer a little."...

At the same time, Fushimi Shika jumped off the locomotive with Chihiro Kazama on his back and rolled on the ground for a few rounds. He recovered and sighed, and saw a familiar figure passing by in his peripheral vision - Fushimi Shika turned his head, squinted his eyes, and saw a special aura in Hira Sakurako.

——That is the sharpness of evil and the tenacity of justice.

"Go ahead, Sakura."

The whispers of old friends came with the sound of the wind, and Ping Yingzi's hair fluttered forward. Xuecun Kuhua must be hugging her from behind, pushing her forward. The fork in fate came again, and this time she would never repeat the same mistake!
Yuan Yuzi put her hands to her mouth, raised her eyebrows, and cried out:

"Sakurako!! Come on!!"

Ping Yingzi jumped up, threw away the cardboard, stepped on the mask embryo tied to her feet, threw away the cardboard, and slid down at a faster speed.

The passengers stretched their hands out of the windows and shouted to Sakurako Hira, their blood boiling in their veins. Everyone tried their best to support her and prayed from the bottom of their hearts.

In the last 100 meters, the slope was gentle, and without inertia, the speed was getting slower and slower. Ping Yingzi threw off the mask on her feet and ran desperately. It took at least 30 seconds for the switchman to operate the manual switch to change direction... because the track movement itself took 30 seconds.

She desperately bought nearly a minute of time. The train had already turned the U-shaped track and was diving towards the last slope - the last 100 meters. She only had to rush through these last 100 meters within 30 seconds! !
Ping Yingzi was breathing heavily. She didn't look at the roaring locomotive, nor did she care about the buzzing and vibrating tracks. She almost jumped to the wrench and pulled it down with all her strength.

The switch turned slowly, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

Ping Yingzi stood in the middle of the switch, supporting herself with her knees and gasping for breath, feeling like her lungs were about to explode.

After a moment, she looked up, and at that moment, two trains passed by her on both sides, and the turbulent airflow lifted the hem of her clothes. Cheers broke out on the train, and she slumped on the ground, leaning against the wrench, looking up at the narrow sky, and suddenly felt that the world was not so scary.
