The Phantom of High School: A Different Kind of Gifted Student

Chapter 100 The Deathly Darkness 1
It was getting late, and the night was as cool as water.The night brings it dignified like water and spreads slowly, freezing the cold veins of autumn leaves.In the house, everyone was eating dinner under the bright electric light in the living room.From time to time, Henan Huhuyan looked at Zizai, who was screaming at his older sister, but he was chatting with Luo's mother and Xiaosi in high spirits.

The middle-aged couple of scholars, with the reservedness unique to scholars, did not talk much and did not want to reveal too much, they ate vegetables in a gentle and slow manner.The fourth child was still lying down in the room and snoring soundly, and the sound of snoring could be vaguely heard coming and going quite regularly.

Suddenly, the power supply in the room did not know why, maybe it was the outdated equipment of the hotel, the lights flickered a few times and creaked, and then went on strike.The room was plunged into darkness in an instant, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"What's going on?" Someone said, seemingly extremely surprised.

"The power went out again?" Luo's mother underestimated, seeming to sigh and seem helpless, and comforted the darkness in front of her, "It's okay, it's okay, you sit down first. My shop's circuit is aging, and there are frequent power outages. Go get a candle and light it."

"Do you want me to help you? It's so dark what if we hit the wall, we didn't bring our mobile phones when we ate." Xiaosi said.

"No, Mommy Luo, I am familiar with every place in this house, and I can walk with my eyes closed ~ Mr. Lin, you two can't leave either."

Then, I heard the sound of a chair being pulled away, and the sound of someone leaving on the concrete floor.Zaizai yelled complainingly, "The candle is on the kitchen cabinet, Auntie", and nestled into Cang Yue's arms, muttering something.

Cang Yue sat still, chatting with Zai Zai in a low voice without saying a word.Henan wants to interrupt, but because Cang Yue spits out a few words coldly, he shuts up angrily and pretends to be dumb.In the darkness, no one could see anyone, and they couldn't catch everyone's expressions. The faint moonlight outside the window penetrated and whitened the dilapidated small brown curtains beside the window.

The middle-aged couple lowered their voices, as if worried that someone would steal their things in the dark.Helpless, the gloomy darkness around makes it difficult to move.

I don't know what kind of insect outside the house is slowly and continuously mourning for a long time, although there are Zaizai babbling nonsense in the room, and Xiao Si half-joking to ease the oppressive atmosphere, the sound of this insect still pierces deep into everyone's ears.

Luo's mother fumbled in the kitchen for a while but couldn't find the candles in reserve, and felt inexplicable uneasiness gradually hit her heart.The movement of groping for things in his hands was getting louder and louder, and he accidentally knocked over the plate on the cupboard, and the porcelain plate fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces of dregs, and Luo Ma almost staggered and fell to the ground in shock.

"Mother Luo, are you alright?" Xiao Si asked and answered loudly with her neck raised.

"It's okay, don't run around, there are a lot of groceries in the store, don't worry if you touch them and hurt yourself. I'll look for them again~~" Mother Luo instructed, turned her head and stretched out her sword to carefully kick away the invisible debris on the ground.

It's really strange, she obviously put the candle in the corner of the cupboard, why can't she touch it?
Luo's mother looked around restlessly with her hands, and the few moonlight leaking from the kitchen ventilation window could not dispel the gloomy panic in her heart.

Time is passing by, and the tedious waiting is sometimes even more tormenting.Not to mention this group of people with different backgrounds pretending to be ordinary.

At the dining table in the living room, Zaizai stopped talking, and his fat body curled up quietly on Cang Yue's lap like a kitten, drowsy.Xiao Si supported his head with one hand in the dark, and tapped the wooden table with his bony forefinger.The couple seemed to be unable to bear this unknown darkness, and they couldn't help talking in a low voice.

The language spoken is not Chinese.Gulu Gulu, the strange pronunciation of hundreds of turns, is extremely rare.

Xiao Si frowned, and asked in the dark: "Which dialect are you two talking about? Why can't I understand a word? Could it be that you two came from an alien planet?" After thinking about it, he added another sentence , "I have long wanted to travel outside the earth. Can you two take me to Mars when you have time? I wonder if the beauties on Mars are as beautiful as our Cangyue girl."

　As me who writes detective stories, with romance attached, I have no expectations and just want to write.
