Chapter 32: Into the Darkness

Coming out of the Crystal Maze, it was already completely dark. Although there is still residual heat from the day, the three of them who have just had a good time in the water park don't care. The little princess, in particular, also spun around in place with her hands behind her back.

"Ah, what a pleasant evening breeze. Sure enough, I didn't come in vain today~"

"It's best if you can be satisfied. But we have a big problem right now."

Looking at her watch and then at the timetable of the station, Su Peng poured a basin of cold water on her.

"It's already a suburb, and the last train into town left exactly 10 minutes ago."

"So we're stuck here?"

Xia Muyun, who was still in high spirits just now, completely turned off the fire, went to the timetable to confirm it, and his little face suddenly collapsed.

"Why don't you discuss with your relatives and let us spend the night here?"

"This is not a hotel, how can you let people stay overnight"

Qin Yuyan unceremoniously rejected Xia Muyun's proposal. Just when she was scratching her head in distress, Qin Yuyan's next words made her hope again.

"But if it's a borrowed car, it shouldn't be a problem."

"You can drive? Well, yes. Isn't it strange that the eldest lady is not surprised?"

After saying sourly, Xia Muyun and Su Peng watched Qin Yuyan return to the venue. After a while, a black SUV stopped in front of the two of them. The car door opened, and it was Qin Yuyan who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"I'll take care of dropping you off in the city and ......"

"The hellfire shows me the way, and the flaming butterfly flies in front of me"

In the car, just as Qin Yuyan was talking about the itinerary, the sound of music suddenly sounded interrupted her words. Su Peng seems to remember that this is the opening of a martial arts drama that is being serialized. turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Xia Muyun hurriedly rummaging through his bag. Pulling out a small cell phone from inside, she smiled awkwardly at the two of them.

"Roommate call, wait for me"

Press the call button and say a few words to the other party. Xia Muyun's brows furrowed quickly. A moment later, she hung up the phone and leaned her head to the driver's seat with a bitter face.

"Hey, can you take me in for a night? Today my roommate brought her boyfriend back and didn't want to see me as a light bulb. ”

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Don't be so ruthless, aren't you all partners in the same trench?"

At this time, even the little princess will be close to the face cover. However, the Frost and Snow Flower obviously doesn't eat this set.

"Hmph, I don't believe you'll lend out the house unconditionally. I guess I got a lot of benefits, right? Since you want me to take it in, it's natural to share half of me, right? ”

Xia Muyun's expression froze, obviously guessed by Qin Yuyan. But how can the flesh that reaches the mouth be easily related to people? For a moment she was in a tangle.

"Why don't we stay with you for the night together and continue training tomorrow?"

At this moment, Su Peng's words came from the side. Qin Yuyan glanced at him who was sitting in the passenger seat, and looked slightly hesitant.

"Well, if that's the case...... It's just this once."

"When did you become so talkative?"

Xia Muyun looked at Qin Yuyan in surprise, and then squinted at Su Peng. It seems to have sensed something.

"Ahem, in that case, let's go to the supermarket first. I didn't prepare anything this time, and I needed to buy some ingredients and daily necessities. ”

"Leave the dinner to me. Hee-hee, let you try my excellent craftsmanship again today~"

Seeing that the little princess's attention had shifted to things, the expression on Qin Yuyan's face relaxed slightly. glared at Su Peng fiercely, as if he was annoyed that he had made himself uneasy again.

Since she didn't have to go back to the city, Qin Yuyan drove the three of them to a large supermarket near her home. As the only shopping mall in a large area nearby, there is a large supermarket with a total of three floors and everything you need.

From the home appliance store on the first floor, I took the elevator up to the daily necessities center on the second floor, and Xia Muyun began to assign tasks in high spirits.

"Su Peng, go get two bottles of ketchup and cheese. Rice too. Oh, and if you see bacon, take two bags. Qin Yuyan ......"

"I'll go and check out the groceries and buy you two towels and a change of clothes."

“…… Whatever you want."

After Qin Yuyan left, Xia Muyun looked left and right. Seeing that there was no one around, she crossed in front of Su Peng with an arrow.

"Did something happen between you and Qin Yuyan?"

"Just explained to her the misunderstanding between us, nothing else"

Good keen observation. Su Peng was taken aback, and then said casually. If you want to hide the truth, the easiest thing is to mix nine points of truth and one point of falsehood.

"Oh, yes?"

Stared into Su Peng's eyes for a while, but found nothing. Xia Muyun nodded noncommittally, seemingly accepting his defense. Carrying the basket, the two began to separate up to purchase the items they needed.

Tomato sauce and cheese were easy to find, and he quickly got them on the shelves in the left section of the market. However, the rice did not come to the market until I looked around. swayed to the vegetable field, just in time to see Xia Muyun looking down in front of the freezer.

"How's the preparation going?"

The little princess trembled, and quickly straightened up and turned her head. It was only after discovering that it was Su Peng who breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's you, don't be scary. Now that there's no one around, I'm really afraid that something will come out......"

"Oh, you're still afraid of ghosts?"

Feeling that he had caught some interesting news, Su Peng smiled evilly and leaned towards Xia Muyun's side. Then he was pushed back by the disgusted little princess.

"But it's a little weird, even at night. It's too weird to have one person, not even a salesperson. ”

When I first entered the supermarket, I saw customers in twos and threes, but now no one can see them.

"Maybe it's almost closing time, let's hurry"

"Too"

As the two were talking, the overhead lights flickered and then went out completely. The entire supermarket was plunged into darkness.

"Hey, isn't it? Lights out without even broadcasting announcements? Or is there a power outage? ”

Xia Muyun's complaint sounded in his ears, but the feeling of uneasiness in Su Peng's heart became more and more intense.

"Little Flash!"

With his whispered call, the orange-yellow kitten quickly appeared at his feet. A pair of large eyes bloomed with an eerie green glow in the darkness.

"Hey, you're crazy? Didn't Qin Yuyan say that he couldn't summon the contract beast outside? ”

Ignoring Xia Muyun's reproach, Su Peng frowned and pointed forward. A bolt of lightning flashed through the darkness and quickly disappeared into the hall. After pulling Xia Muyun to hide in a container surrounded on three sides, he slowly spoke.

"There's trouble. Just look at your phone and you'll know that communications and internet in nearby areas have been blocked. I'm afraid that this darkness is also deliberately pulled off the power grid. And considering that the pedestrians around it have been emptied......"

As he said this, his voice suddenly sank.

"We are surrounded!"
