Monday.

There was no commission today, Qiao Qiao went to the supermarket after school.

I bought a lot of ingredients and drove them home on a small motorcycle.

Due to the postponement of the school trip, many people who had already relaxed and entered a state of recreation were suddenly told that they had to study seriously for a month, which was really unmotivated.

There was a smell of laziness in the classroom, as if the period before the school trip was no longer important.

Probably infected by a similar atmosphere, Qiao Qiao also bought a lot of ingredients today.

He was ready to make a hot pot.

Although the Japanese-style sukiyaki is also good, Qiao Qiao prefers Chinese hot pot.

It's just that Higuchi Sayoko can't eat too spicy food, so Qiao Qiao can only say goodbye to the spicy hot pot with tears.

Yes, what he is going to make today is beef hot pot.

Although Kazukuni has the famous Kobe beef, when it comes to splitting the various parts of the cow, it is still inferior, and Qiaoqiao searched for a long time in the supermarket before he gathered the ingredients a little.

Because of the greeting in advance, Higuchi Sayoko did not cook, but obediently watched TV in the living room, waiting for Qiao Qiao's return.

"I'm back."

Qiao Qiao carried a large bag and came to the entrance.

"Good work."

Sayoko handed over her slippers and helped Qiao Qiao share some heavy loads.

"Do you want my help?"

Asked again.

"Well, that's for the best."

Although he has only lived there for more than a month and a half, Qiao Qiao is already very used to the feeling of Sayoko being at home.

The two are busy in the kitchen, like a newlywed couple.

As for Suzuka, they play games in their rooms.

At seven o'clock, the ingredients were finally on the table.

"Sayoko, I'll get the rest, and tell Suzuka to come downstairs to eat."

Qiao Qiao said, putting the last hot pot on the induction stove in the living room.

The air was filled with a faint smell of clear soup.

"Wow, it looks delicious."

Suzuka went downstairs wearing her homely pajamas and slippers.

"Go wash your hands first."

Qiao Qiao carried Suzuka, who wanted to sit down, to the sink.

After a while of busy work, the three of them finally sat down.

Jobashi and Higuchi Sayoko sat on one side, and Suzuka was on the other side.

It's like a family.

Suzuka subconsciously picked up chopsticks and was about to pick up a slice of raw beef and put it in his mouth.

"Wait a minute, this isn't sashimi."

Qiao Qiao sighed that this deer really didn't hesitate at all when he ate the meat, and at the same time picked up a piece of meat and put it in the pot, gently soaked it for a few seconds, picked it up, and put it in Suzuka's bowl.

"That's it."

"It feels weird."

Suzuka's impression of beef is either grilled meat or sashimi, is this kind of meat sliced meat that has passed through a soup really delicious?

She was skeptical.

However, when Suzuka eats the beef.

Her eyes widened.

"This is delicious! Could it be because of the smell of Josan mixed in? ”

"Don't say such misleading things."

Qiao Qiao complained, and taught Sayoko to make a slice of beef.

It was at this time.

All the lights went out suddenly.

No, to be precise, all the appliances suddenly lost power.

“？”

Qiao Qiao subconsciously wanted to go to the living room to pull out a gun, but after lifting the curtains to confirm the surroundings, he put his mind at ease.

"It looks like there's a power outage."

At this moment, this residential area is dark.

If you look at it from the sky above Tokyo, you can see that a large area of the bustling Shinjuku district has turned into a state of darkness, as if a piece of a glittering puzzle has suddenly been missing.

"Even in this case, you can't see the stars in Tokyo."

Qiao Qiao looked at the sky and sighed.

"Hey, it looks like there's a real power outage, I see it's all talking on Twitter."

Suzuka's phone became a light source in the living room, and she said as she scrolled through someone else's Twitter.

"Wait, wait, what about the hot pot?"

She looked back at the cooker, which was no longer heating.

"If you have a plastic O explosive, it won't explode even if it is ignited, so it can be used to ......."

"Or gas?"

Sayoko smiled and interrupted Qiao Qiao's very dangerous speech.

"There's always a feeling of making a dark hot pot."

She sighed.

"Dark hot pot?" "It's a little old."

Johashi and Suzuka reacted very differently.

"But why the power outage?"

When Qiao Qiao brought the pot to the gas stove, he suddenly thought.

......

Tokyo.

In an electrical substation.

Bai Chenglong also yawned.

He was an ordinary electric company clerk.

Today I am on duty.

At the moment of the 21st century, such a duty is much easier, after all, all the equipment has been automated, and you only need to glance at a few key data from time to time to see if it is normal.

And this is a substation, not a power station.

Although the location is a bit remote, the income is good, the work is easy, and Bai Chenglong is also very satisfied.

After chatting with a friend on Line, Bai Chenglong also glanced at the data on the display.

“？”

Something doesn't seem right.

He looked at it again.

"It's really not right, the voltage is too low."

Although Bai Chenglong has not encountered a similar situation, he is still trained.

He first told the seniors on duty with him, and then called to report the situation, and then carried out some safety operations, confirming that there was indeed a problem with several of the units.

"Let's go see what's going on."

The senior on duty together said.

"Okay."

Bai Chenglong naturally couldn't ignore the words of his predecessors.

He put on his coat and went to the door of the room where the substation unit in trouble was.

"Huh?"

No locks?

Bai Chenglong also saw the hidden door, and suddenly felt that something was not right.

It was usually locked, and the keys were kept by the officers on duty, but now, the door lock for this room has been opened.

Could it be that someone came in and stole something?

However, it's all high-voltage electricity here, what can there be to steal?

Bai Chenglong was also confused, and carefully pushed the door open.

In the flickering fluorescent transformer unit, a figure was reflected.

However, the figure was by no means human.

Instead, it resembles some kind of beast, crawling in front of one of the transformer units.

Zizizi——

Bai Chenglong also heard a certain voice, which was very dangerous for him working in the power company.

The electric current, visible to the naked eye, is bursting out of the transformer.

"Dangerous ......"

Bai Chenglong was also preparing to leave.

But what happened next made him stunned.

The electric current, which was enough to kill, was bitten by the beast like this.

"It's in ...... Eating? ”

Bai Chenglong also clearly saw that the beast was like this, directly devouring the electricity.

Almost at the same time, the group of transformers also went out.

About a minute later.

The immobile Bai Cheng Dragon also watched in a daze as the beast crawled out of the shadows.

The other party glanced at himself.

Then leave.

Disappear between the mountains and forests.
