On the eve of a shower
The old fluorescent lamps flickered a few times before finally dimming. Sudden darkness descended on them without warning, and after a few seconds, Yu Siqi realized that the power had gone out.
"Did you trip?" Gong Chen, who took out his flashlight, asked, and then immediately denied it: "Impossible, how can this level of power supply make the entire workshop completely without power!" Then he seemed to remember something, "Oh, it can't be someone who did something at the distribution box." ”
"I'm afraid the real situation may be as you said, but I don't think the other party came from afar to simply show us what 'energy saving' is." Father An turned to look at Wan Jie, whose body was glowing faintly, and said, "It seems that your plan has to be carried out in advance, 'Lord Tax Officer'." ”
"Just call me Wan Jie, you don't have to deliberately say that honorific title. Moreover, I warn you, Father 'Your Excellency', that it is better for your men not to follow me, or I will not guarantee that I will be as 'calm' as I am now. Wan Jie supported her body with her hands and moved to the edge of the table little by little. But when she was about to gradually descend her legs to the ground, she suddenly fell because of her unstable body, but fortunately, Luo Ning, who was observing from the side, supported her at a critical time, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to have any bumps and bumps in her current body. Unfortunately, she is arrogant by nature and doesn't seem to like the help of others, especially Ronin's. Pushing away Luo Ning, who was holding himself, hit the previous boss's chair because he was pushed away, and lost a few bones.
Of course, the most immediate consequence of this is that her own situation is not much better. Unable to fully stand on her feet, she eventually fell to the ground.
Yu Siqi, who had been observing from the side, first noticed that Luo Ning was hurriedly searching back and forth on the ground for the 'parts' that flew out of his body, and then he couldn't help but turn his head to Wan Jie, who couldn't stand alone because of a fall, and was very emotional.
"Don't move, I'll be right here."
Even if he is disgusted by his daughter, he will not complain, which may be a kind of 'greatness' as a father.
It's a pity that Wan Jie, who didn't appreciate it at all, still relied on her strong will and determination, stood up again, and walked to the door tremblingly, and without warning, snatched the flashlight that Gong Chen had just given him from Yu Siqi's hand, and walked out with the door frame.
"Wait for me, Jie!"
Luo Ning's anxious shout did not exchange for the other party's waiting, but prompted the other party to go downstairs very urgently.
Faced with such a 'tired' father-daughter combination, Yu Siqi didn't know what to say. Although as far as he is concerned, he actually minds that the flashlight was suddenly snatched away by a 'sick' person, but considering that it was carried out under the premise that he didn't have any precautions, he can't be blamed for his 'incompetence'.
Probably because Wan Jie had said some words to Father An that were obviously like 'warnings', the priest didn't seem to be particularly concerned about what was happening at this time, and he was as stunned as a wooden man, like a humanoid statue. Of course, Yu Siqi couldn't tell if he was resting, or if he was thinking about the next 'course of action'.
Anyway, until Luo Ning, who repaired himself, chased him out, the three of them basically didn't make any moves. Except for Gong Chen, who was sitting in Luo Ning's position, complaining from time to time that the chair was not comfortable at all, there was only a small movement of Yu Siqi probing out to look. It's a pity that because of the power outage, it was dark outside, and the lighting equipment in Yu Siqi's hand was unreasonably 'borrowed'.
Not long after Luo Ning left, Yu Siqi, who was standing at the door, suddenly felt a cold wind blowing towards him, giving him goosebumps on his body. Then, when he turned around to lean into the house, his long-lost sixth sense told him that something was wrong. In this regard, he naturally did not hesitate to open his proud perception, but he only saw a bloody human face, and the sarcoma and tentacles on it scared him into a cold sweat. When he came back to his senses, he noticed that he had already turned off his senses, and that the Night Folk who had touched him silently seemed to have been chased away by Father Ann, who was aware of it in time.
"I'm sorry, I should have taken precautions." Father Ann raised his glowing arms and said, "Looks like we're busy again, Gongchen." ”
"No, that's what people say. As a result, we still have to 'hot faces to stick to other people's cold butts', and it's really unpleasant to have to make a fuss again. Although Gong Chen said so, he didn't pull down the work in his hand at all, and after a while, he stood in front of Yu Siqi with a bow on his back and said, "I'm really sorry just now, buddy, I went to nap." ”
"It's okay, I'm not careful enough."
Yu Siqi is embarrassed to blame others, after all, he is himself who takes the initiative to stand in the forefront! Moreover, he also resists himself who always relies on others to help, which will make it seem that he has no 'growth'.
"Friends outside, don't squat there. Since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down? Father An pulled Yu Siqi back into the middle of the room, and then shouted. A few vague shadows followed a little mist past where Yu Siqi had been standing, bringing more cold air to the otherwise warm room.
When the wind stopped, a mottled face appeared in the hazy mist. Whether it's the missing chin, the sunken nose, or the long scar that runs from the forehead to the cheeks, the guy has been disfigured.
"The leader of the Night Clan is here, may I ask who your Excellency is and why you want to help that demon girl."
When the other party took the initiative to appear, Yu Siqi was actually very surprised, and what shocked him even more was that the other party actually took the initiative to communicate with them. That's really, what should I say?
"Commander of the Night, are you the leader of the Night People?"
Father Ann asked disapprovingly.
"Of course not, each of our seven commanders has their own men. When you say 'Toutou', I'm afraid you mean Lan Xiang, the Night King who has been dead for many years. ”
The ugly-faced man told him the details very directly, and added: "As long as you take the initiative to leave this place, I guarantee that you will be absolutely safe even in the endless darkness." After all, you are not fundamentally our primary target. ”
"That being said, you're my primary target!" Father Ann suddenly dodged, and his glowing arm turned into a silver dragon, and he attacked the man straight for him.
"It seems that there is no discussion, but it's okay, it saves me a lot of things, and the little ones go together."
After instructing the rest of his men who were lurking around Siqi to act, the man who could not dodge escaped into the veil-like mist, and used this means to avoid Father An's attack. Unfortunately, his self-righteous thoughts caused him to be knocked out of the darkness by the glowing silver dragon. Then, as the dragon's head opened, Father An's right hand grabbed him directly by the neck, pulling him out of the inky mist. The men he brought with him saw that they were not right, and they swung all kinds of weapons in the direction of Father An, but unfortunately they were separated by a series of arrows from Gong Chen.
"I can't let you ants ruin the '**' part of this farce."
Having said that, there were still a few black shadows that jumped in from outside the house and were not taken into account by Gong Chen. Seeing that it seemed a little late for Gong Chen to continue to shoot his bow and arrows now, Yu Siqi didn't think about anything, and directly picked up the boss chair next to him and swept it over.
Although he was sure that he would not hit anything, this seemingly reckless and ineffective act bought Gong Chen the right amount of time.
After a few clanging sounds, the last few beings who could be a 'threat' to Father An had been forced back by Gong Chen with glowing arrows.
Then, it was the desperate struggle of the man who was choked by Father An's neck. After many attempts but not being able to shake Father Ann's arm, he began to beg for mercy: "Let me go, I promise not to come again." ”
"Why should I let go of a being that clearly looks like a threat? To be honest, it didn't do me any good. And, tell you a secret. Personally, I prefer 'catch the thief and catch the king first'. ”
Father Ann squeezed it hard, and he broke the man's neck. But just when Siqi felt that it had been easily settled, the man's broken neck gradually returned to its original position. If Father Ann hadn't let go of his hand as he thought, I'm afraid this guy would have escaped in this way.
"You may be able to subdue me and torture me. But don't think you can really hurt me, we NightClan aren't the kind of beings that can be easily destroyed. The man cried out arrogantly, "Look at the scars on my face, I have survived all kinds of humiliation and torture so far." You're just..."
"The Decree - Heavenly Purity!"
Father Ann ignored the other man's verbal attack, and instead chanted a new incantation with a blank face. Dazzling light gushed out from Father An's body, making Yu Siqi open his eyes at all. Unfortunately, even when he closed his eyes, the light coming from his eyelids still blinded him for a while, not to mention the heart-rending screams from the man, which constantly invaded his eardrums.
When everything was calm again, Yu Siqi, who opened his eyes, looked at Father An who was slumped on the ground, and the latter smiled at him. I tried to raise my left hand and wave in greeting, but I found that I could only lift it slightly for a few centimeters, and then it fell to my thigh.
Without asking what was wrong, he said in a powerful voice, "Can I help my old man get up?" To be honest, I really can't even breathe now... Cough... Cough... It's not good, there's thick phlegm stuck in my throat... Ahem..."
