Coming to the electric switch at the back door again, Gao Yuan skillfully switched the main switch of the jumping electric switch again, and after opening it again, the villa immediately became bright again.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the electric switch did not continue to jump, Gao Yuan looked at Xiaolan and the garden behind him, and began to ask Xiaolan:

"Miss Xiaolan, what happened to you in the hall when I came to check on the power switch before?"

Gao Yuan remembered very well that he pulled on the electric switch at that time and was about to return to the hall, but the electric gate jumped again, and when he was about to go back to check the situation of the electric switch, Xiaolan's shouting made him feel that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly ran back to the hall, and then found that Xiao Ai was missing.

So obviously, something should have happened at that time, and Xiaolan screamed at that time, so Xiaolan must have seen something at that time.

Moreover, compared to the members of the university film research club, Gao Yuan trusted Xiaolan and Yuanzi's statements more.

So, after Xiaolan and Yuanzi glanced at each other, they began to tell what happened at that time-

In the hall, there are a lot of candles, so it looks quite bright.

But because the windows on the second floor were broken, gusts of wind blew into the house through the broken windows, causing the burning candles to flicker, and the reflections of everyone in the candle flames swayed with it—just like everyone's minds, and there was no peace for a moment.

Perhaps it was because of Gao Yuan's instructions before leaving, or because it was indeed the safest situation to stay in the candle-lit hall at the moment, everyone sat at the table, no one took the initiative to speak, quietly waiting for the development of the situation.

Soon, when the lights that had been extinguished shone again, and the bright lights obscured the light of the candles, everyone's depressed mood couldn't help but relax at this moment-

"Calling? Is it fixed? ”

Looking at the lights that lit up, Ota Katsu looked up and looked around, and found that all the lights were on, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

At the same time, Ota Katsu's originally nervous mood couldn't help but relax a little, took out a cigarette from his pocket, stretched it out to the still burning candle flame, lit the cigarette with the candle flame, blew it lightly, blew out the candle flame, and then put the lit cigarette to his mouth and began to smoke.

"It seems that the power outage just now was really just an accident!"

Kakutani Hiroki said with a little excitement, and Atsuko Amamiya on the side also nodded in agreement, and also followed the example of Ota Katsu, and blew out the candle flame in front of him.

"In that case, there's no need to waste candles."

Atsuko Amamiya said with a light smile, So the other people present also agreed, and blew out all the remaining candles.

"But what about the upstairs window?"

Yuan Zi looked up at the broken window upstairs, and couldn't help but say in confusion:

"Could it be just an accident?"

"Oh, why do you want to do so much, just go up and have a look!"

Katsu Ota took a puff of his cigarette and said as if he was very relaxed, then he got up from his chair and walked towards the second floor.

In this regard, Conan also immediately trotted upstairs -

"How is this going on?"

Coming to the broken floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the large amount of broken glass that fell in the house, Ota Katsu said with some surprise:

"It's full of shards of glass......"

"I don't know if anyone really slipped in from here."

Squatting down, seeing that the locks on the floor-to-ceiling windows were still intact, Conan couldn't help but say solemnly-

The current situation is obviously that there is an external force breaking the glass from the outside of the house, and the lock of the floor-to-ceiling window is still locked, which should be someone outside who wants to enter the house, but because the doors and windows are locked, they have no choice but to break the window to enter.

"You little ghost, don't just talk nonsense! It's possible that the glass is not of good quality and is blown apart by the wind! ”

Katsu Ota came up with a possibility and said:

"And if someone had broken in from here, we would have found him in the hall!"

Conan can't refute this, after all, what Ota Katsu said also has some truth:

If someone really ran in from here, everyone in the hall at the time should have been able to detect the sound, not to mention, there was broken glass all over the floor, and if it really slipped in from the outside of here, that person would definitely make a noise because of stepping on the broken glass, and leave traces......

Thinking so, Conan finally shook his head-

No, there is also a possibility that the other party just broke the glass outside, but did not come in! In that case, what the hell is that person......

Suddenly, when Conan was thinking, and Katsu Ota was about to go downstairs and return to the hall, the lights that had been on were extinguished again-

Because everyone had already blown out all the candles just now, and now the whole hall was once again plunged into dead darkness!

"What! Is there another power outage? ”

In the darkness, Ota Katsu, who was already walking on the stairs, couldn't help but wonder, and then shouted downstairs:

"Hey! Hurry up and light the candle again! ”

However, after a moment, the crowd in the hall did not react.

However, it didn't take long for someone to realize the problem -

"Ota! We don't have lighters! Come down! ”

Hiroki Kakutani shouted in the dark.

"Really."

In this regard, Ota Katsu couldn't help but say helplessly, took out the lighter from his pocket, and then lit the lighter, with the light of this faint flame, Ota Katsu cautiously walked down the stairs, returned to the dining table, and used the lighter to relight the candle on the table.

Suddenly, the light of the candle flame once again illuminated the darkness.

And seeing the light on again, the people who were still sitting around the dining table couldn't help but sigh again, and Conan couldn't help but choose to come down from the upper floor, not planning to go out of the window to check the situation for the time being-

"Sister Xiaolan! Behind you! ”

Suddenly, when Conan walked down the stairs and was about to walk towards the dining table, Conan suddenly saw that in front of the wall behind Xiaolan, there was a black figure standing, because it was just blocked by the shadow of Xiaolan reflected on the wall by the candlelight, so this black figure was not very conspicuous-

Hearing Conan's shout, Xiaolan subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see a figure in a black cloak standing behind her, and his face could be seen wrapped in bandages-

"Ahh

At this moment, looking at the "bandage weirdo" close at hand, Xiaolan's fear reached its peak, and she couldn't help but scream.

The rest of the people present were also stupefied by the sudden appearance of the "bandage freak".

Xiaolan, Hiroki Kakutani, and Amamiya Dunzi were already stunned, their bodies were scared as if they couldn't move at all, and the garden fainted in fear, and Ryoichi Takahashi held his head in his hands in fear, lying on the table and trembling-

"Hey! What are you afraid of? He's just one man! ”

At the critical moment, Ota Katsu plucked up his courage and shouted loudly to everyone, and Conan had already run, in this candle-lit hall, ready to rush to Xiaolan to protect Xiaolan.

However, the "bandage freak" did not care about the others present at all, and rushed straight to Katsu Ota, who had a sense of resistance.

Seeing this, Ota Katsu couldn't help but be frightened by the other party's momentum, and reacted sluggishly for a moment, when Ota Katsu gritted his teeth and was about to take the initiative to fight back, the "bandage monster" had already thrown up his cloak, and all the candles that had just been lit in front of Ota Katsu were extinguished at once, and the entire hall was once again plunged into darkness!

However, just when everyone thought that the "bandage monster" would take advantage of the darkness to make more terrible moves, it seemed that nothing had happened, and Takato's shouts had already come from not far away, and even the candlelight in Takato's hand gradually shone into the hall.

So, Katsu Ota, who reacted, picked up the lighter again and lit the candle in the hall.

And after Gao Yuan came over, he found out-

Xiao Ai, I don't know when, it's gone!
