Chapter 5: The Night of the Power Outage

I took a hot bath comfortably, and when I returned to the living room again, Fei'er had fallen asleep on Phantom Night's body, and Xinghan had never seen a vampire who could sleep so well.

I glanced up at the wall clock, I don't know when it had stopped, it seemed that it was too long, and every time the battery was replaced, the clock face was covered with a thick layer of ash.

When the system was called up, it was already half past three in the afternoon, and the rain outside still did not stop.

"Weng ~ Weng ~ " Xing Han glanced at the mobile phone that was adjusted to vibrate, the number seemed to be Alyssa's teacher, I really don't know how she could call herself.

"Hey, Alyssa-sensei, what's the matter?"

"Well, Xinghan, can you come to the academy now, I have something to tell you. Something seemed to have happened to Alyssa's tone, and it seemed to be one of the hard ones to talk about.

It was raining heavily, and if you didn't do rain prevention work, the bath you just took would be in vain.

Picking up an umbrella that looked more reliable, Xing Han didn't wake up Fei'er, and it might be a good choice for her to accompany Phantom Night at home.

After taking a shortcut, it only took ten minutes to arrive at Linglan Academy, and the usually lively school also looked lifeless today.

"Star Cold!"

Teacher Alyssa's familiar voice sounded, and it seemed that she had come to greet her in person.

"Teacher Alyssa, what's wrong, so anxious to let me come over?" Xing Han asked with Alyssa hiding under a roof, with a suspicious expression.

Alyssa paused, but finally replied, "Hoshihan, the principal wants you to return to the first year......"

"What?!"

"Well, I was thinking about it just now...... However, Star Chill, your ability has caught the attention of the experts of the Zero Lan Association. And the sword......" Alyssa stopped suddenly, as if to think about whether to continue.

Xing Han sensed the forbidden sword in the inventory, but there was no movement, it should be that he could not use it temporarily, and the conditions for using it were still unclear.

"What's wrong with that sword, Teacher, what kind of sword is it?" Xing Han asked, leaning against the wall and tilting his head.

"It seems that Xinghan himself doesn't know the origin of that sword, and the answer given by the association is that the weapon you used is the forbidden sword that killed God Myrdal. As for why it's here, Fiya should have given it to you, right?" said Alyssa slowly.

Xing Han shook suddenly: "How does the teacher know ......"

"Hmph, the teacher is also a dual-system ability, don't underestimate people~ I also have a psychic support ability, although it's not aggressive. Alyssa laughed.

"Teacher, I want to know more about Phantom Night. After being silent for a long time, Xing Han finally asked his own question.

Alyssa took out the file on Phantom Night from the folder under her armpit: "I knew you wanted this." ”

"It's not because you have that psychic ability......"

“......”

"Phantom Night, Italian nationality, her father is Italian, her mother is Chinese, she is a mixed race. Has a Light combat ability that allows all weapons to be inflicted with Light for greater aggression. The longest she wielded was a silvery-white pistol named Incandescent Flame. It was an artifact-like being, a birthday present from her father. Alyssa introduced the information that was not on the file, while quietly watching Xing Han flip through more information.

"Teacher, it seems that Phantom Night still has two melee weapons, right?"

"Oh, yes. It was also her go-to weapon, with two swords infused with light, one called Shattered Steel and one called Broken Blade. Both were stolen from the tomb, but it is unknown why they were on hers. ”

After a long time, Xing Han slowly asked, "Teacher, is Phantom Night really her name?"

"No, it's just her own name. It seems that because of the death of both parents, Phantom Night couldn't remember the name given to him by his relatives when he was very young. Hey~ Such a young child really doesn't know how to live in this situation. Alyssa reached out to catch the raindrops dripping from the eaves, and sighed as she sighed.

"Are both parents dead......

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you too...... But Xinghan, the two of you may have something in common. Alyssa suddenly thought that Xinghan had also been an orphan for ten years, and when she apologized, she didn't forget to shorten the distance between the two.

Impossible, Xing Han knows that the reason why he can survive is only because he has the existence of dazzling power, and the system will give Xing Han a lot of living expenses every day, just like signing in the game to receive gold coins. It is only because of this system that we can survive in this money society.

Phantom Night is different, she is just a girl, she has no showmanship, and there is no system that can receive money on a fixed basis every day. It is impossible for them to have much experience in common, and if they have to say anything, they can only say that they are both orphans.

"Alright, teacher, I'm going home. Fei'er and Phantom Night are still at home, and I'm a little uneasy. Xinghan returned the file to Alyssa, held up the umbrella and left under the eaves.

"Well, Hoshihan, can you think about going back to the first grade?" Alyssa tugged at the corner of Xinghan's clothes, and the tone of almost pleading made Xinghan reluctant to refuse.

Xing Han nodded and left the academy in silence.

"Brother, where have you been?!...... "Just opened the door, Fei'er grabbed Xing Han's arm, and her trembling body told Xing Han what had happened.

"Oh, I still have a fever...... I can't help it, Fei'er, help me wipe her body with a hot towel, and I'll go find some medicine. Xinghan tested the temperature of Phantom Night's forehead, it was hot, God knows how long she had been in the rain.

Ten minutes later, Xing Han returned to the living room with a few white pills, but Fei'er's work was not over for the time being. Looking at the allure of Phantom Night's nakedness*, Hoshihan quickly found something else to divert his attention.

"Brother, it's okay!" Fei'er helped Phantom Ye put on her clothes, put the quilt back on, and shouted at Xinghan with a tired face.

"Well, Fei'er go to my room to rest, and I'll take care of the rest. Xing Han made an ok gesture and helped Phantom Night to feed her fever-reducing medicine.

Fei'er glanced at Xinghan, who seemed to be reliable, and turned back to the room.

I've been with Phantom Night until twelve o'clock, anyway, tomorrow is Saturday, and it doesn't matter how late I sleep.

"Cough, cough ......" At about two o'clock in the morning, Xinghan actually took a nap in a daze, and the coughing sound of the phantom night could be faintly heard in the blur.

"Phantom Night, are you awake?" Xing Han looked at the TV that had no signal, and then looked down at the curled up Phantom Night.

No one responded, but could feel a slight shaking of Phantom Night's body: "Phantom Night, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Phantom Night closed his eyes and nodded, apparently still awake.

With Xing Han's support to the bathroom, Phantom Night said slowly: "Thank you, I can do it myself." ”

"Oh, something called me. Xinghan leaned against the wall, waiting for the call of the Phantom Night.

For a long time, there was still no sound of phantom night coming from the bathroom, and Xing Han was still patiently waiting at the door of the bathroom.

"Well, what's your name?"

"Star Chill. ”

"Oh, got it. ”

Phantom Night had been in the bathroom for a full hour, making no noise and unable to make out any movement in the ground glass.

"Click!" suddenly it became dark in the room, and the sound of electrical appliances became quieter, and all that could be heard was the sound of rain outside the window.

"Xinghan?!What's wrong?!It's so dark......" The sound of Phantom Night finally came from the bathroom.

Xing Han felt the darkness to find the flashlight and replied, "It seems that the power is off, are you okay?"

"I ...... How could I, there ...... something" Phantom Night's trembling voice seemed to be a little afraid of the darkness.

"Why don't you come out first, you look scared. Xing Han searched the entire living room and didn't find the flashlight he wanted, listening to the seemingly scared voice of Phantom Night, he always felt that it would be better to let her out first.

Opening the door of the bathroom, Phantom Night slammed into Xing Han's body, and her constantly trembling body made her have to be well protected at this moment.

"Xinghan, find a way to power up...... It's so dark!" Phantom Night's slightly childish fist landed on Xing Han's chest, I don't know if it was because of the weak debuff or if she was already afraid of the darkness, and she didn't seem to be pushing too hard.

Xing Han pushed Phantom Night's head vigorously: "Phantom Night, you hold me like this, how can I power you!"

"Oh, got it, then I'm fine. As soon as the words fell, Xing Han felt a burst of relief in his chest, and then his left arm was hugged tightly.

"Forget it, that's fine. Phantom Night, your ability helps me shine a light, I can't find the flashlight. Xing Han came to the window with Phantom Night, and that place was the only one in the house that was still a little brighter.

Phantom Night replied slowly, "That...... I don't have any abilities right now, and I don't have any power in my body. ”

"Well, that's the only way to try. Xing Han condensed a ball of blue ice flame in his hand, although the vision was still unclear, but it was much better than a darkness.

If it's just a fire-based ability, it's definitely a illuminating artifact, but because Starchill's dual-line ability of ice and fire has just awakened, and it can't control the separation of ice and fire, the visibility of ice and flame is only a pitiful meter to one and a half meters.

"Phantom Night, watch your step...... Ah!" Before the words fell, Xing Han felt a burst of gravity in his waist, and Phantom Night seemed to have stepped on something and fell down with him.

"Ah~ Xinghan, it hurts......" Phantom Night rubbed his forehead that hit the floor and gently poked Xinghan under him.

After some tossing, the two finally found the reason for the power outage with difficulty, and the electrical box used to supply power outside the villa seemed to have been damaged by lightning. In this case, you can only stay up until dawn and then find a specialist to fix it.

"Huh, wait until dawn...... But it's so dark here. Phantom Night looked around vigilantly, as if something was going to run out of nowhere.

Xing Han patted Phantom Night's head and smiled, "I remember that there are still candles in my parents' room, waiting for me, I'll be back right away." ”

"No, I'm going with you. Phantom Night shook her head and grabbed Xinghan tightly.

In desperation, I had to drag the phantom night to the room where my parents lived before their deaths, and the candles in front of the mourning hall shone on the statue, which gave people a somewhat eerie feeling.

"Xinghan ......" Phantom Night gently tugged at Xinghan's sleeve and whispered.

"Ah, it's okay, they're my parents, they've been dead for ten years, but they're very good people. Well, these candles should be enough. Xinghan opened the drawer and took out about a dozen candles.

Back in the living room, light a candle with an ice flame, although the light is weak, but it can also cover most of the living room.

"Whew-" It wasn't until the candle was lit that Phantom Night was reluctant to leave the starry cold.

"That's, Hoshihan...... Are you an orphan?" asked Phantom Night, looking at the flickering light of the candle, quietly.

Xing Han nodded, "Yes, it's the same as the Phantom Night." ”

"Oh, that's right. I really want to know more about you, there are few people who can accompany me like this......" Phantom Night hugged his knees and sat on the sofa, swaying from side to side with the swaying of the candlelight.
