Chapter 66

Blackness spread silently in the living room. Everyone froze in place, and the pitch-black environment brought them back to the past three days ago.

What happened to the rich second-generation young master three days ago seemed to happen to them again, with an inexplicable weirdness.

The sound of the air conditioner brought a chill to the room. The four people sat in silence for a while, and then a white light suddenly lit up in the darkness, revealing a hideous human face.

“What the hell!!!”

Luo Dong screamed and was the first to be frightened. He almost fell backwards to the ground. He was only able to stabilize himself when Gu Qingming quickly grabbed him.

"Calm down, calm down."

Gu Qingming comforted Luo Dong and said, "Look who that familiar face is."

Luo Dong trembled as he opened his tightly closed eyes, only to see Zheng Qiuji, who was holding a mobile phone camera and scaring him, sticking out his tongue at him.

"Zheng! Qiu! Festival!"

Luo Dong was furious and rolled up his sleeves to punch the other party.

Zheng Qiuji took the opportunity to hide behind the sofa, shouting something like "Don't hit me in the face, I'm a hero", and pulled Chu Zhongyuan into the battlefield.

The tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant, torn apart by the fight between a few high school students.

Gu Qingming turned his back to the three noisy people and sighed: Even ghosts think these guys are too stupid and don't bother to scare them.

He expressed his speechlessness at the fact that a reliable minor was forced to be a male mother among a group of unreliable minors.

Gu Qingming turned on the camera on his mobile phone and took out a flashlight from the cabinet in his memory - Luo Dong's house had indeed maintained the layout he remembered a few years ago, even the placement of the flashlight had not changed.

Gu Qingming turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the surrounding rooms, trying to check the illumination level of the flashlight. As a result, under the light, a long, dim shadow flashed by, as hazy as a layer of mist.

"What?!"

Gu Qingming didn't think about the inner world for the time being. He thought it was someone who broke in, so he took a few steps and rushed into the guest bedroom.

The three high school students who were still fighting in the back immediately stood at attention, turned on their flashlights while running, and followed Gu Qingming over.

But strangely, there was nothing.

When Gu Qingming rushed to the place where he had just seen the strange long shadow, there was nothing there.

The guest room was neatly arranged and looked clean and tidy having been cleaned by the cleaning staff during the day.

"Strange... I clearly saw it..."

A light indoor aroma wafts from the bedside, with a refreshing woody scent mixed with slightly damp water vapor, just like a rainy night outside.

Gu Qingming shone the flashlight on the ground, and sure enough, he saw a blurry light of water where the shadow had been.

It was a layer of... water marks that seemed to be formed by some kind of reptile, as if just now, in the heavy rain outside, something rushed into the room and then quickly escaped.

He quickly shone the flashlight along the water. The translucent water stains melted on the ground. The opponent's speed was too fast and it looked like it was about to dry up.

"...When the rich second generation got into trouble, his neighbors also heard a strange sticky sound..."

Luo Dong muttered to himself. He quickly associated the situation in front of him with the strange sound as if something was crawling on the dry floor, and then thought of the poor rich second generation who was still in the ICU.

They are so similar. Their current experiences are exactly the same as the experience of that rich second generation before the accident.

"We can't be so lucky... Another success?"

Chu Zhongyuan also looked a little speechless. Who knew that they had finally had two weeks of temporary stability in their CPA work and they had just rested for not long before encountering strange things in Qianlong Lake Villa District.

He now has some doubts as to whether the evil dragon in the legend of Qianlong Lake really exists.

After all, according to the explanation of the mysterious factor, everything is possible.

"The best thing is performance. I'm afraid that as an ordinary person, I can't use my superpowers and will be afraid to fight."

Gu Qingming rarely made a joke, seemingly trying to ease the tense atmosphere, but he didn't expect Luo Dong and the others to look as if they had a toothache when they heard his words.

Gu Qingming was silent for a while.

"I won't attack ordinary people."

He was forced to explain.

"I'm not a violent person."

Luo Dong recalled Gu Qingming knocking Keobe unconscious with a smack, and said with emotion: "There are exceptions sometimes."

Gu Qingming: ???

Following the water marks, the water stains evaporated near the balcony door of the guest room. Gu Qingming did not hesitate and boldly opened the balcony door. The drizzle and humid outside air blinded the high school students and almost made them think they had returned to the secret place of Shuhe Town. As soon as they opened the door, they saw the houses collapsed in a mess.

Someone opened the balcony window. The delicately carved window frame hit the frame in the wind, making an eerie creaking sound, making the surroundings seem extremely empty.

There were muddy marks all over the window sill, as if something had crawled over there.

Gu Qingming opened the window and looked outside, letting the rain wet his hair.

The guest rooms are located on the second floor. I saw that the villas not far away were all terribly dark. However, it was not because of the power outage. The rich people in the villa area have more than one property. If you count them, there are basically not many people living in the lakeside area at any time period.

On the side of the wall near the window, brown marks meandered towards the window.

He paused, then snapped the window shut and locked it.

"Something came in through the window along the wall."

Gu Qingming looked a little ugly.

"There are no footprints, and the traces it has winding along the wall don't look like...human beings."

He uttered the last two words with difficulty.

"……wrong."

Chu Zhongyuan pulled Gu Qingming over and ran to the windows of other rooms first, and found that they were still locked tightly and there was no sign of being opened.

"…That thing may not have left yet. The darkness is not good for us. The most urgent task is to find out the cause of the power outage."

A fluorescent wave lit up around Chu Zhongyuan. For people with special abilities, mobile phone flashlights and handheld flashlights were not as useful as the en factor that could emit light by itself. After all, the latter could illuminate the surrounding area in 360 degrees without blind spots.

"Could it be that the circuit breaker tripped? Or maybe there was a device malfunction because it was raining so hard outside?"

Gu Qingming expressed his guess that there are only a few reasons for the suspension of electricity supply to general residents.

"In any case, it's definitely not due to arrears..."

Luo Dong's weak ability to use money eliminated the most unlikely option for everyone.

"Then let's go down to the switch and take a look."

The fluorescent water around Chu Zhongyuan shone with blue light, almost turning him into a Smurf.

The four of them drove their own en factors to the first floor. After all, Luo Dong's villa was a villa. It had an independent courtyard and two inner floors. The first floor was a large living room, kitchen, study and other offices and daily places, and the second floor was a meeting room, bedroom and bathroom.

The power switch was located near the entrance of the villa. On the pitch-black stairs, a huge thunder roared outside, scaring Zheng Qiuji, who was walking at the end, so much that he shuddered.

"I should have known earlier that I shouldn't have let Aunt and the others go..."

Luo Dong's voice was trembling terribly. In order to make it more convenient for the four people with special powers to have a happy weekend, he even dismissed all the nannies in the villa tonight. Unexpectedly, he encountered strange things at night.

"...Think positively. At least if that thing is really mysterious, it will be easier for us to destroy it if there are no ordinary people on the scene."

Chu Zhongyuan's voice was still relaxed, which more or less calmed the tension in the hearts of several people.

They moved towards the switch, and at the moment when the light illuminated the plastic shell of the switch, Gu Qingming uttered a strange voice.

"Luo Dong, have you replaced the outer casing of the switch? I remember it wasn't replaced before - be careful!"

Gu Qingming reacted halfway through his speech and pulled Luo Dong, who was walking in front, back to avoid the sudden attack.

I saw that the originally translucent switch was covered with a layer of strange mud, and it was a disgusting brown color.

An indistinguishable slender creature covered in mud, as if it had just crawled out of a muddy swamp in the lake, was making a hissing sound and suddenly biting Luo Dong who was trying to get close to the switch.

“I—go!”

Luo Dong's voice paused in fright. He had the highest myopia among the four people, and in the dim environment he didn't realize that something was wrong with the switch.

"snake?"

Chu Zhongyuan, who grew up in Linling, had seen many long insects frozen to death in the snow in winter. He immediately saw through the true face of the huge monster covered in mud coiled on the switch.

“This is too big?!”

Chu Zhongyuan quickly prepared to teleport at any time. The Compendium of Superpowers only said that superpowers cannot be used on ordinary people, but it did not say that they cannot be used on ordinary animals. The speed of snake attacks is extremely fast. If humans are not prepared in advance, they will not be able to react at all.

This is true even for people with special abilities who are much stronger than ordinary people in every aspect.

"Be careful, this guy is poisonous."

Gu Qingming's eyesight was best in the dark night because of the influence of the chalk haze. He could clearly see the beautiful multi-colored patterns on the snake wrapped in the mud shell.

Bright colors, after all, can't be harmless.

He tried to draw a wind rope out of it and put it on the snake's head to fix it by the seven inches. The snake struggled frantically, but was still locked because of the ubiquitous wind, with only its tail swinging everywhere.

“Chu Zhongyuan!”

Gu Qingming shouted, but he didn't need to remind him, a fluorescent wave of water flashed by, and Chu Zhongyuan had already condensed the space in the snake's mouth, preventing it from opening its mouth to bite people.

"Phew, solved."

Chu Zhongyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to the kitchen window with Gu Qingming, opened the window, and threw the snake out.

"This side is not far from the lake shore. It should have climbed up from the reeds."

Luo Dong hates this kind of reptile the most, he added while trying to suppress the gooseflesh.

"But fortunately, there was no danger."

Gu Qingming breathed a sigh of relief. He had not expected that with the help of supernatural powers, solving things that were usually very difficult would become so easy.

Several people pulled open the plastic shell outside the power switch. Fortunately, the power outage was only caused by a circuit breaker. Chu Zhongyuan pulled the switch, and the long-lost light returned to the house.

Gu Qingming paused as he looked at the traces left by the snake.

For some reason, when he tried to catch the snake just now, he always had a strange feeling that the snake didn't seem to attack him.

He shook his head and looked into the bright room. A dark and hoarse voice like a snake hissed in his ear: "Two bells have already sounded. Next, this is the third one."

Gu Qingming looked up suddenly and met the equally surprised faces of others.

Sorry, sorry, I am reviewing computer level 2 today, so I only have time to update QQ now.
