"Buzz buzz buzz buzz woo woo..."
The roar of the large air-conditioning main unit in the air-conditioning room suddenly changed, then became weaker and weaker, and then finally disappeared completely, and the outside of the air-conditioning room fell into silence.
This department store has very long business hours. It usually opens at six in the morning and closes at ten in the evening. The machines in the air-conditioning room also rest during those hours.
But it was still daytime, and this abnormality made the succubus Duo Baili very uneasy. After a while, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the air-conditioning room, causing the succubus to shrink her whole body.
“I’m going to die now…”
Exhaustion and irrecoverable pain, coupled with the oppressive atmosphere of the abyss and the fear of the past few days, made Duo Baili feel like her nerves were about to break.
The two mechanics, carrying their tool kits, walked down the corridor to the air-conditioning room.
One was an older man in his fifties, and the other looked to be a young man in his early twenties, wearing a dark blue uniform and chatting along the way.
"I think the circuit breaker may have overloaded and burned out. This large air conditioner won't break down so easily."
"This equipment has been used for several years. Considering the intensity of use in this mall, it might really break down."
"If that's the case, it would be much easier. After confirmation, we just need to wait for the air conditioner manufacturer to send someone over."
The two walked to the outside of the machine room and stood still, looking into the room through the glass door. Except for the sunlight coming through the rain-proof grille window on the outside, the lights inside were dim.
"That shouldn't be the case. The lighting system and the equipment operation power supply are separate. The mall didn't have a power outage, did it?"
The older one muttered.
"Master Zhao, stop guessing. Let's go in and take a look!"
The young man's name is Zhou Zhigang, and he has already opened the spring door and gone in.
After all, it was daytime, and although the room was dim, the lighting was still okay. However, if you want to check some places in detail, you need two people to use flashlights.
In the corner of the small balcony on the outer wall, Duo Baili huddled there motionless, nervously staring at the beams of light that occasionally flashed through the grille doors and windows. She could also vaguely hear the conversation of the two devils inside, as if they were discussing what went wrong here.
The two of them checked one by one, and then they smelled a slight burnt smell. Master Zhao opened an external accessory protection box, and the burnt smell suddenly became much stronger.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the electrical connection is burnt. Well, the protection device tripped on its own. The air conditioner should be fine!"
After Master Zhao said this, he took out his mobile phone, opened a file and started to scroll through it.
"Got it. We have a replacement for the electrical appliance. I'll go get it. You just wait here!"
Old Zhao is a man who can't sit still. This kind of thing should be done by young people, but he just left after he finished speaking.
Zhou Zhigang scratched his scalp and shone the flashlight on the ceiling.
"And the lamp?"
I pressed a few switches just now and there was no response. Could they all be broken, or is there just a problem with the wires here?
As a mechanic in a department store, you actually have some equipment and electrical maintenance skills. Of course, they don't need to be very deep. You just need to be able to handle basic problems. When you move up to the professional field, the manufacturer will naturally step in.
Zhou Zhigang went to several switches and sockets and probed the sockets with a test pen.
“Sizzle, sizzle… sizzle…”
As the taillight of the electric pen lit up and the interior lights became dim, Zhou Zhigang was startled.
As soon as I took away the electric pen, the lights in the room dimmed again. This happened every time I tried it several times.
'What is the principle?'
After wiping the sweat off his face, Zhou Zhigang stopped trying. Although he was puzzled, he didn't feel that it was a supernatural event. He just planned to check the circuit in detail with Master Zhao later.
"This room is a bit stuffy. I guess this is the only place in the entire mall that doesn't have air conditioning!"
After looking at the grille doors and windows, Zhou Zhigang walked forward, opened the door lock with a "click", and then pulled it back with force.
A breeze blew in from outside, bringing coolness to the room.
There is also a large flowerpot on the small balcony outside, but the potted plants on it have long withered. I don’t know who had the idea to put potted plants here.
Zhou Zhigang walked to the balcony and stretched, looking at the streets and greenery in the distance, the bustling traffic and pedestrians. It was hard to imagine that everyone was in a state of constant fear a few years ago.
“Ding Dong~”
The text message alert sounded on the mobile phone, and Zhou Zhigang took out his phone to check it. However, the moment he took out the phone and picked it up, he saw Duo Baili at the corner of the balcony through the reflection of the phone screen.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Zhigang turned his head.
“Oh hey!!”
Zhou Zhigang was shocked. There was actually someone hiding on this balcony!
Because of his actions, the succubus Duo Baili shrank even tighter, holding her head with both hands and not daring to move.
"Uh… who are you?"
"Gu..."
Zhou Zhigang swallowed and felt a little hot. He saw a pair of small curved horns between Duo Baili's hands as she held her head. It was obviously not a human.
Moreover, the other person was completely naked, from her arms and neck to her waist, and then to the base of her curled thighs and buttocks, without a single piece of cloth. Even though she was curled up there, it was obvious that she had a very hot body.
There were obvious scars on the opponent's arms, shoulders, waist, legs, etc., and some of them looked like the blood had not completely dried up. It seemed that he had experienced something tragic.
"Um...you seem injured...don't, don't be afraid...I'm a good person...uh..."
Zhou Zhigang was a little incoherent. After a while, he suddenly realized what was going on and quickly took off his work jacket.
Seeing him approaching, the succubus tried to retreat in fear, but when she realized she had nowhere to retreat, she opened her hands to show her sharp nails, but the wounds on her hands were severe, with almost all of her nails broken and stained with blood.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...I won't hurt you!"
Zhou Zhigang moved very carefully and approached slowly. In the other person's frightened eyes, he gently put the clothes on Duo Baili, and then carefully stepped back.
This devil really didn't hurt her. Although she was still afraid, Duo Baili's rapid breathing finally eased a little.
"Xiao Zhou! Xiao Zhou? Are you on the balcony?"
Master Zhao's voice sounded in the air-conditioning room. When he came back, he found that Zhou Zhigang was not there. The door of the air-conditioning room was open but Zhou Zhigang was not seen at the door.
"Hey!! I'm here, come in right away."
Zhou Zhigang made a "hush" gesture to Duo Baili and spoke in a low voice.
"Hide here and don't move. I, I will come back to help you, understand? Um...nod if you understand."
Seeing that the nervous succubus didn't react at all, Zhou Zhigang had to hurry into the computer room. It would be bad if Lao Zhao came out and saw this "girl" around the corner.
He knew that there really were some magical creatures and monsters in the world, and he also understood that the best thing to do in this situation was to call the police, but what would happen to this "girl" if he called the police?
Zhou Zhigang didn’t know which one he felt more, sympathy or selfishness.
After entering the door, Zhou Zhigang did not forget to close the grille door.
"Xiao Zhou, where's your coat?"
"Ah? Oh, well, I just went to the bathroom and I might have pooped. It's okay, I'll get it later. Let's fix the air conditioner first."
The conversation between Lao Zhao and Zhou Zhigang could be heard from inside the house.
Duo Baili calmed her breathing, turned her head to look at her work clothes, and rubbed them curiously. They were full of Zhou Zhigang's scent.
He huddled in a corner, took a deep breath and let out a careful breath.
The sound of "hissing, hissing, hissing..." of electric current was heard.
The two people who were repairing the electrical appliance found that all the lights in the room suddenly lit up.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Well, it's already done, why so much? Master Zhao, my classmate sent me two boxes of tea, I think they're pretty good, but I don't drink tea, I'll get you a box tomorrow."
"Oh? That's a good feeling. What kind of tea?"
"It seems to be Biluochun."
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Zhigang quietly came to the air-conditioning room alone, holding a black bag in his hand, which contained a set of women's clothing.
With a creak, the grille door was opened.
Zhou Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief. The "girl" was huddled in her original place in her work clothes. When she saw him coming, she looked up at him with a faint blush in her eyes.
