Matsumae Shinchun closed her eyes slightly and smiled softly at her. The small teardrop mole under the right corner of her eye showed the elegance and charm of a lady from a noble family.
At this time, the white fox standing on the girl's shoulder was also staring at Fujii Itsuki in the opposite direction.
Chapter 90 The Night the Thief Came
"power cut?"
The desk lamp and chandelier went out together, and the laptop entered battery life mode, with the power off icon flashing and the screen brightness dimmed.
Before Fujii Itsuki could even stop writing, the room fell into darkness.
I was about to finish my lesson plan in half an hour, but now this happened -
It's a really annoying situation.
But the power outage was a power outage, and Fujii Itsuki had no choice but to leave his seat, go to the window, and look outside in the faint moonlight.
The street lights far in the distance were on.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is not bad, at least it proves that the power outage is not in the entire area.
If the whole area loses power, it will be troublesome. At the speed of the Otaru government, the power supply will not be restored for three or four days.
How will he work then?
The phone only has 15% battery left.
Turning on the flashlight function on his mobile phone, Fujii Itsuki walked out of the room.
He turned on the flashlight on his phone and left the room, guessing there might be a short circuit somewhere that tripped the switch and left the whole house without power.
But since he wasn't sure where the main circuit breaker of Jiuhua's house was, he could only grope along the corner of the wall.
Fujii Itsuki's cell phone can only illuminate a small corner.
Jiuhua’s house occupies a large area and is an old European-style house.
Although the furniture here is of good quality and made of gilded wood, it is after all old items that have not been used for many years. When it turns black, it has a bit of the atmosphere of a horror game.
He came out of the bedroom, walked around the lobby, and looked around, but couldn't find the location of the switch.
So he had to look around the open kitchen.
But there was nothing here, so he could only feel his way over.
The moon was covered by black clouds and the house was too dark. Fujii Itsuki seemed to hear some strange noises on the right and thought it was Jiuhua, so he followed the sound and walked over there.
Coincidentally, a message popped up on the phone at this moment.
[Battery power is less than 5%, shutting down soon]
Fujii Itsuki originally wanted to turn off the flashlight and rely solely on the screen for light, but he didn't expect that the battery life of this Apple phone was so unreliable.
It just showed 5%, and the next second it dropped to 3%, then 1%, and finally shut down.
The whole process takes less than a minute...
Now the only source of light disappeared completely.
"."
Fujii Itsuki was helpless and could only move forward in the dark. He thought it was Jiuhua who made the noise just now.
"Jiuhua! Jiuhua!"
"."
No response.
Strange. Could it be that Jiuhua has fallen asleep?
What was that sound just now?
He's not a thief, is he?
Could it be that the sudden power outage was caused by a thief?
Fujii Itsuki became alert, he shut his mouth, walked lightly, and groped forward in the darkness.
It was pitch black everywhere and I couldn't see anything.
He stretched out his hand and suddenly touched something soft. The other party was obviously frightened, his hand paused, and he shrank back.
"Who is it?!"
"Nine flowers?"
"Uncle?"
The two talked in the dark.
"Uncle, you scared me to death! I thought it was some pervert who sneaked into my house and touched my shoulder."
Fujii Itsuki first gestured for her to be at ease, then asked, "What's going on?"
Nothing can be seen here, and Jiuhuayue is completely hidden in the darkness.
"I don't know. Suddenly the power went out. I heard some noise, and then I heard you calling me, so I came out."
“You didn’t pay the electricity bill?”
"I have an electricity bill. I paid it at a convenience store not long ago."
"Then why did it break? By the way, why were you on the first floor?"
".The water heater upstairs is broken, I'm coming downstairs to take a shower."
Then this should be the door to the bathroom on the first floor.
"You're not naked, are you?"
"Yes! There is a bath towel! Don't ask questions like this when you already know the answer. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't respond to you?"
Strange.
He came closer because he heard the noise and then shouted.
But Jiuhua also came out of the bathroom after hearing some noise.
This shows that both people are attracted by the same movement.
Who is that?
It can’t be really haunted.
At this moment, Fujii Itsuki suddenly caught a glimpse of a reflected metallic color in the darkness out of the corner of his right eye.
The faint light flashed by not far away.
"who--?!"
He shouted immediately, and then heard very clear footsteps.
Oh no, a thief really broke in!
"Uncle! Don't scare me! Where are the other people?"
"I'm not so bored as to scare you at this time."
Fujii Itsuki realized that something was wrong and, based on the sound of her voice, stood in front of Jiuhua.
"Is there really someone there?"
"Um"
Fujii Itsuki was sure that he was not mistaken. The reflection he saw just now should be the moonlight reflected by some metal object.
"Jiuhua, where's your cell phone?"
"It's upstairs. Where's yours, uncle?"
"Mine's out of battery."
Fujii Itsuki frowned. He didn't know the purpose of the thief breaking into Jiuhua's house. If he came to steal money, it would be fine. Such a person would not have the courage to attack others.
I'm afraid it's some kind of perversion.
Fujii Itsuki retreated while blocking Jiuhuayue behind him.
If he was not mistaken, the thief must have brought some metal object into the house, which was very dangerous. His loud roar just now obviously scared him.
"Uncle."
"Hush! Move slowly and try not to make any noise. We don't know why they came in. Do you have any valuables here?"
Fujii Itsuki was blocked by something. He reached out and grasped a wine bottle. He immediately realized that it was next to the cabinet in the open kitchen.
There just happened to be a row of beers on it that he had bought but had not had time to drink yet.
There is wind blowing in from outside
Fujii Itsuki is located close to this location.
Jiu Huayue was so nervous that she didn't dare to speak loudly: "My own money is in the wallet upstairs. That's all I have for living expenses."
"Money is not very important. Try not to conflict with the other party if possible."
Just then, there was a sound of someone coming down the stairs on the second floor.
more than one!
Fujii Itsuki was panicked. It would be okay if he was alone, he could just deal with it, but at worst he could just let the other party take the money and leave.
I guess the other party just wants to steal money and won’t waste any time on me.
But if it's two adult male accomplices, it's a different story.
Fujii Itsuki became more and more nervous. He could clearly hear his own breathing and heartbeat.
He can't see anything now, but how does the other party know the way?
Judging from the noise, the other party was obviously moving.
