281. Chapter 278 New 0252 The white light that shatters dreams
"It's impossible to kneel down, but you can still consider lighting a few sticks of incense."
Li Mengnan said in a lazy tone, he was really not afraid of anyone other than talking loudly.
Xia Yutian couldn't understand what Li Mengnan meant, so her face suddenly changed and she said in a gloomy tone: "Curse me to death? Humph, to tell you the truth, there are many people who want me to die, but do you know where they are now?
Just because you were lucky enough to escape this time does not mean that you will be able to escape next time... And I heard that you also have two very beautiful sisters. Don't worry, I won't kill you directly, I will kill you with my own eyes.
You saw how I took good care of them, hahahaha!"
Hearing the silence on the other side of the phone, Xia Yutian thought it was Li Mengnan who was afraid, and couldn't help but feel a little prouder, saying arrogantly: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance, as long as you can take the initiative to send your two sisters over to serve me for a few days,
Perhaps this young master will consider letting you forget the blame..."
After a long time, a faint sigh came from the phone.
"Every time I meet a 2B like you, I worry about the future of humanity on this planet... Young Master Xia, I have to tell you a very unfortunate news - you have offended me."
"Heh, do you think I, Xia Yutian, am scared?"
Xia Yutian had an arrogant look on his face, completely unaware that he was going further and further on the road of committing suicide.
Tsk-!
The lights in the bathroom flickered quickly on and off a few times, then suddenly plunged into darkness.
Xia Yutian sat up from the bathtub, fumbled for a large bath towel and simply dried his body. He walked out of the bathroom barefoot, grabbed the nightgown from the edge of the bed in the bedroom and put it on himself.
Outside the window, the high-rise residential areas across the river showed dark outlines in the moonlight, with no lights visible.
power failure?
Xia Yutian was a little unexpected. The community where he lives is one of the top high-end communities in Sanshan City. The power supply lines are dedicated lines for special units such as hospitals and schools. In the past three years of living here, this has never happened.
A power outage situation like today.
However, even if there is a power outage, there is no need to worry. In order to cope with such emergencies, the community was specially equipped with a set of diesel power supply units when it was originally built.
Of course, this is a special treatment that only villa owners can enjoy.
Ten minutes passed, and Nanlihe still had not received the long-awaited light. He was extremely angry at the low efficiency of the property management department. He took out his mobile phone and tried to call the property management switchboard to question, but unexpectedly found that his mobile phone had no signal.
Could it be that the power outage affected the signal transmission tower? So how big is the scale of this power outage?
Xia Yutian looked out the window again with suspicion. Unfortunately, the view of the villa area was blocked by the surrounding high-rise buildings, and he could only see a little hazy skylight.
Subconsciously, he felt that this power outage without warning seemed strange, so he decided to go out to see how serious the situation was.
Just when he was about to leave the room, he found to his disbelief that the bedroom door could not be opened no matter what!
"Fuck! What's going on?"
Xia Yutian kicked the door of the room several times like he was venting his anger. The imported high-strength indoor door that he had purchased at a high price now became the culprit that trapped his freedom. Not only was it not damaged on the surface, it almost broke his foot.
One incredible thing can be understood as an accident, but if multiple incredible things happen at the same time, it is inevitable.
Li Mengnan.
For some reason, this name suddenly appeared in Xia Yutian's mind.
He still clearly remembers the strange experience of being sealed in a different space that day outside the Godfather nightclub.
Xia Yutian has never dared to confront Li Mengnan face to face, fearing that the other party would repeat his old tricks, but he couldn't figure it out. This time he didn't even see the other party, he just answered a phone call, how could he fall into this strange situation again?
in the space?
Cluck cluck——!
A series of strange sounds suddenly sounded in the dark bathroom, which sounded very much like the sound effects in a classic Japanese horror film. Although the sound was extremely slight, it seemed extremely harsh in this silent room where the drop of a needle could be heard.
Xia Yutian dared to guarantee with his life that he had never heard such a strange sound at home before.
In an instant, a cold air rose from the soles of his feet and went straight to the top of his head, and goose bumps as big as millet grains covered his whole body.
"Who... who's in the bathroom?"
Xia Yutian's teeth chattered loudly. After trying several times, he managed to turn on the flashlight function of his phone and shined a light into the crack of the dark door leading to the bathroom.
For some reason, the more frightened he became, the more he wanted to know what was behind the darkness.
The strange sound suddenly stopped, as if everything just happened was just Xia Yutian's illusion, and the silence in the room returned to the previous state.
But this silent silence is even more terrifying than before.
Holding the bedside lamp in one hand as a self-defense weapon and holding a mobile phone for lighting in the other, Xia Yutian bravely opened the bathroom door lightly.
The smooth tiles still dripping with water reflected the light from the mobile phone, giving the small bathroom a strange and pale color.
A water droplet fell from the showerhead hanging on the wall, making a crisp and sweet sound, and creating several ripples on the water surface of the bottleneck bathtub.
Nothing unusual.
Xia Yutian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Maybe he was too nervous. Maybe this was really just a simple power outage.
He turned around and was about to return to the bedroom when an inexplicable gust of wind blew in the bathroom, which had no window at all, and the stained glass door closed automatically with a bang.
An unknown premonition suddenly arose in Xia Yutian's heart.
Sure enough, no matter how hard he pulled, the bathroom door remained motionless as if it was welded shut.
Squeak——!
A strange scene happened. The water filling switch of the bathtub suddenly turned on its own. The steaming water continued to gush out at several times the normal speed, and soon overflowed the bathtub, causing water to accumulate on the ground.
Instead of draining the accumulated water, the floor drain in the bathroom began to overflow from the bottom up at the same speed, causing the water level in the bathroom to rise at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it was already above Xia Yutian's ankles.
.
"What the hell! What the hell is going on!"
Xia Yutian picked up the heavy copper table lamp base in his hand and knocked on all the doors and windows of the bathroom. His eyes were horrified, as if he was crazy.
Although he didn't know what happened, he knew very well that if he couldn't escape as soon as possible or drain the water out, he would die when the water filled the entire bathroom.
But he soon became desperate. The seemingly fragile door and window glass was now strangely strong. When the heavy desk lamp base was hit, it was like hitting solid granite. The huge reaction force shook him and he almost collapsed several times.
Take off the desk lamp.
The water level continued to rise at a rate of almost twenty centimeters per minute, and soon it was up to Xia Yutian's neck.
At this height, his feet began to lift off the ground, and he had to rely on treading water to maintain his breathing and body balance.
He had already thrown the heavy lamp holder into the water. Under the resistance of the water flow, he had completely lost hope of breaking through the doors and windows.
The water level rose faster and faster, and he could even touch the bathroom ceiling with his hand. Xia Yutian kept swimming in the water with his mobile phone, looking for the signal that seemed to have completely disappeared.
Although he realized that this stupid move was probably just a useless effort, his survival instinct kept him from giving up this last life-saving straw.
Perhaps Xia Yutian's piety moved God. Just when his head started to reach the ceiling, a phone call actually came in.
"Young Master Xia, did you enjoy taking a bath?"
"Help...ahem, help! Help me quickly! I will give you whatever money you want! No matter what the conditions are, I will promise you!"
Xia Yutian choked on his saliva as soon as he opened his mouth. The fear of death had completely made him lose his dignity and he was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Hey, Young Master Xia, money is something you don't take with you whether you live or die. It's already this time, why don't you still look away? You're not aware enough..."
"I'm blind! You, sir, have a lot of trouble. Please let me go! I promise I will never trouble you again!" Xia Yutian was about to collapse at this moment, and he was crying in his voice.
It would be a lie to say that he has no regrets. Xia Yutian wanted to slap himself in the face at this moment. If he had known that this would happen, he would not have dared to provoke this evil star even if he had the courage.
"Young Master Xia, your speech is not in line with your status as a villain boss. Crying and begging for mercy is just a line for a young man. Your B level has dropped too much... Forget it, I guess there is not much time left.
If it’s too much, you’d better take the time to say your last words.”
Li Mengnan expressed that he was disappointed that the BOSS was not domineering enough, which directly affected his sense of accomplishment in completing the dungeon.
"Save...save me, I...don't want to die."
Xia Yutian only had time to send out a few vague calls for help before the rising water level ruthlessly deprived her of her last breath.
My ears suddenly became quiet, and there was only a slight sound of gurgling water. The mobile phone, which was still in call mode for a limited time, came out of my hand. It rotated in the water in slow motion and slowly fell, landing on the bottom of the pool. After a moment, it finally went out.
A ray of light.
Drowning is one of the most painful ways to die.
The continuous choking on water made Xia Yutian's nose and lungs feel like they were on fire, and his limbs were uncontrollably scratching at all accessible objects around him.
As time went by, this pain did not diminish, but his consciousness gradually moved away from him.
Just when Xia Yutian was about to lose his last bit of consciousness, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the space out of thin air.
In a daze, he seemed to vaguely see a strange creature with a single horn on its head, which looked like a hybrid between a lion and a lizard, rushing out of the white light, with a thunderous roar that shattered everything into nothingness.
…
"Pfft! Ahem—!"
Xia Yutian suddenly sat up from the bathtub, holding the edge with both hands and coughing violently. Water droplets continued to drip from his hair and cheeks.
The wet non-slip tile floor reflected the warm and dazzling light on the ceiling. It was still the familiar bathroom.
The unchanged surroundings seemed to clearly indicate that the previous horrific scene was just a nightmare.
But at this moment, Xia Yutian would never think that everything just happened was just a nightmare.
He knew very well that if it hadn't been for the last white light and the strange creature in it, he would have been a floating corpse in the bathtub by now.
If a person is simply asleep, it is impossible for a person to drown and not wake up.
"Evil magic, it must be evil magic!"
Xia Yutian couldn't explain what happened to him, but he knew that in this world, science is not the standard for measuring everything, and there are still many things that science cannot explain.
Because he had seen it with his own eyes.
Xia Yutian subconsciously picked up the phone and suddenly threw it far away like an electric shock. If it wasn't enough, he smashed it directly. Obviously what just happened left a serious psychological shadow on him.
He returned to the bedroom and poured half a glass of red wine, barely regaining his composure. He picked up the landline phone next to the bed and dialed a number.
"Hello, Master Huang? I'm Xiaoxia, Xia Yutian."
"Oh, it's Mr. Xia, what's the matter with calling me so late?" On the other side of the phone was an old man with a loud voice and an extraordinary air.
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late. I just encountered a strange thing. No, this is not the first time. There was a similar incident before..."
This Master Huang is a truly strange person. Even his father Xia Guofeng does not dare to act like a deputy mayor in front of Master Huang. Not to mention that Xia Yutian still asks for help from others now, and his words are even more respectful.
After listening to Xia Yutian's description, Master Huang let out a soft sigh, seemingly surprised, and said after a moment of silence: "Mr. Xia, forgive me for speaking frankly, have you offended someone?"
"He's just a poor student from out of town, but this kid is indeed a bit evil." Xia Yutian also knew that the bad things he did were easy to talk about, so he could only give a vague summary.
"There is no doubt that Mr. Xia, you have offended a very powerful person... As far as I know, the ghost-raising lineage in Siam, the Jiangtou lineage in Southeast Asia, the curse master lineage in Japan, and the black witchcraft in Europe
Anyone from the same lineage can kill people like this without being seen.
However, according to your description of the other party's identity, this person seems to be of the legendary lineage of illusionists, but I am not sure because this lineage has not appeared in the world for a long time."
This Master Huang does have real materials, and he destroyed Li Mengnan's sect inheritance with just one word.
