Chapter 454 - Pull the Circuit Breaker
The story starts in Chapter 454 of "Rural Strongest Little Divine Doctor": Chapter 454: Chapter 0454: Pull the Circuit BreakerThe thunder outside was so loud that the... Donāt miss it!
Chapter 454: Chapter 0454: Pull the Circuit BreakerThe thunder outside was so loud that the window glass rattled.
The torrential rain lashed the building, whipped by the wind, crackling and splattering.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder boomed, and the lights in the room went out.
Clearly, the circuit breaker had tripped.
The room was pitch black, so dark you couldnāt see your hand in front of your face.
Only when lightning streaked across the sky did the bright light from the windows illuminate the people in the room.
Girls are generally more timid by nature, though there are exceptions like Hong Jiaxin.
One could hear Tang Guihuaās delicate voice, "Niu Zai, go down and see if the breaker has tripped."
Without lights, in the darkness, those of faint heart always suspect the supernatural.
Any shadow might be construed as connected to something spooky and mysterious.
Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Guihua, sitting and listening to the rain isnāt bad either."
All of a sudden, he pretended to be startled, "Eh! Whatās that? Did you see it? Such long arms!"
One could hear An Yuyingās timid voice, "Niu Zai, what did you see? Donāt scare me. Iām afraid."
The other girls huddled together, only Hong Jiaxin scoffed, "Donāt believe him! Heās just trying to scare us."
With a laugh, Luo Yang said, "As long as Iām here, even if there are ghosts, thereās nothing to fear."
He was just joking.
But for the girls, it wasnāt pleasant to be frightened.
Tang Guihua reproached sweetly, "Niu Zai! If you dare to talk like that again, see how Iāll settle the score with you!"
At that moment, she felt like giving Luo Yang a lesson.
Since she wasnāt nearby and the room was engulfed in darkness, she didnāt dare approach him.
Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Guihua, donāt be afraid."
As he spoke, he suddenly let out a scream, "Wow! What is that at the window?!"
The shadows of trees swaying in the wind were vaguely cast upon the glass, looking like demons flailing wildly.
The girls in the room screamed in alarm.
Thereās an old saying: scaring people can scare them to death.
One could hear Luo Yang laughing heartily, while Tang Guihua angrily said, "Niu Zai! I wonāt let you off easily. Youāll realize your mistake in a while. Iāll see if I let you kneel on a washboard!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yang quickly suppressed his laughter and said, "Sister Guihua, I really saw a shadow and got scared. I wasnāt trying to scare you. Look, thereās still a shadow moving on the window."
It was indeed the shadow of the swaying tree.
However, Luo Yangās prior acts of feigned shock had frightened the girls.
If the lights were on and there was no thunder, no matter how much he played-up his act of mock terror, it would be hard to truly frighten the girls.
Right now, amidst the storm and the thunder and lightning, the piercing thunder roars were indeed frightening.
Let alone the girls, even a brave young man like Luo Yang shuddered upon hearing them.
"Niu Zai, youād better hurry down and turn the power back on, or Iāll never forgive you!" Tang Guihua commanded sweetly.
At this time, Luo Yang was the only one brave enough to go downstairs.
Actually, Hong Jiaxin had the courage as well, but since she was a girl, the others were embarrassed to ask her to go.
It seemed more fitting for a boy to take care of such matters.
Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Guihua, I recommend someone to you. Sheās particularly good at flipping the circuit breaker. Sheās our class monitor."
In the dim light, he turned toward Hong Jiaxin and laughed, "Class monitor, great responsibilities are about to be bestowed upon you, to go switch the power back on. Arenāt you going?"
One could hear Hong Jiaxin angrily say, "Talk nonsense again, and Iāll beat you to death!"
Laughter from the girls filled the room.
Then they heard Tang Guihua laugh sweetly, "Jiaxin, I support you. Go hit him."
In the darkness, Hong Jiaxin found it inconvenient to make a move.
If it had been any normal time, she would have already used her Embroidered Fist and Flowery Kicks on him.
At this point, An Yuying said in a frail voice, "Niu Zai, why donāt you go and flip the circuit breaker back on? Itās so dark in here; you can hardly see anyone."
Luo Yang laughed, "Donāt rush me. Iāll go in a bit."
Resetting the breaker, another thunderclap might trip it again, so perhaps itās better to leave it fo
