I am a freeloader in the anime world

Su Yang couldn't help but feel irritated as he listened to their conversation. For no other reason, he was now a little worried about Mai Sakurajima. He didn't know whether she had returned home or not. If she had, at least there would be backup light sources such as candles in the apartment. If she hadn't returned home and there was no electricity, the thirty-story building would obviously be a big challenge for Mai Sakurajima.

"How about I wait here?" Su Yang thought to himself, "Ah, it's really inconvenient without a mobile phone."

After all, if I could use a cell phone, I could just make a phone call to find out whether Mai Sakurajima has returned home.

"Then you're in trouble." After hearing Su Yang's answer, the middle-aged woman curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile, as if she found what was about to happen a little funny, but there was not much sarcasm in her laughter, it was just a simple joke between strangers.

She hung up the phone gently, then turned to Su Yang, smiled and nodded, as if to greet him. Then, she followed her husband upstairs.

"Eh? The power is out! Damn it! I shouldn't have gone out to buy snacks."

Just as Su Yang was hesitating in the elevator whether to continue waiting, a girl's complaint suddenly came from outside the apartment door, followed by a burst of hurried and panicked footsteps, as if something urgent was happening.

"It sounds familiar. It seems to be the voice of one of Mai's neighbors, the Nakano sisters. I think... her name is Miku?"

Su Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. His memory has always been excellent and he can always quickly recall the details of the past. Of course, the premise is that he is willing to remember.

Of course, if you don’t even want to remember, then no matter how strong your memory is, it will be useless, of course, except for hyperthymesia.

As the footsteps gradually approached, Su Yang looked around cautiously, scanning every possible corner to make sure that no one else was hiding in the dark.

After confirming that it was safe, he took a deep breath and quickly gathered the strength in his body.

An invisible energy gathered in his palm, gradually forming a transparent and bright light curtain.

Then, Su Yang took out a flashlight from the faint and bright light curtain and turned it on without hesitation. However, perhaps because it had not been used for a long time, the battery in the flashlight might have been almost depleted, and the light emitted was a little weak, but it was still enough for lighting.

"who is it?!"

When Nakano Miku stepped into the elevator of the apartment, her steps seemed unusually hurried, as if something urgent was urging her.

As the strong beam of the flashlight suddenly shone in, it illuminated her face like daylight.

She subconsciously raised her arms, bending her fingers into a semi-arc shape, trying to block the dazzling light, while also inadvertently hiding the trace of uneasiness on her face.

The uneasiness flickered in her eyes, and it was particularly obvious even under the light.

The elevator was shrouded in darkness due to a power outage, and Nakano Miku's vision was limited by the dim light.

In the dim light and shadow, she vaguely caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing quietly, as if blending into the darkness.

The flashlight beam flickered in the darkness like a lone firefly, its light gradually approaching, shining directly towards her.

The sudden light made her feel a little uneasy, but it also aroused her curiosity.

Although Nakano Miku couldn't tell who the other person was, the only thing she could be sure of from the tall figure was that the figure was a male!

Nakano Miku's heart skipped a beat. She looked around and saw that the entire building was empty.

The dim light cast mottled shadows, adding a sense of tension to her.

It was so quiet all around that the only sound she could hear was her own heartbeat. Every beat seemed to be amplified, causing her young heart to feel inexplicably uneasy.

Nakano Miku thought of the shocking reports that had appeared in the news headlines recently. The news of young women encountering misfortunes late at night or in remote places made her feel deeply uneasy.

The faces of the victims kept flashing in her mind, and their helpless and terrified eyes made her shudder.

As she thought about it, the nervousness in Nakano Miku's heart surged like a tide, drowning her thoughts.

The sound of her heartbeat echoed in the silence around them, clear and strong, beating against her chest like a drum.

Her fingers unconsciously entangled tightly together, and the tingling sensation from her fingertips was like cold needles, piercing her skin mercilessly, reminding her of her nervousness and anxiety at the moment.

Her brows were furrowed, as if she wanted to lock up the anxiety and not let it escape.

There was an indescribable anxiety in his eyes, like a deep lake stirred by a strong wind, creating ripples.

She seemed to be facing a huge challenge, which was of vital importance to her. Every step was full of unknowns and risks, which made her unable to let her guard down.

"It's late at night and there's a power outage without a flashlight. Are you an owl? Come here quickly. You're a girl, at least pay attention to your safety."

Su Yang noticed that Nakano Miku had been silent there for a long time. He couldn't help but frowned and said a few words to her.

That means she is someone she knows. If she were a stranger, Su Yang would not bother to pay attention to her.

However, Su Yang was completely unaware of this. His words were like a huge rock that suddenly hit the calm lake, instantly creating waves and breaking the inner peace of Nakano Miku.

Her face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes flashed with fear and anxiety. Like a frightened little rabbit, she took a few steps back in panic, trying to escape from the sudden attack.

Especially when Nakano Miku saw Su Yang taking a step forward, as if he was slowly walking towards her, her heartbeat instantly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Nakano Miku, who was already in a highly nervous state, was now so frightened that her face turned pale, as if all the blood had been lost.

Her body was stiff and she couldn't move. She could only watch Su Yang approach step by step.

Her mind was in a mess, her thoughts were all over the place, and she couldn't concentrate on anything. She just wanted to run away, run away far away, run away from this scary place, run away from this guy who seemed to be an outlaw.

However, her body seemed to be nailed down, unable to move at all.

She could only watch Su Yang getting closer and closer until his figure filled her entire sight.

She felt a strong sense of oppression, as if something heavy was pressing on her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
