The Sabbath

Chapter 135 Lamp and Candle

Is Poma the online store owner who sold so many messy but useful things to Mrs. Zora? !

This, this, this... I didn't expect it at all!

"Poma couldn't have been sued by the seller because of random delivery, right?" Looking at the small box in his arms, Ronggui looked confused.

"Impossible. Xingcheng belongs to the third-level security prison. Ordinary people convicted of business disputes will not be imprisoned in this level of prison." Ronggui just muttered a question, but Xiaomei still answered it seriously.

Ronggui nodded as if looking decent.

"However, I really can't imagine that a person like Poma would be imprisoned for some serious crime..." Ronggui murmured.

This time, Xiaomei didn't speak.

Going back to the 999th floor again, after saying hello to Da Huang and Xiao Huang, he hurried to get the watering can to water the flowers. While he was doing all this, Xiao Mei was responsible for packing the two people's baskets.

The two small robots have always had a clear division of labor.

After watering each flowerpot, he went again to take care of the whispering grass, and Ronggui found that although the whispering grass didn't grow much taller, it had branched.

As an exceptionally easy-to-grow plant, it's not surprising that the Whispering Grass behaved like this, but Ronggui was very surprised that a dying Whispering Weed could recover so quickly.

In the future, maybe I can give Jiji and Poma a branch of whispering grass—Ronggui thought to himself.

Thinking of Poma, he thought of the small box that Poma gave him before he left.

After watering the last bean seedling, Ronggui wiped his hands and ran to unpack the box.

Xiaomei was no longer in the living room, so Ronggui ran into the house with the box in his arms, and sure enough, he found Xiaomei in their bedroom.

Seeing Xiaomei playing with the computer again, Ronggui didn't bother him, but just sat on the ground beside him and opened the box.

The first thing inside was a bouquet of fake flowers. At first glance, they thought they were real, but Ronggui soon found out that they were fake.

Although it is a fake flower, it is also very beautiful, Ronggui decided to find a place to put the flower up later.

Underneath the artificial flowers was a small bottle of wine, beautifully wrapped with a ribbon.

Flowers, wine... it's clearly a standard gift package for a housewarming celebration!

It's not in vain to learn the common sense outside, Poma already has a lot of common sense in this area - Ronggui thought, putting the wine bottle aside, he found that there was another thing in the box.

It looked like a lamp—Ronggui picked up the bottom thing, it looked like a desk lamp.

It is still the most common and popular kind of desk lamp!

I really can't think of why the desk lamp appeared here, and Monk Rongguizhang Er couldn't figure it out.

"Xiaomei, is it customary to give table lamps when celebrating housewarming here?" He asked Xiaomei out of habit.

"No. People are used to giving different gifts in different regions, but these gifts can be roughly divided into two categories: pure celebration items, and local necessities for life." Although she didn't look back, Xiaomei immediately replied: "The former Flowers, for example, and wine, the latter vary greatly according to where one lives."

"Oh." Ronggui nodded, his eyes slid over the wine bottle and fake flowers on the ground, and finally landed on the desk lamp in his hand: "So this is a one-time gift of Poma according to the two habits. "

"Fake flowers and wine are celebratory gifts, so..."

"A desk lamp is a must-have item for living here?"

Looking at the brightly lit room, Ronggui really doesn't understand how a desk lamp has become a necessity in life.

But since it was a gift, Ronggui felt that using it was the greatest respect for the giver, so he decided to use the lamp.

Thinking of this in his heart, he got up with a grunt, picked up the desk lamp, picked up the long plug and drag line under the desk lamp, and put the plug into the power socket under the table.

Putting the lamp on the small table, Ronggui pressed the only switch on the lamp.

Then--

The room suddenly became dark.

Ronggui was taken aback, the whole robot jumped up, and without saying a word, he resolutely ran towards Xiaomei!

While running, he shouted in panic: "Xiaomei Xiaomei! What's wrong? Is there a power outage?"

"Hey?"

Halfway through the run, he stopped.

Still in shock, Ronggui kept his arms still in the air, and stared at Xiaomei.

It was still the same brightly lit room as before, and Xiaomei was still sitting on the bed as before, with the computer in front of her.

But Xiaomei's head is now turned upside down.

The room was brightly lit, and it didn't look like there was a power outage at all. Ronggui suddenly felt...

Did you suddenly lose power just now?

That's why I feel like there's a sudden power outage...

"Xiaomei, I couldn't see suddenly just now. It was dark in front of my eyes. Please help me to have a look. Could it be that the head of my current body is also broken? I heard that many visual impairments come from the head. What's wrong..." Quickly retracting his arm in mid-air, Ronggui said to Xiaomei worriedly.

Then, he saw Xiaomei stretch out her finger and pointed behind him.

Looking in the direction of Xiaomei's finger, Ronggui was shocked when he saw the scene behind him——

The place he just left behind, where the small desk was originally placed, is now a black hole! ! !

Realizing that he was standing in front of this "black hole", Ronggui immediately jumped to Xiaomei's side.

"Oh my god! Black hole!" Ronggui said in horror, seeing Xiaomei standing up beside him and walking towards the direction of "black hole", Ronggui immediately stopped him.

Xiaomei didn't speak, just held Ronggui's hand with her backhand, and then tugged lightly. Feeling Ronggui's retreat and not giving up, she used a little more force. Just like that, he pulled Ronggui closer to the "black hole." ", and then walked into the "black hole"!

Ronggui's eyes were once again dark.

It was also in the same darkness, and he was scared to death before, but this time with Xiaomei around, Ronggui felt that Xiaomei's palm was holding his hand firmly, and Ronggui found that he was not nervous at all.

Well, it's not that I'm not nervous at all, but a little bit, just a little bit.

Then, Xiaomei finally spoke.

"It's not a power outage, it's because you turned on that lamp." Xiaomei said, under his guidance, Ronggui felt that he took two steps forward, and then he heard a "click", and the eyes in front of him Immediately, the darkness disappeared completely, and their eyes were bright again.

Ronggui saw Xiaomei's finger land on the lamp switch.

If he had eyelids at this time, he really wanted to blink to show his bewilderment!

Unfortunately not, Ronggui could only continue to keep his eyes open, watching Xiaomei click again, the lamp switch was pressed again, and the two of them fell into darkness again.

"Interesting design." Ronggui heard Xiaomei praise in a flat voice.

Ronggui: =-=

Where is the fun!It's clearly scary!

However, although he was complaining crazily in his heart, after figuring out what was going on, Ronggui leaned over to Xiaomei's side, pressed his finger on the lamp switch again, "click" and "click" several times, he had a great time Almost.

And the corner they were in was also suddenly daytime and suddenly night, alternating several times.

When he finally had enough of playing, Xiaomei turned off the desk lamp, as if studying for a while, at the end, he actually found a box of candles and a lighter at the base of the desk lamp.

When the table lamp was turned on and the corner was in darkness, Xiaomei lit a candle with a lighter, and the corner immediately became bright again.

"Ah!" Ronggui called out in a low voice.

"The light bulb of this desk lamp uses a special dark element conductive filament. When the switch is pressed, it will release dark element rays. This element exists in many primitive planets. I have never heard of anyone using it like this before." —

That person's last concert, the dark special effects, should have a technology that uses the same principle—Xiaomei thought.

Feeling distracted for a while, Xiaomei quickly turned her attention back to the desk lamp in front of her, picked up the candle next to it, and continued to talk to Ronggui: "This element is hard to dispel. Ordinary lights are not enough to penetrate it, but This kind of candle has a special material, and the rays emitted when burning are enough to penetrate some dark elements."

"So... is this candle the only one that can shine in the darkness created by this desk lamp?" Tilting his head, Ronggui curiously took the small candle that was burning in Xiaomei's hand, and after observing it carefully for a long time, he tilted the candle and dropped a drop Candle tears dripped on the table, and at this time, I pressed the candle into the candle tears, and after a while, the candle stood firmly on the table.

When they were young, when the orphanage had a power outage, they always had to light candles. There was no candlestick, so the old director taught them to place candles in this way.

"Why... are you sending lamps and candles? Did you send the wrong things again?" Standing quietly by the table, Ronggui's eyes were just at the same level as the candles due to his short stature, and Xiaomei was standing next to him , and look at the candles with him.

Unlike Ronggui, Xiaomei didn't think about this kind of problem at all.

Instinct would tell him the question was irrelevant to what they were about to do next, so his subconscious would stop there and not think about similar related questions.

However, since Ronggui asked this question, his thoughts were driven to think about it.

The thinking speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, and he can think about many questions in parallel at the same time. Almost immediately after Ronggui's question was asked, Xiaomei had already thought of a series of possible reasons in his mind at the same time, and, quickly, after eliminating the screening, he The most likely answer remained in my mind.

"Because it is a necessity." In the darkness with only the faint light of candles, Xiaomei suddenly said, "You have been to Jiji's room, where the lights are always on day and night, and there is no time to turn off the lights, so this kind of desk lamp is It exists to turn off the lights."

Hearing this, Ronggui was stunned.

He seemed to have immediately returned to Jiji's room where he had stayed the night before, back to that miserable white room that was brightly lit day and night.

The cells with lights on at any time, the lights are white and the wattage is extremely strong, it’s okay for them to stay only for one night, and the prisoners inside will stay in this environment for a long, long time.

If you stay in a room like this every day, you will be mentally irritable, right?

Anyway, if it were him, he probably wouldn't even be able to sleep well.

Gigi also sleeps with her head covered.

"Ah...it really is a necessity." When he looked at the darkness again, Ronggui was finally not afraid at all.

Looking at the orange candle light, he even found something that could almost be called a "sense of security" in this darkness.

"It's really a good design!" This time, Ronggui very much agreed with Xiaomei's previous point of view.
