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

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

"Isn't Poema sued by the seller because of random delivery?" Looking at the small box in his arms, Ronggui looked tangled.

"Impossible, Xingcheng belongs to the three-level security prison, and ordinary people convicted of business disputes will not be detained in this level of prison." Ronggui just said a question casually, but Xiaomei still answered it seriously.

Ronggui just nodded his head.

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

This time, Xiaomei didn't speak.

Back on the 999th floor of the basement again, after saying hello to Da Huang and Xiao Huang, he hurried to get a watering can to water the flowers. While he was doing all this, Xiao Mei was in charge of cleaning up the two people's back baskets.

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

After watering each flowerpot, he went back to take care of the Whispering Grass. Ronggui found that although the Whispering Grass hadn't grown much taller, it had branched.

As an exceptionally easy-to-feed plant, it's not surprising that Whispering grass has such a performance, but Ronggui is still very surprised that a dying Whispering grass can cheer up so quickly.

Maybe I can give Gigi and Poma a branch of Whispering Grass in the future—Ronggui thought.

When he thought of Perma, he thought of the small box that Perma gave him before he left.

After watering the last ground bean sprout, Ronggui wiped his hands and ran to unpack it.

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

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

The first thing in it was a bunch of fake flowers, which at first glance thought they were real, but Ronggui quickly found out that they were fake.

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

Below the fake flower is a small bottle of wine, beautifully packaged and tied with a ribbon.

Flowers, wine... Obviously this is the standard gift set to celebrate a housewarming!

There is no need to learn common sense from the outside, Poema already has a lot of common sense in this regard - Rong Gui thought, putting the wine bottle aside, he found that there was another thing in the box.

It looks like a lamp - Ronggui picked up the bottom thing, it looks like a desk lamp.

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

I really can't think of why the lamp would appear here, and the monk Ronggui Zhang Er was puzzled.

"Xiaomei, is there a custom of giving away desk lamps here to celebrate housewarming?" He asked Xiaomei from a habit.

"No. People are used to giving different gifts in different regions, but these gifts can be roughly divided into two categories: pure celebratory items and necessities for local life." Although she did not look back, Xiaomei immediately replied: "The former Flowers and wine, for example, the latter varies greatly depending on where you live.”

"Oh." Ronggui nodded, his eyes slid over the wine bottle and fake flower on the ground, and finally fell on the lamp in his hand: "So Pomma is giving away all at once according to two habits. "

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

"A desk lamp is a must for life here?"

Looking at the brightly lit room, Ronggui really doesn't understand how the lamp has become a must-have 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 this lamp.

With this thought in mind, he got up, picked up the lamp, picked up the long plug cable under the lamp, and checked the plug to 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, and the whole robot jumped up without saying a word, he decisively ran in the direction of Xiaomei!

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

"Hey?"

Halfway through the run, he stopped.

Frightened, he kept his arms still in the air, and Ronggui stared at Xiaomei.

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

But Xiaomei's head is now turned around.

The room was bright and bright, and it was completely impossible to see that the power had been cut off. Ronggui suddenly felt...

Did you just suddenly lose power

It feels like a sudden power outage or something...

"Xiaomei, I just suddenly couldn't see anymore. It's dark in front of me. Please help me to see. Could it be that the head of my body is also broken? I heard that many visual impairments come from the brain. What's wrong..." He quickly retracted his arm in midair, and Ronggui said to Xiaomei worriedly.

Then, he saw Xiaomei stretch out her finger and point 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.

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

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

Ronggui's eyes were once again darkened.

It was the same darkness, which had scared him half to death before, but this time, with Xiaomei around, Ronggui felt that Xiaomei was holding his hand tightly, and Ronggui found that he was not nervous at all.

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

Then, Xiaomei finally spoke up.

"It's not the power outage, it's because you lit the light." Xiaomei said, under his lead, Ronggui felt that he took two steps forward, and then he heard a "click" sound, and the sight in front of him Immediately, the darkness completely disappeared, and light was once again in front of their eyes.

Ronggui saw that Xiaomei's finger landed on the switch of the lamp.

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

Unfortunately, no, Ronggui could only continue to keep his eyes open, watching Xiaomei "click" again, the lamp switch was pressed again, and the two fell into darkness again.

"Interesting design." Ronggui heard Xiaomei compliment in her flat voice.

Honor: =-=

Where's the fun! Obviously scary!

However, although he was complaining wildly in his heart, after figuring out what was going on, Ronggui came to Xiaomei and pressed his finger on the lamp switch again, "clicking" and "clicking" several times, and he had a great time playing. almost.

And the corner they were in suddenly alternated several times during the day and suddenly at night.

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

When the desk lamp was turned on and the corner was dark, Xiaomei used a lighter to ignite a candle, and the corner immediately became bright again.

"Ah!" Ronggui whispered.

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

That person's last concert, the special effects of the darkness, should have technology that uses the same principle - Xiaomei thought.

After a little distraction, Xiaomei quickly turned her attention back to the lamp in front of her, picked up the candle next to her, and continued to say to Rong Gui: "This element is difficult to disperse, and ordinary light is not enough to penetrate it, but it is The candle is made of a special material, and when it burns, it emits enough rays to penetrate some of the dark elements."

"So... can only this candle shine in the darkness created by this lamp?" Tilt his head, Ronggui curiously took the small candle that was lit in Xiaomei's hand, carefully observed it for a long time, he tilted the candle and blew a tear from the candle. Dropped on the table, and then pressed the candle into the tears again, and it didn't take long for the candle to stand firmly on the table.

When they were young, they always lit candles when there was a power outage in the orphanage. There was no candlestick, so the old dean taught them to set candles in this way.

"Why... do you want to send table lamps and candles? Did you send the wrong thing again?" Standing quietly at the table, because of his short height, Ronggui's line of sight was just level with the candles, and Xiaomei was standing beside him. Watch the candles with him.

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

Instinct would tell him that the question was irrelevant to what they were going to do next, so his subconscious would stop there, not thinking about such 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 at the same time. Almost right after Ronggui’s question was asked, Xiaomei had already thought of a series of possible reasons at the same time, and, very quickly, he was excluded and screened. The most likely answer remains in my mind.

"Because it's a necessity." In the darkness with only the faint light of candles, Xiaomei suddenly said, "You've been to Jiji's room, where the lights are always on during the day and night, and when the lights are not turned off, so this table lamp is It exists to turn off the lights."

Hearing this, Ronggui was stunned.

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

A cell that is lit at all times, the lights are white, and the wattage is extremely strong. They only stay for one night, and the prisoners in it have to stay in this environment for a long time.

Staying in a room like this every day will make you grumpy, right

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

Gigi also slept 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 "safety" in this darkness.

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