The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me

Chapter 73

Ji Mingxia looked at the intercom monitoring screen, and then at the black shadow. For a moment, he didn’t know which one to believe.

But he definitely wasn’t going to open the gate.

Ji Mingxia stood by the gate, but did not open it, and his hesitation seemed to have angered the shadow outside the gate.

The black shadow not only frantically rang the doorbell, but also directly smashed into the iron gate.

The sound of the doorbell and the sound of the iron gate being smashed intertwined, and the ear-splitting noise passed through the eardrums.

However, the miraculous thing was that the big noise did not attract any of the neighbors’ attention.

All the houses silently stood in the darkness as if they were abandoned and empty. Only Ji Mingxia’s house had bright lights inside.

Ji Mingxia was frightened by the eerie atmosphere, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

He unconsciously stepped to the side to let more light fall on him when suddenly, the light source behind him suddenly disappeared.

Ji Mingxia abruptly turned around and saw that the lights in his home were all off.

The moment the lights went out, the ringing at the doorbell also stopped.

The light from the street lights came in from outside like a hazy moonlight. The world was dead silent, so silent that Ji Mingxia could even hear his own breathing.

It was as if there was no living person in the entire village except for Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia’s face was a little pale, and he couldn’t help but gently grip the ring in his hand.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from within the house and a stooped old woman slowly came out of the darkness.

Grandma Ji walked up to Ji Mingxia. With a streetlight illuminated face, Grandma Ji said to the dazed Ji Mingxia, “Come back in.”

With that, Grandma Ji turned around and walked towards the house.

Ji Mingxia stared at Grandma Ji’s back blankly.

He did not have the habit of carrying his phone everywhere, and the house was dark at the moment. The streetlights did not shine in, so Grandma Ji held a flashlight to illuminate the ground.

Seeing that Ji Mingxia did not follow, Grandma Ji turned back and said, “I turned off the main power so the doorbell will not ring again, come in first.”

With that, Grandma Ji took the flashlight and shone it towards the house.

Ji Mingxia's gaze stopped on Grandma Ji’s flashlight, and he finally lifted his feet and followed her inside.

The light from the flashlight was dim, but Grandma Ji and Ji Mingxia were very familiar with the house so although they couldn’t see very clearly, it didn’t affect their movements at all.

Ji Mingxia was about to enter the house but couldn’t help but turn back and glance at the courtyard gate.

After the power outage, the bell went off and the knocks on the gate stopped, as if they had been absorbed in the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

It was quiet by the courtyard gate and Ji Mingxia deliberately looked at the hollow position at the bottom of the gate.

The shadow had disappeared.

“Close the door.” Grandma Ji said.

There was an iron gate at the entrance of the courtyard and a wooden door to the house.
