The Doomsday Chef

Chapter 5 Candles
After leaving the community, she didn't turn on the flashlight right away. She could barely see anyone along the way. Only a few flashlights flashed by. Su Mo decided to go in the dark and turn on the light. The goal is too big. She is not sure that calling the police is useless If you encounter a robbery, can you go back safely?

She hid herself well in the dark, and searched all the shops she knew along the way. Almost all the shops were closed, let alone supermarkets. Su Mo searched around before finding one that sold The candle shop is open.

The owner of the store is a burly man with a height of nearly 2 meters, with a beard that grows to the sideburns and a vicious face.She didn't go into the shop immediately, but Ying stood in the corner for a while.

A young couple in the store were buying candles. When they heard the price, the voice of the woman became sharp. She pointed at the big man and cursed, "100 a pack? Just ten! Why don't you grab it!"

The big man raised his brows, slapped his muscular arms on the table heavily, his eyes shone fiercely, and said bluntly: "If you can afford it, buy it, if you can't afford it, get out, don't delay my business."

The table rattled when it was slapped, and the husband and wife shook their bodies and were afraid and unwilling to be taken advantage of. They stood in the store for a while and chose to return empty-handed.

Seeing the two go away and disappear into the darkness, Su Mo took out three red notes, put one hand in his trouser pocket and clenched the dagger around his waist.Lowering her hat, she lowered her head and walked into this slaughter shop, her voice was lowered as much as possible to appear hoarse and mature: "Three packs of candles".

The big man lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at her, and said roughly, "Three hundred."

Su Mo didn't talk nonsense with him and directly threw the money on the counter. Seeing that she was so straightforward, the big man didn't ink any ink marks, and immediately threw three packs of candles to her. After taking the candles, she turned around and left the shop.

Walking back to the dark street, she pulled off her clothes and wrapped the candles in. Before she could walk a few steps, Su Mo felt the sound of footsteps behind her, someone was following her!Realizing this problem, she broke out in a cold sweat, holding the candle and running wildly.

The footsteps behind also picked up speed immediately, getting closer and closer to her, and seeing that he was about to catch up with her, Su Mo pulled out the dagger from his waist, and got into the alley beside her.

Voices from the alley
"This woman can really run, I'm exhausted." The panting woman stuck in the alley spat on the ground, pointed at the man's nose and cursed: "I can't see without light. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll never end with you!”

"I know, I know, you stay at the door and don't let her run away."

It turned out that the couple who bought the candles just now didn't go far. When they came back, they saw Su Mo. Seeing her alone, they started thinking.

"Girl, come out, I just want a candle, I promise I won't hurt you" the man's voice echoed in the alley, he picked up a stick and walked in slowly.

Su Mo, who hid in the darkness behind the trash can, was motionless, tightly gripping the dagger, a thin layer of sweat broke out from her palms, as the man got closer and closer, her heart beat like thunder, knowing that if she was caught, she would end up dead. It's not much better, now she regrets why she didn't have the cheek to go to Lu Chen.

There is absolutely no good fruit in this situation. After thinking for a while, Su Mo stood up voluntarily. She suppressed her voice and pretended to be afraid and said, "Don't hurt me, I can give you the candle."

The man was delighted to hear that she was so sensible, but he didn't relax his vigilance: "Put all the candles on the ground and walk out slowly."

Su Mo obediently took the candle out of his clothes, walked to the middle of the alley and put it down, and stepped back a few steps.Seeing her so relaxed, the man walked over.

Just when he bent down to pick up the candle on the ground, Su Mo rushed over and stabbed the man's back with a dagger.

Heart-piercing screams sounded in the alley, and the man fell to the ground in pain, his back was bleeding. He never thought that a woman with no strength would go out with a knife, and the woman guarding outside suddenly panicked. She yelled inwardly, "What happened!"

Pulling out the dagger, a stream of hot blood sprayed on Su Mo's face. This was the first time she had slashed someone with a knife, but regardless of fear, she grabbed the candle on the ground and rushed out of the alley.

Seeing Su Mo running out with a dagger dripping with blood, the woman avoided subconsciously in fear, watching her run away and disappear into the darkness.

Running back to the community in one breath, Su Mo went straight to the door. The scene in front of her really shocked her. The table she used to block the door was pulled away, and someone went in!
She put the candle at the door, took a deep breath and walked in sideways. Unexpectedly, the person sitting on the sofa in her house was none other than Lu Chen. A man with a lot of hands.

Lu Chen saw that she was in a mess, and the blood on the dagger was still dry, so he stood up and walked to her side, frowning and asked, "What's going on?"

When Su Mo saw him, his eyes were red, tears came down, and the emotions accumulated in his heart for the past few days poured out: "I didn't have any candles at home, so I wanted to go out and buy them, and then someone robbed me and stabbed me."

Lu Chen silently listened to her sobbing and babbling, and looked at her with admiration. He really didn't expect such a small person to stab a grown man.

There was someone who could quietly let Su Mo confide her emotions, and she finally felt much better. Then she turned her attention to the person who was tied up on the ground, and she looked familiar: "What's the situation with this person?"

"Stealing things happened to be caught by me," Lu Chen explained concisely.

Su Mo went to that person's side and knelt down to look carefully before realizing that this person lived on the third floor. If I remembered correctly, his name was Xin Lei. She had chatted a few words before.She pulled out the stinky sock from the man's mouth. Isn't this her sock? As soon as he could speak, the man begged:

"I don't dare anymore, I just want to get some food and candles, I've been hungry for three days"

Su Mo kicked him in the face and said angrily, "That's why you stole something? You won't borrow it?" He kicked him a few more times in confusion, and the other party cried out in pain.

"Want to help you solve it?" Lu Chen's voice was as cold as ice, Su Mo turned around and saw that he took out a military stick from nowhere, and turned it into a three-section long.

Xin Lei, who was tied up, broke out in cold sweat, begging for mercy repeatedly, he was just dizzy from hunger!This man is terrible.Su Mo was also scared. She hurried over and held down the man's stick, and said with an apologetic smile: "It's not good to kill people, you have to pay legal responsibility, and they are forced by life, right?"

Lu Chen squinted at her, and said sarcastically, "It's just that he doesn't dare to come again, what are you thinking?" He stayed in the barracks for a long time, and he felt that things that could be solved by force should not be wasted.

"Oh." The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched. In fact, this man's behavior is really easy to make people think wrong. She let go of the stick, picked up the sock she had just pulled out of the man's mouth, and stuffed it back, complaining: "Then don't fight here, go to the corridor, I just cleaned the carpet."

Lu Chen: "."

Xin Lei: "."
