Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155 Scared Half to Death

She crouched in front of An Hao’s door, scratching at it with her fingernails, producing a rustling sound that sounded quite unsettling.

However, the relentless thunder and lightning outside continued to flash and roar.

An Hao had not heard anything at all.

Ruan Fangfang had been making a racket in the hallway for a long time, but since no one had come out of the room, she simply knocked on the door directly.

Bang bang bang~

The sound was loud enough.

An Hao heard it, descended from her bed, and went to the door, preparing to open it.

Through the door, she shouted, "Qin Jian?"

Outside, it was dead silent; no one responded, so An Hao shouted again, "Who is outside the door?"

Still no movement.

Aside from the clashing sounds of the thunderstorm, no other noise could be heard.

Who could it be at this time?

Since they had come, why hadn’t they answered despite her repeated inquiries?

Could it be a bad person?

Although this was a military compound, and security was supposed to be impeccable, one couldn’t rule out every possibility.

An Hao felt it best to take some precautions.

Thus, she went to the kitchen, grabbed a fruit knife, and held it in her hand; after all, she was a surgeon who had dissected countless corpses.

If it came to handling knives, she was not the least bit afraid now.

Where to stab to kill with one blow? Where to stab to completely incapacitate the opponent? Such matters were a piece of cake for An Hao.

The human anatomical structure was etched in her mind as if engraved.

She held the fruit knife in one hand while clutching a rolling pin, used earlier for rolling dough, in the other, and then she walked to the door.

The knocking continued.

An Hao was ready to open the door; her hand had just touched the doorknob when she decided not to.

What if the person was a thug like Luo Gang?

Falling into his hands would be a dead end, wouldn’t it?

Just as An Hao was about to turn back, a warrior’s voice came from outside, "Sister-in-law, are you in there?"

"Who are you? Why didn’t you speak when I asked just now?"

"Maybe your voice was too soft, I didn’t hear it," the warrior said, "Sister-in-law, could you open the door? The staff officer just got home, and he said the transformer was struck by lightning, causing a power outage in half the city. He’s worried about you being alone at home and frightened. He specifically sent me to bring you some candles and flashlights."

Relieved by the warrior’s voice, An Hao took a breath, "Okay, I understand. Just leave it at the door! After you leave, I’ll go out and get it."

"Yes!" The warrior left, and the items were left at the door.

An Hao heard the sound fading away down the hallway, hurried to the window, and peered outside for a long time, indeed seeing a warrior in a raincoat, departing with a flashlight.

An Hao’s heart finally eased.

So, she went to the door, opened it, and looked down to see indeed a few candles, matches, and a flashlight on the ground.

It was just her overthinking!

An Hao bent down to pick up the items, and just as she was about to look up, she saw a pair of feet appear before her; she suddenly looked up, and the darkness instantly lit up.

She was shocked to see something like a female ghost appear before her, with a face smeared with blood and hair in disarray, nearly scaring her to death, "Ah!"

Her sharp instinctual reaction left no time for thought as she grabbed the flashlight and smashed it toward the figure’s forehead.

The female ghost was hit, cried out in pain, and bit down hard on her lip.

An Hao was sure someone was playing a trick to scare her and, feeling a surge of anger, she grabbed the figure’s hair with even more force.
