Invade the World

  Chapter 121 Days That Cannot Last

   "Boom, boom, boom..."

  The basketball fell to the ground, bounced, and fell again, with smaller and smaller amplitudes, leaving only the sound of colliding with the plastic ground, echoing on the court.

  This basketball rolled into the grass, but no one went to pick it up.

  For a few seconds, the audience was silent.

The bystanders around, as well as everyone who was playing on the field, whether it was from the first middle school or the 15th middle school, whether it was a boy or a girl, whether it was purely coming to see a lively person or an insider, they all watched blankly. Two figures under the basket.

  One of them was a slender, heroic girl with a long ponytail standing, and the other was Jiang Lei, who was still invincible on the court just now, but lying on the ground in embarrassment and unable to get up.

  Lin Xingjie turned a blind eye to the countless lights from around, walked slowly to the edge of the grass, picked up the basketball, threw it back on the court, and then walked back slowly.

   Jiang Lei, lying on the ground, could only see a pair of white sneakers appearing in his field of vision.

"I am leaving."

  The girl said to the others on the court.

   "I have another long run to participate in later."

   "Ah, oh..."

  The captain of the basketball team in the Fifteenth Middle School was still a little bit unresponsive, and nodded in a daze.

  ——"Who will play next?"

  ——"It's meaningless, everyone will lose."

  This conversation with his teammates that took place less than ten minutes ago seems to be reverberating in this boy's ears.

  At that time, facing the one-sided situation on the field, Jiang Lei alone brought pressure, and no one dared to defend. They almost felt desperate, so the 15th National Team had to call a timeout.

Originally, this was an occasion for the players to supplement their physical strength and discuss tactics, such as substitutions, but they needed a timeout purely because everyone was already tired, but no one could replace it—and even if there were, Nor can it change any situation.

  As for the so-called negotiation tactics, of course there is no such thing, let alone any meaning.

  And such a helpless desperate situation, until the long ponytail girl appeared in front of them, but it was reversed in an instant.

  She, who claimed to be Zhu Qingyue's friend, only took a few minutes to settle the situation.

  What the ponytail girl did is an incredible thing-this is not only because she defeated a master who couldn't stop a bunch of boys on the court, but also her proposal itself.

  Everyone should have found it inexplicable, but no one spoke to stop it. As a result, it happened under everyone's eyes.

  ……

   Lin Xingjie glanced at Jiang Lei at her feet.

  In the confrontation just now, the evil spirits released by the other party collapsed in front of her ability, without the slightest resistance.

  The chaotic turbid current swallowed the dark ghost behind the boy in one go, just like a person swept away by the water in reality...

  It's quite real in a sense.

She is still merciful, and this is also to avoid large-scale destruction in front of ordinary people-if it is not to summon turbidity, but to let Xiaoan out directly, the entire basketball hoop will be knocked into flight, and Jiang Lei who bears the brunt will only be crushed to pieces. One is over.

   However, even though Lin Xingjie kept her hand, the opponent still seemed to be frustrated. It is not only as simple as falling below and falling to the ground in a conflict, but more importantly, it is the mental trauma.

  Human consciousness can manipulate monsters in another world. Conversely, there is a connection between evil spirits and psychics. The evil spirit controlled by itself suddenly encountered such a violent impact, it is impossible for Jiang Lei, who is a psychic medium, not to be affected...

  Furthermore, two consecutive times.

  After all, he was only dealt with by Xu Xiangyang with psychic abilities yesterday.

  The girl saw Jiang Lei sweating profusely, her face pale and painful, it seemed that she couldn't continue playing ball later.

   Lin Xingjie stood in front of the opponent condescendingly, lowered her head, lowered the volume a little, and spoke to him in a voice that could not be heard by anyone else on the court.

   "Either show off your real ability to play like others, or just be a spectator like me."

  After leaving this sentence, she ignored the other party's reaction, and turned around and left.

  Perhaps because everything came too suddenly and ended without warning, everyone could only watch the girl's back and leave without saying a word.

  *

  Getting down from the auditorium, Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue, who stood not far away and watched, collected everything that happened on the court.

   Jiang Lei not long ago, his performance on the court can only be described as "not alone in the fight".

  He previously controlled the black strange feet used to occupy the runway, and finally revealed his body: it was a tall and thin figure, about two or three heads taller than an ordinary person, covered in black feathers like burning flames.

The lacquer black shadow posted Jiang Lei very close, as if attached to him; and in this state, Jiang Lei's running speed will become very fast, even his performance on the court just now is obvious It was deliberately suppressing, otherwise it would have been treated as a superman.

  Also, because the evil spirit has the ability to interfere in the physical world, anyone who intends to defend him close to him will be knocked away by an invisible force field;

  Because ordinary people can't see the dark evil spirit clinging to Jiang Lei's body, they will only think that it is because of his particularly strong physical fitness.

  As for the subsequent confrontation between Lin Xingjie and him, there is nothing to talk about.

When the girl dribbled the ball close to the basket, Jiang Lei wanted to step forward, but couldn't even get close to him-the dark evil spirit around him was swallowed up by the chaotic turbid current, like a black torch. The burning evil spirit, in the face of the surging wave from another world, can't even struggle.

  The flame went out, and only a few wreckage remained in the air;

  At the same time, the turbid current remained unabated, like hitting the waves splashing on the reef, and overturning Jiang Lei to the ground.

  In the face of such amazing superpower confrontation, basketball technique itself is not important at all.

   "It seems that there is no intention to use Xiaoan."

  The monitor girl beside him whispered.

   "Well, Xingjie still knows her. It's just..."

  Xu Xiangyang sighed.

  "Is that guy's expression stunned? I really don't know what his situation is, how much he knows about psychics, and how he would think about Xingjie's ability."

  Seeing that after Lin Xingjie left the field, someone helped Jiang Lei stand up and rest next to him. This shows that this guy has not suffered too much physical damage; but what might happen next is not what he can predict.

  ……

After   , a group of students gathered around the basketball court. They did not know what they had discussed. This basketball game, which was temporarily interrupted by Lin Xingjie’s intrusion, actually started again.

  It’s just that, this time, Jiang Lei, who is flaunting his power, is absent, and the situation on the court is no longer one-sided. Instead, the smell of gunpowder on the scene is no longer as strong as before.

  As the teachers expected, this basketball game really seemed to be a friendly match between the two schools. Gradually, the onlookers began to have cheers from both sides at the same time.

  Without superpowers, this is an ordinary basketball game for men’s high school students.

   Young people who also love basketball are running and shouting on the red and green court under the sun, the ball is flying back and forth in the air.

   "Really solved it all at once."

  Zhu Qingyue laughed.

   "Xingjie, she really did what she said."

"……Yes."

  Xu Xiangyang thought.

  Although he guessed that Lin Xingjie couldn't help but want to teach others, he was still curious about the way she would use... But he did not expect that it would be a superpower basketball match directly with the other party.

  Even if he could have devastating violence like Lin Xingjie, he might still look forward and backward. He would worry about what he would do to avoid being noticed by others, and he would also think about how he should speak: he volunteered and said "let me try it?" But he actually didn't appear on the basketball court in physical education class. People, will others really believe him?

   Lin Xingjie is a girl, it would have been more difficult to speak.

  Unexpectedly, she simply ignored the opinions of others, and directly inserted into the game forcibly, confronted the target directly, and then knocked the opponent upright to the ground, so that she could not get up again...

  It can only be said that this direct approach is indeed in line with her personality; and the powerful force from another world is the basis for the girl to act in this way.

  The psychic medium that manipulates the evil spirit's individual can be arrogant and domineering in front of ordinary people, so it is naturally not enough to see in front of Lin Xingjie.

  Although he still doesn't know which rank Jiang Lei belongs to in the so-called "spiritual medium", this is the only thing that can be determined without thinking.

   "I don't think anyone will bother you for a long time." At this point, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but laugh, "Have you heard her friend's declaration just now?"

  Of course, Lin Xingjie will not make everyone aware of the cause of this incident, but in front of a few members who know about it, she openly confessed that she is Zhu Qingyue’s friend.

  The squad leader was originally a kaolin flower that no boy in the second and fifth grades of high school could ever pick off. Now there are such awkward close-ups guarding it, and most high school students might be discouraged.

   "If Xingjie were not there, I would have other successors." Zhu Qingyue replied, "But you are right, her approach is the most straightforward and unpretentious."

  "Following?"

Seeing Xu Xiangyang's puzzled expression, Zhu Qingyue smiled and pointed to the direction of the stadium.

   "They are playing basketball. Do you remember what happened in the warehouse yesterday?"

  Xu Xiangyang recalled it for a moment, and suddenly realized it.

   "Could it be that there is still hidden in that basketball—"

"Ok."

  Zhu Qingyue nodded slightly, confirming his guess.

"It is the kind of evil spirit we caught in the shopping mall. Its weakness is that it is difficult to act in an open manner and requires certain objects as a basis; but conversely, this characteristic also gives them the ability to conceal themselves under the eyes of others. Ability."

"From that Jiang Lei's happily racquet racquet, but always unaware of the reaction, this ability is obviously very effective. If it weren't for a person with a keen inspiration like Xiangyang You, ordinary psychics would have a closer look. If you personally touch them, you may not be able to notice that they are hidden inside the object."

……awesome.

  Xu Xiangyang once again felt emotional.

  Sir, the squad leader had already considered it.

  If Lin Xingjie’s approach is simple and violent like a sharp blade, but it is directed at the core, then Zhu Qingyue’s style of acting is exquisite and dripping.

"However, the evil spirits are evil spirits after all, and they are not strong enough. One-on-one may not be able to beat Jiang Lei. There is no way to deal with it like Lin Xingjie." The squad leader explained seriously, "That's why it needs to pass. A sneak attack can be stopped. If it really develops to that point, the scene might... be a bit bloody."

   "Blood, bloody?"

  Zhu Qingyue thought for a while, smiled and described it like this:

   "Xiang Yang, don't you like watching discs? Have you watched "Alien"?"

   "Ah, of course I have seen such a classic! It is that alien monster that parasites on a human body and hatches, and then it will emerge from the stomach, uh, from the stomach..."

  Xu Xiangyang’s voice became smaller and smaller, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

   "Hahaha, Xiangyang, you are so timid, I'm kidding!"

  Zhu Qingyue smiled super happily. After a while, she said with a smile on her face:

   "Okay, I'll go and thank Xingjie for your help. Are you not allowed to come over?"

   "What are you doing? Something is hiding from me?"

  Xu Xiangyang raised his brows.

   "Uh...you can help look at that guy first?"

   "I think he probably can't do bad things now."

  Xu Xiangyang glanced at Jiang Lei who was sitting beside the court not far away. This guy is now like a frosted eggplant.

   "Isn't it going to be a game soon!" The squad leader rolled his eyes and said, "Xingjie is going to change sports underwear. I will help you watch the wind. Do you want to follow?"

  ……

After bidding farewell to Xu Xiangyang, Zhu Qingyue hummed a small tune to the row of sinks next to the bathroom.

  Sure enough, Lin Xingjie was there. She bent down slightly in front of the pool, and after her long hair was tied into a ponytail, her swan-like elegant neck was exposed, and the delicate collarbone could be vaguely seen from the neckline of her shirt.

  The girl slapped her hands and cheeks with the water from the tap, to get rid of the heat and sweat.

  When she straightened up and took off the belt, her long hair fell back, and the splashing water was crystal clear, making her snow-white skin gleaming in the bright sun. The girl stood by the pool, like standing in the middle of a small Hongqiao.

  Zhu Qingyue stopped and admired for a while, then asked casually.

   "Xingjie, why did you do such a thing suddenly?"

   "...Didn't I say it? I have made up my mind."

  Lin Xingjie did not look up, but replied calmly.

   "I just can't understand this. I don't know why you suddenly wanted to make this change."

  Zhu Qingyue put her hands behind her back, slowly approaching.

   "I think Xiang Yang also finds it difficult to understand for a while. It's just that he is so kind to friends, and sometimes because he cares too much about your and my mood, so he won't ask directly."

After hearing these words, Lin Xingjie finally turned around.

  The warm summer wind blew the two girls by the pool, blowing their clothes and hair.

  Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue looked at each other quietly, and could see the seriousness in each other's pupils.

  Even though in front of that boy, Xingjie always showed a charming and charming posture. But at this moment, she has long hair fluttering, her eyes drooping, but there is something between her eyebrows...not the maturity of her peers.

  However, Xingjie, who grew up in that environment, should have been more mature than ordinary people, Zhu Qingyue thought so.

   "I just feel that it is impossible for a day like this to last for a long time."

   Lin Xingjie replied.
