Invade the World

  Chapter 13 Giant Fish

  Xu Xiangyang really hopes that he has the ability to hide bullets like Neo in The Matrix, but he is just an ordinary student, even a dog can't hide, he can only watch the grinning rabid dogs pounce on him.

  He only had time to pull the girl behind him, staring forward, standing still as if solidified in cement, standing rigidly in place, ready to be bitten.

  But just in the next moment.

  —"Go away!"

  The girl's shout came from behind.

  This voice is so high and full of momentum, it almost makes him feel that there is a gust of wind in the alley out of thin air.

And after this shout, the rabid dogs who were rushing in front of them suddenly stopped, their long, dirty and curly hair swayed back in the wind; the group of dogs stuck together seemed to hit a certain A kind of transparent air barrier bounced back from mid-air, and they kept sliding on the concrete floor in a biting posture until they slid to the far corner of the wall.

  ...

  He turned his head in astonishment, just to see the girl's long black hair fluttering in the wind that had not yet completely calmed down.

  At the same time, Xu Xiangyang shuddered suddenly, and his hair was erect. Because at that moment, he clearly felt some kind of "behemoth" sliding across his shoulder—

  Xu Xiangyang's eyes widened.

what is that?

There seems to be something wrong with the refraction of the light in the alley. Xu Xiangyang saw the quiet waves of the air as if thrown into the water surface of stones; his vision was like standing on an asphalt road in the scorching heat of summer, and being scorched by the heat. The roasted ground showed a slight distortion.

The alley seems to have become a big fish tank, and "that thing" slides by like a fish in a water tank. Xu Xiangyang has chest tightness and shortness of breath almost at the same moment. There is nothing in front of him, but he only feels affected. The squeeze of some kind of bloated object;

  After a short breath, the fuzzy and huge light and shadow that seemed to overflow from both sides of the wall disappeared into the air like a bubble.

  No... missing?

   really happened in a flash. That weird sense of oppression only appeared for less than half a second before it ceased to exist, as if everything just now was just an illusion produced by people in a highly nervous situation.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help squatting down, clutching the suffocation of his chest, cold sweat on his forehead, and he could feel the sticky feeling coming from the clothes.

  Is my illusion? No, that's not right—

  Xu Xiangyang was dizzy and dizzy. He vaguely heard the girl's anxious shouts. When he fell backward, he was grabbed by the shoulders, and then he completely lost consciousness.

  When the wild dogs rushed towards her, Lin Xingjie did not move.

  In the depths of her body, a strange impulse surged uncontrollably.

  That is... "hungry", or "coveting".

  Normal people should feel nauseous, scared or panicked when they see this strange sight, right? But the girl felt like she smelled the tempting smell of food when she was hungry, and her stomach began to growl.

  Fortunately, Lin Xingjie was not controlled by this strange emotion, but she was so shocked that she could not speak.

No one knows her physical condition better than her. It was an impulse that she had vaguely produced before, but was ignored consciously or unconsciously; and when the girl saw the back of the teenager standing in front of her, there was a burst from her heart. While throbbing, this emotion was no longer restrained, because she subconsciously let go of the reason, reason and... common sense that had always suppressed this emotion.

  Like a beast that was originally imprisoned in a cage, he took the initiative to open the shackles.

   Then, her pupils reflected deep darkness.

   is exactly the same as the experience in that house: it is like a black hole, appearing not far from Lin Xingjie—hovering in front of her, as if not even light can escape its attraction. At this moment, nothing in the world except it can enter her eyes.

  The girl watched quietly, the time around her seemed to be still; and on the opposite side of the "hole", there was something huge and unparalleled waiting.

  That is the shadow body calling and following her in the haunted house.

  Faced with this abnormal scene, Lin Xingjie didn't feel scared at all. She felt an extremely close connection, and there was no need to resist and reject it, because it was originally a part of her body and consciousness.

In the past, she was like a person who had just woke up from a coma, her limbs were numb, so she could not feel the presence of the body; but now, she has finally become a complete and healthy person, with her hands and feet returning to herself. There has never been the slightest estrangement around him.

  Is it because of the influence of the dream last night?

   Lin Xingjie suddenly.

  That really wasn't a dream.

but…

   "Only part of it can come out."

  Same as in the dream, because the hole is too small, she can only call out a small part of the body.

  The next moment, the girl's perception of time returned to normal again.

  The entrance of the cave disappeared, and the meandering light and shadow rushed forward like a tide.

  In Lin Xingjie’s eyes, the behemoth that emerged from the black hole is also the body borrowed from my consciousness last night. It looks like a huge...

"fish".

  The body of the fish is a deep turbid current, and waves are on the surface. It shakes its tail and slaps the wild dog that is leaping at the two to the ground.

"Well…"

  The boy standing in front of her seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable. He held his forehead, squatted down with a painful grunt, and leaned back.

   Lin Xingjie quickly supported the opponent who was out of balance.

  She put her hands around Xu Xiangyang's neck, and anxiously put her hands close to his forehead and nose.

   "...it seems okay. Just fainted? It's better to go to the hospital."

   Lin Xingjie wants to help her up.

However, the wild dogs who were photographed on the ground did not seem to give up. They made a "sobbing" roar in their throats. After standing up together, they snarled at her. The leading wild dog was bloodstained, and his pupils were greedy and vicious. But it became more and more fierce, and after opening his mouth, the row of sharp white teeth seemed to emit a strong fishy smell on each of them.

  The skull of one of the wild dogs was shattered by great force, and only half of the face was left with an eyeball dropped, but it was still dragged to stand up.

The joints between the limbs of the wild dogs—the pink muscles covering the fascia began to swell and contract, gradually pulling the half of the mutilated face closer to the group of dogs, pulling it to the side of the head of the leading wild dog. The heads of the dogs slowly fused together-and gradually turned into a deformed monster like a child's plasticine.

  It does not seem to be biologically reasonable at all. The epidermis is protruding from sarcomas of different sizes due to excessive squeezing and muscle hyperplasia.

  The stout neck of the dog was hung with a fleshy mass mixed with a large number of teeth, eyeballs, nose and other facial features. Accompanied by the thick and terrible breathing, plasma and brain fluid flowed down the trembling sarcoma.

  ...

  The whale-like shadow circled in the air, returned to the girl's back, and waited quietly.

  Lin Xingjie frowned, she subconsciously hugged the young man in her arms, squatted halfway in place, watching the horrifying scene in front of her.

   can no longer simply be described as "weird".

  They are no longer dogs or other animals. After the dogs swallowed the dead Wang Nana's body, they turned into real monsters.

  But at this moment, Lin Xingjie did not have any surprises or fears. Her emotions were so calm that even she herself felt surprised. The lake in her heart was like a mirror and could not be disturbed.

  When the meatball monster walked towards the two of them with staggering steps, Lin Xingjie stretched out a hand into the air and waved it down.

  —"Eat it."

  Received the master's order, the giant fish whizzed from behind the girl and swallowed the monster in front of her.
