Invade the World

  Chapter 171 Super Wayward and Super Troublesome Bad Girl

--"thank you."

  Xu Xiangyang said to her sincerely.

  The female ghost in the jacket did not respond to him.

  Her eyes are empty, without focus, she always stands there motionless, but every once in a while, she opens her mouth and says "Help me..."

   seems to lack real rationality.

  Only when it feels threatened like last time, will it trigger the alarm and resistance mechanism.

   Is it just a remnant of consciousness before alive? It turns out that there is no difference between the female ghost and the phantom it creates.

  Xu Xiangyang was a little bit lost, but he instinctively felt: Fortunately, it was only a residue.

   is also a human evil spirit with different types

  If it is a type with relatively complete intellectuality like the old man in the haunted house, maybe it will not help itself as an evil spirit?

  Because the female ghost in front of her is a dregs of fragments left by the deceased, she will not take the initiative to harm people, but will honestly act according to Qian Yingxiu's dying desires.

"help me……"

  This is the last sentence that Qian Xiuying was dragged into the bathtub, but was blocked in her throat when she wanted to speak;

   is mixed with the fear of death, the desire for life, and the belief before death:

  Pass the news about her and her team members, and...

  Leave this haunted house.

   "I will leave."

  Xu Xiangyang raised his hand and accidentally rubbed it against the corner of the female ghost's clothes-but the flesh and blood body did not feel the evil spirit, and the touch of his fingertips was empty.

  He sighed secretly in his heart, and said:

  "About your things, your experience in this house, I will pass it on, don’t worry."

  While Xu Xiangyang spoke, he had been observing her expression attentively. However, the female ghost in the assault clothes remained the same as before, and did not change at all.

  He regrets it, but Xu Xiangyang, who made the decision, has decided not to care.

  The young man stood up, smiled and waved goodbye to the female ghost. After turning around, he never looked back.

   Only the human-shaped evil spirits continued to wander alone in this dark room, repeating the same sentence with dull eyes...

  *

After getting the exact clues, Xu Xiangyang set off on his return journey.

  The bet with the squad leader, he has actually completed. The fragments of "Void Gate", as long as you get this item, you can find the way to leave the haunted house.

  According to the content of the psychic memories, the fragment should still be left in the bathtub in that bedroom now, where the pajama ghost Qi Qiufang died before her death.

  Whether it is Qi Qiufang's body or the corpse of a female member of the psychic team, it has long been swallowed up by this house, and only the evil spirit itself needs to be treated with caution.

  On the way home, Xu Xiangyang accidentally found a surprise:

  When he unconsciously used his psychic abilities to observe the surroundings and positioning, he suddenly found that the scope had become wider, and the landscape that he could “see” seemed to become clearer.

  After confirming several times, Xu Xiangyang finally realized that it was not his own illusion, and his psychic ability seemed to have become a little stronger...

  Invading the spiritual world of evil spirits, this seemingly adventurous act, there is even this kind of gain.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help laughing out loud.

It is not good?

  With the reasons and methods to become stronger, his confidence has become more full.

  This relaxed and happy mood lasted until Xu Xiangyang arrived at his destination.

  The bedroom that originally belonged to Song Yao’s parents has been occupied by both of them this week.

  When he first caught a glimpse of Zhu Qingyue's back in the bathroom, he didn't notice anything wrong. Xu Xiangyang even felt that the squad leader stayed in the room until he came back, and never left.

   "Hey, haven't you given up the idea of ​​taking a bath here?"

  Xu Xiangyang saw her kneeling and sitting in front of the bathtub, thinking that she was having an episode of cleanliness again, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

  In fact, the soaked corpse they saw was indeed a phantom, but it looked terrifying; more importantly, they tried it. There was clean water in this room!

  This is not difficult to understand. After all, there is still a living person like Song Yao who lives, so some important rooms in this haunted house are supplied by clean natural water.

  In other words, if the squad leader really wants to let the water take a bath, it’s not impossible.

  It’s just that...this bathtub was really used to soak dead people in the past, and most people can’t get through this psychological hurdle;

  Furthermore, Xu Xiangyang now knows very well that this bathtub is the connection point between the haunted house and the female ghost in pajamas, so she must stop her from trying.

  Otherwise, when Zhu Qingyue is halfway through her washing, the female ghost suddenly pops out of the bathtub, what should I do?

  Even a perfect, almost superhuman squad leader who is suddenly shocked by this kind of shock in a private place where he is happily taking a bath, maybe he will panic?

  He couldn't help but think of the challenge letter the girl sent to herself when she bid farewell to Zhu Qingyue not long ago-thinking that if things really develop to that point, it is not him who should cry, but the other party.

   Thoughts So far, Xu Xiangyang's mind unexpectedly came up with the demonic and alluring thoughts of "I really want to see Qingyue crying in fear", but the integrity of the boy's heart still prevailed.

  He was very fortunate that he came back in time. In case Zhu Qingyue had already started taking a bath at this moment, he really didn’t know whether he should break in and stop it.

  "Wait, Qingyue, just in time, I have found a clue to leave here. It turns out that this bathtub is the key..."

  However, when Xu Xiangyang was about to walk behind the girl, his voice stopped abruptly and his eyes widened in disbelief.

  ……

  The bathtub was really full of clear water, and what appeared in the rippling water was not a clear color but a layer of pink.

  Zhu Qingyue’s wrists fell into the water, her crystal skin was cut open, and strands of blood spilled from the wound, floating on the surface of the water——

  "You, what are you doing?"

  Xu Xiangyang was so scared that he almost had a cardiac arrest.

  Cut...cut your wrist? !

why? !

  Yes...because it is too sad or depressed? Is it because of me? Did I make her sad? Did I do something to sorry her?

  ...Is it for the quarrel between the two before the gambling contract was made?

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt an unprecedented emotion of regret. He would have known that he would not say that! Even if it turns out to be **** by her, I can't go anywhere, so I can bear it for the time being and I will pass! Shouldn't conflict with her head-on-

  ...No, no, no, wrong.

  He took a deep breath and thought about it, this level of contradiction shouldn’t make Qingyue choose to commit suicide, right? Has his friend ever been so fragile...

  At that moment, Xu Xiangyang had countless confused thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't calm down at all;

   But in contrast, his movements are very simple and neat. After seeing the astonishing scene of Zhu Qingyue cutting her wrist, Xu Xiangyang reacted in a daze for a moment, rushing to the girl in three steps and two steps, ready to pull her hand out.

Zhu Qingyue leaning on the bathtub, her head slightly sideways, her long eyelashes cast shadows on the jade cheeks, covering her eyes, her quiet posture seemed to fall asleep deeply, like a beautiful statue Jade statue.

  However, when his finger was about to touch her shoulder, the girl opened her eyes first.

  She smiled calmly after seeing Xu Xiangyang's face.

   "Xiangyang, you are here."

  Xu Xiangyang's movements stopped.

   "Are you...are you okay?"

  He frowned, and suddenly he had a new guess.

   "Is it a hallucination?"

  However, the evil spirit that can create hallucinations has been captured, and with Zhu Qingyue's disposition and ability, he doesn't think the so-called hallucinations can be effective.

   "Uh...no, you may have misunderstood, I was going to do this."

  The squad leader seemed to finally realize that the situation was not right. She raised her head and met Xu Xiangyang's anxiety and nervous eyes, and replied with a little embarrassment.

   "I didn't expect you to come back so soon, I accidentally scared you, sorry."

  "...Do you do it yourself? Why?"

  Xu Xiangyang knocked on his forehead. His thinking was like a pot of boiled paste and he couldn't figure out the situation, but he was filled with inexplicable depression.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." She comforted, "It's just an attempt. Moreover, I'm fully prepared. The corners of this room are covered by my lines. As long as it reaches a certain level, When time, my consciousness sinks into a drowsiness, or blood loss causes the inevitable weakness of my body, the bloodletting process will stop. In addition, there are also No.1 and No.3 staring at me."

  The girl is right. Xu Xiangyang froze for a moment. He turned his head and saw that human-faced spiders and giant moths were sneaking out of the shadows in the room.

  As for the line Qingyue said, he can't see it, but it has indeed become a net of heaven and earth if he wants to come here.

  Don’t say it was an accident, even if the female ghost came out of the bathtub again, or even the old man from the haunted house came in person, it didn’t make sense to her.

but……

  "Try it? What are you going to try?! Stop kidding!"

  The feeling of boredom that emerged in the boy's heart turned into fuel, and he inadvertently lit a raging fire in his heart.

  Xu Xiangyang got out of the ground and got angry.

  Even when she tied her body with a string and played with her like a marionette, he just felt uncomfortable and not angry.

  Because they are the best friends, they are like being closely linked by fate. They get along day after day and have a common language, and they have accumulated a deep emotional foundation in a short period of time.

  Even if there are occasional disagreements in concept, as long as you can face it frankly, don't treat it as invisible, and seek common ground while reserving differences in time will not harm your relationship.

   But now--

  "In fact, regular bloodletting is good for people's health, just like participating in blood donation activities..."

  Zhu Qingyue whispered, but when she saw Xu Xiangyang staring at her with red pupils, the girl's expression rarely fluctuated, her eyes lowered subconsciously.

  "...However, the most important thing is that there is no other way. If you want to solve the problem as soon as possible and leave this haunted house, you can only do this kind of attempt..."

"say clearly."

  Xu Xiangyang tried hard to contain the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

  "Do you know the name Qi Qiufang?"

   "...is the pajamas ghost we met by chance, right?"

  The squad leader nodded slightly.

"It seems that Xiangyang, you have indeed gained something. She is Song Yao's mother, an evil spirit with a special status in this house. Because Qi Qiufang and Song Deshou both evolved when the haunted house phenomenon first eroded this house. Became an evil spirit."

  "I know. The official name is that such evil spirits are ‘nodes’. If you want to eliminate this haunted house, you must not only destroy Song Deshou’s core, but also remove the nodes."

  In his psychic memories, he heard this term from the members of the psychic team.

   "Yes. So, I think we have to find the whereabouts of the female ghost in pajamas. But the result is not surprising, she and Song Deshou have similar abilities and can be integrated with this house..."

  She sighed.

  "The same problem. If I want to solve this kind of evil spirit, it is not difficult. The key is that we can't find Song Deshou's trace, and it is difficult to pull it out of the corner. The same is true for Qi Qiufang."

   "I have tried it. Even if that guy is not as intellectual as the old man in the haunted house, but at least has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages like a beast, she dare not appear in front of me."

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer, but silently stared at each other with the clear pupils of the squad leader.

   "So, I tried to find a way that might work."

  Zhu Qingyue said.

"Do you know how this woman died? She died in this bathroom. She committed suicide by slashing her wrists. The whole bathtub was filled with blood at that time. And the action mode of the human evil spirit will undoubtedly be held by the deceased. The influence of Nian...I have confirmed that this is how an intruder died."

   "Even so—"

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but speak.

   "No way, Xiangyang, after all, I did everything."

   Seeing that the teenager's anger seemed to have eased, the squad leader also regained the calm and self-assured attitude of the past.

  She squinted her eyes slightly, resting her head on her arm lightly, with a lazy expression that seemed to say, "What can you do with me?" Of course, after seeing Xu Xiangyang still frowning and uncomfortable, she couldn't help but comforted:

   "Don't worry, I have experience, and it's not the first time I have done this kind of thing."

  ……

……what?

  What did she just say?

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help his eyes widening.

  Zhu Qingyue seemed to feel that she had missed her mouth, her pale cheeks floated a little blush, and she turned her head in embarrassment.

   "You didn't hear what you said just now! That was a long time ago. People always do stupid things when they are young."

  ……

  Xu Xiangyang held his forehead, and for a while he lost the strength to burst into flames.

  In everyone’s eyes, the eldest Qingyue, who is loved by everyone, and the flowers are blooming, has actually tried to cut her wrists——

  Really...ridiculous.

  But at the same time, a kind of understanding faintly floated in his heart.

  He should have known it a long time ago.

  His good friend is a very, very, very troublesome girl.

  When she was an ordinary person, she would rather sleep two nights with the monster across the bed, rather than tell the truth to Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie, who are capable and clearly willing to help her.

If we say so far, it is only the degree of "worrisome character". Lin Xingjie also had such a period of time: she was unwilling to open her heart to anyone, curled up like a hedgehog, and directed deep thorns to the outside world. , So lonely that I would rather break through the south wall alone than look back.

  But now, in front of at least two friends, she has become a frank and true self.

  Zhu Qingyue is different. As the relationship between them becomes deeper and closer, her hidden true personality is revealed layer by layer like peeling an onion:

A little devil who likes to tease friends, on a whim, he will try to make two friends become lovers. She is full of egoism, and the desire to control is so strong that it is unacceptable; and Xu Xiangyang at this moment is on her again. Discovered a new side, that is a subtle... self-destructive impulse. Perhaps, the reason she refused to ask for help from herself and Xingjie at that time was also related to it.

  It’s so difficult...

  His brows fell into a ball and couldn't open.

  As a personal experience who has been with the girl all the time, Xu Xiangyang often has extremely complex emotions in his heart:

There is not only the joy of realizing that I am becoming more and more aware of her, but at the same time, I am always surprised by her unexpected words and deeds, which makes me speechless, like the pungency of being irritated to tears when cutting an onion. Feel.

  If Lin Xingjie used to pretend to be a bad boy, then the squad leader is a bad boy in the true sense of the word.

  All of this, as she said...

   "——From now on, I decided to be a bad boy."

  Today's Xu Xiangyang really hopes to travel through time and go back and beat himself up for saying "I support you".

At that time, he had no idea that things would turn out to be like this. The squad leader’s disguise was too confusing... No, to be more precise, the perfect squad leader was also part of Zhu Qingyue, but no one Understand, her character is much more than that.

  Faced with such a super willful and super troublesome bad girl, what should he do?

   "I said you, before doing this kind of thing, at least you have to discuss with me first..."

Halfway through the conversation, Xu Xiangyang sighed and couldn't help but shook his head.

  He knew that such soft words would not help her.

  Xu Xiangyang knew better that he must not sit idly by.

  ——At this moment, a strange thought came to Xu Xiangyang's mind.

  Is it because I was affected by her, and my mind became abnormal, right?

  Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, but he did not hesitate to grasp it firmly, and quickly made up his mind.

   "Also, even if the reason for this is absolutely necessary, it should be me, a boy."

While    was speaking, he caught a glimpse of the knife on the washstand and picked it up easily.

"no, do not want……!"

  Zhu Qingyue was taken aback by his actions. After she reacted in the next second, the girl's face showed an unprecedented panic, but Xu Xiangyang just started to speak.

  In order to avoid being stopped, the boy gritted his teeth and brushed a sharply sharply on his wrist.

  His palm suddenly became bloody.
