Invade the World

  Chapter 177 "War" without gunpowder

   Standing in front of the two is a huge monster that will only appear in the movie: a giant with a torso and limbs constructed from a haunted house. In terms of body size, it may be larger than Xiao An.

  Of course, building materials such as cement and glass cannot completely conform to the structure of human limbs and torso. This giant looks completely deformed in some places, which makes its appearance look even more terrifying.

After the fusion of    and the haunted house, the range of the dark air current controlled by Song Deshou has become wider, and the scale of the dark power lingering around the giant body is not the same as the past.

If the scene when it appeared in the alley next to the cram school last time is described as "a hurricane set off in a clearing" is a relatively exaggerated description; then the old man in the haunted house seems to be true Wherever it was, a gloomy storm was set off—

  The ceiling and walls have all become part of the giant’s body, leaving only the surrounding ruined walls and the concrete floor under the feet, as well as the dark world on the edge of the abyss.

  The storm came suddenly, raging, as if to blow them all up into the sky.

  Xu Xiangyang narrowed his eyes and activated his psychic abilities.

  The dark airflow not only has a physical destructive effect, but more importantly, it harms people’s thinking. He naturally noticed this a long time ago.

  It’s just that the evil spirits may be the most threatening in the eyes of others; but Xu Xiangyang can easily fight against it, so neither of them took it seriously.

  The giant also knew how they couldn’t do it, so it leaned down and stretched out its palm, which was constructed of reinforced concrete and tiled floors, with a pile of furniture stuck in it, and grabbed them—

  This time it was blocked by the squad leader, and the girl was also very relaxed.

   "Big size does not mean getting stronger."

  Zhu Qingyue's palm raised slightly, as if tossed something gently and skillfully.

  The result was that the giant house in front of him seemed to slip on the soles of his feet, and his huge body fell backwards, making a "rumbling" echo, and the entire ground was trembling violently.

  The terrible appearance that could give people a sense of heavy oppression, lost a lot of majesty in this slightly comical fall.

  The old man's face opened like a crack in his mouth, and a puff of black smoke spit out from it.

  Xu Xiangyang wanted to laugh a little. He resisted the urge and put on a serious expression on his face tightened.

  The current appearance of the old man in the haunted house, strictly speaking, is not as terrifying as the human form, but with a strange temperament.

However, people are born with fear of huge things. Once anything is magnified ten times or one hundred times, it is the unquestionable source of terror; even when someone sees those towering buildings and natural landscapes, they will subconsciously be bothered. Share warfare, let alone a giant that can move?

  However, this fear has now been easily broken by the squad leader, allowing him to stand in place with a calm mind, and observe the opponent's next move calmly.

  The old man in the haunted house saw a moment of helplessness, so he roared, and the dark air circling around his body expanded again, shooting in all directions like tentacles—

  Next is another extraordinary scene, no less than the scene where the evil spirit merged with the haunted house and turned into a giant.

  It turned into a giant magnet, releasing a surging attraction. The countless rooms floating in the void for a while were all pulled over and flew to the heads of two people.

  The seemingly precarious brick eaves may fall down due to gravity at any time.

  In fact, some of the tables and chairs in the room had fallen out of the door "crashing", some fell into the cliff, and some fell to the ground, dust everywhere.

  After the storm, it was showers—

  Each building is a heavy drop of rain, enough to easily crush a flesh and blood body standing on the ground.

  ...I have to say that this scene is still very exaggerated. In a dinosaur documentary, every time a imaginary meteorite meteor shower hits the earth at the end.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn’t help feeling, wondering what to do if other people face this kind of scene? Can only think of a way to solve the old man in the haunted house first.

  "Qingyue, you...can't you hold on? Should we hide in another place?"

   he asked a little worried.

   During this period of time, Xiao An, who has expanded and grown again, can probably smash these floating houses. His body will not fear this degree of fall damage; and the line of the squad leader can also easily manipulate objects of this weight.

  That’s why the two girls are real supermen... However, it is not without a price to maintain this powerful ability to interfere with the real world.

  I don’t know how many houses are summoned by the old man in the haunted house. If they keep falling down all the time, even if the area that needs to be protected is not wide, it is still possible that the girl next to him will consume too much energy.

   "No need."

The squad leader shook his head, confident and calm.

   "The moment I knew he could manipulate the internal environment of the haunted house, I was ready."

  She took a step forward.

  The old face made up of windows and doors roared, and the first room fell towards them, followed by the second and third—

  "Don’t show off there anymore, you wouldn’t think that in the past few days, I didn’t do anything at all, just chatting and playing with friends, right?"

  The girl smiled without fear at the monster.

   "Anywhere I walked, there are already lines left—"

  She raised her hand, pointed her palm to the sky, and brought her five fingers together.

   "Now, it's time to take them all back."

Before the girl spoke, half of the houses that fell down suddenly flew in the opposite direction to the sky, and some of them rammed the next house aside as if they were alive. The two buildings were broken to pieces and turned into wreckage and scattered on the ground. , Some even thrown directly at the giant in front of you

  The old man in the haunted house had to move his arms to protect himself. For a while, its body was smashed into bricks and tiles, and cement splashed everywhere.

  ...

  Seeing the squad leader showcasing his supernatural power, Xu Xiangyang on the side was both surprised and ashamed.

To be honest, although he explored the haunted house and bumped into more than one evil spirit, and used it as evidence to find the whereabouts of the psychic squad members, explore the origin of the haunted house, etc., he is indeed going to be great during this period of time. Part of the energy and thoughts are devoted to resolving the contradiction with the squad leader, while ignoring other things.

  Qingyue, she really is more suitable than herself...

   "If there is only this degree, your second'life' should end here!"

  Invisible lines are crisscrossed and crisscrossed in every corner of the space, easily tearing and tearing off the various structures covering the body surface of the old man in the haunted house.

  The giant roared and knelt to the ground, its body shattered inch by inch, fell off, and finally fell apart and fell apart.

  The structure of the brick house wall is like a piece of puzzle. It was originally pasted on it, but now it is falling off one by one, and everything is restored to its original state.

  The world full of dark abyss disappeared, and they returned to the original living room.

Xu Xiangyang looked forward and saw that the giant disappeared without a trace. Only Song Deshou’s face was embedded on the wall, like a raised relief; it was like the whole person was poured into the wall by cement, leaving only The next distorted howling grimace is vividly showing the look of pain and anger intertwined.

   "...It seems that the skills really stop here."

  Zhu Qingyue shook her head slightly, not knowing whether she was disappointed or happy.

The old man in the haunted house roared and wanted to break away from the adhering wall, but just as Xu Xiangyang guessed, he actively chose the evil spirit to be integrated with the haunted house. Although his power within the haunted house can be greatly enhanced, it is difficult to get out again. , When the situation fell into the wind, did not escape like the previous two times.

  In other words, the opponent personally cut off his own back.

   "This time is really going to end."

  Xu Xiangyang thought.

  As Song Deshou’s strength weakened, the aura of the haunted house was slowly declining.

  He squeezed the fragments in his hand, even if he didn’t activate the psychic, he could feel it. Not far in front of them, there was a door that was originally integrated with the space and was inseparable. At this moment, a gap is slowly opening—

   "Dare you go?!"

   Just then, a spiteful voice rang gloomily behind them.

  Xu Xiangyang turned his head and found that the person standing on the second floor was Song Yao who had not seen each other for a long time.

  This guy looked like he had just come out of a hole in the ground and was puffed with dust. He was all dirty, only a kitchen knife in his hand was shining with cold light.

  The boy's face is hideous and distorted, and there is a black air current around him.

   "If you dare to go... dare to step out of this house, I will stabb you to death!"

  He threatened fiercely with an attitude of yelling.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but frown.

  It’s not because of how scary the other party’s threats are, but because the sound he makes when he screams is not like Song Yao himself...

  Although he is still a male voice, he is obviously older and closer to a middle-aged person, as if another person is wearing his skin and speaking to them from the inside of his body.

Moreover, this guy was glaring at them with a knife, but his vision was empty and out of focus, and his mouth was muttering. What he muttered over and over was those few logically broken, chaotic and inverted words, mostly "I'm going to kill you." "Don't leave" "Don't you want to leave this home" and the like.

   "Are you possessed by an evil spirit?"

  The squad leader also noticed him. The thread gathered in the girl's hand was tightly entwining Song Deshou who was trapped in the wall, and at this moment she took her attention back again.

   "Hey, what, is he here for us?"

  The girl laughed, seeming to feel that she has discovered something interesting again. The first step is to take the initiative to hold Xu Xiangyang’s hand and approach him affectionately...

   "It's better not to stimulate him? I think Song Yao's mental condition is not very stable."

  Xu Xiangyang was a little helpless.

   "Hehe, what does it matter?"

  Zhu Qingyue put the whole person closer.

When the two were biting their ears and whispering, the boy holding the knife finally moved. The surface of his eyeballs was bloodshot and red, like an angry bull, jumping down the stairs and heading towards each other. People rushed in.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn’t see if he was really stimulated by the squad leader’s actions, because the guy’s facial expressions were already distorted enough.

  The "collar" that was wrapped around Song Yao's neck has not been untied yet, and it was tightest as soon as he started.

With the strength of the silk thread that can lift a whole building, it is enough to twist a person's neck like a towel. At this time, the neck of an ordinary person should be abruptly broken, but he can even rush over regardless of it. !

"Oh?"

  The squad leader raised his brows slightly and raised his small hands.

  More lines have fallen. After a few breaths, Song Yao's pace still stopped.

  However, the power of the evil spirits lodged on his body did not dissipate as a result. The black mist struggled hard, climbed up his arms and thighs, covered his whole body a little bit, and finally extended to the blade—

  It is trying to break free from the shackles of the thread.

  If it is said that evil spirits will act logically during his lifetime, and this evil spirit possessed by Song Yao at this moment, exudes a killing intent he has never seen before...

  Does this mean that this guy once killed someone?

  At the same time, Song Deshou inside the wall realized that he could not break free from the shackles of the haunted house for the time being, and even if he went out, he would end up being caught by Zhu Qingyue.

  So, the evil spirit made the final choice: it opened its mouth and sprayed out a dark cloud and mist. The cloud and mist gradually turned into a faint human silhouette, seeming to intend to support Song Yao.

  The face embedded in the wall is dimmed.

  Xu Xiangyang sighed slightly.

   "Clear Moon."

  The moment they met, they all understood each other's thoughts.

   "I'll... solve it!"

  But he still uttered these words upright, and then closed his eyes.

  The old man in the haunted house now has no spare energy to resist his consciousness invasion.

  Watching all this happened, Zhu Qingyue's fingers lifted slightly subconsciously, and then put them down with restraint.

  To follow the "convention", she thought.

  *

  Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue, the ultimate goal that the two people want to achieve is actually the same, but the means are different; and the reason why they agreed is to give him and her a chance at the same time.

  Because no one knows what the future will be, it is difficult to draw conclusions about who is right.

But whether it is subconsciously succumbing to the idea of ​​taking care of others, or because of the jealousy of a certain boy, Yu Zhu Qingyue is a "breakthrough" novel experience; therefore, she is willing to temporarily retreat and believe that this will bring her own life. The boy who came to change, entrusted all his emotions and trust to him.

During the week when they were alone in the haunted house, young girls fought a "war without gunpowder"—a war for the initiative in emotional and interpersonal relationships. They had to face each other. Contradictions, all disagreements, and an honest answer after recognizing the inner thoughts.

  As a result, Zhu Qingyue realized some real emotions that she had neglected intentionally or unintentionally in the past; she discovered that the emotions with Xiangyang had already shaken the decision she made, so she took the initiative to admit defeat.

The occurrence and ending of this invisible confrontation may not have been clearly noticed by Xu Xiangyang himself, but in the end he grasped the first-line victory by intuition and decisive action: the girl thought she was calm enough to achieve a three-person relationship. The determination of the new relationship was firm enough, but when he saw the teenager actively cut his wrist, he still lost his sense of measure in a daze.

  Of course, even with such a hard-won victory, Xu Xiangyang's opportunity is only one opportunity. If he fails, he has to follow Zhu Qingyue's approach, which is the agreed content.

  Although it may hurt Xiangyang and Xingjie’s emotions and a little bit of personality independence, acting in accordance with her plan is the best way for the three to have a happy life together—

  Even now, girls never give up this idea.

  ...

  Don't let me down, Xiangyang.

  After the old man in the haunted house was invaded by psychics, he lost his spare capacity for support. Song Yao, who was possessed by evil spirits not far away, could not be the squad leader's opponent alone. His hands and feet were slowly rotating in different directions, making a cruel noise; but she But his attention has not been placed on the insignificant.

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and stretched out her hand to gently support the boy's back to prevent him from falling.

  ...No, it’s not right. From the perspective of satisfying personal desires, should I be said to be disappointed?
