Invade the World

  Chapter 213 The Giant Rat in the Basement

   "Get up angry?"

   "Yes, because she thinks sleep is very important for girls' skin care, so she cares about her sleep time."

  Speaking of this, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help sighing.

   During the time he stayed in the haunted house, he often suffered from the bad temper of the squad leader.

  If the problem is more serious, maybe Xingjie will get up, but the two have not lived in the same room, so I’m not sure; I will know the answer if I want to come tomorrow morning.

"That was not what I meant……"

  Mr. reporter does not seem to be satisfied with his answer.

   "But I really meant that, I won't lie to you."

  Xu Xiangyang put it very simply.

   "If it were not for fear that my girlfriend and another companion would be interrupted during their breaks, I wouldn't be able to go out of the room to be nosy, and it would be impossible to help you."

  The reporter glanced at the female ghosts in white not far away. After a moment of silence, he said:

  "...Student Xu? May I call you like that? Actually, you don't need to be so wary of me. I know some things that others don't know."

  Even though the two of them were living nearby, reporter Wei subconsciously lowered his voice:

  "—Such as evil spirits and psychics."

  ……

……Oh.

Seeing that Xu Xiangyang just raised his eyebrows and did not answer, he didn't care, and continued:

   "Actually, I'm... well, I'm a psychic, but my ability is very weak. Sometimes I need tools to see it."

  He raised the camera in his hand to signal.

   "But, the other people in the car are always ordinary people, right? They can see evil spirits, which shows that this thing is unusual."

  "Can you be more specific?"

"Well, didn't the tour guide talked about it at night? There was a tragedy in this city two months ago. Ordinary citizens and ordinary police may not know it, but the local special commissioners have already figured it out. Conclusion, this is not done by normal people."

   "Evil spirits dominate? Or possessed?"

"According to the gossip I got, it is probably an out of control psychic." Reporter Wei replied, "What can be confirmed at the moment is that the targeted target is the husband in that family. Because there is a record of him on the official file, listen. Said that the local special adjustment department of Shanyin City had originally planned to admit him as a full member."

  ——Out of control?

  Xu Xiangyang heard what he cared about.

"Spirit medium is a group that has superpowers by controlling evil spirits. It sounds very beautiful, and I have envied it when I didn't understand the situation." The curly-haired man shook his head with an expression of emotion, " Later, I learned that they have taken risks that ordinary people can't imagine. Once such people lose control, they will be eroded by evil spirits..."

   "Wait a minute, is it possible that things like loss of control are common?"

  "I don’t know this. But the stronger the psychic, the easier it is to lose control and cause more damage, so..."

  Wei reporter laughed.

  "A powerful psychic like Xu, should be more aware of the dangers than me?"

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer immediately.

  In the eyes of the other party, oneself, who can easily control several evil spirits, obviously must be a psychic that has mastered a more powerful evil spirit. It is impossible to know the pressure that such people need to face.

   "...I'm just a high school student."

   "Oh, it turns out that student Xu is still in the learning stage. The younger he has potential, the stricter the requirements will be. Don't take it too seriously."

The reporter from Wei Wei nodded suddenly and quickly changed the subject.

"In short, I need to keep the source of the news secret, so I will tell you alone, and don't tell others. As for my motives for coming here, it is actually very simple: cases involving evil spirits, although the whole truth cannot be reported. Come out, but public opinion still has to give the people an explanation."

"Just like you may not know that this husband’s true identity is an out-of-control psychic, but at least you know that he is the murderer of the crime. This aspect also requires the cooperation of the media, so when I learned the news by accident, I thought that maybe I could I grabbed the first-hand information and made a special report, so I came over to see if I could catch up with the timing of the prisoner's arrest."

   "I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, the following tour group happened to ran into the victim, and even the hotel where they were staying was haunted. I was thinking, this shouldn't be accidental..."

  While they were talking in a low voice, they suddenly noticed that the three sculpturally static female ghosts in white clothes began to act.

  A mother took the hands of the two daughters and floated towards the elevator.

  With a slight noise, the door opened again without people.

  It’s really complicated to watch ghosts carrying elevators like human beings.

The reporter Wei next to    guessed;

   "I was thinking just now, would the female ghosts not come to us, their target is someone else?"

   "...maybe."

  It seems that I can’t have a good rest tonight.

  Xu Xiangyang thought, in order to protect the delicate sleep of the two girls, Qingyue and Xingjie, he could not stop for the time being.

  *

  After watching the white-robed ghosts float into the elevator, Xu Xiangyang and reporter Wei followed them downstairs.

  They judged that they had gone to the negative layer based on the numbers displayed on the screen.

  Of course, the reporter dared not use the elevator anymore, so the two of them followed the safe passage and took the stairs to the basement.

Although the area is wide and the height is very low, it seems that you may hit your head at any time, so it is easy to give people a depressive look; without air conditioning and fans, the dense air in the basement is cold and humid, and it is unique to summer nights. The dull and sticky.

  The lights were not turned on in most areas, and the night was shrouded in a layer of invisible night.

  The eyes of the two people quickly fell to the entrance, where there was a green light flashing like fireflies, probably in a place like a power distribution room.

  Xu Xiangyang did not see the light itself, but “something” hidden nearby.

  At first, only a cloud of pitch black could be seen; but under the shadow of that shadow, there was a certain fierceness and unknownness that could not be hidden.

  Even ordinary people passing by may feel that their hair is standing upright. For Xu Xiangyang, a perceptive psychic, this strange breath is naturally more obvious.

  "Is it...Is there something in that place?"

The   Wei reporter repeatedly picked up the camera and put it down again, still unable to see clearly, and asked in an uncertain tone.

  Xu Xiangyang nodded, and replied briefly:

   "It's an evil spirit."

  The reporter couldn't help swallowing, and quickly hid behind the pillar.

   And Xu Xiangyang takes a step forward without fear.

   "Hey, who are you?"

  His voice echoed loudly in the night.

  After a while.

  "——Can you see me?"

  A deep and hoarse, tired voice that seemed to have not slept for several days came from the entrance. The expression of the curly-haired man who was hiding became obviously more nervous.

  ...Since the other party used "you", he actually doesn't need to hide it anymore, but reporter Wei hasn't reacted yet.

"Yes."

  Xu Xiangyang lifted his chin.

  "Tonight, this hotel seems to be too busy. Who are you?"

   did not answer, accompanied by a rustling sound, the giant shadow stretched out from the dark entrance, slowly revealing its original appearance under the big yellow light bulb.

  It is a monster that looks like a huge car. The lights in the basement can only illuminate half of its body; it is covered with fur, has bright red eyes, and a long tail. It looks like...

"mouse?"

  ——Is a huge friendless mouse.

Once a behemoth like this moves, the noise it makes is destined to be unconcealed; but this evil spirit's movements are very sensitive, only revealing its body, and then slipping into the shadow silently. This time it is. Disappeared completely.

  Xu Xiangyang frowned unconsciously.

  The monster evil spirit seems to have the ability to conceal itself. With his psychic ability far beyond ordinary people, he can only vaguely feel the outline at this distance.

  "This, is this the super power of psychics..."

  The reporter murmured to himself, his emotions were very high, full of tension and excitement, and he couldn't help squeezing his camera tightly again.

   "It seems to be invisible."

   Xu Xiangyang explained seriously.

   "No wonder, no wonder, this guy can escape for so long under the hunt..."

  Xu Xiangyang heard reporter Wei's muttering. It seems that he has regarded the man who manipulated the giant rat as a murderer.

   "Since you can see it, it's easy to say."

  After the evil spirit disappeared, the voice of a middle-aged man came from the entrance again.

   "Actually, I'm here to save you. Have you been targeted by a few female ghosts?"

   "...Do you have a way?"

"have."

  The man answered very briefly.

   "However, if there are your companions in this building, it may be dangerous. It's best to wake up everyone you know and come here all at once."

   "Don't you call everyone in the hotel down?"

   "That will startle the snake and cause chaos. I can only think of a way to solve the evil spirits first, and let you notify, just in case."

  "Who are you? Are you a special dispatcher?"

  Xu Xiangyang lively learns and uses the vocabulary he heard from reporter Wei.

  "Special dispatcher? No...no, I am...I am a non-governmental volunteer. I just happened to pass by here and noticed movement in the hotel, so I came to see the situation."

  The man's voice became deeper and deeper.

   "Hurry up and do what I say. It will be too late. If you delay it, not only you and the people you know, but the lives of the people in this building are not guaranteed."

"Wait a moment!"

  Wei reporter finally couldn't help but asked.

   "So, do you know the evil spirit who invaded this hotel?"

   "...I think so."

  The other party said vaguely.

"I know they are very fierce. There are already several lives on hand, but I can deal with it. Okay, are you going? If you accidentally die on the female ghosts before I do it, no one will take care of it. You collect the corpses."

  Wei reporter shuddered.

  In his opinion, the female ghosts in white will come to the negative first floor, obviously for this guy who hides his head and shows his tail.

  In other words, this person is very likely to be the murderer who brutally murdered his wife and daughter, the out-of-control psychic in the rumors——

  Even if it is not, this kind of psychic medium that dare not show its face and is not an official one is suspicious in every way.

  In this case, the other party also said that he would save the people in the hotel. Of course, he would not believe it. He only felt that the other party had other plans.

  But he was still scared.

  He was not afraid of the "female ghost killing her" in the other party's mouth, but worried that the psychic in front of him would turn his face.

   However, at this point, the other party's tone is clearly beginning to become impatient.

promise? That is to let others come down and die!

  Don’t agree? Then this guy might turn his face right away...

"I see."

  At this moment, Xu Xiangyang suddenly responded.

  When he heard his voice, reporter Wei's heart was raised in his throat.

   "Oh? Are you ready to go back? Don't be afraid, I can **** you to the first floor..."

   "No. I mean, I refuse."

  The curly-haired man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he felt ashamed.

"reject me?"

  The voice of the man in the dark became condensed.

   "It seems you don't know what you are talking about..."

   "Sorry, I know it well. Didn't you say that you would help us deal with the female ghost who invaded this hotel?"

  Xu Xiangyang interrupted the other party's conversation with a smile.

   "——Look, now is the time."

  His voice fell, and within a few seconds, under the passage not far away, the silhouettes of three female ghosts in white clothes, one large and two small, had emerged in the dim halo.

"……can not……"

  He heard the man say something again, like a vague complaint.

  In the next instant, a gust of wind roared up, rushing back and forth from the door of the basement.

  The lamps hanging down from the ceiling shook violently in the wind; the light and shadow intertwined all around suddenly shattered to the ground.

  Mr. reporter's reaction was fairly quick, and he subconsciously lay down on the ground; Xu Xiangyang did not respond, because he knew that the other party’s target was not himself.

  The huge rat is galloping in the passage of the basement, just like drilling a hole in the wall.

  The female ghosts in white who were obstructing the evil spirits in front all rushed forward, but the giant rat evil spirit seemed to slam into it completely indifferently.

  The moment the two collided, the figures of the female ghosts were as fragmented as the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and it seemed that they were not the opponents of this psychic at all.

  It moves swiftly and swiftly, rushing towards the vast shadow ahead——

  The floor and walls seem to have all changed from solid to liquid, and the giant mouse fell into it, just like falling into the water, silently.

Ceilings, walls, stairs... all the places that are not illuminated by lights have become swimming pools or pools, and this evil spirit is swimming between the "surfaces", sometimes popping out of its head, sometimes Sneaking in, leaving the basement soon, rushing up along the reinforced concrete.

  What an interesting super power...

  Xu Xiangyang watched it all the way silently, feeling in his heart.

  But reporter Wei obviously did not have this leisurely sentiment. He grabbed the boy's arm and shouted at him:

   "Not good! That guy went to the tenants upstairs! You go quickly!"

"……what?"

"What are you doing in a daze!" The reporter saw him in a daze. He didn't understand why this high school student, who had been very alert just now, suddenly became stupid and jumped in a hurry. "Quickly Go up! If your girlfriend gets hurt..."

"……my girlfriend?"

  Xu Xiangyang did not move, but his expression became even stranger.

   "Boom!"

  The next moment, there was a loud thunderous noise above their heads, and the whole building trembles, like a person shivering with fear.

  ... It seems that he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow to know if his girlfriend is angry or not.
