Invade the World

  Chapter 255 There are weird everywhere

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly woke up in his sleep.

  This feeling is like an electric shock, a stimulus that spreads rapidly from the root of the spine up, not very strong, but it is enough to wake people up.

  He immediately opened the quilt, stood up, and let out a breath at the same time.

  ...No way, it's too hot. The air brewing in the cramped house is muggy and hot, and the dampness can hardly be dissipated by the night wind. Xu Xiangyang suspected that even if he was not awakened by the warning of his psychic ability, he might be awakened by the difficult temperature in the second half of the night.

Xu Xiangyang threw the quilt aside, left the room with a shirtless stride, and opened the doors and windows. He stood in the middle of the roof and waited for a long time before waiting for a rare night breeze to blow over the city, dissipating the heat on his body, and the sweat on his body. The evaporation.

  He turned around and found that the squad leader was standing behind him, looking at him with his hands on his back and smiling, as if waiting for him.

  Xu Xiangyang's gaze swept over her shoulder, looking into the room behind. Lin Xingjie just got up from the bed, stretched and rubbed her eyes and yawned.

   "... Qingyue? You got up so early today."

  He turned his gaze back to the face of the squad leader.

   "What time is it now?"

   "Two o'clock in the morning."

  Zhu Qingyue raised the watch on her wrist.

  "Doesn’t I feel sleepy at this point?"

"No, I slept very well. It is rare to rest for a while in an undisturbed environment." The squad leader replied softly, "Under normal circumstances, I am a type of person who is easily awakened. A little wind blows. If you move early, you will wake up. I didn’t expect to sleep soundly today, I think it’s the blessing of both of you."

  Xu Xiangyang was silent for a while, not knowing how to answer.

   "Isn't it hot inside?"

   he asked again.

   "I just said that, Xingjie sleeping next to me hugs it to be cool, I am not hot at all." Zhu Qingyue smiled and shook her head. "Especially the arm, the hand feels as cool as touching jade, don't you think I'm joking?"

  Xu Xiangyang opened his mouth wide.

   "Some people are born with a lower temperature, cold-blooded animals like snakes..."

   Fortunately, he doesn’t need to be envious, he thought, because as a boyfriend, he must have a chance to enjoy it, otherwise it would be a shame.

   "Hey, I'm right here, don't say bad things."

  Lin Xingjie sorted out her long sleepy hair—some strands of hair turned up playfully, and she pressed it down with her fingers—and walked out of the room yawning.

   "Where do I have?"

  The squad leader took the initiative to open his arms and walked forward affectionately and took his friend's arm.

   "Everyone compares others to snakes."

   Lin Xingjie curled her lips.

   "If you are a snake, you are also a beautiful snake."

  Zhu Qingyue said the speaker was unintentional, but Xu Xiangyang was the listener's intention.

  He still remembers the spring dream he had done the night when he came back from the sports meeting, and he still remembers the scenes in the dream...

   Then, he saw the eyes of the two girls looking at him at the same time, the two beautiful eyes gleaming in the night, even if they were just some dirty thoughts that lingered in his mind, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but feel a little vain.

  "Stop chatting."

  Xu Xiangyang gave a dry cough and said to the two girls who were talking and laughing.

   "Let’s go see the situation."

  ……

   "I just felt signs of evil movement. It should be downstairs."

  They would spend the whole night on the rooftop like this. It was originally just a stopgap measure, but they didn’t expect to encounter situations.

  "Does this have anything to do with us?"

  As he walked down the narrow and dark staircase, the squad leader spoke softly.

   "Why ask like this..."

  Xu Xiangyang's question was halfway through, and he realized it by himself. He touched his chin thoughtfully.

  Yes, the question is: if this evil spirit has been lurking in the building for a long time, why did you start doing it this evening?

  Judging from the attack on the elderly from the sewers this evening, the evil spirits do not seem to be a type that lacks aggressiveness. If Zhu Qingyue hadn't stopped it at that time, the outcome would be unthinkable; but the two old people, including the other residents in this building, hadn't noticed the abnormality, which means that the other party didn't intend to make a move to hurt people before that?

   "Did we come and activate the other party?"

"It's not impossible. This house was originally an ordinary person, but now it has invaded three psychics and psychics. The evil spirits may have sensed this threat and felt that we were aiming at it. Yes, so I became agitated."

   Lin Xingjie speculated.

   "It's like a beast guarding its own territory."

   "It makes sense." Xu Xiangyang nodded in agreement, and at the same time stopped at the entrance of the corridor, closed his eyes and waited quietly. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "...It's almost there."

  The place where the evil spirit appeared was still at the highest level.

  As soon as Xu Xiangyang stepped out of the corridor, he heard a "bang!" in the darkness not far away with his fingers out of sight, like a firecracker explosion, but even more dull, followed by the sound of water jets.

The rusty water pipe beside the wall suddenly broke as if it was overwhelmed, and the fracture seemed to be broken by a huge force. The water sprayed from inside was like a waterfall, spraying everywhere, quickly drenching the wall. And floor.

  Xu Xiangyang took out the flashlight from his pocket and shot it forward.

  The bright yellow beam of light penetrated the night, and with the movement of the hand, it dropped elliptical light spots one after another on this long corridor. It can't be photographed any farther away, only a faint dullness is left.

  Among the pool of wet water stains illuminated by the flashlight, Xu Xiangyang squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. He could see a lot of black silk threads twisting his slender body like worms, looking strange and disgusting...

  He quickly realized that these objects that seem to have life and self-will are nothing but human hair.

Lin Xingjie next to    stepped directly on it. The slender worm-like hair quickly clung to the soles of the shoes, winding up the laces of the white sneakers.

  However, at this moment a gloomy water surface appeared under her feet, and a turbid current surging under the water surface.

  The turbulent waves swallowed the squirming hair in an instant, swallowing them up easily.

  The “tide water” from another world did not stop there, it expanded and spread rapidly, covering the entire corridor in front, like a quiet pond.

  Xu Xiangyang heard the noisy noise coming from the inside of the water pipe, and it quickly turned into a screaming woman scream.

  The worm-like hair surviving in the corridor seemed to escape the flood, and all the brains rushed to the clean high ground-that was the window sills and ceilings in the corridor-and gathered again where they were not covered by the turbid current pond.

  A thin and dark figure twisted into shape, taking the ceiling as a foothold, hanging down from head to foot, and reaching out to the door of the room in front of him.

  However, this is under the gaze of the three, and its attempt is obviously impossible to succeed. The human-faced spider that had been lurking aside for a long time quickly rushed up from the nearby floor, swiftly crossed the "pond" in the corridor, and also hung upside down from the ceiling with appendages as support, exposing the grinning grinning face, and bit it.

   "——!!!"

  The sharp roar sounded again.

  Xu Xiangyang even heard the faint electric noise of "Prick Lala——", but I don't know where it came from. This house has been in disrepair for a long time, and the power of evil spirits often has the side effect of interference with radio waves.

  He pulled the hands of the two girls backwards, after all, there were still water marks on the ground.

The lacquered black shadow whose body was bitten off by the human-faced spider still wanted to continue struggling. Half of its body was squirming and growing crazily, and the arms made of woven hair once again tried to extend towards the door as far as possible, but was furiously furious. The human face spider smashed to pieces.

  The figure fell from the ceiling under the impact of huge force, and flew towards the sky outside the corridor. There were fluttering debris along the way, which were all the hair that made up its torso.

  Lin Xingjie walked to the side of the railing and took a look down, then the whole person directly climbed onto the wall and stood directly on it.

  ——She took a step towards the empty place.

  The turbid current overflowed from the corridor, forming a staircase under her feet. Lin Xingjie went on like this step by step.

  If seen by ordinary people, this scene will become a girl with long hair and fluttering hair, Ling Xu Yukong, stepping down the invisible stairs under the moonlight, which is simply too cool.

  ... In fact, even in Xu Xiangyang's eyes, he also thinks this is cool. But I have to admit that the moment he saw her stepping out of the armrest without any foreign objects, even though rationally knowing that the girl would be fine, his heart twitched violently.

  Different from his girlfriend who is used to bungee jumping and gliding above the night sky in the city, he is still an ordinary person who needs to run down the stairs.

  Xu Xiangyang simply couldn't go down anymore, lying on the stairs and looking down.

  I saw Lin Xingjie who fell on the meadow raised his palm, and a huge and ferocious head was exposed in the vortex formed by the turbid current.

   "Go!"

  The whale opened its big mouth and bit towards the grass.

  She can’t wait to do it.

  Furthermore, she still asked Xiao An to deal with a broken evil spirit, somewhat "killing a chicken with a sledgehammer", which shows her determination.

  Because the two old people had helped her object at age, she felt so angry.

  Just as he thought so, the squad leader next to him suddenly said.

  She put her hands on her mouth in a trumpet shape, and yelled downstairs:

  "——Wait! Xingjie, do you want to think about it again?"

  *

  When Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue walked down the stairs, they saw Lin Xingjie leaning against the pillars of the patio to rest.

  There are beads of sweat on her forehead, but her breathing is fairly steady.

  The physical energy consumed by summoning Xiaoan is closely related to the scale of interference in reality. It obviously does not require much effort to clean up a badly injured broken evil spirit.

  Lin Xingjie put her arms around her chest, and when she saw the squad leader approaching, she opened the door and asked:

   "Why did you stop me just now?"

   "Is it useful to say it?" Zhu Qingyue vomited, "Don't you still do it? I haven't had time to finish."

  "Because you said it too late." The Rapunzel didn't blink her eyes when she replied, "Wandering in front of dangerous evil spirits that can hurt people, or holding the merciful hesitating mentality of her subordinates are not good choices."

"well said."

  Zhu Qingyue sighed, but did not refute.

  "This is not an answer." Lin Xingjie said, "You just had other reasons, did you find out what was wrong?"

"Ok."

The squad leader nodded and took out a paper ball from his pocket.

   "I just found out in that room. It was the tenant who wanted to come. Do you remember what Teacher Sun said at the time?"

   "Before Xingjie, did anyone else live in this place?"-This is Xu Xiangyang's question. At that time, the old lady replied like this:

   "Lived. I used to be a woman who came to work in other places. That's an adult. I remember she was in her thirties."

After Zhu Qingyue reminded this sentence, they all got the impression and nodded one after another.

  So, she spread out the paper ball in her hand.

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie leaned over and found that it was an examination paper with only the corners torn off. It can be recognized as the test paper, because this part happens to be the title, including the name, school, and date.

  "It's a person from the 15th Middle School."

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head in surprise.

   "It's a coincidence."

   "Chen Hongying...Have you heard of this person?"

  The three people looked at each other. They don't seem to know each other.

   "That shouldn't be from our grade."

   "I think she is no longer in school. Look," Xu Xiangyang pointed at the title, "The first mock exam in the spring of 199x...This is the test paper a few years ago."

   "In other words, it is our senior sister." Zhu Qingyue laughed, "That is really predestined, especially Xingjie. You both have lived in this room, and you are the only two of you."

"The problem is," Xu Xiangyang shook his head slightly, "Why is Teacher Sun hiding from us? Maybe she has a bad memory when she is older, but there are only two tenants in this place. Even if you don't remember the name, you shouldn't be mistaken in age. This Senior Sister Chen Hongying should be about the same age as Xingjie back then."

   "When I came, the room was already cleaned up, and there is no sign of anyone living in it," Lin Xingjie said, "I didn't expect such a torn piece of paper to stay."

The squad leader raised his face and asked with interest:

   "Don't you look surprised?"

  After she was silent for a moment, she answered softly.

  "Did you hear the two old people talking about their children?"

   "Well, although I haven't mentioned a few words." Xu Xiangyang nodded, "Didn't it mean that they all work in the field?"

   "Yeah... ‘them’."

   Lin Xingjie blinked.

  "But I have observed the family portrait on their wall. Except for the couple, there is always only one boy in the photo, and that is probably their son."

  "——So, until I talked to them about this aspect, I always thought it was an ‘only-child family’ and there were no ‘children’.”
