Invade the World

  Chapter 265 Don't let go forever

  They did not leave this tube building immediately, because there were other things to do.

  Xu Xiangyang was the first to walk up the rooftops along the stairs, and saw Chen Hongying's bones still lying quietly.

   Covering it is a black cloth soaked in water.

  They left in a hurry just now, they just picked a piece of cloth from the house and covered it to avoid being spotted, but...definitely, she can’t just let her go.

  Even if there are few people coming up in this place, it is not a good thing to expose the dead here.

  "Dispose of the body first, and then report it?"

"Do you know?"

  Xu Xiangyang asked rhetorically.

   "...how can someone do it."

  The squad leader stared at him speechlessly.

   "That would be fine."

  Xu Xiangyang shrugged,

  "Sell someone to come."

After deciding what to do, they rushed downstairs again.

  Before Xu Xiangyang arrived at the corner of the stairs, he smelled the strong strange smell.

When they were about to chat with Zhao Le, the evil spirits entrenched in the sewer system of the building began to become restless. At that time Xingjie had a conversation with her and said that she didn’t want to control it anymore. What did the other party want to do? ...

"Snapped."

  Xu Xiangyang looked down and found that water had accumulated on the ground, and a large pool of shiny water stains gradually spread.

I raised my head and looked towards the corner of the ceiling. I could see sprays spraying from the gaps in the white plastic water pipes. Large clusters of sprays splashed on the walls and slowly gathered on the granite floor; and in the transparent water mist, You can see the squirming black hair interspersed in it.

  The largest water stain is in front of the door of Zhao Le's family. Some of it has already overflowed the low threshold and invaded inside; the people inside the door are naturally unaware of this.

  There is no doubt that this is a sign that the evil spirits are preparing to retaliate.

  When it really invades, the sewer pipe system in the kitchen and even the bathroom will surge with monster-like hair frenzy. Without anyone stopping it, the three people inside will never survive.

  The haunted house on the inner side of the wall-this means that the corners of the concrete structure that cover the entire building have been turned into a nest for the power of evil spirits, and its tentacles will spread to every household.

  Now that the whole incident has been revealed, it is of course impossible for them to sit idly by.

  Xu Xiangyang did not turn his head to look at Lin Xingjie’s joke, but surreptitiously looked at the expression of the girl next to him.

The long-haired girl pursed her mouth slightly, her black and bright eyeballs were rolling around. She looked like she was ready to go back, but she still couldn't let go of her face in front of her friends. When the evil spirit really appeared, she should Will stop it immediately.

  And the evil spirit can’t wait, it’s still in broad daylight, and it’s about to take action on the ex-boyfriend’s family soon——

  However, the fastest party is not Chen Hongying’s ghost, nor is it Lin Xingjie, who is ready to go.

   "Sorry, Xingjie promised you not to interfere, but I never promised."

The squad leader walked to the door and smiled and raised his hand to the water mark on the ground.

   "Just knock it back temporarily."

  Xu Xiangyang quickly reminded,

  "Leave the professional staff to handle the rest of the finishing work."

"I know."

  Zhu Qingyue nods slightly.

  They still don’t know the actual area of ​​this haunted house. According to the logic of action demonstrated by the evil spirit last time, after being dispelled, it will retreat to the lair and wait until it regains its strength before making a comeback;

  The evil spirit in the water tank is not a Type A evil spirit that can act independently. Once it leaves the influence of the "haunted house", its power will quickly dissipate, so it is not easy for the opponent to kill on a large scale.

   But if someone really shows the willingness to cut the grass and roots, who knows if the other party will go straight away?

  After all, the power of evil spirits is deeply entrenched in the dark side of the entire building. The lives of every resident in this building are equivalent to being under its control.

This is the problem. Xu Xiangyang feels that they are still high school students. No matter how powerful they are, as a non-governmental volunteer now, they may not be able to bear the risk of dozens or even hundreds of lives. Therefore, they eradicate the haunted house. Things still have to be done by others.

  "Can you use your "line"?"

   Lin Xingjie couldn't help asking.

"I think the appearance of this evil spirit is basically a hair-like creature, and then it seems to have some ability to control water, but its body seems to have been hidden elsewhere, and it is not the same as the type we have encountered before. Same……"

  Zhu Qingyue tilted her head and replied with a smile.

   "It seems okay."

   Lin Xingjie curled her lips.

  "When I didn’t say it. So, what exactly is the ‘line’ in your mouth? I really don’t understand it at all, I can’t even imagine it."

  Yes, can the line control the water? Can I catch hair through water? Can you keep catching the monster body in the lair along the hair? If so, what kind of thread is it?

  Even Xu Xiangyang’s psychic ability can’t see the “line” that the squad leader said. He can only infer its true appearance through the effect displayed on the side. It is a peculiar and mysterious ability.

   "I can do it anyway...but I'll just take it easy."

  She sighed, holding her cheek with a distressed expression.

  "Otherwise, I really don’t know where to keep it. Also, I hate long hair. It’s troublesome to clean up. It often gets tangled up and blocks the sewer pipes at all times."

"what……"

  Lin Xingjie opened her mouth in surprise next to her.

  "——I mean except Xingjie!"

  Zhu Qingyue noticed something was wrong, and quickly remedied it.

   "That's right." Xu Xiangyang, who is next to him, feels the same way. He has beautiful long hair and looks pleasing to the eye, but it is really troublesome to maintain.

   Even a girl like Lin Xingjie who is naturally beautiful and does not pay much attention to maintenance, still needs to work hard to keep her hair clean and fresh. It takes several hours after her hair is washed. Sometimes, he even gets out of the toilet.

  The sewer pipes in the place where he lives are also easy to be blocked, and once they are blocked, he has to be the only boy in the family to get started, so I can fully understand...

   "You are so annoying."

  But before Xu Xiangyang had time to talk about it, he was kicked by his angry girlfriend.

  "You find it troublesome, so I should cut my hair short now?"

   she threatened.

  "Don't don't don't, I'm kidding!" Now it is Xu Xiangyang's turn for the person who hastily remedied, "Uh, in order to appreciate your long hair, these are all reasonable efforts, I have no complaints at all."

"Yes, that's right. For Xiangyang, it's boring for both of us to have short hair." The squad leader smiled and arched fire beside him. Only when you feel comfortable."

   "I didn't mean that--"

His girlfriend's eyes were firmly nailed to his back, and the emotions clearly contained in him were cold, but it was full of scorching sensation as if it was burning. Xu Xiangyang felt that the clothes on his back had been pierced twice and couldn't help but hit him. A shudder, pretending to inadvertently explain aloud:

   "My thoughts are what you want, like long hair and short hair, or perm and dye your hair, it's all your freedom..."

   "So, do you accept shaved head?"

  Xu Xiangyang choked suddenly.

"Ah."

  Lin Xingjie sneered with her arms in her arms, with an expression of "I have seen you through".

   "Of course I accept. I believe you, Xingjie." He said sincerely, "You look pretty even if you shave your short hair. It's like... uh, like the nun in Swordsman's Rivers and Lakes."

  "Who wants to be a nun..."

   "Look! This guy is going to do it! We must stop it!"

When the three people were chatting, the evil spirits would naturally not be idle enough to eavesdrop on the side. Black hair rushed out of the pipe crazily and flowed to the ground to build a dark human form-no appearance, only young women. Standing straight in front of the door, like a visitor about to knock on the door.

  Faced with this weird scene, Xu Xiangyang seemed to have seized the opportunity to change the subject, shouted immediately, and at the same time used his abilities intently.

  ...In the end, it was not Lin Xingjie or Zhu Qingyue who did it, but him.

  *

   "I'm going to the management office to tell them about the evil spirit haunted house and the case of Chen Hongying's death."

  After they walked out of the tube building, the matter was over. The family in the door may not have realized what happened.

   Lin Xingjie said to them.

   "Well. I will sort out the content of my channeling as a record. You can hand it in for me by the way. It should not be misunderstood."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded.

"It's really bad to throw corpses like two teachers to conceal it, but it is excusable. They are getting older and should not be punished too severely... The most important thing is that Zhao Le is now an adult. Now it’s not his parents who need to take care and worry about him, but it’s his turn to take on family responsibilities."

  He turned his head and looked at the tube building, bathed in bright sunlight, surrounded by emerald creepers on the outside of the wall.

   "I believe they will be fine."

  ……

  It should not be too late. This afternoon, after finishing the written materials, they went to the management office together. Lin Xingjie filled out the file as a representative and accepted inquiries.

  Non-governmental volunteers report news about haunted houses and evil spirits. Of course, it is not rare, but it still needs to be taken seriously.

  Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue, who were strolling around and resting outside, saw several off-road vehicles with a license plate before Xingjie came out of the inside. Looking at the direction they headed, the target should be the tube building.

  Considering that there are still a large number of residents living in that tube building, unlike Song Deshou’s abandoned house, things should be resolved soon.

  When Lin Xingjie returned to them, her head was slightly lowered, and her long hair fell down to cover the girl's face. She directly pressed her face to Xu Xiangyang's chest, and immediately opened her arms to hug her boyfriend's waist.

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback for a moment, without hesitation, but moved a little cautiously, and in turn grabbed her.

  His gaze looked forward and found that the squad leader was staring at him with a calm expression and could not see her inner emotions.

  When Lin Xingjie came out, she didn’t even say hello, she hugged him over, indicating that she had something to say to herself, but now...

   "Hey, hold on, I won't be a light bulb here."

  Zhu Qingyue waved at them, turned and left.

  She did not seem to be disappointed in her appearance, but she was obviously three people, and finally went back alone, which seemed a bit lonely.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that his eyes were a little sore, he couldn't help blinking hard, and then took a deep breath.

  At this moment, he once again made a decision——

"Sorry."

  He heard Lin Xingjie’s head lying on his chest talking without lifting his head.

  Because Xu Xiangyang was thinking about other things just now, Xu Xiangyang almost uttered the words "I should be sorry to say". He was so suspended before he stopped the car, and asked in a soft voice:

   "What's wrong, why should I apologize?"

   "Because I made a wrong judgment."

   Lin Xingjie’s voice is muffled, it sounds a little cute.

"I clearly said that I must make the right choice... But I still became very impulsive in the middle of the journey. I felt like I couldn't control myself if I turned my head on. If you were not there and I was the only one, the ending would be just fine. It won’t be so good...I might just follow my temper and play idiots before I figure out the truth."

   "So you are not alone."

  Xu Xiangyang thinks her reaction is very interesting, but this kind of frankness is what attracts herself the most in girls nowadays, he smiled and stroked her long hair.

"With our help, you can make the right choice. Isn't it a good idea from the beginning? A person is always easy to make mistakes, so friends and companions are so important. Now things have ended successfully, this is not all Is it a good thing?"

   "But I don't think I can always rely on you or Qingyue."

"Why?"

  "You still ask me why..."

  Xu Xiangyang felt that his flanks were twisted hard.

   "Because I have always worked hard as you said."

"……what."

   Xu Xiangyang only then reacted. Are you talking about what you said on the day of the confession?

   "But if it’s just for me—"

  He hesitated a little.

"no."

   Even without looking down, Xu Xiangyang can feel the girl shaking her head desperately.

"In the beginning it was really for your words to try, but now I feel this from my heart: I really need to work hard. Whether it is to improve my grades, make friends in school, or like now This is the ability to deal with incidents and judge the situation alone."

   "You have done a good job, I can see it all... You have done better than me, and you have to work harder than everyone else."

   "I know... I know I am making progress, and I understand this kind of thing, but—"

  The girl in her arms seemed to talk too hastily and too quickly, so she choked quietly in the middle. She sniffed and continued.

"I'm just a little too impatient. The summer vacation is coming to an end and the third year of high school is about to come. We will be adults soon. Maybe in the blink of an eye, everyone will become adults... I don't know how long we can live together. , How long will you be able to stay with me at all times to help me like this...there is too little time, I still want to work hard, and I want to be better and more independent."

   "——Because only in this way can I be worthy of you."

  Xu Xiangyang's heart trembled.

  He just wanted to speak, only to realize that he didn't know what to say.

  Encourage? Support? Against? Stop it? Say you don't deserve her? Obviously, his mind was filled with countless thoughts, but when the moment came, he couldn't say a single beautiful thing.

  He realized that this was Lin Xingjie’s determination, her heartfelt words, and in the face of such fierce and turbulent feelings, any of his words would only appear shallow.

  So, Xu Xiangyang just asked in a low voice:

"What can I do for you?"

   "You don't need anything, just hold me like this occasionally." She whispered, "Sometimes I feel tired, and I want to lie in your arms for a while and let you listen to me..."

"good."

  Xu Xiangyang's arm forcefully hugged the most precious treasure in life.

  He hopes not to let go for the rest of his life.
