Invade the World

  Chapter 31 Telepathy

  Classmate Zhu Qingyue looked quite worried, and checked with him several times, and then left after confirming that his physical condition was really okay.

  Xu Xiangyang watched her walk away all the way, and realized that he was in a cold sweat.

  Is this my "ability"...?

  This was the first thought that came to his mind.

  He and Lin Xingjie once jokingly talked about this topic. He also imagined his own ability to be stimulated, but he never thought that this conjecture would become a reality so quickly.

  Xu Xiangyang once again clearly realized that the house really changed everyone who entered it.

However, unlike Lin Xingjie, he did not find any monsters from the "other world" around him. Instead, he used Shi Hui's broken teeth as a medium to "saw" him and his companions in the haunted house. The weird experience.

In short, it is to touch the objects left by others, thereby perceive the other's existence, read what has happened to that person...Xu Xiangyang realized that what he did just now is actually more like in the traditional sense. superpower.

  Xu Xiangyang’s favorite to read in the past was books such as "The Record of UFO Incidents" or "Unsolved Mysteries of the World", many of which mentioned superpowers. Since the rise of human science, various rumors about superpowers have emerged around the world, and there has even been a wave of research on superpowers at the national level.

  For children of Xu Xiangyang's age, the Qigong fever that has swept across the country has not passed for too long.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that his previous experience was very similar to the “telepathy” mentioned in the book, or the legendary “psychic”.

  Similar examples are very common. They often happen to parents and children thousands of miles apart, or twins. For example, one of the parties was seriously injured in an accident, and the other party would accidentally cut his finger at the same time, or have difficulty breathing.

  This kind of ability does not seem to be able to be used in frontal combat, and it may not be as impressive as Lin Xingjie.

  But before being disappointed, Xu Xiangyang remembered the scene he had seen in the haunted house, and he couldn't help but shiver. In any case, he is better than the three hapless possessed.

  He doesn't care much about what happened to Shi Hui and others. The guy who deserves the crime is not worthy of sympathy. But the pictures read from Shi Hui's memory have proved several previous speculations: For example, the worms were indeed released by the ghost of the old man.

  This means that the ghost appeared in the alley last night. It was not an accidental incident. It was directed at the two of Xu Xiangyang! Perhaps it is because they are not possessed by the worms, so the ghosts entrenched in the murder house will take their own hands.

  The crisis they are facing has not been resolved. In this case, if you use this ability to obtain intelligence, you can seize the opportunity for the two people's actions and provide a lot of convenience.

   "So, let's go home first today."

  Xu Xiangyang is naturally not in the mood to study hard with the fifth class leader. He just wants to go home early and try his new abilities; and most importantly—

   is to tell this news to his best friend.

  *

  Sister still did not return home.

  What she revealed in the call that day was that the police were busy with a major case recently, and it is uncertain when it will end.

  Lin Xingjie is not here now, she went home. If you want to tell her the good news, you can only wait for her to come, or tell her until tomorrow.

  Xu Xiangyang doesn’t feel lonely alone, after all, he still has things to do. He happily put down his schoolbag, even set aside his homework for the first time, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to make a plan.

  That tooth can only provide this level of information. He wants to find a way to test his abilities on others and other things, determine its scope of application and effective mechanism, and so on.

  Moreover, the potential of this ability should be more than that. because…

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a while, stood up again, and ran back to his room.

  He pulled out a stack of neatly folded books **** with plastic rope from the bottom of the bed. They were all his favorite free books when he was a child, so he found a few books and started to read them.

   "Well, that's it... Telepathy is a very complicated category in parapsychology..."

  He muttered to himself.

  It also says that there is a kind of ability called "reading and writing", which is the ability to display information related to the instructed object on a carrier such as water, paper, or TV screen. It is said that scientists from neighboring countries have done experiments several decades ago and they have also succeeded;

  There is also an ability called "remote sensing", which can clearly grasp the geographical environment and humanities near a designated place beyond a long distance, even so clearly that you can see every plant and tree. During the Cold War, it is said that both camps had specially trained soldiers with this kind of North Korean ability to use them in the war...

  All the above are written in the book. Xu Xiangyang was fascinated for a while when he was a child. When he grew up, he knew that he was just spreading out the reading materials seriously and could only be used to pass the time.

  But the things he could only yearn for in the past, now, they all have the possibility—

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head, gathering his mind.

  The science teacher in the first year of high school said that only the result of an experiment is likely to be accidental, and a conclusion can be drawn only after excluding external factors and repeated attempts.

  So, first try other goals.

   After Xu Xiangyang made a decision, he quickly ran to his sister's room.

  My sister’s room is as clean and simple as ever, and personal items are scarce at a glance. All the necessities of life were taken away, and it didn't look like a girl's room at all.

  You can try the quilt pillow, he thought, but Lin Xingjie covered it yesterday, will there be an "overlapping" situation?

  Xu Xiangyang changed his mind and opened the closet.

  There are only two coats that my sister put inside: police uniforms and black suits, all of which are neatly hung there.

  This scene in the closet is hard to imagine for a young woman. Xu Xiangyang was not surprised, he took off one of them and put it on the bed.

   "Okay, let me see what my sister is doing!"

  Xu Xiangyang stretched out his wrists and moved his neck, moved his body, and at the same time stared at the target object with unblinking eyes; then, he stretched out his palms toward the clothes on the bed and took a deep breath—

   "Hoop!"

  He shouted.

  ...Nothing happens.

  Xu Xiangyang was a little confused, so he simply changed to a turtle-style qigong posture.

   "Huha!"

   Still no response.

  He scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed.

  If someone else is present, you will definitely feel that he is getting nervous.

  Xu Xiangyang tried another set of clothes, but the result was the same.

   "Well, is it because you don't wear it often?"

  He ran to the table and took a pen from the pen holder. This is a commemorative fountain pen that is often carried by her sister. Moreover, it has been used for a long time, and it is the closest "item".

  Xu Xiangyang faced the pen on the bed and repeated the action just now, and the result was the same.

  He couldn't help but frown.

  Don’t say that it’s not just a used “item”, it must be an organ part of the body?

  So, Xu Xiangyang took out a set of clothes, even brought a magnifying glass, carefully searched for it, and finally found a long hair belonging to her sister on the neckline of one of them.

  Xu Xiangyang stood by the bed pretending to cast spells for a long time.

   "... Hmm, there is still no response. It's weird."

  Theoretically, if the teeth are okay, the hair is unreasonable.

  On the one hand, the volume on both sides is not large. There is genetic material in the tooth, but the hair also has it; the main component of hair is protein, and the base has living cells and genetic material. Because of this, whether the victim and the murderer's hair can be found at the scene is very important for the police to solve the case. For the same reason, there are nails and so on.

  On the other hand, from a more mysterious and less “scientific” point of view... Xu Xiangyang has heard before that some primitive witch doctors and wizards of primitive tribes in remote areas use teeth as a medium for casting spells.

   According to this statement, hair is obviously more representative than teeth. In ancient times, the folk technique used to put hair into straw men made of straw to curse others is the so-called "grass man"-and there is far more than one country with this tradition.

  Is there something wrong with the object?

  Compared to her sister, Shi Hui may possess a certain speciality, and it is self-evident where this speciality originated. If so, then—

  Xu Xiangyang's eyes patrolled the bedroom again.

  Unfortunately, Lin Xingjie left no personal belongings.

   By the way, he suddenly remembered something and hurried to the bathroom.

   "...the band-aid, it really is here."

  Xu Xiangyang saw a torn band-aid on the side of the dressing table.

  When he got up this morning, he didn't see the sticker on Lin Xingjie's face, so he asked casually. At that time, the girl replied with a grateful expression on her face: Fortunately, there were no scars on her face.

   "I feel like my behavior is a bit perverted."

  When he picked up the band-aid, Xu Xiangyang thought to himself.

  But at this moment, his heart moved slightly.

  The feeling when he picked up Shi Hui's teeth came to mind again.

  ...Sure enough.

  Xu Xiangyang no longer hesitated, his eyes closed slightly.

  *

When    opened his eyes again, he found that he was walking unhurriedly on a long and cramped street.

  The image is blurry and dim, as if in a dream, just like Shi Hui was back then.

  Are you seeing her now, or is she now?

  Xu Xiangyang blinked. He couldn't twist his neck or roll his eyes, but could only snoop through the "third person" field of vision.

  He watched calmly for a while, and found that there was no band-aid on his face, and he was still wearing a school uniform. so…

  Xu Xiangyang was overjoyed, his ability is not only used to observe the past, but also to see the present!

  But he soon felt something was wrong.

  Where did Lin Xingjie go? Xu Xiangyang thought, shouldn't she be at home now?

  At this time, he found his friend was raising his head.

  In the dim vision, in the distance stood a square building with dense windows.

  There is a small cross at the top of the building.

  The setting sun is sinking, and the afterglow of the dusk can hardly illuminate the gloomy sky, and a group of crows are flying above the street.

  That is a hospital.

  Xu Xiangyang recognized it. It was the Second People's Hospital of Jinjiang City, a few blocks away.

  After that, he heard a soft "Huh?"

  Click.

  It was like someone had pressed a switch on the screen, and the image in front of Xu Xiangyang disappeared in an instant.
