Invade the World

Chapter 32: Beyond human

  Chapter 32 Beyond Humans

  The afterglow of the setting sun paints the clouds at the end of the sky beautifully and magnificently, but surrenders the land of the city to the night.

  The crows hovering at low altitude in the distance screamed twice, adding a bit of desolation to the streets that no one passed by.

   Lin Xingjie stopped.

  For a moment, she felt as if someone was looking at her.

  The girl looked around suspiciously. The fork in the street leading to other places, telephone poles, street trees, under the fence...every place covered by the shadow of dusk, there seems to be something hiding there.

  But she knew very well that there was no one nearby.

  Lin Xingjie can "sniff" the scent of life, human scent, ordinary animal scent, and even strange scent...as long as Xiao An is summoned.

  But that line of sight is real. It does not come from any direction, the source head is a more distant place; but its existence is very close to itself.

  The most important thing is that this line of sight did not make Lin Xingjie feel dangerous. It contained curiosity, not malice.

  Lin Xingjie shook her head, no longer hesitating, the surrounding world was sucked in like the edge of a black hole—if anyone could see this, the light around the girl would be distorted like an illusion for a moment.

  When she decisively summoned the power from another world, the line of sight disappeared.

   Lin Xingjie is still adapting to her own strength.

Her "pets" are becoming larger and larger, and at the same time, the burden given to her will also become heavy, and sometimes even feel "out of control"; and if Xiao An needs to swallow prey, it will even consume more Physical strength.

  So, from summoning Xiao'an every time to using turbid, fluid-like substances that do not possess entities anytime and anywhere, she is constantly reducing her pressure and extending her control time in various ways.

  The girl let out a breath.

  Her eyes fell on the hospital in the distance.

   "Sure enough, it's there...I can smell it already."

   Lin Xingjie said to herself, the corners of her lips rose slightly unconsciously.

  *

  The Second People's Hospital of Jinjiang City, inpatient building.

  Hospital is a place to save lives and heal the wounded. It has played an indispensable role in social life since ancient times. But for ordinary people, it will not be a place that makes people feel comfortable.

The smell of disinfectant, the hurried footsteps of nurses and doctors, people sitting in wheelchairs or lying on stretchers, people lining up in front of the specialist clinic, the hall is always too noisy, day and night; and those who arrive inside In the hospital building, although the environment is a bit quieter, every night when you are lying on a white bed stained with yellow spots, you can always hear wailing and crying from nowhere... far away, it seems to be just your own illusion. .

  This is the boundary between life and death, where countless people who died have struggled.

  At this moment, the sky gradually darkened. The dim yellow street lights in the distance can only illuminate the road and the vehicles coming and going in and out of the hospital, but they can't illuminate the shadows of the trees.

  So, the incandescent lamps near the counter and stairs turned on, and only the corridor where the patient lived was still darkened.

  This is to take care of the sleeping environment of patients. Of course, the lights in the room can be lit.

  The walkway is deep, like an invisible round corridor. A figure wearing a hood walked out of the door of the safe passage and glanced warily at the surveillance camera above his head.

  He remained silent and walked forward against the wall, seeing a medical staff approaching and walking quietly to a nearby corner until the other person left.

In fact, he doesn’t have to hide, because he knows he’s not here to do bad things, but just wants to see the situation, and this point is not too many nurses who will pass through here; but in order to avoid causing trouble, he still subconsciously does not want to be People see.

  The Hooded Man soon arrived near the target ward.

  There were no lights in the room, and a few people stood outside the door, some sitting on plastic chairs, some standing. They chatted a few occasionally, most of the time they were silent, and the atmosphere was solemn.

  The hooded man stood in the blind spot of the group of people’s sight, with his back against the wall, listening carefully to their conversation.

  "I heard from the doctor that Mingjun might be...well, it’s hard, it’s really hard."

   "A good person, how can you..."

  The middle-aged woman couldn't talk about it halfway through, and let out a low sob.

   "Our family is quite healthy, not like a genetic disease."

  "Could it be...being beaten? Mingjun always mixes with those idlers. I have told him several times, but this kid didn’t listen. Maybe he was beaten..."

   "No....I can't say no, he suffered some skin injuries, but the doctor said it had nothing to do with his coma."

   "Then he was hit by a car, right? I heard that he passed out under an overpass."

   "No, the doctor said it was not a trauma."

  "Doctor, doctor, do you believe what the doctor says?"

   "Then what do you say?"

   "If you want me to say, I'll go to the temple and ask for a Bodhisattva first. I heard that the house in the east of the city is very spiritual... and your grandmother. Didn't she say that she knew a genius doctor in the mahjong museum?"

   "You believe what the old man said..."

   "Got to try!"

  The woman babbled, while the man beside her sighed and frowned.

  In contrast, a smile appeared on the corner of the figure under the hood.

   "Sure enough, only I can sustain myself...the two of them are all insane."

  He lowered his head and looked at his hand sticking out of his sleeve.

  Under the rough skin, you can vaguely see a few black silk threads that are different from ordinary people, beating like blood vessels.

  "Does this mean I was selected?"

he thinks.

  For him, this is not a question, but an answer, a confident and undoubted answer.

  Of course he was selected. If not, why is the end of his companions being possessed so miserable, and not only can he continue to stay awake, but he has even gained power beyond ordinary people?

  "It’s just a pity that I didn’t smell the same taste. According to my own thoughts," he pressed his abdomen, "If I can eat it, I might become stronger...Is it the first to be picked up by others?"

  He remembered what happened in school today.

  Since then, he has made it clear that there is more than one person in this world who possesses extraordinary abilities.

   Although a little disappointed, it was generally expected by him.

  He is still full of confidence in his future, but for the time being there is no way to act recklessly, but he needs to accumulate a little bit of strength in the dark.

  He glanced at the ward again, and made sure that he hadn't smelled the same kind of breath from there, only a lifelessness, he had no more nostalgia, and he turned and left without hesitation.

  In his mind, the idea of ​​"going to visit my friend" has never come to mind.

Because to him, Yan Mingjun is not a friend at all, he has never looked down upon that idiot; not to mention that now, he is already a superpower with surpassing mundane power and a bright future. Take it to heart.

  Now he doesn’t even need ordinary people to look at it...

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ran wildly.

  His speed is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people, and his posture is extremely strange: his hands are placed in front, his body is arched, and when he is running, he turns into four limbs, like a beast running on the grassland and hunting animals.

  In the surveillance camera, he looked like a phantom, starting from one end of the dim corridor, and quickly disappearing to the other end.

In front of    is a window wall made of floor-to-ceiling glass, the whole surface is transparent, and it shimmers in the night. The bottom is all locked, only the top two are opened for ventilation.

  He didn't stop, but with his momentum, he jumped directly onto the slippery tiled wall. At the same time, he kicked his feet and jumped up, leaped out of the window, and flew into the embrace of the moonlight.

  Without any exercises, the whole set of movements was completed in one go, relying on the amazing explosive power and reflection speed of the limbs. This is the change brought by the "worm" in the body that integrates with itself.

  He is spinning in the air, the breeze is blowing through his hair, the moonlight is falling on his face, time has slowed his pace, everything looks so beautiful... Is this the feeling of mastering superhuman power?

His mood was completely relaxed, full of joy and joy, as if his body was lightened up; he passed through the window and fell along the height of the three-story building, but still steadily, after landing on the meadow, he took the opportunity to move forward. roll-

  At this moment, he was taken aback suddenly.

   Just in the bushes ahead, a figure came out.

  The other party is leaning back against the moonlight and cannot see clearly. Only seeing the composure revealed in the unhurried pace, he quickly understood: the other party is coming for himself!

who is it? Are you the same person as me?

"Who are you?!"

  He screamed directly, and at the same time fell on all fours, staring at the other side alertly.

"I'm here to watch a monkey show." The other side replied while approaching him leisurely, "The action that just jumped out was good, I can give 10 points; now this one is also good on his stomach, even more if he can kneel. All right."

  This person’s voice came out from a distance, it sounded like a young woman, and it was very familiar...

   Before his brain turned completely, he heard the other person speak again.

   "Speaking of, Shi Hui, I just came from that direction. I heard that Yan Mingjun will become a vegetable in the future. As his friend, don't you feel sad at all?"

  "Do you know my name?! No, you are—"

  Because her tone was not the same as the cold feeling in the past, Shi Hui reacted until then.

   "It is obvious that everyone is possessed by monsters together. Some people can only lie in bed for the rest of their lives, but some people can jump and perform acrobatics here. I think this is really unfair."

  The long-haired girl who walked out of the dark, showing her white teeth, grinned at him.

   "—You are right?"
