Invade the World

  Chapter 327 Hand in hand, walk forward

  Time goes by minute by minute. In an environment where they held their breath and was so quiet that they could only hear each other's heartbeats, the two of them seemed to be in a small world isolated from this world.

  The scale of the senses is stretched a little bit, and the human mind and senses stop at the same time.

   Then, at this moment--

   Lin Xingjie heard footsteps.

  The sound of the feet falling was inaudible, passing by like a dragonfly; a pair of light-colored soft boots stepped on the wet bluestone pavement and appeared in her vision.

  In the case that no one noticed that they were nearby, someone appeared directly beside the young girl, a place close at hand.

  Lin Xingjie was shocked and raised her head subconsciously.

  So, the face that was so familiar that it could no longer be familiar was reflected in her pupils unexpectedly.

  The scattered moonlight enveloped the girl standing in the middle of the alley. The other party put his hands behind him, leaning forward as if looking curiously, smiling and looking down at the two people lying on the ground.

  The soft halo floats lightly like silk, contouring a slender figure.

  The girl bathing in the moonlight is very beautiful, and even has a sense of sacredness that makes people feel incredible and speechless. And the only thing that will spoil this atmosphere is the smile on that face--

  Sometimes Lin Xingjie feels a disgusting sly smile.

   "Really, I was so worried outside because I was afraid that something happened to the two of you, so I tried to hide from those guys and sneak in from other places..."

  Zhu Qingyue straightened her back. She tilted her head slightly and looked into the eyes of the long-haired girl. Her tone was more like ridicule than complaining.

"Did it turn out that I was bothering you two? Others are hunting, but the two of you as the target are hiding under their noses and hugging, nervous and exciting... Well, it's quite romantic to say that. ."

   Lin Xingjie was surprised for a moment. Although the other party's ridicule made her curl her lips, she felt "unwilling to talk", but the heart that had been tightly raised was still sincerely let go.

  I have completely lost control of my abilities. After waking up just now, she has been trying hard, wanting to re-release her abilities, but from the consciousness connected with the distant realm, she can only feel a piece of "emptiness", I am afraid she is temporarily useless; and Xu Xiangyang In order to avoid the two being noticed, they would rather endure the other's evil spirit power...

  In this case, all they can hope for is Zhu Qingyue—the most trustworthy female high school student in the world.

  After recovering, Lin Xingjie immediately sat up from the ground, and in turn, forcefully hugged the boy who had just been on her body into her arms.

   "Xiangyang, you... are you okay?"

  The long-haired girl held Xu Xiangyang’s head and tried to get closer to observe his situation. The two faces were almost close to the distance between the tip of the nose and the tip of the nose.

  Seeing her anxious reaction, the squad leader realized that something was wrong.

  She squatted down and noticed the face of the boy who was held in Lin Xingjie's arms-it was a sweaty, exhausted face.

  Xu Xiangyang closed his eyes tightly, as if waiting until Qingyue appeared, his consciousness finally collapsed, and he fell into a semi-conscious state. Even in this case, the boy's facial muscles were still twitching subconsciously, as if he was experiencing a deep nightmare.

  She reached out her hand and touched his forehead.

   "It's hot...Is this a high fever?"

  Zhu Qingyue is a little uneasy.

   "What's the matter? Is it because I was running around on a rainy day and caught a cold?"

  Just because of her self-willedness for a while, this young man willingly accompanies herself across most of the cities...

   "Xiangyang... Xiangyang, he is to protect me..."

  After hearing Lin Xingjie’s intermittent and choking description, Zhu Qingyue’s eyes were condensed. She raised her head and saw that in the dark night, the gleaming and fluorescent "spores" were falling like snowflakes.

  She tentatively stretched out her palm towards the spore. The moment she felt the effect of this psychic power, she immediately retracted her hand like an electric shock, her eyebrows wrinkled in pain.

  Zhu Qingyue stayed for a while before she came back to her senses. She looked at the sweaty face and sighed in a low voice:

   "It's a shame that he can hold it back..."

The long-haired girl lowered her head, just stroking his face with her hand, without answering a word, but Zhu Qingyue, who was squatting beside her, seemed to hear her voice: she was cherishing hope, calling the boy silently. name--

  Because for her, this kind of emotion is completely empathetic.

  The short-haired girl sighed and stood up on her knees.

   "Forget it, Xingjie, don't take it too seriously. Anyway, this guy is not so strong once or twice."

  Zhu Qingyue squinted her eyes and looked towards the end of the long street. It was shrouded in fog and night.

   "...It's okay. Let's leave here as soon as possible."

  Lin Xingjie nodded, holding Xu Xiangyang's arm, and struggling to support the boy's body from the ground.

  When she was in a coma before, Xu Xiangyang had been protecting him; now she woke up, but he was on the verge of collapse in the painful torture, so this time she should take care of him.

   "They are all around. If we move, we may be found."

   Lin Xingjie reminded in a low voice.

   "When I came here, I let the big flapping moth release a large-scale hallucination ability nearby..."

   "Can it work for them?"

   "There is no way to create an illusion that can confuse everyone. But if you count Xiangyang's psychic ability that can counter the Perception System psychics, it is still possible to cover a few of us from escape."

  Sir, the squad leader was talking, learning Xingjie's appearance, and gently stroked his palm with his face.

  ——So, Xu Xiangyang's left and right faces were simultaneously covered by the soft palms of the two girls.

  "Can you still continue?"

Zhu Qingyue asked softly.

   Lin Xingjie heard what she said, subconsciously wanted to stop by speaking, but quickly pursed her mouth, and resisted without speaking.

  Awakened by the cooling sensation from the girls' tender palms, the boy's eyebrows tangled for a while, then slowly opened his eyes.

  The cold sweat on Xu Xiangyang’s forehead is still flowing, sticky like glue, almost sticking his upper and lower eyelashes together.

  He didn't even have the strength to speak, he hung his head weakly, and nodded speechlessly.

   "Let's go... let's go now."

  Lin Xingjie said, taking a step forward.

  At this time, half of the boy's body weight fell on her, and her physical strength had not yet fully recovered, and the steps she stepped out suddenly staggered, obviously feeling exhausted.

Seeing this, Zhu Qingyue quickly hugged Xu Xiangyang's arm from the other side and supported the boy's weight with his friends.

  "Where are you going?"

   "I don't know. Anyway, leave this place first."

  "Xiangyang's situation is not very good, we need a place to rest..."

"Ok, I know."

  With the concerted efforts of the two girls, they were finally able to take Xu Xiangyang away together.

The group of guys are still searching house-to-house in the alley; the end of the alley is not too far away, and coupled with the invisibility ability released by Xu Xiangyang, it is no longer an unlikely behavior to escape their pursuit, and their emotions relax for a while. Come down.

   However, compared to Lin Xingjie, who didn't say a word, just silently helping the boy to go forward, Zhu Qingyue's eldest lady's temper was obviously not going to improve. Relying on the fact that others couldn't find out, she was muttering along the way.

   "Really, boys are not easy to pay attention to hygiene. They must be hugged to move forward, but they still make a stinky sweat..."

   "If you still say this at this time, you can bear it a little bit."

   "Hehe, it's actually not just him, Xingjie, you also smell of sweat? I can smell it all."

   "...you are really annoying."

  ……

  The moonlight is dim, and after the wind and rain, the air is still filled with moist water vapor. The tide of night was silent and silent, and the debris piled up in the corner of the pan was gone.

  In a dim alley, young people helped each other and walked forward slowly.

  Everything around is silent, cats and dogs are sleeping soundly in the den, and they can't even hear the worms. The only sound of each other's breathing is the sound of each other's breath and the slight noise of the soles of their shoes stepping through the pool.

  Under the feet is a bluestone pavement soaked in rain. Occasionally, I could catch a glimpse of the faint light like waves on the sea, flowing through the gaps between the stone slabs and the uneven surface.

Behind them is the alley shrouded by dark yellow street lights. The figure of Chuuchuo dangles from time to time on the wall, like a shadow puppet show, mixed with the whispered communication of chasers, like a scene in a nightmare; and now , This groggy world symbolizing restlessness is being left behind by them a little bit.

   Above the heads of the three people, there was a long and narrow blue sky, dim, starless and moonless; at the not-so-distant end, at the alley leading to the road, one could vaguely glimpse the light of the world.

  In the distance, where there is light, at the end of the city, there is a destination for young people.

  Xu Xiangyang was half-dreaming and half-awake, feeling like he was floating in the air like a ghost, moving forward slowly.

  His physical strength, together with willpower, were exhausted in less than ten minutes of pain and torment.

  In addition, he himself had tossed back and forth in the stormy city for most of the day...

  He is indeed very tired.

  However, after hearing Qingyue's request in the dim, he still tried his best to drain the last bit of strength in his body, trying to maintain the state of "invisibility" for the three at the same time.

  The consciousness extending from Xu Xiangyang's mind turned into a gentle wind, which enveloped the bodies of the three of them.

  The prying eyes from the rest of the existence, the secret sight, the invisible detection... everything will turn into flowing water in front of this gentle will, subconsciously ignoring their existence.

   "Ah, this feeling is..."

  Zhu Qingyue deliberately lowered her voice, becoming nothing but lingering in the ears of the two companions.

  ——Yes, this feeling is very familiar to them.

   Lin Xingjie did not respond, but unconsciously had the same thoughts as her in her mind. Soon, the two girls recalled what happened at that time.

   "I remember," Zhu Qingyue said.

  It was an experience shortly after young people officially became friends.

After the mid-term exam, Xingjie proved that her and Xu Xiangyang’s hard work was not in vain, and that she had embarked on a completely different path from the past; Zhu Qingyue had become friends with the two. Further eager to draw the relationship between each other, so that the three become more intimate.

  So, the squad leader took the initiative to invite them. This was also the first experience of the three of them going out to play together.

  In a large shopping mall that just opened, they encountered evil spirits lurking here. Xu Xiangyang accidentally developed a "stealth" ability that can shield perception, and enthusiastically tried it with them.

  In the afternoon of that day, the three people were just like they are now, holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, and marching toward the warehouse where the evil spirits are hidden in the unmanned corridor.

  At that time, young people were full of beautiful visions for the future, and everything around them seemed so brand new...

  The closeness under the same roof allowed Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie to form a deep relationship of trust; Zhu Qingyue, who was awakened, was recognized, and the three became partners who protected the same secret.

  Although it is inevitable to get along with some worries and stumbling, their feelings will gradually heat up in the process of getting to know each other.

  No one will doubt whether they will be together in the future; no one will regret the original decision.

  There are no complicated entanglements, no bitter choices, too fierce love and nostalgia, so fashionable and deeply buried, their relationship only stays at the level of "friends".

  The story that happened to them at that time was like a refreshing breeze in the heart, brushing away the loneliness and haze that young people felt in the past, so beautiful that they did not seem to be true.

  Everything is illuminated by the grand sun, and the world in their eyes is always shining.

  This period is so short that it is gone forever in the blink of an eye.

Today after undergoing various changes, the city’s season is no longer a sunny spring day, but a rainy autumn night; where they are, not a bright and clean department store, but a damp alley.

  She and her who were walking on this road suddenly felt the same as they did at that time.

   "It's like... as if he was being held in his arms."

   Lin Xingjie heard the mumbling of the girl beside her.

  The memories of that day are obviously so different from this moment, but they are so similar.

  Three people hold hands and walk forward.

  ……

  Surrounded by the two girls, Xu Xiangyang, who couldn't help but walked forward, gradually recovered himself.

  He barely opened his eyes.

  It is like waking up early in the morning, the curtains have not been closed, the bright sunshine in the morning generously illuminates every corner of the room, the person on the bed has not had time to open his eyes, but the eyes are full of light.

  ——The light is just ahead.
