Invade the World

   Chapter 400 Reunion on that beach

   "Next, the last one."

  Lin Mingyuan sighed, muttering to himself with unprecedented exhaustion, and cold sweat on his forehead.

   His work was drawing to a close, but there was no joy of accomplishment on his face; on the contrary, his tone was becoming more grim and grim. This attitude proves that what he is doing is not just torturing his opponent, but a kind of self-torture.

   "...You will treat your current wishes as your life's work, and you won't give up until you die. However, when you really die, this ability will be lifted, and then you will know the truth."

Because death and brainwashing happened at the same moment, which meant that Meng Zheng couldn't do anything at that time. He could only die in remorse and emptiness. To be able to come up with such a way to kill people, Uncle Lin was really not ordinary. people.

  Lin Mingyuan put down his hand.

   "That's enough, if you add more memory, it may lead to emotional confusion, and there may be contradictions and conflicts between false beliefs."

   "I originally thought about whether I need to use Meng Zheng in a deeper way, such as letting him 'protect' or 'take care' of my daughter."

   "But this memory doesn't match his nature. If the question of 'why should I take care of a little girl or a pair of orphans and widows' arises in the process, there will be a flaw."

   "Besides, I didn't want him to get too close to Xingjie, because he was a threat in his own right."

   At this point, the words are all finished.

  Lin Mingyuan doesn't seem to be in the mood to continue explaining. He silently leaned his back against the chair, crossed his hands on the armrests, and stared at the corner of the room, not knowing what he was observing...

   Maybe nothing.

   Meng is lying on the ground quietly. When he wakes up, he will become a puppet that acts according to subconscious orders, but is unaware of his own destiny.

   At least, Xu Xiangyang from the future knows the final result: the evil spirit planted by Lin Mingyuan did lurk until the moment before his death.

   "Are there any other questions?" the man asked in the dark, "Is there something I missed? You from the future should know better than me."

  Xu Xiangyang remained silent. After a while, he shook his head.

  Limited by ability and situation, Lin Mingyuan has done his best in the size that he can do.

   "...I didn't ask that question just now. To be honest, I don't want the future to change because of others, so I don't even want to know what happened in the future."

   The man tapped on the armrest and sighed deeply.

   "But looking at your expression, I can guess something. It seems that after I left, their mothers were not happy."

   "The original family of three, but the mainstay of the husband suddenly disappeared, leaving a pair of orphans and widow mothers, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to be happy." Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but said.

   "Yeah, you're right."

   "Then why do you want to..."

"Why are you leaving? Of course it's because there are still things that have to be done." The man raised his arms from the arm of the chair, signaling that he didn't want to hear any more. You and her."

"I?"

  Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment.

   "Yes, you. You and my daughter." Lin Mingyuan's voice was still full of exhaustion, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. When he mentioned this, the man's tone clearly rose.

"I remember very clearly how you promised me at that time, let me recall... You seem to have said this: 'I will make her happy. As long as she is willing to stay by my side, I will never let go open her hand'..."

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help blushing when he heard this.

   He didn't feel it when he said it himself, and he didn't expect to hear it from someone else's mouth would be so numb.

   "I hope you can keep your word."

"certainly!"

   Ashamed is ashamed, and he will not back down when it comes to this issue.

   Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strange shudder, a feeling that had appeared before...

  The dream is on the verge of shattering, and the gravitational force that pulled him back from the past reappeared!

   The figure of the ghost boy in front of him suddenly trembled, and the outline became blurred.

   Lin Mingyuan was not surprised, just asked:

   "Are you leaving again?"

"Um."

   "You left for more than half a month before. My daughter was worried, and it took a long time to accept this fact."

  “…”

   "I know, this is impossible, you can't stay in this place for a long time. The time you met her is ten years later."

"……Yes."

   "If so, you shouldn't be here any longer."

   Lin Mingyuan's tone was calm.

   "Go, you still have the last person you should see, and have something to tell her?"

   "I know. Then...bye."

  The time is short, and he may be pulled away at any time, so Xu Xiangyang turned away without being pretentious.

"See you."

  Xu Xiangyang didn't hear Lin Mingyuan's last words. He floated out of the window and glanced back at the room deeply, knowing that this was the last time he and Lin Mingyuan met, and it would be the only time in his life.

   Since then, Lin Ming has not only disappeared in front of his family, in fact, he has never appeared in front of the world again.

  Xu Xiangyang had a vague guess about what this man was going to do next, but it was this guess that made his heart heavy, and he just thought that Lin Mingyuan's ending might not be too good.

   Fighting against a world-class psychic group with a divine medium as the leader sounds more like a dream.

   But whether he really disappeared in the end, or something worse, it was obviously in the man's expectation. So, no one can stop him from making such a decision.

After   , he flew into the distance without looking back.

  *

   "Mom...Dad..."

   The girl lying on the bed was motionless, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were closed, as if she was having a nightmare that she couldn't wake up from.

  Lin Suya worriedly stretched out her hand to stroke Xingjie's forehead, there was no sign of heat, but her daughter's painful appearance was definitely not a fake...

   "I'll go get you a cup of hot water and come back."

  Lin Suya sighed and got up to go downstairs.

   Just the night before, at two o'clock in the morning, my husband, who had been sleeping in a separate room for half a month, suddenly and violently slammed into the door, saying that he was going to send her to the city.

  Lin Suya was confused at first and felt angry, but when she was about to get angry, she found that her daughter was also in the car.

Although the woman knew nothing about what happened at home, at that time, she still felt the urgency of the situation for the first time, and instinctively understood that this was not the time to be angry; and her husband treated her seriously. After saying "Xingjie will take care of you after that", Lin Suya couldn't say a word.

  You must know that they broke up because of the conflict on this issue before.

   After the two of them were sent to the urban area of ​​Jinjiang City, the man just left. Lin Suya finally regained her right to take care of her daughter. She was afraid that something might go wrong, so she immediately sent her daughter to a nearby health center for an examination. The doctor found that there was nothing abnormal.

   But the reality is that as soon as Xingjie came back from the hospital and reached the place where she stayed, she immediately fell powerless. The little girl lying on the bed was writhing in pain, and her pitiful appearance made her heart pierce like a knife.

   At this time, Lin Suya remembered what her husband said when she sent them away, "Xingjie may feel uncomfortable these days, don't worry, just wait and take care of her."

   But...how could she not be worried? She is the mother of this child!

   Having said that, Ms. Lin knew that she couldn't do anything except be obedient at this time, just like her husband who refused to tell the truth and took his daughter away from her. The only resistance she could do was sulking alone.

   She couldn't help hating her not strong enough character again. As the saying goes, "the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change". I'm afraid this will be difficult to change in the future.

  Lin Suya sighed deeply while being distressed. For her, the most important thing right now is to take care of her daughter.

   As for where to stay, she has no idea yet, so she decides to wait until her husband returns. Whether you want to organize your belongings, whether you will stay here forever, or whether you will go back when the limelight passes, these are still unknown.

   She didn't know yet that she would never see that man again.

  …

   Mom left.

  Lin Xingjie reluctantly opened his eyelids, and everything that caught his eye seemed to be happening in a mirage, blurry, like a reflection on the water.

   She felt that her whole body was swollen, or there were wounds everywhere, and there were also lesions burning in her internal organs, and her saliva seemed to be swallowing charcoal.

The most terrifying part of    is that although she was suffering from pain, there was no abnormality in her physical signs, so that she could not even tell the truth or let others understand the pain.

   Dad said, this is the last difficulty.

   "The process of linking your consciousness with another world will officially begin today, and a huge supernatural force will be tamed and controlled by you"...

   Regrettably, Lin Xingjie didn't understand the meaning of the adults' conversation at all.

   She only felt pain, unbearable pain.

   At first, it was a headache, it was intermittent amnesia, and now it spreads to the whole body, and she instinctively began to fear what was going to happen next.

   And because there is no one by her side, the magnitude of this pain is increasing exponentially.

   "Woo..."

  ——"Is it hard?"

A familiar voice appeared beside her, as if there was a gust of wind blowing, and all the accumulated pain was blown away in one breath, the little girl's eyes were wide open, and she almost cried out of surprise. sound.

"you you……"

   "Well, I'm here."

   The little girl couldn't move, but she could feel her tiny palm being covered by a bigger, warmer hand.

   "I'm here to see you."

  …

   After that, Lin Xingjie complained a lot to her ghost elder brother, from the physical condition to the one who left her father, so that she had no news a few weeks ago——

She should have complained, but there were so many things she wanted to say, so full of resentment she had to postpone and postpone it for a while. In the end, she even forgot about it herself, and just kept talking from her heart. The first thought that popped up in the depths.

  Although it is upside down and only broken, the girl's words are undoubtedly full of the most intense emotions.

"I feel terrible……"

   "I think something is wrong with my head, I seem to be forgetting people..."

   "Dad said, if I can stand strong, I can become an adult early, protect myself, protect my mother..."

   "But, is growing up so painful? Is it only sad now...or will it always be so sad?"

   "Ghost" listened silently. He felt like his heart was throbbing rather than beating, so depressed he couldn't breathe.

   Xu Xiangyang is undoubtedly the one who has the clearest answer to the girl's confusion. In the next ten years, Lin Xingjie's life was naturally far from happy; until she met two close friends in her second year of high school, her youthful life was bleak.

   "Can you continue to accompany me?"

   In the end, the little girl seemed to realize something and asked cautiously:

   "I...I'm afraid I'm leaving."

  The ghost is in a distressed mood, but has to tell the truth.

   "But I will wait for you one day in the future. At that time, we will definitely meet again..."

  Lin Xingjie glared at him fiercely, his eyes slightly reddened. After a while, the girl turned her immature face.

   "Whatever you want, anyway... Anyway, when the time comes, I will definitely forget about you!"

   "—then when the time comes, let's start from scratch."

   The little girl deliberately didn't answer, but out of the corner of her eyes she was still secretly looking at the figure standing beside her overlooking her.

   In the quiet sunlight falling from the window, the eldest brother exudes a warm and brilliant light, as if she had played with a bubble blower; he stood there as if countless crystal clear bubbles were floating around him for a while.

   Immediately after, he disappeared like a bubble being blown into the sky.

   The time for separation has come.

  The world is like a broken glass mirror, and at the same time it is torn apart, clearly reflecting the girl's face from dazed to sad.

  *

   After Xu Xiangyang's consciousness regained consciousness, the first thing that rang in his ears was the sound of waves crashing on the coast, which seemed to be endless.

   is still the same, he doesn't know the spatial orientation, can't see up and down, left and right, and after wasting a while (although he also can't feel the passage of time), he finally realizes that he is standing somewhere.

   He realized in a trance that he was back on the beach again.

   Just then, he heard footsteps approaching.

   "Swish, swish."

   You can hear people's footsteps in such a place! Xu Xiangyang was startled, and quickly turned his head away.

  …

  ——What came into view was a girl with long black straight hair, with her hands behind her back, her head tilted slightly, and she looked down at him quietly.

The clear and supple long black hair is scattered on both sides of her shoulders. The upper body is a casual jacket and a T-shirt, and the jeans on the lower body only reach the knees, which outlines the curve of the slender calf. The girl has an exciting youthful vigor. Just being there brightened up the surroundings, out of tune with the dark background of the sky.

  In the dark and lightless world, the sea with turbulent waves, the boy and girl reunited on the beach like this haunted land, just like seeing each other for the first time.
