Invade the World

   Chapter 417 "The Hanged Ghost"

A facility similar to a temporary camp was erected on the bridge leading to the apartment area: several simple tents, police cars and trucks parked nearby, and instruments flashing red and green lights could be vaguely seen inside the tents, looking in a hurry. People come and go in there.

   Located on the outskirts of the camp between the tents, you can also see sentries in military uniforms and patrol officers in police uniforms. Sometimes there are people pacing back and forth, shouting at the walkie-talkie;

  This is like the front line of the battlefield that only appears in war movies. The atmosphere is tense and noisy. It seems that a little spark can explode.

  Strictly speaking, this is indeed the front line of the battlefield; between the present world and the distant world, there is a battle that is destined to be protracted and spread to the whole world, the front line of the largest war in human history.

   "Don't come here, this place has been blocked."

   Seeing two young men in school uniforms approaching, a staff member came over immediately to chase them away.

   "Is it a child who lives here? Hey, the investigation team comes here quickly, and quickly contact their parents..."

   There are people who are calling for others to come and deal with it. Of course, most of the people in the camp did not notice the arrival of the two young men, and were still immersed in the things at hand.

   But that soon changed.

   Because someone in the crowd recognized Lin Xingjie's appearance.

   "Wait, that's-"

   Among the group of people in the camp now, one of them stayed in the frontline base of the God Media War to the end. He saw the familiar figure at a glance, and his working hands couldn't help but start to tremble.

Although there was only one relationship, I saw with my own eyes the real **** medium who has always seen the dragon but not the end, and then I saw the terrifying scene of the giant **** who punched the mushroom cloud with one punch. possible.

   He immediately called the headquarters to notify the headquarters and explained to his colleagues around him. After the news spread, people's eyes were quickly focused.

   "That's the new **** medium..."

   "Looks so young, the same age as my daughter."

   "Who is the boy next to her?"

   "Wait, has any of you contacted her?"

   "Who will directly contact the divine media..."

   "Where's the captain? Are Captain Zhou and Captain Li there? We want to entertain... Isn't the level not enough?"

   For a while, the scene in the camp was a little awkward.

  The people present are all insiders. For the existence of the **** media, they will feel respect and inevitably fear,

   Out of prudence, no one dared to rush forward without the presence of the leader and without prior notice.

   And, as a woman standing at the top of the world, being held by someone like this and appearing to them like an ordinary couple passing by and shopping is very impactful.

   "Who is in charge here?"

  Lin Xingjie himself seemed indifferent and spoke directly.

Next to   , Xu Xiangyang sighed with emotion.

   Actually, he was quite nervous when facing a group of adults he had never met. Some time ago, Lin Xingjie complained about a similar mentality to him, but now she is growing rapidly to adapt to her new identity.

The    spirit mediums looked at each other in dismay, until this time, someone finally came forward and said:

   "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, the captain is still on his way. If you really need manpower..."

   Obviously, if you ignore it all the time, the result will only be worse, and it will be misunderstood as neglect.

   "It doesn't matter." Lin Xingjie said, "I was originally here to deal with the problem, please tell me the specific situation."

   Next, the two of them were invited to the center of the camp.

Xu Xiangyang raised his head and could see several high-rise buildings that formed the main body of the community. The top of the buildings seemed to be able to touch the low-hanging clouds; below was an empty garden, only the sound of the wind whistling in the center of the garden buildings, against the background of the gray sky. It looked eerie.

"About 40 minutes ago, there was a far-reaching fluctuation phenomenon that affected a wide range. A considerable number of psychics in the city felt the impact, so some people came to the source to check the specific situation. result……"

   The psychic who led them to the edge of the community pointed them out to the problem at hand.

   "Be careful not to step on the line ahead."

   The other party also specially reminded them that through the grass is the garden; and there is a sharp dividing line between the soil and the tiles, and red paint is applied at this time as a more conspicuous warning.

   "Otherwise you'll be... well, you'll be directly hanged. There have been over twenty victims, and we so far don't understand how this phenomenon works, let alone a solution. So..."

   "Hang it up? This..."

  Xu Xiangyang quickly understood what the other party meant by "hanging up" because the example was right in front of them.

  ——Between the columns and walls imitating Western style, there are people hanging densely and densely high and low. They swayed gently in the cold wind, casting dark shadows.

The number of    ranges from dozens to nearly a hundred. What they have in common is that they are all in the posture of head and feet, ranging from a few meters to tens of meters from the surface.

The lack of sight of the "strings" theoretically tied to the group's ankles to assume this upside-down posture, and the absence of a dome to support the hanging objects, makes the victims appear to be suspended in the air. ...

   can not help but remind people of toys embedded in transparent hollow shells, or a few plastic fish placed in a tank without water.

   This area, which is full of hanged people, is now maintaining a silence that can be heard by falling needles.

   It is like a pool of stagnant water, time is stagnant, and matter no longer moves; even after the outside wind flows into the garden, it will fall into a strange silence.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help frowning when he saw this group of people who were silent and motionless like corpses.

   "These people are..."

he asks.

"Some are residents here, some are security guards, and the rest are members of the psychic team. There are three groups of twelve people. The first group is the first to investigate the information, the second group is the follow-up supporters, and the third group is the People who risk getting close and want to calculate the range of their abilities."

   The leader shook his head, looking a little indignant and a little frustrated.

"They are very brave, but once they step into the restricted area, no matter what kind of ability they have, it will not work. They have no resistance, and they can't even keep their consciousness and send information. They are often hanged in an instant. .So the information that can be obtained at present is still very little...We are wasting their sacrifices in vain."

   "According to the current situation, we guess that the source of this series of anomalies is in the residential building, but we can't even walk into the garden, let alone get close to that building."

   At this time, Xu Xiangyang said:

   "I don't think this group of people is dead."

   The so-called "feeling" here is naturally the result of psychic abilities.

   "Yes, according to current records, there have been no deaths from this paranormal phenomenon."

  The information content that a powerful psychic can feel can be replaced by modern technology, but a complete system has not yet been built around the world.

"After determining the range, we did not dare to approach them rashly. We observed them with a telephoto camera and found that they were still breathing. The results obtained by other methods such as infrared detection were that these victims still had weak physiological signs and remained at In a stable... 'suspended death' state."

   There is a bug called "The Hanged Ghost", which is very similar to the current state of the victims.

   This is the larvae of a class of moths that also grow into adults through the pupation stage. The special thing is that it cannot spin silk when it is immature on the tree; after it can spin silk, they do not immediately burrow into the soil to pupate, and will stay on the tree for a period of time.

   At this time, once they are frightened, they will take self-protection measures - spinning silk to hang themselves in the air and get away from the trees.

   In the neighborhood near Xu Xiangyang's house, the forest roads on both sides of the road grow lush, and every summer, a large number of "hanged ghosts" will hang down. The passers-by who pass by here don't know it's okay, but they can see countless upside down insect shadows as long as they look up, this feeling really makes people's scalp numb.

   Ever since there was an experience of walking under the shade of a tree with ice cream, and the bugs fell directly into the cone, Xu Xiangyang would open an umbrella every time he had to pass by.

   "It's kind of like the kind of bug that hangs on the branches in summer..."

  Lin Xingjie leaned on his shoulder and said in a low voice, seemingly reminiscent of the same scene.

   "Are these all made by Qingyue? This woman has really bad taste."

   "No, it's the banshee wearing the skin of the clear moon."

   He couldn't help feeling guilty when he retorted, because he remembered the adventure of being imprisoned in a haunted house with the monitor.

   Judging from the way she dealt with the grandfather and grandson, it would be hard to believe that she didn't have such a bad taste.

  The demon living in the building just inherited her personality.

  Xu Xiangyang once again turned his attention to the building standing under the cloud.

   "So, what's next?"

   "Since the opponent has already drawn the road, we have to take it." Lin Xingjie said, "Let's try it out for a round first."

The person next to    heard her words and couldn't help asking:

   "Miss Lin, take the liberty to ask, by 'tempting' you mean..."

   Rapunzel jumped on the spot twice, crossed her hands and fingers, and stretched her arms forward. After moving her body, her expression became eager to try.

   "Since the other party chooses to live in that house, it's easy to say. I'll blow up the whole community first and see how she reacts."

   "Yes, that's right..."

   The other party's voice was already trembling.

   "Don't worry, I will control the power within the range from the garden to the building, you don't have to evacuate and it's fine. Anyway, there are no living people in it, right? The living people are all hung up by that guy and scary."

  Xu Xiangyang is very aware of Lin Xingjie's style, even if there is no verbal communication, the tacit understanding between the two is enough for them to understand each other's thoughts.

   On the way here, they had already discussed: Because Qingyue is currently in the opponent's hand, you can guess without thinking that the extremely intelligent demon will definitely use the chips in his hand as a threat to let them throw the rat.

   But because of this, they couldn't choose to compromise and be weak, and even began to think about how to disarm the enemy as soon as possible.

   "If the opponent chooses to block, then try to accept the upper limit; if not, can you stop in time?"

"no problem."

   "Okay!" Xu Xiangyang nodded heavily. After deciding to attack Qingyue's house, the string in his heart tightened to the limit in an instant, but there was no expression on his face, "It's not too late, just start, and leave the part that locks Qingyue's position to me. "
