Invade the World

   Chapter 441 There is a "ghost" next door

   It has been more than half a month since the strange neighbor lady moved in. During this time, Zhu Qingyue had a superficial understanding of her.

  ... In fact, she definitely couldn't do such a thing originally. What's her business with someone else moving in? Zhu Qingyue would never care about the lives of others. She has no patience like that, and is a woman who only looks on from the sidelines.

But the other party is really pestering me so much that they come to the door almost every day; and every time I say something, no matter it is a verbal suggestion or a direct and rude telling the other party to stop pestering me - that woman always goes her own way, as if she doesn't understand. She said the same.

  …No, to be precise, she didn’t take her words to heart at all. What a defiant guy, Zhu Qingyue gritted her teeth in hatred.

   In the face of this kind of active offensive that does not intend to listen to others at all, Zhu Qingyue, whose communication skills have degraded to the level of children, is naturally defeated, and the bottom line is lost again and again;

   In the end, Zhu Qingyue even handed over the keys to her house in a daze, which means that as long as the other party wants to, she can enter her house at any time.

   She felt very sorry for this. But the woman said this:

   "As long as you don't agree, I won't come in."

She speaks very seriously, and at the same time shows a very serious attitude. She doesn't come in if she doesn't want to come in. She just walks around the door every time. Even if she sits at the door for a few hours and chats with her inside the door, she doesn't want to step into her house. - On the contrary, Zhu Qingyue squatted until her feet were numb.

   In this regard, Zhu Qingyue felt an unprecedented respect, so she was very moved—

   is strange.

  Why bother with me?

  Why can't you just leave me alone?

  Why do these things that no one has ever asked for, and what good is it for you?

  Zhu Qingyue doesn't understand at all, a squat woman in a gloomy home like her has long since given up her plan to integrate with society, and just wants to stay in this home forever until she dies of old age.

   Taking care of her mother or something is just an excuse. The reason why Zhu Qingyue is unwilling to step out of the house can only be herself, because she is a super useless waste wood girl;

   In contrast, this young woman who claimed to be acquainted with her has long beautiful and smooth black straight hair.

Although not the type of good student, but with that cool style, at first glance, it is the center of the crowd, a natural "leader": not relying on relationships with people to deal with, but unconsciously It can attract others and make everyone revolve around her.

   can be said to be the highest-ranking figure in the social field, and I am not from the same world—

   Said these words, of course, Zhu Qingyue came from the heart,

The strange thing about    is that whenever she confesses her confusion and incomprehension frankly, the other party's expression becomes very strange and complicated.

   "Why are you, you, looking at me like this?"

   "No, I just didn't expect that there is such a side in your heart."

   The other party sighed and shook his head slightly.

   "Humans are really complicated animals... Qingyue, you can't imagine my current mood."

  Zhu Qingyue pouted quietly.

  Isn’t this nonsense, I’m not a roundworm in your stomach, how could I figure it out.

  …

   Another afternoon, Zhu Qingyue was sitting in front of the door, while the neighbor next door, as always, sat cross-legged across a door from her.

  The two girls are used to sticking their heads to the door panel and listening to each other whispering to each other, and doing so often lasts an afternoon.

   "Speaking of which, I don't seem to have asked your name yet?"

   After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Qingyue finally asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time—

   A normal person should ask after knowing each other for a day or two, who made her not normal at all.

  Zhu Qingyue really didn't want the other party to mistake it for an opportunity, but she couldn't contain her curiosity.

   "Huh? My surname is Lin?"

   "No, I meant your full name."

"what…"

  Miss Lin tilted her head, her hair cascading down her thin shoulders like a waterfall.

  Zhu Qingyue stared at each other's long hair, couldn't help but swallowed quietly, suddenly had the urge to touch...

   She didn't even understand where this urge came from. It felt like a desire that had accumulated a long time ago. In short, "I've wanted to touch her for a long time!"

   "—I won't tell you."

   The other party showed a smile, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, provoking a naughty arc.

   "Why, why?"

"Of course you have to find the answer for this kind of thing yourself, what does it look like if I say it out of my own accord." Miss Lin pouted, she looked cute, but in Zhu Qingyue's eyes, there was nothing but hateful, "You must To remember all the things between us, only in this way, my efforts will not be in vain."

  Me and her... We really knew each other before!

   However, Zhu Qingyue really can't remember anything, except for a faint sense of familiarity; and this feeling may also be due to the other party's words and a series of illusions.

   Until this time, Zhu Qingyue suddenly remembered that the other party had said something crazy. When she heard it for the first time, she didn't care, but ignored it automatically-because the sentence was so absurd, she didn't even have the idea of ​​verifying it.

   "By the way, besides we know each other, you, you said..."

   "Huh? You mean we're rivals in love?"

   "...Ah, so I didn't hear it wrong."

  Zhu Qingyue hammered the door panel with her forehead, like hitting a nail with a hammer. After a moment of silence, she suddenly let out a loud roar at the door.

   "Idiot, you said that kind of thing... how is that possible!"

"Um?"

   "Speak, say what a rival in love, in the end, I have nothing to do with a man at all! First of all, if you have to fall in love, you will have a rival in love! This is the problem of having hens before eggs!"

   "Hey, what are you talking about, you have a man."

   The answering attitude of the other party was unusually natural.

   "Although it's a stalker, it's what I got from others."

   "...I don't understand what you're saying at all."

  Zhu Qingyue just felt inexplicable.

   She really doesn't pay much attention to her classmates, even when she was in school, so even if she can't remember Miss Lin's appearance and name, what she said to her and even what she experienced...it's forgivable, probably.

   But finding a boyfriend is another matter. No matter how forgetful and slow she is, she can't forget such an important thing, right?

She really wanted to say that Miss Lin had identified the wrong person, but she had raised similar doubts more than once, but every time she was called back by the incomparable evidence provided by the other party—after all, the neighbor lady was aimed at "Zhu Qingyue" This person is here.

  Unless there is another Zhu Qingyue in this world.

   She covered her forehead and suddenly felt that her brain was aching.

What exactly happened? The worldview on which Zhu Qingyue lives, and the cage of stubbornness, is like an eggshell on the verge of being broken. She thought it was indestructible, but in front of this neighbor who seems to have fallen from the sky, she is fragile.

  —yes, she's starting to get suspicious.

   For the world around you, for the day-to-day life, if you don’t doubt, your whole life will pass in a blur, but once you have doubts, you will feel that there is a problem everywhere.

   The seemingly eternal daily life clearly hides some kind of loophole. A weak balance is like a precarious mountain of building blocks. As long as one of them is removed, all of them will collapse.

   And the neighbor lady said softly, as if she saw through her thoughts:

   "Qingyue, I think something is not right with your situation."

  “…”

   "You forgot me and the boy you once liked, don't you think things are weird? You were not like this before..."

   "I used to be?" Zhu Qingyue's heart suddenly filled with unreasonable boredom, "I don't know what 'before' and what 'past'!"

   "That's fine too."

   The other party nodded, but she didn't care about her impoliteness at all.

   "Take your time, don't worry. I believe in you, no matter what happens to you or what you become, you will still be able to find out the truth, because your brain is very smart..."

  Zhu Qingyue was even more upset.

   At this moment, a heavy coughing sound came from upstairs. The voice typed him.

   "Ah, I forgot to decoct my mother."

   Until this time, Zhu Qingyue suddenly realized that the living habit she had always maintained, which she thought was as natural as breathing air, would be broken so easily, as if it never existed...

   "Sorry, I'll go back."

   "Um... that's okay."

   The long-haired girl outside the door sat up straight, patted her skirt and stood up.

   "Let's stop here today."

  Miss Lin kept her back to her direction and stared at the dark windows in the corridor, not knowing what she was looking at.

   Zhu Qingyue was a little confused by this sentence, but she didn't have time to think about it, she turned around and hurried to the kitchen.

  *

  Zhu Qingyue walked into her mother's bedroom with the medicine, put the medicine bowl on the table, and then her wrist was caught again.

   "I heard voices from downstairs."

   Mother's voice was hoarse.

   "Who the **** are you talking to?"

  Zhu Qingyue broke free from the opponent's hand angrily.

   "You want to take care of my affairs again? Find out who you are, I'm taking care of you."

   "I'm worried about you, my daughter."

   said the woman.

   "I'm afraid that you will be deceived by bad people and abducted from me..."

   "That has nothing to do with you."

   Speaking of this, Zhu Qingyue seemed to feel that her words were a little too much, so her tone softened again.

   "Don't worry, that won't happen."

   "So, who the **** are you talking to?"

   "Just a neighbor, just moved in recently."

   "Neighbors... Don't you think it's strange that someone else lives in this place?"

   "What's so strange about this. If there is a house, there will naturally be people who live in it?"

"Ha ha."

   Mom gave a low laugh.

   "Then why don't you do this, Qingyue. You've been chatting with her for so many days, you should be considered a friend, right? Why don't you invite her to our house next time?"

   "...You would actually allow others to come in?" Zhu Qingyue widened her eyes in surprise, "What the **** are you trying to do?"

   "In this place, only our mother and daughter are left to depend on each other, and we need to be careful about everything."

   "You mean that the other party is plotting bad things? But she is a girl, and there is nothing in our family that deserves attention..."

   "Maybe, she's not human at all."

   said the mother.

   "Tomorrow you invite her to come to your house to play and see if she can walk into our house. If she can't walk in, it means there is a problem."

…Hahaha.

  Zhu Qingyue was stunned for a while, then showed a laughing expression.

   Mom, her brain is really abnormal. The girl looked at the woman on the bed with pity, and she was telling ghost stories with a serious face. It was really funny.

   It's no wonder that she has been unconscious for so long in bed.

  …

   "So, are you going to come into our house?"

   The next day, Zhu Qingyue pretended not to care and took a few deep breaths before she opened her mouth to invite the neighbor.

  No way, although the girl just wanted to scoff at her mother's absurd remarks yesterday, but after all, the only person who can chat at home is her mother, so as long as she said those words, even if she wanted to forget about it, she couldn't do it.

   In addition, even without her mother's warning, she took the initiative to invite others or something... For Zhu Qingyue, who had no relationship at all, it was not an easy thing to do.

   However, when the girl summoned the courage to say that, she was greeted by silence.

The girl next door seemed surprised and happy at first. She immediately patted her **** and stood up, putting her hand on the doorknob, as if she was about to push the door open; then, the other party did not move, and the smile on her face was also there. dissolve slowly.

   In the end, Miss Lin's head dropped slightly, and she didn't say a word, and her whole body fell into a strange silence.

   "...Lin, Miss Lin?"

  Zhu Qingyue was so frightened that her toes went numb, she asked tentatively, and her heart began to cry uncontrollably:

  No, no, no, no? Can this be said? !

   As if to echo her flustered heart, the light outside the door began to flicker erratically; the corridor across the door was silent, and the light flickered.

  The long black hair covered most of the neighbor's face, Zhu Qingyue couldn't see her expression at this time, she could only see her pressing her lips, and heard the other party's voice apologizing to herself in a low voice:

   "Sorry, I can't come in right now."
