Invade the World

  The little girl wearing cotton slippers ran across the ground with a pat pat pat, and passed the boy standing in the corridor.

   As if she didn't see this person at all, she ran down the stairs without looking back. Only the boy was left standing silently, like a ghost.

   That was Qingyue when I was young.

   Although it was the first time we met, just like Lin Xingjie’s time, he could recognize it at a glance.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at her back thoughtfully.

   He thought, this is the second time he has experienced this situation, so he can barely know what to do.

  Compared to the last time, he walked to the starting line.

   Finally, there is no need to let her go through reincarnation alone.

   also finally… able to see the truth of what happened in the past.

   But before that—

   "That's the monitor when I was young." He covered his nose subconsciously, "It's so cute, so cute when I was a child."

   This is different from Lin Xingjie. When she was a child, Xing Jie was a chubby little girl with braids of sheep's horns, always running around, so she was covered in ashes. There is no sign that she will grow into a young Yinren beautiful girl in the future.

But the class leader is different. She has been a beautiful embryo since she was a child, with fair skin and delicate facial features. She walks around the room in a white bubble skirt, like a real little princess, from a very high In a palace on a mountain.

   Maybe it is for this reason that when he is following and watching the little girl's daily movements, the feeling of "I seem to be doing bad things right now" is very strong...

  Xu Xiangyang tapped his temple.

  Think of something serious.

  Like Lin Xingjie, Zhu Qingyue, who was still young in the past, also grew up under the care of her parents, which further highlights the poor family situation of the two of them later. And in this transformation process, something must have happened, that is the crux of everything, and even the opportunity to become a divine mediator.

   He walked down the stairs, watched the little girl run to the door, and rushed into the arms of the woman who walked into the house, shaking his head and acting like a spoiled child; and the way the woman caressed his daughter lovingly. In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a mother and daughter with a happy atmosphere, but Xu Xiangyang couldn't help sighing.

   "The good times don't last long" ah...

  *

   "Mom~ You've been out for a long time this time."

  Zhu Qingyue buried her face in her mother's arms, shaking her head desperately, and complaining all the while.

   "Alright alright, let go of your hands and let Mom go put the bag. It's only been a week."

   Zhang Hong gently patted her daughter's head and said with a smile.

   "Didn't I come back to see you as soon as work is over?"

   "One week, that is, I haven't seen each other for seven days. I miss you so much."

   "Mom misses you too." Zhang Hong put down her luggage, "How is the situation at school?"

   Her face was filled with exhaustion, but her expression was cheerful.

   Zhang Hong didn't lie to her daughter, she did come back immediately after her work was over; in addition, the content of expelling evil spirits and sealing the haunted house in the past few days was not easy, so now the whole person is tired and dizzy.

   But when she came back and saw her daughter's face, she felt that it didn't matter.

  The first-line psychic under the jurisdiction of the country is a hard and dangerous job, and last year, it also encountered a world-scale disaster such as the "Invasion of the Gods", and the subsequent reconstruction is also a long and arduous process.

   Every battle of hers is related to the lives of her subordinates and citizens, ranging from a family to a city, which is even more of a heavy mental pressure...

  Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Zhang Hong and her colleagues, all these things were blocked from the world where relatives and friends live, and did not affect her family.

   For the current Zhang Hong, returning home safely after work, the smile of her baby daughter showing her is the greatest consolation after a busy day.

  Zhang Hong is really too busy. After giving birth to Zhu Qingyue that year, she went to the front line before maternity leave. Today, she has actually thought of asking her superiors to retire more than once.

After the "Nest Mother Incident" in Tianhai City, as the hero of the war and the only surviving captain, she was actually the first person in charge of the supernatural countermeasures department in the entire Tianhai City, and the pressure on her shoulders became even more intense. heavy.

  Because of the shortage of manpower and combat power caused by the war, Zhang Hong had to make overall arrangements and go to the front line. She didn't even have time to see her precious daughter on the first day of elementary school.

  Fortunately, my daughter has been an obedient child since she was a child, and she does not need her parents to worry too much.

  Wait a little longer, Zhang Hong thought, when the busiest time of the past few years has passed, and after training your own successors, you can retire from the front line.

   Zhang Hong has always been a person with a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise he would not have persisted in fighting on the front line for so long, and he was always reluctant to unload the burden on his shoulders. This is also driven by his enthusiasm to protect others with his own strength.

   But since her daughter was born, her mind has changed and she wants to spend more time with her family.

   "Qingyue, you've been in elementary school for a while, can you get used to it?"

"not bad."

  The little girls are all mourning.

   "That's...that is, I always stay alone, no one comes to pick me up. I stay at school after school, and I can only let the teacher watch me."

   "Isn't there a father?"

   "Dad is busy with work and sometimes is not home at night"

   "That won't do, I have to talk to him."

   Zhang Hong shook his head.

   Her husband, like her, is a workaholic. If there is no common ground in this regard, they will not come together. After all, ordinary people will definitely not accept that their partner is busy with official business all day long and belongs to the family.

The difference    is that she is a psychic, and he is an ordinary person. Zhang Hong is the head of the local paranormal countermeasures department, and her husband Zhu Kangwen is an official of the organization department of the municipal party committee.

   "Work is important, but family is equally important."

  Due to the nature of the couple's work, they had thought about letting the elders in their hometown or an experienced nanny take care of the children before.

   But Zhang Hong finally rejected the proposal. She believes that children must grow up with their parents.

   Of course, this matter is not decided by one person...

   "Mom, I'm hungry~"

   Her daughter's coquettish behavior interrupted her contemplation.

   "Okay, I'll make dinner. You stay in the living room for a while."

   Zhang Hong put on an apron and walked into the kitchen.

   "There's fried chicken today, and I also bought a small cake on the way, and put it on the nerd over there. You can eat it yourself."

  The little girl's cheers came from the direction of the living room.

   "Can I watch TV?"

   "Just do the homework."

   "Okay~"

  Waiting for Zhang Hong to serve the dishes, wipe her hands, and prepare to greet her daughter over for dinner, but finds that her husband has not come back yet,

   She walked over to the telephone.

   "...the phone went off at home?"

   There was no sound from the microphone, Zhang Hong frowned. Did you not pay the call fee?

   "Dad is back!"

   Just then, there was a knock on the door.

   Just come back. Zhang Hong put down the microphone, got up and went to greet him, leaving this small matter behind.

  …

   "Why are you so late?"

   "It's mainly a matter of rebuilding in busy urban areas."

  Zhu Kangwen is a square-faced man with a serious demeanor, but after returning home, his facial expression quickly relaxed, and by the way, he put his coat on the bracket by the door.

   "Rumours have been flying all over the city in the past few months, and everyone is very busy."

  Zhu Kangwen is currently only forty years old, so he can be called young and promising. Of course, this is also related to his outstanding performance in the previous "Hive Mother Invasion" event.

   "You haven't looked at Qingyue recently? She said no one came to pick him up at school."

   "One day... I was so busy that I forgot," Zhu Kangwen sighed, obviously feeling sorry, "later, I asked the driver to help me pick it up."

   "You have to take good care of her while I'm away."

   "Yes, yes, I know."

   "Come and eat."

   After the two returned to the kitchen, they found that their daughter was holding a fast food, and the fried chicken on the plate was obviously missing several pieces. The little girl's cheeks were still covered with oil stains, and when she saw her parents coming over, she showed an embarrassed expression.

   The couple looked at each other and both laughed.

   Their baby is so cute that it melts people's hearts.

  This evening, the dim light was warm, and the family gathered around the dining table and finished the dinner happily.

  Although there are still such and other troubles, and we spend less time together all the year round, no one can deny that this is a happy family.

  …

   The night is dark.

  Zhu Qingyue lay on the bed and slept soundly. Zhu Kangwen put down the storybook at hand, exhaled, and lightly tucked the quilt for her daughter, turned off the night light, and walked out of the room.

   He rubbed his eyes wearily, intending to go back to the bedroom and talk to his wife for a while.

   As a result, when he returned to the room, he found that his wife had fallen asleep on the bed, and even forgot to change her pajamas.

   looks really tired.

   This is no wonder... Zhu Kangwen is self-aware. Although he is busy on weekdays, after all, he is staying in a safe place in the rear, which is completely incomparable to his wife's situation where her life may be in danger at any time.

  Zhu Kangwen felt sorry for her, but he knew that his wife was a very stubborn person, in other words, she was very stubborn. She would listen to other people's persuasion, but she would not put it into her heart, even if it was a close relative.

  Oh, let's talk about it tomorrow...

  Thinking of this, his heart also surged with tiredness. After turning off the light, he lay down beside his wife.

  …

   At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhu Kangwen was suddenly awakened by a sound.

  The room was pitch black, and the man was fascinated by the lake and the lake and reached out to the side, but he didn't touch anyone, only the quilt. Only then did Zhu Kangwen open his eyes when he found that his wife was gone.

   He held his breath and waited for a moment, then the voice sounded again. Certainly not his illusion.

  It's just that the sound is quite mild, like the sound of insects crawling. A few years ago, he certainly wouldn't have been awakened by this level of noise.

   But after the "Hive Mother Incident", everything changed. Not only has it claimed many lives, but the lives of the survivors have also changed dramatically.

Take Zhu Kangwen as an example. He stayed on the front line during the war and was in charge of the coordination and transfer of personnel and materials. At that time, evil spirits invaded everywhere in Tianhai City, and temporary haunted houses that were polluted by distant forces were born, like mushrooms after a rain. emerge. Even the countermeasures department with concentrated manpower is no exception, no one knows whether the base camp will be recruited.

   For a psychic with resistance ability, it is better to say that an ordinary person like him will die if he accidentally runs into an evil spirit.

   Therefore, during that time, he didn't dare to fall asleep at all, and forced himself to stay in a state where he would wake up immediately after a little movement. Over time, this state of life may even cause irreversible damage to the human nervous system and mind.

   is like a war sequel.

  Zhu Kangwen's neurasthenia has not improved since then, and he also suffered from severe insomnia. One of the reasons why he was so busy with his work was that he hoped that he would be so tired that he could fall asleep as soon as he touched the bed, so that he would not be tossing and turning in bed day and night.

  Wife...Did you go to the bathroom?

  He was a little helpless and got up sleepily.

   Maybe it's the sound of the sewer pipe, maybe it's a mouse in the house.

   In fact, this matter is not in a hurry and has to be resolved in the middle of the night. Most people may turn their heads and fall asleep again. But he is deeply troubled by insomnia, and will subconsciously be distracted by such noises...

   "Winter, winter, winter."

here we go again.

  The voice came from downstairs, and became clearer after he walked out of the room.

   There seems to be some kind of regularity hidden in this sound. Could it be that the door was not closed tightly and was blown by the wind?

   This can't be done, maybe it will be thieves.

  Thinking of this, Zhu Kangwen quickened his pace and walked down the stairs.

   Then, he saw his wife standing quietly at the bathroom door.

   "Wife, you are here. Why don't you even turn on the lights?"

   As he spoke, he touched the nearby lamp cord.

   But just halfway through this action, Zhu Kangwen suddenly stopped and stared at his wife who was standing in the dark.

   He always thought his wife looked a little weird.

   Zhang Hong stood in front of the bathroom, but with his back to the door and facing the wall, he maintained this motionless posture, obviously for some time.

   She didn't turn on the light, standing alone in the black Blondon, she should have heard her question, but she still stood there silently.

…what happened?

   He hesitated, and took two more steps.

   At this moment, Zhang Hong suddenly moved.

  —I saw her silently take her forehead and smash it towards the wall in front of her.

   "Winter, winter, winter..."

  It turned out that the sound came from this way.

   "Hey...hey!"

  Zhu Kangwen became nervous and ran over to stop him.

   His wife fell softly into his arms. Turning on the light in the living room, he saw that Zhang Hong's forehead had turned red from the light. Fortunately, the impact was not strong and there was no bloodshed.

   The woman didn't open her eyes, but her eyelids were shaking violently, and she could feel a pair of eyeballs rolling frantically underneath; at the same time, her mouth repeatedly murmured indistinct words.

  Zhu Kangwen leaned over to listen. The wife seems to be saying:

   "It's not gone...it's not gone...it's still on us!"
