Invade the World

   Zhang Hong ran down the corridor at an alarming speed.

  Zhu Kangwen ran after him, out of breath.

  His wife is one of the few top psychic mediums in the country. If it comes to fighting, even if there are a hundred or a thousand, he can't be an opponent.

   But the premise is that she releases the evil spirit under her own control that can rival the modern army, otherwise, she is just a mortal human being.

  But now…

  Under Zhu Kangwen's astonished gaze, Zhang Hong's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

   Even the body has been affected, is it possible—

   His mood became heavier.

   "Help...do me a favor! Help me stop her!"

  Zhu Kangwen didn't slow down, but when he realized that he couldn't catch up with his wife at all, he shouted.

   There are more than doctors in the hospital, especially the mental hospital, which has stronger security measures than anywhere else - and most importantly, this is a place dedicated to psychics!

   Even now, the inpatient unit here is "inhabited" by a dozen or so mentally ill mediums under strict supervision. They are different from ordinary lunatics. In the eyes of others, they are simply time bombs that may get out of control at any time.

   In order to avoid serious accidents such as riots, there have always been psychic teams and armed police units with live ammunition.

Seeing someone running wildly in the corridor, although not many people realized that it was Captain Zhang Hong, everyone still acted subconsciously. The passing security personnel used walkie-talkies to contact others, and several strong male nurses were about to rush up. Stop her, knock her to the ground with a hug and get it under control—they're all trained to do it, and it's not the first time they've done it.

"boom!"

   But they all came to nothing.

   The running woman was like a madman, but her figure was as flexible as a loach, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye when she ran into the safe passage.

  The security guards got up on the ground, ready to go forward. But just then-

   "Drip-drip-"

  The harsh siren echoed in the hospital, and the entire corridor was shrouded in fiercely turning red lights.

Everyone's face was smeared with a halo symbolizing "warning", the small voices of speech and each other's breathing were drowned out by the alarm bell, and the huge noise flooded the people's brains, so they couldn't feel uneasy, just Instinctively follow the actions of those around you.

   "Quick, quick, quick, quick!"

   Someone is yelling.

   "Someone rushed out of the inpatient department! The psychic evacuated the people, and the psychic prepares to fight!"

   Zhu Kangwen took a deep breath and leaned against the wall behind him. The coldness of the tiles seeped into the skin through the clothing, which calmed him from the sudden confusion.

   Now the situation is... a riot?

   Without a doubt, this is the worst possible state of affairs.

   But it all happened on the way the wife just ran away.

   Could this be a coincidence?

   Zhu Kangwen was still thinking; but then he saw the door beside him kicked open, a man in a white hospital gown ran out, and the nurse behind him failed to hold him.

   He looked in his 40s, with a thin body and a face that was originally demented. He raised his hands as if he was on stage, cheering and cheering.

   "Bang...boom!..."

   The door opened one after another, and all the mental patients came out with excitement and joy on their faces. Everyone was grinning and laughing, as if they were preparing to go to a bonfire party.

   They didn't attack people frantically, or scratched everywhere, but when the people behind them wanted to regain control of them, they held their hands, as if to invite everyone to a dance.

  Zhu Kangwen was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and ran to the middle of the corridor with clear glass, where he could overlook the courtyard below.

  The grass is green there. When the weather is good, patients often go out for a walk accompanied by a nurse, because a good environment and moderate exercise can have a positive impact on people's mental health.

   But now, on the lawn, which is carefully cared for every day, a group of people in hospital uniforms are running past, cheering and trampling across the lawn, dancing under the cloudless blue sky and bright sunshine.

   They were followed by a group of embarrassed medical staff, trying to knock them down. Instead of resisting, the patients invited them with smiles on their faces.

  Everyone is very happy. As mental patients, their brains are different from ordinary people, and their thinking is often like falling into a fog; they don't want to do things that are contrary to common sense, they just can't understand or control them.

   But now, the fog has cleared, and what they see is a splendid world of stars.

   Is that reality?

  No, it's better than reality.

   Doors were opened and people rushed out, happy like children who left their books and went to the streets.

  Although the hospital has a strict emergency state measure process in advance, the regulations were formulated without considering the subsequent personnel capacity and the situation that all patients would riot at the same time.

   In addition, the patients were just out of control, but did not act violently, and the security personnel who rushed in had no way to directly suppress them as a last resort.

   As a result, the entire hospital quickly turned into a pot of porridge.

  …

  Zhu Kangwen rushed out of the crowd, like a tuna trying to jump out of a can.

   No one paid attention to him at this time. Including the abnormal behavior of his wife Zhang Honggang, it is likely that the uninformed will only be regarded as one of the sick people.

   But he didn't think so.

   The turbulent unease in his heart made his thinking constantly approach the truth that he didn't want to believe.

   Panting and running up the safe passage all the way, Zhu Kangwen didn't know exactly where his wife had just gone, he just hoped to stay away from the chaos, and then tried to find the target from a height.

   But when he stepped on the top floor, he heard someone calling his name.

   "Kangwen, come here~"

   He glanced in that direction, and stopped immediately.

   His wife was standing by the window, waving at him. Zhang Hong smiled very beautifully and sweetly, so sweet that it was not like a woman her age, it was as if she had returned to her youthful days when she was in her prime.

  Zhu Kangwen's heart was in ups and downs. He swallowed and walked stiffly to her side.

   "You, what are you doing?"

  "I'm watching~"

"Look?"

   "Here."

   Smiling Zhang Hong raised his arm and pointed in a direction.

   Following his wife's line of sight, he saw a thin figure sitting by the window on the third floor opposite, with his feet hanging out of the window. It was a woman between the ages of thirty and forty. The two were separated by dozens of meters, with an empty courtyard in the middle.

   "Don't panic!"

   "Get out of there!"

   He saw on the opposite corridor, people shouting at the woman and running close. The security guard at the front seemed to be trying to persuade her.

   "Come down! Come here!"

   But the woman sitting on the windowsill was unmoved, looking relaxed, smiling and shaking her legs, in stark contrast to the anxious people. The large patient suit was empty in the wind, outlining the scrawny figure.

  ...For some unknown reason, even though he was separated by such a long distance, he could find that the other party was looking at him.

   The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the woman's eyes were deliberately looking at him.

   If you can really look closer, you will find that the thin woman is rolling her eyes, revealing the white under the child's hole. In addition to the pale Tongren, there seems to be another color mixed in.

   After only one breath, the woman's body fell forward and was about to disappear into the sunlight outside the window.

  People's exclamations were continuous, and Zhu Kangwen subconsciously held his breath. With a thud like a ripe watermelon falling to the ground, he dared not lower his head to look at the situation on the ground.

   "Yes, did you do it?"

   he couldn't help asking.

   The smile on Zhang Hong's face was the same as that of the woman who jumped off the building, bright and joyful. She said softly:

   "This is just the beginning."

"start?"

   Immediately, Zhu Kangwen saw that there were people running up the safe passage one after another, men and women, all wearing sick clothes.

   At this time, the hospital was understaffed, and there was no way to stop them.

  Zhu Kangwen immediately realized what was about to happen,

   A huge panic grabbed his heart, and the cry that he couldn't help but deformed.

   "No, you can't do that!"

   He grabbed his wife's shoulders and began to shake vigorously.

   "Stop them!"

   "Hahaha, hahaha."

   His wife's silver bell-like laughter was like a girl's; Zhu Kangwen, the husband, only felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

   "Why not? Look, take a good look..."

Her fingers slid in the air, and the mental patients moved in the direction of their fingertips, as if receiving some kind of extraterrestrial signal, they jumped out without hesitation and fell from the sky, like cracked tomatoes, fell on the concrete floor Bubbles of bright red slurry.

   is simply appalling.

   And Zhu Kangwen could only watch all this happen, unable to do anything, his hands and feet were shaking.

  —He knew that his wife's "sickness" was not getting better at all, but became more serious...

   is so serious that no one can stop it and it is completely uncontrollable.

  *

   A few days later, Zhu Kangwen sat in front of his phone, with his hands folded to support his chin, his mind was anxious and his eyes were blank.

   He was waiting for a call.

   After that trip to the hospital, his brain was in a mess at that time, and he just left here, took his wife's hand and took the car home.

   After calming down, Zhu Kangwen quickly realized that his wife's situation was no longer his business alone.

   "covering up a crime"...the idea of ​​this was just a flash in his mind.

  Zhu Kangwen loves her wife of course, but what makes him ashamed is that in front of Zhang Hong, who is now as strange as a person who has completely changed, the emotions that emerge in a man's heart are overwhelming...

   is undoubtedly fear.

   These two days, he didn't even dare to look at his wife's face. Sending his daughter to a relative's house temporarily, Zhu Kangwen himself immediately contacted everyone who could be contacted and might be helpful in solving the situation.

   Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person and has contact channels, otherwise he really does not know how to deal with it.

   Even if you can realize that something is wrong with your wife, generally calling the police or something will not solve the problem at all. Moreover, the wife did not use evil spirits at all during this period of time, so she could not expect to be noticed.

   But after contacting the staff of the local supernatural department, it was related to a first-class psychic in an important position, which naturally attracted great attention. The other party said that they would immediately notify their superiors and mobilize manpower to solve this problem.

today…

  No, there should be an echo soon.

   His feet kept on the ground, anxious and nervous, from time to time he opened his head to look in the direction of the living room—

  The wife was sitting in front of the sofa watching TV, as if she was watching a song and dance show, and she was laughing nonstop there.

   Everything she does is so normal...

   Except the TV wasn't on at all.

  Come on, come on—

   He knew that the work efficiency of the paranormal countermeasures department had always been very high, at least far higher than that of the general agency department, but he still couldn't help urging in his heart.

   It was like hearing Zhu Kangwen's cry in his heart, when cold sweat rolled down the man's forehead, and the clothes close to his back were soaked, the door was finally knocked.

   He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly prepared to open the door to greet him.

   However, at the same time he noticed that the wife on the sofa also got up. She put on her coat and looked like she was going to go out.

  Zhu Kangwen was stunned for a moment.

  Not good, is the wife planning to do it? Meet people directly?

   His heart suddenly lifted.

  Since he has made it so clear on the phone, the other party must be mentally prepared for coming. Even if he has to face the previous captain, he should still be able to control the situation, right?

   If the two sides really fight, he is more worried about whether his wife will be injured...

   But at this moment, Zhu Kangwen suddenly discovered something that made him feel creepy, so that the thoughts in the man's head were completely stuck at that moment.

"Telephone…"

   he murmured, staring at the empty ground behind the telephone, trembling all over.

  Telephone line...not connected at all!

how can that be?

  The phone calls he made these days and the words he said to others...

   Who are you talking to?

  Zhu Kangwen took two steps back uncontrollably, staggered and fell on the chair behind him, holding his forehead, he felt dazed and had a splitting headache.

  The conversation between the wife and the visitor came from the door, and the lake was vague, as if from a far away place:

   "Captain, I'm here to pick you up."

   "Well, my vacation is just over, get ready to start work."

"You have worked hard."

   "How can this be considered hard work," his wife's voice was full of smiles, "After all, this city is my territory."
