Invade the World

   Chapter 453 [Ghost Story]

   After channeling to the monitor who reintegrated with Fake Qingyue, Xu Xiangyang witnessed everything that happened to this girl.

   is also the last psychic use for a divine match who has a close relationship with him. His experience in the consciousness space of the monitor is very similar to that of Lin Xingjie at that time, and there are also very different places:

With the help of the power of psychics, he saw Lin Xingjie's childhood appearance, and even communicated with people in the past in the form of a ghost: he became Xingjie's "ghost brother" when he was young, and he also met Lin Mingyuan. - That is, Xing Jie's father, who evaporated from the world, witnessed everything he did and was perceived by him as an existence from the "future".

  For now, Lin Xingjie didn't remember anything about him because she lost her childhood memories, and she didn't spend much time with him, even after she woke up;

   But on the other hand, Lin Xingjie did mention that "I think Xiangyang looks familiar, and when I first saw it, I felt like I've seen it somewhere"—that was when the three of them went out to play together during that summer vacation.

   Now it seems that what she said at that time was not a mere joke.

   If all of these are true, does it mean that one’s psychic can go back to the past and change the future?

   But in fact, it was only after he met Xingjie that he had the opportunity to channel her and return to her past...

   In order to confirm this matter, with the monitor, he naturally wanted to repeat the same trick.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it's because Xiao An is more obedient, and Fake Qingyue is entirely to let the power of the nest mother get out of control. This time, it is more difficult for Xu Xiangyang to "invade the past" and interact with people in reality. more than one step up.

   As if separated by a thick layer of frosted glass, he could only stand on this side of the glass wall and watch, but could not reach out. If you use too much force, I am afraid that the consciousness and experience will be dissipated directly, and the psychic failure will be declared...

   He has only one chance to use all his strength.

   Therefore, for a long time, Xu Xiangyang could only be a spectator.

   He saw with his own eyes how Zhu Qingyue's mother, Zhang Hong, was influenced by the power of the god, and her mental state gradually entered a crazy process;

   He witnessed Zhu Qingyue's father, Zhu Kangwen, being played and applauded by the possessed Zhang Hong, and even the man's final resistance became a part of being ridiculed and trapped. In the end, Zhu Kangwen, forgetting his wife and children, became a lonely ghost living in another city.

   And the source of all this is the "Battle of the Nest Mother" that took place in Tianhai City ten years ago. People paid a heavy price of casualties to drive the nest mother back to the distant realm...

   Unexpectedly, that was just the first step.

The real purpose of the   Hive Mother has been achieved: it has successfully sneaked into the world, and its chosen host is not someone else, but the hero standing on the front line of that battle.

  The nest mother itself does not have intelligence, but it does not need the so-called "intelligence" at all. As long as it possesses a human body, it can create a new kind of life from the remains of the victim's consciousness.

  They not only possess the common sense and intelligence of human beings, but also are loyal servants of the gods, all for the purpose of allowing the nest mother to finally come to this world.

   There have been two cases of this kind of "new life" that is different from humans or evil spirits:

  The first case was the mother-in-law who Zhu Qingyue met when she was young. She deceived Qingyue and let the little girl finish the last step of killing her mother by herself;

   The second case is the "junior" in the mother-in-law's mouth... I'm afraid it's a fake Qingyue, right?

  …

  Xu Xiangyang stood in front of a bedroom door.

   He knew that Zhu Qingyue stayed inside.

  The problem now is that the young Qingyue stabbed the mother lying on the bed under the persecution of the hallucinations created by the **** and the temptation of her mother-in-law.

  Although at that time, the consciousness that belonged to Zhang Hong himself had dissipated for a long time, and only a body with faint signs of life activity remained...

   But it seems that Zhu Qingyue still refuses to forgive herself. Because when her mother was resurrected, she chose to return to the old days without hesitation.

   The class leader is worthy of being a class leader. According to Xu Xiangyang's observation, although she is young now, her mentality is not mature like a child, so it is impossible for her to distinguish the difference between reality hallucinations.

What's more, the dead and resurrected "Zhang Hong" had no intention of hiding at all, she acted recklessly like a monster - Xu Xiangyang finally knew how Jinjiang City was controlled by the nest mother little by little, so that every entry A silk thread hangs above the heads of people in this city. It turns out that it has been weaving continuously for ten years, until the entire city has transformed into a nest.

  But Zhu Qingyue still pretended not to see it, and continued to take care of her "mother" as meticulously as usual...

   Obviously, she did it willingly.

   This mentality is obviously abnormal. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Xu Xiangyang was so anxious that he couldn't help himself;

   He originally thought that when Qingyue grew older, he would be able to turn his mind around, but the turning point had not yet come, but he waited for a worse development: he watched the girl's body weaken day by day...

Now, listening to the barely audible breathing in the room, he seemed to be able to imagine the little girl sitting on the floor with her head lowered miserably, her cheeks flushed abnormally, her face pale and her eyes blank. The wound on the foot is still bleeding...

  Xu Xiangyang felt numb all over. He was like an ant on a hot pan, spinning around in front of the door repeatedly, but there was nothing he could do.

  Theoretically speaking, the current Xu Xiangyang is a ghost in history, and any material entity that happened in the "past" can't block his way; but only this door, he can't enter no matter what.

   Sure enough, the power of the gods is at work.

   In other words, behind this door is the real core of the mutation... But he could only watch the young Qingyue struggling alone.

   Is this really okay?

  Looking at this situation, if Zhu Qingyue doesn't come out again and finds a way to go to the hospital to save herself, maybe she will die there...

   However, Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, since the monitor is alive, healthy and active, it means that the worst has not happened, right?

   There will be a turnaround after that.

  Where can I transfer?

   When does it appear?

  Who helped her? Or did Qingyue think of a way to come out?

  Xu Xiangyang looked around, this home is like a closed garden far away from the world, and it feels like no outsiders will step on it.

That…

  The more he thinks, the worse his mood gets, all the messy thoughts and countless memories come pouring out like bubbles in the water.

   Suddenly, a flash of light appeared—a certain memory gradually became clear in Xu Xiangyang's brain.

  Wait, he thought, this scene…

  —The scene in front of me, somewhere, I feel like I’ve heard of it before?

   It was also during the summer vacation not long ago that he and the monitor, accompanied by Lin Xingjie, went to see an old couple who had helped her.

   That night, they slept on the roof of the top floor, and Xu Xiangyang was seen by the two girls...

   This is not the point.

   The point is that before going to bed, Zhu Qingyue told two friends a ghost story, and once heard about the experience of hitting a ghost in her childhood—

  *

   "Actually, I don't need to tell you, you can guess a little bit. There's nothing special, it's just that my parents have been separated for a long time. It started when I was in elementary school and continues until now..."

   The short-haired girl smiled at them.

"To me, the so-called 'father'—everything he once stood for, is now the signature on the money order every once in a while when I go to the post office to collect child support. And when I'm an adult, Maybe even that little bit of meaning will disappear."

"Even when my mother was seriously ill, he just called someone else to take care of him. However, I always felt very uneasy, so I started to learn to do housework and help take care of the patients by myself. Fortunately, our family's economic conditions are still good. Well, these things were a bit hard for me at the elementary school age, but I persevered in the end.”

   "But for a while... that person passed away, and I started taking care of my seriously ill mother alone."

"Get up early during the day to prepare meals, and when you come back at night, in addition to studying, you have to handle housework and take care of your mother. Every day, every day, I am always busy until I go to bed very late, and I even have to cry when I am tired. No."

"Now I don't feel that hard anymore, because I have already trained and grown up. At that time, I was different. Not only was I young, but my mentality was not very stable. On the one hand, I felt that the teachers and classmates in the school were all Treating me differently, I feel like I can't stay any longer; and I'm the only one in the family who faces my mother on the sickbed all day, working hard to death..."

"Hey, wait a minute, I said, don't look at me like this. Don't you have such a time? It's just when you feel that there is no one to rely on in this world, and you can only hold on by yourself... I know Xiangyang I have always been accompanied by Sister Lian, but Xingjie should have a similar experience to me, right?"

"Well, I know, it used to be before, and now is now, I won't talk about it. In short, during that time, I really lived in a mess, and as a result, I broke down my body. I had a cold, fever, runny nose, and my whole body. Nothing is right."

   "After I found out that I was sick, I could only ask for leave to stay at home, but at that time I couldn't stop and rest, so my condition never improved."

   "Afterwards, I locked myself in the room. That's when—"

she says.

   "I heard a knock on the door."

  …

   Do you say, do you say—

  Xu Xiangyang shuddered.

   He realized that he had come to the fork of fate.

   At this moment, it is impossible to expect a brand new savior who can break the situation.

  In this family, only Zhu Qingyue, Ning Shen, and…

   Self as the "spectator".

   At a certain moment in the past, who did the knock on the door that Zhu Qingyue heard in an empty house?

If it is said that even if Xingjie is really affected by the "memories of the past" changed by Xu Xiangyang, she just thinks this boy looks a little familiar, so when the two met for the first time in the alley, they came over to meet up. Two words, did not take it to heart; it was his later actions, the experience of the two decided that they would be together, not the past—

   Well, the situation is very different now.

   Because, if no one knocks on the door, Zhu Qingyue really might die!

  If his current behavior has changed the past, so that the class leader can live to the future and know himself, he will channel her to the past again...

   This is undoubtedly caught in the loop of time. What is the cause and what is the effect?

  …

…Do not.

No no no no.

   None of this matters anymore.

   Even if it's fake, even if it's just a fantasy to satisfy his delusion of "becoming a hero to save the life of a past lover"—

   He couldn't just sit back and watch.

   So, Xu Xiangyang tried his best to squeeze every "fiber" that made up his consciousness, so that his own power would appear.

  …

  An invisible palm stroked the door panel, like a gust of wind blowing past, the bedroom door that couldn't be opened vibrated with an imperceptible amplitude.
