Invade the World

Chapter 64: "Insidious" Lin Xingjie

  Chapter 64 The "Insidious" Lin Xingjie

  That’s it, I don’t know how long has passed——

  Zhu Qingyue was hiding in the bed, her eyes open, staring at the light bulb glowing above her head, she felt a tingling of eyeballs after not looking at it for a while, so she changed her target and stared at the corner of the ceiling.

  And during this time, the intruder was under her bed, and had no intention of crawling out.

  She had no ability to resist, so she closed her mouth tightly, did not dare to speak, and was careful to breathe.

  She didn't even want to move, even turning around to adjust her posture to relieve her stiffness, she would subconsciously hold her breath.

  If you act rashly and disturb the intruder, you really don’t know what the monster under the bed will do to you.

  Zhu Qingyue also thought about whether to pretend to wake up at night or drink water, take this opportunity to leave the room and call the police for help.

  But, the reason for not doing this is still the same——

  She dare not.

  Every time a girl mustered up the courage to get up, she just moved her fingers, and she heard the sound of her nails scratching the bed board from under the bed.

  Zhu Qingyue imagined that after she got off the bed, she just put on slippers and was dragged in by the palm of her hand from the bottom of the bed, grabbing her ankle... she didn't dare to move.

  The more crazy thinking, the more courage in the heart will be exhausted, and the more cowardly people will become.

  The breathing sound from under the bed gradually enveloped the entire room.

  In this way, Zhu Qingyue could not sleep well for almost all night. She occasionally opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, occasionally she was subconsciously drowsy under the effect of fatigue, and was awakened by the strange noise in the room again while half asleep, or was awakened by the unknown premonition that emerged in her mind.

   Strangely, the intruder really just hid under the bed without any other actions.

  If the monster’s purpose is really to hurt itself, or to take itself to another place, the light in the room can’t block it; it can even choose to pierce the bed from below and then grab her.

  But the intruder did not do so.

  It seems to be just monitoring itself. It’s just that this kind of surveillance method is too terrifying, not to prevent the target from discovering, but to prevent the target from discovering...

  Zhu Qingyue thought for a while, but failed to draw a conclusion.

  This night, the girl lying on the bed had several nightmares intermittently during the endless torture. Every time she woke up, she would forget all the contents of the dream, leaving only a fuzzy impression.

  However, judging from the remaining feeling of lingering heart, I am afraid it is an extremely terrible dream...

  When the long night came to an end, the first ray of light had risen from the sky. When dawn was approaching, there was a dull noise under the girl's bed.

  This weird sound makes people think of a scene where a corpse is going to pry open the coffin board after it is resurrected.

  This time Zhu Qingyue was completely awake. Of course she still didn't dare to scream, she just leaned her cheeks and closed her eyes tightly, but in fact she squinted a slit, observing the scene in the room.

   Soon, Zhu Qingyue saw a figure crawling with both hands and feet, crawling out from under her bed like a spider with only four legs.

Zhu Qingyue tried to restrain the tremor that came from deep in her body, watching "it" climb stiffly across the floor and onto the desk, then the body touched by the book turned over, and the pencil case was pushed down and dropped off the desk. The sound of the sound, the items on the table are all in a mess.

  The monster opened the window and crawled out slowly like a walk.

  After a long time, Zhu Qingyue turned her head and let out a long breath.

  Her eyes looking at the ceiling can finally be closed securely, and her body is full of powerlessness.

   is already the next day.

  There is no doubt that the girl had a terrible night.

  *

  In the early morning, Xu Xiangyang opened his eyes.

  He grabbed the alarm clock on the table and glanced at it. Today was another day when he woke up on time.

  The bright sunshine fell on the floor, and the fresh air blew through the curtains, which made people feel refreshed.

  Have a good night's sleep...

  He can wake up on time under the action of his biological clock, which means that he has no dreams and is very peaceful.

  Nothing happened, and there was no nightmare like the other students feared.

  Of course, the experience last night was truly thrilling. However, maybe it is because you are too tired that you sleep very deep.

  He got up, put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom.

  ……

  My sister still did not go home.

  She was called by two consecutive phone calls last night, indicating that she has another important job. Based on past experience, she may not be able to return home for several days.

  Judging from time, it might happen to be dealing with a case related to school intruders. Xu Xiangyang thought while brushing his teeth in the mirror.

  No matter what, because the siblings have not been together for a while, Xu Xiangyang is already satisfied to have the opportunity to meet her at night.

   Coming out of the bathroom, he sat back on the chair in the living room.

  The desk is facing the vibrant potted plants on the windowsill, and the sunlight that penetrates through the guardrail falls on the desk. Xu Xiangyang takes out the English textbook from his schoolbag and begins the day of recitation.

  When Lin Xingjie heard the sound of his reading, he would usually get up, and after she got dressed and washed, he could start preparing breakfast.

  This is the beginning of Xu Xiangyang's peaceful day.

  This kind of living habit started almost from the day after Lin Xingjie moved into the house of the siblings.

  The girl still lives in Li Qinglian’s room as it was that day, while Xu Xiangyang moved into the utility room opposite.

  The rest of Xu Xiangyang’s bedroom has not been carefully organized, so the mattress and pillows have been changed. Sister Lian usually uses that room when she is at home.

  Although they are young heterosexuals who are not husbands and wives living under the same roof, the two high school students did not agree to three chapters like ordinary residents, but rely on the tacit understanding of each other to maintain.

  ... However, things seemed a little different this morning.

  Xu Xiangyang waited for a long time, but Lin Xingjie did not come out of the bedroom.

  He didn't think there was anything strange. After sighing, he got up from his seat and walked to her room.

  One person’s life can follow the rules and obey the rules, but two people’s lives are prone to change like this.

  The stable life in the past may be gone forever. Before Xu Xiangyang made that request to his sister, he was fully prepared for it.

  Xingjie just occasionally steals laziness, lays down in bed, it’s normal...

  Xu Xiangyang knocked on the door, thinking like this in his heart.

"Are you awake?"

   When he knocked on the girl's door for the first time, he was so nervous that he was still on the same hand when he walked over. Now he is familiar with the road.

After    tapped twice, there was no answer inside.

   "If you get up again, I will come in?"

  Xu Xiangyang made a harmless joke.

   Lin Xingjie still did not answer. It was not until he waited for a while that he heard a faint response from the room.

   "You come in now."

"……what?"

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback.

   "You, what did you say? Can I come in?"

"Ok."

  The girl's answer was very short, and she couldn't hear the emotions.

  But with just one word, it was like a huge boulder hitting the boy's heart. Xu Xiangyang's calm mood until just now suddenly agitated.

  Is she letting me in?

  This, is this a prank? Still have other ideas?

  It’s not good to enter a girl’s boudoir casually, right?

   But since Xingjie agrees with him...

  Xu Xiangyang took a deep breath, and the thoughts in his mind were so messy that they were boiled into a pot of paste.

  The last time he was so tangled in front of a door was when he was outside the door of a haunted house.

  And the result is just like last time, Xu Xiangyang's body made a choice faster than his mind——

  He looked down and found that his hand was already on the doorknob.

   "click."

  The door handle was twisted open, and the door was pushed open a crack.

  He seems to have no way out now!

  Xu Xiangyang gritted his teeth and stepped into the room.

   "...You really came in."

  After he entered the door, he realized that Lin Xingjie was still lying on the bed.

  "Didn't you let me in?"

  Xu Xiangyang was a little bit afraid to look over there at first, for fear that seeing something she shouldn’t look at would make her angry; if she was treated as a hooligan by this girl, she wouldn’t be able to perfect it with a slap in the face.

  As a result, he quickly noticed that the possibility of the opponent accidentally evacuating it is basically zero.

Because Lin Xingjie’s attitude is obviously more nervous and careful than him: she grabbed the quilt with her hands and completely wrapped herself into a zongzi. Only a delicate face was exposed to the air, and her sullen eyes did not blink. Staring at himself blinking.

"Uh."

  Xu Xiangyang grabbed the back of his head and quickly changed the subject.

   "What's wrong with you, can't you get up so late?"

   "...I didn't sleep well last night." Lin Xingjie was silent for a moment before repliing softly, "I have been thinking about things."

   "About what?"

"a lot."

  The girl sighed.

  "About the possessed monster, about the haunted house, about Xiaoan, about the police, and...about Zhu Qingyue."

   "Student Zhu? What happened to her?"

   Xu Xiangyang asked subconsciously.

   "It's not you yet."

   Lin Xingjie glared at him fiercely.

"I?"

  He looked stunned.

   "Don't you think you talked to her too much?"

"Ok……"

  Xu Xiangyang hugged his arms, recalling the exchange with Zhu Qingyue last night.

  In the information he revealed, it is mainly that Lin Xingjie’s ability is essentially to summon invisible behemoths rather than the superficial thinking power, and part of the use of his own telepathy ability.

  This matter did not hide from a good friend. And the reason why he adopted this kind of rhetoric is on the one hand out of caution, on the other hand, to avoid making classmate Zhu feel scared or think too much.

   "I think it's okay..."

   "Why are you telling her about that haunted house?"

   Lin Xingjie frowned and subconsciously wanted to get up from the bed, but soon realized that she was still not wearing any clothes, and quickly retracted into the bed.

   Despite this, Xu Xiangyang, who had been watching her, was lucky enough to witness part of the exposed skin, including Xuebai Saishuang’s shoulders, a lace of underwear, and delicate collarbone.

   "Ahem."

  Xu Xiangyang coughed twice, and the little accident made the boy blush. In order to prevent Lin Xingjie from becoming angry, he quickly replied:

"Well, isn't the reason easy to understand? Because the place is too dangerous. However, even if we find people everywhere to tell the truth, we may not be able to win the trust of a few people. Therefore, we can only do our best and let one more person know. all good."

  He didn't actually think so much before talking to Zhu Qingyue, but the reason why he mentioned it during the conversation was indeed out of such a temporary consideration.

   Lin Xingjie was silent.

  After a while, she whispered:

   "I thought you were doing an experiment."

"what?"

  Xu Xiangyang is a little confused.

"Aren’t your abilities both awakened after entering that haunted house? Although it’s not yet certain whether it’s the haunted house that gave us the power, or whether we have this kind of talent, and the haunted house is just a source of power from the outside world. Stimulus, but there is a certain correlation between the two."

   Lin Xingjie sighed.

   "I'm thinking, if there is one more example, maybe the answer will be known. If she is really interested..."

   "...You mean, I'm trying to guide Classmate Zhu to take an adventure in that house?"

  Xu Xiangyang was extremely surprised and couldn't help but rubbed his face.

   "Am I so insidious in your eyes?"

  "……"

   "Let’s say, Xingjie, who would think of this kind of thing, are you very insidious!"

   Lin Xingjie snorted softly, without refuting, just turned her head and buried her face in the pillow.

   "Moreover, Classmate Zhu would not do that kind of thing."

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head, and then persuaded.

   "Okay, can you get up now?"

  "……"

  The girl lay on her stomach under the quilt and did not answer.

   "Xingjie?"

  "……"

no answer.

   "Miss Lin?"

   Still no answer.

   "I said, if you don't get up again, you will be late for school—"

   "——Then you still don’t hurry out?"

   Lin Xingjie’s muffled voice came from the bed.

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly realized that he turned around and left the bedroom.

  ……

  After he closed the door for dozens of seconds, Lin Xingjie breathed out a "ha".

  She lifted her head from the pillow, supported her upper body with her arms, and looked at the blue sky outside the window.

  As waterfall blue silk falls on the soft quilt, the sun lightly shines on the naked arms and shoulders of the girl, and the snow-white skin shines in the bright spring day.

  The girl's pure face was slightly red in the brilliance of the dawn, not knowing whether it was hot or ashamed.

  The anticipation of a new day made those lazy dark eyes regain their spirit.

  For Lin Xingjie, this kind of expectation that has not been felt in the past few years is still a novel experience.

  She patted her face, pulled her slender legs out of the bed, and finally went on halfway through the dressing and shoes work slowly, but she was still muttering to herself in her mouth.

  "Will you?...You believe her very much... Actually, she said she was insidious... Next time, if she encounters danger, don't call me to save someone!"
