Invade the World Chapter 109

  Chapter 109 Hand in hand, walk forward

  Faced with the cheerful girl, Xu Xiangyang's expression was a bit embarrassing. He said:

"...I called Meng Zheng just now, and he said he would take care of it. In fact, the reason why I went to that place was because I saw him in the mall. This person is probably here to solve the problem. Of this incident."

"Is that right?"

"I guess so." Xu Xiangyang said, "With him, there is another foreign woman. After I met them, I planned to go up and ask about the situation, but Meng Zheng and his companion disappeared in the blink of an eye. , And then I met a monster... By the way, in fact, the evil spirit in the warehouse is not only the mannequin that can move, but also an evil spirit that is white all over and can use the scope detection ability. It is probably influenced by Mengzheng or Controlled by his companion."

  The two girls looked at each other.

  "Are there any other questions?"

"and……"

   Xu Xiangyang was silent for a while before repliing.

   "There are two other people who went in with me. They should be ordinary people. They have been attacked by now."

  Is anyone else...?

  Zhu Qingyue looked at the long-haired girl who was looking forward to it, and then at the boy who was a little bit distressed.

  Except for the two friends she chose, she was originally not very interested in other people's affairs. But neither Xu Xiangyang nor Lin Xingjie seem to be able to act as free and easy as her...

Two friends will not yell that they must save people, but if they know that there are others in danger nearby and are able to help each other, let them carelessly treat them as nothing happened. It seems unlikely.

  Zhu Qingyue considered for a while, made a decision in her heart, and said softly:

   "——So, shall we go now?"

  The two of them cast their gazes at the same time.

   "I thought you wouldn't agree."

  Lin Xingjie was surprised, because she had just sent out a similar invitation from the monitor and classmates in the locker room, but the answer she got was no.

   "Does Qingyue think it's too dangerous?"

   Xu Xiangyang guessed.

   "Yes, I did say so. But doing anything in the world requires risk. The trade-offs involved are nothing more than considering whether the rewards you get after the fact are generous enough to make people take risks."

   "Reward."

  Xu Xiangyang pondered for a moment.

"That's the truth. After all, dealing with evil spirits is a very dangerous job. It is impossible for people to be free workers. There should be corresponding bonuses for each treatment. Although we are not in the establishment, according to Meng Zheng's The term is civilian volunteers; but if they can help official staff kill monsters and rescue people, they will also provide corresponding rewards."

  Just as the wanted order will say “Citizens who provide valuable clues will be rewarded with RMB xxx”.

  Of course, the public security personnel will certainly not encourage citizens to fight against criminals directly, but if there are ordinary people with bold art and talents to single-handedly capture the murderous suspects, this reward will naturally also be obtained.

   "Other than that, maybe after helping people, I might feel better?" Lin Xingjie added.

   "It's more than that."

  Zhu Qingyue shook her finger towards them.

   "For us, there is another more immediate benefit. That is... to become stronger."

  "Wait a minute, whether the act of devouring each other between evil spirits can increase strength, right now is just a guess...?"

It is true that Xiao An showed signs of growth after devouring the worm-like evil spirit possessed by humans, but considering that even if nothing was done, its size would still "cengcengceng" over time. , So it is difficult to determine whether the act of eating monsters really makes sense to it...

  Maybe it's just that it feels hungry and greedy.

  On the contrary, it is to absorb the fear in people's hearts... According to Lin Xingjie's self-experience, it is a real means of strengthening strength, which should belong to the unique characteristic of Xiaoan.

   "I think," Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "Qingyue means her ability is suitable for taking risks."

  "Yes, as far as I am concerned, every time you control a monster, you can become stronger. This is the most intuitive way."

  The class leader laughed.

   "Although we cannot determine the direction of our future development at present, it is always okay to find ways to accumulate strength and become stronger like this."

   "Will controlling the multi-headed evil spirits cause you a mental burden?"

  Xu Xiangyang is even more worried about this.

  "At present, it seems that there is no similar feeling. Just adding another puppet to me is pretty easy."

  Zhu Qingyue gently raised her hand, her fingers trembling, as if playing an invisible piano.

  But Xu Xiangyang knows very well that she is using her ability to manipulate the symbol of the invisible “line”.

   "Everyone has seen the strength of the monster just now."

  The girl smiled at them, revealing a row of neat white teeth.

   "——As long as we work together, it's just a chicken dog."

  The three opened the door again.

  So, in this blocked, dim space, signs of air movement once again appeared.

nobody.

  There are no monsters.

  There are no white pocket evil spirits lying on the wall, no plastic models that stagger and walk.

  There is no sound. Screams, footsteps, wailing...none, only the audible silence of needle dropping.

  The remains of the mannequin lay quietly on the ground, and the plastic heads and limbs all rolled to the side.

  "Fortunately, no one usually comes..."

  The hurried footsteps of passers-by sounded from the top of the fire escape stairs, and quickly disappeared.

  Everything is buried in the darkness at the end of the corridor.

   "Just now, I discovered a new way to use abilities."

  As if afraid of attracting the attention of creatures hiding in the dark, Xu Xiangyang said in a low voice.

   "If you can cover both of you at the same time, you can avoid the possibility of being discovered by evil spirits to the greatest extent, and take the lead. This way, you can be safer... I think so."

  Zhu Qingyue blinked and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

   "There is such a good way, what are you waiting for Xiangyang?"

   "Because you just said the line'all chickens and dogs'," Xu Xiangyang shrugged, "I'm a little embarrassed to speak, isn't this afraid of falling into your prestige, Miss Qingyue."

  "If you can use a weapon, you will never go with your bare hands, if you can sneak attack, you will never face up, and if you can fight in a group, you will never be a hero alone..."

  Squad leader classmate said with a smile.

   "Although I have never had a fight with anyone, I think this is the secret to winning in battle."

   "Yes, that's right." Lin Xingjie nodded vigorously beside her, "This is too right."

"That's good."

  Xu Xiangyang took a deep breath and stretched out his hands to the two girls.

   "Come on, Xingjie, Qingyue, please hold my hand together."

  Neither Lin Xingjie nor Zhu Qingyue hesitated, they raised their hands in unison and placed them in his palms.

   There was a soft, boneless touch from the palms on both sides.

   This time, Xu Xiangyang did not panic, because he completely immersed his mind in his self-consciousness.

After a while, he whispered.

   "Can you feel it?"

"can."

"Ok."

After receiving affirmative answers from the two girls, Xu Xiangyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  The consciousness that he extended, then turned into a gentle wind, enveloping the world around the three of them.

  Prying eyes from other existences, secret sights, invisible detections... everything will turn into flowing water in front of this gentle will, subconsciously ignoring their existence.

  In other words, in the world of evil spirits, in the world adjacent to the real world, they should be in a state of "invisibility"——

   "It seems... it really can't see us?"

  Zhu Qingyue raised her head and looked at the ceiling, exclaiming.

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head along with her movements. He saw a huge spider sticking out his head in the corner of the shadow.

  On the other side of the falling fat abdomen, there was a human head, and the fierce sight from the scarlet pupils, even the distorted and wailing face, seemed calm at this moment.

  ...It seems that the instinct was lost because of not finding its owner.

  Of course, the “line” that controls it still exists, so I dare not take the opportunity to escape.

   "You are amazing, Xiangyang."

  Zhu Qingyue whispered in praise.

  Although it was just a sentence, Xu Xiangyang could hear the sincerity in her tone, and he couldn't help jumping for joy.

  Compared with her, Xing Jie behaved in a convulsive manner. Her other hand swayed uneasily, her gaze drifting back and forth on the walls on both sides of the corridor, she just refused to meet him.

  Xu Xiangyang quickly noticed her distraction.

"no problem?"

  He looked down at the interlocking palms of the two of them, seeming a little surprised.

  "Is it because of this?" Xu Xiangyang raised the palms they were holding together, "I think this way is better for positioning, otherwise the distance covered by the ability is not well grasped. But if you feel uncomfortable..."

"No, it's not a matter of holding hands." Lin Xingjie shook her head quickly to deny, with hesitation in her tone, "I just think that the surrounding body seems a little weird, like... it's like being changed by the feeling you had when you were channeling. It's stronger."

  This is a matter of course, after all, what spreads around the three of them at this moment is part of his consciousness.

   "Ah, I understand what you mean." Zhu Qingyue's tone of enlightenment, but with a distinctly narrow tone in her tone, "In simple terms, it's like being held in the arms by Xiangyang classmate——"

  Lin Xingjie turned her head abruptly, with an expression of astonishment, "What are you talking about!"

   "Ahem, it's just an illusion. Anyway, it's only a distance, and Shinobi will pass."

  Xu Xiangyang coughed.

"In short, since it is confirmed that my abilities are effective, let's go together. Also, don't be too loud. We just won't be discovered by observation methods with psychic effects, but we are not truly invisible. If the other party is an individual, You can still notice if you are not blind or deaf, or have organs such as eyes and ears."

   "I, I know..."

  Xu Xiangyang holding Lin Xingjie with his left hand and Zhu Qingyue with his right hand, walking along the gloomy corridor step by step.

  He needs to separate his mind and control the psychic ability of the three people forward while observing the surrounding environment.

   With the help of the faint light, we can occasionally see strange shadows hanging down on the floor. After being controlled by the class leader and classmates, they are crawling on the ceiling, vigilantly patrolling and peeping around, protecting the three human face spiders underneath.

  In fact, as Zhu Qingyue said, the evil spirit hiding in the mannequin does not seem to be very strong.

   Even so, Xu Xiangyang does not want them to relax their vigilance. because……

   "There may be more than one evil spirit hidden in it."

  As he walked to the middle of the corridor, he couldn't help but reminded in a low voice.

   "The other end is white, didn't you say it might be from Meng Zheng's side?"

  "This matter is not certain yet. Besides, I am not referring to it."

"……what?"

   "Xiangyang means that there may be more than one monster that can manipulate the human model."

  At a glance, the mannequins lying on the wall and lying on the ground are everywhere, and you can see seven or eight at random.

  This is just the number in the corridor. In the wide warehouse area at the end of the corridor, I don't know how many more are hidden.

  "Are these all...?"

   Lin Xingjie opened her eyes wide.

   "It's hard to tell."

  Xu Xiangyang's tone is a bit heavy.

   "However, if the evil spirits are regarded as creatures from another world, it is not uncommon to have the habit of living in groups."

  Moreover, they have real examples to prove this.

  In the haunted house on Anning Street, there is more than one long worm of the same type; that house is equivalent to their nest.

   "So, is this place a 'haunted house'?"

   Zhu Qingyue guessed.

  According to the information revealed by Meng Zheng during that brief conversation, the evil spirits generally cannot leave the haunted house.

  Unless it is a more powerful type like the old man in the haunted house, he can remain independent and act in the outside world; while possessing humans is the other most common way.

"...There is another possibility." Xu Xiangyang said, "That is, the evil spirits here are all manipulated by people like you. In short, we still have to see if Mr. Meng Zheng is present or not. ."

If the professional is added, the safety of this operation can be guaranteed to the greatest extent; but on the other hand, if he is present, Zhu Qingyue's power to manipulate other evil spirits will not be exposed for the time being. The human face spider and Xiao An's power come to fight.

  If he isn't here--

"arrive."

  The three stopped and looked at the warehouse immersed in the invisible darkness in front of them.

   "Something is wrong."

  Zhu Qingyue said softly.

"where?"

  Xu Xiangyang could feel that his palm was being held tightly by Lin Xingjie's slender palm unknowingly.

   "They... seem to be looking at the entrance." The class leader smiled and pointed to the front, "Is this preparing for a welcome ceremony?"

  As she said, the mannequins all over the corner of the warehouse never knew when they turned the contoured plastic faces towards the entrance of the corridor.

  For a time, Xu Xiangyang felt as if he was undergoing a baptism of gaze, with countless sights pouring down like a rainstorm.
