Invade the World Chapter 149

  Chapter 149 A Short and Long Day

--What's wrong with me?

In order to prevent Xu Xiangyang from noticing her expression, Zhu Qingyue has been deliberately walking in front of him. She couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows with her fingers, the same thought was always circling in her mind.

  After Song Yao disappeared, the four psychic team members lying on the ground were "swallowed" by the floor unknowingly, and disappeared without a trace. Later, according to the girl's suggestion, they were going to find a relatively safe place to stay, so they were walking in tandem on the promenade on the second floor.

  The more the girl thought about it, the more she felt that what she had done not long ago was a little strange, and the smiles on her face were slowly converging.

  The appearance of frowning willow eyebrows and being in trouble, if the boys in the school who secretly love her see it, they will probably feel distressed.

  First of all seduce...Well, what you did to Xiangyang just now can really be called seduce, right? Zhu Qingyue doesn't know much about this, but from the social perception of normal people, her approach should obviously exceed the standard of "friends".

  But the important thing is not the thoughts of others, but Xiang Yang he was surprised at what he did. She could still perceive this.

  He noticed that there was a problem with his words and deeds that were beyond his imagination. Maybe he was struggling with questions like "What happened to Qingyue?"

   So for her, this is equivalent to a serious problem of the level of "what happened to me?"

  I can only say that fortunately, Xingjie is not by their side, otherwise it may turn into a rather unbelievable state of affairs.

  But it is undeniable that she was quite happy just now. It is really exciting to be able to get closer to Xiangyang, and to see his flustered expression on his face...

  The problem is that I was still trying to get Xiang Yang to recognize my inner feelings two days ago, and rushed to confess to Xingjie; now that I suddenly act like this, how would he think of me like this?

  The girl knocked her forehead with some distress.

  Think about it carefully, there is only one day left before the one-week appointment Xiangyang said.

  If he had already decided to confess to Xingjie at this moment, his approach would not be very good.

  It's not good to become a third party in the two people's emotions. To do so is to apologize to both friends at the same time.

  In other words, you have to take the initiative to keep a distance from the boys. Xingjie doesn't matter...

"did you find it?"

  Walking in the empty haunted house for a long time, neither of them wanted to speak. Zhu Qingyue was troubled by the scale of the two people's communication at this time, and was not in the mood to joke for the time being, and the atmosphere became a little dull. At this time, Xu Xiangyang, who followed behind, walked up and asked with a smile.

   "Why don't you go back to the living room and think about how to get out?"

   "I want to see it again."

  Zhu Qingyue answered casually.

  She decided to immediately implement the idea just now, deliberately changing to a relatively plain tone, and when the other party approached her shoulders, she pretended to make a concession subconsciously.

  As a result, compared with just now, her attitude has obviously become colder.

  Ordinary people may not notice, but if it is Xiangyang——

"……Oh."

  Sure enough, Xu Xiangyang noticed her "resistance", he slowed down and fell behind, kept a distance from her, and stopped talking.

  Walking to a corner in front of him, Zhu Qingyue secretly glanced at the boy behind him. His brows furrowed slightly, seeming to be surprised by her reaction, and he looked... as if he was a little hurt.

  Sunny...

  She found that she was beginning to regret it again.

  At the same time, there is still a little flustered feeling.

……hehe.

  Aware of her emotional ups and downs, Zhu Qingyue couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, but the corners of her lips were curled up unrestrainedly.

  Yes, even this not-so-good feeling itself makes people feel excited.

really interesting.

  ——"You like him, like her, like them. But what kind of like is that? Is it like for friends? Or is it the likes of naughty children for toys and the like for pets by the owner?"

  The self-examination that night came to Zhu Qingyue's mind again.

  When she first realized and had to face her subconscious self-doubt, this sharp question really made the squad leader confused and annoyed for a while.

  Now she already wants to understand, but thinks this is a stupid question.

  Xiangyang is already his friend, this matter will not change anyway. Lin Xingjie or Xu Xiangyang will always be with her, so what's worth worrying about! What the future will become depends on how she does it after all.

  There is actually only one thing she wants to understand: to herself, is that fleeting feeling just now so important?

  Although he and Xingjie have not yet become real lovers...

  Different thoughts intertwine in her mind.

   Soon, one faction has the upper hand.

  The girl's brows slowly stretched out.

  If you want to say where there is a problem, Xiang Yang, who has been hesitating and unwilling to make a decision, has a problem. She is not wrong! She will not apologize.

  At the very least, it was before the day when Xu Xiangyang confessed to Lin Xingjie really came.

  And that day will come soon.

  So the conclusion is: it's good to keep it like this and feel happy, she doesn't have to think about how to choose.

  One day left.

  It's just a day, and it will pass in the blink of an eye——

  The teenagers and girls wandering around in the house quickly noticed a fact:

  It is not easy to find a so-called "safe place to stay" in this ghost place.

Song Yao's grandfather, the old man in the haunted house, seems to be really integrated with this house. The fumes released from his body form a mycelium-like tissue that stretches around and invades into the field of vision. Every corner has turned this place into a monster's lair...

  In other words, it is a mysterious forest from another world.

  What makes it difficult to find a way out is the road under their feet. After they stepped on the second floor, they quickly walked into a certain corridor.

This corridor is very deep and deep, winding and winding around on the way, the deeper you go, the more frequent the roads leading to where you don't know will appear, like the branches of a whole leafy tree, Greece The mythical maze of Crete is nothing more than this.

  The electric light next to the stairs has not lost its function, and the lighting can still be turned on. I don't know where the electricity in this house comes from; but the light never illuminates the end of the road ahead.

   "It's strange, was this house this big?"

After walking forward for a while, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but speak again.

   "Even if we are now in a basement, here are all underground spaces that have been excavated. Now this situation is still too outrageous..."

  What's more, No. 41 Anning Street was originally just an ordinary mansion for a family of three. It is impossible to have the opportunity to build such a large-scale underground facility.

   "That's right."

  Sir squad leader replied briskly.

  She stopped, walked side by side with herself, and regained her affectionate attitude, which made Xu Xiangyang a little confused.

   "Even if I have never been here, I can feel this."

  When I looked outside just now, there was only a two-story building standing above this area.

  The length of the corridor that they walked through was much longer than expected. From this level, it is estimated that the whole haunted house is at least as big as a palace.

  This is obviously unreasonable.

   "Xiangyang, haven't you noticed the problem?"

  Zhu Qingyue grabbed his arm again and asked with a smile.

  "I just checked the distance passed by and found no problems. No.1 (Human Face Spider) is following us and has been checking the condition along the road."

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't act as relaxed as she did, and shook his head gravely.

He has been constantly using psychic ability checks along the way, but apart from the gloomy atmosphere that is unique to the distant realm and the superimposed scenes of the two worlds, which occasionally chaos his vision, they are all common scenes. Found any problems.

  But this is the biggest problem.

  When Xu Xiangyang first entered this building, he encountered the endless corridors and the strange phenomenon of being unable to walk. Later, using his own ability to break the situation, he rushed to the squad leader in time.

  But if you think about it carefully, even if you put aside the effect of hallucinations, the length of the corridor is still amazing.

  This can only explain one thing:

  The internal area of ​​this house...probably it is as wide as this.

   "We have come to another world."

After hearing his explanation, the squad leader said with emotion.

   is right. Only this sentence can explain the situation they are encountering now.

  The haunted house has become a behemoth. The place where they are now is a long winding small intestine, and the monster's belly is likely to hide a real bottomless pit. No one knows how deep it will be.

  Going forward for a long time, they finally found a place not covered by gray mycelium.

  "Is this room vacated on purpose?"

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the slightly open door in front of him, and cautiously did not walk in.

  Since it is an adventure in a haunted house, it is unavoidable to be suspicious. After all, the room they met along the way was either an illusion that didn't exist at all; or the nearby walls and doors were covered with a thick blanket of bacteria, and they knew it was a trap at first glance.

  Suddenly there was such a normal-looking door in front of him, which was even more suspicious.

  The squad leader shook his hand, and the human-faced spider quickly crawled in to test the situation. The girl shook her head to herself, indicating that there was no danger inside.

  Xu Xiangyang used his psychic abilities to get the same result.

  He stopped hesitating and opened the door to enter.

  The internal environment of the room is also clean and tidy. It looks like the atmosphere of the guest room "no one uses it but is often cleaned on weekdays".

  "Sit down and take a break."

  The quilt on the bed was neatly folded. While Xu Xiangyang was still checking the interior of the room, Zhu Qingyue had already sat on it and let out a sigh of relief.

  But even in this case, the girl's sitting posture still gives the impression of a dignified lady, with her legs together neatly together.

   "It feels like a long time has passed."

  She supported the soft bed under her body with both hands, looked up at the dim yellow light from the bulb on the ceiling, and sighed softly.

   "Why hasn't Xingjie come yet? Could it be that he has already come in, we haven't met?"

  Xu Xiangyang was opening the bathroom door and looking inside. After hearing this, he fell silent for a while.

  If Xingjie is really receiving a signal from Xu Xiangyang and rushes to it as soon as possible, it will be time to reach the destination at this moment.

  As a psychic, Xingjie has the same psychic ability, so after Xu Xiangyang takes the initiative to convey information, she can in turn perceive where people are.

  He thought for a while, closed the door and replied.

   "If she does come in, but she doesn't find the two of us, she will definitely choose to make a fuss... we won't miss it."

   "That's true too."

  Zhu Qingyue chuckled lightly, then she sat up straight and shook her wrist-worn arm towards him.

   "Xiang Yang, come and take a look at this."

"Ok?"

  Xu Xiangyang was a little confused, but still obediently walked to the girl sitting on the bed.

  "Do you remember when we came out?"

   she asked.

   "We were in the second physical education class in the morning and afternoon, so it was about half past two?"

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a while, then replied.

   "Yeah." The squad leader nodded, "I'll tell you one more thing. After I entered this room, I noticed that the pointer on my watch was different from the number indicated by the wall clock in the living room on the first floor."

   "I thought it was the clock in this house that was broken. After all, it was an old house in disrepair. Or maybe my watch was broken. Thinking about it now, maybe neither of them is broken."

  At this time, Xu Xiangyang had already seen the pointer on the dial clearly. The time shown above is...

   "Two forty minutes."

  Zhu Qingyue whispered, her pupils shone slightly mysteriously in the dim halo.

  "Has it been only ten minutes since we left school?"

"what do you mean……"

  Xu Xiangyang's heart moved. In connection with the huge changes in the space of the haunted house, a terrible thought naturally came to his mind, which made his face look bad.

   "If there is no problem with my watch, the only problem is time."

  The girl's voice was as soft as a breeze, but it seemed like a muffled thunder blasted in her ears, which was shocking.

  The haunted house is the overlap of the real world and the distant world;

  The distant world is another world that is closely connected with people's spiritual world, and is adjacent to the real world but not the same——

  Now he can finally truly understand what the so-called "other world" means:

  It is not only the physical phenomena and laws that are very different, but also the simple expansion of the internal space; even the flow of time inside the haunted house may be different from the real world...

   "If this is the case,"

  Zhu Qingyue said to him word by word.

   "We may have to stay in this ghost place for a long time, Xiangyang."

   "——Because in this house, even a short day will become very long."
