Invade the World Chapter 160

  Chapter 160 Being together is not enough

   "Hey, do you want to take a break?"

  The two walked side by side on the promenade. After a while, Zhu Qingyue suddenly said to him.

  Xu Xiangyang will naturally not object.

   "Speaking of which, we have never encountered the evil spirits sent by Song Deshou. Where are they?"

After looking around, what you see is the same scenes inside the house that are so boring to look at; the corridors are always quiet, and the scenery in the field of vision seems to be covered by a thin layer of gauze, dyed A dull and gloomy luster.

   is like a labyrinth that loops endlessly and never finds an exit.

  No matter how dull and boring video games are, it is impossible to design such a maze. Because at least the player can meet the monster on the road; but he and Zhu Qingyue are the only ones walking on this road.

  The road ahead is endless.

  They are actually waiting for the other party to take the initiative to attack and send them to the door, but if the other party never shows up...

  The old man in the haunted house is too calm, he thought, maybe the monitor may need to take action to use Song Yao's life as bait...

  While thinking, he jokingly said:

   "It shouldn't be lost."

Zhu Qingyue did not answer.

   Holding the skirt with her hand, she slowly sat on the handrail of the stairs, her feet still supporting the ground.

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the girl sitting on the armrest gently shaking her calf, turning her head and looking to the other side of the corridor.

  The quiet look made her look different from her usual impressions. Under the dim light, the short-haired girl who only showed half of her face seemed to be shrouded in a melancholy atmosphere.

  Xu Xiangyang watched quietly, and it took a while before he realized that his behavior was staring at the girl for a long time, and staying for a long time...it was a bit uncomfortable.

  He coughed slightly and asked tentatively:

   "Qingyue, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water?"

"fine."

  She replied. The eyes still didn't turn here.

   "That is hungry? Would you like to eat something?"

  Xu Xiangyang feels that his current tone is like a father who is suffering from a headache for his picky eater daughter, and is painstakingly persuading his child to eat.

   "I'm not hungry."

  The squad leader's answer is still brief.

   "...that line."

  Zhu Qingyue is very quiet. Even if he was resting, he didn't mean to talk to him. It could even be said that he acted a little coldly.

   is more obvious than before.

  However, this is exactly what he wants. Xu Xiangyang thought, it seems that his persuasion has taken effect.

  He is unwilling to guess what kind of deep meaning is hidden in the words and deeds of the squad leader, and he doesn't want to get upset because of her words or actions, it will make him feel uncomfortable.

  Xu Xiangyang ignored the dryness on the ground, and sat down directly, took out the compressed biscuits he carried from his pocket, unpacked the bag, twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle, and began to eat in silence.

   While chewing on the cookies, his eyes still fell on the girl involuntarily.

  ...Does he really think so?

  The squad leader's overheating behavior will certainly cause headaches, sometimes even dumbfounding; but in the bottom of his heart, is there no sense of excitement because of being able to get closer to her?

  When she chooses to be indifferent to herself, he really won't be uncomfortable or even regret it? Is this deceiving yourself again?

  Be honest...

  Be honest.

  Not only to Xingjie, he should also be to Qingyue—

  The thought came to Xu Xiangyang's mind, causing his hand to pause slightly.

  At this moment, he heard the squad leader who had been silent for a long time suddenly speak.

   "...Xu Xiangyang."

"Ok?"

  He raised his head.

   "The psychic team that entered this haunted house now seems to be all dead. There are no survivors, right?"

"…Ok."

  He did not expect that Zhu Qingyue would take the lead in bringing up this topic. He also thought that the squad leader would never take other people's affairs to heart.

  On this issue, Xu Xiangyang is different from her.

  As soon as he remembered that more than one person had sacrificed in this room, his heart became heavy.

Moreover, their ending is not the kind of heroic sacrifice. From the current situation, the members of this team were silently taken their lives and died in this dark house isolated from the world. Mansion

  After their deaths, the corpses did not have a chance to be buried properly. Instead, they were fully used as nourishment by the old man in the haunted house, and became a tool for boarding and incubating evil spirits.

  Everything in the past—life, family, memory, all precious things, will all be vanished after death. I am afraid that before entering this house, none of them thought that their ending would be buried in a damp and dark world. The residues of the flesh and consciousness mixed with the evil spirits, turning into a monster with no intelligence, in a haunted house. Wandering endlessly...

  It may be because Xu Xiangyang is a perceptual person who can experience empathy with others, or because he has not encountered enough things, so there is currently no way to be accustomed to the bad luck that befalls others and ignore it.

  During this period, he can only try to prevent himself from thinking in that direction; because he knows that once he thinks, his mood will inevitably become bad.

  "Is it this kind of work that we will participate in in the future?"

  Zhu Qingyue's voice was light and fluttering, and the emotion contained in it could not be heard.

   "What will happen in the future."

   "...Don't worry about this." Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "I think you and Xingjie are different from everyone else."

  The power that Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue possess after awakening are not trivial in the world of psychics, and they are by no means extraordinary superpowers—

Maybe this idea in the past was just an instinctive speculation, but as the three people deepened their understanding of the supernatural world, the number of evil spirits and psychic mediums they knew has increased, and it has slowly become a kind of Convinced.

Lin Xingjie can absorb human fears and create monsters similar to evil spirits, and the most powerful of them-the black giant whale known as "Xiao'an", has powerful destructive power and amazing aura. So far, there has not been any positive and powerful monster. The evil spirits of the contending;

  Zhu Qingyue is able to forcibly manipulate multiple evil spirits, and can even seize evil spirits controlled by other psychics for his own use, very domineering. Xu Xiangyang also considered that if she had to choose one of the two girls to be exposed, it might be better to push Xingjie out. The squad leader's abilities are really too terrifying. Once exposed, it feels like it will cause a lot of trouble...After all, any psychic doesn't want his abilities to be easily taken away by others.

  In addition, the true face of this control ability is the "thread" that is in the hands of girls. In addition to manipulating evil spirits, this thread can directly interfere with reality. It can be described as omnipotent.

To make a comparison, the old man in the haunted house can easily destroy an "experienced elite team" that Meng Zheng called; while facing the squad leader, it dare not make a head-on move, and only use ghosts in a roundabout way after choosing to avoid. The other evil spirits living in the house were tempted to use the special conditions of the haunted house to trap her, but in fact there was no other way to deal with her.

  Although he has not found a way out so far, Xu Xiangyang is not worried. With the help of this powerful force, they will surely find a way to break the situation.

  In short, he is confident in the abilities of the two girls. This kind of trust may be called blind in the eyes of others; but for being with them, watching the stars and the moon silently at the closest distance, watching the girls in the supernatural world like real supermen For Xu Xiangyang, who is shining and hot, it is a fact that there is no room for his beak.

  ...Yes, "Superman".

  He thinks that only this word can describe the strength that girls possess and their posture when fighting them.

  A big earthquake trembled and the air roared between raising their hands. The monsters that looked terrifying and terrified fell down like straws, or were manipulated wantonly like string dolls—

   is so powerful and so powerful that it is fascinating.

  Even if one day there are as many psychics and psychics in this world as stars, he doesn't think there will be many people who can be as smart as them.

   "With your and Xingjie's abilities, it would be exaggerated to fight alone; if you can unite, there will be nothing in this world that you two can't solve."

  His tone is very firm.

   "Yes, if it's just me and Xingjie..."

  Zhu Qingyue paused, and said quietly:

  "—But what should you do, Xiangyang?"

  Xu Xiangyang was stunned.

  At the moment he heard this question, his head suddenly became dull, as if he hadn't reacted for a while, he could only stare at the other party blankly.

  The sharp words of the squad leader did not stop because of this.

  "I found out after hearing you talk about the common sense about the supernatural. Xiangyang is just a psychic, right? If it is not a psychic, you may not even be able to enter a team like them."

  Xu Xiangyang's heart began to pound.

   There was cold sweat on his forehead, and his lips became dry.

   "...It may be so. But the rules are not static. I am different from others, and they will know this."

   "Well, I don't think ordinary psychics are your opponent."

The girl nodded kindly, her face with a faint, soft smile as usual, but the words uttered between her lips and teeth were sharp like a knife, piercing the illusion of self-deception, and her heart was always entangled. The hidden worries under the youth's past thoughts.

  "—But, compared to me and Xingjie, the difference is a bit far behind. Don't you think so?"

   "...what do you want to say to me?"

  Xu Xiangyang stared at each other. He didn't know if his face was red, he only heard a hoarse voice.

   "Sorry, my words may make you a little uncomfortable."

  Zhu Qingyue sighed.

   "I'm just... just blaming myself."

"what?"

   "I've been thinking from just now that you shouldn't have come into this house... No, I shouldn't have got you involved in this kind of danger."

"I've been worrying about your safety, facing the sun." The girl's eyebrows drooped, her eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, "Of course I don't care if the other party wants to use evil spirits to carry out special attacks, but in case something happens to you If anything..."

   "You mean, if you change to Xingjie, you won't have to look forward and be worried like you do now, right?"

  Xu Xiangyang smiled bitterly.

  Zhu Qingyue did not answer, but the look she looked at her still explained the answer.

   "I want to protect you, Xiangyang."

  Her voice is gentle and soft, and it enters my heart, which makes people can't help but believe that these words are from the heart.

  But because of this—

  Xu Xiangyang lowered his head, fell into an unusually long silence, and failed to answer after a long time.

   "Qingyue, one day...maybe it's just a possibility, but will you really say this to me?"

  After a while, he slowly spoke. The tone seemed to be muttering softly, not like speaking to others, more like speaking to myself.

  The other party laughed.

   "Strange question, am I just talking about this question now?"

   "No, no, no, you shouldn't say this, you won't say it. Because you are very good at understanding other people's inner thoughts, and you treat me as a friend..."

  Xu Xiangyang tapped his temple with his hand and sighed softly.

   "But, this does not prevent me from thinking like this."

  So, after all, it has nothing to do with how others perceive oneself, the real problem lies with him.

  Clearly knowing that some things are just my own deadly hypocrisy, but I still can't help thinking about it.

  The more dazzling the girls in his eyes, the more the shadow cast in his heart will expand.

  What an idiot! He really wanted to scold himself like that.

  If you want to say where you are lucky, it is that he has noticed this early.

  Xu Xiangyang has always deliberately avoided thinking about this topic. This way of thinking is too habitual, so that for a long time, even he himself did not notice this hidden danger.

  Until the conversation with Meng Zheng.

  Xu Xiangyang didn't like that man, but he was really grateful to him, not only because he taught himself about the supernatural world, but also made him aware of certain things he had to face.

  He must let go of his age-sensitive and proud pride and face it frankly.

  Compared with the squad leader's request that he treat Xingjie's emotions honestly, Xu Xiangyang even thinks this matter is more important.

  "—Qingyue, I...I like you very much."

He said.

  Such words can only be said at this time.

  Some words have been held in the bottom of my heart, but they are ashamed to speak.

  An illusion that looks exactly the same, but is not a real person, can be described as the perfect object to confide in.

   But even so, he couldn't help feeling ashamed, and subconsciously speeded up his speech.

"Of course, it doesn't mean that! It's just that, I heard Xingjie say that you regard me as a respectable object. When I heard about this, I was really happy. Because the person who said it It should have been me, but I have always regarded you as the goal of learning and catching up."

  "It used to be for grades, but now it is for..."

"Zhu Qingyue" in front of    seems to have said something. But Xu Xiangyang didn't listen or watch anymore.

  He didn't notice the breath of evil spirits, and I am afraid that what appeared in front of him was only an illusion.

  He simply closed his eyes and just said his own words.

   "I think I am lucky to know you and Xingjie. For me who have never made friends, the days with you are almost like dreaming."

   "But I gradually feel that it is not enough to be together with three people like now. I am not satisfied. I want to make the distance between each other closer. With you, and Xingjie..."

   "I hope I can stand upright beside you."

  It's not just the love of men and women, it's not just love. The relationship with them must be more important than those—

  The young man used to have such thoughts vaguely in his mind, but whenever he wanted to touch it, he slipped away lightly through his fingers.

   And this time, he will try to grab it in his hand.

   "So, I decided to give it a try. It might be a bit dangerous, but this is what I want to do..."

  After that, Xu Xiangyang kept talking in pieces. I don't know how long it has been. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the squad leader sitting on the armrest had disappeared.

   He turned his head subconsciously and found that Zhu Qingyue was standing in the corridor not far away, with her arms around her chest, leaning against the wall, and quietly overlooking herself.

  The girl's face is hidden in the dark, making her expression invisible.
