Invade the World Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Encounter

In Xu Xiangyang's memory, alleys are almost synonymous with noisy, especially in the morning and evening.

Those who came out to fetch water, hang clothes, and chat in the corridor with benches and recliners. The sound of playing mahjong and playing cards came from the slightly open neighbor's door. The smell of cooking wafted in the whole alley, at night. Vague voices can be heard on the bed.

The relationship between the neighbors is very close. Everyone knows the bottom line. Neighbors can always help a little bit when something happens in life. On the other hand, it is easy to be discordant. If anyone does something bad, it will be the next day. Can spread throughout the alley.

Only during the day when the children go to school and the adults go to work, this alley will appear quiet.

He still remembered that when his sister moved house, she was worried about whether this environment would affect herself as a student, just because this place is very close to her workplace and school, and only this area is suitable nearby. House of.

Of course, Xu Xiangyang is now very fortunate that they have moved to this place, otherwise he would not have met Lin Xingjie.

The two came down from the balcony together and walked into the alley together. Along the way, they met more than one familiar aunt, some of them were in groups, so the two of them almost greeted them all the way.

Xu Xiangyang nodded politely to them one by one, and received a bunch of "Oh, so good", "How is your school?" "Is it accustomed to live here?" "Is your sister working well", "Don't encounter difficulties in life" You are polite, even if you come to see Auntie and I'll help” and so on, his face is almost numb because he always keeps the same expression; while standing in Lin Xingjie, he behaves relatively coldly, and nodded silently when he asked her occasionally.

Actually, the impression that girls usually give people at school is this kind of "unpredictable" feeling, and they will behave differently only when they are with him. Xu Xiangyang doesn't feel strange.

It's just that after the two of them left, Xu Xiangyang consciously slowed down and listened, and he heard the comments coming from behind.

"The two kids look very good."

"This girl has a bad temper. She has the same virtue as her mother."

"His sister is a policeman, young and capable. She will definitely not live here for long. It's not all the way at all."

He suddenly understood the reason for Lin Xingjie's indifference.

In the past, Xu Xiangyang would naturally not pay attention to what he said to such people. His mind was often on the girl beside him; but because of the conversation on the balcony just now, he began to care unconsciously.

Each went home, and gathered again in the alley. Lin Xingjie still had the cheerful expression that would only be shown in front of him, and could not see the difference from the usual. The two went to the shop where they rented the discs.

He has been to this street countless times, but it's only recently that he will come out with girls. He used to think he would never have such a chance in his entire life.

When he first came, Xu Xiangyang's mood was always difficult to calm down. The occasional glances cast by passersby made him feel shy. Now he is used to talking and laughing with friends along the way, and hanging out everywhere.

"Quick, look!"

The two people who left the shopping street, when they walked near a flyover, Lin Xingjie, who was still laughing just now, changed his face, patted Xu Xiangyang's arm hard, and he almost squirted out while he was drinking juice.

"Look over there!"

Xu Xiangyang raised his head in a panic, and saw a person standing on the other end of the bridge hole. Although he could not see the specific face, his long yellow hair and sloppy t-shirt and ripped trousers were impressive. It was the group. One of the gangsters.

"I didn't expect to run into it here."

Lin Xingjie did not find them to seek revenge during this period, but did not expect that the other party appeared on their own initiative.

Of course they did not forget the existence of these three people. It's just that since the haunted house, Shi Hui and others have disappeared in the school without a trace. The two students want to find a trace, like finding a needle in a haystack, without knowing where to start.

Because of the usual style of these gangsters, everyone did not take the disappearance of these three people seriously, but Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie vaguely felt that things were not simple.

Xu Xiangyang looked around subconsciously, and there were many passers-by, including bicycles and battery cars.

"This guy…"

Just as Xu Xiangyang wanted to persuade Lin Xingjie to calm down, he heard the girl's slightly excited low laugh.

"Hehehe, it's great that this **** dared to show up in front of me... I can't give up a gift from my door, right?"

Lin Xingjie stared at the figure closely, pinched her fingers, and her finger bones made a crisp echo.

Xu Xiangyang frowned, but didn't mean to stop her, just reminded in a low voice.

"Quick battle, if there is only one person, we two will do it together. Don't cause too much movement and be noticed."

"You, do you want to help me?"

The girl turned her head abruptly, her beautiful black eyes widened round, as if she had heard something incredible.

"Are you actually going to help me fight?"

"What are you doing? I can't just watch you as a girl."

Xu Xiangyang sighed helplessly.

"but-"

"Xiao An's words, for the time being, we can't let it act with great fanfare in full view, even if no one else can see it. Therefore, I will try to cover for you."

"…I see."

Lin Xingjie clicked the corner of her lips and took out the swing stick from her pocket.

It turns out that she has always been on her body.

Xu Xiangyang stretched out a hand and motioned for Lin Xingjie to take a step back. The girl didn't object, and silently followed him to slow down, and the two quietly approached from the opposite side of the bridge hole.

But the day failed. At this moment, a car was approaching oncoming, and the two had to walk to the other side.

Xu Xiangyang's mood is slightly nervous. After all, it is the first time for a "good boy" like him to take the initiative to find someone to fight.

He could feel a feeling of falling from the back of his clothes. He knew that it was the girl behind him pulling the corner of his clothes.

"Be careful, the opponent may have a weapon on his body."

Lin Xingjie whispered.

"Ok."

is near, nearer.

When they stepped under the overpass, the sunlight above their heads was blocked, and the moment their vision dimmed, Xu Xiangyang suddenly smelled a pungent smell.

It is like the taste of seafood after highly decaying. It has a moist feeling and the unique stench of rotting.

…what happened?

Perceiving the strangeness, Xu Xiangyang stopped subconsciously, and looked around, but did not see the trash can or dump.

"vomit—"

Not far in front, the long-haired **** swaying there as if drunk, suddenly leaned down on the wall with his hands, there was a loud noise in his throat, and he began to vomit.

The passers-by who passed by Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie frowned, and walked past him, clutching their noses.

When the **** raised his head again, a face with distorted facial features appeared in Xu Xiangyang's eyes. Tears, nose, and sweat made this face muffled.

"Woo..."

The person seemed to be crying loudly, but his head suddenly lifted back, his back bowed like a rickety, like a dog ready to go.

"This guy...what's the situation?!"

Xu Xiangyang subconsciously took a step backward.

At the same time, he heard a rustling sound, like a faint cry from a distant place, and it seemed that every night he would hear a bug crawling by the bed, it was creepy.

Xu Xiangyang suddenly got goosebumps, looking around suspiciously, trying to find the source of the weird sound.

Lin Xingjie, who was walking behind him, pressed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Look, what happened to that person?"

"Could it be that you are ill? Sheep is crazy?"

"Quickly hit 120!"

Yan Mingjun's strangeness obviously attracted the attention of others. People who passed by under the bridge stopped one after another. Some people had already ran to the phone booth not far ahead to call the hospital.

Gradually, the front began to be filled with onlookers. Xu Xiangyang wanted to observe the situation through the crowd of people, so he could only stand on his toes.

In the bustling crowd, his brows became more and more frowning.

—Strange, no one hears that voice?

Everyone's attention was focused on the **** who was suspected of being ill. Obviously, the noise didn't mean to stop at all. Instead, it became more and more acute, becoming clearer and clearer in the noisy voices, as annoying as the sound of crickets in the summer grass. But, no one seems to have heard...

He saw that under the dim bridge hole, only part of the wall could be illuminated by sunlight. Yan Mingjun's shadow happened to be there, and at this moment, a strangely shaped shadow, like a slender, smooth, winding and crawling giant insect shadow, came out of the reflection.

And this scene, still no one noticed.

The creeping insect shadow crawled across the dirty wall, melted into the darkness, and became invisible. The voice never stopped, but got closer and closer.

—Is that the sound of "worms" crawling?

This thought came to Xu Xiangyang's mind, and he subconsciously held his breath.

The sound of rustling a little bit past the bustling crowd, it climbed up the wall, climbed over the lamppost, climbed over the rusty metal pipe, climbed to the bottom of the overpass, crawled, and crawled on people's heads...

—"Don't look at the top of your head!"

Just when Xu Xiangyang unconsciously wanted to raise his head, the girl's low drink came from behind. Her hand grabbed her arm with extreme force.
