Invade the World Chapter 260

  Chapter 260 Bones

  The young people once again gathered under the tube building and walked towards the top floor.

  On the way up the stairs, they met the old lady carrying a basket and preparing to go downstairs. As soon as she saw Xu Xiangyang and others, she smiled and greeted them, and then curiously asked them the purpose of coming this time.

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xing look at each other during cleansing.

Purpose?

  Xingshi asks whether the crime is counted?

  The first person to speak was Zhu Qingyue. She took out the paper ball from the waste test paper from her pocket, and said seriously:

  "Last night, when we were staying in the room on the rooftop, we found something left by the previous tenant."

  She spread out the evidence.

  "Do you know her? It's a girl named Chen Hongying."

  The old lady was dumbfounded, and quickly nodded and replied.

   "Yes, yes...I remember."

"Oh."

  The squad leader didn't care about the old man's statement that was different from last night, and there were contradictory issues, she asked with a smile.

  "Do you know where she went later? Because it was from the same school, we were very curious about her."

   "...I don't know about that." The old man shook his head, "She has been away for a while, so that room will become vacant."

"Well, otherwise Xingjie had no place to live at that time." Zhu Qingyue nodded slightly, "But, does the senior sister come here to live every day? If she is absent for a while, it doesn't mean that she will never come back. Good luck. If we do, maybe we can still meet her."

"Yeah, Xingjie always said that I want to see her and discuss with her if I have something to do." Xu Xiangyang helped her, "So, during this time, we may be harassing more, shouldn't it matter? If it doesn't work, we can pay. ."

  The place is hot and small, and there is freshness in going there once, which is regarded as an experience, but they will never be there every day, so what he said is naturally a cover.

  "It's not a question of money..."

  The old lady hesitated, but shook her head.

   "In fact, the girl has already said goodbye to us and said that she will not come back again."

"Yes."

The smile on Zhu Qingyue's face suddenly became brighter.

  "——Unexpectedly, before she left this city, she would say something specifically to you."

"This……"

   Before the other party opened her mouth, Zhu Qingyue said one step ahead:

"About her, we've gone to learn about it a long time ago. You know, Chen Hongying never mentioned to the teachers and classmates in the school, to the neighbors nearby, or even to her father that she was leaving, so she was silent. She disappeared, but she was willing to bid you farewell to Teacher Sun. It seems that the relationship between you is really good."

The old lady had a solemn expression. Her eyes swept across the faces of the young people. The long-haired girl was expressionless, the short-haired girl was all smiles, but there was a feeling of bad water in the words, the same as the one I saw last night. The soft-spoken and polite lady is not like a person at all, while the only boy is standing by and staring at him, with a serious attitude like observing a prisoner.

   "Then do you know where she went?"

  Zhu Qingyue continued to ask.

   "...she didn't say."

"Really. I don't know if Teacher Sun is clear. As far as we know, the senior sister finally disappeared. After calling the police, even the police could not find it. Her father has been living in distress since then. In the end, I simply moved away from this sad place..."

  The girl's expression became serious.

  "I hope you can think about it again. If you are willing to provide clues, the parents who want to come to her will thank you very much. This is a good deed."

  The old man was silent for a long time, then slowly nodded.

"I see. I will discuss it with my wife after I go back to see if we can remember something... I heard the news about Hongying this girl for the first time, but I didn't expect it to be so pitiful. "

  The young people and the old lady stopped on the same staircase. No one went up, no one went down, and no one even spoke for a while, only the sound of the wind passing by.

  It is a bit weird to say "stalemate" or "confrontation", but they did stop in this narrow area, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

  In the end, Lin Xingjie took the initiative to break the deadlock. After waiting for a while, she found that the other party still did not want to let go, and soon began to feel impatient.

"Let's go."

  She took her boyfriend's hand, and the two walked towards the top of the stairs together, passing the old man without turning their heads.

  Zhu Qingyue nodded politely to the old lady, and quickly followed the pace of the two.

"is it here?"

  After arriving on the rooftop, Lin Xingjie walked to the cylindrical water tank standing on the concrete platform, bending her finger and tapping on the rusty metal wall.

  “The water used by some residents on the top floor of this building comes from this place, and this is the source of the water flowing in the sewer.”

   Xu Xiangyang replied.

   "No matter what, let's find it here first."

"good."

  Zhu Qingyue beckoned, a phantom-like monster climbed up along the wall, leaped high and squatted on the wall of the tube, she sighed slightly at the same time.

   "I really don't want our guess to come true... it feels like the plot in the criminal investigation drama."

  Hing around in Xu Xiangyang's heart was originally just a premonition - but with the girls' actions, this premonition was gradually turning into a certain kind of conviction.

After waiting for the heavy water tank lid to be lifted by the spider monster, Lin Xingjie finally couldn't help it, and she directly climbed the rusty iron stairs next to the water tank by herself.

"Hey!"

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but shouted.

  Of course, he was not afraid of safety issues such as whether she would fall, but worried that if the premonition came true, the scene inside might be horrible and affect the girl's mental state.

  But he did not succeed in stopping.

  Lin Xingjie supported the edge of the wall of the water tank with both hands, and he leaned forward indifferently, turning his head to both sides, trying to see the contents clearly.

   More than ten seconds later, her movements stopped, as if she saw something in the water that she cared about, but she was not sure.

  This silence continued for a while before Lin Xingjie seemed to finally let out a sigh of relief and straightened her body.

   Standing under the stairs, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but raise his head. From his perspective, you can see the girl's livid face.

  At this time, he twitched his nose vigorously.

  Xu Xiangyang seemed to smell a rotten smell, which was escaping from the water tank as the lid was opened.

  But in his heart he knew very well that this was just an illusion—or “synthesis”.

   Even if it is really an object with a bad smell, after soaking in the water tank for so long, and after not knowing how many replacements, it may no longer exist.

  What he really felt was the aura from the distant realm that gradually strengthened around him. For him, who possesses sensitive psychic abilities, it is like an irritating gas exuding a strong "smell".

After    manipulating the human face spider to lift the top cover of the water tank, Zhu Qingyue's movements did not stop there, but controlled the monster to cling to the metal wall inside and continue to crawl downward.

  The water in the tank submerged most of the water level. The evil spirit's hideous body passed through the deep water waves, and in the process made subtle waves that were invisible.

  Finally, it reached the bottom.

  Zhu Qingyue and the evil spirit controlled by the line have a certain degree of common perception. Although the degree is very vague, it is enough for her to recognize the state of existence of certain things.

  So, Zhu Qingyue became the first person in the trio to confirm the guess.

  She frowned slightly unconsciously. It wasn't until after taking a deep breath that the girl's expression became relaxed again.

The squad leader turned his head and asked with a smile:

  "Are you mentally prepared?"

   Xu Xiangyang did not answer, he looked at Lin Xingjie again.

  Rapunzel was climbing down the stairs and patted off the rust on her hands.

   "It's okay, let's get started."

  The squad leader nodded and gestured with his hand.

  Human-faced spider sprang out from the water tank, and at the same time a bag of dark things fell to the ground, making a dull echo.

  He walked a few steps in that direction, but he was unwilling to move closer, just standing in the distance and watching quietly.

  The first thing that catches the eye is a wet dress. The material has been shattered, and the remaining intact part becomes crumpled, and the original color cannot be seen.

  But after watching for a while, Zhu Qingyue still came to a conclusion.

   "It's our school uniform."

  The cloth wrapped inside...is a horrible mass of objects.

  At this time, Xu Xiangyang heard the wind blowing on the rooftop mixed with sad whimpers.

  At first he thought it was the echo of the wind blowing through his ears, but he did not expect it to be a real cry. Xu Xiangyang looked in the direction of the sound:

  A dark and slender silhouette, like a rag that is blown by the wind, appears from time to time. It is leaning on the edge of the water cylinder, looking towards it.

  In terms of size, she should have belonged to a young girl.

  Although he couldn't see the expression on its black face with no facial features, he could feel the sorrow that was so strong that it was enveloped by the dark shadow.

  It stood there, as if it was crying, and it seemed to be laughing.

The wind across the rooftops became stronger and the windows of the room crackled. Xu Xiangyang felt an unstoppable chill rising from his back; and when he looked at it again, he found that the color of the shadow was changing constantly. Light, until you can't see it again.

  Neither of the two girls commented on this, mainly because they were used to seeing the weird and haunted scenes, and they were facing the ghosts of the victims...To be honest, they didn't know what to do.

  "When oxygen is sufficient and water is insufficient, oxidation mainly occurs; on the contrary, when oxygen is insufficient and water is sufficient, reduction mainly occurs."

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly heard Zhu Qingyue say this softly, seemingly talking to herself,

  He was stunned for a while before he realized what she meant, and looked at the corpse salvaged from the water tank again.

  The "package" was thrown out of the water tank and fell on the ground. A part of the remains was blocked by the clothing package, and some were not. The remaining water droplets on the bones exposed to the air and still stained with carrion, like morning dew,

  "Has no one noticed it all the time?"

   Lin Xingjie murmured softly.

   "Maybe I found it, but I was fooled by it?"

   Xu Xiangyang guessed.

  "Because the water quality becomes dirty, smelly, or clogged, this is not a rare phenomenon for old houses."

   "In addition, if it was the old couple's hands, or if they were insiders, as managers, there would naturally be a way to fool the residents."

After adding a sentence, Zhu Qingyue looked at her again.

   "Xingjie, what are you going to do?"

The long-haired girl took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice.

  "...It is not yet possible to confirm who moved the hand."

   "Well, yes, very calm."

  Zhu Qingyue glanced at the pile of wet dead people on the ground.

   "But it's unlikely that it's natural death like this. Someone must have killed it."

   Lin Xingjie couldn't help biting her lip.

   "I want to ask to understand."

  "Will they tell you honestly if you ask?"

  The squad leader tapped on his forehead and sighed slightly.

   "I have tried it just now, it seems that the other party doesn't want to tell the truth."

   "I can't leave it alone."

  "Me too. So..." Zhu Qingyue smiled and looked at the teenager standing not far away, "Isn't there a more convenient way? As far as Xu Xiangyang's ability is concerned."

  Lin Xingjie looked at her boyfriend and found that he was covering his forehead with his hand.

   "It's okay if you are reluctant. Let's change our approach."

  Her attitude is very straightforward.

  If Qingyue said this, Xu Xiangyang might understand it as Gong Huo, but Xing Jie is often serious.

  Xu Xiangyang put his hand down. He frowned and answered after a while.

  "...I will try. But there is no guarantee, because the memories of the dead are very incomplete. What I can read depends entirely on God's will."

  He walked over to the group of bones.

  Walking to the vicinity, Xu Xiangyang realized that there was still a bunch of black silk threads squirming nearby. At first, they twisted wildly like water plants, as if they were struggling on the edge of life and death.

  But since being taken out of the water tank, the power of the evil spirit is like volatilizing gas and being blown away by the wind, gradually becoming awkward.

  The squirming hair finally sank under the ground and disappeared.

  With its existing power, it really can't get rid of the shackles of the haunted house...

  Xu Xiangyang closed his eyes, tried to get rid of the instinctive disgust and rejection, and sank his consciousness into the deep sea.

  When he opened his eyes again, he soon realized that he had substituted "her".

  He heard the sound of wind and rain in Zhoupan.

  A thunderbolt exploded, thunder billowing in the clouds, blazing and dazzling white light flooded the earth, and also illuminated this small room...

There is more than one person in   .

  Besides "she" lying on the bed, there are also the faces of two old people, leaning over and staring at them.

  Only at this moment, the appearance of the old couple only looks familiar, the two old wrinkled faces solidified with gloomy and terrible expressions, making people feel extremely strange...
