Invade the World

  Chapter 115 Cheating

"This……"

   After Lin Xingjie got a positive answer from him, she couldn't help but froze for a while.

At this moment, the contestants who participated in the men’s 400m final had almost reached the finish line. The cheers from the audience and on the side of the track became louder and enthusiastic. The drumbeat was vaguely audible. It was from Jinjiang No. 1 Middle School. From the direction.

  "Go on, Jiang Lei! Go on Jiang Lei!"

  The girls standing next to them yelled excitedly, their cheeks flushed.

  Xu Xiangyang glanced at them quietly, and found that the eyes of these people were firmly fixed on the boy running ahead.

  ...Is it someone you know?

  Xu Xiangyang looked at the school uniforms and school badges around their waists again.

   is a member of the City No. 1 Middle School.

  Xu Xiangyang secretly cares about it.

  At this time, the few people who ran ahead had crossed the line smoothly.

  400 meters is just a lap of a normal-length runway. There is no need to be lapped or run like a kilometer long run. The last one ran panting, several minutes behind others before reaching the finish line.

  After all the participants arrived, the support members of each class rushed up to help hand over water and towels.

  Among the players resting near the finish line, the most conspicuous is the boy who ran at the forefront from the halfway point.

  After a violent exercise, he was still not flushed, he was wearing sportswear, with open arms and a smile on his face. Like a hero, he walked across the meadow surrounded by his classmates triumphantly, winning bursts of cheers.

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie watched the boy go away side by side, and finally returned to the camp of No. 1 Middle School.

   "That guy is..."

   "Well, it should be the same as you guys."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded.

   "The moment the thing grew on his feet, I felt the breath of evil spirits."

  "Will it be possessed?"

"It's also possible. However, the physical mutation that occurs on the possessed person is more like uncontrollable and can be seen by ordinary people. Like him, he can autonomously release the type of'normal people invisible power'. I think it is. The possibility of psychics is higher."

When Xu Xiangyang answered her question, he was thinking of another thing:

  Sure enough, there are still “superpowers” ​​of the same age as ours in this city.

Although this was expected-when Meng was persuading him to join the official organization, he half-jokingly mentioned the "peer girl" matter, indicating that there are indeed psychics who are still students like the three of them. ...

  But, witnessing it with your own eyes like this is another matter.

  It was a sudden encounter.

  While the two friends were chatting quietly, a group of girls happened to pass by them.

   "Did you just see it? The guy in our class had a very angry expression. I thought that he would definitely win the championship this time, but he was still a sportsman. I didn't expect..."

  "The first place is the one in the first one! I leaned over and took a look at that time, he was quite handsome."

   "Little Nizi Chun's heart is sprouting?"

   "Oh, I hate it, there is no..."

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie heard their words, their expressions became a little weird.

   "Look like that...is it handsome?"

  She has an expression that is not very understandable.

   "Huh, probably?"

  Xu Xiangyang can see clearly. The boy named Jiang Lei has good facial features. He is tall and straight. It seems that he is a very good type among boys of the same age, just like the custody nanny in the idol dramas that are currently shown on TV.

  Judging from the reactions of the girls who cheered for him around the runway, and the large group of comrades who flocked around him, he would be considered a man in the city.

  ... But if he is really handsome enough to stand out from the crowd, that's nothing. At least with Lin Xingjie or Zhu Qingyue's appearance that would be very conspicuous when thrown into a bunch of people, it is not at the same level.

  It's better to say that these two girls are special cases. He doesn't even feel that he lives in the same world as them.

  "I think that since this guy used super powers to cheat in a running game, he was not handsome at all."

   Lin Xingjie said by the side.

   "...that's true."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded in agreement.

  There is more than one road ahead for young people.

  Some people are good at music, performance, painting and other talents, and some are good at certain aspects of sports activities.

  They can take a different path from most high school students who choose to fight with the test paper, but if they want to really stand out and climb up, they need to go through all kinds of hardships and overcome obstacles.

  The so-called "selection" and the so-called "elimination" means that millions of people walk on the same single-plank bridge.

  It is cruel, but fair enough.

  So, those who choose to cheat in this process will seem so annoying.

  Although superpowers are their own abilities, the boy’s approach is to sorry those who really put their youth and sweat on these projects.

  Humans have long been able to create tools and instruments that are countless times faster than top athletes, but people are still more willing to watch physical mortals perform their limits on the field...

   "The reason why he can still be cheered by people is that everyone doesn't know the truth."

   "...who knows."

In Xu Xiangyang’s opinion, if the boy exposes the fact that he has superpowers in front of ordinary people, he will definitely win more cheers and crowds than he does now; and the so-called "cheating on the court" is a matter of course. Someone proposed it, but it would soon be swallowed up by the fanatical wave of supporters.

"Anyway, I would never approve of someone who won this way." Lin Xingjie's expression was very dissatisfied, "If I can use super powers, I can directly fly to the finish line with Xiao An, but it doesn't make any sense to do that. "

  You can also fly the entire playground directly, or kill all other players, and then force the referee to award the victory to you. Xu Xiangyang secretly complained in his heart.

   "If you can't run, others can't run. It's normal if you can't run."

  The girl's voice was soft, but she could hear the seriousness in her tone.

   "Others work harder than me, have more talent than me, and should be stronger than me, especially those students who specialize in sports... But I have never thought of cheating by ability."

   "If everyone in this world thinks like you, there will probably not be so many disputes."

  Xu Xiangyang sighed with emotion, and then asked:

   "Then, what should I do next? Do you want to contact the other party?"

   "...I don't think this is necessary."

   Lin Xingjie muttered.

   "Anyway, we won't meet in the future, and I hate communicating with people who cheat like this."

indeed.

  If you are in the same school as that Jiang Lei, and see you without looking up, he might still want to say hello;

  But in different schools, you won’t be able to see it at the end of the sports meeting. There is really no reason to know it.

  However, if he really chooses to stay in this city to do supernatural work in the future, he might meet again.

  "What I am more worried about is whether this person will cause any problems and will it affect us."

  Xu Xiangyang stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully.

   "Using the power of psychics to cheat in the public arena is quite conspicuous in a sense. Why does he want to do this?"

   "You mean, that guy might have bad thoughts?"

   Lin Xingjie raised her eyebrows slightly.

   "Otherwise, let's teach him a lesson first? This is called preemptive strike."

   "...No, that doesn't have to be this level yet."

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head a little bit dumbfounded.

   "Maybe that guy simply wants to win in the game and wants to show off in front of others, so he used his own abilities."

   "What a boring idea."

  The girl's expression is even more unhappy.

   "Xingjie, even if you don't have to do anything, you are already very popular when you stand there, so you may not be able to understand the mentality of this kind of person."

  Xu Xiangyang is different.

  Of course, adolescent boys have fantasized about showing up in front of everyone, and he is also one of them.

To be honest, the reason why Xu Xiangyang studies hard is that although his original intention was to study hard for his own future and to share family responsibilities for his sister, and this is still the most important reason so far, he has to admit that he still has Vanity.

Get good grades in each big exam, be praised by the teacher in front of the whole class, share experience with the students on stage, be surrounded by students after class, ask questions, and have a copy of the transcript on your own The name hangs high above the head, I heard my name on the school broadcast, and I had the opportunity to speak in front of the entire school...All of this is something that can make people's hearts secret.

  For ordinary children who are not outstanding and have no special talents, studying hard and improving grades are the easiest way for high school students to attract attention and shine in the eyes of classmates and teachers.

   "I assume you are complimenting me." The girl glared at him.

  "I just praised you," Xu Xiangyang was a little surprised, and replied naturally, "I praise you for being beautiful."

  "……"

  This time, Lin Xingjie stopped talking.

   Seeing the long-haired girl lowering her head and wrapping her hand around her hair, Xu Xiangyang didn’t care, and continued:

"In short, when we were standing here just now, the guy didn't notice us. It shouldn't be directed at us...No, that's right," he suddenly became suspicious again, "still can't relax his vigilance. Maybe it's acting."

  In the absence of other clues, it is difficult to get exact answers to similar suspicions.

  Lin Xingjie suddenly raised her head, flushing still remained on her cheek, but her eyes became excited.

   "Sure enough, I still have to—"

  "Let’s watch the changes first," Xu Xiangyang made a decision, "I'll notify Qingyue and discuss it with her."

"I also--"

   Lin Xingjie dropped her shoulders, a little lost. After hearing Xu Xiangyang's words, she still wanted to follow but was stopped by him.

   "No, you should stay here. Isn't it your turn right away? Don't worry, I will pull her over on time to cheer you on."

"Yes indeed."

  The girl suddenly realized that she finally stood still. She obviously mentioned it first, but she had an expression that just remembered.

   "...Xingjie, you'd better have a snack, the score of our class depends on you."

  Xu Xiangyang was a little helpless, patted her on the shoulder, and walked in the direction of the auditorium.

  ……

  "Excuse me, is classmate Zhu Qingyue here?"

  Walking to the sign of Class 5, Xu Xiangyang raised his head and asked the students sitting in the front row of the steps.

  He is still a little nervous, after all, Zhu Qingyue used to take the initiative to find someone, and if he came to the door by himself, would he be treated differently——

   "She, went to the warehouse."

  The other party replied.

  Facts have proved that his self-awareness is too strong. People in Class 5 might not remember who he is.

  ……

  The warehouse of the stadium is just behind the layered concrete steps. The audience stand is facing the sun, and the warehouse is in the shade, dedicated to storing all kinds of sports equipment.

  At this time, the rows of huge pillars are empty.

   is just separated by a wall, and the temperature on both sides of the same building differs by more than one degree.

  Xu Xiangyang walked past the closed doors, and finally saw the squad leader standing quietly under the porch not far in front.

"You're here."

  Zhu Qingyue heard the sound of approaching footsteps and turned her head slightly. Seeing him, the girl's face burst into a happy smile.

"what are you doing here?"

  "Help with moving things, take a rest here after moving."

  The class leader and classmates put their hands behind, leaning against the concrete pillar.

   "Why, come to me suddenly, is Xingjie's project about to start?"

  Zhu Qingyue raised her head and looked at the top of the corridor, while asking, the girl's crisp voice echoed between the concrete walls, and she looked more and more ethereal.

   "Yes, but there are other things."

  Xu Xiangyang was a little puzzled, followed her to look over his head, but found nothing.

   "Anything else?"

   "There may be other psychics in the arena, they are from the No. 1 Middle School in the city," Xu Xiangyang looked serious, "Let's talk while walking."

   "Okay, wait for me first."

  Zhu Qingyue answered very simply, she retracted her gaze and walked forward.

  Xu Xiangyang was puzzled, and suddenly heard a creepy crawling sound from the top of his head.

  He raised his head again, this time seeing a howling and distorted face looking down at him in the shadow.

  ...That's the human face spider that was just summoned.

  The class leader opened the warehouse door to cover a gap.

   "The monster we caught in the supermarket is a type that requires an XZ body. If exposed to direct sunlight, it is easily traumatized. So I originally planned to hide them here."

  Zhu Qingyue turned her head and explained.

From her feet, a basketball slowly rolled out by itself, followed by the second and third, one after another, trying to squeeze out from the door. At first glance, they thought it was rolling off one by one. The human head on the ground.

   Then, they were kicked back decisively by the girl.

  Play basketball, plus the human face spider hanging on his head...

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt a little funny, because compared to the so-called “unknown threat,” Zhu Qingyue, surrounded by a group of monsters, was obviously the most terrifying and dangerous one.

  Furthermore, considering her terrifying maneuverability, there will be more and more weird things around the squad leader.

  However, perhaps because of this, every time he sees Zhu Qingyue’s pretty face with a soft smile, his mood can be relaxed.

   "Let's go?"

"Ok."

  In a place out of the sun’s rays, teenagers and girls walked side by side in the shadow of the eaves.
