Invade the World

  Chapter 117 "Xingjie, come on!"

  At the feet of the boy named Jiang Lei, something was winding and twisting like a snake. It can be seen from the amplitude and frequency that this thing is full of crazy vitality.

The black "wings" that grew out of his feet before the start were obviously of the same composition as the ones he saw before. At first glance, they look like shadows covering the ground, but in fact they are some kind of pitch black and flat. substance.

  —That is a "leg".

  Although the appearance has become distorted, it is indeed a leg, thin and dry, like a human leg that has been stretched and covered with a layer of dark feathers.

This line crossed the outer boundary of the runway and spread to the plastic ground on the inner side. It quickly passed halfway, and the strange foot twisted and kicked the ground uncontrollably, splashing a small canopy of red plastic. Particles.

   Ordinary people around the arena can't see the existence of dark shadows. Even if they can notice this scene, they will at most just be puzzled and won't take it to heart.

  But in the eyes of Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue, it is too conspicuous.

  Although he still doesn’t know the specific purpose of this guy, he certainly doesn’t plan to do anything good.

  Are you ready to hurt ordinary people in the public? This guy is quite courageous, really think he will have no trouble?

  But Xu Xiangyang is no longer in the mood to consider the other party's ideas.

   Actually... dare to do such a thing—

  The opponent's approach will affect Lin Xingjie, who is standing among the players, which is the reason for his anger.

  However, although Xu Xiangyang was really angry, he still maintained the most basic calm.

  When he saw Zhu Qingyue preparing to do something, he stopped her.

   "Qingyue, if you directly attack with evil spirits, the impact will be too great."

   "It's true." The squad leader nodded in agreement, "Then what are you going to do?"

   "Leave it to me here."

  Xu Xiangyang answered in a deep voice.

   "You go to say hello to Xingjie, let her leave it alone, just run away."

  Although the guy maliciously used his psychic abilities, it is very likely to affect Lin Xingjie, but he certainly did not think that this practice would really harm the girl.

  It’s just that Lin Xingjie who noticed this incident would be very angry, and because of her character, she would definitely not choose to avoid, but directly rushed over.

   Still the same problem, Xiao An’s noise was too loud. Once Xingjie gets angry, she might destroy everything around her regardless.

"good."

  Zhu Qingyue nodded.

  But before she left, the girl brought her face closer again, her voice was very slight, but with a sharp smile.

  "Do you regret it? It's too late to change your mind."

"what?"

  "It’s the suggestion that Xingjie and I mentioned. Take preemptive measures. Just find a place where no one is going to teach that guy a meal, so that he doesn’t dare to do anything wrong."

   Zhu Qingyue’s pupils flashed with an inexplicable look, almost like a devil’s whisper, tempting him to do bad things.

   "...I will teach him."

  In this regard, Xu Xiangyang replied briefly.

  He does not want to cause too much movement, because he hopes to continue to live the life like this with his friends, without being affected by too much external force.

  But if the culprit doesn’t have to bear any punishment, he just lives on like this... His capacity is not that big.

   Seeing Zhu Qingyue leave, Xu Xiangyang silently walked to the center of the crowd, covering up his sense of existence, while quietly raising his hand.

  This is the first time that he has used psychic abilities against evil spirits controlled by psychics.

  Whether it is Xiao An or the evil spirit controlled by the squad leader's "line", Xu Xiangyang dare not try it out of cautious consideration.

  But if someone else...he feels confident of trying.

  Xu Xiangyang closed his eyes.

  The tentacles of consciousness extend out again.

  No need to go deep.

  It is too dangerous to go deep into the spiritual world like Teacher Yang, who was possessed by the psychic last time.

  Just use his self-consciousness to suppress it.

  Just do it neatly!

  *

  At the same time, Jiang Lei, standing on the other side of the runway, was concentrating on manipulating his evil spirit to make it lurking on the runway.

  This state is still quite dangerous. Fortunately, no one else could see the evil spirit, and thought he was just in a daze.

  He wanted to do this for a simple reason: there was a girl from No. 1 middle school among the players who had a relationship with him, so he planned to help her.

  If he didn't stand here to prepare, but could get closer and see Lin Xingjie, maybe he would change his mind.

   But now, what Jiang Lei has to do has not changed.

If he has a deeper control of the evil spirits, he can help a specific target as he used his abilities to help him get the first place in the game; but now, he has no way to allow the evil spirits to attach to other people’s bodies. , And does not cause any negative effects.

  So, he can only do the opposite, interfere with other players, so that the selected target can stand out.

  This is also not an easy task, because he still has to control his strength to avoid being noticed by others.

  I'm the most benevolent, even if I break up in the future, I won't be a scumbag, right? He thought to himself.

   "Only this level will not be noticed."

   Just as Xu Xiangyang guessed, Jiang Lei found out that he had been a psychic for some time and had been registered for a long time.

The difference is that after confirming that he possesses the qualifications of "Class B psychics", Jiang Lei agreed without thinking about the staff’s invitation and participated in several related tests and group trainings, so he has a better understanding of official institutions than Xu Xiangyang and others. deeper.

  If Jiang Lei really hurts people maliciously, he will definitely not be able to eat it afterwards, even if he has great potential...No, it is precisely because he is deemed to have great potential, so the punishment and supervision afterwards will be stricter.

  Because the influence of powerful psychic power is two-fold, and it can become a force that guarantees social stability, and it may also become the most dangerous social instability.

  If he gets caught after doing this kind of thing, the little things he did before will be revealed; it is also very likely that he will be sent to a juvenile office specially built for people like them.

  Jiang Lei is just a high school student and has no anti-social personality. Of course, he doesn’t want things to become like that.

  But if you just let your evil spirits attach to the players for a while and interfere with them...

  This is what he is best at. His evil spirit is the person who once died on the runway, so Jiang Lei dared to act so boldly.

  ...

  According to the general knowledge of international academia, the aptitudes of psychics are all born, and the more special "group" of psychics—psychics are also the same.

  The condition for the awakening of the psychic ability is to be subjected to various forms of supernatural "stimulation": the more common is to encounter evil spirits, psychics, and possessors, or to break into a haunted house.

Therefore, psychics and psychics can indeed be stimulated in batches artificially. As Meng Zheng once suggested to Zhou Xingjian, as long as he is asked to act, it will soon be possible to detect whether ordinary people like Li Qinglian have psychics. Or psychic qualifications.

  After being stimulated, due to the different ways of awakening, the birth of psychics can be roughly divided into two types:

  One is the connection between the psychic and the evil spirit, which existed long before, but it was not revealed. Therefore, after awakening, evil spirits from another world will naturally appear. This situation is also called "innate spirit medium";

  The other is the connection between the stimulus itself and the psychic, that is, the psychic born of the day after tomorrow, and Jiang Lei is the latter.

  The cause of the incident was half a year ago. Because he has the habit of long-distance running in the morning, for a while, every time Jiang Lei got up in the morning on weekends, he would sneak into a disused campus near his home, which was said to be about to be demolished, and exercise on the playground over there.

  The main reason is that the city No. 1 Middle School is far away from his home, and there is no one else in the abandoned campus, so it can be clean.

  Jiang Lei later learned that the old campus was actually a rather unstable "haunted house" area, and several trespassers had already died.

  And on the track he often uses, it is said that an athlete once died. It is rumored that he died because of overtraining and exhaustion. The man ran at night alone, and finally died on the runway. The body was only found by school workers the next morning.

  Affected by the power of the haunted house, a new evil spirit was born on this dead runway, which almost killed Jiang Lei, the hapless ignorant who broke into it.

  After being rescued by the official psychic team that arrived at the time, he was fortunate to establish contact with the evil spirits.

  Achieving Grade B evaluation in the "Special Professional Test for Youth" shows that he is fully capable of working in the front line in the future, becoming the backbone of the urban investigation team or action team, and even being transferred to a more critical related department.

   Such talents are precious wherever they are placed, and they have a great future. Therefore, Jiang Lei has been intensively trained and has slowly learned how to manipulate evil spirits while avoiding negative effects.

  The black strange feet currently controlled by Jiang Lei are part of the body of the evil spirit under his control.

  According to the test results, it is a typical human evil spirit.

  The special abilities of such evil spirits are often affected by the deceased’s life. For example, one's own evil spirit possesses the dual characteristics of making people run faster and making people exhausted to death.

  This kind of super ability born for running is his confidence to use ability to cheat on the field.

   "Come on, let's start!"

   Jiang Lei, who was ready, thought in his heart.

  Now, as long as you pass a place covered by the power of evil spirits, people will be drawn from physical strength and feel tired, and the speed of running will naturally slow down.

  This effect is immediate, but it will not cause damage to people, and it will recover after a sleep. The victims will not suspect that they have been attacked, they will only feel that they are in a bad state today.

  The gun has not sounded yet.

   Jiang Lei silently read the countdown.

   But suddenly, he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

  He raised his head and looked around, but found nothing. The air around him solidified, as if an invisible threat was approaching—

   "No...wait!"

  Jiang Lei was horrified to find that his evil spirit suddenly lost control, and the strange feet that had been quietly lurking violently twitched again;

  At the same time, a strong sense of discomfort surgingly hit him, as if to drag him into a huge and deep vortex.

"what happened to you?"

The classmates beside    quickly noticed his sweaty and pale face.

   "I, I'm fine—"

  At this time, Jiang Lei instinctively wanted to regain control, but the sudden discomfort became more intense.

  The brain stabbed like a needle, the strength in his body quickly disappeared like water vapor, and a deep sense of fatigue came from all over the body.

  It’s almost...it’s almost as if I was hit by the trick...

   Watching his evil spirit disappear into the air, there was only this last thought in his mind, and then his eyes went dark and his body fell softly.

   "Hey, Jiang Lei? Jiang Lei? Are you okay?!"

"what happened to him?"

   "Quickly, send it to the infirmary!"

  Noisy human voices came from his ears, but his hearing quickly became blurred like his vision. In the end, he couldn't feel anything...

  *

  Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue, who had returned to him a long time ago, stood in the crowd, holding their breath, waiting for the gunfire to sound like the people nearby.

   Twenty minutes ago, just as the game was about to start, there was a sudden hustle and bustle near the runway.

  Everyone sent away a boy who was in a coma in public. After a while, the women’s 400m race finally started again.

"boom!"

  The referee fired.

  It was like pressing a button, and as the girls on the starting line set off, the otherwise silent crowd suddenly burst into cheering and shouting.

"come on…"

  Xu Xiangyang couldn’t let go at first, his voice was weak, but he soon heard a clear and loud "Xingjie, come on!"

  He turned his head and took a look, Zhu Qingyue was putting his hands to his mouth, yelling like a trumpet.

  The surrounding students were yelling, and Xu Xiangyang's voice became louder unconsciously under the influence of this atmosphere.

  —"Xingjie, come on!"

  The girl running in the front galloped past him, the dark ponytail fluttering in the wind, passing by the tip of his nose.

  The eyes of the young girl meet at this moment.

  ...

  Lin Xingjie put her hands on her hips, took a deep breath, and walked slowly back along the finish line.

  Xu Xiangyang ran forward and handed her the water.

  The girl twisted the lid, raised her head, pouring a few salivas into her throat in a bold gesture.

  Her braids have been untied, and a few strands of hair are stuck to her smooth forehead by sweat. The crystal water droplets flow along the lips and chin, splashing water stains on the clothes.

  The girl's blushing face was covered with sweat or mineral water, shining in the sun.

   "Hoo~"

  Lin Xingjie let out a long sigh. Before Xu Xiangyang said "congratulations", she took the lead in speaking.

"thanks."

  Xu Xiangyang knew what she was referring to, smiled and shook his head.

"This is what I should do."
