Invade the World

  Chapter 158 Human Face

  Zhu Qingyue clapped her hands lightly.

   "Well, that's OK."

  Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief.

  However, the squad leader is obviously not willing to let him go so easily. She teased:

   "Xiang Yang, didn't you say you want to find clues? Just deal with it directly, and the information will be gone?"

   "No, do you really want to find that kind of monster... and rotting corpses?"

  Just to imagine such a scene, he couldn't help but shudder.

  Except for the evil spirits of maggots that suddenly popped out, Xu Xiangyang didn't even get close to observe the carrion. The reason is simple: he is unwilling.

  In addition to fear, there is also nausea. Just smelling the smell can't stand it.

  At first, Xu Xiangyang was worried that the squad leader next to him would think that he was too squeamish as a boy if he saw everything in his eyes; however, he couldn’t persuade himself at all because of some things.

  "On the one hand, I don't think they will give us information willingly, on the other hand..." Xu Xiangyang explained solemnly, "It's not that there is no clue."

"Oh?"

  "A very simple reasoning question."

  Xu Xiangyang raised his finger.

  "The psychic team has four members, that is, there will be four evil spirits that will be hatched. And the human face spider is in your hands, so there are three evil spirits and four corpses left in the haunted house."

   "The larval evil spirit just now is one-third of the hidden in the house. In other words, besides Song Deshou, there are two evil spirits remaining in this house."

   "Moreover, since it is known that half of the evil spirits appearing are in the form of insects and arthropods, it can be speculated that there are two remaining..."

   "It seems that Xiangyang has tried hard to think about it."

  The girl laughed.

   "But, what if there are more than four evil spirits? The number of people who died in this house may not be imaginable. And, have you forgotten that we had encountered insects more than once?"

  "...There is a difference between evil spirits and evil spirits."

  Xu Xiangyang frowned, he stroked his chin, his eyes fell on the human face spider who had been silently following them.

  Zhu Qingyue's eyes also looked at the twisted human face, and asked thoughtfully:

   "You mean, after the death of a psychic, the evil spirits that are infected by distant powers will be more dangerous than ordinary evil spirits?"

"Yes. Meng Zheng said to me that there are two types of evil spirits, one is the original creatures of another world, and the other is produced by the infection of consciousness after death. They are called human evil spirits. "

   "Song Deshou is definitely stronger than the other evil spirits in this house, and although your'No. 2'(Spider Evil) is not as good as Song Deshou, it can treat other insects as food."

   "Maybe, this is the peculiarity of them. The members of the psychic team were not ordinary people before they were alive, so they are better used?"

   "Is there any evidence?"

  "I just have such a feeling..."

   "Okay, let's go check it out and verify it."

   After all, Zhu Qingyue did not wait for his reply, grabbed his wrist, dragged the reluctant boy and walked straight ahead.

  ...As a result, it is unavoidable to be forced to check.

Xu Xiangyang reluctantly followed Zhu Qingyue until he passed by the rotten corpse that was smashed to pieces-this time it was really only a mass of wet and rotten meat left, and finally came to the maggot killed by the girl. In front of the monster.

  The connection between the evil spirit and the corpse had been broken, and most of the bloated body was lying on the ground quietly, with his hideous mouthparts open and motionless. There were traces of viscous body fluids spraying around, and it was not known whether it came from a carrion or an evil spirit.

  Xu Xiangyang put his hand on his forehead, even though he was mentally prepared, the scene before him was still a bit miserable.

"come over."

  Zhu Qingyue said softly, she beckoned behind her.

  The human-faced spider rustled up from the ceiling, and after landing on the ground, stretched out its elongated limbs, turning the dead body of the same kind over.

"what……"

  Xu Xiangyang's eyes widened.

  The squad leader patted him on the back as if celebrating victory, with a pleasant smile in his voice.

   "It seems that you guessed right."

  The maggot evil spirits that were turned over showed their white abdomens. On both sides of the fat body was a row of attached feet that were significantly shrinking compared with the huge body, growing densely on both sides.

  However, this is not the point of the problem.

  ——On the evil spirit’s abdomen, there is a very obvious scar or mark. If you look closely, you will find that it is a silhouette that vaguely resembles a human face.

  Even though the main body is dead, the human face mark is still twisted and wriggling like a living thing, looming on the body of the evil spirit.

  Human Face Spider also noticed this scene. I don’t know if it’s because of the existence of the same kind, the wailing face on its abdomen became more distorted, and it screamed uneasy.

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer, and took out a few one-inch photos from his pocket.

  This is obtained from the luggage left by the psychic team. He took out the photos in the relevant documents and put them together with drinking water and emergency food, because these are things Xu Xiangyang thinks will be needed in this operation.

  He sternly opened his one-inch photo in his palm, comparing it with the face on the abdomen of the maggot monster.

   "...Yes, this person is one of them."

  After a while, he replied solemnly.

  It seems that the members of the psychic squad have all been transformed into such monsters with human faces.

  Compared with ordinary possessed insects, their power is stronger, but they are not as good as the old man in the haunted house. I don’t know if it’s because they didn’t retain the human form, but because they merged with the alien.

   "In this way, the special evil spirits that are transformed after death are not considered Song Deshou. There are two dead in this house, one male and one female, right?"

"Yes."

  Xu Xiangyang put the remaining two photos in his pocket.

  "All we have to do is to deal with them first."

  Ordinary worms are not to be feared, but evil spirits transformed from psychics after death may have some special abilities, which are relatively more dangerous.

  For the old man in the haunted house, they are the most powerful tools, so special evil spirits are sent to test them. Destroying them is equivalent to cutting off Song Deshou's wings.

  In this way, the old man in the haunted house will have to come out sooner or later and face the two of them in person.

   "We haven't encountered other evil spirits on our way. Song Deshou probably made this idea."

  How many ordinary worms come to send food, so Song Deshou chooses to integrate himself with the haunted house, and pin the hope of killing the two invaders on the dead psychic team.

  "Does this mean that there are indeed more powerful types of the remaining two evil spirits, which Song Deshou thinks is sufficient to deal with us?"

  Zhu Qingyue laughed without fear.

  The confident and calm smile on the girl's face is dazzling.

  Looking at her like this, Xu Xiangyang somehow reminded Xu Xiangyang of a galloping and brave long-haired girl.

  When he saw Lin Xingjie’s posture, the excitement that emerged in his heart was quite similar to this moment...

  He suddenly felt that his face was a little red, and put his hand on the edge of his mouth, covering up his expression.

  At this time, Zhu Qingyue asked again.

  "I have a question. Why are the images of these evil spirits all worms and arthropods? Similar types appear in a haunted house like this. There should always be a reason."

   "Evil spirits are creatures in another world, and the ecological environment should not be on par with the real world."

  "But they are really similar. We have seen centipedes, spiders and maggots. What will we see later."

  Girls with short hair have an enthusiastic look, and they don’t have the disgusting reaction of ordinary women when they see insects.

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer this question, but in his mind, he had the same question:

  Yes, why are they all bugs?

   is not just because of doubts about the status quo. Even more because...

After   , there will probably be more ugly worms.

After realizing this, his expression was somewhat ugly.

   "Xiangyang, are you afraid of bugs?"

  She grabbed her arm and pressed a pretty face to her, curiosity in her clear eyes.

   "I... I can't be called scared, I just feel sick and don't want to get close."

  Xu Xiangyang subconsciously looked away from the girl's face.

   "It seems like it was a miscalculation to let you accompany me to this room. I had known Xingjie to accompany me."

   "Isn't she making up the homework?" Xu Xiangyang said, "What's more, she hates bugs as much, so it's better to say that indifferent talents like you are scarce."

   "It doesn't matter to me."

  Zhu Qingyue smiled, and soon changed the subject.

   "You said it is a larva, is there a reason?"

  "On the one hand, it is relatively weak because of its strength."

  Xu Xiangyang pointed to the front.

   "On the other hand, I can feel that there is a vague and superficial connection between the two."

  Since not knowing when, the human-faced spider has pounced on the maggot corpse lying on the ground, feasting on the remains of the evil spirit killed by Zhu Qingyue.

  If this larva can grow, which one will it become? Centipede, spider, or something else?

  All this is now unknown.

  ……

  After clearing the second special evil spirit, Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue continued to move forward.

  Don’t worry about finding the way, because this haunted house is controlled by Song Deokshou, and the other party is eager to kill himself.

  So, it will definitely send its two remaining "right assistants" to the door.

  All Xu Xiangyang needs to do is to be vigilant and be prepared before the opponent attacks.

  Just like animals emit pheromones when hunting, the malicious spirits emitted by evil spirits cannot escape his perception.

  As for the reason why the old man in the haunted house is so anxious and wants to do something, Xu Xiangyang can guess how much.

  It's nothing more than because Song Yao, his grandson, is still controlled by the line of the squad leader.

  If it doesn’t want to kill Zhu Qingyue, the noose around Song Yao’s neck will not be untied, just like a sickle of death hanging from a person’s neck, and it may take his life at any time.

  Xu Xiangyang walked forward slowly, taking out photos from time to time, and remembering the appearance of a man and a woman in his heart;

  And Zhu Qingyue walked lightly not far ahead. He heard the humming from the girl in front of him, and the melodious singing echoed on the quiet promenade.

  Sir squad leader's voice is naturally called Wanhuan, but he can't hear any tunes.

  ... She is in high spirits.

  Xu Xiangyang thought.

  He is about to be immune to the squad leader’s calm attitude. In this case, she can behave calmly, but Xu Xiangyang is actually quite happy.

  Especially when you are in a dangerous situation, everyone hopes to have such an extremely reliable friend by his side, right?

  If the girl who accompanies me now is the kind of girl who only knows how to scream when he meets something, he would be miserable. Because Xu Xiangyang realized that he might not be so courageous...

  As long as she doesn’t make too much noise. However, Xu Xiangyang believes in Zhu Qingyue's self-control ability.

  There is no road ahead, it is a turning point.

  Xu Xiangyang walked across the corner while pondering. At this moment, he suddenly froze for a while.

  Can't hear the singing anymore.

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head and looked forward.

Huh?

  For some reason, the girl who had been walking in front disappeared under his nose.

  He quickly looked around, but still no one was seen.

  Xu Xiangyang's mouth twitched slightly.

  ...Do this trick again?

  However, how did the other party do it? Is it really an evil spirit at work? He obviously didn't notice the strange aura approaching at all.

"Snapped!"

  Xu Xiangyang frowned, and when he was about to turn his head, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

   "...!"

  He shrank his neck in shock, only to see Zhu Qingyue standing behind him, pointing to his nose and laughing.

  Is it hiding by the door?

  "Don't scare people!"

  She laughed happily.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't laugh, and his frown never let go.

  I was worried just now that it might be too much...Is the current squad leader too much to let himself go?

  Although she has always liked to make jokes about herself, her steady personality is not a pretense. Even when she is joking, she will not make people feel frivolous, nor will she casually do meaningless and boring things like just now.

   "Be careful."

   Xu Xiangyang warned.

   "The other party has tried us several times. This is not for no reason. Maybe it is thinking about how to deal with us."

  The girl waved her hand indifferently.

   "Don't worry, it's okay, leave it to me."

  It’s a trick to eat fresh all over the sky, and soldiers will come to cover the water and earth...That’s how it is said, but it is necessary to be vigilant.

   "——I will protect you."

  She said so.

  If Zhu Qingyue in the past said such a thing, he would probably feel shocked, but Xu Xiangyang was just silent now.

  After this episode, the two continue to move forward.

  This time, Xu Xiangyang walked in front, and Zhu Qingyue walked slowly behind.

  The girl stared at the back of the young man in front of her, her lips turned upward, her mouth split like a crescent, revealing Bai Sensen’s teeth...
