Invade the World

  Chapter 166 "I will try to make you cry"

   "...a showdown?"

   "Yes, through the game."

"Oh?"

  The girl raised her eyes, her pupils smiling.

   "Just as we agreed to decide the winner and loser in terms of results, this time it is to decide who is right and who is wrong."

  Xu Xiangyang said.

  As he expected, after hearing these words, Zhu Qingyue really showed a look of interest.

  "What about the specific content?"

  She did not immediately agree, but as long as she is willing to listen, the plan is essentially equivalent to success.

  "Who can first find out the way to leave this haunted house is the winner. You have to listen to whoever wants to do it in the future."

  Xu Xiangyang gave a concise and clear answer.

The squad leader shook his head after thinking for a moment.

   "I have no reason to agree to you. I just want to ensure your safety. It will do no harm to anyone..."

   "——That means you don’t believe me, right?"

  He interrupted her.

  "The result of this competition itself is a proof of what I can do. If I beat you, you need to reflect on your own practices and decide whether to look at me with a new look."

  Xu Xiangyang half-speaking with a serious expression, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, showing a smile.

   "What's more, even if you don't mention these serious reasons, I believe you will agree."

"Yes?"

   "You don't believe in me, but you believe in yourself."

  Xu Xiangyang said confidently.

  "——I think, "Zhu Qingyue", this person will not refuse any challenge, right?"

  The short-haired girl was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly.

   "No, I'm just not good at rejecting you."

  Xu Xiangyang raised his brows lightly.

   "Really? I don't believe it."

   "Believe it or not." The squad leader sighed, "I really made a lot of effort before I made up my mind to do something that you hate."

   "I don't doubt it..."

  Xu Xiangyang scratched his head.

   "However, I don't think you are'not good at'."

  No matter what the girl thought of his proposal from the bottom of her heart, she finally chose to accept her challenge.

  He can see that the squad leader is full of confidence in his abilities. This confidence is not without reason--

  The ability of "line" is not only in power, but also symbolizes omnipotence.

  If it is a problem that Zhu Qingyue can't solve, other people will probably not be able to complete it. Regardless of whether it is a battlefield of head-on confrontation, ordinary psychics or psychics, even if they form a team, can hardly reach her height.

  This is because the squad leader can easily manipulate plural evil spirits, and the number advantage becomes meaningless in front of her.

  Xu Xiangyang knows her strength well, but still has the confidence to win the battle.

  ……I have to have it.

  Xu Xiangyang raised his hand and stretched his fist over.

  Zhu Qingyue stared at him suspiciously.

   "This is an agreement."

  He explained.

   "The last time we made an appointment with Xingjie, we did that."

"good."

   Hearing this, Zhu Qingyue no longer hesitated, raised her hand and gently touched him with a fist.

  The two are like knights who have agreed on the occasion and time of the duel.

   "I can't lose."

she says.

   "So, if you lose at that time, don't be shameless, and listen to me obediently in the future."

   "I always do what I say."

  He was not angry, and answered calmly.

  Some things can't be trusted by words, but the key lies in the action.

   "You seem to be excited."

  Zhu Qingyue looked at his pupils, more energetic than before.

  Although at the beginning, the girl was still eager to refuse, but she herself should like this plan very much.

  "This is the first time I saw you showing this expression. It's not the same as when I lost to me in the monthly exam last time."

"The test scores are not better than others, I just feel unwilling." Xu Xiangyang's mind flashed, and he said the cool lines that he had just thought of, "but the agreed battle with friends is the absolute best. You can't lose."

   "Hehe, Xiangyang, you said something very handsome, and the expression is also very cool, I really like you very much."

  The girl smiled contentedly. The squad leader, who no longer concealed his actions and feelings, responded with lines similar to those of the evil organization female villain in the cartoon:

  "But I also like the unwilling expression you showed when you lost to me last month's exam. I look forward to the result of this competition, Xiangyang. This time, I will try my best to make you cry."

  *

  Xu Xiangyang prepared some food and luggage with him, got up and left the room again.

  Zhu Qingyue did not follow his footsteps.

  Of course, this is because he is still being led by the girl with lines at the moment. No matter where he goes, as long as she notices something wrong, he will immediately be unable to move, and may even be dragged back...

  Since it was a victory or defeat, both sides would naturally go all out. It was impossible for him to ask the squad leader to let her loosen his restraints.

  Even if she could agree to him, she would think "Is your determination only this level?" and felt disappointed. It would be meaningless to decide the outcome.

  Be sure to get results that can convince girls.

However, he chose to use the abilities of both parties to conduct a duel. As a result, even if he was really lucky and found a clue that might allow the two to leave the haunted house, the squad leader who used the "line" behind the scenes to manipulate his own squad leader had a chance. Grab it in advance.

  If it is Xingjie, you may feel that "this is cheating" will not choose to do so, and that is not necessarily the case for Qingyue.

  The serious squad leader is terrible, and Xu Xiangyang believes that she will unscrupulously make herself agree with her approach.

  From this perspective, Xu Xiangyang has completely fallen into a disadvantage before the start of the game.

  ...There is no way, he took the initiative to choose to become the enemy and opponent of the squad leader.

  How reliable a girl is as a companion, on the other hand, how bad it is to stand on the opposite side of her.

  What he has to endure now is exactly what past enemies such as the old man in the haunted house have deeply experienced-the huge disparity in strength and the huge mental pressure brought about.

  In spite of this, Xu Xiangyang did not rashly challenge Zhu Qingyue without taking these into consideration.

  He was in deep distress. After meeting the last victim of the psychic team in the room, he suddenly had some guesses and decided to take a gamble.

   is not only to resolve the conflict between him and Zhu Qingyue, but also to leave this haunted house as soon as possible.

  "Whether the game is good or challenging, it is only interesting if it is difficult. I never knew you, and regarded you as a competitor without authorization, Qingyue."

  Xu Xiangyang muttered to himself.

   Zhu Qingyue’s last words made him feel dumbfounded.

  He won’t cry because of such trivial things. On the contrary, it was her... Xu Xiangyang tried hard to think about the girl crying and pears raining in her mind, but it was a pity that she didn't succeed.

  This is a matter of course. After all, even if he could really win, Qingyue wouldn't cry for it.

  However, if I could see her dejected because of losing to myself, it would be great...

  He began to look forward to it.

  ……

  Xu Xiangyang walked back to the safe house again.

  He stood at the door, carefully looking inside.

Sure enough, the female ghost in the orange jacket stood there quietly, motionless, maintaining the posture where Xu Xiangyang left when she left.

  Xu Xiangyang walked a few steps in.

  He squatted down and stretched out his fingers to touch the floor that was infiltrated by the water droplets flowing from the female ghost. As a result, the feedback he got after touching his fingertips was a whole piece of dry wood.

  So, Xu Xiangyang became more convinced of his guess.

  He didn't feel the smell of evil spirits on the opponent, so even if Zhu Qingyue discovered the abnormality here, her thread would not have any effect.

  The female ghost does not actually exist, it is just a phantom. It is a phantom recorded through this communication device, just like the corpse soaked in the female bathtub...

  Xu Xiangyang stood up again, walked to the other side, and faced her face to face.

  The female ghost's pupils have no focal length, and the empty sight from the gray pupils does not know where she is looking.

  This guy seems to be intellectual—because when Xu Xiangyang asked her "if there is something to say to me", the female ghost in the jacket indeed nodded...but it was just a look.

  The more likely answer is that the Phantom does not possess wisdom, but only a few fragments of personality and consciousness left behind, like a kind of stress response, a mechanical device that will respond when a keyword is mentioned.

   "Hmm."

  Xu Xiangyang raised the corners of his mouth.

  He took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and wrote down all the sights he had seen in this room just now, and his own speculations.

  After finishing writing, Xu Xiangyang still admired it under the light for a while.

  I am really a gentleman, he thought.

  Yes, he intends to leave this note for Zhu Qingyue.

  Since she is going to face her face-to-face, carry it through to the end.

  ——The real key is that under normal circumstances, people and evil spirits cannot communicate.

  Even if you know that the female ghost will not hurt yourself, there must be some special reason in it, but if there is no way to communicate with it, this discovery is meaningless.

  However, Xu Xiangyang is an exception.

   "Take me over."

  He put down the pen and said to the phantom in front of him.

  "Thorn--thorn--"

  Obviously no one has pressed the play button, but this communication device automatically started to emit sound.

   Accompanied by the noisy background sound, the ghost’s phantom "walala" trembled, like a piece of paper that was blown away by the wind, and the body was turbulent, and then disappeared completely.

  Xu Xiangyang stopped hesitating, closed his eyes again, and caught the countless white lines in the surrounding air...

  ……

  Following the results obtained after channeling, I found the target in a room with thousands of articles. There, he once again met a female ghost wearing a pale yellow jacket.

  It’s just that this time it is the real body of the evil spirit.

  Xu Xiangyang opened the door, and when he saw her, the first sentence was:

  "Relax, my companion did not follow. As long as you are not going to hurt me, she will not find you."

  The female ghost sat on the chair, did not speak, just watched him quietly.

  Xu Xiangyang doesn’t know if she can understand her. However, the other party couldn't answer, but he was able to guess a general idea about the future of the dragon.

  The reason why the other party wants to pass by the front of the room quickly while the two are asleep is to remind them: There is more than one evil spirit left in this house!

  To be so circumspect, but still reluctant to meet them directly, the reason is also very simple: it is to avoid Zhu Qingyue.

  According to the personality of the squad leader, when she finds evil spirits, she will definitely choose to do it the first time.

  Of course there is nothing wrong with this approach, but if the other party is not malicious and just wants to convey information, then it is a bit embarrassing.

  The female ghosts have always followed their movements secretly, and have some understanding of their practices and personalities, so they evade——

  Before stepping into this house, the above thoughts were all his speculations; but after stepping into the house, he became convinced.

  Because this was the first time he met the evil spirit after seeing a living person, but he did not rush over, but chose to stay where he was.

On the twisted and pale face of the female ghost, the black hole opened her mouth slowly:

   "...help...help me..."

  The hoarse and gloomy voice echoed in the room.

  Xu Xiangyang hesitated.

  He has a lot of questions to ask: for example, why the other party can remain relatively rational, and has not become a monster like her companion; for example, does she know how to get out of this house, etc.

  He only needs to raise his hand to know the answers to these questions.

  But if you use psychic power without saying anything, it always feels a bit wrong.

   "Thank you," he said, "My friend is indeed a troublesome person. You have been wandering here to deliver news to those who have the opportunity to leave or destroy this haunted house?"

  "Help...help me..."

  Xu Xiangyang sighed, raised his hand towards the female ghost who could only repeat the same sentence with pain on her face, and issued the final notice.

   "You... won't resist me, right?"

  He asked in a cautious tone.

  If the last time on Teacher Yang, the last-minute attempt was not counted, this is the first time Xu Xiangyang has done it seriously and went all out.

  He wants to prove his ability and hates being controlled by his friends in the name of "protecting you", but it does not mean that he will not be careful. Taking risks is one thing, making jokes about your own life is another.

  However, an evil spirit who has not shown malicious intent on himself is an unprecedented good opportunity and should not be missed.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that his chest was getting a little stuffy.

  I don’t know if it was because of being blocked by Zhu Qingyue. When he really wanted to make a move, he was even more nervous than before——

  ...And excitement.

  Come on, let me see how far I can do it!

  The tentacles of consciousness suddenly expanded.

  There was no such fierce confrontation when he tried to psychic the old man in the haunted house. When Xu Xiangyang’s consciousness touched the female ghost, he easily entered the other party’s "world"——

  *

  Xu Xiangyang opened his eyes.

  He found himself sitting in an off-road vehicle parked on the edge of the road.

  Looking sideways, the car windows reflected the endless darkness of the night, large drops of water falling down, and the woman's slightly pale face.

  It's rainy and overcast.

   "What's wrong, Young-soo, are you still stupid?"

  The young man who sat with her, adjusted his head, and looked quite energetic, smiled and talked to her.

   "We are going to enter the haunted house soon."

  The middle-aged man sitting in the driver’s seat stuffed the walkie-talkie into the jacket pocket of the jacket, turned his head and said to the three team members in the car:

   "Ready to act."
