Invade the World

  Chapter 325 "Want to go the same way as you."

  When Lin Xingjie was about to return to her own home, she stopped halfway.

  A pair of slender eyebrows were slightly raised, her gaze looked into an open door beside her, a little dim light was revealed from it, and the meandering shadow stretched on the ground.

  This is another "home" of oneself—or rather, the home that was once.

  There are traces of moss on the wet, uneven stone steps. The traces on the wooden door seemed ordinary, but they felt familiar to the girl.

  Here are the dents she used to kick out with her shoes, and the other side was smashed out with a ball when she was a child; a half of the door frame has fallen off, probably the "wound" left by the door after numerous slams...

It has been ten years since Lin Xingjie’s father disappeared, and the day she and her mother Lin Suya moved to this city from their hometown.

  As childhood memories have become blurred, it can be said that since Lin Xingjie came to know, she grew up in this alley, and this is her hometown.

   Lin Xingjie was in a daze for a while.

In fact, remembering things like this in the past, except for the lucky ones who have had a smooth life, ordinary people always find it complicated, difficult, and bittersweet. There will be proud moments when they want to straighten their chests, and there are also embarrassment and regrets when they think about it now. The moment.

  What's more, she is not yet old enough to look at the past sufferings with peace of mind. The pressure brought by family and living environment, day after day of hopelessness, still seems to happen "yesterday" for girls.

  When Lin Xingjie was a child, she always had a harder life than her peers around her. Growing up in a family with an orphan and widow, as a minor girl, she needs to learn how to take care of herself alone, and she must be careful everywhere to ensure she is not harmed;

  If you compare the sweet and sour entangled time with Xu Xiangyang, those days will undoubtedly look even more bleak.

  However, the days of living with her mother are, after all, an inseparable part of her life.

  Now Lin Xingjie already has the ability to protect herself. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the choice to return to the only relative in this world is not a bad thing. Maybe she can let her mother live a good new life...

  It’s just that she has her own way to go.

   Admitted to the same university with her lover and friend, this is the goal of Lin Xingjie secretly.

  She is determined and will not waver.

  Although to this day, this ideal that should have been achievable on the board, it seems that there has also been a little accident...

  Lin Xingjie was unconsciously immersed in the memory, and walked for a while; then, she suddenly heard the shout from the door.

  What is that sound?

   "...!"

  The girl subconsciously covered her forehead

  I don’t know if it was an illusion, she actually heard a woman crying.

  Sorrowful, weeping, crying full of pain and regret.

  This voice gradually overlapped with a voice in Lin Xingjie’s memories.

  When she was still a primary school student, she could hear her mother crying in the middle of the night almost every once in a while.

  A woman who once did not touch the sun with her fingers, now she has to shoulder the burden of the family alone, running around for work and housework day and night, taking care of herself and her daughter. The bitterness of single mothers is not good for outsiders. Lin Suya often misses the happiness of the past, complains about abandoning her husband who has evaporated from the world, and washes her face with tears all day long.

   Thinking of the experience at that time, Lin Xingjie's heart suddenly surged with anger.

  She has always been upset about her mother’s weak personality. At first, she would feel that this woman was very pitiful, but over time, she would inevitably feel bored and resentful.

  Parents should take good care of and protect their children and be responsible for guiding them on the right path; while children should be considerate of their parents’ hard work, which is what a parent-child relationship should be.

  But it may be due to incompetence or personality. The two sides with gaps in age, experience, and mentality can never do this perfectly. The conflicts in the family are caused by this.

  When a person lives for the whole life, things are unsatisfactory, and not everything can be justified by reason.

  For Lin Xingjie, who has gradually grown up from a young girl to a young girl, a woman who only knows how to cry and can’t bear the responsibility of being a parent, she really doesn’t want to give a good face.

   But even so—

  As she said to Lin Suya before, that woman is her own mother after all, and she will not let it go anyway.

  Lin Suya is an irresponsible mother, but Lin Xingjie is not an irresponsible daughter.

  The reason why my mother still hides at home crying is because—

No way…

  This bastard! Obviously I let him go!

   Anger was in his heart, the surrounding turbid current surging fiercely and surgingly, Lin Xingjie kicked in without hesitation.

  At this critical moment, there will only be one result of intense emotional ups and downs, and that is superpowers runaway and out of control—

  But she can no longer take care of this.

  *

  The light in the room is dim and dim,

  A man is crawling in the corner, his body is tall and strong, his body is curled up.

  He turned his back to himself, and made a weird noise of "cack **** cock", like a wild wolf repeatedly sharpening his sharp teeth.

   Lin Xingjie was taken aback.

  She looked around, but she did not see her mother.

  Before the girl could react to what it meant, the man seemed to have sniffed the smell of people and stood up from the corner.

  The lamp hanging down from the ceiling was hit by the man’s head and dangling back and forth; he was like a magic mountain, casting a shadow on the girl.

  She can only look up.

  The man's face was familiar with a strangeness, his forehead was violently blue, and his pupils were bloodshot, his already fierce and vicious face became more and more ferocious.

"This…!"

   Lin Xingjie felt that his state at this time was a bit familiar, and his face changed slightly.

  This is not fear.

  Since the awakening of super powers, no one can hurt her again.

   Lin Xingjie just realized that she might have stepped on a trap.

   "Quick...Quick..."

  There was a gloomy muffled noise in the man’s Adam’s apple, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn’t even utter a word. He was overwhelmed by the strange sound of "gurgling" in his throat, and he couldn't hear what he was trying to say.

He opened his thick knuckles of fingers, trying to lock his throat, and the rolling eyes seemed to prove that he was struggling with a certain level of consciousness—but the next moment, he put down his hand, and only his eyes were left. Belongs to a different kind of evil.

  The blue veins on his forehead bulged very abnormally, and even turned into a strip of "earthworms" that came alive, squirming under the skin wantonly.

  The man fell on all fours like a beast, and then he slammed his feet at the long-haired girl standing by the door.

  In a narrow house, the distance between the two quickly shortened.

   After sensing the strange breath of the possessed person approaching, a turbid current flowing like her own will beside Lin Xingjie, showing anger in that instant.

  Although for it, the weird person in front of him is a creature as weak as a worm, but this kind of offense is still unforgivable.

  So, all the power accumulated around the girl this night swelled uncontrollably.

"Wait…!"

   Lin Xingjie came back to her senses and reached out to stop, but it was too late.

  Her power has long been out of control.

  The ocean of the different world gushes out from the void cave, and the cascading waves hit the possessor's body heavily. The man was shot out like a cannonball and his head hit the concrete wall heavily.

  She can even hear a series of noises of the other party's chest cavity being sunken and the whole body broken bones.

   Lin Xingjie was dumbfounded.

  She saw a blood-stained baby emerge from the big hole in the man’s chest. It raised its head, the evil and cold pupils had only black eyes but no white eyes, and at the same time, it grinned widely and opened its mouth without teeth, exposing its dark throat.

   "Ah ah ah-"

  The headache is splitting, the pain is unprecedented. At this moment, she couldn't tell who was screaming, whether it was the baby in front of her, or herself.

  ...

  "...So and elegant...so...elegant..."

  Blood gurgled from the man’s nose and mouth.

  At the last moment of life, the man controlled by the evil spirit seems to have finally regained his sanity. But his will has been distracted, his pupils emptily reflected the still shaking light bulb hanging from the ceiling, and he repeatedly called a woman's name.

  ...

  The turbid current did not stop there because of killing people, but rather like a flood that just broke through the barriers of promotion, it was out of control since then.

  The sea of ​​chaos flooded the room impatiently, spreading towards the distance.

  In the middle of the sea, a piece of long black hair drifted with the wind; an overwhelming breath was like ignited explosives. A cloud of dark clouds expanded in the narrow house, squeezing the **** of the concrete wall in the blink of an eye.

   Accompanied by an explosion-like sound, the roof of the house was lifted by the noisy air current.

  The pressure that makes it difficult to breathe, like a blooming lotus flower, with this house as the center, it expands almost indefinitely.

  The breath of the magic flame from another world is soaring, like a billowing smoke, tearing through the night and autumn rain, and hitting the heart of the sky.

  *

  Before breaking in, Xu Xiangyang used his psychic abilities to communicate with Lin Xingjie.

  Although a breathing interval is "bounced" out, at least it can help him not find the wrong place.

  But he soon realized that he couldn't get close to that place at all.

  It was not even a turbulent current that hindered him, but an air current. The storm that suddenly rolled up was like a tall wall, making it difficult for Xu Xiangyang, who was trying to enter the house, to move.

The mutual tumbling between the distant realm and the real world caused the leaked energy to create violent gales and surging waves. It blew away the dark clouds in the sky, spreading rapidly around the alleys, and soon engulfed the entire block. .

  This terrible phenomenon is just the beginning. The chaotic ocean current did not stop just because it swallowed this area, but spread towards the city center with a determined and unstoppable trend...

  In the vision of psychics and psychics, from time to time, you can see turbid waves nearly ten meters high rushing onto the rooftops of residential buildings, and all the sundries such as flower pots and clothes are rolled into the sky in the middle.

The lights in every family’s home were lit, and people were awakened from the silent night. They thought it was a large-scale storm, and they panicked and closed the doors and windows. However, the residents could still hear the glass windows and even the steel bars. There was a "quack" of the soil overwhelmed.

Some people thought it was a tsunami, but they couldn't see a drop of water falling in the night sky. On the contrary, it was a sparsely clear moon star-even the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky were blown away by this huge energy-they could only keep their eyes open. Looking at the cracks in the windows and walls, blooming little by little under the heavy pressure.

  For a time, all the people living in the old city were in chaos. The couple and the children hugged in a panic. They wanted to call the police, but they couldn’t get in touch...

  Only the power of one person creates a catastrophic scene in the entire area that is no different from a flood.

Needless to say, in the alley at the center of the storm, the people here have woken up and closed the doors and windows very tightly, but they are still in panic-the whole alley is like sailing in a storm. The ship may capsize at any time.

  And they don’t even know what happened.

   "Xingjie!"

His face was sore by the strong wind, bloodstains were scraped out, Xu Xiangyang gritted his teeth and wanted to get closer, but found that the house was already surrounded by a terrifying vortex, and every airflow was like a sharp blade spinning at high speed. , Trespassers only end up crushed.

  He called the girl's name loudly, but no one answered.

  At this moment, the shadow of an evil spirit fell from the sky. Xu Xiangyang's heart tightened, and when he wanted to avoid him, he found that the other party in turn used his body to protect himself.

  He realized that it was Qingyue’s helping hand.

  Xu Xiangyang no longer hesitated, and shouted "Come in!"—this sentence was for himself. He immediately blocked his face with his hands, plucked up courage, gritted his teeth and rushed into the door.

  This strange evil spirit obviously belonged to a psychic that was watching nearby—but under the forced manipulation of the silk thread, it tried its best to cover the boy with its body.

   In the silent and miserable howl, the evil spirit was quickly slashed by the storm, without even the slightest remaining body, and completely disappeared in the whirlpool.

   Fortunately, Xu Xiangyang has already taken the opportunity to rush to the beginning.

  At a glance, he saw Lin Xingjie, who was leaning on the refrigerator with his hands on his knees, sitting on the ground in a daze.

  Obviously, outside the house, black clouds are pressing down on the city like the end of the day, but inside the house is calm and calm, as if you are in the eye of a storm.

  Not far away, lies a middle-aged man whose hair is short enough to leave only green stubble. His entire chest was sunken in a terrible range, and blood was overflowing from his facial features.

  Even if Xu Xiangyang is just a high school student rather than a professionally trained medical staff, you can see that this guy is dead.

   "...is possessed?"

  He felt the familiar taste, and he couldn't help but frown, reminding him of his encounter with the squad leader in the hotel.

  Someone is in this city, using the power of evil spirits to spread and create possessors, causing chaos...

  Xu Xiangyang guessed the identity of this person, but seeing that the other party was only relying on the alienated body behind the possessed body to linger, his breathing was rapidly becoming weak, and he was obviously hopeless, so he no longer had the mind to care, and his eyes fell on Lin Xingjie.

  The girl lowered her head, and her long, wet hair fell down, covering her face, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.

   "Xingjie, let's go."

  The girl heard the words, raised her head and looked at him, her expression gloomy.

  It was obvious that she had been exposed to the rain for a long time, and her face was extremely pale; her long straight hair, which was beautiful and supple, seemed to have been scribbled and stuck to her face.

  From her body at this moment, where can I still see the chic and chic energy like a heroine on weekdays, only the embarrassment of being soaked, and...

  Unprecedented gloom.

  "Sunny..."

  The girl’s throat was hoarse, as if she had a bad cold, she was deeply tired, and it made him feel distressed.

  In fact, at this time, Xu Xiangyang felt equally uncomfortable. First, I hurried to the monitor’s house, then went home in the rain and drove a motorcycle. After driving for a long time, I finally got to the station, only to discover an abnormality in the city. I had to rush back in the dark.

  Tossing for nearly twenty hours in this wet, windy and rainy day, Xu Xiangyang is cold, hungry, and exhausted at this moment, but his mind is more flexible than ever.

  He probably guessed what happened just now,

  In any case, this cannot be her fault.

   "You can guess that this is someone else's conspiracy, right?"

  Time is running out, Xu Xiangyang has something to say. He speeded up his speech and mentioned what the squad leader had just found in the hotel.

"Some people are spreading the power of evil spirits that can create possessors everywhere in the city. The large-scale communication interruption is their ghost, and the target of this group of people is you. Remember that time during the summer vacation, we were in the old temple on the mountain. Is the group of people I ran into? I suspect they are all in a batch!"

"…I know."

  Lin Xingjie’s mouth raised slightly, but she smiled reluctantly.

  "They even set up traps in such places. I guess their purpose is to get me out of control... Sorry, Xiangyang, they have done it."

  He did not answer, but his heart sank suddenly.

   "If I don't settle here, I will run away early, maybe there is hope, but now I have completely... lost control of my abilities."

  Xu Xiangyang began to understand why the girl was so desperate and didn't even try to leave the house.

  Because even Lin Xingjie herself can’t deal with the violent and raging force from the outside world.

  ...Of course, this is indeed a bad result, but he is not without any mental preparation.

   "Come with me, we leave together."

  Hearing his voice, Lin Xingjie stared at Xu Xiangyang's outstretched palm at first, then slowly moved up to meet him.

  The same look in the eyes, gentle and firm.

  When her eyes met, her heart trembled slightly, and there was a kind of sprouting like a baby bird breaking its shell.

This feeling is familiar and warm. After more than half a year, Lin Xingjie once again recalled the day when the two let go of their worries and met each other for the first time; she remembered the boy’s agreement that "we are going to walk the same road", almost Tears came.

  As long as she sees Xu Xiangyang’s face, Lin Xingjie’s heartbeat will speed up, this feeling is beyond her control.

  The long-haired girl bit her lip, her mood a little bit complicated.

  In front of him, let’s not say anger, I can’t even keep my frustration for too long, really...

  This boy must be her destined nemesis.

   However, Lin Xingjie had the scruples that he couldn't let go of this time, so there was no way to just follow him away casually.

  She rolled her head and stopped looking at him, her eyes fell on the man lying on the ground.

   "...he is going to die soon."

   Lin Xingjie whispered.

   "I won't say that this person is more than guilty," Xu Xiangyang replied, "but he has offended you before."

   "I know... I know. But even if it was before, I just planned to teach him, not to kill."

  The long-haired girl has drooping eyelids and her eyelashes are trembling slightly.

"I'm out of control. Do you remember what happened at the sports meeting? There was a boy who cheated at the sports meeting with super powers. I said at the time that I was unhappy with him and felt that this was unprincipled... The result? Patronize and teach others, But I never thought about what kind of person I would become."

"this is not your fault."

  Xu Xiangyang insisted.

   "Xiangyang, you know what I think."

   Lin Xingjie just smiled wryly.

  The crux of the problem is not who died, but the huge ability that is out of control, which changed her mentality.

  Even if it wasn’t him that died, someone she knew, a neighbor in the neighborhood, or an unlucky passerby who accidentally passed by, could she feel at ease?

"By the way, you just broke in... Is the situation outside now terrible? Xiangyang, tell the truth, if this continues, the people living in this alley, as well as the residents nearby, are all being affected? My abilities have spread..."

  Xu Xiangyang pursed his lips without answering. But seeing the unconcealed heaviness on his face, she had already guessed the answer.

"...I knew it was like this. I can't do anything if this is the case. I really don't want to make a mistake. Cause very serious consequences."

  The girl looked at the lines on her palm and mumbled like she was talking to herself.

   "I can't even guarantee that I won't hurt you if this continues..."

   "It's okay." He comforted subconsciously, "I don't care—"

  "Don't say such things! You know how afraid I am that you will get hurt...Don't just say it casually!"

   Lin Xingjie's emotions suddenly became agitated, her eyes flushed, and she stared at him viciously.

  Xu Xiangyang was stunned.

  The girl's chest was undulating violently, and for a while, only her gasping was left in the room.

   The wind and rain outside the window are miserable.

  The raindrops hit the eaves and pattered echoes, as if they were separated from a distant world, and people's shouts were vague and long-lasting.

  After nearly a century of long silence, Lin Xingjie sighed and whispered.

   "...Moreover, it's not just your problem, even I can't tolerate myself now."

  She opened her arms again, hugged her knees, and curled up a little lonely beside the refrigerator like a child who was afraid of the cold.

   "Xu Xiangyang, you don't like me like this at all, right?"

  He could not answer.

  What kind of girl is Lin Xingjie who he likes?

  She used to be withdrawn and stubborn, unwilling to trust anyone, but as long as someone is willing to treat her sincerely, she is actually willing to open up;

  She will not be soft when dealing with people she hates, but she is essentially a kind and gentle girl, and she has a strong self-esteem, so even though she has strong violence that can destroy everything, she will never abuse it.

  And now, this persistence is shattered in the face of reality.

  At this time, Xu Xiangyang's mind suddenly flashed this scene for no reason:

  —"In the future, I want to be a heroine in an upright manner."

  When solving the out-of-control psychic that merged with the rat evil spirit, Lin Xingjie once announced to them with her head high.

  How proud and self-confident she was at that time, and she was totally different from the dejected girl now.

  This is her ideal, what she wants to do...

  But maybe even this ideal is also inseparable from oneself.

  Maybe, it was because he once praised her for her heroic appearance, like the hero in a martial arts novel, Xingjie had this idea, right?

  "...You are asking too much of yourself."

   "If it's not high, I won't be able to stay by your side comfortably."

  There was another long silence.

  Xu Xiangyang was extremely anxious, and he opened his mouth repeatedly but fell silent. Countless words that he wanted to say whirled in his throat, but even he knew that such pale and weak words could not convince anyone. Once they were spoken, they would become light and light and disappear into the air.

   Lin Xingjie raised her face again.

  This time, she seemed to have adjusted her emotions and looked at Xu Xiangyang's eyes calmly.

   "You...you go first." She said, "Don't worry, no one can hurt me. What I worry about is that people who stay with me will be hurt..."

   "No. Not only me, but Qingyue. She is outside now, we will definitely be able to help you."

  Of course he didn’t want to go.

  Next, Lin Xingjie finally said the fear that has been lingering in her heart since she lost control of her ability tonight.

  "Xu Xiangyang, do you remember the "end of the world" that Uncle Meng mentioned before? If it was because of me..."

   "Don't talk silly!"

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help raising her volume to stop her from continuing.

"What does this have to do with you? You don’t think you can destroy the world or something with your own power, do you? Don’t be naive, the world is so big that ordinary people can’t even walk all over the earth in a lifetime, where It means that it can be destroyed if destroyed!"

  Lin Xingjie did not look at him, but his eyes stayed on the half-dead man.

   "Yes, I may not be the devil who destroys the world. But I am out of control. It is possible to accidentally kill someone or destroy the city..."

  When Xu Xiangyang wanted to refute, the long-haired girl's faint gaze swept over, and the gaze that seemed to have no emotion made him chill.

"This is not something you can guarantee, Xu Xiangyang, because even I can't do it myself. Qingyue can't do it either. I've played against her. I know very well that maybe she still has a chance to stop me before she loses control of her ability, but now this Situation... not something she can handle alone, neither of you can help me now."

  Her tone has become very calm, even almost cold.

"You'd better go. If you really want to help me, leave me temporarily and leave this dangerous place. Qingyue is out now. It's just right. You go and meet her now. Leave Jinjiang City together, find someone to help, and come to rescue me when I'm fully prepared... Promise me, okay?"

  Xu Xiangyang took a deep breath.

   is still silent.

…Yes.

  Xingjie is right.

  Before he broke in, the area covered by the out-of-control ability was spreading and expanding at a high speed. If it continues like this, even if it spreads to the entire Jinjiang City, it is only a matter of time.

  His reason tells him that if he wants to help her, the first thing to do is to protect himself.

  This is not just to protect yourself. There is no way to solve the problem of out-of-control ability, and he is just a psychic. If she really runs away after taking Xingjie away, she will hurt herself...

  This situation is no longer a mere guess, the person lying on the ground is a lesson for the past.

  According to the girl’s personality, if this happened, she would blame herself and feel annoyed!

  Xu Xiang Yangguang felt that it was difficult to breathe even after thinking about it. He was not worried that he might be hurt, but when he imagined the girl's sad face, he felt heartache.

  Based on what he knows about this girl, she might go crazy by then! Driven by such extremely negative emotions, the out-of-control superpowers will go further, and the situation will become even worse-hundreds or thousands of times worse than it is now!

  It is precisely because of this that Lin Xingjie clearly realizes this that she is reluctant to leave, and refuses his help, all she wants is to drive him away with Qingyue.

  —But how can he do it!

  This has nothing to do with saneness. Knowing that a group of dangerous elements are coming towards her, how could he be willing to leave her alone to face this critical juncture!

  But Lin Xingjie’s idea is not wrong...

  Countless chaotic thoughts crisscrossed in the boy's mind, and the taste in his mouth was as bitter as Chinese medicine.

  ...

At the end of the 1999 century, this autumn in the third year of high school was rainy and the night was gloomy. A 17-year-old boy, Xu Xiangyang, was standing at his ex-girlfriend’s house. The girl he liked was sitting in front of him. She was like a hedgehog who had just killed someone. He curled up like that, unwilling to let anyone approach him; he was very at a loss, the only thing that was clear was that he was facing a major choice that no one else might encounter for a lifetime.

  A decision that will not only change his and her lives, but will even change the fate of countless people in the future.

  He has always taken “Don’t do things you regret” as his life creed. So far, he has helped others because of this belief, and he has met his most important friends and most important lovers. He has never regretted his actions...

  But at this moment, at this moment, what should he do to ensure that he will not regret it in the future?

  Which way is the correct one?

  Yes, he cannot guarantee that Lin Xingjie’s ability will not continue to lose control, will not kill innocent people, and will not take away countless lives like a severe natural disaster...

  In the final analysis, he doesn't have this ability, and he doesn't even know who has it.

  He knows that this is a guarantee to the most important woman in life. If you can't do it, you should not speak.

  If he doesn’t even believe him, how can anyone believe it!

  There may be women who like sweet talk, even knowing that the other party is a liar, and they are willing to be fooled, but Lin Xingjie is not such a girl—at least she does not want to hear this.

  In front of that heavy and huge ability that can destroy reality, it is just a few empty and boring consolations, which is totally meaningless...

   "You really don't want to go with me?"

  He murmured in a low voice.

   "How do you convince me..."

  Hugging her knees, with her long hair hanging down, she has a light smile, which is as illusory as the blooming flowers in her dreams.

   "Convince me that I am not an uncontrolled monster, but the girl you once liked?"

  ...What did she just say?

  "I used to like it"?

"…Ah."

  Hearing this, Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt relieved.

  He realized something, which made his shoulders slowly relax.

  Xingjie saw him wrong.

  For a long time, she has regarded herself as the person who rescued her and guided her on the right path, so she would have unrealistic and beautiful fantasies...

  That’s why I would say "I can't stay by your side comfortably".

  And only he himself knows what kind of person he is.

  A kind of crazy idea emerged from the boy's mind, and it grew unrestrainedly.

  Yes, he couldn't guarantee that Lin Xingjie would not hurt others, and he didn't even know how to persuade Xingjie to believe that he was not the great demon who destroys the world—because he also had this doubt in his mind.

  Even though in the past, he regarded this idea as nonsense and laughed, but now... he can no longer say that he can continue to stick to the common sense of the past.

  But he does have things he can do.

  If it is an illusory fantasy, an out-of-reach goal, no amount of guarantee is meaningless.

  What he needs is a down-to-earth, a promise that he can do and absolutely must fulfill.

  Xu Xiangyang seemed to have finally made a certain decision and turned to leave.

  Under the blank gaze of the girl behind, Xu Xiangyang walked to the man lying on the ground and took out a dark and cold piece of metal from his pocket.

That is…

  At this moment, Lin Xingjie did not realize what he was holding.

  She could see that Xu Xiangyang was obviously hesitant, and was still wondering if he had made the right choice when the matter came.

  But that was only a moment's hesitation.

"boom!"

  In the next moment, the firelight bloomed in the boy's hand.

   Lin Xingjie’s pupils shrank suddenly.

  ...

  Xu Xiangyang almost fell backward.

  He took a deep breath, not daring to look at the white and red splashing on the ground—he didn't want to see the first person in the world he killed with his own hands, and fierce pain was coming from his wrist.

  He put the gun he got from the prisoner in his pocket with trembling arms.

  This is my decision, my guarantee, and my promise.

  He walked up to Lin Xingjie again.

   "...Don't say silly things."

  This time, the boy's tone was soft.

  "Don’t decide what I like about you without authorization...The things you said and did before may be the opportunity for me to like you, but now, can I still let go?"

If time goes back at this moment, the Xing Jie he knows is no longer the original Xing Jie, she is no longer kind, no longer firm, and becomes a bad girl that is far more than the squad leader who does not have any restraints and does not need to pretend, even He is a great demon who kills innocent people and tries to destroy the world... can he just let it go?

I do not want.

  Xu Xiangyang said to himself.

  Even if he wants to do bad things together and walk to **** together, he will not let go of her hand.

   "I said, we will go the same way."

  Xu Xiangyang squatted down, opened his arms, and pulled the beloved girl into his arms.

   "...whether this road is good or bad."

  Lin Xingjie’s body was stiff at first, as cold as a stone sculpture; then, he heard a slight sob.

  She buried her face in his shoulders, with her hands desperately, she grabbed his collar and refused to let go; at last she began to cry bitterly, "Uhhhhh-".

  "Don’t cry, don’t cry, it was me who really killed, right? Even if I was arrested by the police, I just need to give it out."

  He patted the shoulder of the girl in his arms comfortingly, and was in the mood to joke by the way.

  However, at the next moment, Xu Xiangyang’s eye sockets became hot, and the scene in front of him was blurred by tears, and the crying echoes in his ears could no longer distinguish each other.

  ...

  Yes, I want to be with you.

  You say you want to "like me forever", then don't let go for the rest of your life.

  No matter if this road is good or bad, no matter where you are in the future—

…Forever.
