Invade the World

  Chapter 348 Like an abyss

   When Lin Xingjie woke up, the hands of the clock hanging on the opposite wall pointed to midnight.

   She stroked her forehead, feeling a little hot. However, there is no discomfort in the body, the consciousness is very clear, and there is no symptoms of cough and runny nose. It should not be a fever.

   Rather, it's not just the forehead that is getting hot, but the whole body. The girl could feel that hot blood was flowing enthusiastically in every corner of her body, and she could even hear a bell-ringing noise in her ears—an unusual tinnitus, blood rushing from the depths of the eardrum to the walls of the blood vessels Exciting echoes.

  Fortunately, she is calm now. After checking it again, she found that her abilities were not out of control.

  Lin Xingjie lifted the quilt, got up from the bed, slowly put on socks and slippers, put on a coat, covered her bare arms and shoulders, and wrapped herself tightly.

  The overhead central air conditioner keeps blowing hot air, keeping the indoor environment in a "warm like spring" atmosphere.

  After getting dressed, Lin Xingjie opened the bathroom door and washed her face; she stood in front of the vanity mirror and brushed her long hair before pushing the door out.

   "—Who the **** is calling me?"

she thinks.

   Yes, someone is "calling" themselves. This is the biggest reason why she would choose to go out at this time.

The reason for such speculation is that Lin Xingjie has had similar experiences more than once: when she first awakened her ability, she was able to communicate with the ocean of another world. It has its own life and will.

After that, Lin Xingjie had more than one conscious communication with the source of her own strength; at the stage when her ability was on the verge of losing control, she made the distant scene overlap with the real world several times, and she almost couldn't tell where she was. Maybe as long as she takes a wrong step and thinks in a trance, she will be left in that place forever and never come back...

  Lin Xingjie always has a feeling: she is standing alone on the abyss, with a cliff not far from her feet, and she will be shattered if she walks a few steps forward.

She should have turned and fled, but her body was out of control, like a statue unable to move, unable to turn around; at the same time, from the cloud-shrouded, bottomless valley, inhuman calls were constantly being heard, tempting She moved on; when her brain became dazed, she instinctively found herself moving.

   This process was repeated countless times. Every time she stepped on the edge of the cliff, and the sand and stones on the edge fell, she would react in a jerky manner and hurriedly retreated.

   But how long can she hold on? How long can this luck last?

  Although there is a treasure buried under the deep valley, it is the source of the supernatural power in her body; although Lin Xingjie has long been unable to get rid of it, she is destined to accompany it for a living.

  It’s just—where did this so-called “destiny” come from?

Whether or not she can connect with a fixed evil spirit individual is a random event that cannot be explained by modern science, but the birth of a psychic may not be natural. When she met Xiao An, she originally thought she was in that haunted house with evil spirits. The spirit was connected, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

She was called and lured to the haunted house by that world, which meant that she was originally qualified; in other words, all the beginnings were in her past, but she couldn't recall it clearly, she only remembered herself Living in a remote suburb with his parents, he lived a stable and stable life that had nothing to do with the supernatural world, until his father disappeared mysteriously after going out one day, leaving the mother and daughter behind.

This is why Lin Xingjie is very concerned when Meng Zheng mentions his father. Although she can't remember the man's appearance for a long time, if the birth of her ability is really related to him, then the other way around , the hope of solving the crux of his own body may also be in him.

   Meng is an untrustworthy guy, but those words he said are not necessarily lies, otherwise, even if he wants to deceive himself, he will not be able to convince others.

   "Someone is calling me. But it feels very different from what I've experienced before. It's not another world, a call from within me, but an individual that has nothing to do with me. Is it the ability of another medium?"

  Lin Xingjie had never met a psychic with similar abilities, but she still reacted quickly.

  The girl pushed out the door, and when she came to the corridor, she suddenly felt a chill.

The lights on the corridor were all extinguished, the ceiling and the originally magnificent promenade seemed to have been abandoned for ten years at once, cobwebs and stains spread in the dark corners, the vision became blurred, and the specific patterns and outlines of things could not be distinguished. It was like a dream in which most of the details would be forgotten soon after waking up.

   She wanted to call Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue for the first time, but she was keenly aware that the end of the wall was empty and there was no one's breath.

  Lin Xingjie walked to the door of the next room and knocked lightly. The door opened slowly inwards, and there was no one in the cold and gray room.

   Ah, is it possible...

  Lin Xingjie was a little surprised.

   is not "like", is this a real "dream"?

   She was dragged into a dream, not once or twice. Fortunately, the outsider's psychic ability is safer than the lure that originates from his own power.

  Lin Xingjie first thought of a way to wake up from a dream in a conscious state, such as slapping her face hard, or closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, silently giving hints. But when she opened her eyes, the world that came into her eyes did not change at all.

   It seems that it is not the kind of dream that can be easily escaped. Or maybe you haven't found a way yet.

   At this moment, the girl heard the familiar cry of a baby... It came from the end of the invisible distance, very vague.

  Lin Xingjie continued to walk forward calmly.

   After a while, the baby's cry changed its tone, gradually elongated, deformed, distorted, and finally became the voice of a familiar man.

   "Sorry, Miss Lin." Meng Zheng's voice sounded from all around, his voice was dull, as if this person was hiding behind the wall and talking to himself, "I don't want to disturb others for the time being, so I can only use this method to meet you."

   "In this way of forcibly pulling me into a dream?"

"No, no, you misunderstood. I don't have such an ability. I can build this channel with the help of the fluctuations emanating from your powerful spiritual body. If you don't want to, just liberate your psychic ability... "

"Oh."

   As soon as Meng Zheng's voice fell, the entire corridor began to tremble with a "rumble", wriggling like a living intestine, the ceiling and walls began to fall apart, the collapsed building materials scattered all over the place, and the smoke filled the air. The other party immediately shouted in panic.

   "I'm here to negotiate! Don't you want to hear my information? I thought I'd persuaded you before!"

"Oh…"

  The shaking in the corridor stopped in an instant, the cracked corridor structure was restored to its original state, and everything calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

   Actually, she just wanted to try it out.

  Lin Xingjie bent her fingers curiously and tapped on the wall. Of course, there was no one behind the wall. She fell into a dream, and it was through some more mysterious spiritual method that Meng communicated with herself.

   She knew the reason for it. It seemed that he and the woman named Long Po did have some differences, so that he had to bypass each other and find himself in private.

  Lin Xingjie decided to point out the problem directly.

   "Aren't you going to bring LP in to listen?"

"...Ms. Luang Po has her own ideas, and the Stargazing Club has the same goal, but there are still differences in some details. As a plenipotentiary representative, I can represent the attitude of all high-level officials. Every word I said to you, It is equivalent to the collective agreement between you and the Stargazing Association, please rest assured."

"Yes."

  Lin Xingjie nodded slightly.

   "Then please tell me, what do you... really want?"

   "I have answered this question more than once, Miss Lin."

   Meng Zheng's low voice made the whole corridor rumble, like thunder coming from the depths of the clouds.

   "The only thing I can hope for is that you take the power within yourself and be the helmsman who can lead us into the next new era with our heads held high...that's all."

   His words paused, and his attitude was unprecedentedly serious.

   "And if you want to master power, the first thing you need to do is to discover it, otherwise it will be impossible to talk about."

  Lin Xingjie's expression was always calm, she raised her face and said to the invisible person.

   "So, what am I going to do?"

"-memory."

   The other party answered without hesitation.

"You may have noticed that the secret of the birth of divine media power is hidden in your past experience. Choosing to accept it will lead to very violent consequences. But please don't be afraid, memory is just memory, it has passed, time has passed It will not affect you in the present. What will really interfere with the present is your state of mind that is most likely to change after accepting the memory, so…”

   "No matter what you think of, you have to support yourself, right? Okay, then let's go."

  Lin Xingjie answered very neatly. It seemed that she had already made up her mind.

   Not only to stop getting out of control, no one will turn a blind eye when they realize that their past is likely to hide some kind of huge secret, but it has been forgotten early.

   "...Then let's get started." Meng Zheng said, "But to be conservative, I won't open up all my memories, and let you get used to it for a while."

"good."

   Lin Xingjie heard a "dang bang" as soon as he finished speaking.

   In the silent corridor, this sound was especially abrupt. She looked in the direction from which the voice came, and a rusted iron door appeared in the corridor at some point, opening automatically without wind.

   It was out of tune with the surroundings of the hotel, apparently stripped from somewhere else and then rigidly embedded here.

  Behind the door is a flight of stairs going down, and the end of the stairs is dark, leading to some invisible place.

basement?

   Her heart beat slightly faster, and she suddenly felt palpitations.

   "This is your home and where it all started. Do you remember?"

   Meng Zheng's voice rumbled behind her.

  …The feeling of being in the abyss is coming again.

   Only this time, Lin Xingjie walked to the edge of the cliff with a clearer and calmer will.

   A thought suddenly appeared in her mind: Even if she really jumped, so what?

The    girl couldn't help scratching her cheeks, feeling a little distressed.

   If she was alone, she really didn't care, even if he turned the world upside down and flooded the sky behind him...

   Just as she hesitated, a figure suddenly flashed before her.

  Lin Xingjie was stunned.

   It was a little girl with long braids, she was small, maybe she was just old enough to go to elementary school. The other party only left a back view of her, so she couldn't see her appearance, but that kind of familiarity...

  —Is that your past self?

  The little girl jumped down the stairs all by herself and ran into the basement.

  Lin Xingjie's feet stood still, but she couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

   She suddenly had an idea.

  *

the other side.

  The small room is crowded with instruments, equipment and people.

   Everyone's bloodshot eyes widened. They were of different ages and looks, but they had the same weird frenzy on their faces.

   All the people who did not choose to withdraw from Jinjiang City, that is, the most enthusiastic attitude towards this action, are all concentrated in this place.

   Even if someone broke in the next moment, it wouldn't be surprising to arrest them all... This group of people was already out of the way, dancing on a tightrope.

  The person surrounded by them was naturally Meng Zheng.

   Although Meng Zheng asked his subordinates to use the dreaming method, he couldn't see Lin Xingjie's current situation and could only determine the effect based on the traditional method of detecting the feedback of the psychic's ability fluctuations.

   Of course, that memory is indeed provided by him, but he is not sure how much stimulation can be generated for this incomplete **** medium, so as to put her on the path of awakening, he needs to step by step...

  …

…etc.

  Why would she have to awaken her abilities just by providing memories?

  Meng Zheng's mind suddenly flashed strange doubts.

   He knows the contents of all memories. In short, Lin Xingjie's divine media ability was not natural, but was artificially created by accident in an experiment.

  This is of course surprising, if the news leaks out, it will set off a frenzy around the world... But, what does this have to do with Lin Xingjie herself? How can he be sure that this approach will achieve the result he wants?

  Why...why does he believe so much?

  Speaking of which, who gave him this memory...

  Meng Zheng's eyes became dazed, and a needle-like pain came from the back of his head. Surrounded by his subordinates, he couldn't hear the sounds around him for a while, until someone shouted frantically in his ear:

   "Success! The release frequency of the target capability fluctuated violently... No, the entire operation mode has changed! This time... This time the coverage is expected to exceed 10,000 square kilometers!"

   "This is a success? Her memory should not be fully awakened."

   Meng Zheng was a little unbelievable, but it soon turned into an uncontrollable ecstasy, and the doubts just now were forgotten by him in the blink of an eye.

   "This is good, this is good..."

   he murmured softly.

  Lin Xingjie is different from other divine media.

  With age and mental maturity, the mastery of abilities by divine media is a natural process, and ordinary people cannot intervene at all.

   However, only Lin Xingjie did not begin to face her true self until she entered adolescence. The process of her realizing her own abilities was the beginning of a sudden collapse under human guidance.

  The energy behind that door has been accumulating continuously under the condition of being neglected for a long time, and now it has accumulated to an astronomical amount.

   If you can find a way to dig out small holes in advance and lead them out a little bit, there may be a chance of recovery; but if the blockade of consciousness is suddenly lifted, the power released from her body will form an unprecedented wave of terror.

  —First of all, for you and me to get out of the predicament, Meng Zheng thought, start by destroying the city.
