Invade the World

  Chapter 4 Lawless Teenagers

  The melodious school bell reverberates in the air.

  The magnolia tree planted in the flower bed is in full bloom, and the light floral fragrance is refreshing. Lin Xingjie slowed down and joined the hustle and bustle of returning home.

  Several private cars lined up on the small square in front of the school. Across the guardrail, you can see the quietly flowing turquoise water, and there are dense trees along the way, making people who pass by here feel relaxed involuntarily.

   Just then, a warm greeting came from behind.

   "Yeah, you are here."

   Lin Xingjie frowned. She turned her head and saw a tall boy standing under a tree not far from her. Because of physique, compared to high school students, they are more like young people who have entered society early.

   "Shi Hui?"

   "It's me. Why, I have forgotten my friend after only a few days of work?"

  Shi Hui draped the school uniform on his shoulders and beckoned to her.

  ...Sure enough, I still can't hide.

   Lin Xingjie hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward.

   There were two other people standing under the tree, a man and a woman, with lazy expressions on their faces.

  Lin Xingjie seemed to have eyes on her back, she only felt that the eyes of the students and parents who came out of the school gate were staring at them behind her. There is a burning sensation on the back.

  There are curiosity and yearning, fear, disgust, and some people even avoid the long road and avoid them. Looking at their appearance, dressing and spiritual temperament, everyone can understand that these are a few young people who are willing and depraved.

  Such "bad students" are everywhere, no wonder. Especially in this era, they are still regarded as a symbol of rebellion, and they are adored by a group of peers, causing headaches for schools and parents.

  The three people didn't care at all. When others look at themselves with such strange eyes, it will make them feel different and even more triumphant.

   Lin Xingjie felt unbearable instinctively. Her self-esteem has always been higher than that of ordinary people, and her personality is more sensitive. only…

  In the eyes of others, I am no different from this group of people. She thought to herself, trying to put the discomfort behind her head, and stepped forward.

   "These two people are my good friends, let me introduce you. Yan Mingjun, Wang Nana."

"Hi, how are you."

  The girl wearing earrings, dyed dark yellow hair, wearing ripped jeans and heavy makeup on her face spit a bubble at her while chewing on candy.

  The moment he saw Lin Xingjie, the other party showed a surprised expression, followed by instinctive jealousy. Although it was only a fleeting moment, the girl was familiar with this look and didn't think she was wrong.

  ...Boring, she thought to herself, she was too lazy to speak, and nodded as a response.

"Hello."

   "Oh, you look really good. To be able to make friends with you, Shi Hui really hit the big luck. Haha, get to know?"

  The thin boy put his hands in his pockets, and flicked his hair in a handsome manner. His fiery eyes looked up and down the black-haired girl's figure unceremoniously.

   "Shi Hui, you guys are..."

  Lin Xingjie gave the long-haired boy a cold look, and calmly squeezed the shoulder straps of the schoolbag with both hands, trying to make the ups and downs of her chest restrained by the school uniform less obvious.

  "We are going to find a place to play. Since we are all friends, naturally we have to find a way to deepen our relationship? Do you want to come with us?"

The   inch head boy stood behind her and said condescendingly.

   There was a sudden hot heat on her arm, and Lin Xingjie had a chill, and subconsciously made a dodge action.

  It seemed that he was accidentally wiped by the boy's hand. It could also be that the other party wanted to make a sudden attack and planned to hold his hand, Lin Xingjie thought. I don't know if Shi Hui didn't notice it or didn't care. After walking past her, he turned his head and said.

   "How about, are you going?"

  "..."

  Shi Hui's tone was mild, but the eyes that looked over were very oppressive, not as if they were discussing.

  Lin Xingjie looked at him calmly without speaking.

   "Come on, come on, go with us and see some good things."

   "Sister Xingjie, we don't need to be with the two stinky men, our sisters can also play elsewhere."

  Shi Hui’s companions laughed and said.

   "Don't make trouble, you two."

  Shi Hui smiled and waved, but his eyes remained on Lin Xingjie.

  "Don’t worry, we won’t force you. Come as you want. If you feel uncomfortable on the road, you can go right away. I won’t let others stop you...how, would you like it? Give me a word."

   "Is there anyone else?"

   "No, don't worry! This time just us..." Shi Hui pointed to himself and Lin Xingjie, then pointed to the other two, "With them."

   "Where is the place?"

  "Disc, billiards, underground street, where do you want to go?"

  Lin Xingjie opened her mouth and was about to say something. Suddenly, she remembered what happened this morning, the quarrel with her mother, and the thing about that person that needs to be resolved. She alone cannot do it.

  It’s not that she didn’t ask for help from adults, but—

  She lowered her eyes and stroked her side face with the palm of her hand unconsciously. The area covered by the band-aids came with bursts of dull pain, like a saw repeatedly rubbing against the heart, and the wounds caused would never be healed.

  What's the point of trying to go back as early as a normal student? That place didn't feel like my own home anymore. Every time I went back, I hid in my room like a thief, or simply ran to the rooftop to spend the whole night.

   "Don't go to the messy place like the disco, it's noisy and noisy. Just walk around."

   Lin Xingjie raised her head, trying to show her relaxed expression as much as possible.

  ...

   "Is it here?"

  Half an hour later, two men, two women and four people came to an off-travel street.

  Lin Xingjie stood outside the wall under a building and looked up at the windows on the second and third floors. They were all dark, and there was no breath of human life.

  The weeds under the feet spread, growing unscrupulously, engulfing all the flowerbeds in front of the door, and in some places the height of the grass blades has exceeded the calf.

   "That's right. I was planning to go to karaoke, don't you want to?"

  Wang Nana patted her on the shoulder and said with a grin.

   Lin Xingjie was a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm, and replied hoarsely.

   "Well, yes... I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat today."

  She didn't want to go to the disco or billiard room because she felt that that kind of place was too messy, but after thinking about it, it seemed more dangerous to close the box. If something really happened, there was no way to escape, so of course she had to refuse.

   "That's why I came to the haunted house to explore. Actually, I've been fancying this place a long time ago, and I've always wanted to come over!"

   "What a haunted house, it's so boring."

   Yan Mingjun laughed. He seemed very dissatisfied with not being able to go to the more fun places.

   "What's the meaning of this place?"

  "Did you not hear what Xingjie said? Is that noisy place interesting?"

  Wang Nana gave her boyfriend a vicious look.

   "But I think you liked it before."

   Yan Mingjun didn't care, and he posted it grinning.

  "It used to be...hey, what are you doing? I hate it..."

  The two were sticky and hugged, almost before performing a French wet kiss in front of Lin Xingjie, the girl frowned.

  Wang Nana supported Yan Mingjun’s pouting mouth with one hand, her voice suddenly became low and she said with a mysterious expression.

  "I’m not just picking a place. Do you know that this house is actually very famous nearby?"

  "Famous?"

   "Yes, because several people have died."

  The girl spit out the chewing gum from her mouth into the grass.

   "I heard that everyone who entered this house died..."

   "It's not weird." Shi Hui shook his head, "The murder house is legendary everywhere."

  "It's different. This place is even more evil than the usual haunted places! Not only the few families who moved in have all suffered successive misfortunes, and even the house agent did not escape."

  Wang Nana shook her finger at them.

  "Understand? It's not that the people who live here are entangled by ghosts, but whoever steps into the door of this house will die in the end. Haven't you seen such a fierce place before?"
