Invade the World

  Chapter 45 A Guess

  In these twenty minutes, no abnormal situation occurred inside or outside the classroom; the only problem is that it is now 7 o'clock in the evening, and there is still no teacher coming.

  But no one felt that there was something wrong.

  After all, staying after school to take care of students is considered voluntary work. Teachers on duty come and sit when they are free; if they are not available or go home early, it is common for members of the study group to study in the classroom until the end.

  At this moment, everyone else is studying seriously in their seats, only Xu Xiangyang can't concentrate completely.

  He roughly described the study plan he planned to hand over to Lin Xingjie when he returned, then stood up, came to Zhu Qingyue again, and asked in a low voice:

  "I'm sorry to interrupt, student Zhu, what do you think?"

  Zhu Qingyue, who was writing at the desk, straightened up and brought the fallen hair tips to her ears. She sighed slightly, and roughly looked at the plan in hand, and looked up at Xu Xiangyang thoughtfully.

  Xu Xiangyang blinked at him.

  Zhu Qingyue nodded in response with an imperceptible amplitude, and said:

   "I see. It's generally okay. There are indeed a few points I want to make...Let's go out and talk, don't disturb them studying."

  The two of them left the classroom while talking.

The members of the   study group raised their heads and looked curiously at the back of the two of them. Although some of them seemed to be studying attentively, their ears were already raised.

  ……

  The two stood by the railing in the corridor again.

   "Is there something to say?"

  Zhu Qingyue asked in a low voice.

   "The teacher did not come."

  Xu Xiangyang’s answer is very simple.

   "I know..." She glanced at the classmates sitting on the other side of the window, "Do you still feel uneasy?"

"Yes."

   "Here, student Xu, are you a little too sensitive?" Zhu Qingyue's expression was quite hesitating, "Everyone seems to care about it."

  "Because none of them have experienced it personally." Xu Xiangyang asked back, "What about you, Student Zhu? What do you think of the matter just now?"

  He didn't feel strange to the girl's suspicion.

  Unless people can directly put things beyond common sense in front of people, ordinary people who have received common sense education for many years will instinctively not think about it in that direction.

  The protagonist in the horror movie can use "illusions" to convince himself even if he really hits ghosts and hells, not to mention a phenomenon that can be completely explained by pranks...

  But Xu Xiangyang had to think a little more and more than ordinary people. Even if he was regarded as nervous and scolded in his heart as "annoying", it was better than an accident afterwards.

  There is no regret medicine to take in this world. If you think of a good thing, act early to realize it. If you realize that a bad thing is about to happen, stop it immediately, otherwise you will most likely leave yourself with lifelong regrets.

  "If it happened only once, it could be regarded as an accident. But we encountered two strange things this evening. Didn't the monitor think something was wrong?"

"Well……"

  Fortunately, Zhu Qingyue did not show boredom, but seriously followed Xu Xiangyang's statement to think down.

"In that case, let me explain one by one. First of all, what we saw at the door of the office. Because of the distance and disappearing into the night quickly, I didn't see it clearly. What is it? I just feel that a vague cloud of black shadow flies past. According to the speed at which it disappears, I think it should be a very large bird..."

  She glanced at Xu Xiangyang again.

   "Student Xu also felt that he was wrong, right?"

"right."

"The second time I met someone jogging outside the classroom, and then knocked **** the door and window, but when we went out to take a look, no one was seen; in addition, according to other people who came up from downstairs not long afterwards Judging from the speech, the prankster did not escape down the stairs."

  She pointed to the corridor behind Xu Xiangyang.

   "It is impossible to escape from that direction, otherwise you should be able to see the student Xu who rushed out at that time."

  Class 5 is the class on the second floor closest to the stairwell in the direction of the school gate. If you want to escape from the opposite direction, you have to go through four classes, so Zhu Qingyue will make this judgment.

   "In other words, the other party either went up the stairs or..."

   "I took advantage of the trend and hid in the classroom next door." Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "Unfortunately I didn't have time to react at the time, otherwise I should just walk over and take a look."

"It's better not to do such dangerous things." Zhu Qingyue smiled, "So, for these two things, does Student Xu have any other opinions? And from this analysis, don't you think the two things are incompatible? It doesn't matter, are they just two accidental events that happened tonight?"

  There was a big bird flying out of the teaching building; a boring guy played a prank on them in the classroom, and he couldn't find it anywhere after escaping.

  The two do not sound related, and they are both unpredictable and small probability events.

but……

  Xu Xiangyang was silent.

  His eyes fell on the half-high exterior wall.

  There is a possibility that these two things can be connected cleverly, just like two unrelated cases will never appear in a complete reasoning story.

  It’s just that this kind of speculation is a bit too scary, and it sounds like a fantasy in the ears of others, and even thinks whether he has a problem with his brain.

  Xu Xiangyang's eyes moved slowly, falling from the rusty iron railing to the night outside the building, and finally to the opposite building.

  ——This conjecture is: What if “something” really jumped out of the corridor at that time?

  It may have climbed along the floor to the third floor, it may fall directly to the ground, or it may even span a distance of more than ten meters to reach the junction between the two floors.

  This is why the squad leader at the time could only see the dark shadow passing behind him with a glimpse of him, and he felt like a bird, but his body was too large to be natural.

And can do this kind of thing...Xu Xiangyang doesn’t know what to call it, maybe it's a "person", maybe it's a "monster"--want to disappear under the eyes of both of them after that weird prank. Naturally, it is not difficult.

  Ordinary human beings can’t do this kind of thing, but he has personally witnessed aliens beyond imagination. Shi Hui, who was possessed behind him, behaved differently from ordinary people, which proved that this was by no means impossible.

"are you……"

  Zhu Qingyue stared at Xu Xiangyang, who seemed to be in a daze, and asked carefully:

   "What do you know?"

"……what?"

  Xu Xiangyang raised his head suddenly and stared at her face.

  What does this mean?

   "Ah, that... I mean, your sister looks like a policeman. Will she reveal the case to you... or something."

Zhu Qingyue, who was a little embarrassed by Xu Xiangyang's scorching eyes, quickly explained.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to inquire about your family situation. I saw it when I helped the teacher organize the files of the parent conference last time. In our grade, there are parents of students who are engaged in the police business. You are the only one, so I will write it down. Up."

  ... That's how she meant it.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that he was really nervous. He coughed and replied.

  "This kind of thing violates the regulations, and her sister will definitely not do it."

  Of course, he will not lie on this issue just to strengthen his persuasive power, but he understands better that if he continues to entangle himself in this way, there will be no results.

  Even Zhu Qingyue was skeptical, and the rest of the class would definitely not listen to him.

   "Anyway, I have a suggestion." Xu Xiangyang quickly came up with a compromise idea, "For the sake of insurance, let's go to the doorman to inquire and report the situation by the way? So that everyone can feel at ease."

  Zhu Qingyue hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded gently.

  *

The tall girl with braids stood up and walked back and forth on the empty corridor between the two rows of tables and chairs with the Chinese textbook, looking like she was reciting the text, but her eyes kept consciously or unconsciously looking at the two people standing in the corridor outside the window. .

  She walked slowly to the thin boy wearing glasses and plaid shirt in the back row.

   "The boy in class I seems to have a very happy chat with the class leader."

  The braided girl sat down in front of him and whispered in an inaudible tone.

  The boy wearing glasses raised his head, but stared at her without speaking.

"Don't look at me like that." The girl said, "As the saying goes,'Fat water does not flow into the field of foreigners.' Even if the squad leader really wants to fall in love with a man, I hope she is talking to a boy in Class 5. With others The people in the class are getting better... how do you say,'Not conducive to the unity of the class'?"

  Speaking of this, she laughed to herself.

  The boy with glasses still didn't answer. The girl with braid felt a little boring, so she stood up behind her and dropped a sentence lightly:

   "I'll help you, at least don't let the two of them have the opportunity to get along with each other and increase their relationship."

  After that, the girl with braid raised the volume so that everyone in the classroom can hear her.

  "——I want to go to the bathroom, is there anyone to accompany me?"

  ……

   "Qingyue, we are going out to pour some water, are you going?"

  While the two of them were talking, a group of girls came out from the back door, and someone shouted at her with a smile.

   "Hey, this..."

  Zhu Qingyue frowned slightly, and while hesitating, he heard Xu Xiangyang say:

   "It's okay, I'll just go alone."

"……is it okay?"

   "Squad leader Zhu, I understand a little bit what you said before." He shrugged and sighed, "It's not necessarily a good thing to have more friends."

"what?"

  The girl still didn't react.

"Let’s say you, every time you go to the bathroom, you have to be accompanied by a group of people like a lady in the harem on a trip; when others want to go, if you have nothing serious about it, you have to return to this affection. As soon as I went, it was like acting in a palace drama," he sighed exaggeratedly, spreading his hands, "Obviously it's a very meaningless thing, but everyone likes it, it's really hard to understand."

  Zhu Qingyue couldn't help but laughed "Puff", and nodded in agreement.

   "It's true...but I don't hate it."

"Really?"

"At this point, it would be nice for someone to accompany me to the toilet." She replied with a smile, "Just now I listened to classmate Xu and you analyzed it for a while. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this night seems to be really wrong. I'm afraid."

   "Qingyue, are you coming or not?"

  This time it was the turn of the braided girl to shout.

   "Okay~ I'm here."

  Zhu Qingyue turned her head and replied loudly, then smiled and waved at him.

  "Then, the safety of all of us depends on you, classmate Xu Xiangyang~"

  *

  Xu Xiangyang walked downstairs slowly, and when he left, the classroom was brightly lit.

  The school gate is on the opposite corner of the first floor of the teaching building, and the guard room is actually very close to them.

   Passing by the lawn facing the school entrance and the path with two rows of flower pots on the left and right sides, when he was about to walk to the guard room, he subconsciously looked back at the teaching building behind him.

  At this glance, Xu Xiangyang stopped, his pupils contracted slightly in surprise, and a chill rose in his back.

"what?"

  ...For some reason, he couldn't see the second and fifth grade of high school behind him.

The    light goes out. The whole corridor was completely dark.
