Invade the World

   Chapter 454 Miracle

  In the beginning, even if he tried his best, he could only make the door tremble a little, and he couldn't see the amplitude of the vibration at all, let alone hear the sound. It was impossible to attract the attention of the people inside.

   But this is just the beginning.

   He has only one chance. Using channeling wholeheartedly, once this power is unsustainable, his consciousness will dissipate in an instant.

  Xu Xiangyang's channeling is to seize the loophole exposed when the fake Qingyue and Qingyue are integrated, and the opportunity is fleeting - it may even be the last chance to rescue Qingyue.

   There is no next time.

   But he decisively chose to do it at this moment and bet everything he had.

  The amplitude of the door's vibration was getting bigger and bigger, and finally, the invisible hand knocked on the door, and the vibration caused by it was like the waves rippling on the lake.

"boom!"

The sound of    traveling through time and space, separated by a door, rang in the ears of two people who lived in the past and the present at the same time.

  *

   The icy room transformed into a deep forest, and the dew coming from the darkness wetted her feet.

  Zhu Qingyue realizes that death is approaching. Yet in her young mind there was no fear, there was just a curious sense of curiosity mixed with a desire for liberation...

  Suddenly, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

   A knock on the door close at hand.

   The girl sitting by the bed's eyes widened, staring blankly at the bedroom door.

   Although the sound was not loud, it was just a rapid count; but when it echoed in this room, which was originally silent and narrow like a tomb, it was especially clear.

who is it?

  Who is outside?

The    knock on the door lasted for a short time, and then the door became silent again, but the little girl's heart suddenly lifted to her throat.

   This is a very strange thing. Because there could be no one outside the bedroom, there was no one else in the whole house, the door was locked, and she checked it when she came in.

   If it is the sound of knocking on the door, it would be better to say; knocking on the bedroom door, doesn't it mean that the other party has invaded the house, and there is only one door between her and her mother at this moment?

who is it? Is it a thief?

   But how could a thief knock on the door politely...

   This sudden incident made the little girl who was unconscious suddenly wake up. Instead of thinking about death, she stared nervously at the door and began to consider whether she should call the police.

  Zhu Qingyue sat stiffly on the edge of the bed. She wanted to run away, but she didn't even have the strength to get up. She wanted to find a place to hide and didn't know where to go. The only thing she could do was curl up hard...

  *

  Xu Xiangyang was overwhelmed with surprise, and once again squeezed all his strength, so that the hand that traveled through time and space was reunited.

   Although he couldn't see Qingyue's current appearance through the door, he could hear the little girl's noise, which meant that she really heard the knock on the door.

   His actions are not meaningless, but he really goes back to the past and has the possibility to save his lover—

   That's right, since we can communicate each other's voices, if I say it directly, the other side can also hear it, right?

  Thinking of this, he quickly shouted the girl's name:

   "Qingyue! Qingyue!"

  *

   After waiting for a while, the girl found that the people outside the door were silent, and they did not mean to break in and break in.

   A strange curiosity gradually overwhelmed the fear, the girl still didn't move, just dropped her gaze under the crack of the door...

   Then, she finally realized something—

   This guy has no feet!

   Not only that, the lights were on on the stairs, and the dim yellow light was projected from the other end, and she found that she couldn't even see the shadow of the other party...

  The girl trembled all over.

   is a ghost? ghost?

   She couldn't help but reach out and cover her forehead.

  …still hot.

   Do you have a fever to the point of confusion?

   At this moment, the knock on the door rang again, mixed with human voices.

   "Qingyue...Qingyue..."

   The little girl shrank her neck, and her whole body curled up nervously again.

   That voice was not from Mom calling her name, but from the direction outside the door!

   Her heart was pounding with tension.

   Who is that guy? Do you still know your name?

   "Qingyue...Qingyue..."

   A low, eerie cry.

   couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, quietly echoing in the dark bedroom. It just makes people feel terrible.

  The voice sounded a little fuzzy, like the sound from an old tape recorder, mixed with anxiety noise, and it was very similar to the voice of the ghost in the movie.

  The girl is almost convinced of something at this time: the person knocking on the door, the person calling her name... It must not be a person!

   The voice outside the door shouted for a long time, but she never dared to respond.

The little girl had heard ghost stories from her mother a long time ago: If you are in a place where no one is - such as an empty house, or if you are walking alone on a quiet mountain road in the middle of the night, if someone calls your name, don't Turn back and don't agree subconsciously, or the monsters may find you and eat you.

   Until the voice outside the door slowly became louder, full of anxiety. As if someone was roaring from afar, the little girl responded timidly:

   "You... Who are you? Dad? Or mother-in-law?"

   However, no matter how she shouted, she called out all the people she knew, but the people outside the door never responded, only the voice calling "Qingyue" was always lingering outside the door like a ghost, refusing to disperse...

  *

   Xu Xiangyang's excitement did not last long.

   Soon, he found that his power was rapidly declining, and it would not take too long for his consciousness to completely dissipate.

   Light travels through time and space itself, which sounds like a "miracle", a unique opportunity in human history, considered by modern science to be impossible, and an opportunity that will only appear in science fiction and movies—

   However, the reality is not that after a "miracle" happens, everything can be declared OK.

   And after that?

   Even if I could convey my voice to someone ten years ago, what would I have to do to get her out of the room?

  If you haven't changed anything, wouldn't this miracle be wasted in vain?

  Xu Xiangyang's thinking is almost inevitably pessimistic, his brain is scorched by the burning fire of anxiety, and his mind keeps sinking.

   Whether he knocked on the door or shouted, all the girl in the room heard him, but she had absolutely no intention of coming out.

   "Damn..."

  Xu Xiangyang felt that if he was not a conscious body, his expression would be very distorted at this moment, and he would even cry bitterly.

   This is not an exaggeration.

  Because, even he could hear the choked sobbing in his voice... Maybe he was also heard by her on the other side of the door.

  *

   "Qingyue...Qingyue..."

The    voice lingered for a long time, and she even heard the strange sobbing mixed with it, more like a female ghost. But the girl is not sure, it is possible that it is all just her own delusion.

   "Come out...Come out..."

After shouting    indistinctly, the other party seemed to think it was pointless to go on like this, so he changed his lines.

  Who will come out!

   The little girl shrank even more.

   She remembered the nursery rhyme "Little Rabbit" taught by the kindergarten teacher. She knew that if she was an obedient and good child, she should never open the door at this time.

   "Qingyue... Come out... Come out..."

   The people outside the door seemed to find that there was no way to seduce her, so they simply invited her out to play.

  The girl didn't move, mumbling the nursery rhyme silently.

   "I won't drive if I don't open it. If my mother doesn't come back, I won't drive if anyone comes."

  Mom... Her mother is not only "not coming back", she is seriously ill and lying in bed, she has no ability to protect and help her, the girl can only rely on herself.

   She wrapped her hands around her knees and buried her face in it, as if she had locked herself in that small closed world, unwilling to think about her mother, and ignoring the tireless calls outside the door.

   That’s it, I don’t know how long time has passed—

   Waiting for Zhu Qingyue to keep this posture until she became impatient, a peculiar emotion gradually emerged, it grew slowly, and stuck her head out from the bottom of her heart:

  …Let’s go and have a look?

   She is not so scared now. Because the voice lingering outside the door was strange and gloomy, but it never meant to come in, but kept saying "come out, come out quickly". In other words, the guy couldn't get in.

   Then what's so scary?

  Thinking of this, the little girl finally stood up staggeringly, moved carefully step by step, and walked slowly to the door.

   She pressed her profile face against the door panel, listening to the sound coming from the other side of the door.

   "Qingyue... Come out... Come out..."

   The voice was vague and faint, as if inviting her to come out to play.

   Hmm... The little girl thought to herself, it's still a bit scary.

   Fortunately, this voice does not possess the demagogic power of witches or devils in fairy tales, but a futile and powerless call, and she will not be deceived by this and go out the door foolishly.

  Since the other party can't come in, the room is obviously the safest.

   But right now!

  —“Boom!”

   It was as if someone had punched it heavily, and there was a heavy muffled sound on the door. Because the girl's ears were still pressed against the door, it sounded like she was only a short distance away.

  Zhu Qingyue was so frightened that she quickly backed away.

  No, no, no, no—

   I really can't go out!

   It was horrible outside.

   But at this moment…

   On this side of the door, a gentle wind blew in the room.

   It gently supported the little girl's back, as if an invisible person opened her gentle arms and embraced her.

   The man was attached to her ear and said softly:

"Do not be afraid."

Eh…?

  Zhu Qingyue's thinking froze.

   Who is this?

   But the person behind Zhu Qingyue felt so familiar that she instinctively felt that it was impossible not to know her.

   This is really contradictory, obviously my mother is dead and my father has left, there will be no one else in this family but myself—

   Where did a familiar stranger appear?

   Is it an illusion again?

The hands stretched out from behind   ... Obviously, the touch is more ethereal than any hallucination she has seen before, and it feels like it doesn't exist at all; but the warmth conveyed by this hug is unprecedented sincerity.

  Zhu Qingyue couldn't understand at all, the thoughts in her little head were chaotic, and it had boiled into a pot of paste.

   "Don't be afraid, that's someone you've never seen before, what's there to be afraid of?"

  But, but, there is no one else here—

   "If you really can't put your mind down," the voice said to her, "then open the door and have a look, touch him, touch him, and see if he is really that scary."

  *

  Xu Xiangyang felt that he was kneeling in front of the door, his palms hanging down weakly.

   He didn't have the strength to knock on the door again, and his voice seemed to be blocked, so he couldn't make any sound.

   His consciousness has begun to blur, as if heavy rain of tears soaked his face.

  These "feelings" are reflected in the conscious body, all telling the same thing:

  The time he spent here was running out.

   Damn, did you use too much force just now? Consciousness dissipates faster than expected...

  Me, I'm too late-

  Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have time to despair.

at this time…

On the other side of the door, there was a gentle wind blowing in the corridor.

   As if an invisible man opened his tender arms and embraced him from behind.

  Xu Xiangyang was silent for a while, then turned to hold the opponent's hand.

   "...Qingyue?"

   "Well, I'm here."
