Invade the World

  Chapter 456 Don't be afraid of this world

   “…successful.”

  Finally, Xu Xiangyang opened his eyes and sighed contentedly.

  He was lying on a broken slab of stone, and the slab seemed to have just been peeled off from the building, floating in the sky.

  Looking up at the sky with this posture, you can see countless large or small building fragments floating in the air, circling along a specific track, like a spiral bridge leading to the end of the world.

Xu Xiangyang glanced down; he found that the entire haunted house—the ghost city created by the fake Qingyue and re-enacted based on Jinjiang City—has completely lost its original appearance and has become torn apart, including roads, Houses and underground plumbing systems, shattered into thousands of pieces.

Based on the overall volume of Jinjiang City, after such a split, its fragments are enough to flood 10,000 garbage dumps, but when they are scattered into the vast open background, they are inconspicuous at all, leaving only dust-like Tiny black dots floating around.

  —Undoubtedly, the endless and empty background reflected in his eyes is the distance.

  A dark and boundless world...

   What is amazing is that this place is clearly surrounded by darkness, but it is as bright as day, as if even the darkness itself has turned into light, falling on his face.

  Better than the sea and sky that covered the planet, when he looked up at the center of the world, it was like seeing another universe.

As far as the eye can see, huge groups of whales can still be seen swimming among the black spots built by the ruins of the city. They are wandering leisurely and singing freely. The sound can be heard even if it is nearly a hundred kilometers away. Clearly.

   It is really a scene full of fantasy.

   "It's 'Whale Song'..."

  Xu Xiangyang said with emotion.

  In the real world, Xiao An’s voice is inaudible, but those with keen inspiration can feel the silent long cry, which can make the atmosphere of the whole world tremble, but it cannot shake the eardrums of mere human beings.

  However, he is now in a distant place, so he can hear the other party's voice clearly.

A haunted house is a place where reality and the distant world meet; in other words, it is a buffer zone between the two worlds. Whether humans enter the distant world or the residents of the distant world want to invade the real world, they all need to go through a similar intermediate space. zone.

  And when the haunted house is destroyed by the aftermath of the massive battle between the gods and the media, the people in the haunted house naturally fall into the real faraway place, and this process is like the soul falling into **** after death.

   "Speaking of which, isn't it the first time I've come here in person?"

  Xu Xiangyang has only seen the distant place outside the haunted house, and heard about it from Xingjie or Qingyue. Even if he has been to the beach near the sea of ​​chaos, he still exists in the form of a conscious body at that time.

   Now, it is the first time for him to truly enter the distant land with his physical body.

   To some extent, it may be the first person in human history? Just like Gagarin, the first Soviet cosmonaut to step into outer space.

   "Will there be any problems? Will it affect the body? Will there be a lot of cosmic radiation like the real universe? I don't feel much..."

  And, since Xiao An is here, Ming Mingjie should have the upper hand, right? It's just that Xu Xiangyang can't see her now.

   It seems that the last battle has also been decided...

  Xu Xiangyang muttered nonsense words that even he couldn't understand, and then sat up from the stone slab. He held his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

  He was already used to this feeling, which was the sequelae of excessive use of psychic ability: headache, even to the point of piercing the bone; amazing fatigue, a wave of drowsiness enough to completely overwhelm consciousness.

  Although it was hard work, Xu Xiangyang was content with it, and the only thing left was joy: being able to save Qingyue at the last moment, it was really worth paying the price.

  … No, wait, did I really save her?

  He suddenly began to feel uneasy.

  At the last moment, Xu Xiangyang's consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and he was too weak to maintain his existence, let alone do anything for that child;

  However, ten years later, Qingyue's consciousness awakened in him at that moment. After combining with the squad leader's power, Xu Xiangyang expended the last of his strength and successfully opened the door; at the same time, he had to leave with his lover because of his complete power loss.

   In terms of purpose, he has fulfilled his wish; after miraculously traveling through time and space, he has accomplished a new miracle.

  But until the end, Xu Xiangyang was unable to witness the appearance of the young girl coming out of the back room with his own eyes, let alone the opportunity to confirm whether she was still alive.

  As the joy gradually receded, he couldn't help thinking about it: Could it be that Xiao Qingyue still didn't want to come out after he left?

  The little girl has only been in elementary school for a few years, and her spirit has been hit hard by her parents leaving one after another, and her mentality has a serious negative tendency.

  The reason why she is unwilling to go out, even if she is sick, she would rather stay at home and wait to die. Apart from the fact that the door itself is blocked by the power of the gods and cannot be opened, there is also a clear resistance to the matter of "going out".

  This awkward and stubborn idea even affected the future squad leader...

   In the final analysis, the owner of this body is Zhu Qingyue. If she had no psychological weakness and insisted on herself no matter what, this riot would not have happened from the beginning.

  The situation at that time was that no matter how hard Xu Xiangyang tried to persuade her, she had no intention of coming out. But he was unwilling to give up, and before disappearing, Xu Xiangyang had time to say the last word.

  He said it, but he didn't know if she would listen or not.

  Will it be too difficult to understand?

  Xu Xiangyang was in deep thought when he suddenly felt that the light falling on his face disappeared, and the world around him suddenly darkened.

"Um?"

  He turned his head in amazement, and saw a huge and continuous shadow like a mountain range quickly extending from one end of the world.

"…Um??"

  In the vast world like the universe, a huge face covers the sky and the sun, overlooking the floating "Jinjiang City".

  Because the area of ​​this face is too large, the straight bridge of the nose and the curve of the lips are spreading towards the invisible end; the two eyeballs are like celestial bodies, or undulating domes.

   It is difficult for him to see the complete facial features as a whole, and as a result, they are recognized as separate parts. Xu Xiangyang managed to put them together like a puzzle through the operation of his brain—

   Then, at this moment, he realized that it was a face that was so familiar to him that he couldn't be more familiar with it.

   That's Lin Xingjie.

  The last time, in order to expel all the people from the stargazing party and the intervention of foreign gods, except for the whales, she showed another irresistible power:

  The newly born divine medium summoned a giant **** with a height of more than 15,000 meters. When he stepped on the ground, he could directly penetrate the atmosphere just by raising his chest and head up.

However, different from the blurred and human-like appearance built by the black mud before, today's giant **** is like Lin Xingjie's whole body magnified tens of millions of times. The mother goddess who created celestial bodies and human beings in myths all over the world is nothing more than in this way.

   "You...don't be scary..."

  Xu Xiangyang has experienced a lot, but when he saw this scene, he still felt like his heart stopped suddenly.

  The gigantic goddess "Haha" laughed, with an expression of a successful prank.

  Her voice is still clear and moving, but after being magnified a billion times, it has become as bright as thunder that resounds through the sky.

   "Have you rescued Qingyue?"

   "I don't know." Xu Xiangyang shook his head honestly, "I hope I succeed, but..."

   "Don't worry. At the last moment of the battle with me, the hive mother disappeared. Otherwise, even if I can take advantage of the situation, it is still impossible to completely disperse it. There is only one reason for this situation, do you understand?"

  Lin Xingjie is very confident in her judgment.

"Just like you?"

   "Well, it's the same as me. From then on, that 'Nest Mother' is the owner's thing, so its rampage will stop."

  Xu Xiangyang opened his mouth, and when he wanted to continue asking, he suddenly heard someone shouting.

  The amazing thing is that the voice came from above.

   "Ahhhhh—"

   There were exclamations from the sky, from far to near.

   Although there was surprise in the exaggerated shouting, there was no fear at all.

  Xu Xiangyang quickly raised his head, and—

  He saw a shadow.

   Light and fluttering, she fell like a dandelion.

  He stretched out his arms subconsciously, hugging the girl who fell from the sky.

   "Xiangyang, Xingjie, I'm back!"

  Zhu Qingyue stretched her hands as far as she could in her lover's arms, and then raised her feet, acting as naughty as a child; the smile on her face was as bright as flowers blooming on a warm spring day.

   "Is it done?" Lin Xingjie asked.

   "It's done!" Zhu Qingyue said, "Now I, like you, have become a real divine medium, and the nest mother won't make trouble anymore."

   "Can I go back?" Xu Xiangyang asked.

   "Yes!" Zhu Qingyue said, "Let's go back."

   "This time, we will not be separated again."

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie looked at each other and smiled.

  The gathering of three people here symbolizes that this story about love and adventure is finally coming to an end—

  *

  Go back in time and go back to ten years ago.

  The once happy family of three has now been transformed into a nest mother's lair by the resurrected demon, leaving only one living person.

   That was a little girl named Zhu Qingyue.

  Originally, she might die today; and after that, the nest mother will occupy her body, just like Zhang Hong.

  Although Ningshen has the instinctive impulse to invade the human world, if he simply wants to infiltrate his tentacles of power into the real world, there is actually one of the most obvious ways: that is to find a suitable human object and let him become a divine medium.

   But the problem with this is that the gods and media are like two people reflected in a mirror, and their status is equal; whether to use this power depends entirely on the will of that human being.

The nest mother does not have the intelligence of human cognition, but only animal instincts, but it obviously does not want to be restricted, what it expects is to invade the earth before its "kin" The ancient homeland is taken as its own and turned into a nest for raising and multiplying offspring.

  So, its approach is to find those walking corpses that have lost most of their will and lack of self to occupy; and after they die, they look for new alternative targets.

Such a target is not easy to find. First of all, it cannot be a real dead person, but a person who has "lost himself". The spirit must undergo a major blow or long-term torture, which is close to a vegetable; The requirements for personal qualifications are no different from those of divine media.

  However, the nest mother has already taken the first step, and the human being who once stood at the forefront of resisting it is the best target; and her daughter also inherited the mother's excellent talent.

With the first one and the second one, it is no longer difficult to find the third one. Once the sycophant power that occupies the magpie's nest is familiar with human society, its power in the shadows will grow like a snowball .

  But all of this has come to an abrupt end today.

Fortunately, the nest mother really has no intelligence or emotion. Even if the plan fails, it will not feel "angry". It just quietly withdraws its tentacles when it realizes that the goal is difficult to achieve, and allows its own power to be used by a little girl .

  Although I don’t want to be used by the media, at least it’s better than quitting this world forever...

  At least, the former still has hope: when the divine medium lacks willpower and loses control again, it still has a chance to make a comeback.

   Judging from the future results, the nest mother's plan has not come to nothing.

  Realistically speaking, Zhu Qingyue, who was only eight years old at this time, saved the city; however, this was a war that no one knew the exact process, and no matter whether it happened or ended, it was a silent war.

   Even Zhu Qingyue herself didn't know.

  For her, there are only choices in front of her eyes:

  Stay inside, or go out?

   Just wait for death in silence, or live?

No matter which option is possible, there is no balance in the world that can perfectly measure the weight of the various beliefs in her mind, and she has lost the fear of death, and the torment of illness and fatigue makes it difficult for her to think normally …

  So, no matter how you choose, it is possible.

  The reason why the result is biased to one side may be just accidental.

   But no matter what, the girl finally took the first step, followed by the second staggering step, pushed the open door and left behind, and took the third step of deciding to survive.

  When she was panting weakly and leaning her shoulders against the door frame, a voice rang in her ear, weak but clear.

   Is it... is it left by the person who just knocked on the door? she thinks.

   Those words came from a distant ten years later, a word of encouragement that she could not quite understand the meaning of when she was still young. However, when the emotions contained in these words flowed through my heart like warmth, the kindness in them was so real that even a drowsy child could still hear clearly:

"do not be afraid."

   "Don't be afraid...the world where you and I will meet again."
