Invade the World

  Chapter 63 The Intruder in the House

  Zhu Qingyue was taken aback.

  The girl's eyes widened. When she wanted to see what was going on, there was only pitch black on the glass window. The shadow that passed by just now seemed to be just her illusion.

  Zhu Qingyue stood in place.

  She suddenly felt that the room was a little bit cold.

  The wooden floor of the corridor is continuously transmitting the cold air to the soles of the shoes, and then from the soles of the shoes to the whole body. No matter how tightly wrapped the body is, it is difficult to dispel the gloomy chill.

   Is it really an illusion? She can't deny this possibility. It is true that people are prone to hallucinations when their nerves are high, and what they will see and what they see sometimes cannot be determined with eyes alone.

   But whether it is or not, you have to be psychologically prepared, rather than being lucky and turning a blind eye to possible threats.

  Zhu Qingyue stiffly walked back to the bathroom and closed the door locked.

  She leaned against the cold door panel behind her, let out a long sigh of relief, looked at herself in the mirror, and began to calmly think about it.

  One thought after another came to mind, and then she rejected them one by one.

  First of all, who is that figure?

  Although there is a long corridor in the middle, and the sighting scene is fleeting, Zhu Qingyue still feels a sense of familiarity.

  The distorted and weird posture of the human body, even if you want to forget it, you can’t forget it, there is a high probability that it is the lunatic who invaded the campus!

  Go downstairs and call the police now? Or to inform the security personnel in the community that these two options can be regarded as the same type for the time being, and they can be done at the same time...

  However, even so, it is still not enough insurance.

   Regardless of the time issue, with this guy's speed of action and his athletic ability to climb up a dozen or so-story high-rise buildings, it is likely that those who came to survey the scene would not notice.

  Also consider the consequences: the weird man who invaded the school can fly over the walls, which she has witnessed. Since it will come for the first time, there will be a second time. Even if it is driven away, it will come back. On the contrary, she may become a child in the wolf coming. She doesn't want to be the kind of curiosity to call 110. Those who had to go to the police uncle to receive education...

  Go to ask for help from someone who can really solve the situation?

  If it were those two people, there might be some way.

  ...Unfortunately, she did not know the contact information of Xu Xiangyang or Lin Xingjie.

   Hide first?

  Closet, or in the closet? A room that you don't normally use? Lock the bedroom? Is it necessary to lock all the windows and then block the doors with furniture? Does it work? Or should I do more simply and leave home immediately?

Before she knew it, Zhu Qingyue walked from the door to the bathtub. She leaned against the tiled wall, looking at the direction of the door in a daze, looking from the door to the sink to the fluorescent tube... The girl took a deep breath several times, under her pajamas. The chest rises slightly.

  Zhu Qingyue saw a small black shadow flashing on the fluorescent tube, it was probably a light-tending fly rushing on it.

  Yes, yes!

  At this moment, she suddenly thought of something.

-Light!

   Just like moths fighting the fire, flying insects that love light and heat, there are also creatures that love darkness and hate light.

  That monster is afraid of light!

  The first time Zhu Qingyue made bold speculations based on the logic of its actions before turning off the lights, but it was really caught off guard by turning on the lights; the second time was to seize the opportunity and illuminate the eyeballs directly with a flashlight.

  The results obtained after these two practices are enough to draw conclusions.

  In contrast, Zhu Qingyue’s house is too dark. If it weren't for the necessary lights at night, she wouldn't turn it on at all.

  It won’t work at all, if that guy really invades the room...

  Zhu Qingyue made up her mind, immediately opened the door and ran out of the corridor.

   "Pattern!"

  The rapid sound of slippers and the floor colliding with each other.

  From upstairs to downstairs, from east to west, the girl ran back and forth in the empty room, as if hiding an invisible enemy.

Zhu Qingyue ran up and down in her own home. After running out of breath, the results obtained. First of all, he found two flashlights, one large and one small, from the cabinet, as well as spare batteries. Then he put the stairs, corridors, front door, kitchen, Bathrooms, laundry rooms, utility rooms...every light in every room, including wall lamps and desk lamps in the room, are all turned on!

  For a time, the originally dark room became bright and bright everywhere, like a hotel lobby where a banquet was held, but the guests had not yet arrived.

  Of course, Zhu Qingyue will not forget the bedroom located upstairs.

  Fortunately, my mother should be asleep now, otherwise she might get angry.

  She also called the patrolling people in the security room to check the situation through the calling device next to the doorbell, saying, "I saw strangers I don't know, and I was afraid of being a robber or a thief."

  Although ordinary people are not expected to help solve the problem, as long as someone else comes over, they may be daunted by the intruder.

  After finishing all this, Zhu Qingyue came back to the corridor outside her bedroom.

  Because of this late-night run, the girl’s cheeks were red and her nose was stained with crystal clear sweat.

   Holding a clothes rail in her hand, she took a cautious step, approaching the window at the end of the corridor very lightly.

  Looking from a far distance, you can only see a deep blackness; but only when you get closer, you can see the shadowy outline of the house in the night, the convex edges and corners of the outer wall, and the garden, rockery and lawn overlooking the garden, rockery and lawn.

…nobody.

  She turned on the flashlight, pushed the window open with the clothes rail, and stood there waiting for a while.

  The night breeze swept through and poured into the corridor through the window, and the curtains on both sides were blown up like a scarf that was fluttering.

  Zhu Qingyue walked to the window sill and shone the flashlight outside.

  The light released by the household flashlight did not have such a strong penetrating power. The end of the beam of light shining into the night quickly dimmed, and it was completely submerged in the night without extending it far.

  The girl lay on the window sill, her head to the left and right, her gaze up and down, the dim beam of light swayed back and forth on the rough wall, leaving oval light spots.

  Sure enough, it was still empty, there was nothing.

  It may have climbed far, or it may be...

  Zhu Qingyue felt cold, her face stiffened by the night wind, she closed the window, locked it, and then closed the curtain.

   Is it just accidental? she thinks.

  There may be more than one monster in this world, so even if "seeing a crawling figure on a window of a dozen stories high" is not an illusion, the other party may just pass by.

  Conversely, if the monster that just climbed the wall just now is really the weird person I met tonight, then there is a high probability that it was directed at her...

  The reason?

  Zhu Qingyue can’t understand.

  ...

  She went to the first floor and sat quietly on the sofa in the living room. After waiting for a while, sleepiness gradually emerged in her mind.

  I originally came back today later than usual, plus the trouble just now, it has exceeded the planned sleep time.

  The wall clock on the wall points to one o'clock in the morning.

   "Boom boom."

  The door was knocked.

  Zhu Qingyue was startled at first, and then she heard the voice of someone talking outside.

   "Is anyone at home? I am the security guard. Someone contacted us just now."

  Zhu Qingyue walked to the door and looked out through the cat’s eyes.

   is indeed a person wearing a security uniform, and she often sees this person standing guard in the guard room.

   "It's okay so far, but I just saw..."

  Zhu Qingyue opened the small window on the door and talked to the security guard for a while through the glass panel.

  The other party said that no suspicious persons were seen passing along the way. Tonight, we will arrange to increase the patrol of nearby floors, and ask her to contact her if she finds any more.

After watching the security guard leave, Zhu Qingyue couldn't help sighing.

  Just as she thought, facing monsters beyond imagination, there are not many things that ordinary people can do.

  It's hard to get them to pay attention.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, a wall of a dozen stories high is like a cliff wall, and there is no place to climb. Although there are edges and corners, wall joints, and window sills, they are not enough to gain a foothold.

   Even if an intruder who can climb forty to fifty meters without the help of any tools is made up, it is difficult for a dubious patrol officer to spot a monster operating in the dark.

"Ugh…"

  Zhu Qingyue rubbed her eyes and decided to take a rest first. Driven by her fatigue, she went up the stairs and walked in the direction of her bedroom.

  From the room to the corridor, it was as bright as daylight all the way, but it was a bit uncomfortable for her to get used to working hard in the dark house at night.

  Just stepping into the room, Zhu Qingyue couldn't help but shiver.

  The wind coming in from the window, "Hua La La", blew open the books on the table.

  She quickly closed the open glass window, took off her shoes, and slowly climbed onto the bed.

  The cold and exhausted body gradually warmed up under the blanket.

  The girl closed her eyes to rest, but found that she couldn't sleep a bit.

  I don’t know if it’s because of the lingering worries in my heart or the light in the bedroom.

  Her eyelids quivered slightly, and her eyeballs could feel a little light falling down, and she always felt a little uncomfortable. Even her breathing became abnormally heavy, like...

  ...

  Wait, breathe?

  Zhu Qingyue noticed something wrong, she kept her eyes closed, but quietly held her breath.

   Then, something that made the girl lying on the bed creepy happened:

  The breathing in the bedroom did not stop!

  It was clear that she hadn't made a sound anymore, but the close breath was still reverberating in the room.

  Zhu Qingyue only felt as if she was lying in an ice cave, her hands and feet became cold like corpses. The thick bedding can no longer give the body any warmth this time.

  The heart in the chest cavity "pounded", but the body became a piece of wood and could not move.

Where is   , where is it?

  Where did the breathing come from?

Is    mother? Could it be that she walked out of her room?

The girl finally mustered up the courage and opened her eyelids slightly, her thick and dense eyelashes blocked her vision like a curtain, making the nearby scenery blurred, but she could still see clearly. There was no one in the room except myself lying on the bed.

  The door is still closed there.

  Look across the long table, bookcase, chair, vanity mirror, and window in the room one by one—

  At this moment, Zhu Qingyue suddenly remembered something.

  She used to study hard at the desk before leaving the bedroom to go to the bathroom. The window should be closed at that time; but when she came back from the living room, she closed the window again...

  Sure enough, someone broke in!

  Zhu Qingyue's breathing became flustered again, almost coughing. She tried to calm her heartbeat, if it was too fast, she might be found abnormal by the intruder.

  At this time, she could already recognize where the second breathing sound in the bedroom came from.

  In fact, you can guess the answer by guessing with your head.

  In the whole bright bedroom, there is only one place that can not be found by the girl and can be used to hide.

  —Under her bed.

  The dull breathing sound came from under her.

  Zhu Qingyue's palms held the quilt tightly, trying to pretend that she hadn't heard anything, and once again adjusted her breathing to the same frequency as the intruder, concealing it in a state where she found nothing.

  However, the “person” lying under the bed refused to let her go.

  "Kera—Kera—"

  A sharp and harsh sound reverberated in the bedroom, making people feel uncomfortable, like scratching a blackboard with glass shards.

  She soon realized that it was the sound of nails scratching the bed.
