Invade the World

  Chapter 68 Ambiguous Face

  When Zhu Qingyue, who was standing on the stairs, watched the long-haired girl's back away from her, she inevitably thought of Xu Xiangyang's back not long ago.

  So, this idea naturally came to the girl’s mind:

  If, if I honestly tell them what happened last night, will their minds change?

  The answer is yes.

  Student Xu is a good person, and although classmate Lin likes to choke people, she can still feel the kindness in her heart.

  They will definitely find a way to help me.

  But Zhu Qingyue quickly rejected this idea.

  In fact, if the target is not these two people, if she is not the one who can be friends in her mind, she will not even have the thought of hesitation.

  She would rather go to the haunted house in Xu Xiangyang's mouth. Although there is a huge risk of being killed by a ghost, maybe it can really stimulate one's own superpowers...

  Haha, what a joke that is not too funny.

   "Da."

   Zhu Qingyue, who was standing on the steps, walked down one step.

  It is bright and sunny, but most of the line of defense extended by the stairs below is blocked by shadows and the light is dim.

  Her vision is as ambiguous as the future in front of her.

  The answer is of course no.

  The reason is very simple, because that home...now can’t entertain guests. The mother who was hiding in that room was still unable to see anyone, so she couldn't bring anyone to the house.

  There is no possibility of being discovered at all.

  Wait for the day when mom gets better, if that day comes...

  What am I dreaming about?

  Recalling how he was hesitant in front of Xu Xiangyang just now, I am afraid that everyone could see the shaking in her heart, Zhu Qingyue felt hot on her face.

  Is he hesitated because he felt that he might become a friend, or was he afraid of the threat of death, and was afraid that his willpower would become weak?

  But well, she would never believe the words "I'm about to cry" as Classmate Lin said.

  Zhu Qingyue is very clear about her affairs, and smiles whenever she is, this is herself.

"Da da da."

  A few boys ran past her and greeted her:

   "Squad leader, are you okay?"

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and shook her head.

   "It's okay, I'll go to the bathroom and go back to the classroom immediately."

  She watched them with eyes that were a little afraid to meet her, with a slightly restless expression, knowing that her smile was still perfect.

  ...

After bidding farewell to the boy companion, Zhu Qingyue walked to the bathroom.

  Because every classroom is in class at the moment, there is no one else in the bathroom.

  The surrounding environment is so quiet that it makes people feel uncomfortable even in broad daylight.

  Zhu Qingyue felt that only in this kind of place would the mood really calm down.

  She stood silent for a while facing the mirror on the sink.

  Porcelain doll...?

  Lin Xingjie’s description is very accurate, she herself can't think of a second better term. Is this amazing intuition also a kind of "superpower"?

  She stroked her cheek, quietly, trying to press her lips down.

  In fact, looking at the expressionless person in the mirror, even Zhu Qingyue would feel scared.

  She even couldn't help but wonder: Is the person reflected in the mirror really herself?

  Snow-white skin, beautiful facial features, eyebrows, eyelashes and hair tips that are carefully trimmed every morning, creating an artificial exquisiteness.

   looks very similar, rather than exactly the same. But because the girl in the mirror is not smiling at all, she looks very...

horrible.

   Those pupils without any emotion, it is as if they are facing a mirror in a dark and dark secret room, but they can't see where they are so terrible.

  So, the corners of the ruddy lips rose up again, revealing the arc that has been deeply burned into the instinct after countless exercises.

"…Hey."

  Zhu Qingyue held her cheek, and then made a cheer for the girl in the mirror who was smiling and beautiful.

   "Come on! Qingyue, you can do it! Just sleep with the monster across the bed for another night, it's no big deal!"

  She murmured a little, then hummed a little tune, and walked lightly to leave the bathroom.

  *

  "—So you are here."

After the   bell rang, Xu Xiangyang left from the second floor, preparing to go to the lecture theatre. But he just didn't take two steps before he felt that his shoulder was being held down.

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback, until he heard a familiar voice behind him, he relaxed, and then turned around and complained:

  "Do you know that slapped people on the shoulder like this is scary..."

  "Why didn't you call me after you came out of the classroom just now?"

   Lin Xingjie looked dissatisfied.

   "I see you sleeping really soundly, I'm sorry to wake you up."

  Xu Xiangyang was halfway through speaking, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

   "Wait, no, where did you come from?"

  He looked at the long-haired girl who suddenly appeared behind him with a stunned look, and then at the railing beside him.

   "You, didn't you turn up from here, right?"

   Lin Xingjie raised her eyebrows without answering.

  For some reason, her expression seemed a bit unpleasant.

  "What if you are discovered by someone? Isn't it reckless to act?"

  Xu Xiangyang thought that the girl felt impatient because she was told by herself, so he said seriously.

   "It's done, I know."

   Lin Xingjie raised her hand and said helplessly.

   "Not next time."

   "Just now, maybe I have been seen."

   "...It doesn't matter if someone sees it." She put her hand back into her trouser pocket, with an indifferent expression, "Anyway, people just think I have skill."

   "Uh, this is true."

  The impression of Lin Xingjie’s kung fu skills has gradually become popular in the 15th Middle School. As long as you don’t overdo it, someone in the school will discover some extraordinary things in her, and it does not seem to be a big problem.

"But, it won’t be good if someone has something good to tell you about you. Then maybe newspapers and TV media will come to interview and put out a headline like'Kung Fu Girl', which may be a little troublesome... "Xu Xiangyang sighed, "It's better to be careful."

   "I sit upright, not afraid of others gossiping."

   Lin Xingjie didn't care.

  "Okay, don't talk about me. What are you doing here?"

   "I just wandered around, and I walked to the old place where I was in class. I saw Zhu Qingyue looking uncomfortable, and I wanted to go and ask about the situation."

  "You really love to be nosy."

  Lin Xingjie sighed.

"Then what?"

  "Then I chatted with her a few words, and I went to the side of the classroom. Like the people in Class 5, see if I can find the clues left by the monster."

   "...It's just a few words that are so simple? Did Zhu Qingyue talk to you about other things?"

  Of course, Lin Xingjie was asking knowingly, but Xu Xiangyang didn’t know this, and replied seriously:

   "She mentioned something about you. She thought that only you can deal with that monster."

   "Hey, she is quite discerning." Lin Xingjie nodded and continued to ask, "How did you answer?"

   "...I don't think it's right." Xu Xiangyang's expression looked a bit distressed, "So, I replied that it should be solved by adults."

   "Oh, that's weird~"

  Lin Xingjie deliberately stretched her tone of voice and asked with a grin:

   "Why do you say that?"

"...I'm a bit unclear, it's just a subconscious reaction." He scratched his head, frowning, "How can I say, if Zhu Qingyue just asks me for help, whether I agree or not, I will be myself." Things to consider, but the problem involves you..."

  "What are these words. If you choose to help others, will I be there just watching?"

   Lin Xingjie raised her brows.

   "If you dare to do this, I will be angry. We are friends, understand?"

  The two walked together on the quiet corridor.

  If it was on weekdays, the floor after class should have been crowded with students. But at this moment, only the sound of the cement worker's beating came from behind him.

  At this moment, I can’t catch up anyway. In addition, the fourth class is self-study. They both slowed down in unison, letting each other's conversations be longer and longer, secretly hoping that time will pass slower and slower.

   "I mean, Xiao An's power is terrible and destructive, but you are not completely without weakness."

  Xu Xiangyang said slowly while organizing his thoughts.

"So far, being involved in a supernatural event is still a very dangerous thing. Don't think that you are very powerful, just be careless. If it is something that is closely related to yourself, then you have to solve it. There is absolutely nothing to do. Way; but if it’s nothing to do with you, you have to think carefully before you shoot..."

   "Can't this be regarded as having nothing to do with us, right?"

   Lin Xingjie interrupted his conversation.

"That guy just broke into the school. Didn’t you almost get hurt last night... No, did you get hurt? Then I showed up and drove the guy away, so the two of us had already got rid of this thing. Nothing to do."

  Xu Xiangyang touched his neck, nodding with lingering fear. Although all the injuries suffered last night were skin wounds, the pain left to the body did not disappear so easily.

   "Presumably you know very well that this incident is just a beginning, and the road ahead is still long. Who knows what will happen?"

  He thought about it, and then said:

"Then let me make an analogy. If you heard that a neighbor hit a ghost, or a haunted house nearby, killed one of our classmates, etc., would you stand idly by? This matter, you that day You told me that you are very interested, right?"

   "As for Zhu Qingyue, I believe she will not spread things about you and me everywhere, but if you are not careful in the future, your abilities may still be known to others."

"If someone... well, let's not say that it is unpredictable, in case he and you deliberately get acquainted, come to you-actually use you to do dangerous or unreasonable things? Maybe these are just my thoughts. Yes, but I hope I can eliminate this possibility from the beginning."

   "Then what do you think I should do?"

   "There is no other way except to be as cautious as possible."

  Xu Xiangyang answered patiently.

"Zhu Qingyue is very likely to be targeted now, and this matter is closely related to us. We really want to help her. What we should do is to find clues early and deal with the monster. Only by doing this is for her good. As for her It doesn’t really matter if you know the truth, right?"

"Oh? But I don't think this approach is bad at all. Do you mean..." Lin Xingjie blinked, and a narrow smile appeared in her pupils, "I am begged by others, but you can only tell me? "

   "Of course I didn't mean that," Xu Xiangyang covered his forehead with a headache, "I just feel that there are some things that don't need to be faced by one person..."

"Ha ha!"

  The girl walking beside her smiled cheerfully.

   "Okay, okay, don't care too much, I agree with your opinion. Although I think that's not bad..."

"what are you talking about."

  While talking, the two of them have already reached the lecture hall.

  Just as Xu Xiangyang stepped into the entrance, he felt all the eyes of the students sitting inside were focused.

  He suddenly realized something was wrong. The classroom was incredibly quiet, everyone seemed to be studying hard, and he thought the self-study class would be noisy.

  He took a look to the podium.

  It turns out that the teacher in charge of this class on the podium is not someone else, but the teacher in charge of the second and first class of high school. His murderous name is widely spread throughout the grade.

  No wonder, no wonder...

  At this time, the middle-aged woman was sitting on a chair near the blackboard, watching silently, a man and a woman, who were not only late for class, but also walked into the classroom side by side in an affectionate manner.

  In fact, when Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie were still in the hallway, the students inside could hear the girl’s silver bell-like laughter. In everyone’s eyes, they almost didn’t jump into the classroom door in hand...

  Xu Xiangyang saw that his supervisor was in a bad mood, shrinking his neck with some guilty conscience, and hurriedly walked towards his seat.

  On the contrary, Lin Xingjie, as if not paying attention to the gaze of the teachers and students in the classroom, snorted lightly, flicked her hair proudly, and walked forward to the back row with her long legs.

  When Xu Xiangyang walked through the front row, he also saw Zhu Qingyue secretly giving himself a thumbs up with a smile on his face.

  He didn't understand the other party's meaning at all, so he could only pretend that he hadn't seen it, and walked over by himself.
