Invade the World

  Chapter 70 I want you both!

"nothing."

  Xu Xiangyang coughed, pretending to be calm and replied.

  When he put his eyes on Zhu Qingyue, he suddenly froze.

  Xu Xiangyang wears the school uniform of the Fifteenth Middle School as always. Under normal circumstances, he is too lazy to change clothes, and he often wears school uniforms even on rest days.

  Ke Zhu Qingyue is different.

The clothes on her upper body are indeed very similar to a school uniform, but it is not the blue and white plain sportswear of the 15th Middle School, but a bit like the suit jacket Xu Xiangyang has seen in foreign language schools before; the lower body is 100% in the same color. The pleated skirt and black stockings, the headband was replaced with a red bead rope tied to one side of the hair.

  The girl keeps a refreshing baby head, and her bangs are kept neatly as always. She holds the satchel in both hands and puts it in front. She looks like a gentle girl, like coming out of the cover of a magazine.

  Although today is not a day off, it is not surprising that girls who love beauty put on their own clothes because they are not going to school to make up classes.

  This kind of feeling is a little bit different from the scenes I'm used to seeing in the past, and it is easy to make people's eyes bright.

  But how Zhu Qingyue's dress is, at most make him have a moment of trance, what really surprised him was her face...

   "Your dark circles seem to get worse again?"

  Xu Xiangyang pointed to her eyes.

  The tired look in those originally beautiful and bright pupils can hardly be concealed, and the eye sockets are a little swollen, and her face is also terrible, pale like a vampire.

   "Yes, is it?"

  Zhu Qingyue wiped the corners of her eyes a little unnaturally.

   "Maybe it's because I didn't get much rest last night."

   "...Is this two consecutive days of insomnia?"

  Xu Xiangyang made suggestions a little worried.

   "Or, go see a doctor."

"it does not matter……"

  At this time, the two of them heard the voice of someone greeted at the same time.

   "Qingyue, Xu Xiangyang, come here, you two! The location is here!"

  Xu Xiangyang turned his head and found a girl with braids in casual clothes, tall among women, standing beside a stairwell, waving vigorously at the two of them.

  So they left from the side of the road, and followed Sun Xiaofang into the concrete stairs next to the shop leading to the upper floor.

  Xu Xiangyang walked at the back, looking at Zhu Qingyue's back, his brows were slightly frowned.

  ……

  Sun Xiaofang introduced to them why he chose this place.

  It turned out that her family started private education and extracurricular tuition classes. This five-story building was bought by her father a long time ago. After the first floor was rented out, the remaining floors were used as classrooms for cram schools.

  Some teachers who teach in high school or junior high school will work as lecturers in cram school here during the weekly rest day to earn some extra money. Teacher Yang, the head teacher of Class 5, is one of them.

  This time, Sun Xiaofang’s father simply reached a cooperation with the school, temporarily using it as a tutoring place for the students of the 15th Middle School during the suspension of classes.

  The top 50 students in the two arts and sciences, add up to a total of 100 students, which is not a small number.

  The interior of this old-fashioned residential building has been renovated and expanded. When you look at it from the outside, you don’t feel it. When you really walk in, you will find that the area is quite spacious and the lighting is good.

The science subjects are on the second floor and the liberal arts subjects are on the first floor. Each floor is divided into several classrooms, one of which can accommodate 50 people per class, and the remaining two classrooms are provided for other tuition classes at a fixed time. .

  I heard that lunch is also available, so you need to go to the small shop on the first floor to buy meal vouchers.

   "However, I think it's a rare opportunity. Everyone will definitely choose to eat out."

  Sun Xiaofang said with a smile.

  Her expression looks very happy. It’s no wonder that for the tuition classrooms, there are students from famous schools like No.15 Middle School who come to class collectively, but it is a rare opportunity for publicity.

  After all, there are still some tutors for junior high school students in class at this time. The Fifteenth Middle School is considered the goal of a considerable number of people in the high school entrance examination.

  ……

  Sun Xiaofang took the two of them to the destination, and then ran out in a hurry. At this time, there were not many people in the classroom.

  Xu Xiangyang put down his schoolbag and looked at Zhu Qingyue again.

  The girl took the pen and paper out of her bag and put them neatly.

  He hesitated and walked up to her.

  The two stood one by one and the other sat, looking at each other without blinking.

  Xu Xiangyang felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Zhu Qingyue didn't seem to feel it, and made a gesture of asking to sit down.

  "……"

  Xu Xiangyang opened the front seat and coughed pretentiously.

   "I watched a disc before taking a break last night."

  He started the topic seriously...or rather stiffly.

   "So you still have such a hobby, I really can't see it."

  Zhu Qingyue covered her mouth and chuckled.

   "Well, I usually rely on watching the disc to relax when I'm tired. In short, this disc is about a group of young Americans going to play in the forest, and it was caught by the cannibals in the primitive tribe."

  Xu Xiangyang's speaking speed is not hurried or slow.

"A few of this group of young men and women were caught by the cannibals who set up traps at the beginning, and the remaining few, including people like the heroes and heroines, soon saw the cruelty of the cannibals. In order not to be killed and eaten, they naturally thought of running away..."

  He sighed.

"Originally, they had a car driving over, and the cannibals hadn't realized their existence, so they could escape now. But it turned out that there was a man inside because his brother was taken away, so he decided to go back and save him. People. When others wanted to stop him, he scolded him as a cold-blooded man who didn’t speak loyalty, and planned to rush to save people alone...As a result, everyone was dragged into the water by him and was discovered by the cannibals on the way back. They were arrested or killed one by one."

  Last night, Lin Xingjie was sitting on the sofa to watch it with him. At this moment, she was already shouting that it was a bunch of idiots.

  Because he has watched a lot of discs, he has long been accustomed to this kind of plot. But--

"If you really encounter this kind of thing, you will think that the guy who rushed back is very annoying? If you clearly choose to call the police for help, the rest will not die. Maybe there is a chance to rescue the caught person. ."

  "……"

  Zhu Qingyue was silent for a moment, and asked softly.

   "Student Xu, are you mocking me? Do you think what I did that night was incorrect?"

   "No, on the contrary, I am complimenting you."

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head.

“It’s not wrong to save people, but it’s a commendable thing. The reason I think the man in the movie is annoying is because he doesn’t have the ability to save people. He just did things on impulse, which caused my friends to die in vain. .If I were to think about the plot, he would be asked to return to the car before saving people, take the weapons prepared in advance, such as guns, or even chainsaws, and rush back, even if he does this, he may not be able to overcome it. Cannibals... But when most of the audience sees this scene, they will definitely be excited."

"Although what you did is not so exaggerated, but through the weakness of'monsters are afraid of light', you thought of a way to turn on the lights of the whole school, and you did not forget to notify assistance; and Guo Zixuan, according to the speed of the monsters, the police will definitely not be able to keep up. Yes, judging from the results, it can indeed be said that you saved his life. I think no matter how you look at it, you have done well enough, and there is no need to blame yourself."

  Zhu Qingyue realized that the other party had said so many things to herself, as if she was just trying to comfort her.

  What she once said that night; and the bad mental state of the past two days, Xu Xiangyang probably linked the two, thinking that he was on the horns of this issue, so he came to persuade himself.

  Zhu Qingyue sighed lightly.

   "...how to put it, I just think that my thoughts were different from yours."

"what?"

   "I can take the initiative to speak, not because I am brave. I don't know if you noticed one thing. When Sun Xiaofang said that, everyone... all looked at me subconsciously."

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback.

  "In that case, if I didn’t speak, if an accident really happened afterwards, after everyone knew that I didn’t take any action, there was a lot of discussion in private. Do you believe it?"

"I……"

  Until then, Xu Xiangyang did not understand why every time he said something like "trusted" or "loved by his classmates", it was obviously a compliment, but Zhu Qingyue never responded.

   "Being too good is sometimes not a good thing."

  He couldn't help but sigh.

"indeed so."

  Zhu Qingyue laughed.

"In short, compared to Xu Xiangyang, I stand up for myself, and also for the kind of funny reason I want to keep the image in the eyes of others at that moment, and it's not worthy of being too high-profile. Praise, that's all. Of course, I didn't take the matter of that day to heart, so please don't worry about it."

"Yes?"

   "Yes." Zhu Qingyue smiled softly, "Because I know exactly who I am."

  Xu Xiangyang was silent.

   "Anyway, thank you." The girl lowered her voice and said half-jokingly, "Student Xu cares about me so much. Are you ready to consider my proposal that day?"

"Ok?"

   "It's about wishing to be friends with me, don't you forget it?"

   "Friends...Well, I don’t think'becoming a friend' is something you talk about with your mouth? It should be just unknowingly."

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a while, then replied.

  He and Lin Xingjie became friends, indeed through some kind of agreement, but generally speaking, the acquaintance between most friends should be a natural process.

  "It's not the same. I'm talking about becoming friends with you and Lin Xingjie, so you need to be introduced."

  ...It sounds like I am just a tool for you to get to know Xingjie!

"Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm talking about you and Lin Xingjie." Zhu Qingyue smiled and made a five-finger close gesture, "meaning, I want all of you. However, I think student Xu, you are relatively easy to talk. One point, right?"

   "...that's different."

  Xu Xiangyang cleared his throat and said with a serious expression.

  "I have to tell you one more important thing first than friends who are not friends."

"Speaking."

  "——Next time I take the exam, I will surpass you!"

  Xu Xiangyang pointed at Zhu Qingyue’s face with serious eyes.

  The girl let out a soft "Huh?" in surprise.

  "During this time, you have to take a good rest, but don’t relax and study, and focus on the combination of work and rest. I hope this is an upright outcome, do you understand?"

  Zhu Qingyue’s pupils dilated, her rosy lips opened slightly, and then...

   "Puff."

  She was covering her mouth with an expression that could not help but laugh.

   "You, what are you laughing at?"

  Zhu Qingyue suppressed a smile and pointed to the students around.

  At this time, more and more people came to class, because the girl in the seat was already very conspicuous, and they all noticed the conversation between the two here, and cast their curious eyes over from time to time.

  Xu Xiangyang just forgot to control his volume when he was talking, so I’m afraid someone has already heard it...

   "I, I'll go to the bathroom."

  He quickly got up from his seat, feeling a little fever on his face.

  *

  As soon as Xu Xiangyang left the classroom, Zhu Qingyue followed from behind and stopped him.

   "Please wait a minute."

  He turned around and took a look, and saw that she fumbled in her bag for a while and took out what was sealed in plastic film.

   "I have something to give you. I made an appointment with Lin Xingjie yesterday."

"What's this?"

  Xu Xiangyang took it over with some confusion.

  From the packaging point of view, Zhu was very careful when packing. Inside the plastic film is a thin plate or paper, with sticky marks on it, like dried glue.

   "It's a clue."

  "Clues..." Xu Xiangyang widened his eyes, suddenly remembering the sight of the monster he had witnessed the night before escaping after leaving only a paste-like substance on the wall, "Could it be...that monster left it?"

"Ok."

  Zhu Qingyue nodded.

  "It is a handprint. There should be some body tissue residue on it."

  Xu Xiangyang observed carefully for a while, and found that there was indeed a vague outline similar to palmprints.

   "Classmate Lin told me, you can find the whereabouts of that person through these clues, is that right?"

  This statement is almost equivalent to admitting that he has some special "ability", but Xu Xiangyang still nodded.

   "...Basically it is."

  Theoretically, it can be body tissue or carry things with him, but he has tried to use telepathy on the strange substance left behind by the weirdo, but the result is only a little very vague picture.

  In other words, the extent to which the ability can take effect may be related to the length of time and the type of material composition; to put it more metaphysically, it is determined by the amount of breath remaining on it.

  He saw a group of people helping out yesterday, and Zhu Qingyue probably got the clues from this group of students.

  "If I got it from the classroom at that time, the time limit may have completely passed..."

  Xu Xiangyang thought.

   Even if it is not, it may not allow him to grasp the clues that can prove the true identity of the weirdo.

  At that time, he used psychics on the weird person at a close distance. Although he got a lot of clear pictures, he knew that this guy had killed someone, but unfortunately he still didn't find his place of residence or see the real face.

   "Well, I'll try it later..."

   Just halfway through Xu Xiangyang, he heard Zhu Qingyue begging firmly.

   "No, please try it now."

"……Ok."

  There is still some time before class. He also wants to track down the monster's whereabouts and will not miss any possibility, so there is no reason to refuse.

  ……

  Xu Xiangyang took the plastic package and walked to a corner, pulling out the materials inside.

  As he expected, the psychic time lasted only a few seconds, and the picture that emerged in his mind was not long, but...

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an incredible expression.

   "It's difficult, that guy's true identity is—"
