Invade the World

  Chapter 172 bowed his head and yielded, after that...

   "You...what are you doing!"

  Zhu Qingyue's eyes widened, she quickly pulled out the hand that had been soaking in the bathtub, and grabbed his arm in a panic.

   "Obviously I am enough..."

  The girl's slender jade fingers wrap around her wrist, carefully not to let herself touch the wound.

  She watched the blood pouring out of the boy's palm, and she suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart, and she felt unable to breathe, and her slender eyebrows were unconsciously curled into a ball.

  Xu Xiangyang looked down at Zhu Qingyue’s face, thinking that his approach probably worked.

  Huh, are you scared? Just listen to me when you're scared! But Xu Xiangyang didn't feel complacent for too long. He just wanted to speak to Zhu Qingyue, but he couldn't help but took a breath. The words were all stuck in his throat and couldn't come out, and his thoughts were disrupted by the intense pain.

  The boy’s forehead was cold and sweaty, and his whole body was wet with sweat.

  It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...!

  Xu Xiangyang is not a soldier, a killer, or a genius. Unlike the squad leader, he is just an ordinary male high school student.

  Don't talk about cruel things like taking his own wrist to stab him, even the little things in life like a spur on his nails and going to the hospital for a needle will make him grin for a long time.

  Because of his dissatisfaction and anger with what Zhu Qingyue did, he hit his head with enthusiasm for a while, but now he can only grit his teeth, barely keep his will sober, and fall straight down without losing his legs...

  Me, am I a bit too cruel to start?

  Because he wanted to prevent the squad leader from using lines to block his actions, Xu Xiangyang made up his mind and cut it off without hesitation. He knows that if there is no success once, there is no chance for a second time, so his strength is not small...

  Xu Xiangyang glanced at his wrist that was stained red with dripping blood. He only felt that his vision was blurred, and he even felt dizzy, and he dared not look at it again.

   "I'll get the medical kit."

  Zhu Qingyue checked the wound, stood up immediately, and hurriedly ran out of the bathroom.

  Fortunately, the luggage left by the psychic team also contained emergency supplies such as food and medicine.

  Xu Xiangyang knew this before daring to take a risk.

  But before the girl had time to take a few steps, he moved and blocked her.

  ...This is not the end.

  He didn't cut himself for nothing, and it was even more unlikely that he made such a sacrifice just to elicit the female ghost. Xu Xiangyang's real goal was to correct Qingyue's distorted and nasty personality!

  Even now, he is still determined to implement his own approach...

  No, just because he has suffered unprecedented suffering, if he still fails to reverse Qingyue's mentality in the end, isn't he a big loss?

  Xu Xiangyang "hissed" in a cold breath, and stopped saying:

   "Wait first."

  Zhu Qingyue bumped her head on his shoulder, raised her head in amazement and looked at him.

  The wound was clearly painful, but Xu Xiangyang still tried to lift the corners of his mouth, which made his smile look slightly hideous.

   "Don't be so anxious."

"what are you saying……"

   "No way, Qingyue, after all, I did everything..." Xu Xiangyang tried to put on a calm expression, interrupted the other party's words with what she had said, "Don't waste it."

  While speaking, Xu Xiangyang directly stretched his hand into the pool, and the thick strands of blood flowed upward along the water stream, and a layer of bright red suddenly surged over the surface of the water that was originally pale red.

  At this moment, the blood flowing from the boy's wrist blended with the blood in the girl's body in the water.

   "Wait...! Your incision is too deep, and you will lose too much blood if you continue!"

  He felt a little dizzy, so he sat down and only heard Zhu Qingyue’s eager voice from above his head.

"I go now……"

   "Not allowed to go."

  He refused.

  Excessive blood loss...Oops, Qingyue seems to be true.

  Xu Xiangyang found that his vision was really early for Venus. He originally thought it was because of his intense emotions.

  But he did not intend to give in, and once again grabbed the corner of the girl's clothes.

"Why……!"

The squad leader can no longer maintain a comfortable attitude. She even forgot to use her abilities for a while. After being dragged by Xu Xiangyang, she did not dare to move. For fear that his wound would expand further, she could only watch the blood run along the boy's palm. It flows down a little bit.

  "Before you decide to reflect on your own mistakes, I reject all your suggestions, just like the indifferent attitude you just put in front of me..."

  Xu Xiangyang held his forehead, he now has no energy to pick and choose, he only knows to say what he thinks of.

   "I don't care about other things, but I really can't forgive your attitude of hurting yourself lightly."

  "……"

  Zhu Qingyue's eyes widened, as if he did not expect him to say this, and did not answer for a while.

   "——So, you apologize first."

  His words are decisive.

  *

  A few minutes later, Xu Xiangyang sat down by the bed obediently, while Zhu Qingyue was kneeling on the floor, holding his palm in one hand, and wiping off the blood stains with a sanitary napkin in the other.

  The bathtub was left unattended. Whether it was to lure the female ghost out or get the pieces back, both of them left these things behind for the time being.

  After cleaning the wound, Zhu Qingyue carefully wrapped gauze around his wrist, and whispered while wrapping it.

   "Xiangyang, you are really careful."

"where?"

   "It's... just use this method to make me succumb to you..."

  She puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. It seemed that she was a bit dissatisfied that she had really apologized just now. Miss Qingyue's self-esteem was still quite high. After all, no matter what field she was in, she had never lost to others.

  However, the squad leader still didn't say too much, for fear that he would do something stupid again.

  "……"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhu Qingyue began to mutter again.

   "It's too capricious, too capricious! I can't stand you. If it wasn't for you to be my friend, or I like you very much, or... if it wasn't for Xingjie, I would definitely leave you alone!"

   "You still have the face to say me?"

  Xu Xiangyang replied angrily. But as soon as he spoke, he felt like his wound was being pulled, and grinned with pain again.

  In short, regardless of the past situation, Miss Qingyue did apologize to herself just now.

  Of course, he didn't think that this would make the girl completely change her mind. After all, he used the girl's feelings towards him as a bet and forced her to make a choice.

  But Xu Xiangyang's actions did give her a spiritual stimulation, and I think it can leave a deep impression on her...

  Also, although Qingyue always talked about "like herself", she really chose to lower her head in front of him. This was the first time she had achieved a staged success.

  However, Xu Xiangyang did not feel much pride because of this. After all, this was at the expense of hurting himself...This kind of thing would not be done a second time, otherwise he would not have a stand to blame Zhu Qingyue.

  At this time, Xu Xiangyang no longer concealed his pain, murmured:

   "Really, really...it hurts."

  Zhu Qingyue raised her head and looked at him, but found a trace of tears in the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but laughed out.

"Xiangyang, you are so stupid, even if you want to... you really have to do this kind of thing, at least you have to discuss it with me. This time it was lucky. You worked so hard just now. What if you accidentally cut the artery? Do it? Really..."

   "It's up to me to say this, right?"

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head.

   "After all, I wouldn't have been so impulsive unless you did such a dangerous thing without telling me."

   "I'm sure, it's not dangerous to me."

  Zhu Qingyue’s tone was filled with resentment.

   "Also, this is the most correct choice."

  Xu Xiangyang did not answer.

  When he started to recall the experience just now, he found that the squad leader’s speculation was not unreasonable.

At the last moment of Qian Yingxiu’s life, she was killed by Qi Qiufang’s ghost being dragged into the water. I think about it now. The reason is probably that she put her hand in the bathtub at the time, and her fingers were punctured by fragments and bleeding, attracting evil spirits. Come...

   So think about it carefully, this is an unfortunate accident, originally the pajamas ghost was not present; if there were no such accident, Qian Yingxiu might be able to take the fragments away and leave with her companions.

  However, there is no "if" in this world.

I heard the squad leader just say that suicide by cutting the wrist is a very painful way of death-of course, most deaths are painful, but the cutting of the wrist is especially long, and too much blood loss will make people feel the internal organs before dying. Feeling a little bit cold

  But the most important thing is that it’s not that easy to die from a wrist cut. If the cut is too shallow, only the part of the vein, the human wound will heal itself, so she will say that she is sure.

  And when a person is determined to commit suicide in this way, he often chooses to soak in water, just like taking a nap in a bath, and never wake up forever.

  As for "human-shaped evil spirits will be affected by memories in life", Xu Xiangyang also noticed this...

   "Xiangyang, honestly, did I do something wrong?"

   "Well, you did it wrong."

  Xu Xiangyang answered without hesitation, and the girl in front of her puffed her cheeks up again and turned her head back with a hum.

  ……

  However, after the wound was bandaged, the squad leader still chose to sit down beside him.

  The two sit side by side on the head of the bed, sharing this peaceful and quiet moment.

  It was quiet for a long time, and it was Zhu Qingyue who took the initiative to speak, she asked softly.

   "Speaking of, Xiangyang, about our bet... have you found a way out?"

"Ok."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded.

   "There is something called the'empty door', which can open the doors of most haunted houses in the world, and in turn find a way out through resonance. It is a special item kept in the hands of official institutions..."

  He honestly told all the known information.

   "The fragment is in the hands of Song Yao's dead mother and the female ghost in the bathtub."

  Xu Xiangyang paused before asking:

"And you?"

"As long as this haunted house is destroyed, we can go out?" Zhu Qingyue replied, "So, if we kill this female ghost called node first, the power of the haunted house will be greatly weakened. At that time, Song Deshou can't Don’t come out to fight me head-on."

   "As expected of you."

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help laughing.

   "In this way, our two goals are overlapped."

   "Well. Then, if you have to have a result, who is the one who loses and who is the one who wins?"

   "The female ghost hasn't come out yet, and the fragments haven't been obtained..."

  Xu Xiangyang was talking, and suddenly heard a "cracking" sound, as if all the water in the bathtub was spilling out.

  The two looked at each other, and at the same time they got up and ran towards the bathroom.

  The water in the bathtub was full of water, boiling eagerly as if it was being heated, ripples on the surface of the water.

   "Look, Xiangyang."

  Xu Xiangyang heard her softly speaking, like a dream.

   "My blood and your blood... are now mixed together."

  The water mixed with the blood of two people rippled in the bathtub, spilled on the floor and the wall, and was faintly blushing everywhere.

   sounds really weird and romantic.

  The idea just emerged, Xu Xiangyang's expression became weird for a while, he couldn't help scratching his hair, wondering if his thoughts had been misled by the girl.

   "Wow!"

  The ghost lurking under the bathtub could not bear it anymore. A huge and bloated pale arm climbed onto the edge, and the corpse's skin opened with cracks, revealing the dead gray flesh inside.

  The water in the bathtub turned into a whirlpool, as if the plug underneath was unplugged, the water level dropped rapidly, as if someone had drunk it all, revealing messy black hair like seaweed...

  The evil spirit didn't even dare to poke his head out, let alone pull the two people standing in the bathroom into the bathtub like they did with Qian Yingxiu.

   But even so, it still failed to escape the squad leader’s "Five Finger Mountain".

  The ghost in the bathtub just emerged, and screamed as being dragged out of it by the invisible thread.

  Xu Xiangyang took two steps backwards, watching the wet evil spirit lying weakly on the tiled floor like a mermaid just fished from the sea.

  "Do you want to destroy her?"

  Sir, the squad leader turned sideways and asked.

"……Ok."

  Xu Xiangyang recovered and nodded in response.

   "She belongs to the category that cannot communicate, and is of no value to us."

  What's more, this ghost also killed people, and was the murderer who wiped out the last hope of the psychic team.

  Xu Xiangyang will not say that he must avenge them, but...

  This is within our power.

   "Yes. Then we can go out."

  Zhu Qingyue muttered to herself, squeezing her palms a little bit.

The evil spirit’s rotten and swollen body showed countless sharp strangles, and the white flesh was squeezed out; it had to scream and change back to the appearance of the female ghost in the pajamas, trying to break free, but the silk thread remained Tangled tightly, like a maggot attached to bones, never leaving the slightest gap to the target.

  After a few breaths, it disappeared in front of the two of them.

  Xu Xiangyang saw a small object falling sharply.

  He stepped forward and picked it up.

  "Is this the fragment of the'Void Gate'? It does have a special breath..." Zhu Qingyue walked to him and found that the other party was motionless in a daze, and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

  "...It feels familiar, as if I have seen it before."

  Xu Xiangyang answered very candidly. Although this feeling is very vague and remote, it does exist.

"Why?"

"I have no idea."

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head.

"but……"

  He held the sawdust in his hand and activated it with his psychic powers. The young man's eyes were piercing, as if passing through layers of mist, seeing the end of the gleaming light.

   "I did see the way out of the haunted house."

   "It seems that we can go out soon."

   "That's right."

  Xu Xiangyang's mood suddenly became relaxed and happy.

   "In that case..."

  Zhu Qingyue said softly.

   "No more delay. Before we go out, let's make a final summary."

   "What is the summary?"

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback.

  He suddenly found that he couldn't move anymore, his hands and feet became stiff like sculptures.

   "Of course...about me, about you, about our relationship."

  Zhu Qingyue gently grasped his hand, led the boy who was acting like a puppet to the bed, and then pushed him immobile onto the bed.

  "This conversation will determine the future of'Xu Xiangyang','Zhu Qingyue', and even'Lin Xingjie'..."

  The girl took off her shoes gracefully, and slowly climbed onto the bed in a kneeling posture, and finally sat on his stomach altogether, and looked down at the young man who was under her body.

   "I won't lie, and I won't avoid topics anymore, so... please be honest."

  The light falling above his head was dimly yellow and dim, with a slightly ambiguous smell, and feeling the soft touch and breath uploading to himself, Xu Xiangyang's consciousness was in a trance for a moment.

  The girl untied her hair band and threw it on the side of the bed. The delicately cut bangs on her forehead were rarely scattered, and her hair blocked her sight.
