Invade the World - Chapter 455

Chapter 455 Crossing the Gate of Time and Space

Xu Xiangyang knelt in front of the door, almost discouraged; at this moment, he felt like being hugged from behind him… The familiar warmth and softness made him subconsciously hold his breath.

He could feel a pair of gentle palms moving up slowly, and finally gently covering the back of his hands.

He couldn’t see her, couldn’t touch her, he could only confirm her existence with his intuition, and the voice coming from his ears was soft and playful:

“I am here.”

“It’s really you, Qingyue.” Xu Xiangyang took a deep breath, “Why are you here…”

“Hehe, this is really strange to ask. This place is my memory, my consciousness space, and I am the master here.”

Zhu Qingyue replied with a smile. After a while, she seemed to have discovered something, and her mood became very happy, and even the tone of the question rose slightly:

“Oh, Xiangyang, are you crying?”

“No, no.”

Xu Xiangyang subconsciously wanted to wipe away his tears, only to realize that he was just a conscious body.

“You…”

The person behind    laughed even happier.

This trick to trick people is familiar and cute. While Xu Xiangyang couldn’t help laughing, the flame that burned in his chest just now, the anxiety that was hard to hide, gradually subsided.

He sighed quietly.

“It’s not over yet, right?”

The hands that the class leader hugged from behind were straining slightly.

“Well. I want the person in the door to come out quickly. Otherwise, with her current physical condition, it is very likely that…” Xu Xiangyang’s tone inevitably became heavy, “…will die.”

But the tone of the monitor’s response to this sentence seems to be saying something that has nothing to do with him:

“I’m going to be jealous. Even though I’m holding me like this, I’m thinking about other girls, and I’m still a primary school student.”

“What nonsense are you talking about.” Xu Xiangyang was a little helpless, “That’s the old you.”

“Can’t you be jealous of the old me?” Zhu Qingyue took it for granted, “Let me tell you in advance, Xu Xiangyang, I am the world’s number one vinegar king, and anyone will eat their vinegar.”

Xu Xiangyang shook his head. He knew that the monitor was probably trying to comfort him in his own way, but—

“Qingyue, I want to save you.”

His tone was serious:

“I think everything I found in front of me is probably more than just your memory. I really channeled into the past – including the events at Xingjie’s time, I mentioned it to you before, right? My ability may be able to travel through time and space. .”

“Well, I can guess. But, it’s really interesting. I didn’t expect that the ‘haunted’ I encountered when I was a child was when my grown-up lover was knocking on the door trying to save me. It was really… It felt like a terrible thing, all of a sudden become romantic.”

Zhu Qingyue smiled.

“I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to touch my past self. With your light, I saw familiar scenes and familiar people. Those things that I deliberately didn’t recall and were buried in the depths of my memory are really true. I don’t know if I should say I miss it.”

Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment.

“Wait, what this means… do you remember? Until now?”

“Well, I remember it all very clearly. Hehe, this may be the disadvantage of being too smart.”

Although Zhu Qingyue was still joking about herself, a slight sigh was inevitably entrained in her voice.

“Unlike Xingjie, I didn’t forget, but on the premise of knowing everything, I deliberately lied to deceive you and everyone around me. If you didn’t see all this with your own eyes, I would definitely continue to lie, and you I have seen it.”

“why?”

“Why, because I’m used to telling lies. The more people want to get close to my past, I just want to keep hiding the truth, even with the people I like.”

The class leader’s tone was slightly resentful, and Xu Xiangyang seemed to have seen her pouting and complaining.

“If it wasn’t for Xiangyang, you have such a rude ability to force open my ‘heart door’, I would even bring the secrets of the past to the grave.”

“That’s because you’re too stubborn.”

“Yeah, too stubborn. Because of inferiority complex, you see, I’m not usually like this, right? In the eyes of others, no one would have imagined that I have a tragic past.’ People who were unfortunate in childhood will grow up because of this The shadow lingers, and I continue to live an unfortunate life’ – I don’t want to be regarded as such an example in the future, and I don’t want the future life to really be lost to this, so I have been reluctant to admit it.”

“…don’t mind.”

Xu Xiangyang patted her hand.

“Now is not the time to say such things.”

“Hmm. Do you still have things to do?”

“I’m hesitant. If I don’t make it. Are you really going to die?”

“I can’t tell you the answer. All I know is that I don’t want to leave you and the two of you at all. Even if there is a possibility…”

Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt that the “arms” from behind him seemed to be changing his posture, and his heart moved slightly.

The feeling of the hands disappeared, replaced by a soft gauze that seemed to cover the whole body, and it silently penetrated the skin like rain.

Xu Xiangyang was taken aback.

“This, this is…”

An unprecedented wonderful feeling came to my mind.

and Qingyue are integrated into one – not an exaggeration, not a metaphor, but a complete combination of one person’s personality composition into the other, in the true sense of “two into one”

“You don’t think you have enough power? So, I’ll leave this part to you, use it as you like. And the old me… I’ll try my best to persuade me.”

The sound of    close at hand is getting quieter and may disappear at any time.

“…Is it okay?”

“As long as I can regain control of my soul, my body, everything that has been lost, I can regain control.”

The other party replied with a smile.

“Besides, it’s for you, not for others.”

Xu Xiangyang was silent, feeling a heavy weight on his shoulders.

“By now…”

“I can’t help it~ ‘It doesn’t matter if you die, it doesn’t matter if you are abandoned, it doesn’t matter if you never see you again’… I can’t say anything like that.”

He clenched his fists.

“I know. Like you said, I would never let this happen, even if it were a one in ten thousand chance.”

“Great, then…”

The last voice of the monitor disappeared in my ears.

“—Come and save me, Xiangyang, you are my hero.”

*

The sound is gone.

The room was dark and silent.

After the heavy knock on the door, Xiao Qingyue originally thought that the door would be smashed open, and an uninvited guest would rush into the bedroom.

However, the reality is completely different from what she imagined.

After that, nothing happened.

The door was still closed tightly, no one broke in, and even the voice that was always haunting outside the door disappeared like a bubble at the moment, as if everything was just her auditory hallucinations.

Not only the people outside the door, but just now there was a voice asking her to go out, which made her feel very familiar, and now… all of them are gone.

The little girl stood there blankly.

After a while, she finally reacted like a statue.

“Mother…”

she shouted and looked towards the bed. The woman still hasn’t moved at all.

Only on your own.

Yes, after my mother was unable to protect herself, the only person in this world that I could rely on was myself.

Zhu Qingyue put her hand on her chest and felt the pulsation in her body.

Before the familiar and unfamiliar voice left her, she once said:

“That’s someone you’ve never met, so what’s so scary?”

“If you really can’t put your mind down, then push the door open and have a look, touch him, touch him, and see if he is really that scary.”

How ridiculous!

Do you want to deceive people at a young age? I won’t be fooled.

Maybe, it was a liar talking.

Maybe, the other party is with the people waiting outside the door. If he really listens to this kind of words, he will be arrested once he goes out.

Maybe, maybe—

But… Despite all the worries and panics, the curiosity to push the door out to take a look is still surging in a corner of the little girl’s heart, like a tender sprout sprouting carefully from the depths of the soil.

It was this trivial thought that supported her to fall asleep without falling back, instead of continuing to indulge in the boundless drowsy water, but fell into hesitation when she was awake.

She stood in front of the door and waited restlessly for ten minutes, half an hour, an hour…

People have gone, right?

Then, even if I push the door open to take a look, it will still be fine, right?

just closed the door and glanced quietly.

One glance, and I immediately closed the door…

The young body tortured by hunger, thirst and sickness, the heaviness of the real world has come back again.

She knew that if she didn’t make a decision again, she probably wouldn’t have another chance.

The girl who finally made up her mind took steps towards the bedroom door.

Her hand on the doorknob, turned, and…

“Click, click, click.”

The door did not open.

Zhu Qingyue was stunned.

Her hand slipped from the handle unwittingly, and that nervous little face that was inevitably filled with a little bit of hope and anticipation suddenly turned gloomy.

…The door is locked and can’t be opened at all.

Although I don’t know who is the only living person in the house, who locked this door.

However, all this has become irrelevant.

Anyway, she no longer has the strength to pursue it.

After the reason that supported her to stay awake disappeared, the little girl’s knees softened and she fell heavily to the ground.

The high fever continued, and her energy and strength had already been squeezed out. It is unbelievable that a little girl under ten years old can stay awake for such a long time in this state… In the final analysis, it is the space itself It is also in an abnormal state that is isolated from the human world.

The drowsy dream came again, the forest submerged in darkness was getting closer and closer to her and the world, and the sound of the stream flowing through the mud was clearly heard in her ears.

Is that “death”?

Then, Zhu Qingyue, who was lying on the ground, widened her eyes.

It wasn’t that she was forcing herself, but that she subconsciously widened her eyes because she really saw something incredible—

“Click.”

With an inaudible sound, the closed door actually opened inward.

The firm invisible chain was torn apart by another more stubborn invisible force. What Zhu Qingyue saw behind the door was—

…

No, the gap is so small that she can barely see anything. The only thing I can see is the figure of the person standing outside the door leaving.

She was surprised to find that it was not one person, but two people who were arm in arm and intimate, drifting farther and farther.

Zhu Qingyue opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to stop them and ask who they were, but the two figures had disappeared.

The only change they left behind was the slightly open crack of the door—

The light from the outside world is coming in from there.
