Chapter 420 siege

   Chapter 420 Siege

  The camp, which was quiet because a large number of people fell into a coma, soon resumed the noise.

   After the two captains and Long Po arrived at the scene, a group of people arrived one after another and began to restore order in the frontline camp.

   Those who have woken up are moved to a tent erected next to them to rest, and those who have not woken up are immediately sent to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

   If you look into the distance, you can see that a large number of vehicles are coming at the end of the intersection, bringing building materials and supplies. They are preparing to expand the camp, and it is obvious that they have plans for a long-term confrontation.

  The information from the headquarters was sent one after another, and Xu Xiangyang and the others learned about the situation in the city:

  According to statistics, most of the victims who fell into a coma are psychics and mediums, but there are very few ordinary people.

   Considering that everyone in Jinjiang City is manipulated by the “line”, this difference is obviously not accidental.

   Maybe it’s because the mental ability of ordinary people is too weak and weak, even if millions of people add up, it’s impossible to resist the power of the medium, and it’s not worth extracting; or maybe the other party is deliberately paralyzing the ability of most mediums—

  The latter guess was rejected soon after it was proposed, because as long as Fake Qingyue was willing, everyone would inevitably be hoisted into the air. In the face of supernatural disasters with unimaginable levels of danger, psychics are no different from ordinary people.

   Contrary to the busy scene, Xu Xiangyang was squatting in a corner in a daze.

   It is said to be a “corner”, but it is actually the top of a Roman column imitating Western buildings in the community, and you can see the entire camp from a commanding height.

   As long as he stands here, no one will disturb him, and those who are busy tend not to notice him.

  Xu Xiangyang squatted on the platform at the top of the column, watching the red sun slowly sinking at the end of the sky, the layers of soft clouds were smudged into gorgeous brilliant colors, and half of the sky was like a burning bonfire.

  The day is almost over.

   It had been several hours since he noticed something was wrong with the monitor at school, and when the two of them went to her neighborhood together.

  The apartment building still stands there silently, like a high tombstone.

   “Tread.”

   Footsteps sounded in my ears, as light as a bird flapping its wings.

  Rapunzel jumped onto the platform, her posture light and neat. She put her hands behind her back and stood beside Xu Xiangyang, watching with him the sunset on the top of the mountain that was drowned in the last glorious afterglow.

   After a while, Lin Xingjie lifted her foot and kicked his ass.

“what are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking…”

   Xu Xiangyang paused for a while, but he continued to speak honestly.

   “Don’t be angry, I’ve been thinking about what happened when I was with Qingyue, especially the day before the summer vacation.”

   “Before summer vacation?”

“Didn’t the two of us dated a few days before the summer vacation, and then the three of us went on a trip together. But when I invited her for the first time, Qingyue didn’t agree. I was surprised, so I went to her, Later, we went to the video room to watch a movie together… Wait, are you not angry now?”

   In fact, Lin Xingjie was aware of this matter. Rather, the reason why he took the initiative to find the monitor was the result of Xingjie’s efforts.

   But there is no need to mention it.

   At that time, he was not afraid of shadows, and he never thought that after becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with Xingjie, he would still be entangled with the monitor. It is because of his own confidence that Xingjie can have trust in him.

   As for later…

   “In normal times, I would definitely kick down.”

  Lin Xingjie hugged her knees and sat down beside him.

   “But today, it’s just for today. Tell me, what happened at that time? Besides watching the movie, you didn’t hide it from me, did you do anything else?”

   “…Is it okay?”

“Yeah, anyway, it was my idea at the time. I still remember this time.” Lin Xingjie stroked the ends of her long hair that fell beside her ears. The more she spoke, the softer her voice became. At the back, it turned into a muttering, “Besides, I suddenly miss her a little…”

   Seeing that Xu Xiangyang was looking at himself with a look of surprise, Lin Xingjie stabbed him with his elbow a little angrily.

   “Are you talking about it? Is it, did you two really watch the pornographic video in the video room, and then—”

“Say, just say it.” Xu Xiangyang rubbed his stomach helplessly, “Speaking of which, do you still remember this matter so clearly? I understand, you didn’t say it at the time, but you must have thought about it in private. It’s a mess…”

He has always been sincere, and at that time Xingjie was angry because he almost didn’t return home at night. After he went back, he almost told his girlfriend about his experiences with other girls in detail. .

“Of course.” Lin Xingjie pouted, “Even if I told you to go, I just hope you persuade her. At that time, I was worried that her family would not let her out. As a result, you both went shopping and watching movies. This is obviously something only couples can do, how could I really not care… I don’t have time to recall how the two of you flirted, so go ahead and talk!”

   Rapunzel stretched out her hands and tugged at the corners of his mouth.

   “The abnormality you noticed at that time was probably related to the current situation. Maybe, maybe you can find a solution from it?”

   “A solution? It’s hard to say.” Xu Xiangyang thought for a while, “In my opinion, it’s actually more of an omen.”

“At that time, the movie I watched with Qingyue said that all the people in a small town were brainwashed and controlled by aliens without knowing it, but only a few people, such as the hero and heroine, discovered this. If you want to expose the truth, you can’t do it at all, because everyone thinks this group of people is crazy, and they are a very small number of normal people, and in the end it’s too late to escape…”

  In such a world, everyone has lost their freedom, but everyone is in a state of daze and unknown, thinking that the world is still peaceful and life is still very stable. No one will feel that this experience is not scary.

   But what Xu Xiangyang didn’t expect was that this was never a fictional horror story, but the “reality” that was happening at the time.

“Did Qingyue say something at the time?” Lin Xingjie frowned, apparently also noticing the similarity between the movie and reality, “The invasion of the gods started ten years ago, if she hadn’t always treated herself If you don’t know anything about the situation in this city, you may have expressed it at that time… Do you remember?”

  —Xu Xiangyang certainly remembers.

  The dark environment in the video hall, the noisy noise of the guests, the swaying shadows on the tent, the rustling of the speakers, the swaying noise on the projection screen, and the mysterious and charming smile of the girl beside her.

  The things he saw, the words he heard, and even the smells he smelled, he remembered them all clearly.

   “An unprecedented upheaval may have already happened invisibly, and no one knew it was coming… Hehe, this sounds a bit exciting.”

   Putting his hands on his knees, Zhu Qingyue still looks like a lady even while watching a movie, and the corners of her moist and gorgeous lips are slightly raised.

“But if there really is one thing in the world that no one knows, isn’t it quite nonexistent? So in my opinion, what’s more interesting is that someone knows the secret, and only this person knows, he only knows Can choose to be regarded as a lunatic, or to remain silent.”

  After the brief exchange between the two, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became quiet.

   It was so silent that the needle drop could be heard.

   Not only the two of them didn’t speak, but even the people nearby didn’t speak, as if everyone heard the conversation between the two of them just now.

  Xu Xiangyang knew that this was just a fleeting little accident, because the people in the front row soon started to make noise again;

But at that moment, just a short moment, there really is a creepy impression, slowly climbing from a person’s spine to the sky, like flowing mercury seeping into the hair and body surface, the cold feeling penetrates. into the bone marrow.

   It was as if these people in this room, even the people outside the room who were in full swing in the game hall, and even all the pedestrians on the street, people in the whole city, closed their mouths at that moment.

   It’s as if the people in this city have actually become manipulated robots or puppets. One button or one action of the mastermind behind the scenes makes them stop…

  Xu Xiangyang just thought it was funny, so he laughed it off.

   But today is different from the past, and now he has understood that this is not a fantasy.

  Is Qingyue’s power activated unconsciously, or is his psychic ability at work?

   “Is the gods an alien?” Lin Xingjie thought thoughtfully, “In this comparison, the two can indeed be regarded as the same thing.”

Xu Xiangyang raised his head and looked at the endless blue sky. The flowing clouds were just inlays and embellishments. The sunlight would not touch the clear dome like glazed glass. It was wider than the world itself; and beyond the sky, There is a darker world that is more vast and boundless.

   is incredible.

   The thoughts in his mind were released.

  Since the silk threads that cover the entire Jinjiang City are all falling from the sky, then maybe the goddess is not in the city at all, but in the sky.

   He imagined the absurd scene of a huge and friendless spider lying over the city, like an insect lying on a glass box, and suddenly felt that it was not impossible.

It’s all to blame for Lin Xingjie’s exaggeration, and he just pinched a giant of 12,000 kilometers… In fact, even if the body size increases ten times on this basis, it is not impossible for the media to do it, but there is no Just necessary.

   “Why don’t you go to the sky to see?”

  Xu Xiangyang thought about it, and this sentence suddenly popped out of his mouth.

   “Huh? What did you say?”

  Lin Xingjie turned her face in surprise.

   “I mean, are there monsters in the sky?”

  Xu Xiangyang pointed to the top.

   “…The sky is very big, where are you going to find it?”

   Rapunzel looked at him speechlessly.

   “I went up once before, 12,000 kilometers, and reached the height of the stratosphere, higher than the average plane, but I didn’t see anything.”

“Too.”

  Xu Xiangyang sighed.

   “Let’s start with what you can see right now.”

   No matter what angle you look at, this building is the lair of “False Qingyue”, and at the same time it is likely to be the place where the squad leader is imprisoned, otherwise there is no need to specifically resist Xingjie’s offensive.

   But the problem now is that the opponent uses the life of the entire city as a bargaining chip to force the remaining people to throw the rat—in fact, the lives of most of the resisters are also in the “chip”.

   Just now, the latest news came from the city boundary. The current situation is not only that people inside Jinjiang City can’t get out, but also people outside can’t get in.

   Today’s Jinjiang City has completely turned into a “besieged city”, and the “moat” surrounding the city is a barrier that gathers the spiritual strength of all 3.2 million citizens.

  The inability to enter the city cannot stop the reckless actions of the gods; but if you want to cross the barriers, you will have to destroy the hearts of millions of people.

   On top of that, if transportation is not restored in time, the lives of millions will soon come to a standstill and hardship.

   In a situation where the actions and thoughts of everyone in the city may be manipulated, this is a bomb that can be detonated at any time—

  Although it has just started because of the incident, everyone’s feelings are not obvious, and more people are still kept in the dark;

   But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jinjiang City may soon fall into a more serious and intractable predicament from the recent Stargazing Club invasion and the God-media battle, and even the Nest Mother incident ten years ago.

  The setting sun gradually disappeared into the mountain.

   Lin Xingjie, who was beside her, suddenly stood up, her back straight. She opened her arms to meet the evening wind coming out from her, and stretched her waist greatly against the gradually drawn night curtain.

   “…Xingjie?”

   “No matter how tricky things are, you have to do them, right? I’m not in the mood to care about other things for the time being, but that’s my friend.”

  Lin Xingjie put her hands on her hips with a dashing attitude.

“I won’t be too rude this time, I’m just going to go in alone, knock on her door politely, and bring her out. See if she has the ability to hang me up. ”
