Chapter 423 way home

   Chapter 423 Homecoming

The power released by the goddess who is suspected to be [Cao Mother] spreads to the whole city, making it impossible for people outside the city to enter, and people inside the city to escape, turning Jinjiang City into a complete siege; all those who want to violate this rule People will be hoisted up and down by the invisible silk threads tied to their bodies, falling into a state of half-dead; if someone wants to use a powerful external force to break the blockade, it will take the lives of 3.2 million people in the blink of an eye…

  The situation seems to have fallen into a dilemma, and anyone who is observing the situation can understand one truth: this is just the beginning.

   This is an upright trap; the purpose of a trap is to capture its prey. For the gods, the lives of millions of ordinary people, as well as those of ordinary psychics and mediums, are obviously not qualified prey, those are just bait.

   Seeing Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie walking out of the penalty area, Captain Li and the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

   In this situation, if they lose the support of the divine media, they will be completely over, and it is better to raise their hands and surrender as soon as possible.

   “That building is not a haunted house. Is the situation outside this building just a disguise? Is it really possible for the haunted house to move to another place?”

   After listening to Xu Xiangyang’s remarks, Long Po replied without hesitation:

“The transfer of the haunted house has indeed happened, but it often reappears at the original location within a period of time after disappearing. If the phenomenon of haunted houses has been transferred even at the spatial level, it can only mean that it is a larger distant power. It is working. However, since it is on the territory of the **** media, it is not uncommon for such a thing to happen.”

   Zhou Xingjian and Li Heng looked at each other, turned their heads and said to the two young people:

“We immediately arranged manpower to search the whole city. The remote fluctuation monitoring system established by ‘Yan Luoyan’ is very useful in normal times, and can monitor the phenomenon of haunted houses and activity traces within 3,000 square kilometers 24 hours a day. , but for now, it may be the most primitive method that is reliable.”

   “As soon as we get any news, we will notify you immediately.”

   Having said this, Li Hengshu couldn’t help but sighed deeply.

   “Sister, we’re all counting on you.”

  “…”

  Lin Xingjie was staring at the willow tree by the river under the night in the distance, until Xu Xiangyang quietly pulled her arm, and the girl realized that the other party was actually talking to her.

   “Ha, what do you call me?” Rapunzel pointed to her young face full of youthful energy and collagen, and stared at him with an incredible look, “How old are you, uncle?”

   “Then why don’t I call you the leader?”

  Li Hengshu didn’t care.

   sounds very casual, but in Xu Xiangyang’s view, this person may have struggled for a long time on the name of the **** media before making such a strange choice. This is a subtle reflection of the person’s demeanor, which is inconsistent with the person’s apparent words and deeds.

   In the final analysis, it is because Lin Xingjie has not been officially identified as a divine match for too long, and she herself has no idea in this regard for the time being, so some people don’t know how to deal with it.

   “…Forget it, I agree anyway.”

  Lin Xingjie in turn grabbed Xu Xiangyang’s arm and said in an indifferent tone.

   “It’s about my friends, even if no one asks, I will do it, and I will do my best.”

  …

   After half an hour, Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie left, leaving only a few adults.

After the    **** match left, Luang Po seemed to have lost interest in the repeated discussions that could not get a reasonable solution, and left with her subordinates. The remaining two men lit a cigarette at the same time, puffing in the clouds, watching the staff in the camp busy, just looking for a corner to be lazy.

   “Speaking of which, has such a serious situation happened before?”

   Li Hengzhi asked the old man beside him casually.

   He knew Zhou Xingjian when he was young, and he worked with each other in his early years. The two were both teachers and friends.

   Li Hengzhu’s ability was discovered in his work after that, and he was rated as a top psychic medium and soon left Jinjiang City. But even after heading to the capital, they have remained in close contact.

   “No, I am afraid it is by far the number one example worldwide.”

  The old police officer’s face was covered by the permeating smoke, and his voice was hoarse from exhaustion.

   “…Really. After all, this year is a very special year, the millennium is coming soon, and it’s normal to have some surprises.”

   Li said horizontally. He didn’t know if he was consoling or sarcastic.

“Actually, there are similar examples. Cities where gods were born will become extraordinary in a long period of time. Yunnan Province, where Yama was born, was between the 1950s and 1960s. There has been a blowout of the haunted house phenomenon, and the number of psychics and mediums has also exploded. Even the previous generation of Gu Kings can grow bigger, all related to that abnormal event that spread to the entire Southeast Asia. As for Jinjiang City…”

   Zhou Xingjian looked at Li Hengshu, and the two were silent for a while before Li Hengshu spoke slowly:

   “What if, are these really two divine media?”

“This is not what I care about now. It is not that the invasion of the gods has not happened. Although it is the first time that an enemy that has been repelled has made a comeback, it is not unimaginable; what we really need to pay attention to is that it sets a trap If the power of the gods that eroded Jinjiang this time really came from the former [nest mother], it can only mean one thing: it is learning how to deal with humans.”

  Li Hengshu loves to watch movies and has a collection of discs at home. He remembered those movies made by Yankee about aliens attacking the earth on a large scale. Often the former’s weapons and technology would far outperform humans, but in the end they would always be defeated by humans with their brains, intelligence and strategy.

   But the reality is not so simple. If there are races that are more capable of fighting than humans, there is no reason for them to be dumber than humans.

   is like the goddess in Jinjiang City, who clearly has the power to subvert reality, but still chooses to hide.

   “To find a way to turn the situation around as soon as possible.”

   Zhou Xingjian threw away the half cigarette he had smoked, stomped on it with his foot, and said in a deep voice.

   “If you don’t want to see the whole city being hanged into the sky, or worse…”

   “What’s worse?”

   “Of course. For example, the citizens were all mentally manipulated, turned into madmen, and began to attack the blockade of this city, and even chose to lift the blockade at a certain moment, so that millions of madmen rushed to other cities in one go…”

   “Don’t, stop talking.”

   Li Hengshu waved his hand quickly.

   “My hair stands on end just listening to you say a few words. This is really not my escape from reality. Anyway, if something like that happens, we can’t stop it, so don’t think about it.”

   “Yeah, can’t stop it.”

   Zhou Xingjian smiled bitterly.

   “At that time, I will only be a member of the army of lunatics.”

   He patted the dust on his trousers, got up and walked towards the camp.

   “Let’s go, let’s work hard and do what we can do first.”

  *

  Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie left the camp.

   Apart from waiting for news, there is no other place to go right now. The school has long since closed, so they decided to go home together.

   “Let’s take leave tomorrow, let’s go to the possible places in the city, such as the places we visited with Qingyue before.”

   “Okay….Ah, yes.”

  Xu Xiangyang found that the two were almost at the door of the house.

   “I have to tell my sister in advance, so that she won’t worry.”

  Although the city has been turned upside down, the scenery of this alley is still the same as usual.

  The wires running on the eaves and the clothesline below cut the night sky above the alley into dark black squares, and the clothes hanged out one by one squeezed the already narrow walking space even more cramped.

   At this time, when the curtain came to an end, every household lit up cooking cigarettes and put on security windows. The windows, which were illuminated by the indoor lights and turned into a dark yellow, showed a few strands of the aroma of braised meat or steamed fish, tempting passers-by to move their forefingers.

   Just as Xu Xiangyang’s thinking went from “saving friends and the city” to “what to eat tonight”, he heard Lin Xingjie’s stomach growl twice.

  Xu Xiangyang turned his head and saw that the Rapunzel was rubbing his stomach with his head down and pouted.

   He thought the girl would be shy, but it didn’t. After feeling her sight, she raised her head and said with a smile:

   “I’m hungry, Xiangyang, go back and cook.”

  Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, and he couldn’t help laughing.

   “Why, I’m the one in charge of cooking, right?”

   “But my cooking is not delicious, at least not as good as yours.”

   “If it’s not good, you can practice. Just eat and not do it every day, be careful to become a big slacker.”

   “I’m a slacker!”

  Lin Xingjie pouted and admitted without shame. While she was talking, she hugged his arm affectionately, and at the same time she put her body on it without hesitation, her innocent and lovely face came over, and she showed her puppy-like flattery at a very close distance. with a smile, his lips to his ear, and he said:

   “I want to eat sauerkraut, fish, saliva, chicken, charred tofu, garlic moss, fried meat, fried potatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs…”

   “Almost got it, why don’t you post the name of the dish?”

  Xu Xiangyang shook off her arm and said angrily.

   “It’s too late today, I’m going to the street to buy some.”

After letting go of the sense of distance he deliberately kept in order to protect himself, Lin Xingjie is actually the kind of girl who can act like a spoiled child. During the time when the two of them first got along, he was often fascinated by it, but he was already fascinated by it. After getting along for several months, he has long been immune.

   But…Xu Xiangyang touched his chin, and he suddenly thought of something. Today, Xingjie’s coquettish way is a bit like that of the monitor, but it is indeed a little bit novel…

   “It’s not free, there are rewards.”

  Lin Xingjie hugged her boyfriend’s neck and started to tickle his neck with her hair. Although they were hugging intimately in the alley, maybe the neighbors could see it when they came out occasionally, but they didn’t care about it for a long time.

   “What reward?”

   “Well, I’m going to your bedroom tonight?”

   Xu Xiangyang couldn’t help sighing when he heard this sentence, the two girls are really different. If it were the class leader, at least he would have to say this sentence in a more shy and soft tone – even if it was pretending; but from Lin Xingjie’s mouth, it seemed very natural…

   is even a little dashing.

   Although in terms of results, what two people want to do with him may not be different.

   “No, my sister is at home today. You sleep in the same room with her, she has good ears.”

   “I think you’ve become less courageous…”

   Lin Xingjie’s words were interrupted abruptly, and she didn’t speak for a while. When Xu Xiangyang looked at her suspiciously, he found that the other party had fallen into silence from the state of excitement, and even his shoulders were drooping.

   “Sorry, I seem to have lost interest all of a sudden.”

“…yes?”

   “Yeah. Because Qingyue’s matter hasn’t been resolved yet. We didn’t even meet her once.”

“makes sense.”

  Xu Xiangyang sighed.

   Just as the two of them were downcast, a voice came from the door of the house.

   “Hey, what are you two doing there?”

  Li Qinglian said.

  The woman was wearing a cooking apron, her black hair neatly draped behind her in a ponytail, leaning against the door frame, shaking a colander in her hand, her head turned to the side, looking at them curiously.
