Chapter 7 Giant Astronaut

In the quiet and dim movie theater, above the head of a certain bald man who didn't notice anything unusual, a bunch of mollusk "bug clusters" were floating and gathering.

This group of molluscs has a translucent illusory body, and when illuminated by the light in space, it will reflect colorful colors, as if it is composed of soap bubbles blown by the sun.

They squirmed their fat bodies, entangled with each other, and gathered into a disgusting mass.

Located at the front of them, similar to the head or mouthparts, is a simple and distorted human face composed of three black holes arranged in a shape like a dwarf alien.

This is the alien creature named "spiritual leech" by Ji Chunzao, which cannot be observed and detected by ordinary people, like a monster in another dimension.

Among them, several leeches had already inserted the tip of their mouthparts into the head of the unlucky male spectator, and began to absorb the nutrients inside—that is, brain tissue and brain marrow.

The body of the spirit leech moves, sometimes expands and sometimes shrinks, and the translucent skin floats ferocious bloodshot, sucking it exhilaratingly.

The real scene of alien creatures hunting humans, the extremely horrifying picture, the impact is beyond any horror movie...

However, the audience in the cinema didn't realize it.This eerie calm, combined with the predation scene, makes people feel that this world is so bizarre.

Ordinary people living on the earth are hardly aware of the existence of alien creatures. They are adjacent to the dark abyss, but they can live a peaceful life in ignorance.

——This is the world in Ji Chunzao's eyes.

As if she was alone...the waking world.

The girl's chest began to rise and fall, her heart was pounding, and her breathing became rapid at the same time.

Ji Chunzao tried very hard to maintain a serious and calm attitude in front of his companion, in order not to let him panic or simply run away.

But isn't she afraid herself?

No, of course not.

The calm look she is sitting on the chair is all fake.

Even if Ji Chunzao didn't lie, the group of spirit leeches would not chase people, this is the conclusion she got through observation - but how could she not feel scared when she watched a big living person being eaten up in front of her? ?
it's them...

Ji Chunzao stared closely at the worm mass floating not far away, not even daring to blink, her hand on the armrest could not help but move aside a little bit, and grabbed the wrist of the boy beside her.

If she saw them approaching even a little bit, she would immediately grab Yan Jingxing and run away. She thought to herself, even if she was misunderstood and mistrusted, she had to do this.

I don't know if I should call it lucky, but as soon as the spirit leeches appeared, they locked onto the target and swarmed towards a middle-aged man in the front row.

Although she knew that this was not good, Ji Chunzao quietly breathed a sigh of relief; but on the other hand, her mood became more gloomy.

Although the girl can see alien creatures, she has no ability to prevent them from acting recklessly in the human world.

She couldn't even remind the other party that it would be easier to be regarded as a fool or a lunatic by others; most importantly, once the mouthparts invaded the mind, the person was hopeless, and approaching rashly would only lead to being entangled by leeches.

This sense of powerlessness has accompanied her since she was a child, but she has no way to confide in anyone.

The loneliness and heaviness that cannot be understood by others makes Ji Chunzao's heart sink continuously. Up to now, it has already accumulated a huge weight - it is not a burden that a teenage girl can bear at all.

Not only watching other people being invaded by alien creatures, Ji Chunzao has to let his companions see the consequences of being eaten brains, only in this way can they win people's trust...

With guilt and uneasiness, she whispered:
"Jing Xing, you can see it right away. Even if you can't see it..."

Ji Chunzao chattered, but found that there was no response from the side.

She turned her head and saw that the boy sitting next to him was shaking slightly, as if he was seriously ill.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his mouth opened and closed like a fish landed on the shore.

"Yan Jing Xing?!"

*
Yan Jingxing stuck tightly to the chair behind him, his mouth was wide open, unable to utter a sound, and he stared straight at the huge astronaut, who came out of the screen bit by bit.

The astronauts appeared without making a sound, as if everything happened in a vacuum without air.

His feet hit the ground, and he slowly straightened up.

The astronaut's figure is so tall that when he stood up, he was as high as the hall, and the shadow cast down covered all the audience in the projection hall.

This……

What the hell is this? !
Ghosts, ghosts, aliens... Yan Jingxing could imagine these; but he instinctively felt that the huge astronaut in front of him was some kind of transcendent existence, which was by no means comparable to ordinary supernatural phenomena.

He felt more like he was dreaming, or having strange hallucinations.

Then, Yan Jingxing heard the sound of dull breathing, "Hu-ha-", it was the sound that only he could hear when the oxygen was sealed in the helmet.

The astronauts stood silently, breathed silently, and silently looked down at everyone in the auditorium.

The bright black mirror couldn't see the eyes inside, but Yan Jingxing still felt that "he" was looking at him.

Yan Jingxing didn't dare to move.

After that, "he" slowly raised a hand and stretched it towards the audience.

The boy held his breath.

"His" hand didn't stretch out to the back row, but stopped after touching the air in the front row, and his fingers started to move, as if he was touching something invisible...

... No, no, not nothing.

Yan Jingxing's eyes widened again.

He saw, right in the center of the astronaut's palm, a mass of twisting and wriggling bugs, exuding an illusory colorful brilliance.Compared with "his" huge body, it was like a small bag.

The astronaut's finger exerted a little force.

"boom!"

In this way, the worm mass was easily crushed and exploded.

Yan Jingxing heard the explosion, like a balloon that was overblown and inflated to its limit, but he wasn't sure if it was his illusion.

Then, as soon as the astronaut took a step, he directly crossed the auditorium and disappeared from his field of vision.

A kind of inexplicable astonishing emotion was emerging, driving Yan Jingxing to stand up subconsciously, wanting to look behind.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

He wanted to call to stop the astronaut.

And at that moment, a burst of severe pain hit Yan Jingxing's head.

*
"……Eh?"

When Ji Chunzao was anxious, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The girl is born with the ability to sense the existence of "abnormal radio waves" in the air, which is the key to her being able to confirm the time and location of the arrival of aliens.

But at this moment, the chaotic noise that had been ringing in her ears suddenly disappeared, and she returned to the normal world.

She turned her head and saw that the translucent worm mass had disappeared.

Spirit leech, gone?

Did it leave the earth after predation?

No, now is not the time to think about that...

"Wait, wait a minute!"

She heard the boy next to her suddenly yell.

He suddenly stood up from his seat, and then his body shook slightly as if his head had been hit hard.

The boy grabbed his cheek and squatted down while groaning in pain.

"Jing Xing, Yan Jingxing! What's wrong with you?"

She grabbed Yan Jingxing's arm and shook it vigorously twice, but the other person's appearance was obviously caught in some kind of strange disorder...

At this time, Yan Jingxing's strange behavior had already attracted the attention of the people around him.

Ji Chunzao looked around, the movie hadn't finished yet, but the audience's eyes had already turned to this side.

She gritted her teeth, hugged the boy's arm with both hands, and helped him stand up from the ground.

"Go, we have to get out of this place as soon as possible!"

……

15 minute later.

Ji Chunzao came out of the store with a bottle of mineral water.

She saw Yan Jingxing sitting on a bench not far away, waving at her weakly, and subconsciously quickened her pace, trotting all the way to his side.

"Give you."

Yan Jingxing, who was leaning limply on the back of the chair, took the mineral water, unscrewed the lid and took a few big gulps down his throat. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body seemed to come back to life.

"What happened to you just now?"

Ji Chunzao sat down beside him and asked cautiously.

"Could it be... a disease? I mean, the hereditary kind..."

"Huh? Ah, no, that's not it."

Yan Jingxing wiped away the water stains around his mouth and sighed.

"I just saw... very strange things in the cinema."

He's still a little terrified.Moreover, the appearance of that huge astronaut put a lot of pressure on his spirit, which is obviously abnormal, and the reason is still unknown.

"Huh? Strange things, did you see it?"

Ji Chunzao opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe his ears.Then she smiled happily, with surprise in her tone.

"Have you seen the spirit leech? Can you trust me now?!"

"more than."

Yan Jingxing regained his composure.

"What I saw was not an alien, but a person, no, should I say a ghost?..."

Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help shaking her head, and looked down at him with pity.

"Jing Xing, there are no ghosts in this world, you have to believe in science."

I really don't want to be told by you!
Yan Jingxing resisted the urge to complain.At this time, he suddenly realized a problem: the audience in the movie theater did not see the astronauts, nor did they see the spirit leeches, so what about Ji Chunzao who has superpowers?
"Could it be that you can't see it?"

"See what?"

"It's the giant astronaut who came out of the screen..."

"?"

Ji Chunzao tilted his head, showing a confused expression.

She really didn't seem to see it.

Only you can see it?what is happening?
……

Yan Jingxing told all about what he had seen and heard.It can be seen that this is the first time he has encountered a supernatural phenomenon, so he can't help but want to find resonance; in this respect, Ji Chunzao is naturally his predecessor.

But in fact, the little girl's mood is very complicated.

After comparing the description with Yan Jingxing, she was sure that he had indeed seen the spirit leech.

For the first time, I met my peers who can see alien creatures like myself, and I found a companion who has a common topic for the first time. It could not have been a better development.

But why suddenly, instead, he became the "invisible" person?
Yan Jingxing wasn't lying, she could tell this, including the sudden disappearance of the group of leeches, which coincided with the time when the so-called "giant astronaut" pinched the worm mass.

but……

astronaut?
What does the appearance of "him" mean?
Sitting on the chair, Ji Chunzao rested her chin, her eyes unconsciously staring at the deep darkness and dim lights in the distance, and the town streets that seemed to be drifting in the tide of night, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The situation seems to be more complicated than imagined.

"Chunzao, what I said is true..."

"I know. I trust you."

Ji Chunzao answered very simply.

If even I, who has been suffering from the feeling of "not being trusted by anyone", can't believe him, who can come?
For her, two people who can see the same things must be natural companions.As for the differences and differences that may still exist...

"Just find out why!"

The girl slapped her knees and stood up neatly.This sudden movement startled Yan Jingxing who was secretly observing her reaction.

"Uh, what are you talking about?"

Ji Chunzao turned her head and smiled happily at him.

"We are not looking for aliens anymore, let's look for the astronauts you mentioned!"

The flowing night brushed the girl's long hair, standing in the evening wind, she seemed to be flying with this force, so happy, so free, so...

Fascinating.

Just by hearing a word from him, she can make a decisive decision. This is her.

What about me?
Yan Jingxing lowered his head, spread out his palms, and then slowly clenched his five fingers.

The moment he saw the huge astronaut appearing in the cinema, apart from the instinctive surprise and panic when he witnessed the giant, what he could still feel was...

A curiosity, a strong curiosity about things like never before.

Yan Jingxing always felt that "he" must have something to say to him, that's why he desperately wanted to stop it.

This feeling has no reason, but it is so real.

He swung his clenched fist vigorously, and also stood up from the chair.

"Okay, let's go!"

This will be a life-changing, unparalleled night of wonder——

At the moment when he reached a consensus with the girl in front of him, Yan Jingxing suddenly had such an idea.
