After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

Early in the morning.

A group of travel-worn people broke into the M City Branch of the Supernatural Administration.

The leader was a tall man with a full beard.

He rushed in hastily, grabbed the receptionist who came over, and asked eagerly:

"Where are the people?"

The receptionist looked blank and stammered, "What, who?"

"It's your employee who was parasitized by an unknown creature. Where is he!" The bearded man shook the receptionist in his hand with a fierce look on his face: "Hurry up! If it's too late, there will be no time for anything!"

A voice came from a distance: "Oh, Zhao Dong."

The bearded man let go of the receptionist, his eyes lit up: "You know?"

"Yes." The employee nodded: "The news came from the hospital today that he is in a stable condition and should be discharged this week."

Now it's the bearded man's turn to be confused: "...Huh?"

After half an hour.

On the eighth floor of the hospital, at the entrance of the special isolation ward.

Liu Zhaocheng pointed to Zhao Dong who was sleeping in the ward, and said, "Look."

The bearded man cautiously walked into the ward, and carefully lifted the quilt covering Zhao Dong's body.

There are still traces of bluish-purple swelling on the patient's limbs, but it is obviously slowly disappearing, and the normal color of the underlying skin can already be seen.

The members of that squad looked at each other in bewilderment.

This……

This still never happened...

Is it a mistake in judgment?

Only the bearded man standing at the foot of the bed suddenly bent down and looked carefully at Zhao Dong's knee for a while.

He stretched out his hand, rubbed his finger on the other's skin, sniffed it, and then stuck out his tongue to lick it.

Liu Zhaocheng who witnessed everything: "...?"

But the surrounding team members were obviously all familiar. One of them came up and asked, "How is it? Brother Wu, did you find anything?"

The man named Wu Ge had a solemn face:

"It's a ghost spider."

"That……?"

Brother Wu looked thoughtful, shook his head slowly, and nodded again: "Someone came before us."

The people in the team were shocked.

"And, very knowledgable." Brother Wu let out a breath slowly.

"!" The team members looked at each other, then lowered their voices: "Could it be..."

"Ring bell bell!"

A series of crisp phone rings interrupted the dignified atmosphere in the ward.

Brother Wu answered the phone: "...um, um, ok, ok."

After answering briefly, he hung up the phone and said:

"The news came from the police station. In the early hours of this morning, someone found 28 missing persons on the Fourth Avenue. I can't recall what happened during the few days when I was missing."

Everyone was shocked.

"That's right," Brother Wu bit a cigarette in his mouth in a daze, and said vaguely: "...too know how to do it."

Liu Zhaocheng, who was on the side, was very anxious to hear:

"What kind of riddles are you playing? What do you know?"

Brother Wu and his team looked at each other, and they nodded.

"Are you the head of the logistics department?" He took out the unlit cigarette from his mouth, held it in his hand, and looked at Liu Zhaocheng in front of him thoughtfully: "Next we should stay in City M for a while , and may need your cooperation."

"Would you like to sign a non-disclosure agreement?"

Liu Zhaocheng: "OK!"

10 minute later.

Liu Zhaocheng was silent for a few seconds, and then said with difficulty: "This...is this your confidentiality agreement?"

It was a long black-red worm with a thick wrist, like a huge mutated leech, it had only a disc-like mouth full of sharp fangs, which made people shudder.

"actually……"

I don't want to know that much either...

As if he didn't see Liu Zhaocheng's resistance, Brother Wu couldn't resist pulling Liu Zhaocheng, who had already started to retreat, and directly put the leech on the back of his hand.

Liu Zhaocheng's eyes darkened.

The black-red body of the leech wriggled slowly, and before it had sucked much blood, Wu Ge skillfully tore it off, and then threw it back into the previous container with ease: "Okay. "

"..." Liu Zhaocheng laughed dryly: "Haha, that's great."

Brother Wu handed the container to the team members behind him, and then began to explain the matter with a serious face.

The more he listened, the more solemn Liu Zhaocheng's face became.

After a long time, he slowly asked: "So, what is that... game?"

"We don't know either." Wu Ge lit a cigarette: "Humans have very little information about it until now. No one knows where it came from, why it appeared, and how it works. How did it breed so many hideous monsters and ghosts."

Green smoke curled up, hovering and floating upwards.

"We only know that its system collapsed for unknown reasons." Brother Wu bit his cigarette butt: "So, those monsters who were originally locked in the game broke free and began to invade our world, although the two worlds have not yet Fully integrated, however, this is only a matter of time."

Liu Zhaocheng felt a chill rising from his bones, and he shivered involuntarily.

The unknown darkness spread before his eyes, making him instinctively terrified.

He settled down: "What about you? Why do you know so much?"

Brother Wu smiled shortly, but there was no trace of a smile in his voice.

His dark pupils reflected the sparks of a burning cigarette, like fireworks blooming in the dark:

"—Because I crawled out of it."

·

Ye Jia strictly covered himself with seven or eight layers of yin energy, and he didn't stop until he was absolutely sure that no trace of humanity could be revealed from him.

He pulled away the ghost beast, and in just a few seconds, he arrived at the place agreed with the shadow ghost.

The setting sun overhead had gradually set, and the drowsy twilight shrouded the barren open space.

The shadow ghost was already waiting there.

Its body presents a translucent fuzzy texture under the sun, swaying with the evening wind.

Ye Jia carefully looked around the wasteland in front of him.

The familiar figure did not appear.

As soon as he saw Ye Jia, the shadow ghost warmly greeted him:

"Here here."

Ye Jia walked over and asked tentatively, "Ji Xuan didn't come this time?"

"!" Shadow Ghost made a choking sound, lowered his voice, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter with you! How can you call the king by his name! It's a good thing he didn't come this time, you don't want to die ?”

——Not this time.

After accurately capturing the key words in the Shadow Ghost's words, Ye Jia secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Feel sorry."

"What are we going to do this time?" he asked.

Shadow Ghost's voice turned cold in an instant: "Clean the door."

"Although most of the ghosts who participated in the rally yesterday were directly wiped out by the king, there are still some who slipped through the net and escaped by chance." s consequence."

Ye Jia quickly glanced at it.

—Obviously, this is a warning.

Shadow Ghost took out a pitch-black compass. There was no pointer on the compass, only thick or light ink, which was slowly changing and flowing.

It glanced down, then looked in a certain direction ahead: "There."

Ye Jia closely followed the erratic figure of the shadow ghost in front of him, and the scenery around him flew by, blurring into a phantom at high speed.

They shuttled quickly in the shadow of the building, and finally stopped at the entrance of a dark alley.

The sound of roaring traffic in the distance seemed distant and vague, and the alley in front of me was shrouded in a dark silence. When I listened carefully, I could hear the faint sound of chewing and swallowing coming from the depths of the darkness.

The shadow ghost slowly melted into the dark shadows.

In the depths of the alley, two hungry ghosts are chewing on the stump of a human being. They tore and devoured the meat and bones in their mouths. Looking at the remaining pieces of meat and blood on the ground, he muttered while eating: "...Hungry, hungry, hungry..."

"You will soon be full forever." A cold voice came from the darkness.

The two hungry ghosts suddenly became alert, and slowly leaned towards the opposite direction of the sound, hissing bitterly:

"Ji Xuan's lackey..."

"Yes." Shadow Ghost smiled miserably: "The king's lackey sends you his greetings."

The voice that was still in front of him suddenly sounded from the back of the hungry ghost's head, whispering maliciously: "Bon voyage."

The pitch-black shadow suddenly swelled up, as if opening a big mouth, and suddenly wrapped one of the hungry ghosts in it.

In the next second, the hoarse and miserable roar of the hungry ghost sounded in the darkness.

Seeing that something was wrong, the other hungry ghost hurriedly fled towards the entrance of the alley. In the depths of the shadows, several shadowy hands tightly grasped its bony and slender lower limbs, pulling it into the darkness.

The hungry ghost suddenly opened its mouth wide, lowered its head and bit off its own calf, and then quickly slipped away.

The moment he left his body, a mouth split open on that pale calf, biting Shadow Ghost's hand tightly.

"Damn it!" Shadow Ghost was taken aback.

The hungry ghost surrounded by ghosts and ghosts took the opportunity to break free and attacked it violently.

The shadow ghost had to deal with the hungry ghost before he could finally get out and turned to look for the hungry ghost that had just escaped.

It hurriedly chased out of the alley.

Just after walking out of the darkness, there was only a "plop".

The heavy body of the hungry ghost fell at its feet.

The slender limbs like dead branches spread out, the pale face was upturned, the mouth in the chest cavity was wide open, and a huge opening was split from the depth of the mouth, as if being neatly cut by some sharp weapon, almost Its entire body was torn in two.

Its body gradually faded away.

—It turned out to be dead.

Shadow Ghost raised his head and looked at the new ghost standing at the entrance of the alley in disbelief.

Layers of dark yin energy completely enveloped the opponent, and under the illumination of the street lamps at the alley, one could vaguely see the tall and straight figure hidden under the thick ashes-like shadow.

A gleam of coldness shone on the opponent's fingertips for a moment, and then disappeared.

Shadow Ghost couldn't help but secretly startled.

Hungry ghosts are extremely difficult to deal with, although the attack power is not high, but the defense power can be regarded as abnormal.

The escaped hungry ghost was able to transform into severed limbs, which meant it was at least level B or above.

And the one it dealt with just now was only c+ level.

Even so, it has to pull the hungry ghost into its ghost shell, so that it can barely break through the abnormally hard skin of the opponent.

And this new ghost is actually... able to accurately kill a B-level hungry ghost in one blow directly in the real world without any ghost bonuses. In its impression, even a ghost of its own level, Very little can be done.

——Technology, experience and strength are indispensable.

The shadow ghost looked at the other party's eyes and changed directly:

"Brother, awesome."

It used its shadow to recover the corpse of the hungry ghost, and then approached Ye Jia: "What was that just now?"

"Did you use it to hurt me yesterday?" Shadow Ghost looked at Ye Jia curiously: "You know, I'm pretty fast, I didn't even see how you did it!"

Even though the rendezvous of yesterday's encounter at the entrance of the cave was heard, Shadow Ghost's teeth were still aching.

It has not felt the terrible pain of being directly hurt to the main body for a long time:

"Is it your weapon?"

Ye Jia: "...about the same."

"What does it look like? Let me see?" Shadow Ghost asked.

If you see me, my real identity will be lost.

Ye Jia: "It's claws, they don't usually stick out."

"But didn't you stick it out when you were fighting?" Shadow Ghost insisted.

"That's passive." Ye Jia got a headache from it's noise, so he lied casually: "That's right, only when mating, he will actively stretch out."

"Oh!" Shadow Ghost suddenly realized: "So you are the kind of race that needs to mate! Sorry, sorry, we Shadow Ghosts are all divided by ourselves, so it is easy to ignore the feelings of you races."

This is a privacy issue.

After confirming that the other party's strength was good, Shadow Ghost looked up and down at the new ghost in front of him, feeling more and more comfortable as he watched.

As expected of a king!

So discerning!

The previous estrangement and ice melted in an instant, and Shadow Ghost asked, "Hey, by the way, what's your name?"

In the game, ghosts and monsters are usually distinguished according to their races, such as hungry ghosts, shadow ghosts, suckers, ghost-faced spiders, etc., but within the ghosts that have evolved higher intelligence, they also have their own names. Privacy is rarely revealed to ghosts outside the race.

However, as employees working under the same boss, they should have exchanged names.

The reason why it has been delayed until now is because it was not recognized enough before.

Shadow Ghost said, "You can call me Ami."

Ye Jia: "..."

What the hell is this name?

He asked slowly, "Did you... did it yourself?"

Ami nodded, and Ye Jia could actually see a ray of shyness from its fuzzy facial features: "Yes, does it sound good?"

"..." Ye Jia replied dryly, "...very characteristic."

"What about you?"

Ye Jia said casually: "Aye."

After exchanging names with each other, the relationship between them became more familiar, and the work of dealing with other traitors became smoother.

One person and one ghost cooperated tacitly, and quickly caught those fish that slipped through the net.

Ami looked down at the time on the phone in surprise: "It's much faster than I thought."

Ye Jia's eyes lit up: "It's over?"

"There is one last thing left." Ami put away the compass: "There should be a lot of spider soldiers and spider eggs left in the spider nest. If they are left alone, they might be able to raise another insect mother."

——However, last night, Ye Jia had personally ensured that this would not happen.

But it doesn't know about this.

Ye Jia nodded calmly: "Okay, let's go."

Soon, they came to the construction site last night again.

A waning moon hung overhead among the thin clouds, and the desolate construction site below looked bleak and terrifying.

It's obviously summer, but the moment you set foot on this land, you can instantly feel a icy chill penetrating the bone marrow, which makes you cringe subconsciously.

Even if you haven't come to the entrance of the cave, you can feel the soaring evil spirit and blood energy coming from the front, condensing into a thick and cold smoke, faintly covering the broken walls and ruins below.

"Hello." The little black hand whispered in Ye Jia's ear, "There seems to be someone here."

Apparently, Ami noticed this too. She turned her head, fixedly stared in a certain direction with her blurred face, and said hissingly, "I smell human beings."

The moment its voice fell, several figures slowly appeared in the ruins not far away.

"It's here."

Wu Su didn't even need to look down at the map in his hand, Wu Su knew he had found the right place - this strong smell of yin and blood was a creepy feeling that even people without spiritual vision could not ignore.

The other members of the team also had solemn expressions.

Although they were still far away, they could still feel the evil aura coming from ahead.

Even though they have all experienced many battles, the instinctive fear of danger still exists, slowly climbing up the spine like a cold snake.

Without taking another step forward, they can already realize how dangerous the front is.

"Brother Wu," one of the team members hesitated, turned to look at Wu Su, and asked, "Are we... really going in?"

Wu Su took out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth.

He looked into the distance thoughtfully, as if he was entangled in something, he even forgot to light the cigarette in his mouth.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Let's go."

On the other side, Ami stared coldly at the team that was heading towards the spider's lair. The shadow behind it slowly swelled and elongated, as if it was about to move.

Ye Jia grabbed it quickly: "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Ami looked at Ye Jia suspiciously.

Ye Jia said: "Do you still remember the job the king gave me?"

"of course."

Ye Jia pointed to the team: "They are wearing the uniforms of the administration."

"We don't need to get involved in this matter. It would be bad if we left any traces and ruined the king's plan." He lied without changing his face: "Anyway, there are spider soldiers waiting for them in the lair, maybe he will still be there." It can help us reduce our workload.”

"Oh!" Ami suddenly said, "You still think well."

"However, I think it's better for one of us to sneak in and watch it." Ye Jia patted it on the shoulder: "You have been working hard tonight, and I am the queen. You can rest this time, and I will go Just do it."

Ami was very moved: "Brother, you are so kind."

Ye Jia was very humble: "No, no. I should do it."

So, one person and one ghost bid farewell happily.

Ami was watching the wind at the entrance of the cave, while Ye Jia followed secretly under the cover of night.

The little black hand that had been on Ye Jia's shoulder said quietly: "Won't your conscience hurt if you lie to me like this?"

Ye Jia asked back: "Which sentence I said is not true?"

Little Black Hand: "..."

It seems to be true.

This human being is playing tricks, and it is really an old sow wearing a bra, a set of bras.

——Your hearts are dirty when playing tactics!

Inside the cave.

Wu Su was at the forefront of the team. He walked forward slowly, his sharp eyes moving inch by inch in the dark cave, alert to everything that might happen.

There was a strong stench in the passage, the ground and walls were wet, and there was a dark red light shining under the light of the flashlight.

It was as if a massacre had just occurred here.

Wu Su bent down and carefully examined the corpse of a half-human spider soldier in front of him.

He stretched out his hand, moved the dead spider's legs covered with black bristles, and observed a huge wound on its belly that was so deep that it almost cut it in half.

The yellow-green liquid gushed out slowly with his movements, and fell on the ground with a gurgle, making the air in the entire cave even more polluted.

Wu Su let go: "We are one step late."

"...haha" A member of the team laughed dryly, "That's pretty good."

Judging from the current signs, if they really came early, they might be sent to their deaths.

Wu Su bit his cigarette butt, but didn't reply.

He led the team to continue to grope forward.

After passing through the tortuous and complicated passages, they finally came to the center of the entire spider's lair.

Ghosts will dissipate into Yin Qi, but monsters will not.

In that huge and empty cave, the horrific corpse of the worm mother lay horizontally.

Her human face was frozen in death, twisted into a hideous appearance in anger, pain, viciousness and hatred, her cloudy eyes stared into the distance, and there were countless traces of blood gu fish left on her huge body. Wound.

The egg sacs on the back of the stomach have been broken, and the liquid has already seeped into the soil. The spider eggs that have lost their nutritional supply show a stiff grayish white color.

The ground was covered with severed limbs and dried blood.

The team members were dumbfounded, stunned by the almost purgatory scene in front of them.

"Are these... all done by the knowledgeable person you said?"

One of them asked slowly in a very soft voice, as if afraid of disturbing something.

"...I'm afraid it is." Wu Su took a deep breath, and took the cigarette butt in his hand: "This ghost-faced spider is probably at least above grade A. I don't think anyone can do it except him. to this point."

The team member was taken aback: "Who?"

Wu Su's gaze was deep and dignified, and he said slowly: "Ace."

Ye Jia who was cueed inexplicably: "..."

???

Actually it's not me this time...

The name was very unfamiliar, and the team members repeated it in doubt: "ace?"

"He is a myth in the game." Wu Su twirled his beard, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he was lost in memory: "The game is a points system, 1 million points can be exchanged for the qualification to leave the game, and ace is the top scorer on the points list. No.[-], and according to legend, the only player who cleared the game."

what? !

The team members gasped in unison.

In this small team, no one knew Wu Su's experience.

He stayed in the game for three full years, struggling to survive in the bloody storm. He originally thought that his life might be ruined here, but suddenly one day, the game system failed.

For the first time, the scoreboard hanging above his head went dark.

The game's store is inaccessible, the program no longer responds to the player's call, and it no longer forces players into a copy of the escape one by one.

After a short period of confusion, experienced players realized a fact.

The game crashes.

——The door to return to the real world opened.

All the players were ecstatic, as if they were alive after a catastrophe.

But they forgot that this door was not only opened for them, the ghosts in the game also lost their restraints and invaded reality.

And Wu Su, as one of them, after returning to reality, he entered the Supernatural Administration, using his experience in the game to try to curb the rapidly increasing number of ghosts in society.

——Precisely because he knew Wu Su's experience, he had also fought side by side with him, had close contact with and even fought with those terrifying ghosts.

That's why the other team members are so clear about the meaning of the title "No. [-] in the standings, the only player who cleared the level".

"My God..." one of them asked in a daze:

"This... is this... a god or a monster?"

"Maybe it's both." Wu Su raised his head to look at the spider's corpse not far away, and his eyes slowly passed over the scars on the ugly corpse.

He said: "Shortly after I just entered the game, I once formed a team with him."

The team members eagerly asked: "Then what? What does he look like?"

Wu Su took a deep breath, looked away, and said solemnly: "Very strong, very strong."

——He still remembers every scene that happened in that dungeon.

Under the dark sky, the hooded youth walked silently at the end of the line, the shadow covering his face.

He didn't speak, just followed silently.

No one knows his identity.

——until the dungeon starts.

The scythe, as bright as moonlight, shone with cruel and sharp light, easily cutting into the monster's abdomen, and the stumps and pieces of flesh flew around, dyeing the sky scarlet.

By the time they came back to their senses, the other party had already slaughtered the entire group of ghosts.

In fact, this time, Wu Su took the initiative to accept the task of City M.

In fact, it was because when he was sorting out the documents, he saw ace's name appearing on one of them.

And now, all the evidence points to the same conclusion——

The rumors are true, and the ace has indeed passed the level.

and……

A frenzied light flashed in Wu Su's eyes, and he murmured: "—He is in City M now."

In a hidden passage not far away.

"My God," the little black hand grabbed Ye Jia's shoulders, listened to the conversation in the distance with relish, and exclaimed: "So you are so popular? You have been through customs for so long, and there are still diehard fans?"

"..." Ye Jia was expressionless: "Shut up, you."

In this world, is there anything more embarrassing than hearing someone blow your rainbow fart in person?

--No.

"So, are there any forces in this world who don't want to find you?" the little black hand asked quietly.

Ye Jia: "........."

suffocated.
