After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

The young man raised his head, his dark red eyes were dark and deep, and the face of the young man in front of him was reflected in the depths of the pupils, as if the whole world was filled with only one person in front of him, and there was a kind of strong paranoia that was palpitating.

He obediently rested his neck on the blade in the young man's hand, with an intimate smile on his lips.

It's like completely entrusting one's own life and death in the hands of the other party, allowing others to take it.

The two faced each other silently, the atmosphere in the air was frozen and oppressive, so tense that it was hard to breathe.

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes expressionlessly, and said coldly:

"You think I'll soften my heart?"

The blade in his hand approached a few minutes again.

The light of the knife was as cold as silver, and Senhan's blade cut through the young man's slender neck.

A thin scarlet wound appeared on the pale skin, and it looked even more shocking under the dim light. A trace of blood oozes out, like a scarlet blood snake, spitting out a letter, slowly winding along the line of the boy's neck Down, walk under the neckline.

The opponent does not avoid it.

The young and immature boy's voice was slightly hoarse, with a bit of aggrieved nasal voice: "How could it be..."

He raised his hand and unbuttoned the buttons one by one with his slender fingers. The snow-white collar of the shirt spread out, revealing his thin collarbone and chest.

Blade subconsciously sent forward.

The knife cut was deeper, and the blood on Ji Xuan's neck became more turbulent.

Ye Jia was stunned.

The unkind voice fluctuated a bit:

"……what are you doing?"

On the young man's thin chest, there was a deep scar, which looked particularly ferocious and glaring on the smooth and pale skin--the location was precise, and it cut straight to the vital point. It could be seen that the person who attacked him was absolutely not lenient.

Fresh blood flowed down and fell on the healed wound, like tears of blood that were about to drip.

Ji Xuan raised his hand to caress his heart, and leaned closer again, the smile on his lips became brighter and brighter:

"Look, I keep all the gifts my brother gave me."

"If you're soft-hearted, you're not a big brother." The young man tilted his head, with a bit of naive cruelty in his expression.

In the next second, he hit the blade in Ye Jia's hand with his neck without hesitation.

Ye Jia was caught off guard.

He only had time to blur the weapon in his hand, but he didn't have time to take it back.

Ji Xuan smiled and pressed his cheek against the opponent's palm, rubbing it slowly and affectionately, and his cold and soft thin lips stayed on the opponent's warm skin for two seconds.

As if being scalded, Ye Jia violently pushed the opponent away.

Fortunately, Ji Xuan is not an adult now, and he staggered back a few steps under his heavy push.

Ye Jia stared at him, seemingly unbelievable, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth:

"Neuropathy."

After speaking, he walked towards his apartment without looking back.

Ji Xuan hurriedly followed, but the door that was closing heavily hit him with a merciless "bang", almost hitting him in the face.

He touched the tip of his nose that almost hit the door, thoughtfully.

...seems a little too much?

But before he could figure out why, the door in front of him suddenly opened again without warning.

The boy raised his head, a gleam of joy flashed in his scarlet eyes.

But before he could speak, he saw a dark object thrown from the door.

Ye Jia was cold, and the voice of gnashing teeth sounded:

"Take your fish."

In the next second, there was only a "bang", and the door was mercilessly closed again.

Ji Xuan lowered his head and looked at the blood gu fish in his palm.

"...how did you become so small?"

Ji Xuan frowned, looking at the blood gu fish that was only the size of a palm.

Although the usual blood gu fish are obedient, they are still a noble and arrogant race in the final analysis. It is almost impossible for them to abandon their face and make them lose face.

The blood gu fish flicked its tail, glanced at the boy-like master with its dark eyes, and seemed to say:

Don't you too?

Ji Xuan: "..."

The blood gu fish turned its head pitifully and looked at the tightly closed door behind it.

Seemingly convinced that the other party would never open the door again, it wagged its tail in frustration, became its previous size, and then passed through the wall of the building and swam out.

The slender boy stood alone in the empty corridor.

Ji Xuan stretched out his hand and gently wiped the wound on his neck.

The bleeding stopped, but the hideous incision was still there.

There was a faint pain in the wound, which was as addictive as a stimulant, making his nerve endings tremble with excitement.

The scarlet tongue gently licks away the blood from the fingertips,

The smile on the young man's lips deepened, his dark red eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of madness loomed in the depths of his eyes.

Good night, brother.

inside the room.

The running water from the faucet rushed down, Ye Jia lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and furrowed his brows violently, even though the originally pale back of his hand was rubbed and turned red.

The little black hand shrank to the side in fear, and leaned over cautiously.

It doesn't really know what just happened.

As soon as Ye Jia stopped, it smelled the breath of a powerful ghost.

Thinking about Ji Xuan's threat last time, the little black hand slipped back into the wall - let the big brothers settle the matter between the big brothers, in order to prevent it from harming the pond fish, it is better to run as fast as possible the better.

Although the little black hand didn't know what happened just now, it was the first time he saw Ye Jia showing such emotion.

It asked cautiously: "What, what's the matter? Are you all right?"

Ye Jia turned off the tap, and wiped his wet hands on the towel.

Hearing this, he lowered his eyes, and slanted towards the little black hand with a murderous gaze.

The little black hand trembled all over, subconsciously sticking it against the wall.

Ye Jia sneered: "I'm fine."

Little Black Hand: "..."

Why doesn't it sound credible at all?

The little black hand squatted on the table with a broken leg, and thought about it seriously for two seconds.

According to the current situation, the king must have unrequited love for ace. Although the little black hand doesn't know what happened, but no matter what, it is still planning to ease their relationship-after all, when gods fight, mortals suffer!

It racked its brains and finally decided to fight in a roundabout way.

The little black hand said, "That... Actually, Wang isn't that bad..."

Ye Jia raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered with coldness: "It's not that bad?!"

Little Black Hand: "..."

silently shrinks.

I seem to have said something wrong, eh.

Ye Jia took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing some violent emotions, then he said through gritted teeth:

"He's just crazy."

It was before, and it is now.

And I haven't seen him for a few years, and he got sicker.

The little black hand is determined to avoid this dangerous topic: "Then... what are you going to do next?"

Ye Jia: "Stay away from psychosis."

Little Black Hand: "..."

How can I answer this!

Ye Jia walked out of the bathroom, and looked around the same room that he was destroyed by the blood gu fish.

Most of the furniture was almost destroyed. Fortunately, the bedroom was independent, and most of the items in it escaped unharmed. Anyway, at least it can barely live.

Ye Jia raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows with some headaches.

The fingertips that had been washed by cold water pressed between his eyebrows, which gradually cooled down his intense emotions just now.

——It has to be said that Ji Xuan's interruption brought him back from the previous trance state in the morgue.

It also made Ye Jia clearly realize that although he really wants to find out the truth about his parents now, after all, that happened decades ago, and most of the clues have been erased. The only link between the murder case and the current situation is the skinned ghost, but it has disappeared for a long time. Ye Jia knew that he had no other choice but to wait.

Moreover, there are more urgent things waiting for him to do now.

According to Ji Xuan's information—if he didn't lie—the mother is still planning a bigger move, and she doesn't plan to stop.

And humanity is now unprepared for that.

Whether it is the information level or the force level, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

If the mother decides to do another Hyakki Night Walk in another city, they will be powerless to resist.

The most urgent task now is to improve the ability of human beings to cope.

Suddenly, Ye Jia seemed to think of something.

He quickly walked towards the bedside table, and opened the cabinet with a missing corner, revealing the prop paper used to communicate with Wu Su inside.

The information above is from two hours ago.

It should be when he went to the morgue that the other party sent him a message requesting a meeting.

Ye Jia sighed silently.

It's about time.

·

pier.

Wu Su hurried here alone.

The sound of waves came from the dark sea, and the sky above was pitch black, with no moon, only a few residual stars dotted the sky.

From a distance, he saw a slender young man standing at the end of the road, waiting quietly. His tall figure was like a silhouette in the night. He looked so quiet and peaceful, unlike the sharp and fierce man last night. Li is not the same, but it is equally reassuring.

Wu Su took a deep breath, and the salty, wet and cold air poured into his chest, but he still couldn't suppress his surging heart.

He stepped forward quickly.

After a brief conversation, Wu Su told Ye Jia about a high-ranking ghost that wanted to cooperate with them: "The higher-ups have agreed to his request and found a special person to connect with him, but I still want to hear from you Views."

Ye Jia was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Be careful."

Although he really didn't want to cooperate with Ji Xuan, and he didn't want to have anything to do with this psychopath, but he had to admit that the other party's proposal was indeed timely for them now.

The people in the administration did not know Ji Xuan's identity, but Ye Jia knew.

As king, he is closer to the heart of the puzzle than all the ghosts.

Therefore, it is very irrational to reject the olive branch extended by the other party now.

Ye Jia asked: "How are you going to deal with the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts in City M in the end?"

Wu Su: "There is no way to hide the existence of supernatural creatures, especially after last night, it seems that the ghosts and monsters all over the country are active, and there are endless supernatural events in various places, basically all the media are reporting, so the above decided to disclose the supernatural The existence of the Administration Bureau, and set up more sub-bureau outposts in various places to deal with supernatural events."

"What about games?" Ye Jia narrowed his eyes.

Wu Su shook his head and sighed: "The higher authorities are not going to make it public."

—Supernatural beings don't exist only in fictional fantasy works.

This incident has overturned the imagination of most ordinary people. People are in panic, residents are in danger, and the whole society is on the verge of turmoil.

So now the government can't even tell the public that there is a mysterious game that has been pulling people in to participate in the terrible death game in the past few decades, and it collapsed a month and a half ago, and all kinds of monsters locked in it Released to cause harm to the world.

"However," Wu Su said, "at least now we can openly recruit people."

He sighed: "All our departments have been operating under overload conditions for more than two months, and what happened last night, we can no longer ignore the shortage of manpower. The way we recruit people simply doesn’t meet our current needs.”

So while announcing the existence of the Occult Administration, the upper echelon also issued a recruitment announcement.

Although it was posted just this afternoon, up to now, the Bureau has received as many applications as snowflakes.

Wu Su added:

"Although until now, a large part of the applicants are occultists and conspiracy theorists, there are quite a few people who seriously want to join. We reviewed the resumes of some people this afternoon, and the interview will start tomorrow. It can start, and when the first batch of personnel is trained, it should relieve some of our current pressure."

Ye Jia nodded thoughtfully.

He handed Wu Su a piece of paper: "When the announcement is made again, you can print this in the corner of the recruitment brochure of City M."

Wu Su took the paper and looked down.

The paper looks extraordinarily white under the starlight, which also makes the lines on it extraordinarily clear even in the dark.

It looks complicated and weird, like some kind of weird characters, and like rose branches entangled with each other, showing a strange and beautiful meaning.

Wu Su recognized that the several corners in the center of those patterns hooked up three variant letters:

ace.

He was shocked all over, and suddenly raised his head to look at Ye Jia: "This, this is...?"

In the game, only the top [-] players on the leaderboard will have a code name.

Once the points are enough, the game will randomly assign corresponding code names to them according to their past performance.Then this code name will appear on the ranking list visible in the whole server, and along with the code name, is a symbol of identity.

This is equivalent to their respective unique personal signatures, and generally speaking no one dares to imitate and embezzle them.

There is a reward system in the game.

Whether it is points or energy, they can be exchanged for currency one-to-one in the game.

Li Gui uses energy to exchange currency, and offers a reward for the player's body or life on the dark list. The game will dynamically settle the price of the reward, and sort the total reward price to summarize the hate list.

Players can also exchange points for currency, post missions on the list, request trades or find teammates.

These two lists are public, which means that if one of the players' signatures is stolen to release information, the ghosts who hope to get the bounty offered on the dark list will follow and follow.

After all, most players with signatures are not low on the hate list.

No one wants to help others bear hatred.

The higher the ranking, the less likely the player is to use his signature to release information, because this is equivalent to exposing his whereabouts.

For so many years in the game, Wu Su has never seen ace's signature.

He is a well-known loner, he never took the initiative to find teammates, and he never posted any information on Mingbang.

In addition, in the game, killing a player can get all the points on him.

Therefore, as ace's position in the standings is getting higher and higher, there are even more players staring at him than ghosts, and no one dares to imitate his signature.

——This is the first time Wu Su has the honor to see the exclusive decoration of ace.

As a player, he is very clear about the meaning behind the opponent's move.

You must know that the higher the score ranking in the game, the longer the player stays, the more independent the temper.

Although there are quite a few players joining the Supernatural Administration with Wu Su, none of them rank high in the standings.

Those real bosses basically kept their names incognito and disappeared.

Therefore, although the recruitment information of the Supernatural Administration has been posted, Wu Su does not expect them to appear. At most, he just hopes that there will be more new forces to deal with the current mountain of chores and some low-level supernatural events— —If they are facing high-level ghosts, they are still extremely weak.

And now, with ace's signature, everything is different.

As the only player who has cleared the game, the appeal of his crest is very scary.

——that is, they might actually be able to pull together a team that has a lot of experience fighting against the monsters in the game.

Wu Su was dizzy from this thought.

He carefully held the piece of paper in his hand, his heart was pounding, and his throat was a little dry: "You..."

Ye Jia interrupted him and said:

"However, you have to think about it."

——After all, this signature attracts more than just players.

It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, waking Wu Su awake.

Ace has been in the game for so many years, and has made countless enemies. Moreover, before the game collapsed, he even offered a bounty to the ghost king Ji Xuan, and successfully reached the top of the hatred list.

He was in a tangle.

Now that the game has crashed, the rivalry between players has gone with it, so it shouldn't matter much on the player side.

However, Li Gui is completely different.

Wu Su is not a ghost after all, so I don't know if Li Gui, who left the game, still recognizes the hate list.

Ye Jia thought for a while: "You don't need to worry about the hate list."

Wu Su breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after that, I only heard the other party say: "The only thing you need to worry about is whether those ghosts who have made enemies with me in the game will come."

Wu Su: "..."

Trembling heart, trembling hands.

Seeing Wu Su's tangled face, Ye Jia said empathetically:

"You don't need to give me an answer now, go back and think about it, and tell me after you make a decision."

After parting with Wu Su, Ye Jia turned around and went to the warehouses he had been to before, and checked them carefully.

Everything in it was emptied, whether it was the water tank holding the monster or the container containing the human skin, everything was moved away.

Even the traces of fighting with that fake blood gu fish were cleaned up.

Obviously, the other party did it by taking advantage of the chaos in the city caused by the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts. They dealt with it very thoroughly, leaving almost no traces. Ye Jia wrote down the numbers of those warehouses, and prepared to deal with them the next time. Go to the bureau to check the following two days.

However, according to the other party's degree of caution in this regard, he doubted whether he could find any information that could be used.

After leaving the pier, Ye Jia returned to his apartment.

He has maintained a high-intensity work for several days in a row.

Although the whole room was still a mess, he didn't have much energy to take care of it.

Ye Jia simply took a shower, and then walked towards his bed which was considered complete.

However, just as he sat on the bed, the little black hand came over and said, "That human has replied."

Ye Jia raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Less than two hours had passed, and the other party had already made a decision?

The little black hand handed over the piece of paper.

"My superiors and I reported your suggestion, and they think it's feasible." Wu Su's voice came from the piece of paper: "After all, there is no tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den. If you don't mobilize all possible forces, human beings cannot Resisting the monsters in the game, and the mother who is staring at the world... Although it is very risky, it is a pity that we have no choice."

Ye Jia asked: "Then I am now your non-staff employee?"

Wu Su was taken aback: "...it should be counted."

Ye Jia smiled and said, "Then let's talk about remuneration." Ji Xuan's extra income is probably useless, and he really doesn't want to go through the days of working double jobs for free.

Wu Su: "..."

???

Topics change too quickly like a tornado.

·

After finishing Wu Su's discussion, the piece of paper burned automatically in his palm, and the bright red flame reflected the young man's eyes, like a golden red butterfly fluttering its wings.

The flames gradually died out.

The room became gloomy again, and a faint dark blue appeared on the edge of the black sky outside the window, signaling the arrival of dawn.

Gray-blue light shone in from the window, making the small bedroom hazy.

Ye Jia lowered his eyes, he slapped the ashes from his palm, and then sighed slowly.

Now that Wu Su agreed to his suggestion, he had to deal with the issue of the hate list.

He already has quite a few enemies, if there are more ghosts attracted by profit to City M, it will be difficult for them to deal with such a huge group of ghosts.

——Just now he said he should stay away from psychopathy, but it turned out that less than half the night had passed before he had to break his vow.

The scene of the previous confrontation in the corridor flashed in his mind, and Ye Jia felt his head began to hurt.

Why don't we talk about it in two days?

Anyway, Wu Su will not issue the second batch of announcements immediately.

Moreover, he is really sleepy now.

Ye Jia yawned, blinked his eyes that had become hazy due to sleepiness, and then fell backwards, throwing himself into the bed.

In the next second—only a "click" sound was heard, and the four feet of the entire bed broke under the burden.

The bed board hit the ground with a bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ye Jia lay in the ruins, looking at the ceiling calmly.

The sleepiness has long since disappeared without a trace.

——Now he has a second reason to look for Ji Xuan.
