After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

Ye Jia got up from the ground with a gloomy face.

Looking around, his entire apartment seemed to be swept by a storm. From the bedroom, the living room, to the kitchen, everything was in a mess, only the bathroom escaped.

Basically... the possibility of re-living people is very small.

Ye Jia sighed and rubbed the center of his brows with a headache.

He stepped over the fragments of furniture on the ground, walked to the entrance, and stretched out his hand to open the door——

A small figure stepped in.

He had apparently been sitting against the door the entire time, and as soon as the support on his back disappeared, he lost his balance and fell into the door.

The boy lay on the ground, blinked his scarlet eyes, looked at the shocked face of the young man above his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "...good morning."

Ye Jia: "..."

Head hurts again.

He took a deep breath: "How long have you been here?"

Ji Xuan got up from the ground, he shook his head, he looked very well-behaved and sensible, even a little pathetic:

"It won't be long."

Ye Jia tightened his fingers on the doorknob.

Pretend, you pretend for me.

He raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on the ground beside Ji Xuan.

Neatly placed on the ground are two boxes of biscuits, an apple, two bottles of milk, and a large box of juice.

Ye Jia was stunned:

"...where did it come from?"

Ji Xuan followed Ye Jia's gaze and looked over: "Oh, these."

He was thoughtful: "It was given by the neighbor."

During the time he was sitting here, someone always passed by and asked him distressedly why he was sitting here alone.

The thin boy leaned against the tightly closed door and sat quietly in the corridor. His dark eyes were big and bright, his face was clean and beautiful, and his voice was still childish, and he looked sensible. Poor again: "Mom kicked me out, I came to live with my brother."

——In a sense, he didn't lie.

"Did he not let you in?" The neighbor felt even more distressed.

"It's not like that," the boy sighed in frustration, and shook his head: "It's all my fault. I did something wrong, and I'm waiting for my brother to calm down."

"Then you can't keep children out of the house! Especially in this world," the neighbor said angrily, "This grown-up is too irresponsible."

He asked kindly, "Do you want to come into my house and wait?"

The boy pursed his lips and smiled: "No."

After discovering that the other party was determined, the neighbor had no choice but to give up and forcefully stuffed him with a lot of snacks.

Every time a person passes by, such a conversation always happens once.

So there are more and more snacks around him.

Ji Xuan said thoughtfully: "Human beings are so passionate."

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

He seemed to have guessed what happened.

Now I have a high probability of social death.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You are addicted to pretending to be a child, aren't you?"

Ji Xuan took a step into the room.

Under the faint morning light and the dim light of the corridor, the small shadow on the ground instantly elongated.

The tall man lowered his eyes, his deep and cold eyebrows looked like sculptures under the intertwined light of light and dark, his scarlet and gloomy eyes were half hidden under the long eyelashes, staring intently at the young man in front of him: "Then... Do you like me better?"

His voice was very low, with a hoarse smile in his deep voice: "Brother?"

The distance between the two of them shortened in an instant, and the aggressive aura of the adult male spread unreservedly, and the tip of their noses almost touched.

Ye Jia choked for breath, took a step back suddenly, and opened the distance between the two.

The light-colored pupils shone with cold hostility in the dark.

Looking at the young man who was immediately scared away, Ji Xuan sighed with some regret.

He clearly knows that he is alone in the state of adulthood and childhood, and he has always said that he will not soften his heart, but he is always unable to harden his heart towards children.

My brother always looks like this...it's really cute.

——Since this is the case, you can't blame him for taking advantage of this aspect.

Ye Jia said coldly: "No matter what it looks like, it has nothing to do with me."

Ji Xuan smiled and nodded: "I understand."

Weird.

Ye Jia cautiously glanced at the man in front of him, took another half step back, and kept a certain safe distance from him, then asked slowly:

"What is the real reason why you cooperate with humans?"

Ji Xuan frowned hurtfully:

"Brother, how can you not believe me? Everything I said in the bureau is the truth."

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him cautiously, and did not answer.

But his body language was all answering Ji Xuan's question - yes, he did not believe him at all.

"Okay." Ji Xuan restrained the playful expression on his face, and became serious: "I know I can't make you believe me now, but our purpose is the same at least at this stage."

He hooked his lips casually, and a gloomy coldness flashed in the depths of his scarlet eyes:

"After all, with her here, I, as a king, will not be safe."

An unshakable authority is on his head, and he always provokes other S-level ghosts to challenge his rule. After a long time, it is indeed tiresome.

This reason seemed to convince Ye Jia.

After staring at Ji Xuan for a few seconds, he finally let go: "...Okay."

"But I need to see your sincerity in cooperation." Ye Jia said, "My reward order is still on the hate list..."

Before he finished his words, Ji Xuan immediately expressed his attitude: "I will remove it right now."

——At least tonight's goal has been achieved.

Ye Jia wanted to close the door.

But he found that, without knowing when, the other party had already stepped into the threshold of his own house and walked into the porch.

Ye Jia: "..."

Mistake.

Ji Xuan took another step slowly: "Then...brother, should you show some sincerity from time to time?"

Ye Jia's muscles tensed up immediately.

His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth: "What do you want?"

Ji Xuan smiled briefly, "Don't be so nervous."

A scarlet gap opened in the space around him, and a piece of paper fell lightly in his palm.

He handed the paper to Ye Jia:

"I just want you to be my designated contact person in the bureau."

Ye Jia glanced at the above content.

He just took a quick glance last night, and didn't have time to see clearly—this is indeed a direct order from the management authority's senior management, and there is no forgery.

"Your superior should have informed you about this today." Ji Xuan looked down at Ye Jia and said in a low voice, "I just want to share this news with you in advance...Brother."

Ye Jia glanced at him coldly, obviously he didn't listen to him:

"Okay, what else?"

Ji Xuan sighed silently in his heart.

——Sure enough, this trick is easy to use when pretending to be a child.

He said without changing his face: "From today onwards, I should contact you in the state of my previous juvenile body."

Ye Jia frowned: "Why?"

"Humans don't know what I look like now, but ghosts and monsters are different." Ji Xuan said lightly, "...you don't want your current identity to be exposed, do you?"

He knew that in a sense, Ye Jia was a very predictable person.

Although the current series of events have brought him back into the center of the vortex, he still longs to return to a peaceful and stable real life after everything is over. status as an ordinary member of the Ministry.

Therefore, even though he walked in front of people as an ace and participated in the war, he still hid his existence as "Ye Jia" deeply.

Ji Xuan liked this feeling very much.

In this world, he is the only one who can occupy the two worlds of his brother.

The thought filled him with immense satisfaction.

——So, Ji Xuan was sure that he would not refuse his proposal.

He added another fire: "And, starting today, you are my only contact person, so I will never appear in front of your colleagues in the administration, and they will never know my existence. "

Sure enough, Ye Jia fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he nodded: "...Okay."

The smile on Ji Xuan's lips deepened.

He stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation."

Ye Jia glanced at him coldly, stretched out his hand and shook the other's dangling palm, with the emphasis on the first two words: "For the time being, happy cooperation."

Before he could pull his hand away, he felt the palm in his hand shrinking rapidly.

Ye Jia was stunned for a moment, forgetting to let go of his hand.

The young man in front of him stretched out his other hand, squinted his eyes and smiled, and grasped his wrist tightly, shaking it gently:

"—not bad in the long run."

Ye Jia broke free from his hand as if being scalded, frowning tightly.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but remembering what he had just agreed to, he swallowed the words abruptly.

Ji Xuan didn't seem to notice.

He looked around at the almost rotten room in front of him, and raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"What happened to your room?"

Ye Jia followed his line of sight and looked over.

He seemed to have just remembered the incident in his room, his expression darkened instantly, and he said through gritted teeth, "... your fish did a good job."

oh?And such a good thing?

Ji Xuan's eyes lit up.

He concealed his joy tightly, with a look of guilt and regret on his face: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Ye Jia frowned and looked at him warily.

Ji Xuan said: "I have several properties under my name, you can see where you want to live..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jia interrupted him without hesitation:

"No, just lose money."

Ji Xuan pushed the boat forward and nodded: "Of course, the money must be paid."

He changed the subject: "But, before your room is finished, you have to find a place to live, right?"

Ye Jia: "...I live in a hotel."

"If you don't want me to disturb you, I won't take half a step." A smile flashed in Ji Xuan's eyes: "What's the difference between staying in a hotel and staying at my place?"

The difference is huge.

Ye Jia didn't want to get involved in any private life with him, the farther away from him the better - living in any property under Ji Xuan's name would run counter to his original intention.

He shook his head resolutely: "No, thank you."

Ji Xuan was kind and seductive: "You can monitor me at a close distance."

Ye Jia smiled, but there was not much joy in his eyes: "If this kind of place still needs me to monitor, I don't think there is any need for this cooperation to continue."

Although it was still a pity, Ji Xuan stopped persuading in moderation.

He has achieved his original goal tonight, if he gets too close, it may be too much.

"Okay then." Ji Xuan looked around at the apartment in front of him that seemed to have been destroyed by the strong wind, and said, "I will be responsible for finding someone to repair your room—after all, this is also my fault, and you should not refuse?"

Ye Jia thought for a while, and reluctantly replied: "... yes."

It can be regarded as taking a step back and reaching a consensus.

He threw the key to Ji Xuan: "As soon as possible."

Ji Xuan's smile deepened: "Of course."

·

Ye Jia packed up some of his personal items and moved into a hotel not far away.

Sure enough, the next day, the higher-ups issued a relevant order to make him the designated contact person of "a certain high-level ghost who is willing to cooperate". The two of them know that there is another high-level ghost that is willing to cooperate, and only Ye Jia has the authority to contact the other party.

Inside the box was another new phone.

Ye Jia took it in his hand and played with it a bit.

Even if he doesn't know much about modern technology, he can tell that this mobile phone is much more advanced and more confidential than the one Liu Zhaocheng gave him before.

But Ye Jia still felt that it was a bit ridiculous-using a mobile phone to contact Li Gui, this kind of thing was impossible for him to imagine ten years ago.

There is only one contact in the phone.

The opponent's profile picture is a q version of the god of death holding a sickle, which looks very cute.

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes, suspecting that the other party meant something.

While he was staring at his phone, the other party's message popped up:

It was a bouncing, joyful emoji of a villain.

Ye Jia: "..."

His hands are itchy.

The fingertips stayed on the pull black key for a few seconds, and finally dedication prevailed—for work, forget it.

He turned off the phone screen and threw it aside.

the other side.

Ji Xuan looked down at the lit phone screen in his hand, and the upward arc of his mouth could not be suppressed.

Although there was no response from the other party's dialog box from beginning to end, he was sure that the other party had seen his message.

Ji Xuan glanced at the book he regarded as garbage.

One of them came into view - "to get the contact information of the other party".

Not only that, but he will be the only contact on the other party's phone.

This satisfied a certain deeply repressed desire for exclusiveness in his heart.

Ji Xuan smiled happily and put away the phone.

At the door, Shadow Ghost, who sneaked in with his head in, gasped in fright, and hurriedly retreated out in a panic.

Several other high-ranking ghosts surrounded it, lowered their voices, and asked cautiously, "How is it?"

Shadow Ghost shook his head in a trance: "...the situation is very bad."

After the king killed the leader of the opponent, the rest of the monsters turned to dust, and the war was over.

But Wang became strange.

Not only has the bounty on ace been withdrawn, but it's actually... actually...

With a heavy face, Ami said slowly:

"I... I just saw that Wang was smiling at the phone screen."

The other ghosts gasped in shock: "What, what?!"

"I suspect that the king may be cursed..."

Before Ami could finish her words, she felt a chill behind her.

It turned its head slowly.

The door at the back was open, and the blood gu fish appeared behind them, staring at the group of ghosts in front of them with a pair of dark eye sockets.

In the distance, Ji Xuan was sitting on the throne, narrowing his blood-colored eyes slightly, and asked slowly:

"free?"

All the ghosts trembled: "...King!"

Ji Xuan hooked his lips: "Then I'll find something for you to do."

So, after being forced to play the game with the blood gu fish for an hour, all the ghosts wanted to cry, especially Ami, who was under intensive care, collapsed on the ground exhausted and out of breath.

It's that they are so naive.

Sure enough, the king is still the moody and terrifying ghost king... It is impossible for the cursed thing to exist!

·

After the first batch of recruiting brochures were sent out, the Supernatural Management Bureau quickly added a lot of fresh blood. Although the follow-up work left by the previous Hundred Ghosts Night Walk had not been completed, it also greatly shared the pressure of the original employees.

Even compared to before the incident came to light, their workload has been reduced a bit.

The old employees in the logistics department basically have new tasks now, Ye Jia is now doing odd jobs in the newcomer training department, Zhao Dong stays in the logistics department to handle the remaining affairs, and Cheng Cezhi is assigned to the human resources department to interview newcomers.

Although the outside world was turbulent, but in the following week, Ye Jia's life was extremely fulfilling and peaceful. He went to the management office from the hotel to work every day, and sometimes brought some new employees to the field.

During this period of time, although Ye Jia never responded to any news from Ji Xuan, the other party still enjoyed it and harassed him online every day—fortunately, this kind of harassment was only maintained online. Xuan's influence is also great. After directly disobeying his mother's order, he will probably be busy for a long time.

It wasn't until City M sent out the second batch of recruiting brochures.

——The content is the same as last time, except that there is a very light printed pattern at the end, which can hardly be seen if you don't look carefully.

The rose branches intertwine into weird and beautiful patterns, outlining the variants of the three letters ace.

On the day it was sent out, everything was uneventful, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

But where no one can see, an undercurrent begins to surge, and uneasy whispers spread underground.

And in the center of that vortex is a small city—M City.

As the night fell, the sky in the distance was shrouded in thick darkness, and the stars and moonlight were slowly swallowed.

Ye Jia was walking on the way to get off work, and suddenly stopped.

He raised his head, looking thoughtfully at the sky.

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang twice, Ye Jia took out the mobile phone, and saw that the message on it was from Cheng Cezhi.

That's a bunch of addresses and nothing else.

strangeness.

Ye Jia frowned.

He knew this place, it was close to the outskirts, almost deserted at night, few people would go there - what did Cheng Cezhi send him this address for?

·

An abandoned factory in m city.

A strong cloudy air flows in the dark night sky. Compared with other places, the temperature here is much lower. A faint sense of ominousness permeates from the dark door and window frames, which makes people feel fear and panic instinctively. .

The originally empty factory was now filled with jet-black hair, slowly flowing and wriggling like an ocean.

Cheng Cezhi struggled in his waist-deep thick black hair, but he seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move an inch no matter what, the hair seemed to be alive, tightly wrapped around his hands and feet, making him unable to move. Wriggling like a bug.

"Where is Ace?" A thin, sinister voice came out from the hair that covered the sky and asked softly.

Cheng Cezhi was about to cry: "I really don't know the ace you mentioned!!!"

He left a little late today, so he took a shortcut, but unexpectedly, he was hijacked halfway.

This is a b-level ghost. As a support member, he has no power to fight back.

So, not only was he tied up in this dark and gloomy place, but he was also kept asking where a person he didn't know at all was...

To whomever does not collapse!

"You are lying!!!!" The voice suddenly became louder, and the sinister meaning became deeper and stronger: "I saw it, that is his signature, there is no mistake...it came from you , you know where he is..."

"It's okay, if you know him...he will come...hehehehe..."

outside the warehouse.

Four or five people looked at each other.

Zhao Dong broke the silence: "You also received this address?"

Wu Su nodded, and turned the screen of the mobile phone to Zhao Dong, and the address displayed on it was the address here.

He is now in charge of the recruiting department, and Cheng Cezhi is his subordinate.

"I contacted his family and said he wasn't home tonight," he said.

In fact, this is not the only reason why he appeared. After all, Wu Su is also working in the combat department, which is the busiest at the same time. It is difficult to trouble him to run for such a trivial matter as an employee suddenly sending him an inexplicable address. one trip.

After that announcement, however, everything changed.

Because the recruiting department will definitely be the first department to be targeted.

Therefore, from that time on, Wu Su began to pay more attention to the movement of all the employees in the new office, and allocated more props that could protect themselves.

But obviously, accidents cannot be stopped.

"Don't worry," Wu Su tugged at his beard, and said anxiously, "I've already contacted other members of the Combat Division when I set off, and the team should arrive soon."

Ye Jia stood in the dark and did not show up directly.

He raised his head, looked at the factory beside him, and sniffed the night wind - he was very familiar with the smell coming out of it.

Coincidentally, that ghost...is the boss in the dungeon he and Ji Xuan met.

Although the level is not high, it is a bit difficult to deal with.

Ye Jia was not sure if the members of the Combat Division could handle it.

He was hesitating whether to find an excuse to leave and go in to save people by himself.

But at this moment, he was slightly taken aback.

The smell in the factory... changed.

·

Ten minutes later, fully armed members of the Combat Division arrived at the scene, but before they could deploy the combat plan, the factory gate was slowly opened from the inside.

Cheng Cezhi grinned, and limped out.

A girl walked out with his arm.

Wu Su was taken aback: "You..."

The girl grinned at him: "The ghost inside has run away, you can chase it, but I doubt if you can catch it."

Wu Su's eyes widened: "You are...!!"

The girl nodded generously: "Hi, I'm maid."

Ranked 15th in the standings, maid.

She frowned somewhat annoyedly, turned her head to look at Cheng Cezhi who was standing beside her, and complained, "I wanted to tie him up too, but obviously the ghost got there first..."

Cheng Cezhi: "???"

why?

Why? ? ? ?

As if seeing through his collapse, the girl smiled and said, "Because you are the weakest in the entire department."

Cheng Cezhi: "..."

It's ok, it's annoying to talk too much.

Together with the medical staff waiting behind, Zhao Dong helped Cheng Cezhi to leave.

The girl's eyes fell on Wu Su, and she smiled slightly: "Since you have recognized me, then I don't need to hide my purpose—where is ace?"

Wu Su was already ready.

He took a deep breath and asked slowly, "What is your purpose of looking for him?"

A shy expression appeared on the girl's face, she tapped the ground with her toes, and said:

"Confession."

Ye Jia in the distance: "..."

——Since Cheng Cezhi is safe now, he is not needed here for the time being.

He turned around, ready to leave.

Suddenly, Ye Jia felt a familiar aura appear beside him.

A cold bloody smell diffused from the torn ghost creature.

Ye Jia's back froze immediately.

The boy's soft and hoarse voice broke the silence, and asked peacefully:

"Brother, who is she?"
