After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

Ye Jia stared intently at the box opened in front of him.

The blood was thick and viscous, and the two eyeballs were sinking and floating in it, reflecting the faint light in the dim room, as if they were still alive, turning slightly in the blood, as if they were quietly looking back from the darkness.

In the darkness, Ye Jia and those eyes looked at each other.

It seemed to want to say something, but remained silent.

He sorted out that guess over and over again in his mind, comparing it with every clue he had gotten so far.

The more you think about it, the more shocking correspondences you get.

Ye Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light amber eyes reflected a light color of blood, like a ray of blood sinking into the bottom of the lake.

Although the game crashed and the door to hell was wide open, but for some reason, my mother couldn't leave the game.

The King of Ghosts is the representative of the mother in the world, while the other high-ranking ghosts want to find her body parts—from the human leather clothes in M ​​City, to the missing heart in the woman's chest, to the body in front of her. Eyeballs.

There must be very strict restrictions on the organs to be collected, otherwise, with the means of those ghosts, it is impossible for the mother to have not collected them all by now.

And now, the most critical question is...

How much does a mother need?And how far have those ghosts progressed?How close is it to completion?

——Humans, how much time is left?

Ye Jia's brows were tightly frowned, and his heart was in a mess.

The fingers hanging by his side tightened slightly, the pale fingertips were blushing due to the force, and the neatly trimmed and smooth nails left crescent-like finger marks in the palm.

Suddenly, a cold touch fell gently on the back of the young man's hand.

It was like snowflakes falling silently, gently kissing the warm skin.

Ye Jia was startled, and turned to look beside him.

Ji Xuan did not know when he came to his side and stood side by side with him, his red pupils drooping slightly, but his eyes did not fall on the eyeballs floating in the pool of blood not far away.

He gently held Ye Jia's hand, and carefully spread out the young man's tightly clenched fingers. The pale and cold fingertips brushed against the pinch marks in his palm, like a passing breeze.

The young man's fingertips trembled slightly.

Ye Jia retracted his hand instinctively, but he didn't break free from the shackles of the opponent's fingers.

Ji Xuan raised his eyes, a pair of dark and deep scarlet eyes fixedly looked at Ye Jia, the blood-colored pupils were flowing and undulating silently in the darkness, like a deep river of blood surging in the abyss, his voice was deep and deep , with a hint of cold dumbness:

"Brother, do you know? You have a talent that you never realized."

He stretched out his hand, and gently touched the young man's thin and warm eyelids with his fingertips.

Ye Jia was forced to close his eyes.

"You can always see the key." In the boundless darkness, the man's hoarse voice was close at hand: "Ignore the confusion of all irrelevant interference items, and accurately find the most critical clues, the source of the problem - every time, Every copy is like this."

Ye Jia was slightly taken aback.

He felt that the other party's fingers that landed on his eyelids were gently withdrawn.

Ye Jia opened his eyes.

The tall man in front of him lowered his head, pressed a cold kiss on his open palm, and raised his eyes to look at him, with a faint smile on his thin and sharp lips:

"If you can't solve this mystery, then no one in this world can."

Ye Jia stared fixedly at the man in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, with an inexplicable expression in his eyes.

Ignoring all distractions... huh?

He was startled.

Ye Jia's eyes widened bit by bit, and then he grabbed Ji Xuan's wrist with his backhand, his light-colored pupils shone with a compelling light, like a sharp blade piercing the darkness, as cold and bright as a shock. Frightened, seemingly excited, his breath was a little unsteady, and he said word by word:

"Quick, we're going back to City M."

·

On the train.

Chen Qingye, Wei Yuechu, and BLAST sat across from Ye Jia, and they all had the same doubts on their faces.

The slight impact and vibration of the train moving forward echoed in the dead carriage, making people drowsy, the entire carriage was empty, and there was no one else except them.

Chen Qingye frowned, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked:

"Why are you going back?"

Wei Yuechu was also puzzled:

"If things are really as you guessed, the ghosts and the mothers of the monsters are collecting bodies that can bring them back to the human world, then shouldn't we press the whereabouts of other high-level ghosts and disrupt their plans now? , so that they can't complete the task at all? What's the use of us going back to M City?"

There was no expression on Ye Jia's face, his gaze was fixed on the table in front of him, as if he was studying the winding lines above.

When he heard Wei Yue's question, he raised his eyes.

Ye Jia said:

"Do you still remember the skinning case that was rampant in M ​​City?"

The three nodded.

Ye Jia continued: "I remember, I told you just now, I saw a container full of victims' leather clothes at the port of City M."

The three nodded again.

Ye Jia tapped the table in front of him lightly with his fingertips, making a regular aggressive sound, and said:

"Not one piece, but a box."

Chen Qingye was startled: "You mean...?"

"Yes." Ye Jia nodded:

"Although there must be strict restrictions on the organs that can be used as the mother's body, they are definitely not unique. This time, although we intercepted the pair of eyeballs, the mother can send other ghosts to find the same qualified organs. If we follow a Tracing the path city by city, we will always be several steps behind.”

The expressions of the other three gradually became serious.

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly: "If we want to go ahead of them, we must find the key."

——Just like what Ji Xuan reminded him that night.

So, where is the key point?

That rainy night 30 years ago.

That was the only trace of "mother" that had appeared in the world before the gate of hell opened.

Ye Jia raised his eyes to look at the three people in front of him, and said: "I checked the police records, the serial murder case of peeling human skin only appeared in M ​​city, and the case of heart disappearance also appeared after the night walk of the ghosts. City M, even..." His voice paused slightly, but he continued naturally: "Even the city where the ghost king Ji Xuan appeared is here."

He tapped the unconsciously drawn map on the table with his fingertips stained with clear water, and said softly:

"Although we don't know the reason yet, City M must be in the center of the storm."

Ye Jia's words were to the point, and the three people in front of them couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, BLAST said: "So..."

The others turned to look at him.

"Why on earth did he follow?!"

The red-haired young man was expressionless, and he was pointing towards the distance - he saw a tall and straight man standing at the junction of the carriage and the carriage, and his scarlet eyes had already been transformed into night-like eyes. He held a cup between his dark, pale and slender fingers, and was drinking hot water at the moment.

Chen Qingye and Wei Yuechu: "..."

I know that you kid will definitely not be able to ask any in-depth questions.

but--

In fact, they are also curious about the answer to this question.

The two turned their heads to look at Ye Jia at the same time.

At this moment, Wei Yuechu seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "By the way, at the abandoned construction site that night, you said you could explain, what did you want to explain?"

Ye Jia: "..."

Chen Qingye nodded: "Now we are free, you can talk."

Ye Jia: "..."

Ah, is this what it feels like to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot?

At this moment, Ji Xuan had returned with a cup of steaming hot water, and he naturally sat down beside Ye Jia, with his two long legs overlapping each other, and the space suddenly became cramped.

Almost instantly, the white steam in the cup decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, from scalding hot water to lukewarm water that was suitable for drinking directly.

With a natural attitude, Ji Xuan pushed the water cup in front of Ye Jia:

"Thirsty?"

The three people on the opposite side were dumbfounded.

They looked at the terrifying and approachable ghost king in front of them, then at the cup of moderately hot water, and then at Ye Jia with a stiff expression. The three pairs of eyes radiated a strong desire to gossip and curiosity.

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

You are not helping at all! ! !

He took a deep breath and said dryly, "It's a long story..."

"It's okay, we have plenty of time." Wei Yue replied calmly.

Ji Xuan chuckled lightly: "Oh, so you were talking about this."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a malicious smile appeared on his lips: "We've known each other much longer than you."

The three people in front of them were shocked at the same time.

what?

"The relationship is... quite complicated."

The man's voice was deep and hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible ambiguity. His pale fingers gently hooked the loose collar and pulled it down, revealing the clear collarbone:

"Would you like to see the marks my brother left on me?"

Everyone: "!!!!!!"

Fuck! ? ?

Big melon! ! !Shocking big melon! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Ye Jia bent his elbow expressionlessly, and then gave a merciless and fierce elbow to the fragile waist and abdomen of the man beside him.

Ji Xuan arched his body, bared his teeth and gasped:

"...is it so ruthless?"

Ye Jia raised his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him. They were all stunned by the huge amount of information, their minds were blank, and they were staring at the two of them in a daze, as if jumping back and forth on the verge of disbelief and the collapse of their worldview .

Ye Jia had a headache, he raised his hand, rubbed his throbbing forehead, and said:

"Okay... Anyway, this is the kid who has been following me in the game."

Wei Yue was taken aback.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed at the casually smiling man in front of her with trembling fingers: "You, you, you..."

No way? !

The cute little boy they saw under the Dream Maker Building... is actually Ji Xuan? !

Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows, opened and closed his thin lips, but what came out of his mouth was a slightly hoarse and childish voice:

"What? You don't remember me? I'm so sad."

Wei Yue's pupils trembled: "!!!"

Her hairs stood on end in an instant, and goose bumps all over her body.

Fuck, this guy is too creepy! ! ! !

She turned her head slowly, looked at Ye Jia, and said dryly: "Then...he said he made you angry, does he mean...??"

"Oh, this one."

Ji Xuan leaned back on the chair relaxedly, with a casual smile in his dark eyes: "I wanted to kill him at that time."

Everyone: "!?"

Ye Jia's face was the same: "Yes, he still wants to turn me into a ghost."

Everyone: "??!!"

etc?What is this unfolding?

Ji Xuan hooked the neckline with his fingertips and pulled it down, revealing the hideous and terrifying scars on his pale chest, and his voice sounded regretful: "So I was taught a lesson."

Everyone: "………………"

All of them had blank expressions, and for a moment they didn't know how to deal with such an unpredictable-strange relationship in front of them.

Ji Xuan seemed to think of something suddenly, and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm still his..."

--girlfriend.

Ye Jia lifted his foot expressionlessly, stepped on the opponent's foot hard, and even crushed him mercilessly.

At this moment, the speed of the train slowed down, and the sound of mechanical friction and shaking also decreased.

Ye Jia lifted the curtain and glanced out: "It's the stop."

He stood up, slowly stepped over the man's lap in front of him, and said calmly: "Get ready, we should go."

Only the three people who were eager to see through their eyes and thirsty for knowledge were left behind——

etc!what is it?What is it!

Is Ji Xuan still his?

The man in front of him smiled at them, and the next second, before they could react, the tall and imposing ghost king was replaced by a slender boy with dark pupils.

He jumped down from his seat, and quickly chased after Ye Jia in the direction where Ye Jia disappeared:

"Brother, wait for me!"

Chen Qingye: "..."

Wei Yuechu: "..."

BLAST: "..."

I don't know who broke the silence first: "Do you think it's a bit creepy?"

"……Have."

"Very."

·

Outside the train station.

Due to his busy business, Wu Su did not come to pick them up, but sent other people to come.

Cheng Cezhi poked his head out of the car, waved vigorously at the people in front of him, with a bright smile on his face: "Here!!"

He was slightly taken aback, looked at the little boy who was closely following Ye Jia, and asked, "Hey, who is this?"

Ye Jia seemed to remember just now, he glanced down at Ji Xuan, and then said without changing his face: "Oh, a child from a friend's house, come to M City to stay for a few days."

"..." The expressions of the other three were slightly distorted.

The veins on BLAST's forehead twitched.

You don't even have to blink an eye to lie, it's you, scumbag!

"Oh! Hello, kid!" The smile on Cheng Cezhi's face became more enthusiastic. He ignored the weirder expressions of the other three, bent down and took out a few candies from the storage box in his car, and handed them Passed over: "Eat candy?"

Ji Xuan: "..."

Ye Jia glanced at him coolly: "Why don't you answer?"

The corner of Ji Xuan's mouth twitched, and he reached out to take the candy.

Ye Jia: "Don't say thank you?"

Ji Xuan took a deep breath and said with difficulty:

"……thanks."

Cheng Cezhi smiled brightly: "Oh, why are you being polite, just call me Brother Cheng from now on..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jia reached out and picked up Ji Xuan's collar, threw him into the car, pointed to the long queue behind the car calmly, and said, "It's not early. Come on, don't block the road here."

"Oh yes!" Cheng Cezhi quickly started the car as if waking up from a dream.

inside the carriage.

Ji Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the young man sitting beside him.

From his angle, he could only see the man's cold jaw line and slightly pursed lips, making him look very indifferent and unkind.

The smile on Ji Xuan's lips deepened.

He peeled off one of the candies, put it in his mouth, then stretched out his hand, and quietly hooked the other's little finger.

For the first time, the opponent broke free.

Same for the second time.

……

I don't know how many times, Ye Jia was too lazy to argue with him, so he let Ji Xuan's sneaky tricks go.

Ji Xuan made an inch of progress, from one finger to two fingers, and finally grabbed the opponent's entire hand.

He raised his eyes and looked at the young man's expressionless face again. The candy melted slowly in his cold mouth, but a sense of melting sweetness still spread slowly from the hard candy, spreading from the tip of his tongue little by little When it opened, it seemed that his hollow body, which was a ghost, was also tainted with a sweet smell.

Ji Xuan pursed his lips in satisfaction, and stopped moving.

Soon, the car stopped at the downstairs of the Occult Administration Bureau, and five people, including four, one, and one, got out of the car one after another.

Cheng Cezhi poked his head out and said, "Go up first, I'm going to stop the car!"

Ye Jia looked at the three people in front of him and said: "What we are looking for now is how the mother screened her organs. Only in this way can we deduce her next move."

He looked at Chen Qingye: "Can you investigate all the victims of the skinning incident?"

Chen Qingye nodded: "Of course."

Ye Jia looked at Wei Yueyue: "Just go and look at the case of killing his wife."

"it is good."

"As for you..." Ye Jia looked at BLAST, seemingly hesitant: "You and Chen Qingye act together, how about it?"

BLAST frowned: "Hey, what do you mean! Why did you hesitate?! Are you looking down on me?"

He was so angry that he was ready to roll up his sleeves to fight Ye Jia.

"No, no, it's just that there are so many people involved in the skinning case, I'm worried that without your help, Chen Qingye won't be able to handle it alone..." Ye Jia made it up without changing his face.

BLAST looked at him suspiciously: "Seriously?"

Ye Jia nodded: "Seriously."

"That's about the same." Although BLAST still had a straight face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly uncontrollably.

"Okay, okay, let's go to work!" He dragged Chen Qingye into the gate of the management office, and while walking, he punched him with his elbow: "Hey, did you hear that, ACE said that I... ..."

The backs and voices of the two became farther and farther away until they could no longer be heard.

Ye Jia: "..."

It's really coaxing.

Wei Yue who stayed behind turned to look at Ye Jia and asked, "What about you?"

Ye Jia raised his hand and showed her the iron box in his hand: "I'll go to the forensic doctor to see if I can identify this person."

"Why didn't you appraise it in the capital?" Wei Yue was a little puzzled.

Ye Jia paused for a moment, but he still didn't express his doubts about the headquarters of the Administration Bureau. He smiled slightly: "After all, City M is the key."

That's why I had to rush back as soon as possible.

Wei Yuechu nodded: "Oh, that's right."

She waved at Ye Jia: "I wish you success!"

Ye Jia turned his head to look at Ji Xuan who was at the side, and raised his eyebrows: "Do you still want to maintain this state?"

Ji Xuan sighed with some regret, and returned to the appearance of an adult man.

Ye Jia shook off the opponent's hand expressionlessly, and ordered lightly:

"Let's go."

Ji Xuan lowered his head, glanced at his empty palm, and sighed again.

He knew it.

Once it gets bigger, the previous benefits disappear without a trace, damn it.

Ye Jia went to the forensic doctor first. He showed the passport of the Supernatural Administration, then gave the other party his eyeballs, and simply told them to contact him as soon as they got the results.

However, after doing this, he didn't leave.

"Excuse me, if I want to check the forensic report of a certain case 30 years ago, where should I go?" Ye Jia stopped the other party and asked.

"30 years ago?" The other party was taken aback: "It's so long ago, I'm afraid it hasn't been entered into the electronic system, why don't you go to the paper data room to look for it?"

Under the guidance of the other party, Ye Jia came to the reference room.

It was dimly lit and smelled of old paper.

He walked slowly along the corridor between the shelves, his eyes sweeping over the strange dates.

Suddenly, Ye Jia's pace stopped abruptly.

His eyes fell on the top shelf not far away—the date was written on the spine of one of the volumes of materials in slightly blurred ink marks:

19xx, September [-]th.

A date he'll never forget.

Ye Jia pursed his lips slightly, raised his hand and took down the thick pile of dusty documents.

He flipped through the information, looking backward page by page, but he didn't see the familiar name.

how come……?

Ye Jia frowned, and looked through it carefully again.

Indeed not.

—A few pages are missing.

And those pages happened to include the autopsy records of his father and mother.

Ye Jia's eyes narrowed slightly.

He found the duty record during this period from another shelf, and his eyes paused for a few seconds on a very familiar forensic doctor's name.

Ye Jia secretly wrote down the address registered by the other party, and then reinserted the information back to the original location.

He said to Ji Xuan who was waiting at the door of the reference room: "Let's go."

·

In front of me is an old residential building, which seems to have a sense of time. The old brick walls are covered with green moss, and various sheets and quilts are hung on the open space outside.

The tall and straight young man stood under the building, looked up at the residential building in front of him, and then walked inward.

The hallway was dimly lit, filled with the smell of dust and meals.

Ye Jia stopped outside one of the doors, he paused, his eyes stayed on the mottled and faded 303 on the door for a few seconds, then he curled his fingers and knocked lightly.

There was the sound of shambling footsteps behind the door, and the sound of things being moved on the ground.

An old voice sounded: "Come here..."

The sound of the metal lock being opened was very clear in the dead corridor. The old door panel was pulled open in front of it, revealing the wrinkled face of an old woman. She looked really old, and every groove on her face looked As if they were engraved with traces of time, a pair of cloudy eyes narrowed and looked out through the thick reading glasses: "Who is it?"

Ye Jia pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

"Hello, Doctor Chen, I... am a distant relative of the deceased in a case you once handled. I'm here this time to inquire about it with you..."

"The previous case..." Dr. Chen pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose with his bark-like fingers, and shook his head tremblingly: "I am old and useless, and I don't remember much about the past. Well, you probably made the trip in vain..."

"Wait..." Ye Jia hurriedly stretched out his hand against the door the other party was about to close:

"Qi Rou and Ye Huiyong's case, do you still have any memory?"

Doctor Chen paused.

She raised her eyes, took a fixed look at Ye Jia, then sighed slowly, and let go of her hand: "Come in."

"It's miserable, it's really miserable."

The old lady leaned on crutches, walked into the room, and said tremblingly: "I have been in the industry for so many years, and I have rarely seen such a tragic case..."

She turned her head and asked:

"Hey... Since you are a distant relative of their family, do you know what happened to that child later?"

Ye Jia's voice was restrained: "It is said that it seems to be missing."

Dr. Chen was slightly taken aback:

"A sin."

Although more than 30 years have passed, she can still recall clearly——

The little boy who was soaked by the rain, with a pale face and blue lips, was sitting on a chair in the police station and shaking uncontrollably. Blood was stained from the front of his clothes to his trousers, but there was no tear in his eyes. He stared at the open space in front of him.

He experienced a night of terror that no one could imagine.

In just one day—

Bereavement.

kill father.
