After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

Hearing this, Ye Jia's pupils shrank suddenly.

... Grandfather?

Mom's... father?

Through the cold steel railings, one could see the deformed and ugly body of the old man, as if wriggling slowly with the frequency of breathing. The jumping scarlet flesh was stained with a greasy luster by the light overhead. It looks terrible.

"He has maintained this state of being neither dead nor alive for more than 30 years..." The director general stretched out his hand, pressed it on the cold glass cover, and said with a look of pain on his face:

"It is very difficult for ordinary human beings to live to this age, but these sarcoma parasitic on his body have always maintained his life."

Ye Jia stared fixedly at the old man who was hanged for half his life in the prison, his pale thin lips were slightly clenched, as if even the blade could not be pried open.

The frail old man opened his cloudy and dim eyes, and his eyes slowly fixed on Ye Jia.

His face twitched slightly, and a vague creak leaked from the crooked corner of his mouth: "...Who...ah?"

The director general opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, he was interrupted by Ye Jia:

"How did he become like this?"

The Director General was slightly taken aback, and the expression on his face gradually became dignified and painful. He took a deep breath slowly, and said with difficulty:

"Actually, 30 years ago, the door...was opened."

Ye Jia's breathing stagnated, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the director.

The door...was opened?

What do you mean?

·

outside the Authority's headquarters.

The dark and gloomy darkness covered the building, almost blending with the night, but it couldn't be penetrated by light. If you looked into it carefully, you could vaguely see ugly and hideous faces, facing this place like dark clouds. In the vortex composed of ghosts and Yin Qi, the building of the Supernatural Management Bureau stands alone, looking lonely and fragile, as if it will be swallowed up in the next second.

The harsh siren echoed in the building, and the scarlet light that symbolized danger shone in the darkness, like the desperate gasp of a dying person.

The staff on the night shift in the management office were pale, and staring at the Yin Qi tumbling outside the window, tremblingly asked:

"The value...how much?"

Another person said: "No, it can't be measured!"

The detector with the strongest quota in the administration has been rushed to the highest value, and the thin pointer trembled in the dangerous red area, as if it was going to rush to a higher place.

"Quick, contact support!"

Another employee at the front desk raised his head with a dead face, holding his mobile phone in his stiff and cold fingers, and a beeping busy tone came from the microphone:

"Can't get out..."

All communication with the outside world has been completely cut off, and they are now isolated and helpless.

Suddenly, there was a "click", and a pale arm stretched out from the cloud without warning, shattering the glass in the hall, and with all the momentum, it went straight towards the person standing there. Grab the nearest employee at the door!

The sharp nails shone with a cold light, as if they could cut through steel.

The employee's eyes widened, his body was unable to move in extreme panic, his trembling pupils reflected the giant hand reaching out at an uncapturable speed, and he almost forgot how to breathe.

In the next second, a wall of blood suddenly rose from the ground, and the sharp tip mercilessly cut off the giant blue and white hand at the wrist.

In an instant, foul-smelling, pitch-black blood splattered.

There was only a "click", and the huge hand hit the ground heavily, and a miserable howl sounded from outside the broken glass door.

Blood slowly flowed down the employee's pale face, and he stared blankly ahead, as if he hadn't realized what happened just now.

This is, the man's deep and magnetic voice came from behind:

"Ah, it's okay, okay."

Everyone was shocked, and turned their heads suddenly to look in the direction of the sound.

A tall man slowly came out of the darkness, his eyebrows and eyes were extremely deep, and his scarlet blood-like pupils glowed with a strange and evil light in the shadows. Sweeping up, as if brushing off some insignificant dust:

"If a human really dies, I won't be able to play handsome with my brother later."

……Humanity? !

Meaning, the man in front of him is not human?

Everyone couldn't help being startled, and a sense of horrified tremor climbed up their backs.

Immediately afterwards, more ferocious limbs protruded from the darkness outside, as if enraged by the defeat just now, they fiercely attacked the building——

The blood wave rolled behind the man, as if possessing sanity, roaring and rushing towards the ghosts trying to squeeze into the building, the sizzling and screaming sounds of being corroded echoed in the empty hall, and the rotten smell Instantly steamed up.

Ji Xuan glanced at them lightly: "Are you still leaving?"

The moment his voice fell, the others stumbled and fled towards the building as if they had just woken up from a dream.

It doesn't matter whether this man is human or not, friend or enemy, in short, running is the right thing to do.

Soon, Ji Xuan was the only one left in the hall standing alone in the empty hall. Through the broken glass, he could see the greedy face and terrifying body surging outside:

"Ji Xuan..."

A voice sounded from the dark clouds outside, it sounded like the reverberation of many voices, rough, slender, hoarse, malicious, countless voices twisted together, and sounded at the same time: "You have forgotten yourself now identity?"

Ji Xuan took a step forward slowly, and the sea of ​​blood under his feet spread out of the building like a living thing.

As if frightened, the dark cloud outside the door retreated suddenly:

"you……!"

"Is it identity?" Ji Xuan smiled, his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked straight at the rolling dark clouds in the distance, he said: "You know what is the only mission my mother gave me?" ?"

Clouds rolled: "... what?"

The man's voice was low and hoarse, with a chilling sense of oppression: "Find ace."

The smile on Ji Xuan's lips deepened slightly: "Mother promised me, as long as I find him, I will deal with the rest."

He shrugged: "Look, essentially, I never disobeyed her orders."

The black clouds rolling outside the building became more violent and ferocious.

Ji Xuan walked out step by step, the sea of ​​blood under his feet roared, bringing a sense of terror and coercion that could not be ignored. Every time he took a step forward, the heavy black clouds took a step back.

He said slowly: "It's my mother... who has hidden a lot of things from me."

Ji Xuan sighed regretfully:

"I have to say, as the son of her direct line, I am very sad."

——In a sense, my mother didn't trust Ji Xuan.

Whether it was looking for a container for herself, or opening the gate in M ​​city, she never revealed any of these to Ji Xuan.

She seems to have realized that her direct son is not completely obedient, or maybe it is to test and test him. She basically handed over important tasks to other S-level ghost lords, but only to find and transform Ye Jia The task was given to him.

Although Ji Xuan knew that his mother wanted to leave the game, what he didn't know was...

What is mother going to do.

And, where is the really critical location.

While issuing a reward order and wantonly looking for traces of ace, he sent his men in the dark to find and investigate the men of other S-level ghosts, tortured them, and then asked about the existence of City M - it would become the key target of subsequent attacks.

After Ji Xuan came to M City, he slowly realized——

It's not that this door is in city m, but that city m itself is the door.

So, he bought the shade well.

But by then it was too late.

The transformation of the Yin Well has been completed, and it has become one of the cornerstones of the gate.

From that moment on, the opening of the gate was a foregone conclusion, and no one could stop it.

However, due to the suppression of his mother's blood, Ji Xuan could not reveal a single word.

Looking for the part of the body, when they investigated together, Ji Xuan gradually learned the whole picture - what the mother needed was not only a door, but also a container.

As for the past of Ye Jia's mother's lineage, he knew no more than Ye Jia himself.

Looking at the cloud tide of ghosts rolling in front of him, Ji Xuan smiled slightly:

"I think, after careful consideration, she may have failed as a mother more than me as a son."

"So, what position do you use to question me?"

The faces of the fierce ghosts in front of them were vicious and terrifying, but they couldn't seem to find any words to refute. The voices echoed in the dark storm clouds: "Ji Xuan, will you let me go?"

Ji Xuan's voice was cold and indifferent, with a hint of cruel arrogance and malice:

"of course not."

Behind him, a wall made of blood slowly rises, like a tumbling wave in the darkness: "Want to enter? Try it."

at the same time.

Five basement floors of the Occult Authority.

Ye Jia turned his head to look at the chief executive who was standing aside, and asked slowly:

"……what?"

At this moment, the old man gasped hard from inside the railing, his filthy eyes widened suddenly, and he muttered: "The door...! No! Hurry up..."

The Director General sighed and said:

"Since you know...the disappearance of her body, you should have seen the symbols on the coffin, right?"

Ye Jia gave a low "hmm".

"Thirty years ago, due to ignorance and stupidity, human beings...we opened the door once."

The director general looked far away, as if caught in memories.

At that time, the Supernatural Administration had just been established, and every member was proud and full of enthusiasm. At that time, their director, Qi Shengze, was the most powerful and intelligent leader. At that time, they were all ordinary people. Can rely on spells and special guns to fight ghosts.

However, human desires are endless, and the malice bred by desires is increasing with the development of the times.

The evil spirits are getting stronger and stronger, and the Yin Qi is flowing in the streets and alleys, eroding the vitality of ordinary human beings, devouring victims one after another. Battles are hard to win, and more and more people are dying.

Until... Qi Sheng found a way to break the situation.

There is a technique that can open the door to the other shore, and absorb and imprison all the ghosts above level B in the world.

Although it was very difficult, after more than ten years of hard work, they finally completed all the preparations.

The door opened under all eyes.

Indeed, all the ghosts above level b were absorbed into that huge door.

However, what they didn't know was that those ghosts were not imprisoned, but... were eaten.

What they don't even know is that...on the other side of the world, there is a more terrifying existence.

She is the source of evil thoughts and desires, the mother of all monsters and ghosts, and the most terrifying existence in the gap between reality and nothingness.

And she was awakened by fresh blood food.

Fortunately, the existence of the door itself is also a bondage, and the door is opened, but it does not mean that she can come out directly from the other shore.

After all the ghosts disappeared, the number of human deaths still surged, and the Occult Authority began to realize that something was not right—

As the builder of the entire technique, Qi Sheng paid a heavy price for his ignorance and stupidity.

The moment the door was opened, he was parasitized.

A steady stream of evil thoughts invaded the real world from his body, releasing extremely terrifying power.

And his only daughter, as the chosen vessel, became a victim.

In the end, they finally realized that there was something more terrifying coming out of the door, and the Supernatural Administration was determined to make up for the mistakes they made——

The Director General took off his glasses again, wiped the skirt of his shirt, and said:

"The Occult Authority was not restructured more than 30 years ago."

He sighed: "It's just...no one can survive."

Ye Jia was stunned, and in the blink of an eye, a thought flashed in his mind—could it be...?

Just listen to the director general go on to say:

"Since you have seen the old logo of the Authority, you should also know the countless bones buried under those logos."

The numerous mummified corpses built into the wall, and the number of corpses that shouldn't be in an ordinary cemetery, those scenes flashed before Ye Jia's eyes.

"Blood sacrifice." The chief director's tone was heavy and painful: "We had to sacrifice human lives to completely close that door."

It was also from that day that a small number of humans began to possess more powerful abilities.

That is actually not a supernatural power, but another form of yin energy that can be controlled by humans.

——Although a cruel price was paid, human beings still achieved their original goal.

All the ghosts of level b and above were wiped out, and human beings also had means to protect themselves in addition to spells.

Since then, human beings have finally gained the upper hand in the battle with ghosts.

However, such peace was extremely short-lived, lasting only 30 years.

"As long as the door is opened, it can't be completely closed." The director general seemed to be ten years old in an instant, he sighed, and said: "In a place we don't know, there is a gap between the other side and the reality. Let the mother pull potential people from the real world to the other side... Then, it became the current situation."

Even if the rest of the matter doesn't need further explanation from the director general, Ye Jia already knows the ins and outs.

The game is not just a simple killing machine.

Its role is to filter.

Weak and weak human beings without potential become blood food for the ghosts, while humans with potentials will accept the gift from their mothers, and will be slowly transformed into ghosts in the game, becoming her loyal subjects.

The game didn't crash, but was deliberately opened.

Those weak ghosts and monsters wreak havoc in the world and interfere with sight, while the real high-level ghosts will be sent to fulfill the instructions given to them by their mothers. All of them are for the same purpose - to complete the task that was not possible 30 years ago. After completing the matter, release the mother from the already closed door.

"The door... has to be closed..." the pale old man murmured in the prison, his shrunken limbs twitched instinctively, and the sarcoma on the other half wriggled along with it, making a sticky and disgusting sound, and he began to whisper Shout something.

It took Ye Jia a while to recognize the other party's indistinct whisper:

"...Xiaorou, Xiaorou..."

The young man's eyes flashed suddenly, and a complicated and unspeakable look flashed across his eyes.

He forced himself to look away.

The director general observed his expression, and sighed slowly: "As the only high-ranking bureaucrat who survived that reorganization... since that day, he has been imprisoned here as a war criminal. Director Qi also tried to commit suicide and went on a hunger strike. , cut the wrists, even cut the throat...but..."

These sarcomas have been forcing him to live.

Waiting for the moment when the door opens again.

Ye Jia pursed her lips tightly.

He turned his head and looked at the director general: "Can the door be destroyed?"

The Director-General shook his head: "The door is not a concrete concept. From the moment it is opened, its existence cannot be erased."

He continued: "Even if the imprint of the Administration Bureau above is erased, all the corpses are burned, and even that area is razed to the ground, the door will still be there. The only thing that will change is its state...open , or closed."

His face was full of exhaustion:

"These things have also been learned intermittently during this period of time."

After all, 30 years ago, the director general was just an ordinary peripheral employee, and he didn't even know about this extremely core matter.

After the door of hell was opened, he began to rummage through the vast amount of residual information and ask people who had been involved in the incident.

However, all the insiders in the past were almost dead, leaving only an old man with a confused mind, which added a lot of difficulty to his work.

Only recently has the director general pieced together the pieces of information.

At that moment, he couldn't help but shudder.

In the period after that, he has been dealing with and talking with relevant high-level government officials, lobbying relevant departments.

That's why when city m made a request to evacuate the people, the higher authorities could approve it so quickly and start to enforce it.

Ye Jia frowned slightly, seemed to think of something suddenly, raised his head and said:

"Do you know those malicious black rivers that are buried deep underground?"

"...What malice?" The Chief was taken aback.

It seems that the malice buried deep under each mark is the handwriting of the mother.

They may be the center of events.

Ye Jia was lost in thought.

However, those malice can even contaminate the ghosts, and the little black hand has been corroded and lost his mind unintentionally.

They cannot be touched at all, let alone destroyed.

What should I do?

Ye Jia's brows and eyes are slightly condensed.

After a long time, he turned his head to look at the director general and said, "Okay, I've figured out what I need to know, let's go."

The director general turned his head to look at the old man behind him, sighed, and said, "Okay."

The two of them walked up the elevator slowly.

Before the elevator door opened, they could already hear the horrific screams from outside.

The chief's face paled slightly, he took a step back subconsciously, and swallowed his saliva:

"... Just now, the person who was with you, can he really do it alone?"

Ye Jia turned his head and glanced at him: "Don't worry about him."

Director General: "..."

This is not a question of worry or not! ! !

"He alone is enough." Ye Jia said with a smile.

The door of the elevator in front of him slowly opened, revealing a hall completely covered in dirty, rancid blood and body fluids. In the distance, at the door of the building, the man's back was slender and tall, and he looked very small in front of the overwhelming ghosts in front of him, but he was still like that Standing there on the ground, even if they didn't move a step, the ghosts around them couldn't take half a step forward, blood and stumps spread, turning the whole world into a purgatory on earth.

The director general's eyes widened in disbelief: "...he, what is he...?"

Ye Jia seemed to hear something suddenly, and said, "Oh, you should have heard of his name."

……what?

The director general looked at Ye Jia blankly.

He only heard the young man in front of him say casually: "Ji Xuan."

... Ji Xuan?

It does sound a bit familiar...

and many more.

The director general's eyes widened suddenly, he almost forgot how to breathe, and stared at the man not far away with his mouth open.

Ghost King Ji Xuan? ? ? ? ?

Ye Jia ignored the general director who was in a mess in the wind, but walked towards Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan turned his head and looked over, his thin lips hooked slightly: "Brother, are you done talking?"

Ye Jia gave a "hmm", then raised his eyes to look at the hurricane-like ghost tide in front of him, and frowned slightly: "It's you, why haven't you finished dealing with it for so long?"

Ji Xuan: "..."

He was a little discouraged, and whispered: "The previous wave has been cleaned up."

Ye Jia stared intently at the outside of the building, Li Gui's corpse had almost filled the open space, and the ground could hardly be seen layer by layer, ranging from B-level, A-level, to S-level, everything that one expects to find.

He was slightly taken aback: "What wave is this now?"

Ji Xuan thought for a while: "Let's make the fourth wave."

Looking at the hellish scene in front of him, Ye Jia frowned tightly.

Not right.

He whispered: "...for an old man who has been half buried in the ground, is it worth spending so much money?"

At this moment, the ghost tide in front of him suddenly stopped attacking.

Multiple voices came from the dark clouds in front of him, and he laughed wildly: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!"

"That's right, as expected of an ace." The voice sounded particularly vicious:

"However... our mission has been completed, hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe..."

Accompanied by ferocious laughter, the dark clouds in front of him slowly receded into the distance, and dispersed in the blink of an eye, revealing the sky outside.

The sky above the head has gradually revealed a fish belly white color, and the morning glow has been dyed a particularly ominous blood red.

At this time, the mobile phone in Ye Jia's pocket suddenly vibrated twice.

He took out his cell phone.

That message should have been sent to him five hours ago.

It's a message from the forensic doctor.

The eyeball that was sent was gone.

Ye Jia shook violently, his fingers tightened in an instant - not good!

These ghosts came not to prevent him from meeting the former director, but to keep him and Ji Xuan out of M city.

·

m city.

The plan given above is very complete, and the resources are also very sufficient, as if the evacuation has already been prepared for this time.

Waterways, landways, including air transportation, are readily available and highly efficient.

After a day and night of scheduling, most of the residents have been basically evacuated from the city, and only a small number of them are still blocking the roads out of the city.

The little girl hugged her mother's neck and looked curiously in the direction she came from.

She raised her fleshy little hand and pointed towards the already empty city of M, her childish voice was innocent and innocent: "Mom, what is that?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked.

The sky behind him was soaked in blood-colored light at some point.

Looking down from a high altitude, the blood-red lines on the ground emerged between the streets of the city, radiating terrifying light, forming the pattern of a huge door.

There was a rumbling sound on the ground.

It's like...something terrible is hitting behind it.
