After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

one day ago.

"20 souls..."

The shadow ghost followed behind Ji Xuan, floating forward silently.

Under its floating feet is the pitch-black ground, the flesh and blood on it dried up and solidified layer by layer, and was once again poured with viscous plasma, making it almost impossible to distinguish the previous color and appearance.

It's still figuring it out.

20 souls is an extremely large amount, even for high-level ghosts.

How can we get so many souls without killing people?

Amy couldn't figure it out.

It didn't realize that it was murmuring unintentionally.

Ji Xuan didn't answer either, just turned his head and glanced at it casually: "How is the matter I told you?"

Ami was taken aback, and suddenly came back to her senses: "Wang... Wang, I'm ready!"

——Ghosts and monsters were not of the same mind from the very beginning.

In order to ensure the operation of the game, the mother will rarely appear in the game. She is too powerful, and any excessive actions will interfere with the implementation of the plan.

Before the door between the real world and the game was opened, only a very small number of high-level ghosts knew about the existence of the mother.

For the vast majority of low-level ghosts, their familiarity with the term mother is comparable to that of human beings. It was only after the gate of M City was opened that they suddenly realized the existence of this terrifying ruler.

For some ghosts and monsters, some are even more accustomed to coexisting with humans, rather than being ruled by a terrifying monster with an iron fist.

However, fearing the power of the mother, no Li Gui dared to show rejection and resistance.

Submerged and suppressed complaints do not mean that they do not exist, but will be spawned and strengthened in silence.

During this period of time, the work done by Ji Xuan's subordinates was very simple, that is——

arch fire.

The mother and the high-ranking ghosts around her instinctively ignored those weak ghosts. After all, the level gap between ghosts was almost insurmountable. Why should they pay attention to bugs that can be killed with a little finger?However, these weak and neglected ghosts are the most numerous, they hide in the dark stone crevices, under the steps, almost all over the world.

These ghosts cannot form combat power, but behind them is a huge intelligence network.

And the shadow ghost is originally a fierce ghost born in darkness and shadows. In terms of concealing breath, it can even hide from the mother's eyes, which makes it the best candidate for this task.

"Here it comes." Shadow Ghost said, turning sideways.

A ghost took a step forward tremblingly, its jelly-like body swayed along with its steps, and the four or five faces on its head were all anxious:

"……king."

It lowered its head in fear, its translucent and shaking belly almost fell to the ground.

A man's calm voice came from above his head: "Raise your head."

The jelly ghost raised his face cautiously, and looked towards the other party. The man's scarlet pupils drooped, as if a cold and cruel sea of ​​blood was contained in the depths of the pupils. Those eyes, which were exactly the same as those of his mother, made it instinctively feel fear and fear. Trembling——

But it is very clear that only the other party can guarantee its own safety now.

After the human who could use fire forcibly broke into the city of M, basically all the ghosts that chased them were wiped out, only it escaped.

It shivered and hid in the corner, knowing that its life was in danger.

Until Shadow Ghost found it and asked it a question:

"What do you think, if mother knows that you have neglected your duty and put humans into the city, or even deep into the underground passage, how will she treat you?"

So, it has only one way left to go.

Immediately afterwards, it was placed in the team closest to its mother.

There, it clearly saw the cruel side of the mother as the ruler. What filled the huge pool of blood was not only human corpses, but also ghosts and monsters. They were even dismembered and thrown away for no reason. into it.

What's more... it now has a task that is almost impossible to complete.

Li Gui knew very well that Ji Xuan was the only option for him to survive, and...

"Have you figured it out?" The man's voice was very calm, unpredictable.

Li Gui bowed his lower body deeply: "I obey your orders."

...And, more importantly, it doesn't think that after releasing the mother from the other shore, whether these weak ghosts will still have room to survive.

"Very good." Ji Xuan said.

He lowered his eyes and said, "Tell me all the information related to the Blood Sacrifice Pool."

"Yes." The other party lowered his body and replied respectfully.

·

Soon, only Ji Xuan and Shadow Ghost were left in this wasteland.

Shadow Ghost couldn't hold back, and asked, "Wang... 20 souls, what are you going to do?"

Ji Xuan glanced at it lightly, and answered irrelevantly: "The soul needed for the blood sacrifice is actually the energy needed to open the gate. It doesn't matter if it's from ghosts or from humans."

Shadow Ghost suddenly realized: "So you are going to use Li Gui's..."

"No." Ji Xuan said.

Shadow Ghost: "...Huh?"

The man raised his hand, his nails scratched his wrist lightly, the skin burst open, blue meridians protruded from his pale arm, a few drops of viscous blood slowly seeped from the wound, and fell drop by drop into the air in front of him. In the glass bottle that appeared, blood droplets hit the bottom of the bottle, making a crisp and even sound.

Shadow Ghost's eyes widened in shock, and he took a step back abruptly.

It could smell... coming from ahead, that strong scent that could almost drive all ghosts mad, the fragrance of energy from the depths of the soul, hooking its instinctive appetite and thirst.

In no time, the vial was filled and then firmly corked.

That breath finally disappeared.

Shadow Ghost looked at Ji Xuan in surprise: "My lord, this, this is..."

"Equivalent to the energy of 20 souls." Ji Xuan raised his hand, gently wiped the wound with his fingertips, and the deep scars that reached the bone disappeared instantly.

His eyes were lowered, and his already bloodless face turned pale.

Ji Xuan raised his lips slightly: "This should be enough."

Mother has to open the door.

Both he and Ye Jia are part of the blood sacrifice. They are not only essential materials, but also raw materials that can be used for burning.

So now, there are 20 souls missing in the blood sacrifice pool.

If there is one less introduction...

Forcibly opening the door in this case, there will only be one situation.

Backlash.

The mother was rejected by the rules and returned to the other shore.

Ji Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Ying Gui: "You can go to Ye Jia now."

"What... what did I say?" Shadow Ghost scratched his head in a daze.

Ji Xuan: "Tell him that the matter of the soul has been resolved."

All that needs to be done is the last step——

How to hide the truth from Ye Jia and get the other party's blood.

but……

Ji Xuan raised his head and looked in the direction where the shadow ghost disappeared.

He admits his cowardice.

·

Ji Xuan buried his head in the other's embrace, sniffing greedily the icy scent of the young man's body, his arms tightened, as if he could never hug enough.

The young man's limbs were as cold as his, but it was like a warm quagmire, pulling him down to the depths, knowing that if he continued, there would be no way to recover, but he still indulged in it uncontrollably.

how intimate.

It was like a dream he had never had, so false that he felt unreal.

A young man's helpless voice came from above his head: "Just for a while."

Don't want to let go.

Don't want to let go.

Ji Xuan heard a voice rumbling in his mind.

He let go of his hand, raised his head, and raised the corners of his lips: "Is there any reward this time?"

The kiss on the forehead was soft and quick, like a soft and brittle soap bubble, bursting with a "bang" deep in his chest, lifting him up to float, but the cold and dark thought Wrapped around his ankles, pulling him to fall into the abyss.

blood.

No matter what method is used, whether it is deception or lies, he must get Ye Jia's blood.

Doorway.

Ji Xuan licked the opponent's lips, his sharp teeth scratched the opponent's lips, and the tip of his tongue carefully rolled the blood into his mouth.

He carried out the plan calmly and calmly.

But wait... just wait.

Ji Xuan knew the source of his cowardice.

He was afraid... the moment he saw the other party, he would not be able to restrain his burning desire and attachment, as well as the paranoia that he wanted to be together even if he fell into hell.

"After everything is over."

Ji Xuan heard what the other party said.

That's right, after everything is over.

"Then it's settled."

Ji Xuan looked deeply at the young man standing in front of him, as if he wanted to firmly imprint the figure of the other party in his mind.

He never thought that... the first person to break the vow of "always in everything" would be himself.

Ji Xuan gave a short laugh:

"After everything is over."

·

The puppeteer's expression was extremely complicated: "...Are you sure?"

Ji Xuan: "Of course."

The puppet master took a fixed look at the man in front of him, and shook his head in confusion: "It's not like you, Ji Xuan."

Li Gui is a selfish creature who will do anything to satisfy his own desires. The more powerful Li Gui is, the more obsessed he is, and the other party would actually make such a decision for the sake of other people... This is really incomprehensible.

Ji Xuan raised his hand, a drop of blood floated in his slender and pale palm, and said calmly:

"For you, if your mother doesn't leave the real world, you have to hide here forever, don't you?"

The puppeteer looked at him for the last time, and finally, he replied:

"Ok."

He took the blood from Ji Xuan's hand: "Give me some time."

After finishing speaking, the puppet master disappeared into the ghost again.

Ji Xuan stood in the wilderness for a long time, his blood-red eyes fixed in the distance. In his eyes, paranoid desire and reason were fighting, and his sharp fingertips were deeply embedded in his palms. The pain it brought was extremely slight, making him almost unable to feel the slightest sense of calm.

Voices roared in his head.

Desire whispers.

So what if the whole world is upended?Wouldn't it be enough if they were together forever?

Are you really willing?

willing?

Ji Xuan's pupils tightened and turned into a narrow slit, like the vertical pupils of a snake, shining with inhuman cruelty and bloodthirsty madness.

A youthful face flashed before his eyes.

In the night, the young man turned his head to look at himself, his star-like eyes reflected the night sky and lights above his head.

Ji Xuan closed his eyes.

Yes.

willing.

At this moment, the shadow ghost came back and brought a big gift - a human being who was still struggling and trembling crazily.

Ji Xuan glanced at him lightly.

The past as a human being is meaningless dust to him, and he can hardly recall what happened so long ago. However, since Ye Jia sent it to him, it can be regarded as a gift.

Just as Ji Xuan was about to raise his hand to let the shadow ghost take him away and distribute it to other ghosts for torture and fun, a blood-red moth fluttered towards him in the distance.

He was stunned.

Ji Xuan raised his hand, moths landed on his icy and slender fingertips, the tentacles on the top of his head trembled, as if whispering something.

News from the intelligence network.

There has been a change in the Occult Administration, and it seems that they have begun to recruit people... And, Ace is also there.

Ji Xuan was startled.

Is brother going to make a move?

However, the other party did not disclose any information to him... What's going on?

The man lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the man with a pale and distorted face. A pair of blood-red eyes flashed with a cruel and terrifying expression, but his voice remained flat.

He said to Shadow Ghost: "There is no need to send it there."

Ji Xuan walked forward unhurriedly, leaned down slightly, and saw his shrinking face in the other's terrified pupils, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a warm smile:

"Let's have a good chat."

Horrible screams echoed in the blood-colored wasteland, and the screams were particularly terrifying, as if they shouldn't have appeared in this world, filled with astonishing fear and despair.

I don't know how long it took.

The screaming stopped.

Ji Xuan wiped his blood-stained fingertips little by little, his dark pupils were half-closed, the emotions in his eyes were dark and unpredictable, and his whole body was enveloped in a dangerous aura of indistinguishable emotions.

Although the Director-General never asked the former Director-General about the whereabouts of the notebook, he has actually been continuing the relevant research over the years. Although it is still not deep enough, he has touched the door.

Based on the information Ji Xuan now knows...

In fact, he was able to roughly guess the other party's intentions.

The pain gnawed at every muscle, bone, and flesh in Ji Xuan's body, and a crack was opened in his heart, as if being pierced through his chest by the opponent's sickle again...

It's like being burned by the other's warm palm in a dark school building.

Shadow Ghost approached cautiously: "King, what are you going to do next?"

Ji Xuan: "Don't stop me."

He turned his head to look at Shadow Ghost: "Move away those ghosts lurking near the Blood Sacrifice Pool. Once you encounter an ambush, you don't need to fight. Report to mother immediately."

"Yes." Shadow Ghost didn't dare to ask further questions, bowed his head deeply, and disappeared.

Ji Xuan lowered his head and spread his palms.

A puppet with light hair and light eyes appeared in his palm, looking at him with its head tilted, holding a sickle in its small arms.

"Brother, it turns out you lied to me too."

He lowered his head, and placed a kiss on the top of the puppet's hair with preciousness, his lips slightly curled up: "You love me."

·

Ji Xuan lowered a pair of scarlet eyes, glanced at those struggling, angry, and screaming humans, and then retracted lightly.

The blood sacrifice pool in front of him glowed with a frightening glimmer, gurgling and rolling.

A huge hollow circle spread out in the air, and viscous malice poured down.

Ji Xuan stretched out his hand to hold the puppet next to Ye Jia's breath, narrowed his eyes carelessly, and showed a faint smile.

Brother, I won.
