clatter.
clatter.
The sound of footsteps from behind gradually approached, amplified by the surrounding stone walls, and echoed in the narrow cave. Every step seemed to be stepping on people's hearts.
A man's too strong sense of presence is like a magnet, even if he doesn't need to turn around, he can feel each other's approaching step by step.
Ye Jia's back was stiff.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, entwined into a mess.
The shadow ghost bowed deeply towards the person who came:
"king."
Ye Jia gritted his teeth, turned around abruptly, and bent deeply behind his back:
"-king."
Seemingly surprised by his reaction, the footsteps stopped.
But it's still too close.
Ye Jia could almost smell the smell coming from the other party's body - it was the thick bloody smell that passed through the sea of blood in the mountains after the massacre.
After so many years in the game, he was already very familiar with this taste, but at this moment Ye Jia couldn't help but feel tight.
"Huh?" The man's low voice came from above his head, with a hint of interest: "What do you call me?"
... !
What did he mean when he said this...
Ye Jia felt that his still-unsteady heart began to beat violently again, banging bang bang bang bang in his chest, causing some pain in his ribs.
A ghostly voice came from behind:
"Oh, now you know who you are loyal to?"
Ye Jia waited nervously, but the man standing in front of him didn't seem to refute Shadow Ghost's statement.
The heart he lifted finally fell back a little.
- It seems that he may not have been recognized by the other party.
The shadow ghost's voice carried an undisguised killing intent: "Since you will come to participate in this kind of rebel gathering, you have already chosen your position, and you should be clear about the consequences of betrayal."
The most worrying thing did not happen, Ye Jia's mouth was much more flexible.
He bent his waist lower and said in a panicked tone:
"No, you misunderstood me! I came this time because I got some gossip. It is said that someone is plotting something unspeakable in the dark, so I sneaked in today just to spy on here for you. The situation... If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me, you can ask the spider soldiers to see if the mother insect has invited me..."
Before Ye Jia finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sneer from the shadow ghost, who asked coldly:
"Are you so kind?"
Ye Jia nodded heavily, so that his movements could penetrate the layer of Yin Qi covered by the outside and be seen by the people in front of him.
He racked his brains and explained:
"This, it's because I admired you very much from the beginning, but I didn't have the chance to approach you, so as long as the sword swerved and took risks, so that..."
"Don't be rhetoric!" Shadow Ghost's voice sharpened: "Betrayal is absolutely not allowed..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Oh?" Ji Xuan, who had not said a word from the beginning, suddenly said:
"You admire me?"
There was not much emotion in his voice, only the ending was slightly elongated with a smile that was not a smile, revealing a hint of inexplicable meaning.
?
Shadow ghost choked.
It looked at the ghost king standing not far away in disbelief, and seemed to wonder if the other party had been dropped.
"...Yes, yes." Ye Jia bit the bullet and continued: "After all, your powerful forces can make all the ghosts terrified. I felt from the beginning that no one but you is qualified to be the only king who leads the ghosts. , I don't dare to betray you even if you give me eight hundred courage."
"Really?" Ji Xuan fluttered down the words, his slightly drooping scarlet eyes filled with unpredictable emotions.
He stepped forward again and walked out of the cave: "Then keep up."
The sound of footsteps echoing in the cave gradually faded away.
When Ye Jia raised his head, Ji Xuan and the huge blood Gu fish had disappeared.
Only he and the shadow ghost looked at each other:
"… "
The shadow ghost stared at the direction where Ji Xuan disappeared, and the already blurred facial features became more dazed, as if he was deeply suspicious of ghosts.
Ye Jia couldn't hold back and asked:
"Your king... was this always like this before?"
Seems a little... too good to talk.
It always feels weird.
The shadow ghost was pulled back from the trance by his voice. Although it also didn't know what was going on, it was not good to show its timidity in front of this traitor. , didn't you hear?"
Ye Jia: "..."
Fine.
Shadow Ghost and Ye Jia jumped out of the cave one after the other.
However, what greeted them was not a dilapidated and desolate construction site, but a gorgeous hall with bright lights, clean and clean floors, luxurious decorations, and a smell of money everywhere.
Ye Jia was startled and turned his head to look behind him.
The hole of the ghost-faced spider was gone.
Ye Jia's heart sank slightly.
It should be at the moment just now that Ji Xuan unfolded his ghost, and accurately controlled the ghost at the entrance of the ghost spider's cave, even entering and leaving before anyone noticed it.
It's like a portal.
This kind of control... Ye Jia could not be sure whether it was because of the opponent's strength, or because of the privilege given to the king he chose by a certain game.
Either way, it's unbelievable.
Ji Xuan raised his hand and unbuttoned the two buttons under his neck, revealing his pale clavicle with clear lines, and then sat down.
- Maybe it was because the cave was too dark and the man was too imposing, Ye Jia only noticed now that, unlike the other Specters, he was wearing human clothes.
Simple white shirt, black trousers.
It looks very casual, and seems to have been perfectly integrated into human society.
Ji Xuan thoughtfully looked at the two ghosts in front of him.
A pair of blood-colored eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flowed in the deep eyes, like blood flowing slowly under the bright light of the room.
In his eyes, it seems that everything is inescapable.
Ye Jia forcibly restrained his urge to add a few more layers of yin to his body.
Based on experience, his disguise is supposed to be foolproof.
but…
He has begun to regret his impulse just now.
Before Ye Jia could bear it any longer, Ji Xuan withdrew his gaze.
He said calmly, "I believe in you."
Before Ye Jia could breathe a sigh of relief, he just listened to the other party continue:
"So I'll give you a chance to prove your loyalty."
Ye Jia: "..."
Wait, why did he suddenly have an ominous foreboding.
Ji Xuan tapped the handle of the sofa lightly with his pale fingers, and asked slowly, "Have you heard of the Supernatural Administration?"
… could not be more familiar.
Ye Jia reluctantly squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Probably, it seems, I have heard a little."
"Very good." Ji Xuan chuckled softly, "Find a way to get in."
Ye Jia's eyes darkened: "..."
Is this his retribution for lying about being a double agent just now? ! !
He took a deep breath and said dryly: "This, this kind of department, should be strictly managed, right? I'm not very good at pretending to be human, I'm afraid it will be difficult... "
"If you need it," Ji Xuan said, "I can help you."
Ye Jia: "..."
He said sternly: "But! In order to show the capital that can be trusted by the king, I believe that I will be able to handle such trivial matters myself! Guaranteed to complete the task perfectly!"
Ji Xuan looked at him with a faint smile, "Okay."
He stood up and walked slowly to Ye Jia.
Ye Jia was a little shaken.
Images that were buried deep in my memory suddenly flooded into my mind.
[The little boy who only reached his waist stood alone in front of him, with a pale face looking up and a pair of big dark and dark eyes staring at him, a kind of morbid paranoia deeply felt Hidden in the depths of his eyes, he raised the corners of his lips and said in a slightly hoarse childish voice: "Brother, I believe in you."]
After a second of trance, Ji Xuan had already walked in front of him.
Ye Jia realized that the other party was already half a head taller than himself, with broad shoulders and a straight back like a sharp blade. Just standing there could give people a terrible sense of oppression.
"Report on work every week in the future." Ji Xuan's voice was calm: "If you need anything, I will let the ghost ghost find you.
He lowered a pair of blood-red eyes, the corners of his pale lips were slowly raised, his voice was low, and he said unhurriedly:
"I trust you will live up to my expectations."
·
It was the shadow ghost who sent Ye Jia out.
Perhaps because they are now colleagues, the shadow ghost's attitude towards Ye Jia is obviously better than before: "Since the king likes you, it means that there may be something special about you, don't worry, as long as you work hard, Don't provoke the king, I believe you can get what you want and find a place beside the king."
Ye Jia: "Haha, thank you."
No, I don't want to find a place with him thanks, I just want to stay away from him.
how far away.
In the next second, the ghost ghost took out a mobile phone from behind him like a conjuration:
"Come and add a WeChat?"
Ye Jia: "..."
?
Are all the ghosts now so advanced with the times
Ye Jia took out his mobile phone from his pocket in a trance, and scanned the QR code of Shadow Ghost according to the method taught by the little black hand.
Soon, the two became friends.
Ye Jia glanced at the screen on the phone and fell silent again.
The other party's avatar is a fluffy milk cat whose nickname is: Cats love to eat fish.
Ah this.
Shadow Ghost stuffed the phone back: "Contact me if you have anything."
Ye Jia: "...Okay."
On this day, the impact he received was too much.
Before the ghost left, Ye Jia still couldn't hold back, and called out to him: "Wait a minute..."
"Huh?" Shadow Ghost asked.
"Your king, are you good to the staff?"
The shadow ghost thought deeply, and after a long time, it looked up at Ye Jia: "It's been much better recently."
Ye Jia: "?"
Shadow Ghost said: "He hasn't killed our followers very much recently."
Ye Jia: "... This way."
"Actually, Wang is still good to us. Following other S-rank ghosts, not only do you have to worry about being eaten all the time, but it is also difficult to get any soup to drink." The ghost's mentality is very good: "Wang is the only one who is not stingy. Specter, following him, we only need to worry about the first point."
Ye Jia: "...Okay."
From this point of view, the employment environment of Specter is much more severe than that of human beings.
After a brief chat, Shadow Ghost and Ye Jia seemed to have gotten to know each other.
It raised the light and fuzzy hand and patted Ye Jia on the shoulder: "Don't worry, our life will be better when the king catches that wicked and cunning human being himself."
Some wicked and cunning human: "..."
Well, there's really nothing to worry about.
