When he heard the familiar voice, Ye Jia's brain was blank for a moment: "..."
This... it's not true.
However, the sound of footsteps approaching slowly behind him shattered the last trace of fantasy in his heart.
Ye Jia closed his eyes in despair.
—Why does this man like to sneak attacks from behind him so much! ! Is there any disease? !
After being stunned for two seconds, Ami was the first to react. He was shocked, and then quickly turned around and bowed: "King!"
Ye Jia turned around and saluted: "... King."
Ji Xuan backlight stood under the street lamp, his tall and slender figure was outlined by the dim yellow light, his red eyes were half-squinted, and he said loosely: "Okay."
Ami asked in panic, "Wang, you, why are you here?"
"How can I hear such an interesting conversation if I don't come?" Ji Xuan's eyes fell on Ye Jia, and his pale thin lips evoked a smile: "So, what do you want to know?"
Ye Jia: "..."
I don't want to know anything now.
Compared with Ye Jia, who was directly named by Ji Xuan, Ami's reaction was obviously bigger. It trembled as if struck by lightning, and the face with blurred features seemed to be able to see clear fear: "Wang... Wang, yes My fault... I shouldn't be behind your back..."
Ji Xuan retracted his gaze and glanced at Ami lightly: "Shut up."
Ami was as quiet as a chicken for a moment.
He walked over unhurriedly, stopped in front of Ye Jia, and asked with interest, "Are you very interested in me?"
Ye Jia hurriedly said, "No no—"
Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows: "You're not interested in me?"
"..." Ye Jia choked.
Why... the direction the conversation is going is getting a little out of whack
He racked his brains for a few seconds, and then answered dryly, "No... I'm only interested in you just within the range of normal subordinates' admiration for their superiors..."
Why does it sound more wrong? ?
Ami, who was watching everything from the side, seemed to be overly frightened, and her ethereal figure swayed. It seems that he will faint in the next second.
Ye Jia waited nervously, but after waiting for a long time, he did not hear the movement of the other party.
He raised his eyes silently and looked at the man standing in front of him, but accidentally bumped into the depths of Ji Xuan's dark blood-colored eyes.
Ye Jia's breath suffocated slightly.
At that moment, he almost thought his disguise had been seen through.
However, Ji Xuan withdrew his gaze in the next second as if nothing had happened.
His eyes drooped slightly, and his pale face looked cold and indifferent under the street lights, like an impersonal sculpture, and there was a kind of cold and hard texture in his deep voice:
"If that's the case, then recognize your position."
The moment he heard the almost threatening words of the other party, Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.
He complimented the man in front of him with perfect etiquette: "This kind of thing will never happen again, Wang."
Ami stared blankly at the scene in front of her, feeling that the unreality she felt yesterday reappeared, and it was stronger than last time.
Wang this time...
Is it so good to talk
It had seen with his own eyes a Specter who was chewing his tongue behind his back after being caught by Wang Live. With a smile on his face, Wang slowly tore the Specter into pieces, and finally forced the other party to use the only remaining head to shatter his own. After eating his body, he mercifully ended the life of the Specter.
Yes, are you in a good mood recently
Ami thought uncertainly.
But that's not right, the number of ghosts fed blood gu fish a while ago has reached a new high, and even the blood gu fish have been fed up.
When Ami was puzzled, Ji Xuan seemed to have lost interest in this topic.
He looked at Ami:
"Have the remnants been dealt with?"
Ami buried her head a little lower, and said timidly, "Yes, yes, there is nothing left."
"Very good." Ji Xuan nodded casually, but there was not much praise in his voice: "Send the news out, and let those who are eager to see the fate of the betrayal."
"Yes." Ami responded hurriedly.
"As for you..." Ji Xuan's eyes fell on Ye Jia again: "How is it going?"
Ye Jia: "... Well, it should, I can get in right away... I think."
Unexpectedly, Ji Xuan did not entangle on this point.
"Speaking of which." He half-squinted his scarlet eyes, the dark and deep light slowly flowing in the bottom of his eyes, his voice was low and hoarse: "Since you put me under my command, I have not tested your strength yet."
Ye Jia's heart suddenly burst.
Ami boldly interjected: "Wang... Wang, today Aye has the remnants who help deal with the worm mother. I have to say that your vision is really very good. He is the most potential newcomer I have ever met!"
"Aye?" Ji Xuan raised his lips with a faint smile.
A trace of cold displeasure flashed in his eyes, and the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop a few degrees in an instant.
His real eyes fell on Ye Jia, and he asked slowly: "Then-Aye, tell me, what weapon are you good at using?"
Ye Jia's muscles tightened slowly: "... Claws."
"Oh?" Ji Xuan asked with interest, "Let me see."
Ye Jia's eyes were slightly stern, and the slender fingers hanging by his side moved suddenly, as if suppressing the instinctive preparations before the battle.
The atmosphere was instantly stagnant.
Ami gritted her teeth—no way, I couldn't let my colleague who was finally pleasing to the eye anger Wang at such a time and died here.
Yes, be saved.
It took courage and carefully broke the silence: "That, Wang, the claws of the race of Aye are only actively displayed during mating..."
"Oh," In just a few seconds before and after, Ji Xuan had completely restrained the evil spirit that had been vaguely revealed before: "Is that so."
His tail was elongated, and there was a hint of regret in his voice: "It's a pity."
Ji Xuan doesn't seem to be ready to continue entanglement with them on this topic.
He waved his hand and said calmly, "Go, come to me every week to report the progress of the mission, and the ghost will tell you the location and time."
Ye Jia: "..."
The other party's topic changed too quickly, causing the killing intent that surged up in his heart just like a punctured balloon.
… I suspect I have been sexually harassed in the workplace.
But I have no proof.
After listening to Ji Xuan's words, Ami was relieved, and hurriedly pulled Ye Jia to salute him, and then prepared to drag her almost dead friend to leave the scene quickly—
"The shadow ghost stays." Ji Xuan said without warning.
Ami's eyes darkened.
It waved at Ye Jia pitifully, and then returned to the moody Ghost King tremblingly.
Before leaving, Ye Jia hurriedly turned his head and glanced behind him.
The tall man stood under the street lamp, as if quietly watching his back.
·
Ye Jia went straight home.
The room was very quiet, and through the window, you could vaguely hear the traffic coming from the distance. The lights were not turned on, and the dim and changing lights came in through the glass, changing rapidly on the windowsill and on the ground.
Ye Jia sat motionless in the darkness, his eyes drooped slightly, and a cloud covered his forehead.
His eyes were fixed on his feet, as if he was caught in some kind of deep thought.
- I don't know why, the scene that Ye Jia saw in a hurry when he left made Ye Jia somewhat unforgettable.
The tall and straight man stands alone under the street lights, like a dark silhouette, splitting the light and shadow into bright and dark, as if waiting for something.
Elusive and disturbing.
In fact, since it came to Ji Xuan, Ye Jia felt very bottomless from the beginning.
Especially when he can't be sure... whether the other party has confessed himself.
According to experience, he should be safe - after all, Ye Jia has enough confidence in himself in disguise, and there will be no trace of his former breath. In addition, when he is in the game, all players' faces are fake, Even if Ji Xuan became the ghost king now, Ye Jia didn't feel that the other party could recognize it from his appearance and before.
More importantly...
Ghosts are the product of extreme obsessions and emotional fluctuations. Ye Jia has never seen a ghost who does not hold grudges. It can even be said that the stronger the ghost's ability and the higher the level, the more terrifying the obsession.
Judging from the fact that the other party was killed by himself, if his identity was exposed, Ye Jia would not feel that he could live without incident until now.
What's more... He now has to figure out what Ji Xuan's purpose is.
Although Ye Jia is not willing to be more involved with his past, he can't just sit back and ignore the current situation - after the game crashed, too many ghosts and monsters lost their restraints, but behind this chaotic appearance, it seems that there are still hidden A dark tide that cannot be seen through for the time being.
The bus that took Li Gui to the unknown, what Ami said was the power behind the mother of insects... All the unstable factors gathered together, which made people feel extremely uneasy.
And Ji Xuan... this ghost king.
As a king, what exactly does he want to do? Destroy humanity? Or rule the world
Do you have to fight against him again this time
Ye Jia's eyes drooped slightly, and he carefully examined his palm.
The room was dark, with pale palms, like pale snow under the light from the window.
—The day before, it was covered in blood, but today it is as clean as ever.
However, the sticky and cold touch seemed to never disappear, and still remained in his palm and between his fingers.
At this moment, the voice of the little black hand sounded from his ear: "What's the matter with you?"
It climbed onto Ye Jia's shoulder and asked quietly, "What are you thinking about?"
Ye Jia looked back: "Nothing."
He paused, then suddenly asked, "As far as you are concerned, Ji Xuan's attitude... is it normal?"
The little black hand tried hard to recall.
Its strength is too weak, even in the game, it is difficult to meet a powerful Specter, and even when I saw Wang by chance, I glanced at it from a distance.
However, a king who cares about his subordinates must be a good king!
The little black hand said solemnly:
"It's normal!"
"Hmm." Ye Jia replied noncommittally, seeming to be distracted.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang without warning, and the screen lit up in the dark.
Ye Jia was startled and turned his head in the direction of the phone.
The little black hand leaned over, took the phone in his hand, and glanced at it.
It exclaimed suffocatingly: "God!"
Ye Jia frowned: "What's wrong?"
The little black hand hurriedly moved over with the phone in his hand, and his voice became a little distorted because of the shock: "Look at it! Look at it!"
Ye Jia glanced at the phone, his eyes widened slightly:
"This… "
A transfer record flashed on the screen.
It was Ami who called.
"A lot of money!" The little black hand held the phone preciously, and was overwhelmed by the excitement, and almost wept with joy: "I have never seen so much money before!"
-Especially after knowing Ye Jia's salary card like the back of his hand, he is extremely aware of the poverty of his family.
Ye Jia watched it twice before confirming that he had no dazzling eyes.
He took a slow, deep breath, his eyes bright and firm.
This part-time job is worth it!
·
"Hit, hit it."
The shadow ghost's figure is lower, and it seems that the atmosphere does not dare to make a sound, and reports in fear.
"Go away." Ji Xuanman waved his hand indifferently.
"Yes."
Ami turned around and dived into the shadow as if she had been granted amnesty.
Watching the figure of the shadow ghost disappear into the darkness, the expression on Ji Xuan's face disappeared like thin snow under the sun.
Sen Leng's blood was wrapped around him, as if to indicate the gloomy mood of the master.
His fingers lifted lightly.
A scarlet wave rose slowly on the ground, and the summoned blood gu fish appeared beside him, rubbing against Ji Xuan's palm with his pale head.
Ji Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at the blood Gu fish around him, and spread his palms.
In the next second, a drop of half-coagulated blood slowly emerged in his palm, half-suspended in the air.
The blood gu fish opened its big mouth and took the drop of blood into its mouth. A whirlpool instantly surged up on its huge back covered with blood, and the whirlpool spread out around. Then, in the center of the whirlpool, a Images from faraway places appear in it.
In the blurred back, a young man appeared in the center of the picture.
His face was shrouded in a hazy cloud, and he couldn't see clearly, but he could still tell that he was tall and slender, like a sharp blade hidden in a scabbard.
Ji Xuan's eyes stared at the scene in the vortex.
He raised his hand, and his pale fingertips swiped across the figure of the young man in the picture, his movements were gentle and slow, as if he was stroking some precious and fragile rare treasure.
"Aye?"
He murmured softly, his words soft and gentle, but inexplicably had a chilling horror: "You never told me your own name, - brother."
The blood gu fish turned around with a sense of feeling, and rubbed Ji Xuan's hand with his head again, as if urging something.
"No, not yet, not yet."
Ji Xuan's eyes were firmly fixed on the figure in the picture, and finally he no longer suppressed the emotions in his eyes, the paranoid and crazy possessiveness, and the terrifying desire that seemed to be suffocating spread, he slowly and gently spread. Say:
"I scare him away once and I won't allow this to happen again, so take it slow..."
He restrained the trembling of his fingertips, his scarlet eyes rolled with blood, and said softly:
"Don't be too hasty."
