Never has a night been so long for M City.
The morning light on the horizon illuminated the entire city. The streets that were clean and tidy were now devastated. The black and red viscous liquid mixed together, dried up on the road, and evaporated a rancid and rancid smell.
Although the army of ghosts has disappeared, for the Supernatural Administration, their work has just begun.
After a whole night of fighting, the members of the Authority did not even have time to rest, and were dispatched to all corners of the city non-stop to deal with and solve the follow-up problems caused by the wide opening of the ghost gates.
Specter's remnant body must be recovered as soon as possible, otherwise the yin and malice in it will melt and penetrate into the air, bringing more hidden dangers that cannot be dealt with.
In addition, it is necessary to clean up the remaining wandering spirit monsters, and count the casualties and losses of combatants.
Phones in police stations and hospitals were almost blown, and there were civilians in need of medical treatment and help everywhere.
Moreover, the scope of the mutation this time was too large. An entire city lost its connection with the outside world and became a ghost overnight. This kind of thing could not be concealed.
The existence of supernatural creatures is completely exposed, and the entire human world will be shaken by this, and people will never return to the illusory and peaceful life before.
Just like dominoes, as long as the first piece falls, no one can control the chain reaction that may follow.
The phone in the Office of the Occult Bureau kept ringing, and the upper management of the M City Branch reported to the headquarters, contacting other agencies and social media, trying to control the explosion of information within their control.
Snowflakes of battle reports and follow-up feedback flew into the office, where the presence of a mysterious person appeared more than once.
It was a young man wearing a hood and unable to see his face clearly. He was holding a huge crescent-shaped sickle. His whereabouts were unpredictable, but his strength was as strong as that of a Grade A Specter, and he could almost withstand the firepower of the whole night.
The same question crossed everyone's mind.
Who is he
Why does it appear without warning and disappear without warning
the most important is…
Where is he now
·
A building in the middle of the city.
At this normal time, people who go to work have already arrived, making the entire business district bustling again, but at this moment, the entire building, including the entire business district outside the building, is empty.
Under the sunlight, the mutilated corpses of countless monsters turned into black-gray smoke and rose, covering a radius of hundreds of meters in a thick stench.
However, the neighborhood of that building was completely different.
With it as the center, there is a huge void, like the eye of a tornado, the ground is clean, and there is no bloody stump.
Deep in the hall, the smooth floor is spotless, and the light can be seen.
Compared with the bright sunshine outside the building, it still looks a little cold and bleak.
A blood gu fish floated quietly in midair, tilting the huge goat skull, staring at the silent human being in front of him doubtfully.
I don't know why, the other party has been motionless for a long time.
The young man lowered his eyes, his feet seemed to have taken root, and he stood fixedly in the empty hall. There was no superfluous expression on his pale face, as if he had deliberately hidden the thoughts of countless waves. Under the calm surface, he habitually built a thick high wall to hide all his true emotions under it.
However, even though his face was expressionless, the Blood Gu Yu could still be sensitive to the fact that a gloomy coldness infiltrated from the opponent's body, causing the surrounding temperature to decrease.
The blood Gu fish leaned forward and carefully pressed his head against the opponent's hand.
Ye Jia finally pulled out of his thoughts.
He lowered his eyes to look at the blood Gu fish beside him, and touched its head lightly with his fingers.
A pair of light-colored eyes hides some kind of dark emotion in the depths, as if before the storm, the gray sky is approaching the night.
After stripping out all the previous details and carefully stroked it once, Ye Jia is now very sure—
Although I don't know why, Ji Xuan recognized himself from the beginning.
However, what Ye Jia couldn't figure out was that since the other party already knew his identity, why didn't he do it
—Even if you carefully, little by little, look at every minute and every second after you and the other party met, you still can’t get a perfect answer.
Ye Jia thoughtfully scratched the blood Gu Yu's chin.
Seeing that it had once again attracted the attention of its favorite human, it quickly put the doubts behind it, moved its tail forward again, and turned over in the air to make the other person scratch more smoothly.
But Ye Jia lowered his eyes and didn't look at it, as if he had fallen deeply into his own thoughts again.
- What if you can't figure it out
He asked himself cruelly:
-Why are you still so naive and stupid, trying to understand the thinking logic of a Specter
Ye Jia's eyes looked slightly cold, like frost that didn't melt for a long time.
In my memory, that thin little boy always followed him closely, raised a pair of clear black eyes, and looked at him with trust and reliance, as if he was looking at his own world, he pulled it with his cold little hands. Holding Ye Jia's wrist, the small body leaned over intimately and softly called "Brother".
There is no trust in the game.
This is the only iron rule.
However, he ignored this iron rule and unknowingly handed over his trust, whether in the dungeon, or when he was chased by other players in the entire game after getting the "tooth", he was wholehearted. He protects the child who will call him "brother", and even feels guilty and regretful for implicated in the other party.
He kept a poisonous snake by his side and blindly thought it was his companion.
He had loved this child so much, and it hurt so much when he was betrayed by him.
At the last moment, Ye Jia realized that from the beginning to the end, everything was a game specially designed for him, and he fell into it without hesitation.
So in the final decisive battle, he personally killed Ji Xuan.
At the same time, he stabbed to death the once soft and blind self.
But I didn't expect that the other party not only didn't die, but also chased into the real world.
Ye Jia once again reviewed what happened after he and the other party met.
- Including his own cautious concessions, and his hypocritical closeness to the other party.
Ye Jia's breathing fluctuated a little.
He raised his lips, the corners of his lips pulled upward, and he slowly revealed a faint smile.
Seeing his smile, the little black hand in the distance shivered involuntarily, leaned back subconsciously, and pressed against the wall tightly.
There was no smile in Ye Jia's eyes, only a burning cold anger.
What other reason could there be for not doing it for so long
It's just to satisfy Li Gui's malicious desire, to see him suffer and struggle again.
Ye Jia squatted down and gently touched the belly of the bloody fish, the smile on his lips was extraordinarily bright:
"Follow me from now on."
Blood Gu Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, then rubbed his body excitedly, as if he was very happy with the proposal.
The smile on Ye Jia's lips deepened, he caressed the blood Gu fish casually, and the shape of a sickle slowly condensed in the other hand.
As for your other master...
After today, he will no longer exist.
·
Little Black Hand would never have thought that things would develop in such a wild horse-like direction.
It doesn't know what Ye Jia thought just now.
It only knew that after the other party stood there for a while, without knowing why, his anger suddenly rose from his heart, his wickedness turned to courage, and he walked out with a knife.
The little black hand didn't have time to ignore the ban given by the king now. He hurriedly jumped on Ye Jia's shoulder, grabbed his collar, and asked cautiously, "Big boss, where are we going?"
Ye Jia smiled and said, "Kill the ghost."
The little black hand looked stupid: "Kill, kill who?"
Ye Jia: "Ji Xuan."
Little Black Hand: "..."
play ball.
The dog blood Xiao Huangwen is going to change back to the revenge murder text.
Ye Jia first brought the blood gu fish back to his home, so that it would not come out with him.
After all, the blood Gu fish has been with Ji Xuan for a longer time. Ye Jia didn’t think that once he and Ji Xuan’s soldiers met, the blood Gu fish would still help him, so he just let him not participate and stayed outside the battle situation. .
Immediately afterwards, he turned his breath to cover, and spread out a ghostly creature toward one of Ji Xuan's places in his memory.
The inside of the mythical creature was scarlet, and the walls on both sides still covered Ye Jia's ghostly creature completely.
The little black hand clenched his collar tightly and stammered in his ear to persuade him, hoping to dispel Ye Jia's impulsiveness.
Ye Jia glanced at it: "If you are afraid of being implicated, I will put you down before I see Ji Xuan."
Little Black Hand: "..."
Ye Jia continued calmly: "Don't worry, even if I lose, it will be good for you, the connection on us will disappear, and you will be free."
Little Black Hand wants to cry but has no tears: "..."
It doesn't mean that ah ah ah!
Soon, the originally not short distance became close at hand under the ghost, Ye Jia stepped out of the ghost and came to the place where he last saw Ji Xuan.
The luxurious hall was still dimly lit, but it was empty, and the blood pool on the ground was equally empty.
Ye Jia looked around.
Ji Xuan is not here.
However, before he could do anything, in the corner, a black monster with viscous liquid flowing down suddenly rushed towards him.
Ye Jia flashed to the side sharply, and a sharp cold light flashed from the sharp blade in his hand.
Hearing a sound of breaking through the air, the monster was cut in half by a sharp blade and fell to the ground twitching.
It has seven or eight huge eyes all over its body, and each eyeball is black, but the black layer is covered with a strange red blood mist, even for Specter, its state is still Something is not quite right.
What's more, the strange thing is that the weapon he used was "tooth", but he didn't feel the opponent's power being eaten into his body.
Ye Jia frowned slightly, lowered his head, and moved the monster gently with his toes.
The next second, the opponent's body shattered and turned into dust.
Ye Jia was slightly startled.
At this moment, the sound of the door being pushed open came from behind: "Aiya! Aye! You are here!"
This elated voice, who can be except Ami.
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look behind him.
Ami's figure is still blurred like a shadow, and his facial features are not clear, but he can clearly distinguish his happiness: "I contacted you for a long time and haven't found you, I thought you were killed in that rebellion. Killed!"
Rebellion
Ye Jia was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Indeed, the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk last night was initiated by the Lord of the Flies, but for Ji Xuan, it could be regarded as a rebellion.
He asked calmly, "Do you know where the king is?"
Ami said of course: "On the other side of the battlefield."
Ye Jia frowned: "But the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts is over."
How can there be a battlefield
"Yeah, the rebellion last night has been suppressed, and all Wang's subordinates have been sent out..." Ami rambled.
Ye Jia: "... where was he sent?"
"Xicheng District." Ami returned.
A stunned look flashed in Ye Jia's eyes.
He was in Dongcheng District last night.
He has the communication equipment of the management bureau in his hand. The more news about calling for help and asking for help, the more he will go, so he basically wandered in Dongcheng District last night... Ye Jia thought it was because of the high-level ghosts in Dongcheng District. More, I didn't expect... But it was because Ji Xuan's subordinates were devouring the ghosts in Xicheng District
"How many humans died?" Ye Jia asked abruptly.
Ami didn't seem to expect Ye Jia to ask this question, he was stunned, and then said, "I don't know..."
Before Ye Jia could say anything, Ami continued: "After all, we don't know how many people those rebel ghosts ate."
Ye Jia: "...you didn't eat?"
"The king will not let you." Ami replied without thinking: "After all, our purpose is the rebels, and their number is enough for us to eat."
When it was done, it burped contentedly.
"Oh, yes!" Ami seemed to remember what she was going to do: "Quick, let's go to the battlefield, there is a shortage of manpower, I thought there were not many left, but I didn't expect you Still, you are so strong, you should be able to help a lot!"
Ye Jia was dragged forward unexpectedly.
Ami tore open the mythical creature, and one person and one ghost walked into it.
Ami's mythical creature is pure black, just like its race, lurking and surviving in the shadows.
Looking at Ami walking in front of him, Ye Jia asked: "Since... the rebellion last night has ended, what about now? What is the reason for this battle now?"
Ami tore open the mythical creature and replied:
"It's mother."
Its voice visibly dropped.
- This is the second time Ye Jia has heard this word. The last time at the dock, it was the word that came out of the mouth of Lord of the Flies.
He repeated: "…Mother?"
Ami nodded: "Yes."
"Last night's Hundred Ghosts Night Walk was directly ordered by the mother, but the king disobeyed the mother's order..." It sighed: "So, this is the mother's punishment."
At this moment, Ye Jia has completely stepped out of Ami's ghost.
He stared at the shocking scene in front of him and subconsciously held his breath.
- He has been completely unable to tell where this place is, is it the human world? Or a ghost? is reality? Or a game
Covering the sky and covering the sun, the mountains and plains are all densely packed with the kind of monsters he had seen in the hall before.
Black and foul-smelling mucus was flowing all over his body, and several huge eyes were split open on his body.
These monsters are different in size. The small ones are only as big as fingernails, while the larger ones are as large as several buildings.
However, there was no Yin Qi on them, but another evil and chaotic aura, which Ye Jia couldn't tell, but instinctively felt repulsive.
In the dark sea of monsters, Ji Xuan's subordinates looked particularly conspicuous. They fought back hard, but the monsters in front of them seemed to never decrease, rushing towards them layer by layer.
These monsters are irrational and feel no pain.
After death, it will turn into dust, and if you eat them, it will not be converted into any energy. Even if it is not as powerful as the B-level A-level Specter, it is enough to forcefully engulf a force completely.
Ye Jia retracted his gaze, covering up the complicated look in his eyes.
He raised his voice and asked, "Where is the king?"
Ami sneaked up and pointed to the top.
Above the head, there was a faint scarlet red through the dense black monsters, and there were still more monsters rushing towards the red.
Ye Jia stepped on his feet and jumped up lightly. He stepped on the bodies of the monsters around him and jumped upwards. He easily solved the monsters that were rushing towards him, and approached the scarlet color.
Sure enough, Ji Xuan is here.
He was alone, standing there calmly in the air, his slender figure stood out among the hideous monsters, and behind him were blood-red turbulent waves, mercilessly devouring any monsters who dared to step forward.
His face was pale, his scarlet eyes were dark and deep, and he stared indifferently at the huge monster in front of him.
That monster was the size of a football field, covering the sky and the sun, with countless huge boils protruding from its body, gurgling longing for the viscous juice, it stared at Ji Xuan in front of it with its pair of violent eyeballs, A hoarse growl came out of his mouth.
Compared with it, Ji Xuan looked so small, as if he would be crushed by it in an instant.
Unexpectedly, the monster's face split open with a huge terrifying mouth, like an abyss.
As it slowly approached Ji Xuan, it opened its mouth.
A strange and low voice, as if roaring, poured out of its mouth, but the tone was extraordinarily kind and gentle. Under the contrast between the two sides, there was a kind of weirdness and terror that could not be ignored:
"my child… "
Is this "mother"
An idea flashed through Ye Jia's mind quickly, but he was immediately rejected by him.
Not too possible.
It's more like the tool that conveys the mother's voice.
Ye Jia easily chopped up several monsters approaching him, but his attention has been focused on the conversation not far away.
"...Although your promise has not been fulfilled." The monster approached slowly, and every eye on his body was looking at Ji Xuan: "But I will always love you both unconditionally, so don't betray my trust again."
After speaking, the mouth closed again, as if it had never appeared before.
It was once again a whole body full of slime.
Then, as if it had finally lost its confinement, it started to attack Ji Xuan frantically, the huge eyeballs on its body trembled, and an irrational madness flashed inside.
Ye Jia was taken aback by its sudden attack.
It seemed that although "mother" said that she would love him forever and would give him another chance, she still did not hesitate to punish him.
Ji Xuan didn't seem to be surprised by this.
He dodged and responded, and the sea of blood around him continued to devour the surrounding monsters.
But... I don't know if it was Ye Jia's illusion, he always felt that something was wrong with Ji Xuan's state.
As a Specter, his complexion is always pale, but from the beginning, Ye Jia discovered that the huge and powerful ghost around Ji Xuan was no longer so oppressive, as if... he had been severely injured before.
Originally, Ye Jia was not very sure, but now seeing the other party's slightly reluctant response, everything is no longer in doubt.
And the monster also realized it.
Its attack became more and more frantic, and the dark and red eyes flashed with a violent greed. Ji Xuan had to separate a part of the blood-colored waves behind him to clean up the monster group to block in front of him to block the opponent's offensive.
In this way, his back inevitably loses a certain degree of protection.
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes, his fingers resting on the hilt of the scythe, and the blade flashed a ruthless cold light.
- Ji Xuan is not in a good state now, which is a good thing for him.
how simple.
No matter how much hypocrisy, how many lies.
With a knife, the grievances are gone.
He finally solved the serious troubles of mankind, and was able to avenge his own betrayal.
What a breeze.
The other monsters also seemed to have noticed the hole in the defense behind the opponent, so they rushed towards him like a wave, but Ji Xuan seemed to have eyes behind his back, crushing them all—
The huge monster seized the opportunity, stretched out several thick tentacles from its body full of pitch-black mucus, broke the air, and charged straight towards Ji Xuan.
The blow was blocked again.
Those tentacles were broken at the root, struggling and twisting and falling.
However, the defensive gap behind the man has expanded again, and the blood wave that rushed forward has not yet recovered.
More monsters rushed towards him.
If he wants to block this wave, it will inevitably expose the weakest position.
-It's now.
This moment is fleeting.
If you want to kill him, there is no better chance than this.
The cold light came out of its sheath, pierced the sky silently, and streaked forward like a meteor, as sharp as it could cut through the air and crush cause and effect—
"呲-"
If Ji Xuan felt something, he turned his head and looked behind him.
The shattered monster's body turned into dust and fell down.
Other than that, there is no shadow.
·
In an empty room.
The blood gu fish that was coiled up in a ball raised his head and looked in one direction.
It swung its tail and swam forward.
In the corner in front of me, the slender figure of the young man slowly emerged from the darkness.
He crouched down and touched the blood Gu Yu's head.
The young man's voice was very low, with a little bit of unwillingness and coldness:
"... For your own sake, let him go this time."
