After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

Chapter 44: Stay away from neuropathy

Views:

The young man raised his head, his dark red eyes were dark and deep, and the depths of his pupils reflected the cold face of the young man in front of him, as if the whole world was filled with only one person in front of him.

He obediently placed his neck on the blade of the young man in front of him, with an intimate smile on his lips.

It's like completely handing over your life and death in the hands of the other party and letting anyone take it.

The two faced each other silently, and the atmosphere in the air was frozen and suppressed, making people breathless.

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes expressionlessly, and said coldly:

"You think I'll be soft-hearted?"

The blade in his hand is approaching a few points again.

The light of the knife was as cold as silver, and Sen Han's blade cut through the slender neck of the young man.

A scarlet thin wound appeared on the pale skin, and it looked more and more shocking under the dim light. A trace of blood oozes out, like a scarlet blood snake, spitting out letters, slowly winding along the line of the teenager's neck. down, swimming under the neckline.

The other side can't avoid it.

The young boy's voice was slightly hoarse, with a slightly aggrieved nasal voice: "How could it be..."

He raised his hand, his slender fingers unbuttoned one by one, and the snow-white neckline of the shirt was spread out, revealing the thin collarbone and chest.

The blade moved forward subconsciously.

The knife edge was deeper, and the blood between Ji Xuan's neck became more turbulent.

Ye Jia was stunned.

The inhuman voice fluctuated a bit:

"… what are you doing?"

I saw a deep scar etched on the thin chest of the young man, and it looked particularly dazzling on the smooth and pale skin. The location was precise, and it was straight to the point. It could be seen that the person who started the attack was definitely not soft at all.

Fresh blood flowed down and landed on the wound that had healed, like tears of blood that were about to drop.

Ji Xuan raised his hand to caress his heart, and got closer again, the smile on his lips became more and more brilliant:

"Look, I keep all the gifts my brother gave me."

"If you're soft-hearted, it's not your brother." The young man tilted his head, with a bit of naive cruelty in his expression.

The next second, he didn't hesitate to slam into the blade in Ye Jia's hand with his neck.

Ye Jia was caught off guard.

He only had time to virtualize the weapon in his hand, but he didn't have time to retract the action.

Ji Xuan smiled and put his cheek against the other's palm, rubbed slowly and intimately, and the cold and soft thin lips stayed on the other's warm skin for two seconds without a trace.

Ye Jia suddenly pushed the other side away as if he was scalded.

Fortunately, Ji Xuan is not an adult now, and he staggered back a few steps under his heavy push.

Ye Jia stared at him, seemingly unbelievable, and it took a long time to squeeze a few words out of his teeth:

"Neuropathy."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards his apartment without looking back.

Ji Xuan hurriedly followed, but the door that was closing in on him was approaching, and with a merciless "bang", he almost hit him in the face.

He touched the tip of his nose, which almost hit the door, thoughtfully.

… Seems a little too much

But before he could come up with something, the door in front of him suddenly opened again without warning.

The boy raised his head, a hint of joy flashed in his scarlet eyes.

But before he could speak, he saw a pitch-black object thrown from the door.

Ye Jia's icy, gnashing voice sounded:

"Take your fish."

The next second, only to hear a "bang", the door closed again mercilessly.

Ji Xuan lowered his head and looked at the blood Gu fish in his palm.

"...how did you become so small?"

Ji Xuan frowned, looking at the blood Gu fish that was only the size of a palm.

Although the normal blood Gu fish is obedient, it is still a noble and arrogant race in the final analysis, it is almost impossible for it to abandon its face and make it smaller.

The blood gu fish flicked its tail, and glanced at the master who had turned into a young man in front of him with dark eyes, and seemed to say:

Aren't you too

Ji Xuan: "..."

The blood Guyu turned his head pitifully and glanced at the tightly closed door behind him.

As if convinced that the other party would never open the door again, it wagged its tail in despair, became its previous size, and swam out through the walls of the building.

The slender boy stood alone in the empty corridor.

Ji Xuan stretched out his hand and gently wiped the wound on his neck.

The bleeding stopped, but the hideous blade was still there.

There was a faint pain in the wound, as addictive as a stimulant, making his nerve endings shudder with excitement.

The scarlet tongue gently licked the blood from the fingertips,

The smile on the boy's lips deepened, his dark red eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of madness loomed in the depths of his eyes.

Good night, brother.

inside the room.

The running water of the faucet rushed down, Ye Jia lowered his eyes expressionlessly, frowned irritably, even though the back of his originally pale hand was rubbed red, it didn't stop.

The little black hand shrank in fear and leaned over cautiously.

It doesn't really know what just happened.

As soon as Ye Jia stopped, he smelled the breath of a powerful ghost.

Thinking about Ji Xuan's threat last time, the little black hand slid into the wall - let the bosses solve the matter between the bosses. it is good.

Although the little black hand didn't know what happened just now, it was the first time that Ye Jia was so emotional.

It asked cautiously, "What, what's the matter? Are you all right?"

Ye Jia turned off the faucet and wiped his wet hands on the towel.

Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and slanted towards the little black hand with a murderous look.

The little black hand suddenly trembled, and subconsciously stuck to the wall.

Ye Jia sneered: "I'm fine."

Little Black Hand: "..."

Why doesn't it sound credible at all

The little black hand squatted on the table with a broken leg and thought about it for two seconds.

According to the current situation, Wang's love for ace is definitely unfinished. Although the little black hand doesn't know what happened, but no matter what, it is still ready to ease their relationship - after all, the gods fight, and the mortals suffer!

It racked its brains and finally decided to take a detour.

The little black hand said, "That... In fact, the king is not that bad..."

Ye Jia raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing coldly: "It's not that bad?!"

Little Black Hand: "..."

Silently shrink.

I seem to have said something wrong, huh.

Ye Jia took a deep breath, as if suppressing some overly irritable emotions, and then said through gritted teeth:

"He's a lunatic."

It was before, and it is now.

And after a few years of not seeing him, he got sicker.

Little Black Hand was determined to avoid this dangerous topic: "Then... what are you going to do next?"

Ye Jia: "Stay away from neuropathy."

Little Black Hand: "..."

How can I answer this!

Ye Jia walked out of the bathroom and looked around the room where he was almost destroyed by the bloody fish.

Most of the furniture is almost destroyed. Fortunately, the bedroom is independent, and most of the items inside have escaped. In any case, at least it can barely live.

Ye Jia raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows with some headache.

The fingertips washed by the cold water pressed against the eyebrows, which gradually cooled down his intense emotions just now.

- It has to be said that Ji Xuan's interruption brought him back from the trance state in the morgue.

It also made Ye Jia clearly realize that although he really wanted to find out about his parents, it was already decades ago, and most of the clues had been erased. The only connection between the murder case and the current situation is the skinned Specter, but it has disappeared for a long time. Ye Jia knows that he has no other way but to wait.

Moreover, there are more urgent things waiting for him to do now.

According to Ji Xuan's information - if he hadn't lied - the mother was still planning bigger moves and wasn't ready to stop.

And humanity is now unprepared for that.

Whether it is at the information level or at the military level, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

If the mother decides to do another Hundred Ghosts Night Walk in another city, they will have no way to resist.

The top priority now is to improve human coping capabilities.

Suddenly, Ye Jia seemed to think of something.

He walked quickly towards the bedside table, pulled open the cabinet with a missing corner, and revealed the prop paper used to communicate with Wu Su.

The above information is from two hours ago.

It should have been a message from the other party asking for a meeting when he went to the morgue.

Ye Jia sighed silently.

It's about time.

·

pier.

Wu Su hurriedly came here alone.

There was a sound of waves from the dark sea, and the sky above was pitch black. There was no moon, and only a few remnant stars dotted the sky.

From a distance, he could see a slender young man standing at the end of the road, waiting quietly, how tall his stature was like a silhouette on the night, he looked so quiet and peaceful, and the sharpness and ruthlessness of last night. Li is different, but equally reassuring.

Wu Su took a deep breath, and the salty, wet and cold air poured into his chest, but he still couldn't suppress his surging emotions.

He stepped forward quickly.

After a short conversation, Wu Su told Ye Jia that a high-level Specter wanted to seek cooperation with them: "The above has agreed to his demands, and has found someone to connect with him, but I still want to hear from you. Views."

Ye Jia was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Be careful."

Although he really didn't want to cooperate with Ji Xuan, let alone have anything to do with this neuropathy, he had to admit that the other party's proposal was indeed timely for them now.

The people in the administration do not know Ji Xuan's identity, but Ye Jia knows.

As the king, he is closer to the heart of the puzzle than all the ghosts.

Therefore, it is very irrational to refuse the olive branch extended by the other party now.

Ye Jia asked: "How are you going to deal with the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk in M City?"

Wu Su: "There is no way to hide the existence of supernatural creatures, especially after last night, it seems that the ghosts and monsters all over the country are active, and there are endless supernatural events in various places, basically all the media are reporting, so the above decided to disclose the supernatural. The existence of the Administration, and more branch outposts have been set up in various places to deal with supernatural events."

"What about the game?" Ye Jia narrowed his eyes.

Wu Su shook his head and sighed: "The above is not going to be made public."

- Supernatural beings don't exist only in fictional fantasy works.

This incident has subverted the imagination of most ordinary people, people are panicking, the residents are all in danger, and the whole society is on the verge of turmoil.

So now the government can't tell the people that there is a mysterious game that has been pulling people into the terrible death game for the past few decades, and it collapsed a month and a half ago, killing all kinds of monsters in it. Released, to harm the world.

"However," Wu Su said, "at least we can openly recruit people now."

He sighed: "All of our departments have been operating under overload for more than two months, and in addition to what happened last night, we can't ignore the shortage of manpower now. The recruiting method simply does not meet our current needs.”

Therefore, at the same time as the existence of the Supernatural Administration was announced, the upper level also issued an announcement to recruit people.

Although it was just posted this afternoon, so far, the bureau has received as many applications as snowflakes.

Wu Su added:

"Although a large part of the applicants are occult fans and conspiracy theorists so far, there are also many people who seriously want to join. We reviewed a resume this afternoon, and the interview will start tomorrow. It can start, and when the first batch of personnel is trained, it should relieve our current pressure a little."

Ye Jia nodded thoughtfully.

He handed Wu Su a piece of paper: "When the announcement is made, you can print this in the corner of the recruitment brochure in M city."

Wu Su took the paper and looked down.

The paper looks exceptionally white under the starlight, and the lines on it become exceptionally clear even in the dark.

It looks complicated and weird, like some kind of weird text, and like rose branches entangled with each other, showing a strange and beautiful meaning.

Wu Su recognized that in the corners of the center of the patterns, three variants of letters were tangled:

ace.

He was shocked and looked up at Ye Jia suddenly: "This, this is...?"

In the game, only the top 100 players in the rankings will have a code name.

Once the points are sufficient, the game will randomly assign them corresponding codenames based on their past performance. Then this code name will appear on the ranking list visible in the whole server. Along with the code name, it is a symbol of identity.

This is equivalent to their respective unique personal signatures, which generally no one dares to copy and embezzle.

There is a bounty system in the game.

Whether it is points or energy, it can be exchanged for one-to-one currency in the game.

Specter uses energy to exchange currency, and offers rewards for players' limbs or lives on the dark list. The game will dynamically settle the reward price, sort by the total reward price, and summarize the hatred list.

Players can also exchange points for currency, post tasks on the list, request transactions or find teammates.

Both lists are public, which means that if the signature of one of the players is stolen to publish information, the ghosts who hope to get the bounty on the dark list will also follow.

After all, most players with signatures are not low on the hate list.

No one wants to help others with hatred.

Players with higher rankings are less likely to use their signatures to release information, because this is equivalent to exposing their whereabouts.

For so many years in the game, Wu Su has never seen ace's autograph.

He is a famous loner who never actively seeks out teammates and never posts anything on the list.

In addition, in the game, killing a player can get all his points.

Therefore, as ace's position in the standings is getting higher and higher, there are even more players staring at him than Specter, and no one dares to copy his signature.

- This is the first time Wu Su has the honor to see ace's exclusive decoration.

As a player, he is very aware of the meaning behind the opponent's move.

You must know that the higher the ranking in the game and the longer the player stays, the more unique their temperament will be.

Although there are many players who joined the Supernatural Administration with Wu Su, their ranking in the standings is not high.

Those real bigwigs are basically incognito and disappeared.

Therefore, although the recruitment information of the Supernatural Administration has been posted now, Wu Su does not expect them to appear. At most, he only hopes that there will be more new forces to deal with the chores that are now piled up, as well as some low-level supernatural events— If they are facing high-level Specter, they are still extremely weak.

And now, with ace's signature, everything is different.

As the only player to clear the game from the game, the appeal of his ornamentation is terrifying.

— That said, they might actually be able to pull up a team that has plenty of experience fighting monsters in the game.

Wu Su was dizzy at the thought.

He carefully held the piece of paper in his hand, his heart was pounding, and his throat was a little dry: "You..."

Ye Jia interrupted him and said:

"However, you have to think about it."

- After all, it's not just players that this signature attracts.

It was as if a bucket of cold water had thrown Wu Su's head awake.

ace has been in the game for so many years and has made countless hatreds. Moreover, before the game crashed, he also offered a reward to the ghost king Ji Xuan and successfully reached the top of the hatred list.

He was in a tangle.

Now that the game has crashed, and the competitive relationship between players has disappeared, so it shouldn't matter too much on the player side.

However, Li Gui is completely different.

Wu Su is not a ghost after all, so I don't know if the Specter who left the game still recognizes the hatred list.

Ye Jia thought for a while: "You don't need to worry about the hate list."

Wu Su breathed a sigh of relief.

However, then only listened to the other side say: "What you need to worry about is whether those Specters who have made enemies with me in the game will find them."

Wu Su: "..."

Trembling heart, trembling hands.

Seeing Wu Su's tangled face, Ye Jia said understandingly:

"You don't have to give me an answer now, go back and think about it, and tell me after you make a decision."

After parting with Wu Su, Ye Jia turned around and went to the warehouses he had been to before, and checked it carefully.

Everything inside was emptied, whether it was the water tank with the monsters or the container with the human skins.

Even the traces of the fight with the fake blood gu fish were cleaned up.

Obviously, the other party did it by taking advantage of the chaos in the city that was disturbed by the ghosts at night. They dealt with it very thoroughly, leaving almost no traces. Ye Jia wrote down the numbers of the warehouses and prepared the first one. Check the following at the bureau in two days.

However, based on how cautious the other party was in this regard, he doubted whether he could find any useful information.

After leaving the dock, Ye Jia returned to his apartment.

He has been working hard for days on end.

Although the whole room was still a mess, he didn't have much energy to manage.

Ye Jia simply took a shower, and then walked towards his own bed that could be considered complete.

However, as soon as he sat on the bed, the little black hand came over and said, "That human replied."

Ye Jia raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It has only been less than two hours, and the other party has already made a decision

The little black hand handed over the piece of paper.

"My superiors and I reported your suggestion, and they think it's feasible." Wu Su's voice came from the piece of paper: "After all, you can't get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den. If you don't mobilize all possible forces, human beings will not be able to. Resist the monsters in the game, and the mother who is eyeing the world... Although it is very risky, it is a pity that we have no choice."

Ye Jia asked: "Then I am your non-staff now?"

Wu Su was taken aback: "...It should be counted."

Ye Jia smiled and said, "Then let's talk about treatment now." Ji Xuan's extra income is probably not worth it, and he really doesn't want to experience the days of free double work.

Wu Su: "..."

?

The conversation gets too fast like a tornado.

·

After Wu Su's discussion was over, the piece of paper burned automatically in the palm of his hand, and the bright red flame reflected in the eyes of the young man, like a golden-red butterfly flapping its wings.

The fire gradually went out.

The room darkened again, and the edge of the inky sky outside the window showed a faint hint of dark blue, signaling the dawn of dawn.

The gray-blue light came in from the window, making the small bedroom become hazy.

Ye Jia lowered his eyes, he patted the ashes from his palm, and then sighed slowly.

Now that Wu Su agreed with his suggestion, he must deal with the issue of the hate list.

There are already quite a few of his enemies. If there are more ghosts who are attracted to M City by their interests, it will be difficult for them to deal with such a huge group of ghosts.

- Just said to stay away from mental illness, and it turned out that less than half the night had passed before he had to break his oath.

The previous confrontation in the corridor flashed in his mind, and Ye Jia felt his head start to hurt.

Or... Let's talk about it in two days

Anyway, Wu Su will not immediately issue the second batch of announcements.

Besides, he is really sleepy now.

Ye Jia yawned, blinked his eyes that became a little hazy because of sleepiness, and then fell backwards and threw himself into the bed.

The next second - only to hear a "click", the four legs of the entire bed were overwhelmed and broken.

The bed board slammed to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.

Ye Jia lay in the ruins and looked at the ceiling calmly.

The drowsiness had long since disappeared without a trace.

—Now he has a second reason to seek Ji Xuan.
