The air was dead silent.
Wu Su blinked slowly, doubting his hearing a little: "That... what did you say?"
The man on the opposite side sat upright, helped his glasses frame, and patiently repeated: "Seeking revenge..."
Wu Su: "…"
How can this be done!
Just when he was stunned and at a loss, the door of the interview room was knocked.
Three polite thumps broke the awkward atmosphere in the room, which tended to stagnate. Wu Su seemed to be rescued, and hurriedly shouted: "Please come in!"
With light hair and light eyes, the slender young man walked in with a stack of documents.
Ye Jia: "Wu team, this is..."
The man in the suit turned to look at the door, and the two looked at each other.
Ye Jia: "..."
Wu Su stood up, walked quickly to Ye Jia, took the stack of documents from his hand, coughed lightly, and asked, "Is it urgent?"
Ye Jia came back to his senses: "Actually..."
Just some daily documents, just sign it.
However, when his eyes touched Wu Su's frantically blinking eyelids as if cramping, the words on his lips turned sharply: "Yes..."
Wu Su breathed a sigh of relief, took the stack of documents from his hand, and then turned to look at red who was sitting upright on the other side of the table: "Cough, I'm sorry, there may be something I need to deal with now, so let's go first. and… "
Wu Su's eyes were fixed on the innocent Ye Jia, and he had an idea: "You talk to him first! I'll be right back!"
red nodded: "Okay, you can walk slowly."
After that, Wu Su rushed out of the room as if his eyebrows were on fire - he had to contact ace immediately.
There is absolutely no way to hide such a bizarre development right now.
And... he really doesn't know how to deal with it!
—However, ace himself was standing in the interview room, looking at each other with red who came to interview.
Ye Jia: "..."
oh grass...
In fact, he just arrived at the Administration.
Although the passage of time of the ghost can be controlled, the length of half a year is really not short. Even if it is placed in the real world, it will take several days to get the result, so Ye Jia is not going to wait there until the puppet master gives him an answer, but let Ji Xuan I came to contact him as soon as I got the result, and he pulled away the ghost and came to the management office to start his daily work, but who would have thought...
As soon as he came, Liu Zhaocheng stuffed a stack of documents and asked him to send them to Wu Su.
- Then, such a bad situation happened without warning.
Ye Jia bit the bullet and sat in Wu Su's previous position, then lowered his head, and symbolically flipped through the resume in front of him.
His eyes stayed on the first page for a moment.
Next to the expressionless one-inch portrait with black-rimmed glasses, the interviewee's name was written:
Chen Qingye…
It was his name.
Ye Jia raised his eyes and looked towards red who was sitting across the table.
His face was exactly the same as in the one-inch portrait, his suit was meticulous, without any wrinkles, his hands were on his knees, his sitting posture and expression were the same.
He was obviously not prepared to cover his breath from the beginning.
Therefore, although it is completely different from the appearance in the game, Ye Jia still matched him with the player in his memory the moment he saw him.
red, tenth in the standings.
A... very indescribable person.
In fact, after sending out his signature, Ye Jia thought that this person would be found, but what he did not expect was that red would come so quickly.
Ye Jia bit his head and asked: "Then... May I ask what position you are applying for?"
Chen Qingye: "Apart from looking for someone?"
He thought about it for a while, and said with a straight face: "If possible, I would like to be a member of the logistics department of your bureau. If possible, try not to fight, but please believe me, I have sufficient experience in dealing with supernatural events. Deal with all kinds of trials, so even if I don't fight, I can contribute a lot to your game."
Ye Jia: "..."
While he was racking his brains to figure out what to ask next, Wu Su pushed the door open from the outside and came in.
He looked a little absent-minded, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and the smell of the flames still lingered on his fingertips.
Ye Jia knew at a glance that Wu Su should have tried to contact him just now.
But... Apparently, he didn't get a reply from ace.
Ye Jia stood up in relief and stepped aside: "Wu team, you sit."
Wu Su smashed the cigarette in his mouth and sat down in that position: "What are you... talking about?"
Ye Jia: "This... Mr. Chen wants to apply for a position in the logistics department."
Wu Su: "What?!"
He widened his eyes sharply, raised his head, and the smoke tapped out of his mouth and rolled on the table.
Wu Su didn't pick it up, but looked at Chen Qingye sitting in front of him in disbelief: "Wait... Logistics Department? Are you not going to enter the combat department?"
When Wu Su was stunned by the sudden fact, Ye Jia took the opportunity to open the door and slip out.
Chen Qingye's eyes followed the other person's figure until the door closed, completely blocking the young man's back.
Wu Su's voice sounded in front: "Are you serious? Logistics?"
Chen Qingye's attention was drawn back.
He turned his head to look at Wu Su, who was shocked in front of him, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I don't think the logistics department is a dispensable existence. Its importance in the entire system is not weaker than that of the combat department. If I get into the back office, I'm sure I can play to all my strengths."
As he spoke, he patiently smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.
Wu Su still had difficulty accepting the fact: "But... but... "
Although I said so, the logistics department and the combat department are equally important, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the combat department is the core department of the entire management bureau, and now that ghosts are running around everywhere, the combat department bears the greatest pressure. , the manpower is also the most in short supply, and as the top ten leader in the standings, red can only exert his greatest ability in the combat department!
At this moment, Chen Qingye asked thoughtfully, "By the way, who was that person just now?"
Wu Su has not yet recovered from the shock, he said absently, "He is from the logistics department, an old employee."
He raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Qingye shook his head and withdrew his gaze: "Nothing..."
Wu Su did not ask any further questions.
He took a deep breath and asked in the calmest tone possible: "That... may I ask why? Why did you choose the Logistics Department instead of the Combat Section?"
Chen Qingye's expression was gloomy for a moment, and the originally ordinary face became a little terrifying at that moment: "I can't make my baby any less."
He turned his palms.
The next second, Wu Su felt that his breathing had stopped.
I saw several huge bugs drilled out from the cuffs of the man's suit. One of them looked like a centipede. The hard shell was nourished by yin and turned into a black metallic texture. Several long legs From the depths of the two sides of the body, several cracks were opened on the surface of the body, revealing the rolling eyes of Gululu. In addition, there were two huge colorful worms, with a huge mouth on the back, revealing Sharp teeth, transparent and colorless liquid flowing from the mouth.
Chen Qingye took out his handkerchief and wiped its drool with a loving look on his face.
Wu Su: "…"
He kind of wants to run now.
Just don't know if it's too late.
Chen Qingye put away the handkerchief, then sighed sadly, gritted his teeth and said, "Especially after ace did something like that to their mother..."
in the hallway…
Ye Jia slowly let out a long sigh of relief.
To be honest, he really didn't know how to deal with the red he was looking for.
Because... the beams of the knot between them are really a bit difficult to describe.
However, if the long story is short, the short summary is:
Really unexpected.
He once accidentally formed a team with red. At that time, Ye Jia was distracted to deal with a side quest, so it took a little longer to find the boss than before. When he came to the scene, he found that the battle was over. , there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and traces of destruction and destruction abound, and it is clear that someone came here before him and defeated the boss.
Although it is a pity, at least the rewards of the side quests are very rich.
Ye Jia turned around and prepared to leave.
The next second—a thud came from under his feet.
Ye Jia was stunned, lowered his head and looked at the soles of his feet.
A white bug the size of a thumb was lying on the center of the battlefield, and it happened to be stepped on by him.
At this moment, a heart-piercing scream came from a distance - "Xiao Bai!"
Ye Jia: "..."
At this moment, since the boss was judged to be dead, the copy ended directly, and all players in the copy were teleported away.
After the dungeon came out, Ye Jia realized that it was just a Gu mother raised by the player red. At that time, it ate the corpse of the dungeon boss at that time, changed back to its original form and began to digest it, but was accidentally killed by him...
trampled to death...
Ye Jia raised his hand and covered his face with some reluctance to look back.
After that, he wanted to find red to have a good chat with him several times, but every time the two met in the dungeon, the other party would involuntarily release a bunch of Gu insects to attack him, for his own Xiaobai. revenge.
This is, really, hard to do.
At this moment, Zhao Dong hurriedly came from a distance, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ye Jia: "Hey! Have you seen the team yet?"
Ye Jia nodded and pointed to the closed door.
Zhao Dong raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened from the inside, and Wu Su's bearded face appeared at the door: "What's the matter?"
"Eh..." Zhao Dong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh! The above has sent a task to clean up the well, so I'll ask you which team you sent this time?"
Usually, the Yin well does not need to be cleaned once in such a short time.
Because although it will slowly gather the Yin Qi in the city, the speed is very slow, and it will maintain the same state as anywhere else for decades.
However, there are too many things that have happened recently. From the opening of the ghost gate to the night walk of hundreds of ghosts, the yin qi in the city has skyrocketed. Although the alarms placed everywhere did not alarm, the above still felt that it was better to be cautious. So assign the task to the Combat Section and let them check and clean the well.
Typically, such a cleanup team requires at least three members of the Combat Section and two members of the Logistics Department.
Wu Su's eyes lit up.
He turned sideways, revealing Chen Qingye behind him: "Just right, this one is going to apply for the logistics department!"
Wu Su looked at Chen Qingye: "How about you take this time as a probationary period? See if you are suitable for this job?"
Chen Qingye stood up, then moved the chair he had just sat on, and placed it exactly halfway across the table, then raised his head and said, "Okay, of course."
Wu Su let out a sigh of relief.
After all, he doesn't know what the hatred between red and ace is, so he doesn't dare to hire him directly. However, even if he is a bit eccentric, Chen Qingye's combat power as the top ten in the standings is definitely There is nothing to say, so Wu Su is actually a little selfish. I hope the other party can figure out that the most suitable department for him is the combat department, not the logistics department that can only do the finishing work.
He turned his head to look at Ye Jia who was standing beside him: "Hey, just right, you bring instruments and teach newcomers."
Ye Jia: "..."
Regret is regret.
He should have left this place of right and wrong earlier.
Ye Jia handed the two instruments to Chen Qingye.
One is the detection instrument and the other is the cleaning instrument.
Chen Qingye didn't take it, but raised his head to look at Ye Jia and asked, "So, are we going to clean up the Yin Qi accumulated in a location this time?"
Ye Jia nodded.
Chen Qingye said, "Thank you, senior, but I don't need this."
He raised his hand and showed Ye Jia the insects he had hidden in his sleeves: "They can eat..."
The centipede-like bug with eyes all over its body stared at Ye Jia hostilely, hissing threatening sound from its mouth with a pair of huge pincers.
A trace of kindness flashed in Chen Qingye's eyes.
He gently touched the head of the centipede, wrapped his fingers around its eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my grandfather doesn't usually do this, but I don't know why, but my reaction to you today is different. It's a little big, maybe I'm hungry."
Chen Qingye said to Chang in a soft and soft voice, "My dear, let's go to dinner now."
Ye Jia: "..."
Grass…
Although he said that he was very confident in his ability to conceal his aura, Ye Jia couldn't say how effective his disguise would be in the face of a strange creature like Gu worm.
Better to get away as soon as possible.
He took a deep breath and handed the detection instrument to Chen Qingye: "Then you still have to bring this one. It is used to detect the content of yin qi, including collecting data and returning it for research. It will be used when writing reports later."
"Oh, okay, thank you senior." Chen Qingye nodded, and reached out to take the detector from Ye Jia's hand: "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"
Ye Jia shook his head: "No more..."
If it is the logistics member who sets off with the team for the first time, there are still many rules and regulations, but for red who has already rolled around in the game, basically those precautions are nonsense.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the location of the first shadow well.
This is an abandoned building, even from the outside, it feels gloomy.
Ye Jia stopped at the door: "Hey, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to take a step first."
Two of the three people in the combat department are newcomers who have trained with Ye Jia, and they are very familiar with him. Although they have long been accustomed to Ye Jia's behavior of often fishing and escaping, they are still very serious about Ye Jia going out to the field. Yes, this is the first time he has done such a temporary withdrawal before the mission begins.
They were a little surprised: "Brother Ye, isn't it like you? Is there really something wrong this time?"
Ye Jia nodded and said apologetically, "Yes, I just remembered it, and I will invite you to dinner later."
"Okay, okay..." They waved at Ye Jia: "Remember to bring us a cup of milk tea when you go back!"
Ye Jia smiled and looked at Chen Qingye: "This time you are alone, okay?"
Chen Qingye nodded calmly: "Of course, senior, don't worry, if you have anything to do, don't waste your time."
If the grievances and grievances between the two of them were put aside, Chen Qingye was really a very good teammate - at least more reliable than a destructive madman like Maid.
Ye Jia sighed silently and turned to leave.
— In fact, to a certain extent, he did not lie.
Ye Jia really wanted to stay away from Chen Qingye's Gu worms, but it was also because he suddenly remembered something.
There are actually four wells in the city.
The other one is located in a villa under the name of Ji Xuan. He should have brought the blood gu fish to clean it every once in a while, but there are too many things recently, and he has almost forgotten about it.
This time it happened that this mission reminded him, and he really should go and see it.
Ye Jia pulled away the ghost and came to the place where there was a blood pool in Ji Xuan.
The blood Gu fish was floating in the blood pool alone. After smelling the familiar scent in the air, it suddenly raised its head and looked in one direction.
Just as Ye Jia stepped out of the ghost, he was almost hit by the bloody fish rushing towards him.
He bent the corners of his lips and scratched its chin: "Didn't you see it a while ago? Why are you so excited?"
He raised his head and scanned the room.
Ji Xuan is not here.
Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
If he was there, it is estimated that he would be stalking to keep up.
However, in a sense, Ye Jia didn't really want to take the blood gu fish to eat with Ji Xuan, and it always gave him a feeling of... overly intimate.
Ye Jia brushed off a trace of awkwardness in his heart, thought about it, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to Ji Xuan: "I took the fish out."
The other party didn't answer, and apparently seemed to be busy.
Ye Jia put the phone back in his pocket, patted his leg, and said to the excited bloody fish, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat."
Suburban villa.
As soon as he walked to the door of the iron gate, Ye Jia felt a faint yin emanating from the interior of the villa in front of him.
It seems that during this period of time, the impact of the anomaly in M City on Yinjing is still not small.
However, what Ye Jia did not expect was that he originally thought that Ji Xuan was just talking for fun, but this place was really transformed into a haunted house.
The overgrown courtyard and the rusted gate have been preserved, adding an inexplicable terrifying atmosphere to the place. However, it seems that due to the recent accident in the city, the haunted house is still closed.
Ye Jia passed through the gate and walked towards the villa.
The villa is almost the same as the last time he saw it. Although the yin energy is gathering now, it is obviously not gathered enough to make it return to the way it used to be.
As soon as he pushed open the villa's door, the blood gu fish rushed in excitedly, and from the depths of the villa came the happy humming when it was eating.
"Ah-"
Two screaming voices came from far and near.
Immediately afterwards, two transparent white jelly, one large and one small, rushed out of the villa.
Ye Jia: "..."
Oops, he forgot that there were still two of them in here.
The big frightening spirit habitually hugged Ye Jia's waist, and the small frightening spirit took the next step and hugged his arm. The movements were skilled and smooth, and both faces showed an intoxicated look: "Wuwuwu You finally come to see us!"
The big frightened spirit was wronged Baba: "You said you would come to visit us!"
The little frightening spirit was wronged: "But you haven't come!"
Ye Jia's brows twitched and he said dryly, "Sorry..."
At this time, the blood gu fish had already eaten in the villa and slowly swam out. It raised a big snow-white head and stared at the two frightening spirits wrapped around Ye Jia with a pair of dark eyes. A cold coercion was released from its body.
The two frightened spirits shivered a bit, but they relied on themselves to wrap around Ye Jia now, so they became fearless again, and turned their heads and stuck their tongues out at the bloody fish on the ground: "A little bit! You can't hold it!"
The blood Gu fish seemed to understand.
It flicked its tail in despair, then leaned over and tried to entangle Ye Jia with its own body.
Ye Jia: "..."
Come on, he really can't take it anymore.
He promptly ripped off the two frightening spirits from his body, then jumped out of the bloody gu fish, trying to distance himself from the three ghosts, but before he could break free from the encirclement, the one in his pocket The phone buzzed twice.
Ye Jia moved for a while and took out his mobile phone.
Ji Xuan sent: "Okay..."
Then there's an emoji of a puppy wagging its tail.
The three ghosts took the opportunity to entangle them again.
Ye Jia sighed, and before he could do anything, Ji Xuan called.
He paused and connected.
The man's deep voice came from the other side of the phone: "Your method is very effective. The puppet master gave me a useful message just now."
Ye Jia: "Has he agreed to cooperate?"
Ji Xuan laughed, and the low voice seemed particularly magnetic through the microphone, bringing a faint numbness: "Not yet, but I think it should be soon, after all, the purpose of him giving me this news is one day. vacation."
Ye Jia rubbed his ears and silently took the phone away: "What news did he give you?"
Ji Xuan said, "Before he looked for you, he hid a yin chrysalis in the city, waiting to hatch."
Ye Jia's expression was a little solemn: "Where is the address?"
"I sent it to you..." Ji Xuan said.
Ye Jia exited and looked at the chat interface. Sure enough, Ji Xuan sent an address to his mobile phone.
That address... looks extraordinarily familiar.
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, he was slightly taken aback, as if he suddenly remembered something.
This is where one of the wells is located.
