Ye Jia was stunned by his move.
The muscles on the shoulders, arms and arms still maintained a tight state, accumulating explosive power, and it seemed that he could enter the battle mode in the next second, but he was abruptly stuck before the action by the unexpected attitude of the opponent.
Ji Xuan buried his head in Ye Jia's neck, his soft and cold black hair fell down and rubbed against his cheeks and neck, making it extremely itchy.
The man's cheeks were not as cold as usual, but rather like jade with residual body temperature, with a hint of warmth.
Where is weird.
"Ji Xuan, you..." Ye Jia frowned, froze his body, and asked slowly, "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Xuan didn't answer, but tightened his arm slightly across Ye Jia's waist.
"..." Ye Jia used his skill to break free from the opponent's embrace, then stretched out his hand and turned on the light in the room with a click.
Ji Xuan really looked a little wrong.
He still had that expressionless face, the expression of joy and anger was indistinguishable, his eyebrows were towering and cold, casting a deep shadow, giving people an inexplicable sense of pressure.
but…
His eyes were scarlet, and the pupils had returned to their normal state. They were slightly diffused, and his vision seemed to be slightly scattered, like a ruby soaked in water under the light.
It made Ye Jia inexplicably remember the state of the other party before the door was about to end.
When Ye Jia looked at him, Ji Xuan reluctantly came over again.
The young man put his hand on his shoulder and opened the distance between the two: "Wait..."
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the last thing you remember?"
Ji Xuan: "You let me hold you..."
Ye Jia's voice increased slightly: "When did I say such a thing?!"
Ji Xuan lowered his eyes, thought back seriously for a few seconds, and said, "You said, after you have dealt with my subordinates, you will definitely come back..."
Ye Jia: "..."
Oh, so that's exactly what he said.
Seeing that Ji Xuan was going to continue speaking, Ye Jia took a deep breath and interrupted the other party's unspoken words: "It's alright, alright, I understand what you mean."
Ji Xuan took the opportunity to come over again, put his arms around the other's waist, and whispered, "Brother lied..."
Ye Jia: "..."
"Wait..." He suddenly realized that something was wrong, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of danger in his voice: "So, you were awake at that time?"
Ji Xuan rubbed Ye Jia's shoulder with his cheek, and said vaguely, "No..."
Ye Jia frowned: "?"
Ji Xuan: "I can only hear it."
Ye Jia: "..."
He stretched out his hand again, trying to rip him off his body.
However, what Ye Jia didn't expect was that it was more difficult for him to wake up than when he was in a coma.
By the time he tore Ji Xuan off his body, a full ten minutes had passed, and a layer of hot sweat oozes from his back.
Ye Jia took a breath and looked down at the ghost in front of him.
Ji Xuanan sat quietly on the sofa, and seemed to be extraordinarily well-behaved, but his eyes were still tightly glued to Ye Jia's body, as if he was still about to move.
Ye Jia asked tentatively, "You... what do you remember?"
Ji Xuan: "I remember..."
Ye Jia choked: "..."
Ji Xuan began to say, "I remember that I bit you..."
Ye Jia: "Stop!"
He took a deep breath, feeling very tired.
Ye Jia stretched out his hand, pressed the back of his hand to the other's forehead, and quickly withdrew his hand before Ji Xuan came over again - his previous feeling was right, the other's body temperature did rise, although it was still a human body temperature. The low is terrifying, but for a Specter who shouldn't have body temperature, this is already very abnormal.
Do ghosts still have fever? !
Ye Jia blinked, unable to slow down for a while.
He took out his phone, turned around and walked away.
Before taking a few steps, Ye Jia stopped abruptly, turned to look at Ji Xuan who was about to follow behind him, and warned, "Stop..."
Ji Xuan looked at him, his scarlet eyes fixed on each other.
Ye Jia: "Sit down..."
Ji Xuan let out a sigh of relief, and then sat down again.
Ye Jia glanced at him uneasy, then turned around and walked to the restaurant next to him, and called Ami.
After a few beeps, the other party picked up.
"Do ghosts have a fever?" Ye Jia asked straight to the point.
Ami was taken aback by the question that was thrown at him: "Of course not..."
Ye Jia turned his head and looked towards the living room not far away.
The lights in the living room were bright, illuminating the whole room like daytime. The man sitting on the sofa looked very tall and straight. Although he didn't keep up, his eyes kept following Ye Jia's pace, which made him feel a thorn on his back.
Ye Jia lowered his eyes and was about to cut off the phone: "Okay, I see."
"Well, but..." Ami seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "It's not completely impossible."
Ye Jia's action paused: "How do you say it?"
Ami said: "The ghost is also a kind of spiritual body after all. The internal damage caused by the torn spirit body may cause the ghost to be in abnormal state. The manifestation is that the temperature rises, just like melting metal. The spirit body sticks again... But this situation is very rare, after all, internal damage, it must be the Specter himself to start with himself, which Specter would do such a thing?"
It chattered: "But aren't you also a high-level ghost? Why is there so little common sense..."
"I came from the country." Ye Jia replied perfunctorily.
Ami: "…"
In its silent neutral position, the other party has already hung up the phone, leaving only the beeping busy tone.
Ye Jia put away his mobile phone, but turned his head and saw Ji Xuan who appeared behind him.
He sounded a little aggrieved: "Who are you talking to?"
According to Ami's theory, Ji Xuan did have a fever.
Because he forcibly tore a part of himself out of that door and put it into the illusion he created, and now his spiritual body is repairing itself.
Ye Jia was a little distracted, and he replied absently: "No one..."
Ji Xuan took a step forward.
Ye Jia suddenly became alert and took a step back: "Don't..."
"You don't care what you say." Ji Xuan lowered his eyes, fixedly staring at the young man in front of him, and said in a low voice, "And you smell like other ghosts."
His voice was calm, but there was a smell of vinegar.
Ye Jia: "..."
Ji Xuan took the opportunity to reach out and hug him again, rubbed it against the young man's warm neck, and brushed his fingertips over the unhealed bite mark on the other's collarbone.
Ye Jia slowly let out a breath with an expressionless face.
very tired.
He gave up and continued to entangle with the other party on this point. At this time, Ye Jia seemed to think of something, and said in a business-like tone: "By the way, just when you are awake, I have to talk to the puppet master. ."
Ji Xuan: "Then will you fulfill your promise?"
Ye Jia frowned: "What promise?"
Ji Xuan: "Let me..."
As soon as the man spoke, Ye Jia regretted it, and he interrupted the other person quickly: "No..."
Ji Xuan pursed his lips: "You lied to me..."
Relying on the fact that the other party is now weaker than himself, Ye Jia admitted it very calmly: "Yes, I just lied to you."
Ji Xuan: "…"
He said in a consultative tone, "One night?"
Ye Jia: "Impossible..."
Ji Xuan: "Five hours..."
Ye Jia's heart is like stone: "You are dreaming..."
Ji Xuan: "Half an hour!"
Ye Jia thought for a while: "Yes..."
However, before the other party was happy, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time on it: "It's been twenty-five minutes since I came back, and you have five minutes left."
Ji Xuan: "…"
He reluctantly released Ye Jia: "Okay..."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and his slender, pale fingertips swiped lightly in the air, and the next second, the two of them stood in the familiar warehouse.
Ji Xuan stood there: "I'll wait for you here."
Ye Jia glanced at him: "Okay..."
- He knows that Ji Xuan should know the answer he wants, but because he is a direct descendant, his bloodline suppression is much stronger than that of other specious ghosts, so to confirm whether his current guess is accurate, he can only get it from other places. Get started.
Ye Jia stepped towards the depths of the warehouse.
Most of the math reference books were shredded into small pieces of paper in anger, and only a few were left.
Ye Jia stopped outside the math question and looked down at the wall.
The puppet master was sitting in it, with his own puppets neatly placed beside him.
Seeing Ye Jia, the puppet master vigilantly hid the puppet behind him: "What are you doing?"
Ye Jia was too lazy to go around with him, and asked bluntly, "Do you remember vision?"
The puppet master asked quietly, "What vision?"
Ye Jia also did not dismantle his pretending to be stupid.
He smiled briefly, but there was no smile at the bottom of his pale eyes: "In this case, I'll change the question."
Ye Jia leaned down and stared at the Specter in front of him with a pair of eyes, and the invisible pressure spread out: "Some of the S-rank Specter were transformed by players, right?"
Even the puppet master looked back at him without answering, but narrowed his eyes with a somewhat uncertain expression.
Ye Jia stood up straight.
He didn't need a positive reply from the other party.
- The puppet master's reaction already told him the answer.
Ye Jia said unhurriedly: "I have already checked the city you gave me. Indeed, there are traces of Specter's activities in it."
The puppet master looked at him with a calm face.
"I know you have bad intentions, and you also know that I will definitely go." Ye Jia's lips curled slightly, holding a cold smile: "However, I hope you will think about another possibility... If I win? ?"
The puppet master's expression became more gloomy, and a pair of dark eyes stared at the young man in front of him, as if he wanted to peel the other party alive with his eyes.
Ye Jia smiled and said, "If my mother knew that it was you who released the news that hurt her subordinates? She doesn't know whether you gave me the address or all the news of the other party."
At that moment, the face of the puppet master changed.
The pale little face was slightly distorted by fear and viciousness. He pursed his lips tightly, and his voice seemed to be squeezed from the gap between his teeth: "You..."
Ye Jia smiled casually: "Of course, I'm not threatening you."
He shrugged. "It's just that there are no impervious walls in the world, right?"
"So, I suggest you use this time to think about this issue." Ye Jia turned around, his eyes drooped slightly, his sharp knife-like gaze swept across the opponent's body, and his lips were slightly raised: "And, How should you cooperate with us?"
After speaking, Ye Jia didn't wait for the other party to say anything, but turned and walked out.
And the puppet master's eyes were still fixed on him, as if to burn two holes in the young man's straight back.
Ji Xuan was waiting for him at the far end of the darkness.
Ye Jia said: "Let's go..."
The warehouse behind it suddenly disappeared.
The two stood in the brightly lit living room again.
As if remembering something, Ye Jia took out a light green stone from his pocket and handed it to Ji Xuan: "By the way, I'll give this back to you."
Ji Xuan lowered his head and glanced, but didn't take it: "Don't you like it?"
Ye Jia twitched the corners of his mouth: "No need..."
Ji Xuan's brows and eyes drooped down in disappointment, he pursed his lips and said, "But I already gave it to you."
Ye Jia: "..."
He would rather Ji Xuan be the bastard he was before, at least it's easier than it is now.
At this moment, the mobile phone in Ye Jia's pocket rang.
He took it out to take a look.
It was sent by blast.
He told Ye Jia that he had sent the props that the two of them took advantage of the fire to the Administration, and some props with relatively basic functions, such as detectors, were given to Wu Su, and asked him to distribute them to the combat department and logistics group. The employees, too dangerous and uncontrollable, were sealed up, blast, Wei Yue, Chen Qingye and the others also chose some props that should be used in f city this time.
For the Administration, who was at a disadvantage in this battle, these props were like rain in a long drought.
blast asked: "So, when are we going to f city?"
Ye Jia raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xuan, who was now awake, lowered his head and replied, "Immediately..."
He paused and continued, "Tell Wu Su that everything is ready."
blast: "Do you think I'm running errands?!"
Ye Jia hooked his lips: "Thank you..."
The input sign on blast's dialog box was displayed, and after a long time, the other party's message came over: "Just this time!"
With three bright exclamation marks, Ye Jia seemed to be able to see the other party's seemingly irritable expression through the screen, but was actually shy.
The next second, the man's slender fingers covered Ye Jia's phone, blocking the words on it.
Ye Jia was stunned for a moment and looked up at the opposite side.
Ji Xuan lowered his eyes, with obvious grievances in his scarlet eyes: "Why are you ignoring me?"
He asked, "Who are you talking to?"
Ye Jia: "Colleague..."
Suddenly, he seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "By the way, I may go to F city in the next few days..."
"I'll go with you." Ji Xuan replied without hesitation.
Ye Jia also answered without hesitation: "No need..."
Ji Xuan: "Why?"
Ye Jia was expressionless: "You should take care of your current injury first. After the past, you won't be of much use other than dragging your feet."
Ji Xuan was slightly startled.
He stared at Ye Jia blankly, those scarlet eyes were still in a slightly scattered state, and they looked sparkling under the light.
Ye Jia: "..."
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little disturbed in his conscience.
Are you talking too much
He pursed his lips and was about to open his mouth to say something.
At this time, I saw the other party's expression slowly light up, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing an extremely satisfied smile: "Brother, do you care about me?"
Ye Jia: "..."
I care about your head.
On the other side, blast put the phone in his pocket, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift up.
He put his hands in the pockets full of metal chains, his face full of despair.
He came to Wu Su's office arrogantly, pulled out a chair and sat down, then put his legs high on the other's desk.
Wu Su looked at the other's feet on his table.
Then, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "What's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing, just help ace to convey..." blast said triumphantly, "everything is ready."
Wu Su: "…"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Chen Qingye and Wei Yue, who had already picked out the props, walked in.
Chen Qingye's eyes fell on the other's feet raised high on the table, and he frowned.
He slapped blast's leg with the document in his hand and said, "Put it down..."
Blast said arrogantly: "Why should I listen to you?"
Ah Chang revealed his pitch-black head from Chen Qingye's sleeve, and his compound eyes shone with a strange luster.
blast was taken aback.
He stepped back subconsciously and almost fell down with the chair.
Chen Qingye took out the wet wipes, carefully wiped both sides of the place where the blast had stepped on, then threw the wipes into the trash can, then turned to look at Wu Su who was sitting behind the desk, and asked: " So what do we do next?"
Wu Su stroked his beard, took out a stack of documents from the table, and put them on the table: "This investigation may take a long time, you should need the help of the F City Supernatural Bureau, so I will go to the top. Applying for an inter-provincial assignment is equivalent to you going on a business trip as a non-staff employee of the Occult Administration, and you will be reimbursed for food and lodging…”
Wei Yue noticed something: "You guys? You mean, you're not going?"
Wu Su sighed: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that things in M City can't go away, especially after you left - although I have taken down the brochure with the signature of ace, but I don't. I'm not sure if there are any monsters or players who will find them, I can't do it without me."
Chen Qingye nodded: "Understand..."
Wu Su continued: "However, you definitely need an old employee who can communicate and communicate with the authorities. I suggest you choose Zhao Dong from the logistics department, he..."
"How is Ye Jia?" Wei Yue asked with a wink.
The three people in the room were all faintly surprised.
- but the reasons are not the same.
"Ye Jia?" Wu Su frowned: "He is indeed an old employee, but in terms of work attitude..."
He asked, "Why do you think of him?"
"You look good..." Wei Yuechuan shrugged, "Handsome guy would be better for this kind of work."
"Indeed..." Chen Qingye pushed on his glasses and said slowly, "Research has shown that people with facial features are more likely to gain the trust of others."
Wu Su was stunned: "That's right, but..."
"Whatever you..." blast shrugged and said with a stinky face, "I don't mind anyway."
Wu Su: "?"
what's the situation
How could someone rely on their looks to obtain all the favorability points of these three big men with different personalities
He raised his hand and touched his beard, hesitating whether he wanted to do a beauty treatment or something.
Ye Jia felt that his psychological pressure was a bit high.
At this point in time, there were not many people from city m to city f, and there were not many people in the train compartment except for the four of them.
Wei Yue looked out the window boredly, Chen Qingye sat upright, looking at his nose and heart, looking the most calm.
The blast was the most frizzy of the three, Ye Jia could always find that the other party glanced at him from time to time, and then quickly turned his head before he was found.
Everyone is pretending not to know Ye Jia.
Ye Jia: "..."
The atmosphere is really weird.
Fortunately, the distance between the two cities is not too far, and the high-speed train will arrive soon.
After getting off the train, Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been released from prison.
Great, at least it's not an enclosed space anymore.
They first came to the branch in f city.
Although Ye Jia does often fish, there is still no problem in terms of business level, especially with a face full of smiles and affinity, which can be said to be invincible in terms of social interaction.
Soon, they successfully contacted the relevant departments of City F. Due to the huge amount of data involved, they only got a part of the data today, and it will take some time to transfer all the rest.
The member of the logistics department responsible for receiving them is Liang Yi.
He said enthusiastically: "It's very late today, why don't you go to the hotel for a night's rest tonight? We'll notify you when the data comes out tomorrow."
Ye Jia nodded: "Alright..."
The senior management of the city management bureau also knew that these players were very strong personalities and would definitely not be willing to live with other people, so although they were on a business trip at public expense this time, four standard rooms were directly reserved.
The identity of ace is still kept secret for the time being, so he is not on the list of business trips this time.
As the only member of the logistics department, Ye Jia was lucky enough to have a separate room.
After a brief greeting, the four of them went into their respective rooms.
Ye Jia sat on the bed and began to look at the stack of documents he was holding.
Since all they need are cases of accidental and natural deaths, there is just so much to look at.
Ye Jia glanced at the documents in his hand and browsed hurriedly.
heart disease…
car accident...
Falling objects...
There doesn't seem to be anything special about it.
He frowned slightly, lost in thought.
A few streets away from the hotel.
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes is rushing towards the house. His leather shoes are slightly worn, and the suit on his body seems to be some years old, but his face is filled with a happy smile. Bunch of flowers, and a gift, seems to want to surprise the family.
However, at this moment, a large truck came galloping from a distance. It was carrying a car of steel pipes, and all the steel pipes were firmly fixed to the car.
There is a stone in the center of the ground.
The truck driver yawned.
The wheel ran over and the whole car shook violently.
One of the bundles of steel pipes was loosened. In the next second, there was only a clatter, and those steel pipes slipped down and landed on the street. One of them took advantage of the speed of the vehicle to go straight to the man in suit and leather shoes. fly away—
The man's smile remained on his face.
The sharp steel pipe inserted straight into his eye socket, piercing his entire head.
"Ah!"
After a brief silence, screams rang out in the street.
"Hurry up, hurry up and call the police!"
"Save people, save people!"
No one saw that in the pocket of the corpse, something fell out, spontaneously burned on the ground, and disappeared quickly.
Inside the hotel…
Ye Jia rubbed his sore eyes from reading for a long time, and put the document on the head of the bed.
He washed briefly, then went back to bed and turned off the light.
When he was drowsy, Ye Jia suddenly felt that there seemed to be something else in the room besides him.
He fell asleep and opened his eyes suddenly.
I saw—
In the darkness, Ji Xuan stood beside the bed and gently pulled away a corner of the quilt, as if he was about to get in.
Ye Jia: "..."
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"
Ji Xuan blinked and said innocently, "But, there are five minutes left."
