Ye Jia: "..."
When he was stunned, Ji Xuan had already seized this opportunity and slid into the quilt.
Ye Jia only felt the bed beside him sink, and then, the other party's icy body wrapped around like a snake, hugging him tightly into his arms.
Ji Xuan rubbed his chin on his neck.
Ye Jia froze: "You let go..."
Ji Xuan: "I won't let go..."
Ye Jia began to struggle: "Let go!"
Ji Xuan tightened his arms: "Don't let go..."
Ye Jia: "..."
Is this a schoolboy quarrel
Ji Xuan said, "Brother, if you can't speak, it doesn't count."
Ye Jia closed his eyes and said reluctantly, "Just five minutes..."
Ji Xuan raised the corners of his lips, and his scarlet eyes shone in the darkness. He wrapped his arms around the young man's slender waist and pressed his and the other's tightly together, so close that he could feel the other's stability. The rate at which the chest rises and falls as he breathes, the subtle throbbing of the other person's heart as it beats regularly under the ribs.
Ye Jia leaned back: "It's too close..."
In the darkness, the tips of his ears were a little red, but they were covered by the night.
Ji Xuan raised his eyes, his eyes stayed on the other side's white auricle for a moment, and silently licked the corner of his lips.
Even so, he obediently relaxed his strength.
Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
He counted the passage of time in his mind.
Four minutes left.
The presence of the man around him was so strong that it was almost impossible to ignore.
City f is a little souther than city m. Although it is the end of summer, it still has a scorching heat. In addition, it is located in the basin, which makes it hotter and hotter, although Ye Jia is not afraid of heat. , but still feel uncomfortable.
Ji Xuan's body is not as cold as before, like a cool jade, which has been stained with a little human temperature.
Three minutes left.
Ye Jia yawned.
In the fantasy world of vision, he always maintained a very high alert state. Although it was only a few minutes for the outside world, it was a few days for him.
In the next few days after coming out, Ye Jia rarely closed his eyes.
He is used to this method of high concentration and high consumption. After all, the duration of each dungeon in the game is not fixed, and the snooze will definitely die first, so most senior players will try to shorten the sleep time as much as possible, in the dungeon Always stay awake.
Two minutes left.
Ye Jia's eyelids were slightly heavy, and an irresistible drowsiness struck, pulling and dragging him, sinking into the darkness.
One minute left...
In the darkness, Ji Xuan opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the young man whose breathing became gradually steady, he smiled contentedly, his lips opened and closed silently:
Good night, brother.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning fell through the half-closed curtains, and fell softly and silently on the white face of the young man.
Ye Jia's eyelashes moved.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of light-colored eyes appeared clear and clear in the morning light, with a hint of hazy and confused water.
At that moment, Ye Jia felt the existence of another body beside him.
"Good morning..." The man's low, hoarse voice sounded in his ears.
Ye Jia was startled, instinctively jumped up from the bed, fell lightly on the ground, and retreated to the window.
In the blink of an eye, a distance of several meters was opened.
Ji Xuan blinked, propped up his body with his arms, and the thin blanket slid off his body.
He was still wearing a simple shirt, which had become wrinkled from a long night's sleep, and his shirt was open, revealing a half-pale chest, making him more broad-shouldered and superior.
"How did you sleep?"
Ye Jia's expression darkened slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is not five minutes!"
Ji Xuan nodded.
He turned to look at the wall clock on the wall and said, "It's seven hours and forty-four minutes."
"Hmm..." Ji Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Ye Jia, his scarlet eyes looked like some kind of brilliant gem in the sun, as if he was calculating something seriously: "That becomes now I owe you seven hours. Thirty-nine minutes."
He opened his arms: "You can come and ask at any time."
Ye Jia: "..."
He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that his anger value began to rise steadily.
Ji Xuan blinked.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed the thin quilt that Ye Jia had just shaken to one side, and slowly covered himself.
Almost in a blink of an eye, he changed back to the form of a teenager, and then got into the quilt little by little, as if trying to escape the opponent's anger.
Ye Jia: "What are you doing?"
The little boy pulled the quilt under his eyes and replied softly in a childish voice, "Sleep..."
Ye Jia almost laughed angrily: "Aren't you a ghost?"
Ji Xuan yawned.
"But..." His eyelids sank, as if he really felt sleepy: "I have a fever..."
- His words were not false.
Staying awake all the time during self-healing consumes a lot of energy, and it is his limit that he has not fallen into a deep sleep for two days.
Ye Jia frowned: "Then why didn't you sleep last night?"
The little boy opened his eyes, his dark red blood-like eyes fixedly looking at the young man not far away, his voice was hidden under the quilt, and seemed a little vague: "The time with my brother is so precious, it cannot be wasted. Yes."
Ye Jia was stunned.
After answering, Ji Xuan slowly closed his eyes, as if he really began to rest.
Ye Jia's gaze paused for a moment on the bulging bulge on the bed.
He frowned and looked away.
Ye Jia was not very willing to believe that he actually slept next to the other party all night... and he didn't even dream of those pictures in the game before.
It's like... He seems to have gotten used to the other person's presence and no longer regards him as an enemy.
Ye Jia's brows tightened even more.
He walked to the bathroom, washed and dressed briefly, then picked up the folder on the bedside, then turned and walked out of the room.
Before leaving, Ye Jia turned his head and cast a last glance at the room behind him—
He must have been too tired recently.
That's all.
Ye Jia pulled out the room card and turned to go out.
The door closed behind him with a click.
Ye Jia suddenly realized that he forgot to let Ji Xuan go back to M City.
However, if he is just going to stay in the hotel to catch up on sleep, it shouldn't have a big impact, and the room is a standard room, the big deal is that he will sleep in a different bed tonight.
As long as he doesn't take part in this mission, it's fine.
After Ye Jia made up his mind, he stepped downstairs and met with the other three in the lobby.
"How? Did you find anything unusual?" Chen Qingye also held a thick stack of documents in his arms. He pushed on his glasses and asked, his eyes swept over Ye Jia inadvertently.
"No..." Wei Yuechuan shrugged: "It's all about some uncharacteristic death cases... It's so common, there's nothing special about it."
Ye Jia nodded: "This is mine too."
Blast coughed unnaturally, his eyes wandering, and he didn't answer.
Wei Yue narrowed his eyes: "Blast, have you seen it?"
"I… of course I did!" blast raised his voice.
Everyone's eyes fell on him. Under everyone's attention, blast's face slowly turned red, and his voice gradually became smaller because of his guilty conscience: "But... but it's really boring, I ,so I… "
"Just what?" Chen Qingye asked.
blast whispered: "sleep over..."
So, on the way to F City Supernatural Bureau, everyone closed their eyes and rested, only Blast was forced to start studying the document he didn't read last night in the car, and the dark-haired Chief was lying on his back. On the back of his chair, as soon as he found that he had a tendency to be distracted or lazy, he clicked and moved the pliers a few times.
Blast wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only seize the time to turn over the files.
- Are you all devils? !
Finally, everyone arrived at the Nature Management Bureau of City F, Ye Jia and the other two went to contact, only blast was forced to stay in the hall to continue to read the documents, blast: "..."
You are so cruel!
The required information has been transferred, and the leading employee handed them a USB flash drive and said, "Everything you need is here."
Wei Yueyue blinked, but didn't take it: "That...Is there no paper version?"
She spends more time in the game and is more disconnected from modern society. She would rather fight Li Gui directly than deal with these high-tech things.
The employee glanced at her with a foolish look: "Do you know how many cases of natural and accidental deaths have occurred in F city since the gates of hell opened? Coupled with the autopsy report and background check, the paper version of the report is this. The room can't fit."
Wei Yue: "…"
Chen Qingye stretched out his hand and took over the USB flash drive: "Thank you..."
The three turned around and walked out together.
Wei Yuelu lowered his voice and asked, "Is there really that many?"
Chen Qingye was surprised to be the one with the deepest knowledge of technology among them all, he nodded: "Yes..."
Wei Yue was stunned: "Then... how long will it take us to finish it?"
Chen Qingye sighed: "I don't know either..."
It may take a long time for them to process the file this time.
Wei Yue wailed, "We won't be staying in this ghost place for a long time, will we?"
Her voice was so loud that several employees passing by heard it and turned to look at her.
Ye Jia: "Be quiet..."
Wei Yue looked like the child who had done something wrong was caught, she lowered her voice a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry..."
Chen Qingye turned his head and glanced at Wei Yue, and seemed a little surprised.
At this moment, the three of them have come to the hall.
As soon as he appeared, the blast sitting in the hall lit up and rushed towards them.
Wei Yue was startled by him: "What are you doing?"
Blast's expression was extremely excited, and he didn't even care about Wei Yue's excessively violent attitude: "I found out!"
Several people were refreshed.
Chen Qingye took a step forward, and his voice was filled with excitement: "What? Did you find something wrong in the file?"
"Damn, how is that possible." Blast scratched the back of his head and said carelessly, "I can't read it after reading two pages, and you haven't come back for so long, so I went to chat with the lady at the front desk."
Everyone: "…"
Chen Qingye's eyes narrowed slightly behind his lenses, and at the cuff, Ah Chang stuck out half of his pitch-black head and stared at the blast, as if he was about to move.
Blast was so frightened that he almost took a step back.
He hurriedly said: "Hey! Wait! You listen to me first!"
Chen Qingye held down Ah Chang's head and said slowly, "You said..."
Blast glanced at the bug in the other's sleeve with lingering fears, pulled a little distance without a trace, and then continued: "That... We just happened to be chatting, they were discussing a news that just happened yesterday. A few blocks away, an office worker died unexpectedly on his way home from get off work, and that's pretty much everyone talking about today."
Wei Yue frowned: "What accident?"
Blast winked mysteriously and said, "That's the point."
He said: "A truck pulling a steel pipe happened to pass by, and the rope came loose at the intersection, and one of the steel pipes fell and pierced the office worker's eye socket."
Everyone was startled.
This way of dying...
Strange indeed.
The roads in the city are all speed-limited, not to mention whether the steel pipe can be endowed with enough potential energy. Even if it can, it should be able to target the weakest eye socket on the human skull during the running of the vehicle. This probability It's too small.
If it's really an accident, then the person's luck is too bad.
Blast clasped his arms triumphantly and said, "Although the police investigation has not yet come out, it is estimated that it is likely to be an accidental death. How about it, is it a very interesting case, if you don't have me, you will..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Qingye: "Apart from this office worker, are there other casualties?"
blast: "don't know..."
Wei Yue Yue then asked, "Has the Administration here sent someone to detect fluctuations in paranormal activity?"
blast: "I didn't ask..."
Chen Qingye pushed his glasses: "What's the use of asking you."
blast: "…"
His whole body wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
The other two turned around and walked towards the office, ready to ask for more details.
Ye Jia paused for a while, looked at the stunned blast, and praised mercifully: "Good job..."
Blast's eyes lit up, like a plant that had been watered. He looked at Ye Jia very moved: "You..."
"Oh, by the way..." Ye Jia smiled slightly: "Don't forget to read your documents."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the direction where Chen Qingye and Wei Yue had disappeared.
Blast stood there stupidly, looking at the young man's slowly disappearing back: "..."
I'm so stupid, really.
I forgot that he was the worst one.
Inside the office.
The employee on duty happened to be Liang Yi.
"Oh, this is what you are talking about." He lowered his head and tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly: "Everyone is talking about this today, after all, this kind of thing is really outrageous, right? I sent someone to take the probe this morning, and found nothing, alas, it should be just pure bad luck... After all, sometimes God just wants people to die."
When the voice fell, he had already adjusted what he needed.
Liang Yi turned the computer screen over so that the three people in front of him could see it.
Above is the surveillance camera at that street intersection.
It only took a few seconds for the tragedy to happen.
A few seconds ago, the entire street was still bustling, peaceful and prosperous. A few seconds later, the sudden change occurred. The steel pipe was scattered around the narrow screen. The man's eye socket was stuck with the steel pipe, and then the whole person fell to the ground with blood. It slowly spread from under his body, and everyone around was in a mess.
Chen Qingye repeatedly pulled the progress bar several times.
The trajectory of the steel pipe is indeed tricky, but there is no trace of external force.
He raised his head and looked at Liang Yi: "Are there any other casualties in this accident?"
Liang Yi: "Eh... I don't think so?"
Ye Jia frowned: "Are there any minor injuries?"
"Probably..." Liang Yi touched the back of his head: "I don't think I heard any injuries at the scene?"
The three looked at each other.
This is even more strange, so many steel pipes are scattered, other people have not even a scratch, only the office worker was stabbed in the head.
In the hall…
Ye Jia said to Chen Qingye, "Go to the morgue and bring new detection equipment to see if there is any problem on the body."
He looked at Wei Yue Yue: "You and blast go to this person's home to investigate according to the address shown in the information."
blast frowned: "why me and this mother night..."
Wei Yue narrowed his eyes and looked over dangerously.
Ye Jia interrupted him in time before he could say the next: "Then you want to act with Chen Qingye?"
Chen Qingye pushed his glasses: "I have no opinion..."
Blas remembered the pet the other party kept, his face turned green: "Forget it..."
Ye Jia: "In short, it takes two people to go to the victim's house. One of them communicates with the family to inquire about the situation, and the other goes to the room to check for abnormalities."
Wei Yue asked, "What about you?"
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes: "I'll go to the scene of the incident to see."
"Remember to contact me if you have any news."
Ye Jia left first, Chen Qingye, Wei Yue and Blast fell slightly behind and walked out together.
Chen Qingye looked at Wei Yueyu thoughtfully: "I rarely see you obeying orders like this."
Wei Yue raised his eyebrows: "I like to listen to handsome guys, do you have any opinions?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Chen Qingye up and down: "However, in terms of obedience, you don't have to give in too much."
"Of course..." Chen Qingye said without changing his face: "Ye Jia has worked in the Supernatural Administration for longer than us. He is our senior. He must know more about the process than us. I am willing to follow the senior's arrangement."
The two of them looked at each other with guile, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.
At the same time, I snorted softly in my heart-
He and she don't know anything.
Blast turned his head blankly and looked at the backs of the two of them, and suddenly there was an inexplicable sense of sight... Why did he always feel that the scene in front of him had happened
Wei Yue turned his head and shouted in a bad temper, "Hey, are you coming?"
Blast scratched his head and followed: "Wait for me!"
Ye Jia came to the scene of the crime.
Since this is a prosperous road, the traces of yesterday's accident have been cleaned up almost, but despite this, the flow of people and traffic is still much less than before.
Ye Jia came to the place where the accident happened according to his memory.
He turned his head and glanced at the surveillance camera not far behind, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the open space in front of him.
The blood has been cleaned up, but there are still white marks on the ground from the impact of the steel pipe.
That's it.
Ye Jia pulled away the ghost and took out the little black hand who was still addicted to playing with his mobile phone.
The little black hand struggled with dissatisfaction: "Hey! What are you doing?"
Ye Jia said, "Is there any problem here?"
The little black hand protested: "You are squeezing! Naked squeezing!"
Ye Jia: "Yes..."
Little Black Hand: "…"
Ye Jia: "Welcome to the trade union."
Little Black Hand: "…"
you are vicious…
It slipped out of Ye Jia's palm, and then swam toward the open space where the accident happened.
The little black hand shook his fingers: "Is there any problem?"
Ye Jia frowned: "Can't you feel any yin fluctuations?"
Little Black Hand: "Yes..."
Ye Jia's brows furrowed even tighter.
In fact, he didn't notice any yin fluctuations, so he would let the little black hand who is more sensitive to yin fluctuations come out to feel it. However, if he couldn't even feel it, there is a high probability that he did not...
Could it be that the death of that office worker was simply an accident
It floated to Ye Jia's shoulders and grabbed his collar habitually: "What happened here?"
Ye Jia was startled: "Can't you feel it?"
The little black hand is even more confused: "What?"
Ye Jia's expression became solemn.
Areas where unnatural deaths have occurred are more or less contaminated.
No matter whether the death of the office worker was an accident or not, this is the place where he died, and more importantly, this incident just happened yesterday, so there will inevitably be some resentment of the deceased, even a spiritual body - but , Little Black Hand, as a Specter, didn't even realize that human life had happened here.
So clean.
Something is not quite right.
At this moment, Ye Jia's mobile phone vibrated twice.
Chen Qingye sent him two photos.
The first photo is of the detector in Chen Qingye's hand, and the index on it is close to 0.
For a corpse that has just died, this value is really low and somewhat abnormal.
The background is clearly the metal bed of the morgue, on which the arm of the corpse is a lifeless turquoise gray, with two wounds close by.
One horizontal and one vertical, diagonally crossing.
It looks like it was cut with a knife.
"This is the only trauma on the corpse." Chen Qingye sent an explanation: "Brother Ye, do you know him?"
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly.
The wound seemed to be just two random scratches, but for some reason, the shape gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
Ye Jia was startled.
He opened his palm, and a shallow scar was branded at the base of his palm near his wrist.
Vertical and horizontal, crossing each other.
Two very light white streaks that are almost hard to see without looking closely.
After leaving the game, all the wounds on Ye Jia's body were healed, all the scars left in the game disappeared, only this one was left on his wrist.
Ye Jia couldn't remember how it came about.
He even wondered if he had left it before entering the game.
But since it is really difficult to find, Ye Jia rarely thinks of this scar on his hand.
After Chen Qingye concluded the investigation, Blast and Wei Yueli also found nothing there.
They decided to go back to the hotel first, study the clues they have now, and read the documents obtained from the administration to see if there can be any breakthroughs from other places.
Ye Jia did not tell them what he found.
He went back to the hotel room.
Ji Xuan was lying on one of the beds, covered with a thin quilt, looking small.
Ye Jia retracted his gaze and began to read the documents in his hand.
The sound of paper rubbing sounded regularly in the quiet hotel room, and the sunlight outside the window gradually slanted westward and gradually dimmed.
Ye Jia's gaze fell on one of the pages in front of him, and he did not move for a long time.
He seemed to be in a trance.
Unconsciously, Ye Jia subconsciously turned his wrist, and his eyes fell on the two faint almost invisible scars on his skin. The light-colored eyes were hidden under the long eyelashes, and the bottom of the eyes flickered. With a thoughtful look.
At this moment, a thin rustling sound came from the bed beside him.
Ye Jia turned his head and looked around.
Ji Xuan didn't know when he opened his eyes. Those scarlet eyes flashed with a shimmering shimmer in the dusk, and he was looking at Ye Jia from not far away.
"Good evening..." His voice was a little hoarse: "Brother, what are you looking at?"
Ye Jia turned his wrist and pursed his lips: "Nothing..."
Ji Xuan got up from the other bed, the thin quilt slipped off his body, his black hair was a little messy, and the ends of his hair were messed up, looking a little funny.
He walked down barefoot and walked to Ye Jia's side.
The little boy stretched out his cold and slender fingers, gently grasped Ye Jia's wrist, and pulled his hand over, revealing two shallow scars on it: "It still hurts?"
Ye Jia was about to withdraw his hand slightly.
His eyes widened slightly, and he stared at Ji Xuan in front of him, his mind blank for a moment.
This sentence means...
Ji Xuan knew where his wound came from? !
However, before he could ask a question, the little boy in front of him suddenly lowered his head and kissed the small piece of skin on his wrist.
The cold and soft lips gently rubbed over, as if a delicate feather swept over inadvertently, causing a slight numbness and trembling.
Ji Xuan raised his head, narrowed his red eyes slightly and smiled: "This way it won't hurt."
