Inside the mall…
The sun shines down from the high glass roof, the space is huge and bright, the ground is clean and clean, separated by a huge glass window, the lights are bright and bright, men and women dressed in bright clothes are shuttled in twos and threes, and the scent of new products is surging in the air. .
In the flow of people, a tall and slender young man stood among them, looking out of place with the surrounding environment.
His facial features are handsome, his eyelids are slightly drooping, his skin is almost morbidly pale, his pupils and hair color are light, revealing a kind of alienation that refuses to be thousands of miles away.
At this moment, he frowned slightly, looking a little irritable.
Even so, the overly good appearance still attracted a lot of eyes, both open and dark, and from time to time, girls secretly looked at him, seeming to be just around the corner.
But at this moment, the tall figure of a woman emerged from one of the shops.
Although her facial features are extremely beautiful, her outline is very deep, almost with a sharp aggressiveness. At this moment, she is looking at the young man with a smile, and said in a lower voice than ordinary women: "Why do you Don't come in?"
Ye Jia: "..."
Because I don't want to.
However, the other party didn't seem to see his resistance. Instead, he walked towards him and hugged Ye Jia's arm involuntarily.
Ye Jia sighed expressionlessly, and was dragged in resignedly.
Ji Xuan turned his head, his pitch-black eyes were half-squinted, and he swept across the hall lightly, his pale and cold palms tightened possessively, as if he was declaring his ownership.
There were sighs of disappointment all around.
- Sure enough, handsome guys have masters.
As soon as he entered the store, Ye Jia was stunned.
It wasn't a women's clothing store.
No, Ji Xuan is not a girl! He shouldn't have gone to the women's clothing store! Don't be influenced by him!
Ye Jia shook his head and threw out some absurd thoughts in his head just now.
However, as soon as he pulled him into the store, Ji Xuan let go of his hand, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only Ye Jia standing alone in the cupboard. This men's clothing store seems to be a very high-end kind with ready-to-wear , can also be customized, and pieces of clothing are hung on the wooden walls, giving off a scent of money under the light.
Ye Jia casually picked up a piece of clothing and glanced down at the price on it.
He forgot to breathe in shock.
This, is this a money grab
Ye Jia carefully counted the number of zeros above, and then converted his salary at the Occult Authority—about five years of work without food or drink, he could afford this dress.
Damn, he is obviously a civil servant!
Just as Ye Jia grieved over his salary slip, Ji Xuan led the tailor out.
He was slightly taken aback.
No, this time Ji Xuan looks like this, how can he try on men's clothes
Before Ye Jia could figure it out, Ji Xuan pointed at him and said with a smile at the tailor beside him, "Please..."
Ye Jia: "?"
By the time he came to his senses, the tailor had already started to make gestures on his body with a tape measure.
Ye Jia's body was stiff, and he winked at Ji Xuanshi.
-what happened
Ji Xuan blew a kiss to him.
— mua.
Ye Jia: "..."
Seeing the young man in front of him couldn't bear to look straight away, the smile on Ji Xuan's lips deepened slightly, as if he was very proud of it.
The tailor is skilled and efficient. Soon, he got all the data he needed, and then turned around and walked towards the store.
Ye Jia took this opportunity to grab Ji Xuan, lowered his voice deliberately, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ji Xuan smiled pleasantly: "I'll buy you clothes."
Ye Jia's voice rose slightly uncontrollably: "I can't afford it!"
Ji Xuan: "I can afford it..."
Ye Jia: "..."
His forehead twitched slightly, he took a deep breath, and turned to leave.
Ji Xuan quickly grabbed him: "Where are you going?"
Ye Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Leave, leave."
Ji Xuan: "Didn't you promise me to stay with me all day today, go wherever you want, and do whatever you want?"
Ye Jia: "..."
How can I not remember that I said such a thing!
Seemingly seeing the other party's ignorance, Ji Xuan's thin lips curled slightly: "Today, I just want to buy clothes for you here."
He leaned over, his icy breath brushed against the young man's warm ears, and his voice lost all femininity, it was low and hoarse, with a bit of ambiguous and lazy evil meaning: "And you belong to me today."
Ye Jia's ears numb.
He instinctively retreated and looked at Ji Xuan with a look of astonishment.
The other party has stepped back casually, turned his head and whispered something to the tailor.
In the blind spot of the opponent's line of sight, Ye Jia raised his hand and pinched his earlobe, as if he wanted to expel that weird touch.
Seeing Ji Xuan turn his head, Ye Jia suddenly put down his hand and turned his head to look at the row of shirts in front of him.
Ji Xuan came over, his dark eyes swept over the other person's slightly red ear tips, and then followed the other side's line of sight and landed on the shirt in front of him, the corners of his lips raised: "Like?"
Ye Jia suddenly became alert: "No..."
However, before waiting for his refusal to come out, Ji Xuan greeted the waiter on the side: "This row is all wrapped up."
Ye Jia: "?"
He grabbed Ji Xuan's arm, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth: "I don't need it!"
Ji Xuan suddenly realized: "You are right..."
Ye Jia: "?"
What
He didn't calm down for a while.
Just listen to Ji Xuan continue: "How about a shirt, if you don't have matching clothes and shoes, wouldn't it be impossible to wear it at all?"
Ye Jia: "!"
and many more
I did not mean that!
Ji Xuan raised his hand, holding a black-and-gold card between his pale and slender fingers: "Send these along with the ready-to-wear to the address I left just now."
Immediately afterwards, he dragged Ye Jia with a blank face out of the store.
Ye Jia turned his head to look at the store farther and farther behind him, expressionless, and slowly asked, "You, how much did you spend in total?"
Ji Xuan put his icy arms around Ye Jia's arm, and said with a smile, "Do you want to give it back to me?"
Ye Jia: "..."
I would like to, but I have no money.
"I'll be back in time," he said.
Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes and said with a light smile, "No refunds..."
Ye Jia: "I don't want to be the head office."
"Also..." Ji Xuan nodded without changing his face: "However, these are bought according to your body shape. If you don't wear them, you can only throw them away."
Ye Jia: "..."
The string of zeros floated through his mind.
Grass…
Ji Xuan turned his head to look at Ye Jia, and said with a low smile: "Go, I haven't enjoyed shopping yet."
With force in his palm, he forcibly dragged the young man towards the second store.
in the store behind them.
The two clerks stood behind the counter and watched the figures of a man and a woman walk further and further away.
One of the clerks said, "My God, rich lady."
The other nodded and said enviously: "And she's such a beautiful rich woman, with a good figure and a tall body."
"It's just a little too high."
"But I can..."
"Actually I can too."
The tailor stuck his head out from behind, mercilessly puncturing their daydreams: "You guys can be a jerk. Let's talk about it when you have a handsome boyfriend."
The two clerks fell silent: "..."
So true, I can't refute it.
No matter how Ye Jia struggled, Ji Xuan pulled him abruptly and walked around the entire high-end men's clothing area. In the end, Ye Jia was too lazy to resist.
Anyway, no matter how directly and ruthlessly he refused, the other party could always find all kinds of crooked reasons to fight him back.
Ye Jia was wearing a large bag and a small bag, and followed Ji Xuan with a look of lovelessness.
Ji Xuan walked in front of him with great interest, his eyes swept across the shop windows in front of him, and seemed to be very happy.
A couple walked ahead.
The girl's eyes fell behind Ye Jia, touched her boyfriend with her elbow, and complained half-truth: "Look at people, go shopping with your girlfriend and do your best, then you and me After walking a few steps, I started screaming tired."
Ye Jia: "I don't..."
He suddenly realized that he didn't need to explain to the stranger, so he swallowed the words that he blurted out a little sullenly.
At this time, Ji Xuan, who was walking in front, saw a store, his eyes lit up, he turned his head and waved to Ye Jia: "Quick, this is for you!"
The couple turned their heads towards them, and their gazes stayed on the luxury brand for a moment.
The boy said quietly: "Look at other people's girlfriends, you gave me a pair of Taobao gloves for nine yuan and nine free shipping last year."
girl:"…"
Ye Jia couldn't help but turn his head: "He's not—"
But the two couples have gone far.
Ye Jia resignedly sighed and followed Ji Xuan into the shop.
Ji Xuan squinted his eyes, swept across the shelves with a particularly vicious look, pulled out the clothes one by one, and piled them into Ye Jia's arms: "This, this, this... and this one."
Ye Jia stuck his head out from behind his clothes with difficulty: "Do you want to murder?"
Ji Xuan stopped.
He couldn't help but push Ye Jia into the dressing room: "Try..."
Ye Jia looked at the narrow fitting room in front of him, then turned to look at the closed door behind him, and sighed in despair.
-at this point.
Break the jar.
Five minutes later, the door to the fitting room was opened from the inside.
The young man came out.
The clerk sighed: "Your girlfriend's eyesight is too good!"
She has been a clerk for so many years, and she has already practiced the ability to close her eyes and praise, but at this moment, her admiration is absolutely from the heart.
The other party's figure is slender and straight, and he is a natural clothes hanger. At this moment, he is lined with high-quality clothes, and he looks more and more extravagant. The light-colored pupils show a clear amber color under the bright light. , a kind of mystery and alienation beyond the edge of the world.
- The only fly in the ointment is that the youth's expression is a little too stiff.
Ye Jia opened his mouth: "Actually..."
"Thank you for the compliment..." Ji Xuan smiled lowly, "I want this set..."
He should not change his face, he is extraordinarily skilled.
Ye Jia: "..."
Ji Xuan stepped forward, his dark eyes were half hidden under his eyelashes, and if his vision was substantial, he carefully swept Ye Jia's body inch by inch from top to bottom—
Ye Jia felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, as if... he was stripped naked by the eyes of the other party.
He frowned and said cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Ji Xuan's thin lips were raised, and a trace of scarlet blood flashed from the bottom of his dark eyes, like the ripples on the lake surface.
He stretched out his hand, adjusted Ye Jia's collar, and said dumbly, "My eyesight is really good."
Time passed unexpectedly fast.
After they walked out of the store, although the shopping mall was still brightly lit, the dark sky could already be seen from the glass skylight overhead, but there were still people around, with smiles on their faces. Wandering around the hall.
Ye Jia's eyes fell on a milk tea shop at the entrance of the mall, and his eyes that had been dead all day suddenly lit up.
He piled the large and small bags to Ji Xuan's side: "Wait..."
Ji Xuan was stunned, as if he did not expect the other party to suddenly come out: "Eh..."
However, before his next words came out, the other party's back had quickly disappeared in front of him.
After ten minutes.
The young man came back with two cups of milk tea.
He naturally handed one of the cups to Ji Xuan, and then inserted the straw into the other bottle in his hand.
The warm, sweet, mellow liquid with a hint of tea fragrance slips into the throat, and it has a magic power that can make people feel happy immediately.
Ye Jia sat down on the bench, his long legs slightly bent, and he said quite relaxedly: "This store has never opened in M City, but I have heard of it for a long time, and I see people say it is delicious."
He shook the bottle and said thoughtfully, "It's actually quite reliable."
Ye Jia took another sip and asked casually, "What do you think?"
Ji Xuan held the milk tea, and the warmth in his palm penetrated into the ice-cold skin and bones, making Li Gui even have an illusion of warmth.
He turned his head, his dark eyes fixedly staring at the young man's smooth profile, his voice was low, and he said slowly: "Indeed..."
Ye Jia turned his head and frowned: "But didn't you taste it?"
Ji Xuan suddenly leaned forward without warning, and his thin and cold lips brushed against the skin beside the youth's lips, like a dragonfly touching water, and it was as soft as a feather brushing, and it was like a fleeting dream.
Ye Jia was startled, his eyes widened suddenly.
But before he could react, the other party withdrew.
Ji Xuan chuckled lightly: "No need to taste..."
- It's already sweet enough.
Ye Jia deliberately kept a few steps away from Ji Xuan.
He lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the ground a few steps in front of him, there was no expression on his face, his thin lips were pursed tightly into a cold straight line.
The corners of his lips became hot under the force of wiping.
He is not afraid of pain, and he is even used to it, but the strange feeling on the small piece of skin on his lips can't be ignored at all, even though he has almost wiped a layer of skin off.
Suddenly, Ji Xuan, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly and turned to look at Ye Jia.
Ye Jia was startled, stepped back a few steps like a stress reaction, and said vigilantly: "What are you doing?"
But this time, Ji Xuan's face removed the previous relaxation and cynicism, his eyes were slightly dark, and he said in a low voice: "There is news from the even master, he said, and asked."
Ye Jia's expression froze.
He said, "Let's go..."
The two walked quickly towards the dark and uninhabited alley. In the next second, the figures in the alley disappeared, as if they had never appeared at the beginning. The street was still brightly lit, full of people, and no one was there. Notice the two people who suddenly disappeared.
Inside the warehouse…
The puppet master sat on the high stack of books, dangling his short legs triumphantly, and at his feet lay the tortured Specter who couldn't see its original shape, and the ground was oozing with a sticky stench. There are broken internal organs and bone fragments floating in the blood, and the pages below have been soaked with blood, which looks extremely terrifying: "How is it? Is it very efficient?" The puppet master proudly showed off: "I've improved upon your original method, not just..."
Ye Jia is not interested in hearing how he tortured him, the only thing he cares about is the result: "Where?"
The puppet master pouted, "You're so boring..."
He jumped down and stomped heavily on the shattered and shapeless Specter. The other party trembled, and a shrill and painful howl came out of his throat. Handed the note to Ye Jia.
"As a reward..." He pointed to the Specter behind him: "Can it belong to me?"
Ye Jia is well aware of this guy's hobbies.
It is estimated that I want to make a ghost doll collection again.
He nodded: "You can..."
After speaking, Ye Jia hurriedly walked out of the warehouse.
The puppet master stared at his back and pouted, "It's boring..."
He turned his head to look at the crippled ghost, a dreamy smile raised on his tender little face: "Of course, you are different, my baby..."
Accompanied by the crisp giggling of the children, the screams of the Specter resounded throughout the empty and dark warehouse.
seaside…
The cargo ship is docked on the shore, and the workers are directing the crane to load the heavy and huge containers onto the cargo ship. The sound of shouting echoes in the dark night. Their voices are extraordinarily distant, and they appear in the clattering sound of the waves hitting the reef. Some are not real.
Bottom of cargo hold.
In the cabin where the two players were sitting, they were playing cards lazily.
Behind it is a pile of goods, and simple light bulbs hang overhead, shaking with the vibration of the cabin, the light flickers on and off.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
Another player threw out a pair of six, propped his chin, and said lazily, "Of course we'll wait for it to be delivered, or do you think they won't send someone to guard it?"
— to k.
"There are so many ghosts and monsters on this ship, why do you still use us?" the player complained.
"Don't complain..." the other player said: "Anyway, we'll be able to go on deck after the boat is off."
Saying that, he threw out a pair of a.
The other side was silent.
The player smiled, looked down at the remaining cards in his hand, and said, "Don't? If you don't want me, I can..."
As he spoke, he raised his head.
- There is no one in front of you.
I don't know since when, the other person who was sitting across from him and playing cards with him disappeared.
The player was stunned for a moment, and reflexively wanted to take out a weapon.
The next second, the light bulb above his head shook violently, and he was knocked to the ground by some kind of force.
Cold fingers stuck to his throat like iron tongs, knees pressed against his chest, and there was a crackling sound of ribs shattering.
The player rolled his eyes and felt that the air in his lungs was quickly drained, and blood foam overflowed from the corners of his lips.
In the dizzy sight, he saw the light bulb swaying rapidly above his head, leaving a burning afterimage on his retina, and he could hardly see the person who was holding him tightly, only the other party. That cold, sharp gaze, with a murderous intent that made him tremble, wedged him firmly on the floor behind him, like a flying insect nailed to a specimen board: "Where is the thing? ?" The other party's voice was very cold, like ice and snow that had not melted in a thousand years, his voice was slightly deep, without a trace of human emotion.
The player struggles, still trying to fight back.
Slowly apply pressure to the opponent's knee.
The tip of the shattered rib pressed against his lungs, causing tremendous pain.
The voice above his head came from a high and condescending manner, very soft and very slow: "Are you trying to wait for those specious ghosts outside to find out what's going on here?"
Due to his throat being strangled, the player was unable to speak, but his heart was suddenly shocked.
Yes, he did think so,
The young man chuckled softly, and the voice echoed in the huge warehouse, inexplicably creepy: "Don't worry, they can't hear it."
What, what? !
The player was horrified.
What's the meaning? What is it that you can't hear? !
A thought that made him panic slowly came to his mind, causing him to subconsciously start to chill all over, the broken ribs in his chest pierced through the flesh with the heavy pressure, and the pain came to life. The loss of blood in his body began to make him shiver. It is the panic and fear that radiates from the bones.
"Where is the thing?" The young man leaned down slightly, his voice soft.
The player's eyes darkened. Under the domination of pain, he raised a hand tremblingly, pointed to a short distance, and said with difficulty: "No. 3rd row... Number... 7, 6, 48..."
Ye Jia stood up slowly and walked in the direction the other party pointed.
Item No. 7648.
A small gray box, hidden in a dusty shelf, but when Ye Jia touched it, he could feel that the outside was densely covered with layers to prevent detection. Props, if you look for them one by one in the cabin full of cargo, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Ye Jia is not ready to open it here.
The first is that there may be some countermeasures in it, and it is too wasteful of time. If other Specter's support arrives, it will be troublesome to escape.
He walked up to the player lying on the ground and chuckled, "Thank you..."
The next second, the cold light suddenly lit up under the shaking light, like a light suddenly flashing from the darkness.
The soft limbs twitched and stopped moving.
The dark red blood spreads slowly like a calm lake, and the pool of blood reflects the flickering lights, dyeing the icy ground of the cabin red, and the blood gradually climbs onto the scattered cards like tentacles. , dyes the snow-white corner of the top card into a dazzling bright red.
Jet black ink words flashed in red and white.
That's an ace.
