Chapter 25 - \\\"Can\\\'t be rushed.\\\"
When hearing the familiar voice, Ye Jia’s brain was blank for a moment: “…”
This… isn’t it true?
However, the slow approaching footsteps behind him broke his last illusion.
Ye Jia closed his eyes in despair.
—Why does this person like to sneak from behind him so much! Are there any diseases? !
After two seconds of stunned, A-mi was the first to react. It shook all over, then quickly turned around and bowed: “King!”
Ye Jia turned around, biting his head and saluting: “…King.”
Standing under the street lamp in backlight, Ji Xuan’s tall and slender figure was outlined by the dim light. With a pair of red eyes half-squinted, he said casually: “Okay.”
Ami asked in fear: “Wang, you, why are you here?”
“How can you hear such an interesting conversation if you don’t come?” Ji Xuan’s gaze fell on Ye Jia’s body, and his thin, pale lips turned up with a smile, “So, what do you want to know?”
Ye Jia: “…”
I don’t want to know anything now.
Compared to Ye Jia, who was directly named by Ji Xuan, Ami’s reaction was significantly greater. It trembled like a lightning strike, and the face with blurred facial features seemed to be able to see clear fear: “Wang…Wang, yes My fault…I shouldn’t be behind your back…”
Ji Xuan retracted his gaze and glanced at Ami lightly: “Shut up.”
A-mi was as quiet as a chicken in an instant.
He came over unhurriedly, stopped in front of Ye Jia, and asked with interest: “Are you interested in me?”
Ye Jia hurriedly said, “No, no—”
Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows: “Are you not interested in me?”
“…” Ye Jia choked.
Why… the direction of the dialogue has become a bit wrong?
He racked his brains for a few seconds, and then answered dryly: “No…I am only interested in you within the range of normal subordinates’ admiration for the boss.”
Why does it sound more wrong? ? ?
And Ami, who witnessed everything on the side, seemed to be overly frightened, and her ethereal figure swayed. It seemed that he could pass out in the next second.
Ye Jia waited nervously, but did not hear the other party’s movement after waiting for a long time.
He quietly raised his eyes and looked at the man standing in front of him, but accidentally slammed into the depths of Ji Xuan’s dark, **** eyes.
Ye Jia’s breathing was slightly choked.
At that moment, he almost thought his disguise had been seen through.
However, Ji Xuan withdrew his gaze nonchalantly in the next second.
His eyes drooped slightly, his pale face looked cold and indifferent under the street lamp, like an inhumane sculpture, and his low voice had a hard texture that was almost metallic:
“If this is the case, then recognize your position.”
At the moment when he heard the threatening words from the other party, Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.
He respectfully performed a perfect courtesy at the man in front of him: “This kind of thing will never happen again, Wang.”
A-mi stared blankly at the scene in front of her, feeling that the unreality that she felt yesterday had reappeared, and it was stronger than last time.
Wang this time…
Is it so easy to talk?
Before, he saw a ghost chewing his tongue behind his back. After being caught by the king, Wang smiled and slowly tore the ghost to pieces, and finally forced the other party to use only the remaining head to break himself. After eating it, he kindly ended up that Li Gui’s life.
Yes, are you in a good mood recently?
Amy thought uncertainly.
But it’s not right. The number of ghosts who were fed blood gu fish has broken a new high some time ago, and even the blood gu fish have been eating it.
When Ami was puzzled, Ji Xuan seemed to have lost interest in this topic.
He looked at A-mi:
“Have you dealt with the remnants?”
Ami lowered her head a bit, and said tremblingly, “Yes, yes, there is nothing left.”
“Very good.” Ji Xuan nodded carelessly, but there was not much praise in his voice: “Put the news out and let those who are ready to see the fate of the betrayers.”
“Yes.” Ami replied hurriedly.
“As for you…” Ji Xuan’s gaze fell on Ye Jia again: “How are things going?”
Ye Jia: “…Yes, yes, I can get in right away…I think.”
Unexpectedly, Ji Xuan did not entangle on this point anymore.
“Speaking.” He half-squinted a pair of scarlet eyes, and the dark and deep light slowly flowed through the eyes, and his voice was low and dumb: “Since you have been under my command, I haven’t tested your strength yet.”
Ye Jia’s heart burst.
Ami intervened boldly: “Wang…Wang, today Aye has helped deal with the remnants of the worm mother. I have to say, your vision is really very good. He is the most promising newcomer I have ever seen!”
“Aye?” Ji Xuan raised his lips with a smile.
A trace of cold dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes, and the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop a few degrees in an instant.
His substantive gaze fell on Ye Jia’s body, and asked slowly: “Then—Aye, tell me, what kind of weapon are you good at using?”
Ye Jia’s muscles tightened slowly: “…paws.”
“Oh?” Ji Xuan asked with interest: “Let me see.”
Ye Jia’s eyes were slightly sharp, and the slender fingers hanging on his side suddenly moved, as if suppressing the instinctive preparation before the battle.
The atmosphere instantly stagnated.
Ami gritted her teeth—no, I can’t let my colleague who is finally pleasing to the eye anger Wang and die here at this time.
Yes, get saved.
It boldly broke the dead silence: “Um, king, the claws of the Aye race are only exposed when they mate…”
“Oh,” in just a few seconds before and after, Ji Xuan had already reduced the vaguely revealed evil spirit: “That’s it.”
His ending was elongated, and there was a trace of regret in his voice: “It’s a pity.”
Ji Xuan didn’t seem to be prepared to continue entangled with them on this topic.
He waved his hand and said calmly: “Go, come to me to report the progress of the mission once a week, and then the shadow ghost will tell you the location and time.”
Ye Jia: “…”
The other party’s topic changed too quickly, causing the killing intent that surged in his heart just now to vent like a punctured balloon.
…I suspect that I have been sexually harassed in the workplace.
But I have no evidence.
After listening to Ji Xuan’s words, Ami was relieved and hurriedly pulled Ye Jia to salute him, and then was about to drag her little friend who had almost died and left the scene—
“The shadow ghost stays.” Ji Xuan said without warning.
Ami’s eyes went dark.
It waved to Ye Jia pitifully, and then returned to the moody Ghost King with trepidation.
Before leaving, Ye Jia hurriedly turned his head and glanced behind him.
The tall man stood under the street lamp, as if watching his back quietly.
·
Ye Jia went straight back home.
The room was very quiet. I could vaguely hear the traffic coming from a distance through the window. The light was not turned on, and the dim and changing light shone through the glass, changing rapidly on the window sill and the ground.
Ye Jia sat motionless in the darkness, his eyes drooping slightly, a cloud of cloud covering his forehead.
His gaze settled firmly on his feet, as if caught in some kind of deep thought.
—I don’t know why, the scene that Ye Jia saw when I left hastily turned around made Ye Jia a little unforgettable.
The tall and tall man, long, independent from the street lamp, is like a dark silhouette, splitting the light and shadow into one bright and one dark, as if waiting for something.
It’s elusive and disturbing.
In fact, since Ji Xuan was involved, Ye Jia felt very bottomless from the beginning.
Especially he can’t be sure… the other party denied himself.
According to experience, he should be safe-after all, Ye Jia has enough confidence in himself in disguise, and there will be no trace of his previous breath, plus when in the game, all players’ faces are fake. Even if Ji Xuan became the ghost king now, Ye Jia didn’t think that the other party could be distinguished from his appearance and before.
The more important point is…
Ghosts are originally the product of extreme obsession and emotional fluctuations. Ye Jia has never seen a serious ghost who doesn’t hold grudges. It can even be said that the stronger the ghost’s ability and the higher the level, the more terrifying the obsession.
Judging from the fact that the other party was killed by his own hands, if his identity was revealed, Ye Jia would not feel that he could live without incident until now.
What’s more… he must now figure out what Ji Xuan’s purpose is.
Although Ye Jia is unwilling to have more involvement with his past, he can’t just sit back and watch the current situation-after the game crashes, too many ghosts and monsters lose their bondage, but behind this chaotic appearance, it seems that there are still hidden What is temporarily unable to be seen through the dark tide surging.
The power behind the bug mother that Ami said in the bus that was riding Li Gui towards the unknown…All the unstable factors are gathered in everything, which makes people feel extraordinarily uneasy.
And Ji Xuan… the ghost king.
As the king, what exactly does he want to do? Destroy mankind? Or do you rule the world?
Do I have to meet him again this time?
Ye Jia’s eyes drooped slightly, carefully examining his palm.
The room was dim, with pale palms, and under the light from the window, it was like a pale snow.
-The day before was stained with blood, and today it is as clean as ever.
However, the sticky and cold touch seemed to never disappear, still remaining in his palm and between his fingers.
At this moment, the voice of the little black hand rang from his ear: “What’s the matter with you?”
It climbed onto Ye Jia’s shoulder and asked quietly: “What are you thinking about?”
Ye Jia retracted his gaze: “It’s nothing.”
He paused, then suddenly asked, “For you, is Ji Xuan’s attitude… normal?”
The little black hand tried to think about it.
Its strength is too weak, even in the game, it is difficult to encounter a powerful ghost, even the occasional encounter with the king, it was a long glance.
However, a king who cares about his subordinates must be a good king!
The little black hand said solemnly:
“It’s normal!”
“Hmm.” Ye Jia replied non-committal, seeming to be distracted.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang without warning, and the screen lit up in the dark.
Ye Jia was taken aback and turned to the direction of the phone.
The little black hand leaned over, took the phone in his hand, and glanced at it.
It exclaimed like a suffocation: “God!”
Ye Jia frowned: “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Hei Shou hugged the phone and hurriedly moved over, his voice became a little distorted because of shock: “Look! Look!”
Ye Jia glanced at the phone, his eyes widened slightly:
“this…”
A transfer record flashes on the screen.
It was A-mi calling.
“A lot of money!” The little black-handed baby was holding his mobile phone and was dazzled by excitement. He almost cried with joy: “I have never seen so much money!”
—Especially after knowing Ye Jia’s salary card well, it became extremely aware of the poverty of his family.
Ye Jia looked at it twice before confirming that he was not dazzled.
He took a deep breath slowly and his eyes became bright and firm.
This part-time job is worth it!
·
“Fight, it passed.”
The shadow ghost’s figure was lower, as if the atmosphere didn’t dare to make a sound, he reported in fear.
“Go away.” Ji Xuan waved his hand casually.
“Yes.”
Ami was pardoned and turned and dived into the shadows.
Watching the shadow ghost disappear into the darkness, the expression on Ji Xuan’s face disappeared like thin snow under the sun.
The cold blood wrapped around him, as if to show the master’s gloomy mood.
His fingers lifted lightly.
A scarlet wave rose slowly on the ground, and the summoned blood gu fish appeared beside him, rubbing his white head against Ji Xuan’s palm.
Ji Xuan looked down at the blood gu fish around him, spreading his palms.
In the next second, a drop of semi-coagulated blood slowly emerged in his palm, half suspended in the air.
The blood gu fish opened its big mouth and put the drop of blood in its mouth. A whirlpool instantly surged on its huge spine covered in blood, and the whirlpool spread to the surroundings. Then, in the center of the whirlpool, it looked like Pictures from faraway places appear in it.
In a blurred back, a young man appeared in the center of the frame.
His face was shrouded in a hazy cloud, which was not clear, but he was still able to distinguish his tall and slender figure, like a sharp blade hidden in a scabbard.
Ji Xuan’s eyes stared at the picture in the whirlpool with solemn eyes.
He raised his hand, and his pale fingertips vacantly swept across the figure of the young man in the picture, his movements were gentle and slow, as if he was stroking some precious and fragile rare treasure.
“Aye…”
He murmured softly, his words were soft and gentle, but there was an inexplicably chilling sense of horror: “You never told me your name, brother.”
If the blood guyu turned around with feeling, he rubbed Ji Xuan’s hand with his head again, as if urging something.
“No, not yet, not yet in time.”
Ji Xuan’s gaze was fixed on the figure in the picture, and finally he no longer suppressed the emotions in his eyes, his paranoid and crazy possessive desire, and the terrible desire that seemed to be suffocating spread, he slowly and gently Say:
“I once scared him away once, and I don’t allow this kind of thing to happen again, so I have to take my time…”
He restrained the trembling of his fingertips, his scarlet eyes rolled with blood, and he whispered:
“Can’t be rushed.”
