Chapter 3
In the next second, the little black hand that was squeezed into a thin sheet struck out again from the gap in the refrigerator, and perseveringly reached out in front of Ye Jia, shaking greatly:
“Can you see me? I don’t believe you can’t see me, friend? Friends?”
Ye Jia’s hand holding the water cup tightly: “…”
It does not seem to be an illusion.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: “…I killed you.”
Is your business skills unfamiliar to this extent? Can this kind of thing that should have been eliminated be able to dance in front of you again?
“Yes, it is…”
As if feeling a vague sense of danger, Xiao Hei’s swing was much smaller: “Almost all of my energy is gone, and thanks to this, I can wake up…but…”
“I, I found… I can’t leave you a hundred meters around…” Xiao Hei shrank into a ball, “Anyway, it will be discovered sooner or later, so it’s better to talk about it, although I don’t remember what happened before.” It’s very clear, but I’m familiar with the taste on you. Do you want to become stronger, right? I think we can mutually benefit each other, because you see, as a ghost, I can give you some ways and methods, and you just need Just let me recover a little bit of vitality…”
It became more and more mad, excitedly swinging a few black hands lying on the ground, as if it had already seen its own bright future.
Ye Jia: “…”
This ghost is really noisy.
He rubbed his temples that were swollen and painful due to overtime, and snapped the empty cup in his hand with his backhand to the little black hand that kept shaking.
Little Black Hand: “…”? ? ?
It tried to incarnate its body and escape from the glass-but it couldn’t.
The phantom dashed across the glass, making a “ding ding ding” sound, but the small cup clasped on the head looked like a copper wall and iron wall.
Xiao Hei Shou panicked: “You, what did you do? Why can’t I get out?”
“You said you don’t remember too clearly before?” Ye Jia yawned.
His eyes were full of lifelessness caused by lack of sleep, and he said blankly: “It’s okay, I will remind you of it.”
Dark shadows slowly gathered in his hands.
The temperature in the room dropped several degrees in an instant, a shadow that was not physically significant enveloped the whole room, and a sharp and icy danger gradually descended.
Ye Jia smiled shortly:
“It was my mistake last time, not this time.”
The little black hand retreated instinctively, turning into a thin sheet of paper, tightly pressing against the glass behind him, and screamed in horror:
“Wait, wait! Good discussion, good discussion! You, you, you, don’t come over—”
The phantom turned into an entity in Ye Jia’s hands.
That is a sickle.
The simple and unpretentious bony knife handle is slender and long, holding a crescent-like blade, the blade is like a pool of clear moonlight, the forest is white and bright, and you can feel the cold blood of the period from a distance. .
…Wait, sickle?
“It’s you?!” Xiao Hei Shou screamed.
In the next second, the sickle swiped downwards—
It cut through the air with ease, and the paper-thin blade fell like a phantom, without hurting the wall of the cup at all, silently and quickly came to the little black hand.
Then he stopped abruptly in front of it.
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes: “Do you know me?”
The little black hand scrambled to the corner of the cup away from the sickle, stammering and screaming: “Ace! You are Ace!”
Ye Jia was startled.
In the next second, the phantom of the sickle turned into pitch black smoke, which instantly disappeared into the air.
He hadn’t heard this name for a long time.
Ace, the only player to pass the infinite stream escape game, the uncrowned king that no one can surpass on the standings.
-From the moment he left the game, Ye Jia thought that this name would never ring in his ears again.
“You, you are the highest ranked one on the hatred list! Now just a clue about you, the amount of rewards has been as high as 80 million points!”
Ye Jia: “…”
? ? ?
What the hell?
No. 1 on the hatred list? ?
There are bright and dark lists in the game. The bright list is the high score list, and the dark list is the hatred list. The higher the hatred value among the ghosts drawn by the player in the game, the higher the ranking of the list. The higher the ranking, the higher the ranking. There are more ghosts who are willing to pay for his life with strength and points.
If you offend a ghost who has been practicing for a hundred years, and still don’t have the power to kill the roots, then wait for it to be on the list and be chased by other lusty ghosts.
In Ye Jia’s memory, he never ranked high on the list.
—Wandering away from twenty to thirty people.
After all, despite his reputation, Ye Jia thinks he acts low-key, and rarely mixes the wickedness between ghosts and players, and even if there is any enmity, he often resolves it on the spot, rarely staying overnight.
And more importantly…
Ye Jia repeated in disbelief: “80 million points???”
He pondered it over and asked:
“Can it be exchanged for RMB?”
Little Black Hand: “…?”
Is your focus wrong?
After careful consideration, Ye Jia sighed regretfully.
The rewards on the hatred list are not good, and the game is broken, the exchange is also a big problem, otherwise he really wants to take this reward.
He reluctantly pulled his attention away from his poor salary and bonus, and continued to ask:
“Who posted it?”
“Who can it be?” Xiao Hei Shou answered naturally, “Of course it is the king.”
King? what is that?
Ye Jia was even more confused.
There are indeed distinct classes between the ghosts and the ghosts, and there is a clear distinction between ghosts and ghosts, but the king? Never heard of it.
At least until he cleared the level, this king didn’t exist at all.
“Except that king?” Ye Jia asked: “Who else is offering me a reward?”
The little black hand replied: “Nothing.”
Ye Jia: “?”
How can it be?
Before he cleared the level, there were not a few thousand or hundreds of ghosts offering him a reward. How could it be that there are fewer now?
This unscientific!
“No, but the reward is just a clue to the reward!” It may be that Ye Jia was worried that he would be tricked, and the little black hand quickly showed his loyalty: “And, the boss, you believe me! My spirit body is tied to you now. , Give me 800 courage and dare not betray you!”
“…” Only offer clues? Desperate?
Ye Jia almost laughed.
There are such gentle ghosts in the game?
Do not make jokes.
-Ghosts have no moral bottom line. Ye Jia didn’t intend to believe every word this guy said from the beginning, let alone such an outrageous thing.
Ye Jia put this topic aside easily.
He changed the subject:
“So, you came out of the game?”
“Yes, yes!” The little black hand pressed against the wall of the cup and replied tremblingly.
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes: “How did you do it?”
Xiao Hei’s hands shrunk even smaller: “I, I don’t know! One day, the door suddenly opened! So I came out!”
After hearing its answer, Ye Jia suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He asked:
“Who else has come out besides you?”
“I don’t know,” Xiao Hei shook his hand: “The door is there. As long as you can see it, you can come out, I think.”
Ye Jia was startled.
Across the thin wall, one can vaguely hear the sound of the oversized morning news broadcast next door:
“…In recent days, disappearances have occurred frequently, and the police are currently investigating…”
Ye Jia’s eyes were dark.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the little black hand that was held upside down in the cup, and his tone was relaxed:
“Thank you for telling me about this.”
However, before the little black hand was relieved, the blade condensed in the air again in the next second.
Ye Jia lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes:
“Now your mission is over.”
Little Black Hand: “…”
…Who is the ghost of us?
Seeing that the blade was about to approach, it screamed again: “Wait, wait, wait! I still have something to tell you!”
“You first went to the building to find the girl’s spirit body, right!” Xiao Hei said incoherently, and said in one breath: “I was too hungry to eat her remaining spirit body, but I didn’t expect It has been contaminated inside! That’s why I lost my mind and was eroded by grievances! I have the remaining memories of her!”
Ye Jia Ye Jia moved for a while:
“Um?”
“I can take you to the last place in her memory!” Xiao Hei shivered, and unconsciously used honorific words: “Please be merciful! I’m very useful!”
The sickle disappeared.
Ye Jia thoughtfully.
The last place in my memory…?
It is very likely that it will be the cause of the instigator.
He turned his head and glanced at the nearly half-height documents on his desk, and the headache of staying up late came again—
A case of disappearance fell to the Logistics Department, which is equivalent to 128 documents.
Let that unknown ghost continue to act recklessly, and so on, two people are two hundred and fifty-six shares, and three people are three hundred and eighty-four shares…
After calculating this simple arithmetic, Ye Jia took a breath of fright.
According to this increase, let alone weekends, his annual leave is estimated to be in vain.
—He doesn’t want to be overworked at a young age!
Ye Jia lowered his head and examined the glass carefully for a few seconds, before the little black hand tremblingly thought he was going to die.
He took a slow and deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said with difficulty:
“…Let’s go.”
Unpaid overtime, this is too miserable.
·
There are people who are noisy and yelling all around.
The aunt carrying the vegetable basket, the middle school students who are going to school, and the elites in suits and shoes are all crowded in the small bus station.
Ye Jia, who hadn’t slept all night and had no time to rest, stood expressionlessly in the crowd, with a look of hopelessness and malaise.
He lowered his voice: “Are you sure… the last place in the girl’s memory is the bus?”
“Of course!” The little black hand that others couldn’t see squatted on Ye Jia’s shoulder and replied.
Ye Jia: “Could it be where she wants to go?”
“No.” Xiao Hei Shou replied with a vow: “I remember, the last scene she saw in her lifetime was in the bus!”
“Which way?”
“This…I don’t know.” The little black hand narrowed his voice: “However, once the car arrives, her grievances will respond, and I know it!”
It flatteringly pinched his shoulders with its two dark hands, “Don’t worry, right now! The car will be here soon.”
Ye Jia said gloomily:
“…It’s better.”
As time passed, people around him squeezed onto the bus and left.
The sun above his head gradually rose three poles, and then gradually set to the west.
There are fewer and fewer people under the stop sign, and the air pressure around Ye Jia is getting lower and lower.
Xiao Hei’s hands were frightened, shrinking and shrinking.
Finally, just before the sun was three poles, a bus turned the corner and drove over, and the number above could be seen from a distance: No. 148.
“This!” The little black hand became active in an instant, and began to wave his body.
Ye Jia glanced at it coolly.
At this moment, the bus stopped in front of him, and the folding door slowly opened in front of him.
Ye Jia walked up. He reached out and fetched two coins from his pocket. He was about to throw them into the coin box, but only heard a surprise voice not far away:
“Brother Ye?”
The two coins rolled down and clinked.
Ye Jia raised his head in amazement and looked in the direction of the sound.
Although it was daytime, the carriage was empty. Only a few people with their heads covered were sitting in the corner of the bus, shaking as the car started.
In the middle of the car, near the window, Ye Jia saw a familiar face.
Cheng Cezhi waved to him excitedly:
“Brother Ye! I didn’t expect it to be you!”
Ye Jia: “…”
Damn, why is he here.
The little black hand secretly asked in his ear: “Boss, do you know him?”
Ye Jia ignored it.
He leaned on the handrail and walked quickly towards Cheng Cezhi in the moving carriage.
Cheng Cezhi actively moved inward to make a place for Ye Jiakong, and then babbled endlessly: “I really didn’t expect the medical department of our bureau to be so far away. It was too late yesterday afternoon. I guess I won’t be able to go home until 11 or 12 in the evening after I go, so I just go today, anyway, the minister gave me three days off…”
“Three days?” Ye Jia was startled.
Cheng Cezhi nodded happily, “Yes, I think our minister still cares for his subordinates!”
“…” Ye Jia, who had never been granted leave for more than half a day, fell into silence.
Cheng Cezhi didn’t notice:
“Brother Ye, do you feel uncomfortable in that building? It’s a good thing to check it out. After all, it is not fun to live in nightmares. The resentful spirits passing by that building are probably quite strong, even ordinary Everyone will be affected. After I went back, I sat in a nightmare.”
The resentful spirit in his mouth was sitting on Ye Jia’s shoulder at the moment, playing with his fingers idly.
Ye Jia took a deep breath and interrupted him:
“Get out of the car quickly.”
Cheng Ceyi was stunned: “Hmm…? Why?”
“You got on the wrong bus.” Ye Jiayan succinctly: “The bus to the medical department is No. 48.”
Cheng Ce was stunned: “Huh? I just came to M City not long ago, and I am not familiar with this aspect.”
He lowered his head and flipped through the medical manual distributed by his department, and made a clattering noise in the compartment that was so quiet that only the engine was running: “Yes, it is indeed 48. I’m so stupid, I can read it all wrong. …Also, I have never heard that there are 148 roads in M city…”
While talking, one of Cheng Ce stood up, raised his voice and shouted:
“Master driver! Hello! Sorry! May I stop at the next stop!”
Ye Jia turned sideways to let him walk over, glanced through the bus window inadvertently, and then suddenly stopped.
The previously sunny weather did not know when it disappeared. The spacious and tidy asphalt road was enveloped by the tumbling gloomy fog, and it was slowly surging outside the window of the bus. Peeping into the bus in the dense fog.
The car was bumpy, but the cabin was silent.
The whole car was shrouded in silent silence, and there was a creepy and creepy atmosphere.
Ye Jia “cocked” in his heart.
I’m afraid it’s too late to get off the car now.
He turned his head abruptly, looked at Cheng Cezhi who hadn’t noticed, and said abruptly:
“Wait…”
However, the next second, the car stopped.
Ye Jia choked.
—Why doesn’t this car get its license plate according to the routine?
Immediately afterwards, only a “click” sound was heard, and the car door opened.
Cheng Cezhi happily thanked him, “Thank you, Master!”
After speaking, he walked towards the car door.
But before he walked to the door, he only heard two “buzzing” sounds. The lights in the bus flashed twice, and the inside of the bus was as quiet as death. In the next second, the entire body of the car suddenly leaned to one side as if being pressed by a heavy object—
It’s like something is coming up.
As he moved closer to Cezhi’s shoulder, Ye Jia clearly saw the behemoth that made the entire car lean to one side.
Unexpectedly, it was a very thin person.
He is almost two meters tall, and his thin arms and legs are like bamboo poles, as if there is only a layer of skin covered with bones, like a shadow.
The invisible thick fog almost swallowed the thin and slender limbs from behind it, making its body appear thinner and thinner as a piece of paper, and it looks even more weird and ugly in such an environment.
Ye Jia: “…”
Damn, acquaintances.
