After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

Chapter 68 "Because I made my brother angry."

The dreamer took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the person who suddenly appeared behind Ye Jia, his gentle face became ferocious: "Ji Xuan..."

Ye Jia turned his head to look, and saw Ji Xuan walking forward slowly.

His eyebrows and eyes are very deep, and he looks particularly oppressive when his face is expressionless, and there is a kind of coldness that oozes from his bones.

A pair of scarlet eyes were carelessly narrowed, looking down at the other party, the pupils were slightly dilated, and the expression at the bottom of the eyes seemed indifferent and contemptuous.

But only Ye Jia knows... This is because Ji Xuan is still in the weak stage!

His heart tightened.

Although even in the period of weakness, the weakening of Ji Xuan's strength will not be too great.But as an old player who has dealt with ghosts for many years, Ye Jia is very clear that the laws in ghosts are very similar to the cruelty of nature, survival of the fittest, and the strong prey on the weak.

Normally, the ghosts would not do anything because of the coercion of the ghost king, but once they find that their leader is weak, they will inevitably have different ideas and even attack them together—especially when Ji Xuan is now clearly in the opposite position with his mother Under such circumstances, many ghosts are actually watching from the dark.

The reason why there hasn't been much trouble in the world now, I have to say, is that a large part of the reason is that the ghosts are jealous of this ambiguous king.

The reason why Ye Jia refused to let Ji Xuan come to F city was precisely because of this.

Once this advantage is lost, the chain reaction that may follow is uncontrollable.

Not far away, the dream maker quickly adjusted his somewhat out-of-control facial expression and restored his calm appearance.

He straightened his sleeves, wiped off the dust that did not exist on the high-grade fabric, looked at Ye Jia, and said with a smile: "It seems that you really want to come here to make trouble."

"However, I'm not completely unprepared." The dreamer pulled out the chair and sat down slowly: "Look, mother has warned us a long time ago, after the puppeteer is caught by you, we will meet sooner or later. "

He raised his hand and tapped the button on the table.

In the next second, projection screens slowly floated up on the entire wall at the side, and the projections on them were actually the other three players who entered with Ye Jia——Chen Qingye, Wei Yuechu, and blast.

The scenes behind the three of them are different, but they are all stared at by something in the dark.

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes and stared at him expressionlessly.

The dreamer said, "Three of them are in my building, aren't they?"

Ye Jia's expression was slightly gloomy, and he stared at the other party steadfastly.

"Of course... I believe that your companions are not weak, and I am not confident that I can catch them all." The dreamer propped his chin thoughtfully, and said slowly: "So... just in case One, I also prepared this."

He tapped the screen again.

The projection on the wall not far away changed instantly, turning into small squares the size of tofu cubes, and each square contained a person's face. Ye Jia recognized the face he had seen downstairs. A few employees, but many more faces that were extremely unfamiliar.

The smile on the dreamer's face deepened: "There are more than 200 employees in my company, and there are thousands of ordinary people who have done normal transactions with me. Each of them has signed a contract with me-labor contract, investment contract ,wait wait wait……"

He rubbed his cheeks with his fingertips: "Of course, they didn't mortgage their souls, but as long as it's a contract, they must be able to manipulate, right?"

The dreamer smiled: "If something happens to me, not only your companions will be attacked, but all these ordinary people who just want to live well... will die."

There was a cunning expression on his face: "I am a ghost, I have never had the so-called bottom line and humanity, but the question is, do you have it? Can you let these innocent people die?"

The dreamer leaned forward and successfully narrowed his eyes slightly: "You always thought you were a cold person, didn't you?"

The expression on Ye Jia's face remained unchanged, and he looked back at him coldly.

"No, no, no..." The dreamer leaned back on the back of the chair, reached for the pen on the table, and turned it casually: "I made a deal with you, and I was even one step away from touching you Soul, my brothers and sisters have prepared a lot for your arrival, but only I know that none of these are needed.”

"If a businessman wants to make money, he must understand the weaknesses of human beings. Only in this way can we be invincible in the market." There was a sinister light in his eyes, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "As long as there are weaknesses, no matter how many Strong, but to me, it is as weak as an ant."

The dreamer said contemptuously, "Even you, ace."

Ji Xuan lowered his brows and eyes slightly, as if he wanted to step forward,

But Ye Jia raised his hand and grabbed his wrist.

Ji Xuan lowered his eyes, glanced at Ye Jia, and stopped obediently.

The dreamer played with the nib in his hand and said, "Since you have nothing else to do with me...please leave?"

He has a gentle face and a smile: "I believe you don't need to ask me to call security, do you?"

Ye Jia's thoughts moved slightly.

Now that the other party has a showdown with him, the thousands of hostages are indeed not something he can completely ignore, and now that Ji Xuan is not in his prime, starting a war under such circumstances is harmful rather than beneficial, so it is better to leave temporarily and wait. Think of a solution before making a plan.

He calmly smiled at the dreamer: "Of course there is no need..."

Ye Jia held the man's slender and cold wrist with his fingers, and pulled him to turn around and walk out.

However, before walking a few steps, the lazy voice of the dream maker came from behind: "I never thought, I never thought, the majestic ghost king turned into a dog that was ordered around by ordinary humans, it's shameful, isn't it?" ?”

As soon as Ye Jia stopped his pace, his brows and eyes became colder a little bit following the words spoken by the other party.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

The smile on the dreamer's face was somewhat malicious: "I don't know if my mother will feel sad when she sees her direct descendants begging for mercy from human beings."

Ye Jia's voice was still calm and composed, with a slight indifference: "I also want to know, she saw that her offspring was beheaded by ordinary humans, and she hasn't recovered even now, so she only dared to play tricks, Instead of daring to face that weak human—how is she feeling?"

The face of the dreamer changed imperceptibly.

Ye Jia's lips were slightly raised, but there was no smile in the depths of those light-colored eyes, and the extremely oppressive aura spread out without any scruples: "I believe that she will not feel sad ... After all, how can ordinary ghosts compare with direct descendants?"

The dreamer's jealous taunts were returned as they were.

His face was uncontrollably gloomy, his distorted face was covered with a sinister expression, he stood up, his scarlet tongue twisted in his mouth, and his long nails dug deeply into the hard wooden tabletop , making a sharp creaking sound, as if it would rush over and twist his throat in the next second.

Ye Jia looked at him calmly.

And in his hand, a huge phantom of the sickle suddenly appeared, the icy cold light shone in the sun, and the sharp blade made the whole office look cramped.

The dreamer paused.

His eyes fell on the sickle in Ye Jia's hand, his expression was slightly stiff, as if he thought of some unpleasant memories.

"Unfortunately, my blade has forgotten what you taste like..."

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes, lightly brushed the blade with his pale fingertips, and said unhurriedly: "But don't worry, it will remember sooner or later."

The dreamer stared at the young man in front of him with eyes that seemed to be able to chew him up and swallow him, but the other party smiled at him casually, and then dragged the tall man beside him and walked out.

The door slammed shut behind him, echoing dully in the long corridor.

With a sullen face, Ye Jia grabbed Ji Xuan's arm and pulled him forward quickly.

Ji Xuan didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the other party's fingers on his wrist, with a happy expression on his face.

Halfway through, Ye Jia stopped abruptly and turned to look at the man behind him.

Ji Xuan hurriedly stopped and looked at him innocently.

Ye Jia took a deep breath: "Next time, don't follow."

He sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.

Ji Xuan also knew he was wrong, so he nodded obediently.

Ye Jia let go of his hand: "Go back..."

Ji Xuan regretfully glanced at the position on his wrist where the other party had just held it. The temperature of the young man's fingertips still seemed to linger on it, but he didn't really want to annoy Ye Jia who was on the verge of eruption, so he was very sensible He nodded and said, "Okay..."

His voice fell.

But...Ye Jia still saw the other party standing in front of him, looking back at him innocently.

Ye Jia: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xuan paused, and said in a very low voice, "I can't get out..."

Ye Jia: "..."

He asked, "Why?"

Ji Xuan: "You can't pull away ghosts here."

He paused and explained, "I followed you in because I left a mark on you."

So that's why the dream maker was so surprised when he saw Ji Xuan.

Ye Jia took a long, deep breath, raised his hands wearily, and pinched his brows.

That being the case, if Ji Xuan wanted to leave, he could only go out with him.

but……

Ye Jia couldn't help but start to have a headache when he thought of the three people who were still waiting for him outside.

Ji Xuan said: "If you want, I can become a child?"

Before Ye Jia could answer, the figure of the tall man in front of him shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he became a little boy up to Ye Jia's waist height.

Ji Xuan raised his delicate face, his scarlet eyes had turned into pitch black at some point, he held Ye Jia's palm hanging by his side, and shouted softly in a child's voice: "Brother... ..."

Ye Jia: "..."

okay...

Although the facial features of Ji Xuan's childhood state and adult state are similar, but due to the completely different aura and the change of pupil color, even Ye Jia, who used to get along with him day and night, can hardly recognize him immediately , not to mention other players who have only met a few times.

It is also difficult for ordinary people to imagine that the ghost king Ji Xuan would appear in the ghost company run by the dreamer in his childhood state.

The welcoming lady stood outside the elevator with a sweet smile on her face, obviously waiting there from the beginning.

She turned her head and looked at Ye Jia: "You are going to..."

Miss Yingbin's voice paused, and she was taken aback when she saw Ji Xuan. Obviously, she didn't expect a strange child to appear on the top floor where the upper and lower floors were strictly controlled.

Ye Jia: "He is with me."

The welcoming lady seemed a little at a loss: "But..."

Ye Jia twitched the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, your boss knows."

"Okay..." After receiving the explanation, the smile on Miss Yingbin's face rose again: "Excuse me, sir, please come in."

The elevator descends slowly.

When it fell to the bottom floor, the elevator made a ding sound, and the metal door of the elevator opened slowly in front of the three of them.

Just as the gate opened, Wei Yue, Chen Qingye, and blast seemed to have been waiting there.

They hurriedly gathered around: "How is it?"

Almost at the same time, each of their eyes fell on the strange little boy beside Ye Jia, and the three of them were taken aback, as if they didn't expect that there would be another person in the elevator: "This is...? "

The welcoming lady said with a smile: "This kid is with this gentleman."

Ye Jia: "..."

unwise……

He should have put a barrier on Ji Xuan to hide him from the very beginning.

It's all because the dreamer distracted him, otherwise he wouldn't have been led astray by Ji Xuan's idea of ​​shrinking in the corridor.

Moreover, he acted as an ace this time with the other three, so...it would be very dangerous!

Ye Jia forced a smile at the bewildered players in front of him: "It's a long story..."

Soon, the four of them left the building.

After confirming that they should have left the dream maker's monitoring area, everyone turned their heads to look at Ye Jia, as if waiting for his explanation.

Ye Jia: "..."

He took a deep breath, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "This..."

Ji Xuan also raised his head, his big dark and deep eyes fixedly looked at each other, as if he was also waiting.

"It was my former companion." Ye Jia paused and introduced with some reluctance.

Wei Yue blinked, and seemed to suddenly think of something: "Oh! I heard that you don't have teammates in the game, but you have always been with a child. Is it him?"

Ye Jia: "Yes..."

Both Chen Qingye and blast showed stunned expressions.

Although ace acts alone in the dungeon, most of the players who met him outside the dungeon know that he has been protecting a little boy. No one knows why such a strong player would show kindness. In the cruel game, there is also a drag bottle for yourself-after all, this little boy does not seem to be given a title by the game, and people do not know his name, and there is no one in the list at the front of the scoreboard that can match this feature. If he is a player on the Internet, then, he can only live for so long because of the protection of the boss.

This incident has always made many people envy and hate.

What a great experience it must be to be led to win by the top god on the list.

Chen Qingye, Wei Chuchu, and blast also knew about the existence of this child, but after Ye Jia left the game, that child seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.

Therefore, almost all players thought that after clearing the ace level, the child had no asylum, so he died in this cruel game.

Some people sighed, some sighed, and some gloated.

After the game crashed, although the three of Chen Qingye met ace in real life, they wisely did not mention the existence of this child.

——After all, they must have had a deep relationship after being together for so long, knowing that their friend died in the game after he left, it must be very sad for ace.

But what they didn't expect was...they were able to meet this legendary figure today.

Blast's eyes widened in surprise: "So you actually survived..."

Chen Qingye kicked him expressionlessly.

Blast let out a groan, and then reluctantly closed his mouth.

However, he can control blast, but he can't control Wei Yue who is also outspoken.

Wei Yue asked: "Since he didn't die, why didn't he appear next to Ace afterwards?"

Ye Jia: "..."

This question is really difficult to answer.

He can't say that this person is actually not a player, but Ji Xuan who is the king of ghosts.

Ji Xuan raised his eyes and said obediently in a child's voice, "Because I made my brother angry."

Wei Yueyue's heart melted: "This way, I believe your brother has forgiven you, right?"

Ye Jia: "..."

This question is also difficult to answer.

Ji Xuan said, "Not yet..."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "But I will try."

Wei Yuechu: "!"

sky!so cute!

Ye Jia cut off the increasingly dangerous topic in front of him, and said, "Okay, now let's talk about what you found."

First of all, he briefly recounted the conversation he had with the dream maker on the top floor—of course, the version without Ji Xuan.

After listening to Ye Jia's narration, everyone fell into silence.

This amount of information... is really a bit large.

Chen Qingye: "So, you once fought against the Dreamer and chopped off his head?"

Ye Jia: "Looking at it now, it should be like this."

Wei Yueyue showed a suddenly realized expression: "So, that's why he disappeared suddenly... It turned out that he was seriously injured and went to recuperate."

Blast couldn't hold back, and asked, "That...you really don't remember anything?"

Ye Jia spread his hands: "Yes..."

Chen Qingye held his chin thoughtfully, and said, "Since you said that the two of you had made a deal, your memory loss might be related to it."

Wei Yuechu sighed: "Unfortunately, if you remember the specific content, then we know exactly what we are dealing with. If we know his weakness, then we might be able to avoid hurting those thousands of people." In the case of hostages, kill the dreamer. And now..."

She doesn't finish her sentence, but the others are very aware of her voice-over.

Thousands of lives are now tied to the Dreamer, and if he dies, many more innocents will die with him—

The Dreamer was right about at least one thing.

He can have no bottom line and humanity.

However, they cannot sit idly by.

Blast kicked a small stone on the ground angrily: "Then there is nothing we can do now?"

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly.

He gently stroked the shallow scar on his wrist with his fingertips.

After leaving the top floor, the bump and redness of the scar disappeared, and it changed back to a color close to the skin, and the pale wrist was smoothed.

Ye Jia said slowly: "Not necessarily..."

In an instant, everyone looked at Ye Jia.

"Did you... remember anything?" Blast asked in a daze.

Ye Jia shook his head.

He lowered his wrist and continued: "I once signed a contract with the dream maker, and all other players who made deals with him died, but I survived and severely injured the dream maker."

Ye Jia smiled shortly: "This shows that there must be loopholes in his contract."

Chen Qingye's eyes lit up: "Yes..."

Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "If I can find out the first time, I can find out the second time."

His voice didn't fluctuate much when he spoke, and although his face couldn't be seen clearly, it made people feel uncontrollably convincing from the bottom of their hearts.

Ji Xuan raised his head, staring fixedly at the young man's face hidden in the shadows, his eyes flickering.

--it's beautiful.

The other three also cheered up.

Wei Yue asked: "Then what shall we do next? What are we going to do?"

"Follow the original plan." Ye Jia said: "Go and inform the administration first to see if this place can be monitored first, and then according to the previous method, find and sign deals with dreamers in those death cases." Victims of death, see if you can find any breakthrough in them."

"Okay..." The three of them nodded one after another.

At this moment, the door of the building behind them was pushed open, and a man with fluffy feet came out slowly.

He looked sluggish, with a face full of vicissitudes of life engraved with deep fatigue, and his eyes were thick with black and blue, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.

However, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Ye Jia's heart moved slightly.

He remembered this man.

This was the man sitting outside the door when the elevator stopped for the first time.

Ye Jia's mind turned with his thoughts, he walked forward quickly, raised his voice and shouted: "Sir!"

The man was in a daze for a moment, as if he realized that the other party was calling him: "What's the matter?"

Ye Jia went straight to the topic: "Excuse me, have you reached a deal with the devil?"

The man looked at him suspiciously, his eyes shifted, and he said evasively, "You, what are you talking about, I don't know."

Ye Jia said: "I actually came here to make a deal with them, but when I saw the bet, I regretted it. Betting my soul...is really not worth it, what do you think?"

A furious look appeared on the man's face: "You, what do you know?!"

He clenched his fists and roared: "My daughter is lying on the hospital bed, life and death are uncertain! If it were you, what would you do?"

"No matter what price I pay, I can't let her die!" The man stared at Ye Jia viciously, his voice full of anger choked with sobs: "As for those of you who don't feel backache while standing and talking, go to hell with me! What I am willing to sell is my business, you don't need to worry about it!"

Ye Jia was stunned for a moment.

The man's face was ashen, and he had obviously made up his mind. He turned around and got into the car parked beside him. Then, the engine sounded, and the car drove away.

Ye Jia stared fixedly at the gradually shrinking vehicles in the distance, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Things proceeded step by step according to what Ye Jia said.

With the addition of management personnel, the efficiency of screening has become much faster - soon, the cases they piled up on hand changed from fifteen to seventy, and then to two hundred.

After Ye Jia returned to the hotel, he began to read the documents non-stop, looking for any useful clues.

Time passed quickly, and night gradually fell.

In the boundless ocean of information, it becomes extremely difficult to find a breakthrough.

Ye Jia felt the weight on the side of the bed, he raised his head, and saw Ji Xuan sitting at the end of the bed, looking at him with bright scarlet pupils without blinking: "Brother, do you need help?"

He pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly, "Just a good night kiss."
