Chapter 25 "don't rush."
When hearing the familiar voice, Yejia's brain was blank for a moment: "..."
This... This is not true.
However, the footsteps approaching slowly behind him broke the last glimmer of fantasy in his heart.
Yejia closed his eyes in despair.
——Why does this man like sneaking from behind him so much!! Is there any disease?!
After being stunned for two seconds, Amy was the first to react. She was shocked, and then quickly turned around and bowed: "Wang!"
Yejia turned around and hardened his head to salute: "... King."
Ji Xuan stood under the street lamp, his tall and slender body was outlined by the dim yellow light, his red eyes half narrowed, and said carelessly, "OK."
Amy asked in fear, "Wang, why are you here?"
"How can you hear such an interesting conversation without coming?" Ji Xuan's eyes fell on Yezei, and his pale thin lips recalled with a smile: "so, what do you want to know?"
Yezei: "
I don't want to know anything now.
Compared with Yezei, who was directly named by Ji Xuan, Amy's reaction was obviously greater. She trembled like lightning. It seemed that she could see a clear fear on her fuzzy face: "Wang... Wang, it's my fault... I shouldn't be behind you..."
Ji Xuan took back his sight and glanced at Amy lightly: "shut up."
Amy was as quiet as a chicken.
He walked slowly, stopped in front of Yejia and asked with interest, "are you very interested in me?"
Yejia hurriedly said, "no, no --"
Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows: "are you not interested in me?"
"..." Yezei choked.
Why... Is there something wrong with the direction of dialogue?
He racked his brains for a few seconds, and then dryly replied, "no... I'm only interested in you... Within the admiration of normal subordinates to their superiors."
Why does it sound more wrong???
Amy, who witnessed everything, seemed to be too frightened and her ethereal body shook. It seems that you can faint directly in the next second.
Yejia waited nervously, but he didn't hear anything from each other for a long time.
He quietly raised his eyes and looked at the man standing in front of him, but he accidentally bumped into the dark and bloody eyes of Ji Xuan.
Yejia's breathing was slightly stifled.
At that moment, he almost thought his disguise had been seen through.
However, Ji Xuan took back his sight as if nothing had happened in the next second.
His eyes drooped slightly, and his pale face looked cold and indifferent under the street lamp, like an inhumane sculpture. In his low voice, there was a kind of cold and hard ground close to metal:
"In that case, recognize your position."
At the moment of hearing the other party's almost threatening words, Yejia breathed a sigh of relief without trace.
He respectfully made a perfect courtesy to the man in front of him: "this kind of thing won't happen again, Wang."
Amy stared blankly at the scene in front of her. She felt that the unreal feeling she felt yesterday appeared again, and it was stronger than last time.
Wang this time
Is it so easy to talk?
Before, he saw a fierce ghost chewing his tongue behind his back. After being caught by the king at the scene, the king slowly tore the fierce ghost to pieces with a smile. Finally, he forced the other party to eat his broken body with his only remaining head, which mercifully killed the fierce ghost.
Yes, are you in a good mood recently?
Amy thought uncertainly.
But it's also wrong. Some time ago, the number of ghosts fed with blood Gu fish has broken a new high, and even blood Gu fish have eaten up.
When Amy was puzzled, Ji Xuan seemed to have lost interest in this topic.
He looked at Amy:
"Has the disabled party been dealt with?"
Amy buried her head a little lower and said tremblingly, "yes, yes, there's nothing left."
"Very good." Ji Xuan nodded carelessly, but there was not much praise in his voice: "spread the news and let those who are ready to see the end of the Betrayer."
"Yes." Amy hurriedly replied.
"As for you..." Ji Xuan's eyes fell on Yezei again: "how is things going?"
Yezei: "... I should be able to get in right away... I think."
Unexpectedly, Ji Xuan did not entangle himself on this point.
"Speak up." He half narrowed a pair of scarlet eyes, the dark and deep light flowed slowly at the bottom of his eyes, and his voice was low and dumb: "I haven't tested your strength since you joined me."
Yejia's heart burst.
Amy ventured in: "Wang... Wang, ah Ye helped deal with the remnant Party of the insect mother today. I have to say that your vision is really very good. He is the most potential newcomer I have ever seen!"
"Ah ye?" Ji Xuan raised his lips with a smile.
A cold displeasure flashed through his eyes, and the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.
His real eyes fell on Yejia and asked slowly, "then - Yeh, tell me, what weapon are you good at using?"
Yejia's muscles slowly tightened up: "... Claws."
"Oh?" Ji Xuan asked with great interest, "let me see."
Ye Jia's eyes were slightly fierce, and the slender fingers hanging on his side moved suddenly, as if suppressing the instinctive preparation before the battle.
The atmosphere fell into stagnation in an instant.
Amy gritted her teeth - no, I can't let my colleagues who are hard to look at make Wang angry and die here at this time.
Have to, have to be saved.
It bravely and carefully broke the silence: "well, Wang, ah Ye's claws are only actively exposed when mating..."
"Oh," in just a few seconds, Ji Xuan had cleaned up the evil spirit he had faintly revealed before: "that's right."
His ending was lengthened, and his voice was mixed with an indisputable regret: "it's a pity."
Ji Xuan didn't seem to be prepared to keep pestering them on this topic.
He waved his hand and said calmly, "go. Come to me every week to report the progress of the task. Then the ghost will tell you the place and time."
Yezei: "
The other party's topic shifted so fast that his killing intention just now was like a punctured balloon.
... I suspect I have been sexually harassed in the workplace.
But I have no evidence.
After hearing Ji Xuan's words, Amy was relieved, hurriedly pulled Yezei to salute him, and then was ready to drag her little friend who nearly died to leave the scene——
"Shadow ghosts stay." Ji Xuan said without warning.
Amy's eyes darkened.
It waved pitifully to Yejia, and then returned to the moody ghost king with fear.
Before leaving, Yejia quickly turned his head and looked behind.
The tall man stood under the street lamp and seemed to be quietly watching his back.
Yejia went straight home.
The room was very quiet. Through the window, you could vaguely hear the traffic coming from a distance. The lights didn't turn on. The dim lights came in through the glass and changed quickly on the windowsill and the ground.
Yezei sat motionless in the dark, his eyes drooping slightly, and a cloud shrouded his forehead.
His eyes fell steadily at his feet, as if he were trapped in some very deep thought.
——I don't know why, when left, hurried back to see that scene, which was hard for Yejia to forget.
The tall and straight man is alone under the street lamp, like a dark silhouette, cutting the light and shadow into light and darkness, as if waiting for something.
Elusive and disturbing.
In fact, since it came to Ji Xuan, Yejia felt very bottomless from the beginning.
In particular, he was not sure... Whether the other party recognized him.
According to experience, he should be safe - after all, Yezei has enough confidence in himself in disguise, and there will not be any residual breath. In addition, when in the game, all players' faces are fake. Even if Ji Xuan has become the ghost King now, Yezei doesn't think the other party can recognize him from his appearance and before.
More importantly
Ghosts are the product of extreme obsession and emotional fluctuation. Yejia has never seen fierce ghosts without revenge. It can even be said that the stronger the ability of ghosts and the higher the level, the more terrible the obsession is.
According to the fact that the other party was killed by himself, if his identity was exposed, Yejia didn't think he could live safely until now.
What's more... He must now understand what Ji Xuan's purpose is.
Although Yezei did not want to have more involvement with his past, he could not sit idly by the current situation - after the game collapsed, too many fierce ghosts and monsters lost their shackles, but behind the chaotic appearance, there seemed to be a dark tide that could not be seen through for the time being.
The bus taking the fierce ghost to the unknown, the power behind the insect mother mentioned by Amy... All the unstable factors gather in everything, which makes people feel particularly uneasy.
And Ji Xuan... The ghost king.
What does he want to do as a king? Destroy mankind? Or rule the world?
Do I have to fight with him again this time?
Ye Jia's eyes drooped slightly and looked at his palm with great concern.
The room was dark and the palm was pale. Under the light from the window, it was like thin snow.
——The day before was covered with blood, but today it is as clean as ever.
However, the sticky and cold touch seemed to never disappear and remained between his palms and fingers.
Just then, the little black hand's voice sounded from his ear: "what's the matter with you?"
It climbed onto Yejia's shoulder and asked quietly, "what are you thinking?"
Yejia looked back and said, "nothing."
He paused and suddenly asked, "is Ji Xuan's attitude... Normal for you?"
The little black hand tried to recall.
Its strength is too weak. Even in the game, it is difficult to meet powerful fierce ghosts. Even when met Wang by chance, took a long look at him.
However, a king who cares for his subordinates must be a good king!
The little black hand said solemnly:
"Normal!"
"Well." Yejia answered noncommittally, as if he was distracted.
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang without warning, and the screen lit up in the dark.
Yezei was stunned and turned to the direction of the mobile phone.
The little black hand leaned over, took the mobile phone in his hand and took a look.
It issued a suffocating exclamation: "God!"
Yezei frowned: "what's the matter?"
Little Black hurriedly moved over with his mobile phone in his hand. His voice became distorted because of shock: "look! Look! "
Yezei glanced at the mobile phone and stared slightly:
"This..."
A transfer record flashes on the screen.
It's Amy.
"A lot of money!" The little black hand held the mobile phone baby, was dazzled by the excitement, and almost cried with joy: "I've never seen so much money!"
——Especially after knowing Yejia's salary card like the back of his hand, he was very deeply aware of the poverty of his family.
Yejia looked at it twice before he was sure he had no eyes.
He took a slow deep breath and his eyes became bright and firm.
This part-time job is worth it!
"Hit, hit."
The shadow ghost's body was lower. It seemed that the atmosphere didn't dare to make a sound, and reported with fear.
"Go away." Ji xuanman waved his hand carelessly.
"Yes."
Amy, as pardoned, turned and dived into the shadow.
Looking at the shadow ghost's body disappearing into the darkness, the expression on Ji Xuan's face disappeared like the thin snow under the sun.
The cold blood wrapped around him, as if announcing the master's gloomy mood.
His fingers lifted gently.
A scarlet wave rose slowly on the ground. The summoned blood Gu fish floated beside him and rubbed Ji Xuan's palm with his Mori white head.
Ji Xuan looked down at the blood Gu fish around him and spread out his palm.
The next second, a drop of half solidified blood slowly emerged in his palm and half hung in the air.
The blood Gu fish opened its big mouth and contained the drop of blood in its mouth. A vortex sprang up on its huge back covered with blood, and the vortex spread around. Then, in the center of the vortex, a picture seemed to come from a distant place appeared in it.
In a vague figure, a young man appears in the center of the picture.
His face was shrouded in a hazy cloud. He could not see clearly, but he could still distinguish his tall and slender figure, like a sharp blade hidden in the scabbard.
Ji Xuan stared at the picture in the vortex with his eyes.
He raised his hand, and his pale fingertips dashed across the body of the young man in the picture, moving gently and slowly, as if touching some precious and fragile rare treasure.
"Ah ye..."
He whispered softly, and his words were soft and gentle, but somehow he had a chilling sense of terror: "you never told me your own name, brother."
If the blood Gu fish turned around and rubbed Ji Xuan's hand with his head again, it seemed to be urging something.
"No, not yet, not yet."
Ji Xuan fixed his eyes firmly on the figure in the picture, and finally stopped suppressing his emotions at the bottom of his eyes. His paranoid and crazy desire for possession and his terrible desire that seemed to suffocate spread. He said slowly and gently:
"I once scared him away. I don't allow this kind of thing to happen again, so take your time..."
He restrained the trembling of his fingertips, and the blood color of his scarlet eyes rolled, and whispered:
"Don't rush."
