Chapter 68
The dreamer suddenly stepped back a few steps. His eyes were fixed on the man who suddenly appeared behind Yejia. His gentle face became ferocious: "Ji Xuan..."
Yezei turned his head and saw Ji Xuan slowly come forward.
His eyebrows and eyes are very deep. When his face is expressionless, he seems to have a sense of oppression. He has a kind of chilly awe from his bones.
A pair of scarlet eyes squinted carelessly and looked down at each other. The pupils scattered slightly, and the look at the bottom of the eyes seemed indifferent and contemptuous.
But only Yezei knows... This is because Ji Xuan is still weak!
His heart tightened.
Although even in the weak period, the weakening of Ji Xuan's strength will not be too great. However, as an old player who has been dealing with ghosts for many years, Yezei knows very well that the laws in fierce ghosts are very similar to those in nature, such as the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle.
At ordinary times, fierce ghosts will not do anything under the threat of the ghost king, but once they find that their leader is weak, they will have different intentions everywhere and even attack them in groups - especially when Ji Xuan is obviously in an opposite position with his mother, many fierce ghosts are actually watching in the dark.
Now the reason why the world has not caused too much trouble, have to say, a large part of the reason is that the fierce ghosts are wary of this ambiguous king.
Yejia didn't let Ji Xuan come to F City with him because of this.
Once this advantage is lost, the chain reaction may be uncontrollable.
Not far away, the dreamer quickly adjusted his uncontrollable facial expression and recovered his calm appearance.
He straightened his sleeves, patted off the dust that did not exist on the high-grade fabric, looked at Yejia and said with a smile: "it seems that you really want to smash the field."
"But I'm not unprepared." The dreamer opened his chair and sat down slowly: "look, mother warned us long ago. We will meet sooner or later after you catch the puppet master."
He raised his hand and touched the button on the table.
The next second, a whole wall on one side slowly floated up projection screens, which projected three other players who entered with Yezei - Chen Qingye, Wei yuechu, and blast.
The scenes behind the three of them are different, but they are all closely watched by something in the dark.
Yezei narrowed his eyes and stared at him expressionless.
The dreamer said, "all three of them are in my building, aren't they?"
Ye Jia's expression was slightly heavy and fixed his eyes on each other.
"Of course... I believe 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... I prepared this just in case."
He touched the screen again.
The projection of the wall not far away changed instantly into small squares the size of tofu blocks. In each square, there was a person's face. Yezei recognized the employees he had seen downstairs, but more faces were extremely strange.
The dreamer's smile deepened: "there are more than 200 employees in my company and thousands of ordinary people who have done normal transactions with me. Each of them has signed contracts with me - labor contracts, investment contracts, etc..."
He rubbed his cheek with his fingertip: "of course, they don't mortgage their souls, but as long as it's a contract, they can be hands and feet, can't they?"
The dreamer smiled, "if something happens to me, not only your companions will be attacked, all these ordinary people who just want to live well... Have to die."
His face showed a sly expression: "I'm a ghost. I never have the so-called bottom line and human nature, 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?"
Yejia's face remained unchanged and 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 carelessly: "I have made a deal with you, and I can even touch your soul one step away. My brothers and sisters have prepared a lot for your arrival, but only I know that these are not needed."
"If businessmen want to make money, they must understand human weaknesses. Only in this way can we go all the way in the market." His eyes twinkled with a sinister light, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "as long as there is a weakness, even if it is strong, it is as weak as an ant with me."
The dreamer said contemptuously, "even you, ace."
Ji xuanmei's eyes were slightly heavy, as if he wanted to come forward,
But Yejia raised his hand and took his wrist.
Ji Xuan lowered his eyes, glanced over Yezei and stopped obediently.
The dreamer played with the nib in his hand and said, "since there is nothing else for me... Please leave?"
He looked gentle and smiled: "I believe you don't need me to call security?"
Ye Jia's mind fretted.
Now the other party has had a showdown with him. The thousands of hostages are really not a problem that he can not think about at all. In addition, Ji Xuan is not in full bloom. In this case, it is harmful to start a war. It is better to leave temporarily and make plans after thinking of solutions.
He calmly smiled at the Dreamer: "nature doesn't need..."
Ye Jia's fingers held the man's slender and cold wrists and pulled him to turn and walk out.
However, before taking a few steps, the dreamer's lazy voice came from behind: "unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the great ghost king has become a dog called and drunk by ordinary humans. What a shame, isn't it?"
As soon as ye Jia's steps stopped, his eyebrows and eyes cooled down a little with the words of the other party.
He turned his head and looked behind him.
The smile on the dreamer's face was malicious: "I don't know if the mother will feel sad when she sees her direct descendants begging for mercy to mankind."
Yejia's voice was still calm, with a little Indifference: "I also want to know. She saw her offspring cut off their heads by ordinary humans, and she hasn't even recovered yet, so that she only dared to play tricks and dare not face the weak human - what's her feeling?"
The dreamer's face changed imperceptibly.
Ye Jia's lips were slightly picked, but there was no smile in the depths of his light eyes. The atmosphere of great oppression spread out without scruples: "I believe she won't feel sad... After all, how can ordinary ghosts and lineages compare?"
The dreamer's jealous ridicule was returned with the original flavor.
His face could not restrain itself. His twisted face was covered by a sinister expression. He stood up, his scarlet tongue twisted in his mouth, and his long nails dug deeply into the hard wooden table, making a squeaky sharp sound, as if he would rush to break his throat in the next second.
Yejia looked at him calmly.
In his hand, the huge virtual shadow of the sickle suddenly appeared, the cold light flickered in the sun, and the sharp blade narrowed the whole office.
The action of the dreamer.
His eyes fell on the sickle in Yejia's hand, his expression was slightly stiff, and he seemed to think of some unpleasant memories.
"Unfortunately, my blade has forgotten what you taste..."
Yezei narrowed his eyes, gently brushed the blade with his pale fingertip, and said calmly, "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 chew him up, but the other party smiled at him carelessly, and then dragged the tall man out.
The gate slammed shut behind him and echoed dully in the long corridor.
With a calm face, Yezei pulled Ji Xuan's arm and pulled him forward quickly.
Ji Xuan didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes and looked at the fingers held by the other party on his wrist. The expression on his face was a little happy.
Halfway through, Yejia suddenly stopped and turned to look at the man behind him.
Ji Xuan hurriedly stopped and looked at him innocently.
Yezei took a deep breath: "next time, don't follow."
He sounded gnashing his teeth.
Ji Xuan also knew he was wrong and nodded skillfully.
Yezei loosened his hand and said, "go back..."
Ji Xuan unfortunately glanced at the position on his wrist that the other party had just held. The temperature of the young man's finger belly seemed to still remain on it. However, he didn't want to annoy Yezei, who was approaching the edge of the outbreak, so he nodded very aware of the current situation and said, "OK..."
His voice fell.
But... Yejia still saw the other party standing in front of him and looked back at him innocently.
Yejia: "what's the matter?"
Ji Xuan paused and said in a very low voice, "I can't get out..."
Yezei: "
He asked, "why?"
Ji Xuan: "ghosts can't be opened here."
He paused and explained, "I came in because I left a mark on you."
So that's why dreamers are so surprised when they see Ji Xuan.
Yezei took a long, deep breath, raised his hand wearily and pinched his eyebrows.
In that case, Ji Xuan wanted to leave, so he had to go out with him.
But
When Yejia thought of the three people waiting for him outside, he couldn't help but start to have a headache.
Ji Xuan said, "if you need, I can become a child?"
Before Yejia could answer, the figure of the tall man shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he became a little boy up to the height of Yejia's waist.
Ji Xuan raised a delicate little face and a pair of scarlet eyes. He didn't know when they had become dark. He grabbed Ye Jia's palm hanging on his side and shouted softly in a child's voice: "brother..."
Yezei: "
Ok
Although the facial features of Ji Xuan's childhood state and adult state are similar, due to the completely different aura and the change of pupil color, even Yezei, who has been with him day and night, is difficult to recognize him immediately, let alone other players who have only met several times.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that Ji Xuan, the ghost king, would appear in the ghost company run by the dreamer as a child.
The welcoming lady stood outside the elevator with a sweet smile on her face. It was obvious that she had been waiting there from the beginning.
She turned her head and looked at Yejia: "are you ready now..."
The voice of the welcoming lady was shocked. She was stunned when she saw Ji Xuan. Obviously, she didn't expect that a strange child would appear on the top floor, which was strictly controlled up and down.
Yejia: "he is with me."
The welcoming lady seemed to be at a loss: "but..."
Yezei said, "don't worry, your boss knows."
"OK..." after getting the explanation, the smile on the welcome lady's face raised again: "excuse me, sir, please come in."
The elevator descended slowly.
When they 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 people.
The gate has just opened. Wei yuechu, Chen Qingye and blast seem to have been waiting there.
They hurried around and said, "how's it going?"
Almost at the same time, their eyes fell on the strange little boy beside Yejia. They were stunned. They didn't seem to expect that there would be an extra person in the elevator: "is this...?"
The welcoming lady said with a smile, "this child is with this gentleman."
Yezei: "
Blunder
He should have put a barrier on Ji Xuan to hide the other party from the beginning.
All blame the dreamer for dividing his God, otherwise he could not have been led astray by Ji Xuan's idea of becoming smaller in the corridor.
Moreover, he acted with the other three people as ace this time. This way... It will be very dangerous!
Yezei smiled reluctantly at the players with three faces 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 dreamer's surveillance area, everyone turned to Yejia, as if waiting for his explanation.
Yezei: "
He took a deep breath, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "this..."
Ji Xuan also raised his head. His big dark eyes looked at each other and seemed to be waiting.
"Is my former companion." Yezei paused and reluctantly introduced.
Wei yuechu blinked and seemed to suddenly think of something: "Oh! I've heard that you have no teammates in the game, but always keep company with a child. Is that him? "
Yezei: "yes..."
Both Chen Qingye and blast showed a sudden look.
Although ace acts alone in the replica, most of the players he has met with outside the replica know that he has always protected a little boy. No one knows why such a strong player will be kind. He also adds an oil bottle to himself in such a cruel game - after all, the little boy doesn't seem to be entitled by the game, People don't know his name, and there are no players who can match this feature in the list in front of the championship. Then, he can only live so long because of the protection of the big man.
This matter has always made many people envy, envy and hate.
It's a great experience to be led to win by the first God on the list.
Chen Qingye, Wei yuechu, blast also knew the existence of this child, but after Yejia left the game, the child seemed to disappear and never appeared again.
Therefore, almost all players thought that after ACE clearance, the child had no shelter, so he died in this cruel game.
Some people sigh, some sigh, some gloat.
After the game crashed, although Chen Qingye met ace in real life, they wisely didn't mention the existence of the child.
——After all, they must have deep feelings after spending so long together. It must be sad for ace to know that their friends died in the game after they left.
But what didn't expect is... They can actually see this legendary character today.
Blast stared in surprise: "so you survived..."
Chen Qingye kicked him expressionless.
Blast gave a cry, and then closed his mouth wrongly.
However, he can control the blast, but he can't control the same frank Wei yuechu.
Wei yuechu asked, "since he didn't die, why didn't he show up around ace later?"
Yezei: "
This question is really a little difficult to answer.
He can't say that this is not a player, but Ji Xuan, who is the ghost king.
Ji Xuan raised his eyes and said in a childlike voice, "because I made my brother angry."
Wei yuechu's heart changed: "in this way, I believe your brother has forgiven you, right?"
Yezei: "
This question is also difficult to answer.
Ji Xuan said, "not yet..."
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "but I'll try."
Wei yuechu: "
God! So cute!
Yejia cut off the topic of gradual danger and said, "well, now tell me what you found."
First of all, he simply repeated his dialogue with the dreamer at the top - of course, the version without Ji Xuan's existence.
After hearing Yejia's narration, everyone fell into silence.
The amount of information... Is really a little big.
Chen Qingye: "so, have you ever fought with the dreamer and cut off his head?"
Yejia: "now it seems that it should be like this."
Wei yuechu showed an expression of Enlightenment: "so, that's why he suddenly disappeared... He was badly hurt and went to recuperate."
Blast couldn't help but ask, "well... Don't you really remember at all?"
Yezei spread his hand: "yes..."
Chen Qingye thoughtfully held his chin and said, "since you say you two have made a deal, your memory loss may be related to this."
Wei yuechu sighed: "unfortunately, if you remember the specific content, we will know what we are dealing with. If we know his weakness, we may be able to kill the dreamer without hurting the lives of thousands of hostages. And now... "
She didn't finish her words, but the others knew her voice over very well.
Now, thousands of lives are tied to the dreamer. Once he dies, more innocent people will die——
The dreamer was right about at least one thing.
He can have no bottom line and humanity.
But they can't just sit back.
Blast angrily kicked a small stone on the ground: "so we don't have anything to do now?"
Yezei narrowed his eyes slightly.
He gently rubbed the shallow scar on his wrist with his finger.
After leaving the attic, the convexity and redness of the scar disappeared, changed back to the color close to the skin, and the pale wrist was smooth.
Yezei said slowly, "not necessarily..."
At that moment, everyone looked at yegah.
"Do you... Remember anything?" Blast asked blankly.
Yezei shook his head.
He put down his wrist and continued, "I once signed a contract with the dreamer, and all the other players who traded with him died, but I survived and hurt the dreamer."
Yejia smiled briefly: "this shows that there must be a loophole in his contract."
Chen Qingye's eyes lit up: "yes..."
Yezei narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "I can find the first time, and I can find the second time."
His voice did not fluctuate much. Although his face could not be seen clearly, it was uncontrollable and convinced from the bottom of his heart.
Ji Xuan raised his head and looked at the young man's face hidden under the shadow, with a shimmer in the bottom of his eyes.
——It's beautiful.
The other three also perked up.
Wei yuechu asked, "what are we going to do next? What are you going to do? "
"Still follow the original plan." Yejia said, "first go and inform the authority to see if we can monitor this place first, and then according to the previous methods, look for the victims who signed a deal with the dreamer in those death cases, and see if we can find any breakthrough from them."
"OK..." the three nodded one after another.
Just then, the door of the building behind them was pushed open, and a vain man came out slowly.
He looked dispirited. His face was engraved with deep fatigue. At present, it was thick cyan black. It seemed that he had not slept for a long time.
However, there was a happy expression between his eyebrows and eyes.
Yejia's heart moved.
He remembered this man.
When the elevator stopped for the first time, it was this man sitting outside the gate.
Ye Jia's heart turned with his thoughts. He stepped forward quickly, raised his voice and shouted, "sir!"
The man was in a trance. It seemed that he realized that the other party was calling himself: "what's the matter?"
Yejia went straight to the subject: "have you made a deal with the devil?"
The man looked at him suspiciously, his eyes moved a little, and said evasively, "you, what are you talking about, I don't know."
Yejia said, "I came to make a deal with them, but when I saw the bet, I regretted and bet my soul... It's not worth it, do you think?"
The man's face showed an angry look: "you, what do you know?"
He clenched his fist and roared, "my daughter is lying in the hospital bed. Her life and death are uncertain! If it were you, what would you do? "
"No matter what the price, I can't let her die!" The man stared at Yejia fiercely, choking in his angry voice: "as for you who stand and talk without back pain, go to hell! What I am willing to sell is my business, and I don't need you to care! "
Yezei was stunned.
The man's face was blue and he was obviously determined. He turned and drilled into the car parked aside. Then, the engine sounded and the car disappeared.
Ye Jiading looked at the shrinking vehicles in the distance with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Things went on step by step as Yejia said.
With the participation of the authority's personnel, the efficiency of screening has become much faster - soon, the number of cases on hand has changed from 15 to 70, and then to 200.
When Yejia returned to the hotel, he began to read the documents and look for any useful clues.
Time passed quickly, and night gradually came.
In the boundless ocean of information, it becomes particularly difficult to find a breakthrough.
Yezei felt a heavy weight beside the bed. He raised his head and saw Ji Xuan sitting at the end of the bed. A pair of shining scarlet pupils were looking at him without blinking: "brother, do you need help?"
He smiled and whispered, "just a good night kiss."
