After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

The man leaned down. His scarlet eyes reflected the young man's astonished face and his lips contained an affectionate smile. It was as if he was acting coquettish to the other party.

Ye Jia was slightly surprised.

"As long as one's instinctive fears are amplified, no matter how firm their minds are, they would be unable to control the instinctive fears they have even if they know that the thing before them is just an illusion."

Indeed, if it only used fear to mess with the human heart, it wouldn't have been able to cause those experienced players to have such a strong reaction.

Ye Jia's eyes narrowed slightly. He slowly said, "But Ji Xuan doesn't feel any fear."

If it was said that he was overwhelmed by his instinctive desire, it would indeed be consistent with Ji Xuan's current abnormal state.

But when facing so many of his fakes, Ji Xuan's emotions were more of anger and contempt compared to fear.

Was it because he was a ghost?

He threw the Omniscient Eye back into his pocket and stood up.

The hall was deadly silent. Red light from the sky in the distance penetrated into the hall through the gaps between the bones making up the walls, casting a red glow in the room.

Ye Jia looked around. His eyes darkened.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his lips.

"Hiss……." It stung a little.

Ye Jia's eyes grew colder and colder.

He roughly wiped his lips with the back of his hand and proceeded to step towards the door of the castle.

Ye Jia tentatively reached out and pushed open the door before him. Unexpectedly, the door wasn't seals shut and he was able to open it without much effort, revealing the blood-coloured sky and city made of bones.

A large world appeared before him.

Tremors caused by the fight between the two ghosts spread across the world and it seemed to be causing some changes to the world along with it. Thick yin energy spread throughout, making it impossible for one to perceive the changes that were occurring.

The entire city of bones was an island floating over a sea of blood.

The castle was located at the centre of this island of bones, but there was a larges sea of blood underneath the castle?

---- The dead bodies of those fakes all came up from below there.

If he was a paranoid ghost, where would he hide something?

The answer was quite obvious.

He would put it together with his obsession.

A large scythe appeared in Ye Jia's hand and a cold light flashed. The white bones under his feet split open. Small pieces of the bones fell into the pool of blood below without making any sounds.

He stared at the bottomless abyss below him and then took in a deep breath and leapt in.

Splash…..

Salty liquid rushed towards him. It seemed to carry huge destructive power, charging relentlessly at this intruder.

Ye Jia's mouth was filled with the taste of rust. He opened his eyes but still couldn't see very well.

He used all his strength to resist the strong currents around him and continued to dive deeper down.

The young man's slender limbs were as flexible as a fish. He was able to avoid the strong currents and swim downwards.

Dark shadows flickered faintly in the distance.

Ye Jia struggled to swim in that direction.

It took Ye Jia about half a minute to recover. Ye Jia raised his head and looked above him.

Those blood coloured waters, and corpses had disappeared at some unknown point in time. Replacing it was a sky of the same scarlet colour.

His nose was filled with the suffocating smell of blood. For a moment, Ye Jia couldn't tell whether this smell was left from the bloody waters earlier or if it was from the air.

He wiped dry his face and slowly got up.

Ye Jia looked around at the scene around him and was taken aback.

He remembered this place.

The scene before him was one that was deeply burned into his memory. It was one that he would never forget no matter how much time passed.

The pitch-black ground was soft and damp. If you squeezed it hard enough, you could even squeeze out some blood.

There were countless bones buried deep under the ground and even the air was filled with the cold scent of death.

This was an old battlefield.

It was an instance of the greatest difficulty that no one has ever challenged.

---- It was also the place where he personally killed Ji Xuan.

Ye Jia stood in the middle of the wasteland with his eyes slightly narrowed. The wind carrying a strong scent of blood rustled past his hair.

He stepped forward and walked in the direction in his memories.

In the barren wasteland, the young man walked alone.

In the distance, there was a large black cliff with steep peaks. Below that was a giant cave. That was the place where he bid farewell to his former good friend.

The memories he thought had been buried broke free and flashed through his mind frame after frame.

Ye Jia didn't want to remember but those memories were so vivid, it was as if it only happened yesterday.

Extremely clear and vivid, with a strong air of hatred.

What was more painful than being betrayed by the person closest to you was finding out that the other party had been lying to you from the very beginning and had always planned to eat you up.

Suddenly, Ye Jia seemed to have thought of something. He was taken aback.

---- He suddenly realised that this wasn't a scene from his memories.

He and Ji Xuan had entered the cave together. There was no situation where the other party entered it alone and at this moment, he didn't see another him around.

At this moment, the young boy stopped in his steps and looked into the distance. His young voice was cold and calm, "Mother……."

Ye Jia's heart trembled. He turned to look in that same direction.

Above a familiar pool of blood was a large lump of flesh suspended in the air. It was so large, it almost covered the entire cave. Thick blue veins squirmed about on its greasy surface looking terribly disgusting.

This is Mother?

Ye Jia's pupils constricted slightly.

That lump of flesh squirmed, making strange sticky sounds. That terrible sound reverberated throughout the cave. Ye Jia had to use all his self-control to endure this sound.

Ji Xuan however seemed to understand it.

He nodded, "Yes, Mother."

Ye Jia could guess that it was a case of the other party accepting the task issued to him by Mother.

His eyes darkened slightly, and coldness resurfaced.

Ye Jia didn't want to continue watching this. He reached out and tried it again.

But before he could touch the other party, the young boy before him raised his head slightly and, as if he thought of something very pleasant, he curled up the corners of his lips to reveal an almost innocent and pure smile.

That beautiful but gloomy face seemed to brighten up and those scarlet eyes shone bright with expectation, "Then we will be able to be together forever, right?"
