Chapter 76
Under the dead night sky, the dry dark blood on the ground reflects the distant night.
Between the empty and desolate ruins, several people stared.
The atmosphere was particularly strange and embarrassing.
“……”
In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, Yejia regretted it.
too bad.
In fact, I don't know how to explain!!
Just then, Ji Xuan suddenly opened his mouth and broke the silence:
"The box can be opened."
With that, he naturally took back his hand around Yejia's waist, took a step back, a pair of scarlet eyes slightly lowered, and his eyes fell on the gray box held by Yejia.
This sentence suddenly drew everyone's attention back.
They all looked right and fixed their eyes on the box in Yejia's hand.
Yezei glanced at Ji Xuan in surprise.
He really didn't expect that the other party's bad temper would help him out at this juncture.
Unexpectedly, Ji Xuan was acutely aware of his sight, raised his eyes and looked at Yezei, provoked a faint smile on his lips, spread his dark eyes and blood color, and said slowly:
"You owe me."
Yezei: "
It's still bad.
At the moment, the other three people gathered around and their eyes fell on the box in Yejia's hand - Yejia had made it very clear that the importance of the things in the box was very clear, so they couldn't help getting nervous.
Wei yuechu raised his eyes and set his cold eyes from Ji Xuan standing aside for a few seconds.
Although she did not believe the fierce ghost in front of her, she had to say that he did help them just now, and now there are more important things that need their attention.
Wei yuechu turned to Yezei, took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Open it."
"Yes."
Yezei whispered, then stretched out his hand, gently pressed the cover and pushed it upward.
It was unlocked and opened very easily.
Everyone leaned over and looked into the box.
——There is another box in the box.
Yezei: "
The crowd also fell into silence: "......"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Blast's angry eyebrows flew into the sky. He raised his voice and shouted, "is this ghost sick?"
Chen Qingye pushed his glasses and said slowly:
"This time we rarely agree."
Yejia reached out and took out the small box and put it in the palm of his hand.
It is a cube with smooth and square surface, without any key holes or gaps, but when shaking, you can hear something inside.
Wei yuechu asked, "what about the fierce ghost? Since it can spit out the position of the box, it can also ask from its mouth how to open it. "
Yezei took a deep breath and said, "this... I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
——After such a long time, I'm afraid the puppet master has made it into a ghost puppet.
Yezei turned to Ji Xuan with a trace of expectation.
The man shrugged to show that he was right.
Yezei: "
Wei yuechu frowned: "what's the matter?"
Yezei raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with a tired face: "the corpse is destroyed."
Wei yuechu: "..." what a terrible man.
"But..." Yejia looked at the small gray box and narrowed his eyes slightly. The cold light at his fingertips was solid and reflected the cold moonlight.
"You can always try violent unpacking," he said
However, before Yezei started, Chen Qingye suddenly said, "ah!"
He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, leaned close to the small box in Yejia's palm, and frowned: "what's this?"
Chen Qingye pointed to one of the corners on the surface of the box and said:
"It looks familiar."
Yezei was stunned.
He turned the small box over, put the side facing Chen Qingye up and looked in the direction of the other party's fingers.
There is a very shallow Yin engraved pattern, which can hardly be found if it is not for the right angle of the moonlight.
Wei yuechu also came together.
She carefully looked at it from an angle and frowned: "it seems a little familiar."
She looked at Yejia and said, "have you seen it?"
Ye Jia's eyes were slightly heavy.
His fingertips gently brushed the uneven surface of the box. The cold moonlight reflected from the bottom of his amber eyes, and his voice said softly:
"Of course."
Yejia's voice was calm: "this is the symbol of the supernatural authority."
Everyone was stunned and looked up at Yejia.
What?!
Five minutes later, Yezei clapped the embers of the paper in his heart, turned and walked over.
"How's it going?" Wei yuechu hurriedly asked.
Ye Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, shook his head and said, "Wu Su has never seen a box like this."
Chen Qingye rationally analyzed: "it's normal. After all, he hasn't been in the supernatural Administration for a long time, and he knows limited information..."
Time?
Yezei was stunned.
He took out his mobile phone, pointed one side of the box at the moonlight, took a picture from a good angle, then only intercepted the marked corner and sent it to a person from wechat.
Not long after, his cell phone rang.
As soon as it was connected, a deafening voice came from the other side of the microphone. There was no one around. It sounded particularly clear: "what message do you send to people in the fucking night?! When others don't sleep? "
Yejia quietly took the mobile phone away from his ears.
He said, "minister, do you recognize this sign?"
Liu Zhaocheng sounds incredible:
"Yejia, have you worked for nothing in the authority for so many years? Don't recognize the logo of your own department? "
"I know you, but..." Yezei coughed and said, "it's not. It's still a little different from our official logo, so I'll ask you... To see if you have any impression."
He noticed just now that although this is indeed the symbol of the supernatural authority, there is a subtle difference in the details.
There's no sound on the phone.
Yejia waited patiently.
A minute later, Liu Zhaocheng's voice sounded again: "Oh... This, this is the old logo of the authority."
There's a play.
Yezei asked, "what do you say?"
"About thirty years ago, the authority was reorganized once." Liu Zhaocheng said, "this thing was used by them in the past, and then it was discarded."
More than thirty years ago?
Yezei frowned slightly: "reorganization? Why restructure? "
Liu Zhaocheng: "I don't know. At that time, I just joined the authority. I was just a low-level employee like you. How could I know what the people above them were doing? Anyway, the high-level seemed to be a big change, and the overall mechanism had changed a lot, and then after more than ten years of development, It has gradually become what it is now. "
He asked, "why do you ask this?"
Yejia replied, "nothing... I'm just curious to see an old thing that may be the authority."
"Old stuff? What old thing? " Liu Zhaocheng said, "show me the whole picture."
Yezei made trouble for a long time. With the help of Chen Qingye, he found out how to send the photos without hanging up.
After pondering for a long time, he said, "well, I know."
Ye Jia's spirit perked up: "you say."
Liu Zhaocheng's voice came from the microphone: "this is a technique developed a long time ago. It is used by the authority to preserve top secret high-risk props. If it is forcibly destroyed, it will be destroyed with the contents."
Yejia was shocked.
Fortunately, he just didn't cut the box forcibly according to the original plan, otherwise their previous efforts would have been in vain.
Liu Zhaocheng continued, "however, this thing is rare now because it is not very practical. So after the reorganization of the authority, it has never been produced again. Where did you get it? "
Ye Jia's eyes were slightly heavy. Instead of answering the other party's question, he continued to ask:
"Do you know how to open it?"
"I don't know that." Liu Zhaocheng said: "however, it seems that there are still many files and objects before reorganization in the headquarters of the supernatural authority in the capital. You can contact the people there..."
Coincidentally, they are in the capital now.
Yejia: "OK, thank you."
But before he hung up, Liu Zhaocheng's suspicious voice came from the microphone:
"You won't get involved in any bad things again?"
Yejia repeatedly denied: "no, no! How could it be! "
Liu Zhaocheng snorted coldly, "come back quickly. There are still a lot of affairs here in M city. Do you want your year-end bonus if you can't handle it?"
Hang up.
On one side, blast held his arm, frowned tightly and looked at Ye Jia. His tone was particularly poor:
"Hey, I said you... You let him talk to you like that?"
It's so quiet around that even if they don't want to eavesdrop, they can't help hearing each other's voices - although they have long known that ACE's hidden identity is a small employee of the supernatural administration, people can't help feeling uncomfortable when they hear his boss talking to him so impolitely.
Obviously, several others thought the same as him.
"Yes, yes!" Wei yuechu jumped to Yejia and said angrily.
She was the one who had been in the Administration Bureau for the longest time. Before she knew that Yezei was ace, she had witnessed the scene that minister Liu made trouble for Yezei several times. At that time, she didn't feel anything, but now she knows that the other party was targeting her own male God, and the anger came up at once.
Wei yuechu raised an extraordinarily harmless smile on her face, looking like a naive and lovely girl:
"If it's inconvenient for you to do it, in fact, I don't mind giving him a little lesson..."
Chen Qingye thought: "is he afraid of insects?"
"Wait, wait!" Yezei had some headache and quickly interrupted to try to give Liu Zhaocheng a "little lesson" plan: "are you free?"
Wei yuechu touched the back of her head and said shyly:
"It doesn't mean now, that is, after returning to m city -"
"In fact, Minister Liu is just a bad man." Yezei sighed.
His eyes drooped slightly:
"You came back to the real world with those rampant ghosts after the game crashed, but... When I came back, it was still an ordinary earthly world."
Dusty memories for a long time.
At that time, there was only one word to describe him——
I don't know what to do.
Too bright lights, too dense crowds, too calm environment.
Yejia, who has lived in the cruel environment of the game for many years, is so out of place here.
At that time, even a car passing by would bring his instinctive vigilance and hostility. He almost exhausted all his self-control before he pulled a knife to cut it over. Every night, he would be awakened by the sudden flashing light or the noise from the distance of the city, sweating and clutching his weapons, Subconsciously ready to fight - he seems to have really left the game, but it seems that he has never left.
You know, although Yejia has always been the top of the table, there are still tens of thousands of points to leave the game directly.
After killing Ji Xuan, the game decided that Yezei killed a high-level fierce ghost, and his points immediately soared, which made him get the ticket to return to the real world.
Therefore, before leaving the game, the last thing Yejia experienced was Ji Xuan's betrayal.
The impact of this event lasted until Yejia returned to the real world.
The game turned into a nightmare, pestering him all the time and whispering in his ear.
Plus, the real world is no longer what it used to be.
The identity of "Ye Jia" has long been missing and has long been identified as dead. The place where he once lived has long been auctioned. Things are right and people are wrong in his hometown. He can no longer see any traces of his past. He has no relatives and identity certificates. He lives alone in the world like a duckweed.
Compared with the real world, even games look more like home.
Until——
The appearance of a bad man.
Yezei raised his eyes to look at the three people in front of him and shrugged: "he asked someone to help me reissue my ID card. He also gave me this job. Even the guarantor of my rented apartment is him, and he paid the rent for the first three months."
The reason is as simple as ridiculous.
According to Liu Zhaocheng, it was because the Logistics Department of the supernatural authority was really short of people, and he made a mistake on a whim. He recruited an employee who could only eat white rice and fish every day.
However, before joining the supernatural authority, Yejia also made a little investigation in this regard.
He was very vigilant. After all, there would be such goodwill in the world without conditions - so Yejia looked through Liu Zhaocheng's file in the police station.
Five years ago, Liu Zhaocheng's only son died in a riot by a class B fierce ghost. At that time, he was the same age as Yezei in the real world.
Then Yejia chose to accept his goodwill and become a logistics employee in the Bureau of investigation.
Although Liu Zhaocheng had a loud voice, bad temper and deducted his salary every day, Yezei was always very tolerant of him.
There aren't many such bad people these days.
"Eh... Is it like this?" Wei yuechu scratched his head: "I didn't expect that Mediterranean uncle was very good."
Chen Qingye: "yes, although I don't have much hair, I have a good heart."
Blast thought: "I seem to know that there is a brand of shampoo with hair growth function..."
Yezei: "
Hey, your focus has shifted!!!!
He took a deep breath, raised his hand, pressed his temple and said, "stop, stop, is it time to talk about the minister's hair?"
With Yejia's efforts, this deviated topic was successfully pulled back to the right track.
At the beginning of the month, Wei lowered his eyes, glanced at the dense square box in Yejia's hand and asked, "what are you going to do now?"
Chen Qingye: "contact Wu Su. Didn't he work in the capital for some time? Maybe there will be relevant clues... "
Yezei lowered his head, looked at the small box in his hand, and suddenly said:
"But we're in the capital now, aren't we?"
Chen Qingye was stunned: "what do you mean?"
Yezei raised his eyes and smiled: "it's better to hit the sun than choose a day. Let's go to the headquarters today."
"But..." Chen Qingye frowned: "it's night now..."
Blast impatiently interrupted him: "Oh, why do you follow so many rules like a little old man? Why not at night? "
"And... Don't you understand?"
With a smile, his eyes lit a flame with the same color as his hair, and he said excitedly:
"We're going to break in this time!"
Supernatural Authority headquarters.
Compared with the branch with the sign of waste recycling in M City, the headquarters looks much more imposing, at least a whole building.
Since the ghost night trip, the existence of the supernatural authority has been made public, so the disguised title has been removed and replaced with its serious brand, which is engraved with a sign similar to the box.
Although it is late at night, there are still several floors of lights in the authority building. After all, night is the time for most fierce ghosts and monsters. Therefore, the supernatural authority must keep employees on night shift.
Because the headquarters of the authority is too large, they agreed to act separately and look for the material room where Liu Zhaocheng said they kept the materials and articles before the reorganization of the authority.
But——
"..." Yejia took a deep breath: "do you not understand the four words of separate action?"
Ji Xuan hung behind Yezei not far or near. He looked calm and said, "I just chose the same road as you. Don't think about it."
Yezei: "
I'll go to your uncle's house. Don't think about it.
Ji Xuan quickened his pace and stood side by side with Ye Jia. He turned his head slightly, and a pair of scarlet eyes twinkled in the dark corridor:
"You didn't tell the other three people why you chose to come at night, did you?"
Yejia's steps were slightly paused.
He resumed his original pace and asked quietly, "Oh? You know me. "
Ji Xuan's lips opened with a smile. He leaned close again with a deep voice:
"Of course, I know my brother best in the world."
Yejia glanced at him coolly: "that's why you tried to turn me into a fierce ghost in the game?"
Ji Xuan: "
His step stopped subconsciously and was immediately left behind by Yejia.
Ji Xuan hurried to speed up a few steps. He chased after Yezei and hurriedly apologized:
"Brother, I was wrong..."
Yejia ignored him.
At this time, he felt his sleeve drop slightly.
Yejia looked around and saw the little boy with black hair and red eyes stretched out his pale fingers, carefully grabbed his sleeve and played a spoiled role pitifully:
"Brother, I really know I'm wrong."
He has a natural skill in this regard.
Yezei frowned and said, "I don't want this."
However, Ji Xuan keenly found that the other party's tone softened imperceptibly.
——What nonsense? You just eat this.
The little boy stepped forward with an inch, pulled the young man's palm hanging on his side with his cold and slender fingers, and entangled with each other's fingers.
He raised his eyes, looked at Yejia with his wet red pupils, and softly shouted:
"Brother..."
Yejia's eyebrows jumped: "you change back for me!"
Ji Xuan: "I don't want it."
"Change back!"
"No."
Yezei: "
This conversation is too familiar.
He took a deep breath and gave up pestering each other in this regard.
Yejia zhengse changed the subject and said, "but you're right about one thing."
He lowered his eyes, and a dark cold light flashed in the depths of his light pupil: "I really didn't tell the three of them the real reason why I chose to come here at night."
According to Liu Zhaocheng, the equipment was basically shut down before the reorganization, which is rare now.
Yezei didn't know where the white bone ghost came from.
Maybe it's theft or even open robbery.
After all, rare doesn't mean No. as a high-level fierce ghost at the Lord level, it has many means. There may be ghosts in the Management Bureau, and it's not uncommon to get them.
But... Yejia was worried about another possibility that made him reluctant to think about it.
And the reorganization that took place decades ago... Will it have anything to do with my mother?
The other three have never been exposed to the existence of the game in the past, but yeka is different.
He still clearly remembers that on that thunderstorm night, his father repeatedly stabbed his mother's cold body with a knife in his hand and chopped her flesh and blood into rotten mud. Then he raised his head, looked at Yejia standing at the door with crazy eyes and walked towards him - just like the man he saw in the residential building.
And that was 15 years before he was pulled into the game. It happened that he could match the number at the time of reorganization with the authority.
Yezei pursed his lips and seemed to fall into his own thoughts.
Suddenly, he felt that the little hand holding his palm did not know when it grew larger and was replaced by a man's slender cold fingers.
Yezei raised his head in amazement and looked at each other.
Ji Xuanchong smiled at him: "I know where you are looking?"
Yezei was stunned: "what?"
Ji Xuan's smile deepened: "what? Don't you allow me to hide some ghosts in your organization? "
Yezei: "
Your attitude is too reasonable, isn't it?
The man's hand tightened slightly. The next second, Yejia only felt a flower in front of his eyes.
He stood in a huge storage room, where there were thick materials that were tired to the ceiling, filled with a rotten smell.
Yejia saw that in a corner of the storage room, there was a small table with several grooves of different sizes on the table.
The size of one of the grooves... Is exactly the same as the size of the box in Yejia's hand.
Yezei looked down at the box in his hand, and his eyes were inexplicable.
He tentatively raised his hand and put the box into the groove.
join tightly.
Just listen to the slight "card scratch", the twisted lines appear on the small metal box, and then - slowly open it.
A strong smell of blood escaped.
Yejia held his breath slightly and took a step forward.
The box was filled with thick blood.
In the blood, there are two complete eyeballs floating. The pupils are dark and the whites of the eyes are clean. The back is also connected with the complete optic nerve. They float and sink in a small box full of blood. They look particularly terrible.
Ye Jiawei was stunned.
eyeball?
Why eyeballs?
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Yejia's mind like lightning. He widened his eyes slightly and forgot to breathe for a moment - as if all clues were connected here.
The woman whose crazy husband dug out her heart and chopped her heart.
The pieces of skin that were completely peeled off.
And... The box containing things in the dreamer warehouse.
He remembered the huge scarlet sarcoma that was suspended in Ji Xuan's memory.
Ji Xuan once said, "the king is the representative of his mother".
... because she can't come to the world for the time being.
At this moment, Yejia finally knew the task given to his children by his mother.
——She wants to piece together a body for herself.
