Chapter 42 - \\\"I came from the head.\\\"
There was no light in the room, and the skull of the blood gu fish reflected pale shimmer in the dark.
Ye Jia knelt down and scratched his chin gently.
Xiao Hei Shou poked his head out of his shoulder, let out a long sigh of relief, and said in shock, “My God…”
In the past few hours, it felt as if it had taken a roller coaster.
Ye Jia originally wanted to put it down before reaching the battlefield, but in order to prove his loyalty and unyielding, the little black hand would rather die than let Ye Jia tear it off.
Fortunately, the last two people didn’t really fight, otherwise before they started, Xiao Hei Shou was scared to death.
The blood gu fish raised his head and looked at the little black hand on Ye Jia’s shoulder, seeming to be a little about to move.
The little black hand shivered, and slowly hid under Ye Jia’s hat.
“Thank God…” Its voice came from under the hat dullly: “But…why did you suddenly want to drive?”
Although he was very satisfied with the result, Xiao Hei Shou couldn’t help being a little curious.
After all, judging from the appearance of the other party just now, it seems that he has made up his mind, and ten horses can’t pull back.
The little black hand couldn’t figure out how to give up at the last minute.
Ye Jia felt the blood gu fish without a trace, but he didn’t answer.
But Xiao Hei Shou couldn’t think about it too. Seeing that Ye Jia didn’t answer, it didn’t ask, but sneaked off the opponent’s shoulder, and hid in the room where it was farthest from the blood gu fish—
In any case, small lives matter.
That fish is terrible!
The little black hand wants to cry without tears-it doesn’t want to be fish feed oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
Ye Jia lowered his eyes, his thoughts were a little erratic.
-The previous strong killing intent has cooled down and has been replaced by rational thinking.
A fact emerged very clearly.
Ji Xuan can’t die.
Ye Jia still can’t judge what Ji Xuan’s position is, but if his subordinates suppressed the rebellion in Xicheng District last night, I’m afraid it would be difficult for humans to stabilize their position under the impact of the ghost and monster army, and the “prohibition” The command to “harm humanity” alone is worthy of his reconsideration of his decision.
More importantly, Ji Xuan’s current battlefield is not far from City M.
If Ji Xuan died, Ye Jia was not sure whether the “mother” would continue to implement the plan last night, and directly ordered the monsters to attack M City.
With the current state of humanity, it is no longer possible to deal with the next wave of wars with monsters.
No matter what grievances he and Ji Xuan have had, at least for now, the existence of each other is necessary.
Ye Jia took a deep breath slowly, the dark tide surging deep in the light-colored eyes.
Some of his accounts with Ji Xuan are calculated by chance.
It’s just not now.
The blood gu fish under his hand seemed to be very happy to be petted, it turned over and rolled, and the swing of its tail became more intense.
Immediately afterwards, without warning—
“Kang Dang “click”.
The sound of something being knocked over came from not far away, and it clicked and seemed deafening in the dark.
The movements of one person and one fish are all stiff.
Ye Jia suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart.
He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Then, as if not believing his own eyes, Ye Jia closed his eyes vigorously, then stretched out his hand and pressed the light in the living room with a “click”.
The overhead light came on, illuminating the mess in the room.
As if a tornado passed by, everything that could be broken was broken. The table lacked a leg and was pitifully crooked on the ground. There was a clear tooth mark on the corner of the table, as if it had been chewed as a molar stick. The living room that was originally neat and clean now looks like it has been looted, and it is almost impossible to see what it used to be.
Ye Jia slowly lowered his head and looked at the blood gu fish under his feet.
One person, one fish, big eyes and small eyes.
The blood gu fish raised his head, looked at Ye Jia with his black eye sockets, and waved his tail carefully and slightly.
“Kang Dang—”
Its tail hit something again, and the porcelain vase fell down, cracking to pieces on the ground.
Ye Jia: “…”
At a young age, he tasted the taste of myocardial infarction.
-“Get smaller!” “You make me smaller!”
Cheng Cezhi, who was climbing the stairs, paused. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. The sound of ping-pong-pong faintly came from the closed anti-theft door, which was very clear in the narrow corridor.
Cheng Cezhi: “???”
He and Zhao Guangcheng behind him looked at each other suspiciously, then cautiously approached the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
There was another ding-ding-ding sound from inside.
Soon after, the door was opened.
Ye Jia’s face appeared in the crack of the door. When he saw the person coming, he reluctantly hooked up the corner of his mouth and asked:
“…what’s up?”
For some reason, Cheng Cezhi heard a bit of gritted teeth in his voice.
Cheng Cezhi stammered:
“Just, that is, we haven’t contacted you all morning, so come and see if you have anything?”
He sniffed, and his voice was dumb: “Although the casualties in our department are not as serious as those in the combat department, several colleagues have been admitted to the hospital and are still in the intensive care unit.”
Cheng Cezhi looked at Ye Jia with tears in his eyes: “It’s really great that you are fine!”
Seeing Cheng Cezhi’s babbling and never being able to say the point, Zhao Guangcheng stepped forward, interrupted his words, and said straight to the subject: “…There is one more thing, that is, the task is laid out on top. The three of us are in charge. Follow-up cleanup of three nearby blocks.”
Ye Jia nodded: “Okay.”
After speaking, before the two people outside the door could reply, he hurriedly added: “I’ll change my clothes.”
Immediately afterwards, he slammed the door shut in front of the two people.
Cheng Cezhi and Zhao Guangcheng: “…”
This is too ruthless!
Close the door, Ye Jia turned around.
He watched as he quietly swam to his side, still keeping the blood gu fish of its original size, and pinched his eyebrows with some headaches.
Before putting the blood gu fish into his room, Ye Jia really didn’t expect that it would demolish the house.
In fact, it can be understood.
After all, his room was indeed too small compared to Ji Xuan’s site.
but…
It’s too miserable here now.
Ye Jia raised his head, looked around the room where he was now ill-formed, and couldn’t bear to look straight away.
-Families that are not wealthy are even worse.
Ye Jia squatted down, discussing with it with some headaches: “Or, you still go to your master?”
It might be needed in Xicheng District.
The blood gu fish wagged its tail and placed its head on Ye Jia’s knee, seemingly not ready to leave.
But Ye Jia can’t go to Ji Xuan now, and then stuff him the blood gu fish on the battlefield: the fish for you.
Ye Jia is really worried about this.
The two people outside the door were still waiting for him, and it didn’t take long to change their clothes.
But Ye Jia no longer dared to leave the blood gu fish alone in his room. He made his furniture look like this in a few hours, and he was afraid that he would have to demolish the building all day—after all, he rented it. Yes, he still wants to get his deposit back.
However, taking it away does not seem appropriate.
Last night, the ghost gate opened wide, and the Yin Qi gathered. I don’t know how many people let Lingshi open.
Moreover, with the power of the blood gu fish, even if the opponent doesn’t have Spirit Vision, as long as it wants to, it can be seen by ordinary people.
Ye Jia’s inspiration appeared.
He spoke to the blood gu fish in a negotiating tone: “If you can get smaller, I will take you out.”
The blood gu fish raised his head and seemed very interested.
“Are you hungry?” Ye Jia smiled and coaxed: “I can take you to eat delicious food.”
The blood gu fish began to wave its tail frantically.
It hesitated for a while, and then seemed to finally make up its mind—what is the use of the dignity of the blood gu fish and the evil face beside the king! It’s nothing compared to the temptation to go out for a walk and be fed!
Ye Jia watched the blood gu fish shrink slightly in front of his eyes, and finally turned into a size that can fit in his pocket, and he hooked his lips with satisfaction:
“good.”
He put the blood gu fish into his pocket, then pulled a piece of clothing out of his sloping closet, quickly changed the clothes from last night, and opened the door.
When Cheng Cezhi and Zhao Guangcheng saw him coming out, they turned to look at him.
Ye Jia smiled at them: “Let’s go.”
·
The follow-up cleaning work is very complicated.
Moreover, although most of the ghost monsters have retreated, some of them are left behind, so they must be cautious, in case they suddenly encounter an enemy who sprang out of the corner after processing.
Cheng Cezhi and Zhao Guangcheng walked in front, while Ye Jia deliberately landed in a slightly more mouthful position.
They dealt with the corpses of ghosts and monsters, and placed the collected Yin Qi in a special container.
Ye Jia’s method is much more environmentally friendly.
He fed most of the Yin Qi to the blood gu fish in his pocket, leaving only a small part symbolically placed in the container, so that his fishing was not so obvious.
The blood gu fish rolled happily in his pocket, accepting the feeding.
The two in front were walking and chatting.
While Ye Jia was feeding the fish while listening to each other.
They speculated about the reason for the opening of the ghost door last night and the measures that the administration might take afterwards, including the public’s possible response to such explosive news.
Finally, the topic of the two people fell on…
“Did you see it last night? That mysterious person?” Cheng Cezhi asked excitedly.
“Of course!” Zhao Guangcheng was also suddenly excited: “At that time, my team and I were on the corner of the street. We were cleaning out the few low-level monsters, and then suddenly emerged from the side alley. A huge ghost, completely dark, with a pale face in the middle. It looked like a thief. The value of our detector immediately exploded. The chirping person had a headache. At that time, I really thought we were all going to die there. …”
He speaks vividly and vividly, which is immersive.
Cheng Cezhi swallowed nervously and asked, “Yes, what then?”
Zhao Guangcheng’s face showed a look of longing:
“Then… the mysterious person appeared. None of us saw where he emerged from, as if he appeared out of thin air, suddenly standing in front of our eyes.
At that time, my mind froze because of fear. When I look back, I can only remember the white light that followed. There was obviously no moon, but the blade seemed to glow, just so lightly, all of a sudden. , The ghost fell and disappeared.
I swear, I’ve never seen a person who can stand against a high-level ghost so easily and win so easily. It’s really too strong…”
Cheng Cezhi listened fascinated: “…Wow.”
Zhao Guangcheng took a deep breath and turned around and looked around. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said:
“Do you remember how I was attacked in that school?”
“Remember.” Cheng Cezhi nodded vigorously.
Zhao Guangcheng said mysteriously: “I think the person who saved me was the mysterious boss last night. I heard that ghost called him ace, like a code name or something. I think, what might he be? , A member of a certain mysterious organization that maintains the world order, but a lone wolf who is disgusted with organizing disputes and comes out to maintain world peace on his own,”
Cheng Cezhi suddenly realized: “It’s possible!”
The two looked at each other and reached a consensus: “It’s so cool!”
Ye Jia: “…”
Damn, it’s too **** second.
At this moment, Cheng Cezhi suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Ye Jia: “Hey, Ye Ge, didn’t you also go to that school? Did you see anything?”
Ye Jia: “…”
I see a head.
He took a deep breath: “No.”
“Oh.” Cheng Cezhi sighed: “It’s a pity that the district I was assigned to last night just didn’t meet him.”
Zhao Guangcheng patted him comfortably on the shoulder: “Hey, other colleagues in the bureau have also talked about it today. This gangster specializes in picking up dangerous places. It’s a good thing that you haven’t encountered it, which means you don’t have too much. High-level ghost.”
Cheng Cezhi looked at Ye Jia: “Where is Brother Ye? Did you meet him last night?”
Ye Jia: “…No.”
Last night, not all the members of the Supernatural Authority were present.
Probably only 40% of the employees arrived at the scene in the end. This is normal. After all, the opening of the ghost gate is indeed the first time. Some employees may have been attacked by monsters directly in their homes, or at all. Without receiving the information, even if the above two situations did not occur, it was just a panic, and it was excusable. After all, non-combatants in the Occult Administration still accounted for the majority, and they could not be required to cope with such emergencies.
If it weren’t for him to pick up the communicator last night, Ye Jia would even want to say that he didn’t go.
Cheng Cezhi and Zhao Guangcheng sighed regretfully at the same time: “It’s okay, don’t care, I believe there will be opportunities in the future.”
Ye Jia: “…”
Thank you all.
While the three of them were chatting, suddenly, the detector in their hands made a dizzy alarm.
Cheng Cezhi took the probe and turned around in place, then looked in one of the directions: “There!”
They turned left and right and came to a residential area.
The guard post at the door was empty, the automatic railing was broken from the outside, the sawdust at the break was held in a daze, and there were still many sticky and dried blood stains, which looked shocking.
The beep of the detector pointed to one of the residential buildings.
The door of the residential building was open, and the corridor was dark, and almost nothing could be seen from the outside.
Zhao Guangcheng took out the gun and said to the two behind:
“Be careful, follow me behind.”
As he said, he walked towards the door of the building.
The lamp above his head was broken and flashing sizzlingly, a damp and cold breath came from the darkness, and there was also a vaguely putrid smell of blood mixed with it, which was quite frightening and terrifying.
The detector did not respond on the first floor, but as soon as it was aimed at the upward staircase, the value on it began to jump.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, the smelly blood became stronger, almost suffocating.
The door of one of them was hidden.
A vague, sticky sound came from the crack in the door in the concealment—”Dang”, “Dang”, and “Dang”—it was dull and regular, but I couldn’t tell what the sound was.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Zhao Guangcheng took a gun in one hand, and in the other hand, he carefully opened the door—
Hearing only a “creak”, the rusty rotation of the door shaft broke the silence in the dark corridor.
When they saw the scene inside the door, everyone was stunned.
There were large patches of shocking scarlet blood on the wall, and even the ceiling was covered with splashes of blood. Broken meat and visceral fragments hung on the overhead lamp, dripping slowly.
The room was completely destroyed.
In the center of the living room, a woman was lying in a pool of blood, her pale skin showing lifelessness, a pair of godless and muddy eyes fixedly looking towards the door, her desperate and horrified expression was frozen by death, her chest The lower part of the belly was almost chopped into mashed meat, and it was completely invisible.
And a man covered in blood knelt beside her, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and slashing at the woman’s fragmented body time and time again. The blade has cut a gap in the bone, but he is still mechanical The ground chopped down, the blade pierced through the pulpy flesh, chopped on the ground, making a regular “dangdang” sound.
I don’t know when it started, the detector in Cheng Cezhi’s hand no longer sounded.
The man seemed to notice the three people standing at the door, and slowly raised his head, revealing a mad and terrifying face splattered with blood. His lips were twisted, showing a similar smile. Look.
Holding a kitchen knife, he stood up awkwardly, and then rushed towards the headed Zhao Guangcheng when he was caught off guard.
At that moment, Ye Jia’s pupils shrank.
The man’s face was reflected in the depths of his eyes.
—The distorted and terrifying expression coincides with another face in the memory.
In the dark night, there was a pouring rain outside the window.
The door ajar.
The boy stretched out his hand and gingerly opened the door.
The lightning flashing through the window illuminates the room. The woman lay in a pool of blood in the center of the house. Her pale and gray face was stained with blood. She looked out the door with her dumb eyes, her stiff lips half open, as if Still want to say something.
The bun that was curled up high on the top of her head was already out, wet with blood, and dried up into a lock.
The favorite pearl necklace between the neck broke apart and was scattered in a pool of blood.
The man he called his father squatted on the side of the corpse, raising the kitchen knife again and again, and chopping it towards the woman’s mutilated body.
The boy stood stiffly at the door, his pupils shrunk, his breathing and time seemed to stagnate at this moment.
The next second, the man seemed to notice him standing at the door.
He stood up swayingly, carrying a kitchen knife in his hand, and step by step towards the boy standing at the door, the blood under his feet made a greasy sound, which was covered by the sound of heavy rain outside the window.
The white light of lightning lit up outside the window, illuminating the small room at that moment, and also illuminating the man’s face.
His pale face was stained with blood, his violent eyeballs were staring at the front, and the whole face showed a weird and crazy look. On this rainy night, he looked particularly terrible. His lips were upturned and formed. A twisted and terrifying smile.
-“Boom!”
The belated thunder sounded.
“Bang-bang-“
Two gunshots cut through the silence, pulling Ye Jia back from the long memory.
In front of him, the man’s body fell heavily to the ground, the kitchen knife in his hand rolled off, and blood spread from under him.
Zhao Guangcheng panted heavily, his face undecided in shock: “What’s the matter with this person?”
“You killed him?” Cheng Cezhi’s voice became sharp because of tension.
Zhao Guangcheng shook his head casually: “No, no, I avoided the deadly part…”
Ye Jia stepped forward and knelt down to check.
Indeed, the two shots on the man’s body, one on the shoulder and the other on the arm, were not fatal.
His eyes burst, staring at the ceiling, and a twisted smile on his lips.
Ye Jia stretched out his hand and pressed the man’s cold neck.
—The pulse is gone.
It turned out to be dead.
Ye Jia took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhao Guangcheng and Cheng Cezhi standing behind him, and said, “Call the police.”
He wiped the blood on his hands, then stood up and walked out.
From beginning to end, he didn’t turn his head to look at the woman who was lying on the ground, whose chest and abdomen had been chopped into mash, as if he didn’t want to cast his gaze away.
·
Approaching night.
Ye Jia and the other two went back to the administration for business.
Due to the critical situation this time and the shortage of manpower, there are too many tasks to be handled. All the remaining employees who have not been injured are all working in the hall.
“Hey, hello!” Cheng Cezhi elbows Ye Jia: “The collector.”
Ye Jia seemed to come back to his senses: “…oh.”
He handed over the collector to Liu Zhaocheng, and then dropped his eyes again.
Cheng Cezhi asked with some worry: “Brother Ye, what’s the matter with you? Why do you seem to have lost your soul since calling the police?”
Ye Jia hooked her lips, the expression on her face was the same as usual, very calm: “Nothing, just tired.”
He parted from the two, then turned around.
The smile on his face melted like snow in the sun, and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Jia walked to his desk in the hall without expression and sat down.
There are thick piles of official duties waiting to be processed on the table. Ye Jia’s eyes fall on the paper, but he sees dense black ink dots instead of individual words. He seems to be lost in thought.
There seemed to be a commotion at the gate.
But Ye Jia didn’t seem to hear it.
He was immersed in the messy and chaotic thoughts, like a drowning man struggling out of the water in the ocean currents. Nothing from the outside world could really reach his ears, and he couldn’t get him out of his mind. Pull it out.
Until the blood gu fish began to churn in Ye Jia’s pocket restlessly.
Ye Jia frowned.
He lowered his head to look at the blood gu fish in his pocket, and stretched out his hand to gently pat the outside of the pocket, trying to comfort it, but it didn’t seem to feel the same, and the churning became more intense.
At this time, Ye Jia heard the tumultuous noise in the hall.
-And a steady and regular sound of footsteps, coming in this direction from far and near.
Then he stopped at his desk.
Ye Jia saw that a pair of shoes appeared in the line of sight that he hung down, high-precision handmade leather, dark in color, with half-dried blood and minced meat remaining on it.
He looked up in astonishment.
A tall man stood in front of him, his eyes drooping, his brow bones were deep, his dark and deep eyes were hidden deep in the shadows, and a faint red light flashed under his eyes.
He slowly raised the corners of his lips, then stretched out his hands towards Ye Jia, his sleeves slid down, revealing his pale wrists.
The voice is low and magnetic, almost like a lover’s whisper:
“I came from the head.”
