Chapter 66 - \\\"Now I owe you.\\\"...
Ye Jia: “…”
While he was stunned, Ji Xuan had seized this opportunity and slipped into the quilt.
Ye Jia only felt that the bed next to him sank, and then, the other party’s cold body wrapped around like a snake, hugging him tightly into his arms.
Ji Xuan put his chin on his neck and rubbed it.
Ye Jia stiffened: “You let go…”
Ji Xuan: “I won’t let go…”
Ye Jia began to struggle: “Let go!”
Ji Xuan tightened his arms: “Don’t let go…”
Ye Jia: “…”
Is this a quarrel among elementary school students!
Ji Xuan said, “Brother, you can’t speak without counting.”
Ye Jia closed his eyes and reluctantly said: “Just five minutes…”
Ji Xuan curled up the corners of his lips, a pair of scarlet eyes gleaming in the dark, he put his arms around the thin waist of the youth with tight lines, and pressed himself and the other party tightly together, close enough to feel the other party’s stability The frequency with which the chest rises and falls when breathing, and the slight tremor of the other person’s heart beating regularly under the ribs.
Ye Jia leaned back: “It’s too close…”
In the dark, the tips of his ears were a little red, but they were covered by the night.
Ji Xuan raised his eyes, his gaze stayed on the other’s white ears for a moment, and silently licked the corners of his lips.
Even so, he relaxed his strength obediently.
Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
He counted the time passing by in his mind.
Four minutes left.
The presence of men around him is so strong that it can hardly be ignored.
City f is a bit souther than city m. Although it is the end of summer, it still bears the scorching heat. In addition, it is located in the basin, which makes it more and more hot, although Ye Jia is not afraid of heat. , But still feel uncomfortable.
Ji Xuan’s body was not as cold as before, it was like cool jade, stained with a bit of human temperature.
Three minutes left.
Ye Jia yawned.
In Vision’s illusion, he has always maintained a very high alert state. Although only a few minutes have passed to the outside world, it is a few days for him.
In the next few days after coming out, Ye Jia rarely closed his eyes.
He is accustomed to this method of high concentration and high consumption. After all, the duration of each instance in the game is not fixed. The snooze will definitely die first, so most senior players will try to shorten the sleep time as much as possible in the instance. Always maintain a sober state.
There are two minutes left.
Ye Jia’s eyelids were slightly sinking, and an irresistible sleepiness hit him, pulling and dragging him, sinking into the darkness.
There is…one minute left…
In the darkness, Ji Xuan opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the young man whose breathing became gradually steady. He smiled contentedly, and his lips opened and closed silently:
Good night, brother.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning fell from the half-covered curtains, softly and silently on the white face of the young man.
Ye Jia’s eyelashes moved.
He slowly opened his eyes, a pair of light-colored eyes appeared clear and clear in the morning light, with a hint of hazy and confused water.
At that moment, Ye Jia felt the existence of another body beside him.
“Good morning…” The man’s low, hoarse voice rang in his ears.
Ye Jia was startled and jumped up from the bed instinctively.
It was several meters away in the blink of an eye.
Ji Xuan blinked, propped up his body with his arms, and Bo was slid off his body.
He was still wearing a simple shirt, which became rumpled because of a long sleep. The placket was open, revealing a small half-pale chest, and his shoulders became more broad and his figure was superior.
“How’s your sleep?”
Ye Jia’s expression was slightly heavy, and she gritted her teeth and said, “This is not five minutes!”
Ji Xuan nodded.
He turned to look at the wall clock on the wall and said, “It’s seven hours and forty-four minutes.”
“Um…” Ji Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Ye Jia. A pair of scarlet eyes looked like some kind of brilliant gems in the sun, as if he was carefully calculating something: “That becomes now I owe you seven. Hours and thirty-nine minutes.”
He opened his arms: “You can come and ask anytime.”
Ye Jia: “…”
He raised his hand and squeezed the bridge of his nose, and felt his anger begin to rise.
Ji Xuan blinked.
He stretched out his hand, took the thin quilt that Ye Jia had just shaken to the side, and slowly covered himself.
Almost in a blink of an eye, he changed back to his juvenile form, and then got into the quilt little by little, as if he wanted to avoid the opponent’s anger.
Ye Jia: “What are you doing?”
The little boy pulled the quilt under his eyes and replied softly with a childish voice: “Sleep…”
Ye Jia almost laughed angrily: “Aren’t you a ghost?”
Ji Xuan yawned.
“But…” His eyelids lowered, as if he really felt sleepy: “I have a fever…”
——He didn’t falsify this sentence.
Maintaining the waking form during self-healing is very exhausting, and it is already his limit not to fall asleep for two days.
Ye Jia frowned: “Then why didn’t you sleep last night?”
The little boy opened his eyes, his dark red and **** eyes fixedly looked at the young man not far away, his voice was hidden under the quilt, and it seemed a little vague: “The time with brother is so precious, you can’t waste it. That’s it.”
Ye Jia was taken aback.
After answering, Ji Xuan slowly closed his eyes, as if he really started to rest.
Ye Jia’s gaze paused for a moment on the bulging drum bag on the bed.
He frowned and looked away.
Ye Jia wasn’t very willing to believe that he actually slept next to each other all night… and he didn’t even dream of those scenes in the game before.
It’s like… He seems to have gotten used to the other party’s existence, instead of treating him as an enemy anymore.
Ye Jia’s brows tightened.
He walked to the bathroom, washed and dressed briefly, then picked up the folder on the bedside, then turned and walked out of the room.
Before leaving, Ye Jia turned his head and cast one last look at the room behind him——
He must be too tired recently.
That’s it.
Ye Jia pulled out the room card and turned to go out.
The door closed behind his back with a click.
Ye Jia suddenly realized that he had forgotten to let Ji Xuan return to M City.
However, if he is just going to stay in the hotel to make up his sleep, it should not have a big impact, and the room is a standard room, it’s a big deal that he will change to a bed tonight.
As long as he doesn’t participate in this mission, there is no problem.
After Ye Jia made up his mind, he stepped downstairs and met with the other three in the lobby.
“How is it? Did you find anything unusual?” Chen Qingye also held a thick stack of documents in his arms. He pushed his glasses and asked, looking over Ye Jia inadvertently.
“No…” Wei Yuechu shrugged: “They are all uncharacteristic death cases… They are so common, there is nothing special.”
Ye Jia nodded: “This is mine too.”
Blast coughed unnaturally, his eyes drifted, and he didn’t answer.
Wei Yuechu squinted her eyes: “Blast, did you look at it?”
“I… Of course I watched!” Blast raised his voice.
Everyone’s eyes fell on him. Under everyone’s gaze, Blast’s face slowly turned red, and his voice gradually became smaller because of his guilty conscience: “But…but it’s really boring. Me, I just…”
“What’s the matter?” Chen Qingye asked.
Blast whispered: “It’s over…”
So, on the way to the Supernatural Administration of F City, everyone closed their eyes and rested. Only Blast was forced to start studying the document he hadn’t finished reading last night in the car. The dark Ah Chang was lying behind him. On the back of his chair, as soon as he noticed that he was distracted or lazy, he clicked the pliers a few times.
Blast wants to cry without tears, and can only seize the time to look through the files.
——Are you all demons? !
Finally, everyone arrived at the Nature Administration of City F. Ye Jia and the other two went to talk together. Only Blast was forced to stay in the lobby and continue to read the documents. Blast: “…”
You guys are so cruel!
The required information has been transferred out, and the head employee handed them a USB flash drive and said, “All you need is here.”
Wei Yuechu blinked, but did not take it: “That…isn’t there a paper version?”
She stayed in the game longer and became more disconnected from modern society. She even preferred to fight directly with ghosts instead of dealing with these high-tech things.
The employee glanced at her with a foolish look: “Do you know how many cases of natural deaths and accidental deaths have been since the opening of the ghost gate in F city? In addition, the autopsy report and background investigation, the paper version of the report The rooms can’t fit.”
Wei Yuechu: “…”
Chen Qingye stretched out his hand and took the USB drive: “Thank you…”
The three turned around and walked out together.
Wei Yuechu lowered her voice and asked, “Are there really so many?”
Chen Qingye was surprised that the deepest understanding of technology among them all, he nodded: “Yes…”
Wei Yuechu was stunned: “Then…how long will it take us to finish?”
Chen Qingye sighed, “I don’t know…”
It may take a long time for them to process the file this time.
Wei Yuechu wailed: “We won’t stay in this ghost place for long?”
Her voice was so loud that it was heard by several employees passing by, and they turned their heads to look at her.
Ye Jia: “You keep your voice down…”
Wei Yuechu’s expression on the face of the kid who did the wrong thing was caught, she lowered her voice a little bit embarrassedly: “Sorry…”
Chen Qingye turned his head and glanced at Wei Yuechu, seeming a little surprised.
At this moment, the three of them have arrived in the hall.
Just showing up, Blast, who was sitting in the hall, lit up and rushed towards them.
Wei Yuechu was taken aback by him: “Why are you bluffing?”
Blast’s expression was extremely excited, and he didn’t even care about Wei Yuechu’s irritable attitude: “I have found it!”
Several people were refreshed.
Chen Qingye stepped forward slightly, her voice pressed with excitement: “What? Have you found something wrong in the file?”
“Hurt, how is it possible.” Blast scratched the back of his head and said carelessly: “I can’t read it after reading two pages. You won’t be back for so long, so I went to chat with the lady at the front desk.”
Everyone: “…”
Chen Qingye’s eyes behind the lenses were slightly narrowed, and at the cuffs, Ah Chang stuck out half of his dark head, staring at the blast, as if he was about to move.
Blast was so scared that he almost took a step back.
He hurriedly said: “Eh eh! Wait! You should listen to me first!”
Chen Qingye held down A Chang’s head and said slowly: “You said…”
Blast looked at the bug in the other party’s sleeve with a lingering fear, and moved a little distance away without a trace, and then continued: “Um… we just happened to have a conversation, they happened to be discussing a news that just happened yesterday. A few blocks away, an office worker died unexpectedly while returning home from get off work. Almost everyone is discussing this today.”
Wei Yuechu frowned: “What’s the accident?”
Blast winked her eyes pretendingly and said: “This is the point.”
He said: “A truck with steel pipes happened to pass by. The rope was loose at the intersection that was passing by, and one of the steel pipes fell down and directly pierced the eye socket of the office worker.”
Everyone was startled.
This way of death…
It is bizarre indeed.
The roads in the city are all speed-limited, not to mention whether the steel pipe can be given enough potential energy, even if it can, it must be able to target the weakest eye socket on the human skull when the vehicle is running. This probability It is too small.
If it is really an accident, then this person’s luck is too bad.
Blast triumphantly folded his arms and said: “Although the police investigation has not come out yet, it is estimated that there is a high probability that it will be counted as an accidental death. How about it? Is it a very interesting case? If there is no me, you will…”
Before he could finish his words, Chen Qingye interrupted him: “Apart from this office worker, are there any other casualties?”
blast: “I don’t know…”
Wei Yuechu then asked: “Does the bureau here send people to detect fluctuations in supernatural activities?”
blast: “I didn’t ask…”
Chen Qingye pushed his glasses: “What’s the use for you.”
blast: “…”
His whole body wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.
The other two turned around and walked towards the office, ready to ask for more details.
Ye Jia paused, looked at the stunned blast, and praised compassionately: “Good job…”
Blast’s eyes lit up, and suddenly came alive like a watered plant. He looked at Ye Jia very moved: “You…”
“Oh, yes…” Ye Jia smiled slightly: “Don’t forget to finish reading your files.”
After speaking, he turned around and Shi Shiran walked in the direction where Chen Qingye and Wei Yuechu disappeared.
Blast stood stupidly on the spot, looking at the young man’s slowly disappearing back: “…”
I’m so stupid, really.
I have forgotten that he is the worst one.
In the office.
The employee on duty happens to be Liang Yi.
“Oh, you are talking about this.” He lowered his head and tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly: “Everyone is talking about this today. After all, this kind of thing is really outrageous, right? I sent someone with the detector this morning, and found nothing, alas, it should be simply bad luck…After all, God wants people to die sometimes.”
The voice fell, and he had already tuned out what he needed.
Liang Yi turned the computer screen around so that the three people in front of him could see it.
The one above is the surveillance camera at that street junction.
The tragedy only takes a few seconds.
A few seconds ago, the whole street was still bustling, calm and prosperous. A few seconds later, there was a sudden change, steel pipes were flying around in the narrow screen, the man’s eye sockets were inserted with steel pipes, and then the whole person fell to the ground with blood. Slowly flowing and spreading from under his body, everyone around him became a mess.
Chen Qingye repeatedly pulled the progress bar several times.
The trajectory of the steel pipe is indeed tricky, but there is no trace of external force operation.
He raised his head and looked at Liang Yi: “Are there any other casualties in this accident?”
Liang Yi: “Eh…it doesn’t seem to be there?”
Ye Jia frowned: “Are there any minor injuries?”
“Probably…” Liang Yi touched the back of his head: “I don’t seem to hear any injuries at the scene?”
The three looked at each other.
This is even more strange. With so many steel pipes scattered, the others didn’t even have a bruise, only the office worker was stabbed through the head.
In the hall…
Ye Jia said to Chen Qingye: “Go to the morgue, bring new detection equipment, and see if there are any problems with the corpse.”
He looked at Wei Yuechu: “You and blast will go to this person’s house to check it out based on the address shown on the information.”
Blast frowned: “Why me and this mother night…”
Wei Yuechu narrowed her eyes and looked over dangerously.
Ye Jia interrupted the opponent in time before he could say the next one without a word: “Then you want to act with Chen Qingye?”
Chen Qingye pushed his glasses: “I have no objection…”
Blast thought of the pet that the other party had kept, his face was slightly green: “Forget it…”
Ye Jia: “In short, two people are necessary to go to the victim’s home. One of them communicates with the family members and asks about the situation, and the other goes to the room to check for abnormalities.”
Wei Yuechu asked, “What about you?”
Ye Jia squinted his eyes: “I will go to the scene of the incident to see.”
“Remember to contact if you have any news.”
Ye Jia left first, Chen Qingye, Wei Yuechu and Blast fell slightly behind, and walked out together.
Chen Qingye looked at Wei Yuechu thoughtfully: “I rarely see you following orders like this.”
Wei Yuechu raised her eyebrows: “I like to listen to handsome guys, have any opinions?”
She squinted her eyes slightly, and looked up and down Chen Qingye: “However, in terms of obedience, you can’t let it go.”
“Of course…” Chen Qingye said without changing his face, “Ye Jia has worked for the Supernatural Administration for longer than us. He is our predecessor. He must know better than us in terms of process. I am willing to follow the arrangements of the predecessors.”
The two of them looked at each other with ghosts, then turned and walked in opposite directions.
I sneered at the same time in my heart——
He doesn’t know anything about her.
Blast blankly turned his head to look at the back of the two of them, suddenly there was an inexplicable sense of sight… Why did he always feel that this scene before him had happened?
Wei Yuechu turned her head and shouted with a bad temper, “Hey, are you coming?”
Blast scratched his head and followed up: “Wait for me!”
Ye Jia came to the scene of the crime.
Since this is a bustling section, the traces of the accident yesterday have been almost cleared, but despite this, the flow of people and vehicles is still much smaller than before.
Ye Jia came to the place where the accident happened according to his memory.
He turned his head and glanced at the surveillance camera not far behind, then retracted his gaze to look at a clearing in front of him.
The blood stains have been cleaned up, but there are still white marks on the ground from the impact of the steel pipe.
This is it.
Ye Jia pulled away the ghost and took out the little black hand who was still addicted to playing with mobile phones.
Xiao Hei Shou struggled dissatisfiedly: “Hey! What are you doing?”
Ye Jia said, “Is there any problem here?”
The little black hand protested: “You are a squeeze! Naked squeeze!”
Ye Jia: “Yes…”
Little Black Hand: “…”
Ye Jia: “Welcome to find the union.”
Little Black Hand: “…”
you are vicious……
It slid out of Ye Jia’s palm, and then swam around in the clearing where the accident occurred.
Xiao Hei shook his fingers: “It’s okay.”
Ye Jia frowned: “Can’t you feel any Yin Qi fluctuations?”
Little Black Hand: “Yes…”
Ye Jia’s brow furrowed even tighter.
In fact, he did not notice any yin qi fluctuations, so he let the little black hands who are more sensitive to yin qi fluctuations come out to feel it, but if he can’t even feel it, there is a high probability that there is indeed no…
Could it be said that the death of the office worker was simply an accident?
It floated on Ye Jia’s shoulder and habitually grabbed his collar: “What happened here?”
Ye Jia was startled: “You can’t feel it?”
The little black hand is even more confused: “What?”
Ye Jia’s expression became serious.
Areas where unnatural deaths have occurred will be more or less contaminated.
Regardless of whether the death of the office worker was an accident or not, this is the place where he died, and more importantly, this incident happened just yesterday, so there will inevitably be part of the deceased’s grievances, even the spirit body— However, as a ghost, Xiao Hei Shou didn’t realize that life had ever been killed here.
It’s so clean.
There is something wrong.
At this moment, Ye Jia’s phone buzzed twice.
Chen Qingye sent him two photos.
The first photo is of the detector carried by Chen Qingye, and the index on it is close to zero.
For a corpse that has just died, this value is really low and a bit abnormal.
The background was obviously a metal bed in a morgue. The arms of the corpse placed on it showed a lifeless blue-gray color, and there were two wounds near it.
One horizontal and one vertical, crossing diagonally.
It seems to have been scratched with a knife.
“This is the only trauma on the corpse.” Chen Qingye sent an explanation: “Do you know Ye Ge?”
Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly.
The wound seemed to be just two random scratches, but I don’t know why, this shape gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
Ye Jia was startled.
He opened his palm, and there was a shallow scar on the base of his palm near his wrist.
One horizontal and one vertical, crossing each other.
There are two very shallow whites, and it is almost difficult to see if you don’t look closely.
After leaving the game, all the wounds on Ye Jia’s body were healed, all the scars left in the game disappeared, only this was left on his wrist.
Ye Jia didn’t remember how it came from.
He even wondered if he left it before entering the game.
But because it is really difficult to find, Ye Jia rarely remembered that he still had this scar on his hand.
After Chen Qingye finished his investigation, Blast and Wei Yuechu also found nothing.
They decided to go back to the hotel first, study the clues they have gotten, look through the documents they got from the administration, and see if there is any breakthrough from other places.
Ye Jia didn’t tell them of his discovery.
He returned to the hotel room.
Ji Xuan was lying on one of the beds, covered with a thin quilt, and looked small.
Ye Jia retracted his gaze and began to look through the documents in his hand.
The sound of paper rubbing sounded regularly in the quiet hotel room, and the sunlight outside the window gradually slanted westward and gradually dimmed.
Ye Jia’s gaze fell on one of the pages in front of him, and he did not move for a long time.
He seemed to be in a trance.
Unconsciously, Ye Jia flipped his wrists subconsciously, and his eyes fell on the two faint scars on his skin that were almost invisible. The light-colored eyes were hidden under the long eyelashes, and the bottom of the eyes flickered. With a thoughtful look.
At this moment, there was a faint rustling voice from the bed on the side.
Ye Jia turned to look around.
I saw that Ji Xuan didn’t know when he opened his eyes. Those scarlet eyes were shining strangely in the dusk, and he was staring at Ye Jia from a distance.
“Good evening…” His voice was a little dumb: “Brother, what are you looking at?”
Ye Jia flipped his wrists and pursed his lips: “Nothing…”
Ji Xuan got up from the other bed, Bo was slid off his body, his black hair was a little messy, and the tails of his hair curled up, looking a little funny.
He walked down barefoot and walked to Ye Jia’s side.
The little boy stretched out his cold slender fingers, gently grasped Ye Jia’s wrist, and pulled his hand over, revealing two shallow scars: “Does it still hurt?”
Ye Jia had a slight pause when he was about to withdraw his hand.
His eyes widened slightly, fixedly looking at Ji Xuan in front of him, his brain blanked for a moment.
The meaning of this sentence is…
Ji Xuan knew how his wound came from? !
However, before he could ask any questions, the little boy in front of him suddenly lowered his head and kissed the small piece of skin on his wrist.
The cold and soft lips gently rubbed over, as if a delicate feather was swept inadvertently, bringing up a slight tingling and shudder.
Ji Xuan raised his head, squinted his red eyes and smiled, “This way it won’t hurt.”
