Chapter 77
Yejia stared at the box opened in front of him.
The blood was thick and thick, and the two eyeballs floated in it. They reflected weak light in the dark room, as if they were still alive. They turned slightly in the blood, as if they were quietly looking back from the darkness.
In the dark, Yejia and his eyes looked at each other.
It seemed to want to say something, but it remained silent.
He combed the guess over and over in his mind and compared it with every clue he had got so far.
The more you think, the more startling the corresponding points.
Ye Jia's eyes were slightly restrained, and the light blood color was reflected in the light amber eyes, just like a wisp of blood sinking into the bottom of the lake.
Although the game collapsed and the ghost door opened, for some reason, my mother couldn't leave the game.
The ghost king is the representative of her mother in the world, while other high-level fierce ghosts want to find parts of her body - from the human skin clothes in M city to the missing heart in a woman's chest, and then to the eyes in front of her.
There must be very strict restrictions on these collected organs, otherwise, by means of those fierce ghosts, my mother can't have collected them up to now.
Now, the key question is
How much does mother need? And where did those fierce ghosts go? How far is it from completion?
——Humans, how much time is left?
Ye Jia's eyebrows frowned and his mind was confused.
His fingers hanging on his side tightened slightly, his pale fingertips faded with force, and his neatly trimmed smooth fingernails left meniscus like finger marks in the palm.
Suddenly, the cold touch gently fell on the back of the young man's hand.
Like snowflakes falling silently and kissing gently on warm skin.
Yezei was shocked and turned to look at his side.
Ji Xuan didn't know when he came to him and stood side by side with him. His red pupil dropped slightly, but his sight didn't fall on the eyeball floating in a pool of blood not far away.
He gently lifted Yejia's hand and carefully spread out the young man's clenched fingers. The pale and cold fingertips brushed on the pinch marks in the palm, like a breeze.
The youth's fingertips trembled.
Yejia instinctively withdrew his hand, but he did not break free from the shackles of each other's fingers.
Ji Xuan raised his eyes and looked fixedly at Yezei with dark and deep scarlet eyes. The blood colored pupils flowed and fluctuated silently in the dark, like a deep river of blood surging in the abyss. His voice was low with a trace of cold dumb meaning:
"Brother, do you know? You have a gift you never noticed. "
He held out his hand and gently touched the young man's thin and warm eyelids with his fingertips.
Yejia was forced to close his eyes.
"You can always see the key." In the boundless darkness, the man's dumb voice is close at hand: "ignore the confusion of all irrelevant interference items, and accurately find the most critical clue and the most original problem - every time, every copy."
Ye Jiawei was stunned.
He felt the fingers of the other party falling on his eyelids gently withdraw.
Yejia opened his eyes.
The tall man in front of him lowered his head, printed a cold kiss on his open palm, raised his eyes and looked at him, with a faint smile on his thin and sharp lips:
"If you can't solve this mystery, no one in the world can."
Ye Jiading fixed his eyes and stared at the man in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the look at the bottom of his eyes was inexplicable.
Ignore all interference items.
He was stunned.
Yezei stared at Ji Xuan's eyes bit by bit, and then fiercely held Ji Xuan's wrist with his back hand. His pale eyes twinkled with a threatening light, like a sharp blade penetrating the dark, cold and bright, like fear and excitement. His breath was a little unstable, and he said word by word:
"Come on, we're going back to m city."
On the train.
Chen Qingye, Wei yuechu and blast sat opposite Yejia. They all looked puzzled.
The slight impact and vibration of the train echoed in the dead carriage, making people drowsy. The whole carriage was empty and there was no one except them.
Chen Qingye frowned. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked:
"Why go back?"
Wei yuechu was also puzzled:
"If things are really the same as you guessed, and the mothers of the fierce ghosts and monsters are collecting bodies that can bring themselves back to the world, shouldn't we force us to find out the whereabouts of other high-level fierce ghosts, disrupt their plans and make them unable to complete their tasks at all? What's the use of going back to m city? "
There was no expression on Yejia's face. His eyes fell firmly on the table in front of him, as if studying the winding lines above.
When he heard Wei yuechu's question, he raised his eyes.
Yejia said:
"Do you remember the skinning case that was rampant in M city?"
The three nodded.
Yejia continued: "I remember that I told you just now that I saw a container full of victims' leather clothes at the port of M city."
The three nodded again.
Yejia gently tapped the table in front of him with his fingertips and made a regular aggressive sound. He said:
"Not one, but a box."
Chen Qingye was stunned: "you mean...?"
"Yes." Yezei nodded:
"Although there must be strict restrictions on the organs that can be used as the mother's body, it is definitely not unique. This time, although we intercepted this pair of eyeballs, the mother can send other fierce ghosts to look for organs that meet the same conditions. If we follow the path of city by city, we will always lag behind by several steps."
The other three people's expressions gradually dignified.
Yezei narrowed his eyes slightly: "if we want to walk before them, we must find the key."
——It was like Ji Xuan reminded him that night.
So, where is the key point?
That rainy night thirty years ago.
That was the only trace of "mother" in the world before the ghost door opened.
Yezei raised his eyes to look at the three people in front of him and said, "I checked the records of the police station. The serial homicide case of peeling human skin only appeared in M City, and the case of heart disappearance also appeared in M city after the night trip of ghosts, even..." his voice was slightly calm, but he naturally continued to say: "even the city where Ji Xuan, the ghost king, appeared, is also here."
With his fingertips stained with water, he pointed to the map drawn unconsciously on the table and said softly:
"Although we don't know the reason yet, m city must be in the middle of the storm."
Yejia said everything to the point, and the three people in front of him couldn't help falling into meditation.
Suddenly, blast said, "so..."
The others turned to look at him.
"Why on earth did he come with me?"
The young man with red hair, expressionless, pointed not far away - saw a tall and straight man standing at the junction of the carriage and the carriage. His scarlet eyes had already been transformed into the darkness of the night. He was holding a cup between his pale and slender fingers, and now hot water was coming.
Chen Qingye, Wei yuechu: "
I know you can't ask any deep questions.
But——
In fact, they are also curious about the answer to this question.
At the same time, they turned their heads and looked at Yejia.
At this time, Wei yuechu suddenly thought of something and asked, "by the way, at the abandoned construction site that night, you said you could explain. What are you trying to explain?"
Yezei: "
Chen Qingye nodded: "now we are free, you can talk."
Yezei: "......"
Ah, is that what it's like to lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot?
At this moment, Ji Xuan had come back with a cup of steaming hot water. He naturally sat down beside Ye Jia. His two long legs overlapped each other, and the space suddenly became narrow.
Almost instantaneously, the white steam in the cup decreases at a speed visible to the naked eye, from hot water to warm water with appropriate temperature and can be directly imported.
Ji Xuan naturally pushed the water cup in front of Yezei:
"Thirsty?"
The three opposite were stunned.
They looked at the terrible ghost king who was particularly approachable in front of them, looked at the cup of hot water with moderate temperature, and then looked at Yezei with stiff expression. The three eyes radiated strong gossip desire and curiosity.
Yezei: "......"
You're not helping at all!!!
He took a deep breath and said dryly, "it's a long story..."
"It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time." Wei yuechu answered calmly.
Ji Xuan chuckled, "Oh, so you're talking about this."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and lifted a slightly malicious smile on his lips: "we've known each other for much longer than you."
The three people were surprised at the same time.
what?
"The relationship... Is also very complicated."
The man's voice is low and dull, with a trace of indistinct ambiguity. His pale fingers gently hook the loose collar and pull it down to reveal the clearly defined clavicle:
"Do you want to see the marks my brother left on me?"
People: "!!!!"
what the fuck!??
Big melon!!! Amazing melon!!!!!!!!
Yezei curved his elbow expressionless, and then gave a ruthless elbow to the fragile waist and abdomen of the man beside him.
Ji Xuan arched up, bared his teeth and took a breath:
"... so cruel?"
Yezei raised his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him. They were stunned by the impact of too large amount of information. Their minds were blank. They were looking at them foolishly. They seemed to jump repeatedly on the edge of disbelief and collapse of world outlook.
Yezei had a headache. He raised his hand, rubbed his jumping forehead and said:
"Well... Anyway, this is the child who has been following me in the game."
Wei yuechu was stunned.
She suddenly opened her eyes and pointed her trembling fingers at the careless smiling man in front of her: "you..."
It can't be true?!
The lovely little boy they saw under the dreamer building... Is Ji Xuan?!
Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows and opened and closed his thin lips, but what came out of his mouth was a slightly dumb and tender child voice:
"What? You don't remember me? I'm so sad. "
Pupil earthquake at the beginning of Wei month: "!"
Her hair bristled and she got goose bumps.
This man is so scary!!!!
She slowly turned her head, looked at Yejia and said dryly, "well... He said he made you angry, which means...???"
"Oh, this."
Ji Xuan relaxed on the back of his chair, with a casual smile in his dark eyes: "I wanted to kill him."
People: "!?"
Yejia looked the same: "yes, he also wanted to turn me into a fierce ghost."
People: "?!"
wait? What is this?
Ji Xuan used his fingertips to hook his collar and pulled it down, revealing the ferocious and uneven terrible scars on his pale chest. His voice seemed to have some regret: "so I was taught a lesson."
People: "............"
Their expressions were blank. For a moment, they didn't know how to deal with such an unpredictable - strange relationship in front of them.
Ji Xuan seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Oh, yes, in fact, I'm still his..."
——Girlfriend.
Yezei raised his feet expressionless, stepped on each other's feet, and even rolled them mercilessly.
Just then, the speed of the train slowed down, and the sound of mechanical friction and shaking decreased.
Yezei raised the curtain and looked out: "here we are."
He stood up, slowly stepped over the legs of the man in front of him, and calmly said, "get ready, we should go."
Only three people who are eager to see and thirst for knowledge are left behind——
wait! What is it? What is it!
Ji Xuan or his what?
The man in front of them smiled at them. The next second, before they reacted, the tall and threatening ghost king was suddenly replaced by a small boy with thin and dark pupils.
He jumped down from his seat and hurried after Yejia in the direction of disappearance:
"Brother, wait for me!"
Chen Qingye: "
Wei yuechu: "
BLAST:“……”
I don't know who broke the silence first: "do you think it's a little scary?"
"... yes."
"Very."
Outside the railway station.
Wu Su didn't pick them up because of his busy business, but sent others.
Cheng cezhi poked his head out of the car and waved to the people in front of him, with a bright smile on his face: "here!!"
He was slightly stunned, looked at the little boy closely behind Yejia and asked, "ah, who is this?"
Yejia seemed to remember. He looked down at Ji Xuan and said, "Oh, my friend's child, come to m city for a few days."
"...." the expressions of the other three were slightly distorted.
The blue veins on blast's forehead jumped.
Lying doesn't wait to blink. It's you, scum man!
"Oh, oh! Hello, children! " The smile on Cheng CE's face became more enthusiastic. He ignored the more eccentric expressions of the other three people. He bent down and took a few sweets from the storage box in his car and handed them over: "do you eat sweets?"
Ji Xuan: "
Yejia glanced at him coolly: "why don't you answer?"
Ji Xuan pulled at the corners of his mouth and took the sugar.
Yezei: "don't say thank you?"
Ji Xuan took a deep breath and said with difficulty:
"... thank you."
Cheng cezhi smiled brightly: "Oh, you're welcome. Just call me brother Cheng later..."
Before he finished, Yejia reached out and picked up Ji Xuan's collar, threw him into the car, calmly pointed to the long queue behind the car, and said, "it's getting late, don't block the road here."
"Oh, yes!" Cheng CE wakes up and starts the car quickly.
Inside the car.
Ji Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the young man sitting beside him.
From his point of view, he can only see each other's cold mandibular arc and slightly pursed lips, which are very cold and inhumane.
Ji Xuan's smile deepened.
He peeled off one of the sweets, put it in his mouth, then stretched out his hand and quietly hooked each other's thumb.
For the first time, the other party broke away.
The second time is the same.
……
I don't know how many times, Yezei was too lazy to argue with him, so he let Ji Xuan's sneaky little moves go.
Ji Xuan pushed an inch, from one finger to two fingers, and finally pulled the other party's whole hand.
He raised his eyes and looked again at the expressionless face of the young man. The candy melted slowly in the cold mouth, but a sweet feeling slowly spread from the hard candy and from the tip of his tongue, which seemed to dye a trace of sweetness in his empty body as a fierce ghost.
Ji Xuan raised his lips contentedly and stopped moving.
Soon, the car stopped downstairs at the supernatural authority, and five people, four big and one small, came down from the car one after another.
Cheng cezhi poked out his head and said, "go up first. I'm going to stop!"
Yezei looked at the three people in front of him and said, "what we are looking for now is how the mother screened her organs. Only in this way can we deduce her next action."
He looked at Chen Qingye: "can you investigate all the victims of the peeling incident?"
Chen Qingye nodded: "of course."
Yezei looked at Wei yuechu and said, "go and see the case of killing your wife."
"OK."
"As for you..." Yezei looked at blast and seemed to hesitate: "how about you and Chen Qingye act together?"
Blast blew up: "Hey, what do you mean! Why did you hesitate?! Do you look down on me? "
He was so angry that he was ready to roll his sleeves and fight with Ye Jia.
"No, no, no, it's just that there are many people in the peeling case. I'm afraid Chen Qingye can't handle it alone without your help..." Yezei made it up without changing his face.
Blast looked at him suspiciously: "seriously?"
Yezei nodded: "seriously."
"That's about the same." Although blast still has a face, the corners of his mouth can't help rising slightly.
"OK, let's go to work!" He took Chen Qingye and walked towards the gate of the authority. As he walked, he clubbed each other with his elbow: "Hey, did you hear that, ACE, he said I..."
The two people's backs and voices were getting farther and farther away until they couldn't hear them.
Yezei: "
It's so funny.
Wei yuechu, who remained, turned to Yejia and asked, "what about you?"
Yezei raised his hand and showed her the iron box in his hand: "I'll go to the forensic to see if I can identify this person."
"Why not identify it in the capital?" Wei yuechu was puzzled.
Yezei paused. After all, he still didn't say his doubts about the headquarters of the authority. He smiled: "after all, m city is the key."
That's why have to come back as soon as possible.
Wei yuechu nodded: "Oh, that's right."
She waved to Yejia, "I wish you success!"
Yezei turned his head to Ji Xuan and raised his eyebrows: "do you want to maintain this appearance?"
Ji Xuan sighed with some pity and recovered the appearance of an adult man.
Yezei shook off the other party's hand without expression and said faintly:
"Let's go."
Ji Xuan lowered his head, glanced at his empty palm and sighed again.
He knew.
Once it gets bigger, the previous benefits disappear. Damn it.
Yezei went to the medical examiner first. He showed the pass of the supernatural authority, then gave his eyeballs to the other party and simply told them to contact him as soon as they got the results.
However, after doing this, he didn't go.
"Excuse me, if I want to check the forensic identification report of a case 30 years ago, where should I go?" Yejia stopped each other and asked.
"Thirty years ago?" The other party was stunned: "I'm afraid it hasn't been entered into the electronic system so long ago. Why don't you go to the paper data room?"
Under the guidance of the other party, Yejia came to the reference room.
It was dark and smelled of old paper.
He walked slowly along the corridor between the shelves, glancing at the strange dates.
Suddenly, Yejia's pace suddenly stopped.
His eyes fell on the top shelf not far away - the date was written on the spine of one volume of information in faint ink marks:
September 12, 19XX.
The date he will never forget.
Yezei pursed his lips slightly and raised his hand to take down the thick stack of data covered with dust.
He opened the information and looked back page by page, but he didn't see the familiar name.
How could?
Yezei frowned and turned it over again.
Not really.
——Several pages are missing.
And those pages just include the autopsy records of his father and mother.
Ye Jia's eyes are slightly coagulated.
He found the duty record of this period from another shelf, and his sight paused for a few seconds on one of the very familiar forensic names.
Yezei secretly wrote down the address registered by the other party, and then inserted the data back to the original position.
He said to Ji Xuan at the door of the reference room, "let's go."
In front of us is an old residential building, which seems to have an extra sense of age. The old brick walls are covered with green moss, and the open space outside is hung with colored sheets and quilt covers.
The tall and straight young man stood under the building, looked up at the residential building in front of him, and then walked inward.
The corridor was dimly lit and filled with the smell of dust and food.
Yejia stopped at one of the doors. He paused. His eyes stayed on the mottled and faded 303 on the door for a few seconds, then bent his fingers and knocked gently.
Behind the door came the sound of staggering and dragging footsteps, and the friction sound of things being moved on the ground.
The old voice sounded: "come, come..."
The sound of the metal latch being opened was particularly clear in the dead corridor. The old door panel in front of her was opened, revealing an old woman's wrinkled face. She looked very old. Every gully on her face seemed to be engraved with the traces of years. A pair of muddy eyes narrowed and looked out through thick reading glasses: "who?"
Yezei pursed his lips and whispered:
"Hello, Dr. Chen, I'm... A distant relative of the deceased in a case you once handled. I'm here to inquire about it with you..."
"Previous cases..." Dr. Chen pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose with his bark like fingers and shook his head shakily: "I'm old and useless. I don't remember much about previous things. You may have made a trip in vain..."
"Wait..." Yezei hurriedly reached out his hand to the door that the other party was going to close:
"Are you still impressed with the case of Qi Rou and ye Huiyong?"
Dr. Chen's action was a meal.
She raised her eyes and looked at Yejia, then sighed slowly and released her hand: "come in."
"Miserable, miserable."
The old lady walked into the room on crutches and said shakily, "I have worked for so many years and rarely see such a tragic case..."
She turned her head and asked:
"Eh... Since you are a distant relative of their family, do you know what happened to the child later?"
Yejia's voice restrained: "it is said that it seems to be missing."
Dr. Chen was stunned:
"Sin."
Although more than thirty years have passed, she can still recall it clearly——
The little boy who was wet by the rain had a pale face and blue lips. He was shivering uncontrollably in the chair of the police station. He was covered with blood from the skirt to his pants, but there was no tear in his eyes. He just stared at the open space in front of him.
He had a terrible night that no one could imagine.
In just one day——
Bereavement of mother.
Kill your father.
