CH 92

Suddenly-----

“Mother is back.”Ji Xuan looked out the window and narrowed his eyes.The black and red sky that was covered in grey clouds spread out further. The air trembled with the arrival of a powerful existence.Ye Jia looked over at Ji Xuan.They both felt someone calling them from deep in their blood.It was Mother’s voice.Ye Jia lowered his head and straightened his clothes. His voice was still a little hoarse: “….Let’s go.”Ji Xuan however stepped forward and held the other party’s wrist.“?” Ye Jia looked up at the other party with a questioning look.Ji Xuan then proceeded to make the other person’s clothes a little messier.Ye Jia frowned, “What are you doing?”“It won’t be good if it’s too neat.” Ji Xuan laughed lowly. With his scarlet eyes slightly lowered, he raised his hand and rubbed the other party’s lips with his thumb, “Didn’t you say we should act it out fully, gege?”Ye Jia’s eyes flickered.He let go of the other person’s hand, allowing the other party to do as he pleased.At the M City Centre.High-rise buildings stood tall against the dark and gloomy sky. The bodies piled up below had clearly been replaced with more bodies that piled up even higher than before.Mother was waiting for them.She lowered her gentle-looking face and her scarlet eyes that shone bright in the darkness swept over her two direct descendants who had come forward.They came over one after another. In that not too far yet not too close distance between the two, there seemed to be some kind of inseparable connection and intimacy, as if they were supposed to be one.Messy hair, ruffled clothes.Mother’s eyes narrowed slightly, “My children, do you still remember what we talked about last time? About how I…..may need you to help me out a little?”Ji Xuan, “Of course.”Mother continued, “The humans have lately not been very well behaved.”Ye Jia’s expression remained calm on the surface:“What? They’re trying to resist?”“Perhaps.” Mother said indifferently, “They’re just bugs trying to make their final struggle, it can’t change anything. However….”She raised her hand and slid her pale fingers across her face:“They should be taught a lesson.”Mother’s expression was still very gentle but the words spoken were careless and cruel, “Slaughter a few cities.”She leaned down and brought that familiar face close to Ye Jia:“Which city do you two like?”Ye Jia’s heart turned cold.Mother continued, “I still need about two hundred thousand humans. Bring them to me, I will tell you the location.”She straightened back up, “You can do as you please with the rest of them. Eat them or kill them, it’s up to you.”The woman raised her hand and waved at them, “You can go.”She smiled, “I will be waiting for the good news from you, my children.”.

After moving out of Mother’s range of control, Ye Jia stood in the middle of an empty ruin, deep in contemplation.This time, he and Ji Xuan were assigned to different cities.Very clearly, the other party deliberately separated them --- This was a good thing for Ye Jia. Separating them would mean that Mother would need to exert double the effort to monitor them and it would be easier for them to do things without being discovered by her.But….There should still be some time before Mother proceeds with her plans. Although it wasn’t much, this time shouldn’t be wasted. After all, there were still a lot of things he had to figure out and now was not the time to reveal himself.But if they did what they did last time…..Even if they could try and hide everyone, they wouldn’t be able to bring back with them two hundred thousand humans to report to Mother.No matter how you think about it, it was a dead end.Right at this moment, Ye Jia felt a weight fall onto his shoulder.He looked over----His cheek was poked.Ye Jia, “………”His temples throbbed, “Immature.”Ji Xuan smiled and poked the space between the other party’s brows, “Gege, don’t frown.”He continued, “If you’re worried about those two hundred thousand souls, I have a solution.”Ye Jia was surprised, “….What?”Ji Xuan raised the corners of his lips, “I’m not telling you.”Ye Jia narrowed his eyes dangerously.Ji Xuan pointed at his lips, “Gege can give me another reward….”The corners of Ye Jia’s lips twitched, “Forget it.”He turned around and walked away.Ji Xuan quickened his pace and chased after him. He stuck to him like gum, “In short, just leave it to me.”He smiled lightly and leaned closer to the other person’s ear:“You should at least let me show off sometimes.”The man’s low voice was slightly dragged out and it carried intentional huskiness, as if he was acting spoiled.Ye Jia’s footsteps stopped.He turned back with his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the man standing close to him.A few seconds later, he forcefully rubbed the other party’s hair:“Let’s go.”The man was slightly surprised.Those actions that carried casual intimacy made his thinking stagnate for a few seconds.The moment Ye Jia finished speaking, his figure disappeared down the street, leaving Ji Xuan standing alone.There were still some fluctuations in the air from previously activating a ghost domain.He stretched his hand out to take in the traces left behind in the air by the young man.Ji Xuan paused.He slowly withdrew his hand, brought it to his lips and lightly kissed that part of his hand. Possessiveness flashed across his eyes.With gege like this….it made it even harder for him to let him go.

.Ye Jia’s figure slowly appeared in the suburbs.Through the shadows of the trees, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the city in the distance.Slaughter the city…..He gently raised his finger. Thick yin energy eroded away the blue sky above him and low hanging dark clouds charged towards the city.The city residents looked up at the sky in fear, staring at the abnormal sky.A panicked voice sounded:“What’s going on?”“What’s happening?”The Bureau’s alarms rang through the city and trained staff from the Bureau quickly took action. They tried to maintain order with great difficulty while at the same time they tried to get into contact with the outside world.They knew very well what would happen after this from previous experience.M City was almost completely destroyed and it had now become the monster’s lair and almost impossible for anyone to enter. If they hadn’t evacuated the residents in time, everyone would have probably lost their lives in that disaster.But this time…..They hadn’t received any warnings nor were they given any time to react at all!Almost every member of the Bureau knew very well that they were not in a good situation.The communicator buzzed and a panicked voice sounded from the other end: “The edge of the city has been blocked by dark clouds! It’s impossible to get out! All the detectors become useless the moment it enters. There is no way to break in!”“Can’t connect to the outside! All methods of communication have been cut off!”It’s over….Wu Su slumped into his chair with a pale face.This time…..it’s really over.Time passed little by little.But the massacre they were expecting never happened.Wu Su raised his head doubtfully. At this moment, a soft click sounded behind him.The lights above him turned on.…..Huh? Wait a minute?He immediately turned around and looked back at the employee who was still in the middle of retracting their hand after turning on the lights. That employee stammered: “T-the sun was gone and I saw that the room was a little dark so….”That’s strange.The power wasn’t cut off?Wu Su shot up from his chair and ran towards the window. The situation was chaotic outside but there were no signs of any fierce ghosts. Even the street lights were still on:“Contact the team in the city and ask them about the situation.”They soon received a response ----- Although it was still impossible to get out, there were no enemies and no casualties. Even all the communication devices in the city could still be used normally.Now the captain was really confused.What was going on? Were these clouds just here to keep them in the city this time?From outside, one could see terrifyingly dark clouds with hints of ominous scarlet light peeking through cover the entire city. Terrible screams belonging to humans could be heard coming from the city, making it seem as if the people inside were experiencing some form of horrific torture.Inside a house in the city.A young man stretched out his hand and turned up the volume.The TV before him was repeatedly playing the scene of the heroine screaming but the sound had been adjusted so that it was being played outside the city.The small black hand who had used this opportunity to come out and get some air: “……….”

Hey, isn’t this approach too perfunctory?!?Ye Jia glanced at the small black hand and then proceeded to throw the remote over, “Just in time.”The small black hand, “…...Huh?”“Find a few more horror films and play the screaming scenes at the same time.” Ye Jia ordered, “There must be changes in the rhythm and pace, make it dramatic.”The small black hand looked down at the remote control in its hand, “………”Damn, am I being used as cheap labour again?But….since it’s to save the humans…….The small black hand thought about it for a moment and finally decided to help the other party, albeit reluctantly.As it flipped through the films, it asked, “So, care to tell me why you’re doing this?”Ye Jia rested his chin in his hand and looked down at the notebook spread open in front of him: “Dragging things out.”This time, he was just imitating what happened last time in M City: Blocking off all forms of entry and exit from the city, cutting off all contact with the outside world and turning into a playground for the fierce ghosts to let loose.Only by doing this can they openly escape from Mother’s surveillance and control.And it also gave him time to continue deciphering the notebook ---- Intuition told him that the key to turn the situation around was most likely in this notebook.Ye Jia turned and looked at the gloomy sky outside.This time, he will once again placed his trust in Ji Xuan..In the outskirts of the city.Blast and Chen Qingye looked up at the dark sky before them. Both fell silent.“Um…..” Blast spoke up, “What’s going on?”Chen Qingye, “……..”He didn’t know the answer to this question either.The person who had been tied up into a ball next to them whimpered.“Settle down.” Blast rudely kicked him.The man fell onto the ground and squirmed about but was unable to stand back up, “Mnnnn!”Blast frowned, “What are we going to do with this director?”They had interrogated this person for a long time and had basically used every method imaginable, but the other party continued to keep his mouth shut. They were unable to get anything out of him.The best option was to bring him to Ye Jia but Ye Jia was in the ghost and monster infested M City at the moment and they weren’t sure if they would be able to quietly sneak in while bringing along such a large baggage.Can’t set him free and killing him would be a pity.The man was basically stuck with them.So they planned on bringing the director back to where the rest of the Bureau is and hide near the vicinity of M City, looking for an opportunity to go in and touch bases with Ace.But before they could enter the city, clouds appeared behind them, sealing it up.They knew what was going to happen next, but were completely helpless.Blast frowned anxiously:“What should we do?”He could hear the terrible screams coming from the clouds.Chen Qingye gritted his teeth and released A’Chang, “We can only fight. There are still many people in this city. We can’t just let them die in vain.”But A’Chang didn’t listen to its master’s orders after turning bigger and just turned back and hissed in a certain direction.The two of them immediately looked over.They saw a thin and indistinct ghost with blurry features appear behind them. From the strong aura it gave off, it was clearly a powerful fierce ghost.

…...Things were getting complicated.This thought flashed through both Blast’s and Chen Qingye’s mind.The director lying next to them whimpered as he tried to crawl towards the fierce ghost.Not good!Blast immediately charged towards that ghost ------ Now that the other party had seen that the director was in their hands, they had to kill this ghost to prevent it from reporting this news to Mother. The consequences would be unimaginable if they let it go.But that shadow ghost suddenly exclaimed, “Ahhh! It’s you two!”Blast’s actions stopped.The shadow ghost, “You two are A’Ye…I mean, Ace’s two lackeys, right?”Lackeys my ass!Blast’s eyelid twitched.Chen Qingye however stepped forward and asked cautiously while pushing up his glasses, “And you are?”“I’m King’s subordinate!” A’Me answered very enthusiastically, “Are you looking for A’Ye...I mean, Ace? Come, come, I’m also heading there to help pass on a message from King.”As it said that, it floated closer.Blast’s body instinctively tensed but the other party just brushed past him and lifted a corner of the wall that was covered in dark clouds, “You can just follow me!”Chen Qingye and Blast exchanged a look with each other.They dragged along the struggling director and followed the shadow ghost through the wall.There seemed to be some type of barrier around the other party that stopped the cloud from attacking it.The three of them walked on through this dense fog.Chen Qingye narrowed his eyes slightly and asked slowly:“By the way, why do you call Ace A’Ye? Don’t you ghosts care a lot about your rankings?”The ghost ahead suddenly stopped.The two behind it were surprised. They also quickly came to a stop to avoid running into the other party…..or going through the other party.They then saw the shadow ghost slowly turn back to look at them.As if it had finally found a chance to vent, it shouted with anger:“He’s a big liar!!!!”Chen Qingye, “……”Blast, “………”Looks like it is indeed the person they know.Did he also trick this ghost?Blast said gloatingly, “Come, come, let’s hear it!”Like it had finally found someone who understood it, A’Mi’s eyes welled up, “He…..he cheated my feelings!”Chen Qingye, “?”Blast, “?”Wait a minute…...This didn’t sound right.A’Mi also seemed to have realised how ambiguous those words were, “No, those words might not be accurate…..”Before the other two could breathe a sigh of relief, the ghost before them continued:“The one whose feelings he cheated was actually our King’s….”Chen Qingye, “???”Blast, “????????”Huhhhh???
