After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

After leaving through the door, the Ji Xuan in his arms disappeared just like the others earlier.The fearsome female ghost roared loudly and charged towards Ye Jia.Ye Jia however was already prepared for this. He easily rolled sideways to avoid the opponent’s attack.He narrowed his eyes slightly.Although he couldn’t see the other party clearly, Ye Jia could clearly sense that their power and speed was now a lot weaker. It felt almost as if….it was forced.Ye Jia avoided the other party’s sharp nails and then, with the right timing, he rushed towards the final door.That female ghost continued to roar behind him before her cries were blocked by the heavy door.The last door belonged to Wei Yuechu.As soon as he entered this space, Ye Jia realised that something wasn’t right.Compared to the other worlds behind the doors, the world before him appeared to be incomplete. The buildings, sky and ground were all covered with pitch-black holes. Like a burning paper, charred holes slowly spread out, sending cars and streetlights on the roads to fall into the bottomless abyss.Ye Jia walked along the road.On one side of the road was a giant pit that was filled with insects of all sorts of colours and sizes that slowly moved to form the outer walls of a building.The other side of the road was a row of strange looking buildings that looked like they had all their colours and sounds extracted, leaving only black and white and pure silence.The buildings overlapped irregularly, like a strangely stitched together nightmare.It was as if the walls between all those doors had become thin and fragile, eventually collapsing from the pressure, resulting in the different worlds behind the doors mixing together.From one of the crevices in the ground, a terrible roar could be heard.Alongside a bright light, a scythe appeared in Ye Jia’s hand.In the earlier doors, he had killed numerous monsters and had even killed his imposter, but he hadn’t felt that sensation of himself eating something when he did it, so it meant that those things were likely not a true entity, and it didn’t matter much even if they were killed by his scythe.He cut down several monsters that were charging towards him --- They seemed to have escaped from behind Wu Su’s door and have taken over every inch of this nightmare.Ye Jia however didn’t see any traces of Ji Xuan’s world.He took out the Omniscient Eye from his pocket.Since leaving the last door, it hadn’t made any noise. It seemed that without the energy from the two fierce ghosts fighting against each other, it had also lost the ability to maintain consciousness.Ye Jia couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.Although his stone had helped him out a lot, it was too talkative, and it didn’t know when to stop talking.He raised the Omniscient Eye and slowly scanned the world around him through the hole in the pale, green stone.But unexpectedly, even after looking around everywhere, the spot of light that indicated the location of a human soul couldn’t be found.Ye Jia raised his brows in surprise and removed the stone from before his eye.At this moment, a strong gust of wind rushed over from behind and together with it was the sound of metal clanging and the roar of a chainsaw. It mercilessly slashed at Ye Jia.He reflexively turned to block it.“Clang!”The loud clash of metal against metal reverberated through the deathly silent street. A large chainsaw pressed heavily down onto the scythe, the blades turning non-stop. The scythe’s thin, crescent shaped blade looked particularly fragile in comparison.Sparks scattered, reflecting in the young woman’s eyes that were filled with killing intent.The ground under Ye Jia cracked from the overwhelming force, the fine lines spreading out like a spider web.The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly.The next moment, the scythe in his hand turned slightly, and he managed to flexibly move outside of the opponent’s attacking range.With a loud crash, the huge chainsaw smashed heavily onto the ground.In that instant, broken debris scattered everywhere.“Heh……” Wei Yuechu’s pale cheeks were left with faint bloodstains from the scattering debris, but she paid it no heed. She just snorted contemptuously and looked coldly at the young man standing before here, “Another Ace…..”Her gaze fell onto Ye Jia’s face and her pupils immediately constricted as her expression changed into a look of surprise.“You……”Wei Yuechu’s gaze moved from Ye Jia’s face to the scythe in his hand and her expression became even more rigid and confused, as if she was starting to question everything.“Looks like you also ran into those imposters.” Ye Jia said.----And it seems to be not just one.Wei Yuechu seemed to have realised something. Her eyes widened and she gasped and raised her finger to point at the other party, “No….No way?!”Ye Jia was about to nod his head.But the next moment, the young woman standing opposite him muttered with a confused expression, “Could my biggest fear actually be this….??”Her male god and the handsome guy in the company who is already taken being the same person?Just the thought of it scares her!Ye Jia: “…….”“Anyway……” Wei Yuechu quickly regained her composure, picked up her still roaring chainsaw, and said with determination, “I should just cut him down first.”Ye Jia sucked in a breath and suddenly had the urge to facepalm.Wei Yuechu’s attack style was fierce and dominating, almost like that of a madman. If he was an ordinary person, he would have probably already been overwhelmed by the non-stop offensive attacks.Ye Jia only defended and didn’t attack. He only evaded her attacks.He seemed to be able to avoid it every time and it was also surprisingly done with great ease. Wei Yuechu on the other hand seemed to grow more and more agitated with each attack and every time her attacks missed her target, her impatience grew.Ye Jia took advantage of this opening.The crescent shaped scythe in his hand drew a perfect arc in the air and then proceeded to knock the chainsaw out of the other party’s hand.The chainsaw which was still roaring loudly was immediately thrown several meters away, embedding deeply into the ground. That chainsaw hummed with difficulty for several more seconds before finally stopping and falling silent.Ye Jia pressed the young woman against the ground, preventing her from being able to move, and held his scythe against her neck. As long as he moved it slightly, her thin neck would be cut off, sending bright red blood pouring out onto the ground.“Old man!” Wei Yuechu struggled, “Let me go!”Ye Jia expressionlessly raised a brow, “You still haven’t figure it out yet?”Wei Yuechu’s act of struggling stopped, “What?”Ye Jia, “Then I’ll give you another two minutes.”“What are you talk….” Wei Yuechu reflexively retorted but the next moment she seemed to have realised something and swallowed her unfinished words. Her eyes slowly widened in shock as she stared at the young man and stammered, “W-wait a minute….”The young man before her was still wearing the same clothes he wore when they were dragged into this ghost domain. He was still as handsome as before but the languid air around him was gone and his indifferent expression appeared rather threatening, like an unsheathed blade glistening a cold light --- Moreover, that weapon he was holding and his manner of only defending and not attacking, and him being able to restrain her with ease….The answer was obvious.“You…..y-y-you…..”Ye Jia smiled faintly, “Thank you for the compliment…..”Wei Yuechu, “……..”What compliment?Ye Jia released Wei Yuechu and stood up.He dusted himself off and reached out to Wei Yuechi who was still lying on the ground, staring up at the sky and doubting life, “Need help?”“Of course not!” Wei Yuechu quickly returned to her senses and hurriedly got up.She silently stared at Ye Jia for a moment before slowly speaking up, “S-so…..It has always been you?”Ye Jia easily got rid of a few monsters charging their way and nonchalantly nodded.Wei Yuechu’s face flushed red, “T-t-then…..”She recalled everything she had said to the other party back at the warehouse, including the remarks about the other party possessing looks that suited her tastes.Wei Yuechu internally groaned and proceeded to lower her head and hide her face in her hands, wishing to end her life right then and there.Ye Jia glanced at her and wisely decided not to mention that he had also heard the other party’s proclamation of her intent to confess to him.He raised the Omniscient Eye and scanned the world.With the passage of time, the world before them had almost completely disintegrated. The ground under their feet had broken away from the surroundings and they were at this moment drifting towards the empty darkness ahead. The door that was originally nearby was now just a small glimmer of light above their heads.Ye Jia returned the Omniscient Eye to his pocket and turned to Wei Yuechu, “Let’s go….”Wei Yuechu forcefully extracted herself from her shameful memories and picked up the chainsaw which had fallen not far away from them before following Ye Jia and leaping towards the land that was getting further and further away from them.Scattered remnants floated along the emptiness, the larger ones including things like entire buildings and the smaller ones including things like cars or even blocks of stone.The pitch-black holes seemed to be rapidly expanding, swallowing everything up.Wei Yuechu became more and more fearful as they moved on ahead.She asked, “What’s happening?”She no longer remembered how long she had been in here. She knew very well that she was caught by a fierce ghost who could create a world based on her fears, but she was unable to resist it despite this as that fear seemed to arise from the depths of her soul. But suddenly, one day, the fear that tormented her seemed to have weakened somewhat and, instead, more things that she was not familiar with had appeared in this world instead.After fighting against some of the monsters, including several fake Ace’s, Wei Yuechu finally felt that she had returned to what she was most comfortable with.She started to hunt down all the monsters in this world in her endeavour to find the exit and she eventually ran into Ye Jia.-----That is, the real Ace.“It’s about to collapse….” Ye Jia answered without looking back, “So I suggest you hurry up.”Wei Yuechu, “……..”You think I couldn’t already tell?!She suddenly remembered something and called out at Ye Jia in front of her, “Oh right…”“Cough….” The young woman’s face turned red. Although the volume of her voice didn’t decrease, it carried a trace of shyness, “Um, so that beauty who came to the warehouse last time, she was your girlfriend, right?”Ye Jia staggered.No one knew better than him who exactly that beauty was.Like he had swallowed a fly, his expression was scrunched up.Wei Yuechu leapt a few times and caught up.“N….” Ye Jia turned and glanced at the young woman beside him. As soon as his eyes saw the other party’s expectant look, the denial he had wanted to say changed course, “Naturally….”There was obvious disappointment on Wei Yuechu’s face.Ye Jia looked away and quickened his pace.With his back to her, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.Compared to directly rejecting the other party, giving the other party unrealistic expectations and hope is the most vicious and cruel thing one can do.“Is that so….” Wei Yuechu was disappointed.Looks like she was too late.But Wei Yuechu soon cheered herself up again --- Since she can’t be his girlfriend, being a good buddy is also not a bad idea!She quickened her pace and moved ahead side by side with Ye Jia, “Hey, by the way, does your girlfriend know your identity?”Ye Jia, “……..”And now you’re starting to gossip?!He braced himself and answered, “I-I guess.”“What do you mean I guess?!” The young woman frowned and exclaimed, “Yes is yes and no is no!”She cleared her throat and passionately shared her relationship experience with Ye Jia, “I understand that there are some things people want to hide in order to protect their family and loved ones and they try to carry everything on their own shoulders, but trust me, a woman’s sixth sense is very accurate. Instead of letting her be shocked and scared, you should be honest and sincere. Don’t be afraid to tell them your true feelings…”Ye Jia felt his headache coming back again.He answered emotionlessly, “Thank you for your suggestion.”“No need, no need.” Wei Yuechu who felt that she was performing a good deed nodded quite contentedly, “Just remember to give me some wedding candy when you get married in the future!”Ye Jia: “……….”You’re really open minded.Wei Yuechu leaned closer and nudged Ye Jia’s arm with her elbow. Her expression was a little mischievous, “Hey, you should fasten your collar properly.”----Despite being so young, you sure play hard.Ye Jia was stunned for a moment. Following the other person’s line of sight, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch.The bite mark on his collarbone was still faintly throbbing in pain.Because he was immediately attacked by the female ghost after leaving through the earlier door, he had forgotten to fix up his collar.Ye Jia’s face flushed red.He cleared his throat and hurriedly buttoned his shirt up all the way to the top button, “Th-thanks.”Seeing the young man’s hasty actions as well as his red ears, Wei Yuechu’s heart trembled slightly. A door to a new world seemed to have quietly opened before her.Was this a love story between a gorgeous and possessive big sister, and a pure and ascetic little brother?H-how tasty.After killing the insects and monsters that were trying to stop them, the two reached the door.“So do the others know of your true identity?” Wei Yuechu asked.Ye Jia’s expression didn’t change, “No……”“What? I’m the only one who knows?” Wei Yuechu was flattered. She patted her chest and assured Ye Jia, “Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.”Ye Jia’s eyes wandered for a moment.Then, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, “By the way, can I borrow your weapon?”Wei Yuechu nodded and gave Ye Jia her chainsaw. The weight of the chainsaw made Ye Jia’s arms sink down.She didn’t ask Ye Jia why and just smiled, “Don’t break it.”After saying that, the young woman turned and went through the door.Ye Jia assessed the weight of the chainsaw and similarly followed after her.The moment he crossed through the door, he instinctively raised his guard and got ready for the female ghost to attack as soon as he came back.----But unexpectedly, nothing happened.Ye Jia was slightly surprised by this. He looked around at the empty room around him.Dark green wall papers, dirty carpet, and the old banquet hall.Ye Jia raised the Omniscient Eye.The hair that was spread across the entire room was gone, revealing its true appearance. The mouldy, dark green wallpapers were peeling off from the walls and there were dark stains splattered across them along with internal organs scattered across the carpet. The entire room looked like a gruesome crime scene.On the wall behind the main seat, the sixth door slowly opened, revealing its dark interior.Ye Jia placed the stone back into his pocket and approached the last door with the chainsaw in his hand.Unexpectedly, there was actually a corridor before him.It was the one he had walked through earlier.But what he saw now was what he saw through the Omniscient Eye earlier.----Dark, sticky spots, blurry handprints, rotten pieces of flesh scattered messily throughout the corridor and messy bloodstains.Ye Jia turned and looked behind him.The door behind him was gone. Replacing it was a seemingly endless dark corridor.Heavy breathing could be heard from ahead. Like a broken soundbox, it lowly sounded in the dark and silent corridor.Ye Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and began walking.He once again arrived at the banquet hall.As soon as he pushed open the door, an unpleasant stench rushed out. It smelt like something rotten.A cold and creepy sensation instantly enveloped him. The air was filled with thick yin energy.The light overhead was dim. A shattered chandelier swayed about, barely illuminating the room.The banquet table had been smashed into smithereens with wood debris scattered across the carpet. It looked like a scuffle had just occurred in this place.The female ghost sat at the end of the room. This time, she could be seen directly with Ye Jia’s naked eyes --- Bloodshot eyes and deathly pale skin, she stared fixatedly at the young man before her. Her pitch-black hair squirmed crazily about on the ground, looking extremely terrifying. The top part of her body was of a strange dark colour, as if she was corroding.A low growl rumbled out from the depths of the female ghost’s throat. Her limbs shuddered uncontrollably as she tried to attack but she was fortunately in a state where she couldn’t move.The roar of the chainsaw echoed in the empty hall.---- The biggest reason why Wei Yuechu liked to use a chainsaw was because it inflicted the most damage on monsters and it was also the easiest weapon for one to create a grotesque scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.But Ye Jia didn’t have this kind of hobby.He preferred getting things over and done with quickly.A light kiss from his scythe against the opponent’s neck thus ending the entire fight --- Quick, simple and efficient.Although his weapon had changed this time, Ye Jia was still determined to do it his way.The rapidly moving chains tore through the flesh and cut straight through the bones.That female ghost’s head fell to the ground with a thud as blood splattered across the entire wall behind her.Ye Jia, “……..”Sure enough, a chainsaw didn’t suit him.The room around him began to collapse. Ye Jia turned to walk out, but before he could take more than a few steps, he heard a particularly strange sound behind him.It almost sounded like…..The rustling of limbs across the ground.Ye Jia was slightly startled. He turned and looked back.The body of the female ghost who should now be completely dead was slowly crawling across the ground. That headless body crawled towards Ye Jia little by little.Impossible……Although Wei Yuechu’s weapon wasn’t as invincible of a weapon as his scythe, it was a weapon that had been strengthened using a player’s yin energy. After all, that was the only way for one to be able to inflict damage on the fierce ghost’s soul. After their head is cut off, it’s almost impossible for something like this to happen….Unless-----The deathly pale corpse before him slowly straightened up. A scarlet pattern appeared on their chest, and the next moment, their skin began to peel off.Underneath all those bones, what should have been a heart wasn’t a heart but instead…….---It was a small ball of flesh about the size of a ping-pong ball. The scarlet surface was uneven and the scarlet fluid slowly oozed out from it.Not good!Ye Jia’e heart shook.But he no longer seemed to have control over his body. It involuntarily approached that ball of flesh.It was as if his sane and rational mind had been locked inside a cage.At this moment, the hair on the female ghost’s head which had fallen to the side wriggled towards Ye Jia’s legs ----- They then grabbed his ankle and dragged him in the opposite direction.Ye Jia was slightly surprised by this.Some vague memories surfaced to his mind.In a pitch-black hall, a fist sized ball of flesh constantly dripped some unknown liquid. Behind him was the roar of monsters as they rampaged through the city. Something on his shoulder seemed to be trying to pull him back but it was to no avail and he continued to approach that ball of flesh, even slowly stretching his hand out…The next moment, a man’s cold touch could be felt from his wrist.A low voice then sounded next to his ears ----- “Shhh…….”“Don’t look…..”In that instant, Ye Jia gritted his teeth, once again regaining control of his body.He gripped tightly onto the chainsaw and charged forward, swinging it such that the sharp chains slashed through the female ghost’s chest in one fell swoop, stabbing into that ball of flesh.A shrill scream sounded, almost rendering him deaf.The walls, the ground, everything trembled alongside that terrible cry, like fallen leaves rustled by a strong gust of wind.Ye Jia held onto the handle of the chainsaw tightly and violently flicked the switch ---- The chainsaw roared, the running blades almost instantly crushing the ball of flesh into pulp.That scream abruptly came to a stop.Ye Jia gasped heavily, his palms wet with sweat.He let go of his weapon and slowly took a few steps back. He was very drained.So that was why Ji Xuan didn’t want him to face that female ghost head-on.And that was why she was so tough to deal with ---- There was a part of Mother in her.But….Ye Jia turned and looked back at the severed head sitting in the corner of the room.He frowned slightly.Just now, when his body was drawn to that part of Mother, that head seemed to be….preventing him from approaching?Why?He slowly stepped forward, bent down and proceeded to brush away the hair that was covering the other person’s face.A terrible and grotesque face was revealed before Ye Jia.Countless eyes covered that face. Horizontally and vertically arranged, they looked particularly terrifying.She wasn’t completely dead yet.Those numerous eyes followed the movements of the other person’s hand before finally stopping on Ye Jia’s face.Ye Jia looked down at her, seemingly unaffected by her ugly appearance. Instead, he calmly reached out and lightly touched the other party’s cheek with the tip of his finger.Those eyes slowly disappeared like an illusion.That woman’s face was now revealed. Although the features were all rather ordinary, she could still be regarded as someone with good looks.She looked at Ye Jia with her grey and cloudy eyes and her pale lips slowly moved, finally uttering out two words with great difficulty, “Thank…you….”After that, she died.Ye Jia stared at the other’s face, slightly stunned.He….recognised this person.Vision. Ranked third on the leaderboard.Ability: Clairvoyance.
