After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

Ji Xuan’s pupils instantly constricted the moment the other person’s lips touched his.There was a slightly cold sensation on his lips as the other person’s lips came into contact with his and the feeling was soft and slightly wet, like linen.A scorching hot feeling surged from the depths of his heart, roaring inside his chest and charging up his throat. A rusty taste filled the mouth, alongside a burning sensation.Agitation tore at his flesh and ignited his blood.So hot.So hungry.Much like a shark who had smelt blood in the water, Ji Xuan rushed in to chase after the kiss.In an instant, the sofa behind them was knocked over with a loud thud, sending the papers on the floor flying. They scattered around them like snowflakes.Ji Xuan’s hand held the back of the young man’s head to prevent the other person’s head from knocking into the ground.Pale and slender fingers sank into Ye Jia’s hair and the veins on the back of the hand bulged out from the force. He seemed to be wanting to grab the other person’s hair roughly but had managed to restrain this desire of his using the remaining reason he had left. He continued to struggle on the brink of madness and calmness.Biting and tearing, it was more like beasts attacking each other than a kiss.He stuck his tongue in with force and could taste the low whimper coming from the other party’s throat as well as the faint taste of metal. As if he was consuming the blood and flesh of his blood related relatives, he tasted it carefully like it was a delicacy.Ye Jia grabbed the other party’s throat with one hand.He forced Ji Xuan to move his lips away.The young man’s knuckles had turned white from the force. His eyes shone in the darkness and it flashed with ferocity, coldness and arrogance. With fire still burning in the depths of his eyes, he gripped the other person’s neck and said with emphasis:“Enough.”…..Enough.He should be patient.Just like every time before this, he should wait patiently for this person to lower down their walls and wait for a better opportunity to arise.He shouldn’t push it too far.Enough.Ji Xuan closed his eyes with difficulty. His chest rose and fell irregularly.Like a beast willing to stick their head into its shackles, he lowered his head and showed submission before the other party.Ji Xuan gritted his teeth and his eyes darkened.He exerted all his effort to restrain his instincts. Little by little, he raised his body and meekly stepped back.Ye Jia sat up.He brushed through his hair with his fingers, revealing his handsome and well-defined features as well as his slightly narrowed scarlet eyes that flashed a dangerous colour.The young man’s voice contained a hint of inadvertent laziness:“Can’t you do it properly?”Ji Xuan was stunned.“You only know how to use force?” Ye Jia leaned closer, his voice light, “Hm?”His icy fingers supported the other party’s chin and gently raised it. His scarlet eyes shone brightly in the darkness.The young man lowered his head. His messy hair fell forward, sweeping across the other party’s cheeks, bringing about a light ticklish sensation. He covered the other person’s lower lip with his and gently kissed it:“Close your eyes.”“Let me teach you.”.“Are you sure it’s here?”Blast asked uncertainly as he looked up at the building before him.Chen Qingye, “Yes.”He raised his hand and a cluster of small fluorescent insects flew out from his sleeves. The patterns on their backs changed slightly as they flew and they soon turned black and blended into the dark night.One minute passed.Five minutes passed.Ten minutes passed.Blast looked at Chen Qingye, “How much longer?”Chen Qingye narrowed his eyes, “Something isn’t right. They should be back by now.”Blast was startled, “Not good!”He immediately grabbed Chen Qingye and dragged him back. A barrage of bullets hit the place they were standing earlier. They could hear noises coming from inside the building. It appears the Bureau was preparing a counterattack.Blast was taken aback.Why was the security so tight here?“Alas.” Chen Qingye sighed and pulled his collar out of Blast’s grip, “I thought we could sneak in without alerting them.”Blast grinned, revealing his sharp canines:“Since it’s already like this, why don’t we make a scene?”A ball of fire rose from his palm.Blast cracked his neck and shoulders and just as he was about to charge over, Chen Qingye grabbed him:“Wait.”“What is it?” Blast was taken aback.A’Chang crawled out from inside Chen Qingye’s sleeve. It slowly crawled across the already withered grass and then returned a few minutes later and waved its arm about, as if trying to convey something.Chen Qingye lowered his eyes in thought.A few seconds later, he raised his head and looked at Blast, “Those weren’t bullets just now.”“What?” Blast was slightly taken aback.Chen Qingye, “A’Chang smelt props from the game.”“How could that be?” Blast murmured to himself.Suddenly, as if he realised something, his eyes widened and he looked back at Chen Qingye:“Ahhh! I know!”Chen Qingye was taken aback by this reaction of his, “What do you know?”Blast, “I probably forgot to mention it last time but Ace and I went out once and robbed an entire warehouse. There were many players in that warehouse as well as many ghosts and monsters. That warehouse was filled with items smuggled out from the game.”Chen Qingye, “Looks like this matter is strongly connected to that director.”“Yeah.” Blast clenched his fists in anger and even his red hair looked like it was burning with rage. He cursed, “Maybe Mother’s attack on the headquarters last time was also because of that shithead.”Chen Qingye, “Perhaps.”He pondered for a few seconds and looked up at Blast, “In that case, we should be prepared.”Blast, “Huh? Prepare for what?”Chen Qingye knocked on his head in frustration, “Are you stupid? Of course it’s to prepare ourselves for future confrontation with other players and game props.”“Oh…” Blast rubbed the top of his head that had just been hit and then suddenly thought of something, “Actually….it’s not like we don’t have any other options left.”“Huh?” Chen Qingye looked over.He then saw Blast chuckle mischievously. A bright ball of fire appeared at the tip of his finger, shining bright in the darkness.“This isn’t the first time I’ve done it.”.In the dark night, thick smoke rose from the ground and flames crackled fiercely. The air was dangerously hot.“Hurry!!! Fire!!!”“Put out the fire!!!”Noises sounded from the building not far ahead and the sound of panicked footsteps resounded in the deadly silent night.“W-wait a minute…..This fire can’t be put out!!!”“How come???”“Ahhhhh!!!! Run!!!”Chen Qingye took a deep breath and looked at Blast who was cackling loudly, “Good job.”“But of course.” Blast puffed up his chest and said proudly, “My fire isn’t something ordinary people can put out. Ace wouldn’t have chosen to take me along to raid the warehouse otherwise!”Chen Qingye, “……”For some reason, you seem very proud of that.He looked at the building in the distance.The fire that was burning out of control devoured the building in an instant. Wooden structures collapsed, walls cracked and metal beams melted and changed shape.Numerous people fled from the building, their figures particularly clear and conspicuous against the bright background.“There!” Chen Qingye pointed ahead.Blast was shocked, “Your eyesight is amazing. You can see them from this far away?”Chen Qingye, “…….”He sighed, “That person is the only one who is being protected by the people from the Combat Division. Use your head a little.”Under their escort, the director was evacuated out.He didn’t look very young but his large build and the wrinkles on his face showing the passage of time gave him a calm and firm air.A guard next to him exclaimed, “Director, your clothes----”The director looked behind him. A corner of his shirt had caught on fire. The people around him were doing their best to put it out but it continued to burn so he had no choice but to take his coat off and throw it away.That coat was quickly swallowed up by the fire but the grass below it showed no signs of damage.The director was taken aback.He raised his head and looked at the scene before him. Numerous people scrambled out of the burning building but the trees that were close to it were unharmed and no one appeared injured.His eyes suddenly widened.Not good!This fire wasn’t an accident. It was something controlled by someone, just like those insects just now!The director’s expression was bad. He looked at the people behind him and ordered fiercely, “Hurr-----”But before he could finish speaking, he saw the expressions of the people before him turn pale and fearful.A dark shadow covered him.The director froze.Very slowly, he turned around and looked behind him.A giant centipede that stretched several metres long had at some unknown point in time appeared behind him. The numerous eyeballs on its body rolled around, making the people present tremble in fear.“Kill it!!!” The director slowly backed away. His voice cracked slightly, “Kill that disgusting insect!!!”But terrible screams sounded behind him.He looked back in panic only to see the members of the Combat Division accompanying him all covered in insects of various sizes.“Ahhhhhhh!!!! Help!!!! Help me!!!!”The director swallowed nervously and slowly backed away, but before he could take more than a few steps he heard a man’s calm voice:“What did you say?”Chen Qingye walked over while pushing up his glasses. The light from the fire reflected against his glasses, hiding the look in his eyes, “Disgusting?”Blast gloated at his misfortune from the sidelines.Isn’t that the same as calling a child ugly right in front of their mother?Looks like he’s going to suffer a little now..“Burnt down?”A woman with elegant features walked out from the masses of flesh. Her pale limbs were still stained with fresh blood, looking quite ghastly.“Y-yes.” The fierce ghost before her trembled terribly.“Can they still be contacted?”As Mother asked this, she lightly raised her hand.A bunch of fleshy tentacles appeared from the ground and charged at lightning speed at the panic-stricken human trying to escape. They immediately wrapped around that human.That human cried out in agony.He was raised into the air and immediately afterwards, the tentacles binding him suddenly exerted more force.Following the sound of something tearing, the man was torn apart from the centre. Internal organs fell onto the ground with a splatter and it was soon followed by severed limbs and a large amount of blood.Like garbage, a severed head that still carried a terrified expression was thrown away.There was already a large pile of heads gathered in that area.Those belonging to humans, monsters and even ghosts, they were all gathered there. The ones at the bottom had already started to rot while the ones at the top were still fresh. All of them carried expressions of fear and agony on their faces.Due to the thick smell of blood and yin energy in the air, even a fierce ghost’s body couldn’t disappear after their death.There was a huge pool of blood where the internal organs fell. The limbs and internal organs there had half dissolved and turned into an almost liquid state.The woman raised her hand and gently wiped off the bloodstains from her face with her finger.She opened her mouth and a tongue that didn’t look human stretched out and brought that blood into her mouth.The fierce ghost before her trembled:“N-no.”Mother stepped forward, bent down and rubbed the other party’s irregular head with her hand that was still covered in blood:“Child, you love me, don’t you?”The fierce ghost nodded fearfully.“Then, you’re willing to do anything for me, yes?”The fierce ghost’s body was trembling terribly. Every eye on its body shook and it instinctively wanted to escape but it had no control over its body.It slowly and stiffly nodded.The gentle smile on the woman’s face grew larger, “Good child.”The next second, countless fleshy tentacles appeared behind her, piercing through the ghost. While it screamed in pain, it was torn apart from the centre and its head was twisted off and tossed aside. All the usable parts of its body were thrown into the sticky pool of blood which had turned darker than before.The place was deadly silent again.Mother raised her head and beckoned in the distance.Another fierce ghost fearfully knelt before her, “P-please give me your orders.”Its jelly-like body trembled as all four or five of its faces stared fearfully at the ground. It was afraid that it would end up in the same state as the ghost from earlier if it looked up.“How is the situation with the underground springs?” Mother walked over to the edge of the pool and used her feet to gently push in a limb that wasn’t completely submerged.“I-it has already reached the amount required.”The woman nodded and instructed with a gentle voice, “Get them all directed into this pool.”She narrowed her eyes slightly, “As for the Bureau…..You will be responsible for maintaining contact with them.”The fierce ghost lowered its body. It’s jelly-like body rippled as it shook and its teeth chattered:“Ye….yes!”Mother lowered her eyes and looked towards the pile of bodies:“You wouldn’t want to be like them, do you?”The fierce ghost bowed its head even lower, “I-I understand.”“Go.”The jelly-like body disappeared.Mother turned back to look at the dark red pool behind her and narrowed her eyes slightly.She is currently unable to determine the origins of that fire nor the location of the other party.But….in any case, everything needs to continue as planned.Mother smiled lightly. A large mass moved about underground, causing the ground to crack open. Scarlet, fleshy tentacles slowly squirmed about underground, looking as if they were slowly consuming all the life in this place.The sky above was still covered in dark clouds and filled with ghost energy. Like a monster with consciousness, the dark clouds took over the originally blue sky, turning it eternally dark.Beneath the shadows, crazed laughter belonging to fierce ghosts resonated.Mother licked off the remaining blood from her fingers as she thought nonchalantly.Perhaps….her children can do one more thing for her before they return to become a part of her..In a dark room, papers filled with writing were scattered across the ground. Some were wrinkled, looking like dried autumn leaves.Ye Jia loosened his grip on the other person’s face.He wanted to retreat but his collar was grabbed by the other party who conversely pulled him even closer.Ji Xuan’s eyes were half narrowed. The scarlet eyes that were hidden under his thick eyelashes contained strong desire, as if he wanted to devour the other party.But his actions were extremely gentle.----Ji Xuan…..learnt things too quickly.This fleeting thought flew across Ye Jia’s chaotic mind.The other party had mastered all the actions and details very quickly and was even able to raise it by several levels. As Ji Xuan lightly bit his lower lip, Ye Jia felt as if he was kissing a beast.…...Not good.The hands pressed against Ji Xuan’s shoulders slowly tightened, wrinkling the other party’s clothes.Very soon, Ye Jia felt himself losing his strength. As if all the bones in him had been pulled out, he felt as if he was stepping on cotton.Looks like they had gone a bit too far this time.He thought this.Perhaps it was because he was a fierce ghost, his rational side had become a lot weaker than when he was human and he found himself more easily overwhelmed by his instincts and desire ----Just like when he took the initiative just now.And now, Ye Jia was beginning to regret his actions.He pushed against the other person’s shoulders and said with difficulty:“….E-enough.”But his words were quickly swallowed up by the other party.While one party tried to retreat, the other party continued to chase after him. He slyly kissed the young man’s lips that had turned red, preventing him from finishing his words. His arms around Ye Jia’s waist tightened like an icy cold snake, closing the gap between the two.Ye Jia’s mind was a mess but he could instinctively sense danger lurking under the still water.He hurriedly backed away but ended up stumbling over the overturned sofa.With this stumble, Ye Jia was able to break free from the other person’s grip.The young man’s scarlet eyes were a little misty. There were some blood stains on his tightly pursed lips and his pale skin was dyed a light pink colour.His voice was slightly hoarse. Although he had deliberately spoken in a cold tone, it wasn’t imposing enough:“Have you had enough?”Ji Xuan raised his eyes, his gaze falling onto the other party’s face. He greedily took in all the subtle changes on the other person’s face.His voice was low and hoarse:“Gege, did I do well?”Ye Jia found himself unable to say anything in response to that. His ears were instantly dyed a bright red colour. For a while, he didn’t know how to answer him.A long time later, he forced out a single word:“Scram.”Ji Xuan not only didn’t leave, he even moved closer.He once again wrapped his hand around the other person’s waist. Through Ye Jia’s shirt, he could feel the smooth and firm waistline underneath.Ji Xuan leaned over and said coquettishly with a smile on his lips:“Gege, teach me some more.”His hand slipped under the other person’s shirt:“------I’ll be a good student.”
