After an Infinite Flow Player Retires Chapter 8

Liu Zhaocheng: "……Huh?"

"A-Although I fell asleep, I still have work in my heart." Ye Jie bit the bullet and bullshitted, "As a public servant, I should dedicate my life to work and serve the people….."

At this mont, Zhao Dong hurried over from behind, interrupting their conversation.

He panted and reported to Liu Zhaocheng: "Boss, we're ready."

Liu Zhaocheng's attention was successfully diverted by the other party.

He frowned, "The preparations are over? The Combat Division is about to enter already?"

"It's just a C-level mission after all. It's normal." Zhao Dong looked down at the file in his hands, "Oh yes, the Combat Division said that they still need soone from our departnt to go and collect data for research."

Liu Zhaocheng seed to have rembered that there was still a giant living person standing next to him.

He turned and looked at Ye Jia who was still wearing a patient gown.

"Didn't you say that you want to dedicate your life to work and serve the people?" Liu Zhaocheng ordered with a cold expression, "Get changed and go."

Ye Jia: "…….."

Fuck.

He had lifted a rock and smashed his own foot with it.

His face was filled with resistance, "But…..I'm still on sick leave……"

But Liu Zhaocheng was ruthless, "We are recently short in manpower. The newcor has fallen, and Zhao Dong and the others have to check the data fluctuations outside. There's no one else apart from you to go."

—- Although he indeed planned to go in, he didn't want to go in with those combat personnel who could get in his way!

Ye Jia tried to struggle, "Bu….."

Liu Zhaocheng, "I will pay you overti tonight."

He gritted his teeth and reluctantly added, "And this month you will get a performance bonus."

Ye Jia: "!"

His spirits were raised instantly, and he asked sincerely, "Where do I change?"

Zhao Dong who was watching the entire thing: ……There's no need to be so realistic.

.

Twenty minutes later, five combat personnel and one logistic staff were ready to set off.

Ye Jia turned to look at the combat personnel next to him and asked, "By the way, what mission are you doing at this school tonight?"

"It's nothing much. It's just that, on one of the floors, five students over the past two days were pulled into a nightmare and there is one who is still unconscious. I'm guessing that it's a wandering soul at most……." After saying that, the personnel glanced at him with surprise, "But I have to say, although the mission is quite simple, you ca here without knowing anything?"

"Last minute arrangent." Ye Jia shrugged helplessly, "Had to fill in the numbers."

That personnel nodded sympathetically, "Haa, too."

He pointed at the symbol "Combat Division F-Level mber" on his uniform: "Everyone else is tied up with the skinning case and there was no one left so I was sent here."

"Zhao Guangcheng. And you?" He stretched out a hand to Ye Jia.

"Ye Jia."

The two shook hands briefly and then Zhou Guangcheng proudly patted Ye Jia on the shoulder, "Don't worry, buddy. You don't need to worry at all! After entering, I will protect you. Nothing will happen!"

Ye Jia smiled faintly. His pale skin seed to glow in the night and the gaze from his half-lidded light amber eyes looked very sincere, "Thank you, buddy."

Without the noisy sounds of students playing, the campus at night seed too quiet.

Upon entering the teaching building, the light sources at the entrance of the school were gone. It was like they had entered another space. Deep in the night, only faint cold light above illuminated the empty corridor ahead.

The team went straight to the floor where the incident occurred; the third floor.

Ye Jia stood at the back of the team, maintaining a distance that wasn't too close or too far. He calmly surveyed the corridor ahead.

Since he had already co in, it was best for him to covertly deal with the Sucker before the people from the Combat Division noticed.

After all, right now, only he knew of the Sucker's specific hiding place and he had long been accustod to dealing with this creature, so it wasn't a big challenge for him.

Once everything was dealt with, he would make the small black hand show up again and then let the combat personnel think that they've eliminated the threat so that they could announce that the task was complete. It was the best of both worlds and everyone would be happy.

The small black hand who was unaware that it would be forced to take the bla again, "Achoo!"

Why did it suddenly feel a sense of danger?

It looked around in confusion and then shrank under Ye Jia's collar —- Probably just its imagination.

At this mont, the team leader who was walking at the forefront stopped.

He took out a small ball from the bag around his waist and clamped it between his fingers.

Ye Jia suddenly had a bad feeling.

He asked, "What is that?"

He had asked really abruptly, causing the others in the team to turn their heads to look at him.

The leader frowned impatiently, "This is the latest device made by the bureau. It can force out wandering ghosts so that you don't need to search every room one by one with a detector and will allow us to go ho early to sleep."

A big alarm went off in Ye Jia's mind.

"Wa…….."

The leader glanced at him impatiently.

What can a re logistics worker know?

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he crushed the small ball into dust.

"Beepbeepbeepbeepbeep—–!!!"

A harsh siren sounded inside a surveillance car waiting at the entrance of the school. Zhao Dong imdiately stood up and stared at the large patch of red on the screen in shock.

He took a few steps back in horror and didn't even notice the chair behind him falling to the ground.

The other monitor screens were exactly the sa.

The yin energy tre soared, directly busting the sensor within just a few seconds!

Zhao Dong could hardly believe his eyes.

What——What was going on?

He had been involved with off-side data monitoring for almost seven years, but he had never seen such a situation….

An incident that could be resolved by a small team had unexpectedly changed into an extrely devastating disaster only monts after their personnel entered!

Inside the teaching building.

As the smoke dissipated, Ye Jia slowly opened his eyes.

Compared to just now, the current scene before him was completely different.

The darkness around him was like a living creature, completely engulfing the entire corridor. The cold and dim light above their heads flashed with difficulty but could only barely illuminate a small area.

The dark nerves and blood vessels clinging along the blue-green walls pounded and gurgled as sticky mucus flowed out. It gave off a rotten stench.

Ye Jia silently sighed.

In addition to being difficult to find, another reason why a Sucker was difficult to deal with was because it would instinctively create a temporary ghost domain when stimulated by sothing from the outside world.

Although it was only C-Level, this kind of temporary domain could reach A-Level or higher.

And the entire environnt was under the complete control of the creator. Once inside, nine out of ten would die.

Only Ye Jia stood alone in the corridor. The other teammates originally beside him had disappeared.

Since those combat personnel were too weak, it was very likely that they had been taken away as food reserves the mont the domain was activated. They however shouldn't be in much danger. Based on the eating habits of Suckers, their chance of survival was still very high.

It was just that he didn't know where they had been taken to.

Ye Jia looked around at the hostile environnt which had clearly noticed his existence. He couldn't help but sigh again.

—– He really needs a pay raise.

In front of the teaching building.

"What happened?" Liu Zhaocheng hurriedly rushed into the car with fine beads of sweat over his bald head.

When he saw the numbers on the screen, even as a head chief who had gone through all sorts of situations, he couldn't help but be shocked, "This…….."

Zhao Dong's face was very pale. He shook his head silently.

Through the car window, they could see a dark haze envelop the entire teaching building, exuding an eerie and ominous air. They were like invisible tentacles slowly spreading in the air, maliciously mocking the humans before it.

"Quick….Go and call for support!" Liu Zhaocheng's voice was hoarse and hardly audible, "A-Level ergency! Quick!"

.

The corridor was dark and cold, and the floors and walls were bent at strange angles. It continued to gurgle and ooze out foul-slling mucous.

The young man walked through it unhurriedly.

The small black hand shrank under Ye Jia's collar and warned in a low voice, "……Sothing is watching us."

In the corner of their eyes, a dark eye suddenly appeared on the wall and it quickly disappeared again, as if a crack had closed up.

Ye Jia calmly continued on, "Of course."

"Suckers have always been cautious. When they find that they cannot control the other party, they wouldn't dare act rashly." Ye Jia explained slowly, "After patiently observing, they would plan out a wave of attacks to test the other party's strength….."

As soon as he finished saying that, several sticky tentacles suddenly stretched out from the wall in front of him and flew straight at Ye Jia.

Ye Jia raised his head lightly. As the reflection of the dark tentacles grew bigger and bigger in his light-coloured eyes, his expression was still completely calm.

He narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed between his fingers.

The next second, very silently, those nacing tentacles broken into several smaller chunks right in front of him and fell to the ground before lting into the floor like raindrops landing on the ground.

"…..Just like this."

Ye Jia concluded.

The yin energy in the air was so thick it could almost condense into a physical entity. Even just the act of touching it would result in irreversible damage. Spirits which have been tainted by the dark energy appeared from around the corners of the corridor. They rushed towards Ye Jia, baring their teeth and claws. At the sa ti, countless pitch-black tentacles covered in corrosive liquid would from ti to ti throw out sneak attacks, trying to find an opportunity to swallow up the human who had ignorantly strayed into its domain.

The young man however was completely unperturbed. He continued advancing forward towards the place Sun Jiale had ntioned without a change in his speed.

As he approached, the attacks beca more and more frequent and more and more anxious, as if it wanted to stop him from getting closer.

While Ye Jia dealt with the increasingly malicious environnt around him, he still had the ti to complain to the small black hand: "Speaking of which, the reason why others were so disgusted by them in the ga was because it could control all similar levelled fierce ghosts that have been pulled into its domain and use them to deal with the players."

The ladies bathroom was just ahead.

The door and the walls in the bathroom were covered with thick, viscous dark liquid. Countless bulging blood vessels pulsated in the walls, as if it was a monster's beating heart.

Ye Jia smoothly repulsed a ghost wearing an old-style school uniform and then kicked open the bathroom door. At the sa ti, he didn't forget to say lazily, "—-But in the real world, although the ghost domain was created, the nearby ghosts are just harmless wandering spirits…."

Ye Jia sighed pretentiously, "Haa, what a pity."

The Sucker seed to be angered by his words. A high frequency mutter could be heard and the room, the floor and even the entire building seed to have started to tremble.

The walls had co alive.

Using its own reinforced concrete fingers, the entire building moved to crush the tiny human inside it.

Even for Ye Jia, this was sowhat difficult to deal with.

Suddenly, a pitch-black tentacle as thick as a waist suddenly flew out from one of the toilets in the lady's bathroom, attacking Ye Jia at a speed as fast as lightning—!

The small black hand scread out, "Careful——"

Viscous, foul-slling liquid dripped from the ceiling. Before it reached the ground, there was a sound of sothing sharp cutting through the air.

"Thud."

Several neatly cut tentacles fell to the ground. The limb that had been cut off continued to writhe around non-stop.

The young man stood amongst the blood and mucous with his thin, pale and slender fingers loosely holding the long and dark sickle. Its long and curved blade had torn through the air with ease, as if there was no thickness to it.

There were no traces left on the blade. It seed as if everything it had cut through was swallowed by it.

Ye Jia glanced at the place where the tentacles stretched out from and said expressionlessly, "…..Nice place. It suits you."

No one noticed that the mont Ye Jia's weapon appeared, all the attacks stopped.

A strange silence enveloped the narrow space in front of him.

Suddenly, a small hissing sound sounded. It was so soft, it sounded like it would soon fade with the wind. The insidious tone however could make anyone shudder: "It's you………."

Ye Jia didn't expect this opening statent.

He raised his eyebrow in surprise.

…..Was he that famous?

So much such that even the almost extinct Suckers knew?

"Just a re human…….." The Sucker's voice was mixed with intense hatred, "Yet you actually destroyed our entire species!"

Ye Jia: "……."

?

Wait a minute? What?

"If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have co! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have needed to resort to hiding away in this bathroom and relying on those disgusting weak souls to barely ensure my survival!"

Hatred made that dark and small voice change into a high-pitched shrill cry. It made one's hair stand on end.

The floor and ceiling shook. Strong malice caused the walls to spit out dirty and foul-slling mucous, which made a sizzling sound when it made contact with the floor.

Ye Jia was dumbfounded, "……….."

——-What the hell was this?!

Although the party probably wouldn't listen to him, he really didn't know anything about it!

The author has sothing to say:

Ye Jia: Even while sitting at ho, I get hit by a pot falling from the sky. (KKnotes: Basically, MC suddenly getting blad for sothing he didn't do.)
