Soul Trigger

Chapter 13 Legacy
Bunny Girl instantly straightened up like a zombie, and saw Ji Li's face, which was covered with saliva from her.

Then, the confusion and pain in the depths of the dark gray pupils flashed away:
"I'm alive!?"

"...bottle...bottle..."

The weak voice made Jin Misha realize that Ji Li was in bad condition. Even though her mind was still a little confused, she quickly felt around her body, picked up the bottle that rolled behind her butt and covered Ji Li's mouth and nose with it.

Then she looked around and saw the bloody and fleshy residues that were turning into ashes. Her pupils suddenly shrank:
"That thing... is dead?!"

She stood up almost instantly, especially noticing the gray scenery outside the window:

"No...we escaped?!"

The intense joy of survival exploded in her eyes, and she almost instantly pounced on Ji Li with the ball:

"Awesome!!!! Bro!!!! I'm still alive!!!"

The joy of survival turned into a soft and powerful enthusiasm that all poured into Ji Li. Jin Misha used her hands and feet to shake and jump:
"Hahahaha... I'm still alive! You're still alive too... You're the most awesome rookie I've ever seen!!! How did you..."

"I know... stop... stop! I'm about to fall apart, stop shaking!! Stop--"

"……sorry!!!"

Realizing Ji Li's pale face, Jin Misha picked up the can of supplements that had fallen to the ground and was about to hit Ji Li in the face, but the latter fell on her:

"Hey, hey! You better hold on! Take another breath! I know this place like home, I'll take you to the exit right away!!!"

Ji Li was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. It was as if a huge bell was repeatedly colliding in his soul, causing him to feel severe pain all over. At the same time, he could hear loud rumbling sounds in his ears. His eyelids felt like they were filled with cement and he couldn't open them. His vision was blurring at a very fast speed.

"...We have returned to the Reflection World...The Shallow Prison has risen? But why is this..."

"Forget it, let's go out first..."

Jin Misha directly carried Ji Li on her back and limped towards the gray room:

"I can take you out, trust me, just hold on and don't fall asleep!!"

Jin Misha kept talking to Ji Li, trying her best to make sure he was conscious.

"...Mirror...Where is the mirror...I remember it's over here..."

"Hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to return to the civilized world soon! There are plenty of beautiful young girls and rich ladies waiting for you to lead them to the pinnacle of life!!!"

In his hazy consciousness, he had no idea how much time had passed. It seemed like a minute, but also like several hours. He only heard Jin Misha's voice echoing in his ears, talking about all kinds of trivial things and some things that Ji Li couldn't understand, which sounded like internet memes.

Sometimes he said "dungarees" and "iron mountain leaning against", and when Ji Li almost fell, he said "Aiya what are you doing". Sometimes he said in a weird tone what happened to Teacher Ji and what was going on, and finally he even sang a weird song loudly.

The Ascension Protocol also kept popping up a lot of bright red warning boxes, and Jin Misha's various nonsense that annoyed him so much that he couldn't fall asleep, made Ji Li's consciousness repeatedly hover on the edge of coma.

"Brother, I found the mirror!"

Finally, he felt his body being put down by the other party. As his body tilted due to gravity, his cheek was held by the delicate touch of leather and pulled in a certain direction:
"Look in the mirror! Focus! Hold on a little longer! Look at it! Touch it with your Soul Trigger!"

In a drowsy state, Ji Li barely opened his eyes a little, and then he felt his eyelids being pulled open:
A whole row of washbasins was right in front of him.

Jin Misha held his face and asked him to stare at the mirror in front of him that was as clean as new. The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened——

The anxious voice of the girl beside him faded away, and he saw the mirror shattering, creating cracks of light. The cracks enveloped him and turned into a sky full of light - a scent of flowers rushed into his nostrils.

He saw white clouds floating in the clear sky, flowers, plants and insects chirping all around him, and the warm sunshine shining on his body. He felt so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.

Then a soft body fell on top of him, and the face of a gray-haired girl obscured his entire field of vision.

The girl had a delicate and beautiful face, with black star-shaped sequins on the corners of her eyes and glossy lipstick, but for some reason half of her face was swollen like a pig's head.

"…Are you still alive? We're out! Can you see my hand?"

"I can see your pig face..."

"what?"

After hearing Ji Li's weak reply, the girl let out a long sigh:
"... Damn it, I thought you were dead, you scared me to death... Hiss, my face does hurt a little."

"Wait, where are your clothes? Why are you a naked man..."

Ji Li didn't say anything else because he had already fallen among the flowers and plants. His brain and soul, numb from the pain, had already reached the critical edge and he fainted completely.

……

Six hours later, the gray-white reflected world.

Water accumulated on the ceiling, but it did not fall under the action of gravity. Instead, it gradually expanded, from a small stain to a small puddle, and then to a large area of ​​shallow water as clear as a mirror.

A dark shadow fell from the ceiling, followed by an almost unnoticeable sound of landing on the floor. A total of six people appeared in the corridor.

Half of their faces were covered with face guards. They wore uniform blue-black combat uniforms. While they were fully armed, two of them were also carrying various instruments in large and small bags.

"The R&D department's stuff is really good. It's safe to enter..."

"I didn't expect it to be water-resistant... Is it because we are essentially using the concept of 'mirror' as the entry point?"

"Stop gossiping during the mission."

The leading woman told the two newcomers to shut up. Under her leadership, the six people methodically searched the rooms connected to this place.

"The situation was discovered in the east corridor. It was confirmed that the red radiation from the inner world is in a degrading state."

"All units, regroup in the east corridor, repeat..."

In a corridor that looked as shattered as something from a war zone, instruments and measuring tools of various sizes and names were placed everywhere.

This is the battlefield between Ji Li and the mutated Spider Woman. After resurfacing to the reflected world, this space that was originally the Lingbi Prison replaced a certain location in the reflected world and was frozen at the last moment of surfacing.

The huge pit in the center that almost shattered the entire corridor, the shattered wall not far away, and various traces in all directions were carefully investigated and measured by these uniformed personnel.

"Captain Yan, the red radiation inspection is complete. It is confirmed that the aura of the other world is constantly degrading, which is in line with the red radiation degradation conditions in Section 2.6.8.1 of the Operation Manual. There is no longer any attention from the other world here... Tsk, these traces are really scary."

"It's not that scary." The leading woman stroked the huge hole that Ji Li had stepped on, "It's very scary..."
