Soul Trigger

Chapter 137 Promotion (I)

The steering wheel creaked as the cool girl grabbed it, and she glared at Ji Li fiercely.

After smelling the scent of shower gel on him, she looked as if she wanted to eat him alive:
"You... what the hell did you give me to drink last night?!"

Ji Li rubbed his temple helplessly:
"You insisted on drinking it, why are you blaming me..."

Yan Xiyu was immediately furious, because it was indeed she who insisted on drinking it, but this did not stop her from scolding Ji Li:

"You are such a sex-hungry ghost... You actually developed such a messed-up drink! I really should arrest you and put you in jail!"

"And you dared to leave me there and go off to fool around?!"

Compared to the previous reason, this one seemed to make Yan Xiyu hate it even more. It was indeed Ji Li's fault. He apologized sincerely:
"I'm sorry, but I'm conducting a very 'deep' investigation and can't leave right now. So did you really wait here all night? You could have taken a nap..."

"I won't sleep! How can I beat you if you fall asleep?!" Yan Xiyu immediately took out his baton, and Ji Li immediately showed his cell phone:
"Here, information."

Yan Xiyu then put down the stick and snatched it away coldly. After looking at it for a while, his veins bulged again:
"Isn't this a complete loss?! The flow and shipment volume are all normal. Don't tell me I still have to go to the delivery cleaners to check each one?!"

Ji Li didn't think so. He had gained enough cognitive index, a new cognitive golem and a personality fragment.

And lovely bed companions.

However, there was also some other intelligence gained.

After telling Yan Xiyu the information she had learned from Qin during the auction, and adding some of her own speculations, the murderous intent in Ku Niu's red eyes faded a little:
"Forget it... At least it's some information. According to your speculation, the magic mirror is now also a suspect."

Although Magic Mirror was not at the pilgrimage site on that day, or even in Silla, he had the motive to turn Ji Li into a flesh and blood puppet, and his trusted subordinate Luo Hu played a key harmful role in the fuse incident.

These two points alone are enough for Yan Xiyu to file a case and have the Special Management Bureau launch an investigation.

"But Magic Mirror... that bastard has a lot of criminal records, and the situation between us and Flash Street is very ambiguous at the moment, so it's really hard to investigate this guy openly..."

Yan Xiyu sighed and started the car:

"Return to the Special Management Bureau and go to Training Ground No. 4 after submitting your report."

Ji Li's face was filled with inexplicable laughter: "...You want to practice with me again?"

The subtext is that you'd better not seek abuse.

Yan Xiyu said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to beat you up today."

……

Although the development of clues was not smooth for Ji Li, it was good from the perspective of personal gain.

However, the Special Management Bureau has made some progress in its fight against the Skinners.

There were three "nails" that were driven in, that is, undercover agents obtained key intelligence, which further confirmed the authenticity of the name "mouthpiece".

Han Xiaofu, together with Quan Qixian's troops, eliminated a tail stronghold left by "Chaos".

However, the name "Tower of Babel" seemed to be taboo and had never been announced to the Special Management Bureau and the Guards. They were mainly operating under the code name "Chaos".

After confirming with Feilin, Ji Li learned that the existence of the "Tower of Babel" organization was somewhat related to the mastermind of the "Calamity City" incident in the Black Sun Mansion, but it was unknown whether they were behind it.

From a geographical point of view, the two countries of Hei Rifu and Silla are relatively close.

The top brass of the Special Management Bureau and the Guards will inevitably take this into consideration to avoid causing unrest among the official awakeners.

Because the clues were temporarily interrupted, after Ji Li returned to the Special Management Bureau to make a report, he was dragged to the underground training ground by Ku Niu'er for several training sessions. Ku Niu looked like she was going to become an immortal but she was determined to beat Ji Li up.

It’s true, after staying up late, a person’s adrenaline will surge briefly, and the cool girl’s spiritual core ability is the electrical energy of reality interference.

Although the two could not use spiritual essence on a large scale, they relied on electric energy acceleration and various external factors to suppress Ji Li, who was in human form, several times.

During the sparring process, Ji Li felt more and more that Yan Xiyu was not only rebellious, but also stubborn.

For example, this guy’s favorite kick is the scissor kick.

This move is useless against evil spirits, and it is also rarely useful against humans during a spiritual battle, unless it is a fight between two awakened people with enhanced physical bodies.

But Cool Girl likes to use this trick to attack Ji Li's head, because she once used this trick in a change of tactics, and after being intercepted by Ji Li, she seemed to be fighting against the scissors kick.

She won't stop until she succeeds once.

Ji Li didn't know what to say, "Girl, please stop pinching my head. You haven't succeeded anyway."

If he really said that, maybe all his future sparring with Yan Xiyu would be spent on scissors kicks and reverse scissors kicks, which would be too boring for Ji Li.

Physical fitness training is also a process of gradually becoming familiar with and controlling the body, reviewing the old and learning the new.

An awakener like Bunny Girl, who was highly dependent on her psychic ability to interfere with reality, could only rely on the enhancement of her physical body under the psychic power to fight against Ji Li. She was pinned to the ground by him after just a few moves.

But Rabbit is actually a small exception. That girl is very strong, and if it's purely physical, it's hard to say who will press whom.

Therefore, "rookies" like Yan Xiyu who have superb skills, have received high-intensity training, and have rich practical experience are rare.

Moreover, for Ji Li, whose hobby is pleasure, he would rather fight with the cool girl than Han Xiaofu.

You absolutely cannot imagine the feeling of Director Lion's strong old thighs using a scissor leg clamp on you. Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

The two sweaty men took a shower in the training ground. After changing their clothes and coming out, Yan Xiyu's steps were unsteady.

So Ji Li sent her back home very considerately——

The housing for employees of the Special Management Bureau is considered very good community housing in Shilla.

……

While driving to the Blue Label Hospital to visit Misha, Ji Li saw some pink balloons floating below the elevated highway. The place was decorated with lights and colors, as if some activity was being organized.

The pilgrimage day just passed a short while ago, and to be honest, things have been quite turbulent for the people of Silla recently, and I don’t know what they are celebrating.

After getting off the elevated highway, when Ji Li parked his car on the side of the road, a man in a suit with a bunch of balloons handed him a flyer.

Congratulations to Mr. Gao and Ms. Liu on their wedding.

This was the first time Ji Li encountered a wedding in this world. He asked if the people of Silla always invited passers-by to their weddings in such a grand manner.

The man looked listless and just forced a smile and explained that a middle-level leader of their Yinchi Group was getting engaged.

Today is before the engagement banquet, there are some ceremonies to be held, and citizens from all around are welcome to come and watch the ceremony, which will be followed by the formal engagement banquet.

Ji Li said that wouldn't it be an even bigger scene at the formal wedding? Besides, isn't it the leader's business to get married? Should the employees also help distribute flyers?
The man didn't want to talk more, but was a little confused about Ji Li's seeming lack of some "common sense".

After Ji Li used his identity as "Shu Long Ren" as an excuse, this person felt a strong desire to talk and started complaining to Ji Li.

As a chaebol of Shilla, Yinchi Group is a giant, especially in Aurora City.

Life is not easy for a small clerk without any background in such a chaebol. It is almost impossible to survive if they don't flatter their superiors.

The man he was engaged to was ostensibly a middle-level leader, but in fact he was a relative of the Yinchi Group. Not only was his status much more noble than his, he was also his superior, and he had just made the other party unhappy because of something some time ago.

Every word from the other party was a slap in the face, and he dared not disobey. He could only work overtime on his days off and serve his boss like a dog, otherwise his life in the company would become even more difficult in the future.

There are many people like him in the chaebols. The difference is that some are active dogs, while others are passive dogs. The boss is visiting the old president of Yinchi Group in the Blue Label Hospital, and the celebration venue is in the nearby area.

This did not stir up any waves in Ji Li's heart. He had seen this a lot in Murphy's megastructures, but the pattern was different.

In his world, there are conspiracies and intrigues secretly between the bosses and subordinates in the giant companies. One tries every means to use the other to death, while the other tries every means to pull the person down from the position and do the job himself.

If they do it openly, there will be many ways to do it. Hiring someone to kill someone, shooting on the street, assassination at a private house...

This is the norm of being a company dog ​​in the previous life, Silla’s words are still too gentle.

After taking a bunch of balloons from him and transferring the money to him as if he had bought them, he walked into the Blue Label Hospital.

It was a coincidental meeting, and Ji Li didn't mind treating the other person to coffee for a month.

Before he entered the Blue Label Hospital's Limbo, he saw a group of people walking out of the elevator—

They were all wearing black suits and looked very majestic. The leader was about 30 years old, and was followed by a beautiful woman in a beige dress. She seemed to be the "boss" that the employee mentioned.

When passing by this group of people, Ji Li's soul trigger was triggered. He turned his head and saw two tall figures wearing headsets in black suits, one man and one woman.

The awakener.

The two men also turned their heads and were a little surprised to notice his young face, but they also nodded slightly as a greeting.

Ji Li remembered that the shopping mall where he and Tuzi Niuer had fished out An Zhongxun was backed by the Yinchi Group.

Misa also told him some stories about awakened people working for chaebols and sleeping with Korean idols at will.

After all, chaebols in Silla were a bit like local emperors, and it was just a routine operation to influence the power of the country.

It seems like these two have been in the girl group's belly before?
Ji Li put this episode behind him for the time being and went to visit Misha.

Fortunately, Bunny Girl has woken up.

Unfortunately, I just woke up an hour ago and I didn't have time to inform him because the examination was just completed, and only my brain was awake.

……

"Abba, Ababa, Abba..."

"how are you feeling?"

"Aba Aba Aba..."

Looking at Misha, whose whole body was still in a mummy state, her eyes twisted to stare at Ji Li, and her mouth uttered an unknown alien language. Ji Li used good expression management to prevent himself from laughing out loud -

Before you start making fun of your brother, wait until he recovers.

According to the attending physician, Misha's recovery is progressing rapidly. If it weren't for Ji Li's strong prohibition and the background of the Special Management Bureau, they would have brought people from various departments to observe and study.

But although the soul and mind recover quickly, the physical nerve damage is repaired more slowly.

So now, except for the gauze on his head which has been almost removed, he can only lie in bed and cry like a mummy.

Ji Li lifted the gauze on his neck to check the recovery progress. His snow-white skin was even more delicate than before.

However, when Ji Li was about to continue flipping down to see the development, he was stopped by Misha's crazy blinking. He decided not to tease her anymore and just chatted with her for a while, telling her about her recent situation.

Then, he consumed 30% of his spiritual essence to add a few seconds of Soul Mach effect to Misa.

Bunny Girl's eyes widened instantly, and after a few seconds passed in a flash, she was barely able to turn her head.

The same dark grey eyes sparkled as he looked at Ji Li's tired appearance, and he looked like he was about to cry:

"Raogie (Old Ji)..."

Ji Li laughed dumbly: "You should have a good rest."

But Misha blinked frantically, speaking in a vague alien language. It took Ji Li a long time to understand what she meant, so he leaned over and said:
"so?"

Misa whined and said no.

Then Ji Li moved closer:

"so?"

The other party continued to express his dissatisfaction. Ji Lixin said that if he came closer, he would kiss him. How could this brotherhood work?

As Ji Li's face got closer, Misha reluctantly raised her mouth and tapped Ji Li's cheek -

A flash of shadowy spirit essence flashed like a flame, and disappeared after purple ash rose in the air.

Ji Li immediately raised his head and said with a smile:

"Want to sacrifice yourself for your brother?"

Misa groaned half-deadly and mumbled something incomprehensible.

It probably means that my good brother can't help you now, and can only use his mouth to give you a BUFF. Don't be ungrateful, little goat head. I'm really afraid that you will die outside without your brothers.

Ji Li said he understood, and told her to just lie down and relax, then he touched her head.

This girl has fluffy hair, with plenty of hair and it's very hairy.

There was a strong protest from Misa beneath him.

Haha, little girl.

Before leaving Blue Label Hospital, Ji Li went to check on the victims again, and the condition was still the same as before.

But Ji Li always felt that something was wrong, so he simply took away the personal belongings of several people before leaving, and then called Xiang Yu.

……

Ji Li returned to Aries College, and a big snow-white dog rushed up to him and wagged its tail at him.

He is the newest younger brother of the iron-clad Xiang Yu.

At present, Aries Academy has Xiang Yu's "Ba Wang Group" as a cordon every day, and they will pass on information if there is any sign of evil causing chaos.

Then the seven black ice rats that had been captured and artificially trained by Ji Li and could leave their nests would rush over and kill them.

As for the more troublesome evil spirits, Ji Li would have to come back to deal with them. However, since the Ice Prison incident, such situations have almost never occurred. In all this time, there have only been one or two times.

Today is the weekend and there are no students in school. Only a few members of the Overlord Group remain in the school.

However, Ji Li noticed that the white dog seemed to be holding something in its mouth and offering it to him.

He opened it and saw that it was an invitation.

Sent from the "lord" of another jurisdiction.
