Soul Trigger

Chapter 153 Stability and Dog Skin

into the night.

Jin Misha stayed in the ward, Ji Li had already left.

This guy is currently recovering well. He can run, jump and go out, but he cannot leave the spiritual energy supply environment in the ward for a long time.

She will be "out of prison" in less than half a week at most.

Rabbit was still wearing the same clothes as during the day, humming a song as he collected all the plastic packaging, packed them into kitchen and bathroom garbage bags, and then stuffed them into the huge garbage can in the ward.

There are no trash cans this big in general wards, this was her request.

Ji Li originally wanted to help her clean up in the spirit of taking care of the patients, but Misha refused independently.

The ward was quiet at this time, with only her soft humming and the sound of the plastic bag rubbing against each other.

After doing all this, she lay back on the bed, opened her mobile phone, randomly clicked on a TV series, and then placed it next to the pillow.

Then he held his abdomen with both hands and stared at the ceiling.

As time passed, her eyes grew dull and the memories of the past few months raced through her mind.

Gradually, dark purple spiritual essence flickered in the bright eyes, the well of the soul was boiling slightly, and the awakening aura radiated the trinity in the soul.

A few hours later, she blinked as if waking from a dream.

The shadow that had been boiling wildly in the entire ward at some point began to gradually calm down.

Misa sat up from the bed, and sensing the churning of the soul well, she immediately stopped practicing the "Law of Desire" and her eyes lit up with joy:
"Breakthrough."

Then she lay down again and changed a TV show. A few hours passed and she frowned when she stood up again:
"…Progress after the fifth stage has become so slow that I have to adjust the Law of Desire again."

"How about asking Old Ji to tell me a bedtime story next time and recording it for me to listen to..."

……

It was already dark when we left the Blue Label Hospital.

Ji Li did not return to the Special Management Bureau. He had to go back to Aries College first to settle the camera girl on his chest.

Today I temporarily used the black box that turned into a camera in the battle, and I have to say, it is very powerful.

He blocked the enemy's transformation into a demon and killed him directly in a weird way. His last claw could only be regarded as a finishing blow.

Of course, the consumption of his own spiritual essence was also terrifying, almost catching up with the percentage extraction of Soul Mach.

Although I can't let the black box follow me all the time and can only temporarily place it in Aries College, I believe that if necessary in the future, I can ask her to help out a little.

Ji Li returned to Aries College and brought the black box into his own soul prison. The maid nun appeared in human form and looked around curiously.

Honestly speaking, there was nothing good about Ji Li's bare house, which certainly could not compare with the luxurious castle-like interior of the "Hunting Building".

The difference is that this is Ji Li's spiritual prison, not the spiritual prison that relies on driving evil spirits to possess it.

Looking at the [huge structure] Lingbo Prison in front of her, the sweet voice was a little surprised:

"The ownerless hell? This is really... rare."

"My Soul Prison is connected to the entire Soul Prison cluster in the Aries Academy's reflection world. If your Soul Prison is placed here, it should be able to connect to the entire cluster through my Soul Prison. However, now it is only connected to a relic."

On the way here, Ji Li no longer hid anything and informed Black Box of the basic situation.

As an evil creature, Black Box's emotions are different from those of ordinary people. After learning that Ji Li had already reached the underground ruins of Aries Academy, he was not too surprised.

But she was surprised that Ji Li actually owned a Lingbao.

The Lingbo is a part of the evil and can be understood as a kind of evil "physiological phenomenon".

It's like a snail with a shell suddenly discovering that humans also have shells. There's a sense of discomfort on a physiological level of sensing a species confusion.

The black box took floating steps, with scalpels moving densely under its feet, and came to the side of the [giant structure]. With a wave of its hand, spiritual essence gathered and opened up a passage.

Then, gray-black energy substances overlapped and flashed, spewing out from her open face and all poured into the channel.

He soon finished spitting out and politely asked Ji Li if he could create a door.

As the black ice gate blocked the passage, the black box brought Ji Li into the gate, and the familiar "Hunting Shadow Building" appeared in his eyes.

Whether it was the objects inside, the puppet maids, or the furnishings, they were all the same as before.

It's so convenient.

Then a strong spiritual perception covered the entire Aries College and its surroundings. It was the spiritual perception ability from the black box:

"Your jurisdiction should be much safer with me here behind you."

Ji Li nodded:

"It seems that Xiang Yu will be very happy that he can take a long vacation during this period."

"Xiang Yu?"

"Consider him my security captain, an awakened dog."

The black box emitted a surprised voice like a girl:

"I've never seen an awakened dog before... Where is it now? Can I pet it?"

"Xiang Yu is active in the academy, and its pack of dogs can be seen everywhere. But right now, I don't know which female dog's den it is sleeping in... Do you want me to call it over?"

"Oh, that's not necessary." Miss Black Box shook her head:
"Because of my master, I can only stay in Shin Street in Silla and can't go anywhere else. And as you know, the existence of evil is too sensitive to the awakened ones."

"If I go out casually and get targeted as a roaming evil, it will be troublesome."

"You should be able to conduct activities appropriately within my jurisdiction, as long as you don't scare the students and school staff."

"Really?! Thank you for your generosity!"

Heihe happily lifted her skirt and turned around.

However, this action, which should have been very ladylike, revealed her densely packed scalpel legs in the lower body, which were nailed to the floor with a kind of weird beauty.

This evil creature seemed to be full of curiosity about the outside world, and was like a young girl who was easy to please. In Ji Li's opinion, there was no need to worry about their future relationship.

At this moment, the black box suddenly stopped moving, and the petal face opened hideously and looked around.

"what happened?"

"I sense a strange spiritual essence here... no, several."

"Is there an enemy?"

Ji Li was not surprised that the black box showed its effect so quickly, but just frowned -

If this is true, does that mean that Aries College is also being watched by certain forces?
"…It's not the enemy itself, it's more like a mark someone left here on purpose."

As Hei Xi spoke, she motioned Ji Li to come to her side, then she took his arm very ladylike and motioned him to look ahead.

A huge camera emerged from the wall and flashed at the two people.

The black box opened its face and spit out a photo from it, which was then handed to the puppet maid next to it to be framed and placed on a small table.

"Please wait for me a moment."

Then her figure blurred and disappeared into the air.

It was spatial ability again. It seemed that both the big thunder and the black box were abilities related to space and the image of "photo". Ji Li pondered.

The black box has become a relic of personality. Can I also possess similar abilities?
If both Big Thunder and Black Box are generated as cognitive golems in the soul space, the generated gifted personality fragments should also be able to achieve a similar effect.

However, although Ji Li has a lot of experience in belly rolling, he is definitely not the type who is good at picking up girls.

I won’t talk about the time when I was a mercenary in the Murphy’s megastructure and hung out in strip clubs.

After joining the World Tree Group, there was no shortage of bed partners. Who would have thought that picking up girls required some thought?

All I can say is that if you spend more time with each other, you will have a promising future in terms of spatial ability.

A few seconds later, the figure of the black box jumped out from the photo taken earlier, and spit out a lot of things from its mouth——

A stone slab engraved with spiritual circuits, a huge storage cabinet, and a black package.

Ji Li immediately thought of the "mummy" scavenger before, and the scene before him had a similar beauty.

The stone slab looked like it was directly picked out from the school’s small park. There was a spiritual circuit engraved on it. Judging from Ji Li’s attainments, this was a spiritual circuit used to emit aura outwards.

It can indeed be considered a mark.

He frowned and pulled off the lock on the locker, then took out a small bear from it, which seemed to be a student's personal item.

After opening it and unfolding the object hidden inside, it turned out to be a skin of some unknown animal, with spiritual circuits engraved on it.

The third black package contained something that looked like a ritual item:
Sharp sticks made of candles pierced three pieces of bloody skin, and underneath was a small platform like an altar.

Ji Li had previously conducted a cleanup inside Aries College and indeed found similar things, but it was obvious that these things were hidden deeper than he had imagined.

"Except for the stone slab, the other two items have similar auras." Ji Li looked at the skin and had a rough guess in his mind:
It is possible that it was left behind by the previous Crow Man. Although the other party is only a clone, the realm of the original body is very high.

As for the other possibility...that's the Skinner's side.

Boning, throat and tongue removal, these people are really restless.

"The spiritual circuit of the stone tablet seems to have been there for some time. I'm afraid it existed before I came to Aries College."

"Yes, the aura on it is also very weak. The last two items should be recent and have existed for no more than three days." said Black Box.

"Thank you, Ms. Black Box. With you here, situations like the Crow Man should be prevented."

"It's all my job. Do you want to start investigating this? I can help you in the academy."

"This little bear might really need your attention."

Ji Li looked at the black box, examined it from top to bottom and said:

"Can you try to make your appearance more human?"

Black Box tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then the densely packed scalpel legs on his lower body retracted, turning into two pale girlish long legs.

Then she lifted her skirt, revealing the dense spider legs underneath. The two long legs of the girl looked like they were cut off from somewhere and connected to two of the scalpels.

"Is this okay?"

"…It should be fine, as long as you don't open your mouth casually."

Ji Li thought about it and decided to let Black Box enroll directly in Aries College, which should be able to achieve a more rigorous rear-line monitoring effect.

Just put him in his class.

"I'll leave the rest of my life to you. If there are any suspicious people appearing in the academy, please help resolve them. If you can catch them, please try to capture them alive."

"As for these things, I already have some ideas here. Please just protect Aries College. Thank you very much for your help."

"Okay, it's my pleasure to help you."

Hei Xi lifted her skirt, performed a ladylike salute, and then looked at Ji Li expectantly:
"It may be a little presumptuous, but could you please not thank me verbally?"

Ji Li nodded as a matter of course:
"Whatever you need, I can help collect it. Given my current position in the Special Management Bureau, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Really?" Miss Black Box put her hands together and placed them on her face:
"Can you please give me a hug? Just five minutes!"

Ji Li: “…”

"walk slowly."

This requirement is surprisingly simple.

The next day, a taciturn but sweet-looking transfer student came to Aries College, attracting many boys with raging hormones to stuff love letters into her locker.

But soon, the new transfer student became a hot topic in the college's urban legend.

It is said that some people saw her eating the roses given by her suitors, some people saw her disappearing from the dead end of the school corridor, and some people saw her frequently entering and leaving the most mysterious Activity Room 506 in the Government Building (Ji Li's base).

And this transfer student, in a quiet environment, you can always hear a "creaking" sound coming from her body, as well as the sound of iron sheets colliding with each other in her skirt.

It looks like Miss Black Box will soon become one of the top ten mysteries on campus.

……

The arrival of the black box has brought some relief to the tense atmosphere in recent days, mainly by alleviating a lot of pressure brought by the "crow men".

Even if someone makes some petty theft attempts against Ji Li's base, the black box should be able to handle it.

The next day, Ji Li returned to the Special Management Bureau and completed the soul-searching with Pei Taiyu after delaying it for a few days.

There are some surprises behind the incident, because the person who controlled Pei Taiyu to kill his fiancée and corrupted him was not "Mouthpiece" or "Bones Eviscerated", but "Xiangjing".

The Blood-Burning One Xiang Jing was the leader of the Blood Shuttle Group that Yan Xiyu was tracking down before the pilgrimage. Considering the relationships between the members of the Blood Shuttle Group, Xiang Jing did have a blood feud with Ji Li for killing a member of the group.

The gluttony train on the day of the pilgrimage was under the name of Mukai's "Blood Shuttle Group".

"So, Pei Taiyu doesn't know Mouthpiece, and doesn't know who Eviscerate is?"

At Ji Li's signal, the spiritualist continued to ask questions.

At this moment, both he and Pei Taiyu's corpse emitted the same color of spiritual green light in their eyes, and the latter's body was floating in the air. This was the external manifestation of the spiritual inquiry technique.

"Yes, Pei Taiyu didn't know the existence of the mouthpiece... but he went to the 'Pig Factory' and the leader 'Bones' guided him..." Layers of voices came out of the corpse's mouth.

Pig factory?

Ji Li and Yan Xiyu looked at each other, and the recorder next to them wrote down the information.

The spiritualist at this moment was still the same burly man as before. He gestured a “4” to the two of them.

This means that you can ask four more questions. If you ask any more, the corpse and his spirit will not be able to hold on.

"Where is the pig factory?"

“Located in a sinking area where stray dogs are active.”

"Why do the Maw and the Flayer want the 'Masterpiece'?"

"For the King's orders."

A sharp light flashed in Ji Li's eyes——

He asked this question in every spiritual consultation.

But this is the first time that a positive answer has been given.

"Who is the 'king'?"

"I do not know."

"Who wanted to frame me on the day of the parade? Is there a traitor in the Special Management Bureau?"

The corpse was silent for a while:
"Eviscerate...Knows part of the plan."

The body suddenly fell to the ground, and the spiritualist was sweating and panting:

"how?"

"It is more valuable than the information I got from asking the spirit before."

Ji Li and Yan Xiyu left the spiritual inquiry room and retrieved the information about the pig factory from the hidden network.

"This is one of the core businesses of the Skinners, specializing in the production and sale of human skins with ectoplasm circuits. Our agents have destroyed several of their bases in recent days, but after the Pilgrimage Day, the Pig Factory itself has completely disappeared."

Yan Xiyu informed the situation:

"But the connection has become clearer. The Blood Shuttle Group, the Bone Eviscerator, the Skinner, and the King of the Black Production behind them have also been given the name... 'King'."

"This person is most likely one of the 'black hands' behind the Pilgrimage Day, working with the Tower of Babel. Many of those human skins with ectoplasm circuits will eventually fall into his hands."

Ji Li added: "And he should be the one who wants my neck skin in the end."

"But the 'Pig Factory' has already moved. Currently, our informants and undercover agents in the Skinner's black industry have not found any intelligence in this direction. If you use your spiritual circuit to directly fish for the 'Bone Eviscerator', I'm afraid the other party will not be fooled."

Ji Li shook his head: "No, I am very concerned about stray dogs... Does the bureau have any relevant information at the moment?"

Yan Xiyu called up the hidden network and after a search, half an hour later an undercover agent codenamed "Dogtooth" came to the core squadron's combat planning room and saluted the two.

"You two, I've heard a lot. Here are the relevant evidences."

This agent was one of the undercover agents who had just been evacuated from the Skinners not long ago, and was also the undercover agent found in the hidden network system to be closest to the "Pig Factory" before the Pilgrimage Day.

Ji Li opened the evidence bag, which contained evidence of skinning at the "pig factory" collected by the other party.

"What is this? Human skin?"

Ji Li picked up a large bag filled with skins covered in dried blood.

"No, it's dog skin." "Dog Tooth" said:

"The skinning factories themselves are also researching ectoplasm circuits. They trap stray dogs for research and experiment with the ectoplasm circuits they have engraved on them."

"A lot of them are junk. If there are any good ones, they will be sold directly on the black market."

"So, the ectoplasm circuits that some people buy from the black market and sew on their bodies are actually shaved dog skins?"

Yan Xiyu's face turned a little green.

"This is interesting... But if it is really dog ​​skin, I may have some clues."

Ji Li called Xiang Yu:
"Dog, do you still remember how to contact that 'little brother' you took in?"

PS: It's finally the weekend, but I was a bit too reckless last night. I didn't get up until 5 o'clock this afternoon. After eating, I was still a little dazed for a long time, so there is only one update. 5000 words is actually not a small number.

I will update it at three o'clock tomorrow.

that's all.
