Soul Trigger

Chapter 160 Evisceration
As they continued to go deeper into the research institute, Ji Li and Gou Zi came to a small laboratory. There were not many bottles and jars here, nor were there dog corpses, but there were a large number of handwritten documents.

In the center was a huge white board covered with densely written words, so scribbled that Ji Li couldn't recognize most of the characters.

On the wall next to it is a poster board with portraits of three people, from left to right:

A pig-headed man, a black man with dreadlocks, and a thin man with white human skin wrapped around his face.

The pig head was not a real pig man, but a man wearing a bloodstained pig head mask, as if he had put a hideous and broken pig head on his body. The style was very similar to Jin Dong's dog mask.

Combined with the information Ji Li had learned, this should be the third small faction besides the "Dreadlock Gang" and the "Human Skin Gang", the boss of the "Animal Gang" -

Pork noodles.

According to the previous conflict between the two small groups, it seems that this "Pig Face" is not in the pig factory at the moment. He went out half a month ago and has not returned since.

As for the two people behind, the black man with dreadlocks is "Scorpion" and the thin man with human skin is "Hundred Eyes".

Because a lot of the human skin on its body is face skin, and there are a lot of closed eyes.

Ji Li guessed that the one chasing him and Yan Xiyu should be "Hundred Eyes", and the one who suddenly attacked just now was "Scorpion".

He has been in this hell for some time, and with Jin Dong who wants to fish for him here, it is impossible that he has no measures to remove his bones.

Considering his own level in the present world, it would be most reasonable for him to send the two cadres "Hundred Eyes" and "Scorpion" to target him, or for "Cutting Bones" to take action himself.

At the top of the three people is a fat man wearing a gas mask. Combining the intelligence and logical reasoning, this person should be "Bone Picker".

"It's these faces... I still remember that damn black guy! He was the one who stabbed me with the needle! That pig-head cut my flesh! And the skinny guy cut my skin!"

Xiang Yu grinned at the notice board and called out the names one by one as if they were his own treasures.

"If you have the chance, I'll leave it to you to finish off the enemy yourself."

"Really? Woohoo..."

"Okay, let's go..."

Ji Li called Xiang Yu and was about to leave, but Gou Zi suddenly raised his head:

"and many more!"

He looked around and began to sniff:
"I smell a strange spirit..."

Ji Li stopped immediately and watched Xiang Yu perform.

Xiang Yu has the ability to smell spiritual essence. The fact that he suddenly spoke at this moment must mean that he has discovered something unusual.

Following Xiang Yu, Ji Li came to the white board with the ghostly drawings.

"Master, there's something in here!"

"in?"

Ji Li looked at the whiteboard and found that there were indeed traces of splicing.

It didn't take him much effort to find the beginning of the warp, and the technique was very crude.

Ji Li pulled out a dagger and inserted it to pry it open. With a fierce tear, a strange thin stone slab was revealed underneath.

The slate looked like some kind of abstract ancient human mural, but what was unusual was that Ji Li's soul trigger issued a warning:

The breath of the other world!
He frowned and took a closer look.

There is indeed an atmosphere of the other world, but it is very faint.

After asking Xiang Yu for confirmation, Gou Zi said that what he smelled was not the breath of the other world, but a spiritual essence that gave people a very special feeling.

In other words, in addition to the aura of the other world, Xiang Yu also sensed another spiritual aura here.

The portrait above is very simple, it is carved, there are four people in total:
The first person looks normal, nothing special except for the weird painting style.

The second person had tentacles all over his body, as if he had mutated.

The third person grew two faces, one on the left and one on the right.

The left side of the face showed a painful expression, while the right side showed a smug look.

The fourth one is the most puzzling.

He returned to the appearance of the first person, but sat inside a ring, as if wrapped in an egg, with a calm yet somewhat indifferent expression.

Rebirth? Taking over another's body? Or what does it mean?
Ji Li didn’t quite understand.

Considering that there were pursuers behind him, in addition to recording it with the Ascension Protocol, he simply took the thing down and threw it into the obelisk.

But as he removed the stone slab, a strong smell of blood wafted out, and Gouzi was startled:
"Lao Da, this is the taste!"

"I saw……"

Two huge bloody words "Help" were written on the inside of the white board behind the stone slab.

You wrote it in such a hidden place, afraid that someone would find it, right?

Or can it only be written here because only the person who discovered the stone slab can be trusted by the person who is crying for help?

"Master Lao, I can follow the smell and find it!"

"no need."

Ji Li reached out and wiped the blood:
"There are very obvious spiritual fluctuations on it, which can be directly sensed through the soul trigger. The other party obviously left a backup plan so that people can find him."

Pursuing the perception of the soul trigger fluctuations, Ji Li and Xiang Yu walked to the deepest part of the research institute.

After lifting up a wall and opening two secret doors, the two men gradually moved upwards and entered a cold storage.

There were frozen corpses hanging everywhere, and in the deepest part of the cold storage there was a chair where a skinny middle-aged man was sitting, shivering with cold.

The skinny monkey looked disheveled and covered in blood, but his mental state was surprisingly good.

After seeing Ji Li and his dog appear, he quickly shouted:
"Don't don't don't come over here!!!"

Just as Xiang Yu was about to step forward, Ji Li grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and motioned him to look at the ground.

The ground was covered with some kind of spiritual circuit drawn by a faint spiritual material.

Ji Li squatted down to check——

He was not particularly familiar with these spiritual circuits, but he could confirm that they were trigger-type, with complex lethal sub-circuits.

So it can be basically concluded that it is a trap, or something that traps this skinny monkey.

"Don't come over here! We need to dismantle the spiritual circuit first!!!"

The skinny monkey was afraid that Ji Li and his dog would rush over, so he shouted frantically:

"This spiritual circuit has an integrated detection device. It will be triggered as long as a human spirit enters it! Find an expert to open it!!"

"It doesn't matter. I'm an expert."

Ji Li stepped forward and the skinny monkey was immediately frightened to death:

"Wait a fucking minute!!! Are you sure you're an expert?"

"I think I am."

"Stop right there, little brat!!! How many cores can you use at most for a multi-circuit circuit?!"

Ji Li was immediately delighted. This guy even passed the exam.

"If your level is high enough, you can use as much as you want."

"Bullshit! What kind of faux school is this? There are only eight at most!"

"What kind of idiot school of thought are you studying?"

"Don't move, kid! If you move, we will all die here! Hey! Do you hear me? Don't move!"

Seeing that Ji Li was unmoved and had already walked into the range of the spiritual circuit, he could only curse:
"Damn it...you have to find a place to destroy three key structures!"

Ji Li lowered his head and began to tinker with the spiritual circuit, ignoring the skinny monkey who was screaming in fear.

After studying it for a while, Ji Li directly ejected a small strand of mycelium. The mycelium moved spontaneously like a living thing, and stopped at a place in the spiritual circuit with Ji Li's thoughts.

After a period of boiling excitement, it used itself as the material of the spiritual circuit, adding a "touch" to the entire spiritual circuit.

The next moment, the entire spiritual circuit began to decay at a high speed as if it had deteriorated, quickly degrading and disappearing, and the aura of spiritual fluctuations disappeared in an instant.

The skinny monkey who was yelling just now was stunned:

"what have you done!?"

Then he stood up carefully and looked around at the place where the spiritual circuit had just existed:
"Complete destruction!? How is this possible! How did you do it?!"

"Wouldn't it be OK to add an incorrect sub-circuit to make it 'short-circuited'?"

Ji Li transformed the mycelium into spiritual essence and recovered it:

“Not everything has to be done by subtraction.”

The skinny monkey was stunned for a while, then uttered:
"Awesome, kid."

Then he broke the ropes on his body and stretched his muscles that had been bound for a long time.

This rope obviously couldn't hold him back. What held him back was the spiritual circuit beneath his feet, which made him afraid to move.

"You don't look like you were captured, so you're here to cause trouble?"

"You can think so."

The skinny monkey walked forward skillfully with his hands raised to show that he had no hostility.

Since Xiang Yu didn't say anything, he seemed to think Xiang Yu was an ordinary dog. He was just a little surprised why Ji Li brought a dog with him, thinking that the dog might not be ordinary.

Then he led the two of them, turned left and went into a small room.

"Very good... an outsider, that's what I need. Your spiritual circuit skills are good, and it seems that your strength should be OK. You should have figured out the rules here..."

Skinny Monkey rummaged through the drawers in the room for a long time, and took out a gas mask that looked familiar to Ji Li and put it on his head:

"Help me take back control of this place, and I'll give you half of what I have."

Ji Li suddenly raised his eyebrows:

"you?"

The skinny monkey fixed the gas mask on his head and smiled:
"I am a humble person... People in the underworld call me 'Bone Picker'..."

As his spiritual essence opened up, the skinny monkey suddenly became a big, fat butcher.

Cognitive camouflage.

Xiang Yu's teeth opened wide in an instant, and the eruption of spiritual energy circuits frightened the man who called himself "Bone Picker":
"An awakened dog...?! What the hell is that?"

Then he remembered something:
"…You are the dog that was thrown out? And you are still alive?!"

Then he looked at Ji Li:
"then you……"

"Bone Eviscerator, Skinner, Babel, Pei Taiyu...are these names familiar to you?"

Ji Li patted the dog's back. He knew that Xiang Yu's sadness had turned into anger, but he also signaled this guy not to get too excited and to put the overall situation first.

Hearing Ji Li calling out the names one by one, the bone-picking voice suddenly became a little gloomy:

"Damn it, something bad happened after all... I never wanted to get involved with the people from the Tower of Babel."

Then he began to explain to Ji Li in a long and rambling manner.

According to Eviscerate's account, he had been imprisoned here for two months.

He was originally a stable supplier of spiritual circuits for the "king", but as people from the Tower of Babel approached the "king", he felt that he did not have the diamond drill in his hand and did not intend to take on this porcelain job, so he prepared to withdraw.

But what he didn't expect was that the "pig factory" under his control had formed a complex faction over the years, and each of them had ulterior motives.

It would be fine if everyone is just thinking about making money from illegal activities, but once disagreements arise, the situation will become irreversible.

With the defection of his trusted confidant "Pig Face", his Lingbi Prison was completely divided up by these three parties.

He is still alive because of the symbiotic connection between him and the lair master of the Lingbo Prison.

Even if the lair master is not under his control, he must be alive until the rebels sever that connection so that this limbo can continue to exist.

"That is to say, the 'King' is indeed a collaborator of the Tower of Babel, and you are completely unaware of the details of the cooperation... How can I trust you?"

The butcher knife was taken out of the box, and a crude tank rifle was taken out:
"I know how to repay a favor. You pulled me out of the pile of dead pigs, why would I lie to you..."

Then he analyzed it for Ji Li:
"Since you said someone was working with Babel under my name, it couldn't be Pig Face."

"He is not a very smart person. But it was that incident that made me realize that the bastard was not following my confidant, but the confidant of the 'king'."

"And Hundred Eyes is just a lunatic who likes to collect human skins. So if your goal is to harm you and those who cooperate with Babel, then the only one who can do that is Scorpion."

"As for 'Pig Face', I think he should be completely following the 'King' now and is not in the factory at all. But considering the cooperation between the 'King' and the Tower of Babel, I am afraid he is also involved in it..."

The logical frames moved and combined in Ji Li's retina——

If what Che Gu said is true, then "Scorpion" is the one who knew part of the Babel Tower plan and participated in it under the name of Che Gu, corrupting Pei Taiyu.

At the same time, he is most likely the one who constantly wants to hunt for Ji Li's "masterpiece"...

Before he finished speaking, a strong spiritual wave swept over, and the two men and the dog felt their soul triggers tremble wildly, issuing a fatal warning -

"Boss Bone Picker, so this is how I look to you? This really makes me sad..."

A tall and thin figure broke through the ceiling and fell from the sky——

His entire body was wrapped in white human skin, he was tall and thin, holding a pair of knives in his hands, and his face was a hideous human face that had been stitched together.

"Hundred Eyes..." The bone-eating voice was gloomy.

"Masterpiece, you can't escape..."

A black man fell to their side. At this moment, the small room had completely collapsed, and a dilapidated corridor was formed at the scene. The two of them blocked Ji Li and others from the front and the back.

"Jin Dong is really a good dog... He actually managed to drag you in before he died, and even brought a group of people from the Special Management Bureau with him..."

"Special Management Bureau...?!" The bone-cutting voice was stunned.

"Oh, you don't know yet."

The scorpion spread out its strong arms, and as the dense spiritual circuits on its body lit up, an extremely thick scorpion tail emerged from behind it, which was highly similar in appearance to the exoskeleton tentacles that besieged Ji Li before:

"The lifesaver next to you is from the Special Management Bureau..."

Qi Gu suddenly laughed and said, "Your method of provoking him is really bad. Even if he is a cop from the Special Management Bureau..."

"He was the cop who pulled me out of the shit pot. Anyway, he is better than you bunch of idiots who are betraying their own people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and a black shadow was thrown out. It was a giant meat nail with a chain.

At the same time, Xiang Yu also roared and turned into a giant dog more than four meters tall and rushed towards Baimu.

Ji Li also entered the "Desperate" form at the same time, leaving a huge dent on the ground, and appeared in front of the black scorpion with a violent gust of wind.

As soon as the scorpion avoided the bone-picking sting, it saw a flash of light in front of its eyes. In the instant of shock at the terrifying speed, the spiritual circuits in its body suddenly lit up, and it punched Ji Li -

"Be careful! He is a sixth-level master..."

boom! ! !
The violent air waves spread in all directions, the spiritual biological sac on Ji Li's elbow suddenly exploded, and the power of that punch multiplied layer by layer.

Scorpion only felt that the opponent's fist suddenly exploded like a rocket, and circles of air waves exploded one after another, blowing the surrounding walls into pieces.

His eyes blurred, and the scene around him quickly retreated, like a cannonball flying backwards, crashing into the end of the corridor. Spiritual essence flashed all over his body, and a strong stinging pain came from his arm -

Such a terrifying power?!
"No... My realm is suppressed by Ling Bo Yu, and my lethality is still far behind..."

Ji Li pulled back his fist, but saw Qi Gu standing there in a daze, looking at him as if he were a monster.
