Soul Trigger

Chapter 181: Cage (Part )

He spat out a mouthful of blood and his body slowly slid down the wire mesh at the edge of the octagonal cage.

Just as he came to his senses and tried to regain his composure, a large hand rapidly enlarged in his field of vision, pressed his neck and slammed into the wire mesh behind him.

Suddenly, there was a burst of dry retching and violent coughing, coupled with severe abdominal pain, and for a moment, I almost vomited out all the food I had eaten the night before.

"I don't understand why everyone I bring in has such a mysterious confidence..."

Ji Li's voice came from in front of him, and he threw it at his feet:

"In order to be fair, each time both sides take the initiative to fight, they must conduct an honesty question and answer session."

Luo Hu's expression suddenly changed:

"What the hell..."

Immediately, he felt that fatal gaze again, and he was so scared that he immediately shut up and stared at Ji Li with a grin.
"I'm the one beating you up now, so I'll ask you first... What is the Magic Mirror's plan against me?"

Luo Hu didn't want to answer at all, but sensing the increasingly bloodthirsty gazes of the "audience" around him and the fatal throbbing of his soul trigger, he could only roar:

"Cooperate with the Skinning Factory! Offer your skin to the king, and your body and soul to the Magic Mirror! Then I can get more resources and become a true member of Flash Street!"

"In other words, the magic mirror wanted to make me a puppet, but throwing dirty water on me was your own decision..."

"Kneel down and lick the magic mirror, so you can officially join Flash Street? This is more short-sighted than I expected."

Then Luo Hu felt that Ji Li had deliberately let him go, and he punched him in anger:
"Are you deliberately trying to humiliate me!?"

After he finished shouting this sentence, he realized that he was impulsive.

"Yes."

Ji Li answered his question, grabbed his fist and flipped him sideways. Luo Hu turned over and came into close contact with the ground again:

"It's my turn again. What's the plan for Babel?"

Luo Hu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but under the threat of the rules, he could only speak:
"I don't know! I only know that they need a special ceremony! We only play the role of collaborators in it!"

Is it like what I speculated, the cooperation between "The King" and Babel?

Ji Li let go of the other person again, and Luo Hu lifted him up and strangled him as if he had planned it for a long time. Ji Li broke his thigh bone on the spot, and he let out a scream.

But he was also a ruthless man, and he endured the severe pain in his thigh and asked in a stern voice:
"What is your weakness!?"

Ji Li tilted his head:

"How do I know?"

Luo Hu suddenly became furious:
"you……"

Then he was turned over and stepped on the ground:
"Okay, it's my turn again. This time I'm going to ask you something you know..."

Ji Li lifted Luo Hu's hair:
"Where's the girl with the shadow powers?"

Luo Hu burst into laughter:

"She is a top-quality flesh and blood puppet..."

A sharp light flashed in Ji Li's eyes, but a violent sound suddenly resounded throughout the old world's octagonal cage -

Click! ! !
A huge crack suddenly spanned the sky, shattering into a mirror-like light and shadow, reflecting the entire scene below.

The entire spiritual prison space constructed by the octagonal cage of the old world fell into chaos in an instant, and a large number of "audiences" screamed and turned to ashes on the spot.

Luo Hu only felt that the rules on his body suddenly loosened, and he instantly became excited:

"Mr. Magic Mirror! Help..."

There was a sound of spine cracking, and Ji Li instantly broke his neck. Then he felt a powerful will descending from the sky:

"You're going too far."

The scene before his eyes exploded like a mirror, and the strong pulling feeling from before came again. Ji Li felt that he was sucked into a ball of deadly spiritual essence in an instant.

The colorful scene was like a gorgeous kaleidoscope made up of mirrors, spiraling dazzlingly in his vision, and a surging and dangerous throbbing came from the trigger of his soul -

The magic mirror broke the dimension of the old world's octagonal cage...

This is the peak master? !

The moment he sensed that he was out of the rules, Ji Li began to transform into a demon. When the changing light and shadow ended, he only saw his current body standing in front of him.

Mirror?

He turned around suddenly and looked around, only to see mirrors on all sides. The visual effect of the back and forth reflections cast his body in layers:
"Magic mirror..."

"Hello again, Black Goat."

He saw that the evil spirit body in his mirror had changed into his human form and gave him a weird smile.

Then the self in the mirror suddenly raised his hand, and with a flash of sharp cold light, he cut his throat and blood spurted out.

Ji Li instantly felt a strong sense of tightness enveloping his body, and suddenly raised his biomass claws to cut open his throat——

The mycelium at the neck was instantly armored, and with a burst of violent sparks, a deep claw mark was cut on the hardened Sorrow Bacteria strain.

Then dense mycelium emerged from the inner wall and quickly repaired it.

At the moment when sparks burst, Ji Li controlled the Ai Chen strain to enter the second stage. The entire evil spirit body turned darker in color and hardened into armored form.

Together with the bone spurs that pierced through the body, it formed a hideous and heavy appearance that stood up to protect it.

The smile in the mirror became even wider, and the blood-spurting neck was quickly returning to its original state:
"How interesting... Your spiritual essence is really hard to analyze..."

"Analysis?"

"Forget the word, young man...how about we try a different approach?"

The magic mirror said this, and with a wave of its hand, a dense mass of proverbs appeared on the mirror:
"Sign this and I'll let you and that lovely girl go..."

Ji Li ignored him completely. The moment he raised his hand, the spiritual essence biological sac on his elbow suddenly exploded, and his fist erupted with spiritual essence like a rocket thruster, suddenly bombarding the mirror in front of him -

Ji Li's body instantly flew backwards, colliding with and smashing countless mirrors behind him. He fell to the ground with a flutter, and the magic mirror's laughter came to his ears:
"Kid, don't try anything dangerous. It would be bad if you kill yourself with one punch..."

Ji Li stood up instantly:

"reflection……"

The punch just now was intended for the mirror, but it hit himself directly.

"Like I said, if you sign this, you and the girl can leave safely... and you don't need to become my so-called flesh and blood puppets. You just change a contact person and do things for me..."

Ji Li didn't want to listen to any nonsense, and a black flame covered the entire mirror space in front of him.

With the sudden burst of low temperature, Ji Li saw black flames beginning to burn on his body, accompanied by deep and condensed black ice.

"Are you still wasting your energy? Well, in that case...then you should just stay here and wait for my 'favor'..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in men this time."

Ji Li raised his wrist, and as the mycelium shell changed, the rune transformed into a large piece of arm armor with a completely different shape. A welding-like cutting laser burst out from the inside and directly hit the mirror surface.

And a bright burning spot instantly appeared on Ji Li's body, which made him stop instantly -

Any attack will be reflected back to oneself, and behind this mirror, there is most likely another mirror.

He looked around. After he was knocked flying just now, he must have broken a lot of mirrors. But now the surrounding environment was no different from when he first entered this "cage".

The key point is not the mirror, but how to break the magic mirror's spiritual essence...

Ji Li put away the idea of ​​pulling out the little dragon's knife and hitting the space in front of him, as that might cut him in half.

The scene seemed to be at a stalemate, and the magic mirror was still mumbling: "You have quite a lot of tricks... Very good, it seems that all the costs you have paid so far are worth it to get such a flesh puppet... And that special little girl."

"But then again, if you don't consider yourself, don't you want to consider that little girl? If you sign this contract, at least you still have the opportunity to go out and make out..."

"Is the Soul-Separation Soup delicious?"

Ji Li suddenly said, and the magic mirror was stunned:
"What did you say?"

"How does it feel to snake your crotch in front of so many people on the wire net?"

The magic mirror's expression suddenly turned gloomy:
"Trust me kid, it's not a good idea to irritate me..."

"In fact, the glass of wine you drank that day was given to you by me. I wonder if you have ever thought of this possibility."

"you……"

"I saw you twisting your hands over your pants for a long time. Can a top master wet his pants?"

"Shut up……"

"Oh... my wording is not right, that's not peeing in your pants..."

Ji Li stared at the person in the mirror:
"You are shooting..."

"You bastard, you're dead!!!"

The magic mirror's face was completely cold, and his eyes radiated murderous intent:
"You and that woman are both like that. I promise you that you will die miserably, in despair, and hate yourself for daring to say such words in front of me..."

"Ji Li's" human body stopped talking, as if it had fallen into dead silence.

But at this moment, it was functioning as a mirror should, making corresponding mirror movements according to Ji Li's movements, but it was still not his current evil appearance.

And Ji Li discovered some other changes——

The self in this mirror is slowly transforming into an evil spirit.

One of its hands had turned into a pale bone claw, and similar changes were occurring all over its body.

The white bone looked very familiar to Ji Li:

Faceless?
He almost understood:
The magic mirror was analyzing his ectoplasm.

It is also possible that he is trying to analyze his Well of Soul.

But at present, it seems that the results analyzed by the magic mirror are most likely the relics of his personality that he loaded and extended.

Ji Li suddenly had an inexplicable premonition, and at the same time, his soul trigger began to throb, and the throbbing was increasing in amplitude at an extremely slow speed.

If he waits until the man in the mirror completely turns into Ji Li, the "desperate man" at this moment, I'm afraid something irreversible will happen.

Is this how he refines the flesh and blood puppet?

Ji Li thought that he might have grasped the key.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel curious. What would happen if this guy analyzed Odin?
This involved some risks, and he was not prepared to leave the magic mirror there to fiddle with things and put this dangerous conjecture into practice.

He calmed down, and the Ascension Protocol had entered overclocking. He began to sort out logical boxes one by one, looking for a way to escape from this place.

It's much quieter now without this idiot's noise.

Judging from the performance of spiritual essence, the spiritual core ability of the magic mirror at least has spatial attributes.

If you want to force destruction, you still have red matter and bursters to use. The priority is not high, it is the last resort. There should be a better way at present.

In other words, the best way to break the deadlock is to use things with spatial properties to break the opponent's blockade.

At this moment, Ji Li happened to have something with spatial attributes on him——

Rabbit's saber.

He immediately pulled it out of the obelisk space, and his reflection in the mirror made the same move, but he was sucking out air.

The magic mirror had no objection to Ji Li's behavior at the moment. Ever since Ji Li angered it, its attention seemed to no longer be on Ji Li, or in other words, it was no longer on Ji Li's actions at the moment.

Ji Li was also happy about this, but after sensing the saber, he didn't seem to make any progress:
This long sword was originally just Li Mingshuo's weapon, and it was a weapon made at the level of a sophisticated man-made spiritual object.

After Ji Li engraved the Mark of Erosion on it, it was used by Jin Misha for a long enough time, and Rabbit himself made some unknown changes to it, so this weapon now does have some spatial attributes.

When he got it in the present world, it was filled with spiritual essence left by Rabbit Girl. As long as Ji Li mobilized these spiritual essences, he could open the passage to the Spirit Prison and temporarily act as the door opener.

But the problem is that the previous opening of the door has already consumed all the spiritual essence inside, and only the spatial characteristics of this sword remain.

Without Misha's spiritual essence, Ji Li cannot mobilize this trait.

After all, weapons are just tools. Rabbit's ability to open the space door comes from herself. Strictly speaking, the knife is just a medium.

Without a knife, she could use other mediums.

However, Jin Misha deliberately left this knife in the world. Obviously, it was not just for Ji Li to "open the door" to come in, but she must have had other tricks up her sleeve.

The little girl only acted silly in front of Ji Li, but when it came to serious matters, she was quite smart.

At this moment, the "Ji Li" in the mirror has turned into a faceless skeleton, and green flames began to rise from his body.

Ji Li began to infuse spiritual essence into the saber, sensing the sword inside and out.

A few minutes later, the fluctuations of Ji Li's spiritual essence suddenly stagnated, and a dark purple spiritual essence floated out from his visor.

……

At this moment, in the core of the mirror space, the magic mirror is floating in the air.

In his perception, there were two places where spiritual essence was rising.

One place was a completely dark space with rising dark purple waves constantly coming from it.

There is another one, which is a layered mirror blockade that he tailored for Ji Li.

“…I never thought that a little creature that is not even two peak masters would have such a complicated spiritual essence.”

He was thinking and trying his best to explore the Ji Li spirit that he had captured.

The more I explore, the more frightened I become.

With all these characteristics, and the terrifying amplification ability, can we say that he is worthy of being called a Splitting Envoy?
This potential is definitely stronger than the original body, and this kid has only been awakened for a few months...

Rejecting the benefits from the "King" in exchange for two powerful flesh and blood puppets with unlimited potential was a good deal for him.

"Wait, what is this thing..."

The magic mirror suddenly detected a strange aura, which aroused his curiosity:
Does this kid have any other secrets?
That's right, this growth rate is incredible enough, it would be abnormal if there were no secrets...

He immediately controlled his own spiritual essence and followed the strange aura that was rapidly moving away.

In his perception, it was like being in a microscopic world at this moment, constantly chasing Ji Li's spiritual components and the subtle changes therein.

When that aura reappeared in his perception, he rushed forward without hesitation:
"That's it! Such a vast and profound aura! It's almost... comparable to the Wheel-Turning?!"

His spiritual essence was startled, and the spiritual vision in front of him suddenly changed drastically. The soul trigger suddenly felt an extremely dangerous throbbing -

A ray of blue light occupied his entire spiritual vision, the sound of mechanical grinding came to his ears, and an ancient and majestic atmosphere filled his face.

He suddenly felt like a small boat in the vast ocean, with a storm gathering above his head. Terrible huge waves rushed towards him, as if something was instantly strangling his throat:

"What the hell?!"

　Because I decided to save up some drafts recently, I might not be able to finish a conflict plot in one go like I did before.

　　Because there may be some changes in my life recently, I have to keep the manuscripts, so it is inevitable that there will be some gaps in the chapters. I hope my godfathers can understand!
