Soul Trigger

Chapter 194 The Youngest Son of a Chaebol (Part )

He had a ferocious and tense expression, and he clenched the knife in his hand in a fit of anger.

Then he instantly recalled the scenes just now, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, especially the appearance of the other party's terrifying body walking towards him step by step.

Then he felt something being thrown at him by the other party. He tensed up and chopped it off with a knife in an instant, cutting the thing into two halves, but the texture felt a bit strange.

Following two strange noises, I looked down and saw that they were...cookies wrapped in transparent plastic.

At this moment, he cut it into two halves and it fell into the blood plasma on the ground.

"This……"

"What a waste." Ji Li spat:
"It's okay, I still have some."

Che Canhao saw the other party's hand flick, and there seemed to be a flash of purple light, and another exquisitely plastic-wrapped cookie was thrown over. This time he caught it stupidly.

"Your sister gave it to me last week. The kids love it, so I brought some for you."

"Little...child?"

Che Canhao's mouth twitched as he looked at Ji Li's face, which was not much older than his. The vigilance in his heart slowly subsided a little, and he thought to himself, could this be some kind of ability to change one's appearance?

In fact, there is an old monster hidden inside?

Then if he is an old senior...it seems reasonable for my sister to give him a gift, right?
But shouldn’t the old man drink some tonic food like wolfberry tea? What’s the point of giving him high-sugar cookies?
And when did my sister know a reflection walker of this level?

He calmly glanced at the blood plasma all over the ground, and suddenly felt nauseous again. He could only force a smile:
"Thank you... thank you..."

Forget it, at least the other party has no ill intentions, so let's just step down first...

"What a coincidence! On the way here, I was wondering why I suddenly ran into the eighth son of a wealthy family..."

Ji Li paced around him, with an overturned vehicle burning in flames behind him:

"So I checked it out, and I didn't expect you to be that guy's brother..."

"Excuse me, but who are you?"

"The Black Goat—"

A hoarse voice came from the ruins, and the two looked in the direction of the sound.

A fat man crawled out from the mess on the ground with gnashing teeth, looking at Ji Li with eyes full of resentment:
"What does the Aurora City Administration mean by this?! Do you even want to take care of the affairs of the Gaoxing Group?! Or is this what Shanjie meant?"

Just as Che Canhao was about to speak, Ji Li raised his hand:
"I left you a living victim. For you 'royal relatives', it's better to bring a living person back to file a complaint than a dead one."

"This……"

Che Canhao was still digesting the fat man's guess about Ji Li's identity from the "Aurora City General Administration". He thought to himself, isn't this guy from Shan Street? However, Ji Li spoke a little too fast:
"But this guy seems to know a lot. Are you familiar with him?"

Che Canhao looked at the man, temporarily interrupting his thoughts, with a hint of resentment in his eyes:
"The one who hit me with a club was the leader of this gang, the dog raised by my fourth brother..."

The fat man looked at Che Canhao suddenly:

"I really didn't expect that the Fourth Young Master had clearly monitored all of your channels, but he was able to connect you with the Special Management Bureau..."

"Well, I don't know how you guys monitor me, but we just met."

Ji Li didn't care about Che Canhao's mess and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Then Xiaoche's pupils suddenly shrank, because he saw dense gray tentacles emerging from the other party's palm and cleaning up the plasma completely.

The fat man laughed bitterly: "It's just like the rumors say, you are good at telling jokes... But you are involved in the family affairs of Gaoxing Group, does the deputy director know about this?!"

"You still don't want to listen to the truth... But I have to let the deputy director know about my actions? Which deputy director are you talking about?"

Ji Li immediately became curious——

He has been working in the Special Management Bureau all along. Although he doesn't like the work of the old ladies in the guards, and there are many dirty things in the middle-level positions of the Special Management Bureau, the situation is different at the top level.

Even though the director general was not here, apart from the last time he doubted Ji Li's ability, it could be said that the top brass were united in their hatred of the enemy and were fighting against the foreign enemy together at this critical moment.

So there's something else going on?

It is normal for chaebols to have people in the upper echelons of the Special Management Bureau, and the Special Management Bureau has a total of three deputy directors.

One is currently leading a team to the outskirts of the city and has not returned to report, one is in charge of internal affairs, and the other is in charge of local inspections -

The Procuratorate on the awakened side is different from the normal Procuratorate in terms of system. It has been incorporated into the Special Management Bureau and exists as an independent department.

"You are a Level 4 Special Agent and a full-time executive officer. How could you be the first to destroy the agreement with Gaoxing Group?! Do you know how serious the consequences will be?!"

Ji Li was silent for a moment, then he waved his hand casually, and the gray-white mycelium tentacles wrapped around the fat man and pulled him over:
"…I was walking down the street at midnight and came across an unusual human-caused incident."

"An undocumented shadow walker attempted to kidnap and assassinate the grandson of the chairman of the Gaoxing Group, so I fulfilled my duties as an executive officer of the Special Management Bureau."

"You..." The fat man's hands began to tremble violently, but Ji Li continued at the same speed:

"But we encountered fierce resistance, so we had no choice but to kill everyone and save our little grandson Lao Ba first..."

Ji Li smiled slightly, pulled Che Canhao, who was already in a daze, over, put his arm around his shoulders, and stared at the fat man who was held in the air by the mycelium tentacles:
"How would you rate this script?"

The intense fear made the fat man feel suffocated. He took a deep breath:

“Do you know who is behind us?! That’s the Fourth Young Master! He is the next heir of Gaoxing Group! Who do you think you are?! The entire Silla belongs to Gaoxing Group! You will regret what you did today…”

puff--!
The fat man was directly torn into pieces of flesh by the mycelium. As Ji Li waved his hand gently, the fungal carpet that had been spread all over the ground gradually shrank and disappeared:

"It's bad luck. You'd better die immediately."

Ji Li said, turning his head to look at Che Canhao:

"Are all you chaebol people so hysterical? You have to praise your master first even if it means sacrificing your life?"

Che Canhao was completely stunned, his pupils trembling a little -

Che Canhao was born in a chaebol family. Although he is still a rookie in the awakened world, he has already known some of the internal systems of Silla City:
Secret Service Officer… This guy is a secret service officer!
Special agent is a level 4 rank.

The Director General is 1 and the Deputy Director General is 2.

Level 4, that is, the deputy head of the official department, with enormous power...

He couldn't help but gasp.

The official administrative system for awakened people is different from that for ordinary people.

Although Ji Li's position meant he couldn't ask the Director of Police to kneel down to welcome him in, if he came to visit him, he would still have to be polite and offer him tea.

As for the chaebol families, the most direct form of conflict between them and the government is the "investigation" from the procuratorate.

It would be difficult for the secret agent to "investigate" the local Gaoxing Group in Aurora City, but if it was a subsidiary company of the group managed by the fourth brother...

He probably doesn't even dare to fart.

Suddenly, Che Canhao felt a little warm in his heart.

But sister, when did you get to know this kind of person...

He shook his head, forcing himself to calm down, and a pool of blood plasma spilled onto the ground.

In fact, because Ji Li was born in Shan Street, he did not have the authority to directly mobilize the special management team, and his power was not as great as Xiao Che thought.

But at least in his eyes, this seemingly young and mysterious person beside him holds tremendous power...

Only then did Che Canhao realize that Ji Li was still asking him questions:

"It's just like what you said, serving as a dog for the emperor. After being a dog for a long time, everyone starts to look at you as a slave. The chaebols have always been like this..."

Then he hurriedly said:

"Senior, you don't need to use the Special Management Bureau to deal with the aftermath of this matter. My fourth brother will take the initiative to find someone to deal with it when he knows about this matter, and it won't be traced to you." "That's different. This matter today must be filed in the Special Management Bureau."

Ji Li glanced at Che Canhao, and in the stunned eyes of the other party, he took out the mobile phone of the Special Management Bureau and connected to the hidden network, and made a call to send out the aftermath of tonight. Then, the spiritual essence on his neck flashed, and the demon shadow jumped out and landed:

"Let's go."

"Where...where are you going?" Che Canhao was stunned.

"Is there anywhere else you can go in Aurora City?"

"Not at the moment... not at the moment."

"Then follow me. We still have some balance to pay."

"Where are we going? The Special Management Bureau?"

Che Canhao looked hesitant. He was being hunted and kidnapped by his fourth brother in Aurora City. All the properties and residence under his name were under surveillance. The only two safe houses were also being watched. There was no safe place at all.

As for the Special Management Bureau… he felt that if he was dragged to the Special Management Bureau to register, things might become more troublesome.

"Aries College."

"School? This..."

"Don't worry, it's safe."

Che Canhao was pulled onto the horse's back by Ji Li. With a neigh that resounded through the night sky and a strong wind blowing head-on, the Demon Shadow had already rushed towards the city at a speed that surpassed that of a supercar.

……

Che Canhao followed Ji Li into Aries College with his legs shaking so badly:
"Senior, your horse..."

"soon."

"Isn't it a bit too fast..."

"Otherwise, do you still want to feed mosquitoes in the suburbs?"

Damn, it only took a few minutes for him to run back to the city. He jumped several meters high. If he encountered a detour, he would jump directly to another road. He treated all the walls and tall buildings as hurdles.

Is this how high-level awakeners travel in the middle of the night?

He sighed and followed her into the school gate. As for the plasma on his body, he had already cleaned it up without knowing when.

He didn't want to recall the feeling of being wrapped in mycelium.

Che Canhao is not very old, probably not much younger than Che Li, but he dresses himself more maturely. So when Ji Li saw his image in the dream, he felt that he had nothing to do with a high school student.

Now that it has been baptized by blood and flesh and cleaned again, that childish aura is completely exposed.

At this moment, Che Canhao, who entered the school, felt something was very wrong.

There are wolves in Aries College?!

Following Ji Li all the way deeper into the academy, he could see a few green eyes occasionally appearing and wandering around.

"That's the dog of the 'Bully Group'."

"Ba...what?"

"A group of stray dogs, now staying at Aries College."

"Then...what is that?"

Che Canhao pointed at a rat as big as a human standing on the edge of the teaching building next to him, and his scalp tingled.

"That's the guard here."

"So this one is also a guard?"

Che Canhao swallowed and pointed at a huge spider taller than a man that emerged from the bushes nearby.

"Yes, a guard as well."

Che Chanhao: "...I think my sister might need to transfer schools."

"Do you think there's a safer place than here?"

"Indeed...indeed, not necessarily."

This is not a school at all, it's a den of dragons and tigers.

Do the students who go to school on weekdays know what their school looks like at night?

Bringing the boy to the door of the activity room, Ji Li said:

"Don't move around here for now. I'm going to go in and take care of something. You can come in when I tell you to."

Xiaoche looked around the dim corridor and forced a smile, "Okay...Okay."

Then Ji Li went in.

As the door closed, the surroundings fell into silence.

Che Canhao couldn't help but start thinking about what to do next.

It was a pleasant surprise to meet this secret agent who knew my sister, but I didn't know whether I could use my sister's relationship to get him to help.

"But it doesn't really require much help. I don't have any informants in the Special Management Bureau. I just need a little bit..."

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around abruptly and saw only the white walls of the corridor.

He swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but stick to the door of the activity room:

"……senior?"

silent.

At this moment, he heard footsteps again, more clearly.

A cold sweat immediately dripped down Che Canhao's forehead, and he leaned against the door:

"Senior? Are you there? I feel... there is something dirty outside..."

The footsteps came again, closer, this time from the side.

And they were so dense, as if something was constantly stepping on and stabbing the ground.

Che Canhao felt an itch in his teeth, and he clenched his fists tightly. He turned his head and looked back, and he was so scared that his soul almost died——

He saw a disheveled female ghost standing not far from him, with her long skirt full of rusty legs like scalpels sticking out of the ground.

The face is also a camera head:
"Xi Bal'er?!"

Che Canhao was so scared that he flew off on the spot, and when he took out the knife, he shook like a sieve.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a door opening:

"What are you doing?"

“…Senior!”

Che Canhao looked at him with tears and laughter:
"There is...a ghost in this place..."

"Otherwise, how can you say my territory is safe?"
