Soul Trigger

Chapter 200: Grand and Elegant (Part )

Yan Xiyu curled his lips and did not comment:

"So do you have any information about the follow-up situation at the magic mirror? After all, it was you who killed his clone."

"It's not clear yet, but the direct destruction of the flesh puppet by the magic mirror while it is possessed seems to cause some damage to his soul."

Ji Li never forgot the hysterical look on the magic mirror's face at that time.

"If that's the case... your value will increase again, and the Special Management Bureau's risk estimate for the magic mirror's revenge will also be lowered." Yan Xiyu nodded.

"So in the end, the slots they prepared for their own people may have to be handed over to others because of this small variable called the Black Goat... I was wondering why that guy was so rude just now." Ji Li summed up.

"On the surface, you have the upper hand in the current situation, but there are not many people who can speak for you in this meeting. Be careful not to let the other party take the initiative." Yan Xiyu gave a brief reminder.

Unlike the last time when all senior executives were present, the situation at this meeting was actually very delicate. Because the situation changed too quickly, some senior executives that Ji Li was familiar with were unable to attend this meeting in order to cope with the changes in the situation.

The operations director is currently conducting a key investigation in the suburbs and has not returned yet, because the events caused by the Tower of Babel in the suburbs seem to have follow-up.

Ji Li was not familiar with the other party, but this deputy director was supported by Han Xiaofu, which was equivalent to an ally.

My new friend, An Zhihao, the head of the Special Investigation Department, who worked with me once in the bridge raid, is currently going to Shan Street to negotiate because of the magic mirror.

After all, he is in charge of the Special Investigation Division, so naturally he is the one leading the team in the negotiations with Shan Street.

Zhao Zhecheng, the in-house inspector, was the elegant middle-aged man who watched Ji Li's assessment with Han Xiaofu. He also showed a lot of goodwill to Ji Li later and is currently with the guards.

After the old general's wife disappeared, he went there often.

Therefore, Ji Li actually had relatively few voices of support in this parliament session, mainly because he had no acquaintances.

If you have to say, the Attorney General is one of them. Although the two of them are not familiar with each other and have only met once during a meeting, the Attorney General will definitely target the chaebols, so in this meeting, he will naturally favor Ji Li's side.

While communicating with Yan Xiyu, the two of them gradually walked up to the administrative building and arrived at the floor where the conference room was located. There were more and more people along the way.

Some people who knew Ji Li and Yan Xiyu would nod in greeting when they passed by them.

Just then, the roar of a heavy truck came from outside the window, attracting the attention of many people.

When a light gray armored vehicle was seen driving into the Special Management Bureau, a burst of whispers echoed in the corridor.

After seeing the logo on the vehicle outside, Ji Li narrowed his eyes:

"White Fox Group?"

"It seems that the people in the Internal Affairs Department want to rely on the White Fox Group to increase their own power... Look, that's the Minister of Internal Affairs."

Yan Xiyu raised his chin towards the window.

Ji Li saw a bald man with a kind face coming out of the car:
"The old guy looks very kind, a typical smiling cat."

"All chaebols are like this... I think the term is a smiling tiger, right?"

"Just a sick cat."

Ji Li grinned:

"By the way, how are you using the things I left for you?"

Yan Xiyu glanced at him and slightly lifted his collar, allowing Ji Li to see the biomass skin inside——

After the pig factory incident, Ji Li did not completely recover the mycelium epidermis on Yan Xiyu's body, and even completely improved it using the logic of the Rune circuit.

It was just a small gift between "colleagues", and I also wanted the cool girl to help test it.

"It's very stable, much more convenient than ordinary spiritual energy circuits, the spiritual energy flow is also good, and it has a self-repair function, without the cumbersome tattooing process."

Yan Xiyu commented that she had several auxiliary rune circuits left on her.

A functional circuit that can help her stabilize the flow of spiritual essence after spiritual essence mutation.

A secondary circuit that helps her enhance her electrical conductivity and ectoplasm emission.

Another one is a water flow related circuit, which can expand her means of using electric current.

Although the abilities that interfere with reality are essentially the release of spiritual essence, since they are reality interference, under the guidance of the subconscious mind of the human spirit, these abilities will contain certain real physical rules.

For example, Yan Xiyu’s current red electricity will be extremely enhanced in heavy rain and humid environment.

"If your 'biomass circuit' can be equipped to all members of the Special Management Bureau, it will significantly enhance the overall survival rate of operations and the strength of the agents."

"talk later."

Ji Li did not comment.

After applying the rune circuit, that is, these biomass epidermis, to other people, these separated hyphae no longer need Ji Li's spiritual essence supply, but need the spiritual essence supply of the current host.

The benefit is that it can provide others with a very convenient spiritual circuit that is optimized by rune circuit logic.

The downside is that if the host's spiritual essence is exhausted in high-intensity combat, these hyphae will quickly wither.

Ji Li's thoughts returned to this meeting. After thinking for a moment, he said to Yan Xiyu:

"I'm going to make a phone call."

"Is there any other means?"

"Just confirming a few things."

When Ji Li put down the phone and prepared to return to the meeting room from the empty stairwell, he was suddenly stopped by someone:

"Executive Officer Ji Li, please stay."

He turned around immediately and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair.

He was wearing a loose agent uniform and his gray hair was combed back into a ponytail.

He wore a very unique pair of round glasses with thin wooden frames on his face, which made him look calm and bookish.

"Attorney General?"

Ji Li had met him once in a previous meeting, so he naturally recognized him.

"I would like to discuss the situation of this meeting with you."

The other party spoke very politely, so Ji Li naturally agreed.

The prosecutor did not say much to Ji Li. The content was similar to what Yan Xiyu had told him, mainly pointing out the interests involved.

However, he emphasized that he hoped Ji Li could take this position and block Gaoxing Group's planned vision.

After the two sides reached a basic consensus, the Chief Prosecutor did not say anything more and was about to enter the venue to prepare, but Ji Li stopped him thinking:
"What do you think about the coincidence between the proposal of the Internal Affairs Department to add a new position for the special transfer supervisor and Jin Yinghui's meritorious service?"

"There are indeed traces of coincidence, but we have not found any evidence to support it." The Attorney General shook his head.

"I may have some useful information here. I wonder if you are interested."

The Chief Prosecutor looked at Ji Li with some surprise, and there was some suspicion in his eyes:
"If I can cut off these unnecessary dirty hands, I would naturally be interested. What do you mean?" "Speaking of which, I also have some coincidences here..."

Ji Li smiled and took out his personal cell phone.

A few minutes later, Ji Li returned to the corridor, and Yan Xiyu frowned:
"It's almost time to start. What have you been talking about for so long?"

"Nothing, I brought a little gift for our Attorney General. Shall we go in now?"

Yan Xiyu didn't say much, and the two of them began to enter.

This was because some senior officials were unable to attend, and the Director of the Interior Ministry, who is affiliated with the chaebol, could not preside over the meeting.

Therefore, the host of this high-level meeting was also a transferred supervisor, and not too many high-level people were present.

As Ji Li and Yan Xiyu entered the conference room, he immediately felt countless eyes focused on him. Obviously, most people knew the real person behind this meeting, or where the point of the game was.

Ji Li also glanced at the situation in the conference room. The seating arrangement was not very clear, but he saw people from the Internal Affairs Department sitting on one side. He also saw a few familiar faces -

Jon Snow and the white-haired woman in the Blue Label Hospital incident, and the masked young man.

So he smiled and greeted the other person.

The man and the woman naturally noticed Ji Li. They were all shocked. The scene at the Blue Label Hospital some time ago flashed through their minds. They showed surprise on their faces, but they forced out a smile in return.

Then he looked at Jon Snow and the Director of the Internal Affairs Department beside him with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Xue Nuo also nodded to Ji Li lightly as a greeting, then turned to look at the Director of the Internal Affairs Department and lowered his voice:
“…You didn’t make it clear that it was him.”

"He's just a fool who got involved in the magic mirror incident by chance. Are you friends with him?"

The director of the Internal Affairs Department glanced nonchalantly at the person beside him. It was Jin Yinghui, who was staring at the back of Ji Li's head with a cold light in his eyes.

Snow considered it for a moment:
"We are friends, but it has nothing to do with this."

"Although I had anticipated this before coming here based on the instructions given over there, I must remind you that the Black Goat is a very scary Awakened One."

"Really?" The Director of the Internal Affairs Department showed a surprised expression and patted Jin Yinghui beside him:

"Compared with Yinghui now, what are your chances of winning?"

"If you don't use that thing, 80% likely."

"What about using it?"

"Thirty percent."

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department pointed at Ji Li again:
"What about him?"

Xue Nuo glanced at Ji Li. Considering that this was his boss's mission, his boss's instructions before he came, and his face, he thought about it and changed his words to "less than 10%":

“That’s also 30%.”

Then, without waiting for the Director of the Internal Affairs Department to speak, he added:
"If he can kill the mirror's clone... then I have no chance of winning."

But the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Jin Yinghui both smiled:
"...Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror. Do you think he can really kill the Magic Mirror clone?"

"I checked his resume. He only had one mission report in Flash Street. The only interesting thing is that he is a member of the Negative Witch and a Splitter."

"But even so, he has only been an awakener for a few months. Consultant Snow, I would like to ask, how long have you been an awakener?"

"All told, it's exactly seventeen years."

"So you've been in this business for seventeen years, but you're not as good as a guy who's been in this business for less than a year? Do you think this is reasonable?"

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department laughed out loud:
"He relies on the film witch behind him. Even if he has some hidden cards, they should have been used up in the battle with the magic mirror."

"And the Negative Witch has also disappeared. What can a naked kid with no background or power use to compete with us?"

"Not to mention, there aren't many people in this meeting who can speak for him."

He patted Jon Snow on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"I understand that you have seen his strength, but do you think it is truly his own? Don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige."

Jon Snow opened his mouth, but finally chose to shut it.

That's all I've said.

He said this in his mind.

It is true that this old man is the director, but in the High Star Group, his status is no different from Jon Snow. He is even lower than Jon Snow who is leading the White Fox branch here.

He wanted to just close his eyes, after all, if something went wrong, he couldn't be blamed. But out of friendship with his colleagues in the camp, he finally added:
"It doesn't matter which young master or young lady you are. What matters is that you get this done well."

"If anything goes wrong because of your contempt, I won't say anything good about you in front of those people."

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department snorted coldly:
"It is enough for you to play the role of consultant. No one knows the situation in the Special Management Bureau better than me!"

fool.

Jon Snow closed his eyes completely and began to rest.

There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the topics in the first thirty minutes of the meeting for Ji Li, as they were mostly just a summary report.

The last two topics are the key points.

One mentioned the incident in which the Tower of Babel caused unrest in the suburban city, and the other was the commendation for Ji Li and Yan Xiyu's pursuit of the Skinner, as well as the capture of Luo Hu and the uncovering of the Magic Mirror lineage.

Finally, the most important point of this meeting was mentioned, which was to create a new position of Supervisor of Dissenting Coordination, and two candidates, Jin Yinghui and Ji Li, were given, with emphasis on their major achievements:

The former was at the peak of the sixth level of the Overlord Realm. During the "Suburban Riot" incident, he was the first to detect key clues, and annihilated a sixth-level Overlord and several higher-level Overlords under the Tower of Babel in a head-on conflict, obtaining important intelligence related to the Tower of Babel for the Special Management Bureau.

The latter is at the sixth level of the Domination Realm. He uncovered the entire Skinner black industry, established the enemies of the Special Management Bureau, and completed the current key target: becoming one of the direct participants and planners in the death of the third mayor on the day of the Pilgrimage.

Ji Li only reached the peak of the sixth level after his promotion last night, but this has not been made public yet.

"As the temporary host of this meeting, I hereby recommend Executive Officer Ji Li to take on the newly created position of 'Differentiation Supervisor'."

"be opposed to."

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department picked up the microphone and stood up:
“Although Executive Officer Ji Li has made great contributions to the bureau, as the Director of the Internal Affairs Department, I would like to recognize his contribution to the bureau and Silla City, and his act of justice for the innocent people who have been harmed by the black industry.”

"But as a member of Flash Street, it may be inappropriate for him to take on such an important position. Therefore, I recommend Captain Jin Yinghui to take on the newly created position of 'Differentiation Supervisor'."

As the words fell, whispers were heard in the conference room.

Yan Xiyu sneered: "He really dares to say that, a guy who is not even clean himself..."

"Being thick-skinned is a necessary skill. After all, even if someone has a dirty bottom, he has to point it out first."

Ji Li smiled and said, "Is it my turn to refute?"
