Soul Trigger

Chapter 229 Situation (I)

"What the hell?"

"Why are you wearing something like this on your ring finger!?"

Ji Li glanced at his hand, which was the ring that Yuya Xun had given him:

"Then should I wear it on another finger?"

"hey-hey……"

"Divine gold, take it."

Bunny Girl took the gift box from Ji Li with ease. It contained some special foods from the Sakura City, as well as some Japanese-style accessories.

Because I was in a hurry, I was at Sakura no Miya Airport when I contacted Jin Yasa, so I basically bought everything at the airport——

In other words, it is a device designed to trick outsiders.

However, Misa was holding the thing and couldn't let it go, looking very happy.

The two of them were talking as they walked out of the airport, but the ring made Ji Li frown, so he decided to put it in his pocket first.

Misa, who had been chatting away, had actually been observing this scene and was immediately puzzled:

"what happened?"

“I can’t put it on.”

"What?"

Ji Li picked up the dog-patterned ring and tried to put it on his index finger or middle finger, but it got stuck on the middle knuckle and couldn't go in.

"Artificial psychic props?"

"Why else would I put a steel ring on my hand if I'm fine?"

"let me try."

The expert appraiser, Bunny Girl, took the item over, lowered her sunglasses, and looked at it in the sunlight outside the airport:
"it's wired……"

"how?"

"This thing... has no shadow?"

Misha spread out her delicate fingers, placed the ring in the palm of her hand and showed it to Ji Li.

Indeed, the daylight shines on the ring without any shadow from below.

Ji Li immediately thought of Yu Yaxun’s attitude towards Fang Jianshi before.

The obelisk is a space-attribute prop that Misha made with her own power and asked craftsmen to make. It contains her shadow essence.

This kind of spiritual essence seems to be somewhat in conflict with Yuya Xun's spiritual essence... From this perspective, it makes sense that this ring does not have any "shadow"?

"Where on earth did this come from? It looks like it's of great quality!"

"It was given to me by a friend I know in Hei Ri Mansion."

"Tsk..." Misa looked at him meaningfully, "Your friend must have bad intentions towards you!"

"It's true that he has bad intentions. Forget it, it doesn't matter where I wear it..."

"Nonsense! Do you know what it means to wear it on your ring finger?"

"I'm not the type to care about details like that."

"But other people will care! What if you go back to the Special Management Bureau and everyone comes to wish you a happy marriage?"

"Okay, okay, where is the restaurant I asked you to book? Where are we eating?"

While chatting, the two sat down in a small restaurant outside the airport that served Anton Chicken. The environment was nice, but it was a roadside stall.

"...You're taking me to eat this to welcome me?" Ji Li looked around with a strange expression.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've made a guide, and this is the only best restaurant near the airport!" Misa said unconvinced.

"Okay, you have the final say." Ji Li shrugged and put the things aside.

"Don't worry, I came here for a snack while waiting for you. It tasted good, authentic Silla spicy food!" Bunny Girl gave a thumbs up and laughed.

"I ate before I got on the plane, so I'll just have something to eat. What did you figure out about the ring?"

Misa shook her head: "This thing seems to be alive."

There is nothing special about the finger you wear a ring on, but it becomes a different story if you mix it with soul psychology.

If this ring can only be worn on the ring finger, then it means that there is definitely something wrong with this ring. The person who gave it only wanted the other person to wear it on the ring finger...

Damn, what kind of luck is Old Ji in love? He even went to the Heiri Mansion to mess with the Sakura girl!
Misa thought angrily, took the ring off the middle of her upright middle finger, and simply injected spiritual essence into it -

In an instant, Ji Li saw Bunny Girl scream and jump up from the bench. A puff of green smoke rose from her hand, and the ring fell to the ground with a clink.

Ji Li's brows darkened, and he immediately rushed forward to grab her hands, covering them with his spiritual essence:

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay, it's just that the spiritual essence in here seems to have escaped...it's a bit difficult to clean up."

Dark purple spiritual essence rose from Jin Misha's fingertips and lingered on the surface of her skin.

But a hint of faint green spiritual essence has always been attached to the black mark.

Ji Li frowned and gently rubbed off the black part of Misha's fingertips. When his spiritual essence drilled towards those stains, the dark green spiritual essence was quickly wiped away.

This woman's possessiveness seems to be a bit too extreme.

He seemed to be able to see the scene of Yuyaxun laughing wildly over at the Heiri Mansion.

He immediately raised his head and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

After all, this is the spiritual essence left behind by a monster that can kill immortals in seconds.

Misha stared at Ji Li blankly, then shook her head violently:

"No...it's okay...No! Something's wrong!"

"Where does it hurt?"

"It seems like some spiritual essence has entered my mouth. Old Ji, how about you help me suck it out..."

Ji Li rolled his eyes instantly:
"Stupid."

Then he shook off Misa's hand, picked up the ring and sat back.

"Ah... stingy."

"There's something very dangerous in this thing, so stop talking nonsense."

"Okay...I'm sorry." The rabbit felt aggrieved.

Then he watched Ji Li put the ring into his pocket and not put it on, and he chuckled.

The food was served just at this moment, and two pots of hot Anton chicken were placed in front of the two of them.

Ji Li took a sniff and his appetite grew.

“Tsk, our Silla food is still delicious, the food from the daily life is expensive, unpalatable, and petty!”

Misha said this proudly, only to see Ji Li staring at her expressionlessly.

"…Am I wrong?"

"When I was having dinner with my friend in Hei Ri Fu, I praised their 'Seaweed Rice Roll' for being delicious and having the unique characteristics of Hei Ri Fu. Do you know how she answered me?"

"Ah? Does Heiri Mansion also have seaweed rice rolls?" Misa was confused for a moment. It seemed that that was not seaweed rice rolls, but... She had a bad feeling for a moment.

And Ji Li continued as expected:
"She said it was called 'sushi'."

Misa's face instantly turned red: "Ahem...ah...then...you're not embarrassed, are you?"

Ji Li took a tissue and wiped his mouth:

"I am a Shulong person, I have no shame."

Misa: “…”

"And it seems that Anton Chicken was also passed down from Shulongcai."

“…It’s a reference!”

"That's what people seem to say when they get caught plagiarizing paintings at art shows."

"Wuwuwu, please give me some face..."

"Be good and eat."

Ji Li did not go into this episode any further:

"What's this demonstration you were talking about?"

"Ah, you just came back and you don't know yet." Misa said while spitting out the chicken bone:

"I heard that someone from the capital came from the Special Management Bureau and came up with a special plan. The political circles of ordinary people have been affected. I'm afraid that the entire Aurora City's Reflection Walker world will undergo significant changes..."

“People from the capital are coming?”

Ji Li immediately took out the Special Management Bureau's mobile phone which was back online, checked the messages flying all over the place, and his eyes fixed.

"Yeah, speaking of this... Old Ji, have you watched Crimson Front recently?"

"what happened?"

"The people in the capital organized an awakened gathering. This should be the largest secret gathering in Aurora City in all these years. All the awakened forces, big and small, will participate... Well, can this still be considered a secret gathering?"

Then, Misa took out two beautifully decorated books as if by magic:

"I got two invitations. Old Ji, shall we go together?"

assembly?

Ji Li took the thing from Misha's hand and took a look. When he saw the person who signed the invitation, his expression suddenly became a little subtle.

"Qin?"

"Ah, a high-ranking official from Flash Street. This rally was organized by Flash Street. I heard that a committee was set up directly for this matter."

"Not only are there people from the capital, but also people from Flash Street, Gaoxing Group, the Special Management Bureau, the Guards, the City Hall... It's quite a big show."

"But in the end, Flash Street took the lead. The person they sent was this one called 'Qin'. You may have seen her. She's a socialite among the higher-ups. You can tell she's not a serious woman just by listening to her name! She's a very promiscuous person in private!"

This... I do understand this very well. Ji Li curled his lips and handed the invitation back to Bunny Girl:

"For such a big event, do you think the Special Management Bureau will not arrange it for me?"

"That's right..." Misa blinked.

"What is the reason for holding the rally?" Ji Li also opened the "Crimson Front" APP and started browsing it.

"It was said that it was to stabilize the situation in Aurora City and to announce the existence of the 'Descendant Walker Project'."

"What it is?"

"It's only been a short while since the news was released. I don't know much about it, but I think the Special Management Bureau should know more."

Misa said:
"There will definitely be quite a few people there. I asked my contact to help me take the lead. I'm thinking about whether I can find a skilled craftsman at the gathering to help me fix the knife."

Misa was talking about her saber.

Ji Li stopped eating for a while, picked up the mobile phones of Shanjie and the Special Management Bureau, and quickly flipped through them for a while, then put them down:

"Let's eat first."

……

After parting with Bunny Girl, Ji Li returned to Aries College first.

The upcoming changes in Aurora City can be learned from Qin and the Special Management Bureau, but the more important thing for him now is what happened to the Door of Flesh and Blood.

Today is a school day and there are quite a few people in the school right now.

As he walked into the school gate, Ji Li saw a club's booth nearby. Many people were gathered there, talking incessantly about something.

Just look at the name of the club, it’s the Paranormal Research and Investigation Club.

Ji Li remembered that the urban legend forum of Aries College was organized by this club.

He frowned slightly, but had no intention of going forward to watch. Instead, he returned to the activity room of his small base.

As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into a pair of long legs in black stockings. With a scream, Ji Li caught the student council president who fell from mid-air with his backhand, and held the wooden stool that the other person was standing on and placed it aside.

With just a few steps, he put the other person down.

Che Li, who was wearing a school uniform, stared at Ji Li blankly. Then she reacted, took a step back with a slightly red face, and coughed lightly:
"……Thanks."

"Nothing. But what are you doing?"

Ji Li turned his head and looked at the bucket and some cleaning utensils placed in the middle of the room. He immediately understood and said with a smile:
"Thank you very much."

"It's okay. I happen to be free today. And your place is quite sensitive to the school construction department. It's the most appropriate time for me to help."

Ji Li nodded:

"That's thoughtful, eh."

Then he handed over a gift box that he had thrown aside:

"A little gift."

"Ah, thank you!" Che Li's face was a little surprised, "Have you been to the Black Sun Mansion recently? No wonder you disappeared for several days..."

"Something happened." Ji Li nodded, and then glanced out the window:
"By the way, what are the clubs doing out there?"

Upon hearing this, Che Li showed a helpless look on her face:

"Today is the monthly special activity day for the club. If you are talking about the psychic club outside...it was actually not possible to hold activities of this scale before."

"It's just that the school has recently suddenly relaxed the restrictions on the Supernatural Club, and I don't know what happened. Recently, he has been jumping around in various clubs, causing a headache for the school..."

Ji Li walked to the refrigerator and opened it:

"Want something to drink?"

"Ah, no need! In fact, I've almost finished cleaning and I'm ready to leave."

Che Li was very sensible. She could see that Ji Li was in a hurry and was obviously going to do something.

After moving the cleaning supplies away with Ji Li who came forward to help, Che Li suddenly said:
"Speaking of which... do you know about the recent major events in your area?"

Ji Li raised his eyebrows:
"what happened?"

"Recently, my family suddenly asked me to attend a banquet..."

Looking at Che Li rummaging in her bag, Ji Li Li said, "No way."

Then a familiar invitation appeared in front of Ji Li:
"Because I am required to dress up, I am currently lacking a male companion..."
