Soul Trigger

Chapter 230 Situation (II)

Ji Li opened the invitation and saw Qin's handwriting again. His mouth twitched immediately:
"Gaoxing Group?"

The invitation on the invitation is for Gaoxing Group.

Che Li smiled casually:
"She's just a little girl. Compared to you, she's not a big shot... So?"

Looking at the other party's expectant eyes, Ji Li said:
"I'm sorry, I have other plans for this matter, so I may not be able to be your male companion."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Che Li's eyes:
"Is that so... That's right, for someone as outstanding as you, you must have made arrangements long ago..."

"But..." Ji Li handed the invitation back to Che Li:
"I don't recommend you to attend this rally. As for the reason, I don't need to explain it, right?"

The student council president smiled:
"Understood. I will consider it carefully."

As the door closed, Ji Li wiped his hands across the spotless coffee table:

"The little girl is really serving... It's not a good idea to keep doing this. Why not let Black Box help with the cleaning?"

When Ji Li returned to Lingbo Prison, the scene he saw also surprised him a little -

Originally, apart from Ji Li's various spiritual circuit engraved props and some sundries, there was nothing in Lingboyu, but now there were some more things.

Carpets, sofas, tables and chairs, as well as some beautiful and elegant furniture.

In addition to this, it seemed as if the area of ​​the entire Lingbo Prison space had expanded a little, and it had already exceeded the area of ​​the final hall of the "Ice Prison" before it became his Lingbo Prison.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Black Goat!"

As Miss Black Box appeared in front of Ji Li and bowed, he looked at her:
"Did you do all this?"

"Yes!" Miss Black Box's sweet voice echoed in my ears:

"Your Limbo is a little empty, so I took the liberty of adding some furniture! I hope you don't mind!"

"Nothing, it's fine...but what is that thing?"

Ji Li pointed to a statue in the corner that looked like a "desperate man". It was carved out of black ice, but it was only half carved and the details were still blurry.

But that head and devil horns look really familiar.

"Ah! Speaking of which..."

Miss Black Box slapped her face sideways:
"I always feel that your own territory should have an object that represents you, right? Stately, imposing, majestic... Don't you like it? I can also replace it with something else..."

Ji Li supported his forehead:

"It's okay, as long as you're happy...but the area seems to have expanded a bit?"

"Yes! I discovered that your Soul Prison has a certain siphon effect, and it does not rely on your own spiritual growth! So I also threw all the evil creatures I hunted during this period here, and sure enough, the space has become larger!"

"sorry to bother you."

"It's ok!"

The various spontaneous activities of the black box inexplicably saved Ji Li a lot of worries. It seemed that the black box had become a "steward" of the territory temporarily sent by Film.

"No news yet, Miss Filin?"

Speaking of Dalei, Hei Xie looked a little depressed:

"Not yet... But I can always feel the connection between the Master and me, which means that she has not left Aurora City."

It was a rare boss to have this kind of boss, but the three things that Feilin had given him were indeed valuable enough.

A photo that can take the place of death, a personality shadow burster with two special abilities.

After greeting Black Box and declining the afternoon tea offered by the other party, Ji Li passed through the spiritual circuit channel and returned to the ruins of the Flesh and Blood Gate.

As soon as he entered the ruins of the Flesh and Blood Gate, Ji Li felt a sense of trance.

He glanced at the constantly changing spiritual circuits on the walls of the ruins. They maintained a certain frequency, breathing white light, and faintly emitted a faint calling.

As Ji Li went deeper, the calling became stronger and stronger. When he arrived at the giant sacrificial hall outside the Gate of Flesh and Blood, he found that the stone statues that he had smashed when he first entered here had all been restored to their original state.

But I didn't see the shadow of the super-large stone statue.

As his figure appeared, everyone raised their arms and half-knelt in a pilgrim posture.

"Is it because I passed through the Gate of Flesh and Blood... and is the Gate of Flesh and Blood considered a test?"

Ji Li could only try to guess this.

As his back was torn apart, the figure of the Desperate Man emerged from it and punched a stone statue.

The stone statue just knelt there, not dodging or evading, allowing the desperate man to smash it to pieces.

The other stone statues didn't even turn their heads to glance, and just remained on the ground as they were.

Is it because the desperate people themselves see themselves as part of me and therefore have no reaction?
Ji Li took out the dog-patterned ring given by Dian Po and put it on. As his spiritual essence was injected into it, it did not produce the strong rejection reaction like Misha, but a green light burst out and went towards the face of a stone statue——

This ring has some kind of spiritual circuit and the spiritual energy of Yuya Xun built inside. Ji Li did not choose to stimulate it according to the structure of the spiritual essence or the path of the spiritual circuit, but simply borrowed the spiritual power in it to produce a burst of energy.

In an instant, all the stone statues moved and rushed towards the ball of energy.

The stone statue that was regarded as the target even had red light shooting out from its head, but unfortunately it was the spirit of the monster Dianpo, which instantly penetrated the light and melted it into liquid on the ground, with a burst of violent green smoke rising and even sticking to the spot.

Seeing this, the other stone statues stopped where they were, and shot scarlet lasers from their heads, hitting the dark green spiritual essence.

With everyone's efforts, we finally managed to completely wipe it out.

"Not attacking me should be a kind of recognition, but other than the spiritual essence related to my soul, all foreign spiritual essences will be regarded as targets of attack..."

Ji Li summoned a black ice spider, but its presence also did not attract attacks from the stone statues.

"It can be considered as a group of inexplicable guardians, an extra layer of protection, but the cause is still unknown. I can find out the relevant information later."

He ignored the stone statues and came to the door of flesh and blood.

The little dragon in the side room still maintains its original appearance, without much change.

As for the door of flesh and blood, it remained the same as it was, with no signs of having been opened.

But the body of "Henson" that was originally lying next to it had disappeared, and in its place was a bulging bloody cocoon.

There seemed to be something in the big cocoon, emitting bursts of red light, and its surface kept undulating, as if something was gestating.

As Ji Li approached, he could feel a faint calling from inside, just like the spiritual circuits outside.

And this thing seemed to have a connection with him.

"Is it the new 'Henson'?"

Henson, this evil creature, originally existed in these ruins, but was controlled in some way by the "Soul Eater" at that time.

At present, Ji Li should have inherited the control of this evil creature in an orthodox way, and its appearance and soul may have begun to be reborn under certain rules.

At the same time, he could also sense a begging emotion coming from the other party——

hunger.

"I hope you'll look more like a human when you hatch."

Ji Li touched the surface of the big cocoon and quickly left the ruins.

When he came back, he was already dragging a disheveled eight-legged monster in his hands.

They fished it out from the next door Prison of Souls. After all, there was a cluster of Prisons of Souls in the reflection world of Aries College.

He casually threw the evil creature towards the blood cocoon, and a large number of blood-colored vines burst out from the bottom of the blood cocoon, wrapping the evil creature tightly inside and out and pulling it in.

The evil scream stopped abruptly, and the blood cocoon's hungry begging gradually disappeared.

"Do I have to work as a nanny part-time?" Ji Li walked around the blood cocoon and saw that nothing had happened. He then confirmed the situation of the flesh and blood gate before leaving the ruins.

After finishing all the things that needed to be done, Ji Li returned to his small base in the activity room, sat on the sofa and called Yan Xiyu:

"Where the hell have you been?!"

Ji Li moved the Special Management Bureau's phone a little further away:
"Something happened. I heard that there has been some changes in Aurora City recently?"

Yan Xiyu was breathing heavily, obviously because of the shout just now. After a while, she sighed:

"It's not an accident, it's a big accident. Where are you now?"

"Aries College."

"I'll tell Jasmine to pick you up right away."

……

When he returned to the Special Management Bureau and walked into the familiar Operations Planning Room, Ji Li saw Yan Xiyu sitting at his previous workstation, a cigarette in his mouth, and shaking his legs a little uneasily.

Seeing Ji Li's figure appear at the door, she quickly stood up and greeted him:
"Where the hell have you been these past few days?! You've only been in office for half a month and you're already disappearing?! Can you see how many times I called you?!"

"I went to Flash Street, Aries College, and even Jin Misha's place. I almost listed you as a missing person, didn't you know that?"

"Calm down, calm down. If I could, I wouldn't want to disappear all of a sudden. Who knows, something unexpected might happen..."

Ji Li raised his hand to signal the other party to calm down first:

"Here, a little gift for you."

"?"

Yan Xiyu looked at the gift box that Ji Li handed over, and was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of anger rose in his eyes:
"I've been looking for you here for several days. I'm exhausted and tired, but do you know that the bureau is in a mess because of the people coming from the capital? And you actually went to Black Sun Mansion to travel?!"

"What are you talking about? This trip was life or death, and we almost had an accident." Ji Li raised the gift box in his hand:
"Really not?"

"do not want!"

"Okay, then I'll keep it for Misa. She seems to like this snack very much..."

Yan Xiyu's eyes narrowed, and he snatched the box with the drawstring and placed it on the table.

Ji Li: “?”

Yan Xiyu: "I changed my mind."

Ji Li immediately laughed and said, "You may say something fishy but your body is honest."

Then he stuffed another box into her hand.

"What is this?"

"Specialty tobacco, smoke less, you don't have an iron lung."

"Then why are you giving it to me?" Ku Niu looked down and saw a pack of Hei Ri Fu tobacco, the packaging of which looked very expensive.

"Then we can only smoke the good ones."

"Humph……"

Yan Xiyu put the cigarette box aside and was about to pull Ji Li to talk business, but his eyes fell on his ring finger. He immediately grabbed his wrist and picked it up, his expression solemn:

"…From Misa?"

You're coming too, right?
"Do you think she's the type to give something like this?"

Ji Li pulled his hand out of Ku Niu's claws, then took off the ring and threw it back into his pocket.

I didn't take it off when I was doing experiments in the ruins.

"Who sent that? Don't tell me you went to the Black Sun Mansion just to get engaged!"

"A new friend who will kill me if I don't wear it."

"Male and female?"

"Crazy."

"?"

"so……"

Ji Li turned around and sat in the comfortable office chair:

"What happened? I think I learned something from the rabbit, but not much."

The topic turned to business. Ku Niu was not the kind of person who liked to dwell on love affairs, so she said seriously:

"Li Bingxiao, the senior official who came down from the capital this time."

"He wants to use what happened on the previous Pilgrimage Day to purge the official awakeners in the entire Aurora City and hold all the senior officials accountable."

Ji Li frowned: "So, this hurdle has finally come. Director Lion is still missing..."

Yan Xiyu suddenly glanced at him and coughed lightly:
"No, Chief Kosuke is back..."

"came back?"

"Remember the deputy director who was out there tracking down the Tower of Babel?"

"Operations Director, remember."

"He brought Chief Kosuke back...but there's bad news."

"dead?"

Yan Xiyu rolled his eyes instantly:

"He's seriously injured and unconscious! Do you really want him to die?"

Ji Li shrugged: "Wouldn't you be able to get promoted this way?"

"Don't tell such a joke!" Yan Xiyu gave him a crutch:

"Accountability is only part of the problem. Li Bingxiao has the Capital Investigation Bureau backing him up. He has invited all Awakened organizations, big and small, from across Aurora City to hold a large rally in a few days."

"When the time comes, he will unite with the chaebol and Flash Street to put pressure on the Special Management Bureau and make public one of his plans."

Then, she took out an invitation from her bosom and handed it to Ji Li:

"It's on Flash Street, and they require you to dress up. We'll go together then."

Are you coming too?
Ji Li took the invitation and found that it was indeed Qin's signature.

"Then Director Kosuke won't show up?"

Yan Xiyu was silent for a while:
"I'm afraid we have to show up, but he's seriously injured and unconscious... It's not likely to be a good thing. We're still discussing this matter, and there will definitely be more than just the two of us going."

"By the way, there's also this."

Yan Xiyu handed over another thing, which was a list.

"Li Bingxiao intends to take back some of the jurisdiction from Flash Street. You might want to take a look."

Ji Li opened the list, his brows froze, and then he frowned——

The name of Aries College is clearly visible.
