Soul Trigger

Chapter 232 Method (I)

"Deputy Director, this is no joke!"

The head of the medical team, who had been debugging the equipment nearby, interrupted:

"Director Xiaofu's condition is very serious. This is not just an ordinary serious injury. The essence that has been burned can only be relied on by his own will and soul! It is almost impossible to replenish it with external forces!"

I can only rely on my own will... Ji Li's eyes flashed with spiritual essence, and he glanced at this buddy with admiration -

If Ji Li had only been thinking about whether he could try relying on Soul Mach before, and was not sure whether it could be of any help to Han Xiaofu.

These words gave him confidence.

After all, Soul Mach, to put it bluntly, is meant to greatly strengthen the person being cast, thereby achieving the so-called "healing" effect.

Ji Li was thinking in his mind, but Wang Guocheng glared at the medical team leader who was talking next to him:
"Can't you see that I'm just trying to make things difficult for this kid? Do you have any good eyesight? It's not your turn to interrupt."

You are a really honest person...

Ji Li's mouth twitched, he took a step forward and said:

"I can try, but my essence is damaged, and you know how serious the situation is."

"Are you backing out already? Are you trying to make excuses for yourself by mumbling a few words?" Wang Guocheng frowned.

"No, I'm just stating the Director General's injuries. Since such a serious injury was cured by me, then isn't the pie you just painted a little too small?"

Wang Guocheng frowned:
"You mean, you can become the deputy director in five years without my support? Is that what you mean?"

"Isn't the answer obvious?"

Yan Xiyu, who had been watching this scene from the side, sighed and took a step forward:
"Hey, Ji Li..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent spiritual pressure spread throughout the room, scaring the director of the Internal Affairs Department and the leader of the medical team next to him.

A large number of instruments were dripping, the bottles next to them were swaying, and countless bottles and jars were shaking and colliding under this fierce spiritual pressure, making all kinds of fine and noisy noises.

At this moment, Wang Guocheng's eyes were already burning with blazing white spiritual essence, staring at Ji Li intently, and the aura of a peak master was clearly visible -

"Kid, I've worked in the Special Management Bureau for so many years, and I've taught and taught many juniors... You're the first one who dares to say such words in front of me with such an attitude..."

Ji Li gently fanned his hands:
"It's just a small matter. Why are you so angry?"

Seeing that he was not affected by his spiritual pressure at all, Wang Guocheng glanced at the cool girl who was biting her lips and had cold sweat dripping from her forehead, and immediately snorted:
"For Yan Xiyu's sake, I won't pressure you."

Then the spirit essence was collected:
"Just say what you want to say directly, don't play tricks on me."

Ji Li laughed:
"To be frank, the title of Director General is just a title. I think it would be best to let Director General Xiaofu wake up and continue to serve as the Director."

Wang Guocheng's expression improved a little: "You are good at talking, but if you can't cure it, I will fix your problem too."

"What I mean is that it doesn't matter whether I become the director-general or not. It's all in the future. But if I can cure Director Kosuke..."

A smile appeared on Ji Li's face:
"How about Deputy Director Wang listen to me in the Special Management Bureau from now on?"

Suddenly, everyone in the room stared at Ji Li and blinked.

Wang Guocheng showed a subtle expression:
"…You mean, you want me to be your subordinate?"

After seeing Ji Li nod, he opened his mouth and smiled:
"That's interesting... What do you mean you didn't get cured?"

Without waiting for Ji Li to speak, he said to himself:
"If you are not cured, you can stop being the Supervisor of the Disorders and come to work for my Operations Center. I happen to be in need of a captain."

"can."

The director of the Internal Affairs Department next to him was about to say something with an embarrassed look on his face, but Wang Guocheng waved his hand and said:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, just get treated quickly, and talk about it after you're done!"

Ji Li didn't say anything more. He came to Han Xiaofu and observed the situation briefly.

Yan Xiyu next to him gently tugged at his hand and looked at him inquiringly. The latter nodded slightly:
"I try my best."

Cool girl patted the back of his hand gently:

"No, don't force it. Just listen to what that old idiot Wang Guocheng says. Including him, all the important senior officials in the Special Management Bureau are our own people now."

"Relax, I know my limits."

Only then did the cool girl let go of her hand.

Looking at the little movements between the two, Wang Guocheng chuckled and was then pulled to the back by the Director of the Internal Affairs Department:
"I'm telling you, can you change this bad habit of yours? Even if Ji Li has the same bad temper as you, he is still someone that Director Xiaofu personally favors. And at your age, what if you let him drive you away?"

"Then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"?" Looking at Wang Guocheng who was acting out of character, the Director of the Internal Affairs Department was confused:

"Transgender?"

Wang Guocheng squeezed his big palm-leaf fan-like hand and asked, "Did your legs go weak just now?"

"?"

"How can anyone stand so steady and not react to the spiritual pressure of a peak master so easily?"

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department suddenly reacted and turned his head to look at Ji Li who was holding Han Xiaofu's wrist:
"At this age..."

"Yeah..." Wang Guocheng gradually released the surprise that he had hidden in his eyes, and he sighed:

"A peak master at this age... has he been an awakener for half a year? Even Shulong, the dragon-blooded one, is not at this level..."

The awakened are extraordinary beings born from desires and emotions. As long as they have strong enough desires and thoughts and emotions, it is not impossible for them to become the top master within a year.

But that is a rare existence. Ji Li's situation is rare in the world.

"If I remember correctly, he is affiliated with the Film Witch in Flash Street?"

"That's right. The Negative Witch does not belong to Flash Street, and her contacts are not included in the core files of Flash Street. Only the records remain."

"Then we need to adjust the time on his file in the bureau and make sure it is well protected so that no one with ulterior motives can find any clues." Wang Guocheng said seriously.

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department glanced at him:
"You say one thing and do another... Can't you just talk nicely to the young people?"

"Oh, what's wrong with knocking it? Besides, I've never seen it with my own eyes before, so I'm afraid you guys are just exaggerating, right?"

"Okay, okay, I'll ask the internal affairs department to make adjustments later."

Wang Guocheng ignored him and shouted at Ji Li:

"Hey, kid! You've been watching for a long time, why don't you start treating him?"

Ji Li was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He was using his spiritual essence to sense whether there were any clues on Han Xiaofu, such as any foreign spiritual residues or something like that.

After all, it is something that can seriously injure the peak master, so it is better to take a look at it before it is too late. Unfortunately, because Han Xiaofu's essence was damaged by the burning, his spiritual essence has been dissipating in his soul, constantly conflicting with Ji Li's own spiritual essence.

If he used too much force, the old lion would suffer internal injuries. So Ji Li simply gave up and launched the Soul Mach in front of everyone in the room.

In an instant, Wang Guocheng's eyes froze and he took two steps forward.

He felt that the spiritual essence in Han Xiaofu's body was recovering at an astonishing speed!
Then, ignoring the dissuasion of the medical team leader next to him, he tore off the bandage on Han Xiaofu's body, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed:

"Good! Good!"

The wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was as clean as new in the blink of an eye.

After tearing off the black gauze on Han Xiaofu's face, the traces of evil erosion completely disappeared.

The medical team members nearby were also stunned and quickly checked the physiological status monitored by the instrument:
"My injuries have healed... My body's physiological functions have returned to normal, and are even better than before..."

"What about the essence?" Wang Guocheng asked.

"The essence..." The leader of the medical team was a little dumbfounded: "The essence is also slowly recovering... But how is this possible!?"

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department was also a little stunned and looked at Ji Li:
"What kind of technique do you have? Can it cure this?"

Wang Guocheng was too lazy to care about that now, and slapped Ji Li on the shoulder:

"Sure enough, there are two brushes!"

The latter dodged with a quick move, looking at him meaningfully.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'll break my promise?"

Ji Li suddenly smiled:
"Then why don't you go and clean the toilet here?"

Wang Guocheng's face froze instantly. Yan Xiyu's mouth twitched and he turned his face away to hold back his laughter. He raised his hand with a stern face:
"Cleaning the toilet, right? Sure, I'll go in a minute. So how is Director Kosuke doing now? Can he wake up?"

The head of the medical team looked somewhat relieved, but still shook his head:

“…I can’t wake up yet, but I didn’t expect to be able to do this.”

He turned his head and looked at Ji Li: "I've really learned a lot today... Is that your unique spiritual core ability?"

Ji Li didn't say much about this, but Wang Guocheng kept asking:

"None of this is important. The most important thing now is how long it will take for Director Xiaofu to wake up."

Ji Li heard the urgency in the other party's words and raised his eyebrows:
"About the gathering?"

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department also gradually calmed down and looked gloomy:
"At present, the official purge is a foregone conclusion among Reflection Walker, and the news is spreading widely."

"It's just that due to Director Xiaofu's suppression of various secret societies and awakened organizations in the past, the past few days have been relatively calm. After all, our blockade of external information is quite strict."

"Even if Shanjie noticed something, given our cooperative relationship, they would not spread the news, and would not spread it to other awakened organizations."

Ji Li naturally understood immediately: "So if Director Lion fails to show up at the rally, the chain reaction caused by this phenomenon itself will be enough to deal a heavy blow to our authorities."

Yan Xiyu frowned:
"They can even use this to confirm Director Xiaofu's abnormality and put the blame on the Special Management Bureau for not reporting the situation. Add to that the accountability on the day of the pilgrimage. After all, only Luo Hu's body is not enough to get away with it in this situation."

The director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs nodded and said, "So Director Xiaofu must show up at the large-scale gathering in a few days, otherwise the situation will only get worse..."

Ji Li asked: "What about the guards? Has Quan Qixian returned?"

Yan Xiyu shook his head:
"No, but the Aurora City Guard has more disputes with the politicians and has its own backers."

"Although they have certain supervisory functions, they are also achieved by setting up positions in the Special Management Bureau. So they are different from us. Li Bingxiao is mainly targeting us this time."

"So..." Wang Guocheng slapped the instrument next to him and looked at the leader of the medical team:

"How long will it take before I wake up?"

The team leader was also under great pressure and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"…If we continue to treat at this frequency, it will take at least half a week to replenish our essence and enter a natural recovery state. If we want to wake up…it depends on what happens to Director Kosuke later."

"It could be as short as a week, or as long as half a month or even longer..."

"When that time comes, we should have already been farming in our rural office," said Yan Xiyu.

"You are probably not farming, but crawling around in the pigsty looking for evil spirits. I remember there is no large crop base next to Silla City." Ji Li added.

"What about you?" Yan Xiyu was dissatisfied. Why did she crawl around in the pigpen?

"Go back to school."

"Then I will be your school's physical education teacher and punish you to run 100 laps every day."

"What are you two doing here, acting like a double act?" The head of the Internal Affairs Department twitched.

"Okay, okay, the patient has been cured, but how do we resolve the issue of the rally? I'll call another meeting." Wang Guocheng waved his hand.

"How did you plan it originally?"

"What else can I plan? I told him that at worst I can go and kill that little bastard from the capital!"

Yan Xiyu immediately looked at Ji Li, who shrugged and said: You see, I'm not the only one who thinks so.

The Director of the Department of Internal Affairs said:
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Originally, we had planned that if Director Xiaofu really couldn't wake up, I would have to give up my position first."

"Then just like before, I will give concessions to the chaebols and see if I can get more support at the rally. However, I can't go to Gao Xing's side. Let someone from Yin Chi take my position, so that I can continue to be on good terms with Shan Street."

After all, Silver Pool Group and Flash Street have a good relationship.

"How did the people from Yinchi get in?" Ji Li asked.

"They also have connections in the political circle and can come to work in the Special Management Bureau. All operations are within the system. Although it is not open to the public, this is the only way for now..." The Director of the Internal Affairs Department was also helpless and was about to take off the hat he had just put on.

After all, the awakened ones have the final say with their fists. In order to restrain the people of Gaoxing, the action team once operated many internal affairs independently and were self-sufficient. His position in the Internal Affairs Department has become the "strategic resource position" that is easiest to restrain and has the least authority.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and Ji Li looked at Han Xiaofu on the bed and said thoughtfully:

"What if I dress up as Director Kosuke and attend the rally?"

Several people were stunned when they heard this, but the director of the Internal Affairs Department waved his hand and said:
"Most of those with good disguise skills are in covert operations and cannot be easily transferred back. Moreover, even if they have expertise in this area, they are not strong enough. Even those who are strong enough do not have expertise in this area..."

Wang Guocheng looked at Ji Li and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Ji Li did not speak, but flicked his wrist, and a reflective object flipped in the air and fell into his hand.

A modified fragment of the magic mirror activated by Hellfang Fumigation.

As he pointed the magic mirror fragment at Han Xiaofu, he mobilized his spiritual essence to connect with the other party's spiritual essence.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, his body began to distort. Layers of colored glaze overlapped on his body, and one could vaguely see his body widening and swelling.

As the glass-colored light completely exploded, the figure of "Han Xiaofu" appeared in the room, grinning:
"Is this okay?"

The director of the Internal Affairs Department was stunned for a long time, looked at Ji Li, then looked at Han Xiaofu on the bed, a touch of ecstasy flashed in his eyes:

“…Where’s the spiritual essence?!”

Ji Li raised his hand, and a golden spiritual essence appeared in his palm——

The magic mirror fragments can completely disguise the appearance of Yuuga Morihachi's "Heart Blade", let alone simpler spiritual essences.

"Good! Good!"

Wang Guocheng clapped his hands immediately: "Stand up straighter, look more arrogant... Perfect!"

The director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs pressed the issue, "How long can it last at most? What are its weaknesses?"

Ji Li said that if it is used once a day, it can last for about four hours. If it is turned on intermittently, the time can be extended in disguise.

Then he showed the fragment of the magic mirror at the moment, and his own shadow appeared in it:
"The weakness is that if there is a mirror or electronic device, the photo will show the user's original appearance."

The spell that Dianni left on the magic mirror fragments makes it impossible, and unnecessary, to inject foreign spiritual essence into the magic mirror fragments for use.

The disadvantage is that it can only last for four hours at most, and then you have to wait for the spell that Dianpo injected into it to be recharged.

The Director of the Internal Affairs Department thought for a moment: "Four hours... should be enough."

Wang Guocheng said, "Where did you get this good stuff? Why didn't you take it out earlier?!"

"This seems to be the magic mirror from last time..."

Yan Xiyu looked at Ji Li's familiar figure and was a little dazed for a moment.

The latter grinned at him, revealing Han Xiaofu's signature fangs:

"What's wrong, my dear girl?"

The cool girl came back to her senses instantly and rolled her eyes:

"Fuck off!"

"But there is still a problem..."

The director of the Internal Affairs Department quickly suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at Ji Li, who looked like Han Xiaofu:

"You don't seem to have any spy-related training. There is a possibility that you will be exposed. And if it involves Parliament, it will inevitably be exposed."

Ji Li returned to his original form and said, "I thought so too, so let Xiao Wang use this thing."

"Xiao Wang?"

Wang Guocheng was still wondering who Xiao Wang was, and then he saw Ji Li stuffing something into his hand, and he was stunned for a while:
"...You are quite good at giving nicknames, aren't you? Didn't you just call the Director General 'Lion'?"

Ji Li waved his hand and ignored these small details, and began to teach:
"First, aim at the object you want to simulate, and inject your spiritual essence into it to activate the spiritual essence inside."

Wang Guocheng injected spiritual essence as instructed, but something unexpected happened -

As the white spiritual essence entered the magic mirror fragments, a green light suddenly flashed.

There was a loud "crackling" sound like a short circuit, and Wang Guocheng withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and the fragments in his hand flew out.
