Soul Trigger

Chapter 235 Admission (Part )

Ji Li smiled and blinked as a response.

The woman nodded and bowed to the people from the Special Management Bureau:
"Please enjoy your dinner today. Excuse me."

After this little episode, those dense gazes withdrew and the atmosphere seemed to return to being warm, but there were still many peeping eyes directed this way.

Watching the woman walking away, Yan Xiyu cast a suspicious look:

"acquaintance?"

"I guess so. But come to think of it, we are really welcome. Is this the treatment that the Special Management Bureau gets when they attend such events?"

"If it was in the past, the moment we exited the elevator and entered the Lingbo Prison, someone would have come up to us and licked our asses." Yan Xiyu said:
"Although the Special Management Bureau does not attend such occasions very often, this is indeed the first time we have been treated like this."

"...I think the atmosphere they were looking at just now was indeed a little off." Glasses' smile was a little stiff -

Although he is also an agent, he works as a technician and is not used to this kind of situation.

Li Shuncheng next to him was in a different state. He glared back at everyone with a stern look.

"Should we let Director Xiaofu take this passage to attract some firepower?" Glasses said embarrassedly.

"It's really embarrassing for our Special Management Bureau that the Director General takes the ordinary guest channel." Li Shuncheng snorted coldly and glanced at his glasses.
"Stand up, you otaku! We are not here to eat, drink and have fun today."

"understand……"

As the group dispersed as planned, Yan Xiyu and Ji Li also walked towards the main entrance to the atrium:

"Li Bingxiao has built up momentum in advance. Almost the entire Aurora City knows about the liquidation of the senior management of the Special Management Bureau."

"Most of the scumbags in the courtyard now are organizations and secret societies that were previously under the jurisdiction of the Special Management Bureau. They are just fence-sitters who are here to watch the fun."

Yan Xiyu's voice came to his ears. Ji Li's eyes swept over the three or two people around him. Many peeping eyes were in his direction. He smiled and said:

"Besides, the situation in the bureau makes it unrealistic to recruit new people for promotion. After all, the current middle-level managers are all Director Xiaofu's people. Even if they are from other factions, they are not in the same group with them."

"So if Li Bingxiao succeeds in clearing the system, he will also find a way to parachute in new senior executives. Many of these people are here to build good relationships with the future new Special Management Bureau team."

"That's right. Look to the left, the 'Mist Hunter Guild' you just mentioned."

Ji Li looked at the old man and the young man in the crowd on the side.

Although he is called an old man, he is actually more like a middle-aged man, with short gray hair and a tough look. His suit is bulging with muscles.

The young man next to him seemed a little impatient. His fingers holding the champagne turned white, and his eyes kept darting around as if he was looking for something, looking a little nervous.

"Type II Peak Overlord, Hunter Guild President Gao Zaiming, and his chief disciple."

"What's the point?"

Ji Li reached out and took a glass of champagne from the plate of a passing waiter and handed it to Yan Xiyu. The latter pouted to indicate that he didn't want it, so he drank it all and put it back.

Yan Xiyu said:

"The Hunter's Guild is an organization that was founded by Director Xiaofu. If the Mist Hunter's Guild wants to operate in the Reflection World, both hunter identity certification and exploration permits require certification procedures from the Special Management Bureau."

Ji Li understood: "Although the safe houses set up by the Hunter Guild in the Reflection World are not as good as the safe houses set up by the Special Management Bureau itself, they can also reduce the risks of agent activities and maintain supplies in special circumstances."

Yan Xiyu nodded slightly: "That's it."

Ji Li had only come into contact with the "Mist Hunters", a group of awakened people whose main activity was exploring the reflection world, once, which was when he first entered Aries College in the "Ice Prison" Linglin Prison.

"This old man used to send his disciples to the Special Management Bureau whenever he had something to do. I have met that guy a few times. But after the Pilgrimage Day incident, this old man started to distance himself from the Special Management Bureau."

"Now they are keeping their distance and trying to flatter people coming from the capital... a typical fence-sitter." Ji Li commented.

"After all, they have to eat with the officials, which is understandable. After all, they are people from the capital."

Although he said so, Yan Xiyu sneered:
"Most of the senior executives or leaders of the organizations present here agree with his idea. They all hope to have a good relationship with the big shots from the capital. As for us, in their eyes, we are just the remnants of the defeated army who are about to be exiled away from the core circle."

"If 'Director Kosuke' hadn't shown up today, I'm afraid there would be more than just that little trick just now."

At this moment, there was a commotion from the side of the atrium. Following a few vague exclamations, some male guests nearby unconsciously moved towards that side.

The disciple of the old hunter mentioned by Yan Xiyu had his eyes shining. He said a few words to his master, then walked quickly to the side with a champagne in his hand.

"It seems that an important person has arrived... Let's go in first." Yan Xiyu retracted his gaze and gradually quickened his pace.

At this moment, the two of them had arrived at the entrance, and many men and women began to enter, arm in arm with each other.

Ji Li also stretched out his wrist towards Ku Niu, who glanced at him:
"It's not like I'm really here for the dinner."

Then he put his hands in front of him.

Don't pull.

Ji Li spread his hands and decided not to hold it.

At this time, a waiter passed by. Ji Li just stretched out his left hand to take a glass of champagne, but felt his right arm being suddenly grabbed.

He immediately turned his head and looked at Yan Xiyu:

"Aren't you going to pull it?"

The cool girl looked straight ahead with her pair of red eyes, as if she didn't hear anything.

The next moment, Ji Li heard the sound of footsteps coming from the left rear -

"Wow, Old Ji! You guys are here!!"

Jin Misha pushed through the crowd and rushed over. Her flesh wrapped in high socks trembled slightly with her steps. She covered her chest with her small hands as she ran wildly.

Ji Li turned his head and looked at her running all the way over with a strange look on his face:
"What the hell are you wearing?"

"what?"

Rabbit stopped and looked at his school uniform, with an embarrassed look on his face:

"Hehe... school ended a little late today, so I didn't have time to change... but school uniforms are also considered formal wear!"

As he was speaking, his eyes fell on Ji Li's right wrist and he was stunned for a moment:
"…Where the hell did this woman come from?!"

Yan Xiyu glanced at her and tightened his hold on Ji Li's hand:
"good evening."

"No...you guys!!!"

Bunny Girl looked at Ji Li, then at Yan Xiyu, and then at Ji Li again:
"Old Ji, you lied to me! You clearly said that the idiot had plans and that's why he didn't take a female companion!"

Yan Xiyu nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, this is the arrangement of the bureau."

Ji Li glanced at her speechlessly——

I was wondering why you suddenly got involved. Is your rabbit radar pretty effective?
Misha immediately became dissatisfied and grabbed Ji Li's other arm and shoved it into her arms. Ji Li was shaking the champagne and almost spilled it.

Yan Xiyu turned his head and glared:
"This is official business, don't mess around..."

Rabbit started right away: "You do your job, and I'll hold my old Ji, there's no conflict, hehe."

"you……?"

"Why are you two arguing over such a small matter? You're not really here to attend the dance."

Ji Li patted Misha’s head.

But the latter suddenly stood on tiptoe and bit him, smacking his face with saliva.

Then she hugged him tightly, pressed her plump chest against him, and winked at Yan Xiyu slyly.

Ji Li instantly felt a force like an iron clamp on his right wrist. He turned his head and saw Yan Xiyu's murderous eyes. The corner of his mouth twitched:
"Can you be gentler..."

"Then why don't you go and explain it to her first?" Yan Xiyu whispered in a low voice, holding Ji Li's fingers even tighter.

"Would you like to kiss me too?"

"Dream on! (No!)"

The two said almost in unison.

Ji Li glanced at the two of them speechlessly, then glanced around at the many interested eyes that seemed to be around.

Before Yan Xiyu could react, he lifted her head and gently pressed her forehead through her bangs:
boo.

"Okay, let's go in."

"Old Ji! You!!!"

Ji Li clamped the threatening rabbit girl, but failed to pull Yan Xiyu, so he turned his head and looked.

The cool girl's face was already red at this moment, and she looked at him with dull eyes.

Ji Li gently pulled her: "What's wrong?"

"There are so many people around..."

Her voice was trembling, the color on her face was spreading, and even her legs were shaking.

The society is dead.

"You two have had enough drama today, come in..."

But before he finished speaking, Ji Li heard a surprised female voice coming from the front:
"that……"

Ji Li turned his head and saw a girl in a pure white dress standing beside them staring blankly at the three of them. Ji Li's mouth twitched immediately:
"Good evening...Cureli."

Che Li was stunned, and then a complicated look swept over the three people:
"Good evening...Student Ji Li."

Then he forced a smile:
"Three of you...why don't you go in first? It seems...there are too many people here."

The rabbit was confused. He felt that the person in front of him looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Then I remembered that it seemed to be Ji Li's classmate, the student union president.

Then he was shocked:

I'm so excited, this one too! ?

Then his eyes suddenly turned dangerous, and he tightened his grip on Ji Li——

Humph, a mere mortal...

But she thought about it again and felt it was not right: How did this ordinary person get in? Bunny Girl was brainstorming, and Yan Xiyu, who was standing next to her, heard Che Li's words. Before he could think about the relationship between this person in front of him and Ji Li, his whole face was completely covered with blood.

There are too many people... There are too many people... It’s over, my head seems a little dizzy...

At this moment, the voice of Glasses came from the communication headset hidden in her ear, which she cut off instantly. The bright red immediately spread from her little face to the base of her neck——

Even my subordinates saw it!!!

Ji Li, who saw her current state, gently elbowed her and said, "Don't worry, no one is looking over here."

"......You still say!!!" Yan Xiyu twisted Ji Li's wrist viciously.

But in fact, no one really cared about what these people were doing at this moment, because for the people around them, something even more exciting was coming -

"Ms. Qin!"

The corner of Ji Li's mouth twitched again, and he turned his head to see the old hunter's disciples and a large group of people chasing him quickly from the courtyard around the side of the entrance.

Surrounded by two girls, the blonde Qin in a dress was walking slowly towards the entrance.

A backless sequined dress, crystal earrings with chains hanging under the elf ears, a sky-blue diamond-shaped gem pendant on the snow-white neck, and chains adorning the wrists. Roma walks gracefully, her light gold outfit shining.

But perhaps because the scale of today's rally was not small, it was much more conservative than the previous activities inside Flash Street. The hem of the dress without slits wrapped around the body reached the calf.

At this moment, her gaze was directed at Ji Li in the crowd. Under the soft golden hair hanging beside her cheek, her watery eyes gradually narrowed.

"Where did this slutty bitch come from?"

Hearing the rabbit's voice beside his ear, Ji Li glanced at her but said nothing.

"This is the organizer..."

Che Li came closer and whispered.

Yan Xiyu quickly recovered from his state of social despair, glanced at the rabbit and said:

"Although I agree with your statement, she is a Type 3 Overlord."

"What's the use? You can't beat Old Ji." Rabbit patted Ji Li confidently, and the latter nodded:
"That's true."

I definitely can't win in bed.

As she was talking, Qin had already walked to the entrance not far ahead and suddenly stopped at the main door.

The group of bootlickers chasing behind also stopped and squeezed into the atrium below. Although they were standing, they looked serious and solemn. There were people from various organizations and forces, big and small.

Ji Li also saw that the people from the Gaoxing Group, which had previously clashed with the Yinchi Group, also gathered around with great interest, and the chief disciple of the old hunter was chasing after them.

Well-behaved dogs are indeed very charming.

But Qin didn't say much as she stood still. Her long, shiny nails gently picked up the champagne glass from the waiter's tray and raised it slightly towards the bottom. Then her eyes vaguely fell on Ji Li's side:
"Everyone, the dinner hasn't officially started yet, so I wish you all a good time."

Then she took a sip, raised the glass gently, gracefully turned sideways amid the cheers of some men, walked into the entrance with two female subordinates, and turned her head to glance down seductively.

Ji Li blinked at her, Qin Ze hummed barely perceptibly, then quickened her pace and left.

...Did they really all happen tonight?

"Did she just glance at me?"

"I think she was just checking the guests out as a courtesy."

"I've seen that look before. There must be someone here who is familiar to Miss Qin."

"Master Park is right here. Apart from him, is there anyone else who deserves a second look from the Peak Overlord?"

In the crowd, a handsome man in a silver suit raised his glass to the eyes of everyone around him, and then walked in elegantly with a few people in black suits.

Judging from the direction it went in, it was obviously heading towards Qin.

Ji Li certainly wouldn't look at these lickers any more. He just took a sip of the wine glass speechlessly, then he realized that the champagne in it had been spilled during the rabbit girl's embrace just now, and immediately glanced at the rabbit.

Then he found that Misa was also staring at him:
"Old Ji, I think that woman is looking at you."

"He does have an affair with her." Yan Xiyu said coldly.

Misa's eyes widened instantly, and Kurari next to her also looked incredulous:

"what?"

"He said so himself."

"what?"

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the side.

The old hunter's disciple looked at Ji Li and rubbed the champagne that had sprayed out of his mouth:

"Brother, you've got three girls in your arms, so bragging like this doesn't make you look that great, does it?"

Misa's eyes narrowed: "Where did this idiot come from? Does it have anything to do with you?"

The disciple choked and immediately stopped smiling and snorted. He was too lazy to bother with a wild awakener like Rabbit who was running towards him in a school uniform, and walked straight towards the entrance.

Che Li coughed lightly:
"If I remember correctly... some of the cocktail menus at Miss Qin's banquet seemed to be provided by classmate Ji Li, right?"

"Business dealings? Why haven't you, Old Ji, shown me any of your skills?" Misha wondered.

"I want to show you my skills, but some people drink a little whiskey and then just fall asleep on the sofa until dawn. It's a shame for the awakened."

Misha's face suddenly turned red: "Not every awakened person can drink..."

Che Li continued to explain what Misa said, "It should be a business transaction. When I was helping classmate Ji Li clean up his room, I saw the things on his bartender."

As a result, Tu Zi and Yan Xiyu turned their heads instantly, and their cold gazes made Che Li tremble:
“…What, what happened?”

"Tidy up the room?" Misa's eyes turned cold.

"What's on his bartender?" Yan Xiyu said in a low voice.

Ji Li: "Do you two need me to kiss you again in turn?"

The two of them came back to their senses in an instant: "No!"

"Okay, let's go in."

Then he let go of the two people and walked inside.

Yan Xiyu and Misha looked at each other, and the latter crossed her arms:
"armistice!"

"Fool……"

Yan Xiyu was too lazy to pay attention to her.

……

The venue chosen by Li Bingxiao was the Lingwei Prison in the Flashing Hotel. After eliminating the official forces from the entire Aurora City, only Flash Street could support such a huge rally venue.

At this moment, the original Flash Street Hall has been completely reconstructed and turned into a reception center, and the surrounding space layout has also changed, and the overall space layout has also undergone tremendous changes.

In addition to providing hospitality, changes were made to keep the original structure of Flash Street secret because there were so many outsiders.

At this moment, the first floor of Shan Street is divided into two floors, the outer floor is divided into several branch venues and many functional spaces, such as small auctions, trading centers and various entertainment venues.

The main venue in the center is the focus of tonight.

The main venue is not open yet at this moment. Before the dinner starts, people will only come and go in the branch venue.

The final dinner list was also left on the invitation, and not everyone was eligible to attend Li Bingxiao's final dinner.

For most people, their purpose is to use this large gathering to exchange intelligence, conduct various transactions and expand their network.

"Yan Jing and the others have also come in. Everything is normal now." Yan Xiyu's voice appeared in the headphones.

"Team A has been here for a while with Chief Prosecutor Jiang Zhenhe. They are at the meeting place on the west side. Li Bingxiao is there."

Ji Li said softly, turning on the small instrument in his clothes:
“I turned on visual sharing.”

As Yan Xiyu felt a slight pain in her mind, a brand new vision appeared in her field of vision——

The artificial psychic prop from the Equipment Department can share senses. Currently, Ji Li only shares the vision from the split personality.

From the perspective of "Han Xiaofu", he could see Li Bingxiao and others contacting people from a certain force. Coincidentally, in the crowd, Ji Li saw the leader of the Mist Hunter, Gao Zaiming, but he did not see the figure of his chief disciple.

In addition, there are several people from Gaoxing Group and Yinchi Group.

"I saw him... The man with gray hair on his temples and slicked back hair is Li Bingxiao."

Ji Li's eyes were fixed on a cold man who was chatting in the crowd. The man had a handsome appearance, was wearing a suit, and had a female companion by his side.

"The woman next to him is his secretary Jenny. There are some signs that she might be his lover."

"The pretentious man wearing sunglasses at the back is an elite member of SIA (Capital Intelligence and Investigation Bureau), a Type III master. He is traveling with Li Bingxiao this time."

"The skinny man in a black suit and the man in a printed suit and gas mask at the back don't have any information. They should be Li Bingxiao's own people. They should both be top masters."

"In addition, there is another person mentioned in the intelligence who has not appeared. All units should pay attention."

As Yan Xiyu finished explaining the important goals to the team members in the channel, Ji Li also cancelled sensory sharing.

"The situation is not optimistic. The Gaoxing Group is fine, but the regional commander of the Silver Fox Group should be there too. Although Flash Street is neutral, the Silver Pool Group will not miss the opportunity to befriend Li Bingxiao. With the addition of other large and small organizations, our voice will not be very loud at the banquet."

Yan Xiyu's voice was solemn.

"I created a clone just for this purpose. Don't worry. Now I just need to confirm one last thing..."

Che Li brought several brochures from the reception hall in front:
"Student Ji Li, this should be the plan you want."

The two took the manual and saw a line of large characters on the beautifully bound book:

【Descendant Walker Project】.

As the text was opened, the two quickly browsed through the contents:
"really……"

Ji Li raised his head and exchanged glances with Yan Xiyu:
"Tower of Babel."
