Soul Trigger

Chapter 257 Split
Che Canhao was almost petrified on the spot, and then subconsciously covered his sister's eyes——

There were a lot of shit going on in the chaebol circle, and there were a lot of evil-hearted people. After coming into contact with the world of awakeners, he had seen some bizarre ways of death.

But the man who shot him in the head in front of him made him feel more shocked than stunned.

Ji Xu also stared blankly at the corpse with a big hole on the side of its head, his mouth slightly open, his eyes trembling, and he didn't react for a long time -

He didn't expect that this brother who had just escaped would shoot himself directly.

Misa, who was not far away, opened her mouth, as if she subconsciously wanted to say something, but out of respect, she forced herself to close her mouth.

But the white rabbit next to her curled her lips, and Misha, fearing that she would say something shocking again, immediately covered her mouth tightly.

However, the mutation does not seem to stop because of death——

The dead man's chest suddenly arched, and he lifted his body abruptly with a strong breath coming from his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a strong bloody distortion erupted on his body, and a painful roar came from his mouth.

In a flash, everyone saw only the flash of a knife, and the monster that was about to transform was instantly split in two, with blood pouring all the way onto the wall.

Ji Li raised the blade high with an expressionless face, then suddenly put it away.

“Old Ji is always so decisive…” Misha breathed a sigh of relief as she held the white rabbit, dispersing the spiritual essence that was about to rise in her hands.

Ji Xu was startled, and a hint of fear flashed across his eyes as he looked at Ji Li:
"This is an agent from your Special Management Bureau? How dare you..."

"If this were outside, there would be room for everything. But he is already dead, and the one that crawls out of his body will definitely not be him anymore."

Ji Li squatted down in front of the corpse, and found an ID card from the tattered agent's uniform. He gently tore it off and put it in his arms:
"The Predator was responsible for his death, and I will avenge him. Tell me, what's wrong with you? What's the current situation here?"

Che Canhao, who was standing next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put down his hand that was covering his sister's face, only to find that Che Li had already gotten rid of his cover and was staring at the scene in front of her.

"Sister?"

Che Li looked at Ji Li with a complicated expression:

"Have you discovered... that he is actually very gentle at heart?"

Che Chanhao: “?”

He glanced at the blade in Ji Li's hand that was still bleeding and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Ji Xu looked at Ji Li with a complicated expression, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

But no matter what, he was indeed saved by the other party at the moment, and said gloomily:

"Thank you for your help... But no matter what, you killed my teacher, and this fact will not change..."

"You mean I should have cut you with the knife just now?"

"No! What I mean is..." Ji Xu panicked for a moment and gritted his teeth:

"...Right now, the first thing to think about is escaping. However, I don't know much, there are only three key points..."

“The space here is constantly changing. Whether you want to find the exit or the nest master, it is extremely difficult... This is the first point.

Second, the people who were pulled into this hell had very strange reactions.

From what I have seen along the way, some people could not wake up after sleeping, some developed internal split personality, and some people directly split another self from their body. There are three symptoms in total.

Third, the monsters here are not ordinary evil. Although their spiritual reactions are not strong, they have been strengthened in some way here, just like predators...

As for the 'boss' he mentioned...I didn't see him, it must have happened before he met me..."

After listening to the other party's story, Ji Li looked at Misha beside him.

The latter immediately understood Ji Li's intention, grabbed the other self who was still pulling his hair and said:

"It's almost the same. After I sensed that the mark I left on you was triggered, I jumped all the way here through shadows. I don't know the specific situation as well as he does... Damn it, let me go!"

"…Can you keep your newborn twins under control?"

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Misha to react, Bai Misha pressed the original Misha into her armpit, and regardless of the latter's frantic struggle with a mouthful of "shiba", she showed a well-behaved smile.

It’s not impossible... Ji Li rubbed his forehead.

Che Canhao, who was standing next to him, had a silver light flashing in his eyes as he analyzed Ji Xu's information:

"The rule of the Avengers' Limbo should correspond to the rule of the Avengers' Limbo. After reuniting with the core nest, a phenomenon occurred that split a person into two... One is in the Avengers' dream nest, and the other is in another nest."

Che Li also followed his train of thought and said, "But Ji Li has already killed the Avengers... these people should have woken up."

"It has been a while since I saw the last sleeper." Ji Xu nodded reluctantly and glanced at Ji Li cautiously.

"As for the internal split personality...it shouldn't be her situation that we're talking about, right?" Che Li looked at the black and white rabbit that had returned to its competitive state.

"She should be the latter, and she split directly. The other type has not been seen so far. This should also correspond to the rules of the two corresponding Lingbao Prisons.

Regardless of how many people there are on the Mouthpiece side, judging from this, the other side should still have three or four predators alive at the moment. As for Yan Xiyu's situation... Misha!"

As Ji Li shouted, two heads turned at the same time.

"My name is Jin Misa."

"I am! (I am!)" they said in unison.

Ji Li twitched his lips:
“The original one.”

“I am the original (I am the original).”

The two spoke again in unison, and then looked at each other:
"She's a pirated copy (I'm the genuine article)."

"Gray hair!" Ji Li couldn't bear it anymore.

"Why didn't you call me!" Bai Misha curled her lips instantly.

"Now may not be the time to play bunny house with you two. Can your spirit essence support me to travel through time and space and find the owner of the nest?"

"That might be a little difficult." The rabbit shook his head:
"The space here is huge. It's fine for me to travel alone, but if I bring someone with me, my spiritual essence won't last long..."

"Have you forgotten that there is me here?" The white rabbit looked at Misa with disdain.

"You speak as if your soul essence from my Well of Souls has doubled just because you took it for free!"

Misha grabbed her rabbit ears, and she instantly tore a bloody crack and jumped behind Ji Li, grinning:
"Do you feel that your spiritual essence has decreased?"

Misa was stunned for a moment: "Really..."

"Just stay away, you useless bastard. Ji Li has me, and that's enough..."

Ji Li raised his hand to block Bai Misha's rabbit claw and looked at the other party:

"Even the soul has been split apart?"

Bai Misha smiled confidently:
"I don't know the details...but she is the one I split out of."

In the eyes of Misa and others, Bai Misa is an individual split due to the rules of the Lingbo Prison here. From the perspective of soul psychology, he should be classified as a malicious derivative.

But it also seems to be the external product of Jin Misa's split personality. If she also has an independent soul well, it means that the other party is already an independent soul... ?
But right now, Ji Li is considering another key point:
"How long can you and Misa take turns using 'Open the Door' to lead me straight to the Nest Master?"

"It's hard to say, but it will definitely save you time, hehe... But aren't you going to look for that fish-faced chick?"

Bai Misha wondered: "Did something happen to her?"

"I can't find it anymore."

The spiritual essence in Ji Li's eyes rose:

"Since the space here can change at any time, that is to say, if you want to find someone here, the randomness is more difficult than finding a path leading to the nest owner..."

"Just kill the nest owner and everything will be over. I always like the most efficient approach. Rabbit, open the door."

"coming!"

The two of them said in unison and glared at each other again. "What about us!" Che Canhao was stunned.

Ji Li caused nine rebellions:
"I'll lead the way. If we meet someone from the Special Management Bureau, I'll hand you over to them."

"Please wait!"

Che Li suddenly raised her hand:

"Whether it's looking for someone or the nest owner... I should be able to help."

Silver spirits appeared in her eyes.

……

In another bloody passage.

Gray spiritual essence was rising from old man Jiang's body, and his evil mummy-like appearance kept colliding with the black shadow, but the spiritual essence reaction became gradually weaker in each collision.

Finally, he was unable to dodge and his arm was cut off by the dark blade. He groaned and retreated wildly:

"Master! Go!!!"

"Don't even think about it!!"

With a hoarse shout, the black shadow knocked his body away on the spot, smashing it into the bloody ground, scraping blood from the living floor and spraying it into the sky.

As the figure gradually revealed its shape, it turned out to be a mummy with exactly the same appearance.

However, compared to the yellow and white bandages of Old Man Jiang, the mummy was dressed in gray and black, with black spiritual essence rising from the gaps in the bandages:

"I really don't know what you, a piece of trash, are up to..."

He instantly appeared in front of Old Man Jiang, with sharp claws growing out from under the bandages, nailing him to the wall:

"I have devoted myself to the Park family for so many years! But what did I get in the end? I even had to pay the price of an arm for this idiot!"

"Do you know how much it would cost to successfully heal the damage to the Well of Souls?!"

The black mummy in front of him was exactly the split personality of old man Jiang.

It raised its two sharp claws and madly bombarded the old man Jiang in front of it. Amidst a rumbling sound, the bloody living wall puffed and spurted out blood continuously.

And under the roar of his other self, Old Man Jiang’s body was torn into pieces and then repaired, in great pain.

"Is this what I deserve? How much have I done for him, and how much has he done for me? It's just a little charity from this loser when he was a child, and you keep it in your heart as if it were a treasure! Why do you have to make yourself suffer for so many years!?"

Suddenly, a voice came out from the shadows and hugged the mummy's arm:

"Please, stop hitting me! Let him go!"

The person who came was Park Dong-geun, who was in a dishevel.

At this moment, because he entered the Lingwei Prison, he had escaped the influence of the invisible blade and regained his consciousness, but his temperament seemed to have changed drastically:
"It's all my fault! It's my willfulness that made you become like this! Don't hit Uncle Jiang anymore! I beg you to kill me!!"

Old man Jiang spurted out a mouthful of gray-black spiritual essence and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Master... hurry up..."

But the gray-black mummy laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, I never thought that an idiot like you would become so stupid one day! But this won't do. What I want to see is your arrogant and domineering look!"

He casually threw Park Donggen aside and smashed Old Man Jiang's head with a punch, roaring as the latter slowly recovered:

"Don't you treat all the people of Sinlla as your slaves? Now you are also begging for mercy from your slaves?! Where on earth is that arrogant Park Dong-geun?!"

Seeing Park Dong-geun falling to the ground with his arm broken, the old man Black Jiang became even angrier:

"Since you can't recover, I will kill you, the chaebol's dog, today, and then torture you! Let you die in pain and despair!"

"Please, just kill me, don't hit Uncle Jiang! Help! Is there anyone who can save us——"

"I didn't expect your brain to flip and your behavior to be completely idiotic. Other people in this place are busy with their own affairs. You are destined to play with me here until the end of the world!!!"

He suddenly clawed at Old Man Jiang, but in an instant, a blood-red crack appeared directly in front of him and swallowed his claw:
"what?!"

The dark and powerful sword wave instantly engulfed his body, and Ji Li's figure jumped out from it, followed closely by the White Rabbit, the Original Rabbit, the Che Li siblings, and Ji Xu who followed at the end.

"You have a rich family. Are you sure this is the right direction?" the white rabbit said, looking around.

"We are very close, but my spiritual essence can't hold on..." Che Li said, covering half of her face.

"Also, could you please stop calling me that?"

"That's true... But I'm curious. Your ability can copy Old Ji's Black Ice and Che Canhao's Digital Detection, but how can you copy my 'Wangling'?"

The original Misa glanced at Kurari, who forced a smile and shook his head:

"Not yet, maybe in the future... As for Ji Li, the only character I can 'play' is Bing, nothing else."

After the initial awakening, and then the exhaustion and recovery of spiritual essence, Kurari gradually became clear about his own abilities.

copy.

Or, "playing".

She can assume the spiritual makeup of other people and imitate similar uses. She can assume up to two roles at the same time and permanently fixate on one of them.

When she was being chased around with Ji Li, she unconsciously played the roles of Che Canhao's "digital detection" and the black ice mark on Ji Li's chest.

However, because it was an acting, she could only play the part that generated ice and had the characteristics of her own spiritual essence, but she could not copy the part of Ji Li's spiritual essence that had the ability to devour the spiritual essence of others.

Because the essence of the black ice ability was independent of Ji Li's entire system, it was not until the spiritual fire after the bones were no longer transformed that it was completely integrated into his personality entity.

The black ice mark has always been on his body, and Che Li can only exert the ability of this black ice mark. In essence, it actually comes from the evil spiritual essence of Ji Li's Lingbao.

Once Ji Li himself is involved, Che Li will suffer backlash directly, which is the reason why he suddenly vomited blood before.

The solution she could think of right now was to use Che Canhao's digital detection to parse out the data belonging to Yan Xiyu from the objects that Yan Xiyu had touched, and then track this data in the scene.

This usage puts a huge burden on her spiritual essence, but it is a method of use that Che Chanhao has not yet developed.

When everyone landed, they noticed the current situation, and a figure instantly pounced on Ji Li, but because of the violent spiritual fluctuations of the other party, he turned and threw himself into Che Canhao's arms:
"Please! Save Uncle Jiang! Please!!!"

When he saw the person clearly, Che Canhao was stunned:

“Park Dong-geun!?”

The next moment, the gray-black mummy that was instantly crushed by Ji Li's sword wave reorganized its body and pounced on everyone with a roar:

"Where did these bastards come from to disturb my good deeds? Die!!!"

Ji Li turned his head, and the blade of Jiu Ni flashed in his hand——

Mycelium, black ice, and violent blade energy burst out at the same time, and the opponent's body was instantly smashed into the wall by the giant crescent.

Large pieces of ice and tangled mycelium exploded on the huge knife mark, splashing along with the blood spurting out from the living wall.

At the same time, a scarlet shadow crack opened behind the screaming mummy, and its figure disappeared in an instant after a burst of annihilation -

"Ji Li!"

The white rabbit raised its palm and gestured to Ji Li to high-five. Then, it was slapped by the original Misha, whose hand was filled with spiritual essence but had not yet released the spell:
"Don't get carried away here!"

Then there was a "thump" sound in the passage. Several people turned their heads and saw the seriously injured old man Jiang, who had recovered his body, rushing up and hugged Park Dong-geun:
"Thank you... Thank you... Thank you, Master Canhao, thank you, Master Canhao..."

He kowtowed to the ground frantically, leaving Che Li and her brother stunned.

What's going on? ——
PS: I’m not in a good condition today, so I can only update once... because I woke up a little late after catching up on sleep, and the weather was so cold that my fingers were frozen when I was typing.

Although the event is about to reach its climax, I still have to take it step by step to avoid hurting my back...
