Soul Trigger

Chapter 26 Dense Fog
"Demoman?"

"He is one of the awakened ones. I don't know why he stopped chanting, but it should be over..." Jin Misha breathed a sigh of relief, "...I almost thought that guy was going to be detonated by the Lord behind him..."

"Hey, don't keep talking about things I don't understand when I'm confused."

"Awakeners are also classified. Don't martial arts novels always have to be divided into different sects? Contracted demons are also called contracted ones. They are a special type of awakener. Their awakening does not rely on spiritual essence explosion, but on transactions."

"Trade with the 'Lord' you mentioned?" Ji Li extracted the words.

"Yes. The awakening of a contracted demon is achieved by trading with a powerful evil. They offer something of themselves to complete the contract in exchange for awakened power and spiritual essence. For example, this self-immolating brother is like this. The evil he contracted can be called his 'lord'."

"Is there such a good thing? Can I make a contract with you and share some of your spiritual essence?" Ji Li touched his chin.

"Go find the female ghost yourself!"

"How dare I do that? One just exploded. He must be a good brother who is trustworthy."

The two of them exchanged a few words, and the tense atmosphere just now relaxed a lot.

"Only evil creatures can be the Lord, and the word Lord also means powerful. Brother, I am just a little Karami now, and I can't bear the responsibility of a great god like you."

Jin Misha poked Ji Li's arm to make him give up, then walked to the withered heart, took out her gloves and put them on, and put it in a translucent bag:

"Here!"

Ji Li raised his hand to catch the bagged heart that Rabbit threw to him, and squeezed it to take a look.

The heart was gray-black with only a faint red glow visible. There were numerous cracks on it, and purple-black blood was flowing out.

"You're just going to trade this for performance?"

The full name of "performance" is actually "commissioned credit", which belongs to the reflection walker evaluation system of Flash Street. The account level of Flash Street awakeners is also called "credit level", which is determined by the commissioned credit score. The higher the credit score, the higher the level, the higher the quality of the commissions you can receive, and the wider the network of contacts you can contact.

At the same time, the credit rating basically represents the status of the awakener in Flash Street and even the Reflection Walker circle. For Ji Li, who has just entered the industry, it is naturally a good gain.

"After all, the Special Management Bureau has been tightening its grip recently. Under the special action order coordinated with Flash Street, any clues related to the Red Whip Society can be exchanged for credit points. I just didn't expect it to be a contracted demon. He must have triggered some breach of contract conditions and was killed by the master behind him. If it was a living person, it would be worth more."

"In other words, the Lord is an evil spirit that can communicate, and can also kill his own contractors through contract traps?"

"To be precise, it is a powerful evil spirit that can communicate and lure human spirits." Jin Misha helped Ji Li define it. "It's hard to say about the contract, but I have indeed heard of many examples of people who are already awakened and become contracted demons for power, but in the end they don't have a good end, not to mention ordinary people."

...It sounds a lot like the devil in the classic story. Ji Li looked at the bunny girl and pondered, and suddenly thought of the cognitive golem, which seemed to be quite similar.

I don't know if this girl will get mad at me if I really transfer all of Misa's abilities to myself... Come to think of it, she didn't see me using the Afterimage Step, otherwise she would definitely not let me go.

"Besides the transaction itself, there is also a price to pay. Bearing the power of evil will always make people infiltrate negative emotions, extreme emotions and irritability, and it is easier to lose control and become evil." "Indeed, the couple just now was not mentally normal." Ji Li nodded, "and according to what Da Lei said about soul psychology, this extreme power should also be able to generate more powerful spiritual essence than ordinary spiritual essence, which means that the contracted demons themselves have stronger power than ordinary awakened people."

"That's a good summary." Jin Misha gave a thumbs up, "But who is Da Lei?"

"Filin." Ji Li held his chest with one hand, "Didn't you teach me this nickname, Da Lei?"

"I'm Da Lei too." Jin Misha puffed out her chest proudly.

"Shameless, huh?... But it's still quite large in scale?" Ji Li commented.

"What do you mean 'still'? This is called far ahead!" Jin Misha flicked her hair, looking very confident.

Bunny Girl herself is not thin. She is tall and has a large frame. The length of her lower body accounts for a large proportion, which makes her extremely tall. The nutrition in her chest is indeed outstanding.

It's just that Ji Li is from Murphy's Giant Structure, where changing faces, breasts, and legs is a very common operation, even men changing their own is a basic operation. And for a while, a Shabei Internet celebrity who Ji Li particularly disliked started a trend, and several parts were changed bigger and bigger, and Ji Li was a little used to it.

The two of them were cleaning up the battlefield while joking around. In fact, if an ordinary person were here at this moment, he would probably be trembling with fear and not even dare to breathe.

The woman was surrounded by blood plasma and her hands were covered with blood from the heart. The man was standing next to a headless corpse with a plastic-sealed heart in his hand. The two of them were still bragging calmly. The whole scene looked as horrifying as it could be. If you didn't know, you would think it was a group of perverted murderers.

"Come to think of it, I almost forgot. Since it's related to the Contracted Demon, the corpse can also be exchanged for some credit points. I still have to call a scavenger... I'll talk about this later."

"I'll take some photos for evidence, and then we'll leave here quickly..."

Just as Jin Misha was speaking, a strange moaning sound suddenly came from outside the window, which made the two people who were already in a relaxed state tense up. Rabbit even froze in place, not moving for a long time, and signaled Ji Li with a solemn expression not to act rashly.

The sound was unusual, huge and loud. It echoed in the air for a long time before gradually disappearing. It sounded like a sound that could only be made by some huge creature.

Only when the voice completely disappeared did Jin Misha completely relax and let out a long sigh:

"You scared me..."

"…What the hell?" Ji Li lowered his voice.

"…There's a big guy outside, we have to speed up, otherwise it will be troublesome if the thing in the fog smells the scent and comes over." Jin Misha quickened her pace.

Ji Li turned his head and looked out the window. In the thick fog, he could see some shadowy figures swaying, and their shapes did not resemble normal creatures. And deep in the fog, a giant creature several stories high seemed to be moving slowly.

"Are those all evil?"

"Don't look, don't look. It's easy to be discovered." Jin Misha fanned her hands and lowered her voice. She quickly took photos for evidence and put away her phone. "It's all done. Let's leave now."
