Soul Trigger

Chapter 27 Trophies

According to the triple world theory, after an individual sinks from the real world into the reflected world, his or her position will not change, and the space and layout of the reflected world are almost the same as the reality. In other words, the space where the two people are at this moment is still in Ji Li's home.

However, when returning to the real world from the reflection world, we must also consider the issue of export, which means we need an "uncontaminated mirror".

Fortunately, the mirror in Ji Li's home's bathroom met this condition. As the two of them touched the soul trigger on the mirror, they all returned to reality.

"Old Ji, your toilet smells really bad..."

"You're squeezing me, those with big breasts, get out now!"

The two ran out of the crowded little toilet and took a breath.

“So what is the deeper definition of pollution?”

"The core is quite complicated, but generally speaking, mirrors that have not been touched by evil are not contaminated. From this perspective, if there is a space or place with a pure mirror channel, it is very likely that the activity of evil is not high."

"It's just that the activity level is not high, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist?" Ji Li captured the key information in Jin Misha's words.

"That's right, so Old Ji, you still have to be careful in the future. Your neighborhood is still a bit weird. There is actually a Baltan alien walking on the street..." Both of them thought of the huge roar caused by the air vibration just now.

"? Speak human language, what alien?"

"It's a series of movies and TV shows produced by Black Sun House about aliens fighting monsters. Baltan is one of the monsters in it. He's set to be an alien with a very large body. My family even bought a co-branded pillow... Of course, the one in the mist is not the real 'Baltan', it's just a nickname. This kind of huge unknown creature is usually called by a nickname."

"When I formed a temporary team with others to enter the reflection world, some people called them Godzilla, Cthulhu, and Terrible Upright Ape. They named them what they looked like." Jin Misha shrugged.

"How many?" Ji Li thought, it seemed that there was also an ecological niche among the evil in this reflected world.

"Although they are very common, they don't appear very often. Generally, they have no interest in us Awakeners who come in to play around. There are also unlucky ones who get trampled into the ground, or inexplicably attract the attention of the other party, and a glare from them will cause their spirit cores to lose control and be corrupted into evil on the spot."

"So dangerous?" Ji Li frowned.

"And they are very large, ranging from ten meters to several dozen meters. The one we just saw was considered short." The rabbit nodded seriously.

Ji Li asked the Ascension Protocol to replay the visual capture footage he had just seen. It was an extremely large creature that was at least ten meters long. He had seen this kind of thing in the solar system in his previous life. He had seen it both personally and by calling on military satellites to destroy it. But how could he destroy it in this world?

And if the reflection world is like this, how scary is the inner world?
Ji Li frowned. It was obvious that Jin Misha had a deeper understanding and sense of crisis about the dangers lurking in Lingbo Prison last time than he did. As a "newcomer", he was indeed a greenhorn in a sense.

"The Awakened boss above must know how to kill these things. As for us, we still have to avoid them when we see them on weekdays..."

"By the way, there's something I wanted to ask you before." Ji Li pointed at Jin Misha, who had changed back to casual clothes without him knowing.

"You change clothes pretty quickly?"

"It's just a little trick. It's more useful for work. I'll teach you later. Now let's take a look at the spoils first. Come on, come on..."

The girl fanned her hands secretly, her tone full of anticipation.

……

The two returned to the living room, and Jin Misa spread the wrapped things on an open space -

They were a mirror with many cracks, a modern dagger with some signs of use, a thick polygonal ring and a small statue.

Then she took out a burnt and deformed ring from her pocket. It was from the man with the crew cut, and it was obviously a match for the woman's ring. Thinking of the man's excited expression just now, Ji Li was not surprised.

"You just cut off someone's finger?"

He picked up the finger. The cut was smooth and the ring was on it, obviously freshly cut off.

"This ring is too difficult to remove, it will cut your finger very quickly..." Jin Misha looked innocent, and then excitedly introduced these items to Ji Li.

"This ring should be used in conjunction with the woman's own spiritual core ability. Its main function is to cut herself. The material is also good. It should contain spiritual materials. Although it is useless to both of us, it should be able to sell for some pocket money if it is hung on the board."

"It's a pity that they are a couple's rings. You can add a price markup if you sell them as a couple's ring." Ji Li picked up the man's ring.

"It's a pity indeed. Old Ji, you have a good business sense!"

"Then if you hold this thing, it's pretty easy to stab someone for no reason. The highlight is this thing."

Jin Misha stuffed the dagger into Ji Li's side and picked up the mirror.

It was a rectangular modern tabletop mirror with its supporting legs broken. Perhaps to prevent it from being broken, its previous owner had wrapped it with a circle of customized silicone.

"I took a quick look at the spiritual item on that woman's body when I touched her corpse just now. It's pretty good. We don't need to find an entrance. It can quickly open a passage between the reflection world and the real world. It also seems to be able to temporarily open a small spiritual prison. We can be considered to have picked up a good thing."

"So they just used this to pull me into the reflection world..."

A lot of ideas suddenly popped up in Ji Li's tactical mind, including but not limited to siege, pursuit, escape and other situations. The Ascension Protocol also collected this information and combined it with the triple world theory and simulation tactical algorithms to provide a lot of estimated data.

It’s really good stuff.

"They pulled me in directly before. How do you say it in terms of usage?"

"After activating it with the Soul Trigger, the spiritual essence in the mirror will expand to a larger area. Anyone who is reflected will be pulled into the reflected world, but there is an upper limit. I guess someone like Da Lei can't be pulled in."

Feilin himself should also be a very experienced awakener. Ji Li nodded:
"That's enough. But this thing looks like it's about to die... Is there a limit to its use?"

"You don't have to be so sharp. Give me, an old veteran, some room to show off!"

"Yes, yes, the 'old senior' who stood in front of the monster and shook for a long time."

"You can't pass this level, right?" The rabbit bared its fangs and claws at Ji Li, "Anyway, this thing has a limited use. It should be able to be used four or five times now. Keep it."

"Finally, there is this statue. It is related to the Lord behind them, and it is very likely to point to the evil behind the Red Whip Society. It's just that a special ritual is required to activate this thing, and I don't know the specific usage. But this thing itself is very valuable because the material is very high-grade."

Jin Misha played with the small statue with interest, and then placed it in front of Ji Li as if she didn't care: "It's yours too."

"If you want it, just say so..."

Ji Li stuffed the thing back into her hand.

"But I didn't do much... forget it..." Jin Misha rolled her eyes. "You're still pretending, right?" Ji Li rolled his eyes:

"Take it. I don't know what this thing can be used for now. If you want to take it, take it. Anyway, you will have to work as my slave for a while. There are many things about the Awakener and Flash Street that I still don't understand."

"Hehe, you are indeed a good brother. I won't be polite then."

The rabbit picked up the statuette and gave it a kiss, then took the small leather bag that had been placed in the living room and stuffed it in.

Then Jin Misha went to help Ji Li call the scavenger.

The so-called "Scavengers" are another special organization of Reflection Walkers. When he was riding on the electric scooter with Jin Misha, the other party briefly explained it to him.

It is large in scale and covers all over Asia. It is also part of the ecological chain of the Reflection Walkers in Aurora City. It is specifically responsible for receiving "express delivery" commissions related to evil and awakened people. To put it bluntly, it transports corpses.

Its salesmen are also very strange. According to Jin Misa, there is no real "person" responsible for delivery. The couriers she has come into contact with never speak, and through the perception of Soul Trigger, they look like corpses. They only send reminders through Shanjie's "Crimson Front" APP, and then quietly complete the cleaning and picking up the goods.

The courier certainly doesn't need to pay for it himself. The scavengers can directly find Shan Street or the Special Management Bureau to reimburse. However, this organization cooperates more closely with Shan Street, and has an additional price list for the Special Management Bureau.
From this point, it can also be seen that the Special Management Bureau, an official organization, at least within the scope of Aurora City, does not have as strong control over the world of Reflection Walker as the regime in the real world itself, and its authority is always being challenged.

No wonder Jin Misha said that the Special Management Bureau and Shan Street were not getting along. It was understandable.

Looking at the girl's back as she stood outside the door and made a phone call, Ji Li stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

It was fine when they were in the Lingbao Prison. At that time, the two of them were facing the Spider Woman who was contaminated by the other world. Their nerves were tense and they were very focused, so he didn't feel much about some of Jin Misha's strange reactions.

From Ji Li's perspective of advanced age, Bunny Girl herself is just a 17-year-old girl, just a little girl.

But even in Murphy's megastructure, where values ​​and social structures are very different from those of the world today, a girl of her age doesn't seem to be in this state.

Cutting fingers, installing hearts, standing next to headless corpses and talking and laughing... Ji Li herself has a big heart that is hundreds of years old, and this kind of thing is commonplace. But this guy is too calm. Has she been a reflection walker since she was 10 years old?

It’s not easy, brother.

After resting for a while on the messy sofa, Ji Li felt his dry soul well relieved a little before he stood up and cleaned the room.

Soon Jin Misha came back from the door:
"Old Ji, it seems your property security guard came here just now and slipped you a note asking you to keep your voice down. You seemed to make a lot of noise when you were fighting with the big guy in the real world."

Ji Li was cleaning the house, sweeping out a large pile of broken things and garbage:

"No trouble, that's all. How about staying at my place tonight? I have something else I want to ask you."

"...Old Ji, are you talking like a human being? How can we live in this place now?" Jin Misha covered her forehead, "I have to go home tonight. If you have anything to say, just talk online... Or should I help you get a room outside?"

Ji Li sat on the only sofa and thought for a while: "I don't think it's necessary. I'll stay here tonight."

He needs to learn more about his previous life and integrate into the society here.

At the same time, perhaps based on the things left here by the predecessor, we can find some clues related to the Red Whip Society and prepare for the future.

"Alright. Although this matter has been successfully resolved, you have to be careful, Old Ji. The Red Whip Society should have targeted you now."

"I know. Can you help me get more information?"

"That's easy. You can find a lot of information about the Red Whip Society on the Crimson Front forum. I'll try to find out more here... Why don't you just change your house? I can recommend a real estate agent to you."

"Don't worry for now..." Ji Li shook his head, "Let's go, I'll take you out first. Thank you for tonight."

"Hey, you're welcome!"

Jin Misha chuckled and nudged Ji Li with her elbow:
"Don't you want me to wait with you for the scavenger?"

"I should be able to handle it. Just remember to send me the manual you mentioned before."

"You really don't need it?"

"You don't want to leave, do you?"

"To be honest, I feel a little guilty about leaving you in this hellish place..."

"Then let's talk about it in bed?"

"…You are so weak, what can you say?"

Jin Misha jumped out with a flutter.

"By the way, can the street cleaner help take out the trash?"

……

After sending Jin Misha away, Ji Li turned on his buzzing phone and switched to the Crimson Front APP. He saw that Bunny Girl was sending him a message:
[Enderman: You can call me if you have anything, but I will be a bit busy after the Double Festival]

Shuangqing Festival is a national festival in Silla, which seems to have been established to celebrate Silla's independence and has a three-day holiday.

[Black Goat: What the hell is your name? ]

[Enderman: People with amnesia should not underestimate other people's taste! ]

Jin Misha’s avatar is a pixelated head with purple eyes, while Ji Li’s is the default avatar of the Crimson Front, a question mark.

Ji Li clicked a few times and changed the note for her ID.

[Black Goat: Where is what I want? ]

[Little Bunny (Enderman): Wait a minute, I'm parking the car]

[The little bastard (Enderman) sent you the document "For Beginners: On the Foundations of Soul Trigger"]

[The little bastard (Enderman) sent you the file "Artificial Psychic Props | Excerpt"]

[The little bastard (Enderman) sent you the file "Basic Classification of Awakeners丨On the Peculiarities of the Split Messenger"]
