Soul Trigger

Chapter 280 Attempt (I)

"Are you going back to be your high official?"

Seeing Ji Li put down his phone, Bunny Girl said with a hum.

"So that's it for today?" Ji Li turned on the screen again and checked the time. Suddenly, he heard Bunny Girl's dissatisfied voice:
"Hey, hey, hey, we've only been out for less than three hours!"

Today is Ji Li’s last day of vacation.

The rally event almost shook the entire Reflection Walker world in Aurora City, causing heavy damage to organizations of all sizes and with profound subsequent impacts.

For the Special Management Bureau, the liquidation from the capital was terminated in a collapsing manner.

There has been no specific follow-up response from the capital yet, but the survival of councillor Lee Byung-hyo means that what seemed like a very serious matter has great room for easing.

However, the Special Management Bureau also suffered the loss of a cutting-edge combat force and heavy casualties in this incident, and they were all elite teams.

Although Ji Li managed to turn the tide in the end, Han Xiaofu's situation was also exposed.

It will be hard to see what impact will occur in the future in the short term, but it is undoubtedly a significant hidden danger.

Of course, some small fish and shrimps cannot touch this huge mountain, but it is not certain what the people behind all kinds of people will think.

The second is the changes in several other big names.

Flash Street was relatively calm, but the prestige of the organizer suffered a certain degree of damage.

The Special Management Bureau may not like this situation, but it may not be the case for Ji Li personally.

His good bed partner was hardly affected at all, and because he had witnessed the entire process, he was even granted some rights by the Lord of Darkness who arrived later.

Because the latter was very interested in the situation of fireworks.

The biggest change was caused by the Yinchi Group, a local giant in Aurora City.

From the second day after the rally ended, he was completely liquidated by the entire Aurora City awakener world and became the biggest loser of the rally.

In the present world, the procuratorate took the lead in launching a legal liquidation of the assets of the Yinchi Group, and in just one day, it wiped out one-third of their local downward assets.

This was of course done under the permission of the three official agencies (Special Management Bureau, Public Security Bureau, and Third Contact Defense Force).

Then came the lightning-fast large-scale prosecution case. Hundreds of letters filled up the legal department of Yinchi Group in one night, and even the headquarters building was sealed on the spot.

Of course, there are also a lot of interest games and competition among experts.

As a local chaebol, the Yinchi Group and Aurora City share the same fate.

Its influence on the contemporary economy, society and even politics is enormous, and may even affect Silla.

Therefore, there is still a lot of debate on how to destroy and kill them. At present, the Chief Prosecutor Jiang Zhenhe is in charge of the overall situation in this regard.

But just because you have a huge influence in reality doesn't mean that everyone in the Reflection Walker world dares not touch you.

After all, these influences only exist because you carry the interests of all parties involved.

No matter whether the Gaoxing Group snatches the benefits away or all of Silla eats from the same big pot, that will only happen after they kill you.

So at the same time, the killing sanctions initiated by the Special Management Bureau and Flash Street came, and everyone in the Yinchi Group, young and old, was posted with bounties of various colors and labels on both sides.

On one side is the official wanted order, and on the other side is the reward order.

In addition, some medium-sized organizations that were damaged at the rally, and the revenge of small shrimps in the middle and lower reaches, and the participation of various bounty hunters who had nothing to do with the bounty order...

The most popular event in the entire Aurora City recently is the encirclement and suppression of the Yinchi Group.

Naturally, Gaoxing Group also became the driving force behind the matter, and Lao Ba lived up to expectations and obtained most of the rights in this matter within Gaoxing Group.

In Ji Li's opinion, if the centipede Yinchi Group is completely wiped out in the end, it would be best to let Che Canhao swallow it up, which would maximize the benefits for him.

On the other hand, some organizations lost their backbone and high-level members at the rally, and as a result, the middle and lower-class associations in the Reflection Walker world of Aurora City underwent a certain degree of reorganization and the emergence of new forces.

In less than a week, there was bloody fighting in every corner.

What happened outside the Yinchi Group was the "fireworks" incident.

After the explosion of the Predator King, the personality relics scattered throughout Aurora City were currently classified as "contaminated personality relics" by the Special Management Bureau.

The scattering of a large number of personality relics has intensified the friction between the Reflection Walkers. Coupled with the changing situation, it has also attracted the attention of the forces behind some small and medium-sized organizations, which have joined the current chaos.

There are even rumors of immortals showing up on Flash Street.

Under such circumstances, Yan Xiyu only rested for half a day before running back to the Special Management Bureau.

Only Ji Li seemed to be enjoying a leisurely vacation, but of course he had his own things to do. Recently, he had made some progress in the matters transmitted by the nest group, and he could also investigate the "fireworks" incident.

Looking back at the present, Ji Li glanced at the bunny girl beside him:
"It's not an official matter, but it's almost the same. Director Lion is awake."

"...A medical miracle?" Misa was stunned when she heard that.

Ji Li glanced at her:
"Who was it that I cured while lying on the bed?"

"Ha! That's because they want to harm certain people, for fear that they will fall into trouble..."

Misha turned her head away and pretended to glance at Ji Li, but he patted her on the head:
"It's all old news, why are you still taking credit for it?"

As he spoke, Ji Li sucked on the straw of his milk tea while his eyes wandered around the crowd and landed on a group of people not far away.

That's the man who was fiddling with the guitar next to the subway.

"Would you like a small gift?"

"Okay, okay, what do you want to buy for me?"

Misha, who was watching the scenery with Ji Li, suddenly smiled and subconsciously touched the ring on her ring finger:
"But the old lion has woken up, why don't you hurry over there?"

Before he finished speaking, he felt an itch in his ears and a gust of hot wind:
"Then I'll go accompany Yan Xiyu to visit his parents?"

"No!"

Misha locked onto Ji Li's neck, her face slightly flushed:
"You're coming so close to provoke me, aren't you? Where's the little gift?!"

Half of Ji Li's face was squeezed into Misha's western hemisphere.

Feeling the soft and elastic touch, he took out his hand and pointed across the street:
"Shall we go over there?"

Misa looked at the man in the chicken coop holding an electric guitar in the crowd. …

The guitarist had just finished playing a song and smiled at the crowd around him who were clapping and cheering.

Generally speaking, most of the people who sing and play on the streets are acoustic guitarists.

But for this person, he was holding an electric guitar, as if he was performing a small street concert.

As he was bowing to express his gratitude to the people around him, he saw a beautiful couple pushing through the crowd and walking towards him.

The girl has a tall figure with a curvy figure. She wears cool and fashionable hot pants even in the cool weather.

But what caught his attention more was the man next to him.

He is tall and well-proportioned. Although he cannot be described as handsome, he exudes a strong attraction that makes people unable to help but cast their eyes on him and find it difficult to look away.

This was definitely not a physical attraction, but the depths of the other person's soul seemed to be attracting his attention...

The moment the thought flashed through his mind, he was shocked, and then he came to his senses. After a trace of barely detectable fear flashed in his eyes, he forced a smile:

"Sir, would you like to play a song for your girlfriend?"

The man and woman who walked forward were naturally Ji Li and Mi Sha.

The guitarist's first words stunned Misa, who was squeezing through the crowd:
"what?"

Then he looked at the ring Ji Li gave him on his ring finger, and immediately poked Ji Li's waist with a chuckle:

"Did you hear that?"

"Friendship has deteriorated?" Ji Li glanced at her.

"Just a guest appearance!" Misa's face turned serious, "...But this is the little gift you want to give me? Can you play it?"

Under the suspicious gaze of Bunny Girl, Ji Li had already walked forward and took the electric guitar from the guitarist:

"Play, I'm a professional."

Then he stretched out his other hand to the guitarist beside him:

"Can I borrow the pick?"

"Of course!"

As he spoke, the guitarist put the yellow and black special pick in his hand into his pocket, took out a silver pick from the box next to him and handed it to Ji Li:

"please……"

Ji Li didn't answer:
"Why don't you give me the one you use?"

The guitarist was startled for a moment, a hint of nervousness flashed across his eyes, but only for a moment before he said calmly:
"I'm sorry, sir, that's my personal guitar pick, it's not suitable for other people to use..."

During this delay, some dissatisfied voices were heard from the crowd nearby. Ji Li didn't say anything, but blinked at the rabbit.

The latter also blinked.

Then, the pick swept across Ji Li's strings, playing frantic chords, and the volume was turned up to full volume -

"I'm awesome! Old Ji, you're really good at this?!"

After the complex modulation and show-off opening, the strings turned into a raging torrent.

The notes seemed chaotic, but they came with a surging anger, as if the cables were crackling, the engine was humming wildly, mixed with leaping electrons, with some strange rhythm.

Ji Li's fingers were actually a little clumsy, and his mind flashed back to many years ago when he learned to play a musical instrument from an old soldier who was accompanying him on a battlefield covered with yellow sand.

The other party was holding a special piece of technological weapon, which was both an electric guitar and a powerful pulse rifle.

At that time, Ji Li only had a military prosthesis that he bought with a loan.

Later, the old soldier died, and Ji Li took the thing back from him and used it for a while.

It was a long time later, after I joined the World Tree, that I came into contact with musical instruments.

However, Ji Li still knows a little about guitar, and the music is naturally Murphy's masterpiece.

There was nothing much to say about the music there, and Ji Li didn’t particularly understand it, he just knew how to play it.

But this kind of music seemed strange and novel in the eyes of the guitarist next to him.

Soon the nervousness in his eyes quickly faded away and turned into deep curiosity and interest in the sound of Ji Li's guitar.

Until the last noisy note fell, after a round of applause and cheers from all around, he took a step forward and grabbed Ji Li's wrist:
“What style is this?”

And Ji Li's wrist, which he was holding, was feeling a slight heat:
-
[The human spirit is surprised and pleased with your behavior]

[Your soul core is throbbing, and your connection with this world is deepening.]

【Cognitive Index +6】
-
This is of course not just caused by the guitarist in front of him, but also by the crowd around him, and possibly the bunny girl who is clapping her hands with stars in her eyes.

But Ji Li looked at the guitarist with a half-smile:
"Do you want to learn?"

"You want to teach me?"

"sure."

"Really?!"

"But you can't use your special pick."

Ji Li's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, causing the guitarist's expression to freeze instantly:
"you……"

An uncontrollable panic flashed across his face. He stepped back, reaching into his pocket and grabbing the pick.

Ji Li pushed his guitar forward, and this action seemed to completely trigger his panic, making him rush towards the subway entrance without looking back.

He stumbled along the stairs, bumping into several people, not stopping even when he nearly fell, and leaving the equipment behind him.

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar, but Ji Li stood there calmly, watching him disappear into the subway passage.

In the corner where no one was paying attention, Misa's figure had already disappeared.
