Soul Trigger

Chapter 289 Dusk
Jasmine, who was watching this scene in the corner, had already had stars in her eyes and clapped her hands gently in front of her perky chest.

This tiny applause was extremely abrupt in the silent environment, but it suddenly spread out after a few seconds, getting louder and louder until it echoed throughout the No. 1 training hall.

"In the future, everything in Aurora City will be operated under the rules of the Aurora City Special Management Bureau. All organizations in Aurora City must be subject to the jurisdiction of the Special Management Bureau."

"In the future, whether it is the Tower of Babel, Flash Street, or the larger awakened organization, or even the capital of Silla, the Kaiton Federation garrison group... they will not be able to dictate everything in Aurora City."

“You will become the truth of this city and even the truth of all of Silla.”

“It’s not a promise because I’m here.”

"So this matter itself... is an established truth."

Ji Li came to the seriously injured adjutant of the Northwest Branch Chief and casually slammed a single-digit percentage Soul Mach into his body.

Under the other party's shocked gaze, the wounds on his body cut by Jasmine were healing rapidly. Accompanied by the exclamations of "Soul Healer" from all around, the applause became louder.

Then Ji Li looked at the agent who had been indoctrinated with his stupid theory:

"What's the name of that idiot over there?"

The man was stunned and looked around:

"Me? Uh... My name is Bai Xingfeng!"

Ji Li had a blank expression on his face: "Are you an idiot?"

Amid the laughter all around, Bai Xingfeng's face instantly turned red:

"No, you..."

"Which branch?"

His lips moved twice:

"...Pu...Puluo Avenue, the subdistrict office..."

The countless changing looks around him made his mouth twitch:
"I'm really sorry that I come from an office, my colleagues..."

And Ji Li said:

"Report to the Human Resources Office upstairs tomorrow morning."

"what?"

In an instant, the laughter stopped.

Instead, countless spiritual essences called envy and jealousy surged towards him, and the overwhelming spiritual pressure almost made him suffocate.

Although not all members of the Special Management Bureau were present today, only the top leaders of each branch and some of their trusted subordinates were present.

But even so, elite agents are still a minority after all.

The core bureau is composed of a bunch of big guys and a bunch of elite agents.

The three major branches are led by a big boss with a dozen elite agents.

The local branch consists of several elite agents and a team of small Karami.

Street sentry office...

That's a few little Karami.

Most of them came from local branches and street sentry offices.

People like Bai Xingfeng came alone to the meeting, and he was the only one who came to their office.

For this group of people, especially those working in fixed small outposts like "offices", being able to enter one of the three major branches means they will have no worries about food and clothing and have a bright future.

Now, you are directly in the core bureau?

The person who just ran away like he was avoiding the plague is now regretting it. He was promoted just by being called an idiot by the new director-general. Who wouldn't want such a lucrative business?

Amid the thunderous clamor, Jiang Jiuying sighed, and the spiritual essence in his body had completely dissipated:

"...You are such a conceited fellow, Zhenli?"

"Why, you want to be the stupid one?"

An Huaiyin's voice came from the side.

Jiang Jiuying turned his head and saw that the other party had already walked forward, pushing through the crowd that had regrouped and heading towards Ji Li.

He immediately shook his head and walked forward.

However, after taking just two steps, he suddenly remembered something and looked back.

The obese Zhang Zhecai had already climbed up from the ground. An agent from the Northwest Branch took off his uniform and put it on the ragged Zhang Zhecai.

Zhang Zhecai was in a very embarrassing situation at this moment.

Not only were his clothes torn, but more importantly, he was beaten in front of so many people.

The spiritual essence technique was directly broken, which basically means he lost all face... Will this guy's awakening of spiritual light be affected by this?
Jiang Jiuying couldn't help but wonder if Fatty Zhang was the most injured person present today.

Then he saw the dazed look in the eyes of his subordinate, Team One captain Cui Chenghao.

Following the boy's gaze, I saw a blonde girl in the crowd with stars in her eyes and clapping her hands:
"There's also a person with internal injuries here, stupid boy... I'll introduce one to you some other day."

It would be better to stop this guy from always thinking about the woman of the new director general and give up the idea as soon as possible.

Others may have a lucky mentality, but he knows everything. The girl's eyes were not right when she looked at Ji Li.

Then he clenched his fists, recalling Ji Li's overwhelming spiritual pressure just now:

If he continues to fight, his faith might be shattered like Zhang Zhecai.

I was so confident in my defense, but I couldn't defend it at all... No, it has been affected a little. It turns out that my kung fu is not up to par...

He felt the tremor of his awakening light and clenched his fists suddenly.

But An Huaiyin is a really smart guy.

As he was thinking, he couldn't help but glance at An Huaiyin who had walked up to Ji Li in the crowd and started chatting with him.

Ever since Ji Li showed his abilities, this guy's condition has been very strange.

And at this moment, his eyes suddenly met Ji Li's.

As the latter approached, Jiang Jiuying's expression became serious, and he lowered his head slightly in the surprised eyes of Cui Chenghao and Li Qingchuan:

"General Director."

This behavior undoubtedly expressed his recognition of Ji Li.

After nodding faintly at him, Ji Li stopped in front of Zhang Zhecai.

For a moment, all the sounds around fell silent.

The subordinates around Zhang Zhecai all had expressionless faces. Only one of them, a man dressed as a clerk, reluctantly called out "Director-General", which drew a round of angry glares from "his own people".

"I'm sorry about the rally. What I said before was just to beat you up."

Ji Li's straightforward words made several agents from the Northwest Branch look angry.

"Of course, don't get me wrong. When I say beat you, I also mean beat everyone. In my opinion, everyone is equal."

"The agents who died at the rally are all heroes of Aurora City. They defended the city and have received due commendations and solemn martyrdom ceremonies."

"I solemnly express my apologies for my previous words that angered you."

Zhang Zhecai still had a sullen look on his face, but after a while he suddenly collapsed:
"…Our branch has already received the commendation, and the funeral has already taken place today. Our branch just wants a detailed explanation."

After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand:
"I'm not such a stingy person. Since everything is for the Special Management Bureau and Aurora City..."

He forced a smile on his fat face:
"Who cares about that? And your stupid theory... I think it makes sense."

"This is the truth of how the world works, not my theory."

Ji Li stretched out his hand and shook it with him:
"Go to the engineering department and pick out some new clothes. You can choose whatever you want."

Zhang Zhe was slightly stunned, and then suddenly smiled:

"Understood, Director-General... er, Director-General."

Jiang Jiuying's glare made him change his words quickly.

"As for the victims of the other two branches, I will naturally give you an explanation."

Jiang Jiuying and An Huaiyin immediately lowered their heads:
"Don't dare."

"Since they sacrificed their lives for Aurora City and humanity, they deserve to rest in peace after returning to the other world."

The former finally breathed a sigh of relief:

He was originally worried that this director general, who was incredibly capable but too young, was a greenhorn.

But now it seems that I was totally overthinking it.

Although he has a strong personal style, often saying "idiot" or "party" at every turn, he is very sophisticated.

Whether it was the speech he just made, the treatment he provided, or the deliberate lowering of his posture to apologize to Zhang Zhecai, all of them revealed his experienced way of commanding subordinates.

Generally, when changing uniforms, one would go to the arsenal, but the director was talking about the engineering department.

Even though it is not the [Core Arsenal], the equipment of the Engineering Department cannot be easily compared with the equipment of ordinary arsenals and branches.

In addition to the integration of personality relics and more advanced ectoplasm circuits, the uniform style is also different from the old uniforms.

He himself is also a senior leader of the Special Management Bureau and attaches great importance to uniforms. Zhang Zhecai is no exception.

So even if it's not very useful, as compensation, it's just the right amount, and it hits the mark -

His experience is totally inconsistent with his appearance... Jiang Jiuying's eyes flashed.

But this undoubtedly made him feel more at ease. A leader like this, in the long run, might do a better job than Director Xiaofu.

Just as Jiang Jiuying was constantly examining Ji Li's leadership skills, he had already stepped onto the floating cube and soared into the sky under the gazes of countless people: "After today, the internal regulations, systems, and troops of the Special Management Bureau will all be readjusted."

"I will establish a brand new force in the Core General Administration, which I will directly mobilize."

This is not surprising to most people.

Basically, each branch director and director general will have his own direct troops, and the original troops will generally be handed over to the next level of senior management, or assigned to senior operations departments.

Some will also take over part of the troops and reorganize them.

And Ji Li's words...

"This unit is part of a brand new department and was established as a special agency that is responsible only to me."

"As for the selection, I will not make personnel changes based on the existing system. All criteria and selection methods will be determined by me."

These words made Jiang Jiuying frown slightly. This was obviously against the rules, but the situation in Aurora City was special now, so he would not say anything more.

But does this mean setting up a third type of contact defense team within the Special Management Bureau?

The other agents didn't react much, because this sounded like something reserved for people with connections to get jobs.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office. You are the one with the truth and you have the final say. No one wants to jump out and act like an idiot now.

But Ji Li's next action made them all stunned——

"You, you, will all join this special department, just like him. Report to the Human Resources Office tomorrow."

One of them was naturally Bai Xingfeng, who was nicknamed "idiot" by Ji Li, while the other one was confused under the countless hot gazes around him:
It was Jasmine’s good senior, the captain of the first team of the Eastern Branch—

Choi Sung Ho.

"what??"

His face was instantly filled with question marks.

"Don't want to?"

"But……"

Cui Chenghao suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Jiuying who was also a little dazed.

Boss?

I'm the captain of your fucking team!

Then he saw his boss think for a while in silence, then nodded directly:
"In that case, then go ahead."

"what???"

He looked at Li Qingchuan, Ji Li, Jiang Jiuying, and a bunch of colleagues with burning eyes around him, and then he realized something:

I seem to have hit the jackpot.

Compared with the branch offices, the headquarters naturally has better resources, more distant prospects... and more possibilities.

The junior Li Qingchuan beside him already showed an envious look on his face, but he fell into a strange silence for a moment:
Will he have to watch his favorite schoolgirl frequently going in and out of the director-general's office every day? ? ?
In an instant, he felt that the whole world was petrified:

Don't do that! How could such a hellish thing happen to me? !
Jiang Jiuying seemed to have reacted at this moment. He suddenly raised his hand, patted his shoulder slowly, and whispered in his ear:
"...I have an old comrade whose daughter is still in high school. I can introduce her to you."

"...You told me the same thing last time. I went there too. My waist was three times as wide as mine..."

"...In short, being directly under the command of a military unit is a rare opportunity. Not everyone can have such an opportunity." Jiang Jiuying said helplessly.

The people around him were already in an uproar, because Ji Li's choice was obvious -

Aren’t these two relatives relatives of the Director General?

If you think about it carefully, the idiot brother is lucky to be conspicuous. Others dare not to reply but he dares to reply. He really has something.

But what about Cui Chenghao? Because he held on for a few more seconds when the new director-general was furious?
It wasn't just him, he was also knocked out by a certain ice sculpture guy.

Suddenly, countless people looked at Ji Li with heated eyes.

The appearance of these two candidates undoubtedly gave many people some thoughts.

These two candidates undoubtedly divide the gap between them. After all, Brother Shabi is not even at the third level of Transcendent, while Li Qingchuan is at the fifth level of Domination.

Even if his upper limit can't reach Li Qingchuan's level, his lower limit won't be lower than that of idiot brother.

But in fact, at this moment, these two people were constantly releasing strange throbbing to Ji Li in the nest transmission perception:
These two people are qualified for [Hive Transmission].

The moment he entered the No. 1 training hall, Ji Li sensed the presence of two qualified people.

The first one was Cui Chenghao, who confirmed it thoroughly when he was at the door.

The second White Star Peak, Ji Li had been searching for it but had not confirmed it until this guy took the initiative to jump out and answer his questions. Only then did he completely confirm the fluctuation of the qualified person.

Although Ji Li would have found him even if he didn't jump out, he was indeed the one who seized the opportunity.

Among them, Ji Li could sense the scent of pollutants from Cui Chenghao. Obviously, this person became a qualified person because he had pollutants in his body.

This mechanism seems to override his limitation that "the Overlord level cannot accept the Seed of Power".

Bai Xingfeng, on the other hand, is a "naturally qualified person" who has no pollutants and whose relationship with Ji Li is at the level of a stranger.

Ji Li had encountered this kind of situation many times, but they were all ordinary people on the street who had little reaction.

However, Bai Xingfeng's reaction was extremely intense, probably two to three times that of Cui Chenghao.

There are many agents here today, and these two are not the only qualified ones. However, among so many people, the fluctuations of the others are very weak, which is the level of the music boy.

But only these two people's fluctuations were the most drastic and obvious, so Ji Li chose them.

"that……"

At this time, Cui Chenghao raised his hand blankly:

"Has the special agency you mentioned been established?"

Ji Li: "It was just established three minutes ago."

Jiang Jiuying smiled immediately:
"So, Director General, you haven't thought of a name yet?"

Bai Xingfeng next to him suddenly had an idea and blurted out:

"You're not going to call it the Idiot Troop, are you?"

Amidst countless retard-looking gazes from all around him, he suddenly shut his mouth.

Ji Li praised: "You are really a genius... What time is it now?"

"Report to the Director General, six o'clock and three minutes!"

A clear female voice came from below. It was Jasmine, and Ji Li gave his own name based on this answer:

"Dusk, that's the name."

"As for the subsequent candidates, this plan will be officially launched in Aurora City in two days. From the headquarters to the local branches and outpost offices, everyone will have a chance."

"The meeting is now adjourned. You three, follow me."

Watching Ji Li and Jasmine walking towards the exit, Cui Chenghao looked as pale as death.

He couldn't imagine what a mess his working life would become after tomorrow...

Jiang Jiuying patted his shoulder:

"I also have a comrade's daughter..."

……

In the unknown hell of spirits, a waterfall of black water falls from the sky.

On a few dark little towers, stood several figures covered in black robes.

"Han Xiaofu has no chance of success. According to our arrangement in the capital, the Guard's Human Anchor will not be approved within half a year. I am ready to move on to the next stage."

"Respected Eighth Seat, this is earlier than we originally planned. The accident with the Predator King has caused many forces to intervene in Aurora City. It is not advisable to move forward now."

The speaker stood on a rather low tower, facing the gaze from other tall towers.

"Number 16...are you going to wait until things over there are over and the capital reacts before taking action?"

"No, I'm just reminding you to be cautious. The new Black Goat... is not a good person."

"Of course I know that we have already lost at least two dead puppets in things related to him...

But he had come into contact with the 'Red God', and he was not even at the level of immortality. He was not even as good as Han Xiaofu who possessed the 'Breath of the Ancients', so he was not worthy of entering the chessboard.

Although the incident with the Predator King was beyond our expectations, it is actually an opportunity to accelerate progress, isn't it? "

"And among those forces, there are also people we can use... For example, the Mithril Society is a very good choice. The people of the Kaiton Federation will not care about the lives of these locals."

"That's true."

Another shrill voice interrupted:

"However, Yinchi Group may not be able to struggle for much longer. Gaoxing Group will soon move into Aurora City. Speeding up the process... is indeed a good choice."

"Will Mithril lose his purse just like that? But the old woman from the Blood Pact Brotherhood was also attracted back by the matter of the Predator King. Humph, get out of here..."

"The old woman won't stay long, just ignore her. Anyway, everything is getting better and better."

"What about the Negative Witch? She may not be able to hold on to the fourth seat for much longer. The Asian Federation is already in chaos."

"Let's delay the fourth seat for a while... The Chosen Ones are about to appear, and this city is about to perish along with Silla. Soon, the Tower will be ours..."

"And the black goat?"

"Let's find a chance to kill him. The Kaitons won't like him."
