Soul Trigger

Chapter 297: Reverse Nightmare
Night, Aries College.

Ji Li's special car with a different design stopped two streets away from Aries College. Ji Li opened the door and the uniform that was integrated into his cognitive camouflage disappeared and turned into his normal clothes:
"You don't have to pick me up tomorrow morning."

"Okay, goodnight sir."

After parting with Jasmine, who looked reluctant, Ji Li walked back to Aries College.

His car is a bit too conspicuous and doesn't fit here.

After a series of events, there was no overall change in Aries College, but Ji Li had already arranged a number of agents to enter the school work department and employees of some student associations.

The largest board member of Aries College, Yinchi Group, also had its position vacant because it was completely dismantled by Ji Li.

Since the relationship with Gaoxing Group had not yet been settled, Ji Li simply promoted the former principal to the position of school director.

This principal is very perceptive and knows some information about the world of awakeners. Although his knowledge is superficial, he has always gotten along well with Ji Li and is very respectful to him.

After becoming the director general, Ji Li developed him into his own servant network, making him one of many newbies, and planned to let him manage his own private industries in the future.

You have to know that the Xinnan District where Aries College is located truly belongs to him, and he can also let people gradually manage these areas according to his ideas.

As it is the busy final exam week, this aristocratic school is unusually quiet at night, with many study rooms having lights on.

Ji Li put on a mask and on his way back to the administration building, he encountered groups of students looking at him curiously.

As his affinity grew, his presence itself became more and more attractive to the spirits of those around him. Even within the Special Management Bureau, some weaker agents and clerks would be affected by him.

Therefore, Ji Li now wears a cognitive camouflage mask when traveling in the Special Management Bureau. The cognitive camouflage appearance that is integrated with the new uniform has become his signature outfit.

As he entered the activity room where he had been living, he was greeted by a soft embrace. After the sound of a deep breath, the sweet voice of Heihei came from the front:
"Welcome back, Mr. Black Goat~"

"There's no need to be so enthusiastic."

After entering Ji Li's servant network, the black box acquired a complete human form. It felt soft and boneless when placed against the body, and it felt like it could be stuffed into the body if you hugged it a little. It was a bit like Jasmine's physical feeling.

"Is there anything unusual at home today?"

"There were three evil creatures. One of them was killed by the surrounding agents. I put the remaining two into your Limbo Prison... Would you like to continue holding me for a while? I made some tea..."

"No, thank you for your hard work. Let me be alone for a while."

"Ok!"

As the black box disappeared, Ji Li sat on the sofa and entered the soul space.

At this moment, his soul space has turned into a museum. A large number of display cabinets are filled with various "collections" made of personality fragments or personality relics. Many of them were taken out from the Special Management Bureau's inventory during this period.
-
[Personality Fragment: Negative Vortex]

[Soul quality: complete]

[Features: Vortex force field. Strengthens supersensory perception and will, prying the distortion of spiritual essence, and creating a spiral force field. Depending on the different characteristics of spiritual essence, the spiral force field is different.]

【Cannot be materialized.】
-
After looking at his cognitive index which was still over 100 after repeated consumption and replenishment during this period, Ji Li directly integrated this personality fragment into the personality entity [Lord of the Blade] he was currently equipped with.

In an instant, a strange pain as if every part of my body was crushed spread from the depths of my soul.

It was as if every cell and thought was crushed by the high-speed rotating and collapsing vortex.

Since Ji Li has integrated more and more personality relics, this kind of fusion with strong physical sensations has become less and less common.

Gradually, as Ji Li felt his personality entity expanding, the swelling feeling of his soul that he had felt after the first Heart Blade was perfected came back:
Willpower: 140.3 (+16)

Super sense: 52.4 (+10.6)

Creation: 24
Affinity: 107.6
It reached the sixth level of will amplification and the fourth level of super-sensory amplification, and the former [Nightmare Fission] disappeared and turned into another trait:
【Reverse Nightmare】

Ji Li, who was still a little dizzy, opened his eyes and saw the changes in the attributes at the moment, and took a photo casually.

With a shrieking sound in the air not far away, the spiritual essence transformed into twisted, ghost-like, dark creatures that gathered together and rotated at high speed to form a circle of deadly vortex.

Then as he touched more spiritual essence, thick black smoke erupted from the center of the vortex.

A half-melted claw broke out from the vortex, suddenly grabbed the void next to it, and struggled to break out of the vortex.

A densely packed mass of humanoid creatures, as if made up of countless vengeful spirits and sized like melted candles, emerged from the scene. It was three meters tall.

A large circle of black ice spread out in all directions as it appeared.

Under Ji Li's command, a large group of evil spirits erupted from its body like mycelium, and the tentacles danced wildly, making people with trypophobia call them experts.

With the fusion of multiple traits, this trait that differentiates its own abilities into spiritual derivatives has undergone a qualitative change.

After a series of tests, it was found that this new spiritual essence derivative integrated all of Ji Li's qualities except the corrupt positive electricity, and could even use some of the sword master's abilities.

Sensing a certain pulling feeling coming from it, this thing should trigger some kind of emotional and spiritual abnormalities in the human soul. There is no physical test, but Ji Li guessed that it was related to "nightmare".

The vortex itself can also bring about a qualitative change in his current state——

As Ji Li transformed into the form of Feidianzhu, he activated the Reverse Nightmare.

Except for the places on his body where the electric light was concentrated like lasers, and the scarlet sword which was completely red, all the electric light he emitted at this moment turned into pitch-black with bright red edges.

The black and red blade waves that were slashed out by the sword were accompanied by the roars of thousands of resentful spirits.

Ji Li turned it into a sword whip, and when he swung it he could draw out pieces of black and red electric vortexes.

After retracting the sword whip, he thrust forward casually. The scarlet sword whip shot out in a straight line along with his force. Black and red electric vortices appeared and wrapped around it along the way, like a drill bit that rotated in reverse layer by layer, and rushed violently forward.

After testing all the way, he found that the combination of vengeful spirit, electric current, and reverse vortex amplified his scarlet sword attack by [29%-47%].

This is the most significant periodic increase that Ji Li has ever seen.

After another test, Ji Li exited the soul space with satisfaction.

The effect is good, and in addition to the changes in spiritual essence derivatives and sword strikes, the vortex ability has many other uses. These are just the most basic and intuitive ones -

Thank you Colonel Zahn for the gift of nature.

I just don’t know how much “Monsoon” Lawrence has been torn into pieces by Diana.

As his sight returned to the activity room, Ji Li suddenly felt an inexplicable dizziness in his head, and a stabbing pain came from the depths of his soul:

"...The quality of this personality fragment is a little too good. It is worthy of being dropped by a peak master..."

……

"Wake up, we've arrived."

Hearing the familiar voice beside her ear, Misa suddenly opened her eyes, then felt itchy in front of her, and glanced sideways:
"Old Ji, you secretly poked me and threw the dice..."

"I slapped you but you didn't wake up, so I had to resort to this last resort." Ji Li pulled the handbrake and turned his head to glance at the bustling school gate outside -

A large number of female students were rushing towards the girls' campus.

Today is the day of Misha's final exam. The one-week exam week starts today, so Ji Li specially asked his good brother to drive her to school.

As for whose car it was, of course he couldn't drive the Special Management Bureau's car, so Ji Li could only borrow Captain Yan's car -

Now he should be called "Yan Zhengjian", and the cool girl has also been promoted recently.

After checking the rearview mirror and not seeing any slap marks on her face, Bunny Girl knew that Ji Li had played a trick on her again. She glared at him angrily and sneezed violently:
"…The perfume in Dead Fish Eyes' car smells terrible."

Then he yawned and stretched out in the spacious front seat, and the heavy rabbit meat on his chest jumped violently as the stretch ended.

“Damn it… I feel like the review questions are harder to beat than the predator… I only slept for an hour last night, sob—”

Misha was crying with dark circles under her eyes, Ji Li raised his five fingers towards her:
"come over."

"What?" Misha came over, wiping her tears after yawning, and was tapped lightly on the head by Ji Li:
"Give you a BUFF."

After the tiny amount of soul Mach was sacrificed, the spirit essence in the eyes of the bunny girl suddenly rose, and she was radiant with glory, and she crashed into the roof of the car:
"I'm super, resurrected with full health!"

"If you break something, go find Yan Xiyu to pay for it."

"...Brother, you are a big shot now, you can just buy a garage with this crappy car, okay?"

Bunny Girl rubbed her head and groaned as she opened the car door:

"So I'm going to take the exam?"

Ji Li rubbed his forehead:
"go Go……"

"Old Ji, are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes, a little bit. I ate too much last night."

"Then stick your head out here."

"You want to give me a buff too...?"

"Sneak attack!!!"

The rabbit pecked him fiercely on the mouth, and ran away with a burst of wild laughter.

"Eat my saliva for treatment hahahaha!!!"

Watching the other person's monkey-like back disappear from his sight, Ji Li pulled back the door that the other person had pushed open and closed it, then took out a tissue to wipe the saliva from his mouth:

"…My mouth tastes like kimchi. Is this what people in Silla eat in the morning?"

Dry heaving.

Back at the Special Management Bureau, Ji Li had already put on his cognitive disguise. He felt his head aching more and more. After passing by several agents who saluted him, he came towards Jasmine:

"Good morning, sir! Commander Yan seemed to have something to talk to you about just now...Sir?!"

Ji Li suddenly fell on Jasmine's shoulder.

... "...It's totally unheard of."

In Ji Li's large office, the medical team members who put away the diagnostic equipment had strange expressions on their faces.

"So what's going on?"

"...I originally thought that the Director General might have been at risk of corruption because of his visualization of the eighth personality type, but I didn't expect... there was a problem with the carrying capacity."

"Carrying capacity?" Jasmine was stunned.

"Intuitively speaking, it feels like the Soul Well is overflowing with spiritual essence... But the actual situation is that the Director General's spiritual essence is too high, causing his Trinity to be unable to bear his high soul quality..."

"...How could such a thing be possible? How could a human spirit generate spiritual essence that it cannot contain?" Jasmine frowned and looked at Ji Li worriedly.

Ji Li, who had already taken off his visor, groaned:

"Is there any solution?"

The medical team specialist shook his head:
"I've never heard of that. If it's a situation where the Well of Soul is overflowing, it can be dealt with by releasing the spiritual essence. But your situation... according to common sense, it's simply impossible."

It's like everyone is a thermal generator. Even if the power and power generation are different, at least they are all thermal energy generated into the battery.

Ji Li's situation was like, he suddenly stopped using thermal energy to generate electricity, and inexplicably switched to nuclear energy.

But the core of this "generator" is still an ordinary thermal energy generator. Isn't this incredible?

Although in terms of quantity, it has not reached the level of "nuclear power generation", but the carrying capacity of the trinity is insufficient. This is probably what it means.

"And the composition of your spiritual essence is extremely complex... Well, I can't say it's complex. Anyway, I've never seen someone with so many different characteristics... This may be caused by the characteristics of your split envoy."

"How do ordinary Splitter Envoys solve this problem?"

The medical specialist was immediately ashamed:

"Generally, the splitting mechanism... does not have as many spiritual qualities as you..."

At the same time, he was secretly complaining in his heart, mainly because of surprise. It was hard to imagine what kind of mental state our General Manager was in before he awakened.

After all, generally speaking, a personality entity corresponds to at most one trait, and the special ones can have two, and three is the limit.

But our... ten? Twenty?
He shuddered when he thought about the parameters he had just seen on the instrument.

"Then there is no other solution?" Jasmine frowned and asked.

The medical specialist shook his head:

"Either you cultivate to the next level as soon as possible, or... you need to adjust your cognition and calm your emotions. Try to avoid taking action during this period, otherwise the spiritual core may crack due to excessive load..."

"I see. You can go down first. No need to close the door. I want to get some fresh air."

"Yes, I will study it internally and come up with a solution as soon as possible. Before that, you can use some healing psychic items to alleviate the situation..."

The medical specialist stood up, bowed, and left.

Ji Li frowned. Obviously, all the other nonsense was meaningless. It was mainly caused by his promotion last night.

The feeling of his soul swelling had occurred before, but after he condensed the second Heart Blade, which was his second form, that feeling quickly disappeared.

I didn't expect that something went wrong in the end...

But this also explains a question that has troubled Ji Li for a long time:

After I came to this world, I was unable to use my original soul power, probably because of the carrying capacity.

Relying on some external objects, such as predator seeds, it opens its own spiritual prison and enters the special laws of the predator.

Or he can temporarily unlock this power by using the Personality Shadow Burst Device or some other special circumstances, directly revealing his soul itself.

"Then we have to reach the third type as soon as possible..."

Just as he was thinking, Jasmine beside him suddenly said:
"Sir...can you let me try?"

"?" Ji Li looked at Jasmine.

"After receiving your...gift, my abilities have been greatly enhanced. I think I might be able to give it a try..."

Jasmine looked a little hesitant, and it was clear that she wasn't very confident:
"Recently, when I was training my spiritual core ability, I discovered that my spiritual steel wire exists in two states: tangible and intangible."

"In the second state, it seems that I can touch the spiritual essence itself... I don't know if it will work, but maybe I can find some way?"

Ji Li suddenly fell silent, and Jasmine suddenly lowered her eyes:

"Of course... I know this might reveal your thoughts... Well, never mind..."

"It's okay, you can try it."

Jasmine looked up suddenly and saw Ji Li nodding his head:
"It's okay. I trust you."

The young adjutant smiled immediately:
"Thanks for your trust!"

"But be careful not to go too deep, or you'll get hurt."

"understand!"

After a moment, Jasmine stood in front of Ji Li's seat, leaned over gently, and placed her white and tender hands on both sides of Ji Li's temples, one on the left and one on the right, trembling a little.

She felt a little excited and a little scared.

She was so excited that she was a little nervous whether she could see his thoughts.

She was afraid that Ji Li's perfect image in her eyes would be broken, and she was also afraid that her ability would hurt the other person.

So she gently rubbed Ji Li's temples, and her soft fingers moved from the forehead to the shoulders and neck, relaxing Ji Li's nerves to the greatest extent.

This was indeed effective in physically relieving Ji Li's headache, and he simply closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of the adjutant.

After a moment, Jasmine activated the invisible steel wire and slowly probed into Ji Li's soul.

Like a storm, she felt that her mind was instantly thrown into a vast ocean in a hurricane, like a small boat, tossed and swayed in the huge waves.

She was frightened by the terrible tsunami-like fluctuations in her thoughts. She hurriedly stabilized her mind and slowly explored into Ji Li's spiritual essence.

Gradually, she touched Ji Li's emotions and thoughts, but she could not sense what it meant, only a very vague feeling.

It is probably made up of countless balls of thread, one is called "anger", one is called "enjoyment", and that one is called the feeling of "pride".

When Jasmine tried to sort out the threads, she felt as if her shaky feeling was relieved a little, and she immediately became more energetic.

effective.

At the same time, Ji Li also felt that the swelling feeling deep in his soul was relieved a little.

The breakthrough from zero to one excited Jasmine. She continued to sort out the "balls of thread" and arrange them smoothly.

It is also like a city architect who divides out various roads, which are interspersed with each other but do not interfere with each other, making the roads smooth.

Gradually, she felt more and more at ease.

Ji Li also felt a comfortable sense of stability coming from the depths of his soul, and the feeling of his soul swelling was disappearing rapidly.

At this moment, Jasmine discovered a special "ball of thread". When she touched it, she immediately sensed the emotion:
Astringent desire.

Her face turned red, and she thought to herself that he was indeed not a man without desires.

Then, without paying much attention to it, he directly took away the "ball of thread" and prepared to straighten it out as before.

In an instant, Ji Li, who had originally had a peaceful expression, suddenly opened his eyes:
"Wait, Jasmine!!"

The next moment, a pink curse mark suddenly appeared on Ji Li's face, spreading from one side of his face to his neck and chest, radiating a vibrant spiritual light -

The curse of Qin.

Then he felt a body as soft as boneless with scalding heat suddenly falling into his arms——

The young adjutant's body was trembling, his deep blue eyes were filled with pink mist, and his face was flushed with a deep blush.

As a mouthful of sweet hot air sprayed on Ji Li's face, Ji Li clearly saw the sticky silver lines in her mouth:
"Sir, I suddenly feel very strange..."

……

"Why did you come out? How is the Director General doing?"

Yan Xiyu grabbed the medical specialist who was walking by and frowned.

The medical specialist saluted immediately:

"Yan Zhengjian! The director-general's condition is somewhat special. Although it is not fatal, it still has some impact. I am just about to go back to the medical team to retrieve some cases."

"Is he still in the office?"

"Of course it's there."

"Ah."

Yan Xiyu let go of the other person and walked towards Ji Li's office.

This guy... not only did he not take me with him when there was such a big incident yesterday, but he didn't even tell me when something went wrong today. Really...

Soon, Yan Xiyu arrived in front of Ji Li's office, saw the half-open door, and pushed it open:

"Ji Li, how are you..."
