Soul Trigger

Chapter 365: The Abyss of Alaya Consciousness (I)

Anato said: "I came here today with the goodwill of Flash Street. I believe the Special Management Bureau has also sensed our sincerity..."

Chief Prosecutor Jiang Zhenhe did not comment:
"In one night, they raided the Lightless Ones and killed one of their leaders, the Chosen One. That was indeed a sincere act... But forgive me for being blunt.

Although the Special Management Bureau has a favorable attitude towards your ideas and the cooperation between the two sides has been relatively smooth, I don’t understand why you do this.”

Jiang Zhenhe's words were euphemistic, but also very straightforward:

Why did your attitude change so quickly?
Anato's expression remained unchanged:
"The Special Management Bureau solved the problem of the Fairy of Phantom Light. In the eyes of the Lord of Darkness, this is the best reason."

Jiang Zhenhe sneered:
"So, it's still a matter of fists."

Anato complained in his heart, isn't it just a matter of fists? The real madman from the Black Sun Mansion came here and almost slaughtered everyone on Flash Street. The Lord of Darkness just stood there and watched the noble lady coming from Motali, and he had her arms torn off, and she didn't even dare to fart.

Who knows what kind of shit luck your Special Management Bureau has...

The Dark Lord's attitude had indeed changed, but when it came to the affairs of the Lightless, she wanted to sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers, and did not want to let Flash Street get involved.

Because the Lightless Ones are related to the arrangement of the Tower of Babel, the Lord of Darkness does not want to be involved.

Now, we have really formed a front with the Special Management Bureau and have to deal with a bunch of crazy Dead Apostles.

However, although Anado was secretly complaining in his heart, he mainly complained and did not have too many objections.

He had truly seen Ji Li's abilities in the outside world. In the entire Flash Street of Aurora City, he was the only one who truly faced the fear brought by the Black Goat.

Therefore, he was happy to see such a result.

In addition, he naturally has a little bit of his own selfishness:
"Mr. Director General, if you have no problem with the agreement... I have a personal request."

Chief Prosecutor Jiang Zhenhe frowned immediately:
"I saw you came here with official documents, but I didn't expect you were trying to get benefits for yourself..."

But Ji Li stood up:
“I don’t think that’s what he meant.”

He strolled to a place not far from Anado and took down the sword hanging on it:
"Give me some advice?"

Anato punched his chest, then leaned over to Ji Li:

"It is my honor..."

"Then do you know that you have to pay for getting beaten?" Ji Li narrowed his eyes.

Anato smiled and said:

"If you win, I will pay you back. I will also tell you everything I know, except for some important matters within the organization. But if you lose..."

Ji Li glanced at him:
"Young man, there is no such if."

……

Ten minutes later, Anato was sweating as he looked at Ji Li who was putting away his training sword. His wrist was shaking:
"I've never seen your style... It seems that there is no such school in Silla. I heard that you are from Shulong, but this is also very different from Shulong's style..."

As a Western awakener, Anato's practice method is neither the mainstream in the West nor the awakener way of Silla, but the Heart Blade system of the Black Sun Mansion.

Therefore, his understanding of swords is better than that of ordinary awakeners.

He himself is also a sword fanatic. In addition to his abilities as an awakened one, he is also extremely passionate about sword fighting.

If I were to use a simple word to describe it, it would be "martial arts fanatic", limited to swords.

The two did not use any spiritual core abilities, but only relied on the purest physical strength of the unity of spirit and flesh, and used the training swords of the Special Management Bureau to attack each other.

Ji Li picked up a standard modern long sword, while Anato used a rapier style.

Omitting the process, the ending is that he found himself completely unable to fight back.

This was not because Ji Li's combined power of soul and flesh was stronger, but because in the most basic sword fighting skills, he found that the rapier in his hand could not gain any advantage at all.

Unwilling to believe in evil, he was defeated in less than two minutes and tried to change to a half-sword. However, Ji Li knocked his defenses through continuously, leaving wounds on his limbs.

In the end, he also changed into a modern standard knife similar to Ji Li's, but was easily killed, and even his sword was directly knocked away.

He follows the Western style of sword fighting, but Ji Li... has no style.

After a fight, he felt that his every move was seen through by the opponent, and every feint was ignored by the opponent, and then his offensive was resolved by the simplest and most direct attack.

He was unable to defend or attack, and it seemed as if all his moves were seen through by his opponent.

Ji Li yawned, glanced at the trajectory calculation of the Ascension Protocol, and swung the long sword in his hand: "Do you want to continue?"

Anato smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Why bring disgrace upon yourself..."

This kind of pure sword fighting without any supernatural power is just a form of entertainment for Ji Li.

Anato looks to be less than 40 years old, and is a handsome, melancholy European boy. He is pretty good at swordplay.

But without the intervention of spiritual power, the human body in this world is ultimately limited to a few options, and ultimately it is nothing more than a competition of experience and physical fitness.

Ji Li has been playing tricks for many years, and you have been playing tricks for many years. As soon as he sticks his butt out, he knows what you, Anado, want to do.

Add to that the trajectory calculation of the Ascension Protocol, if you can win, wouldn’t it be that Ji Li’s hundreds of years of life were in vain?
Oh, we don’t know how many hundreds of years it will take yet, it may be more than three digits.

After ending this sword fight which was only a small pastime for Ji Li, Anato's psychological obsession with Ji Li's previous "bombardment swordsmanship" was also broken.

He was prepared to bleed heavily in his heart, but Ji Li didn't seem to be ready to squeeze anything out of him. He just asked a very simple question:

"How much do you know about the Flesh Gate?"

Are you just asking for information?
Anato heaved a sigh of relief.

This guy follows the Lord of Darkness and comes from the Blood Covenant Hermits behind Flash Street. His ethnicity has revealed his European and American background, so he should know some special information.

Back in Ji Li's director's office, Anato took the wine glass that Ji Li poured for him, took a sip, and praised Ji Li's taste.

After losing the sword fight to Ji Li, this guy's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he seemed to completely regard Ji Li as a fellow traveler.

The whiskey that Ji Li usually drinks in the office is also very much to his taste, and he does not hide his appreciation for his taste.

After chatting a little about personal hobbies, the topic turned to picking up girls. This guy was very sensitive to Ji Li's experienced nature from his words, and he immediately couldn't stop.

And even pulled it all the way to the piano:
"What a pity. I have come into contact with that woman several times, but she always ignored me. But you don't know that the more such a person is, the more difficult it is to extricate yourself from him."

"Think about it carefully. As the face of Aurora City's Flash Street, she is an absolute socialite, but few people can have private contact with her. This means that she actually doesn't care about social behavior."

"Her clothes show that she is very keen to show herself, but this forms a sharp contrast with her inner purity and resistance to the environment, which is also what makes Qin so eye-catching."

"Secondly, her own strength is not weak either. I heard that she has made some progress recently. She also represents a huge amount of resources. She is also a formal member under the blood pact. No one would be uninterested in such a woman."

"I don't know why, but recently there are more and more people in the Blood Pact Hermits who want to challenge her position..."

Ji Lixin said that he and Mingyuan Nv'er had in-depth exchanges countless times, why do you act like you know more than me? Finally, he couldn't help but speak:
"You've only been in Aurora City for a few days, and you've done such thorough research?"

Anato nodded:
"Oh, about that. I joined a small local association called Qinyouhui. I heard that you and Miss Qin have business cooperation? If you haven't joined, I can invite you to become a member..."

Ji Li covered his face. He really didn't expect that this idiot playing with swords would have the same style:
"That's enough about women... let's talk about the gate of flesh and blood."

Anado then stopped talking and said seriously:

"What do you want to know?"

"The Flesh Gate itself, and things related to the 'companion creatures' and the 'guardians'."

A hint of surprise flashed across Anato's eyes:
"Has the decentralization of the New Rote Administration reached this point?"

Ji Li shook his head:

"No, I'm the only one who knows."

If he could find relevant information about the Gate of Flesh and Blood in the Special Management Bureau, would he still need to ask you?

Anato nodded, looking a little strange:
"The Gate of Flesh and Blood is a top secret in our Blood Pact Hermits. Although I have been working for the Lord of Darkness for some years, I don't know the cause and core secrets of the Gate. But as for the companion creatures..."

"Did you know there are two types of flesh and blood gates?"

Ji Li nodded: "There are two kinds, black and red."

"Actually, black and red represent life and death. I mean, the life and death of the Gate of Flesh and Blood."

"The Black Gate is the gate of flesh and blood that is dead, while the Red Gate is the gate of life."

"As long as it is a living flesh and blood gate, there will be companion creatures. Those are... very dangerous things."
