Soul Trigger

Chapter 43 The Language of Sunflowers
How can I verify whether the words of a person who has been caught by me and has been hiding in the dark and spying on me are credible?

It's simple, give him a chance and see what he does.

The result is obvious, negative.

Although your skill of playing dead is pretty good, I, your uncle, have done so many scams and deceptions in the past three hundred years. How can I fall for your trick?
299-year-old Uncle Ji Li rubbed his palms, thinking that he still had to wash his hands:
"Although there has not been much progress, the information in this rat's mouth should be a mixture of truth and falsehood. It can be considered an unexpected gain..."

As Ji Li walked back, he took out his cell phone and dialed the number -

The appearance of the rat forced him to make preparations for the subsequent investigation.

……

In the present world, in a corner of the school.

A gentlemanly young man suddenly fell off a chair, his whole body convulsing and shaking strangely, black blood flowing from his nose and eyes. He seemed to be in great pain, and let out a scream that was suppressed to the point of losing his voice.

It was not until more than ten seconds later that this reaction gradually subsided. The young man wiped the blood off his face and sat up, panting. His eyes were full of bloodshot.
"Fuck you, you stupid little brat!!!"

He pushed the mug off the table and smashed the desk:

"Idiot! Bastard! You fool! How dare you scare me with a cat!!!"

A jar rolled to his feet. He grabbed the Soul Well supplement and took a few big gulps. The crazy pain gradually eased.

Just now when he was frightened by the cats, causing his spiritual essence to fluctuate, problems also arose with the group of rats that were firmly sealing the reflection world. In the end, he failed to escape and was dismembered by the cats, which directly caused his spiritual essence to go out of control. One third of his spiritual essence was exploded out of thin air, and both his body and soul well were damaged.

It was just a small reckless advance during routine surveillance, and I didn't expect to suffer such a loss.

He took several deep breaths and forced himself to calm down:

"...We can't let him throw us off balance. The most important thing is to seal it, otherwise everything will be ruined... If we can't complete the bet, we can put the blame on him. Even the Film Witch can't do anything to me..."

He lowered his head, rummaged through the ruins of the desk for a while, and found a broken photo frame. He stared at the figure on it and gritted his teeth:

"If that doesn't work... then use the Red Whip Society..."

At this moment, a cat's cry came from outside the window, which frightened him -

His eyes instantly turned red, and his whole body began to shake wildly as if from stress. Then he instantly jumped onto the windowsill and squeezed a black cat to death.

……

Friday morning.

After Ji Li finished his last push-up, he went into the small bathroom, sweating profusely, and took a shower. After combing his hair, he took his bag and went to school.

Before he knew it, he had been in this school for a week. He now does some exercise every morning and after school to make his body stronger.

According to his knowledge, for a normal awakened person, physical training can bring about positive emotions and thoughts, thereby allowing the spiritual essence to grow slowly.

At the same time, because of awakening, the activities of the spirit require the behavior of the body as a medium, and the actions of the body will receive feedback from the spirit.

Based on this principle, the physical energy growth efficiency of awakened people is also higher than that of normal people.

Although Ji Li has not yet returned to the big man status he was when he was a natural mercenary, more than a week of training has made his overall spirit and energy closer to that of a normal person.

At the same time, the muscles in my body are gradually tightening, and I can clearly feel that my body is getting closer to getting out of the sub-healthy state.

After arriving at the school, Ji Li followed the crowd into the school auditorium——

There was a school-wide morning meeting this morning.

Along the way, many students cast various looks at him. Compared with the commotion on the floors caused when he first entered the school, these looks contained less fear and disgust and more curiosity and admiration.

When you appear like a hero and save people from suffering in front of the whole school, even the biggest villain will have to be filtered through a layer of glory.

Although it may sound a bit exaggerated, the strange looks have decreased a lot. At least Ji Li can talk to some classmates and do some research.

At this moment, he felt a tap on his right shoulder, but he turned his head to the left and saw a surprised Che Li:

"morning."

"Morning...How did you know I was on the left?"

"You seem to be in a good mood today. You even have time to play such childish tricks. Have you completed the task?"

"If there is no problem with your instrument, then there is one more thing left." Che Li did smile a little more.

"in trouble?"

"It's not a big problem. I'll get the last one soon... What are you going to do after you get them all?"

"That's right up there in 'The Exorcist' territory."

"Oh, ordinary people are not allowed to enter?"

"I just like your cleverness, Vice President's sister."

"... Could you please not call me that..."

Although she was very curious, Che Li did not ask any more questions due to her good manners.

At this time, a pair of figures in front attracted the attention of the two people——

Zou Ke, a girl with bob haircut, and Jiang In-seong, a man wearing a mask.

The two men seemed to be entangled in something again, and in the end the masked man was pulled apart by the teacher.

The boy seemed to be holding something in his hand, which fell to the ground during the tug of war. It was a wooden music box with a gift bow on it.

He picked up the things alone, feeling somewhat lonely, and stood at the door in a daze for a long time.

Until a boy wearing a "Cute Pet Club" baseball cap came over, patted him on the shoulder, whispered a few words, and then took him in.

Witnessing this scene, Che Li sighed:

"The troubles of adolescence..."

"I see little brats complaining about other little brats being too little brats."

"And there's a little brat next to me complaining about other little brats complaining about other little brats being too little brats." Che Li was dissatisfied.

"? The top student is quite good at bickering, almost catching up with my friend."

"Your friend? Male or female."

"female."

"…I'm beginning to be afraid of the words you use when you mention me in front of others…"

The two chatted casually along the way and soon entered the auditorium.

Before parting, Che Li winked at Ji Li mysteriously, leaving him a little puzzled.

In the auditorium, all the high school students stood in neat rows.
A short but well-behaved boy walked onto the stage. He was the student union president of this class.

After the school affairs were read out, seven or eight minutes had passed. At this moment, the lights in the auditorium suddenly turned off. Just as the students were whispering, a spotlight hit Ji Li, instantly attracting all attention.

The president of the student union read out the manuscript loudly, which was basically about an emergency during the previous physical test, and how Ji Li stepped forward to save the teachers and students at the scene. Although his behavior was not worthy of promotion, this kind of selfless and courageous spirit should be encouraged and commended.

"Next, please invite Ji Li to the stage!"

Ji Li looked helplessly towards a corner of the auditorium. Che Li, who was standing in front of several student union cadres, smiled at him and winked.

The track and field guy from before was standing behind her. This time he was no longer hostile, but his expression was full of envy.

[The human spirit cluster envies your existence]

[The human spirit community greatly appreciates your presence]

[The human spirit cluster worships your existence]

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

really……

The hot curse of the other world was cooling down. Ji Li had gradually gotten used to this feeling. He walked straight forward and stood on the stage, and the audience immediately burst into applause.

【Cognitive Index +1】

Just as the student union president began this small commendation ceremony with words of praise, a young girl holding a large bouquet of flowers rushed onto the stage amid cheers from below.

He looked closely and saw that it was the girl with the bob haircut named Zou Ke. Her face was flushed from jogging and her eyes were shy, but she handed the big bouquet of flowers to Ji Li generously.

Those are sunflowers, symbolizing sincere gratitude and praise for courage.

After Ji Li took the bouquet, the girl mustered up the courage to give him a hug before running away with a red face. There was applause and cheering from below.

【Grateful, Thrilling】

【Cognitive Index +1】

【Yearning, throbbing】

【Cognitive Index +2】

It should be said that Ji Li is indeed very happy now——

So much money.

In the corner of the auditorium, the boy wearing a mask looked at the scene on the stage with a grim face, and felt his whole body getting colder and colder.

At this moment, a hand patted his shoulder. It was Shuncheng, his good friend who had just begun to comfort him from the door:

"Don't think too much, don't feel stressed. Young men and women who are in love always tend to think too much."

"Once you think too much and do the wrong thing, you will never be able to win back Ke Ke's heart."

"But……"

Jiang Yincheng's lips moved:

"She sent him flowers... She sent him flowers..."

"Hey, what are you worried about? That's a sunflower. How about a sunflower?"

Sunseong patted Jiang Yincheng's shoulder vigorously: "What is the meaning of sunflower?"

"I have no idea."

"It's a feeling of gratitude and a praise of courage!"

Is that the case?

His expression improved.

"So, you and Keke have known each other for such a long time, you have to believe in the deep feelings between you and Keke! Even if you encounter setbacks, couples will quarrel. What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yincheng let out a sigh of relief, took another deep breath, and looked at his friend with gratitude:
"Thank you, Shuncheng, I feel better..."

The morning meeting ended quickly.

He was lost in thought among the crowd, and silently opened the search bar on his phone:

[What is the flower language of sunflower? ]

……

After the campus morning assembly, Ji Li became completely famous throughout the school, or it would be more appropriate to use the word "become popular again".

Although it is not possible to completely change his "lunatic" image, at least his positive image has been imprinted in the eyes of many people. Now wherever he goes, people whisper about him, and the world curse gives him a hint from time to time.

It’s just that not as much as before, the income is all in double digits after the decimal point, which can be considered a long-term steady flow of income.

After school in the afternoon, on the rooftop of the club building, Ji Li was talking on the phone.

"Old Ji, that's great. You sent me flowers and hugs. I didn't expect you to do so well in school?" Jin Misha's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"How did you know?"

"It's all over our school, but you didn't see the heroic scene of saving the beautiful girl. Why didn't anyone record you at the time?"

"Why record it? You want the whole Xinnan District to know that there is a student in Aries College who is born with supernatural powers, right?"

"I want to see your heroic appearance, brother! Are you so popular in the school that the president of the student union will come running to you for a hug just by waving your finger?"

"The student council president of our school is a man... and I have a normal sexual orientation."

"Then Vice President, didn't you say a few days ago that you were asking her to cooperate with your investigation? How is the situation?"

"Now there is only one thing left..."

hum-

The phone suddenly vibrated. Ji Li picked it up and immediately hung up the call from Bunny Girl and pressed the answer key:
"Che Li?"

"..."

There was no sound from the other side, but there was a faint male voice muttering something:
"The language of the sunflower is gratitude and courage... The language of the sunflower is gratitude and courage..."

"No, no, no, the sunflower is a symbol of love. The flower language of the sunflower is silent love... The flower language of the sunflower is silent love..."

"…The flower language of sunflower is silent love…!"

"Shuncheng, why did you lie to me, why did you lie to me...!!!"
