Soul Trigger

Chapter 447 Turing
Ji Li was slightly stunned, thinking, does this phone number also have spiritual connection, and it automatically connects to Rabbit to call him?

I pressed the connect button while thinking about all sorts of things. Unfortunately, this possibility did not exist because a strange, muffled voice came from inside:

"Elepsy?"

Ji Li frowned:
"In armor?"

"Yes, it's me. I changed my phone number. Numbers from other countries don't work well in Shulong."

It was Tombstone calling, but its voice was different from the one Ji Li was familiar with before.

"So, you have arrived at Shulong. Is your conference finally over?"

"That's about right. The mission that needs to be assigned to you has already passed everyone's public review... Why don't you guess how many votes are willing to accept your joining?"

Ji Li said casually: "Passed unanimously."

Tombstone sneered: "You are so confident... 2 to 9."

Ji Li was happy:

"Interesting... That is to say, apart from Su Yan who was killed by me, almost no one except you agrees... Who is the other one who voted in favor?"

"The Knight of the Stain."

Ji Li was slightly stunned:
"what?"

"Surprising, huh? That was a huge shock, we haven't seen him in years... He has a veto power."

The Knight of the Stain is the chief of the Tower of Babel mentioned before the tombstone, one of the founders, and a cursed dead apostle who is opposite to the paradox-level human spirit.

"He probably hasn't seen you before, so you are very lucky. But luck is also a special kind of thing. This further proves that I was right to choose you..."

Ji Li said calmly:
"So, when do we start?"

"Theoretically, we can do it now, because I have already arrived at Mirage City. But I am in a bit of trouble right now, so let's do it at 3 a.m. tomorrow night."

"…You're being targeted?"

"It's not a target, it's just a personal issue. We can meet now, but I prefer tomorrow."

"Okay, then tomorrow night. It happens to be a bit troublesome for me to go out at night, so I need to prepare in advance..."

"Ah..." A mocking voice came from the tombstone on the other side:

"The most beautiful little prince seen once in a thousand years, huh? I've also seen the news. It seems like you're doing well in Shulong..."

Ji Li hung up the phone directly and thought for a moment.

Now that the tombstone has arrived in Mirage City, and has become familiar with the surrounding situation over the past week, it is time to absorb the alien crystal.

Ji Li returned to his room, sat on the bed, and took out a crystal from another world the size of his little finger.

That was the welcome gift given by the tombstone after he was transformed into a Dead Apostle. Before coming to Shulong, he had never had the opportunity to absorb it.

After arriving in Shulong, considering the previous situation of the black hole, although this crystal is very small, we still have to be prepared for any eventuality, otherwise this contraband in Shulong is likely to cause trouble.

After all, strictly speaking, he is also a member of the Tower of Babel at the moment, and there is no need to attract unnecessary investigations.

The situation is now completely stable, and Tombstone is about to complete the notarization through the first "blood evidence" operation, allowing him to completely join the Tower of Babel and participate in the meetings of this Dead Apostles organization.

Well, I can use this thing now, just in time to see what new abilities I can get, and it can also help me recover my past memories.

Gradually, the crystal from another world became lighter and faded in Ji Li's hand.

His eyes were spinning, and when he regained his normal vision, he saw the familiar HUD:

Lost memories, Odin's perspective.

He heard the heavy rain outside the window, the beeping sensor prompts of sophisticated electronic instruments, and the blocked thunder outside.

He was in a high-tech room. Although it was a bit cramped, it was filled with gadgets he had rarely seen before.

A figure was standing in front of him. The self in his memory was speaking. Looking at the figure in front of him, a large number of logical frames appeared on the HUD to lock the other party, and the perspective was zoomed in:

"I finally see you..."

"What should I call you? Firefly? Second Harbinger?"

"Or... the founder - Turing?"

Ji Li's soul suddenly shook——

Damn, the guy named "Firefly" in my last memory was the founder of World Tree?!

At this moment, the figure also turned around. His body was covered with dense mechanical exoskeleton, all made of the roots of the World Tree, and the center of the inverted triangle visor on his head radiated red light:

"Congratulations, Odin."

"You are the first person to successfully pass through the matrix blockade in all these years..."

"Fuck you."

Ji Li saw himself rushing forward suddenly. Judging from the arms he saw from his perspective, he seemed to still have the same black hole-structured body as before, but it had obviously become more sophisticated.

The huge silver-black claw lifted up Turing's body and pressed him hard on the operating table:
"You bastard... are you the one controlling the ascension? What on earth did you do? Why did the sky become like this?!"

Turing did not answer, but raised his hand, and the violent roots of the World Tree burst out, blasting Ji Li's perspective away. When he got up, he saw eight mechanical tentacles extending from behind the opponent, supporting Turing's body, and operating rapidly on the operating table:

"Don't worry, I just happened to have a new discovery today... You have to wait until I finish my research before we can talk about you and Ascension."

"What the hell are you talking about..."

Before he finished speaking, a large amount of data streams surrounded Ji Li. The founder of the World Tree seemed to be presenting some information to him. A voice with a distinct electric noise came:

"Do you believe that humans have souls?"

Odin paused:
"You must talk to me about philosophy today?"

Turing said: "This is not philosophy, this is science. Tell me your answer."

"should have."

Turing turned around and said, "Yes, yes. No, no. There is no 'should' in science. Science is very rigorous... Well, forget it. I shouldn't let my muscle head answer this question. This is not your area of ​​expertise..."

Ji Li and Odin in his memory both had a twitch in their heads:
Suddenly I want to crush this bastard to death...

Turing continued:

"I used to think that the soul, under the influence of the power code of the Supreme Matrix, had also become a codable part and could only be read through the Supreme Matrix... until I discovered the true soul."

Turing showed Ji Li the mechanical tentacles, which were filled with gray-black matter and appeared in the form of square particles:
"Look at your Ascension Protocol. Does it tell you that this soul also has mass?"

Odin was skeptical:

"Are you sure this isn't some fireworks mixture of gunpowder and uric acid?"

Turing glanced at him:
"Of course not. I'm not trying to fool you. This thing is like a soul, but it's not like a soul, because under the coding rules of the Supreme Matrix, it shouldn't have appeared, and it has mass...

As the first discoverer in the world, even the Supreme Matrix doesn't know about this thing, so I should have the right to name it."

"Turing" said proudly:

"What do you think this thing should be called?"

Odin smiled and said casually:
"A soul with mass is called spiritual essence."
-
Ji Li suddenly opened his eyes, and the Ascension Protocol had already lit up a large scarlet light in front of him:
[Warning, warning, abnormal soul fluctuations appear...]

[Warning! Warning! Warning! The current soul state is abnormal... Unauthorized coding link detected...]

Ji Li fell on the bed in a strong dizziness, and opened his five fingers with difficulty. A gray-black particle of spiritual essence burst out from the palm of his hand:

[Personality Fragments: Turing's Plan]

[Soul Quality: Incomplete]

【characteristic:? ? ? 】

[Cannot be materialized]

"Fuck...what's going on..."

Ji Li covered his head and took a long time to come back to his senses from the severe dizziness, breathing heavily.

Looking at the inexplicable thing in his hand, he was completely confused.

But what shocked him even more was Odin's last words -

"Ectoplasm? How can it be ectoplasm?"

He actually named the ectoplasm? And how come it is in Murphy's megastructure? Is this a coincidence?
He dialed Tombstone's number almost instantly:
"Where are you? We need to meet."

"What's wrong?" Tombstone's voice sounded a little surprised. It heard the urgency in Ji Li's tone.

"I need more Alien Crystals! Now!!!"
-
PS: I was so sleepy these past two nights, sorry for being a day late.

I deleted and revised it many times today, and I am trying my best to make up for it...
