Soul Trigger

Chapter 448 Blood Evidence

In the bar in the city that never sleeps, Ji Li, who was covered tightly, appeared in the colorful flashing lights, and his blue eyes looked inexplicably strange.

As a member of the royal family, he has been photographed by various media recently. Due to the dragon vein, the variant camouflage cannot be used for the time being. Now he can only resort to this last resort when going out in the middle of the night.

He found a booth in the corner amid the chaotic lights:
“Why did you choose this place?”

The hunched figure opposite raised his head.

A huge hood covered his head, hiding most of his face, and only his slightly bluish complexion could be seen.

However, his magenta eyes and the chess board on the table revealed his true identity: Tombstone.

"Isn't it because you are anxious to see me that I have to choose this place?"

Tombstone pointed to the table:
"Play a game with me?"

"General."

Ji Li sat down, picked up the black king and kicked his white king down:
"Why not play Shulong chess."

"Because I can't. And besides, you're really rude."

Tombstone was not angry either. He crossed his fingers and rested his chin on the table, looking Ji Li up and down:
"Although Prince Yuanling should have adjusted his appearance for you, even his eyes are so charming. He is worthy of being called 'the most beautiful young prince rarely seen in a thousand years'. Did you make yourself so attractive to mortals?"

"I didn't know you were into gossip. But you... you look like this?"

Ji Li put the wine he had picked up when he came in on the table, and noticed the bulging chest of Tombstone.

Although the existence of [Rage Dragon Suit] has made Ji Li's current power after "transforming into a dragon" surpass the power he had when he used "Evil Spirit Transformation" + "Air Cage Armor" in Silla.

It's just that due to the lack of some of the techniques that Lawrence possessed when using the Sora no Myougoku, and the barrel effect, the other two types cannot be used for the time being.

But because of this, the "morphing camouflage" technique he developed that can change appearance and spiritual fluctuations can no longer be used, which is a bit regrettable.

Therefore, Ji Li adjusted his appearance through the dragon-patterned ring given to him by King Yuanling. This is another function of the ring besides space storage.

Before, he used the appearance of his original body "Ji Li", and now he has mixed the appearance of his past as a Murphy megastructure carbon-based life form into it. He is basically the son of my present self and my past self.

But even if his appearance changes drastically, due to his high concentration of affinity, which is the manifestation of the unity of body and soul, his appearance and soul will not change the strong attraction to human spirits and certain evil things.

This is also the reason why he has frequently appeared in various gossip news even though he has only been here for a few days.

Even when Ji Li walked in just now, he saw a female customer holding her mobile phone and watching the self-media hype about his beautiful blue eyes, which made him almost put on his sunglasses.

Facing Ji Li's question about its appearance, the tombstone smiled:

"Is it the style you like that I found in the cemetery?"

"It's just a temperature problem, it's not unusable."

"Then you are really cruel..."

In order to sneak into Shulong and deceive the dragon vein, Tombstone disguised himself as a corpse to avoid the dragon vein's spiritual detection.

According to it, this is a temporary measure and long-term measures are not yet ready, so we have to make do with it for now.

"Although your appearance has been adjusted, and even if you are now being exposed by all kinds of gossip, it is indeed impossible to tell with the medium of images..." Tombstone commented: "But if your Silla friends encounter you head-on in Shulong, with this kind of 'attraction', you can still be recognized instantly.

Your fake death won’t matter then, but your relationship with us might be exposed, especially you and me.”

Ji Li said meaninglessly:
"When entering the country, the people who attacked me will reveal some clues. But it takes time for information to be transmitted. It doesn't matter what happens in the future, but I'm just keeping it secret for now."

After briefly confirming each other's identities, Ji Li got straight to the point:
"Do you have any otherworldly crystals?"

"Yes, but I don't have a reason to give you now... You have to pass the blood certificate first before you can truly be considered one of us."

"When does the blood evidence begin?"

"Give me your hand."

The tombstone stretched out the blue-gray corpse's palm, on which was the skull ring biting the knuckles.

As their hands gently clasped together, a trace of spiritual essence flowed into Ji Li's soul through the ring.

In an instant, the trigger of his soul throbbed slightly, and the noise and bustle around him disappeared in an instant.

A mixture of long mumblings and conversations entered my ears, and a large number of strange visions emerged before my eyes.

"Li Jiangxing, senior academician of the Shulong Forbidden City Research Institute and a special researcher."

The original sound of the tombstone echoed in Ji Li's ears:

"This person specializes in research related to the other world. He has done very in-depth research on everything from the causes to the actual phenomena, and even the reflection of the deep other world and dragon veins, that is, the resentful dragon itself."

"As one of the key figures supporting the research of the Shulong world, in a sense, his ability and status even surpass that of the Ling Wang..."

"Recently, there has been a special fluctuation in the inner world. Some deep inner worlds have experienced unreasonable abnormal riots. We reasonably suspect that this is related to his research.

However, we don’t know the specific project name and research content. We only know that it is a study of the deep inner world and has achieved certain results.”

Those strange visions danced in front of Ji Li's eyes, turning into a strange planet's heart, beating slightly.

The sound of the tombstone continues:
"This secret project was named "Ouroboros Pulse" by the Tower of Babel based on the vision of the other world. We want to know what secrets are hidden in that project."

"And your mission is to obtain all the intelligence and information about the Ouroboros project, and finally kill its initiator, Li Jiangxing, because this person has shaken some of the rules."

The vision disappeared, and Tombstone had loosened his cold fingers and began to fiddle with the chess pieces in front of him:
"Any questions?"

"Of course there are... and a lot of them."

Ji Li narrowed his blue eyes:

"What kind of thing could trigger a riot in the deep world? And what kind of connection do you... no, what kind of connection do we have with the riot in the deep world that requires us to go to such lengths?"

From what he said, this guy is really amazing. His research can actually reach the deep inner world and even seems to have affected the Tower of Babel.

And if this man named Li Jiangxing really has such status, killing him will definitely cause unrest in the world of Shulong Daoying Walker, especially in the official world.

Does this mean that there is a deep connection between the Dead Apostles, or the Dead Apostles of Babel, and the other world, so much so that they are willing to risk angering Shulong in order to kill each other?
