Soul Trigger

Chapter 449 Clues
In response to Ji Li's question, Tombstone took a sip of wine comfortably.

Ji Li could almost hear the sound of the thing sterilizing the inside of the corpse:

“Yes, the other party’s position is very important. As for what kind of problems he caused... I’m sorry, I don’t know either, because the chief didn’t tell us.

So even I want to know what he has researched that could make a Curse-Binder so interested...

Ji Li frowned:
"Is the appearance of the chief of Tower of Babel related to this matter?"

"That's right." Tombstone nodded.

In the previous call, Tombstone revealed that the Tower of Babel had disappeared for six years, and even he was surprised to see it reappear:
"So, you are very lucky. This mission is a bit difficult. If you complete it well, you should be able to get the attention of the chief. It is a great achievement, and maybe even some of your excessive requests can be met..."

Ji Li suddenly raised his eyes:

He thought of the fragments of film.

At present, there is no progress in Da Lei’s commission, but Feilin has helped him a lot, and he is suspected to be a powerful paradox master, so he will naturally help if he can.

If we can directly contact the "chief" of the Tower of Babel through this mission and get in touch with the fragments of the thunder, the value of the adventure will increase a bit.

Ji Li pondered:
"I need more detailed intelligence about the assassination. To collect his research data, I need to get close to him, or even gain his trust to get deeper into his research institute."

"It seems that you have accepted it, not bad..."

Tombstone said that he would cooperate with Ji Li's actions, but if the final mission failed, or exceeded the time limit and there was no gain -

Seeing the magenta light flashing in its eyes, Ji Li smiled and said:

"Why, you come and clean up the mess?"

"No, I'm just taking you back. The Chief will be responsible for deciding your fate. The Tower of Babel doesn't need useless dead apostles. That fate is not pleasant. Even I, who took you with me and executed you without asking for permission, will be punished accordingly."

Ji Li spread his hands: "Then we are now grasshoppers on the same rope."

Tombstone nodded: "That's right, so you keep this thing for now."

He suddenly took out a small box and pushed it to Ji Li:
"The appearance of the Chief is also a mistake in my plan. In order to live together in the future, it can also be regarded as a testimony to the small friendship between us. After all, I turned you into a dead apostle for my own selfish reasons..."

Ji Li opened the box a crack, and his blue eyes lit up slightly——

Crystallized in another world.

"Take it easy. This thing is absolutely prohibited in Shulong. Be careful."

"I see."

Ji Li stood up and prepared to leave, but Tombstone suddenly called him again:
"By the way, do you still have to call me Black Goat in the Tower of Babel? I can't always call you by your real name. There are too many people eavesdropping here..."

Ji Li turned his pale blue eyes:

"Odin."

"Call me Odin."

……

The next day, Ji Li was sitting in his study, sipping wine and looking at the computer screen in front of him.

It is filled with various information related to "Dragon Leap Festival" and "Li Jiangxing".

The so-called Dragon Leap Festival is somewhat similar to Silla's Pilgrimage Day. Both are large-scale rituals held under the witness of a large group of human spirits to stabilize the spiritual ecology.

The purpose is similar, but the ceremony itself is very different from the ecology of Shulong. This ceremony is not only a festival of Shulong, but also related to the king's election, and even related to the fluctuations of the "Grand Tomb". It is very important to both mortals and awakeners of Shulong.

There are still many days until this day.

As for the information about Li Jiangxing himself, there is too much of it.

Apart from the tombstones, Ji Li asked the Yuanling Palace to collect them, and even on the ordinary Internet, you can find a lot of them:

Shulong is a well-known sociology researcher with a doctorate degree and has been awarded the title of Tengjun. He has served as a guest on current affairs programs and has long appeared in various media as an international political commentator.

He owns several private laboratories, and even inside the Forbidden City, he manages a research institute called "Yinglin Research Institute".

Moreover, he has established various scholarship funds and social charity funds, participated in poverty alleviation work, built several welfare homes named after him, etc.

Looking at those photos of the welfare home, Ji Li felt a little confused. This guy was a big shot, and a very troublesome big shot.

The success of the action is a big problem, and if he acts rashly, he may not be able to leave Shulong alive.

He looked at the unfolded foldable phone on the table:
It was a picture of a white-haired old man and a large blood-red crystal relief. It was information from the tombstone.

The white-haired old man is Li Jiangxing. He has an ordinary appearance but a tall stature, a goatee, and wears reading glasses.

And that large piece of blood-colored crystal relief is naturally the crystal from another world.

Things like crystals from other worlds are absolutely contraband in Shulong. They are either destroyed or placed in various research institutes and laboratories.

The piece next to Li Jiangxing is naturally the latter situation. If the assassination is successful, this thing will naturally fall into Ji Li's pocket.

He couldn't imagine what state the restored memories and the given personality relics would be in if this entire piece was completely absorbed by him.

The alien crystal in the photo is probably about a dozen times the size of Li Jiangxing, and is the largest one Ji Li has ever seen.

According to the tombstone, this photo is quite old, but even if that alien crystal is ground into powder and eaten with wine every day, there will still be a lot of Li Jiangxing left, which shows how tempting it is to Ji Li at the moment.

"We got quite a bit of information from Yuanling Palace... He has positions at the Dragon Vein Covenant Bureau and the Soul Bureau, and even Suo Yi has connections with him."

"With the status of Ling's heir, and relying on the relationship with King Yuanling, I should be able to get a position close to him quickly. The only problem is how to do it naturally and from what angle..."

Such a being must have a lot of guards around him.

Trust is one thing, stealing information and intelligence is one thing, getting in touch with the alien crystals in the other party's hands is one thing, and how to do it is another thing.

There is too much information and it is too complicated. There are many angles to approach it, which is quite troublesome.

However, the Ascension Protocol has not yet figured out how to filter out the appropriate way to approach the other party from this information.

But the initial plan must be to get close to Li Jiangxing first and then make a decision.

Just as Ji Li was thinking, the doorbell rang in his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

He got up, went downstairs, opened the door, and saw an unexpected figure:

Ji Ruoxi was standing at his door with her face turned away. When she noticed the door was opened, she turned her eyes slightly:
"……morning."

"What a rare guest..."

Ji Li looked at her and was about to make way for her to come in, but Ji Ruoxi raised her hand:
"…No need, I just came to apologize. By the way, my father wants to see you, so I came to inform him."
