Soul Trigger

Chapter 467 Consequences
"That is to say..."

Ji Li calmed down and accepted the researcher's examination while looking at Verdan who was tied up with restraints on the experimental table and was suspected of being forced to undergo an on-the-spot autopsy:
"It was this guy who secretly pushed forward the 'Red Heart' experiment, which led to his own split personality. Although he survived, he caused a joint riot in the Great Tomb and the Dragon Prison, and created several 'small tombs'?"

"That's about it..."

Li Jiangxing answered without even looking up. He was sorting out the various research results that Ji Li brought back, but he seemed to have discovered something wrong and frowned:
"…There's still something missing."

Almost all the results were there, and nothing was missing, which was a miracle. However, the alien crystal that was placed outside for experiments and some of the faded crystals that had been used were gone.

Ji Li naturally replied:

"It's Dragon Prison after all. Didn't you see that guy running several kilometers per second with his two heads shaking? It's normal for him to be missing some things... Don't you think so? Conjoined twins?"

Wildan, who was tied to the bed, nodded vigorously. Li Jiangxing narrowed his eyes and said nothing more. He asked his men to put away all the things and glanced at everyone.

King Yuanling sat on the high laboratory rack next to Ji Li with his legs crossed, raising himself to a level that was a head taller than Ji Li, demonstrating his authority as a father. He also put one hand on Ji Li's shoulder, secretly burning him with his spiritual essence.

Next to him was the vice-principal with a helpless look on his face. If he hadn't stopped him, King Yuanling would probably have fought with his son here.

Not to mention the culprit, Verdan, who was tied up and examined.

This guy was also very lucky. The moment he realized something was wrong with himself, he used the emergency secret technique taught by Li Jiangxing to separate his personality at the cost of the complete shrinkage of his Well of Soul.

But in the end, he was still swept into his mutated self's body and locked inside his deformed body.

It was not until Ji Li killed it directly that it had some breathing space and was able to half-escape in the form of conjoined twins.

Not to mention the consequences of this disaster, the current unrest it has caused is also considerable.

Now, alarms are sounding in the entire Mirage University area, people are evacuating, and the Lingbo Prison is rioting.

According to external current affairs news, there were also cases of shadow puppet performers causing chaos.

Even if the situation has been further contained, the blame will definitely be placed on Li Jiangxing and Weildan.

Li Jiangxing said solemnly:

"Neither I nor he will evade responsibility, but everyone, and His Royal Highness Prince Ling... The most urgent situation right now is not this. I'm afraid we have to go to court immediately to discuss how to solve it..."

As soon as the words "attend court" were spoken, the son's father, who was still arguing with Ji Li, turned his head and frowned:

"Now that the entrance has been closed, the Great Tomb and the Wrathful Dragon Hell have stopped rioting. As for those singularities, can't we just let the Soul Bureau handle them?

At worst, I can just come forward. Do we need to bring this up in court?"

"Going to court" originally referred to the period of the Old Tang and the New Tang when officials went to court to meet the emperor, report on state affairs and discuss government affairs.

In today's Shulong, "going to court" means opening the Supreme Council.

Although it is not necessary to wake up the Teng Jun who is in seclusion, it is absolutely necessary to go to court only when the country is in crisis or there is a regional subversive event.

Li Jiangxing said solemnly:

"Yes, the situation has been contained. We just need to deal with those few singularities, but the problem now is..."

He paused:

"Due to the turmoil in the great tomb, after the riot just now, the time of the subsequent Dragon Leap Festival riot will definitely be advanced."

"That is to say, this year's King Selection Battlefield will start early."

Ji Li frowned and immediately looked at the little father beside him.

The latter had no expression on his face at this moment, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

……

"Ji Li!"

Before leaving the school, Ji Li and King Yuanling ran into a beautiful figure head-on.

Ji Ruoxi rushed up to him with a slightly frightened look on her face and gave him a big hug:

"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..."

Ji Li raised his eyebrows, enjoying the hug from his cheap sister:

"You are well-informed."

"I informed you."

The short King Yuanling raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Li:
"If I go into the Dragon Prison to rescue you, it will definitely take a lot of time, so Yuanling Palace must be prepared."

Ji Li burst out laughing:

"As for it?"

"You bastard, you are my son, do you think it is necessary?"

Ji Li was slightly stunned.

"But it's good to be back...Have you two finished hugging?"

Ji Ruoxi then realized and pushed Ji Li away, but she failed and could only step away on her own.

In order to hide his embarrassment, he could only glare at Ji Li, who shrugged.

King Yuanling sighed:

"It seems that your relationship has been going well recently, but the Dragon Leap Festival has been advanced. If we can't curb it, I'm afraid we will miss this 'King's Choice Battlefield'."

This news made Ji Ruoxi's pupils shrink, although she was still shy.
"in advance?"

She looked at her father, King Yuanling:
"how long?"

Ji Li said:
"If nothing is done, the great tomb here will riot next week."

"Next week... that would be too late..."

The minimum entry requirement for the tomb is immortal. Both she and Ji Li are still some distance away from becoming immortal.

The Yuanling Palace has already missed three large tomb riots this year. If it misses this one again, it will never be able to catch up with the performance of others in the king selection.

Seeing that the arrogant elder sister had a big reaction, Ji Li added:

"It may not happen early, but if there is no way to contain the singularity, it will open early."

King Yuanling nodded silently: "Let's go home first and talk while we walk."

The ceremony of selecting the king has actually been going on quietly around momentum and performance, so there is no such thing as the "start" of the king's selection, because it has never stopped.

Therefore, the "battlefield of the king's election" actually refers to a riotous tomb in a fixed or irregular time period, which becomes the place where the king's candidates compete for "merits".

The Dragon Leap Festival is the time point closest to the present when the Great Tomb will have fixed riots.

Whether Ji Li and Ji Ruoxi can become one of the next Kings of Jiuling is directly related to whether King Yuanling can survive after the birth of this round of "Nine Sons" and the royal power in his hands returns to the dragon vein of Shenzhou and is redistributed.

However, since the riot in the tomb happened prematurely due to human factors, naturally everything can be put back on track due to human factors.

Moreover, an early riot in the Great Tomb is not a good thing. It is not only a battlefield for the king's selection, but also a disaster.

This means that all arrangements for this disaster in the entire Mirage City must be made in advance. It is not just the Yuanling Palace that is too late, so this premature riot must be curbed.

Destroy the singularity.

According to Li Jiangxing, these singularities are like whirlpools that hijack the aura of the tomb, so as long as all these singularities of Lingboyu are destroyed, the aura of the tomb can be released and it can return to a balanced state.

"So, what should we do?" Ji Ruoxi frowned.

Ji Li said: "Wait until tomorrow when the Mirage Research Institute gives the results. Aside from the three singularities of Lingboyu that are stable and have been detected, there are several others that are in motion and hidden." To be honest, when he was in Silla, apart from the Predator, he had never encountered any evil creatures that could carry Lingboyu around. Strictly speaking, the Predator is not even an evil creature.

The Lingbo Prison is the nest of evil, so the singularity Lingbo Prison must be evil.

A few lucky chosen ones caught this wave of wealth and became singularities.

As for the evils that can carry their nests around, except for some very special species, there is just one such creature in Shulong:

Shadow puppeteer.

After returning to Yuanling Palace, Ji Li sank into the soul space and saw that the progress bar of the third type [Wind Demon Engine] had reached 92%, basically fully activated.

It was worth it that he had tortured the students in various ways during this period of time and chipped away at the arrogance of these guys. With today's events also contributing a little, the Fengmo Engine is finally about to be filled up.

Next, continue to obtain the arrogance index, and you will be able to "load" the fourth type [Mad Radiance], also known as Mad Fire, into the dragon suit and move towards immortality.

In addition, there was an extra reward of an alien crystal, and a lot of information from the Red Heart Research Institute -

Ji Li has recorded a large amount of the research results and information he brought back in his mind through the ascension protocol.

Although it's a bit hasty, it gives us a rough idea of ​​what the Red Heart Project is doing:
"Digging" the Hell of Resentful Dragons.

Most of the files and materials that Ji Li saw were quite a few years old, but they were all about searching for something in the Hell of Resentful Dragons.

It seems that there is something hidden beneath Shulong's deep inner world. This research has been going on for a long time, and Li Jiangxing took over halfway through.

Considering what the tombstone said, Li Jiangxing's research caused strange turmoil in the other world, and they even gave themselves a code name for the project "Ouroboros".

This shows that after Li Jiangxing took over the research, the Red Heart Project has made some progress, and they should have really discovered something in the deep world.

However, what exactly it was was not mentioned in the files that Ji Li obtained. He could not understand most of the experimental results except for the stone slab of the spiritual circuit.

Obviously, these so-called important research materials and results are just the tip of the iceberg of the entire project.

Although this research project has not aroused Ji Li's interest so far, this little thing will definitely not work to fool tombstones and the Tower of Babel.

In addition to the central laboratory hall of the Red Heart Laboratory, Li Jiangxing has hidden many more things.

Ji Li threw himself into the heated swimming pool, floating in the water to wash away the fatigue from flying in the Hell of Resentful Dragons for half a day:
All in all, we have successfully approached Li Jiangxing today. We will go to the Mirage Research Institute again tomorrow, and it will not be difficult to obtain more information later.

And there is also a crystal from another world.

He took out the red crystal, looked at it in the light, and chose not to absorb it now—

Unlocking the dusty memories would place a certain burden on his soul, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow to confirm the follow-up developments and absorb them after he has settled down.

However, Shulong is a place with many talented people. The truant boy named Weldan seems to be a direct student of Li Jiangxing.

He was actually able to separate himself from the corrupted part through the secret technique of personality. Although the price was the complete atrophy of the Well of the Soul, it was still amazing considering Silla's level of soul psychology.

The next day, Ji Li returned to the Mirage Research Institute. This time, he naturally did not go to the "Red Heart" laboratory, which was a confidential location, but stayed in the central experimental hall.

Quite a few people came. In addition to senior personnel and some special students in the school, some important figures in the Forbidden City were also present, and there was even a Mausoleum King.

King Yuanling went out after yesterday, probably to make preparations for the follow-up, so only Ji Li and Ji Ruoxi were present today.

The two found a corner and sat down. Ji Ruoxi pointed to a middle-aged man in a dragon-patterned suit in front of him.

"That is King Jingling."

The man had a handsome face and a beard, a classic middle-aged man with an aura of authority that came from his presence.

A young man who looked similar to him was sitting next to him. He was Jing Xianghong, the student who had been beaten by Ji Li.

On the left of the handsome uncle sat a beautifully dressed girl in red, who looked very young. She was being hugged by King Jingling and was whispering something.

Judging from the exchange of glances, Jing Xianghong seemed a little afraid of her. It didn't seem like they were siblings, but rather had a very complicated family relationship.

So it was the young Mrs. Xiaofang who brought them along?

Ji Li pondered.

The two people sitting in the corner did not cause much commotion. Ji Ruoxi quietly introduced to Ji Li the important figures and people he knew who were present, especially those on King Jingling's side.

According to my cheap sister, Prince Jingling is not that powerful among the nine princes, let alone Prince Guling. His own strength is also relatively weak, not as good as the son and father of the siblings, but he is indeed the one with the most offspring.

Ji Li glanced at King Jingling's appearance and nodded in praise:

"The old guy is really handsome."

"I'm talking to you seriously..." Ji Ruoxi was speechless.

Because he has so many sons and daughters, King Jingling is currently waging wars everywhere.

Originally, the opponent's plan was to let the third son Jing Xianghong to restrain Ji Ruoxi, and the fourth son to restrain the dead Ji Ling.

Now that Ji Li has appeared, he will probably have to face the fourth son of Jingling Palace.

"So, the younger brother is better than the older brother... where is that guy?"

Ji Ruoxi raised her chin and pointed to the "girl" on the left of King Jingling.

Ji Li frowned:
"Isn't that his mistress?"

Ji Ruoxi looked at Ji Li in shock:

"Why do you think so?"

"I think Jing Xianghong is quite afraid of her. Besides, isn't it normal for old people to like young people?"

Ji Ruoxi's mouth twitched:
"...That is King Jingling's fourth son... Jing Xiangrong."

Then he added:
"He is... a little strange, but... he is indeed a man."

Ji Li's eyes flashed:

"femboy?"

That look immediately gave Ji Ruoxi goosebumps:
"…What's that look in your eyes? Don't disgust me…"

Ji Li's interest increased greatly——

This was the first time he had seen this kind of existence since he came to this world.

I thought the earth was very conservative, but it turns out that it is also very open?

At this moment, the surroundings turned dark, and Li Jiangxing appeared on the stage——

it has started.

"I'm sure everyone has heard about what happened yesterday. Some of the Soul Bureau's soldiers even experienced some of the chain events firsthand... Anyway, on behalf of the Mirage Research Institute, I apologize to everyone present..."

He bowed deeply, and when he raised his head again, his eyes began to scan the area below:
"Before I officially report on this disaster related to the singularity, I would like to first thank a new colleague..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Ruoxi beside Ji Li suddenly felt something was wrong——

Bang!
A headlight directly illuminated Ji Li in the corner, making him shine brightly:
"Your Highness Ji Li."

In an instant, countless eyes were focused on Ji Li, including King Jingling's family.

The "girl" Jing Xiangrong noticed Ji Li, was slightly stunned, and then showed a meaningful smile.

Ji Li met the pseudo-girl's gaze and smiled evilly, contrary to his usual behavior.

That extremely penetrating gaze made Jing Xiangrong feel as if he was pierced for a moment, and he froze on the spot.
