Soul Trigger

Chapter 47 Liuli
As spiritual essence continues to drain away, if negative emotions are triggered, turning into evil is almost inevitable.

Kang In-sung is an example.

"So bro, how did you get in here?"

"I'm investigating the situation here."

"Investigation... Are you from the Special Management Bureau?!" Yu Qing's hoarse voice suddenly rose.

"Flash Street."

"...How long have you been a member of Flash Street?" I don't know if it was an illusion, but his voice seemed much more respectful.

"Just joined a week ago."

"..."

There was a sudden silence from the other end, as if someone was dead.

Ji Li shook his head——

It's understandable that you should treat people differently based on their status.

After gaining a general understanding of the current situation, he sat down quietly.

The duration of his transformation into an evil spirit is not infinite, and it will continue to consume his spiritual essence. In addition, the current Soul Prison is draining his spiritual essence, so he must find a way to break the shackles and escape.

Ji Li directly entered the overclocking state. The moment the black gas rose, he pulled the shackles on his arms to the extreme. He gave up after ten full seconds.

"Don't waste your energy... Just stay still and you'll die later... Unless you want to be freed earlier than me?"

The unusual sound of the chain brought back Yu Qing's voice:
"...A newcomer from Flash Street dares to investigate the Lingbo Prison Cluster...Brother, you are really brave."

"Honestly, let's make a deal. Can you let me die first? Do you know how it feels to be trapped here for three months without anyone to talk to?"

"At least let me have someone to talk to before I die!"

Ji Li ignored him and activated the Biting Frost Mark in overclocked state. Ice blades grew out from the back of his hand, quickly condensed into a sawtooth shape and began to cut the chain.

For some reason, he had an illusion just now, as if using the Biting Frost Mark here, the flow of spiritual essence was abnormally smooth.

"...You also brought tools? Is this your spirit core ability?"

Yu Qing continued to chatter:

"...Listen to me, brother. Really, there's no need to rush to reincarnate early..."

Boom!
There was a strange sound of breaking, but Yu Qing sighed and said, "It's useless..."

"The chains here may seem to be made of ice, but they actually connect the spiritual energy of the entire Lingbo Prison."

"Even if you can fight the master of the Lingbo Prison for three hundred rounds, you can't fight against the energy that constitutes the entire Lingbo Prison lair alone."

"You are right..."

Ji Li held the iron chain that was broken into two parts in his hand. They were running in both directions like lovers who could not be stopped by anyone, and condensed together out of thin air.

but……

A large amount of calculations of the Ascension Protocol appeared before his eyes:
The speed of spiritual essence flow increased by 3.56%. When the iron chain was cut, the lines of the bone-piercing frost marks on the body emitted abnormal fluctuations.

Ji Li asked the Ascension Protocol to replicate the data, recalculate, and after cutting it several times for data extraction and comparison, he obtained an unfamiliar frequency data.

At this moment, his Well of Souls only had half of its capacity left.

He grabbed the ice chain with both hands and activated the spiritual essence. The bone-piercing frost marks on his shoulders gradually emitted light, gradually reaching the extreme -

The extremely hard ice chain melted in his hands.

He raised his hand and watched the water transformed from the spiritual essence flow down the tip of his claws.

The ability of Frost Scar to bite bones comes from the personality fragment dropped by Jinzai.

Jinzai was corrupted by the method of creating a ghost, so Jinzai's power comes from the power of the master of this hell.

The spiritual ice created by the Biting Frost Mark itself needs to be shaped in order to be activated. Through the data calculations of the Ascension Protocol, Ji Li constantly tries to make the shaped ice as close as possible to the ice chains on his body.

Finally, they were successfully connected briefly and then melted under control.

The idea is feasible, Ji Li confirmed in his mind.

Just as Ji Li was about to do the same with the next ice chain, the icy water transformed from the spiritual essence did not dissipate, but slithered like a snake, passing through his body at an extremely fast speed and quickly drilled into the lines of the bone-piercing frost marks.

The pattern suddenly brightened, and a burst of icy blue lit up in the dark eye sockets of his evil spirit, like two balls of cold soul fire.

Ji Li only felt an extremely cold feeling stored in the pattern, and the feeling gradually faded away after a while.

what happened! ?
He instantly activated the Bone-piercing Frost Mark, and a one-meter-long fist sword instantly grew out. Its size was far greater than any shape that Ji Li had condensed before.

These spiritual essences... have been assimilated by me?

He was somewhat doubtful and quickly touched the soul trigger to sense it:
These cold spiritual essences were only temporarily assimilated by him and could not be taken back into the Well of Souls, but they could be stored in the Frost Scar.

And after flowing through the frost mark, the deep blue color will also transform into the color of transparent ice and become usable for shaping.

He thought about it, and let the extra cold spirit gather on his shoulder of bone armor, forming a thin layer of ice armor:

This may not be permanent, but at least it can be a help here.

Then, Ji Li performed the same operation on the ice chains on his body. The entire set of ice melted and formed a thin layer covering his bone armor.

Under the dim light, the surface of the evil spirit's body now seemed to be covered with a layer of thin glass armor, making it somewhat translucent.

Just then, faint footsteps were suddenly heard outside.

Yu Qing next door seemed to sit up instantly, and his voice was a little panicked:

"There's something... Is it the jailer!?"

"jailer?"

"It's an evil creature... a lackey of the master here!"

As the footsteps approached, Yu Qing's voice became more panicked:

"Why did the ghost suddenly come out?!"

"What are they going to do?"

"They will drain the spiritual essence from the prisoners!" The footsteps had already reached the door, and at the same time, there could be heard whispers and mumblings. Yu Qing's voice was completely panicked at this moment:
"What the hell did you do!? These things don't normally come out! Unless someone wants to escape from prison..."

At this point, his voice suddenly got stuck, and his tone was somewhat unbelievable:
"…You broke the chain?!"

"Yes."

Ji Li squeezed his bone claws and watched the iron door in front of him make a harsh sound. An unexpected face appeared in front of Ji Li——

"Jiang In-seong" opened the door with a dull look, looking at Ji Li inside, still muttering those words "Sunflower", but the difference from before was that he had a heavy ice lock on his neck.

"If you are collected as a ghost, you will be here to manage the 'prisoners'... You will also be included in the system."

Jiang Yincheng's eyes twisted, his face became extremely hideous, and his entire body exploded. When it reassembled, it had turned into its previous completely corrupted appearance, and bit Ji Li -

Bang! !

It flew backwards like a cannonball and hit the empty door opposite, exploding into a meat paste.

"The jailer has been killed. Call me daddy and I'll let you out."

Ji Li twisted his wrist, but Yu Qing still didn't react:
"what?"

"I'm leaving."

As Ji Li's footsteps were heard, the cell door next door suddenly banged loudly:
"father!!!!!"

With a loud noise as the cell door was violently ripped open, the haggard-looking curly-haired young man looked at the faint light pouring in and couldn't help shedding tears:

"Three hundred years... Three hundred years..."

Ji Li threw the iron door to the ground with a clang, and Yu Qing stumbled out:
"I can finally go out... I can finally go out! Finally..."

He was wearing a ragged black outfit, which vaguely resembled outdoor clothing. But after running two steps outside, his voice suddenly fell silent.

A sheep's head skeleton with a surface as clear as glass was standing with its arms folded across its chest, staring at him coldly.

"you you?!"

Yu Qing was so frightened that his legs went limp and he was about to fall to the ground, but suddenly he realized something:
"...Evil spirit?! You are not..."

His thoughts raced through his mind for a moment, and his gaze towards Ji Li gradually became strange:

"You are a Splitter?!"

Ji Li had no time to pay attention to him for the time being, because he sensed that a cold spirit suddenly reacted to him:

The dense tomato sauce in the cell door opposite quickly faded and turned into a deep blue stream that shuttled through the air and gathered on him.

The jailer's ectoplasm?
...That's right, the Lingbi Prison was built by the master of this place, and it has the same spiritual essence as the minions.

Ji Li filtered the icy spiritual essence with Frost Mark and smiled as he put it on his shoulders. Shenhan's shoulder armor became slightly thicker.

"...Are you absorbing evil spiritual essence?!"

He looked at Ji Li as if he were a madman:

"Aren't you afraid of being corrupted?!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Ji Li walked forward and grabbed the shackles on his body, turning them all into spiritual essence and absorbing them into the biting frost marks, filtering them into a clear color, which covered his body surface and continued to strengthen the ice armor.

Seeing his behavior, Yu Qing's eyes became more and more strange, and faintly turned into fear——

This is a madman...

"Can you find the exit?" Ji Li asked.

Yu Qing's expression was still changing. Finally, he sighed as if he had convinced himself, and moved his lips and said:
"……able."

Then he immediately changed his words: "No, I can't..."

"My soul well has completely dried up. It's hard for me to walk now. I can't use my abilities at all..."

"Then it seems that the only way is to kill the owner of this place and let the Lingbao naturally float up..."

Ji Li thought of the big hand, squeezed his claws hard, and looked at the surrounding environment.

This was a standard prison corridor, with cracks and frost all over the ground, and ice mist floating everywhere. The corridor was lined with cells on both sides, stretching all the way up, and there were actually seven or eight floors.

There are no corridors on each floor, and the cell doors seem to be embedded directly in the walls. Inhuman whimpering sounds can be heard from some of the cells.

"…It's evil. The 'refrigerator' has probably existed longer than I thought. Some of the unlucky people who were pulled in have been corrupted into evil before their spirit essence was even drained away…"

At this time, dense footsteps came from not far ahead.

Seven or eight ragged men and women with stiff faces, also wearing heavy ice chains around their necks, exploded the moment they saw the two of them, and turned into all kinds of weird evil spirits.

"It's over, the Lord of the Lair has discovered our escape... All the jailers are coming!!"

"Then kill them all."

Ji Li rushed in like an arrow, and with one punch he killed a disheveled, screaming evil spirit. With a casual move, he recovered its icy spiritual essence back into his body, and his icy glazed armor became a bit thicker.

Yu Qing, who was retreating frantically, only saw that the sheep-headed skeleton could blow up an evil soul with one punch, and then kidnap its spirit to himself, and wipe out all the jailers in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the other person's current appearance, his eyes became more and more frightened——

The clear ice that continued to pile up on Ji Li's body had become noticeably thicker, and had even increased his height by a few centimeters.

The shoulders that originally had only some bone spurs now had a few small ice spikes, and crystal clear ice blades extended from the back of the wrists, and a pair of small ice horns appeared on the top of the head.

At this moment, his appearance seemed to be gradually moving away from the faceless bone and becoming more like a demon sculptured from ice.

"Are there shackles inside these cell doors, too?"

The sound of Ji Li's increasingly strong vibration in the faceless bone state brought Yu Qing back to his senses. He said blankly:
"You're thinking……"

Ji Li was too lazy to say more, and directly tore off a cell door, and saw the shackles scattered on the ground inside:

"Of course, I will make the ice on my body thicker..."

For some reason, Yu Qing felt that the color of the ice on the other person's body was gradually getting darker...
