Soul Trigger

Chapter 472 Color
"Don't move, Odin."

A familiar electric sound came from his ears, and in front of Ji Li was an open and dark room.

The room was highly technological, with electronic indicator lights flashing in the cracks of the walls and a large number of pipes exposed to the air, crisscrossing the entire field of vision.

He was currently sitting on a chair that was large and had a sophisticated disc-shaped base.

Strictly speaking, this is not a chair, but a sitting prosthetic inspection table.

He was in the midst of reminiscence.

The UI interface on the "Odin" head-up display has some changes in details, but compared with before, there is not much difference overall.

A mechanical figure with red light emitting from the cracks all over its body appeared on the right side of his field of vision. It was the founder of the World Tree in the form of a "firefly".

He could see the firefly nanomachines on the other's body moving slightly, and the entire structure was made up of these machines.

"Not well yet?" Odin asked.

"No, the underlying logic of the Ascension Protocol was written by me, and the people at Murphy Megastructure changed a lot of things based on it. It will take a lot of time to get back to the track I set before."

Below, meaning that this place is still above the sky after ascension, that is, the world shrouded by the existence called the "Supreme Matrix".

"So what were you busy doing all this time?" Odin asked.

“Add a high-precision recognition system.”

As the founder spoke, the heads-up display projected directly onto Ji Li's retina began to ripple like raging waves, and the whole world seemed to be replaced by green codes through some kind of filter in an instant.

The filter flashed for a moment, as if briefly showing Odin the effect of its use.

"Okay, this binary vision can't be triggered programmatically, for reasons you know. So I gave you a physical button, right in the palm of your hand."

Odin pressed his palm and a high-precision trigger was pressed. In Ji Li's eyes, his vision was disturbed and turned into the so-called "binary vision" by the other party.

At this moment, wherever he looked, there were green flowing codes everywhere.

Those numbers, made up of 0s and 1s, densely packed together, outline the volume of everything around them.

Odin turned his head and looked at the founder beside him:

"Why are you yellow?"

The body of the "firefly" is orange-yellow in color.

"You are also yellow. This recognition system operates according to the 'rules' I set."

Odin looked at his body, which was also composed of orange and yellow codes:
"Are you sure this will work for the 'power code'?"

"At least it can keep us from being lost. The Supreme Matrix has not given up on tracking and infiltrating us..."

"That's quite unusual."

Odin was observing the world in front of him as if he had opened the door to a new world, but at this moment, Ji Li saw something else appear in his vision.

Odin also asked the founder at the right time:

"What does the red code mean?"

Upon hearing this, Firefly paused slightly:
"Are you asking me about the possibility of other colors, or are you saying you saw a code for red?"

"Of course it's the latter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Firefly pulled off the tube behind Ji Li:
"That's the 'Power Code' that's chasing us..."

The next moment, a large hole suddenly appeared in the building in front of him. From the steel wall filled with electric sparks, a figure made up of red codes emerged, along with a voice that sounded familiar to Ji Li:
"…Target found, Supreme Matrix cleansing protocol activated…"

It was the strange construct that had attacked Odin in a previous memory.

So this is the "power code", or in other words, the product that is manifested under the power of the power code?

As Ji Li thought, a high-energy beam burst out, Odin jumped up, and the hot light engulfed the vision in front of him.

……

Ji Li suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the faded light red alien crystal in his hand.

This was the second memory recall he had completed tonight. The first time was with the small crystal given to him by Tombstone, but he obtained almost no useful information.

However, the spiritual essence transformed from the internal memory was directly converted into a small cognitive index.

Alien Crystals are like a lottery draw; you can't always get memories with enough information.

Moreover, perhaps because the piece given by the tombstone was too small, it could not even be transformed into personality fragments, and directly recharged his cognitive index.

The second time, they used materials that were scraped off from Li Jiangxing's hill and "repaired" by Da Lei through time travel.

This memory further revealed some information, such as his situation after ascending. It seemed that he had stayed with the founder of the World Tree for a short period of time, suspected to be trying to get rid of the pursuit of the "Power Code".

He still doesn't know what the "power code" represents, but it seems that it can be materialized into specific power, or a physical "soldiers".

A hound?
Based on the memories obtained previously, it can be roughly concluded that something seemed to have gone wrong in the sky, such as the "slavery" mentioned by the founder, which forced him to tamper with the ascension.

But somehow he managed to reach the top of the sky, and the founder must have had some influence on this.

After he successfully met with the founder, he was hunted down by the Power Code.

"So behind the power code is the so-called 'Supreme Matrix'. This thing has had some major impacts on the sky, so the founder Gray Fox made some changes to the ascension..."

Various information was tangled in Ji Li's mind, gradually converging into a mess:
"There is still too little information. The analysis of these terms is basically meaningless. We can only analyze what happened at that time. There is no further information that may connect the two worlds."

After reading so many memories, the conclusion that he came to this world because of the failure of mechanical ascension has long been overturned, so how did he get here?
Looking back this time, Ji Li was not as anxious as before.

As he looked at the memories again and again, he realized that this was a very long process and there was no point in being anxious: only by getting more crystals from other worlds could he get closer to the answer.

Ji Li spread out his palms, and the memories turned into spiritual essence, which turned into a small circuit board in his hands:
[Personality Fragments: Visual Improvement Module (Prototype)]

[Soul Quality: Damaged]

【Features: Binary observation. 】

【Cannot be materialized.】

"Binary observations..."

Thinking about the experience he just remembered, Ji Li roughly knew what this thing was used for.

After integrating it into his current personality entity, Ji Li opened his eyes and activated his ability.

The world was filled with familiar waves, and everything around him turned into data and presented itself in front of Ji Li.

What kind of scene is that?
Only when he actively used this ability in reality did Ji Li intuitively feel the difference.

All the sounds faded away from my ears, and all the matter turned into data of 0 and 1, arranged and intertwined in front of my eyes.

All sounds and movements, the flow of spiritual essence, vision, hearing, touch, taste... all five senses are presented in the form of data and can be observed from this perspective.

But it was different from the previous memories in the sky.

The data in that world is green, while the data on this earth is light gray.

Even Ji Li's own color was light gray, which made him feel a little strange, because colors often have many symbols, especially on this earth.

From the perspective of soul psychology, red often represents evil and the other world, and is a symbol of high risk.

When Ji Li uses Odin himself, the color of his psychic power is often pale blue, which is also his current eye color, representing himself, that is, Ji Li as "Odin".

The color that appears when he uses his abilities is related to the source of his abilities.

For example, the Resentful Dragon Suit and Red Lightning are both red, while the Black Wind is more complex, being a mixture of Lawrence and various other personality entities.

But this kind of "binary observation" of a gray world obviously does not fall within the rules of this distinction.

According to the founder of the World Tree, he designed this thing, so the operating rules should also be set by him.

Looking at the gray world, Ji Li stopped his ability and restored his normal vision. He picked up his phone which had vibrated several times.

There were several messages from tombstones urging him to meet up. This guy wanted to know the progress of the mission.

Ji Li decided to go meet that guy first. Practice will give the answer to the binary observation issue.

……

This time the meeting place was not the bar as in the last time, but a building on a high ground.

In a mountainous city like Mirage City, the height difference is often huge.

Here you can see a flat area below, where there are densely packed buildings, and in the center there is a pentagonal building with the largest area:

Tianchao venue.

"It is specially designed for high-standard large-scale performances and super-large commercial activities...it is really well built."

A short figure stood there, commenting on the building below.

"tombstone?"

It turned around, allowing Ji Li to see the two ponytails hanging from the hood, and then took off the Gargamel-style hat, revealing a gray little loli face:

"it's me."

Ji Li looked at the little kid in front of him and tilted his head and said:

"Is it popular to act young these days?"

The tombstone suddenly smiled:

"The body has decayed. And as for pretending to be young...it's not certain who can pretend to be young."

"But I don't have to eat the lollipop."

"Shut up, it's just the consciousness of the previous owner of the corpse that's causing trouble."

Tombstone took the lollipop out of his mouth:
"Tell me, how's it going?"

Ji Li did not hide much of what he knew about Li Jiangxing's experiment.

He basically talked about how he had been accepted by the other party and entered the Circle Project, as well as the documents and files he had recorded and some of the experimental results.

"Finally, he wanted me to go to the Hell of Resentful Dragons again and place this in there."

Finally, he handed the cylindrical psychic prop given to him by Li Jiangxing to the tombstone.

He did not cover up this matter because it was related to Ji Li's subsequent actions and Tombstone might know something.

Tombstone took the thing and looked at it for a while:
"really……"

"Sure enough?"

"He's looking for 'Ouroboros'."
