Soul Trigger

Chapter 473 Password
"The Ouroboros project you mentioned?"

Tombstone nodded:

"There is a power buried in the other world, and Li Jiangxing is digging it out."

Ji Li frowned:

"It doesn't sound like anything good."

People who dig into the other world often don't have a good ending. Ji Li knew that Li Jiangxing's research must be very dangerous, but he didn't expect it to be something like communicating with the evil lord.

"It's hard to say..." Tombstone smiled:
"'Ouroboros' is a code name and also a symbol. This existence means infinity, limitlessness, and endlessness. And as far as I know, this thing does not belong to the other world, nor is it an evil lord."

Ji Li: "You mean, this thing is clean energy?"

"It's a legend that no one believes exists, not even us."

Tombstone said, turning the topic back to the device in his hand:
"The source of this so-called singularity is in that laboratory, and it was triggered by his out-of-control students.

Therefore, this force, that laboratory, Li Jiangxing and you, and these so-called singularities have now established a soul psychology connection.

This device is a navigation system, or a 'compass'.

You have a soul-psychological connection with this event, and the singularity anomaly is connected to the target of the experiment, which is that force.

So if the evil singularity really opened an entrance to the Hell of Dragons, when you followed him in, the place you arrived at must be related to the Ouroboros.

This device is used to strengthen this connection and find the direction where the Ouroboros exists."

Tombstone's explanation was a bit confusing, but Ji Li understood it:
"How dangerous is it?"

"almost none."

Tombstone swallowed the spiritual tool directly into his mouth:

“The soul psychology connection is not a strong association, it is just a connection, and it will gradually disappear over time and will basically have no effect on you. You should understand this basic knowledge.

It's just that you can enter the Hell of Resentful Dragons, which is why Li Jiangxing asked you for help."

With a movement in its abdomen, it took out the thing again. There were some runes on it, which quickly went out within a few breaths:
"I added a little something to it so I could see how it works. Here."

Ji Li looked at the gray-black unknown mucus with a blank expression:
"Wipe it clean."

Tombstone was stunned when he heard this, and sighed softly:
"You're quite picky..."

After wiping it clean with the clothes on his body, he handed it to Ji Li:

"As expected of my chosen companion, you have made good progress and your intelligence is useful, but it is not enough to convince Babel."

"We need more information, such as how far Li Jiangxing has progressed in his excavation of the Ouroboros, his subsequent research plans, and possible research samples and research results."

"Although the Dragon Leap Festival has been brought forward, the final deadline will not change... No matter how much you get, Li Jiangxing must be dead by the time the Dragon Leap Festival officially ends."

It looked at Ji Li and suddenly showed a meaningful smile:

"You don't seem to want to do anything. Have you developed feelings for Li Jiangxing?"

"If I kill him like this, I will be in big trouble. It would be better if the Tower of Babel is ready to pick me up." Ji Li said calmly.

After this period of time together, Li Jiangxing has become a completely qualified scholar.

Know about public welfare, love students, and be responsible.

Ji Li was not sure about his specific research capabilities, but at least on the surface, he was definitely a good person and had a high status in Shulong.

Facing Ji Li's reaction, Tombstone smiled and said:

"Of course. How could I give up a companion like you?"

Ji Li put away the device casually:

"Then don't you think you should do something more than just give me orders?"

Tombstone: "Another alien crystal?"

Ji Li's eyes flickered:

"Time fragments."

That is a fragment of Filin's power.

Tombstone was silent for a few breaths, then smiled again:
"Yes... but not now. We have to wait until Li Jiangxing dies."

"After the Dragon Leap Festival, if everything goes well with the mission and your King Selection, I will personally take you to the Babel headquarters."

"When the time comes, whether it's the time domain fragments or the alien crystals you want, the Tower of Babel will provide you with the full amount based on the results of this operation."

Ji Li narrowed his eyes:
"It sounds like a delicious pie. Oh my god, it's really exciting. I really want to go to the Tower of Babel headquarters."

Tombstone suddenly turned his head and stared at him. The lollipop in his mouth suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"I can't help it... I have nothing on me right now, and I really want to join hands with you..."

It looked towards the Tianchao Hall below, and then changed the subject:
"However, considering that the Dragon Leap Festival is indeed a bit troublesome when it is brought forward, you may need a little help with the next matter regarding the singularity..."

Half an hour later.

"That's basically it, I wish you all the best tomorrow."

"Don't use such a strange body next time we meet."

"You don't like little girls?"

"What kind of brat do you think would go out to a place like this at three in the morning?"

Tombstone's hand suddenly froze:
"Makes sense."

Looking at the tombstone waving goodbye to him, Ji Li was about to leave, when he suddenly had an impulse and started binary observation on that guy.

Looking at the orange-yellow ball waving at him in the gray and white, Ji Li fell silent.

The color of its data is exactly the same as that of himself and the founder of the World Tree in his memory.

……

Ji Li was unable to find out what the data color represented, but he knew that there must be something hidden on this tombstone guy.

If there could be another observable sample, some information could be inferred. However, from last night until now, Ji Li has not found any data with different colors except for the tombstone. Even the data of Ji Li's son, King Yuanling, is gray.

He suddenly looked forward to the trip to the Babel headquarters. If he could meet the other members of Babel, he might get some answers, or even solve some mysteries in his memory. "We're here."

King Yuanling's voice came from beside him. Ji Li looked out the car window and saw the Tianchao Club.

Compared with the dead silence of last night, the Tianchao Club was now bustling with people, and people of all kinds could be seen everywhere rushing towards the club.

The large screen advertisements on all sides can show the contents related to Tianchao Club:
Fashion shows, celebrity performances and luxury brand advertisements, etc.

A large fashion show is being held here today, which is also the location where the evil singularity is hidden.

"There are so many people." Ji Li frowned slightly.

"We can't help it. This dense cluster of human spirits is exactly what attracts the target. King Jingling and I will be on standby outside the venue to provide support. If we cannot control the situation in the end, we will take action."

The son's father raised his little hand and patted his shoulder:

"It doesn't matter if you don't get much in the end. Just treat it as an attempt and do it with confidence."

"That's not my style. And if I don't get the throne, won't you just die?"

As Ji Li was about to open the car door, his arm was grabbed by King Yuanling, and the soundproof window between the front and the driver was instantly closed and locked:
"How did you know about this?"

Ji Li turned his head and saw the solemn face of King Yuanling. He was immediately puzzled:
"You mean, if you lose your royal power, you will die on the spot?"

King Yuanling rarely paid attention to Ji Li's expression of fatherly love and filial piety, and tightened his grip even more:
"Yes, I probably never told you. How did you know?"

This season is even weirder:

"Ji Ruoxi told me."

King Yuanling was silent for a few breaths, then loosened his claws:
"Go ahead."

This scene was truly inexplicable, but with Ji Li's brain it was not difficult to guess something, and his gaze became somewhat meaningful.

As the car door closed, Prince Yuanling picked up his cell phone and made a call.

His reaction was simple—

Because he had never told anyone about his lifespan, neither Ji Li nor Ji Ruoxi should have known about it.

After a not-too-long busy tone, the call was quickly connected:
"Two moons hang in the sky, and a few sands sink to the reef?"

A young voice came from the other side:

"The whales sleep at midnight, the moon rises on the 9th and the 23rd."

A hint of spiritual essence lingered in the voices of the two, and the language seemed to be some kind of special ritual.

King Yuanling continued:
"How many times do the waves hit the lonely rock?"

"Xuanwu spits out pearls with seven shallow and eight deep depths."

The other party responded to the secret signal very skillfully, and the lingering spiritual essence disappeared. King Yuanling said:
"Report the situation."

"Everything is fine, sir."

King Yuanling's eyes suddenly turned into orange vertical pupils:

"The situation has changed. Change the password."

"Speaking?"

"A: The fifth day of the lunar calendar. B: The Azure Dragon hides in the east, and the cable breaks at Wusha."

"Understood, Your Excellency."

King Yuanling suddenly said:

"The fifth day of the lunar calendar."

The other side fell into a long silence, with an orange light flashing in King Yuanling's eyes. After a while, a voice came from the other side:

"Wrong password."

A burst of violent spiritual energy suddenly shook the entire car body:

"How many times do the waves hit the lonely rock?"

The other party replied almost without a pause:
"Xuanwu spits out the pearl seven shallow and eight deep, the command is correct."

King Yuanling's voice was cold:
"Report the situation."

The voice was silent for a while, and suddenly became shrill:

"Sir, everything is fine."

In an unknown corner, a pale face was pressed against a mobile phone, mechanically responding to the voice on the other end:
"Sir, everything is fine."

Looking down, its body was actually a straw man, and its face was covered with skin, forming a pale and weird smile:
"Sir, everything is fine."

The call was suddenly disconnected.

After hanging up the phone, Prince Yuanling answered another call with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness Prince Yuanling, what do you want me to do?"

"The nail I put in 'Night Bank' has been pulled out."

The voice on the other side suddenly changed:
"Understood. I'll be there right away..."

Prince Yuanling put down his phone and looked at the crowd outside the car window. He felt a chill and his soul was triggered. He suspected something big was going to happen, so he casually ordered:

"Go to the north stadium entrance."

"Understood, Your Excellency."

A shrill voice came from the driver's seat. King Yuanling frowned and saw that blood, which came from nowhere, had already flooded over his knees in the car.

His pupils shrank slightly, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly opened:

"How dare a defeated general like you plot against my Yuanling Palace..."

The inky spiritual essence rose into the sky.

PS: I will stop here for today, but I wonder if the pace might be a little slow...
