Soul Trigger

Chapter 490 Behind the scenes
"How do you feel now?"

"Thank you for your concern. I feel energetic."

Ji Li winked at Ji Ruoxi, who smiled:
"Don't worry, it's just normal soul nourishment, although I was really scared when you fainted just now."

There are two soul psychology sensory catalysts in Ji Li's body: soul trigger and flesh trigger.

Although King Yuanling said that as long as the Shenzhou Dragon Vein had accepted him, there was no need to worry about his legitimacy as a human spirit.

But since this is a forbidden city, if the matter of the two soul catalysts was casually exposed just because of the treatment, it would attract some unnecessary attention.

It's possible that Li Jiangxing will come over and try to slice Ji Li.

Ji Ruoxi knew that he was hiding some secrets, so she blocked the intensive treatment. Now, it seems that Ji Li has recovered well, and the care in the Forbidden City has only accelerated the process.

"What's going on now?"

"Don't worry!" The Ninth Prince laughed loudly, with his hands on his waist without any grace. He looked like a little golden man in his golden suit.
"The singularity has been successfully destroyed, and everyone is safe. You don't know how scared I, the 'supervisor', was at that time..."

At this moment, a muffled male voice suddenly came from behind:

"Your Highness, you started to panic only when you saw that things were almost out of control. To use your own words, you almost flipped over..."

The person who followed in was Ah Fu, which made the Ninth Prince look stunned, and he immediately drove Ah Fu away:
"Don't I trust Ji Li and believe that he can solve the problem? Why are you interfering in what the royal family is saying? Go away, get out..."

This guy... although he has a royal title, he can get along well with his "servants". But is this just an act, or a natural expression of his true feelings?

Ji Li habitually evaluated the Ninth Prince in front of him.

If we were to make an analogy with him, the situation of Cha Chan-ho and his gang of chaebols would probably be the most appropriate.

Compared with him, apart from his flashy clothes, Xiaoche might be more like a "prince" in terms of his words and actions.

But the one called Ah Fu... must be Ming Zhao.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes:

"I knew you'd show up in that kind of place. The reason isn't as simple as you said."

It was certainly not a good thing that the Ninth Prince ran over to the battlefield of Wang Xuan, but time was tight at the time, so Ji Li saw the truth but didn't say anything.

The Ninth Prince quickly pulled Ji Li back and whispered:

"...Don't spread rumors about this. Normally, regulators can't intervene. Although the situation was special and there was no better way, it was still a bit sensitive.

Besides, the Wahuang Show is just for fun, next time I’ll invite you to something more exciting…”

Ji Li touched his chin:
"It sounds very tempting. How would you rate it?"

The Ninth Prince said with ease: "The minimum score is 9 points."

"Oh? How does that compare to her?"

Following Ji Li's palm, the Ninth Prince barely maintained courtesy towards Ji Ruoxi, but an unfriendly look had already appeared in his eyes. He immediately raised his hand:
"Sorry... I'm used to it, I'm used to it..."

The latter could only sigh:
"Ninth Prince, please respect yourself."

Then he gave Ji Li a sharp look:
Did you really chat?

Ji Li shrugged: I'm just taking advantage of the situation and chatting casually.

There are referees and safety officers in serious competitions, and Wang Xuan certainly has them too.

The "King's Selected Supervisor" is someone who has both of these responsibilities. Ah Fu and the imperial guards who follow the Ninth Prince are his insurance.

"What about the people behind You Zichou? Have you found out the situation?" Ji Li turned the matter to the main topic.

"The singularity caused by the Red Heart Laboratory was intercepted by him. This is very suspicious."

The Ninth Prince restrained his expression:
"Already checking."

According to his description, the secret technique used by You Ziqiu was called "Dual Personality Cutting Technique", which originated from Li Jiangxing's research a few years ago. Ji Li once again witnessed the influence of Dean Li.

Its purpose is to dissect the personalities of people who have been corrupted by the aura of the other world or evil, separating the spiritual part of the person and the evil part, and achieving the purpose of healing in that order.

In the end, this project cannot be considered a success, but it has achieved some results.

The dual personality cutting technique cannot be performed after the corruption is complete, but it can be performed before the corruption begins.

The human spirit has both positive and negative sides, and what needs to be cut off is the most negative part of oneself.

After being cut out, because of its pure negative emotions, it is basically equivalent to evil.

But because it is an artificial means, the negative self cut out in this way has no entity, so the Well of Souls becomes its entity.

Since the two selves are actually one and the same, they have a high degree of soul-psychological connection, so when faced with the danger of corruption, they can use the negative part of themselves as a substitute and corrupt on their behalf.

At the same time, the negative self can also exist as a helper to the self if communication is done properly, but there are extremely high risks.

The price of doing so is that once the negative self dies, the Well of the Soul will also disappear and dry up, just like Verdant.

In a place like the Mirage Laboratory, the senior researchers and some people carrying out special research projects will more or less perform a dual personality split as a form of insurance for themselves and their projects.

This is why Verdan survived the previous incident.

As for why You Ziqiu possesses such technology, one reason is that although the experiment failed, this technology was transferred to the level of soul psychology treatment, that is, various spiritual hospitals in Shulong.

Although not everyone can learn or perform this operation, it does exist among the people. It is not difficult for people like You Zichou to learn it.

The other is the organization he founded, "Night Shore".

This organization was originally under the supervision of King Yuanling. When Ji Li was killed when he returned to Shulong, the first organization King Yuanling found was the Ye'an Organization.

But at that time, Ye'an's insider did not show any abnormality, which led to the information being obscured.

By the way, King Jingling and King Yuanling, who were also supposed to plunder the Tianchao venue, were also attacked by unknown forces.

Although it was not fatal to them at all, it successfully delayed time and allowed You Ziqiu to complete his goal.

The Ninth Prince said, "Currently, most of the people in the Night Shore organization have been wiped out, and the number of members is not large. But since it involves the King's Selection Battlefield, the Forbidden City has already taken action, and no one will be able to escape."

"Being involved in the king's selection is considered treason, but he even colluded with the shadow puppeteers." Ji Ruoxi rubbed his temple, his voice a little dull.

"In short, everything is under the control of the Forbidden City. You don't have to worry about this. I have already informed His Royal Highness Prince Yuanling. During this period of time, you just need to rest assured."

"As the supervisor, I am also responsible for the changes in the king's election. I must take responsibility for this."

Ji Li looked at the Ninth Prince and said:

"You said you waited for me for three days. You didn't just want to help me review what happened, did you?"

The Ninth Prince immediately chuckled: "Of course there is more than that. There will be a party in two days, I will treat you, and there will also be some from the Queen Nuwa show..."

Then, sensing a cold gaze from the side, he changed the subject:
"I mean, I'll treat you to a serious banquet in a couple of days."

Seeing Ji Ruoxi standing here like a sentry guard, the Ninth Prince felt a little annoyed. He couldn't talk to Ji Li about the things that men like to talk about, so he had to give up.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Li:
"What's the situation with the Blood Pact Hermits?"

The Ninth Prince suddenly paused, turned around and cast a resentful look at Ji Li:

"Miss Qin said she left you a message on her social media account and asked me to pass it on." Feeling the temperature of the curse mark on his arm, Ji Li understood:
It seemed as if this guy's pride in picking up girls was suddenly hurt.

……

Ji Li looked at the phone that Ji Ruoxi handed to him. From the message, there seemed to be nothing unusual about Qin's condition. She just asked Ji Li to see her as soon as possible after waking up.

Although it is unknown who won the battle between her and the Lord of Darkness, or whether it was because of the dimensional fluctuation caused by the appearance of the Dragon Prison entrance, it ended in vain, but this guy is probably suffering from a serious "aftereffect" now...

Ji Li's fingers flashed as he sent her a message in reply.

"So, why did that woman help you like this?"

Facing Ji Ruoxi's burning gaze, Ji Li spoke bluntly, shocking her:
“My good fuck buddy in Silla.”

"...?"

"You heard me right, the kind that often dances together while sleeping..."

"and many more!!"

A bright red quickly spread across Ji Ruoxi's face, and she suddenly raised her hand:

"What weird stuff are you talking about!!!"

"I'm just telling the truth..."

"How dare you touch a woman who looks so fickle?!"

"So it's just an appearance. I have very picky tastes and never eat fast food."

"That's enough, stop talking!!! I won't ask anymore, okay?!"

Looking at Ji Ruoxi whose entire face and neck were red, Ji Li smiled inexplicably:
"So you are the shy type, my dear sister..."

"That's enough..."

Ji Ruoxi calmed down the blush on her face and glared at Ji Li fiercely——

Although not everyone in the Shulong royal family has a decadent private life, the Ninth Prince is definitely one of them.

She never thought that her brother would be so compatible with the Ninth Prince:
"You'd better avoid contact with the people of the Blood Pact Hermits."

"Is there something fishy?"

Ji Ruoxi nodded: "For a long time, Shanjie has been trying to infiltrate Shulong through the Suoyi organization. After all, this is one of the few places where they have not established even a medium-sized association."

"So your...friend is likely to achieve the same goal through you."

"It's a sex partner."

"Okay, okay, I got it!!"

After checking that everything was fine, Ji Li was "discharged from the hospital".

On the way back, Ji Ruoxi briefly outlined You Zichou's situation to Ji Li.

The King of Xiling at that time had a large family, similar to the current situation of the King of Jingling. You Zichou could be considered Ji Ruoxi's cousin.

After the last royal election, King Xiling handed over his royal power, and his share naturally went to King Yuanling.

But King Xiling died the day after he abdicated. The reason was because he had lost his royal power.

He paid too much and overdrawn his soul when he was elected as the king, which made him the king and made the whole family prosperous.

Similarly, he had to use the power of the king to maintain his own existence, which was almost the same situation as Little Daddy today.

In other words, it was from King Xiling that Little Dad learned about the effectiveness of this approach.

However, the difference is that King Xiling used unknown secret arts to gain power when he was chosen as the king, while Little Daddy used secret arts to strengthen his own promotion when he was promoted to immortal.

Therefore, the price paid by King Xiling was heavier than that paid by King Yuanling, and more contrary to common sense.

In terms of soul psychology, after his death, his family encountered many abnormal situations, big and small.

Including but not limited to various mysterious suicides:

The body of the domestic worker cooked in the pot fell into the other world when the door was opened and disappeared. The bedroom turned into an unknown stomach, digesting and dissolving the entire sleeping family...

No one knows what secret technique King Xiling used, but the price was terrifying enough.

King Yuanling made many remedies out of shock and guilt, but in You Zichou's view, it might have another meaning.

"So, this guy is a pathetic clown."

Ji Ruoxi stroked the white hair beside her ears:
"No matter what, he is my cousin. If possible, things don't have to come to this."

"But more importantly... who is behind the planning for him..."

Ji Li shook his head:

"There must be something behind this that even my father hasn't noticed. The appearance of the Ninth Prince is a good thing. At least there will be help from the Imperial Palace."

Ji Ruoxi nodded:
"My father didn't interact much with the royal family. He had some connections with the eldest prince and the third prince, but there were many frictions between the two of them. They were clear political enemies.

Although the Ninth Prince's achievements and spiritual quality are not high among the royal family, he has the advantage of not being involved in factional disputes. Perhaps he is a good choice for a long-term relationship..."

Ji Li said:
"So what does that guy want from me?"

Ji Ruoxi said:

"I'm afraid it has something to do with the succession of imperial power. Although the rules of the succession of imperial power are only known to the royal family, even Prince Ling has no way of knowing it, but this is the only explanation I can think of..."

Ji Li shrugged:

"Could it be that we two are like-minded and have highly similar hobbies?"

“…I don’t want to hear this.”

"Also, were you calling your father 'little daddy' again just now..."

Ji Li turned a deaf ear to it.

Looking at the city scenery passing by the window, he habitually opened his binary vision, scanned the sky and saw the gray data stream.

It seems that only the tombstone is orange-yellow. What secrets does this guy have...

Then he closed his vision and checked the time:
Coma for three days... If this is the price to pay every time I use autophagy, it would be too high.

After that I have to ask that guy at the tombstone for advice.

"How long is the Dragon Leap Festival?"

"Not much. Although the singularity has been solved, there is only half a month left. Some people should hurry up..."

The spiritual essence in Ji Ruoxi's eyes was pulsating, and the spiritual essence that was emanating from it caused Ji Li's soul to trigger:
"You have become immortal?"
