Soul Trigger

Chapter 50 Not Human

At the moment of shock, the "devil" was already rampaging through the group of evil creatures like a chariot. With a wave of its claws, several ice sculptures transformed by the evil creatures were shattered, and others were knocked away like frying beans.

The ice waterfalls splashed in all directions, and amid wails and screams, they raised vast icy mists, turning the sky upside down, and the ground rumbled with every heavy step.

The woman's eyes were filled with fear. She felt the icy mist coming towards her, causing her pores to tighten. Whether it was the trigger of her soul or the cells in her body, they were all conveying one word to her -

escape! ! !
She turned around and tried to leave, but an evil creature leaped several meters and fell headfirst into her escape route. It was a long-armed evil spirit with sutures all over its body. The moment it turned over, it opened its entire belly with a huge mouth covered with long teeth and bit towards her.

The moment she retreated in fear, a huge ice claw brushed past her side and crushed the evil creature to pieces. Immediately afterwards, another shock wave exploded and blew her away.

That was the ice wave that exploded when the "demon" stomped on the ground. In the blink of an eye, its huge body crashed into the other side of the environment like a cannonball, and the sounds of flesh tearing and ice collapsing filled the air.

Even though she was the most experienced Mist Hunter, she was now completely devoid of spiritual energy. No matter how many tricks she tried, she could not perform any tricks. She could only crawl and roll while screaming to avoid the aftermath of the battlefield.

The affected aerial cages fell down one by one, as if chasing her dodging figure, and each time they missed her by a hair's breadth.

When the battlefield of the "Ice Demon" finally moved to the other side, she had a chance to catch her breath. By this time, she was too tired to move her legs. She suddenly fell behind a hanging cage, then barely turned over, gasping for breath.

“…That was a close call… Damn… Damn!”

The woman breathed heavily, and looked through the gap in the cage at the "ice demon" that was still wreaking havoc.

It was stirring up a cloud of icy dust, and used its sharp claws to suddenly lift an evil creature away. It took a step back to knock down two evil spirits that were rushing towards it, and at the same time, it elbowed a ghost that was floating over and knocked it away. At the same time, its strong snout made of frost suddenly opened, and bit a human-faced bat with wings on its back into two pieces. It twisted its neck and threw it out, knocking down a group of small monsters on the ground that had just crawled up.

...It's too violent. These small fish and shrimps are at most high-level evil spirits. They are just lambs to be slaughtered in front of this evil spirit...

After taking several deep breaths, she managed to calm down and observed the various actions of the "devil". At the same time, her thoughts, which had just stopped due to fear and tension, started moving again.

It didn't smash me to pieces just now. Was it a coincidence, or... was it not interested in me?

She didn't know, and didn't dare to take the risk, but even if it was a coincidence, it gave her a thought -

The owner of the nest here is a demon. It is at the top of the ecological chain here. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a second demon to appear. How can there be two tigers in one mountain? They are not one male and one female.

But this "freezer" spirit prison itself is very strange. When I first entered here, I felt that the number of passages in it exceeded that of ordinary spirit prisons. From this point of view, it is not impossible that a demon ran in from somewhere else...

As a Mist Hunter, she was naturally sensitive to the evil ecology and dimensional environment in the Limbo and Reflection World. The current situation did not allow her to investigate in detail, but maybe she could use this intrusive demon to escape...

At this moment, she saw something moving in her peripheral vision. Just as she thought it was something evil and tried to avoid it, she saw an unbelievable figure——

A haggard, curly-haired man with a gloomy look on his face walked out from behind a broken large prison door with a complicated expression on his face.

"Yu Qing?!"

A familiar face appeared in front of her, which surprised and delighted her. Her brows relaxed slightly and she glanced around. Seeing that the ice demon had completely attracted the attention of all the evil creatures, she hunched her body and quickly ran towards Yu Qing in the natural visual obstacle formed by the falling cage.

Yu Qing was staring at Ji Li's heroic figure killing people in a daze, but he felt his shoulders tighten. His face changed and he was about to scream out in fear, but he was covered with his mouth and dragged behind the cage:

"It's me! Be quiet!"

The struggling Yu Qing was stunned, a hint of ecstasy appeared in his eyes, and a muffled voice came out of his mouth:

"Xin Yuxing?!"

The woman let go and put her finger over her mouth.

"You're still alive... No, you're the most experienced among us... You should still be alive!!"

"Keep your voice down! There's a big guy over there..."

"Big guy?"

Yu Qing followed Xin Yuxing's gaze and was also startled -

Damn, why did the black goat grow taller again? !

When Ji Li left just now, it was only two people tall, but now it has grown a lot bigger...

As if realizing what Yu Qing was thinking, Xin Yuxing grinned bitterly:
"At least five meters tall, and his entire body is emitting spiritual essence..."

As she spoke, her voice suddenly stopped.

"...Wait, it wasn't this big just now...It's growing in size...by drawing energy from this Limbo?!"

Only then did she see that the "evil spirit" was transforming those evil things and shackles into spiritual essence and merging them into its own body. Her eyes widened instantly:

"...It's unprecedented... That's right, this thing must be an 'alienated individual'. If it really swallows the entire Lingbo Prison, I'm afraid it will evolve into a 'giant evil' in an instant..."

"That's not the problem..." Yu Qing interrupted.

"I know that we must not let this thing out. The ecological impact it has on the reflected world may affect the real world, and even radiate to the inner world, causing even more terrible disasters..."

"What I actually want to say is..." Yu Qing interrupted again. "I understand. We really need to use this demon to escape now. Now I have a plan..."

"Let me finish what I'm saying!" Yu Qing finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "That wasn't an evil creature, that was a person! A person who had turned into an evil spirit!"

"?"

……

Xin Yuxing was a little confused at first, but as Yu Qing explained the whole story, his brows became more and more furrowed.

"...I know that this constant absorption of abnormal spiritual essence is likely to cause him to fall into corruption, but there is no other way now, right? This is also the problem I am currently struggling with..."

The woman pondered for several breaths before looking up at him again:
"Is it possible that... you are struggling in the wrong direction?"

"……I don't understand you?"

"You mean, the first time you saw him, he was a skeleton with a goat's head, in the form of an evil spirit. He also claimed to be an operator of Flash Street, and his ID was Black Goat?"

"is there a problem?"

Xin Yuxing was silent for a few seconds:
"He's lying..."

"What?" Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Are you overthinking it?"

What's the need to lie?

But Xin Yuxing's next words made him a little uncertain:

“Black Goat… is a three-star operator from Flash Street Europe. It is impossible for him to appear in Silla, let alone this monster in front of us!”

Yu Qing was a little stunned: "Same name?"

Xin Yuxing looked at him silently:
"There are no duplicate IDs on Flash Street."

"According to my method of time calculation, we have been here for about three months. Do you think that a little-known European three-star operator would suddenly die in just three months?!"

Yu Qing was stunned, and felt a chill on his spine for some reason:
"Then...why did he lie..."

Xin Yuxing took a deep breath, his shoulders trembling a little:
"...At first I thought he was a demon, but after listening to what you said, it seems that he has never revealed his human form in front of you, right..."

"In that case, is it possible that he is a 'Dead Apostle'?"

Instantly, Yu Qing felt the chill rising from the soles of his feet all the way up his spine, and he shuddered violently:
"How did you come to this conclusion?"

"He claims to be a demon, but he has never revealed his true form to you. How long have you met him? Don't you know how terrible the consumption of spiritual essence by demonization is?"

"But... he could also be a Splinter..."

"Even if it's a schizographer, have you ever heard of a human spirit that can absorb abnormal spiritual essence at will? Isn't he afraid of going crazy in an instant and being corrupted into something evil?"

"This……"

Yu Qing's eyes were a little dull.

In fact, he already believed it halfway. Considering the relationship, the words of colleagues who used to work with him day and night are more convincing.

The main thing was that he couldn't believe for a moment that he had actually spent so much time with such a terrifying monster, and even chatted and laughed with it and acknowledged it as his godfather and godson...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rub his arms again. They were too cold.

Yu Qing didn't really understand the Dead Apostles, but anyone who was awakened knew how terrifying the Dead Apostles were.

The "Bad City" incident.

The Black Sun Government once implemented a plan, attempting to directly acknowledge the existence of the Three Worlds and supernatural creatures through the official government level, so as to openly incorporate the management of evil into the governance structure. Therefore, a small city was selected for a closed pilot.

The result was that the entire plan failed, the city turned into a ghost town, hundreds of thousands of people were listed as missing, and the original city was also listed as a high-risk abnormal area, code-named "Disaster City".

There is no awakened person who has entered the industry who does not know about this. In addition to the inherent difficulty in implementing this plan, the mastermind behind it is the dead disciple named "Barking Head".

Able to communicate like a human being and possessing self-awareness, it is a demon walking in the human world, a human-shaped natural disaster, a super monster that can mobilize the power of the other world, and a potential evil 'Lord'.

He really couldn't imagine that a super monster that could destroy a city had been his cellmate for more than ten minutes, and he even called him daddy? !

That's right... No wonder he has remained evil and can absorb abnormal spiritual essence...

Because he is an evil spirit!
