Soul Trigger

Chapter 505 Variables
As if his heart was beating in his ears, Ji Li suddenly opened his eyes and saw a strange darkness in front of him.

The towering space, the magnificent murals, and the gray spiritual fires lit in the fire altars on both sides of the road, casting the surroundings in a pale color.

Ji Li glanced at his palm, which was still in the state of Death Star:
This is not Dragon Prison.

The scene just now flashed through his mind. He was very sure that he had finally opened the Dragon Prison, but the scene froze at the moment when Li Jiangxing and himself rushed into the Dragon Prison. The exploding ∞ symbol expanded the entire dimension:
The power of Ouroboros.

He didn't know what the thing did, but it was obvious that the dimensional gate had fallen into some kind of disorder and teleported him to this space.

So was Li Jiangxing also teleported here? Ji Li looked around, filled with a solemn deathly aura, without any spirits or living creatures to be seen.

Although he had considered the possibility that Li Jiangxing would refuse to cooperate and have a conflict with him.

But the existence of this possibility does not mean that the worst-case scenario he expects to see is not what he wants to see, and it even directly involves the existence of Ouroboros...

I'm afraid Tombstone didn't expect this either.

This guy originally didn't use the dead puppet incarnation, as this incarnation would disperse his strength.

As a complete Dead Apostle operating in the territory of Shulong, the consequences of having their strength dispersed can often be fatal.

But under Ji Li's persuasion, this guy still separated a dead puppet and let Ji Li bring it into the Red Heart Laboratory through the authorization formula stolen by Verdan and the resentful dragon spirit on Ji Li's body to conceal his aura.

After all, there are internal personnel to provide assistance, and Ji Li's resentful dragon spirit to provide cover, so if time is not long, it will not be exposed.

The intention is to have the presence of the tombstone to cooperate when necessary.

The reason why it is not a more suitable little daddy is because the little daddy cannot be carried around with you.

Does this mean that Li Jiangxing’s research on the Ouroboros has reached an extremely in-depth level, and even the tombstone has misjudged the situation?

After a brief review, Ji Li looked around.

The soul trigger was triggered, and an extremely strange threat came from the former:

"This is the Soul Prison..."

The flesh trigger gives you a comfortable feeling like home:
"And it's a very strong Lingbo Prison..."

Soul Trigger is on guard against this place, but Flesh Trigger is obsessed with it.

As Ji Li turned around, a ferocious mural rising into the sky appeared before his eyes, with fangs and claws bared, filled with endless hatred that seemed to want to pounce on him:

"The great tomb."

Unexpectedly, they came to the big tomb... Ji Li's body surface was trembling with rainbow colors.

The big tomb is the ancient hell of the souls.

A soul over 99 years old can enter Nirvana or reincarnation, but only souls with an age in three digits can be called ancients.

This tomb itself has a history of more than 700 years, and its owner has existed for even longer than that.

Ji Li raised his full vigilance:
"tombstone?"

No answer.

Ji Li glanced around and based on the internal information about the tomb that he had learned from Yuanling Palace, he did not find any decayed environment, so he could confirm that this was the outer perimeter of the tomb.

Thinking about it, Ji Li looked at the magnificent corridor lit by the spiritual fire in front of him:

The spirit fire altar can still be lit, which means that the core seal of the tomb has not been lifted and the tomb owner will not appear.

In other words, safe for now.

Let's go find the dead puppet of the tombstone. Carrying it with him exposes Ji Li's own intentions. Although this guy needs to be reintegrated with the tombstone body to transfer his memories back, it's best not to leave him in such a place.

Another more important thing is that before Ji Li came to the Mirage Research Institute, he asked the Yuanling Palace to make sufficient preparations and asked the ninth prince's personal guard Afu to act together.

If Li Jiangxing went out without meeting Ji Li, before he found Ji Li, Li Jiangxing would be intercepted by them with appropriate means, and they would not be able to cause trouble even if they wanted to.

Or maybe Li Jiangxing was also dragged in here?
No matter what, we still have to find a way to get out as soon as possible. Li Jiangxing has plans for the Dragon Leap Festival, and with the existence of the Ouroboros power, he must let his little dad make corresponding preparations...

Ji Li thought for a moment and then he pushed his feet and walked along the magnificent corridor guarded by the Spirit Fire Altar.

But how do we get out of a place like a tomb?

Find a way out?
Ji Li's flesh and blood trigger could not open the dimension between the tomb and reality. The antiquity and soul strength of this spiritual prison were so high that it felt almost the same as the real world.

Therefore, compared to ordinary dimensional entrances, or the many Silla prisons that can be cut into by Bunny Girl with a knife, the prison in the tomb is very solid and stable.

This stability does not mean that its spiritual quality itself is very stable, but that the spiritual quality that constitutes the tomb is very stable.

This also leads to the existence of various doors in the tomb. For example, when the tomb fluctuates and the battlefield for the king's selection is opened, the "main gate" will be opened. Even this main gate has a corresponding door in the world.

Only at certain moments will a soul-psychological connection with the tomb be created, transforming into a real dimensional door.

Ji Li remained extremely vigilant, guarding against any possible evil derivatives.

This derivative of the ancient spiritual prison is like lice growing in a black hole.

The lice that can grow and move freely in a black hole are definitely like giant mosquitoes in the sky and should not be underestimated. But Ji Li gradually discovered an important problem.

His soul was shaking tensely for nearly ten minutes, and he didn't even see a cockroach, let alone any malicious derivatives.

Looking at the empty space of the huge mausoleum in front of him, which looked like a magnificent relic, Ji Li was speechless for a moment.

This place is actually empty.

Just then, he heard a strange sound coming from deep within the mausoleum.

He moved his feet, tearing through the rainbow arc in the dim light, and after a few turns he arrived at the place where the strange noise came from.

All I saw was a tombstone shackled to the wall by countless chains, struggling constantly.

Noticing Ji Li's figure appearing before its eyes, its movements suddenly stopped:
"I didn't expect you to be dragged in here too. There's something weird about this chain. Even I can't break free of it."

The tombstone twisted again:

"I heard the plan you talked about with Li Jiangxing... you are very brave."

"Do you believe me when I say that I prepared this excuse to confuse him? Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you with me."

"Do I look gullible?"

The tombstone is still twisting:
"But you're not here to silence me, are you? If that's the case, I'd believe it... Hey, wait! These chains can't..."

Ji Li spread out his five fingers, his claws grew longer, and iridescent blade light ripped out -

Under the astonished gaze of the Tombstone Crown Helmet, the chains snapped:

"You cut it off!?"

"It's just a chain. I even think you're pretending to be confused."

"...The owner of this place is an Ancient One who is at least eight hundred years old. Do you know what old spiritual substance you just cut off?"

"It's broken, we have to get out of here quickly."

Tombstone fell silent for a few breaths, and the gaze from under the helmet towards Ji Li became increasingly profound:
"Okay. Where's Li Jiangxing?"

Ji Li said:
"I haven't encountered him yet, nor have I sensed his presence. Have you encountered any malicious derivatives?"

Tombstone: "No. I find the situation here very strange. There is not even a single malicious spawn. But this gives us a chance to leave."

The voice of the tombstone was full of solemnity:
"...I really didn't expect that we would actually break into the tomb. This place is too dangerous. Regardless of whether Li Jiangxing is here or not, we must leave as soon as possible without alerting the tomb owner..."

It said, and rushed out first without further ado:

"My flesh trigger is squeezing and throbbing in a certain direction. That should be the exit. Regardless of whether derivatives will appear or not, follow me first..."

……

The scene of Dragon Leap Festival.

This is a magnificent ancient monument of considerable size. After years of complete restoration, it exudes an ancient atmosphere while being combined with Shulong’s modern architectural aesthetics.

At this moment, workers and passers-by are interweaving on the blocked roads, passers-by are taking photos and lingering, and the shops embedded inside the ancient monument have already opened.

Although some areas have not yet fully hung up festive lights and decorations, the atmosphere is still rich.

And this is only a corner of this ancient site. Further up there are many other sites such as Youlong Street, Chuanliu Creek, Tiaolangche and Ancient Scale Tower, all of which have contributed their status as ancient sites to the Dragon Leap Festival.

Right in front of the ancient scale tower at the core of this historic site, a group of people wearing various scale armors, who are suspected to be COSPLAY people, are scattered everywhere. Guards in law enforcement uniforms cast surveillance glances at them from time to time.

"You bitch..."

The man spat and looked at the big man beside him with armor with a flying bird relief:

"I didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen during the opening of the Dragon Leap Festival. There aren't even a few public opinion groups to check out the site."

The big man glanced at the passers-by, as if trying to find out something, and said thoughtfully:
"The heir of Yuanling Palace died unexpectedly, and an illegitimate child was born... The singularity exploded, the Ye'an organization was destroyed, and the Forbidden City was shaken... It was indeed a turbulent time."

The two were chatting casually when suddenly a buzzing sound came to their ears:
"Boss, there's something wrong. There's something evil going on."

The big man's eyes lit up:
"At a time like this, could there be an evil being that escapes the guards' supervision?"

However, the next moment, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his expression froze, and he suddenly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, they had turned into a sapphire-gold color and were sweeping in all directions. His expression suddenly changed:
“No…something’s wrong!”

He stood up suddenly, his voice full of doubt and uncertainty:
"This breath..."

At the same time, the guards around also sensed something and spread out in all directions, not caring about the people from the Public Opinion Group.

But the noise of the crowd suddenly rang out, and a sky full of red flowers squeezed out of the air and fell in all directions.

In an instant, the entire monument was covered with gorgeous petals.

But under the sturdy man's azure eyes, those petals were turning into paper money burning in the air, turning into gray and black and scattering all over the ancient monument:
"...The tomb was opened ahead of schedule?!"

PS: I had asked for leave yesterday, but I fell into a deep sleep in bed. I woke up for a short while, and my mind was a mess. I completely forgot about this incident...XD
