Soul Trigger

Chapter 527 The Blocked Secret
Ji Li certainly didn't know now that Crazy Woman was ready to give up the entire Black Sun Mansion as a dowry in order to marry him. He was searching for various clues in the Red Heart Laboratory with Verdan.

"Your Highness, these are all extremely valuable results..."

Verdan flipped through the files, still looking as sickly as he did at the ceremony, but when he touched on Li Jiangxing's research, his eyes lit up:
"...These results are all important factors pointing to the power of Ouroboros. Even I have not been allowed to view them before. Is it really okay for you to bring me in directly like this?"

"Isn't this also what you asked for?"

Ji Li closed the file in his hand and put it back where it was.

Upon hearing this, Verdan's expression darkened:
"I just think that the teacher shouldn't be so out of control. Whether it's the erosion of the other world or the temptation of the Ouroboros power, there must be clues hidden in his research..."

Ji Li shook his head:

"These are all research materials. Although they are all top secret, none of them directly touch upon the power of the Ouroboros itself. There should be other dimensions here."

The place where the two of them are at the moment is the archive room in the deepest part of the laboratory, which is usually only accessible by Li Jiangxing.

But here, Ji Li still couldn't find what he wanted.

There is almost no record of the rituals Li Jiangxing used in the Dragon Leap Festival, and whether he was out of control or acting in his own conscience, he would have been adequately prepared before performing such a dangerous large-scale ritual.

Whether it is in written form or experimental form, there will always be traces.

Written form means research notes or archives, and experimental form means there is an experimental site. There will always be something with a strong correlation.

As long as he finds the research notes and the experimental site, Ji Li will be able to obtain more information about the power of Ouroboros.

If it is the latter, then ideally, there should still be a small amount of Ouroboros power left at the scene.

The change in the Ascension Protocol made him want to come into contact with the power of Ouroboros once again, and use binary observation to see why that thing led to this result.

Ji Li glanced at his phone, which showed the message he had sent to Tombstone.

They were "When will we meet?" and "I need detailed information on the Ouroboros power," but no response was received.

Tapping the screen, Ji Li switched to the contact window with Filin, which also showed his report on recent events, and there was no reply either.

But Filin’s last reply was more than a week ago.

After helping Ji Li trace back the crystal from the other world, Da Lei seemed to be in a very busy state. Ji Li wanted to ask her questions even though she was knowledgeable, but there was nothing she could do.

Putting away his phone, Ji Li glanced at Weldan who was still studying the research notes carefully. Suddenly he remembered something, took out a fully wrapped bouquet from his pocket and handed it forward.

Verdan was stunned when he was interrupted:
"For me?"

Ji Li nodded:

"I owe you a bunch of flowers. I should have picked one, but I only picked one because it's hard to carry. If I put it in the space prop, it will wither quickly. I've also packaged it, so just make do with it."

“? Thank you…” Verdan took it with a puzzled look on his face.

Of course, he didn't know that Ji Li was so engrossed in playing calculations on the viewing platform that he lost the opportunity to have the beautiful girl put the bouquet into his arms.

Since Old Ji said he would compensate you for the flowers, he certainly won't owe you money:

"Is there any result?"

Verdan put away his research notes and shook his head:

"No, although it is fascinating to watch, it still has no direct relationship with the power of Ouroboros..."

Ji Li asked: "Are these the only spaces in the entire Red Heart Laboratory? Are there any other places?" Weildan said: "I have been in the Red Heart Laboratory for a long time. I am very sure that these are the only spaces in the entire laboratory. We have searched all the things and instruments..."

Ji Li narrowed his eyes: "You and Li Jiangxing conducted the acceptance inspection of the results of the round wheel project together, and spent quite a long time together in the Red Heart Laboratory, so did Li Jiangxing have any abnormal behavior?
For example, disappearing from the lab for a long time, or suddenly disappearing, or encountering some unexpected situation but never telling the reason? "

Verdan shook his head:
"Because the Red Heart Laboratory itself is top secret, most of the space was only accessible to the teacher before the Imperial Guards took over, so most of the time it is the situation you described, but..."

He pondered:

"He often stays in Luo Lou's room for a long time, even if it's not for experiments."

"What's the purpose?"

"It should be a memorial service."

As Weldan spoke, his face looked somewhat lonely.

The former chief favorite disciple holds a transcendent status in Li Jiangxing's heart, which will more or less affect the mentality of some of his fellow students.

"Go and take a look." Ji Li didn't say any more.

The memorial tablet that Li Jiangxing set up for his beloved disciple Luo Lou is the core of the Red Heart Laboratory, and it is also the place where the conflict broke out when Li Jiangxing attacked Ji Li.

The place had been preliminarily cleaned by the Imperial Guards, and the remaining spiritual essence from the fight between the two men had been cleared away. However, some traces of fighting still remained at the scene, and Luo Lou's spirit tablet was also lying about.

The two of them had already looked here several times. Apart from the spirit tablet and spirit tablet made into a shrine-like shape, there was nothing worth noting.

When you are deep here, you can clearly feel the fluctuations of the abnormal dimension, because this place is the core, and is connected to the Great Tomb and the Hell of Resentful Dragon in terms of dimension. This is also the reason for the appearance of the singularity before.

Logically speaking, anything related to the resentful dragon, the other world, or even the power of the Ouroboros should not be stored in this place, because if something goes wrong, it will lead to catastrophic consequences.

So Ji Li and Weldan didn't look at it much before, but after walking around and coming back here, Ji Li felt a little different, and called Weldan who was about to start searching from the surrounding walls:
"Don't you notice anything wrong?"

Verdan glanced around:
"The whispering of the great tomb?"

"No."

Ji Li pointed to the spirit tablet:

"That thing is wrong."

Verdan walked to the shrine and straightened the fallen tablet:
"It's just that the spirit tablet fell over. This doesn't seem to be abnormal, right?"

But Ji Li looked at Verdan, with a glint in his eyes:
"What about when we came in before?"

"Also upside down, and then I..."

As he was speaking, Verdan's voice suddenly stopped.

The previous two times I entered here to search for clues, the spirit tablets here were upside down.

Out of respect for the dead and as a lifestyle habit, it's like when you see a strand of hair on your phone screen you want to wipe it off, or when a plastic-sealed drink spills on the table you want to pick it up.

Every time Weldan came in here, he would pick up the fallen spirit tablet.

So is this spirit tablet rebellious or does it like to cause trouble? Every time someone comes, it deliberately falls down and waits for people to help it up?
After realizing this, Weldan's face suddenly turned horrified. He instantly jumped behind Ji Li with his pupils trembling:

"Your Highness, don't scare me. I don't have any spiritual essence to use right now... Did you remember it wrongly?"
