Soul Trigger

Chapter 59 Follow-up
"The red worm is dead?"

In the glittering hotel at night, Feilin, who was lying on the gorgeous big bed, suddenly sat up:
"Detailed process?"

"…Something seems to have happened to the leader behind the Red Whip Society. Most of the resistance forces that were still fighting back suddenly showed abnormalities."

"By the time the Special Management Bureau arrived at their last base camp, the red worms had already died suddenly, probably due to backlash."

"The people from Flash Street arrived a little late. They are now negotiating with the Special Management Bureau. The Red Whip Society controls some special resources of the Reflection World, and there may be a conflict between the two sides."

While listening to the report from her subordinates, she lifted the hair from her eyes, revealing a pair of gray eyes without the cover of the eye mask.

"In addition, one of the Red Whip Society's high priests survived and took away three or two internal personnel..."

"As you said, people from the Tower of Babel were indeed involved..."

"I see."

Feilin thought for a while:
"You don't need to follow up on the core affairs. That's it."

After hanging up the phone, Feilin got out of bed, sat in front of the gorgeous dressing mirror with his tall body, and wrapped the eye mask on the cabinet around his face again:
"Black box."

There were tapping sounds, and a strange spider-like creature covered in a black robe walked down from the shadow of the ceiling.

Its legs and feet were all long blades, arranged like a spider. Most of its body was covered with black cloth. Its head was a huge old-fashioned camera, and the sound of the lens retracting could be heard from inside.

"I'm going to be away for a few days. I'll leave the contact matters to you during this time."

"Okay." A sharp female voice came from the black box.

There is a problem with the leader behind the Red Whip Society...

That’s the Evil Lord. Who could cause the Evil Lord to “have problems”?
……

"Hey... Old Ji, don't you like eating kimchi?"

"…You really know me too well."

It was the Li Chang Stewed Chicken Restaurant that I went to last time with Jin Misa.

At this moment, several people were sitting in the only private room in the store. The eldest son and the second daughter were wolfing down their food, looking like starving ghosts.

The rat man Li Zhanxiang sat there awkwardly and pushed the Anton Chicken in front of him to Ji Li.

In addition to the first time he came here with Jin Misa, the two of them had gathered together one or two times before going to Aries College. It was also a regular gathering point for their small group, and as a result, they became familiar with the store owner.

This time, he also brought three unlucky gods here. After listening to the story of the rat man, Ji Li also had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation of the reflection world of Aries College:

After arriving at Aries College, Li Zhanxiang used his abilities to quickly eliminate all the evil in the real world.

Although he made a small profit, he didn't catch any big fish. Moreover, the abnormal flashbacks in the school, such as the scene of a female corpse jumping off a building that Ji Li had seen, did not disappear.

So he turned his gaze to the reflected world, and was shocked when he saw it -

The entire Reflection World is filled with densely packed spirit hells, and every once in a while, evil creatures come to the Reflection World and transform into "Earthbinders" at all costs to complete their nesting.

Because of this strange phenomenon, he quickly followed the clues and found the "Soul Eater".

"This guy is a high-ranking official of the Red Whip Society, but he is not very active. He also disappeared half a year ago. I didn't expect him to appear here."

Due to the characteristics of Li Zhanxiang's abilities, the Spirit Eater did not discover the rat group, and it always stayed in a fixed place, which gave Li Zhanxiang an opportunity to take advantage of.

After spending a high price, the three-star operator from Flash Street barely sealed off the Soul Eater, but he simply couldn't kill it, and even had to guard against its counterattack, and he couldn't get any intelligence at all.

Instead, because of the seal problem, I was stuck here, and I had to reinforce the seal every day. "Who would have thought that you would break in and completely destroy my seal in less than a week... You even killed a 'Giant Evil' Soul Eater..." He smiled bitterly:

"If I had known you were so capable, I wouldn't have to deal with all that mess..."

"So, this is the reason why you left Old Ji aside?" Jin Misa looked at him with ill intent while chewing kimchi.

Li Zhanxiang glanced at Jin Misha and said to Ji Li, "The contact behind you is the 'film witch' Feilin, right?"

"Film Witch?" This was the first time Ji Li heard this name.

"It has something to do with her abilities, but I don't know the details. Ms. Filin is not very active in Flash Street, but she is well-known and acts in a mysterious way. You have the 'Negative Witch' to support you, so you won't understand a reflection walker like me."

He let out a long sigh:

"I was originally forced to enter this world... Because of some personal matters, I had to complete the fastest promotion in Flash Street and obtain more resources... So my contact person is 'Magic Mirror'."

"what?"

Jin Misa stopped eating rice and asked, "Have you signed a contract with 'Magic Mirror'?"

Li Zhanxiang nodded silently.

Jin Misa gave him a thumbs up and said, "Then you are really awesome."

Then he explained to Ji Li:
"Magic Mirror" is a senior executive of Flash Street with a very bad reputation. Among the many contacts in Flash Street, he is the type that everyone wants to beat.

The reason is that he is very good at seducing people, and uses a special psychic prop to sign a high-risk, high-return gambling contract with the Flash Street operators.

The advantage of this kind of contract is that the "Magic Mirror" will release a large amount of resources to invest in the Flash Street Operators, but the latter need to return the other party exponentially within a certain period of time. This so-called "certain period of time" is actually not loose.

Moreover, he never took the initiative to come forward, but always sent various agents and operators to negotiate.

"If I can't repay you, I can't escape either, right?" Ji Li said.

"That's right. If the gambling contract is not completed before the deadline... all kinds of terrible things will happen." Li Zhanxiang said.

"Including but not limited to being branded by the Well of Souls and becoming a slave of the 'Magic Mirror', but this is only the best outcome. As for the worst outcome, no one knows, because many of the operators under the Magic Mirror have disappeared, and escaping overseas is useless."

"Some say they were transformed into spiritual essence by the magic mirror in some way, while others say they were catalyzed into evil and enslaved by the magic mirror in another way. Anyway, this is my story."

"When I saw that the person I requested help from was a complete rookie who had no information at all... can you understand how I felt?"

"I wanted to force you to leave at first. It was actually me who led you into the women's restroom by mistake."

"Later, I wanted to lead you to a more terrifying place to scare you away. I even went out in person to warn you. But at that time, the seal was loose for some reason, and I was too busy to deal with it. I thought that you, a newcomer, would not be able to cause any trouble. Who would have thought..."

Li Zhanxiang shook his head helplessly:
"Anyway, this matter is my fault. Please forgive me for my previous disrespect..."

"I still prefer your previous rebellious look." Jin Misha took a sip of soup and said with a smile.

"There's no point in talking nonsense." Ji Li said while gnawing on the chicken:
"The matter has been resolved. You don't have to worry about your bet. I have also killed the Soul Eater..."

In short, where is your sincerity?
Li Zhanxiang is also a seasoned veteran and stood up:
"Of course I know and understand. I'll remember this favor. Also, this thing is for you..."

A flash of pain flashed across his eyes, and he reached behind his butt and pulled out a rat tail. He clenched his eyes and pulled it off. For a moment, his forehead was covered with sweat and he gasped for breath:

"…This is…a part of my body that was transformed after I awakened. It was originally connected to my soul well, and can be considered a manifestation of my ability."

"After it is pulled out, it can be used as a spiritual tool. It can revive the corpses of rats, or enslave living rats and make them your eyes and ears. In addition, the rats can travel through latitudes within a certain range."

　I updated less today because I was a bit busy and had to adjust the outline. Please forgive me.
