Soul Trigger

Chapter 6 Abyssal Corridor
At this moment, Ji Li didn't care whether he would damage the mirror or not. He pried it off and ran away. The trigger sensor deep in his heart had been throbbing to the extreme for some time:
Danger!

The room behind the wooden door is another corridor, the layout of which is very similar to the previous corridor.

But the wooden board sealing the corridor window was being blown away by the blood, spraying thick, fishy blood like a faucet, and the phone on the small table was ringing frantically.

Ji Li stepped on the blood that was gradually reaching his ankles and rushed forward like a sharp arrow. When he passed by the black old-fashioned telephone, the ringing stopped and the telephone suddenly fell to the ground.

A fishy and smelly tongue instantly shot out from the receiver and rolled towards his calf with a wet and sticky sound of breaking through the air!

The trigger sensor was beating wildly like a heart beat. Ji Li didn't care about the blood on the ground and rolled on the ground to avoid the swift tongue.

All the flesh and blood on his body dissolved, and when he stood up, he had turned into a "faceless skeleton". He quickly used a crowbar to nail the tongue to the ground.

A stream of smelly blood spurted out, and a sharp whistle suddenly came from the receiver not far away. Ji Li, whose eardrums were hurt, stepped on the blood, splashing it everywhere.

He slammed open the door leading to the next room, but saw blood swirling at the end of the room, rushing in like a flood.

A scarlet woman's head emerged vaguely in the blood, gradually revealing a hideous body underneath, with fangs and claws bared, and sharp nails grabbing towards him like some alien monster.

Even without high-tech danger sensors, his nearly three hundred years of combat awareness allowed him to instantly throw away the crowbar and the troublesome mirror in his hand.

The crowbar flew out like a javelin, piercing the black-haired woman's head and causing a huge wave of blood.

But it did not hinder the advance of the bloody flood at all. Just when Ji Li was ready to fight to the death, the mirror thrown by his back hand crashed into the bloody water.

In an instant, a burst of orange sparks exploded from the mirror, and the entire sea of ​​blood rolled up as if in response to stress, making a shrill scream.

At the same time, it continued to seep toward the walls and the ground, and quickly disappeared amid the woman's unwilling wailing, leaving only a shrinking pool of blood.

Ji Li quickly stepped forward and picked up the mirror again. He saw himself with a sheep skull on his head, torn apart by the dense cracks on the mirror surface.

As a result of the violent dismantling and throwing just now, a large piece of the mirror was missing, and the remaining part was in a shaky state.

"How do we get rid of that thing?"

The power of the mirror confirmed what the "man in the mirror" had said before, making this stranger somewhat trustworthy to Ji Li.

But the other party did not respond to his question:

【careful】

【Run, run, run, run】

When the words "be careful" gradually emerged, Ji Li had already rushed to the next room. At the same time, blood began to seep out of the surrounding walls again, mixed with the faint wailing of the black-haired woman.

"Can't be killed?"

[The Lingbo Prison has been sealed]

[It is difficult to interfere]

[One more time at most]

【once】

[It’s over, it’s over]

【It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over】

Ji Li Gu stomped his leg hard, which meant that he was ready to deal with emergencies, but what happened next was obviously beyond his tactical expectations.

The entire corridor was rapidly tilting, the gravity changed, the ceiling moved in front of the eyes, the door in front moved to under the feet, and the entire environment rotated ninety degrees in an instant!

The door that was about to be broken open also opened by itself under the sudden change in gravity because it was at his feet, like a bottomless abyss that swallowed him up!

Under the sudden change in gravity, the corridor turned into an abyss like a deep well, causing Ji Li's body to fall continuously. In his eyes, the collapsed corridor was just a vertical downward passage for indoor scenery, causing him to fall rapidly under the potential energy of gravity acceleration. In just a few seconds, he had already fallen through the door three times, and the red wallpapers also became blurred in his vision as he fell at high speed.

If he continues like this, he will be smashed to pieces!
The bone claw instantly pierced into the wall, pulling apart a piece of wall dust and bone fragments from top to bottom. It lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped. The claw had already turned hot and red due to the intense friction, emitting wisps of green smoke.

Ji Li's claws were deeply embedded in the wall, and one of his bony legs was half-stepping on the door frame of the next door that he was about to fall into. Looking up, he could see long corridors vertically connected together, leading straight to the sky, and under his feet was an identical corridor abyss.

"The Prison of the Soul? What the hell is this place?"

Ji Li looked at what he was holding in his other paw——

The mirror had long been pinched into dense cracks by his sharp bone claws, and even after another round of sudden incidents just now, the remaining mirror surface in his claws was less than one-third of what it was at the beginning.

He called out a few times, but apart from the word "light" made up of mist, the "person in the mirror" seemed to have disappeared, without any sound.

What does “light” mean?
This should have been a complete clue, but because the mirror was broken, only one word was left.

The Ascension Protocol was automatically calculated in his mind, and a large number of logical boxes were growing and disappearing at a high speed in the corners of his retina.

In the absence of a brain prosthesis, the computing power of the Ascension Protocol is extremely limited. Ji Li probably can't rely on it, and he himself is not the type who is good at solving puzzles.

Looking around, the lighting in this hell-like vertical corridor was extremely dim, and even the reflection in the mirror was not obvious.

Through the few remaining mirror fragments, Ji Li saw his current appearance in the dense cracks -

It is not much different from the first transformation, but the details do not show those flying and screaming black souls. The user experience is also slightly inferior to the first time, which should be due to multiple transformations in a short period of time.

“…It can’t get any worse.”

At this moment, a hint of bright red appeared in the scenery above his head reflected in the mirror.

He looked up suddenly, and at the end of the vertical corridor that seemed to have no end, a vast ocean of blood was falling towards him at a high speed!

"...You really won't let me take a break!"

Ji Li inserted the mirror into the gap of his bone armor and jumped into the door frame, stepping on a cabinet that was vertically attached to the wall like glue. Relying on the power and speed of the faceless bone at this moment, he quickly flew away from the blood above his head.

At this moment, these inverted corridors formed a whole strange rock climbing passage in his eyes, but he was not going up, but down.

The furniture stuck to all sides like glue, giving him something to step on as he went down.

In just half a minute, the blood on the head had expanded countless times in his field of vision, which meant that the opponent's falling speed was far faster than his own.

Ji Li could even clearly see the woman's big mouth under her black hair, her skin and teeth stuck together, and she made a crying-like scream.

He could hear a hint of excitement in that scream——

The speed is not even on the same level, you will definitely be caught up.

Looking at the endless corridor like an abyss under his feet, Ji Li no longer hesitated, turned over and jumped into the abyss!

The whistling wind scraped against his bony body. Under the influence of gravity, everything around him was blurred by the extremely fast movement, and he was falling faster and faster.

The possible gravity change in the risk assessment did not come again, but the sea of ​​blood above his head showed no sign of moving away. Even though it was a little slower than before, it was still approaching him at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Ascension Protocol, haven't you figured it out yet?!"

The moment the last syllable of Ji Li's question fell, he felt a clear force being drawn out of his body, and his bony body suddenly exploded with a large number of cracks, and fragments of varying sizes broke open and rose and disappeared in his sight.

At the same time, a logic frame issued by the Ascension Protocol enlarged in front of him:
[About to consume a lot of energy, overclocking...]
