Soul Trigger

Chapter 68 Flattery
Great soul?
A hint of doubt flashed across Ji Li's face.

What he thought of was that the other party had sensed the curse of his inner world, because strictly speaking this thing was the most crucial secret of his, so he would consider this thing first.

But on second thought, the other party should be referring to his 299-year-old soul.

Ever since I came into this world, my soul has been like a 299-year-old ginseng. It seems that everyone is interested in taking a look at it.

So what does this guy in front of me, who is suspected to be the evil lord, mean?

Seeing that he didn't sit down immediately, Monsa became a little flustered:
"Please forgive my intrusion, honorable Wheel-Turner... I know that people like you who walk among the sheep certainly don't want to reveal their identities... Well, I admit that I do want to get to know you..."

It carefully looked at Ji Li's body in front of it, and its eyes seemed a little evasive.

It was constantly suppressing its inner curiosity. It really wanted to ask why the "essence" of this "wheel-turner" was such a strange mechanical body, but it didn't dare.

Ji Li couldn't handle Monsa's terrified look——

Wheel-turner? Does he think he is some special person?

And the evasive look in Ji Li's eyes, he glanced at his own skeletal body and became even more alert:
What is it about this evil body that attracts this guy?

Ji Li thought about it and chose to sit on the chair.

Indeed, ever since entering this spiritual prison, Monsa has been giving himself preferential treatment intentionally or unintentionally.

Throughout the whole process, he was inducing the enthusiasm of the "audience" to focus on himself, constantly building momentum, and constantly giving himself opportunities to earn points.

In that case, just install it.

Mengsa poured Ji Li a glass of red wine, and then carefully sat down at the seat opposite him:
"Since I was born, I have lived in this tiny country of Silla for 72 years. Today, I finally met a real wheel turner... I would like to ask a bold question..."

Its eyes were still glancing at Ji Li: "How many reincarnations have you experienced?"

How many reincarnations have I gone through...

After thinking for a few breaths, Ji Li suddenly asked back: "Do you want to reincarnate too?"

He didn't know what the Wheel-Turner and Reincarnation meant, but the other party should have regarded him as some kind of evil with a higher ecological niche. In that case, it would be better to answer the question with a question.

This is a way to get away with it, but because the keywords are taken from the other party's questions, it is very likely to fish out interesting information.

When carrying out missions in the World Tree Group in the past, Ji Li had to impersonate an important person several times. The most memorable one was when he was on a planetary base at the other end of the solar system, pretending to be the founder of the World Tree Group who had already ascended to the sky.

That experience gave him a lot of experience in pretending to be a super boss, not to mention that he later gradually became a real superior.

As soon as he asked this question, Monsa immediately explained:

"...Yes, that's right! I have gone through 72 years, but I am still just a dead apostle, and I have not made any progress..."

Are you a Dead Apostle?!
Ji Li became more alert again.

He has not yet learned the detailed information about the "Dead Apostles", a kind of evil creature, but he knows that the danger of the Dead Apostles is even higher than that of the Evil Lord, even though the Evil Lord itself is much stronger than the Dead Apostles.

Because the Lord of Evil is strictly speaking a lord-type evil, but the Dead Apostles are different. From the perspective of the evil ecology, the Dead Apostles are hunting-type.

If the Lord of Evil is the reactor in a nuclear power plant, then the Dead Apostles are the ones who carry a truckload of nuclear waste and scatter it everywhere.

This is also the reason why Yu Qing and the others were so scared when they guessed that Ji Li was a "Dead Apostle". But this Monza in front of him looked like a lord-type Dead Apostle?

According to the public information on Flash Street that he had read, this kind of eccentric evil that does not conform to the normal ecology is generally regarded as a "special type", referring to an existence that is unique compared to other evils.

"I want to wait until 27 years to start reincarnation. This way, I will have a chance to become a Lord..."

Mengsa looked at Ji Li expectantly, rubbing his hands excitedly:
"So... I would like to ask you for advice. Of course, I will do my best to give you the corresponding compensation..."

Seventy-two plus twenty-seven, so 99 years equals one reincarnation... Based on this logic, I must have reincarnated three times at my advanced age. Ji Li pondered. But Monsa did not directly tell me the number of times he had "reincarnated". In other words, he only knew that he was a "wheel-turner who had reincarnated more than once", but he could not see through the true age of my soul...

This made Ji Li feel a little more relieved. These high-level evil creatures were not that perverted.

It's like you know that I am a bomb and many people will die after it explodes, but you only know that there is a bomb here and you don't know my specific equivalent and explosion range.

This guy looks excited, as if he wants to know the secret, or method, of "reincarnation". This shows that "reincarnation" itself has considerable value and a certain degree of secrecy among the high-level evil groups.

But the problem is that I don't even know what "reincarnation" is, how can I deal with it carefully...

He stared at Monza, who also looked at him nervously.

In Monsa's eyes, the unknown mechanical structure on Ji Li's head was constantly expanding and contracting, obviously looking at it.

This inevitably made it feel uneasy, and as time went on, this uneasiness made it more and more panicked.

After a while, Ji Li uttered two words:
"rule."

Monsa, who was constantly worried, was stunned:
"rule?"

One of the two little red eyes pursed up, as if thinking:

"Rules... rules..."

"rule?!"

Monsa stood up suddenly:

"…Is it a rule? Is it a rule…"

Then he couldn't help but take another look at Ji Li's completely weird "essence" in his eyes. His little red eyes suddenly widened, as if he had thought of something, and slammed his palm:
"Ah... yes... yes, yes..."

"Why didn't I think of that... Why didn't I think of that?! It's such a simple truth!"

Ji Li nodded approvingly, and in silence slightly relaxed the spiritual essence that was gradually being aroused:
Fooled over.

According to his experience, the rule of pretending to be a big brother is that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

You just need to speak less and those below will naturally interpret your meaning.

How can a big boss need to go to the trouble of dealing with little Karami?

They just throw a word at me and then ignore me, calling it self-realization.

However, Monsa, who was just in the midst of a storm of thoughts, suddenly rushed over, stopped in front of Ji Li, carefully picked up his palm, and shook it in a very mercenary way:
"It really dawned on me...it turns out my assumption was correct!"

Ji Li once again relaxed the spiritual essence that was secretly gathering:
Although I don’t know what you have figured out...but as long as you are satisfied, that’s good.

And Monsa was still muttering: "Whether it is the nirvana of human spirits or our reincarnation, it is all in accordance with the rules..."

“Thank you for your generosity!!”

Mengsa loosened his little black hand and summoned a bright red object to float in front of Ji Li:
"For 72 years, Monsa has never been able to become the Lord, so there is nothing special in his hand, only this..."

It was a red crystal.

When viewed from the front, it looks like a fragment of a three-dimensional symbol cast from crystal, or like a missing part of something.

"I have never been able to figure out what this thing is, and over the years, anything that I can't figure out is always something that the Lords love..."

Ji Li looked at the thing floating over. Just as he was thinking about the possible connection between the Dead Apostles and the other world, he felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand.

Curse reaction?!
