Soul Trigger

Chapter 98 Dispute
Time control! ?
Lao Deng was shocked.

Obviously, this ability to control time comes from Film himself.

In the eyes of Ji Li, who came from Murphy's giant structure, this ability is already amazing enough.

The experimental machine in the top laboratory of the World Tree Group back then was not something that could be made by using a spherical time machine in a science fiction story or drilling into a drawer.

The area occupied by the machines alone is enough to cover half of the Xinnan District of Aurora City. The entire base is both a laboratory and the machine itself.

It seems like this world is so good, a spirit core can solve all problems and can even be enchanted onto other things?

"The time domain... should have some limits, right?" Ji Li raised the small pistol.

Philin nodded:

"Yes, the spiritual essence consumption will be doubled, which will cause the duration of the 'burst' state to be sharply reduced."

"The size of the creation is related to your own spiritual essence after the explosion."

"But because this is an external object, the more matter is affected by your time domain, the spiritual essence consumption will increase exponentially."

That is to say, if you use too much force, the burst state may end in an instant.

Ji Li thought for a while and then said:

“But this is the power of controlling time.”

Da Lei showed an elegant smile and nodded approvingly:

"Yes, in this state, even for just a moment, I have the ability to turn the tide."

How strong is Da Lei himself if he can easily enchant something of this level? Ji Li couldn't help thinking.

No, maybe this is not something that is randomly enchanted. This energy should come from my current environment.
This is the Limbo. Judging from the huge space, it is even an independent Limbo within the Shan Street Limbo.

But even so, Da Lei's reward is drawn from her own blood. Isn't it a bit too good for me?
"To be honest, this reward is beyond my expectations."

Da Lei chuckled: "I am also very happy that you are satisfied."

Although it is called a reward, I'm afraid it is something that Ji Li can only get after he chooses to join Feilin's team.

In a sense, this thing may be more useful to Ji Li's current condition than the unlimited-use burster.

Although it can only be used twice, one is the enhanced version of "Odin" V1, and the other is directly the real god Odin, both of which are stronger than ordinary bursters.

This is enough to make Ji Li more confident in his future actions.

But he couldn't help but consider the nature of his own soul. After all, Odin V1 was only his first fully modified prosthetic body in his previous life.

At this time, Feilin clapped his hands lightly:
"Then it's time to talk about the onboarding procedures. Let's say hello to Black Box..."

Am I finally going to meet the head maid with the sweet voice?

So Ji Li turned around and was blinded by a ray of light——

An old-fashioned camera shrank out of his sight.

It was a strange creature, with a body wrapped in black cloth and scalpel-like steel legs, and its head was exactly that old camera.

At this moment, it moved intensively, retreating to a place not far in front of Ji Li, and made a sweet sound:
"Hello, Mr. Black Goat."

“…Black box?”

The head maid in white silk dress disappeared in Ji Li's mind.

But... it's not too unexpected. He twitched his lips.

Murphy's megastructure is not without similar things. In a sense, in his previous life, he could also put his brain into the spider robot.

It seems that he still underestimated this world. Judging from the appearance, the "Black Box" should be a tamed evil.

"The black box is the evil of this hell. It seems that it didn't scare you."

As Feilin spoke, he took the photos that spewed out of the old-fashioned camera in the black box, nodded with satisfaction, and showed them to Ji Li:

It was a black and white photo, showing the moment he looked back.

At this moment the photo is slowly filling up with rich colors.

Then the film and the black box took him to a photo wall inside and inserted Ji Li's photo into it.

There were two rows of photos on it, except for a few in color, the rest were in black and white.

What this implication represents is self-evident.

“They were all members of my team. Some of them have left Silla and gone to other places. Except for a few people in the local area, basically only you and I are left.”

Ji Li was very clear that Film was not affiliated with Flash Street. After all, Flash Street itself was an organization that focused on freedom and provided a platform for Reflection Walkers.

Then she took out a small piece of film from the back of the black box, which was the negative of the photo of Ji Li just now:

"Take this. When you are attacked by a fatal attack, the recorded 'you' will appear and block the attack for you."

Life-saving props, Ji Li looked at this thing which was considered a "cultural relic" in Murphy's megastructure with curiosity, and put it away solemnly:
“If I die, will the me on the wall also turn black and white?”

"Yes."

The film lightly scanned the photo of Ji Li on the photo wall, then turned around:

"So... you must cherish your life."

"No one is more afraid of death than me." said the 300-year-old Lao Deng.

This completes the onboarding procedures.

Feilin came from a secret society, but she did not reveal the specific information of the society to Ji Li.

Instead, she simply explained to Ji Li her current position in Shan Street and the general situation of the team.

In short, if she was directly affiliated with Flash Street, she should now have the same status as the decision-makers of Flash Street.

But she is not an official member of Flash Street, so she is currently just the top contact.

Ji Li completely joined her team, which meant that Ji Li would accept her protection. This situation belonged to the members of the association that relied on Shan Street.

Just like the huge platform organization of Flash Street, there are groups of different sizes among these awakened people.

On the updated Flash Street identity card, there will be an additional Filin association logo.

As for this association, it is called "Hunting Shadow House".

Similarly, this is also the name of the independent limbo of Filin. According to Filin, it was a limbo space that she personally connected to the Flashing Hotel.

What else can Ji Li say?

Before I develop in this life, my three hundred-year-old soul will hang on your lap.

Controlling time and space, instantly killing the incarnation of the master, and building space bubbles sounds like building blocks.

At least he couldn't do that when he was in Murphy's Tower.

It's not that he can do it, it's that Murphy's megastructure can't do it. Ji Li attributed this to the problem of the ability system.

Then Feilin settled the remaining remuneration and Flash Street credit for this commission with Ji Li.

After the settlement was completed, Ji Li's account had an extra one million Hong Kong dollars, and Flash Street Credit also reached the second level.

The reward part is actually secondary, because the commission that Ji Li took on was no longer the task of cooperating with local operators for 600,000 or 700,000 yuan, but an investigation of the entire Aries Academy.

During the investigation, he also settled multiple remunerations with the client, the principal. This one million was the part that Feilin specially added.

The more important part is his Flash Street credit, which means that Ji Li can unlock more advanced browsing permissions and access to the content of the Flash Street trading section.

And deeper knowledge of soul psychology.

After finishing all this, the two returned to the tea table.

"Now that you have officially joined, you can choose from two new commissions—"

"First, I will use my authority in Flash Street to issue you a jurisdiction qualification."

"On the surface, this area is under the management authority granted by Flash Street, but in reality, it will belong to you, but it will be under the name of Lieying Building."

"Then you just need to stay there and manage Aries College."

According to Filin's explanation, the so-called "jurisdiction" is somewhat similar to the meaning of "stationing" or "lord".

If a jurisdiction is designated for Ji Li, then Ji Li will have the power to manage all abnormal events in that jurisdiction, as well as the ownership of the resources of the reflection world.

But correspondingly, the lord of the jurisdiction must also be responsible for any abnormal incidents occurring within the entire jurisdiction.

This is an internal policy of Flash Street, which is actually not perfect and has many unreasonable loopholes.

However, this mechanism is intended to motivate the Flash Street Operators, but more importantly, it is to divide the Special Management Bureau's voice.

Ji Li finally understood why Shanjie, a mercenary organization on the platform, would constantly have friction with the Special Management Bureau and become like this.

The territory has already been demarcated, and the Special Management Bureau doesn't have much say. How can it not be anxious?

However, the only Special Management Bureau cops Ji Li has encountered so far are Yan Xiyu and his group, so the feeling is not obvious yet.

As for the jurisdiction that Ji Li would be given after choosing this commission, it would naturally be Aries College.

"The second is to follow the current special cooperation between Flash Street and the Special Management Bureau..."

Philin smiled slightly:
"Joined the newly established 'Special Investigation Division'."

……

After the dispute over the Red Whip Society's legacy, Shan Street and the Special Management Bureau reached a preliminary agreement with Shan Street as the main body.

This should involve the results of some high-level game-playing, after all, Film himself is involved in it.

The so-called re-cooperation means that Flash Street will send some special operators to join the newly established Special Investigation Section of the Special Management Bureau.

After joining the company, Flash Street operators become official agents of the Special Management Bureau and can enjoy a series of treatment and channels of normal agents, and can even be promoted within the Special Management Bureau.

These include the equipment and weapons of the Special Management Bureau, the official knowledge of awakeners, and naturally the spiritual circuit school that Ji Li is still longing for, and even the official school of Silla.

As for how long this cooperation will last, it was not made clear.

This was beyond Ji Li's expectations, and it did make him somewhat tempted.

Because although the situation at Aries College has not yet been figured out, it has basically stabilized.

The study of those spiritual circuits would definitely be a long and arduous process, unless he went to find a master who was proficient in spiritual circuits, but this was obviously impossible.

Regardless of whether the master can be found, the existence of the ruins itself is a secret.

Moreover, compared to Flash Street, the Special Management Bureau is a brand-new organization and channel for reflection walkers.

Joining the game under such circumstances is much better than being formally recruited to be a slave as Jin Misha mentioned before.

Because the operators transferred from Flash Street to the Special Management Bureau will have the title of "elite".

This elite is not an adjective in the Special Management Bureau, but a real professional title. Even if the rank is not high, having this title will give you certain preferential treatments.

As for the risk issue, he would be involved in the dispute between the Special Management Bureau and Flash Street, which was not a risk at all for Ji Li.

For him, as long as he lives in this world, he will inevitably be involved in disputes. It is just a matter of whether he enters the game passively or actively.

And it just so happens that after entering the Special Management Bureau, one can also access intelligence that Flash Street cannot reach from the perspective of the Special Management Bureau.

For example, the blood shuttle group that might be staring at him in the dark can be dealt with personally.

From this perspective, this commission seemed to him like a pillow for someone who was sleepy.

If there was only one thing that made him hesitate, it should be from the magic mirror.

Because these operators who went to the Special Management Bureau were all commissioned by well-known contacts.

In other words, behind these people, in addition to the interests of Flash Street, there may also be the interests of the contact persons.

But Ji Li is not fighting alone——

His new bed partner is also a well-known contact.

As for the specific content of Film's commission, he needed to go deep into this cooperation and investigate one thing.

After listening to Filin's brief account of the situation, he was lost in thought. After a moment of silence and clearing his mind, he said:

"Can I do both?"

Filin was visibly stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"can."
