Soul Trigger

Chapter 364: Shan Street's Attitude
The Lord of Darkness had previously sent him a threatening letter proposing a marriage alliance, but there had been no further news since then, and there hadn't been any special information from Qin recently.

"Ah? Isn't Flash Street helping you deal with the Lightless Ones?" Che Canhao was a little confused:

"The news came an hour ago that Shanjie raided the secret gathering of the Lightless and killed the leading Chosen One. Only Cui Zhechen of the Silver Pool Group and his defeated troops attempted to flee to Dieshan City..."

Ji Li took out the Special Management Bureau's cell phone and saw a large number of messages sent from the Special Management Bureau an hour and a half ago, but there was no direct call, which meant that it was not urgent information.

Flash Street suddenly took the initiative to follow up on the affairs of the Lightless Ones, which was completely inconsistent with their usual style.

Or is this the "little surprise" that Crazy Grandma mentioned? Ji Li pondered.

As he was busy with the "potted plants" last night, he didn't get much sleep.

However, due to the degree of unity of soul and body of the Peak Overlord, his sleep time and quality have been greatly improved.

Not to mention the various small arrangements that Black Box made at home to assist in rest, so you don’t need to sleep for long to stay energetic:
"I see. How's the situation with Cheli lately?"

Che Canhao sighed:
"I was just about to tell you this... My sister's awakened spiritual core ability was somewhat shocking, so Old Man Park took it very seriously and sent her to North America for examination without saying a word."

"Didn't I tell you before that she had some matters to attend to at home because of her awakening? I only recently found out that she actually went to the Kaiton Federation, and it will take some time for her to come back."

Before, Che Li became an awakener in the Predator incident and was recalled to the capital by Gaoxing Group. Ji Li naturally knew about this.

Che Canhao continued, "Now Old Park praises her like nothing and has the other elder brothers in the family following him around to protect her. Even the second oldest brother has fallen out of favor."

To put it simply, Kurari's ability is to copy the spiritual core abilities of others, and then release them in combination with her own characteristics. Compared to the original owner of the copy, the details and characteristics will be different.

Previously during the Predator incident, she had successfully copied Cha Chan-ho’s “Digital Detection” and Ji Li’s old ability “Black Ice”.

It is naturally a good thing that she is now valued within the Gaoxing Group, but this will also involve her in the fierce interest struggle within the Gaoxing Group.

"I know, who do you think she is working so hard for..." Che Canhao's voice was a little resentful.

"Don't worry, I have some connections in the Kaiton Federation who can help me keep an eye on it. Sister Ziying is also going with them."

Ji Li didn't say any more pleasantries. He said goodbye and hung up the phone.

This was the little girl's own choice, so he naturally wouldn't interfere.

And in this world where supernatural anomalies exist, it is good for people like her who are born into a chaebol family to have the power to protect themselves.

But that naturally also means that she has to take the risks herself. The risks and setbacks will become greater and greater, but they will also become her whetstone, making her stronger and allowing her to stand at a higher position and enjoy a more beautiful view.

After a little thought, Ji Li decided not to be so ruthless after all and sent a simple greeting to Che Li on his private social platform.

After browsing the various information sent from the bureau, it turned out to be basically the same as what Che Canhao said, and there were also many details that outsiders did not know.

For example, among the high-ranking members of Flash Street who led the team to wipe out the Lightless, in addition to the outsider bandaged girl Jiefei Motali, there was also the sword-wielding guy and Jean.

He simply called Qin and tried to find out what the Flash Street Blood Covenant Hermits meant.

But this guy didn't answer the phone, he seemed to be busy, and just sent Ji Li a text message:
[We will meet with you soon for a recent cooperation. 】

Ji Li and Qin's apparent relationship is that they are partners in the wine industry. Qin's reply indicates that she is currently under some kind of surveillance, which is very different from her previous relaxed and carefree style.

Considering the recent events and Crazy Woman's little surprise, Ji Li always had the illusion that the Lord of Darkness was "stressed" -

Is this lunatic really going to beat up the Lord of Darkness?

If Shanjie's attitude has indeed undergone a major change, he should not only cooperate with Ji Li on the matter of the Lightless One, but also cooperate with Ji Li very proactively and send out friendly signals.

Then
What Qin meant by this sentence is: "Shanjie will contact you again soon."

"Then I'll look forward to it..." After checking the time, Ji Li put down his phone and drew open the bedroom curtains. Seeing the bunny girl sleeping with her legs spread out and drooling, he slapped her lightly.

The latter scratched her butt, turned over and continued to sleep with the quilt in her arms. Ji Li rolled her eyes, and after giving Hei Xi a few instructions, she was too lazy to chase her away.

After returning to the Special Management Bureau, Ji Li briefly listened to Jasmine's report on the current progress of the search for traces of the Tower of Babel.

The traces left by the dead apostle remain, and the search will be completed in three days at most.

It just so happens that Ji Li can take care of the potted plants.

He went to the archives room and found the previous files of the Red Whip Society, focusing on the content related to "Soul Eaters", intending to find information about the Gate of Flesh and Blood and Henson.

These top-secret contents were buried with the death of the leader of the Red Whip Society, although Ji Li now knows that there are Predators behind them, and that the Predators are related to the Tower of Babel.

But the Special Management Bureau has also received a lot of information, and there is a high possibility that there are clues among them.

A string of text messages between the leader of the Red Whip Society and the Spirit Eater caught his attention.

Among them, the Soul Eater mentioned "companion abnormal creatures" and "guardians" and asked for help from the leader of the Red Whip Society.

The companion abnormal creature can correspond to "Henson", and the "Guardian" can correspond to the stone statues that Ji Li killed when he first entered the ruins of the Gate of Flesh and Blood.

At the end of the message, the leader of the Red Whip Society rejected the Soul Eater's request for help, saying that he was being closely investigated by the Special Management Bureau and could not be free, and the matter was left unresolved.

Now it seems that the Soul Eater must have found another way to successfully control Henson.

Just when Ji Li was rummaging through boxes and drawers looking for information, the clerk temporarily assigned to his office called to inform him that someone from Shan Street came to visit.

"Three people came without an appointment, saying they were..."

The clerk lowered his voice slightly. "They also brought gifts. The Attorney General is currently in contact with them. The leader calls himself 'Anado'."

Oh, the one with the sword?
Ji Li grinned.

Arriving at the director's office, Ji Li saw Anado commenting on the swords mounted on the wall as soon as he entered the room. Next to him sat Chief Prosecutor Jiang Zhenhe, who was drinking tea with a calm expression.

Those swords were left by Han Xiaofu's previous director to show off his taste. Han Xiaofu didn't like them and just kept them as decorations. Ji Li didn't make any changes to them and they have been hanging there ever since.

Seeing Anado commenting on the matter, Ji Li came in and spoke directly:
"Are you here to ask for my advice again today?"

Anato's body froze, and he turned around when Jiang Zhenhe stood up to greet him, and pulled his face towards Ji Li who was wearing a mask:
"How are you, Black Goat... Director General."

Ji Li walked to his desk and sat down, put his legs on the table, took a sip of the wine that the clerk next to him had poured for him:
"If you want to teach me, why are you here? There is a better training room in the Special Management Bureau."

Anato's expression twitched for a moment, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Ji Li's previous cannon swordsmanship, but he still said:
"...I bring the goodwill of the Lord of Darkness."

Then he pulled out a stack of documents from his clothes like a magic trick and glanced at the Attorney General next to him:

"I know the rules of your Special Management Bureau. These are cooperation agreements with formal procedures. Aurora City Flash Street... hopes to form a formal alliance with the local Special Management Bureau. The gifts have been given to the people here."

Ji Li nodded and looked at the Attorney General.

The latter took the documents and scanned them with his spirit essence:
"Although these are just superficial terms of the process, but..."

He glanced at Anado in surprise:

“It’s very reasonable and has many concessions.”
