Soul Trigger

Chapter 600 The Realm of Restorative Materials

They had reincarnated many times before, but had never seen this person before.

Moreover, judging from his language and posture, regardless of his physical appearance, he was clearly a human being, at least more human than those grotesque corpses.

The only answer is that he came from outside.

As for his strangeness and his terrifying fighting power just now, he's already died several times and gone through his stupidity, so what else can't he accept?

Moreover, they provided supplies, including food and medical supplies.

Suddenly, hope ignited in the eyes of the group, and they began to chatter amongst themselves:
"Are you here to rescue us?!"

"How did you get in? Do you remember the way you came in?"

"How did you use that move just now? Are you even human?"

The group suddenly turned into a chaotic market. Ji Li straightened his collar and looked up to meet two wary gazes.

One was the nun, and the other was the blonde girl.

He snapped his fingers casually.

In an instant, a surge of spiritual pressure erupted, and the group of people were all slammed to the ground with a thud as they cried out in alarm.

The nun tried to resist, but her spiritual essence shattered instantly. She couldn't hold on for even a moment before spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes were filled with shock as she looked at Ji Li.
"dominate?!"

The blonde girl struggled desperately.

As someone who almost always survives to the end, she didn't show the same excitement as others when she saw Ji Li; instead, she felt it wasn't a good thing.

Because things were gradually deviating from her expectations.

But she found that not only could she not move, she also began to have difficulty breathing, her mind became sluggish, her whole body trembled as if in a rejection reaction, and her joints creaked.

The same was true for everyone else around them.

The spiritual pressure of an immortal is enough to crush an ordinary person into dust instantly, so Ji Li was actually being very gentle.

Seeing Ji Li walking towards them, they immediately began to tremble wildly like a group of white mice being crushed by an invisible weight.

Especially since the blonde Anya was lying on Ji Li's path, which made the brown-haired youth's face turn bright red:

"Don't... touch... Anya! If you've got the guts... come at me!"

Ji Li ignored him completely, as well as the blond man named Anya, and instead stopped in front of the nun under everyone's gaze:
"Looks like you're not as naive as I thought, even though you're a newbie."

Those around them didn't understand what Ji Li and the nun were talking about, but Anya, who was struggling against the heavy weight on her body, felt a tremor in her eyes:
Did he know the nun had a secret?

A group of people died here so many times, so of course there were bound to be internal conflicts among them.

On several occasions during these conflicts, Anya noticed that this nun was unusual. Compared to others, this person had a strange calmness, even though Anya had witnessed the nun die in front of her.

But that didn't stop her from noticing something strange about the nun. This bird-beaked masked person... clearly knew something.
Ji Li had already lifted the nun up, and the latter stared at him with terrified eyes—

This kind of power, this level of spiritual pressure, can only belong to a ruler.

But how could such an ordinary small town produce a ruler like the teacher?! Could it be...?

Before the nun could come up with a solution, Ji Li looked around at everyone:

"I am the owner of this place. You bunch of trespassers are asking me who I am?"

The nun's pupils contracted, and her whole body trembled:
"What?!"

Anya was also stunned, incredulous.

As for the others, they were all shivering in pain, especially the two injured ones, who had no time to pay attention to what Ji Li was saying.

"Or rather... the successor? Well, you can just think of it that way."

Seeing the nun's reaction, Ji Li casually tossed her aside and released his control over his spiritual pressure.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just received a long-awaited rain. Some clutched their chests, while others braced themselves on the ground, gasping for air.

Then, he shakily twisted himself up from the ground, and as they looked at each other in disbelief, they could see the fear in their companions' eyes.

Successor here?

This place is teeming with monsters and has a strange cycle of reincarnation. What kind of person could be the master of this place? And what kind of person would inherit it?

Instantly, the scene of Ji Li tearing the monster apart and the snap of his fingers flashed back into everyone's minds.

Especially Anya, as the one who has lived the longest, knows better than anyone else just how bizarre this place is. This means that the person in front of her is an even more bizarre being than this place itself...

In the face of overwhelming fear, no one dared to speak.

What a bunch of cowardly little mice… Ji Li frowned slightly and added:
"You're lucky to have met me. Tell me more details, and I can take you out."

But after what just happened, no one dared to speak casually anymore.

Anya hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand:
"Excuse me, sir... may I ask you a question?"

Ji Li turned to look at the blonde woman:

"speak."

Seeing that Ji Li's attitude was calm, she mustered up her courage and continued to ask:

"You are the...master, or rather, the successor here, so why don't you know the situation here?"

"Because the situation here is different from what I reported. Are there any other questions?" Of course!
For example, what are you? What was your superpower just now? And what's the deal between you and that nun?

Of course, more than anything, she simply didn't know whether she could truly trust this monstrous man in front of her.

If everything that happened here was like a bloody and terrifying joke, would it really be a good choice to entrust one's life to this even more terrifying man?
Anya was naturally full of questions, but looking at Ji Li covered in blood, the question she had just asked had exhausted all her courage, and she dared not say anything more.
"No...no more."

"Very well, then who can answer my question?"

Everyone except the nun looked at Anya again.

No one dared to speak to Ji Li, fearing that they might accidentally anger him and end up being inexplicably pinned to the ground, just like they had just been.

No one wants to experience that suffocating feeling again.

Seeing this, Anya could only curse inwardly, sigh helplessly, and take two steps forward like Jesus on his crucifixion:
A bunch of idiots...

Based on her previous experience, she silently calculated the time in her mind, as if she were planning something:
"...Let me explain."

As Ji Li listened to Anya's fragmented narration, he also observed the blonde girl with great interest.

Perhaps because of what they called a "reset," the girl's makeup looked very new.

With her sapphire blue eyes and long eyelashes, she possesses the figure and looks of a supermodel, embodying the most blossoming years of a European woman's life. Her style is rebellious and sexy beyond her years, suggesting she would be very popular in her social circle.

She's the kind of leading lady that directors of classic gore horror movies would love to have, sexy yet with a touch of youthful naiveté.

The experience of being tortured by Yuya Xun in the Black Sun Mansion for several weeks has made Ji Li temporarily more easily attracted to women, and has also allowed him to initially form a psychological profile of this girl—

There is nothing special about it.

This puzzled him somewhat. Although he could see the distrust and some ulterior motives in the other person's eyes, that was all.

How come people here treat such a pretty but useless woman like a leader?
Of course, the one inside who thought she was exceptionally special was an exception. Ji Li glanced at the restless nun.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Anya's narration was fragmented and disjointed, but it did not hinder Ji Li from receiving the information.

In short, this is a maze, and it resets when everyone dies. They have already figured out some clues through their previous dozen or so deaths.

The entire maze was divided into three parts: the starting point, the middle section, and the deepest part, using specific iron gates as nodes that represented their progress.

The labyrinth is filled with all sorts of monsters (evil derivatives) that will hunt them down, and it is also full of malicious traps.

These monsters will regenerate with their own rebirth and reappear at the same point in time as in the previous cycle to hunt them down.

It is precisely because of this rule that these ordinary people are able to explore as far as the center of this maze.

However, the difficulty and the maze will change to some extent with each death, with the changes being the most drastic in the previous cycle.

This time, almost all previous experiences were overturned. Monsters appeared in large numbers ahead of schedule, and the terrain changed. It is unknown whether this was due to Ji Li's arrival.

"maze……"

After Anya finished speaking, Ji Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly pulled out his cane and struck the ground.

Many people were startled by this, and then they saw the ground rapidly cracking open towards the wall, and the entire wall surface burst open.

The enormous impact continued to propel the wall deeper, causing repeated explosions.

As the smoke cleared, a group of people stared in disbelief at the massive hole in the wall that had almost torn open the entire hall, their gazes trembling as they turned to Ji Li—

superman.

This is absolutely superhuman.

Both the bald man and the short-haired woman looked excited, which meant that if they clung to each other's legs, they would have a chance to escape.

But the nun's eyes darkened, and she became increasingly agitated.

Anya, standing still, also felt a sense of unease in her eyes. The power and unbridled nature of the mask only made her more uneasy.

This is because it means that the other party can arbitrarily control their life and death, which is not a good sign in this kind of place!

Ji Li ignored what these people were thinking and writing. He saw that behind the wall was not another part of the maze, but more walls.

It's like an infinite number of walls stacked on top of each other, blocking everything behind them, and yet it's automatically repairing itself like a living organism.

Have you tried to break down the wall before?

Anya suddenly snapped back to reality and met Ji Li's mask.

Even as she grew increasingly distrustful of the masked man, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth:
"We also found explosives at another location and tried to blow up some obstacles."

But neither the walls nor the iron gates seemed to be able to be destroyed by anyone other than those monsters…

Ji Li understood:

Part of the rules.

The labyrinth we are currently in is a semi-spiritual prison territory, and the creation of territories generally occurs in two ways:

1: Territories generated by lords.

2: Territory where pacifics are generated.

Just as a lord like Ludwig could enforce laws in his own territory, in the territory of the burial objects, various forms and contents of "laws" often emerge due to the abilities and characteristics of the burial objects themselves, much like the rule-based Limbo.
