Soul Trigger

Chapter 620 Remote Control of Jensen
“A long time ago, probably when Yuk High School was first established, the Ludwig family brought the Odin faith to the town and bestowed the root pendant and cat's eye pendant upon the ancestors of the Grimm family.”

The Green family kept the tree root pendant and gifted the cat's eye stone pendant to my ancestor.

As the family passed down the pendant, it gradually became a family heirloom, passing to my grandmother and finally to me.

Anya spoke with a hint of disappointment on her face.

After much searching, the clues pointed back to the Green family.

In the process of assisting Ji Li in the investigation, the Green family is constantly revealing various unknown and mysterious past events.

This made her think that there must be some ancient legend behind her family owning the cat's eye pendant.

Now, all the fantasies about possessing ancient bloodlines and being descendants of guardians of mysterious lands have been shattered—

This pendant also came from the Green family.

"Also, he seems to really dislike you..." Anya smiled shyly.

After listening to Anya recount the details of their conversation, Ji Li's expression turned strange, and he snapped the file shut in his hand.

"He said that the Ludwig family brought the Odin faith to the town?"

"Anything suspicious?"

"Of course there are. The Odin faith could not have been brought by the Ludwig family."

The crop circles in the image of the tombstone flashed through Ji Li's mind:

According to images and film recollections, the appearance of the pioneers was accompanied by crop circles.

What is the connection between the crop circles that appeared in Red Maple Town a hundred years ago and the Ludwig family?

"Does that mean... Mr. Green lied?"

Ji Li shook his head:
"Not necessarily, but we're not the ones who need to verify all of this..."

He closed his eyes, and Clement's vision reappeared before him—the scene of Jason's activities at the Green family's grand estate.

Now that the intricate connection between the Green family and the pioneers has been established, if it's inconvenient for them to investigate, then why can't it be convenient for Jason, a direct descendant of the Green family, to investigate?
"Speaking of which, what else did your grandmother leave behind?"

"They're all over at the old house."

"Then let's go to the old house first."

"Then I'll ask the supervisor for leave, using what happened this morning as an excuse..."

Ji Li suddenly remembered something:
"Oh, right."

He pulled something out of his pocket, and Anya looked at him with a puzzled expression:
"what is this?"

Ji Li: "It's for your sister to use as a breast pad."

Anya: "..."

……

At this moment, Jason was turning the storeroom upside down in his family's large estate.

The Green family are the old landowners of Red Maple Town, and now they also own the town's steel mill and mine. Their estate is quite large, with four or five rooms just for storing family historical artifacts.

Jason searched through these rooms, kicking up clouds of dust.

But it seems his search isn't going well; he's now sweating profusely and cursing as he searches.

Suddenly, an unknown force scattered a stack of dusty books, and an ancient book with a dark brown cover emerged from it.

But the irritable Jansen didn't notice this at all, which made Clementine, who was floating nearby, sigh speechlessly and knock over the antique candlestick stand next to her.

Jason cried out in surprise and, in his haste to dodge, landed hard on his bottom in the pile of books, where he happened to touch the ancient book with the brown cover.

He stood up cursing, hurled insults at the candlestick, then looked back and saw the ancient book. His eyes lit up with intense joy, and he immediately picked it up.

With a nostalgic gaze, Jason blew off the dust and opened the ancient book.

The first thing that catches the eye is the title page of "Guardians' Survival Guide".

"This is it……"

Jason clearly remembers that this was his favorite book when he was a child.

Because I loved the stories so much, I read them over and over again, and eventually put them in his fairy tale book, where they gathered dust as he grew up.

What happened that morning made him realize that the contents of this book might not be a story, but a reality, just like its title suggests.

Jason took a deep breath, held the pendant and prayed to "Odin" for a moment, then turned it over as if on a pilgrimage.

Finally, the guy noticed the book. Clementine, looking like a chosen worker, floated on Jason's head and, following Ji Li's telepathic message, looked at the contents of the ancient book.

Meanwhile, in Anya's lakeside cottage, the lake was crystal clear, a gentle breeze was blowing, and several small birds chirped and frolicked among the red maple leaves outside the window.

Ji Li sat at the desk by the window, closing his eyes to view the shared view of Clementine.

Anya sat cross-legged in the corner amidst a large pile of books and notes, looking utterly bored.

"Has Jason made any progress?"

"Have."

Ji Li's words were concise and to the point:

"He found an ancient book that exhibited spiritual properties."

Anya's eyes lit up, and she stood up and twisted her neck:
"...Finally, I told you that guy was all muscle and not suited for doing investigations; he took way too long."

“If it weren’t for my servant’s help, he might still be rolling in the dust.”

Anya chuckled.

On the way here, Anya learned about Ji Li's plan, but he didn't explicitly say what the "servant" monitoring Jason was.

Although his family is relatively wealthy, Jason is just a simple-minded sports student who is quite good at soccer. Without some help, it would be impossible to get him to do this kind of survey.

So Ji Li remotely directed Clementine to help find the suspicious item first, and then guided Jason to discover it, which was much more efficient.

Anya was quite excited about this, seemingly enjoying the feeling of controlling everything from behind the scenes, and helped Ji Li name the plan "Remote Control of Jason".

However, after sitting in the old house for two hours, and with school almost letting out, Jason finally made some progress.

"But it seems like this guy is planning to spend the whole afternoon flipping through things...?"

In Clementine's view, Jason was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly turning the pages of a book like a primary school student reading a textbook, taking a long time to read a single page.

“…I remember he wasn’t very good at reading,” Anya said, propping her chin on her hand.

"I bet he's planning to have the maid bring some wine and snacks, and then slowly study it with his childcare-level reading skills..."

Ji Li opened his eyes, speechless: "He's already doing that..."

In the video, Jason not only ordered some snacks but also turned on the fireplace on the wall to keep warm.

Ji Li didn't have time to let him do that, and decisively had Clementine blow a breath on the book.

Suddenly, Jason started flipping through the pages of the book in his hand, which startled him.

The final page is the one where Clementine's spiritual response was most intense:

"Prayers and rituals marked with the World Tree".

But Jason's eyes were blank, then filled with terror as he looked around—

"The movement is too big, let's hide first."

Clementine immediately hid inside a horn on the wall, a symbol of Norse faith. The rules of his ability also caused a certain change in the environment, making the lights in the room flicker.

However, Ji Li clearly overestimated Jensen's vigilance.

He didn't consider any other possibilities at all. He immediately knelt down, interpreting these strange phenomena as guidance from the gods, and began to loudly praise Odin, leaving Ji Li speechless.

As Ji Li recounted the story, Anya laughed so hard she almost fell over, rolling around on the bed.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Li drew a temporary spiritual circuit on the wall so that Anya could also see the current state of Jason:
"My God, your servants can fly? Are they fairies?"

"It's a great elf."

Ji Li glanced at Anya's chest.

On Jansen's side, the contents he held contained a record of how to pray to Odin for power and the rituals involved, and there was also a small yellow slip of paper tucked inside:
"Maple Leaf Manor's library... the secret altar... My God, why did Father never tell me these things?!"

Jason stood up excitedly:

"The secret altar is in my family's library. As long as you possess the 'World Tree Mark,' you can exchange it for Odin's power..."

His eyes were fixed intently on the note:

"If I can obtain Odin's power, I can prove to Anya that what I said is true... Pulitzer is no match for me at all."

What is a mere brown bear compared to the mighty Odin? Anya will surely change her mind!

Ji Li glanced at Anya, who looked speechless.

"...Does he really intend to use his extraordinary powers for jealousy and rivalry?"
