Soul Trigger

Chapter 629 Acting
The boy named Pulitzer had completely lost consciousness, and Sally was frantically trying to stop his bleeding.

Angelica quickly pushed her away, grasped Ji Li's wound, tore off her own suit skirt, and gave Ji Li a professional bandage.

But beneath that fabric, Ji Li's blood miraculously stopped, and even flowed back into his body.

The one who used this technique was naturally Angelica.

It was through complete contact with and control of his blood that Angelica became absolutely certain that Pulitzer in her hands was indeed just an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Angelica's gaze softened. She had witnessed Ji Li's actions earlier and there was no doubt that he was a brave child.

He immediately patted Ji Li's head, and just as he was about to pull away, his heart suddenly started pounding wildly.

Her pupils contracted sharply, and she snapped her mouth shut, for fangs were already sprouting there—

Damn it, this bloodlust, why now...?

She looked at Ji Li on the ground, especially his neck, which looked increasingly delicious and tempting.

Angelica could only shake her head abruptly, quickly instruct Sally to go find someone to help her, and then stumbled to her feet.

Now that the objective has been achieved, we must resolve the issue of the rules governing the styes in her body as soon as possible.

Although the process was somewhat bumpy, thankfully no innocent people were harmed. We just need to find a way to get Pulitzer back to health quickly...

At that moment, Jason looked at his hands, clenched them tightly, threw his head back, and burst into wild laughter:
It's approved... Odin has approved of me!!!
He lowered his hands, unable to hide his excitement—

Just now, seeing that he couldn't budge the bear at all, he decided to take a gamble and quickly decipher Odin's runes to see if they truly contained powerful energy, as the legends said.

Although he only obtained the above information after the interpretation, he did not sense any special power entering his body.

But now everything is explained: Odin is looking after him; he is the chosen one!
but……

Jason suddenly calmed down and fixed his gaze on Aquil, who was also looking at him.

The latter pinched his hand to the corner of his mouth, then pulled it to the other side. Jason immediately understood and nodded to Aquile.

It's a secret, you know.

But... is Aquile also someone with magical powers? In fact, it seems she should have obtained these powers long ago, and is more familiar with them than I am.

Jason thought he was the only person in town with special powers, and his gaze toward Aquil became somewhat more cautious.

Beware of your own kind, especially those that are hiding!

Beside him, Clementine was looking at him with an expression as if he were mentally challenged:
This idiot... does he really think he did it himself?

She sighed and shook her head helplessly.

After confirming with Aquile, Jason thought of Anya, only to see her rushing towards Ji Li, and his face immediately fell.

But to be honest, Pulitzer did a really good job just now. He's definitely a man. Maybe I should change my opinion of him, provided he doesn't try to steal Anya from me.

He glanced at Ji Li, who was lying on the ground seemingly unconscious, with one hand being held by Sally, and gave a soft snort:
Perfect, Sally is yours, Anya is mine.

As for now, it's no problem to let the two sisters take care of you, since only the injured need care...

He turned his head to look at the spoils of war he had killed, but then froze on the spot as if he had seen something.

On the other side, Anya slid to Ji Li's side and grabbed his other hand:

"Pulitzer, are you alright? Pulitzer?! Pulitzer..."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt her palm being squeezed twice.

To be honest, when Ji Li was bitten by the bear and bled profusely, it really startled her. She thought the bear was such a powerful creature.

Her understanding of the spiritual world was limited to what Ji Li had shown her and what he had told her. So Anya didn't really know what the bear was all about. She was only somewhat skeptical of Ji Li, but now she was relieved.

So, he's acting now?

Looking at Ji Li's face and seeing Sally's heartbroken expression, and recalling the reactions of the others and the seemingly perilous scene just now, Anya suddenly couldn't hold back anymore:
What a liar!
Everyone was kept in the dark, except for her and Ji Li!
Besides, what surprised her was Aquile. She hadn't expected that Aquile also possessed special powers that had never been discovered before.

However, Aquile did not participate in the jungle party, and it appears that Jason was the one who ultimately killed the bear, meaning that Angelica will eventually focus her attention on Jason.

In this way, both Ji Li and she were cleared of suspicion!

Thinking of this, Anya chuckled and grabbed Ji Li's arm, then sensed a sharp gaze—

It's Sally.

She stared coldly at Anya, while also holding onto Ji Li's arm:
"What are you laughing at?" Anya was about to retort instinctively when she saw Sally's expression and her similarly clinging to Ji Li's arm. She then turned sharply to Ji Li, who was feigning unconsciousness with a serene expression.
Damn it, Sally got fooled too!
At this moment, recalling the scene of Ji Li "heroically" taking a bullet for Sally, the scene of Sally grabbing a baseball bat to save Ji Li, and the various actions of her desperately trying to drag Ji Li away, her pupils dilated in shock—

You two shouldn't get involved together!
While the girl's thoughts were swirling, she didn't notice that Sally's gaze towards her had changed.

Or rather, it's not about looking into her eyes, but rather at the eyes behind her:

"...Anya, the bear...?"

Anya snapped out of her daze:

"……Bear?"

The arena suddenly became unusually quiet, and both Equiel and Jensen froze in place.

Anya turned around and saw only a large pool of blood; the giant bear had vanished without a trace.

……

Outside the ward, two blonde sisters with similar appearances but different hair lengths are facing off.

"Sally, your current condition doesn't seem like the best time for visiting people."

Sally Foster was using crutches, and her ankles and wrists were wrapped in bandages.

"Anya, why aren't you at the celebration party? What are you doing here? Don't you hate the smell of disinfectant the most?"

“Pulitzer is injured, so of course I have to be here. What are you doing here?”

"Can't I... I come here to thank him?"

"Okay, I've received it for him. You can go back now."

Sally's face immediately showed a hint of anxiety:
"Anya, you can't do this! He was injured because of me, I have the right to go see him!"

"Can't we wait until he recovers before coming?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Aigui'er, who was peeling a banana for Ji Li, looked displeased.

"You're quite popular, aren't you... look."

Ji Li raised his hand, which was receiving an IV drip:

"My dear sister, I don't have hands now."

Aiguiel rolled her eyes and shoved the banana toward Ji Li's mouth:
"eat."

"Thank you, it would be even better if you could hold it a little further away..."

Aigui'er simply ripped off the banana peel, leaving only the banana flesh in Ji Li's mouth, and walked away without looking back.
"I'm just here to see if you're dead or not. Don't expect me to serve you!"

Ji Li bit off the banana:

"Schools are closed, where are you going?"

"Get ready for the sailing race!"

As Aquil reached the door, she interrupted the blonde sisters' argument over a man, muttered "They have no taste," and left.

Then Ji Li's voice came from inside the ward:

"Anya, come in here for a moment!"

Anya and Sally looked at each other, and after a few breaths, they squeezed in together.

Suddenly, the cane slammed to the ground. In her panic, Sally grabbed Anya's hair, but her foot still instinctively planted itself on the ground—

"what?"

She twisted her ankle, but it didn't seem to hurt.

Anya, whose hair was being pulled, also witnessed this scene:
"Did Ms. Laurent just go to your room?"

Sally nodded subconsciously, and Anya immediately felt reassured and boldly gave her a push:
"Don't block me!"

But Sally was faster now that her foot didn't hurt. She's the captain of the cheerleading squad, and you're the vice-captain, so it's reasonable for the captain to be slower than the vice-captain, right?
Then, in a flash, she rushed to Ji Li's hospital room and grabbed his hand:

"Pulitzer, I'm sorry! How are you feeling now?"
