Soul Trigger

Chapter 634 Special Blood
The two women, dressed in bright orange and white cheerleader uniforms that revealed their toned abs and long legs, each holding a cup of coffee, offered it to Ji Li from either side amidst envious and jealous glances from those around them.

Anya: "Honey, you like caramel, right?"

Sally: "Pulitzer, I made you a latte myself!"

Ji Li glanced at the caramel coffee on the left, which exuded an enticing sweet aroma, while on the right was Sally's latte, topped with a beautiful bear head design. It was said that Sally's art grades were quite high.

Both of them stared at Ji Li, waiting for his choice, while there were many other intense gazes around them.

Ji Li calmly accepted both cups of coffee, poured them all into his water glass, and took a sip.
"Thank you both, it's delicious."

"The water bottle was a gift from me!"

Anya, with a victorious air, sat on Ji Li's lap, hugged him, and kissed him:
Are you still going to stand here?

Sally pouted and sat down next to Ji Li, putting her arm around him.
"At least he drank mine!"

"Sally, don't you realize you really look like a shameless bitch?"

"I was just expressing my gratitude, Anya, why are you panicking?"

Ji Li was speechless.

This scene has happened many times in the past three days.

The first day was fine, but Sally started to get worked up from the second day onwards.

Not only did she repeatedly thwart Anya's plans to secretly exercise with Ji Li at school, but she also constantly gave Ji Li gifts, brought him lunch, and gave him her own paintings—

Of course, it was also a painting of Ji Li.

The scene above shows Ji Li receiving an award from the school the next day. Sally, who is also receiving an award, is also on stage because of the bear incident.

The distinctive feature is that, apart from Ji Li's dashing appearance while accepting the award and Sally's budding romance, everyone else is depicted as various animals.

For example, Jason was drawn as a zombie football player, the surrounding spectators were gray, unmodeled crowds, and Anya in the stands was a clumsy toad.

This painting has exacerbated the conflict between the two sisters, and they are now at odds over Ji Li.

However, Ji Li wasn't going to indulge them today, since he had important business to attend to.

After putting down his water glass, he stood up and pushed Anya off him, but the two girls wouldn't let him leave.

So Ji Li picked up Anya's head and started kissing her fiercely, and while Anya looked at him with a smug and happy expression, he picked up the bewildered Sally and gave her a deep kiss that lasted for several seconds.

Then, amidst a chorus of cheers from the surrounding crowd, he left the stands, leaving two girls still in a daze.

[Cognitive Index +8]

Wiping off her lipstick, Ji Li strolled through the campus. After checking that the gravedigger on her wrist had no further activity, she switched to Jason's perspective.

At this moment, Jensen and others are in the hospital.

With no progress in the investigation, Angelica decided to end the day's investigation early and turn her attention back to the suspicious points within the school.

Because Angelica's blood-sucking urges had not been effectively curbed, in addition to getting some blood packs from the hospital, she decided to initiate a brief epidemic prevention check in the name of the hospital, drawing blood from all the students for testing.

She still suspected that there was something wrong with the blood of the students she tasted on the day of the school investigation.

She's now being tormented by the urge to drink blood and needs to find out why, otherwise she'll have to leave Red Maple Town and return to headquarters for special treatment.

This situation slightly alarmed Ji Li:

When did Angelica's unusual behavior begin?
He vaguely remembered that when the blood bear appeared to save him, the woman's spiritual energy fluctuations changed noticeably.

Given his unfamiliarity with the Anxi system and Angelica's own abilities, is it possible that Angelica's condition was triggered by his blood?
Ji Li can briefly influence the unity of spirit and body through soul tremors, but as an immortal, his blood is different from that of ordinary people.

Because the level of spiritual quality of self-immortality has begun to influence the level of life.

Ji Li didn't know if this would render the self-inflicted injury plot ineffective, causing Angelica to doubt herself again.

But since progress has stalled, could he take advantage of this and disguise himself as a rookie Awakened with some special blood to join Angelica's team?

If he were to personally cause trouble, things would probably progress faster.

However, we need to observe the details further. I'll nudge Jason in the backside and ask him to investigate for me...

In the hospital, Jason's back became hot again.
Angelica Laurent and Blood

In the past few days, Jason has begun to get used to Odin's thunderous voice.

At that moment, Sika, a member of the team, was discussing epidemic prevention checks with the dean. After glancing at Angelica, who was drinking what appeared to be blood through a straw by the door, Jason stepped forward:
"Um, Captain Laurent, how are you feeling right now?"

Angelica glanced at Jensen and smiled:
Thank you for your concern, I'm fine.

Her eyes were now red, with dark red blood vessels around them, and her sharp teeth were impossible to hide, so she was wearing sunglasses and a mask.

Facing an Awakened powerhouse, Jansen, confident in Odin's protection, cautiously inquired: "Excuse my boldness, but why is this problem occurring? Is it related to your abilities?"

Angelica, however, did not suspect anything:

"The stork within me possesses an ability called 'bloody deconstruction.' As long as I taste the blood of a living creature, I can analyze and track down a certain amount of information about it, mainly in terms of its spiritual essence."

If there is any blood that can continuously trigger my abnormal urge to drink blood after I drink it, then the owner of that blood is either a spiritually powerful individual or an ordinary person with an extremely special body.

The former can be ruled out, because the investigation within Yuk Middle School has been very thorough. As for the latter… I don't know, it might exist. That's the question I want to clarify right now.

A thought struck Jensen:
"Why don't you try biting me..."

He is Odin's favorite, so he must be that special chosen one, right?
Angelica's eyes immediately lit up with a smile:

"Of course, if you want to take off all your clothes here without a care in the world."

Jensen: ? ? ?
Angelica's sustenance originated from the collective emotions of human spirits in folklore, and was accidentally incorporated into her before it became a spirit core.

Because it is derived from the emotions embodied in folk legends, its rules are also closely tied to the content of those legends.

The price of using spiritual matter is the need to ingest fresh blood, which is divided into living blood and dead blood according to the rules. Living blood is further divided into human spirits and animal spirits.

The fundamental reason for this distinction lies in spiritual quality.

Dead blood was the blood packs she often drank, or a special beverage with added blood plasma.

Whether the dead blood comes from animals or human spirits, it lacks spiritual essence and therefore cannot bring bloody pleasure; it can only be used as a spiritual essence to satisfy the urge to drink blood.

Although the spiritual essence content of animal blood in the blood-activating system is very low, it can replenish her with extra spiritual essence and also bring her a bloody pleasure.

The downside is that it intensifies the urge to drink blood, which later requires drinking large amounts of blood to resolve, and she uses it as an emergency means to replenish her spiritual energy.

Generally speaking, the higher the intelligence of an animal, the higher its spiritual essence content, and the higher the cost and price of replenishing spiritual essence.

For example, dogs, primates, and corvids.

The reverse is also true. For example, fish and insects.

The human body's blood and energy are more complex.

It can rapidly replenish spiritual energy and provide different buffs depending on the source of the blood being bitten, and completely resolve the blood-sucking urge for a period of time.

The price is that when consuming human blood, the urge to suck blood will turn into sexual urges, and the bloody pleasure will also turn into corresponding pleasure.

When this feeling reaches its peak, she becomes completely absorbed, and if it were a man, he would likely be completely drained by her, both in terms of his semen and blood.

Therefore, Angelica would never drink living blood unless absolutely necessary, and so far, she has only done so with her mentor, Erica.

The abnormal bloodsucking impulses of strong individuals and special individuals stem from the rules summarized from their mentors, while those of special individuals originate from a special little girl.

She encountered this miraculous individual during one of her missions; he had been corrupted by the underworld but had completely regained his human form and consciousness.

Therefore, she simply laughed off Jason's words, since Jason was neither a strong person nor a miracle individual.

Of course, she wouldn't tell him all of this; she just casually mentioned the different effects of the three types of blood on her.

What she didn't say was that this urge to drink blood had been getting stronger lately, which was one of the reasons she was considering leaving Red Maple Town.

If her condition doesn't improve, she'll have to resort to drinking animal blood, which would be like drinking poison to quench her thirst and would only worsen her condition.

"A miracle individual..."

Jason was slightly disappointed; he still felt that he was a miracle individual, blessed by Odin.

But in my own school, besides special cases like mine, are there really other miraculous individuals or hidden super-strong individuals?
Upon learning of this, Ji Li opened his eyes:
Interesting... We could design something around that, since Angelica, as an official Awakened One, could conduct investigations from Ludwig's perspective.

Ji Li left the corridor, preparing to return to the arena.

But as he was going down the stairs, he bumped into a beautiful figure with red hair—

Pulitzer...?

Aiguiel was stunned by the impact, then grabbed Ji Li by the collar and slammed him against the wall with a furious expression:

"You bastard, did this?! No wonder I haven't been able to find anyone to team up with lately!!!"

Looking at his angry stepsister, Ji Li looked puzzled.

"I can not understand what you say."

"You don't understand? Fine, tell me, did you ask someone to talk to the principal and find a way to prevent me from participating in the sailing competition???"
