I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 107 106. Treat it as a test
All in all, there is a lot of information in Jenkins' story, but there are also a lot of doubts.

For example, why would the other party let him go?Or is that indescribable thing in the coffin still alive?

And, if that was also a transcendent person with a [distorted] system, how did he complete his promotion despite a series of suicidal requirements?

And finally, why was such a big event, with so many people dead and so many going crazy, forgotten?Who destroyed the relevant written records?
Lloyd is very curious about these questions, but I am afraid that even Jenkins himself does not know the answers.

And he has no way to find the answer. The ruins have been occupied by monsters and there should be no way back.

But then again, why were there no monsters in that place before?Or even allow them to conduct year-long archaeological digs?

Didn't the monster find it?Or... what are they afraid of?
After thinking about it in his mind, Lloyd turned his attention to the future seminar.

Seeing that the Supreme One had no reaction to these stories, the four people moved on to the next topic and began to discuss matters related to spiritual improvement.

But after listening for a while, Lloyd discovered that there were only two words written between the lines:
no money...

After Jenkins was promoted to the fifth level, due to some marital and emotional problems, he was forced to set up his own business and established a small-scale folk archaeological association. Although the procedures were complete and legal, it had little popularity and was very short of money.

Moreover, his mentality is completely broken, and he is not very enthusiastic about improving his strength. The current 'Future of Humanity Seminar' is probably the only motivation for him to persist on the path of transcendence, right?
Anyway, Lloyd felt that he didn't look like a powerful person in a high position, but more like a frustrated loser.

Maybe it's because he was promoted to the fifth level too late?My body and appearance are already old, but my life is still very long. This is really torture...

As for Goldron, he is involved in a semi-official investigation team in the City of Order. He is an investigator responsible for handling various abnormal events. He does not have a high income and does not have many things to do, so he is particularly short of money. It's painfully stuck.

But in his heart, he still looks forward to reaching a high position, at least not to waste this enviable talent.

Then there is Valdez, who is more talented and smarter, but is bothered by chores and mundane affairs. He often needs to deal with the troubles that he calls "mediocre people". He doesn't make much money and wastes a lot of it. time.

But his ambitions are still very lofty. Not only does he want to reach a high position, but he is also determined to carry forward the ancestral workshop. Therefore, he is more concerned about matters related to the great development and believes that he should actively participate.

In the end, Elolo gave Lloyd the impression that apart from being afraid of death, he was carefree and had no ambitions and interests. He lived a very relaxed life. If he hadn't been tricked into the seminar by Jenkins, Maybe she's just a cute, innocent and romantic girl, right?
But she seems to have made great achievements in engineering?Of course, it may be that her father has made great achievements. Anyway, Valdez once asked her to customize a set of engineering equipment for the workshop. In the end, under the witness of Lloyd, the transaction went south...

In short, the people in the 'Future of Humanity Seminar' are all folk experts who have some talent and some strength, but have various ambitions. That's why they accept Jenkins's overly radical ideas and even believe in this world. There really is a [Supreme One].

"Then how should I play the role of the 'Supreme One'? It's not enough to keep silent and pretend to be an expert, but I don't even know what the Supreme One is?"

Lloyd scratched his head, but then he thought, since they would have mistaken him, there is a high probability that they don't know what the Supreme One looks like.

So he recalled in his mind the behavior of those big guys in his impression.

Not only the presiding judge and the butler, but also the powerful bosses of various cultural and creative works on the earth. See if you can cosplay?
First, let’s start with the way we speak…

Am I going to go against the grain this time?

This doesn't seem to work...

I have been doing what I have done all my life, why do I need to explain it to you?
Forget it, forget it, I really need a beating...

Is my pain still greater than yours?
This is quite twisted, but the style of painting is not quite right...

Lloyd was thinking wildly when he heard Valdez say:

"A friend of mine recommended a stock to me, saying it had great potential for growth. He suggested that I use my savings to follow up, but I don't understand the principles and gameplay of the stock market at all. Do you have any suggestions?"

After hearing this, Ai Luoluo quickly advised:

"Eh? If you don't understand anything, isn't it equivalent to gambling? This is not good, don't gamble!"

Lloyd was stunned for a moment. The word 'gambling' reminded him of the place he had been to today, and he sent a barrage:
"Have you ever heard of 'Dream Theater'?"

The four people on the chessboard immediately fell silent, and then looked at each other for a while.

After a few seconds, Jenkins answered:

"Honorable Sir, I have heard of that place before, but I don't know much about it. I only know that it is very mysterious. It seems to be an out-of-this-world place? It is not bound by the legal rules of the world and has countless people dreaming about it?"

After saying that, he waited for a few seconds, and then saw a line of words floating in front of his eyes:

"That's a special space that exists based on the 'ancient relics' that You mentioned. It's a somewhat interesting place."

This... is actually related to ancient relics?
Jenkins suddenly became interested, which touched his professional nerve.

He immediately speculated in his mind about the intentions of the Supreme Being. Why did he specifically mention this place?

Does he have some kind of connection there?Or is He interested there?Want to learn more with us?

Jenkins weighed it in his mind, chose the most conservative guess, and then answered truthfully:

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty, but that's all I know about it."

Then he looked at the reactions of the other three people, and they all looked like they were listening attentively?

Obviously they don't know either...

Lloyd was also observing their reactions and confirmed that the 'Dream Theater' was really a mysterious place. No wonder the club would offer various high-priced commissions.

So he thought about it, chose a template that was best to imitate, and posted a barrage:
"You can go and have a look." "Well... we don't know how to get in?"

Jenkins asked helplessly.

As a result, Lloyd stopped talking.

He chose the 'Riddler' template, which meant he only spoke half of his words to make himself appear inscrutable.

"It seems that His Holiness wants us to find our own way in, right?"

Goldron helped pick up the conversation.

"It should be, maybe this is a test for us by His Holiness."

Jenkins nodded, then turned to look at Valdez.

The remaining two people also looked over in unison.

"No...why are you all looking at me? Do you think there is a way for me to get in?"

Valdes asked, dumbfounded.

"Because you are the most well-connected among us."

Jenkins replied.

"You really dare to say that? You are obviously the strongest fifth level among us, right?"

"Level [-]? Haha, I'm just a bad old man who wants to die but can't die in a short time."

The two were talking, and Ai Luoluo, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke:

"Well... let me go back and ask my dad? He has quite a few friends."

"Well, I will also ask the people in the investigation team. They may also know."

Goldron also said.

Seeing that everyone else said this, Valdes couldn't shirk it, and immediately said impatiently that he would ask those mediocre people.

When Jenkins saw this, he couldn't help but smile.

In so many years since the seminar was established, this was the first time he felt such an atmosphere of collective effort.

Before, everyone just got together to chat, there were no team-building activities, and conflicts and quarrels broke out at every turn.

Even the widow of Black Knight Stillot has no spare time to take care of her...

It was the arrival of this 'audience' that started to change the seminar.

So he also spoke:
"Of course, I will also ask my old friends. Let's take this as a test for us by His Holiness."

........................

After deciding to investigate the 'Dream Theater' together, tonight's seminar has come to an end. The four people on the chessboard said goodbye to the 'audience' next to them one by one, shouting 'Honorable' one by one.

Instead of feeling elated, Lloyd felt panicked.

The feeling of being forced to cosplay as a boss is really uncomfortable...

Especially for an honest young man like me, who has always been down-to-earth, those calls of 'Sir' made others numb.

But what can be done?I chose the character myself, and I could only cosplay it with tears in my eyes.

But if you think about it on the bright side, it would be a good thing if these people could sneak into the 'Dream Theater'.

After that, everyone can exchange information, deepen their understanding of that place, and make full use of the resources there.

In this process, everyone can also enhance mutual trust and establish a basis for cooperation.

Of course, the premise is that they can sneak in smoothly and come out alive.

Lloyd is quite confident about this:

"This shouldn't be difficult, right? After all, they are all fourth-level and fifth-level ones. They are stronger than me. I don't have any pressure. They should be able to do well, right? Of course...except for the white bishop..."

"I hope everyone will work hard, for their own future and for the future of mankind."

Lloyd had a vague feeling that the weird and unpopular gadgets needed by the [Distortion] system would be difficult to buy with money, and the channels at the 'Dream Theater' were very important.

But not everything is available there. Maybe there are some more unpopular things, so you have to find a way on your own.

In short, information and channels, attributes and capabilities must be of the same weight.
