I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 171 170. Can’t escape
Knight Commander Wald quickly ran to the Holy Court's station with Lloyd.

This place also looks very simple, still at the level of a work shed, making it difficult for people to associate it with the notorious Holy Grace Courtyard.

As soon as he got close, Walder found a hunter and said eagerly:
"Tell your people to withdraw quickly! Where is your chief judge?"

"What happened? What happened?"

"Stop asking! Go!"

Soon, a group of people wearing various masks emerged from the work shed. They looked like evil forces were at work, and it was quite scary...

Then another hunter wearing a frog-face mask came to the knight commander and Lloyd and asked:
"Ward, what happened?"

The Knight Commander then told Lloyd's previous findings and the possible dangers that might arise next.

Lloyd also added a few details, especially the scene where Geras holds the statue of the saint and prays.

The frog-faced presiding judge obviously knew the situation and the power of the [Forgetting] system. He immediately showed a very serious attitude. While arranging his subordinates to retreat as soon as possible, he called another hunter to ask:
"When you took the suspect Geras into custody yesterday, didn't you carefully check his belongings?"

"This...should exist. We strictly follow the procedures."

As the hunter spoke, he took out a notepad, compared each item one by one, and then suddenly exclaimed:
"Huh? The inspection was incomplete? Did he miss the statue of the saint he carried with him?"

As he spoke, he showed the form to his two superiors and explained:
"Just in case, we will use two people every time to cross-check the troublesome belongings to ensure that they are not missed, but on this list, the two people responsible for the inspection missed the saint. Like, not checked..."

"Get everyone out quickly! Call the Butterfly Team over again."

The frog-faced judge said hurriedly, then turned back to Knight Commander Wald and Lloyd and said:

"Okay, I already know the situation. Please step back temporarily and leave this place to us."

"Don't you need our help?"

Lloyd asked in surprise.

As a result, the other party's attitude was even more surprising than his, but he replied politely:
"Uh... you are quite enthusiastic? But there is no need for the time being. We do not lack experience in dealing with the [Forgetting] system."

He probably saw Lloyd in the gray uniform of a torturer, and there was no obvious power fluctuation on his body. He was obviously not a strong man, so he was wondering why he was so bold?
When most people encounter the power of the [Forgetting] system, it’s too late to escape, right?
Knight Commander Walder on the side pulled Lloyd and motioned for him to take a few steps back with him, and then explained in a low voice:
"Generally speaking, we don't interfere with their actions... just trust them."

"But... you told me before that the power of [oblivion] is strange and dangerous, especially after it spreads over a large area, and the other party is likely to be a powerful character. Once out of control, the consequences may be disastrous..."

Lloyd said helplessly, and then looked around at the busy construction site.

The total number of workers and extraordinary people here is probably several thousand...

Walder was also a little helpless and had to reiterate:
"To deal with the [Forgetting] system, it is useless to just rely on more people. Believe them, this presiding judge is a strong and experienced man, and the butterfly team under his command is an elite with great achievements in combat."

"Then...will there be more powerful people who can come to support?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult. The incident happened too suddenly. If we can't control the situation, this camp may be doomed... But I still think we can believe in the ability of the Holy Court."

Having said that, he did not leave with Lloyd, but stayed on the outside and waited and watched for the time being.

The two of them watched as the frog-faced presiding judge led several hunters wearing butterfly masks and got into a temporarily dug basement, which was their temporary evidence storage room.

There was no movement coming from inside, no shouting of [veto declaration]

But after waiting for a few minutes, they didn't come out either... and the place suddenly fell into a strange silence.

"Oops...could something happen to them?"

Lloyd asked in a low voice, and then suggested:
"Shall we go and help too? If the power of [forgetfulness] spreads, the thousands of people here will..."

He has always regarded himself as a righteous young man who hates evil and hates evil. Faced with a crisis involving thousands of lives, he would naturally not think of escaping.

Knight Commander Walder also had a solemn expression, with a flash of confusion and hesitation on his face, but soon turned into a resolute look and nodded.

Then he took out a palm-sized notebook, scribbled something on it, closed it, and stuffed it into Lloyd's hand.

"If something happens to me, I'll give this to Coral."

He was referring to the knight commander who spoke in a bubble box.

"Are you going to go?"

Lloyd said quickly.

But Walder shook his head, and then shouted in a low voice, caught off guard:
"In the name of veto!"

Lloyd suddenly felt his body sink, and his feet seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.

He never expected that he would be 'attacked' by Walder and be [vetoed] and lose the ability to move.

"You are the star of hope favored by the Grand Inquisitor. You must not follow me to take risks!"

With that said, he took advantage of his rank and called two hunters and asked them to carry Lloyd away.

Lloyd wanted to struggle and shout, but found that his ability to speak had been [vetoed], and he could only watch as he was carried away.

From the corner of his vision, he saw the knight commander calling for two hunters to follow him, and resolutely walked towards the evidence storage room.

Aren't you Calabash Boys saving Grandpa?

Lloyd was so anxious that he struggled hard to regain his freedom.

But how can it be possible to fight against extraordinary power with only brute force?

Seeing that he was about to be carried further and further away, he didn't care so much anymore. He said sorry to the two hunters carrying him in his heart, and then activated the [Distortion Realm]

He wasn't sure if his strength could stand up to a knight commander, but he had to try.

You can't just watch a crisis erupt and thousands of lives disappear in front of you, right?

So Lloyd used the power of [Distortion Realm] to first [distort] the perception and cognition of the two hunters in the direction of 'sleepiness'.

The two hunters suddenly felt as if they hadn't slept in months. Their bodies softened, and they fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Lloyd was also hit hard on the ground, grinning in pain.

Then, he began to try to [distort] the [Veto Declaration] effect on himself.
