I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 261 260. Help from sister

Forget it, my check didn't disappear, it was just replaced with materials and continues to accompany me, just like when I played the gold mobile game...

Lloyd tried to comfort himself in his heart, but he felt that something was wrong?

Playing krypton gold mobile games is to exchange money for a beautiful girl wife to accompany you; but spending money to buy materials will be gone after they are used up, and it cannot be called companionship at all.

I could only change my mind and change my perspective to comfort myself.

This is only because I am too talented and work too hard, so my upgrade speed is much faster than others. It can take others several years to save money, but I only have one month, so it is naturally very stressful.

Fortunately, the materials I bought this time are all in good condition, which is worthy of my talent and hard work. As a sophisticated young man who loves life, it is only in line with my personality to spend some money to improve the quality of life!

After some random thinking, Lloyd felt a little better, and then remembered another thing, so he went back to the club and came to the basement he rented.

He walked straight into the lounge, admired the painter's last works, and then slumped down on the lounge chair to see if any more forbidden knowledge would be attracted to him.

As a result, I lay down for a while and nothing happened...

It seems that this [beacon] is still too weak. It is really just a wisp of 'candlelight', which was extinguished by three or two 'moths'.

Lloyd judged the situation and knew that the painting was invalid. From now on, it would simply be the last memorial left to him by an old friend who met by chance.

He left the club and went to the commercial street on the other side. Since he spent so much money today, he might as well do another big purchase.

It’s similar to the kind of thing that says, ‘Since you’ve already earned money to draw cards, why not spend all your first deposit in krypton? ’ mentality.

Lloyd shopped for a while and bought some ingredients for the night, new kitchen utensils, and a radio, and spent a lot of money.

The kitchen utensils he chose were of relatively good quality, strong and durable. Only such high-end kitchen utensils could carry his cooking skills.

The ordinary ones he bought last month were all torn to pieces by him.

The radio is used to listen to news. At present, Lloyd has basically completed all preparations for the third [Transcendence]. The knowledge reserves are in place and the materials are ready. In the end, the only thing missing is this weird derivative.

So I had to shake my teeth and spend a lot of money to buy a radio - this thing is still considered a 'high-end home appliance' in this era, probably at the level of 'three turns and three beeps', so it is inevitably a bit more expensive.

Of course, compared to the materials of the [Veto] system, these daily necessities are only a fraction...

In the final stage of the big purchase, Lloyd visited the newsstands near his home and collected almost all the newspapers in the Brilliant City, intending to search for news about the strange derivatives.

When he got home, he started to look through the books. It wasn't until the time was almost up that he walked into the kitchen, making a noise like a machine factory, and then showed off his latest understanding of cooking skills——

Tomato-flavored fish aria, barbecue-style red wine braised short ribs, black pepper bean sprouts mixed with green peppers.

Speaking of which, I haven’t cooked for my sister in a few days. She must be missing my cooking skills too, right?

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

Yverol frowned slightly and put on a cute, childish yet serious expression, as if she was facing some kind of major test in life. In order to challenge herself, she finished the dinner cooked by her brother.

Then she quickly took out a few pages of documents and handed them to Lloyd.

"Xiao Yi, I wonder if these can help you?"

Lloyd took it and glanced at it briefly. On it were various 'ghost stories' that he was looking for, and they were all summarized and refined. They briefly explained the time, place, characters and events, which was better than Lloyd himself. Much clearer.

"Wow? That's exactly what I needed! Thank you so much."

Lloyd suddenly became happy, hugged Everol quickly, and continued:

"It must be hard to sort this out, right? If I had known, I would have prepared a few more dishes tonight."

Everol waved her hands quickly, showed an embarrassed smile, and explained:

"Eh? Don't... don't talk about this. As long as I can help Xiao Yi, I didn't organize these alone. It's also thanks to the new editor-in-chief."

"Yeah, then thank him for me."

Lloyd added, and then he took a serious look at these 'one-line ghost stories'.

Everol mentioned another thing:

"By the way, today Ms. Landis came to the editorial office to conduct a security check, and she happened to know that Xiao Yi, you were looking for a resentful spirit, and then she said..."

Everol paused, switched to an old-fashioned tone, and repeated Ms. Landis's views:

"Ahem, taking this approach to achieve [Transcendence] is not a wise choice. You'd better advise your brother not to be opportunistic...

After all, for extraordinary people, every [transcendence] is crucial, especially our [veto] system, which needs to be done steadily. "

Not to mention, Evrael imitated this kind of voice and tone, which was unexpectedly lifelike. Paired with that petite and childish appearance, is it just a little different in cuteness?

As the replacement of housekeeper Randolph, Ms. Landis is the new security consultant around Miss Desita, and she also takes care of the security of the editorial department on weekdays. She is also a high-ranking expert in the [Veto] system, so when she heard that Everol was helping her brother collect this information, she immediately knew what Lloyd wanted to do.

Of course, Lloyd also knew that this advice was reasonable and well-founded, but it was a pity that he had to take care of promotion at [Distortion], so he really had no choice.

"Well, I understand. Thank you Ms. Landis for me. Her suggestion is very pertinent, but I also have my own considerations."

Lloyd explained to his sister.

Everol nodded, smiled softly, and replied:

"Well, I know, Xiaoyi, you have been very independent and thoughtful since you were a child. My sister believes in you. After all, you have never let your sister down."

Lloyd felt a warmth in his heart and was very moved. He couldn't help but hug Everol again.

Maybe this is my sister? He will worry about me, but he will always believe in me and support me unconditionally.

It’s so great to have such a sister!

In order not to let his sister's trust go to waste, Lloyd returned to the study. First, he carefully went through the information she helped collect, and then used a pen to remove those that were fake at first sight and too far away, and conducted a preliminary screening.

Then, he took out a box of matches and the simple pocket watch, and began to perform [Screening Divination], repeating:

"Is this description true? Is this description true? Is this description true?"

Two hours later, Lloyd put down his pocket watch and matchbox and looked at the last two records on the pages of documents.

Using his level 5 [Divination] skill to perform this simple and basic [Screening Divination], the accuracy is naturally quite high, with almost no deviation, so the last two records should be true.

The first location is located in the new city to the west, and is right in the 'Sangui' shanty town that Lloyd has visited once before.

There seems to be a ghost whose gender is suspected to be female. Many people have witnessed it. It will appear and wander around in the darkest period before dawn.

But he usually doesn’t actively attack humans. He seems to be looking for something?

However, several people were still killed one after another, for unknown reasons and unknown numbers.

This resentful spirit has appeared for some time, but because the "three no matter" area has become an island in the city, there is no one to deal with it, so it is still there to this day.

The location on the second record is in a remote village in the north. It is said that a father who lost his daughter would talk to his daughter every night, scaring the neighbors to death.

This was supposed to be just a mental patient's 'self-entertainment', but the father's action was too strong——

He went to the town cemetery alone every night, dug up his daughter's grave with a hoe, and filled it up again before dawn.

A gravekeeper once stopped him with a shotgun, causing the father to curse and leave angrily.

But two days later, the tombkeeper disappeared mysteriously and was never seen again.

Another young righteous man held a pitchfork and stopped him. In front of many people, he told the father that his daughter was dead and wanted him to give up his fantasy and stop doing such a scary job.

But two days later, the righteous young man also disappeared mysteriously...

The residents of the town suspected that the father had committed the murder and quickly called the police. However, according to the police investigation, the father had a sufficient alibi, so in the end they had no choice but to let it go.

Maybe it was because the place was too remote, and the police didn't report the case. Anyway, to this day, the father still digs his daughter's grave every night, making the whole town terrified.

The records for two days are probably like this, and they have all been identified as authentic.

But whether it is the dirty thing that Lloyd is looking for or other types of abnormal events is currently unknown. It may also be other monsters.

Lloyd originally wanted to do further divination, but after thinking about it carefully, he put down the pocket watch in his hand.

The requirement for the third [Transcendence] was to completely use [Rejection Declaration] to deal with the monsters without any other external force or help, so he was worried that if he used too much divination, some effects would remain and destroy the [Transcendence] ritual. degree of completion.

"Which one should I choose? Which one should I choose?"

Lloyd muttered a few words to himself, and finally chose to clenched his fists.

As a mature young man who has entered society, he naturally wants both!

　There should be another chapter tonight?
