I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 269 268. Not surprising

Lloyd closed his eyes and meditated for a while in this simple hut, waited until 6 o'clock in the morning, and then returned to the [Thinking Realm] as usual.

As soon as I entered, I saw obvious changes in the giant flower bud.

The size and shape are still the same, not much changed, but a few buds have split out at the top, and they look like they are about to bloom.

Then the original Bao Bi looked fairer, with some lines faintly appearing on it, which looked like blood vessels under the delicate skin.

Lloyd stared at the flower bud for a while, and somehow, he suddenly felt that it was very beautiful, with a delicate and charming beauty.

Not describing the beauty of flowers, but describing the beauty of girls, which makes people's hearts beat...

And this was an idea he had subconsciously, tending to some kind of physiological instinct, not just random thoughts in his head.

Lloyd stared at the flower bud for a while, feeling his heartbeat and breathing begin to speed up inexplicably. He quickly came back to his senses and shook his head vigorously.

What's wrong with me? Why would you have such a weird idea about a flower?

Is there really a beautiful girl inside?

But it’s not like there aren’t beautiful girls around me...

Although he was blaming himself and thinking wildly in his heart, his feet were slowly approaching involuntarily, and he slowly stretched out his hand to gently touch the flower bud.

His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was holding a girl's hand.

The flower bud immediately responded to him. An invisible force transformed into a delicate little hand, holding up Lloyd's hand and placing it close to the flower bud.

It felt like a girl was holding his hand and pressing it against her cheek.

This is already a very intimate gesture between lovers...

But as if Lloyd didn't think it was enough, he subconsciously moved closer, then lowered his head slightly and directly touched the bud with his forehead.

It suddenly seemed more intimate.

Hua Bao also responded to his feelings, letting go of an invisible little hand and gently caressing his cheek, like a gentle wife comforting her husband.

Lloyd was stunned, and even wanted to be bolder and kiss him directly with his mouth.

Fortunately, a series of panel prompts came to his ears, which prevented him from actually making such a curious move.

[Ding~Insanity value +2000]

[Ding~Insanity value +2000]

The prompt rang five times, causing Lloyd to move up a level.

Uh... maybe it's because I got promoted, so my mental pollution is more?

Or is it because I have had more intimate interactions with each other, so my mental pollution has increased?

Or maybe it's because the bud itself has changed, so the mental pollution has increased?

A series of strange questions popped up in Lloyd's mind.

Speaking of which, the bud will change because the progress of the unknown fragment has increased again?

So when the fragment is finally interpreted, will it bloom and show its most beautiful moment?

Maybe a beautiful girl with a super high score will really be revealed?

But then again, I still can't make the final choice between Wei Ya and Elolo. If there is one more...

Lloyd began to think wildly again, then suddenly froze and shook his head again.

Uh...no, no...

Why did I default to this flower as a beautiful girl?

It is just a [consciousness body] made by myself under the guidance of the Saint. It should be what I want it to be, right?

So considering that I will get involved in the [Embodiment] system in the future and need to use the power there to fight, or help me cook and arrange rituals, etc., I should definitely choose the more practical [Conscious Body], right?

For example, a super giant robot with a cool appearance, complete functions, advanced weapons, and superior performance?

Or a masked hero wearing a tight leather suit, a special belt around his waist, and a locust mask?

You can also choose a stand-in messenger, a pocket beast, a defender of glory, the owner of the refrigerator, or even a seed of ideality, a dimensional bankroll...

No, no, why do you think of beautiful girls again?

What happened to me today? Why is your mind so messed up? Do you always think about these things?

I remember that I had the character of a reserved and innocent young man, right?

Lloyd couldn't help but reflect in his mind and began to look for the reason again.

Well, it should be because these big guys I know are always urging me to get married, which interfered with some of my judgment.

Well, that should be it!

After some self-examination, the movement on the other side of the flower bud just disappeared. It lost its vitality and vitality, and it no longer looked like a beautiful girl.

Lloyd couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look next to him, and found that the Tentacle Grass was thinking about how he kept waving, looking quite happy?

ヽ(○^^)

Probably congratulating yourself on your promotion?

Lloyd nodded and encouraged:

"You also saw it, right? This is the reward for my hard work. You should work hard and strive to become a project manager as soon as possible."

Tentacle Grass made a very human gesture of scratching its head, probably because it didn't understand what he said.

It's the kind of person who can't understand applause. He's not as smart as a little cat...

Lloyd then left the [Thinking Realm] and focused the newly upgraded 5 attribute points on [Rationality], with the total value reaching 235 points.

Then he left the hut where he temporarily settled, went back to the nearby tavern, found the bartender, and asked him to find someone to take him away.

The bartender immediately arranged for a subordinate to lead the way, and before Lloyd turned around and left, he bravely said:

"Your Excellency, we will remember your help today. If you need it in the future, please ask me. My gang and I will be happy to help you."

Lloyd was noncommittal and just nodded.

This kind of gray organization is just for ordinary people, and it can't do anything to help you.

Maybe when one day I have some free time and want to study the secrets of the abandoned city, I will consider coming to him?

So almost half an hour after Lloyd left, the few remaining drinkers in the bar began to whisper again:

"Why do I feel like this guy...oh no, it's the gray Lord Judge, he seems to have become stronger again? Is it my imagination? Although I don't understand the mystery and the supernatural, I have never come into contact with the extraordinary people in the dungeon. None of them have the sense of awe he brought me."

"Well, I feel the same way. When he came in just now, I didn't dare to breathe, but he obviously doesn't seem to have changed, right?"

"Me too, I feel like I have to lower my head in front of him. Isn't that weird? I didn't feel this way when I saw him last night."

Only the bartender showed a well-informed look and said:

"Now you understand why I asked you not to talk to him last night? It's better for us to keep a distance from such a strong man and try not to have contact with him."

But two subordinates expressed different thoughts:

"But boss... If our gang can have an extraordinary person like him as a backer, we won't have to live a hard life up there, right? We can also go to the underground city to grab territory like other gangs!"         Yes Ah, yes, if our gang also has extraordinary people, we don’t need to shrink here at all, we can do bigger business.”

But the bartender chose to extinguish his subordinate’s expectations without hesitation:

"You people think of extraordinary people too simply, especially a strong man like him. You may be able to borrow his prestige now, but if he encounters some changes in the future and implicates us, do you dare to imagine that we will What kind of outcome will it be?"

"Ah...it seems to be what the boss said. It's scary just thinking about it..."

"What's more, although the underground city can protect you from wind and rain, it is definitely not a beautiful paradise. The water there is too deep, and there is something very dangerous hidden..."

"A very dangerous thing? Boss, you mean..."

Faced with the curiosity about the attributes, the bartender looked around and confirmed that there were no other people waiting nearby, and then whispered:

"Actually, I discovered a few days ago that the unlucky ones who were killed by ghosts all went to the underground city not long ago. It is said that they were hired by a generous gentleman who gave them a large sum of money. , help someone find something...

I don’t know if I’ve found it, and I don’t know what it is specifically. Is it probably some kind of heirloom?

Anyway, those unlucky guys thought they had made money, but not long after they came back, they were killed by the ghost one after another. They all committed suicide, which caused all our people to escape and were worried about it. a few days...

I think the investigation teams outside should also know about this situation, so they don't dare to intervene, right? "

"Ah? So this kind of thing has happened before? Boss, why didn't you tell us?"

"What's the use of telling you? What can you do?"

"This... seems to be the same? But fortunately, this gray judge appeared in time... Wait, the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, right? Could it be that he came here specifically for that generous gentleman and his treasure? "

"That's right! No wonder I was always curious before, why would our poor place attract such a big shot? It makes sense...so boss, you don't want us to have more contact with him, right?"

"So you still want to find him as your backer now?"

"I don't dare, I don't want to see him again in my life!"

"That's good...don't be idle, hurry up and get our people back."

The bartender gave the order, and then added a very serious reminder:

"Remember, don't spread what happened last night. No matter who asks you, say you don't know. If you want to live longer, you must learn to be more strict with your mouth."

Several subordinates suddenly nodded vigorously in silence.

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

At this time, Lloyd, led by a subordinate, took the overland path, left the abandoned city, and arrived at a suburb to the west.

Here you can see a large series of chimneys in the distance, hear various "ding-ding-dong-dong" sounds, and there are railway tracks for running trains at your feet, extending to the mountains further away.

Lloyd recalled the map of Brilliant City and realized that he had arrived at the outskirts of the industrial area in the southwest.

Therefore, the location advantage of this abandoned urban area is actually very good. To the west is the new urban area where the financial center is located, and to the south is the south of the city where Lloyd lives, and it happens to be connected to the industrial area.

Many people there probably work in the industrial zone, where the capitalists extract surplus value.

Perhaps it has not been governed for a long time because some people hope that the people there can only provide cheap labor.

It seems that the capitalists on earth also treated workers in this way in their early stages...

While thinking about these things in his mind, Lloyd walked along the railway track for a while. Not long after, he saw a rather large church, which should be the base set up by the Holy Inquisition nearby.

After revealing his identity, Lloyd was able to take the 'Advanced Subway' and arrived home soon.

This time was half an hour later than Everol's usual time to go out, so naturally there was no one at home.

I just don’t know who combed my sister’s hair this morning?

Lloyd then returned to his room, re-equipped the sacred objects he had left at home last night to ensure that the ceremony would not be disturbed, and hurried to District 18 to start work.

But he didn't expect that even though it was so late today, Wei Ya was still waiting for him outside.

She had an anxious look on her face and kept looking at the pocket watch in her hand.

Lloyd was so moved that he rushed over.

As a result, when Wei Ya saw him, she asked angrily:

"Why are you so late today?"

Lloyd put his arms around her slender waist, pulled her delicate body into his arms, and said proudly:

"Hey, Wei Ya, have you noticed that the me today is different from the me yesterday?"

"Ok?"

Wei Ya was stunned, reached out and pinched his cheek, and then touched his chest.

"It seems to be different...are you...promoted to the third level?"

"Hey, how are you? Are you surprised? The reason why I didn't tell you what I was going to do yesterday was because I wanted to give you a surprise this morning."

Lloyd said with a sneer again.

But Wei Ya didn't look very surprised, she immediately frowned and asked:

"Why is your [Transcendence] ritual so fast? Can it be completed in one night? Did you use that tricky method?"

"Yes, I found a weird derivative..."

Lloyd took the opportunity to chat with Wei Ya about what happened last night.

But before she could say a few words, she noticed that Wei Ya's face was getting uglier and uglier, and she was already tense and turned into a lump of ice.

Moreover, a pair of big gray eyes became misty, and tears were preparing to burst out.

"Uh... Wei Ya, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Lloyd quickly asked cautiously.

"You...do you know that this kind of thing is dangerous? Do you know that doing this is irresponsible to yourself?"

Wei Ya said in a crying voice, and then pushed him hard to stop him from hugging her.

It seems that he is really angry...
