I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 27 27. The Realm of Distortion
Lloyd had personally experienced the specific effects of this new skill, nine times in a row.

Moreover, every time the sights seen before the eyes, the whispers heard in the ears, and the temperature and atmosphere felt by the skin became clearer and more real every time.

Lloyd couldn't help but recall the last time he encountered the evil ritual.

That happened more than two hours ago. It was located in a warehouse at a freight train station in Xicheng District. As soon as Lloyd walked in, he felt like he was in a bloody purgatory.

He saw pieces of bones and broken limbs under his feet, all twisted by some weird force into indescribable weird shapes, stretching endlessly to the limit of his vision, like tangled lines. , working together to create a huge pattern.

When Lloyd was in it, he felt like he was just a tiny drop of ink, and it was difficult to see the whole thing.

Under the bones and broken limbs, there was a dark red wasteland that was completely soaked in blood. It seemed to be made of flesh and blood and organs. It was a little soft and sticky when you stepped on it, and it seemed as if you were still alive. Slowly squirming and tumbling, causing the entire scene in front of him to constantly distort and change.

At the end of this scene, in the distance that seems to be the horizon, stands a dark thing, shrouded in a layer of sticky black, towering into the clouds, connecting the sky and the earth, like a majestic tower under the night, and like darkness lofty monument.

Lloyd was also unable to see the whole thing. Maybe it was too dark, maybe it was too far away, maybe he couldn't see clearly at all...

In his ears, the originally low and detailed murmurs had turned into high-pitched carols, repeating those words with a strange rhythm and accent:

"Falling... into the abyss..."

"Touch...reality..."

"Embrace...mania..."

"Enjoy...Disorder..."

"Facing...chaos..."

Being exposed to what he saw, heard, and felt, Lloyd didn't dare to waste any time. He quickly took advantage of the tingling feeling in his brain before it affected his thoughts and rationality, lit a match, and threw it around.

Along with a crackling sound, a strange scorch mark appeared under his feet.

Lloyd didn't have time to take a closer look, so he quickly reached out and touched it. He waited for those dark lines to come alive and worm their way behind him, and then mobilized his spiritual power to wash them away until the prompt from the panel came to his ears:
[Ding~Insanity value +500, skill fragment +1]

[Enough skill fragments have been obtained to unlock the skill - Distorted Realm, LV2]

Then Lloyd's perception gradually returned to normal, and he returned to the ordinary freight warehouse.

There was also a milky cry from the distance:

"Meow meow meow!"

Then, the little milk cat squirmed towards him quickly like a cute cat bug.

This little guy didn't even come in with Lloyd, but was hiding outside the warehouse.

Lloyd didn't blame it. The situation this time was indeed dangerous. During the last round of divination, the matchstick danced like noodles, giving it an indescribable weird feeling.

Even an optimistic person like Lloyd couldn't make an optimistic interpretation of such a sign, so he was more prepared when he walked in.

"Fortunately, the situation is still under control...but it's time for us to go home."

Lloyd said to the little milk cat, put it in his pocket, and prepared to go home.

He didn't know if there was a tenth place, No. 11 place, or even more such evil rituals, but this was obviously beyond his ability.

When dealing with this ninth part, it is already full of dangers and extremely dangerous. Let’s leave the rest to the anonymous letter.

This is what Lloyd experienced two hours ago. He has written it clearly enough in the anonymous letter. It should attract the attention of the Holy Court of Grace, right?
"There are still five points to add, let's add them first."

Lloyd muttered to himself, called out the panel, and then fell into some entanglement and hesitation.

After adding points in the previous two times, his [Rationality], [Spiritual Power], and [Cognition] have all reached 35 points, but [Inspiration] is still only 30 points. So according to the original plan, these five points on hand should be added. Give [inspiration] to maintain the bucket style beauty.

But after some careful consideration, Lloyd decided to add these five points to [rationality].

[Ding~Add points completed] [User: Royd]

【Status: Normal】

[Insanity value: 266/1500, upper limit: 4000]

[Rationality: 40]

【Spiritual Power: 35】

【Inspiration: 30】

[Cognition: 35]

[System: Distortion LV1]

[Skills Mastered: Efficient Learning; Exploration; Divination LV3; Stun Resistance LV3; Accurate Anatomy LV3; Distortion Realm LV2]

"Ahem, it's definitely not that I'm cowardly. As a passionate and righteous young man, I will never compromise to danger! It's not that I've given up on my bucket-like healthy figure. It's just that the inspiration is enough for now. I should Invest your attribute points where they are needed more..."

Lloyd explained it to himself and looked at the skills he currently has.

Among them, [Twisted Realm] is listed together with other normal skills, and it looks really out of place...

It's not a formatting problem, it's just that the four characters are written crookedly and the fonts are distorted.

Not only here, but also the skill descriptions and more detailed knowledge in his mind are all written in this crooked font, as if separated by a layer of water curtain. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel that they are constantly moving. It twists and turns, as if it is alive, ready to jump up and bite someone at any time.

Anyway, just looking at these descriptions made Lloyd feel that he, a passionate and righteous young man, was drifting further and further away from the path of being a villain. He was no longer going astray, but going astray...

As for the more specific usage of this skill, it is a standard villain ability.

One is to activate skills, continuously consume spiritual power, and then form a circle of [distorted] fields around you. The perception, rationality, and cognition of people in it will be distorted.

The other is to arrange an evil ritual, which requires the use of many psychic objects and various materials, among which one material is particularly eye-catching——

The blood of a female cat that just gave birth to kittens...

Lloyd didn't know the specific working principle or why such a cruel thing was needed, but he could probably guess why the little milk cat kept lying on the box and refused to leave.

Anyway, he probably won't be able to use this second function himself, and he probably won't be able to use the first function either.

"Although there is no right or evil in power itself, it mainly depends on the person using it and the purpose, but how do you explain it to people and make people believe it?"

Everyone, listen to my explanation!

There is no need to talk about moral principles for evil heretics like you, let’s all join in!

It's hard to explain this kind of thing...

Lloyd shook his head helplessly, and finally turned his attention to the 266 [Insanity Points] accumulated so far.

"Speaking of which, I heard gibbering before and felt a headache, but why didn't I get the scattered [Insanity Points] 1:1?"

"Could it be that this evil ritual only distorts the perception and does not pollute the spirit?"

This discovery made Lloyd feel that his 'villain feeling' was suddenly reduced a lot?
