I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 368 367. The world is changing
"Why is it still raining?"

While Lloyd was combing Evelor's hair, he looked at the rain that was still pouring outside the window. Although it was not as earth-shattering as last night, it was even more annoying.

Yverael also disliked the rain. Although the pair of small feet hanging outside the chair had been put on white stockings and became as smooth as ice cream, they were no longer dangling as before, and they were still a little uneasy. said:
"Yeah, it feels like the rainy season came a month early this year, right? As soon as the rain ends, the weather will get colder... By the way, Xiaoyi, do you have enough clothes to wear there? Do you want sister to buy you some more thick clothes? of?"

"No, no, no, extraordinary people are not afraid of the cold."

"That's right, it's at this time that I envy you the most."

Everol smiled reluctantly.

After the siblings finished breakfast, Everol originally planned to take her little umbrella and go out to work, but Lloyd stopped her.

"Sister, I'll take you there."

After that, he took out the brand new three-piece set of equipment he had just received yesterday, and after a quick calculation, he located the location of the editorial department, and then opened the portal.

Yvero suddenly opened his emerald green eyes slightly and said in surprise:

You have been polluted by this materialistic and involution society...

It is very likely that he learned some news through his own news channels, and it is most likely related to the evil god's descendant yesterday.

Lloyd listened to the reminders in his ears day after day, and couldn't help but wonder, there is no solution to this subway, right? No one can cure it?
It just so happened that he arrived early today and took a quick look outside the cave with inspiration. Before Wei Ya arrived, he simply stopped and carefully inspected the "advanced subway".

It's Wei Ya who's here.

Is this monster itself special? Or... the influence of the evil god's offspring has begun to show?

Although you can directly open the portal to the 18th District, Lloyd believes that there should be more of a sense of ritual when going to work.

And, Wei Ya will always wait for him at the entrance of the subway...

[Ding~Insanity value +350]

In such a short journey, several people stopped Lloyd and asked him where he bought this umbrella.

Perhaps Wei Ya's pig-butcher father did this not just because he wanted to interfere with his daughter's love affair.

So regardless of the performance of this fire stick as a weapon, it is quite invincible as a toy and a daily utensil.

As she spoke, Wei Ya looked aggrieved, pitiful and helpless, and stretched out her hand to hug Lloyd's waist tightly, and continued:
"Lloyd, I feel like dad has discovered that we are secretly dating, and he just wants to separate us in this way so that we don't have much time together, but no matter what, I will never give in! "

Has the mental pollution suffered by the execution monster become stronger?

Lloyd complained in his heart with laughter and tears. He first sent Everol to the editorial office, and then returned home through the portal, preparing to go out and take the subway.

After the two came outside the cave, they squeezed tightly under the same umbrella. Wei Ya allowed Lloyd to hold her shoulders, then reached out to catch a few rays of raindrops, and said:
"It's raining so hard, and it's not just here. I heard the news this morning that it's raining in all six cities. It seems to have caused landslides in some areas, and even the process of large-scale development has been delayed. ”

Wei Ya didn't object, but she immediately pouted her lips slightly and said unhappily:

But what I was thinking about was something else...

This wave is not a loss!

Lloyd had received inside information from Hiltina and knew that the process of great development would definitely not be completed as expected due to the accident of the seventh saint, so he was not in a hurry.

Uh...it's actually very complicated? With my knowledge base, I can’t understand it at all?
I just know that it seems to involve some ancient technology, and it seems to have some modern space technology. It gives me a feeling that it is slightly similar to the previous storage bag? Does it mean it’s also related to some kind of biotechnology?
Lloyd was confused and didn't understand.

Therefore, Lloyd does not object to Wei Ya's father's arrangement. Facing an uncertain and optimistic future, it is always better to become stronger.

It's just a pity that the time I spend with Wei Ya will be reduced again...

The new toy you just bought has to be somewhat practical, right?
After testing, the effect is naturally very good. Not only is it light and easy to hold, it is not tiring to hold; it also does not touch water at all. Just shake the umbrella on it and it will fall away without getting wet.

But the most important thing is that the shape can be changed at will. One moment it can be a simple big black umbrella, the next moment it can be a cartoon umbrella with a pair of cat ears, and the next moment it becomes a wide beach umbrella, which is really fun.

Huh?
Lloyd looked at this line of panel prompts with some surprise.

Alas...sister, you have changed...

Just then, a familiar sound of gasping floated into my ears.

Lloyd nodded with satisfaction, put away the fire stick, and jumped into the subway.

Lloyd hurriedly came over to ask for help, maintaining his persona of a gentle and considerate young man.

When the two of them arrived at Tower No. 3, Lloyd still collected the keys to the - floor as usual, then walked into the cell and transformed the fire stick in his hand into his most convenient dagger. The knife rises and falls.

"Eh? Then... wouldn't it be possible for me to sleep a little longer in the future?"

Lloyd nodded vigorously, and in turn hugged Wei Ya's shoulders harder.

In the past, when you saw this kind of thing, you would have immediately praised me for being smart and powerful...

Otherwise, he could have done this long ago, there is no need to wait until today.

Of course, the most important thing is that it happens to be raining. I want to turn the fire stick I just bought yesterday into an umbrella to see if it works well.

[Ding~Insanity value +50]

"It would be a good idea to take the opportunity to take a rest."

"Well... our comrades on the front line really deserve a break."

"But it was also because of the rain that my father didn't sleep all night last night. Then when he got up this morning, he found three tutors for me and arranged a lot of mysterious and supernatural courses for me. You have to go home as early as possible every night to make up for classes..."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Yes, me too."

Lloyd quickly eliminated the other two monsters today and found that they also provided 350 points of insanity...

He suddenly frowned.

Although a 50-point improvement is nothing to me, to others, especially those at level -1, it is a completely different matter.

So Lloyd hurried to the -1 floor and found a cell where executions were being carried out.

Three unfamiliar newcomers were crowded here, one of whom was lying on the ground, vomiting violently, and the other two were holding psychic blades, somewhat at a loss.

Next to it was a low-level monster that had just been killed but had not had time to be dissected.

Seeing people in gray uniforms coming in, the two newcomers immediately looked to Lloyd for help as if they were grasping at straws:

"This senior, he doesn't know what happened. He suddenly started vomiting. Please save him!"

"Don't panic, he just suffered a relatively serious mental pollution at one time. Just help him sit by the wall for a while."

Lloyd said, adding a stupid hair to the newcomer on the ground, then walked over to the half-finished monster, and helped dissect out the recyclable organs.

When he turned around again, the expression of the previous student had returned to normal, but he still looked frightened. He huddled in the corner with his head in his hands, and kept muttering:

"I want to go home...I don't want to be a transcendent anymore, I just want to go home..."

Lloyd made a probe and found that this person's [rationality] was actually not low. He had 6 points, which was considered very strong and rational among ordinary people.

But the mental pollution that I had previously helped him share through [Consciousness Tentacles] was 300 points?
What he dealt with was just the weakest monster...

No wonder he was experiencing such vomiting and discomfort before, because he endured too much mental pollution for him in one breath.

Although his mental state has not deteriorated and the pollution has been eliminated by himself, the shadow and fear left in his heart may not be so easy to resolve.

Originally, he could become an excellent transcendent...

"He's fine, he's just a little scared. You can send him to rest."

Lloyd gave the order and prepared to check out the conditions in the other cells on the -1 floor.

"Okay... By the way, may I ask... are you Senior Lloyd?"

"How did you recognize it?"

"You're a handsome guy in a gray uniform. You're the only one in the entire 18th district, right?"

I really like to hear this...

Lloyd smiled softly, acquiescing, and then hurriedly ran to other cells.

After that, he took action on his behalf and helped to share the burden. He quickly helped clear out all the monsters on the -1 and -2 floors, and then returned to the office to summarize his findings.

To put it simply, if you execute a monster by yourself, even if it is a -1 level monster, the madness value will increase by an additional 50.

As for the other executor apprentices, the extent of improvement varies, but the lowest is +50, and the highest is like the previous one, directly reaching half of the rational endurance.

Fortunately, the people who did it in the other cells were all experienced people who had known him for a long time, so although he felt uncomfortable, it was not as ugly as the first one.

But I can't tell whether the situation will worsen... The matter is more complicated than I thought, and I need to discuss it with Hiltina and the dean as soon as possible.

So Lloyd rushed back to the office, packed up, went to find Wei Ya, briefly explained the situation to her, reminded her to pay attention, and suggested not to let other people execute the monsters, but to leave it all to himself.

"There is such a thing... Wasn't what dad said this morning meant to scare me?"

After Wei Ya was surprised, she muttered to herself first, then immediately changed to a distressed expression and asked:
"But what should you do, Lloyd? Let you bear and carry so much mental pollution alone..."

Lloyd smiled, reached out and touched her face, and said nonchalantly:

"I'm fine. I'm naturally very resistant to mental pollution. Don't worry about me...Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I have to go back to the academy to report the matter and see if I can find any solution."

Although it was said that he was going back to the academy, in fact, Lloyd's next stop was to the saint's bedroom.

Hiltina's beautiful figure also appeared out of thin air, and she asked in surprise:

"Didn't we just separate not long ago? Why are you here again? Are you particularly reluctant to leave me today?"

"I discovered something unexpectedly. Please contact the dean quickly."

Lloyd then gave an overview of what he had discovered this morning.

Of course, he did not directly state the specific value of +50. He only said that the mental pollution he noticed was obviously getting stronger, coupled with other people's experiences and feelings.

"Did the impact come so quickly? And it's still evolving in a very bad direction..."

The dean sounded particularly solemn when he heard this.

Hiltina was also the same, she was frowning slightly, opening her smooth jade feet, pacing back and forth in front of Lloyd, and said with the same worry:
"Our current process of capturing, executing, recycling, making materials, and cultivating more extraordinary beings has been running stably for a long time. If this system is destroyed..."

"Is it possible to find a way to execute people from a distance?"

Lloyd tried to suggest.

"It's useless. Have you forgotten one of the characteristics of mental pollution? No matter how far away you are, you will find the person who actually did it like a curse."

Hiltina shook her head.

The dean expressed his opinion:
"Perhaps it would be better to start from the ritual side? I can launch some corresponding issues and academic projects here."

Hiltina still shook her head:
"Well, this is of course the best way, but even if you conduct this kind of research in Mizkatok, it will take a long time, right? Not to mention that you want to replace the suppression rituals equipped by each Holy Inquisition in each city. , which itself is a huge and complex project.”

"Indeed, the gap period is too long...and I am more worried that this kind of thing will cause panic..."

As an executioner himself, Lloyd considers more details.

"This is also an issue that worries me. Once humans lose the courage to fight against monsters, there will really be no future."

Hiltina said, forced herself to smile, and then said:

“But fortunately, the problem was discovered early and the situation is not particularly bad. We still have time to find a solution... Or to be more optimistic, this change may only last for a short period of time and will be eliminated soon?
That's it for now. Lloyd, you go back to the academy first. I'm going to contact those colleagues and see what they say. "

The colleagues she mentioned were obviously referring to the four saints.

Lloyd nodded, then opened the portal and returned to his luxurious dormitory. After leaving the little cat to look after the house, he returned to the laboratory of the space department.

There were quite a lot of people in the laboratory today and it was quite lively. Everyone was working on their own projects with the light curtain as usual. When Lloyd suddenly opened the door and came in, they seemed to have adapted to it. No one was surprised or surprised. He nodded slightly at him as a greeting.

Professor Lawrence was different. He had a hideous mace in his hand. Looking bloody, he was beating a researcher to the point of tears. Then he waved his hand and threatened:

"Go ahead, go ahead. If you dare to make such a stupid mistake again, I will replace it with a real mace."

Uh... the old professor does still have a majestic side, I almost thought he was really the kind of talkative old man...

Lloyd cursed in his heart, and approached Professor Lawrence to say hello.

As soon as he saw Lloyd, Professor Lawrence's originally bad mood seemed to suddenly improve, and he said kindly:
"You don't need to come to the laboratory today. Just find a comfortable place to study the basic theory on your own."

"Well, I know, but I discovered something happening outside today."

Lloyd told the old professor about his findings again, and then came up with an imaginative idea:
"You think, can we create a huge, special space and store mental pollution in it like cargo?"

Professor Lawrence did not answer immediately, but first looked down at the bloody mace still in his hand, adjusted his mood, and replied angrily:

"I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who can come up with such a method..."

If someone else had told him this, he would probably have beaten them with a stick until they cried.

"Haha... Okay, actually I think this idea is a bit outrageous."

Royd laughed sarcastically and quickly escaped from the laboratory before the old professor changed his mind.

Then I found a place with pleasant scenery, took out the tome I had not finished reading before, and began to chew on it.

Lloyd knew very well that with his current level of strength and knowledge, he had no way to interfere with the drastic changes in the world outside, and could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Then it is better to turn your powerlessness into motivation and seize the time to learn more.

With the help of the bracelet given by Professor Lawrence before, Lloyd quickly entered a "selfless" learning state.

Thanks to the improvement in cognitive level, as well as the expansion of attributes and the upgrade of [Space Control], these tomes that were not easy to digest before have become smoother.

The study time was still the same as last time. In addition to the eight hours stipulated by both the dean and the professor, I only secretly studied for two more hours, making up ten hours.

During this period, Lloyd finished the entire tome in one breath, plus the small half that he had not finished before.

Naturally, I acquired a lot of skill fragments, but [Space Domination] has not been upgraded. It is probably like before, it was 'stuck' by something, and I need more opportunities to upgrade.

This is what Lloyd expected. This skill is inherently difficult to improve...

But the insanity value obtained surprised him a little.

The last time he studied for 10 hours at a stretch, the mental pollution he suffered was only enough to upgrade him to level 3. At the same time today, he was upgraded to level 4.

But my learning progress is obviously many times that of before...

So this mental pollution is based on study time?
Then why was it level 3 last time and level 4 this time?
Did I study more deeply? Or...is it related to the changes in the world outside?
Lloyd didn't have a clue for the time being, so he didn't continue to think about it. He might as well add some points first.

Since it has been upgraded to level 4, which corresponds to four attributes, why not...

10 points [rationality], 5 points [spiritual power], 5 points [cognition]

Ah ~ What a well-balanced large water tank!

Lloyd nodded, then got up and moved his stiff and sore limbs. He went back to the dormitory and made some food for himself and the little cat.

After that, he didn't lie on the sofa and read the student handbook. Instead, he remembered what he had promised his childhood sweetheart yesterday, and it was time to go to [Meet the Saint].

The giant bud in the [Thinking Realm] is still tightly closed, indicating that Hiltina is not here. She is probably still in a meeting with other saints?
Lloyd thought about it casually, then continued to use the help of the bracelet, quickly entered a state of [selflessness], and looked at the four-spiral tower that had become like a barber shop lantern.

As he looked up, the extra black part on the tower began to show some different changes.

The originally solidified deep black began to flow slowly, like an abyss coming to life.

When Lloyd was in the "selfless" state, he was naturally focused and didn't think much at all. He just subconsciously learned whatever was in front of him.

It wasn't until several hours later, accompanied by a headache and dizziness, that he woke up.

"Uh...it feels so uncomfortable...how long have I been studying?"

Lloyd covered his head and quickly took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

It’s only three hours, about the same as before?

But why do you feel so sick?
