I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 381 Chapter 380. Something is fishy
"Huh??? It's only been a day since the world appeared outside, right? How could the City of Joy deteriorate to this point? Isn't it too outrageous? Didn't all the research plans we formulated in the past few days go to waste?"

"My home is from the City of Joy! No, I have to go back and see my parents..."

"Calm down first. This is an academy and we have plenty of time. Let's see what the professors and lecturers say first."

"Professor Toledo, Lecturer Lloyd, do we still want to continue our project?"

After Lloyd brought the news about the City of Joy back to the project team, a heated discussion immediately started. Everyone looked worried and hesitant.

Professor Toledo was not in a hurry to speak, but waited until he weighed it carefully before asking:
"Anyone want to quit?"

The place suddenly became quiet, and no one made any comment.

"Very good. Since no one has indicated that they want to quit, let's continue the project. However, we encountered this unexpected situation and the research plan we formulated before is no longer available for the time being."

Professor Toledo said regretfully, threw aside the thick pile of documents in his hand, and said to Lloyd:
"The situation has changed. Lloyd, have you reported it to the dean?"

"I already know. I support your decision and will increase your credits and funding accordingly."

"Haha, you remind me of when I helped your history department conduct archaeological excavations. As a result, we had to clear out a group of cult forces entrenched in ancient ruins."

"Yes, the tide of monsters has not appeared for a long, long time, especially in a place with a good geographical location like the City of Joy...

"There have been several times before that in order to investigate unusual events in remote towns, I had to help them solve the problem of water and electricity supply."

Their words made Lloyd feel warm in his heart.

Lecturer Lille said, tapping his head lightly again, and continued:
"The chaos in the city can be easily solved. The real trouble is the weather and the monsters that are ready to move."

The best way is to come from the protection of the saint. Where the saint is sitting, the monsters will not dare to die easily. "

It is located in the hinterland, with the Brilliant City and the Eternal City helping to resist monsters from the wasteland. Theoretically, there should be no tide of monsters. Could it be the impact of this weird heavy rain? Or is it caused by the great development? "

Lecturer Randy took out a map from his pocket, looked at it, and said with some confusion:

To put it simply, we must find ways to neutralize, disperse, and mislead the tide of monsters before they truly take shape. In short, we must use various means to neutralize them instead of confronting them head-on.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with that heavy rain, right?"

These words immediately boosted the morale of the project team. Lecturer Randy immediately said:
"In this case, we have nothing to worry about. Let's solve the problem of the City of Joy first and then continue our research. Anyway, this is a very common thing for Mizkatok. We often do it for Mizkatok. In order to be able to study with peace of mind, I have to do more 'preparation'."

The bald lecturer from the mage department, Bartolo, said with a smile.

Professor Toledo also laughed and added:

Lecturer Randy smiled, shook his head, and explained:
"Actually, none of us here have ever experienced a real wave of monsters. According to historical records, it all dates back to the Doomsday Era. But it's not that the monsters have been dormant for so many years, but that we humans have mastered the ability to deal with and deal with it. Ways to eliminate...

The dean's voice happened to reach everyone's ears at this time.

It can only be said that Mizkatok is worthy of being responsible for the development and future of mankind. There is no shortage of responsibility and courage here.

Everyone present quickly got into the mood and began to discuss why the City of Joy collapsed so quickly.

At this time, an honors student next to him raised his hand and asked a question first:
"Two lecturers, I have never experienced a monster wave. Can you tell me more about it? How should we deal with it?"

When Lloyd heard this, he whispered:

"But, the Saint of the City of Joy..."

Lecturer Randy frowned and nodded again:
"Yes, this is the trouble. The saints in the City of Joy are unreliable, and we have to find a way ourselves. And once the monster wave reaches the scale recorded in history, it will be difficult to imagine with our current strength as human beings What a heavy price we have to pay to resist it, not to mention the influence from the mutation..."

Another top student next to him asked:

"The worst case scenario, that is, if the monster wave truly takes shape, what order of magnitude will it be?"

"I don't know... Although there are historical records in this area, they are all described using words such as 'tsunami' and 'wave', indicating that the low-risk monsters among them have probably reached an order of magnitude that is difficult to count, and are also accompanied by The number of high-risk individuals is not low.”

Lecturer Lear added helpfully.

At this moment, even Lloyd, who executed monsters every day, felt his scalp numb.

Monsters are roaring like mountains and tsunamis, but there is no saint to sit down. In addition, when executing monsters, you need to endure more mental pollution, and the City of Joy behind it is still very restless. This game is simply unplayable.

He couldn't help but recall that the picture he had seen was the one given to him by the street painter, and the hallucination caused by that picture.

Lloyd still remembered that he came to a bloody battlefield and watched a group of soldiers deploying a defensive line in full swing, preparing to resist a sweeping black line on the horizon.

That...is the fully formed monster wave, right?

It is indeed a scale that cannot be counted...

Moreover, those people on the battlefield at that time looked like people from the glorious era. Even if they wanted to resist this level of offensive, they paid an extremely heavy price...

"So we must find a way to neutralize the tide of monsters before they take shape."

Royd couldn't help but said.

"Yes, but fortunately we at Mizkatok have never given up research in this area. To be more precise, this has always been a key subject in our mage department."

As the bald mage Bartolo spoke, he moved his arms full of blocky muscles, and then pressed his knuckles so that they made a clicking sound, looking a little eager to try.

He said:
"I originally thought that there was a saint, and this kind of research wouldn't be of much use, but I didn't expect that it would be useful one day?"

After that, he picked up a briefing brought back by Lloyd and continued:
"But compared to monsters, what is more terrifying is the human heart... I have been thinking, no matter how young the Joy Order is, it has maintained a city for decades, how could it collapse in one day? Is this really true? Is it just a natural disaster? Or is someone secretly brewing a man-made disaster?"

"Do you think someone is causing trouble?"

Professor Toledo asked quickly.

"Yes, otherwise only a few resource points were attacked. This can be said to be a daily event that happens every day. More severe ones are also very common. How can this actually cause large-scale panic in the city? Or is it for those people who adhere to the A person who adheres to the principle of carpe diem?"

After hearing what he said, Lloyd realized that something was wrong.

As an executioner who dealt with the aftermath at the rear, although he had not been to the front line much, he still had some understanding of the situation there.

In order to maintain the resource consumption of a giant city circle, the resource points on the periphery can be said to be dotted all over the place, and being attacked is completely commonplace.

If even this little thing could cause panic, then human cities would have collapsed long ago.

Therefore, the rapid loss of control in the City of Joy in one day is particularly strange...

Take a closer look at the bad news in the briefing. Is it really all caused by panic?
