I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 43 43. But that's all
The [bottleneck period] of an extraordinary person is a common phenomenon, usually characterized by stagnant strength, inability to master abilities, difficulty in acquiring knowledge, etc.

The reasons for the bottleneck are also many and complex. It may be that the ability that can be mastered at this stage has come to an end, and it is necessary to "detach" again and go to a deeper level of the system; it may also be that the mental state is poor, the learning ability is poor, and you are unable to master more. knowledge and abilities.

When we had dinner together before, Wei Ya mentioned that she encountered a bottleneck three years ago, and later adjusted her mentality through swordsmanship. It took a long time to gradually overcome it.

But that was something she only encountered after becoming a transcendent for several years. It is probably rare for someone like Lloyd to encounter a bottleneck within a month of starting.

"My situation should be the first one. I need to go through [transcendence] to find a breakthrough, but the system I'm in...sigh~ Why did I go astray in the first place?"

Lloyd was sitting in his single office, flipping through the "Overview of the Extraordinary System" in his hand and summarizing in a low voice.

Although the official promotion ceremony has not yet been held, he is already performing his duties as an executioner in advance and executing -3-level monsters every day. He can naturally enjoy the benefits of this position. Not only does he have a room similar to Wei Ya's The standard single-person office allows you to borrow books from the library and read them, which is much more convenient and comfortable.

After reading for a while, Lloyd closed the book and asked himself:
"Am I just going to have to try to get involved in the [veto] system? Make a twist to save the country?"

According to the introduction in this book, it is not uncommon to get involved in two extraordinary systems at the same time, but that is mostly the choice made by high-ranking extraordinary people when they are really 'desperate' -

After these powerful people have [transcended] 7 or 8 times in the original system, it is too difficult to go further. They have broken away from the scope of hard work and entered the stage of fighting for talent and luck. The difficulty is no less than ten consecutive perfections. Five stars in life.

For this reason, they have to try other systems to find a kind of 'resonance' or 'complementarity' in order to achieve a breakthrough.

But this is a very risky move even for high-ranking bosses. In today's context, the more knowledge you receive, the faster you are likely to go crazy.

Lloyd is not afraid of going crazy, but he is a little afraid of the veto saint...

According to the book, when you learn the various knowledge and abilities of the [Veto] system, you will have a special connection with the saint, and you will be observed and noticed at any time. It is a bit like being in a classroom and you are a student below. , the saint is the teacher above.

Although the Saint is not a god and cannot notice everyone, no one knows whether she will notice herself.

Once a flaw is exposed in front of her and his identity is exposed, it may not end well, and he may not even be given a chance to explain...

"It seems that the idea of ​​​​saving the country through curves is not stable. Let's think about it again."

Lloyd finally shook his head and looked at a set of silver-gray uniforms hanging in the corner of the office.

There will be a formal promotion ceremony tomorrow, which will be presided over by the presiding judge who is indistinguishable between humans and ghosts. He needs to put on this new uniform to attend and officially become an executioner.

Instead of feeling excited, Lloyd was worried about the future.

"If you want to survive in the Holy Inquisition in the future, you probably won't be able to do it without contacting the [veto] system. It may be fine in the short term, but it's hard to say if it takes a long time..."

"For now, it's better to calm down and keep adding more. Maybe one day you'll get a surprise?"

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

That night, Lloyd practiced swordsmanship as usual and didn't prepare to go home until the sun went down.

Although there are no skill fragments, the effect of strengthening the body is still there, and it is worth practicing.

He went to take the subway home, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he heard a series of coughing and vomiting sounds.

Immediately afterwards, there was another roar full of madness and despair... Did this dirty subway finally kill someone?
The first reaction in Lloyd's mind was this.

The next second, he saw a figure staggering out of the hole.

The man was wearing a black uniform of a priest, and his body was still in the category of a normal human being, except that the entire head was split in two along the center of the eyebrows and the tip of the nose, and a lot of wildly twisting tentacles came out of it.

runaway...

As soon as the other party saw Lloyd, he was like a traveler seeing a treasure chest. He let out a piercing scream and rushed towards him quickly.

Behind him, there was a man dressed as a hunter from the Holy Court, who was holding on to the wall and dragging himself out with difficulty. When he saw the out-of-control man rushing towards Lloyd, he quickly shouted:
"Cough cough cough cough! Run! Cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

As he spoke, he reluctantly raised the flintlock gun in his hand, pointed it at the back of the out-of-control man, and pulled the trigger.

Unfortunately, the accuracy was so bad that I couldn't even trace the edge. I could only watch the out-of-control man rush in front of Lloyd and cursed anxiously:

"Damn it...cough cough...why don't you run? Ahem...are you scared to death?"

Lloyd did not dodge, but still stood there, as if he was really frightened.

But his right hand had already grasped the dagger at his waist, adjusted it to the best angle, and casually said some vulgar words:
"Beep beep beep~"

The person who lost control suddenly froze on the spot, motionless, and even the scream that could spread mental pollution stopped.

Lloyd used [Offensive Speech], and the effect was outstanding!

While the opponent was stunned, Lloyd pulled out the short sword from his waist and injected spiritual power, causing circles of water-like lines to appear on the blade.

Then skillfully take half a step forward, turn sideways, bend down, lower your shoulders, and twist your body to lift.

A bright silver arc cut through the night, passing by the out-of-control man.

A bright red blood line instantly appeared on the person who lost control, extending diagonally from his ribs to his shoulders.

Following a spurt of blood mist, the upper body that had transformed into a monster slowly slid to the ground, while the lower body that still barely maintained a human form slowly knelt down, as if repenting to Lloyd.

Lloyd sheathed his sword and then slowly shook his head, showing a slightly disappointed look.

"Even without the suppression of rituals, it's nothing more than this. Just one knife is enough to solve..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he drew out the dagger again, stabbed the upper body that had been transformed a few times, and then used inspiration to confirm that there was no sign of life at all, and then he felt relieved.

Although this kind of out-of-control person who has just fallen has not completely transformed into a monster, and his vitality is not that tenacious, we must not give him the slightest chance of resurrecting!
After all, his daily job is to make last hits.
