Chapter 6 6. Black technology?

[Divination (LV1) - a superficial occult trick that only requires some simple props to perform. It does not yield many useful answers, but it will not lead to terrible consequences. Continue learning to improve the skill level]

Lloyd quickly checked the description of the newly acquired skill, and noticed that there was an additional line of supplementary explanation below the main description line:

"The intertwining of fiction and reality is the world you touch."

Uh……

Is this the end?Is it possible to add more content?
Just as Lloyd was cursing, he suddenly felt an itch in his head, as if he was about to grow a brain.

Then, a simple divination technique came into his mind.

Probably, you first find a medium, such as a pencil or a coin, then activate the skill, repeat the question silently in your mind, and finally rotate the pencil or toss the coin, and you can get the answer to a true-false question or the direction of a fork in the road.

Should it have a 55% accuracy rate?

This effect cannot be said to be completely useless, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.

However, Lloyd can't be said to be disappointed. After all, this skill is quite easy to acquire, and it is only LV1, so there is huge room for improvement in the future.

If only I could learn this on earth, the small guarantee wouldn't be so crooked...

Lloyd muttered something in his mind, got up and left the library.

Although it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, there were more people in the library than during the day, and Lloyd was the first to leave.

In fact, you can stay here, you just need to rent a dormitory, which can make your already poor income even worse.

But Lloyd's situation was different. He still had a sister to accompany him at home. In order not to worry her, he had to go back early.

He struggled for more than two hours when he came here in the morning, but fortunately he didn't have to be so slow when he went back.

According to the manual, it is equipped with a 'next-generation, all-weather, multi-purpose, multi-functional advanced subway network', which was built by the Holy Family Tribunal, another one of the three major tribunals, which invested a lot of resources.

It uses a large number of cutting-edge technologies and is famous for its safety, efficiency, convenience, speed and humanity. It is the brightest pearl in the industrial crown. It is currently in the trial operation stage and you can experience it for free with just your ID card.

Anyway, it sounded very powerful, and Lloyd couldn't wait to try it.

"The current level of technology in this world is still using steam engines and matchlock guns. Even electricity has not been widely popularized. How can we actually build a subway? It seems that the cult has mastered many black technologies that are beyond the times..."

Lloyd whispered as he followed the manual's guidance and found the 'subway station' in District [-].

This place didn't look like the subway station he remembered. There were no flashy advertisements or endless crowds. There was only a small hole that was not too high. It looked dark inside, a bit like an air raid shelter.

There was a priest in black guarding the outside. Seeing Lloyd coming, he first checked his ID card and then said:
"New here? Let me show you how to do it."

With that said, he led Lloyd into the dark air-raid shelter.

It was dark and damp inside, with damp walls all around, and only a few weak lights providing illumination. There was still an indescribable faint fishy smell in the air.

I don't know if it's because of the light, but Lloyd always feels like the walls around him are alive, slowly moving...

Anyway, it doesn’t look like the subway station in my impression at all, but more like the esophagus of a giant beast?

Not walking far in the cave, the two came to a relatively open and bright 'platform'. Hanging from the ceiling were a pair of pitcher plant-like sacs, green and as big as an adult. The painting style is quite like a meat joint factory, which is quite eye-catching...

"Where are you going?"

The priest asked and took out a map of the Brilliant City from his arms.

"White Rose Avenue."

"Well... we don't have an outpost there. Just go to Old Oak Street next door? It's not far away."

The priest put down the map, reached out and grabbed an iron chain, pulled the pulley, and pulled a bag in front of the two of them.He curled up two fingers again and reminded:
"Remember this frequency."

As he spoke, he tapped the surface of the bag a few times with his hand, making a muffled sound like tapping plastic.

The pouch automatically opened a slit, like a pitcher plant opening its mouth.

"Okay, let's go in."

"No...this is a little different from the 'subway' I imagined, isn't it?"

"Don't be afraid. It's very safe. You'll get used to it after sitting on it a few times."

The priest pushed Lloyd into the bag without further explanation, and then closed the opening from the outside.

It's clean and fresh inside, with nothing sticky. There are also seats so you don't have to stand all the time. It's breathable and there's no weird smell. But the visibility is very poor and you can't see what's going on outside at all.

"Are you ready? Let's start accelerating!"

Lloyd heard the priest's voice coming from outside.

The next second, he felt a strong pushing sensation on his back, his eyes went dark, and then he felt dizzy.

About 10 minutes later, a black wardrobe in the corner suddenly opened its door and Lloyd was spit out.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Lloyd coughed violently and almost fell to the ground. His ears were buzzing and he felt like his soul had left his body. He couldn't even hear the system prompts clearly.

[Ding~Insanity value +50, skill fragment +1]

Fortunately, someone next to him gave him a hand in time.

"the first time?"

The man said and kindly handed over a tissue.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lloyd waited for a while before standing up straight, and found that he had arrived at a simple little church.

Standing next to him was a smiling priest of the order. His uniform was somewhat similar to Lloyd's, but it was white and the style was closer to traditional robes.

"here it is……"

"The splendid church on Old Oak Street, your Inquisition prefers to call it the 'Outpost'."

"Thank you for your help. My name is Lloyd, the new executor today."

"My name is Ma De, a psychotherapist. I welcome you to join our big family. I wish you a bright future. You can come to me at any time if you need it in the future."

"Thank you. May the bright light be with you forever."

Lloyd exchanged a few words with Pastor Mader, and his body was almost recovered, so he said goodbye and left.

When he walked out of the small church, he saw that it was indeed the old Oak Street he was familiar with, just a few hundred meters away from his home.

Counting the time spent up front, it only takes 20 minutes to get home, which is much faster than a normal commute.

When he and his sister first moved here, Lloyd didn't expect that it would be in a prime location 'near the subway'?
