I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 81 80. This shouldn’t be a coincidence (fourth update, please subscribe)

Lloyd stood up abruptly, activated [Exploration] again, and looked at the sobbing woman in front of him.

As expected, he was already in a state of [mild madness]...

There is only a pitiful 1 point in the four attributes, which is weaker than ordinary people, so the symptoms displayed are more serious than those of Wei Ya and Metis.

Just as Lloyd was thinking about contacting the mental hospital, an uncle dressed as a chef suddenly rushed in from outside, grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the door.

After Lloyd followed him out, he heard the chef sigh and shake his head.

"Oh... you are her husband's colleague, right?"

"Well... yes."

"Then please, for the sake of her husband, don't visit her anymore, don't bring her any news, just let her stay as she is. With the help of our neighbors, she can still act like an ordinary person. Live."

"This... where are the couple's relatives and friends?"

"Ugh……"

The chef just sighed and didn't answer directly.

Lloyd then turned to ask:

"Then should we send her to a mental hospital?"

"We tried, but right there, she lost two of her children..."

The chef said with a helpless smile and explained:
"Actually, her symptoms are not as serious as you think, and she learned the bad news very early. She just used this method to keep herself alive after losing everything... Look, she took good care of herself. I also run the flower shop very well.”

Lloyd turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Anna in the flower shop, and found that she had stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and started holding the baby again, singing nursery rhymes softly, continuing her imagination, and continuing her life.

"I know, I won't bother her again."

Lloyd nodded vigorously.

Then I went to a post office on the corner of the street, bought an envelope and stamps, filled them out in a decent manner, and stuffed the check into them.

It’s better to keep the rest of the letter and the black knight for yourself...

Lloyd then went to the roadside to find a newsboy, gave him a tip, and then watched the newsboy deliver the letter to Mrs. Anna.

"Wow! Look, baby, daddy has sent money back! Lots and lots of money, and daddy really didn't forget us..."

Mrs. Anna said happily and smiled happily.

Even if it's false, it's what she needs.

Lloyd then left silently.

When he walked out of the subway entrance in the [-]th arrondissement, he found that Wei Ya was not waiting for him outside.

After all, today is half an hour later than usual...

Lloyd could understand, but there was still an inexplicable feeling of emptiness in his heart.

weird...

But when he arrived at Tower No. [-], he saw Wei Ya standing in front of the office door, constantly looking at the door.

Somehow, Lloyd couldn't help but laugh again.

He quickly approached and took out the little kitten and put it into Wei Ya's hand.

But Wei Ya said somewhat bluntly:
"I thought you wouldn't come today. After all, you have performed an important mission and should have an extra day of rest."

Lloyd still smiled and said:
"If you want to take a rest, I will tell you in advance... By the way, with my current rank, can I check the personnel files of the [-]th District?"

"You can check part of it, but it cannot exceed your rank. You have to go to the Archives Management Office over at Tower No. [-]..."

Wei Ya spoke businesslikely at first, and then suddenly realized something. She stared at Lloyd with a pair of beautiful big eyes and asked seriously:

"You don't have any dangerous ideas, do you?"

"How is that possible? I have always been a patient and cautious young man."

Lloyd said, but involuntarily looked away and looked at Wei Ya's office.

As a result, she happened to see a small toy on her neatly tidied desk that affected the neatness——

A simple spring toy, it looks like a cartoon bear, and the production process is simple and rough.

So Lloyd looked at Wei Ya's beautiful eyes again, and added seriously:

"Don't worry, I won't mess around anymore."

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

After parting ways with Wei Ya, Lloyd followed his usual practice and completed his own work first.

I came late today. All the keys to the -2nd floor were taken away, and there was only a solitary one on the -3rd floor left on the notice board.

Lloyd didn't mind it, so he took it off and left.

[Ding~Insanity value +300]

After finishing the work, he went to the archives management office mentioned by Wei Ya, found the administrator, and applied for access to the files of the executor Stillot.

In the end, I got it very smoothly?
But he is not allowed to take it away, and can only check it here.But Lloyd read through several pages of files, but didn't find what he needed.

There is only Stilot's life resume and a brief record of his missions and promotions in the system.

The final record stopped at the step where he applied for the ritual materials to be promoted from the third level to the fourth level.

Then came a cold statement:

"It has been deemed missing and compensation has been paid to relatives."

Thinking monster, damn it!

Lloyd gritted his teeth in his heart.

Maybe I am the only one left in the world who still remembers this respected executioner...

While he was thinking this, he suddenly felt something strange coming from his pocket.

He quickly left the archives management office, quickly returned to his office, and then reached out and took out the black knight.

Did you find that the spirituality above was suddenly a little stronger than yesterday?

Normally, spirituality will only become weaker and weaker, and it is very rare for it to suddenly become stronger.

This reminded Lloyd of his sister's hammerhead shark doll.

Most of the time, it's just an ordinary puppet.

Only when Lloyd uses [Media Divination] can he exude some spirituality.

So...the Black Knight is actually a divination medium?The 'life-saving straw' that Stillot wants to leave for himself is not the chess piece itself, but the person behind the divination?

But why didn't Stillot just say it?Instead, choose to leave a riddle?
And this guy who performs divination, if he is a friend or relative of Stillot, he can visit him directly. Why does he use such an obscure method as divination?

Even if the other party's thoughts are the same as mine, and they want to keep an eye on other people's situations through divination, but Stillot has been missing for a year, so he must have come to a conclusion long ago. There is no reason to rush it today, right?
This obviously can't be a coincidence...

Lloyd vaguely felt something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't grasp a specific 'thread'.

That being the case...

Lloyd then rushed to the library, found a few books related to occultism, and focused on some knowledge related to divination.

He remembered that medium divination can be forward or backward, and it can be traced back to who is doing the divination.

Relying on [Efficient Learning] and high [Cognition] values, Lloyd first spent a few hours memorizing the [Reverse Divination] method like a wolf, and obtained several corresponding skill fragments.

But it was obvious that he had not fully mastered it, could not figure it out, and the corresponding [Divination] skill had not been upgraded, so he stopped and seemed to be dabbling in it.

But this is exactly the state he wants.

Lloyd then returned to his office, locked the door, and respectfully took the saint's statue out from the depths of the filing cabinet and placed it in front of his desk.

Then he took out the notes given by the butler and reviewed the part about divination.

As a high-level PVP player, Butler Randolph is also proficient in divination and has used this skill to punish several criminals.

And also summarized three principles for safe divination——

One is that it must be done under the witness and protection of a saint, so as to avoid divination of those inexplicable things to the greatest extent.

Secondly, you must be patient enough and don't be anxious. At the beginning, use the simplest and most basic divination method and ask some simple questions that do not have clear direction. After confirming that there is no danger, you can then go deeper. Finally, a clear goal is set.

This process takes at least a day. If you encounter someone who is very cunning and knows how to guard against and resist divination, it may be slower and take several days.

The third thing is that you must not be brave and do not forcefully pursue the results. Once you do not get the answer every time, or there are dangerous signs, then give up the divination immediately and look for other methods.

Through these three principles, we can clearly feel the steward's reverence and caution towards divination.

So Lloyd didn't finish learning [Reverse Divination], keeping it in a simple and basic state, and then started trying it.

He placed the black knight in front of the statue of the saint, and then according to the knowledge taught in the book, while shaking the ancient pocket watch, he kept asking:

"Is this a divination medium? Is this a divination medium?"

If the result could be obtained, the pocket watch would defy physics, hovering diagonally to the left or right of the Black Knight to indicate 'yes' or 'no'.

However, the pocket watch ended up hovering in the middle and failed to wake up the sages of physics from their coffins.

This shows that divination is fruitless.

It may be that Royd is not good at studying, or it may be other reasons...

Although he was a little reluctant, Lloyd still chose to follow the butler's 'advice' and give up.

The housekeeper was so high-spirited and arrogant when he was young, but he was also so careful and cautious when dealing with divination. Of course, Lloyd would not be pushy.

I just don’t know what the opponent can know through divination...

For the sake of security and privacy, and to prevent someone from opening the box inexplicably, Lloyd made the most prudent choice——

He wrote an anonymous letter, briefly saying that someone was using this thing to monitor an executioner of the Holy Inquisition, and then sent it to the Holy Court of Grace together with the Black Knight.

In this way, no matter who is behind the divination, it has nothing to do with him, and this matter should be brought to a complete end, right?
