I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 276 Chapter 275. Battle in the forest

This is said to be a storage area, but in fact there is no specific warehouse. All kinds of freshly cut logs are simply stacked together to form high hills.

The original ground was completely covered with scattered bark and various debris. When you step on it, there is a strange softness, unevenness, and ups and downs. From time to time, there will be a crisp sound of 'clicking', as if it is broken. what.

Lloyd just took a few steps and felt like he was standing on a pool of dark flesh.

There was an indescribable smell in the air, like the stench of corruption.

There was no one around, and only the noise of sawing wood could be heard coming from a distance.

Lloyd walked cautiously through the piles of logs, thinking about it in his mind.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around, the problem actually lies with the lumberyard?

And it's so hidden that without the reminder from the panel, you wouldn't even notice it.

Fortunately, I got involved, otherwise low-intensity and low-frequency mental pollution like this would be difficult for ordinary people to notice, let alone extraordinary beings, which would be almost impossible to detect.

Lloyd was thinking like this while continuing to explore forward in the direction of his inspiration.

Suddenly, his inspiration noticed some movement behind him, and he quickly hid behind a pile of logs.

Looking back again, with the help of the perspective effect of inspiration, I saw two workers dragging two huge snakeskin sacks into the storage area.

The two looked serious and said nothing, seeming to express their hard work.

The snakeskin sack behind him was quite heavy and could only be dragged along the ground, making a swishing sound.

Looks like you just came here to store something?

Lloyd thought for a while, reached out and touched his chest, confirming that he was wearing the little vest, and then activated [Enhanced Detection] to take a look at the attribute status of the two people.

The result surprised him slightly.

Is he already in a state of [moderate madness]?

This should definitely be admitted to a mental hospital...

As for attributes, [Rationality], [Spiritual Power], and [Cognition] are all very low, just single digits for ordinary people, but [Inspiration] is actually around 20 points?

What kind of weird attribute is this?

Mental patients think broadly, so [inspiration] is high?

As for the system and threat level, they are both blank, indicating that they are just ordinary people and pose no danger to themselves.

And the value of this [Inspiration] is also within the coverage of the little vest. I am a complete stranger to them, so I meet the conditions of being 'out of the world'.

So Lloyd tried to get out from behind the log pile.

A worker seemed to notice something and suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Lloyd.

But in his field of vision, the place was empty, not even a single person could be seen, so he scratched his head and continued walking deeper into the storage area.

Lloyd nodded secretly, then touched the men's square ring on his finger a few times, activated the effect of [Pupillary of Wisdom], making the world a little more colorful, and then followed quietly.

Under the various dyes of the [Puillary of Wisdom], Lloyd could see that these workers were covered with a layer of dull dead gray instead of the vibrant light green of ordinary people, making them look lifeless.

As for the snakeskin sacks they were dragging in their hands, they exuded a strange dark red color, looking strange and evil.

This is obviously problematic...

But I wonder what it has to do with the father who loves to dig graves?

With doubts in mind, Lloyd kept his distance from the two workers and quietly followed them for a few minutes, arriving deeper into the storage area.

Until the two workers came to an open area surrounded by several large piles of logs, they shrank slightly and disappeared.

The weak mental pollution that Lloyd felt came from the area where the two disappeared.

Two ordinary people just disappeared. Is there some kind of space portal hidden here?

Lloyd did not dare to approach directly. He could only use inspiration to test it repeatedly, but other than the weak mental pollution, he did not notice anything.

I have to contact my three teammates as soon as possible!

Lloyd did not choose to take risks alone, but chose a safer way to shake people.

After all, according to the experience taught by the butler in that PVP manual, the three indicators that have the greatest impact on victory or defeat in PVP are rank, number of people, and equipment.

If you want to line up with others, you must either be able to crush them at a higher level, or you must shake people up and join them together, or you must have a "six-level divine equipment".

He has never engaged in 'fair competition' or 'equal duel'. This kind of PVP activity involving human lives is all about crushing the game.

However, Lloyd can't contact his three temporary teammates at the moment. They should still be wandering around the forest area.

We can only wait until seven o'clock in the evening, after everyone gathers.

Lloyd took out his pocket watch and looked at it. He had come and gone, and the time was almost six o'clock, so he didn't need to wait too long.

So he took advantage of the 'out of the world' effect of the little vest to check other areas here, as well as the entire lumberyard, and when he saw people, he threw [Enhanced Detection] at them.

The result was naturally unexpected among the unexpected.

Not surprisingly, except for the place where the two workers suddenly disappeared, there were no problems in other areas.

This lumberyard must have been inspected by three investigators. None of them found anything unusual, and certainly not Lloyd. But what is surprising is that almost all the workers here are ordinary people, but have particularly outstanding [inspiration].

And they are all in [moderate madness], and their bodies are all lingering in that dim death gray color.

It looks weirder than a mental hospital...

But what's even weirder is that they can still work like normal workers. Apart from saying nothing, there are no signs of mental illness in their behavior.

So maybe the problem is not the father who loves to dig graves, but the workers here, that is, other residents of the small mountain village?

A bold guess suddenly came to Lloyd's mind.

Maybe in the early stages of the incident, the gravekeeper who suddenly disappeared and the passionate young man who tried to dissuade the father were not killed by the father, but were killed by these people?

It is even possible that these three people are the only three normal people left in this village...

And could the descriptions of events he heard be all rumors fabricated by these crazy villagers in order to eliminate dissidents?

The villagers killed two normal people. Maybe the remaining father had something to rely on. The villagers couldn't do anything about him for the time being, so they started spreading rumors and calling the police, trying to use external forces to solve this last one?

Lloyd thought wildly, and then thought of another development.

Of course, it is also possible that my guess is completely opposite. Maybe the father really has great powers and controls the villagers here through some means?

But this cannot explain the rumors that spread. If the suspect is really capable, there is no reason to attract outside forces to target him.

By the way, where is the supervisor?

He should know something, right?

But why can't I see anyone?

Lloyd found that after walking around the entire lumberyard, he could not find the warm and polite supervisor from before.

While he was thinking about this person, he suddenly noticed that two villagers not far away from him had inexplicably dropped what they were doing. Then they picked up the logging ax and chainsaw and walked directly to the outer forest area.

But no one said a word, no one called them, and no one discussed what they were going to do.

Could it be...

Lloyd quickly followed quietly and walked in the direction chosen by the previous scholar Kandin.

Then, before he had gone far, his inspiration noticed a stirring aura in the air, which was the movement of an extraordinary person releasing his power.

A few more touches of light blue appeared in the field of vision in front of him.

After walking in that direction for a while, I heard someone talking.

"Please give up resistance. It is no longer possible for your friends to come to help you. They may not be able to protect themselves now, and the [Salvation] system you are in is actually not very suitable for this kind of one-on-one battle. It cannot be me. opponent...

Of course, I will still never harm your life as I promised before. "

It was actually the supervisor that Lloyd wanted to talk to?

Then, he heard another angry curse from scholar Kandin:

"Haha, go to hell, don't think that the [Redemption] department is easy to bully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lloyd suddenly felt that the spiritual power fluctuations in the air became turbulent and violent.

But the supervisor still said calmly:

"Oh? Do you plan to use your own life to [redeeve] my sins? Alas... This is really regrettable. Why can't we understand us? Reason is just a cage that restrains us, and cognition is just a shackle that hinders us... …

This is not [criminal karma], but the future we should move towards, and the destiny we humans should have.

You may wish to join us in embracing madness and following greatness! "

Unfortunately, the response was a gunshot.

The scholar Kandin standing opposite him looked like his skin was red and hot, as if a fire was ignited in his body and burning himself.

He held an old-style flintlock gun in his hand. The entire gun was covered with a layer of orange-red flames. The bullets spurting out from it were also burning and were being guided by Kandin's inspiration and flew towards the direction. The forehead of the supervisor opposite.

But the supervisor just smiled evilly and casually stretched out two fingers to catch the high-speed bullet.

"I said before, your attacks pose no threat to me. Only by embracing madness and following greatness can we gain real power!"

As he spoke, with a little force of his fingers, the projectile shattered into a smattering of shards.

Neither the kinetic energy of the bullet nor the flames burning on it caused any harm to him.

The face of Kang Ding opposite him suddenly became extremely ugly...

But something strange is that the supervisor, who was clearly taking the absolute initiative, suddenly became extremely ugly...

"Uh...wait...this is..."

The supervisor felt that his vision suddenly blurred, and then he saw scholar Kandin's figure suddenly swelled.

Then it turned into a monster that was eight meters tall, with broad arms and a round waist, and was covered in massive muscles?
