I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 342 Chapter 341. Madness spawned by greed

The investigation team that was originally following Lloyd and the two of them trudging through the snow suddenly discovered a piece of bad news:

"Huh? One of those two people suddenly disappeared?"

"What? What do you mean by disappearing suddenly? Falling off a cliff? Which one of the two is it specifically?"

"It's the one with stronger strength, suspected to be the fifth level. My inspiration suddenly can't find him."

"Infighting?"

"It doesn't look like it. The other person's strength is only level three, and the two of them didn't fight. Maybe they activated some kind of ability? Or used some kind of sacred object or equipment? Have you heard of the kind that can break free from inspiration locks? Equipment?"

"I've heard of it, but it's very rare, and it's very precious. It means that this guy is really a wealthy young man. He came even more prepared for this trip. He must be here for the reward, otherwise he won't be able to enjoy the beautiful car and beautiful woman. Come to this damn place to drink the cold wind?"

"Damn it! They are so rich, but they insist on coming to snatch our reward. This may be just an adventure or a game for them, but they insist on snatching our life-saving straw. These rich people are really disgusting. Yes! I must hang their bodies on the street lamps!"

"Yes, I felt from the beginning that these two guys came here with bad intentions. Earlier, the third-level one pretended to be stupid with me, pretending not to know what the reward was, huh..."

But what's even more ironic is that it seems that the phenomenon of 'once a person commits evil will be punished' quickly fell upon them, and they soon received good news:

"I see. No wonder I found the spirituality of several holy objects in that boy. He must have sold his lust in exchange for it!"

This series of good news immediately gave the entire team a boost of motivation, causing them to burst out with strong motivation and mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies to maintain their forward speed.

This is not the influence of other people, nor is it the [distortion] of Lloyd, it is simply because without the protection and restraint of order and morality, the greed in the heart will no longer have any obstacles and easily defeats reason and morality. Easily give rise to vicious and evil thoughts.

It looked like a ferocious beast that had torn off the outer layer of human skin.

"Why should such a loser marry such a good woman? In my opinion, we might as well save that kid's life and then use it to blackmail his wife. Since his wife loves him so much, she definitely can't bear to watch him being tortured by us, right? ?”

"What's even more disgusting is that this kind of loser can actually marry a young, beautiful and submissive wife to him? Even in order to help him, he doesn't hesitate to confront his own father, and secretly gives him sacred objects?"

"Hey! This is a great idea! I like it!"

At first, they might not have thought that much, they just wanted to grab this important reward.

"Definitely. When I was responsible for locking it just now, I vaguely heard the third-level man begging the fifth-level man to save him, and he was willing to hand over a check of 50 million as a reward!"

"The third level's condition is even worse. He seems to be... holding his head and wailing? Like he has encountered strong mental pollution?"

But in this inaccessible wilderness, the greed in my heart seemed to have come to a comfortable greenhouse, and began to gradually take root and sprout, and became deep-rooted...

After following for a while, someone among them suddenly suggested:

"What? He still has a sacred object on him? Damn it, I have been working in this industry for ten years, and I have only seen a few rough sealed objects, and I have never even purchased a sacred object!"

"No injustice, no grudges? Taking away the bounty we used to save lives is a blood feud! Do you want to open up the front line? Do you know how many people die and go crazy there every day?"

"Uh...my inspiration is a little tired. Let's find someone else to keep an eye on them."

"Huh? I've locked onto the fifth-level one again. It seems that the equipment he uses to get rid of the inspiration lock has failed?"

"But...is there something wrong? We have no enmity with them, and there is no need to offend the family behind the rich young master, right?"

"What a good idea! If they still don't know the current affairs, it's a good place for them to encounter a little accident... And on that kind of dangerous mountain road, no matter how powerful the fifth-level one is, it will be difficult to use it. "

They couldn't wait to see this scene, hoping that Lloyd and the two would come over quickly and surrender themselves to the trap as soon as possible.

"Yes, if you don't want to die by participating in the Great Expansion, don't look forward and backward at such a critical moment. In such a ghost place, any accident may happen, and there will be no clues left, and there is no need to worry about any family members. revenge."

"It seems that these two guys encountered some kind of danger. Although they barely escaped, they also paid a heavy price. They are staying in place to rest and breathe."

"This is an excellent opportunity! Let's go around it quickly! Go to that mountain road to block them!"

The five members of the investigation team discussed together and conducted some rotations of surveillance, and their pace was also quickening.

"No, no, I heard it too. That boy is actually a freeloader. He married into a wealthy family. He has a father-in-law who runs a pig-killing farm. He is very rich!

Seeing that the plan was going well, the five people immediately started discussing happily again:

"Quick, quick, quick! Get to your places, take the time to rest, and wait for them to come to your door!"

As soon as they arrived, the person in charge of monitoring found that Lloyd and the two started to move again. They must have had enough rest and were ready to continue going up the mountain.

"That man looks so young, how can he carry so much money? Did you hear wrongly?"

"Tell me...do those two people carry a lot of money with them?"

"Well... I also found him again. His condition looks very bad and weak. Maybe the two of them are really at war with each other. Maybe it's a side effect of that special equipment?"

These people are obviously from a legal and formal investigation team. They are all extraordinary people in the legal system. They have not left any criminal records or criminal records before.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and keep an eye on the third-level one. Don't let him escape. We don't have a guide around us. If we lose him, we will be like headless flies!"

"coming!"

"That's right! Do you still remember? A little further on, there is a steep mountain road, with a cliff on the right. It is best for us to get there before those two guys. If we get in front of them... "

Although they were not attracted by 'uncle's legacy', their mentality had also changed significantly. Each of them had a fierce look on their face. Their anger towards their life circumstances and their dissatisfaction with the harsh environment were all transformed into hatred towards the people in front of them. The hostility between the two.

The more these five people chatted, the more excited they became, as if they saw a pitiful wealthy daughter with tears in her eyes standing in front of them. In order to save her lover, she wiped her tears while kneeling reluctantly in front of everyone...

But his father-in-law is not satisfied with this marriage. The 50 million is the 'divorce fee' given by his father-in-law. And he came here to take risks this time just to prove his ability to his father-in-law and to save his marriage. That He hired the fifth-level ones with this money! "

Although they were excited inside, they also maintained a minimum of calmness. The five of them continued to use inspiration alternately to lock, and they also used spiritual power very sparingly, trying to keep everyone in good condition in order to cope with the possible battle that would break out next. .

"Fifty million? Isn't this higher than our bounty? Then why should we investigate Blizzard Villa? Wouldn't it be better to just catch this fat sheep and steal the check?"

Their ideas were so strong that they quickly put them into practice——

The five members of the investigation team easily bypassed the location of Lloyd and the two and rushed to the planned mountain road.

"Huh? Why are there so many people around that kid?"

"Damn it! It's another group of extraordinary beings, and that guy bought them with money!"

"What should I do? Do you want to go?"

"What is there to hesitate about now? Don't you want that rich lady?"

"Don't be afraid. There are only five people on the other side. The fifth-level one is no longer there. He may have left because of a conflict or was killed by another group of people. But there are seven people on our side! We still have the advantage of the terrain!"

"Their strongest ones are at level four, and so are we, so there's nothing to be afraid of, just go with them!"

Soon, Lloyd and his group of five people walked onto the mountain path. Due to the rugged and dangerous terrain, the five people who originally moved together had to line up in a straight line, clinging to the cliff and climbing the mountain path carefully.

On the other side, there is a bottomless cliff. Once you lose your footing, there is no chance of survival.

After Lloyd and the five of them had walked further, they suddenly heard a low voice coming from the corner of the mountain road:

"on!"

Three people suddenly appeared around the corner, holding matchlocks in one hand and brewing their own abilities in the other, and launched a surprise attack.

Lloyd and his party obviously did not expect that there would be an ambush here. The person walking at the front was unprepared and was attacked by various abilities, and fell into the nearby cliff on the spot.

"There's an ambush! That kid actually led someone to ambush us? The members of the investigation team were bribed by him!"

"Damn it! I knew this little bastard was up to something and wanted to deal with us from the beginning!"

"Go back quickly!"

At the retreat at the back, two other people suddenly appeared and launched an attack, blocking Lloyd and his party in the middle of the road.

"No! We are surrounded!"

"Don't panic! The fifth-level ones are not here, they are no match for us!"

"Fight for that kid's fiancee!"

Although the situation was very unfavorable, Lloyd was not easy to deal with and immediately launched a counterattack on the narrow mountain road.

So a life-and-death battle broke out in this desperate place. Both sides were using all their strength, as if they had a blood feud with each other, stabbing each other until their bayonets were red, and even willing to trade their lives for their lives.

Even though the investigation team had a huge advantage, it also paid a heavy price. After the last enemy was kicked off the cliff, the leader of the fourth level was seriously injured, leaving a horrific wound on his waist. He was leaning on the cliff and panting rapidly.

"Are you still alive?"

He turned to look at the last remaining companion. That person also looked like he had exhausted all his spiritual energy. He was lying softly on the ground. His chest was rising and falling rapidly, but he still gritted his teeth and replied:

"fine……"

"Where's the kid we want to catch?"

"In the back, he has fainted from shock."

"That's okay. Our brothers did not die in vain."

The leading investigator whispered, took out a tube of healing potion from his waist, and drank it. The injury on his waist quickly stopped bleeding, and the pain was no longer unbearable. His complexion gradually improved.

He then staggered to the last companion, helped him up with difficulty, and continued:

"Don't worry, after I get that kid's money and take over his wife, I will send pensions to your parents."

"Ok?"

His companion was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was pushed off the cliff.

Whether it’s money, holy objects, or someone else’s wife, it’s definitely best to enjoy it alone…

Anyway, many people have already died, and no one will care if one more dies...

After pushing the last companion off the cliff, the investigator walked towards Lloyd, who had fainted from fear, preparing to collect the spoils of the trip.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard someone behind him whispering:

"You won't even spare your own people?"

The investigator was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there were six people in his team, and one of them was still alive?

But he didn't hesitate much, and continued to face the other party. He quietly changed the bullets for the matchlock gun in his hand, injected spiritual power into it, and continued to say:

"No, you misunderstood. In fact, this guy has always had a grudge against me. He has been secretly colluding with other investigation teams outside my back. This is why our missions always failed, and we finally fell into a debt crisis. I killed him to avenge everyone..."

As he spoke, he suddenly responded and aimed a shot at the figure behind him.

But the next second, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because he saw the bullet with spiritual power, and he held it in his hand with a gentle wave of his hand.

"You...how did you suddenly become so powerful?"

"No...no, you...who are you?"

As the investigator spoke, his eyes suddenly started to spin. The 'companions' who finally stood in front of him gradually turned into two people, and then showed the face of a fat sheep.

"You...how is that possible?"

The investigator suddenly realized something, suddenly showed a crazy expression, screamed strangely and rushed towards Lloyd.

But then, he saw the opponent pop out a matchstick with his fingers.

For a moment, he suddenly felt a coldness in his waist, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

After another second, he realized that his lower body had left his body, as if it had been split in two by a sharp sword blade, leaving a neat and smooth section.

"Ah!!!! Ah!!!!"

He suddenly screamed like crazy, the sound echoing back and forth among the mountains, and then his upper body struggled to crawl, trying to find the last straw.

But obviously, that straw cannot grow on this narrow mountain road full of blood and filth...

"Let's go."

Lloyd said coldly and turned around.

"Ugh……"

Little Olga shook her head, turned back to follow, and then asked in a low voice:

"Did you do something to them?"

Lloyd spread his hands innocently.

"I've been with you all the time. You've seen every move, haven't you?"

"But... then why did they act like they were crazy, staged this farce, and then killed each other?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the greed in their hearts that drives their madness; maybe it's because of the special environment here? You see, they made such a fuss and didn't cause an avalanche or anything."

Little Olga pursed her lips and did not continue to ask. Instead, she reached out to catch a piece of scattered snowflakes and followed the topic that Lloyd diverted:

"Maybe, the snow here is indeed unnatural."

As he spoke, he poured some spiritual power into his palm, and the snowflakes suddenly seemed to vaporize and turned into a white smoke.

This is obviously an unnatural phenomenon, indicating that these snowflakes and the wind and snow here are also part of the abnormal event.

Then this may explain why those people suddenly lost their minds and went crazy.

Although it can be explained this way, little Olga is still more inclined to think that Lloyd did something.

Because the previous scene was too weird...

Ever since he listened to Lloyd's suggestion and used a holy object that could escape other people's inspiration locks from a long distance, Lloyd was immediately locked by four sources of inspiration.

To a transcendent, this is already an act of naked hostility.

Little Olga couldn't help but feel a little worried, but Lloyd continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, not caring at all, and even deliberately slowed down a little, waiting for those people to catch up.

The inspiration locked on him is still being rotated, obviously in order to maintain his condition and prepare to take action next.

But Lloyd just smiled and told little Olga not to worry and just wait and watch the show.

So next, the two came to the narrow mountain road, and then watched the fight between the two groups a little further away, and witnessed the man from the investigation team pushing down his last surviving companion. cliff.

Although the bodies of these people have not yet begun to alienate, little Olga has no doubt that they are all crazy.

So he once suspected that Lloyd was actually involved in the "story" path, because this kind of plot was very similar to those in the "story".

But there was no sign of the activation of [Story], nor was Lloyd able to mobilize his inspiration and spiritual power.

Although little Olga himself is on the [Projection] path, his biological father is the seventh-level boss of the [Story] path. He obviously knows very much about [Story] and is confident that no one can be around him quietly. Activate [Story]

So how did Lloyd do it?

Could it be the legendary [distortion]?

It's a pity that little Olga just guessed the correct answer and rejected it on her own.

No, this is even more impossible, [Distortion]... That is definitely not a field that humans can enter.

That is the safest taboo system and will not cause any harm to society...

From this point of view, it must be the effect of a certain holy object on his body? He does carry three holy objects, one of which may have a similar effect of interfering with other people's thinking.

Little Olga had heard mention of such holy objects before.

Although this kind of holy object is very precious and is not something that a young man should hold, Lloyd has indeed shown a talent worthy of a large investment. It makes sense to give him a powerful holy object for self-defense.

Maybe it comes from the Brilliant Order, which has a great family, or maybe it comes from the more mysterious Mizkatok?

In this way, little Olga successfully convinced herself...

He didn't mind that Lloyd was hiding something, after all, no matter how close friends were, they could still keep their privacy.

What's more, the two of them had just met, and he also carried a sacred object that he had not revealed to Lloyd.

However, this kind of sacred object that could silently interfere with other people's thinking and consciousness still gave little Olga a deep awe in her heart.

I am also secretly glad that the two of them have similar interests and can be friends instead of enemies...
