I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 626 628. Could this thing be ‘alive’?

Since the topic has come to this point, Lloyd had no choice but to cough twice, clear his throat, and then tell the story of how he killed an ancient mushroom god deep in the ancient military base.

Then he looked at the astonished and surprised faces of the crowd, and still felt a little proud in his heart.

The ‘audience’ changed for several minutes before they spoke in a flurry of emotions and questions.

"I used to think that you were only a little bit better than me, and even worse than me in terms of emotions. You don't even have a beautiful girl around you, but you can actually kill gods? Damn it! You didn't tell me such an important thing?"

"Although I believe that you didn't lie to me, Lloyd, but this result is really... Sorry... I need to digest it again."

"That's a god! A real god who is high above! No matter how weak he is, it is difficult for us humans to reach him, right? Has Professor Lloyd surpassed the level of humans? Is he no longer a human?"

"Why do you sound like you are scolding me?"

"No matter how exaggerated or unimaginable it is, Professor Lloyd has personally proved that gods are not unkillable, and they will also fall! So if it is really a god who caused our current suffering, maybe we can do it too?"

"What I don't understand the most is why Professor Lloyd is so low-key about this matter? If I killed an ancient god, I would definitely let the newspaper report the headlines for three days!"

"How can three days be enough? If it were me, it would be reported for at least a year!"

Seeing that the topic had begun to turn in a strange direction, Lloyd quickly made a "hands down" gesture, indicating that everyone should be quiet for a while.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's get back to the topic... In short, with the fall of that ancient god, there will be no such thing as karma demons in this world..."

As he was talking, his good buddy Toledo couldn't help but interrupt:

"By analogy, if we can kill the gods behind those monsters, will the monsters and mental pollution disappear?"

I think I'd better kill you first!

Lloyd muttered inwardly.

Monsters are humans who have been ‘restored’ or ‘reverted’. Mental pollution is actually the last layer of protection in this world, ensuring that the creatures in the world will not be completely exterminated in the face of a higher level of power.

Such a truth is really heavy and cruel. Lloyd does not plan to make it public in the short term. Otherwise, if this matter is not handled properly, it will be a crisis of cognitive collapse for all mankind, and the entire human civilization may collapse as a result.

Lloyd dare not imagine that his relatives, friends, lovers and wife will all turn back into monsters...

If he wants to make the truth public, he can only consider it after everything is settled and humans rebuild civilization.

It is even a safer choice to keep it as a secret forever and hide it in his heart forever.

So he could only say something about Toledo's statement:

"Spiritual pollution is just a natural phenomenon, and monsters are also special creatures produced under this natural phenomenon. There is no big hand of gods behind them. If you want to solve this, the only feasible route at present is the 'purification of the abyss' I proposed, so... let's not talk about these, let's get back to the present..."

In order to prevent Toledo, this unreliable guy, from interrupting again, he continued to explain his point of view without stopping:

"Based on the current situation, I speculate that the self-discipline array, and even the micro-robots under its command, and the mechanical soldiers made by it, have also shown different degrees of 'demonization' phenomenon!"

"If we had not come here today, but earlier, then the ones who besieged us before would probably be countless demons..."

As soon as these words were said, even a strong man like Professor Latio couldn't help but frown.

If the super-wide and grand warehouse before was filled with layers of demons, the picture would make people shudder just thinking about it...

Fortunately, the demons are gone.

Fortunately, the engineering department had not thought about exploring the old school district because space technology was not advanced enough. Otherwise, without Lloyd, Professor Latio could not imagine how to deal with this level of demons.

If this group of things ran into the real world again...

"Of course, demons are a kind of monsters produced by the combination of biology and machinery. Judging from the degree of demonization on the two mechanical soldiers, they should not be as exaggerated as the ordinary demons."

"But even so, they may have a certain degree of "contamination" and are no longer the things recorded in the literature..."

"Although they have not shown too much hostility to us for the time being, no one knows whether these iron-headed people will have any new ideas, and it is unclear whether they can be controlled. Maybe they will suddenly hit their foreheads and make up an anti-organic equation or something, which will be troublesome..."

Lloyd continued to speak, and then raised two fingers.

"I'm currently considering two follow-up plans—"

"One is that I use a space storm to completely destroy the entire old school district. No matter what is hidden inside, let it sink forever in the alien space."

"Of course, the price is that we will lose the powerful autonomous array forever, and also lose a large number of mechanical soldiers who are made with the best workmanship..."

"As for the second plan, it is to find a way to break the current situation and find a way to re-control the autonomous array."

Although Lloyd gave two plans, no one, including himself, should be willing to choose the simple and crude first one, right?

That is really a waste, and it is tantamount to a crime for today's human civilization.

The second plan is not within Lloyd's control, and it depends on how hard the engineering department works.

This group of slackers gives people a feeling that they are not very reliable...

So after proposing the plan, Lloyd stopped talking and planned to listen to what the four professors had to say.

"Anyway, let's try it. The autonomous array that can still operate is too precious to us. If it is destroyed like this, the coffins of the ancestors of the department will definitely not be able to hold it down."

Toledo took the lead in expressing his opinion.

The remaining old professors also nodded one after another.

"Well, we have to try anyway. Give us some time to study it carefully. We will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Okay, as long as you have this attitude, it will be fine.

Lloyd nodded secretly in his heart.

……………………

So, the exploration activities were suspended.

It is not accurate to say this. It should be said that the exploration of the core storage area was suspended.

Lloyd and the medical team did not go fishing. Instead, they used this time to go to the outer living area and visit the library area.

The exploration process of these areas was much more thrilling.

As soon as Lloyd and his team landed, they were welcomed by a large group of "seniors" who rushed over with roars and roars.

Fortunately, they were just monsters. There was a battle-hardened medical team. Lloyd could only play auxiliary and help control them at most. These "seniors" all died tragically under the axe and sword of these doctors.

Lloyd deliberately didn't take the initiative to "rob monsters", and he didn't even bother to stick "Aho-go" on people's foreheads. He just let them turn on the "eliminate mental pollution" function on the new mobile phone, and the madness value was automatically credited.

This is very comfortable, just like hanging up.

The library area is even more "exciting". As soon as he landed, a large number of "book pages" rushed towards him, and the madness value soared.

It's a pity that Lloyd's current [rationality] is too high, and the space in this library area is too messy. It can't cause any substantial threat, and it will only make Lloyd dislike why there are so few?

Fortunately, he is familiar with the people in the history department and has learned their way of recycling taboo knowledge. So he took out a large number of lead boxes from the storage bag and recycled the floating parts one by one.

This knowledge is still quite useful. There are quite a few records about the self-discipline array among them, which makes Lloyd know more about this heirloom.

However, the space in these areas was too fragmented. The overlapping space cracks and turbulence gave Lloyd a headache. It was impossible for one person to clear them out, and he didn't have 'Palu' to use.

In short, Lloyd's gains were limited due to the fragmented space environment of the living area and the library area.

In the end, he only managed to upgrade to level 200 and got 1,000 attribute points, which he evenly distributed.

[Ding~ Adding points completed]

[User: Lloyd]

[Status: ? ? ? ]

[Madness value: 9/50000, upper limit: 10500000]

[Rationality: 10500]

[Spiritual power: 10500]

[Inspiration: 10500]

[Cognition: 10500]

[System: Distortion LV7, Denial LV7, Delusion]

On the contrary, because [Space Domination] was used too much during this period, it was magically upgraded to level 1, and now it is already level 11.

Unfortunately, it did not unlock new spatial gameplay, but only strengthened and improved the original foundation, allowing Lloyd to open the portal faster and control the spatial storm more accurately.

But it is still one of the biggest gains of this trip.

Although the current gains are not much, there are still some discoveries.

Among them, Lloyd is a little worried and a little scared-

The "predecessors" in the living area, they all have no spine...

Although the form has been mutated to the point of being unhuman, Lloyd has dealt with so many out-of-control people before and after, and their basic physiological structure still exists.

Even if the heart has been twisted into a flower, even if the spine has been mutated into a mess, it still exists. If the anatomical knowledge is rich enough, it can still be recognized what it used to be.

But the spines of these "predecessors" were all completely stripped out by people with an extremely precise method that even Lloyd was ashamed of.

Lloyd can basically be sure that the only thing that can make him ashamed in the dissection project is the self-discipline array that is said to be infinitely close to 0 loss.

The withered flesh and nerve bundles found on the two mechanical soldiers before, no surprise, came from this...

It should be after the disaster that the entire engineering school district was completely out of control, but the space at that time was not as broken as it is today, and then the autonomous array began its precise surgical operation...

Then from the timeline, it is probably not that the mutation occurred later, but that it became unfamiliar at an earlier time point...

So the question is, did this thing develop wisdom and self-awareness?

Lloyd was a little skeptical.

But no matter what the professors said, or the historical documents of the college, or some research reports and experimental records that Lloyd found in the library area, all three aspects said that the autonomous array only had simple intelligence to execute commands, and its intelligence level was not as good as those stupid things made by Toledo.

Even the engineering department in the past conducted many experiments to make it smarter, but all ended in failure...

What also puzzled and puzzled Lloyd was that the engineering department in the past was still trying to figure out the principle and structure of this thing, and tried to replicate it?

This made people confused. Isn’t this thing your heirloom? You don’t even know how it was made?

Then how did it come from?

For this question, Lloyd’s newly found documents could not answer it, and the college could not give a clear answer.

They only knew that the self-discipline array was jointly made by several respected old professors at the time. Not long after it was completed, several old professors passed away one after another.

Even the reason for their death was very strange, and there was no clear explanation.

Some said that the self-discipline array they made was too great, which angered a certain high-level existence and secretly killed them.

Some believed that they were not dead, but just chose to sacrifice their souls to the array and became a part of the array forever.

There is even a conspiracy theory that they fought for honor and control of the array, and finally died together.

Anyway, no matter which statement it is, Lloyd doesn't believe it.

Those professors back then were much stronger than they are now, how could they die so easily?

There are too many loopholes and it is not rigorous at all.

Even so, the powerful performance of the self-discipline array still benefits later generations a lot, and they can't let it go.

Although I don't understand the principle and the reason why the professors died, the thing is really too easy to use and I can't do without it.

In short, they were just researching and enjoying themselves like this, until the disaster suddenly came.

However, according to the timeline that Lloyd had re-examined, the autonomous array might not be as pure as the people in the engineering department thought, nor was it really without intelligence.

He even had a sudden speculation -

Could this thing be "alive" from the beginning?
