I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 378 377. Will we be in danger?

Do I still have to learn [Prophecy] just for this thing?

An idea came to Lloyd's mind, but he shook his head again and again.

He is really not too keen on this file...

Let’s leave it for now and talk about it later when we have time.

Lloyd then closed the "Book of Truth" in his mind and opened the panel to take a look.

No matter whether it is attributes, skill levels, or reading progress, there is no change...

He couldn't help but pursed his lips. He felt that he couldn't say that the intellectual saint was not generous enough. The gift was obviously very precious, but unfortunately it was not suitable for him at this stage.

Lloyd was about to put this matter aside and see what the crystal sheet given by the saint was about, but at this moment, he felt a spiritual vibration coming from his storage bag.

He quickly reached in and touched it, and happened to catch the rusty key that the cheap uncle had given him before.

The key, which originally had no special response no matter how hard it was, was now emitting a little warm heat and spirituality, vaguely pointing to the "Book of Destiny" that Lloyd had just acquired, or it could also be said that the "Future Title Page"

Even some scattered fragments of knowledge in his mind became active under the influence of this spirituality.

"This is……"

Lloyd felt something in his heart, so he held the rusty key tightly with his hand, then opened "Future Page" again and touched it lightly in his mind.

A line of ink gradually appeared on the previously unresponsive page, and then began to flow on its own, as if an invisible pen was writing the next answer about the future.

After about a few seconds, the ink stopped, and a strange pattern appeared on the title page, along with a line of text.

The pattern looks like a crescent moon, but the curvature and edges are not very regular, and it also looks like a fish bent into a crescent shape.

The lines of text next to it were even weirder. They were all in ancient language that Lloyd couldn't understand, and were translated into some meaningless words by the "Book of Truth":

‘From the Sky, Unicorn, Street, Death, 42, Spiral Staircase, Sing, Destruction’

This makes no sense?

Lloyd was wondering what this picture meant, and felt that the key in his hand gradually lost its previous temperature, turning into a rusty ordinary key again.

The content on the title page also quickly turned yellow and faded, as if it could not withstand the passage of time, and returned to a blank.

Lloyd then scratched his head again, feeling that something was missing from his mind.

It's not that those important memories or knowledge are missing, but those messy, seemingly useful, but fragmented and clueless pieces of knowledge are gone.

These scattered fragments mainly come from the last library archaeological operation, when a lot of them ran into Royd's mind, and some of them are some knowledge that Royd received randomly when he met the saint.

Anyway, it is of no use, but it is not swept into the 'recycle bin', which is quite annoying.

Lloyd originally planned to find a lucky person to use [offensive words] to clean up all these useless debris, but he never found the opportunity.

As a result, it happened to be cleaned up today, which made him feel much lighter and refreshed.

Who would have thought that this key could actually be linked to "Future Title Page"?

Is there still a past between my cheap uncle and "Future Title Page"?

But it seems that the key needs to be activated with those useless knowledge as "pen and ink"?

Lloyd couldn't help but laugh.

This is obviously great. I used to be very annoyed by the useless knowledge in my mind, but it couldn't be put into the recycling bin. It made me quite uncomfortable at one time. Now that I can recycle the waste, it makes me very comfortable.

As for the sources of these useless knowledge, there are too many. I feel like they will get stuck in my brain no matter what I do. It is definitely a good thing to be consumed like this.

Lloyd then took another look at the 'recycle bin' in his mind, and found that it was still filled with a lot of junk knowledge absorbed from Hiltina and Elolo, and had not been emptied.

Maybe the key sensed something and stayed to clean it up on its own?

However, this kind of creation that uses knowledge as pen and ink, or energy, is really magical, and I am afraid it cannot be understood by modern technology.

Then again, what was Uncle Cheap's consideration in giving me this key and the metal book together? Just help me clear my mind of useless knowledge? Or are there other uses?

In other words, the function of this key is just to link with "Future Title Page"? Is it possible that it has other functions?

After Lloyd was having random thoughts, he then recalled the painting shown on "Future Title Page".

What does this mean?

With the help of the key, I consumed useless knowledge and made a [prophecy] that peeked into the future, but I can't interpret it myself?

That can only be classified as feudal superstition...

Lloyd smiled and put down this piece of stuff that he couldn't understand. He planned to ask Hildina what she thought of it after meeting her today.

Let’s get down to business now…

So Lloyd carefully twisted the remaining crystal flakes in the small wooden box.

As a result, this thing immediately changed into a light screen in his hand, with densely packed texts listed on it.

But it was not that the thin sheet really changed, it was still what it was originally, just projecting a light screen and texts on Lloyd's retina.

This is also a common trick of the [Intellectual] system...

And the above texts can be simply classified as a notebook, or a collection of several notebooks, most of which are about the research experience of 0-006, with rich and detailed content, a long time span, and different authors.

But the source and origin are all from the outside world's religious groups or research institutions.

In other words, the intellectual saint packaged some of the information he collected about 0-006 into a thin "resource collection" and sent it to me?

Lloyd roughly understood the purpose of this sheet, and then said something inexplicably:

"Good people live a peaceful life?"

Objectively speaking, it is more comfortable to integrate the research experience of many people into this form than to directly throw a lot of files and reports in people's faces. At least it is simple and convenient, and even makes Lloyd feel like reading e-books on Earth.

Although there should be a lot of these things in the college, I am afraid no one will help to organize them so comfortably, not to mention that they come from different groups, so it can be regarded as a brainstorming effect, right?

Lloyd patiently flipped through it slowly.

Until he felt the student handbook vibrate and saw the contact sent by Professor Toledo.

……………………

After Lloyd met Professor Toledo in his studio, the other party asked in confusion as soon as they met:

"Huh? Lloyd, why are you frowning and not in a good mood?"

"Because I just checked some information..."

Lloyd answered with a bitter face, spread his hands, and added:

"I'm afraid our topic this time is unusually troublesome, right?"

"This... I thought you had expected it a long time ago?"

"Indeed, but... forget it, what do you want to find me for?"

"Here~ This is our plan and schedule, take a look first, and the list of people I have initially screened..."

Professor Toledo said, and handed Lloyd a long list, and continued:

"Here~ Look, it's a good thing that you were pulled in this time, otherwise it would not be so easy to recruit people."

The list he took out recorded more than 200 people, but in the end, only ten people were left.

There were even three lecturers among them, and they were all Lloyd's "acquaintances".

The remaining seven people, the lowest one was rated B, and the rest were all top students with B+ and A-, and they were all third-year students.

Lloyd couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Lecturer Randy? Lecturer Lille? And this...Lecturer Bartolo? Why did they come to participate in our project?"

"Haha, maybe because of our last archaeological activity, everyone became brothers in distress? It just so happens that the three of them should have just finished recuperation and have no projects on hand, so they came to show their support."

Professor Toledo explained with a smile, and pointed to the remaining top students:

"Although the credits and funds we received this time are okay, they are not particularly generous. The credits are only 400 points...

So I simply After planning, the three lecturers who came to support us, plus you, need at least 50 points each. I don't want any for myself, and the remaining 200 points will be used to recruit these top students.

So do you think five or four people are more suitable? "

Lloyd made a simple calculation and then replied:

"I don't want my share either. I have a lot of credits. Why not call all seven people? I think their resumes are better than mine."

"That's not bad, but...how can seven people divide 250 credits?"

"Divide according to the final contribution? This will also prevent people from slacking off. Water."

"Hmm! Very good suggestion, let's do it. Are you free this afternoon? I want to arrange for everyone to come and have a meeting first."

Lloyd nodded, but then asked a question:

"That's no problem, but... these three lecturers, two are from the history department, and one is from the magic department. If they come to participate in this..."

"Absolutely no problem, you must not underestimate our last archaeological team, the lineup can be called luxurious!

Except for me, who is not worthy of the name, the rest are the real elite of the college, definitely not limited to a single school "The nerds of the science department, now with the three of them joining us, the configuration of our research group is also quite luxurious, it doesn't look like a 400-credit project at all, so you can rest assured!"

After explaining, Professor Toledo patted Lloyd on the shoulder and continued:

"Fortunately, you rescued us all at that time, otherwise there would be no research group today."

"You're welcome, it's all my responsibility."

So for the rest of the day, Lloyd began the preliminary preparations for the academic project. The process was relatively unremarkable, just meetings, meetings, and meetings.

It was a bit boring, but fortunately, everyone was a comrade-in-arms who had shared hardships, and the atmosphere of this reunion was very harmonious.

However, judging from the attitudes of Lecturer Randy, Lear, and a bald mage who was rescued by Royd at that time, they came to participate in this small project just for Royd's sake.

They are also not very optimistic about the prospects and endings...

Not to mention others, even Lloyd himself felt troubled after reading more and more information about the intellectual saints.

Professor Toledo repeatedly emphasized the difficulties involved and made everything clear.

Regardless of the conclusions drawn by external research institutions or past research at the academy, progress is basically blocked by one primary problem -

Unable to establish an effective connection with 0-006, but at the same time afraid to take it apart.

In other words, both the outside world and the academy can only study the entirety of 0-006, or the shell, and it is difficult to understand it in depth.

This is a bit as embarrassing as analyzing the operating principle of a refrigerator...

What's more, as an ancient creation, 0-006's structure is countless times more complicated than a refrigerator.

Therefore, the current research on 0-006 has been focused on finding ways to circumvent its limitations and deepen our understanding of it without affecting its functions.

At the same time, because 0-006 has been put into use as an artificial saint, it is even more difficult to carry out research. It is naturally difficult to carry out various rat-defying weapons.

However, Professor Toledo has re-adjusted his research direction this time and plans to start with 0-266.

"Of course, I don't mean to hurt her or dissect her, but to connect with 0-006 through her."

Professor Toledo also made a special explanation.

"But... this path has been tried by someone before, right? It turned out to be of no use, and it was quickly rejected."

Lecturer Randy, who was sitting next to Lloyd, raised a question, then glanced at Lloyd again, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Are you planning to let Lloyd pick up her?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, which made the atmosphere at the scene, which was still a bit solemn, relaxed a little.

But only Lloyd was laughing and cursing:

I don't even know who picked whom...

Lecturer Toledo, after laughing, continued:

"Maybe this is also a way? Lloyd, you can give it a try. If you can get 0-266 to cooperate with us in research, maybe there will be some new discoveries?"

At this time, an honors student next to him raised his hand and asked a question:

"Professor, I'm sorry to interrupt you. I have a question. There seems to be no research record on 0-266 at the college?"

"It has happened before, but because it was really difficult to make progress and she was too human, so after this path became unpopular, those worthless records were destroyed..."

"Uh... Okay, that's understandable. So what are the specific difficulties in researching 0-266?"

"Don't worry, that's what I'm going to say next."

Professor Toledo said, pulling down a blackboard behind him, with a simple girl drawn on it and various annotations.

"Strictly speaking, 0-266 is more complicated than 0-006, because she is almost exactly the same as a human, so now we have no idea how she was made, and even archaeological excavations have not been able to find relevant information. material."

"Yes, I have already investigated this. Among the ancient technical materials recovered by our history department, there is no such thing as 'how to create a human being'."

The Lear lecturer next to me added a helpful sentence.

Professor Toledo nodded and first raised two fingers.

"So many people would rather try again and again on 0-006 than get in touch with this little girl, because her birth is probably beyond our understanding. This is the biggest difficulty we have to face, and it is also the first difficulty……

In addition, many difficulties and embarrassments in the process of researching 0-006 also exist for her. Even because she has self-awareness, her temper will become more troublesome. This can be said to be the second difficulty. . "

Professor Toledo said and raised a third finger:

"Then the third point is that although the academy doesn't know much about her, the research institutions outside have paid attention to her for a long time, and they started before 0-006 was activated, and it lasted for quite a long time. long period of time.

So I tried to contact the alumni association outside last night to see if they could get relevant records, but I was told that all relevant research had been stopped and all relevant information had been destroyed, even those who had participated. They all disappeared inexplicably. "

When he said this, he shrugged helplessly and said in a dumbfounded voice:

"This makes me feel as if I have been involved in some unusual event, indicating that I may encounter some unexpected dangers during the research process..."

"Uh... probably not."

Lloyd suddenly interrupted.

"Um?"

Professor Toledo looked at him in surprise, wondering how he came to this conclusion.

"Ahem...Professor Hiltina from the college told me that since 0-266 was abducted last time, she has been relatively stable, at least she won't let the researchers disappear inexplicably."

"Professor Hiltina? Isn't that... the rejection of the Saint? Why would she be involved in this matter? And inform you of the information, Lloyd?"

Landy's eyes widened immediately, and he asked in surprise.

Because she was not involved in this matter at all, but I was involved!

Lloyd complained in his heart, but he had already thought of an excuse:

"I'm sorry, I can't reveal too much about the Saint. Anyway... don't worry too much about the risks in the research process. As long as you don't hurt her, it should be fine."

"Well, that's one less difficulty, but the first two alone can make me lose all my hair."

The bald wizard sitting opposite Lloyd said with a bitter face while touching his bald head.
