I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 593 595. Explosive knowledge

As Lloyd stared, a series of panel prompts came to his ears, and each brought shocking numbers:

[Ding~Knowledge fragment +1, madness value +500000]

[Ding~Knowledge fragment +1, madness value +500000]

[Ding~Knowledge fragment +1, madness value +500000]

Just one fragment can cause up to 500,000 mental pollutions...

And just one dark green rune brought ten fragments...

Even though Lloyd's [rationality] was high enough and the upper limit of his endurance was high enough, he felt a little dizzy and his eardrums tingled.

If it were an ordinary transcendent without the "Book of Madness", he would fall into madness the moment he stared at those green runes.

Lloyd also didn't expect that the forbidden knowledge brought by this thing would be so terrifying, and he didn't expect that not long after he entered this place, he would hit two precious objects one after another in a short period of time, one of which was so unbelievable.

[Deep Thoughts] It really lives up to its reputation, it is no different from committing suicide...

But fortunately, Lloyd only had time to accept the fragment of knowledge on a rune, and the fluorescence in the darkness dimmed, and no new lines lit up.

The behemoth seemed to have discovered that it was being spied on, so it accelerated its speed and soon disappeared from Lloyd's sight.

Lloyd took a deep breath. After the stinging pain in his brain and eardrums gradually dissipated, he suddenly felt a little unfulfilled?

After all, the mental pollution caused by one fragment made him rise to level 10, and ten of them came in just an instant, and the unallocated attribute points skyrocketed by 500 points.

Eh? No, don't go! I haven’t seen enough yet! How old are you to be so shy?

He shouted in his mind.

It's a pity that the behemoth disappeared without mercy in the end, leaving only a piece of faint blue water, where some messy creatures can be seen floating and swimming.

Lloyd could only say with a slightly regretful tone:

"It's so big and can run so fast? What a pity...but then again, what on earth is this thing?"

But Hiltina shook her head.

"I don't know. I actually don't know much about this place. In other words, today's humans lack understanding of this place. They don't even have a standard name, let alone the creatures that swim in it."

"Huh? This deep sea doesn't even have a name?"

"Yes, people generally avoid this place. After all, this is the main source of forbidden knowledge... And one of the main responsibilities of our saints is to help people resist and filter out the forbidden knowledge that flows into the world from here... …”

"So I wanted to call this place the 'Saint's Cage' for a while, but then I thought about it. We are not really trapped here, so this name is not very appropriate."

Hiltina said, with a smile on her face that looked like she was enjoying herself, and then continued:

"My dear, what do you think this place should be called better?"

The mysterious sea? Quantum Sea? Coral Palace Heart Sea?

A few strange terms came to Lloyd's mind, but he immediately shook his head and said with a smile:

"I don't have much talent for naming. I can probably only think of a name like 'Forbidden Library'? After all, as you said, this is the main source of forbidden knowledge."

"It's more appropriate than I thought? And it doesn't sound that frustrating? Anyway, no one here comes back to fight for us for the naming rights, so let's call it this!"

Hiltina said, hugging Lloyd's waist from behind, leading him to swim around, and continued to share her understanding of this 'forbidden library':

"I was actually very afraid of this place before, and I was really bullied by the messy taboo knowledge. But fortunately, I met you, which helped me relieve a lot of pressure, so that I can continue to explore this place later."

"Although I wasn't very good at dealing with the creatures here at the beginning, as I pondered the [Supreme Realm], I opened up some ideas, and I can at least deal with some of the smaller ones."

Just as she was speaking, the huge scythe from before appeared out of thin air again. It was held by her delicate little hands. With a gentle wave towards the front, she cut a jellyfish that was floating towards the two of them into two pieces. .

"They are very fragile, but if you don't know how to deal with them, they are more threatening than the big guy in front."

"Huh? The younger one is actually more troublesome than the older one?"

Lloyd asked quickly, suddenly having a bold idea in his mind.

But Hiltina guessed what he was thinking, quickly shook her head and explained:

"It's not what you think. To be precise, we can't pose any threat to such a behemoth, and it won't be hostile to small creatures like us. It may even not notice us at all."

"Uh...I see..."

Lloyd smiled awkwardly and then said:

"So that thing is some kind of existence similar to the descendant of the evil god?"

"This... I can't explain clearly. I'm not like you. I don't even dare to look directly at it... So what do you think? Is it similar to the descendants of the evil god you have come into contact with?"

Lloyd thought about it seriously for a moment, then carefully recalled the previous confrontation with the Son of Evil God, and finally shook his head.

"It doesn't look like it... This guy is probably much more powerful than the descendant of the evil god, and he may not even be a creature of our dimension. The shadow we saw should be its consciousness left in this 'forbidden library' reflection, and it’s only a small part…”

Lloyd's tone was full of awe and even a little fear.

How dare you look directly at such a high-dimensional existence?

I am really a fearless and brave young man...

But fortunately, the panel is still there, and the shadow is not the true body of the creature. It can only be regarded as a small reflection of it, not even the tip of the iceberg.

It is even possible that the logical relationship is wrong. It is not that it casts a reflection in the library, but that the entire boundless vast ocean is the reflection it casts.

And the shadow that I can observe is only a small part of what I can observe and possibly understand...

This idea is really scary, but it is not an unfounded association.

While recalling and comparing earlier, Lloyd accidentally glanced at the fragments of knowledge he had obtained.

Among the ten pieces of knowledge obtained, only two can be understood and read by me...

The remaining ones were directly locked into a state of 'unreachable and incomprehensible'.

No matter it is the "Book of Truth", the "Book of Madness" or the "Book of Illusion", there is nothing you can do about it.

I can’t even enter the ‘recycle bin’…

It can only be said that it is a taboo knowledge that can cause mental pollution of 500,000 people. Even the saints dare not look directly at it.

It's just that these fragments, apart from bringing a huge wave of mental pollution, are harmless. They just left a few unsolvable problems in Lloyd's mind, or that he couldn't even understand the questions.

Anyway, there are so many unsolvable mysteries in this world, and I don’t mind a few more...

Perhaps as your rank increases, your attributes increase, and your cognitive level increases, how many more pieces will you be able to understand?

And Lloyd's speculation about this behemoth was also derived from this particularity.

With more than 5,000 [Cognitions], and the level of cognition that has been improved several times, I can't even understand the 'question', so I can only think of it in a higher dimension.

So having said that, it is not necessarily a bad thing that the thing disappears in time. If you continue to stare at the runes it displays, you might find content that exceeds your tolerance limit, or even exceeds the processing limit of the "Book of Madness".

That would be really fun...

After some thought, Lloyd regained his composure and continued:

"In short, this place is indeed dangerous, and [Thinking Deep] is well-deserved... This makes me admire you even more for how you dared to run to such a place alone."

"Hehe, although I also want to feel proud, my situation is still different from yours..."

Hiltina smiled and continued to explain:

"Actually, I didn't dive as deep as you. I only touched the edge and didn't have a chance to encounter that creature. I guess Professor Dell is in a similar situation, right?"

"Huh? This...I actually dived so deep for the first time?"

"Yes... Although I don't want to say this, my dear, the area you can reach is actually far beyond the limits of human beings... Even now, I can't do it alone To go deep into such a place, we must rely on our previous connections to forcibly project myself to you. "

As she spoke, she waved the sickle in her hand to kill an 'hairtail fish' that was about to move.

"You see, even the chance of encountering this kind of creature has increased a lot, but I didn't encounter anything back then. At first, I thought it was because I was lucky enough, but now it seems that I just didn't go deep enough. ”

"Luckily you can take care of them easily."

"This is probably because they are the weakest here, right? If they were a little bigger, we might have no choice but to escape."

Hiltina said, then asked again:

"By the way, my dear, have you found the knowledge you want? The time is almost up. You should not stay in this place for a long time."

"Well... I have gained something, I need to go back and digest it slowly... Huh? What is this?"

As Lloyd was talking, he suddenly saw a very small 'glass bottle' floating to his hand.

This bottle does not look dangerous, nor does it have any vitality. It is not disguised as something valuable.

When you hold it in your hand, it is only about the size of a small bottle of perfume. You can still see a faint light spot inside, flickering and shining.

The light was so weak that Lloyd didn't notice it until it floated into his hand. He didn't realize there was such a gadget.

What's even more strange is that Hiltina, who can even detect transparent jellyfish in time, seems not to have seen the bottle at all?

Still wondering:

"Honey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing...can you see this?"

Lloyd shook the small bottle of Xiuzhen in his hand.

Hiltina shook her head and explained:

"Actually, my current situation is similar to entering your [Thinking Realm]. Vision is useless. Everything depends on inspiration. It can be said that except for you, I can't see anything else... So you are seeing Something special?"

"It's something special. It's a very small drifting bottle, and it contains a more beautiful light spot."

Lloyd replied quickly.

"Drift bottle?"

Hiltina's reaction was filled with surprise, and she continued:

"But in the vision I built for you, there is no such thing?"

When Lloyd heard this, he was also stunned.

Yes, I have become accustomed to this dreamlike scene at the bottom of the sea, and I almost forgot how weird and bizarre this place was.

"So this bottle..."

He suddenly felt a little scared and quickly threw the bottle out.

However, the bottle broke into pieces on its own, and the faint light spot inside also escaped. It used its last ray of light, leaving a line of subtitles in front of Lloyd's eyes:

"Who's going to...save us?"

After just such a mindless plea for help, the bottle and the light spot completely disappeared.

"This... the bottle opened by itself, and there was a simple cry for help inside."

Lloyd quickly shared his findings with Hildina.

However, she appeared a little nervous. She quickly reached out to Lloyd, raised and lowered her hands, and pressed her forehead against his. After checking Lloyd and finding that there was nothing serious, she breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Why would there be a distress letter in a place like this? And who would throw a distress letter in a place like this? This is an absolutely forbidden area that no normal human being can enter?"

"I don't know. Why don't you stay a little longer? See if you can find more bottles like this?"

Lloyd suggested again.

"Well, you can give it a try, but not for too long."

"good."

Lloyd nodded.

As he was talking, he suddenly felt a cold feeling in his hands. He looked down and saw that there was an extra 'drift bottle'? Is there also a faint light spot inside?

Is this some kind of ‘déjà vu’?

Lloyd grinned and quickly threw away the bottle in his hand.

So the previous scene was played out again, and as the light spots escaped and went out, another line of subtitles appeared in front of his eyes.

But it is completely different content:

"We were wrong. We were too trusting. Our arrogance made us forget our own insignificance. We...are sinners of mankind..."

This is……

Seeing this line of text, Lloyd gradually made a guess in his mind.

Then, he waited for a few seconds, and sure enough, another 'drift bottle' appeared in his hand.

Opening it, the third sentence appeared in front of him:

"Perhaps no one can see us, and no one will remember us..."
