I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 74 74. It's on

Dong~Dong~Dong~Dong~Dong~

A series of prompt sounds echoed in the air, as if it was cheating.

The ferocious black dragon seemed to realize something and felt an instinctive fear.

A blue dragon breath gushed out of the dragon's mouth, flowing like a waterfall, completely covering Lloyd, and even cracking the ground under his feet, spewing out a stream of lava.

The high temperature and flames instantly submerged Lloyd, enough to make him not even leave ash.

However, the next second, in the blue dragon breath, Lloyd's figure slowly emerged, not only unscathed, but also without even the corner of his clothes being touched.

The smile on his face became even brighter, and he approached the black dragon step by step, saying in a joyful tone:

"This is indeed a move that I am very afraid of in my subconscious, but what's the use? Don't you know what 'open' means?"

"Well... you really don't know, because you can't read my main consciousness and memory."

Lloyd continued to speak, and had already come to the feet of the black dragon. Facing the body that was like a high wall, he slowly stretched out his right hand and gently knocked on the dragon's scales with a gesture like knocking on a door.

This attack should not even be considered a caress, but it made the dragon let out a last wail before death. The huge body collapsed and instantly scattered into a pile of scales, wings, shells and other materials, even several eyeballs.

"Uh... the explosion rate seems to be too high? But it doesn't matter, it's open."

Lloyd complained about himself, and then a series of strange muffled sounds came to his ears.

Bang~bang~bang~

Then a series of meaningless prompt boxes popped up in front of him, asking him to click "Confirm".

"Why is it an error? Do I subconsciously think that cheating will cause an error?"

Lloyd said with a smile and waved his hand.

The messy dragon materials, the meaningless prompt boxes, and the classic panel before him all disappeared without a trace.

In fact, all these things did not exist in reality, but were imagined out of thin air based on his past memories. Whether they appeared or disappeared, it was only in his mind.

This is his [Thinking Domain], an absolute domain where he controls everything.

So even a high-ranking strongman like the butler would not dare to rashly invade other people's minds.

But this monster dared...

The skinny man with a knife and a gun and the huge black dragon were all bosses that Lloyd met in video games on Earth, leaving a deep impression of "invincibility" in his subconscious.

The Thinking Monster peeked into his subconscious and turned into a boss in the game, trying to strengthen Lloyd.

Lloyd could not defeat this unforgettable and terrible boss by himself.

But it doesn't matter if he can't beat it, as long as the modifier can beat it.

It's a single-player game anyway, so it's on!

The Thinking Monster is just a monster after all, and its intelligence should not be high, so it can't understand the meanness of humans, and it doesn't understand what "game" and "opening a cheat" mean, and it actually tried to attack Lloyd.

The ending is naturally killed in one hit, and it became a pile of materials in Lloyd's impression.

"Huh~ Although it seems easy to win, it was actually very dangerous before. This Thinking Monster is indeed worthy of the evaluation of Danger Level 7. If I hadn't learned a lesson in the housekeeper's [Story] a while ago and opened the panel in time, I'm afraid I would have suffered a lot this time..."

Lloyd breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.

This monster behaved like a clown in front of him, but it didn't mean it wasn't powerful. On the contrary, it was extremely dangerous and terrifying to normal extraordinary people, and almost impossible to defeat.

It would release powerful mental pollution while invading other people's [thinking field], and quickly pollute the human subconscious with an exaggerated efficiency of +100 per second.

This was equivalent to releasing mental pollution in the deepest part of the human brain, which was almost impossible to eliminate and resist.

Humans can control their thoughts at will, but it is difficult to control their subconscious without special training, and it is difficult to resist such invasion. It won't take long for them to fall into madness, be occupied by this monster, and be completely controlled.

Even if someone's rationality is high enough, their willpower is strong enough, and they have also received special training to control the subconscious, they can barely resist, but they can only hold on for a while longer, and they will eventually be completely polluted.

What's more, this monster can also spy on the feared things in other people's subconscious, transform into a terrible and powerful enemy in other people's memory, further weaken the target's will and resistance, and accelerate its pollution process.

This means that once it invades, it is almost impossible to resist mental pollution and the madness that follows, and to fight against one's own "inner demon".

However, in comparison, the most dangerous thing about the thinking monster is not the previous ones, but its all-pervasive and unpredictable invasion methods.

It can directly invade along the inspiration used by humans when they display extraordinary abilities, and Lloyd was attacked in this way.

It can also keenly smell the curiosity and fear of humans towards it, and quietly come to these people through some unknown means.

That’s why the textbooks only describe this monster in a few words, and also specifically warn:

“Never imagine its image, never explore its secrets.”

The thinking monster is not so much a monster as a plague or curse specifically targeting humans. It is so dangerous that it is completely unreasonable.

“It just happened to meet me this time who treats madness as experience points... But even I can only defeat it by relying on my courage, perseverance, determination, tenacity and imagination, plus a little help from the panel.”

“I really don’t know how others will deal with this unreasonable thing?”

Lloyd made the final summary in a low voice.

Fortunately, he had gained a wave of practical experience in the housekeeper’s [Story] before, so that when he realized that the situation was not right, he hurriedly called for the panel in his heart.

With the successful opening of the panel, the mental pollution released by the thinking monster was no longer a threat, but an experience.

At the same time, it also made him wake up in time and realize that [Thinking Field] was his absolute home field where he could do everything, and he completed the counterattack.

This was roughly the cause and effect of this encounter in Lloyd's opinion.

Of course, there were still many doubts that he hadn't figured out.
