I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The tentacled grass monster screamed, raised its chest and patted its chest, saying "Wrap it around me", and then danced again——

It looks like a product manager bragging to customers...

Lloyd looked at it half-understanding, and tried to send the fragments of the black and white chessboard in hand into the [thinking field], and then handed them to the Tentacle Grass, which was rolled up by the Tentacle Grass with its blade-like 'hands'.

The tentacle grass twisted again and gestured towards the buds not far away——

They are all buds produced by the [Twisted Seed] planted by Lloyd. One of them represents Jenkins and can have some weak connection with him.

But Lloyd himself can't take advantage of this connection, so he needs the help of a 'product manager'.

He sat down cross-legged in front of the bud that represented Jenkins, and by the way glanced at the plant next door that represented consultant Esquimir.

Um? This hateful traitor actually secretly regained some strength?

The progress is quite fast. If he continues at this rate, he will be able to escape danger and move freely in about seventy or eighty years, and then in another twenty or thirty years, he should be able to return to his peak.

This is not friendly...

Lloyd was about to arrange something for this traitor, but suddenly found that the little strength he had finally recovered was suddenly drained away, and he returned to a dying state with his life hanging by a thread.

In front of Lloyd's eyes, the familiar 'live screen' appeared, which also had various buttons, but the screen was still a bit blurry and flickered for a while before Jenkins' figure gradually emerged.

It seems that Tentacle Grass used the consultant's power to find Lao Zhan with the help of the black and white chessboard fragments, and then launched a 'live broadcast'?

This gameplay is very different from Lloyd's [sneaking into] Eloro's side. As a 'spectator', Lloyd certainly cannot go directly to Lao Zhan, but it seems that he can use the buttons and functions on the screen to give Lao Zhan Jen offers help?

Lloyd was not in a hurry, and first zoomed in a little to observe Lao Zhan's current situation.

He was indeed not injured, nor was he bound by shackles or anything, but his mental state was a bit bad. He was sitting on a high-backed chair with his head lowered, looking dazed and half asleep.

In front of him was an ordinary table with water and food on it, but it was basically untouched.

This scene looks almost the same as the result of Lloyd's previous divination. Lao Zhan was indeed kidnapped, but the gangster seemed to be asking for something from him. He was still in the stage of coercion and inducement and did not use violence directly.

But Lloyd looked at it carefully again, and suddenly felt some familiar 'smell' in the picture...

The 'flavor' of [Distortion]?

It seems that the 'live broadcast' created by the Tentacle Grass is not only a picture, but also transmits some things that are invisible to the naked eye?

Lloyd quickly touched the square ring on his finger, activated the effect of [Pupillary of Wisdom], and took a closer look.

Sure enough, I saw the power of [distortion] spreading in the air, affecting Lao Zhan.

The source of these powers is the door of this cell. It should be a ritual engraved on the other side of the door. It is a relatively low-end one, similar to the ones that Lloyd has cracked before, used to influence ordinary people. That kind of person.

Therefore, the effectiveness is not very strong, and Lao Zhan's fifth-level level can still handle it.

But if it takes a long time, it will be difficult to say...

In addition to the power of [distortion], there are a variety of suppression rituals arranged around the cell, which imprison and consume Jenkins' power, making it difficult for him to move and resist.

Lloyd couldn't help frowning and wanted to know who imprisoned Lao Zhan?

Just at this time, the door of the cell was opened from the outside, and the escaping [distortion] power also began to weaken and gradually dissipated in the air.

After a few more minutes, until the power of [Distortion] completely dissipated, a sanctimonious old man walked into the cell, sat in front of Lao Zhan, and said:

"Jenkins, my old friend, how are you thinking today?"

Lao Zhan woke up slowly, raised his head reluctantly, and spat, taking it as his answer.

The old man opposite seemed to have guessed such an attitude a long time ago, and he was not angry at all. He said calmly:

"I have to admire you for being able to hold on for such a long time? If you were an ordinary person, in this [distorted] environment, you would have succumbed within three days, but you persisted for two weeks...

This is really incredible. Is your will really so strong? Or is there something in you that I don't know about that is protecting you? But isn't your chessboard already smashed? "

Jenkins still lowered his head and did not answer.

But he knew in his heart that the reason why he could persevere for so long was because of a voice in the back of his mind that kept reminding him to cheer up. He must cheer up!

It was precisely because of this encouragement from an unknown source that he was able to withstand the erosion of the [distortions] in the air and keep his thinking basically clear, without any concession from beginning to end.

After hearing these words, Lloyd also noticed something. He quickly reached out and touched the bud representing Lao Zhan, and looked at the condition of the [Seed of Distortion].

As expected, the power carried by [Seed of Distortion], which was the power that made Lao Zhan 'refresh', had been worn down and weakened to a certain extent. It seemed that it should be the loss caused by the collision with another power.

Judging from the degree of wear and tear, if it comes for another two weeks, the 'invigorating' effect of [Seed of Distortion] may be eliminated and replaced with another effect.

It's just that the effect that Lloyd set for Lao Zhan's [Seed of Distortion] is already the weakest, right?

Just like this, the opposite side can't be polished off after two weeks?

Is this old man too good? Or does he not want to hurt Lao Zhan's thinking?

So what the old man wants to coerce Lao Zhan to do is probably the kind of work that is very mentally demanding and requires patience and meticulousness?

So what exactly will it be?

Lloyd still remembers Lao Zhan's identity and job - archaeologist and prophet. Both fields require mental state, patience and meticulousness. I don't know which side is it?

Fortunately, there was no need for him to associate or speculate. The old man opposite took the initiative to 'explain' himself:

"Please forgive me for not understanding your insistence. In my opinion, this is obviously a huge benefit, a win-win situation for both parties. Humanity can get a new saint and build a new city. You can get unimaginable benefits." Why are you so stubborn when you have achieved wealth and fame?"

Jenkins finally spoke, but he just sneered feebly:

"Saint? Ha..."

"Do you have any room to laugh? My lord is the top expert in the [Disaster] system, only one step away from the saint. Although [Disaster] is still a taboo system in the eyes of mediocre people, you don't Forgot, the previous [veto] was the same...
