I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"Hmm...you don't know either?"

The former dean spoke in a slightly surprised tone, then circled around Lloyd twice, as if checking his body, and then muttered to himself some incoherent words:

"Hmm... considering his origin, it seems a little strange, but it also makes sense? A channel connecting to the Chaos Realm is very valuable, but it is also full of unknown risks. Even we didn't know much about it back then..."

"Perhaps more attempts can be made. This is a rare opportunity, however..."

"Well... maybe we shouldn't be too anxious, but should make some preparations in advance."

He kept talking to himself for a long time, leaving Lloyd no room to interrupt. At the end, he suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Let's go now and look for the body I left behind!"

"Ah??? Isn't this too sudden?"

Lloyd obviously didn't expect him to bring this up suddenly.

The former dean refuted confidently:

"Why is this so sudden? I have mentioned this to you several times, but you avoided the topic every time. Now that the time is right, of course we should take action."

"But... I never thought of digging up your body from the beginning. I was still thinking about curing you."

"You haven't even found my body, so how are you going to treat me? Aren't the prerequisites not met?"

Lloyd was choked by the former dean's words and was unable to refute. He could only change the topic and ask:

"How long will this take? And where is your body?"

"Well... considering your current strength and my current state, let's start with a simpler area, let's look around the academy first, shall we?"

"Ah??? Your body is near the academy?"

"Some of them are..."

"This... is it divided into several parts?"

"What's so surprising about this? Even a person's mind can be divided into several parts, let alone the body? If I hadn't taken this measure at the last minute and divided my body into multiple parts so that I could die peacefully, I'm afraid the academy would have been destroyed long ago? There would be no possibility of reconstruction at all."

The former dean said this in a nonchalant and indifferent tone.

Although what he said made sense, if a [Brilliant Gold] lost control and fell, what kind of terrifying level of monster would it transform into? Lloyd didn't dare to imagine what method could be used to solve it.

But dismembering oneself before death sounds too bizarre, doesn't it? Lloyd couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

"Don't look so surprised. In our time, except for that cheap uncle you mentioned, other people were quite keen on playing this kind of fancy tricks...

Many people would mess up their life forms, like using their hands to do experiments, their feet to exercise, and their body and brain to sleep in bed. These are all very common choices, but my old friend's idea is very different. "

The former dean recalled the past with a half-smile in his voice, and then continued:

"It just so happens that these days, I have been mobilizing my past memories to teach Hazlade, which has made me recall a lot of things. Through these memories, I have sensed a part of my body. Although it is not accurate yet, I have a rough range. Otherwise, I would not have urged you to set off...

Let's go to the relatively simple and safe part first. If everything goes well, then whether you want to inherit my legacy or stick to your naive idea to revive me is up to you. Anyway, we have to find it first."

At this point, Lloyd couldn't find a suitable reason to refute, so he could only nod reluctantly to express his agreement, and then asked a detailed question:

"Do we need to find some more people to help?"

"Please do not!"

The former dean shook his head vigorously in mid-air before explaining:

"Even I don't know how much mental pollution I have. If you don't have a grudge against anyone, then it's best if only the two of us go. Don't even notify Hazlade. His burden and pressure are actually not easy..."

"alright, I got it."

Lloyd nodded and dismissed the idea.

Although I can help share the mental pollution, this sharing is limited by the "bandwidth" of the [Consciousness Tentacles] and there is a limit.

If someone suddenly suffered from mental pollution far beyond their tolerance limit, they might be dead before I could help to share the burden...

Considering that the previous [Brilliant Gold] who "recognized the thief as his father" had directly degenerated to the level of the evil god's offspring, and Lloyd had experienced the intensity of the evil god's offspring's mental pollution, even if he was confident that he could withstand it with his current rationality, it was hard to say whether the teammates he found could withstand it...

So whether for your own safety or the safety of others, you should just listen to the former dean.

At this time, the former dean added:

"But... after all, the destination is still within the scope of the academy, so there is still plenty of time. You can make some preparations first. Even if you can't find help, it is still wise to bring more equipment."

After that, he mentioned something that made Lloyd a little scared:

"Here~ I just allocated some credits to you. Use them to exchange for some equipment. This is the privilege that Hazlade just restored to me."

"Uh...thank you..."

Lloyd felt the student handbook in his pocket vibrate, reminding him that more credits had arrived. He couldn't help but look at this with a helpless expression.

Is this love of giving credits to people randomly also a glorious tradition of Mizkatok?

"Okay, okay, go get ready. As for the other questions, we can talk about them slowly on the way."

The former dean continued to urge.

........................

"Uh... Professor Lloyd, I don't mean to offend you, but... aren't the equipment you chose a bit too much? Of course, I'm not questioning your ability to pay, but..."

At the exchange station, a staff member who was in charge of receiving Lloyd looked at the list he handed over with a troubled expression, then looked around, lowered his voice, and reminded him as subtly as possible:

"The price/performance ratio of many things here is...actually not that high..."

This is a good person, and he is trying to help Lloyd save his hard-earned credits...

Lloyd could only pat his shoulder with a smile and said:

"It's okay, just bring them all to me. I'm going to carry out a very dangerous academic research, and no amount of stuff is too much."

"Ah... okay then..."

The teacher pursed his lips helplessly and began to make arrangements for Lloyd. He then carefully transferred an astronomical amount of credits from his account, and checked the amount several times for fear of making a mistake.

As a result, Lloyd picked up the student handbook and took a look at it, then he also pursed his lips.

Tsk~ Only over 30, I thought it was much more...

But after this set, basically all the equipment that can be exchanged for credits has been "bloodbathed".

In order to fit all the things in, Lloyd also exchanged for several high-quality storage bags, and in the end they were all filled to the brim.

If there was anything missing, it would be things that could not be exchanged casually, such as the large amount of equipment from the space department, or the cool armor from the medical team that Lloyd was always envious of.

After slaughtering the engineering department, Lloyd continued to walk towards the medical department...

After all this big purchase, the total cost was...

10% of the credits?

How afraid were these two deans that I would have no credits to use?

Lloyd was also helpless.

But he didn't have much time to complain about this. After the big purchase, he immediately started the next step of preparation.

"Do you think we should use the space elevator? Or this?"

Lloyd brought the former dean through the portal to the three school districts under his control, which were the three places where the space storms were stored, and then asked the corpse for his opinion.

"Space storm? That's a good thing, let's use it! But speed should be no problem, right? If something unexpected happens, we still have to find a way to escape."

the corpse himself asked truthfully.

Uh...are you going to pretend to be dead and jump up to kill yourself?

Lloyd complained in his heart, but replied normally:

"Speed ​​is definitely no problem. Space storms are very fast. It's just a little time-consuming."

"That's fine. Just choose this one. As for the troublesome side effects, use potions to solve them. Have you exchanged for such potions? If not, I'll give you some more credits."

"No, no, no! I've changed everything. I even changed the one for infertility treatment!"

Lloyd waved his hand quickly.

"Hahaha! That's no problem! Let's go!"

The former dean cheered excitedly, as if he was going to find some treasure instead of his own corpse.

"Don't worry, I still have to go to the Space Department to borrow some equipment."

Lloyd said dumbfounded.

He had no choice but to rush back to the department, and without notifying the professor, he used his authority to call for a batch of equipment.

It’s not that he wants privileges, but there are three powerful professors in the entire department, two of whom are in mental hospitals, and one said he went fishing and hasn’t returned yet. So doesn’t Lloyd have any choice but to make his own decision?

This matter was of course noticed by the people in the Equipment Department. Two people immediately opened the portal and rushed over to check it out.

"Who moved these valuable equipment without authorization? Oh? It was Professor Lloyd? That's fine, you can use them as you like. In the absence of the three professors, your authority is the highest level, but please remember to keep a record of your operations as required."

"Here is a form for you to sign and confirm. This is our process... By the way, is there anything we can help you with?"

Lloyd smiled, declined the kindness of the two equipment department students, and left with a pile of equipment.

Once these equipment are placed in a good place, the preparation work will be completed.

The former dean urged impatiently:

"Let's go, let's go! I've lived for so long, but I've never been on a ship like this before. It can actually use space storms as power. Your ideas are really novel, just like the trial scenes you designed."

Lloyd simply nodded, his hands busy controlling the equipment to locate the approximate range mentioned by the former dean.

I just had a vague feeling in my heart that the former dean was very anxious this time, to the point of being a little unnatural...

But it's not the kind of expectation of being in a hurry to be reborn, but more like the cheap uncle, who is in a hurry to seek relief...

So did the memories of teaching Dean Hazlade affect his mentality? Was he eager to really die?

Then I can only say sorry, I will definitely disappoint you this time!

Lloyd said this silently in his heart, and asked indirectly:

"Are you so anxious this time because of that piece of [History]? Or is it because of my trial?"

"I should say a little bit of both, right? On the one hand, I saw your potential in [Vanity]. You are indeed more suitable for this path than me. My thoughts and ideas are still limited by some things in the past, and it is difficult for me to bring out the true power of [Vanity]..."

The former dean shook his head, as if mocking himself, and continued to babble:

"It seems that my original decision was absolutely correct. I really can't use my understanding of [Vanity] to restrict you. If I do that, you will probably face the same limitations as me. For [Vanity], a system with infinite possibilities, this is a self-defeating behavior."

"As for the chaotic realm called [History], I think it is very important, but you may not realize how important it is... Let me put it this way, according to our past understanding of the chaotic realm, that [History] should not exist, which means it cannot be observed or touched..."

"However, your trial, by some strange coincidence, has formed such a chaotic realm that humans can enter. This is amazing! Therefore, this piece of [history] is extremely precious. Even though it may be a little dangerous, you must never give up. This is why I am so anxious."

"I hope you can become stronger and better protect this precious [history] and prevent it from being polluted and swallowed up. We must speed up the process."

Although he talked a lot, the topic was not about what Lloyd was concerned about, and he did not mention his own thoughts at all.

Seeing this, Lloyd couldn't think of any other way to ask indirect questions, so he had to switch to academic topics:

"But we just encountered a danger level 10 monster in there not long ago. It was very strange and dangerous, and almost caused a disaster..."

He then gave a brief description of what had happened in the previous accident.

"Oh? Is it a Chaos Monster? Such a thing actually exists. This can be regarded as a verification of the various hypotheses at the beginning."

Lloyd was slightly stunned by the former dean's answer, and he quickly asked:

"Uh...did someone discover this kind of monster back then?"

"Yes, but it is a conclusion drawn through data analysis and assumptions. It cannot stand up to scrutiny and cannot be verified."

"If you say so, this kind of monster should not be able to enter the human world, right?"

"Yes, otherwise those hypotheses would have been verified long ago. But now that you have witnessed the existence of that thing and have been locked by it, it means that this may not be impossible? Perhaps, this kind of chaotic creatures really have the possibility of existing in the world? We just don't realize it?"

The former dean was saying something that Lloyd didn't quite understand, and then he muttered to himself in ancient language.

Lloyd didn't understand a word he said, but he vaguely felt that his gaze seemed to fall on him intentionally or unintentionally?

This shouldn't be hinting at something, right?

Lloyd pondered for a moment, then shook his head secretly and continued:

"But I don't have a good way to deal with this thing yet, and I don't know if it will suddenly appear again to hurt people? Or even come into the world."

The former dean laughed and consoled him:

"Haha, the biggest difference between the real world and chaos is stability. If it really comes to the real world, it will definitely not be able to appear and disappear like that, so you don't have to worry."

"Well, that's good."

Lloyd nodded, then temporarily ended the conversation, stood up, controlled the large number of space equipment in his hands, and checked the route and direction.

"We are almost approaching the area you mentioned before. Can you feel anything?"

"Well... leave me alone for a while."

As the former dean spoke, he froze in mid-air, as if he was lost in thought or reminiscing.
