I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition
Chapter 557: Deep into the Ruins
Having endured such severe punishment, this batch of equipment certainly cannot be given away for free to these temporary teammates. It can only be lent to them to deal with today's situation first, and they still need to be returned later.
This also reflects the superiority of this kind of engineering masterpiece. It has powerful functions and long battery life. At the same time, the credits required are very cheap and it is very convenient to use. Lloyd only needs to briefly explain the operation method, and these temporary teammates can get started smoothly.
It is said that when the engineering department made this kind of equipment, they designed it according to the standard that the art department can use it easily, and the ease of use was their focus...
In terms of specific effects, it is a trigger-type shield that will only be deployed when danger is detected approaching. This is more energy-efficient and low-key.
The only flaw is that... in terms of appearance, it is either a plain ornament or a small toy in a cartoon style, which lacks visual impact.
In short, distributing a few pieces of equipment and arming the teammates greatly boosted their confidence, and they were no longer as worried as before.
"Mizkatok's equipment is truly amazing... How on earth was this little thing made? It can actually automatically detect danger and automatically deploy defenses?"
Old York asked as he held a yellow rubber duck that looked like the one he played with in the bath, turning it over and over in his hands.
But Lloyd was not from the engineering department, so he could not answer. He just changed the subject and said:
"Okay, with these things, at least there will be no problem with safety. Next, we should see which area to explore first."
As he spoke, he looked up at the topographic map on the wall. After some consideration, he pointed to a relatively nearby area and suggested:
"How about...let's go to this entertainment area first?"
"Hmm? The entertainment area? Mr. Lloyd, is there anything special about this place?"
The investigator wearing a ghost mask asked quickly.
In his opinion, it is obvious that they should go to the military preparation area and the experimental area first, right? Why would they choose an entertainment area that seems to have nothing to do with it first?
Lloyd explained patiently:
"It's not that special, but my inspiration is blocked near there, and I can't go any deeper, so it's safer to go over there and test it out first."
"Well, I agree with Lloyd, let's do as he says."
Old York chose to agree, and continued to play with the little yellow duck in his hands. It seemed that he wanted to pinch it hard to see if it would quack, but he was afraid of breaking it, which seemed a bit awkward.
So Lloyd first memorized the topographic map, and then the temporary team continued to move forward.
I don't know when the continuous roaring suddenly stopped. Maybe it was because his voice was hoarse? Anyway, the surroundings became quiet all of a sudden. Only Lloyd's slight footsteps echoed in the empty cave.
On the contrary, several other investigators have mastered an essential skill for investigators - silent walking.
It's like playing a shooting game...
Not long after walking, Lloyd found the point where his inspiration had been blocked before, and discovered an invisible barrier blocking his way.
He quickly reached out to stop the team behind him, then took out a round can from his pocket and threw it into the barrier to test the situation.
The can rolled twice on the ground and then lay quietly without moving. Nothing unusual happened.
From this point of view, this barrier is somewhat similar to the one I noticed in the museum before. Both have a magical effect of blocking inspiration, but it is far less mysterious and dangerous than in the museum. It will not make the things thrown in fade, blur, and then disappear out of thin air, and it does not seem so "untouchable".
This can only be regarded as a very, very weakened version.
It seems that barriers of that level in museums cannot be easily set up?
But even so, Lloyd did not let his guard down at all. For safety reasons, he used his [Projection] to explore the way first.
He then summoned the [Projection], which immediately caused a burst of shouting in the 'Team Channel'.
"Wow!!! Ghost!!! Ghost!!!"
"What kind of monster is this?"
"How did it come out?!"
Fortunately, Lloyd explained it in time, otherwise these teammates would be very scared and almost want to leave first...
After learning that such a hideous and ugly thing was actually Lloyd's [Projection], everyone in the team immediately changed their rhetoric:
"I see. I didn't expect that Professor Lloyd is also quite accomplished in the field of [materialization]. Look at this [projection]. It must be something extraordinary."
"Yes, yes, this appearance is very unique and has an alternative sense of fashion. It is much cooler than other [projections] I have seen."
"Although I know nothing about [materialization], I think the appearance of [projection] should be of this style. It looks reliable and combat-ready. I don't want to do what some people do, and make [projection] look like their first love. That's really disgusting!"
Lloyd was embarrassed by all these people's flattery. There was really no need to force the flattery like this...
All I can say is that if you have the ability, then whatever you do is right, and there will always be great scholars to defend you.
Lloyd muttered to himself, controlling the [Projection] with his hands, and slowly drilled into the barrier in front.
Well, the previous judgment was correct, and there is indeed no problem.
I can feel the effects of several rituals, but they are the kind that provide comfortable temperature, purify the air, stabilize the mind, and eliminate spiritual pollution.
This is actually something that an entertainment area should be equipped with?
In addition, there are several sets of monitoring instruments that are scanning the [Projection].
But perhaps because of some characteristics of the [Projection], or perhaps because it was not a living person, these rituals did not seem to trigger the alarm.
call……
Lloyd couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't go in directly, but let the [Projection] explore the way first. Otherwise, the alarm bells would definitely ring and there would be shouts of "Ala Ala" everywhere.
He then used the projection to extend his inspiration and capture the locations of those monitoring rituals.
With his 11th level [Ritual Control], this was naturally not difficult for him.
"Wait a moment, there are a lot of monitoring rituals inside, it will take some time to process."
Lloyd first whispered in the 'Team Channel', then controlled the [Projection] to move a little closer, and then used that unique spiritual power release technique to derive some spiritual power from the [Projection] that seemed like substance.
These spiritual powers were like invisible scissors and tweezers, cleverly cracking and shielding these monitoring rituals, causing them to fall into a perfect "semi-failed" state.
It can neither keenly detect intruders and issue warnings, nor be detected by the other party because of its complete ineffectiveness.
This was obviously a very clever trick, which meant that Lloyd's [Ritual Control] level was high enough, and with the help of [Distortion], he could perform this trick in a short period of time.
Old York and the others around him waited patiently while quietly discussing in the 'Team Channel':
"Lloyd, you'd better be careful. This type of monitoring instrument is likely to be designed in a chain. If you destroy one of them directly, it will also trigger an alarm. Can you try to find a way to block it?"
"This is really abominable and insidious, isn't it? Setting up monitoring instruments behind a barrier that blocks inspiration. If someone else came here, wouldn't they just run into it without noticing, and then trigger the alarm in an instant, and then they might be hunted down by the demons in the depths?"
"Yes, if Mr. Lloyd hadn't been here, and we had come here on our own, I'm afraid we would have already..."
"But... I have heard what Instructor York said. A master of ritual studies in our investigation team mentioned this method to me. But it is a very advanced method, right? I am afraid it will take a long time, and the success rate cannot be guaranteed, especially since it may involve a ritual array and is very easy to fail."
"That's true. Although this method is safe and reliable, it is quite complicated. I don't know how well Lloyd is at studying rituals. Even I am not very good at this..."
"Ah? It's so troublesome? What should I do?"
While they were still worried about it, Lloyd smiled through his mask, clapped his hands, turned around and nodded to everyone, indicating that he had solved it.
"Uh... so fast?"
Old York was slightly surprised, obviously not expecting Lloyd to be so skillful.
The investigator Bai Yueguang was also surprised and asked quickly:
"This... is a very complicated technique even for a master of rituals, but it was solved in less than a minute? Are all the people of Mitzkatok monsters?"
Now was obviously not the time to discuss this, so Lloyd waved his hand, signaling everyone to go inside first.
Then, he prepared to be the first to step into the barrier.
As a result, Old York behind him suddenly grabbed him and walked in front himself.
As an eighth-rank warrior, he still has the responsibilities of a strong man.
After Old York went in, he immediately released his inspiration, checked around, and then nodded to the people outside.
With Old York leading the way, the temporary team filed in. Lloyd first bent down to pick up the cans thrown in from the front, and then pointed to a fork in the road ahead, indicating that everyone should go left.
Then he wiped the can and put it back into the storage bag.
After entering the barrier, the space in front, behind, left and right suddenly became a lot more "depressing", returning to the style of a normal underground shelter, instead of being as spacious and grand as outside.
It seems that this area has not been designed for the entry and exit of large weapons and equipment, and it should be a space for people to rest and entertain.
Some simple arrangements were also made, with common facilities such as sofas, beds, pool tables, etc., and a phonograph was placed in the corner.
They are all brand new things, not antiques, which means they were moved in recently.
An investigator also found a cup of coffee that had only been sipped and a half-smoked cigar next to the sofa.
"Damn, these cult members really know how to enjoy themselves?"
As he was cursing, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the passage that Lloyd had pointed out earlier.
Everyone was slightly startled and quickly mobilized their spiritual power, preparing to take action.
Lloyd quickly called out through the 'Team Channel':
"Don't worry, come to me."
As he spoke, he ran to an inconspicuous corner and hid there, then he took out a cartoon chameleon toy from his pocket, turned it on, and an invisible force enveloped everyone.
Under the cover of this power, Lloyd and others were able to obtain a 'protective color invisibility' effect similar to that of a chameleon, making them basically undetectable from the outside.
But just in case, Lloyd then deployed his [Realm of Distortion] and performed some kind of "processing" on this invisible force.
Then, three guys with ordinary looks and decent clothes walked into the entertainment room from the corridor.
At first glance, these people don't look like cult members in the traditional sense. They don't have black robes that reveal their identities, or weird tattoos. Even if you run into them on the street, they won't attract much attention.
However, they each held a ritual dagger that was twisted like a venomous snake, and it was emitting an evil green light. It might have been tempered with some kind of poison, or it might have been blessed by some evil power.
One of them even held the ritual dagger across his chest and looked around vigilantly. After not finding anything unusual, he relaxed a little and said:
"No one is here. It seems that the intruder just passed by here and went somewhere else."
"Check it again with inspiration."
Another person spoke up to remind him.
So the three of them used their inspiration together and scanned the entire entertainment room, but still failed to find the makeshift team in the corner.
This is why Lloyd activated the [Distorted Realm]. The 'protective color invisibility' effect of this chameleon toy cannot block other people's inspiration detection, and it will even appear very conspicuous because of those power fluctuations...
Reverse protection belongs to...
Such limitations have resulted in a limited scope of application for this equipment, which is usually used to deal with monsters...
However, with the addition of Lloyd's [Distorted Realm], this drawback was improved, forming true visual invisibility, and not afraid of inspiration detection. Unless the opponent gets close, they cannot be discovered.
In this way, the temporary team can listen to what these cult members talk about with peace of mind...
