I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Finally, Lloyd activated his spatial ability and, with the help of the 'solution' left in the indescribable statue, reversely calculated the coordinates of the other end, and then created a temporary portal.

However, just as he was controlling the [Projection] and preparing to throw the big 'surprise' in, he suddenly thought of something, so he spent a few more seconds doing something on the surface of the lead bucket, leaving a mark on it that had no clear direction.

It was just that the material used to engrave the mark was exactly the metal scraps he had obtained from the hexahedron statue earlier...

So this mark does not have a clear direction, but it is very suggestive...

It just so happened that he only had a small amount of these raw materials mixed with the flesh and blood of the evil god's offspring on hand. The fragments he had obtained before were either spent on various places or used on the [Projection]. In the end, only these fragments that were not even fragments were left. He couldn't use them, but he couldn't throw them away. He didn't know what to do with them.

Now, using this last bit of scraps to create a kind of misleading and hinting thing can be considered as making the best use of it.

After completing this last step, Lloyd reached out and tapped the surface of the lead barrel a few times at a specific frequency, rhythmically infiltrating a stream of spiritual power into it.

Then he quickly asked the [Projection] to stuff the lead bucket into the portal, and then quickly closed the portal.

"Phew~ That should be fine."

Lloyd let out a long breath and clapped his hands.

Several temporary teammates were about to ask questions when they suddenly felt an indescribable slight vibration in the air, as if a very terrifying explosion had occurred far away from here.

Lloyd could obviously feel the vibration, so he quickly explained:

"It's okay. There's just a little noise coming from the gap left by the portal. Don't worry. It won't affect us."

Old York shook his head and asked:

"Well...we are not worried about this. Instead, we are more concerned about what is behind the portal before?"

Lloyd thought about it for a moment. Since these temporary teammates had already completed today's adventure with him, it was time to reveal some information about the ancient survivors to them.

So he followed his temporary teammates to briefly count the property at the scene, and talked about the group of ancient survivors.

However, what surprised him was that these investigators did not seem too surprised about the power behind this evil cult?

Even what Old York said sounded a little weird?

"I see. It turns out that such an ancient force really existed. It seems that the previous hypotheses and conjectures about this matter are not groundless..."

Several other investigators followed suit and discussed:

"That's right! I was wondering why there were so many abnormal events and strange sealed objects in this world. It turns out that someone is behind this!"

"Uh... what you said is not the same as what the two professors said, right? It also has nothing to do with the hypothesis mentioned by Professor York..."

"what???"

"That's right. The hypotheses I mentioned are mainly used to explain some unusual monster attacks, as well as some strange murders and thefts. As for sealed objects and abnormal events... those are more environmental issues, right?"

"Ahaha, so that's how it is? Sorry, I'm not well-educated and I made you laugh."

Although Old York did not explain anything in detail, Lloyd was able to piece together a general picture from the fragments of conversation they had behind him.

Simply put, no matter how insidious and cunning the ancient survivors act, they will more or less leave some unusual clues, and this is exactly the professional field of investigators. Naturally, they will have some suspicions and speculate whether there is some evil force planning and promoting certain events behind the scenes.

It's just speculation, just speculation. Without any real evidence, it can only be limited to the hypothesis level, which seems more like a "conspiracy theory", so it cannot be promoted and can only be circulated within their circle of investigators.

So when they learned the truth from Lloyd today, they were not surprised. Instead, they found the final answers to many unsolved cases and puzzles.

At this time, Old York spoke again and made a summary:

"Just as Lloyd said, this group of ancient survivors harbored strong malice towards us, and they began to interfere with the world a long time ago, at least before I became an investigator. However, they ultimately did not dare to go too far due to the power of the Saint..."

"A cult organization of this size must have been accumulated over a long period of time, right? Haha~ We wiped them out in one fell swoop. It's so satisfying! I didn't expect that at my age, I could still be a hero who saves the city?"

"Of course, this is also thanks to Lloyd. If you weren't here, even if we found something, it would be difficult for us to break into such a dangerous cult base..."

"Even if we report this to the Holy Grace Court, it will probably be difficult to launch specific actions. Even if we do take action, this group of people will have plenty of time to respond and escape. In the end, it will either be a bloody battle or nothing..."

When Old York said this, he couldn't help but think of the list he had kept by himself. The names on it were really shocking...

The only good news is that the list mainly involves the city council, and not many members of the Radiant Order are implicated.

So Old York quickly adjusted his mood and said:

"In short, please allow me to express my sincerest respect to Lloyd. You not only protected and saved the Lord's family, but also protected and saved our city."

When he said this, he actually walked up to Lloyd and bowed deeply to him.

The same thing happened to several other investigators. They all dropped the inventory work at hand and came to Lloyd to pay their respects to him in the same way.

Lloyd smiled, scratched his head, and answered modestly:

"Hehe~ You guys are too kind. I have grown through hard work and sweat just to show my excellence in a situation like today."

This sentence made several teammates hesitate to speak...

I felt that what he said sounded a little strange, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong?

After the atmosphere was awkward for more than ten seconds, Old York spoke again and mentioned another topic:

"Haha~ No matter what, the Lord has made a fortune by finding a son-in-law like you... Haha~ This really makes people envious and jealous. The son-in-law my daughter found for me is just a lazy boy who can only eat and wait for death, and then he tried every means to cheat me of my savings. The comparison between people is sometimes really helpless and embarrassing."

"Uh...you can put it this way. Actually, Uncle Lord has never agreed to my matter with Weiya."

"Ha~ That's just his aristocratic arrogance at work. Don't worry about it. I'll talk to him later. Just get along with Weiya as you should. Don't worry about that old guy...

But then again, I have been a security consultant for the Rand family for so many years, and I have watched this little girl, Weiya, grow up under my watch, so if possible, I hope you, Lloyd, will not let her down. She is really a very rare good girl, unlike my useless daughter. "

"Don't worry, I will never let her down."

Lloyd immediately answered with a solemn oath.

Then he picked up his pocket watch to check the time and got back to business:

"By the way, everyone should hurry up, it's getting late... Besides, after today's incident, there are still follow-up matters that need to be resolved."

Although today's wave wiped out all the top leaders and most of the members of this evil cult in one fell swoop, there are still many who slipped through the net and escaped the sanctions tonight.

After all, the total number of members in this cult was nearly two thousand, but only more than one thousand were killed tonight, and many still escaped.

For example, the congressman's representative is still being tortured by the [Seed of Twist] left by Lloyd, and he did not appear here tonight.

As for how to deal with these remnants, Lloyd didn't intend to ask any more questions and left it to the Holy Grace Court to handle.

Considering his relationship with Hiltina, if all these remnants were sent to the mines to do hard labor, would that be considered "subsidizing the family income"?

As for the pile of valuables on the ground, Old York hinted that everyone could choose some of the ones they liked as a reward for their hard work, but don't really put them in snakeskin sacks. It's better to leave some for the purpose of reporting to the Holy Inquisition later.

At the same time, it was also made clear that everyone did not have to worry about not making money. The remuneration from the future father-in-law alone was definitely an exaggerated figure.

So Lloyd just grabbed two handfuls of gold bars and stuffed them into his storage bag, too lazy to count them. He wasn't going to use them anyway; they were just going to be used as additives in the strange potions in the medical department.

He really looked down on these vulgar things now. Although the gold, silver, jewelry, bills of exchange, bonds, etc. in this room looked very eye-catching, but in terms of actual value, it was hard to say whether all of them added together were enough to pay for the raw materials of his sister's bracelet...

The [Star Tears] content of that bracelet is still quite high...

However, Old York secretly handed Lloyd two cloth bags. When he opened them, he saw some gorgeous jewelry and dazzling gems inside. Some of them were selected from the ground, and some were found in the butler's bedroom.

"Although Wei Ya is a very gentle and unassuming child, she is still a little girl after all, so she must like these things."

Old York hinted as he stuffed two cloth bags into Lloyd's hands.

As a progressive young man who had received higher education, Lloyd naturally would not refuse other people's kindness, so he accepted it.

In addition, he also accepted the large piece of indescribable sculpture in the middle of the altar.

Even though this thing is just a youth version, it is not a big deal to just leave it here. What's more, the rough-grade space channel left on it has not been destroyed by Lloyd. I am also considering that it may be of some use in the future, so I might as well keep it.

It would be best if we could find some people from the art department to help study the principles and structure of this sculpture and see if we can figure out its true purpose.

However, such a large sculpture certainly could not be stuffed into the storage bag, so Lloyd set up a large space channel and directly teleported the entire sculpture along with the base underneath.

As for the destination of teleportation, it was naturally the "big black prison" he had carefully built, which was the center of the space storm, together with the artworks and monsters he had captured before.

In this way, even if the ancient survivors came to their senses and planned to retaliate through this rough-grade space channel, they would have to first ask whether the space storm agrees.

With their level of space technology, a space storm is enough for them to entertain themselves for a lifetime.

After dealing with this pile of sculptures, Lloyd continued to open the portal and went to the deep experimental area where the devil was imprisoned.

I don’t know if it was because of the roar just now that made the demons’ voices hoarse. Anyway, after Lloyd approached, they didn’t make any noise. They just naturally emitted mental pollution, which gave Lloyd a little bit of a headache.

However, Lloyd did not rush into the experimental area. His inspiration and strange intuition began to remind him that the area inside was a little unusual, so it would be best to be fully prepared before coming here.
