I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

After escaping this crisis, Lloyd collapsed on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

It wasn't until his sister and the kitten came home that he slowly came to his senses.

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Evelor had just taken off her little leather shoes when she noticed her brother, who looked gloomy and even desperate. She didn't even bother to change her slippers, but quickly came over, held Lloyd's face with her little hands, and touched his forehead with her eyelids.

"Eh...I don't think you have a fever?"

Lloyd sensed his sister's concern, and his originally gloomy face gradually recovered. He quickly shook his head, rubbed his sister's forehead, and replied:

"I'm fine, I just encountered a very difficult problem..."

"Is that so... uh... I'm not well educated and don't know how to help you."

"It's okay. Sister, as long as you stay by my side, you will be the greatest help to me."

Lloyd smiled, stood up from the sofa, and continued:

"I won't be eating dinner at home. I need to go out for a while."

"Eh? Okay... I'll wait for you to come back then."

Evelor looked at her brother eagerly, her eyes full of worry.

Lloyd nodded, and then he opened a portal. Just as he was about to walk in, he suddenly thought of something...

Then he hurried back to Evelor and gave his sister a tight hug.

Then he whispered something incomprehensible in her ear:

"Sister, you may have just saved the world."

"Ok?"

Evelor was confused and was about to ask more questions, but Lloyd had already disappeared into the portal.

She could only sit cross-legged on the sofa, grab the kitten next to her, and ask:

"Xiao Yi...what happened? He seemed very lost just now, but then he recovered? And then he said something very strange."

"Meow meow meow!"

The little kitten waved its furry little paws and rolled around in Everole's palm, as if trying to be cute.

Evelor looked at it and asked tentatively:

"You mean, he's actually working very hard, and it's not as easy as it looks? So when he comes back later, we should spend some time with him and help him relax?"

"Meow meow!"

The little kitten nodded vigorously, indicating that Everole understood what he meant.

But this is outrageous. Even Lloyd didn't know what the little kitten was trying to express, but Everole could understand it?

"Well, okay, I'll go take a shower and then change into a pair of clean stockings."

Evelor said as she put the kitten down. Then a slightly charming smile appeared on her face, and she added in a low voice:

"Although Xiao Yi has never admitted it, it seems that he has always liked girls' feet?"

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

When Lloyd landed, he had already arrived at the City of Joy, but he didn't have time to look for Eloro. Instead, he ran directly to find Professor Toledo.

"Oh? The little robot I used last time was very useful. Do you want more? That's no problem. After all, we are friends for life and death. But you can see the situation here. You have to wait for a while."

Professor Toledo said, pointing to the group of 'Palu' under his command.

Everyone still looked tired, as if they hadn't slept at all.

It's really busy here. If we wait for Professor Toledo to find time, it will take who knows how long.

Lloyd obviously couldn't wait that long, so he reached out and opened another portal, then grabbed Professor Toledo's arm and asked him to put his hand on the door handle.

“Ah wow wow wow wow! What…what the hell is that place back there? Are you going to kill me?”

There is no need for any other reminders. Just look at Professor Toledo's jumping reaction to know how dangerous the place behind the door is...

Behind this door is the location where Lloyd had previously sensed the strange fluctuations. It is not very accurate and may have a large deviation.

However, this is enough to prove how dangerous and terrifying the world outside the human-controlled area is.

Even Lloyd was deeply afraid of what was behind the door, so he quickly waved his hand to cancel the portal, and then continued to talk to Professor Toledo:

"That place behind is beyond the current human control. It may be an ancient battlefield in the past..."

"Before I came here, I slightly interfered with and influenced that area in some special way. I believe you can realize what this means, right?"

"And your stupid little robot is an important device for me to interfere there."

After hearing this, Professor Toledo put down the forms in his hand, stared into Lloyd's eyes, and asked seriously:

"You're kidding me, right? You, plus my little toy, can help us humans take back our former territory?"

“It’s not that optimistic yet, but at least we can see a path.”

Lloyd didn't dare to say too much, and then turned around and said to the air:

"Of course, this also requires the help of the saints."

As soon as he finished speaking, a line of text appeared in front of him:

"Evaluation. This array is very happy to provide assistance to holders of level 3 permissions, but based on your description, I can't find any corresponding records in the database, nor can I analyze the feasibility..."

"According to the existing records in the database, the territories that humans once occupied are completely forbidden areas for life that cannot be set foot in the current human civilization. There is also a 92% probability that the environment in those areas has undergone very severe changes. At this stage, humans only have a very small chance of surviving in them..."

"Of course, this includes you."

Lloyd did not refute these words, but nodded and responded:

"You are right. In a sense, those areas cannot be regarded as the real world in common sense. It is hard to say whether there is air or not. So I prefer to use the word 'abyss' to refer to those places..."

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with your analysis. Even saints can't get through that kind of hellhole. We ordinary extraordinary people definitely can't get through it..."

"But I am currently studying a new system of power that is not recorded in your database. It may be the key to changing the world... and the help you can provide me is to allow me to study this new power faster."

After the deep thought just now, Lloyd finally realized that hiding blindly was not a solution, and that "arrogant bastard" would find him one day.

So the best response is to become stronger, to become stronger in every way possible.

It's not even about becoming stronger yourself, but about making everyone stronger together, concentrating all your strength.

If you want to take both aspects into consideration, the best way is to use your own [Vanity Trial]

You can gain madness points while others can gain attribute points.

At the same time, a certain power generated during the trial can have a certain impact on those abyss areas.

Although it is still unclear at this stage whether this influence is positive or negative, since the [Trial of Illusion] is created by myself and the [Illusion] system is explored by myself, I can work hard in a positive direction.

If the power of "interfering with reality with illusion" is strong enough, perhaps he can realize his previous fantasy and allow humans to clean up or purify those abyss areas without leaving their homes, just by passing the [Trial of Illusion].

Once this effect can be achieved, whether humans are opening up more living space or building a new city for themselves, everything will be much easier and more convenient.

Otherwise, a major development would take ten years at a time, and it is very likely that by the time I become a saint, the major development would still be in the early stages of preparation...

In addition to the above benefits and advantages, there is another more important and critical point, which is the one that will cause severe headaches and attract the terrible conclusion of the "arrogant bastard" -

In madness and chaos, illusion and reality converge and merge, giving birth to true greatness.

Whether it was the previous headache or the sudden appearance of the "Arrogant Bastard", it was enough to prove that Lloyd's guess at the time was not a delusion, but touched upon a truly dangerous level.

Although Lloyd no longer dared to think about the specific meaning of this conclusion, he could still recall the earliest and most basic mumblings he had heard, or... hymns?

Fall into the abyss;

Touch the truth;

Embrace the madness;

Grace is enjoyed without order;

Face the chaos.

If we regard the past territories of mankind as the [Abyss], and if we regard illusion as a certain level of [Disorder]...

The road to becoming a god lies here!

Although there are still many missing details, Lloyd can at least understand the general direction.

So to sum up, [Vanity] is a very important force, and [Trial of Vanity] may become an important opportunity to change the future of mankind.

At the same time, [distortion] and [veto] are also very critical core elements.

The previous risky experience allowed Lloyd to not only learn about the dangerous conclusion, but also gain a deeper understanding of supernatural powers and supernatural systems.

This is not reflected in the panel or certain attribute values, but more like a "flash of inspiration" or the "epiphany" in online novels.

It's a pity that the degree was not enough. With a splitting headache and the crisis at that time, Lloyd failed to grasp the opportunity well, so the final gains were not much, and he failed to summarize any effective and objective theories.

He could only vaguely feel that [Distortion] and [Veto], the two extraordinary systems that he was best at, were not just simple powers or tools, but could become a key step.

The future of mankind is far away, and having the "key" of [vanity] alone is obviously not enough. We also need a Tower of Babel that is tall and majestic enough to find the door that corresponds to the key.

So Lloyd continued to follow this line of thought and found that the first extraordinary system he came into contact with was exactly [Distortion] and [Veto]...

This in turn led to an even more horrifying speculation:

Am I really a book? Are the 'plots' I've experienced written by others?

Lloyd thought deeply about it and was stumped by this question...

At that time, he really began to doubt whether he was a human being, so he looked as pale as death, as if he had lost his parents.

Fortunately, Evelor came back in time and rescued Lloyd from this pessimistic fantasy.

Yes! I have a sister who depends on me for everything, I have a childhood sweetheart, I have a gentle and considerate girlfriend, I have a sweet and well-behaved girlfriend...

I also have a kitten, and many friends, classmates, and teachers...

How could I be a book? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

I am a human being, a real human being, no one can question it!

After reaffirming his belief in his heart, Lloyd's complexion gradually improved, which led to the inexplicable words he said to Evelor later.

I can only say that fortunately I have my sister by my side, otherwise...

In short, this was the reason for Lloyd's deep thoughts before, and the reason why he came to the City of Joy to seek help was naturally because of the [Trial of Falsehood].

It is obviously not enough to rely solely on the trial in the academy.

The little interference that occurred at that time did not cause any impact, let alone the waves it caused. If it were not for the Book of Falsehood, Lloyd would not have noticed it.

Therefore, we must find a way to expand the scale of the trial as soon as possible to allow more people to participate.

But we can't rush into anything too hastily or cause a tragedy...

So Lloyd cannot blindly recruit people to join his gang. He still needs some preparation.

On the other hand, 0-006 and Professor Toledo, after listening to Lloyd's explanation, did not hesitate. One of them spoke directly, while the other used subtitles to ask in unison:

"So what do you need me to do?"

Lloyd then put forward a series of his demands, discussed with them, and finalized a general plan.

Although some details still need to be filled in, some preliminary preparations can already begin, so Professor Toledo announced in public:

"Everyone, due to some special circumstances, I need to return to the academy for a while. I will leave this place to you temporarily. Don't worry, just follow the schedule we set before."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of 'Palu' nearby cheered as if they could have a day off tomorrow.

Lloyd looked at Professor Toledo suspiciously.

The other party smiled awkwardly and explained:

"Actually, the schedule I originally made was quite scientific and relaxed. However, as you know, all kinds of new problems will always emerge during the research process, and the workload is inevitably..."

"Okay, stop talking. I know everything. Let them take a rest."

"Haha, how about that, take me back to the academy?"

Lloyd then opened a portal and watched Professor Toledo disappear into it.

Then another line of subtitles appeared in front of me:

"Ms. Eloro is aware of your visit and is waiting to have dinner with you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lloyd nodded.

It just so happens that I haven’t spent time with Eloro for a while, so this is a good opportunity for us to spend some time together.

This is definitely not a scumbag behavior, but it is to consolidate one's cognition as a human being, which is very important!!
