I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"Eh? This place... looks eerie and scary..."

Evelor looked at the surrounding environment, shrank her petite body slightly, and then counterintuitively stood in front of Weiya.

Wei Ya also noticed the sheep-headed monster with a monocle and several strangely dressed criminals surrounding it.

What followed was the established plot in a scene, and then a beautiful girl with a long knife and no shoes appeared at the door.

"Oh no, that girl must have broken in here accidentally. She might be in danger. Let's go help her."

Evelor said this and quickly pulled Weiya and ran in that direction.

"Eh? But..."

Wei Ya has obviously "read the plot" and knows that the evil forces in the hall have no hostility towards her. Instead, they are trying to win her over and help them attack a certain force. She is hesitating whether she should stick to the justice in her heart, or should she be a hero who recognizes the times?

But Evelor didn't seem to think so much. Maybe because he saw that the girl was pretty and cute, he ran over to help her immediately.

"Sister, wait a minute, what if she is the real enemy?"

"Will not!"

Everole shook her head very firmly and came to the girl.

She was so tall that even without shoes, Everole had to look up to talk to her:

"Hello, let's get out of here together as soon as possible. There are only bad guys here."

The girl looked a little dazed and didn't say anything. She just looked down at Everol and then nodded silently.

Then, as if to show her friendliness, she magically took out a white peach from her long sleeves and handed it to Evelor.

"Scared? Thank you."

But at this moment, the "criminals" on the opposite side had already started to riot, and were about to surround and attack the girl.

Then Everole and Weiya saw that the girl's eyes suddenly changed, and her body was left with only pale white and bright red, and then she raised the long sword in her hand high.

"Like a tide, leading you home..."

After a blow that seemed to split heaven and earth, the whole world became peaceful...

Everole and Weiya, who were standing next to the girl, were stunned.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out who the boss was...

And just like that, they accidentally passed this difficult scene known as the 'Mizkatok Nightmare'.

However, this is only the first scene of this scenario...

The two people's gaze changed immediately and they came to the next scene.

This time, they were in what looked like a luxury hotel lobby.

In addition to the beautiful girl who can change color in front, there is another girl with a black veil, a hot body, and floating in the air. She is very beautiful, mysterious and elegant.

Opposite the crowd, there was a strange man in white armor, twisting the corpse of a monster in his hands.

After noticing someone approaching, the armored man dropped the corpse in his hand, turned around, and said to the people on Evelor's side:

"A fusion warrior and... Herrscher, just leave now, no one will get hurt, otherwise, you will all die!"

Evelor immediately wanted to retreat with Weiya, but the other party did not give her the chance to choose. A pair of emerald green wings spread out from the back of the armor and pounced towards them like a moth.

"I…wasn't I planning on leaving?"

A big melee inevitably broke out.

Although the armored monster was coming with great force, there were obviously more people on Evelor's side, not to mention that she had very exaggerated attributes. With the blessing of 'Cute Little Eve', her critical hit damage was as high as 3000.

So she simply released the [Declaration of Veto] that she had just learned last night...

The armored monster on the opposite side was directly knocked away and disappeared...

They thought they would be able to pass the test like this, but the words "Mission Failed" appeared in front of their eyes?

Then the rating appeared in front of me. Since I only completed the first act, the rating was only a pitiful 'D-' and a few points.

"Eh? Why is this happening?"

Everole, who came to the rest area, was very confused.

"Didn't we already defeat that armored weirdo?"

Wei Ya was even more confused than her and questioned Lloyd's design:

"The description of this trial scene is that we need to make the right choice to reach the final outcome... But how can we make the right choice in the situation just now? Isn't there any information or hints?"

As she spoke, she remembered another question and asked curiously:

"By the way, sister, how did you know that in the first scene, we had to choose to stand on the side of the mysterious girl?"

"Hmm? Well... I just saw that she was very pretty and she wasn't wearing shoes. She was Xiao Yi's type. She shouldn't be a bad person, right? After all, this scene was designed by Xiao Yi, so he must have added some of his personal preferences into it."

"Eh? So Lloyd likes tall and slim girls like this? No wonder he always..."

Wei Ya originally wanted to say that it was no wonder that Lloyd always liked to play with her legs when they were intimate.

But Everoel shook his head and explained:

"No, Xiao Yi likes not to wear shoes..."

"Eh? This..."

Wei Ya immediately recalled the image of the Saint of Veto that had appeared in her eyes before.

She was wearing an exquisite evening gown and black stockings, and she was really not wearing shoes...

Is this the reason why I lost to her?

But I am different from the saint, and I can't float and walk like her...

While she was daydreaming, Weiya heard Evelor say:

"Okay, let's move on to the next scene? It seems like we have to clear four scenes in a row before we can leave this time?"

"OK, all right."

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

At this time, Lloyd was outside, with several light screens floating in front of him, like an old man in the monitoring room, paying attention to the progress of each trial.

"Huh? How come my sister was the first to be eliminated? This shouldn't be the case. Doesn't this make it seem like my 3000 critical hit damage wasted?"

He was a little puzzled and quickly replayed what had happened between Everole and Weiya.

This playback function is also newly added in this major update. For any scene that has ended, it can replay the specific process, and can also fast forward and pause, which is very convenient.

In addition, there is a corresponding data recording function, so even if you are not watching it, you can still understand the settlement status of each trial.

"Uh... So we have entered this scene? Blame it on me, because the people of Mitzkatok never made it through the first act and forgot to optimize the second act. Without some information and hints, the participants naturally couldn't make the right choice..."

"Let's adjust it later. Try to hint that the way to pass the level is not to fight the enemy, but to find a way to escape."

"But then again, the people of Mizzikatok are still stuck in the first act, still trying to figure out how to fight the enemy. They've reached a dead end, right? This is a common problem among scholars..."

"My sister is really amazing. She found the key to pass the level right away. This shows that many seemingly unsolvable problems can sometimes be solved by just changing the perspective."

Lloyd pondered over it in his mind and wrote down the project that needed to be optimized and updated next.

Although the main purpose of launching the [Trial of Illusion] has changed from helping himself study [illusion] to using [illusion] to influence reality, some of the scenes designed before that are not related to "history" have been retained by Lloyd.

For example, fighting zombies and Mizzkatok Nightmare.

Even added a few new ones.

Because Lloyd didn't dare to let the testers enter those "real history" scenes continuously, which would have some adverse effects on them.

The basis for this is a large feedback report given by Professor Deco after returning to the academy this time, which specifically mentioned that if individual testers entered the "real history" scene continuously in a short period of time, some strange anomalies would occur.

For example, cognitive confusion, talking nonsense in an ancient language; or sudden coma for unknown reasons; and staying in historical scenes and being unwilling to evacuate correctly.

These conditions sound very dangerous, but fortunately they have not caused any major trouble for the time being. People who show symptoms only need to rest for a night and they will basically recover naturally.

But Professor Deco did not dare to push too hard, so he could only reduce the frequency of entering the "real history" scenes, and the probability of such symptoms appearing was much lower.

He also asked people from the medical department to help analyze the cause of the disease. They have not yet reached an effective conclusion, but have roughly concluded that everyone's physique, strength, and rank are different, so their adaptability to these historical scenes is also somewhat different.

For this reason, he specifically reminded Lloyd that he could try to expand the sample size to see if he could summarize more rules, but he also had to be careful not to cause any deaths.

Lloyd was a little surprised to see such symptoms, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed reasonable?

It is just like the saying "You are staring into the abyss, and the abyss is also staring into you". Since reality can be interfered with through illusion, it is not surprising that reality in turn affects people in illusion.

Of course, this phenomenon must be avoided as much as possible, and a solution must be found as soon as possible.

It’s just that there are too few testers and the samples are totally insufficient.

But we don't dare to do anything as if we are taking human lives lightly, so we still have to be more careful.

Therefore, although Lloyd has increased the amount of testing this time, he has also paid special attention to this hidden danger. The scenes he arranged are all divergent. After experiencing a "real history" scene, the next one will be a purely virtual scene for entertainment.

He wanted to see if he could avoid the phenomenon described by Professor Deco in this way.

However, except for Everole and Weiya, the first scenes that other teams randomly arrived at were all "real history" types, and they were fighting fiercely in them.

This clearly showed signs of deliberate adjustment by Lloyd.

After all, this is his main research direction.

He needed to use this to figure out what the Redeemer meant by "changing the world and returning to the past."

This is a very puzzling statement, and it sounds counter-intuitive. Normally, isn't it "going back in time and changing the world"? How come it's the other way around?

But this is definitely not the Saint of Redemption talking nonsense. This deliberately reversed order may be the key to solving the mystery.

Lloyd seemed to have a clue about this, but not much, so he could only continue testing to verify his ideas.

So he looked at the "Investigator Team" which was fighting the most fiercely on the screen.

This time they were not randomly assigned to the bloody battle in the fortress, but were fighting a more arduous and difficult field battle.

In this scenario, there is no good terrain to utilize like on the city wall, and there are no NPC soldiers or strong men to help.

But the number of monsters on the other side has not decreased at all...

Moreover, these are monsters that have already mastered mental pollution. When you kill them, although you will not actually suffer from mental pollution, the symptoms of concurrent cranial pain, dizziness and tinnitus will be retained.

Even though Lloyd prepared stronger weapons for them and reduced the pain they could feel in order to reduce the difficulty, the two young investigators were eliminated within less than 5 minutes of the start...

The remaining Bai Yueguang and Old York were still holding on, but one was already covered in wounds, and the other had exhausted the power of the law and had shrunk from a muscular old man to an ordinary old man.

"Damn, the terrain of this damn place is so bad..."

Investigator Bai Yueguang looked at the monsters that were surging up at him, but he himself was lying on the ground, unable to move, and could only curse.

"Hu~Hu~Not only that...Hu~The fighting spirit of those soldiers is too weak...Such a long front collapsed at the first touch...We were divided and surrounded...If they were stronger, we might be able to break through..."

"It was because those two guys were too careless that they were killed right at the start. Otherwise, if they had helped us, we wouldn't be in such a mess and could have tried to break out."

"It's normal for young people, so don't be too harsh on them."

The two of them just kept on panting and chatting until they were completely overwhelmed by the monsters that rushed over, and then they were very frustrated and received a 'D' grade rating.

"This scene is obviously more difficult than the previous fortress..."

Old York wiped his forehead, but found that there was no sweat at all and he had recovered as before.

"Yes, this is even though we have equipment beyond history to use, and we have the help of modern experience and knowledge. We are still in such a mess. You can imagine how difficult it was for the ancients back then..."

Investigator Bai Yueguang also sighed.

The other two guys who were given it for free at the speed of light could only shrink their heads, their faces full of shame, and they didn't dare to talk.

"It is truly a miracle that our human civilization has survived to this day."

Old York concluded.
