I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

On the morning of the second day at the academy, after Lloyd completed today's routine tasks, he finally accumulated 500 unallocated attribute points, so he allocated them first.

200【Reason】, 200【Spiritual Power】, 100【Inspiration】, let my pond expand into a lake!

[Ding~Add points to complete]

[User: Royd]

【state:? ? ? 】

[Insanity value: 547/50000, upper limit: 9000000]

【Rationality: 9000】

[Spiritual power: 9000]

【Inspiration: 6620】

[Cognition: 7800]

[System: Distort LV7, reject LV7, falsehood]

He now has more sources of madness points, including all kinds of forbidden knowledge, helping to share the burden, and so on. His attribute points are growing faster, so he is too lazy to add five or ten points. He just accumulates a few hundred points at a time and adds them all at once.

After expanding his attributes, Lloyd went to the kitchen and made a serious breakfast. He then poured goat milk for the kitten and said to the kitten, who was licking the milk bowl, while eating:

"I have to go out for a while today, remember to take care of the garden before going out to play."

"Meow meow?"

The kitten looked back at him, as if asking why he didn't take him with him when he went out to play?

"It's quite dangerous. Go play with the little pig."

Lloyd scratched his head, finished the breakfast on the table in a few bites, then packed his storage bag and made final preparations before departure.

As for taking the initiative to look for the ancient survivors, after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, he decided to do it alone.

On the one hand, this group of people have no bottom line and will attack other people's relatives and friends. It is very dirty, and Lloyd does not want to implicate others;

On the other hand, this time it was not a large-scale attack or a formal declaration of war, but a first step to find out what their "great cause" was and how worthy the gods who wanted to revive were.

Therefore, it would be more convenient to go alone, and it would be easier to retreat if you encounter an accident.

By the way, if you can get some [Tears of Stars], [Blood of the Most High] or something like that, you don't have to share the profits, just enjoy it to yourself.

As for the way to get there, overall it was the same as last time, taking the three independent school districts directly.

There is an active space storm in every school district, which can be a powerful trump card if things go wrong.

In order to save time, Lloyd set the course for the school district in advance before going to bed last night, and then released some space storms to serve as a driving force to push the school district in that direction in advance.

In this way, when he sets out, he can directly use the portal to enter the school area first, and then enter the territory of the survivors, saving time on the road.

As for the preparation of equipment and supplies, we cannot say that we are armed to the teeth, but we can only say that we are armed to the very hair.

Not only does he carry a large amount of [Blood of the Supreme] to ensure that he can release special skills anytime and anywhere;

At the same time, the academy has sufficient preparations for almost all the equipment and potions that can be exchanged for credits, including the latest firearms, the latest psychic blades, and the latest shield devices. The storage bags are filled to the brim, and even the secret treasure house is piled high. Basically, they can sustain a small legion.

But Lloyd seemed to think that was not enough. Even the [Silhouettes] in the "Book of Vain" were on standby, ready to release the [Silhouettes] of powerful high-ranking figures such as Old York, Professor Deco, and Doctor Latio to help at any time.

With such preparation, Lloyd is still quite confident even if there is only one person, and he is only at level seven.

Even if you can't kill the evil god worshipped on the opposite side on the spot, you should be able to get something you need.

So after the final confirmation, Lloyd's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in the school district that had floated far away.

This is also the advantage of the new version of instant teleportation over the old version of the portal. With the support of level 10 [Space Domination], it can perform such exaggerated long-distance teleportation, which is something the old version of the portal can never do.

Therefore, it is a wise choice to come alone. Otherwise, if you bring teammates, you can only float over slowly in the traditional way.

Lloyd said something in his heart, and reached out his hand towards the invisible space storm, controlling them to gradually converge and calm down, and then asked the three school districts to drop space anchors to fix their positions.

At this time, we are not far from the territory of the ancient survivors, and we can directly teleport there using the new version.

But out of caution, Lloyd did not rush directly into the museum, but chose another safer location.

That is the point where we gave them the 'little surprise' last time.

This will also help us confirm how much damage the original "little surprise" caused.

Then Lloyd's figure flashed again and appeared in the ruins.

He did not rush to look around, but first used the power of [Distortion] to cover his surroundings, directly distorting the light shining on him, making his body instantly transparent.

Then he used the power of [Veto] to cover himself, [Veto] the overflowing spiritual power and aura from his body.

Finally, he activated the two devices hanging around his waist and injected his spiritual power into them.

This was high-end equipment developed by the Engineering Department specifically for covert infiltration. It could deflect and mislead the enemy's intentions to a certain extent. It was said to be very popular with the medical team. It had undergone many actual combat tests by them, and the leading doctor, Dr. Latio, was full of praise for it.

Anyway, it sounds like it should be a very reliable equipment, but why would the medical team consider this kind of stealth equipment?

In short, after completing these three steps, Lloyd is basically in a completely invisible state. Unless he bumps into someone else's face, even if he uses inspiration to search, it will be blocked by the interference of the equipment.

After completing the 'invisibility', Lloyd looked around, only to find that the scene in front of him was not quite the same as what he had imagined?

According to the data detected by Professor Lawrence, and based on our speculations, we should see ruins and devastation everywhere.

The ruins that Lloyd could see actually only accounted for a very small part...

The vast majority of the remaining areas presented a painting style that made him feel very familiar.

Desolate, dead silent, and gloomy, it was somewhat similar to the wasteland in his [mind field].

It's just that the area is slightly smaller, and it is distributed in a circular shape, with the ruins where Lloyd is currently standing as the center and radiating out in all directions.

Why does this happen?

Lloyd himself didn't expect that the "little surprise" would actually create such a scene, and he was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, just stuffing a lot of explosives and poisons into it and injecting a part of one's own strength into it should not be able to cause such an exaggerated effect, right?

So what kind of chemical reaction actually occurs here?

I don’t understand…

Moreover, so much time has passed that the remaining spiritual charm in the air has long disappeared, and there is no way to analyze and study it...

We can only look for opportunities to trigger a few more 'little surprises' to see if we can recreate this effect.

Since Lloyd came here fully prepared, some small surprises were bound to be in the cards.

Even more than the last time...

Just at this moment, he noticed that there seemed to be some movement in the distance, so he quickly gathered his inspiration, maintained only his spiritual vision, and then moved closer in that direction.

It turned out that there were a dozen or so ancient survivors conducting some kind of research and investigation?

Their figures did not look particularly alienated, and were even more humanoid than those Lloyd had seen before.

There were even a few who had no trace of monsters on their exterior, but they seemed to be the lowest in the group, being ordered around in various ways and responsible for carrying a bunch of heavy equipment.

The leader, who was the most alienated among the group and almost no longer in human form, was using his insect-like tentacles to wrap a whip, occasionally whipping the air with a few cracks, and threatening viciously:

"Hurry up! We can't stay in this place for too long. If you untouchables don't want to be whipped, be quick!"

Under its threat, the untouchables immediately fell silent, and hurriedly endured the fatigue and muscle pain, and used all their strength to move those large equipment.

Lloyd observed from the side and roughly understood the hierarchy of this group of survivors. It should be that the less human they are, the higher their status?

On the contrary, those few untouchables were more interesting to look at. Although their clothes had long been dirty and torn, they could still be barely identified. They should be from the modern world and did not look like the style of the ancient survivors.

Moreover, these people's temperament and appearance do not look like the kind of working people who do manual labor. Instead, they still have some aristocratic temperament. They are obviously in such a miserable state, but how can we still find things like collar clips and watch chains on them?

This made Lloyd curious about the origins of these people, so he didn't rush to take action, but continued to observe patiently.

The group of survivors moved forward for a distance and finally stopped at a location far away from the center of the ruins. The few human-shaped survivors immediately fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

But he was immediately kicked away by several other survivors whose level of anthropomorphism was medium.

"Get out of here! Don't dirty these valuable equipment! Otherwise, I'll skin you alive and you won't be able to pay for it!"

"What a bunch of low-level creatures, not even useful as livestock."

After hearing these two sentences, a humanoid survivor who still had a bit of plumpness on his face finally couldn't help it anymore. He immediately exploded, wailing and rolling on the ground, crying:

"That's not the case! This is not the life I want! I have given you all my property. I have even abandoned my parents, wife and children. I have given so much, but I am not here to be a slave! You are a bunch of liars..."

Before he could finish shouting, a sharp leather whip came like a poisonous snake, wrapped around his neck, and whipped him hard.

As a human head flew high into the sky, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"What a stupid bastard..."

The leader of the survivors said coldly, pulled back the whip, and asked the remaining human survivors:

"What about you? Do you regret it like him?"

The humanoid survivors were so frightened that they jumped up and knelt before it, kowtowed repeatedly, and said tremblingly:

"No, no! This is definitely the best decision I have ever made in my life!"

"Yes, yes, I have never felt so fulfilled and happy as I do today."

"I voluntarily offer you everything I have!"

Lloyd looked at this scene and roughly understood it.

These people were not captured, but came here voluntarily.

Maybe they had been smuggled away before the den was busted, or maybe they were from other cities?

They may have been wealthy and had a high status, but perhaps they were tired of that kind of affluent life, so they came here to experience what it's like to be a slave.

Lloyd not only had no sympathy for this kind of people, but he felt very happy instead.

I only regret that I didn’t bring any video recording equipment, otherwise I would definitely record this interesting scene and share it back home.

He continued to be patient, moved closer, and continued to observe this group of survivors.

But we soon discovered that those heavy equipment that needed to be carried on shoulders and backs were actually used for space measurement?

And although it is big enough, its performance is very primitive, and it even needs to be cranked to provide energy?

The calculated results were not like the space system, which directly listed various data on a light screen, but spit out a bunch of paper strips with various small holes on them. The survivors then compared them with a large book and analyzed them, and finally came up with a few sets of pitiful readings.

Such equipment cannot even compare with the large space devices, let alone the ones that can be carried with you.

It feels like a 'return to the basics'?

But then again, considering the origin of human beings in this world... perhaps the ancient survivors chose this path of "returning to primitive times"?

Otherwise, when they were still human beings, their social form had evolved to the level of feudal kingdom. But after coming in, they began to regard themselves as "tribes", which was a step backwards.

At first Lloyd didn't quite understand why. He couldn't say that this group of people thought they were playing a Paradox game, right?

Now thinking back on it, it seems that I can find an explanation.

Perhaps they were bewitched by evil spirits, or perhaps they stayed in the alien space for too long and their brains went haywire, so they chose this path.

This also explains why they are more resistant to mental pollution than ordinary people and why they take pride in their alienated bodies.

Because 'returning to primitive times' is the outcome that spiritual pollution wants to achieve. They give up resistance and choose to comply, so it will naturally be easier to deal with them.

But it is not possible to be completely immune, because what spiritual pollution wants to restore is not just the appearance, but also the rationality that needs to return to its original state.
