I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Since the topic had come to this point, Lloyd had no choice but to cough twice, clear his throat, and then repeat the story of how he killed an ancient mushroom god deep in the ancient military base.

Then, looking at the shocked and surprised expressions on everyone's faces, I still felt a little proud in my heart.

It took several minutes for the audience to express their feelings and questions.

"I used to think that you were only slightly better than me, and even inferior to me in terms of emotions. You didn't even have a pretty girl by your side, but you can actually kill a god? Damn it! You didn't tell me such an important thing?"

"Although I believe you didn't lie to me, Lloyd, this result is really... I'm sorry... I need to digest it for a while."

"That's a god! A true god who is high above! No matter how weak he is, it's hard for us humans to reach him, right? Could it be that Professor Lloyd has surpassed the level of humans? Is he no longer a human?"

"Why do you sound like you're cursing me?"

"No matter how exaggerated or unimaginable it is, Professor Lloyd has personally proved that gods are not unkillable. They will also fall! So if it is really a god who caused our current suffering, perhaps we can do it too?"

"What I don't understand the most is why Professor Lloyd is so low-key about this matter? If I had killed an ancient god, I would have made it the headline of the newspaper for three days!"

"How can three days be enough? If it were me, I would have to report for at least a year!"

Seeing that the topic had begun to turn in a strange direction, Lloyd quickly made a "hands down" gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet for a moment.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's get back to the point... Anyway, with the fall of that ancient god, there is no such thing as a karma demon in this world..."

As he was speaking, his good friend Toledo couldn't help but interrupt:

"By analogy, if we can kill the gods behind the monsters, will the monsters and mental pollution also disappear?"

I think I'd better kill you first!

Lloyd muttered inwardly in annoyance.

Monsters are humans who have been "restored" or "reverted". Mental pollution is actually the last layer of protection for this world, ensuring that all living things in the world will not be completely exterminated by a higher level of power.

Such a truth is really heavy and cruel. Lloyd does not plan to make it public in the short term. Otherwise, if this matter is not handled properly, it will lead to a crisis of cognitive collapse for all mankind, and the entire human civilization may collapse as a result.

Lloyd couldn't imagine that his relatives, friends, lovers and wife would all turn back into monsters...

If we want to reveal the truth, we can only consider it after everything has settled and mankind has rebuilt civilization.

It would be a safer option to keep it as an eternal secret and hide it in your heart forever.

So in response to Toledo's statement, he could only say:

"Spiritual pollution is just a natural phenomenon. Monsters are also special creatures produced under this natural phenomenon. There is no god behind it. If you want to solve this problem, the only feasible route at present is the 'Purification of the Abyss' I proposed. So... let's not talk about this anymore, let's get back to the present..."

In order to prevent Toledo, the unreliable guy, from interrupting him again, he continued to explain his point of view without stopping:

"Based on the current situation, I speculate that the autonomous array, as well as the micro-robots under it and the mechanical soldiers it created, have also shown varying degrees of 'demonization'!"

"If we had come earlier instead of today, we would have been besieged by countless demons..."

After these words were spoken, even a strong man like Professor Latio couldn't help but frown.

If that huge warehouse was filled with layers of demons, the image would be terrifying just to think about it...

Fortunately, the demon of karma is gone.

Fortunately, the Department of Engineering had not thought of exploring the old school district before because space technology was not developed enough. Otherwise, without Lloyd, Professor Latio could not imagine how to deal with demons of this magnitude.

If these things were to run into the human world again...

"Of course, the Karma Demon is a monster created by the combination of a living being and a machine. Judging from the degree of Karma Demonization on the two mechanical soldiers, it should not be as exaggerated as the Karma Demons in the ordinary sense."

"But even so, they are likely to have some degree of 'contamination' and are no longer what is recorded in the literature..."

"Although they haven't shown much hostility towards us yet, no one knows whether these brains will come up with any new ideas, and it's unclear whether we can still control them. If they suddenly come up with an anti-organic equation or something, that would be troublesome..."

Lloyd continued, then raised two fingers.

"I am currently considering two follow-up plans—"

"First, I will use the space storm to completely shatter the entire old school district. No matter what is hidden inside, I will make it sink into the alien space forever."

"Of course, the price of this is that we will lose that powerful autonomous array forever, and at the same time we will lose a large number of mechanical soldiers who are made with the utmost craftsmanship..."

"As for the second plan, we will try to find a way to break the current situation and find a way to regain control of the autonomous array."

Although Lloyd gave two options, no one, including himself, would be willing to choose the simple and crude first one, right?

That is such a waste, and it is tantamount to a crime for today's human civilization.

The second option is not within Lloyd's control. It depends on how hard the engineering department works.

This group of slackers doesn't seem very reliable...

So after proposing the plan, Lloyd stopped talking and planned to listen to what the four professors had to say.

"Anyway, let's give it a try. The autonomous array that is still functioning is too precious to us. If we destroy it like this, the department's founders will surely be buried in grave danger."

Toledo was the first to speak out.

The remaining old professors also nodded one after another.

"Well, we have to give it a try anyway. Give us some time to study it carefully. We will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Okay, as long as you have this attitude, it will be fine.

Lloyd nodded secretly in his heart.

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

And so the expedition came to a halt.

This is not accurate. It should be said that the exploration of the core storage area has been suspended.

Lloyd and the medical team did not go fishing. Instead, they used this time to visit the outer living area and the library area.

The exploration process of these areas is much more thrilling.

Almost as soon as Lloyd and his companions landed, they were greeted by a large group of "seniors" who lined up to welcome them, roaring and snarling.

Fortunately, they were just monsters, and with the help of a battle-hardened medical team, Lloyd could only provide support and help control them. These 'seniors' all died tragically under the axes and swords of these doctors.

Lloyd deliberately did not take the initiative to "steal the monster", and he was even too lazy to stick "Aho-ge" on people's foreheads. He just let them turn on the "eliminate mental pollution" function on the new mobile phones themselves, and the madness value was automatically credited to their accounts.

This is very comfortable, just like hanging up.

The library area was even more "exciting". As soon as you landed, a large number of "book pages" rushed towards you, and your madness value soared rapidly.

It's a pity that Lloyd's [rationality] is too high now, and the space in this library area is too messy, so it can't pose any substantial threat. It will only make Lloyd feel disgusted about why there are so few people coming?

Fortunately, he was familiar with the people in the history department and had learned their way of recovering forbidden knowledge. He then took out a large pile of lead boxes from his storage bag and recovered the parts that had floated over one by one.

This knowledge is quite useful. Among them, there are quite a few records about autonomous arrays, which allows Lloyd to understand more about this heirloom.

However, the space in these areas was too fragmented. The numerous spatial cracks and turbulence gave Lloyd a headache. It was impossible for one person to clear them out, and he didn't have 'Palu' to command.

In short, Lloyd's gains were limited due to the fragmented spatial environment of the living area and library area.

In the end, he managed to reach level 200 and gained 1000 attribute points, which he distributed evenly.

On the contrary, because [Space Control] has been used too much during this period, it has miraculously been upgraded to level 11 and is now at level .

Unfortunately, it did not unlock new space gameplay, but only strengthened and improved the original basis, allowing Lloyd to open portals faster and control space storms more accurately.

But it is still one of the biggest gains of this trip.

Although the current harvest is not much, I have discovered that there are still some.

There was also something that made Lloyd a little worried and a little uneasy -

Those 'predecessors' in the living area, they all have no spine...

Although their forms have been distorted beyond human form, Lloyd has dealt with so many out-of-control people before, so their basic physiological structure still exists.

Even if the heart has been twisted into a flower, even if the spine has turned into a mess, it still exists. If one has sufficient knowledge of anatomy, one can still recognize what it used to be.

But the spines of these 'predecessors' were all completely peeled off with an incredibly precise technique that even Lloyd felt ashamed of himself.

Lloyd was basically certain that the only thing that could make him feel inferior in the dissection project was the autonomous array that was said to have close to zero loss.

The withered flesh and nerve bundles found on the two mechanical soldiers before, as expected, came from this...

It should be that after the disaster, the entire engineering school district was completely out of control, but at that time the space was not as broken as it is today, and then the autonomous array began its precise surgical operation...

So from the timeline, it is probably not that the changes occurred later, but that it became strange at an earlier point in time...

So the question is, could this thing have developed intelligence and self-awareness?

Lloyd was a little skeptical.

But no matter what the professors said, or the historical documents from the academy, or some research reports and experimental records that Lloyd found in the library, all three aspects said that the autonomous array only had the simple intelligence of executing commands, and its intelligence level was not as good as those stupid things made by Toledo.

Even the engineering department in the past conducted many experiments to make it smarter, but all of them ended in failure...

What also confused and puzzled Lloyd was that the engineering department in the past was still trying to figure out the principle and structure of this thing. Had they tried to replicate it?

This is confusing. Isn't this your family heirloom? You don't even know how it was made?

So how did it come about?

Lloyd's newly discovered literature could not answer this question, and the college could not give a clear answer either.

They only knew that the autonomous array was jointly created by several respected old professors at the time, and that shortly after it was completed, several of the old professors passed away one after another.

Even the cause of death was bizarre, and there was no clear explanation.

It was said that the self-regulating array they created was too great, which angered a certain high-ranking being, who secretly killed them.

Some believed that they were not actually dead, but simply chose to sacrifice their souls to the array, becoming a part of the array forever.

There is even a conspiracy theory that they fought internally for honor and control of the array, and ultimately all perished.

Anyway, no matter which version it was, Lloyd didn't quite believe it.

Those professors back then were much more powerful than they are now. How could they die so easily?

There are too many loopholes and it is not rigorous at all.

Even so, the powerful performance of the autonomous array still benefits latecomers a lot and they can't let it go.

Although I don’t understand the principles behind it and don’t understand why the professors died, this thing is so useful that I can’t live without it.

In short, they studied and enjoyed themselves like this until disaster suddenly struck.

However, based on the timeline that Lloyd has reconstructed, the autonomous array may not be as pure as those in the engineering department believe, nor is it truly without intelligence.

He even came up with a sudden speculation -

Could it be that this thing was alive from the beginning?
