I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"Huh? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Metis raised her head slightly, trying to find the answer from Lloyd's eyes.

It turns out that Lloyd's eyes have been focused on his feet...

Her cheeks puffed up slightly, looking a little unhappy, then she gritted her teeth and made a very bold move.

"If you like it so much, just pick it up and read it."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to put her slender and lovely pair of feet into Lloyd's hands.

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but the delicate and smooth touch made him unable to let go.

Metis's pretty face quickly turned an alluring red. She was torn between her conscience and her desire to throw herself into Lloyd's arms and express her feelings...

But after a lot of struggle, the girl's modesty finally prevailed. She quickly pulled her feet back, then wrapped her arms tightly around her legs and buried her flushed face in her knees.

Woo... I am such a useless bad woman. Even though the atmosphere is already like this, I still dare not do anything...

She cursed herself in her heart, feeling so wronged that she was about to cry.

After all, I am still afraid of being rejected, and I dare not imagine what to do after being rejected.

Lloyd was not much better than her. He had obviously learned so many scumbag men's words and tricks, but for a moment he didn't know how to use them and his mind was a little blank.

Maybe I didn't expect Metis to suddenly take the initiative to do this, so I was a little caught off guard...

The two of them remained silent for a while before Lloyd coughed awkwardly twice and tried to change the subject:

"Ahem...let's talk about Weiya, shall we?"

"Um……"

Metis still buried her face in her knees, revealing only a pair of large dark golden eyes. She carefully looked at Lloyd's expression and spoke softly:

"She and I entered District 18 at the same time. At that time, I didn't know that she was a noble lady. I had a very good relationship with her, like a sister."

"This... then what happened next?"

"Later, we met a senior who was as warm and dazzling as the sun, just like you in District 18, whom everyone admired..."

When Metis said this, she secretly glanced at Lloyd's expression again, hoping to catch a glimpse of change from it.

As expected, when Lloyd heard about the senior that everyone admired, his expression instantly became a little awkward.

Metis smiled secretly and continued:

"That senior is a woman."

"Huh~ It's you, senior."

Lloyd couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"She is the type who is as heroic and cheerful as a boy. She is also very gentle and patient with everyone, like a natural leader."

"She also has the same good-natured personality as you. She will never refuse anyone who asks her for help. She will always stand in front of everyone when they are in trouble... I guess Wei Ya fell in love with you because she saw some of her shadow in you."

"What happened later? Where is this senior sister now? Has she become a high-level expert?"

"She's dead..."

"Eh?"

"Not every fool like you who likes to show off can survive unscathed."

Metis sighed helplessly, and her tone was gradually tainted with the kind of sadness that was hard to look back on.

"At that time, District 18 had just been established not long ago, and the staffing was far less than when you joined. We often had to execute some high-risk monsters, even though that was obviously beyond the ability of the executor trainees..."

"At first, everyone gritted their teeth and maybe managed to hold on, but one day, a key to the -5th floor was hung on the notice board."

"Normally, this should be handled by the regular executioner or the judge on duty."

"But in the end, the key was handed to the senior..."

"She didn't complain or object, but her smile became a little forced. Then she waved at us and walked to the elevator alone."

"I wanted to go and help, but Wei Ya held me back while crying. I'm short and have short arms, so I'm not as strong as her. I could only watch my senior walk into the elevator and never come back..."

When Metis said this, she found that Lloyd had sat down next to her unconsciously, and then naturally gave her a warm hug, whispering comfortingly:

"It's not your fault..."

"Yes, I know. If I follow him, I might die down there too."

Metis rested her forehead on Lloyd's shoulder, rubbed it hard, and said unwillingly:

"But I often think, if I had gone, maybe Senior would have come back alive? I am indeed still a cowardly, selfish and bad woman..."

"I think Wei Ya should think so too?"

"So when the same situation appeared in front of her for the second time, she chose to go with you."

"And I, a bad woman, could only hide in a corner, drinking and crying secretly."

"She has the courage to change, but I don't have the courage to continue to insist..."

Lloyd listened to this sad confession and quickly stroked Metis's back to calm her down.

This is the first time I have listened to the true voice of this 'bad woman'.

"Everything will be fine. Everything will pass."

Lloyd wanted to say something like chicken soup to comfort her, but was interrupted by Metis.

"I like you."

"Eh?"

Metis seemed to have suddenly mustered up the courage, curled up in Lloyd's arms, buried her head in his chest, not daring to look up and look at him, but kept saying "harsh words" to herself:

"Even if you never talk to me again, I still want to like you; even if I am scolded as a bad woman who doesn't know how to behave, I still want to like you; even if you don't like me, it doesn't matter, I just like you anyway."

As she spoke, she raised her pretty face again, wanting to take advantage of Lloyd's daze to secretly kiss him.

But he put his mouth close to Lloyd's. At the last moment, he backed down and only dared to touch Lloyd's chin with his forehead.

Then he immediately broke free from Lloyd's arms, closed his eyes tightly, and waited for Lloyd's answer as if he was waiting for a death sentence.

He continued to speak in a stubborn manner:

"Okay, I am such a bad woman, you can reject me now."

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, then made a normal human choice.

He put his arms around her slender waist, which was as charming as a water snake, asked her to open her eyes and look at him, then kissed her gently.

Metis didn't expect Lloyd to be so direct. Her beautiful eyes widened and she was a little flustered for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

It was not until Lloyd finally let her go that he asked a silly question:

"This...what should Weiya do? You and her...are about to get married, right?"

Even though the situation had developed to this point, the first person she thought of was still someone else...

This was her true gentleness and kindness, but she carefully wrapped it up and dared not let anyone notice it.

Human beings have always been very complex but interesting creatures.

That's why Lloyd likes humans so much.

So Lloyd lowered his head and kissed Metis again, then began to explain:

"Don't worry about that. My current situation... is a little special."

As he spoke, he changed the position of Metis in his arms, and while playing with the pair of jade feet he had coveted for a long time, he explained to her his current troubles.

"........."

"Anyway, that's it. Although it sounds irresponsible, selfish, greedy, and unfair to you, I really need to maintain my self-awareness as a human being. I'm also really afraid that one day I'll wake up and find myself no longer human..."

After explaining the situation clearly, Lloyd released Metis and did not force or kidnap her.

Metis was stunned for a moment, and her face showed some confusion and hesitation at first, but soon it turned into a resolute look.

"If carrying the future of humanity is the sacrifice you choose to make, then..."

As she spoke, she took advantage of Lloyd's inattention, pounced on him, and pressed Lloyd down on the sofa.

"I am also willing to make my own sacrifice..."

"Hehe, I'm a bad woman. I will never lose to Wei Ya in this aspect!"

…………Some words are omitted below…………

The next day, after Lloyd got up, he looked at Metis, who was curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly. He could only say that this guy still liked to show off his strength with words as always.

In actual combat, they surrendered in just a few moves...

Lloyd was reluctant to wake her up, so he let her have a good rest. Then he got up, took a shower, prepared breakfast, and then went out to deal with today's business.

When Metis woke up, she saw the empty bed beside her and sat up immediately with an uneasy look on her face. Then she let out another lovely cry:

"ah!"

Only then did she notice that her clothes were a little disheveled, and she quickly shrank back into the blanket, grasping the edge with both hands, leaving only her eyes exposed, and looked around cautiously.

Only after confirming that this was still Lloyd's dormitory and no one else was there did he get up and try to get dressed.

Then I found that the dress I bought yesterday had been torn into several pieces...

"Wow... this guy is really... why is he so skilled?"

She had no choice but to open Lloyd's closet and find a white shirt to wear as pajamas to cover her petite body, and then returned to the living room where she was last night.

She still hadn't found Lloyd, which made her heart skip a beat. A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged from her heart.

But in the blink of an eye, he saw the breakfast Lloyd left for him on the table, and he couldn't help laughing and felt relieved.

however……

“Why are there five glasses of milk?”

Metis looked at this strange breakfast, suddenly thought of something, and glanced down.

His sight fell on his toes without any obstruction...

"Wow...I obviously...humph!"

She picked up the milk angrily and poured it into her mouth, as if she was mad at someone.

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

"You guys...are you really here to apply for the Distortion Department?"

Lloyd sat in his official office, located at the top of the tall tower of the Distortion Department.

He had asked people from the Civil Engineering Department to renovate this place. It was no longer an empty rooftop, but a set of luxurious offices with a special secretary lounge and a roof garden outside the door.

Standing in this exquisite, warm, elegant and pleasant garden and looking around, what you see is not the tall towers of other school districts, but the eternally silent wasteland with the spires standing on it like giants wandering around.

The contrast between far and near is so obvious, so obvious that it makes people feel creepy. There is a weird and evil atmosphere in the air.

It even made the three students who came to take the test start to tremble uncontrollably, regretting this rash decision in their hearts.

Lloyd checked the student file in his hand again, then looked up at the three young girls in front of him who were dressed up and shivering.

"Go back. The Distortion Department is not a place for you to play paranormal adventures. Don't do this again in the future."

As he said that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, sending away the three girls who obviously had ulterior motives.

"Alas... after much difficulty, we received a few applications, but they either fell far short of the admission standards or had bad intentions."

Lloyd sighed helplessly, looked out the window again, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted:

"Xiao Mi? Remember to trim the bushes over here. After comparing them, I think the first design is better."

"Meow meow meow???"

The little kitten who was busy watering the flowers in the garden suddenly turned around and looked like he wanted to fight with Lloyd, wishing he could hit him on the head with the kettle floating next to him.

That bush was already the eighth version it had cut out...

Lloyd shouted and continued to pick through the remaining student resumes in his hand, trying to pick out a tall man.

There is really no other way, either they are from the art department or their foundation is so poor that it is unbearable to look at.

"Alas... I have tried to lower the entry standards as much as possible. It would be really bad if it were any lower. Even basic self-protection is impossible. But still not many people sign up?"

"On the contrary, the space department next door has so many resumes that I can't even read them all..."

"Are we, the [Distorted] department, so unattractive?"

He had no choice but to twist the waste paper into a few bright roses, and then raised his voice and shouted:

"Xiao Mi! Forget about that bush and plant these roses. Then you don't have to buy flowers for your dates with girls."

"Meow meow……"

The little kitten whimpered pitifully, and its short limbs glided in the air. It floated back to Lloyd's office as if swimming. It used its spiritual power to pick up the bouquets of roses and prepared to plant them.
