I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Black Knight?

Lloyd took the chess piece and played with it. It felt warm and delicately made, as if it was made of some kind of nephrite.

It was still emitting a faint ray of spirituality, the intensity of which was similar to the pair of monocles that Desda gave him. It could only be regarded as a handicraft, and it could not be classified as a psychic object.

Why is this one stored in a bank safe?

Weird, is it hinting at something?

Lloyd had doubts in his heart, put down the Black Knight chess piece, and opened the letter again.

There is only a very simple message above:

"Hello, no matter who you are, if you see this letter, it means that I am dead. If you can, please help me give this check to my wife Anna, and say sorry for me...

As for the piece, if you think it will be useful to you, keep it, if not, do with it as you wish. "

At the end, there is an address and a signature:

Stillote

Lloyd had heard this name from the thinking monster before, and it should be the real name of the executioner.

He picked up the check again, with the amount of 30 general currency already filled in on it.

"Well... although the address he left is also in Nancheng District, it's a bit far away. I'll send it to him tomorrow."

Lloyd had no greed for the money and decided to send the money back without any hesitation.

"This letter should have been left before he went on a mission, right? Isn't it a little too brief?"

As Lloyd spoke, he read the letter carefully again, word by word. He also picked it up and looked at the light, and even used his inspiration to check it, hoping to find some hidden content.

Nothing was found...

I used the most ordinary paper and the most ordinary ink to write these simple last words.

"Is it because he has such a free and easy personality? Or is it because he is confident enough that he doesn't think anything will happen to him?"

"It doesn't seem right? If he was really confident enough, he wouldn't have left this final letter..."

"And even though he was completely controlled by the thinking monster, he still remembered his wife's smile. Even that picture was the clearest among the interpretable pictures, which shows that he really loves his wife..."

"Then this letter shouldn't be so short. It should at least have something to say about wanting to keep my wife."

Lloyd tried to analyze it and picked up the chess piece again.

He also saw this kind of chess piece in Stillot's memory, but it was much larger.

In his last words in the letter, the description of the chess piece was also very strange. What does "if you think it is useful to you" mean?

Lloyd continued to recall what Stillot said to himself with his last rational words——

"If you heard what I said and can get out alive in the end, remember to go to No. 8 Champagne Avenue in Xicheng District and find locker No. 611. This may save your life."

Looking at the context, Lloyd probably guessed some of the other party's thoughts.

First of all, Stillot should have known that he was going to deal with the thinking monster, and he might even have known about it in advance.

When they acted a year ago, they probably adopted the same pattern of action today.

The process of this entire operation is skillful and smooth, with details in place, and the timetable is accurate to the second. The executors responsible for providing spiritual vision have also been trained in advance. It is obvious that it is not the impromptu idea of ​​the presiding judge, but a set An effective way that has been proven and has successful experience.

But such a careful and detailed plan failed in the end...

Lloyd didn't know what the other three colleagues encountered in other cells. He didn't ask, and he probably wouldn't get the answer if he asked.

He could only guess that the person they met might also be the former executioner who failed...

But how were the four previous executioners killed? Could it be that the thinking monster can attack four people at the same time?

Lloyd naturally had no way of knowing, and he didn't even know how to guess. Both the presiding judge and other people involved were very shy about this kind of action. It was difficult to get a full picture from his own perspective. .

He didn't even know the condition of the executor he was partnering with...

I have been attacked by a thinking monster. Will my partner who shares my vision be affected?

"There are obviously many doubts, but you can't ask, inquire, or explore. Isn't it too uncomfortable to meet such an unreasonable monster?"

Lloyd complained and continued to ponder what happened to Steelot.

After his action team was wiped out, he struggled to hold on and maintain the last ray of rationality until a year later, when the second team came in to deal with the aftermath.

Stillot probably still remembers the preparations for such an action, and also knows the characteristics and dangers of thinking monsters, so he particularly emphasizes the premise: 'If you heard what I said.'

And the 'life-saving straw' he left to Lloyd should be the Black Knight.

It's possible that he relied on this thing to last so long.

So he left the strange statement "if it is useful to you" in his last letter——

If the recipient of his inheritance was his colleague, and he was not too stupid, he should have realized the specialness and importance of this chess piece, and this chess piece would definitely be useful;

If the letter is seen by other unrelated people, this single chess piece will have no collection value.

But the next problem is that Lloyd has carefully inspected the chess piece, and even risked using his inspiration and spiritual vision to explore it inside and out, but he still couldn't find anything special about the chess piece?

It's really just an ordinary craft.

"What's wrong? If something happens to me, how can I save my life with this thing?"

Lloyd's train of thought was stuck.

"Forget it, it may be that I am overcomplicating myself. Considering the current social situation where extraordinary people are a little bit crazy, maybe this is all his imagination. He actually relied on his own willpower and strength to persist for so long. of."

"But no matter what, I should still thank him. My understanding of the thinking monsters probably comes from his legacy."

"Even at the end of his life and reason, he was still trying to help me fight for a chance of survival. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, this was a very 'knightly' act."

Lloyd made a final summary, kept the letter, check, and chess pieces close to his body, and prepared to return them to Stillot's wife tomorrow.

As for those doubtful points that I can't figure out clearly, I'll simply put them aside.

Don't think too much, don't ask too many questions, wait until tomorrow when the things are delivered to people, this matter will be over.

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

Early the next morning, Lloyd did not rush to the 18th District. Instead, he took Steelot's belongings to the address he left in his last letter.

Soon, he came to a flower shop.

Through the window, Lloyd saw Mrs. Anna, who had a "fate" in the memory fragments, holding a pair of swaddling clothes, with a gentle smile on her face, and softly humming nursery rhymes.

"Baby, baby, grow up soon, daddy will be home soon..."

Lloyd's heart suddenly tightened, and his legs were immediately filled with lead, making him unable to move forward.

He wanted to turn around and leave. He would rather deal with a hundred thinking monsters and giant cicadas than walk into this flower shop...

Before he could make up his mind, Mrs. Anna in the flower shop noticed him first. She quickly hugged the baby and came over quickly, and took the initiative to greet him:

"Welcome, would you like to..."

As she spoke, she noticed Lloyd's gray uniform, her whole body stiffened slightly, and her expression flickered and changed.

But she was stunned for only a second, smiled again, and greeted warmly:

"I recognize this uniform. You must be Stillot's colleague, right? Come in quickly and I'll prepare coffee for you."

Mrs. Anna brought Lloyd into the flower shop, put the baby in her arms into the crib next to her, and then hurried to the kitchen.

Taking advantage of her absence, Lloyd took a brief look at the flower shop while carefully considering his next words.

Warm, elegant, refined and sentimental, it shows that Mrs. Anna is the kind of person who is very serious and passionate about life.

Judging from her look, temperament, and attitude towards life, she probably doesn't know about her husband yet. The trial court must have adopted strict confidentiality and lied about Stillot going out on a mission or something.

The more such a person is, the more difficult it is to accept such shocking news...

Should I tell the truth? Or should you leave your things and leave?

Even though it was false, he couldn't bear to destroy such beauty...

While Lloyd was hesitating, Mrs. Anna had already returned, holding a cup of hot, fragrant coffee in her hand.

After putting down the coffee, she picked up the swaddle again and chatted with Lloyd:

"Are you here to see my husband? I haven't seen you before. Are you his new colleague?"

"Uh...this..."

Lloyd looked embarrassed and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Mrs. Anna noticed something instantly, suppressed the smile on her face, and asked eagerly:

"You look so embarrassed. Could it be that something happened to my husband?"

"No...he just..."

Lloyd was still struggling. He still couldn't bear to tell the truth and wanted to just fool him.

But Mrs. Anna was very keen, her eyes were already shining with tears, and she choked and said:

"He... obviously promised me yesterday that he would take a day off when the child is one month old..."

"what?"

These words immediately stunned Lloyd.

Mrs. Anna was still wiping her tears while shaking the swaddling clothes in her arms, as if to comfort her baby.

But Lloyd didn't hear the baby crying...

He quickly glanced at the swaddling clothes.

Inside was a doll with a dull expression, and one eyeball was missing, revealing a dark eye socket.

The stiff and dull smile on his face makes people feel creepy...
