I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

[Ding~Insanity value +1000]

[Ding~Insanity value +1000]

[Ding~Skill Fragments +1]

[Ding~Knowledge Fragments +1]

A series of reminders came to Lloyd's ears, and a large wave of mental pollution rushed towards him. The insanity value began to rise rapidly. It was not until it reached 7000 points of insanity that the notifications stopped.

It's almost time to upgrade again...

It seems that the ‘double experience’ activity has been made permanent?

And as the mental pollution temporarily subsided, the reaction in the bud also calmed down, and it no longer looked like a living thing.

But it still feels warm and smooth to the touch, like a girl's delicate skin.

Lloyd couldn't help but touch a few more, and he got inspired by the way. He wanted to see what was hidden inside these buds?

As a result, the inspiration was blocked by a soft force, making it impossible to enter. Even if I turned on my spiritual vision, I couldn't see anything. There was only a white mist in front of me, which was very mysterious.

Lloyd then retracted his hand angrily and sat cross-legged on the spot, wondering what on earth was going on?

He speculated that this should be the rejection of the Saint who guided him to create a [Consciousness Projection Body] using the previous wood-colored wax marks and the Saint's image as materials.

You should be able to control it, and you should be able to bring it to a realistic level.

But maybe because of the influence of the saint's statue, this [projection] has established some mysterious connection with the veto saint that I can't understand for the time being.

The previous vitality and movement within, as well as the subsequent mental pollution, can prove the existence of this connection.

And judging from the intensity of mental pollution, this should be regarded as some kind of 'intimate contact', at least more intimate than [Meeting the Saint].

I have also obtained some knowledge fragments and skill fragments before, but they are meaningless and invalid fragments, which have been automatically classified by the panel and sent to the 'recycle bin' area in my mind.

This situation is very similar to that of Elolo.

So in summary, what I just did by touching the bud was equivalent to a 'night attack' on Eloro?

Seeing that she was helping Elolo share the burden, the Veto Saint couldn't sit still and said that she also wanted to join this... party?

And then you took this approach?

Of course, Lloyd said there was no problem. His character is a rational young man with a tough mind, and he can fully withstand such mental pollution!

Better have more!

The only regret is that all the fragments obtained are useless...

When I helped Wei Ya and Buster share the mental pollution, I learned the skills directly from them. But in the end, it was these two saints who could only learn this?

Is this the difference between a saint and an ordinary extraordinary person?

After thinking about it, Lloyd temporarily left the [Thinking Realm], then recalled the [Embodiment] knowledge in his mind, and while thinking about the huge flower bud, he began to mobilize his spiritual power and inspiration.

He wanted to try to control it and see if he could project it into the real world first.

It actually failed?

The feedback from inspiration is: 'The conscious body is not fully ready and cannot be projected'.

No one was surprised by this result. After all, his current understanding of [Embodiment] is still limited to the basics and superficial knowledge. He has not even completed [Enlightenment]. It is impossible to control such a complex matter, even involving a person. [Projection] of the Saint

But judging from the feedback from the inspiration, he can still control it in the future, but he still needs some heat?

So when will it be ready?

What's inside?

Could it be a beautiful and lovely girl?

Lloyd couldn't help but start a long series of associations, and finally shook his head with a smile, and went over the knowledge of the [Embodiment] system in his mind.

[Projection], as the main route and approach of the [Embodiment] system, is actually a very profound knowledge, and it also shows the characteristics of being easy to learn and difficult to master.

At the beginning, it is often possible to project only some simple drawing patterns, or simple and easy-to-understand things, and it is just a shadow with no entity, so it is just a picture.

In order to make it truly practical and reliable, and to exert corresponding functionality, it requires a long time and a lot of learning, research, and practice, and it becomes more and more difficult the further you go.

Theoretically speaking, for the [Embodiment] who takes the [Projection] route, there is no limit to the number of [Projections]. As long as they can build a [Conscious Body] and have enough spiritual power and inspiration to control it, then In theory, it is possible to realize the spectacular scene of 'one man becomes an army'.

But even the orthodox [Embodiment] strong ones will only choose 1-2 [Consciousness Bodies], and then polish, optimize, and maintain them with all their heart, just like the magic weapon in Xianxia novels. Similar.

The shoddy 'Paper Man' projection was obviously no match for such a powerful projection, and no amount of it was enough to defeat it.

However, these latter contents are still too far for the current Lloyd.

He is very aware of his current situation. He has not even entered the door. This huge bud was only completed with a little help from the saint.

keep it up!

At this moment, Lloyd suddenly heard a painful roar in the corridor outside, and quickly opened the door and took a look.

With the help of his spiritual vision, he saw the current situation of his two competitors.

The scholar was lying on the bed, his face was pale, he was sweating profusely, and he seemed to have fallen into a coma.

The investigator was kneeling on the ground, holding his head in his hands, holding back some severe pain, and was sweating profusely.

But they should have all escaped from that [story], they just looked a little embarrassed.

Lloyd took out his pocket watch again and looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening...

Is it so difficult to crack [the story]?

I've already created my own [projection] here, but you guys just came out?

But it’s not your fault. After all, it’s Level 4 vs. Level 7. Only those who work hard enough and are truly talented can escape easily.

Lloyd cursed, pursed his lips again, and shook his head.

He didn't bother anyone, he just felt hungry and went to the first floor to find something to eat.

Sandwiches, barbecues, vegetable salads and other ordinary foods have been delivered by the butler below. The portions are large and nutritionally balanced.

It's a pity that his cooking skills are not good and he lacks creativity. It is far less creative than Lloyd's craftsmanship, which made him shake his head repeatedly.

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

At this time, on the third floor, the three big guys present had no intention of eating, but were confirming the results of the first day.

"So... add up the time it took the three readers to crack [the story]. Lloyd took 20 seconds, Sam took 5 hours, and Odes took 6 hours and 38 minutes. So Olga, your final time is 11 hours and 38 minutes. Zero 20 seconds, no objection?"

The butler asked, looking at the pocket watch in his hand.

"No...no, yes! Can you please remove those 20 seconds? Even for the sake of hush money?"

Boss Olga replied dejectedly.

This 'bet' is based on whoever has the longest time will be the final winner, and with Boss Olga's time, there is obviously no chance...

But he can't be said to be particularly frustrated, because through a series of painful bargaining, he and another boss finally opened the housekeeper's mouth and made him accept a valuable hush fee, which he would not disclose. News about 'Secret Weapon' Lloyd.

Then, as long as Lloyd can be persuaded to help him win the next game, he can still complete the eighth [Transcendence].

But the opportunity is likely to only come once, and if you have to compete with the boss Inisa, it will definitely be a hemorrhage again.

The three of them had agreed on the follow-up matters earlier, and then they had the time to pay attention to the situation of the other two 'readers'.

As a result, I happened to see the scene where Boss Olga was "trapped in a cocoon".

The assistant he found was an experienced investigator from the Law Department named Odes.

The 'plot' that Olga laid out for her was prepared with various explicit instructions at the beginning and arranged many things that investigators are familiar with. I believe that as long as the other party can regain their self-awareness, they will immediately realize that this is Olga. s story】

Then he can adjust the rhythm with ease, easily cope with the unfolding of the 'plot', and control the time and rhythm to help Olga obtain the maximum benefit.

But precisely because there were so many more familiar people and things, the investigator was deeply involved in it. He only regained his self-awareness very late, and did not take advantage of the [Laws and Orders] system to facilitate the retrieval of self-awareness. , and ended up being the last one to escape from the [story].

Although this bet was originally slower than anyone else, the investigator helped delay Olga enough time, but it also made him very exhausted and embarrassed, which seriously affected his state. When he enters other people's stories tomorrow, , I’m afraid it will be ugly.

Therefore, it is still a risky operation to arrange links in the 'plot' that can reveal the identity of the 'author'.

"Alas... He is the child of a cousin of mine. He was originally a gifted genius. His family had high hopes for him, and he was even more pampered. He was even specially arranged to choose the [Law and Order] system. I hope he can choose the [Law Order] system with me in the future. Become the backbone of the family...

I didn't expect that he would end up in such a miserable state... Sigh, I can only hope that he won't be devastated by this. "

After feeling deeply, Boss Olga could only swallow the bitter pill helplessly.

At the same time, it was inevitable that I felt a little unhappy with this nephew who I originally valued and liked very much.

You look at other people's children, and then look at you?

Why don't I have a nephew like Lloyd?

Eh? No...maybe?

Doesn’t my useless cousin have a 9-year-old daughter? Although it's not very cute, but she is not married yet, can she do something about it?

Boss Olga's thinking became more and more biased, and he had already embarked on the path of illegality and crime.
