I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"Huh? What's going on? Why did it suddenly get stuck?"

When Lloyd saw the motionless 'Weiya' in front of him, he quickly reached out and knocked on her forehead.

Immediately afterwards, his vision began to blur and change for a while, and he began to gradually return to reality, gradually moving away from the town of Arkham, which he created uniquely.

"Ahhh! No! My Arkham! My giant robot! My super aircraft carrier!"

Lloyd let out a cry of despair and watched helplessly as his brainchild, 'New Arkham Town', got further and further away from him, eventually turning into a bunch of empty bubbles——

It was an artificial planet floating in outer space, equipped with various advanced science fiction weapons, and surrounded by densely packed interstellar battleships for escort.

A few seconds later, Lloyd returned to his original room dejectedly, his face full of discomfort and unwillingness, and his heart was even more empty, as if the warehouse in a krypton gold mobile game had been emptied.

Others were able to escape from [the story] because they were afraid, but he was unwilling to do so——

Arkham Town, which I had worked so hard to manage for so long, finally failed to meet that 'mysterious existence' and compete with Him.

It's like a lonely young man who practiced dragon slaying in the deep mountains and forests, but didn't even find a girlfriend, but ended up dying of old age before the dragon appeared.

Lloyd sat lonely in the room for a while, and then heard the comments of three big guys:

"Haven't you had enough? Do you know what time it is?"

First the housekeeper's voice came over, and then it was replaced by a female voice, who said with a charming smile:

"Hehe, little cutie, was that the future world you imagined just now? It's really interesting. If you feel it's not fun enough, you can come and play in sister's [story] later? Sister will teach you a lot of interesting things. of……"

Finally, here is the comment from the last boss:

"Why hasn't a successor model been developed for the last giant Tin Man? Don't give up! I feel that is the future path for us humans! It's much more handsome than those flying ships you imagined!"

Uh... I was having so much fun that I forgot there was anyone watching next to me...

Fortunately, we didn't create anything weirder...

Lloyd sighed in his heart, stood up again, moved his limbs, and then turned to look out the window, only to realize that it was already dark outside?

I quickly took out my pocket watch and found that I had been in [Story] for 8 hours, which was already the limit of time.

If he stayed any longer, it would probably cause irreversible damage to his mental state, so he was forcibly pulled out by the housekeeper.

But I think I’m in good shape? I didn't feel dizzy, nor did I suffer any mental trauma, but my body was a little sore, and in order to avoid the plot, I used up a little spiritual energy... Oh, by the way, I'm so hungry.

Lloyd rubbed his belly and then went downstairs to find something to eat.

When he came to the corridor, he turned on his spiritual vision again and secretly took a look at the status of the other two opponents.

Good guy, his face is pale, his head is sweating, there is still some blood on the corners of his mouth and the tip of his nose, he is lying unconscious on the bed, and there are bulging veins on his forehead, as if he is enduring some kind of The severe pain is a bit like a symptom of exhaustion of spiritual energy.

Uh... Is [Story] that dangerous?

Why do I think it's so fun?

Maybe it’s because I am such a hard-working young man who strives to make progress.

Lloyd cursed a few more times, instead of being a good person and caring about other people's conditions, so he went downstairs to find food.

Dinner was quite simple, but there was wine and meat. Lloyd never drank, he just filled his stomach and brought a box of fruit candies for snacks.

The packaging of this fruit candy is quite exquisite, with colorful animal-shaped candies printed on it. I feel that it will be more popular with girls, so I plan to give it to Elolo as a small gift tonight.

It’s just such a cheap thing. I wonder if Elolo will dislike it?

Lloyd returned to the room and began today's physical exercise while browsing the knowledge growing in his mind.

After leaving the butler's [Story], the analysis progress of the 'Unknown Fragment' surged again, reaching 57.5%, which made him grow a lot of [Realization] knowledge in his mind.

But I also suffered more than a thousand points of mental pollution...

Although Lloyd has not formally studied the knowledge of the [Embodiment] system, he can judge from his personal sense and past experience that this knowledge is related to [Projection], mainly about controlling and strengthening [Projection]. Techniques should be relatively basic, so there seems to be no problem?

Why is there mental pollution?

Lloyd really wanted to ask the butler, but he was a little afraid. If there was any problem with this knowledge, he might not be able to explain it easily.

Let's talk later when I get more exposure to the knowledge of [Extended Reality]. I don't know what to say now...

Lloyd decided to put this little detail aside for now, and after the first phase of exercise was over, he went into his [Thinking Realm] to take a look.

As soon as I entered, I felt that the giant flower bud was full of vitality and vitality. I stretched out my hand and touched it, and sure enough, a large amount of mental pollution hit my face.

[Ding~Insanity value +1000]

[Ding~Insanity value +1000]

After adding 5000 points in one go, Lloyd was closer to the next upgrade. He could upgrade after spending some time with Elolo at night.

Of course, there are still some messy useless fragments mixed in, which are automatically swept into the 'recycle bin'.

As the mental pollution was absorbed by him, a gentle force emerged from the bud, turning into a delicate catkin and gently touching Lloyd's cheek.

Although he couldn't see or hear, Lloyd could clearly feel that the other person was feeling sorry for him.

So he smiled and responded:

"It's okay, I can hold on, it's not hard at all."

He felt that the delicate hand suddenly stiffened, and then pressed tightly against his cheek until it disappeared.

The flower buds also became quiet and became lifeless again.

So this [Conscious Body] was indeed used by the Saint to let me share my mental pollution.

This is very good. It not only helps the saint, but also helps myself. Win after win!

It's just a pity that these messy fragments are there. It would be great if I could use them or piece together some skills...

While Lloyd was thinking in his mind, he finally reached out and touched the smooth and tender texture of a girl's skin on the surface of the flower bud.

Speaking of which, Lord Saint seems to be getting closer to me?

Shouldn't she be treating me...

Uh... No, no, she is a high-ranking saint, but I am a 'lawless element' with a taboo system. It's better not to think too much or ask too many questions.

Lloyd shook his head vigorously, left the [Thinking Realm], and continued to exercise to get rid of the random thoughts in his mind.

I continued to exercise like this until it was almost time to go to bed, then I washed up, lay down on the bed, and ran to 'night attack' Elolo.

Of course, I didn’t forget to bring the box of fruit candies as a small gift.

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

"Then, my final time is 21 hours and 08 minutes, and the entire process is under your supervision. No objection, right?"

At this time, on the third floor, the housekeeper asked with a victor's smile on his face.

Boss Olga waved his hand in displeasure.

"Hmph~ What else is there to settle?"

Of course he had already lost. The time was almost 10 hours shorter than that of the butler. He was completely defeated.

Boss Inisa also didn’t think he could win, so he continued:

"My story can't stop my little cutie either. Alas...if it weren't for the [contract] restrictions, I would have just given up."

Although the suspense of victory or defeat has been lost, this 'gamble' is originally part of the [Transcendence] ceremony, and the three of them still have to patiently complete the process tomorrow.

"Sigh... It doesn't matter if I lose. This is not the only [story] I have. It's just that losing is too ugly, and the younger generation in the family behaves very shamefully. After I go back, I will inevitably be laughed at by those long-tongued monsters..."

Boss Olga said with a headache again, and suddenly looked at Boss Inisa, as if he wanted to quarrel again.

The housekeeper quickly stopped him and said:

"Okay, okay, didn't we all agree? When the process ends tomorrow, you will each have a chance to contact Lloyd alone. I will not interfere. It depends on whether you can convince him. Before that, we all Never mention this issue again.”

"Humph~"

Boss Olga snorted coldly, and then mentally calculated how many chips he could still bring out.

Boss Inisa seemed calmer than him, and said with great interest:

"Okay, let's put my little cutie down for now. Although he is indeed very dazzling... Let's look at the performance of the other two young people. They can't be said to be bad, right? Especially the little guy I brought."

The three of them briefly reviewed the performance of the other two 'readers'.

The stories of the three people all start the same. Under the influence of the 'narration', they start with a warm and ordinary daily life, and then gradually get involved in abnormal events in the town, and then are forced to leave the town and encounter the powerful mysterious existence.

After that, there is a battle of wits and courage with the mysterious existence. In the process, the protagonist will lose his lover, relatives, and friends step by step, until he unfortunately dies after a hard struggle...

The "main plot" of The Butler is like this. The rhythm is relatively tight and the mood is relatively depressing. After a soothing rhythm at the beginning, which makes people relax their vigilance, there will be a series of events immediately, making the "reader" overwhelmed and exhausted.

In this state, coupled with the 'narration' that always lingers in the ears, the reader is deeply involved and unable to extricate himself.

If you can't escape [Story] in time before then, you will really die inside...
