I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 110 109. The shadow under the brilliance

[Ding~Insanity value +50]

Lloyd took the subway and came to a church in the new city.

This is a fairly large medium-sized area with more than a dozen priests and inquisitors on duty, responsible for the security of a large area.

Lloyd randomly found a passing priest, got close to him, then took out the gaudy map and asked the other person for specific information.

"Huh? This place..."

The priest looked at the map for a while, frowned, and seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Is it special?"

Lloyd asked quickly.

The priest patiently explained to him:

"It's quite special. You also know that the west side of the city is very new, right? But this place has a lot of history. It can be said to be the oldest area in the entire Brilliant City. It dates back to the great development era. This is At that time, many workers lived in shantytowns..."

After that, the Brilliant City developed rapidly, but left this place behind. Even though brand new streets and buildings were built around it, this place is still much the same as before. It has become an urban island, lacking effective management and improvement.

Today, it has probably become a largely isolated zone with no regard for the outside world. The situation inside is very complicated. Even the little animals in the Holy Court of Grace are unwilling to enter. Why do you want to go there? "

"There is actually a place like this in the city?"

Lloyd was a little surprised by this.

Although when I was a child, I wandered around with Everol and mingled in various civilian areas in the south of the city, but the areas there were just poor and run-down, not very chaotic, and not out of control.

"Otherwise? Do you think this is some kind of beautiful paradise? In fact, there are many places like this area, but this one is the oldest, largest, and most chaotic."

The priest continued.

But Lloyd really wanted to find the book, and of course he wouldn't give up. He nodded and said:

"Well, I understand, thank you."

"Do you still want to go in? Forget it...it's up to you, but I suggest you don't just go in. Go to the toy store across the street to buy a mask first, and then you'd better spend a little money and find a mask. Guide, otherwise you may get lost in there.”

"I understand, thank you for your advice."

Lloyd nodded vigorously and left the church. He followed the advice and walked into the toy store and bought a baby-faced mask. It looked dull, hollow and numb, without any cuteness at all. It looked rough. of dolls.

Then he bought a box of matches, lit one, and continued to narrow down the search scope.

The match flickered twice in the wind, then went out normally, without giving any instructions or leaving any warning.

Lloyd was feeling strange, thinking that the divination had failed, when he suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from the matchbox.

He quickly opened it, and a few matches jumped out from inside. They formed a stick figure in his palm, bouncing around, and then lit them together again. They burned to ashes in an instant, almost scalding his hand.

"Emmmm, is this omen really related to dancing? Do I need to find a very hot place?"

"Although it suddenly ignited, it did not burn my hand. It means that I will encounter a little trouble during this trip, but it is not a big problem. The overall result is still optimistic."

After reading it, Lloyd nodded with satisfaction.

Then he jumped on a tram, rode for about ten minutes, got off at the nearest stop, and walked for more than half an hour until he came to a spacious river ditch.

Across the river, there are large tracts of shacks, dark and densely packed. I don't know how many people live there, but only a few figures can be seen walking around and showing their heads, which seems to have no vitality and vitality.

But just across the river, there is a brand new street, and there is a large busy construction site behind it. A tall building should be rising soon, and further away, you can still see The new urban area of ​​Nama symbolizes the bustling city skyline.

Lloyd felt like he was at the intersection of two worlds.

There is no bridge on the river, and you can only see all kinds of domestic garbage flowing down the river, as well as large areas of white foam that exudes a fishy smell.

However, there were a few narrow boats on the shore, with boatmen squatting on them, wearing dirty clothes, looking at Lloyd with playful eyes.

Lloyd straightened the mask on his face, quickly approached, and then pointed to the other side.

"Fifty."

The boatman casually quoted a price.

Lloyd nodded and jumped on the boat.

The boat then began to row towards the other shore.

But as soon as he reached the middle of the river, the boatman suddenly stopped rowing, put down the oar, took out a gleaming dagger, played with it in his hand, and then said with a sneer:

"I regret it. Either add another hundred, or...swim over by yourself."

Lloyd shook his head and stood up, intending to reason with the other party and tell him that it was wrong to raise prices on the ground.

So he quickly pulled out the short sword from his waist and struck it directly on the dagger in the boatman's hand.

Qiang~

The dagger snapped into two pieces.

The boatman couldn't help but be stunned. Perhaps he didn't expect any passengers to dare to attack him?

Without giving him a chance to react, Lloyd grabbed his throat, twisted him up, and threw him into the water.

Then he picked up the oar and hit the boatman who was struggling in the water several times on the head.

Dong~Dong~Dong~

Very loud, a good head.

The boatman floated on the water and stopped moving, and Lloyd paddled the boat himself and slowly rowed to the other side.

His experience of wandering around when he was a child gave him plenty of experience in dealing with such situations.

Not long after, the boat landed smoothly, and Lloyd jumped off and walked into the dilapidated shantytown.

A pungent stench suddenly hit him, mixed with a little bit of blood.

This place was indeed like what the priest said, like a huge maze, with dilapidated shanties piled up to form the walls of the maze, enclosing several small paths that led to unknown places, and sewage and various garbage piled on the paths.

Then Lloyd took a few steps and really "met the enemy" as if he was adventuring in a maze.

A group of dirty, ragged children came out from nowhere and surrounded him from all directions. Some wanted to hug his legs, while others reached their dirty hands into his pockets.

Lloyd sneered and kicked the fastest one into the puddle next to him without any hesitation. Then he grabbed a hand that wanted to touch his pocket and threw it into the garbage dump next to him.

The remaining children saw that he was so cruel, but they were not stupid. They quickly scattered.

"Hehe~ These are all the leftovers from my childhood."

Lloyd sneered. He didn't expect that his unbearable childhood experience would come in handy one day.

He randomly chose a slightly cleaner and wider path and continued to walk deeper.

In the end, he couldn't take a few steps. Several fierce and fierce men with sticks, chains, machetes, etc. in their hands suddenly appeared from nowhere and wanted to block his way.

Lloyd was too lazy to talk, and too lazy to fight with these people head-on. He took out the matchbox, pulled out a few matches, and then activated the [Super Sword Skill] skill.

He had tried it on the way here. Although the matches could be burned, they were judged as cold weapons such as "toothpicks" or "needles", which could be used to activate [Super Sword Skill].

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

The matches shot out like bullets, leaving several sword cuts on the bodies of several "green forest heroes", forcing them to scream.

"Uh... my ears! He has a gun! He has a gun!"

"Cough... Uh... Cough..."

"It's a prickly thing, retreat quickly!"

The heroes supported each other and disappeared in the maze of shanties in the blink of an eye.

Lloyd's journey was much smoother, and he did not encounter any more enemies.

Although the priest described this place as very dangerous, Lloyd felt like "returning home in glory" and "recalling childhood".

But the guide was still needed. He wandered around for a long time, but couldn't find a place that met the definition of "dance" and "passion".

Lloyd took a few more steps, and the door of a shed next to him was suddenly pushed open, and a dirty middle-aged woman came out from inside.

She gave Lloyd a teasing smile, then generously lifted her shirt to show her sincerity, and then asked:

"Master from outside, do you want to come and play? 200 will do."

Lloyd directly took out five universal coins with a face value of 100, waved them in front of her, and replied:

"Take me to a place where there are many people dancing. It must be hot and passionate enough."

"Hehe, interesting... I just know a place like this."

The middle-aged woman smiled evilly, first motioned Lloyd to follow her into the house, and then lifted a mat on the floor, revealing a dark cave entrance.

"Come on~"

She picked up an oil lamp and jumped in.

Lloyd got a little inspiration, opened the panel again, got ready, and jumped in.

After crouching and crawling through a short section of the cave, Lloyd's vision suddenly became clear, and he came to an underground facility that looked like a large sewer.

There was plenty of light here, and lights were on everywhere. The view was also quite wide, and one could see the criss-crossing sewer networks. The road surface was also quite flat, without any water accumulation, and it was not difficult to walk. Even the air was much better than above.

Compared to the large shantytown above, this place below looked more like a city.

But he looked carefully again and saw some half-dug holes, half-laid pipes, and many unfinished traces.

It seemed that an attempt was made to build a huge sewer network here, but for some reason, the project was interrupted? And the ground part was also abandoned?

Lloyd speculated secretly.
