I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 113 112. See the light of day again

Well……

Lloyd froze in place for two or three seconds, trying to digest the amount of information.

An unknown thing, whether it was a human or a monster, wanted to sneak up on me from behind, but inexplicably committed suicide in front of me, and then I actually gained insanity points, memory fragments, etc.?

And 500 points of insanity means that it is qualified to stay in the luxurious cell on the -5th floor.

Then why did he commit suicide inexplicably even though he could speak?

Forget it, let's get the book we want first and get out of this hellish place. Anyway, we got a lot of memory fragments, and we should be able to figure out a cause and effect.

Lloyd shook his head, temporarily putting aside the panel prompts and the extra memory fragments in his mind, and looked down at the coveted ancient book.

He still didn't rush to get started, but first activated the third ability of [Distortion Realm] to distort other people's extraordinary abilities.

The target is a set of rituals that are obscured under the glass box containing the ancient book.

The strangeness in the air that led him all the way here came from below.

After using his inspiration to confirm that there was no strange feeling in the air, Lloyd couldn't wait to open the glass cover, then stared closely at the panel in front of him, and reached out to touch the cover of the ancient book.

It felt cold and hard, like some kind of metal product, but it looked like a book made of leather.

Just when I felt strange, a panel prompt came to my ears:

[Ding~Insanity value+? ? ? ? 】

【Please keep your consciousness clear】

The second reminder was the first time Lloyd heard it.

The next second, he felt that his whole brain was heating up, as if his brain was boiling. A thick fishy smell poured into his nose, and he could hardly feel the presence of hearing.

His eyes immediately went dark, and even his vision was deprived. He could only see the madness value displayed on the panel beating rapidly.

Level one, level two, level three...

Lloyd felt as if he had been cooked, and his consciousness was on the verge of coma.

He bit the tip of his tongue without hesitation, and the stinging and rusty taste immediately filled his entire mouth. Then he picked up a matchstick that had been hidden in his hand and pierced the skin hard, using the pain to keep himself awake. .

Fortunately, this 'passionate' experience did not last long. After three seconds, his brain and eardrums began to feel a familiar tingling sensation. Although the pain was as if someone had pierced it with a steel needle, he felt... He breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the stimulation of pain, his consciousness became clearer and gradually stabilized.

After another five seconds, the pain gradually disappeared, his vision gradually recovered, and familiar murmurs came from his ears.

"Falling... into the abyss..."

"Touch...reality..."

"Embrace...mania..."

"Enjoy...Disorder..."

"Facing...chaos..."

"This is...a person who has become a saint..."

"This is...the immortal man..."

"This is...the person who dominates..."

"This is...the person who dominates..."

"This is..."

"He who ascends to the gods!"

Along with bursts of gibbering, a sea of ​​blood appeared in front of Lloyd's eyes.

He seemed to be in it, but also seemed to be riding on it. It should have been an endless sea of ​​​​blood, but it was like a cup of calm black tea.

He was hanging his head and his limbs were drooping.

The limbs seemed to be frozen and unable to move; the consciousness seemed to be frozen and unable to function.

I could only watch as the bloody ocean began to surge, begin to churn, and begin to inflate bubbles.

It's like the black tea has been boiled.

Among the layers of waves, I saw twisted white tentacles, twisting, jumping, cheering, and praising.

Their voices were heartbreaking, but what reached my ears was just the series of low murmurs in front of me, making me feel sleepy but irritated.

So Lloyd chose to slowly close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the purifying pool. In front of him was still the display of bones, and the ancient leather books displayed in the middle were burning and turning into ashes little by little.

Lloyd didn't feel sad for the burning of the ancient book for a moment. It just changed its way of existence and remained in the depths of his memory.

Its name is "The Book of Truth"

This is followed by a small note:

"Volume One"

"Huh...I finally got it, so why do I want this book so much? It's not the new wife in the card pool..."

Lloyd pondered, then shook his head, and the corners of his mouth under the mask smiled slightly.

The reason is no longer important, the important thing is that you have got it.

So let’s leave here first and then take stock of the harvest.

But before leaving, Lloyd took one last look at the bone display stand.

There is a stone support in the middle, where the glass cover was previously placed. There is a complex scorch mark on it.

It had been destroyed by the [Distorted Realm], so there was no need to strike a match, and the scorch marks began to squirm and change.

Lloyd didn't miss the last bit of mosquito leg, so he reached out and touched it.

[Ding~Insanity value +1500, skill fragments +3]

[Ding~ enough skill fragments have been obtained, skills have been upgraded and strengthened, ritual control LV1 → ritual control (twisted) LV2]

This was the last tip Lloyd received. There were still a lot of things ahead. He didn't have time to read them for now. He would get out first.

He walked straight to another grid channel, which was the direction where the guy suddenly came out.

At the end of the channel, there was a heavy hydraulic door, half-closed, and a sticky smell of blood wafted out from the crack of the door.

When he walked in, it looked like a control room. There were more than a dozen bodies lying on the ground, each with a spiral-shaped horrible wound, and the blood flowing out almost dyed the entire floor red.

Lloyd took a rough look and found that these bodies all had a familiar pattern tattooed on the back of their heads, necks, or backs of their hands.

The pattern of the 'Free Style' Association.

In other words, a gang-on-gang fight broke out here?

Lloyd roughly guessed it, but didn't delve too deeply into it. He would know after reading the memory fragments.

Since there is a control room and someone can enter it, there must be a normal passage out.

Lloyd soon found another door here, pushed it open, and a narrow escalator appeared in front of him.

After climbing up the escalator for a while, he pushed open a manhole cover and found himself back near the super giant reservoir?

The structure here is really magical...

"Meow!"

A babyish cry came from the side, and the little kitten slipped out of the darkness and crawled back to Lloyd.

"Are you okay?"

Lloyd rubbed it hard twice, and then asked:

"Remember how we got here?"

"Meow~Meow meow meow!"

The little kitten waved its little paws and struggled hard in his hands, as if expressing something.

Of course, Lloyd didn't understand, so he had to put it back on the ground and followed the little kitten all the way.

When passing by the entrance of the super giant reservoir, he glanced inside again.

The unpleasant music stopped, the twisting crowd became quiet, and even the colorful neon lights went out, leaving only a dark patch, like the open mouth of a giant beast.

Lloyd shook his head, and didn't have time to care about this at the moment, and continued to follow the little kitten.

He followed the little kitten all the way, drilling pipes and climbing gangways, and after tossing himself into dust, he actually came to a sewer with a normal style?

Next to it was the rushing domestic sewage, which was emitting a pungent stench.

Not far ahead was another escalator, and Lloyd quickly climbed up, then pushed open the manhole cover above his head, and finally saw the sun again.

Not far from him was the newest, tallest and most impressive building in the entire Brilliant City, a securities center with more than 40 floors.

I don't know how the little kitten led the way, but he actually got out?

Cat De Navigation?

It was afternoon, and pedestrians were constantly passing by on the road, all looking at Lloyd, who was covered in dust, with doubtful eyes.

A young man in a suit and tie came up to him, kindly handed him a tissue, and asked:

"Do you look like you need help?"

Lloyd did not reach out to take it, but just straightened the baby-faced mask on his face, and then pointed to the hole under his feet.

"It's better to call the police, or a priest or something to come and take a look."

"Uh... is there something wrong down there?"

"The sewer is blocked."

Lloyd made up an excuse, took the kitten and jumped onto a tram that just happened to pass by, and drove away.

……………………

After a lot of twists and turns, Lloyd returned to his home, hurried into the bathroom, and took the kitten to take a bath together.

Then he collapsed on the sofa, and the kitten lay on the windowsill, and the adventure of one person and one cat ended successfully.

There are a lot of things in my mind, what should I watch first?

Lloyd hesitated for a while, and decided to take it step by step, and add some points first.

[Rationality] 15 points, [Spiritual Power] 10 points, [Cognition] 15 points, start adding!

Lloyd felt that he needed to clarify that he absolutely did not give up the bucket-style point-adding strategy.

The [Inspiration] that suddenly soared by 20 points was really not added by him.

It's the aftereffect of reading that book...

Thanks to Cat_ED for the 100 points reward
