I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 342 341. Madness caused by greed

The investigation team, which had been following Lloyd and the other two closely and trudging through the snow, suddenly discovered some bad news:

"Huh? One of the two people suddenly disappeared?"

"What? What does it mean to disappear suddenly? Fell off a cliff? Which one of the two was it?"

"It was the stronger one, suspected to be level five. My inspiration suddenly couldn't find him."

"Internal strife?"

"Not likely. The other person's strength is only level three, and the two did not fight. Maybe he activated some ability? Or used some kind of holy object or equipment? Have you heard of the kind of equipment that can get rid of inspiration lock?"

"I've heard of it, but it's rare and precious. It means that the guy is really a rich young master. This time he came prepared. He must have come for the bounty. Otherwise, Why don't you enjoy the luxury cars and beauties and come to this ghost place to drink the cold wind? "

"Damn it! They are so rich, but they have to come to steal our bounty. This may be just an adventure or a game for them, but they have to steal our life-saving straw. These rich people are so hateful! I must hang their bodies on the street lamp!"

"Yes, I felt that these two guys were not good people from the beginning. The third-level one was playing dumb with me before, pretending that he didn't know what the bounty was. Humph..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, speed up, keep an eye on the third-level one, don't let him escape, we don't have a guide around us, if we lose him, we will become headless flies!"

"Uh... my inspiration is a little tired, let someone else keep an eye on them."

The five members of the investigation team discussed it together, and carried out another round of surveillance rotation, and their feet were also speeding up.

After following for a while, someone suddenly suggested:

"Oh right! Do you remember? A little further ahead is a steep mountain road with a dangerous cliff on the right. We'd better get there before those two guys. If we get in front of them..."

"Good idea! If they still don't know what to do, it would be a good place for them to encounter a little accident... And on that dangerous mountain road, no matter how powerful that fifth-level guy is, it would be difficult for him to show his power."

"But... wouldn't it be a bit wrong? We have no grudges against them, and there is no need to offend that guy. The family behind the rich young master, right? "

"No grudges? Stealing the bounty we use to save our lives is a blood feud! Do you want to go to the frontier of the great development? Do you know how many people die and go crazy there every day? "

"Yes, if you don't want to participate in the great development and die, don't look back at this critical moment. In this ghost place, any accident may happen, and there will be no clues left, and there is no need to worry about any family revenge. "

These people are obviously from a legal and formal investigation team. They are all extraordinary people from the legal system, and they have no criminal records or criminal records before.

At the beginning, they may not have thought so much, just want to grab this important bounty.

But in this remote wilderness, the greed in their hearts seems to have come to a comfortable greenhouse, and gradually began to take root and sprout, and it is deeply rooted...

Although they are not attracted by the "uncle's legacy", their mentality has also changed significantly. They all have fierce looks on their faces, and their anger at their life situation and dissatisfaction with the harsh environment have all been transformed into hostility towards the two people in front.

It looked like a ferocious beast that had torn off the human skin coat on the surface.

This was not the influence of other people, nor was it Lloyd's [distortion]. It was simply because without the protection and restraint of order and morality, the greed in the heart would no longer have any obstacles, easily defeating reason and morality, and easily giving rise to vicious evil thoughts.

But what is even more ironic is that it seems that the phenomenon of 'once you do evil, the world will forgive you' soon happened to them, and they soon received good news:

"Huh? I locked onto the fifth-level guy again. It seems that the equipment he used to get rid of the inspiration lock has failed?"

"Well... I found him again. He looks very bad and weak. Maybe the two of them really had an internal conflict, or maybe it's the side effect of that special equipment?"

"The third-level guy is even worse. He seems to be... holding his head and wailing? Like he has encountered strong mental pollution?"

"It seems that these two guys have encountered some kind of danger. Although they barely got rid of it, they also paid a painful price. They are staying where they are to rest and catch their breath."

"This is a great opportunity! Let's go around quickly! Go to that mountain road to block them!"

This series of good news immediately injected a burst of heart-strengthening drugs into the entire team, allowing them to burst out with strong motivation all of a sudden, and they did not hesitate to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies to maintain the speed of advancement.

The five members of the investigation team easily bypassed the location of Lloyd and the other two and rushed to the planned mountain road.

Although they were excited, they still maintained a minimum of calmness. The five people continued to use inspiration alternately to lock, and used spiritual power very sparingly, trying to keep everyone in good condition to deal with the battle that might break out next.

As soon as they arrived, the person in charge of monitoring found that Lloyd and the other two started to move again. They should have rested enough and were ready to continue climbing the mountain.

Seeing that the plan was going well, the five people immediately discussed happily:

"Quick, quick, quick! Get to your places, take the time to rest, and wait for them to arrive!"

"Tell me...do those two people carry a lot of money with them?"

"Definitely. When I was in charge of locking it just now, I vaguely heard the third-level man begging the fifth-level man to save him, and he was willing to hand over a check of 50 million as a reward!"

"Fifty million? Isn't this higher than our bounty? Then why should we investigate Blizzard Villa? Wouldn't it be better to just catch this fat sheep and steal the check?"

"That man looks so young, how can he carry so much money? Did you hear wrongly?"

"No, no, I heard it too. That boy is actually a freeloader. He married into a wealthy family. He has a father-in-law who runs a pig-killing farm. He is very rich!

But his father-in-law is not satisfied with this marriage. The 50 million is the 'divorce fee' given by his father-in-law. And he came here to take risks this time just to prove his ability to his father-in-law and to save his marriage. That He hired the fifth-level ones with this money! "

"I see. No wonder I found the spirituality of several holy objects in that boy. He must have sold his lust in exchange for it!"

"What? He still has a sacred object on him? Damn it, I have been working in this industry for ten years, and I have only seen a few rough sealed objects, and I have never even purchased a sacred object!"

"What's even more disgusting is that this kind of loser can actually marry a young, beautiful and submissive wife to him? Even in order to help him, he doesn't hesitate to confront his own father, and secretly gives him sacred objects?"

"Why would such a loser marry such a good woman? In my opinion, we might as well save that kid's life and then use it to blackmail his wife. Since his wife loves him so much, she definitely can't bear to watch him being tortured by us, right? ?”

"Hey! This is a great idea! I like it!"

The more these five people chatted, the more excited they became, as if they saw a pitiful wealthy daughter with tears in her eyes standing in front of them. In order to save her lover, she wiped her tears while kneeling reluctantly in front of everyone...

They couldn't wait to see this scene, hoping that Lloyd and the two would come over quickly and surrender themselves to the trap as soon as possible.

Their ideas were so strong that they quickly put them into practice——

"Coming!"

"Huh? Why are there so many people around that kid?"

"Damn it! It's another group of extraordinary beings, and that guy bought them with money!"

"What should I do? Do you want to go?"

"What is there to hesitate about now? Don't you want that rich lady?"

"Don't be afraid. There are only five people on the other side. The fifth-level one is no longer there. He may have left because of a conflict or was killed by another group of people. But there are seven people on our side! We still have the advantage of the terrain!"

"Their strongest ones are at level four, and so are we, so there's nothing to be afraid of, just go with them!"

Soon, Lloyd and his group of five people walked onto this mountain trail. Due to the rugged and dangerous terrain, the five people who originally walked together had to line up in a straight line, clinging to the cliff and climbing the mountain path carefully.

On the other side, there is a bottomless cliff. Once you lose your footing, there is no chance of survival.

After Lloyd and the five of them had walked further, they suddenly heard a low voice coming from the corner of the mountain road:

"superior!"

Three people suddenly appeared from around the corner, holding matchlocks in one hand and brewing their own abilities in the other, and launched a surprise attack.

Lloyd and his party obviously did not expect that there would be an ambush here. The person walking at the front was unprepared and was attacked by various abilities, and fell into the nearby cliff on the spot.

"There's an ambush! That kid actually led someone to ambush us? The members of the investigation team were bribed by him!"

"Damn it! I knew this little bastard was up to something and wanted to deal with us from the beginning!"

"Go back quickly!"

At the retreat at the back, two other people suddenly appeared and launched an attack, blocking Lloyd and his party in the middle of the road.

"No! We are surrounded!"

"Don't panic! The fifth-level ones are not here, they are no match for us!"

"For that kid's fiancée! Fight!"

Although the situation was very unfavorable, Lloyd was not easy to deal with and immediately launched a counterattack on the narrow mountain road.

So a life-and-death battle broke out in this desperate place.

Both sides were using all their strength, as if they had a blood feud with each other, stabbing each other until their bayonets were red, and even willing to trade their lives for their lives.

Even though the investigation team had a huge advantage, it also paid a heavy price. After the last enemy was kicked off the cliff, the leader of the fourth level was seriously injured, leaving a horrific wound on his waist. He was leaning on the cliff and panting rapidly.

"Are you still alive?"

He turned to look at the last remaining companion. That person also looked like he had exhausted all his spiritual energy. He was lying softly on the ground. His chest was rising and falling rapidly, but he still gritted his teeth and said:

"fine……"

"Where's the kid we want to catch?"

"In the back, he has fainted from shock."

"That's okay. Our brothers did not die in vain."

The leading investigator whispered, took out a tube of healing potion from his waist, and drank it. The injury on his waist quickly stopped bleeding, and the pain was no longer unbearable. His complexion gradually improved.

He then staggered to the last companion, helped him up with difficulty, and continued:

"Don't worry, after I get that kid's money and take over his wife, I will send pensions to your parents."

"Um?"

His companion was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was pushed off the cliff.

Whether it’s money, holy objects, or someone else’s wife, it’s definitely best to enjoy it alone…

Anyway, many people have already died, and no one will care if one more dies...

After pushing the last companion off the cliff, the investigator walked towards Lloyd, who had fainted from fear, preparing to collect the spoils of the trip.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard someone behind him whispering:

"You won't even spare your own people?"

The investigator was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there were six people in his team, and one of them was still alive?

But he didn't hesitate much, and continued to face the other party. He quietly changed the bullets for the matchlock gun in his hand, injected spiritual power into it, and continued to say:

"No, you misunderstood. In fact, this guy has always had a grudge against me. He has been secretly colluding with other investigation teams outside my back. This is why our missions always failed, and we finally fell into a debt crisis. I killed him to avenge everyone..."

As he spoke, he suddenly responded and aimed a shot at the figure behind him.

But the next second, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because he saw the bullet with spiritual power, and he held it in his hand with a gentle wave of his hand.

"You...why did you suddenly become so powerful?"

"No...no, you...who are you?"

As the investigator spoke, his eyes suddenly started to spin. The 'companions' who finally stood in front of him gradually turned into two people, and then showed the face of a fat sheep.

"You...how is that possible?"

The investigator suddenly realized something, suddenly showed a crazy expression, screamed strangely and rushed towards Lloyd.

But then, he saw the other party pop out a matchstick with his fingers.

For a moment, he suddenly felt a coldness in his waist, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

After another second, he realized that his lower body had left his body, as if it had been split in two by a sharp sword blade, leaving a neat and smooth section.

"Ah!!!! Ah!!!!"

He suddenly screamed like crazy, the sound echoing back and forth among the mountains, and then his upper body struggled to crawl, trying to find the last straw.

But obviously, that straw cannot grow on this narrow mountain road full of blood and filth...

"Let's go."

Lloyd said coldly and turned around.

"well……"

Little Olga shook her head, turned back to follow, and then asked in a low voice:

"Did you do something to them?"

Lloyd spread his hands innocently.

"I've been with you all the time. You've seen every move, haven't you?"

"But... then why did they act like they were crazy, staged this farce, and then killed each other?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the greed in their hearts that drives their madness; maybe it's because of the special environment here? You see, they made such a fuss and didn't cause an avalanche or anything."

Little Olga pursed her lips and did not continue to ask. Instead, she reached out to catch a piece of scattered snowflakes and followed the topic that Lloyd diverted:

"Maybe, the snow here is indeed unnatural."

As he spoke, he poured some spiritual power into his palm, and the snowflakes suddenly seemed to vaporize, turning into a white smoke.

This is obviously an unnatural phenomenon, indicating that these snowflakes and the wind and snow here are also part of the abnormal event.

Then this may explain why those people suddenly lost their minds and went crazy.

Although it can be explained this way, little Olga is still more inclined to think that Lloyd did something.

Because the previous scene was too weird...

Ever since he listened to Lloyd's suggestion and used a holy object that could escape other people's inspiration locks from a long distance, Lloyd was immediately locked by four sources of inspiration.

To an extraordinary person, this is already an act of naked hostility.

Little Olga couldn't help but feel a little worried, but Lloyd acted as if nothing had happened and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. He didn't care at all. He even deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for those people to catch up.

The inspiration locked on him is still being rotated, obviously in order to maintain his condition and prepare to take action next.

But Lloyd just smiled and told little Olga not to worry and just wait and watch the show.

So next, the two came to the narrow mountain road, and then watched the fight between the two groups from a little further away, and witnessed the man from the investigation team pushing down his last surviving companion. cliff.

Although the bodies of these people have not yet begun to alienate, little Olga has no doubt that they are all crazy.

So he once suspected that Lloyd was actually involved in the "story" path, because this kind of plot was very similar to those in the "story".

But there was no sign of the activation of [Story], nor was Lloyd able to mobilize his inspiration and spiritual power.

Although Olga is a [Projection] path, his father is a seventh-level boss of the [Story] path. He is obviously very familiar with [Story] and is confident that no one can quietly launch [Story] around him.

How did Lloyd do it?

Is it the legendary [Distortion]?

It's a pity that Olga just guessed the correct answer and denied it.

No, this is even more impossible. [Distortion]... It is definitely not a field that humans can get involved in.

That is the safest taboo system, and it will not cause any harm to society...

In this way, it should be the effect of a certain holy object on him? He does carry three holy objects, one of which may have a similar effect of interfering with other people's thinking.

Olga has heard people mention this kind of holy object before.

Although this kind of holy object is very precious and does not seem to be held by a young man, Lloyd has indeed shown a talent worth a large investment, so it makes sense to give him a powerful holy object for self-defense.

Maybe it was from the powerful Brilliant Order, or maybe it was from the more mysterious Mitzkatok?

In this way, little Olga successfully convinced herself...

He didn't mind Lloyd hiding something, after all, no matter how close friends were, they could keep their privacy.

Besides, the two had just met not long ago, and he also had a holy object on him that he hadn't told Lloyd.

However, this holy object that could silently interfere with other people's thoughts and consciousness still made little Olga feel deeply in awe.

He was also secretly glad that the two had similar interests and could be friends instead of enemies...
