I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 554 554. My divination is very accurate!

The other end of the spatial coordinates will appear within the scope of the abandoned city. This is an unexpected and reasonable development for Lloyd.

He remembered that Hiltina once reminded him that if he was unable to do anything, just go to the abandoned city and have a look.

She must have sensed something in that direction, but it was very vague and obscure, so she couldn't be sure, so she could only give Lloyd this suggestion.

And having said that, Hiltina's attitude towards that area has always been a bit strange. It is obviously such a big hidden danger in the city, but she never paid much attention to it.

This moment made Lloyd wonder if there was something hidden there that even the saints would avoid.

If we connect this speculation with the weird space coordinates, it seems to make sense?

If there is really a child of chaos in that place, even the saint Hiltina cannot observe or touch it. She can only vaguely feel that something is wrong, but lacks actual basis to deal with it, so she That place has been on hold.

From this point of view, it is really necessary to go to the depths of this abandoned city, but not only to help Wei Ya and Miss Desda solve their problems, but also to eliminate a possible hidden danger in the Brilliant City.

After all, when he and Hiltina are officially married in the future, Brilliant City will become Lloyd's own property, and he cannot let it go.

And without further delay, the longer it is delayed, the more serious accidents may happen to Wei Ya and Miss Desda.

But before setting off, there is one last thing that needs to be determined——

The range delineated by these coordinates is still a bit too big, and we need to screen it again. Otherwise, in such a large area, who knows when we can find this elusive monster?

After having a rough range, shrinking it will not be as troublesome as before. At the same time, in the present world, there are still some spatial coordinates for reference, so you can try the divination effect first.

So Lloyd said to the scholars and investigators around him who were waiting for his words:

"I'm going to the abandoned city area to investigate, but before that, I need to use divination to narrow down the scope."

"It's reasonable. Otherwise, with such a large abandoned city and an even larger and more complex underground city, it would be impossible to complete the search in a short time, but..."

Old York first agreed with Lloyd's judgment, but then put forward some detailed views:

"In fact, when we first came into contact with this incident, we tried various divination methods, but with no results at all."

"No results?"

"Yes, whether it is a cautious step-by-step divination or a risky straight-to-the-top divination, they all have no results and no warning, as if they have completely failed."

Old York spread his hands helplessly and explained:

"That's why we changed to the method you see now."

After hearing this, Lloyd thought for a moment, nodded and replied:

"Well... considering the characteristics of the Son of Chaos, it is not surprising that divination is ineffective against it, but the situation is different now. We have a clear goal and several sets of coordinate data. It is no longer a clueless divination. ”

"Hmm...that's true. Then I'll go take a shower and change clothes, and try divination again."

"Ah? Do you still need to bathe and change clothes for fortune telling? It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right?"

"Ah??? Don't you need it?"

Old York asked with astonishment on his face.

"Anyway, I've never been in this much trouble. Let me try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll replace you."

As Lloyd said this, he took out his favorite divination prop—a matchstick—from his pocket.

The scholars and investigators on the side were stunned when they saw such a simple prop, and then couldn't help but whisper again:

"Is this... a unique divination technique from Mizkatok? You don't need to avoid us? You only need such a simple prop?"

"What are you thinking? I'm sure that box of matches must be specially made, and maybe it can be used as a weapon!"

"Yes, did you notice the three calculators that Mr. Lloyd took out just now? I have never seen such a magical device, and it is so small and light. I must be sure that this box of matches is also specially made."

"Yeah! And the production process is very exquisite. The appearance is exactly the same as the matches you can buy anywhere on the street."

"After all, it is Mizkatok. Their research on occult science must have far surpassed ours and reached an unimaginable realm... Okay, don't gossip, let's take a closer look at Master Lloyd's divination method. "

At this moment, Lloyd was focusing on divination and completely ignored these 'gossips'. After some preparation and preparation, he began to reveal the nature of human beings:

"Where are the Sons of Chaos? Where are the Sons of Chaos? Where are the Sons of Chaos?"

After that, he threw the match on the table.

As a result, the matches fell on the table normally, showing no pattern or direction, and no strange phenomena emerged.

This shows that the divination failed and there is no conclusion.

Sure enough, even if I know the existence of this thing, it is still very difficult. Even if my [Divination] skill is level 10, I still can't directly divine it. It seems that I have to change the direction.

Lloyd summarized it in his mind, picked up the matchsticks one by one, thought about it for a while, and then changed the question:

"Where should I go to solve the troubles of Wei Ya and her family? Where should I go to solve the troubles of Wei Ya and her family?"

As a result, this attempt still failed, and the scattered matchsticks still had no direction.

Still not working, it seems that we have to change the angle and minimize the correlation with the Son of Chaos...

Lloyd thought for a moment, then pulled the map of the Brilliant City to his side, marked several points on it with the pen, and wrote a long series of complicated numbers next to it, which were calculated previously. coordinate data.

Then, he took out only a matchstick and began to repeat the question in his mouth:

"Which one is special? Which one is special? Which one is special?"

This time I tried it, and finally there was a change.

As soon as the matchstick was taken off the hand, it started burning on its own. At first there was a normal orange fire, but the color quickly became bright and thick, like plasma, making it difficult to tell whether it was flame or blood.

Then, this bloody flame fell on the map, accurately covering a coordinate on it, and quickly burned a hole in the map. However, it was not a scorch mark caused by normal burning, but revealed a clean and neat cut. It's like it was cut out by a knife blade.

Finally, the bloody flame gradually extinguished in the empty area on the map, leaving some residue of the matchstick, but it was not the burnt black carbide it should be, but a crystal-clear drop of blood, which slowly sank into the table and left a mark on it. There was a bloody stain that seemed to be splashed with blood.

The divination indeed gave a clear direction, but the omen presented made other people present change their expressions.

"Teacher Lloyd, I'm afraid this is a sign..."

An investigator who was also proficient in divination asked cautiously, not daring to say anything too harshly.

Lloyd did not answer in a hurry, but tilted his chin to interpret it for a while, and then tapped his palm.

"The conclusion is...optimistic!"

"ah???"

"This is an omen, indicating that we will find this troublesome monster in that place, and let it splash blood on the spot for what it did before, and pay for it with blood!"

Lloyd's interpretation made everyone present speechless for a moment.

Although there is no clear right or wrong way to interpret omens, isn't this perspective a little too outrageous?

The awkward silence lasted for a while, and then Old York smiled and said something to smooth things over:

"Haha... Your Mizkatok's divination method is really different, isn't it?"

But Lloyd explained it seriously:

"Uh... Strictly speaking, I have nothing to do with the occult department. This is the conclusion I got through the most conventional divination."

"No... then you..."

Old York was hesitant to speak for a while. He really wanted to ask you about your so-called most conventional divination. How could you not bathe and change clothes, completely ignore safety rules, and finally make such an outrageous interpretation?

But Lloyd didn't seem to see the embarrassed look on his old face, and he was still minding his own business and said:

"Don't worry, I'm quite accomplished in divination and I never miss anything."

After saying that, he stood up from the table and prepared to open the portal.

But before leaving, he remembered Hildina's previous warning, telling him not to show off alone.

So he still asked:

"Is anyone here with you?"

If many people would have followed him before the divination, then naturally no one would dare to talk to him after witnessing the bloody omen.

The large blood stain on the table is still wet and has not dried yet...

Seeing no one responded, Lloyd just pursed his lips and didn't say much.

At worst, I'll go to the Alumni Association to bring in reinforcements...

Anyway, Professor Lawrence just said not to involve the college, and he didn’t say he couldn’t find classmates from the alumni association, right?

However, seeing that Lloyd had decided to leave, Old York weighed it up and gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll go with you."

He was probably also worried that if Lord Rand's son-in-law who rode a dragon was revealed to be there, he might not be able to live a good life in the future...

What's more, the Lord paid a high price to hire people like them, so he shouldn't have backed down at this time.

With Old York taking the lead, three more investigators immediately stood up together after whispering to each other.

"We'll go too."

Lloyd looked back at the three guys and found that two of them were the ones who had yelled at him the hardest just now, and they were also the youngest in appearance.

Not bad. I have the courage to question and take responsibility. As expected, I am not the same creature as the Internet trolls on earth.

Lloyd nodded secretly and mentally improved his evaluation of these two people.

In terms of rank and attributes... He has not yet passed the fifth level, and his average value is not even a fraction of Lloyd's...

But the problem is not big. In the field of investigators, experience is often more important than attributes and ranks. These two people look young and have more than fifteen years of experience.

Just like the investigator Kandin who worked with Lloyd last time, his rank and strength are not high, but he used a precise flying ax to 'assist' Lloyd at the critical moment, helping him regain his consciousness at the critical moment, thus defeating That terrifying hexahedron statue.

So Lloyd doesn't dislike others.

As for the last one left, he was the one who always said that he had met Bai Yueguang. According to his previous self-introduction, he was also a senior investigator with more than fifty years of experience and very rich experience and strength.

The rank is not low either. Like Lloyd, he is at the sixth level. The average attribute value is over 500. He should not be far from the seventh level. He is much stronger than the clown judge. He is the second strongest among this group of people. .

Of course, Lloyd couldn't find a reason to refuse.

But I just don’t know if he is willing to participate because he wants to break through himself? I still want to see his Bai Yueguang who died young...

In short, such a temporary team of five people was assembled. Lloyd said hello to his future father-in-law on the side and stretched out his hand to open the portal.

This scene naturally made everyone present marvel again and again.

This was the first time for many people to see the portal. If the previous omens hadn't been too bloody, they might have followed suit.

Only the future father-in-law didn't pay much attention to the portal. Instead, he looked at Old York with a complicated look, as if conveying some kind of expectation.

Old York actually understood it and nodded very solemnly.

Maybe he was guaranteeing that he would definitely bring Lloyd back?

On Lloyd's side, after preparing the portal, he did not rush in recklessly. Instead, he put his hand on the door handle first, and then released some inspiration to test the reality behind it.

Then he frowned, quickly took his hand back, stretched out his hand and pulled on the door a few times, and closed the door.

"You can't go in directly, it's a little bit dangerous."

Lloyd opened his mouth to explain.

In fact, strictly speaking, it's not a little dangerous, but a little weird.

His inspiration and strange intuition gave a reminder, but it was not the usual beating of gongs and drums, but a doubt, indicating that the situation behind the door might be strange and abnormal.

You definitely can't go in directly, you have to take a roundabout way.

So Lloyd opened a new portal and walked in with the four people behind him.

As soon as they landed, they found that it was just an ordinary commercial street, not far from Wei Ya's house.

"Huh? What is this..."

Old York wanted to ask questions, but Lloyd didn't explain anything. He just walked into the toy store next to him alone. When he came out, he had several pairs of exaggerated cartoon masks in his hands.

"Choose the one you like. When you go in later, it's best not to show your true face, let alone call each other's names directly. Just use the image of the mask as a code name."

"Yeah, a very safe approach."

Old York nodded in agreement at first, but after taking a closer look at the mask chosen by Lloyd, he couldn't help but frown.

What kind of monster is this? Why is it either a ghost or a ghost? Or maybe it's zombie skulls and locust-like monsters...

Obviously, he doesn't quite approve of Lloyd's aesthetics...

However, the two young investigators were relatively receptive.

"Haha, this is the kind of prop used in role-playing tabletop games, right? It's quite special. Instructor Lloyd, please go first."

Lloyd also did his part and took the lead in choosing the weird locust mask.

He specially selected this mask for himself. He couldn't wait to put it on and try it on on the spot. Then he reached out and touched his waist and tilted his head.

He felt like something was missing...

So he returned to the toy store and asked the teller if he had any belt-type props for sale.

The other party shook his head and looked at him with a puzzled look, not quite understanding the intention.

Forget it, let’s get down to business first...

In this way, Lloyd led the four people to a secluded place, opened a portal, and arrived at the outskirts of the abandoned city.

For safety's sake, it's safer to walk over there.
