I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 555 555. I also have acquaintances in this kind of place

After arriving at the outskirts of the abandoned city, Lloyd led everyone on a rampage, passing through almost every residential area and breaking through several walls, just to take the shortest straight line and run to find his 'acquaintances' here.

That is, the 'Lame Dad', who had had some simple contact before when he completed the third and fourth [Transcendence].

Thanks to the weird mask on his face, the serious uniform, and the windy posture when he walked, there was no child without eyes who dared to hug his thigh along the way, and no strong man who was not afraid of death dared to borrow money.

Even when taking a shortcut from other people's homes, they would only dare to huddle in the corner and tremble, looking at this group of people with horror on their faces, not daring to say a word.

It's like a bully patrolling the streets with his thugs, powerful thugs of the eighth level and nearly seventh level...

Lloyd was still a little complacent about this. After all, every time he came in, he thought that he could not find the way in this maze-like terrain, so he could only pay for someone to lead the way. But it was different now. With the help of the space system ability, You can easily locate Lame Daddy's bar, so just walk straight there.

There was no way, it was getting late, it was almost dark, so we had to speed up, which would inevitably cause a lot of chaos along the way.

But the other people in the temporary team were a little embarrassed. Old York asked in a low voice through the skull mask on his face:

"Wouldn't this be a bit too showy?"

"That's what we Mizkatok people are like."

Lloyd casually passed the blame to the academy.

"Uh...well, this straightforward style is indeed more conducive to solving problems."

Old York said, secretly pouting through his mask.

With such a forcibly opened shortcut, Lloyd and his party quickly arrived at Lame Daddy's bar.

The people in the bar were startled when they saw such a group of masked weirdos suddenly barging in. They each reached for the weapons at their waists and under the table, warily looking at this group of uninvited guests. It was originally quite noisy. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, with only the honest gramophone in the corner still playing a melodious melody.

After the two sides looked at each other, Lloyd looked at the lame dad dressed as a bartender behind the bar and asked with a slight smile:

"Don't remember me?"

"Who are you……"

The lame dad hesitated for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead as if enlightened, and asked in surprise and excitement:

"Wait! I remember your voice! You...oh no, you are the baby-faced judge from last time?"

What the hell is a baby-faced inquisitor? I have long been a handsome, tall and mature young man, right?

Lloyd cursed in his heart and recalled that the last time he came here, he seemed to be wearing a cartoon face mask, with a slightly cute two-dimensional style...

Forget it, baby faces are just baby faces, baby faces look young.

Lloyd didn't think any more and started to greet again:

"How are you doing here now?"

"Haha, thanks to you, I feel much more comfortable than before."

The lame dad smiled heartily, waved his hands to the people around him who were facing the enemy, and told them to relax, and then said in a proud tone:

"This is the baby-faced judge you have often heard of. Although he chose a unique mask today, I still remember his figure and voice clearly. It is precisely because of him That heroic act saved our neighborhood!”

As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine and raised it to Lloyd. The other drinkers present also raised their glasses to show their respect.

This actually made Lloyd a little embarrassed. He just got rid of a rare monster that can cause people to commit suicide inexplicably, so he didn't...

So he quickly waved his hands around as a greeting, then approached the bar and got to the point directly.

"You should have the map below, right?"

"Of course, I'll have someone bring it over right now."

The lame old man nodded, then motioned to his subordinates to bring several volumes of maps, spread them out on the table, and then said:

"Do you want to go down? But even with a map, the situation down there is very complicated. I can arrange for you to have the most clever guide to accompany you."

"Don't worry, wait for me to take a look."

Lloyd did not agree in a hurry, but picked up the flat maps and looked at them for a while, and couldn't help but feel a big headache.

These maps are too rudimentary. They are basically hand-drawn sketches. They look like mysterious treasure maps. Moreover, they are single-layer plans. For the three-dimensional underground city, they are basically not of much use.

That is to say, thanks to the help of Lloyd's space system ability, he was able to restore a rough three-dimensional map in his mind, so he could barely understand it.

After looking at it for a while, he finally found the location he wanted to go on the simple map, pointed at it, and asked:

"Have you been to this place?"

The lame old man opposite took the map, looked at it for a long time, and asked several subordinates around him before finally figuring out where that place was, and then answered:

"You want to go here? I have never been to this place, but I know there is something special about it..."

"Oh? Tell me specifically?"

"Well... to put it simply, you should also know that the scale of the entire underground city is actually very large. The area where people are currently active only occupies a small part, and in the deeper places, it is said that there is another Large areas of relics left by ancient civilizations..."

Lloyd nodded, indicating that he was not surprised by this detail.

Those people in the Twilight Era had some signs of "hurrying to medical treatment". They were digging underground cities to build shelters everywhere, so there was nothing new about ancient shelters anywhere, even for Lloyd's own family. No one downstairs would be surprised by this.

What's more, the Brilliant City also has an advanced subway that costs '+50' no matter how you ride. It was a 'legacy' of the time, so it would be strange if there were no shelters and dungeons down here.

It's just that Brilliant City finally gave up on this abandoned city and didn't make much use of it. I don't know what considerations Hiltina made before making the choice.

Lloyd asked, but she didn't explain, she just blocked his mouth with her own mouth...

The lame dad continued:

"And the place you want to go to is said to be the only way to the ancient ruins. It once attracted many desperadoes, but none of them could come back, so no one dared to go in anymore, and even The passage there is blocked..."

"But just two years ago? Or three years ago? Anyway, around that time, a group of foreign gangs suddenly occupied the nearby area, and the passage was dug... but no one knew about this group. What are we doing there? They don’t allow us to get close. Anyone who gets close will be killed by them, and there is almost no interaction with us.”

"I met their people once, and they gave me a bad feeling. I have reason to suspect that they are dangerous cult members. Are you here to destroy them?"

After hearing this, Lloyd asked:

"Cultists? How did you come to this conclusion? Do they dress up in a special way? Or do they have any obvious marks on their bodies?"

"Haha, that's not true. The cultists hiding here won't dress themselves up so conspicuously, otherwise they will be kicked out by us...

In fact... there is no clear evidence for my accusation. On the surface, these people don't look much different from us. At most, their clothes are a little cleaner, right? But they are different and make me feel something is wrong..."

The lame dad smiled slightly awkwardly, spread his hands, and immediately added:

"You should know that people like me often deal with what you think of as lawless elements and gangs. They can recognize such people at a glance, but that group of outsiders are obviously different from gang members. Their actions and gestures are obvious. , there is a very strange...how should I say that word? "

"A sense of ritual?"

Lloyd reminded.

"Yes, yes! It's this damn sense of ritual!"

The lame old man tapped his palm hard and asked slightly excitedly:

"So are you here to destroy them?"

This is the second time he has asked this, as if he has some deep grudge against this group of people?

But before Lloyd could ask, he took the initiative to explain:

"Although our place is a chaotic and lawless place in your eyes, we actually have our own set of rules. Who can use it, who can cooperate, and who must be driven away. We have our own set of rules. Way……"

"But what everyone hates and hates the most is those cultists. They often cause us a lot of trouble and kill a lot of people, so the gangs below will not tolerate such people staying. Here."

"It's just that this new gang is a bit too troublesome. I heard that the gang below was severely punished and lost many good players. In the end, I had no choice but to write an anonymous letter to Sheng Enting. Report letter, but no response has been received..."

These words made Lloyd couldn't help but want to laugh.

Why are criminals reduced to writing anonymous letters?

However, it can also be seen that the group below is probably not simple, and must be more difficult. They also cleverly took advantage of Hiltina's blind spot, as if they knew that she didn't pay much attention to this area.

And the weird feeling I noticed through the portal before should be related to it?

If we continue to contact the cigar club where the previous congressman representative belongs, it seems that the cause and effect are connected in this way?

So it seems that we really came to the right place today. How dare you make trouble in my backyard? But let’s see how many lives this group of cultists have?

So Lloyd immediately said:

"We are indeed here for this, so don't waste time. Where is the guide you mentioned earlier?"

"He must have just returned from the mining area and is resting at home, right? I'll call him over right now!"

……………………

"Be careful, the water here is leaking a little bit. There's nothing we can do. We can't find professionals to lay the circuits down there, so we often have to make do."

A miner in his forties pointed to a puddle of water at his feet, reminding Lloyd and others behind him.

This man's face was simple, and he still had lingering fatigue, but he was in high spirits. Along the way, he was still introducing the situation of the underground city to Lloyd and others, acting as a conscientious guide.

In fact, he didn't want to go on this trip at first, but when he heard that the legendary 'baby-faced judge' was coming, he jumped off the bed immediately, regardless of his fatigue, and came to the bar with great enthusiasm to lead Lloyd.

According to him, if Lloyd had not eliminated the strange monster at that time, he would probably still be in a miserable situation where he had no home to return to, so this trip was completely voluntary for Lloyd to be a guide, and he didn't charge any money.

At this time, an investigator wearing a zombie mask, who always saw his white moonlight and was the third strongest person on the scene, spoke through a special channel:

"Although I have heard of this underground city before, it is my first time to come in. It is really amazing..."

"I am the same. I originally thought that there was a dark and damp sewer below, but I didn't expect it to be so magnificent... Fortunately, there is instructor Lloyd, otherwise we come here by ourselves, and I really don't know how to deal with the 'locals' here."

Another investigator wearing a ghost mask also said.

The communication method they are using now is also provided by Lloyd. It is a magical creation from the Engineering Department of Mitzkatok. Everyone only needs to pin a cartoon-style toy badge on their chest to establish a private and convenient communication channel, which is a bit like the "team channel" in various games on Earth.

So don't think that they just followed Lloyd all the way without saying a word. In fact, they have already chatted a lot in the "private chat channel".

Like now, the group that had been the most powerful against Lloyd before, with a ghost mask on his face, was still asking the same question as Lloyd:

"But why give up these areas? Such a large area and complex structure can be used for many things, right? It's really a waste to leave it abandoned like this?"

It can only be said that this guy is really very questioning and courageous, even asking questions to veto the decision of the saint.

Old York answered in a more implicit and obscure way:

"If the situation described by the bartender before is true, and there is really an ancient ruins below, then it is not difficult to understand why we should give up this place, right?"

This made Lloyd suddenly realize something.

So that's it. If there is something dangerous in the ruins, at least it won't rush directly into the city...

No wonder Hiltina chose to avoid talking about this issue...
