Chapter 71 71. Action begins

After the chief judge finished his explanation, the next step was a round of intensive preparations.

First, the priest of the Joyous Order gathered everyone together and gave them the blessing of [Shelter].

"You must be equal, overcome difficulties together, support each other, get to know each other, and go to the future together. You must learn to endure suffering, share happiness, and tolerate each other..."

Lloyd frowned as he listened to the prayers beside him. He always felt that the prayers this guy recited were strange, and there was a kind of indescribable, unserious feeling?

Obviously, this guy looked like he had gray hair and beard, and he looked highly respected, but he always gave people a very unreliable feeling...

After a simple ceremony, Lloyd suddenly felt an invisible force descending on him, covering his whole body, as if he was wearing an invisible transparent armor, with a feeling of firmness and solidity, but without any substantial weight or touch.

Then, he grinned and laughed "Haha" twice involuntarily.

Metis beside him also suddenly sneered "hehe".

Not only the two of them, but everyone present laughed in various ways, which made the serious atmosphere on the scene lively, and the solemnity that was originally weighing on everyone's hearts became a little lighter.

The unreliable old pastor was also laughing and continued:

"That's right, facing danger and difficulties with a smile is the true meaning of [joy]; and bringing happiness and laughter to others is the true meaning of [shelter]."

Lloyd felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his words, but he couldn't find a point to complain about for a while...

So he took advantage of everyone gathering together and [investigated] one by one to see if there were any masters among these teammates.

As a result, when he released his skills and took a closer look, he couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Good guy! '

Except for himself, everyone was in a state of [mild madness]. Everyone was a little crazy, making the church look like a mental hospital.

It’s hard to say whether the judge arranged it this way on purpose…

As for the attributes, the strongest one is still Metis——

[Target: Metis]

[Status: Mild Madness]

[Rationality: ? ? ]

[Spiritual Power: ? ? ]

[Inspiration: 30]

[Cognition: 38]

The values ​​of [Rationality] and [Spiritual Power] are still ‘? ? ’, which means they are higher than Lloyd’s current 40 points of [Inspiration].

She still has that kind of numerical beauty…

In contrast, the values ​​of the other two executors are much inferior, the highest [Rationality] is 40, and the rest are hovering around 30 points.

Looking at the scholars from the Holy Court, [Rationality] and [Cognition] are the most outstanding, both around 20 points, and the remaining two are much lower, hovering around 10 points.

The remaining four executors are even weaker, the highest [Rationality] and [Inspiration] are around 15 points, and the other two are miserable with only single digits.

From this point of view, the strength of the people present was clearly divided into several levels. It was unknown why the chief judge made such an arrangement. He had not explained it before.

Lloyd continued to observe and saw that the scholars from the Holy Court were busy, opening the equipment boxes they brought with them and began to distribute equipment to the twelve people present.

Not all the people present had to enter the -7th floor of Tower 3. The real action was only four executioners in gray uniforms, four executors in blue uniforms, and four scholars from the Holy Court.

The rest of the people would stay here and meditate in front of the shield sculpture.

This was also the arrangement made by the chief judge, and the specific reason and significance were also not explained.

Lloyd quickly got his own set.

First, there was a metal mask, which was silver-white, smooth as a mirror on the surface, with a slight arc, which could be used as a not-too-exaggerated funhouse mirror, reflecting a slightly distorted scene.

But there was not even a crack on it, and it would definitely be impossible to see anything after wearing it, which looked particularly strange.

Then there was a small wooden stick for biting in the mouth, a pair of earplugs with the texture of plasticine, an ‘X’-shaped pendant, and two flashlight-shaped weapons.

“This is called [Psychic Light Blade]. If you inject some spiritual power into it, it can form an invisible blade to cut things you can’t see…”

A scholar from the Holy Court briefly explained to Lloyd how to use the flashlight, and specifically reminded him:

“Be careful not to hurt yourself, don’t cut those hard things, and don’t inject too much spiritual power… In short, be careful not to break it, this thing is precious!”

Lloyd nodded seriously, and picked it up to try the feel.

It was as light as a fluorescent stick, and the feel was very bad.

After the intensive preparations, the voice of the chief judge sounded in everyone's mind again:

"Let's get started."

……………………

Accompanied by the 'click' sound of a large gear running, a heavy iron door slowly rose, and the door to Tower 3 was opened, revealing a dark and gloomy scene inside.

A damp and cold breath suddenly hit us, mixed with the smell of dust.

This place has been closed for a year, and no one has cleaned or maintained it. Naturally, it is not as clean and tidy as other towers. When the personnel were evacuated, they were a little anxious, and various papers and sundries could be seen scattered on the ground.

Fortunately, there were no other strange things or odors, and Lloyd did not receive any prompts from the panel, indicating that the mental pollution here was not as serious as previously imagined.

This made him a little disappointed. He originally thought he would be able to level up several levels this time...

"Ha~ It seems that your No. 3 tower was really in a mess at the beginning."

The executioner with triangular eyes and a sinister face sneered, glanced at the other executioner who looked like a farmer next to him, and then walked into the tower first.

A scholar following him reminded:

"The power should be well preserved, let's restore it first."

As he spoke, he carried a silver-white suitcase and walked in.

The presiding judge required that the twelve-man team must act in unison, so the group had to find the power distribution room first. As the switch was closed, the light illuminated the interior of the tower again, dispersing the original darkness.

"After you enter the elevator, you will no longer be able to hear my voice, so I remind you one last time, don't think too much, don't ask too many questions, and strictly follow the schedule."

The presiding judge continued, paused slightly, and then the voice sounded in Lloyd's head:

"No matter what you find in that cell, don't hesitate and remember that."

Lloyd pursed his lips and nodded, not sure if the presiding judge could see it.
