6. Black technology?

[Divination (LV1) - a superficial occult trick that can be performed with only a few simple props, and it won't get many useful answers, but it won't incur terrible consequences, continue to learn to improve your skill level]

Lloyd quickly glanced at the new skill description, and noticed that there was an additional line of supplementary instructions below the main description:

"Falsehood and reality are intertwined, and this is the world you touch."

Belch......

That's it? Is it possible to fill in the content a little more?

Just as Lloyd was in his stomach, he suddenly felt an itch in his head, as if he was about to grow his brain.

Then, he had a simple divination technique in mind.

Probably first find a medium, such as a pencil or coin, and then activate the skill, repeat the question in your mind, and finally spin the pencil or flip a coin to arrive at the answer to a true/false question, or the direction of a fork in the road.

Should be able to get 55% correct?

This effect cannot be said to be completely useless, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.

However, Lloyd is not disappointed, after all, this skill is quite easy to come by, and it is only LV1, and there is huge room for subsequent improvement.

If only I could learn this on Earth, the little guarantee wouldn't be so crooked......

Lloyd muttered to himself and got up to leave the library.

Although it was already 8 p.m., there were more people in the library than during the day, and Lloyd was the first to leave.

In fact, you can stay overnight, you only need to rent a dormitory, which can make the already poor income even worse.

But Lloyd's situation is different, there is a sister at home to accompany her, and in order not to worry her, she has to go back early.

He tossed for more than two hours when he came in the morning, but fortunately he didn't have to be so slow when he went back.

According to the brochure, it is equipped with a 'next-generation all-weather all-purpose multi-purpose advanced metro network', which is built by the Holy Grace Inquisition, another of the three major courts.

It uses a large number of cutting-edge technologies, known for its safety, efficiency, convenience, speed and humanity, and is the brightest pearl in the industrial crown.

Anyway, it sounded very powerful, so Lloyd couldn't wait to try it.

"The current level of science and technology in this world, which is still using steam engines and arquebuses, and even electricity is not widely available, can it actually make a subway? It seems that the Order has a lot of black technology that is ahead of its time......"

Lloyd whispered as he followed the instructions in the manual to find the 'subway station' in the 18th arrondissement.

It didn't look like the subway station he remembered, there were no bells and whistles and endless crowds, only a not-so-high hole, which looked dark and a bit like a bomb shelter.

There was a black-clad priest in charge of guarding outside, and when he saw Lloyd coming, he checked his ID card first, and then said:

"New here? Then I'll show you how. ”

With that, he led Lloyd into the dark bomb shelter.

It was dark and damp inside, the walls around it were wet, illuminated only by a faint light, and there was an indescribable faint fishy smell in the air.

I don't know if it's because of the light, but Lloyd always felt that the walls around him were slowly squirming as if they were alive......

Anyway, it doesn't look like the subway station in my impression, but more like the esophagus of a giant beast?

They didn't go far in the cave, and the two of them came to a relatively open and bright 'platform', and a pouch that looked like a pitcher plant hung down from the ceiling, green and oily, the size of an adult, and looked quite a meat factory painting style, which was quite penetrating......

"Where are you going?"

The priest asked, and pulled out a map of the Bright City from his bosom.

"Avenue of the White Roses."

"Hmm...... There's no outpost there, so let's go to Old Oak Street next door, right? Not far away. ”

The priest put down the map, reached for a chain, and dragged the pulley to pull a pair of bags in front of the two men.

He curled two fingers again and reminded:

"Remember this frequency."

As he spoke, he tapped his hand on the surface of the pouch a few times, making a muffled sound of tapping on the plastic.

The pouch automatically grinned, like a pitcher plant grinning.

"Alright, let's go inside."

"It's not...... It's a bit different from what I imagined to be a 'subway', right? ”

"Don't be afraid, it's safe, sit a few more times and get used to it."

Without saying a word, the priest pushed Lloyd into his pouch and opened the opening from the outside.

It's clean and crisp, nothing slimy; Chairs are also prepared, so you don't have to stand all the time; The breathability is also good, and there is no strange smell; It's just that the visibility is very poor, and you can't see the outside situation at all.

"Ready? It's time to start accelerating! ”

Lloyd heard the priest's voice coming from outside.

The next second, he felt a strong push on his back, his eyes went black, and then he felt dizzy.

After about ten minutes, a black wardrobe in the corner suddenly opened the door, and Lloyd 'spit out' from inside.

"Ahem, cough, ahem!"

Lloyd coughed dryly, staggered, and almost fell to the ground, his ears buzzing, feeling that his soul had detached from his body, and he didn't even hear the system prompts.

[Ding~Madness +50, Skill Fragment +1]

Fortunately, someone next to him pulled him in time.

"For the first time?"

The man said, graciously handing over a tissue.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Lloyd slowed down for a moment before he straightened up and found himself in a modest chapel.

Standing next to him was a smiling priest of the Order, wearing a uniform somewhat similar to Lloyd's, but white and more similar to traditional robes.

"This is ......"

"The glittering church of Old Oak Street, your Inquisition side prefers to call it a 'sentry.'"

"Thank you for your help, my name is Lloyd, the new executor today."

"My name is Ma De, psychotherapist, welcome you to join our family, may your future be bright, you can come to me at any time if you need it in the future."

"Thank you, and may the bright light always be with you."

Lloyd exchanged a few words with the pastor Mader, and his body was almost recovered, so he took his leave.

When he walked out of this small church, he saw that it was the old oak street he was familiar with, and it was only a few hundred meters away from his home.

Counting the time consumed earlier, it will only take 20 minutes to get home, which is much faster than the normal commute.

When he and his sister first moved here, Lloyd didn't expect that it would still be a prime location 'near the subway'?
