43. But so

The [bottleneck period] of transcendents is a common phenomenon, which is generally manifested in stagnant strength, inability to grasp ability, difficulty in absorbing knowledge, and so on.

The reasons for the bottleneck are also many and complex, it may be that the ability that can be mastered at this stage has come to an end, and it is necessary to [detach] it again and go to the deeper level of the system; It may also be that the mental state is not good, the learning ability is not good, and the ability to grasp more knowledge and abilities is not possible.

At dinner together, Wei Ya mentioned that she had encountered a bottleneck three years ago, and then adjusted her mentality through swordsmanship, and it took quite a long time to gradually get through it.

But that's all something she didn't encounter until years after she became an extraordinary, and it should be rare for someone like Lloyd to hit a bottleneck within a month of entry.

"My situation should be the first, I need to do a [detachment] to seek a breakthrough, but the system I am in is ...... Alas~ Why did you go astray in the first place? ”

Lloyd sat in his solo office, flipping through a copy of the Atlas System in his hand and whispering a summary.

Although the official promotion ceremony has not yet been held, he has already performed the duties of the executioner in advance, and he is executing the monsters on the 3rd floor every day, so he can naturally enjoy the treatment of this position, not only has a single office with the same specifications as Wei Ya, but also can borrow the books in the library to read, which is much more convenient and comfortable.

After reading it for a while, Lloyd closed the book and asked himself:

"Can I only try to get involved in the [veto] system? Let's save the country with a curve? ”

According to the introduction in this book, it is not uncommon to get involved in two transcendent systems at the same time, but most of them are the choices of high-ranking transcendental people when they are really 'cornered'-

After these strong people [detached] from the original system for 7 or 8 times, it is too difficult to go further, and they have already broken away from the category of hard work and entered the stage of fighting for talent and luck, which is no less difficult than ten consecutive full lives and five stars.

To do this, they had to try other systems, seeking a kind of 'resonance' or 'complementarity' in order to achieve a breakthrough.

But this is a very risky move even for a high-ranking boss, and in the context of today's era, the more knowledge you receive, the faster you are likely to go crazy.

Lloyd wasn't afraid of going crazy, but he was a little afraid of the Sage who had denied it......

According to the book, when learning the various knowledge and abilities of the veto system, you will have a special connection with the Sage, and you will be observed and noticed at any time, a bit like being in a classroom, you are the student below, and the Sage is the teacher above.

Although the Sage is not a deity and cannot notice everyone, no one knows if she will notice herself.

Once her identity is exposed in front of her, I'm afraid it won't end well, and she may not even be given a chance to explain......

"It seems that the idea of saving the country with a curve is not very stable, so let's think again."

Lloyd finally shook his head and looked at the silver-gray uniform hanging in the corner of the office.

Tomorrow there will be a formal promotion ceremony, presided over by the presiding judge himself, who needs to change into this new uniform and officially become an executioner.

Far from being excited, Lloyd was worried about the future.

"If you want to get mixed up in the Holy Inquisition in the future, it is probably not possible not to contact the [veto] system, it may be okay in the short term, but it will be difficult to say after a long time......

"For now, let's calm down and continue to add points, maybe one day I will meet a surprise?"

……………………

That night, Lloyd practiced his swordsmanship as usual until the sun went down.

Although there are no skill fragments, the effect of strengthening the body is still there, and there is no loss after practice.

He went to 'take the subway' home, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he heard a series of coughing and vomiting sounds coming from him.

Immediately after, there was a roar of madness and despair......

Is this filthy subway finally causing a fatal accident?

The first reaction in Lloyd's mind was this.

The next second, he saw a figure staggering out of the hole.

The man was dressed in a clergyman's black uniform, and his body was normal human, except for the entire skull split in half along the center of the eyebrows and the tip of the nose, from which a large number of tentacles were writhing wildly.

Runaway......

As soon as the other party saw Lloyd, it was like a traveler seeing a treasure chest, and he let out a piercing scream and pounced quickly.

Behind him, there was also a man dressed as a hunter of the Holy Grace Court, who was holding on to the wall, dragging himself out with great difficulty, and when he saw that the out-of-control person was rushing towards Lloyd, he hurriedly shouted:

"Ahem, ahem, ahem! Come on! cough cough ......"

As he spoke, he reluctantly raised the flintlock pistol in his hand, pointed it at the back of the out-of-control, and pulled the trigger.

It's a pity that the accuracy is too poor, and I can't even trace the edge, so I can only watch the runaway person pounce in front of Lloyd, and scold anxiously:

"Damn...... cough cough cough ...... Why not run? Ahem...... Scared stupefied? ”

Lloyd didn't dodge, he still stood still, as if he was really scared stupid.

It's just that his right hand, which has already grasped the short sword at his waist, adjusted the best angle, and casually said some vulgar words:

"Beep beep ~"

The out-of-control person froze in place, motionless, and even the screams that could spread spiritual pollution stopped.

Lloyd used [Offensive Language], and the effect was outstanding!

At the same time that the other party was stunned, Lloyd pulled out the short sword at his waist and injected spiritual power, causing a circle of water ripples on the blade.

Then skillfully step forward half a step, turn sideways, bend over, sink your shoulders, and spin your body to tease.

A bright silver arc of light pierced the night, passing by the out-of-control.

A bright red line of blood instantly appeared on the out-of-control person, extending diagonally from the ribs to the shoulders.

With a burst of blood mist, the upper body that had been transformed into a monster slowly slipped to the ground, and the lower body, which barely maintained its human form, slowly knelt down, as if to confess to Lloyd.

Lloyd sheathed his sword and shook his head slowly, a look of slightly disappointed.

"Even if there is no suppression of the sadhana, it is nothing more than that, just this knife is enough to solve the ......"

But as soon as the words fell, he pulled out the short sword again, stabbed the half of the alienated upper body a few times, and then used inspiration to confirm that there were no signs of life at all, and then he was relieved.

Although this kind of out-of-control person who has just fallen has not yet been completely alienated into a monster, and his vitality is not so tenacious, he must not be given the slightest chance of resurrection!

After all, his daily job is to mend the knife.
