71. The action begins
After the presiding judge's explanation, there was a period of intense preparations.
First, the priest of the Order of Joy gathered the people together and blessed them with protection.
"You must overcome difficulties together, support each other, get to know each other, go to the future together, learn to endure suffering, share happiness, and tolerate each other......"
Lloyd frowned as he listened to it, and he always felt that the prayers that came out of this guy's mouth were strange, and there was a kind of indescribable, unserious feeling?
Obviously, this guy looks like he has gray hair and beard, and he looks respectful, but he always gives people a very unreliable feeling......
After a simple ritual, Lloyd suddenly felt an invisible force descend on him, covering his entire body, as if he was draped in an invisible layer of transparent armor, with a feeling of solidity and solidity, but without feeling the slightest substantial weight and touch.
Then, the corners of his mouth opened and he involuntarily laughed 'haha' twice.
MΓ©tis beside him also suddenly let out a 'hee-hee' sneer.
Not only the two of them, but everyone present burst into all kinds of laughter, which suddenly made the very serious atmosphere of the scene a little more lively, and the solemnity that was originally pressed on everyone's hearts became a little lighter.
The unreliable old priest was also smiling, and continued:
That's right, facing danger and difficulty with a smile is the true meaning of happiness; And bringing joy and laughter to others is the true meaning of "shelter". β
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......
simply took advantage of the fact that everyone was gathered together, and went over one by one to see if there were any masters among the teammates.
As a result, when he finished releasing his skills and took a closer look, he couldn't help but shout in his heart, 'Good guy!' β
Except for himself, all of them are in a state of [mild madness], and everyone is a little crazy, making the church like a mental hospital.
It is difficult to say whether the presiding judge deliberately arranged it this way......
As for attributes, the strongest is still Metis -
[Target: Metis]
[Status: Mild insane]
[Rationality: ?? γ
[Spiritual power: ?? γ
[Inspiration: 30]
[Cognition: 38]
[Reason] and [Spiritual Power] are still two values'?? This means that it is higher than Lloyd's current 40 points of [inspiration].
She still has that 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 those scholars from the Holy Court, [Rationality] and [Cognition] are the most prominent, both around 20 points, and the remaining two are much lower, hovering around 10 points.
The remaining four executors were even weaker, with the highest [Reason] and [Inspiration] both around fifteen points, and the other two miserable ones were only in single digits.
Judging from this, the strength of these people present was clearly divided into several grades, and I don't know why the presiding judge made such an arrangement, and he did not explain this before.
Lloyd continued to observe, and saw that the scholars from the Holy Court were busy, opening the boxes they had brought with them, and began to distribute the equipment among the twelve people present.
Not everyone present had to enter the -7th floor of Tower Three, but only four executioners in gray uniforms, four executors in blue uniforms, and four scholars from the Holy Court actually acted.
The rest would stay here and meditate in front of the shield sculpture.
This is also a deployment made by the presiding judge, and the specific reasons and significance are also not explained.
Lloyd quickly got his own.
First of all, a metal mask, the whole body is silver-white, the surface is smooth as a mirror, with a slight curvature, which can be used as a not too exaggerated haha mirror, reflecting a slightly distorted scene.
But there is not even a slit on it, and you will definitely not be able to see anything after wearing it, which is particularly strange.
Then there is a small wooden stick to bite into the mouth, a pair of plasticine-like earplugs, an 'X' pendant, and two flashlight-shaped weapons.
"This is called [Psionic Light Blade], inject some spiritual power into it, and it can form an invisible blade to cut through those things you can't see......"
A scholar of the Holy Court briefly explained the use of the flashlight to Lloyd, and specially reminded him:
"Be careful not to hurt yourself, and don't cut those hard things, and don't inject too much spiritual power...... Anyway, be careful, don't break it, this thing is valuable! β
Lloyd nodded earnestly, picked it up again and tried the feel.
It's like a glow stick, and it feels very bad.
After some intensive preparations, the voice of the presiding judge sounded in everyone's minds again:
"Let's get started."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
With the 'click' of large gears, a heavy iron door slowly rose, and the door to Tower 3 opened, revealing a dim and gloomy scene inside.
A clammy and cold breath suddenly hit the face, mixed with the smell of dust.
It has been closed for a year, no one has cleaned and maintained it, and it is naturally not as clean and tidy as other towers, and it was even more urgent when the evacuation was made, and you can see all kinds of paper and debris scattered on the ground.
Fortunately, there were no other anomalies or smells, and Lloyd did not receive a panel prompt indicating that the mental pollution here was not as serious as previously thought.
This made him a little disappointed, and he originally thought that he would be able to move up several levels this time......
"Heh~ It seems that your No. 3 tower was really embarrassed at the beginning."
The triangular eyed, grim-looking executioner sneered, glanced at the other executioner who looked like a farmer beside him, and was the first to enter the tower.
A scholar behind him reminded:
"The electricity should be preserved, let's go restore it first."
As he spoke, he carried a silver-white suitcase and followed in.
The presiding judge demanded that the team of twelve must act in unison, so the group had to find the power distribution room first, and as the power switch closed, the lights re-illuminated the interior of the tower, dispelling the original darkness.
"After you enter the elevator, you can no longer hear my voice, so I remind you one last time, don't think too much, don't ask too much, and strictly follow the schedule."
The presiding judge continued, pausing slightly, and then a voice sounded in Lloyd's head:
"Whatever you find in that cell, don't hesitate to keep that in mind."
Lloyd pursed his lips and nodded, not knowing if the presiding judge could see it.
