72. It's going well
As the elevator moved, the team headed towards Level -7, where Lloyd made preparations.
First, he bit the small wooden stick in his mouth, so that he couldn't open his mouth; I stuffed the earplugs in my ears again, and I couldn't hear anything, and finally put on the metal mask, and my eyes suddenly went dark, except for the projections left by the presiding judge.
The projected pocket watch continued to move around for only 30 minutes.
Lloyd then wrapped the chain of the 'X' pendant around his left hand and held the pendant tightly in the palm of his hand.
The vision in front of me suddenly opened up, and I could see things again.
But everything was only a vague outline of black and white, barely visible, but you could see through the elevator wall to the view of the steel cables and the gears in motion.
This indicates that he has entered a special state of vision.
To be precise, he was sharing the vision of another executor behind him.
This is the plan of action deployed by the presiding judge, allowing the four executioners to enter the cell without seeing, hearing, or speaking, and be responsible for the execution;
Let four executors of [Reason] and [Inspiration] be prominent to share their vision with them, three of whom are survivors of the previous library attacks;
The remaining four scholars carried four [holy relics] brought out from the Holy Court, that is, the contents of the silver suitcase, to help everyone stabilize their minds and resist spiritual pollution.
It looks very thoughtful, but it also makes people care more, what kind of monster needs to use such a complex plan to deal with?
Lloyd didn't know if this trip was an opportunity or a risk......
As he pondered, he heard the executor's voice drift into his ears, and he spoke:
"Whew~ I'm so nervous...... What's your name? How many times did I remember meeting you in the library before? โ
"Lloyd."
The two were in a state of consciousness exchange, and others couldn't hear it, otherwise Lloyd would not be able to speak while biting the stick.
"Okay, Koho, my name is Aiden, and I'm glad to partner with you...... Did I tell you about a girlfriend I just had? โ
Lloyd was speechless by him......
This kind of pairing...... Wouldn't it be too unscored?
There are indeed some people who are used to chatting to relieve themselves when they are very nervous, and Lloyd can understand this.
But how can anyone talk about a new girlfriend when you open your mouth?
Didn't you say that the presiding judge valued himself? How did you arrange such a partner for yourself?
was complaining in his heart, and the elevator paused and stopped.
-7th floor arrived.
One of the leading scholars stopped at the elevator door first, adjusted the monocle in his left eye, and after two seconds, he nodded and said:
"The situation is quite optimistic, the rituals here are still working, let's go, let's deploy the holy relics first, we are very short on time."
As he spoke, he kept saying, 'Don't think too much, don't ask too much', and walked out of the elevator first.
Lloyd and others followed.
As soon as he stepped inside, Lloyd felt a spiritual pollution that seemed to be in the water, making him feel as if he had entered water, and his gestures became a little heavier.
Under the effect of the shared vision, he could even see two forces colliding and rubbing in the air, and it should be the blessing of [Shelter] that was at work.
There are endless prompts in my ears:
ใDing~Madness +50ใ
ใDing~Madness +50ใ
It seems that the level of mental pollution in the air is about the same as when he was dealing with the giant of Danger 6.
But this time, there is the suppression of the ritual, the resistance of [Shelter], and the careful deployment......
Maybe this is a monster with a danger level of 7?
Lloyd then looked around under the gaze of others.
It was arranged as a circular hall rather than an ordinary corridor, with an unspeakable mass in the middle and several cells arranged around it.
Lloyd didn't know if it was the nature of the thing or the influence of his vision, but he had searched through the memories of two lives in his head, but he couldn't find the right words to describe the shape, not even a basic metaphor.
But this unspeakable mass was not his goal, but the core component of the sadhana here.
I saw that the four scholars lowered their heads and quickly ran in the four directions of the object, and then opened the silver suitcase and took out a few syringes from it, which were filled with a stream of dark green potion.
Then, at the same time, they inserted the needle into the indescribable lump, and slowly pushed it, injecting the potion little by little.
The prompt in Lloyd's ear immediately changed:
ใDing~Madness +30ใ
Mental pollution in the air is weakening.
By the 16-minute markdown, Lloyd would only get a +5+5 hint.
It was time for their executioners to act.
Lloyd hurriedly ran to cell 704, which he was in charge of.
There's a humanoid creature imprisoned in here?
Under the effect of vision, Lloyd could not see the specific details of this thing, and could only see a black and white humanoid silhouette, half-kneeling on the ground, looking dejected.
As soon as he sensed someone coming in, the humanoid creature quickly raised its head and said in a weak and hoarse voice:
"Finally...... The relief I have been waiting for for a long time...... Are you here......"
He spoke the language of mankind?
Even with a palpable impatience.
Even though Lloyd's ears were stuffed to death, he still heard these words......
"Kill me...... No matter who you are...... Kill me, don't hesitate...... I can still get ...... for you 30 seconds of time ......"
The half-kneeling figure continued to speak, with a bit of bitterness in his tone:
"No...... You can't hear what I'm saying......"
"But what if...... If you hear me, and make it out alive in the end, remember to go to 8 Champagne Avenue in Xicheng District and find locker 611, which may save your life......"
Lloyd listened silently, did not answer, but followed the presiding judge's arrangement, watched the countdown to 15 minutes, took out the 'flashlight' he had just received, and injected spiritual power into it.
The 'flashlight' suddenly appeared with a stick figure-like blade.
Without hesitation, Lloyd swung his knife and slashed neatly at the figure's neck.
A head flew high, and the rest of the body fell limply to the ground.
Lloyd hurried up, made up for a few cuts, and then turned and walked away, stuck in the allotted thirty seconds.
Whew~ All the best.
He sighed to himself.
But just as he was about to step out of the cell, his eyes suddenly went black, and he couldn't even see the black and white scene.
Then I heard someone say:
"That's ...... Going? โ
