Chapter 81 80. This should not be a coincidence (the fourth more asks for subscriptions)

Lloyd stood up abruptly, launched [Probe] again, and looked at the sobbing woman in front of him.

Sure enough, it was already a state of [mild madness]......

The four attributes are only a pitiful 1 point, which is weaker than ordinary people, so the symptoms they show are more serious than those of Weiya and Métis.

Lloyd was thinking about whether to contact the mental hospital when an uncle dressed as a chef suddenly rushed in from outside, grabbed him by the arm, and pulled him out the door.

Lloyd followed him out, and heard the cook sigh and shake his head.

"Alas...... You're her husband's colleague, right? ”

"Hmm...... At last. ”

"Then for her husband's sake, don't come to visit her again, don't bring her any news, just let her keep the status quo, with the help of our neighbors, she can still live like an ordinary person."

"This ...... What about their husbands and wives' relatives and friends? ”

"Alas......"

The chef just sighed and didn't answer directly.

Lloyd then asked:

"Then do you want to take her to a mental hospital?"

"We tried, but it was there that she lost her two children......"

The chef said, with a helpless wry smile, and explained:

"Actually, her symptoms are not as serious as you think, and she knew the bad news very early, she just used this way to keep herself alive after losing everything...... You see, she takes good care of herself and runs the flower shop very well. ”

Lloyd turned his head to look at Mrs. Anna in the flower shop, and found that she had stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and began to hold the swaddling body again, singing nursery rhymes softly, continuing her imagination and going on with her life.

"I see, I won't bother her again."

Lloyd nodded vigorously.

Then I went to the corner and found a post office, bought an envelope and a stamp, filled it out in a proper way, and stuffed the check in.

The rest of the letter and the black knight, let's keep it for myself......

Lloyd then went to the side of the road to find a newsboy, gave him a tip, and watched as the newsboy delivered the letter to Mrs. Anna.

"Wow! Look, baby, Dad is sending money back! There was a lot of money, and Dad really didn't forget us......"

Mrs. Anna said happily and smiled happily.

Even if it's fake, it's what she needs.

Lloyd left silently.

When he walked out of the subway hole in the 18th district, he found that Wei Ya was not waiting for him outside.

After all, today is half an hour behind usual......

Lloyd could understand it, but there was still an inexplicable feeling of emptiness in his heart.

It's weird......

But when he came to Tower No. 9, he saw Wei Ya standing in front of the office door, constantly looking at the door.

Somehow, Lloyd couldn't help but laugh again.

He hurriedly approached and took the initiative to take out the little milk cat and stuff it into Wei Ya's hand.

But Wei Ya said a little upright:

"I thought you wouldn't be here today, after all, you have carried out an important mission, and you should have an extra day off."

Lloyd still smiled and said:

"If I want to rest, I will tell you in advance...... By the way, with my current rank, can I access the personnel files of the 18th District? ”

"If you can access some of them, you can't go beyond your rank, and you have to go to the archives management office on the side of Tower One......"

Wei Ya first said businesslikely, and then suddenly realized something, stared at Lloyd with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and asked very seriously:

"You don't have any dangerous thoughts, do you?"

"How is that possible? I have always been a patient and cautious young man. ”

Lloyd said, but involuntarily looked away from Wei Ya's office.

As a result, I happened to see her neatly organized desk, and there was an extra small toy that affected the neatness-

A simple spring toy, with a stick figure cartoon bear, made of simple and crude.

So Lloyd looked at Wei Ya's beautiful eyes again, and added seriously:

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't mess around."

……………………

After separating from Wei Ya, Lloyd still completed his job first according to the usual practice.

It's late today, the keys to the -2nd floor have been snatched up, and there is only a lone -3rd floor left on the notice board.

Lloyd didn't dislike it, so he took it off and left.

【Ding~Madness +300】

When he was done, he went to the archives management office mentioned by Wei Ya, found the administrator, and asked for access to the file of the executor, Stillott.

The result was actually very smooth?

He was just not allowed to take it away, so he could only check it here.

But Lloyd read through a few pages of the file, but he couldn't find what he needed.

It only has a biography of Stillott, as well as a brief record of his missions and system promotions.

The final record stayed at the step of applying for the ritual materials for the promotion of the third order to the fourth order.

And then there is a cold sentence:

"It has been determined that it is missing, and bereavement benefits have been issued to relatives."

Mind Monsters, damn it!

Lloyd gritted his teeth in his heart.

Perhaps he is the only one left in this world who still remembers this respectable executioner......

As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt something strange in his pocket.

He hurriedly left the archives management office, walked back to his office, and reached out to find the black knight.

Found that the spirituality above is suddenly a little stronger than yesterday?

Normally, spirituality only gets weaker and weaker, and sudden strengthening is very rare.

This reminded Lloyd of his sister's hammerhead shark puppet.

Most of the time, it's just a regular puppet.

Only when Lloyd uses [Medium Divination] can he exude a little spirituality.

So...... The Black Knight is actually a divination medium? The 'straw' that Stillott wants to leave to himself is not the chess piece itself, but the person behind the divination?

But why didn't Stillot say it directly? Instead choose to leave a riddle?

And this guy who is doing divination, if it is a friend or relative of Stillott, he can visit him directly, why should he use such a subtle method of divination?

Even if the other party's thinking is the same as his own, and he wants to pay attention to the situation of others at any time through divination, but Stillot has been missing for a year, and he must have reached a conclusion a long time ago, so there is no reason to be just in time for today, right?

This obviously cannot be a coincidence......

Lloyd vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't grasp a specific 'thread'.

So that's the case......

Lloyd rushed to the library, found a few books related to occultism, and focused on divination-related knowledge.

He remembered that media divination could be either forward or backward, traced back to who was doing it.

Relying on [Efficient Learning] and high [Cognitive] values, Lloyd spent a few hours memorizing the [Reverse Divination] method and obtaining several corresponding skill fragments.

But obviously he didn't fully grasp it, he didn't know the essentials yet, and the corresponding [divination] skill hadn't been upgraded, so he stopped, looking a little shallow.

But that's exactly what he wants.

Lloyd returned to his office, locked the door, and respectfully pulled the statue out of the filing cabinet and placed it in front of his desk.

Then he took out the notes given by the butler and reviewed the part about divination.

Butler Randolph, as a master of the PVP department, is of course also proficient in divination, and has punished several outlaws with this skill.

And also summed up the three principles of safe divination -

One is that it must be carried out under the witness and protection of the sage, so as to avoid divination to the greatest extent possible from those inexplicable things.

The second is to be patient enough, not to be in a hurry, at the beginning, first use the simplest and most basic divination method, ask some simple questions that do not have a clear direction, confirm that there is no danger, and then go deeper a little bit, and finally lock a clear goal.

This process takes at least a day, and if you meet someone who is very cunning and will guard against divination, it may be even slower, and it will take several days.

The third is that you must not be reckless, do not force the search for results, and once you do not get an answer to each divination, or show a dangerous omen, then immediately give up divination and look for other methods.

Through these three principles, the steward's reverence and caution for divination can be clearly felt.

Therefore, Lloyd directly did not finish learning [Reverse Divination], and let it maintain a simple and basic state, so he began to try.

He placed the black knight in front of the statue of the Sage, and then, according to the knowledge taught in the book, he shook the quaint pocket watch and kept asking:

"Is this a divination medium? Is this a divination medium? ”

If the results are obtained, the pocket watch will take on a physics-defying phenomenon, hovering diagonally to the left or right of the black knight to indicate 'yes' or 'no'.

However, the pocket watch finally hovered in the middle, failing to wake the sages of physics out of their coffins.

This indicates that the divination was fruitless.

It could be that Lloyd was not a good learner, or maybe it was something else......

Although he was a little reluctant, Lloyd still chose to follow the butler's 'advice' and gave up.

The butler was so high-spirited and arrogant when he was young, and he was so careful and cautious in his approach to divination, and of course Lloyd would not be reckless.

I just don't know what the other side can know through divination......

For the sake of security and privacy, to prevent someone from opening the box inexplicably, Lloyd made the most cautious choice -

He wrote an anonymous letter, briefly stating that someone was using this thing to monitor an executioner of the Holy Inquisition, and then sent it to the Holy Court along with the Black Knight.

In this way, no matter who divination is behind it, it has nothing to do with him, so it should put an end to this matter completely, right?
