85. Easy to get
Chapter 86 85
The 'antique' shop didn't look very professional, and Lloyd didn't find any ritual arrangements in it, and he didn't see anyone inside.
He wanted to gather his inspiration and be ready to activate the [Twisted Realm] at any time, and then slowly walked in.
There are all kinds of carving and processing equipment inside, raw materials such as clay and wooden piles are stacked in the corner, and a display cabinet is placed against the wall, in which there are several old 'antiques', all of which are tattered bottles and cans, which should be just samples.
More of them are semi-finished products thrown on the ground, Lloyd took a general look, some are pottery sculptures, some are wood carvings, it seems to be a unified theme, all of them are exaggerated expressions, abstract human faces, looking very postmodern art.
But none of them carved out a complete face, or there were no eyes, only a blank and numb background; Either they have no brains or mouths, only a pair of round eyes, and there is an indescribable weirdness when they look at it.
If you see too much of this kind of thing, it will reduce the aesthetic level......
Lloyd shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
Looking around, he didn't find anything particularly eye-catching, and was hesitating to turn on the spiritual vision to take a look, but the little milk cat above his head suddenly barked twice.
"Meow!"
Then he waved his little claws at a display case.
Lloyd hurriedly approached, looked closely, and found that there were unusually pulleys under this display case?
He hurriedly tried to push it open, revealing a dirty wooden door behind him.
The door was not locked, and there was no need to lock it, for it was so rotten and dilapidated that it was so airy that it was stained with all kinds of earthy yellow handprints.
"This ...... It seems like a cubicle in every room, right? There is also a utility room like this in my sister's editorial office, but why should I block it? β
Lloyd asked in a low voice, reaching out and pushing the door.
The door shattered into a pile of wood as if it had finally been overwhelmed, and then exploded further, spraying strands of hair-like wood chips in an attempt to cling to Lloyd.
Fortunately, Lloyd's movements were faster, he first took a step back, and without hesitation, he opened the [Distorted Realm], and the spiritual power in his body gushed out.
The wisps of wood were all suspended in mid-air, and then suddenly twisted and spun, shattering into smaller pieces of wood that scattered in all directions, no longer threatening or useful.
This is the new function obtained by [Twisted Realm] when it is upgraded to LV4, which distorts the extraordinary abilities of others.
You don't need to be face-to-face, others can stay; It doesn't take much knowledge and understanding, as long as the spiritual power is stronger than others, it can take effect.
Still as domineering and unreasonable as ever......
After solving the small trap on the wooden door, Lloyd walked inside.
Inside, there was a narrow cubicle with a workbench that was poorly ventilated, illuminated only by a kerosene lamp on it.
A middle-aged man in his thirties was sitting at a table, head bowed, motionless, completely unaware of Lloyd's visit.
Lloyd approached and didn't bother him, just turned his head to look.
The man's eye socket was only a pair of empty bloody holes, two lines of bloody tears dripped down his cheeks and left on the ground, his hands hung weakly at his sides, and two bloody eyeballs were pinched in his palms, and there were still a few wisps of blood vessels and nerve bundles on them.
He had stopped breathing, but a relieved smile appeared on his lips, revealing a few bloodshot teeth.
On that workbench, all kinds of clay and wood were piled up, all carved into various eyes, revealing all kinds of eyes, densely stacked together.
Obviously looking in different directions, but Lloyd felt that they were all staring at him, which made him feel like his scalp was tingling.
Then he drew his dagger and swept it to help clean up the table.
The eyeballs, either clay or wood, were suddenly scattered to the ground, blending into the darkness of the floor, but they were still projecting a line of sight, looking at Lloyd, a rude uninvited guest, as if to imprint his figure on the retina.
"Who to scare?"
Lloyd smiled disdainfully, took another half step forward, moved closer to the workbench, and looked down at the pattern engraved on itβ
A huge eyeball, which occupies almost the entire table, the lines and composition are not complicated, they can only be regarded as symbolic stick figures, but they seem to be alive, looking up at Lloyd's face.
Lloyd poured more spiritual power into the dagger and unceremoniously slashed.
The lines on the table suddenly began to twist and tremble, and even a terrible scream could be faintly heard.
After about a few seconds, the lines that had been deeply deepened magically disappeared, and only fresh scratches remained on the table.
The eyeballs scattered on the ground also dimmed in an instant, and there was no longer the previous sense of staring.
Lloyd cautiously let out a little inspiration and checked the atmosphere in the air.
Safe!
"That's it."
Lloyd closed the [Twisted Realm] and walked out of the compartment, just in time to hear a series of yawns and doubts floating from next door:
"Huhu~ I slept comfortably this night, hehe, I actually dreamed of her......"
"Huh? So you were dreaming? I thought the typewriter had learned to write the plan on its own......"
"Damn! I dreamed that I had paid off the loan, why did I wake up all of a sudden? β
Lloyd passed by the door of the other office and [probed] by the way.
The attributes are very ordinary, and the mental state is very healthy.
It seems that this incident did not have a big impact?
The affected people just took a nap and had a sweet dream?
Just then, he heard a noise on the street outside, including his sister's voice:
"Mr. Priest, Mr. Policeman, please hurry, I'm worried that my brother is in danger."
Everol got help, but only a little slower.
No, it's only been ten minutes later, and it should be that Lloyd's movements are too fast.
Next, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs in the small building, and all the unrelated personnel were evacuated by the police first, and the separation line was closed, leaving only a priest and a priest in the building, plus Lloyd, and the three of them discussed the case while waiting for the 'professional' in charge of this kind of incident to come over.
Lloyd briefly recounted his fate and speculation, and the priest on the other side frowned.
"Uh...... It's not that I'm questioning your judgment, but judging from the scene...... The situation should not be as rosy as you described, right? Just walked straight in and destroyed the ritual with the psionic blade, and the problem was solved? β
I'm sorry, there's something going on today, and the second chapter is a little late.
