Chapter 87 86

"Huh? Priest Marlos, is there something wrong with my process? ”

Lloyd asked rhetorically, a little confused.

His previous series of operations were all based on the experience in the butler's notebook, plus his own on-the-spot judgment.

As a PVP enthusiast, the housekeeper has encountered this kind of situation many times, "the atmosphere is normal one second, and the air is suddenly wrong the next", especially in some scenes where there may be lawbreakers.

Lloyd remembers the exact words in his notebook that went like this:

"These guts don't dare to confront me head-on, they only use intrigue to delay my time, interfere with my judgment, and may have been fooled at first when I was inexperienced, but I quickly summed up four effective lessons for dealing with them-"

"First, these rats rely heavily on divination, but divination is not omnipotent, and it is also time-sensitive, so when investigating a suspicious area, you must develop a good habit of secondary investigation."

"Second, this group of rats can't master too many extraordinary abilities, which is very dangerous for them, so they are also extremely dependent on the ritual, which will be relatively safe, so once they sense that something is wrong, they must first think in the direction of the ritual."

"Third, they always like to bring up some non-existent behind-the-scenes figures to threaten and intimidate, but it's just a bluff, don't be afraid of this, even if there is really a big behind-the-scenes mastermind, that's what the high-ranking powerhouses should worry about."

"Fourth, once the target is locked, you must act blatantly, do not delay, it is likely to cause worse bitter consequences, or be escaped by them, of course, this must be based on the premise of being able to protect yourself."

So he basically dealt with it according to this set of ideas before.

The effect is excellent, the efficiency is extremely high, there is no cause of any trouble, there is only one victim, and the ending is too good to make the peace priest Marlos feel unbelievable, and continues to ask:

"Lord Lloyd, are you really not afraid of being trapped or ambushed by those outlaws?"

"Of course I was scared, so I was vigilant and patient throughout the whole process, and chose a step-by-step strategy."

Lloyd replied confidently.

Priest Maros was speechless for a moment, and could only ask in his heart:

Step by step? Does it mean that it only takes ten minutes to solve a case that often takes hours to solve?

He has been working hard for seven or eight years since he was promoted to a priest, and he has handled nearly 100 cases like this, and he thinks that he still has some experience and understanding of this kind of case.

In cases like this, the normal process is to seal off the scene first and then evacuate the surrounding crowd, which takes a lot of time.

Then they searched the entire building one by one, ascertained the condition of each victim, and if anything was wrong, detained and controlled, which took a lot of time.

In the end, the specific location of the problem is locked, and then the case is handed over to the professionals of the trial court to deal with, which is usually more managed by the Holy Grace Court, and occasionally someone from the Holy Court will take over.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with the Holy Inquisition, whose main duty is to deal with monsters, and this is the first time that Priest Marlos has encountered someone from the Holy Inquisition intervening in this kind of case.

The result is not a standard process at all......

Although that set of standards seems to be slow and inefficient, it also seems very cowardly and unreasonable.

But only those who are really engaged in this business can understand that those seemingly strange details are often summed up with blood and life.

Those insidious, cunning, cruel and vicious lawbreakers cannot be overguarded.

As an experienced cleric, Marlos still clearly remembers that when he was a newcomer, he was negligent during an operation and did not notice that something was wrong with a 'victim'......

Had it not been for the timely arrival of the Holy Grace's support, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

I also heard that a team of men went to investigate an underground warehouse that was wrong, but because of the meritorious service of the clergyman who led the team, he entered with ordinary police officers without the support of the court.

Later, by the time reinforcements arrived, it was too late......

"Anyway...... Although the case should have been properly resolved, if you encounter this situation in the future, it is best to wait for us to come and deal with it, and it is best to follow the standard process. ”

Priest Marlos spoke earnestly.

Although Lloyd was a reckless stunned young man in his eyes, the unique gray uniform and the exquisitely crafted command knife at his waist all showed that this was a genius boy who was highly valued by the Holy Inquisition.

Marlos sincerely hopes that a talented boy like this can show his talent on a broad stage like the Great Pioneer, instead of dying in the machinations of criminals.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll remember."

Lloyd replied seriously.

He could feel the kindness of the other party, although he didn't quite agree with the other party's ideas.

If he moves more slowly, it is difficult to say what will happen to the other victims in the building, including my sister's four subordinates......

There are differences between the housekeeper's thinking and the standard process, but it is not right or wrong, different abilities, different choices.

The two then chatted for a few more words, and then saw the priest who came with him come out of the cubicle, took off the mask on his face, and said:

"After a preliminary autopsy, the deceased died of cardiac arrest, suffering rather terrible mental pain before his death, but his limbs showed no signs of struggle, and he did not suffer any other skin trauma other than his eyes, which I think should be obvious......"

Lloyd recalled for a moment, remembering that he had seen something similar in the butler's notebook, and then asked:

"This seems to be a trick of the [Pain] system?"

Marlos, the Cleric of the Peace, replied with help:

"Yes, the infamous [painful gaze], which affects the victim's nervous system through a unique gaze, causes them to endure extreme pain until their heart stops beating while they cannot struggle but remain awake......"

The priest nodded as well, adding:

"But this ability is difficult to use, and only a pain criminal with a certain level of positioning can master it......"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lloyd and asked:

"Your Excellency, did you notice a gaze on you when you entered here?"

Lloyd nodded hurriedly.

And not just one, but several.

The priest was stunned, and then asked:

"And then? You don't feel anything out of the ordinary? ”

Lloyd shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands again, and replied:

"Some scalp tingling? Feeling unwell? ”

"Ah......h

The priest and priest looked at each other at the same time, and both saw a look of disbelief on each other's faces.

[Painful Gaze] is not only extremely vicious, but also particularly insidious, once hit, you have to endure severe mental pain in the case of losing physical control, which makes it difficult to counteract.

But this ability is not omnipotent, and at the same time, it also needs to bear considerable risks, and it is not the sight that really affects the nerves of others, but the extended inspiration and spiritual power.

This means that they need to extend their inspiration into the victim's body, and then channel the spiritual energy to invade and cause damage.

If you use this trick against a high-ranking powerhouse, let alone make others suffer, you don't know how you died.

Therefore, this ability is often used to bully the weak, especially ordinary people who have little inspiration and spiritual power, and it is extremely vicious.

The priest was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized something, and used the flashlight to shake Lloyd's eyes.

Priest Marlos was also there to help, grabbing Lloyd's shoulder, causing him to be dazzled.

"Are you really okay?"

The pastor put down his flashlight with a puzzled face, and then said apologetically:

"Not offended, just worried about your mental state."

"Is that how you pastors like to make people's eyes shine?"

Lloyd asked with a smile as he rubbed his eyes.

"This is the most effective and intuitive way to detect."

The other party explained.

Just then, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and then a Hunter of Grace wearing his iconic three-cornered hat and cartoon fox mask appeared in front of the door.

"Huh? Lord Lloyd? ”

When the man saw Lloyd, he first greeted him warmly, then leaned closer and shook Lloyd's hand.

"The one you met at the subway gate last time?"

Lloyd couldn't tell the difference between these guys who liked to work with masks, so he could only ask tentatively.

"Yes, I didn't expect to meet here again, can you please cooperate with us to leave a record?"

The hunter made a reasonable request, and then asked one of his men to take Lloyd to the next room to take notes, and he himself entered the chamber with another of his men.

Then it soon came out again and came to the same judgment as the priest.

"It's indeed [Painful Gaze], if nothing else, it's the guy we've been tracking down recently, a backbone member from the illegal association 'Dawn Hermit Society', codenamed 'Phantom Pain', and the most deleted is this vicious trick."

"Does this have anything to do with the [Distortion] you asked me to investigate?"

Priest Marlos asked.

As a front-line vigilante, he has to help and cooperate with the actions of the Holy Court of Grace many times, and he also has some knowledge and right to know about various cases, and he is also an old partner who has cooperated with this fox-faced hunter many times.

"Yes, we have received four anonymous reports from the Holy Grace Court one after another, and after some investigation, we have caught another cadre of the 'Dawn Hermit Society', and then found that they have recently been actively exposed to the knowledge ...... of the taboo system [distorted]"

The hunter said, lowering his voice again, adding:

"According to our further investigation, the Holy Inquisition's side was ruthlessly put on a show by them before, and they lost face, so that they were unwilling to make this matter public."
