Chapter 113 112

Belch......

Lloyd froze in place for two or three seconds, trying to digest the amount of information.

A thing that doesn't know if it's a human or a monster.,Want to sneak attack yourself from behind.,But somehow committed suicide in front of yourself.,And then I actually gained madness and memory fragments or something?

And 500 madness points means that it is eligible to live in a luxurious cell on the 5th floor.

Then why can you talk and commit suicide inexplicably?

Forget it, let's take the book you want first, and go out from this hellish place, anyway, there are a lot of memory fragments obtained, and you should be able to figure out a cause and effect.

Lloyd shook his head, put aside the panel prompts and the extra memory fragments in his mind for a moment, and looked down at the coveted ancient book.

He still didn't rush to get started, but first activated the third ability of [Distorted Realm] to distort the extraordinary abilities of others.

The target was a set of rituals that were obscured under the glass box containing the ancient books.

The strangeness in the air that had led him all the way here at the beginning came from below.

After using inspiration to confirm that there was no more strange feeling in the air, Lloyd couldn't wait to open the glass cover, then stared at the panel in front of him, and reached out to touch the cover of the ancient book.

It felt cold and hard to the touch, like some kind of metal work, but on the outside it looked like a book made of leather.

Just as I was feeling strange, a panel prompt came to my ears:

【Ding~Madness +???? 】

【Please be careful to stay conscious】

The second hint was the first time Lloyd had heard it.

In the next second, he felt that his whole brain was heating and hot, as if his brain was boiling, and a sticky fishy smell poured into his nasal cavity, and he could hardly feel the existence of hearing.

It was immediately dark, and even the vision was deprived, and I could only see the madness value displayed on the panel beating rapidly.

Level 1, Level 2, Level 3......

Lloyd felt as if he had been boiled, and his consciousness was on the verge of a coma.

Without hesitation, he bit the tip of his tongue, the stinging pain and rust smell immediately filled his mouth, and then picked up a matchstick that had been hidden in the palm of his hand, and pierced it into the skin hard, using the pain to keep himself awake.

Fortunately, this 'hot and hot' experience did not last long, and after three seconds, his brain and eardrum began to produce a familiar tingling pain, although the pain was like someone had been punctured with a steel needle, but he was relieved.

Under the stimulation of pain, his consciousness became more awake and gradually stabilized.

After another five seconds, the pain faded away, his vision gradually returned, and a familiar whisper came to his ears.

"Falling into ...... Abyssal ......"

"Touch...... Real ......"

"Hug...... Crazy ......"

"Grace...... Discord ......"

"Face to face...... Chaos ......"

This is the ...... Sanctified ......"

This is the ...... Immortal ......"

This is the ...... The Dominant ......"

This is the ...... The One Who Dominates ......"

"This is the ......"

"The one who ascended to the gods!"

With a burst of whispering, a sea of blood appeared in front of Lloyd's eyes.

I seem to be in it, and I seem to be on it, what should be an endless sea of blood, but it is like a cup of calm black tea.

He was hanging his head and his limbs drooping.

The limbs seem to be frozen and cannot be moved; Consciousness seems to be frozen, unable to function.

I could only watch as the blood-colored ocean began to surge, began to churn, and began to bulge bubbles.

It's like black tea has been boiled.

In the midst of the cascading waves, I saw twisted white tentacles, writhing, jumping, cheering, and praising them.

Their voices were heartbreaking, but they could reach their ears, but they were just a series of whispers in front of them, making them feel sleepy and irritable.

So Lloyd chose to slowly close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the pool of pure water, and in front of him was still the white bone booth, and the ancient leather books displayed in the middle were burning, turning to ashes little by little.

Lloyd did not grieve for a moment the burning of the ancient book, it just changed its way of being, and it remained in the depths of his memory.

It's called The Book of Truth.

This is followed by a small note:

Volume 1

"Whew...... I finally got it, so why did I want this book so much? It's not the new wife in the card pool......"

Lloyd muttered, then shook his head, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth under the mask.

It doesn't matter what the reason is, what matters is that you have already got it.

So let's get out of here first and take stock of the harvest.

Just before leaving, Lloyd took one last look at the white bone booth.

In the middle was a stone backing where the glass cover had been placed, and there was a complex scorch mark on it.

It had been destroyed by the [Twisted Realm], so there was no need to strike a match, and the scorch marks began to wriggle and change.

Lloyd didn't let go of the last bit of mosquito leg, so he reached out and touched it.

[Ding~Madness +1500, Skill Fragment +3]

[Ding~ Enough skill fragments have been obtained, skill upgrade and strengthening, Ritual Rail Control LV1→ Ritual Track Control (Twist) LV2]

This is the last hint Lloyd received, there are still a lot of them ahead, I don't have time to look at them for the time being, let's go out first.

He walked straight to the other side of the grid channel, the direction in which the guy had suddenly drilled out.

At the end of there, there was a heavy hydraulic door, which was ajar, and a sticky smell of blood wafted from the crack in the door.

When I walked in, it looked like a control room, with more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, each with a spiraling horror wound, and the blood flowing out of it almost stained the entire floor red.

Lloyd took a quick glance and found that the corpses were tattooed with a familiar pattern on the back of the head, neck, or the back of the hand.

The motif of the 'Liberal Fashion' association.

So there was a black-eatout-black-eatout-black-eat

Lloyd roughly guessed, but didn't dig too deep, and went back to see the memory fragments.

Since there is a control room, and there are still people in it who can enter, there is naturally a normal way out.

Lloyd quickly found another door and pushed it open, revealing a narrow escalator in front of him.

After climbing the escalator for a while, he pushed open a manhole cover and found himself back near the giant cistern.

The structure here is truly amazing......

"Meow!"

There was a milky cry from the side, and the little milk cat slipped out of the darkness and crawled back to Lloyd.

"Are you alright?"

LOYD SMACKED IT HARD TWICE, THEN ASKED:

"Remember how we got here?"

"Meow Meow ~ Meow Meow!"

The little milk cat waved its little paws and struggled hard in his hands, as if to express something.

Of course, Lloyd didn't understand it, so he put it back on the ground and followed the kitten all the way.

Passing by the entrance to the giant cistern, he glanced inside again.

The unpleasant music was gone, the writhing crowd was silent, and even the colorful neon lights were extinguished, leaving only a pitch black patch, like the open mouth of a giant beast.

Lloyd shook his head, he didn't have time to care about this now, and continued to follow the little milk cat.

He followed the little milk cat all the way, drilled pipes and climbed gangways, and after tossing himself into a dusty face, he actually came to a sewer with a normal painting style?

Next to it is the rushing domestic sewage, which is emitting a pungent stench.

There was another section of escalator not far ahead, and Lloyd hurriedly climbed up it, and then pushed open the manhole cover above his head, and finally saw the light of day again.

Not far from him is the newest tallest and most imposing building in the entire city, with a securities center more than 40 floors high.

I don't know how the little milk cat led the way, but it really detoured?

Cat Navigator?

It was early afternoon, and the pedestrians on the road were pouring in, giving the grizzled Lloyd a puzzled look.

A young man in a suit and leather shoes walked up to him, kindly handed him a tissue, and asked:

"You look like you need help?"

Lloyd didn't reach for it, but straightened the baby-faced mask on his face, and then pointed to the hole at his feet.

"It's better to call the police, or a priest or something."

"Uh...... What's going on down there? ”

"The sewers are clogged."

Lloyd made up an excuse and jumped on a tram that happened to pass by with the kitten and drove away.

……………………

After some tossing and turning, Lloyd returned to his home, hurried into the bathroom, and took the little milk cat to take a bath with him.

Then he collapsed on the sofa, and the little milk cat fell on the windowsill, and the adventure of one man and one cat came to a successful end.

There's a lot of stuff in my head, what should I look at first?

Lloyd hesitated, thinking that it was better to take it step by step and add some first.

It's the aftermath of reading that book......
