Chapter 269 268. Not a surprise

Lloyd closed his eyes in this humble hut for a while, waited until 6 o'clock in the morning, and then returned to the [Realm of Thought] as is customary.

As soon as I entered, I saw that the giant bud had changed significantly.

The size and shape are still the same, there is not much change, but a few buds are split at the top, and they look like they are about to bloom.

Then the original bracts also looked a little fairer, with some lines faintly appearing on them, looking like blood vessels under delicate skin.

Lloyd stared at the bud for a while, and somehow, suddenly felt that it was very beautiful, with a kind of delicate beauty.

It's not about the beauty of flowers, it's about the beauty of girls, and it's heart-pounding......

And this is a subconscious thought of him, which tends to be a certain physiological instinct, not a cranky thought in his head.

Lloyd stared at the bud for a long time, felt his heartbeat and breathing begin to accelerate inexplicably, and quickly came back to his senses and shook his head vigorously.

What's wrong with me? Why do you have such a weird idea about a flower?

Is there really a beautiful girl wrapped in this?

But it's not like there are no beautiful girls around me......

Although he blamed himself and thought wildly in his heart, his feet involuntarily approached slowly, and he slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the bud.

The movements are extraordinarily gentle, as if they are about to take the girl's hand.

Hua Bud also responded to him immediately, and an invisible force turned into a delicate little hand, holding Lloyd's hand, and intimately sticking to the bud.

It made Lloyd feel like a girl was holding her hand and pressing it to her cheek.

This is already a rather intimate move between couples......

But Lloyd didn't seem to be enough, and subconsciously got closer, then lowered his head slightly, and directly touched the bud with his forehead.

This time it seems more intimate.

The bud echoed his thoughts, letting go of an invisible little hand and caressing his cheek like a gentle wife soothing her husband.

Lloyd was stunned, and even wanted to be more daring, kissing directly with his mouth.

Fortunately, there was a series of panel prompts in his ears, so that he would not really make such a curious move.

【Ding~Madness +2000】

【Ding~Madness +2000】

The prompt rang five times, allowing Lloyd to move up a level directly on the spot.

Belch...... Maybe it's because I've been promoted, so there's more mental pollution?

Or is it that I have more intimate interactions, so there is more mental pollution?

Or maybe it's because the buds themselves have changed, so there is more mental pollution?

Another strange series of questions popped into Lloyd's head.

After all, is it because the progress of the unknown fragment has increased?

So when the fragment is finally deciphered, will it bloom and present the most delicate moment?

Maybe a beautiful girl with a super high score will really be revealed, right?

But then again, he has never been able to make a final choice between Wei Ya and Elolo, if there is one more......

Lloyd began to think about it again, then suddenly froze, and shook his head again.

Belch...... Wrong wrong......

Why do I assume that this flower is a beautiful girl?

It's just a [consciousness body] made by myself under the guidance of the Sage, it should be what I want it to be, it's what it is, right?

So considering that if you get involved in the [Manifestation] system in the future, you need to use the power over there to fight, or help you cook and arrange the rituals, you should definitely choose a more practical [Consciousness Body], right?

For example, a super giant robot with cool appearance, complete functions, advanced weapons, and superior performance?

Or a masked man in a tight-fitting leather coat with a special belt around his waist and a locust mask on his head?

You can also choose a stand-in messenger, a pocket beast, a defender of glory, the owner of the refrigerator, and even the seed of the rational type, the dimension is full of ......

No, no, why do you think of beautiful girls again?

What's going on with me today? How can the brain be so messy? Thinking about these things when you're old?

I remember that I have a reserved and introverted innocent young persona?

Lloyd couldn't help but review it in his heart, and began to find the reason again.

Well, these big guys I should know always urge me to get married, which interferes with some of my judgments.

Well, that's how it should be!

After making up for myself, the movement on the bud's side just disappeared, and the inside lost its vitality and vitality, and it no longer looked like a beautiful girl.

Lloyd couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the side again, and found that the tentacle grass was thinking about himself and waving his hand, looking quite happy?

ヽ(○^^)

Probably congratulating yourself on your promotion, right?

Lloyd nodded and encouraged:

"You saw that too, right? This is the reward of my hard work, and you have to work hard to become a project manager as soon as possible. ”

Tentacle grass made a very humane head-scratching posture, probably not understanding what he said.

It's not as smart as a little milk cat if you can't understand the applause......

Lloyd then left the [Thinking Realm] and put the 5 attribute points he had just upgraded on [Reason], with a total value of 235 points.

Then he left the hut where he had been temporarily settled, and went back to the tavern next to him, and found the bartender to find someone to take him away.

The bartender immediately arranged for a subordinate to lead the way, and before Lloyd turned to leave, he boldly said:

"Your Excellency, we will remember your help today, and if you need it in the future, please tell me, and my gang and I will be happy to serve you."

Lloyd was noncommittal, but nodded.

This kind of gray organization, which is all ordinary people, can't help itself.

Maybe when I have time to spend some time and think about coming to study the secrets of the abandoned city, I will consider coming to him, right?

So almost half an hour after Lloyd left, the few remaining drinkers in the bar began to whisper again:

"How do I feel about this guy...... Oh no, it's the gray Inquisitor, who seems to be getting stronger again? Is it my delusion? Although I don't know anything mysterious and transcendental, I have also come into contact with a lot of transcendental people in the dungeon, and I don't have the awe he brings me. ”

"Well, I feel this way too, when he came in just now, I didn't dare to breathe, but he obviously didn't look like he had changed?"

"I'm the same, I feel like I have to keep my head down in front of him, how strange is it? I didn't feel this way when I saw him last night. ”

Only the bartender showed a well-informed look and said:

"Now you understand why I asked you not to talk to him last night, right? It's better for us to stay away from a strong man like this and try not to come into contact with him. ”

But two subordinates expressed different ideas:

"But the boss...... If our gang could have a transcendent like him as a backer, they wouldn't have to stay on it and live a hard life, right? We can also go to the dungeon and grab turf like other gangs! ”

"Yes, yes, if our gang also has transcendentals, there is no need to shrink on this at all, and we can go to bigger business."

But the bartender chose not hesitate to extinguish the expectations of his subordinates:

"You think of the transcendent person too simply, especially a strong man like him, maybe you can borrow his majesty now, but if he encounters some accidents in the future, and then implicates us, do you dare to imagine what kind of fate we will be?"

"Ah......h The boss seems to be saying the same, it's scary to think about......"

"What's more, the dungeon, although it can shelter from the wind and rain, it is definitely not a beautiful paradise, the water in there is too deep, and there is something very dangerous hidden in it......"

"Something very dangerous? Boss, what do you mean ......?"

Faced with the curiosity of the attributes, the bartender looked around to confirm that there were no idlers nearby, etc., before he whispered:

"Actually, I found out a few days ago that the unlucky ones who were killed by ghosts had been to the dungeon not long ago, and it was said that they were hired by a generous gentleman who gave them a large sum of money to help them find something......

I don't know if I've found it, and I don't know what it is, maybe it's an ancestral treasure, right?

Anyway, those unlucky people thought they had made money, but not long after they returned, they were killed by the ghost one after another, and all of them committed suicide, and even more so that all of our people fled, and they were terrified for days......

I think the investigation teams outside should also know about this situation, so they don't dare to interfere, right? ”

"Huh? Turns out this has happened before? Boss, why don't you tell us? ”

"What's the use of telling you? What can you do? ”

"This ...... It seems to be too? But thankfully, the gray inquisitor showed up in time...... Wait, the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, right? Could it be that he had come specially for the generous gentleman and his treasures? ”

"That's right! No wonder I've been wondering why our place would attract such big people, so it makes sense...... That's why you don't want us to have more contact with him, do you? ”

"So you still want to find him as a backer?"

"Don't dare, I don't want to see him again in my life!"

"That's good...... Don't be idle, let's go get our people back. ”

The bartender commanded, and then added very seriously and seriously:

"Remember, don't spread the news of last night, no matter who asks you, they won't know, if you want to live longer, you have to learn to be strict."

Several subordinates nodded vigorously in silence.

……………………

At this time, Lloyd's side, led by a subordinate, had taken the land path, left the abandoned city, and came to a suburb to the west.

Here you can see a large string of chimneys in the distance, hear all kinds of 'ding-dong' movements, and there are railroad tracks for running trains beneath your feet, stretching further into the mountains.

Lloyd recalled a map of the glittering city and realized that he had come to the outskirts of the industrial zone to the southwest.

So the location advantage of this abandoned city is actually quite good, to the west is the new city where the financial center is located, and to the south is the south of the city where Lloyd is mixed, and it is connected to the industrial area.

Many of the people there should be working in the industrial area, and the surplus value is extracted by the capitalists.

Perhaps the reason why it has not been governed for a long time is because there is a desire that the people there will only be able to provide cheap labor.

It is as if the capitalists on the earth treated the workers in the same way in their infancy......

While thinking about these things in his heart, Lloyd walked along the railroad tracks by the side of the road for a while, and soon came across a large church, which was supposed to be the stronghold of the Holy Inquisition.

After revealing his identity, Lloyd was able to take the 'advanced subway' and soon arrived home.

This point was half an hour later than Everol's usual time of going out, and naturally there was no one at home.

I just don't know who combed my sister's hair this morning?

Lloyd then went back to his room, re-equipped the relics he had left at home last night to ensure that the ceremony was not disturbed, and hurried to the 18th district to work.

Unexpectedly, even if it was so late today, Wei Ya was still waiting for her outside.

She looked anxious and kept looking at the pocket watch in her hand.

Lloyd was so moved that he hurriedly pounced.

As a result, as soon as Wei Ya saw him, she asked angrily:

"Why are you so late today?"

Lloyd, however, reached out and hugged her slender waist and took her delicate body into his arms, and said triumphantly:

"Hehe, Wei Ya, have you noticed that I am today different from yesterday's me?"

"Huh?"

Wei Ya was stunned, reached out and pinched his cheek, and touched his chest again.

"It seems to be different...... What are you...... Promoted to the third rank? ”

"Hey, how's it going? Isn't it a surprise? The reason why I didn't tell you what I was doing yesterday was because I wanted to surprise you this morning. ”

Lloyd said with a smirk.

But Wei Ya didn't look surprised, and immediately frowned, and asked:

"Your [detachment] ritual, why is it so fast? Can it be done in one night? Are you using that trick? ”

"yes, I found a weird derivative ......"

Lloyd took the opportunity to talk to Wei Ya about last night.

But before he could say a few words, he found that Wei Ya's face was getting more and more ugly, and it was already tense into a lump of ice.

And a pair of big gray eyes have also become foggy, and tears are gathering momentum.

"Uh...... Wei Ya, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly unhappy? ”

Lloyd hurriedly asked cautiously.

"You...... Did you know that this kind of thing is dangerous? Do you know that this is irresponsible to yourself? ”

Wei Ya said in a crying voice, and then pushed him hard to prevent him from hugging.

Looks like he's really angry......
