Chapter 276 275

It is said to be a storage area, but in fact there is no specific warehouse, just a simple stack of all kinds of freshly cut logs together, built into a high hill.

The original ground was completely covered with scattered bark and all kinds of debris, and there was a strange softness, unevenness, ups and downs, and from time to time there would be a 'click' sound, as if something had been broken.

Lloyd only took a few casual steps, and felt like he was standing on a pile of black flesh.

There was an indescribable smell in the air, like the stench of corruption.

There was no one around, only the sound of sawing wood could be heard from afar.

Lloyd walked cautiously in the piles of logs, and his mind was constantly pondering.

I didn't think that the problem was still on the side of the lumberyard?

And it's so hidden, if you don't have a reminder from the panel, you can't detect it at all.

Fortunately, I was involved, otherwise it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice such low-intensity and low-frequency spiritual pollution, let alone transcendental, it would be almost impossible to detect.

Lloyd pondered like this while continuing to explore in the direction of inspiration.

Suddenly, his inspiration sensed some movement behind him, and he quickly hid behind a pile of logs.

Looking back, with the help of inspirational perspective, I saw two workers dragging two large snakeskin sacks into the storage area.

The two of them looked serious and didn't say a word, as if expressing the hard work of their work.

The snakeskin sack behind him was even heavier, and it could only be dragged on the ground, making a swishing sound.

Looks like you're just here to stock up?

Lloyd thought about it, reached out and touched his chest, confirmed that he was wearing the little vest, and then launched the [Enhanced Exploration] and glanced at the attribute status of these two people.

It turned out to surprise him slightly.

It's already a [moderately insane] mental state?

This should be done in a psychiatric hospital......

As for attributes, [Rationality], [Spiritual Power], and [Cognition] are all very low, which is the single digit of ordinary people, but the [Inspiration] item is actually around 20 points?

What kind of weird attribute is this?

Mentally ill people have a wide range of thinking, so [inspiration] is high?

As for the system and the degree of threat, they are all blank, which means that they are just ordinary people and have no danger to themselves.

And the value of this [inspiration] is also within the coverage of the little vest, and I am a stranger who I don't know them at all, so I meet the conditions of 'being out of the world'.

So Lloyd tried to get out from behind the pile.

One of the workers seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look in Lloyd's direction.

But in his field of vision, it was so empty that he couldn't even see a figure, so he scratched his head and continued to walk deeper into the storage area.

Lloyd nodded secretly, then touched the men's square ring on his finger a few times, activated the effect of the [Pupil of Wisdom], made the world a little more colorful, and then quietly followed.

Under the various dyes of the [Pupil of Wisdom], Lloyd could see that these workers were covered with a dull dead gray, instead of the vibrant light green of ordinary people, which looked lifeless.

As for the snakeskin sack they dragged in their hands, it exuded a strange dark red, which looked strange and evil.

This is clearly problematic......

But I don't know what it has to do with that father who loves to dig graves?

Suspicious, Lloyd kept his distance from the two workers and quietly followed for a few minutes to the deeper part of the storage area.

Until the two workers came to an open area surrounded by several large piles of logs, and then their figures shrank slightly, and they disappeared directly.

And the faint spiritual pollution that Lloyd felt came from the area where the two disappeared.

The two ordinary people disappeared like this, could it be that there was some kind of spatial portal hidden here?

Lloyd didn't dare to approach the past directly, and could only use inspiration to test repeatedly, but apart from that faint spiritual pollution, he didn't notice anything.

You'll need to get in touch with all three of my teammates!

Lloyd did not choose to take risks alone, but chose to shake people more safely.

After all, according to the experience taught by the butler in that PVP manual, the three indicators that PVP has the greatest impact on victory and defeat are rank, number, and equipment.

If you want to match people, you can either be crushed by rank, or you can shake people together, or you can be 'six-grid god suit'.

He has never engaged in any 'fair competition', 'equal duel', this kind of PVP activity involving human life is to crush the game.

It's just that Lloyd can't contact his three temporary teammates right now, and they should still be wandering around the woods.

We can only wait until seven o'clock in the evening, after everyone has gathered.

Lloyd then took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and the time was almost six o'clock in front of him, so he didn't need to wait too long.

So he took advantage of the vest's 'stay in the world' effect to inspect other areas here, as well as an entire lumber yard, and threw people over when he saw them.

As a result, there were no accidents and no accidents.

Not surprisingly, except for the place where the two workers suddenly disappeared, there were no problems in the other areas.

The lumberyard must have been inspected by three investigators, none of whom found anything out of the ordinary, and neither did Lloyd.

But what is surprising is that almost all the workers here are in the state of ordinary people, but [inspiration] is particularly prominent.

And all of them are in [moderate madness], and all of them are haunted by that dull dead gray.

It looks even weirder than a mental hospital......

But what's even more bizarre is that they can still work like normal workers, except for not saying a word, there is no sign of mental illness in their behavior at all.

So maybe it's not the father who digs graves, but the workers here, the other residents of the small mountain village?

A bold guess popped up in Lloyd's mind.

Could it be that in the early stage of the incident, the grave keeper who suddenly disappeared and the hot-blooded young man who tried to dissuade the father were not killed by the father, but were killed by these people?

It is even very likely that these three people are the only three normal people left in this village......

And the descriptions of the events I heard were all rumors made up by these crazy villagers in order to eliminate dissidents?

The villagers killed two normal people, what might the remaining father rely on, and the villagers couldn't help him for the time being, so they turned around and spread rumors and called the police, trying to solve this last one with the help of external forces?

Lloyd thought for a moment, and then thought of another unfolding.

Of course, it may be that my guess is completely opposite, maybe that father is indeed powerful and has controlled the villagers here by some means?

But there is no way to explain the rumors that have spread, if the suspect really has such ability, there is no reason to attract outside forces to target him.

By the way, what about the Director?

He must know something, right?

But why can't you see people?

Lloyd found that he had walked around the lumberyard and had not found the polite supervisor he had been looking for.

When he was thinking about this person, he suddenly found that two villagers not far away from him had inexplicably dropped the work in their hands, and then picked up a logging axe and chain saw, and walked directly to the outer forest area.

But they didn't say a word, no one called them, and they didn't discuss what they were going to do.

Won't it ......

Lloyd hurriedly and quietly followed, walking in the direction chosen by the previous scholar Contin.

Then, he didn't go far before his inspiration sensed a stirring aura in the air, the movement of the transcendent's ability to unleash.

There were also a few more splashes of pale blue in front of me.

After walking in that direction for a while, I heard someone talking.

"Please give up resistance, it is impossible for your friends to come to help you, they are afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves now, and the [Salvation] system you are in is actually not very suitable for this kind of one-on-one battle, it cannot be my opponent......

Of course, I will never harm your life, as I promised before. ”

Could it be the director Lloyd was looking for talking?

Then he heard an angry scolding from the scholar Kangding:

"Hehe, fuck you, don't think that [Redemption] is easy to bully!"

As soon as the words fell, Lloyd suddenly felt that the spiritual power fluctuations in the air became turbulent and violent.

But the supervisor still said calmly:

"Oh? Is it the intention of using your own life to [atone] for my sins? Alas...... It's a shame, why can't we understand it? Reason is only a cage that binds us, and cognition is only a shackle that hinders us......

This is not some sinful karma, but the future we should move towards and the destiny of our human beings.

You might as well join us in embracing madness and following greatness! ”

Unfortunately, in response to him, a gunshot rang out.

The scholar Contin, who was standing across from him, looked like his skin was red and hot, as if a fire had been ignited in his body, burning himself.

He held an old flintlock pistol in his hand, the whole of which was covered in a layer of orange-red flames, and the bullets that erupted from it, also burning, were being guided by Contin's inspiration to fly towards the head of the director opposite.

But the director just smiled evilly, and casually stretched out two fingers to catch the high-speed flying bullet.

"As I said, your attacks pose no threat to me, and true power can only be gained by embracing madness and following greatness!"

As he spoke, with a slight force on his fingers, the projectile shattered into a cloud of debris.

Neither the kinetic energy of the bullet itself, nor the flames burning on it, could cause him the slightest damage.

On the other side, Kangding's face suddenly became extremely ugly......

But what is a little strange is that the supervisor, who obviously occupies the absolute initiative, suddenly became extremely ugly......

"Uh...... Wait a minute...... It's ......"

The Director felt his gaze suddenly flicker, and then saw the scholar Contin's figure swell suddenly.

And then it turned into a monster that was eight meters tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and was covered in lumpy muscles?
