Chapter 277 276. Fragments of memories that are difficult to look at directly

"Ah......h How can it be? Are you still involved in the Pain system? ”

The director of the lumberyard looked at the scholar who had suddenly transformed into a muscular monster, and he was also a little confused for a while.

In his eyes, the scholar Condin was like a small building several stories high, full of solid muscles that could withstand guns, covering his intimate parts only with an apron covered with blood and oil, twisting a bloody pig-killing knife in one hand, and twisting a meat hook wearing a stump and broken arm and various internal organs in the other.

The director felt like a weak little piglet in front of the other party, hanging on the meat hook......

But even the ability of the [Pain] system is not so tall and strong, right?

And why is it dressed like this? Looks like a butcher killing a pig?

The director was slightly stunned, as if he had sensed something.

"So it's the power of [Intelligence]? Want to interfere with my vision? ”

The director felt that he had seen through the other party's tricks, and immediately put away the fear and fear on his face.

"But the little trick of the [intellectual] department, it's not a big deal, for me, who has abandoned reason and embraced madness, these vain illusions are just clowns' juggling, hehe, I won't be easily frightened."

With that, he heard a few more low-level whispers pouring into his ears from somewhere, like the mountain-like muscular monster in front of him communicating with him.

Although he couldn't understand what these words meant, he could vaguely feel that the other side was swearing.

It doesn't matter, this is still a little trick of the [Intellectual] Department, and it is impossible to have a ...... for yourself

The Director was speaking confidently as he whispered in his ears as the murmuring suddenly increased, as if something had exploded in his ears.

Then, a 'buzzing' tinnitus began to ring in his ears, followed by a sharp pain that almost made him faint on the spot, as if several red-hot steel needles were repeatedly piercing his eardrums.

But before the director could scream, he felt a more intense and clear pain in his brain, as if his Heavenly Spirit Cover had been pried open, and then a large number of messy things were forcibly stuffed into his brain.

Just in such an instant, he lost control of his body, and he couldn't even scream, so he could only stay where he was, silently suffering from severe pain, and then watched a lot of messy things appear in front of him.

What is the memory of bullshit between husband and wife, what is the inexplicable knowledge of art identification, and what is the professional skill of how to make ash and set off the line to pull the tape measure.

This large pile of messy things tilted into the director's brain, causing his brain to instantly become a mess, completely burying his thoughts and consciousness into these garbage heaps.

Then, his body collapsed limply, green tendons began to bulge on his skin, and his limbs and flesh began to twist and roll involuntarily, alienating in the direction of the monster.

This is a typical symptom of an uncontrolled depravity.

The scholar Kangding also froze in place, wisps of black blood kept oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his body was also staggering, almost unsteady.

Although the injuries and burdens in his body are heavy, his mind is very clear, but he doesn't know what happened.

Just a few seconds ago, scholar Kang Ding watched the [Condemnation] and [Cleansing] that he forcibly launched with his life, and after the other party only took it with two fingers, he was actually mentally ready to sacrifice.

Or rather, he remembers the mental preparation he had made a long time ago.

After all, a veteran investigator who has been in the industry for 20 years, if he didn't have the consciousness of sacrifice, he wouldn't have been able to do it for so long.

It's just that he didn't die in an abnormal event, but was brutally murdered by cultists, and he was somewhat unwilling......

But what Kangding didn't expect was that the plot suddenly ushered in a wave of peaks and turns?

The supervisor who could have killed him casually suddenly froze in place, his expression changed drastically, and he said something he couldn't understand about the [Pain] system.

Then he heard a voice from behind the Director:

"In the name of veto!"

Then, I saw this invincible cultist slowly kneeling on the ground and began to alienate in the direction of the monster.

The expression on his face was fixed on a calm and calm expression, no struggle, no pain, no crying, no seeming to notice the changes in his body at all, and he accepted his end calmly.

This suddenly made Kang Ding feel an indescribable weirdness, and his scalp tingled.

Then he saw the young Inquisition's executioner, Lloyd, emerge from behind a tree and ask himself:

"Are you alright?"

Condin did not answer.

Because he didn't know how to answer......

Or rather, I don't know whether to answer or not......

Then he saw Lloyd pull out the ornate and ostentatious new pistol from his waist and point it at the director on the ground who was degenerating into a monster.

Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~

After three shots, Konding looked at the bullets that landed at his feet and seemed to understand something......

He immediately collapsed weakly to the ground, gritted his teeth and said:

"Unexpected...... You're actually with them? ”

"Ah......h No, the rifling of this gun is a bit problematic, it is not calibrated properly, so it is a little off......"

Lloyd hurriedly explained awkwardly, reluctantly put away the revolver, drew the short sword at his waist, and stabbed the supervisor on the ground a few times, helping him stop the process of alienation and degeneration.

【Ding~Madness +500】

【Ding~Memory Fragment +1】

【Ding~Knowledge Fragment +3】

【Ding~Skill Fragment +3】

Instead of fragments, it's 'memory fragments' that you start with?

Lloyd felt that there was a lot more in his mind, but he didn't rush to check it, but looked at the scholar Contin, and asked:

"How's it going? I see you've been vomiting blood......"

"Whew...... At least he is alive and conscious. ”

Condin probably sensed that Lloyd was indeed not hostile, and the previous three shots were indeed missed, so he also let down his guard, sat on the ground and let out a few big breaths, and then took out a tube of light blue potion from his arms and poured it into his mouth.

Then he scolded and said:

"Phew! Damn, it's so bitter! Didn't those bastards in the logistics department tell me that they had a slightly sweet mint flavor? ”

It seems that the potion was so unpleasant to drink that even a well-mannered scholar burst into foul mouths.

But the effect of the medicine seemed to be very good, and his originally pale face quickly returned to blood, and he didn't need Lloyd's help, and he got up from the ground himself.

Seeing that he had eased up, Lloyd hurriedly asked:

"Why did this guy attack you? What about your two companions? And also! I just found ...... over there at the lumberyard."

He had a lot to say, but Condin made a gesture of pressing his hands down, signaling him not to worry.

"Don't be so impatient, young man, I don't know what you said, now let me hurry up and do some channeling."

With that, he walked over to the director's corpse, which still had most of its human form, and said something in his mouth, and mobilized the little spiritual power left in his body, trying to check the creature's memory.

This kind of operation is actually very dangerous, and there is an element of gambling, and if you use psychic spirit against such a cult member whose strength is obviously greater than your own, you are likely to encounter all kinds of unpredictable dangers, and it is very easy to put yourself in it.

But now that the situation is urgent, Kangding can't take care of it so much, so he can only rely on the high spiritual resistance unique to the [Redemption] system and fight hard.

Lloyd couldn't be dissuaded, so he leaned against a nearby tree and checked the extra information in his head.

Although this time it was a fragment of memory rather than fragments, it was also intermittent, not entirely coherent, and the director's life history was not visible.

But it is enough to figure out the cause and effect of this incident.

He really came from a group of evil forces, called 'Chasing Mania'.

This gang is not an illegal association before, but a real sect!

They believe in a mystical being codenamed 'Feast of Madness', and are not followers of the regular order outside, but are real, religious in nature, with fixed worship rituals, daily prayers, and regular sacrifices.

And the sacrifices they were preparing at the moment were none other than the three transcendent beings who were not lower than the third order......

It is a ritual to break their reason, shatter their cognition, and make them struggle in madness and despair in agony in order to please the mysterious being.

Lloyd now knew why the director would attack the Mission's men......

And this mysterious being does not have a clear image in the memory of the director, but is described with words such as 'incomprehensible, untouchable, undesirable, not to look up to, not to be looked at, not to be spied on', and to add words such as 'incomparably mysterious, incomparably sublime, incomparably great'.

To sum it simply, it's probably 'like a god', right?

So much so that their cult didn't dare to call that guy by his name, but chose the name 'Enjoy the Feast of Madness', which sounded extremely strange.

Lloyd didn't understand it a little, this name doesn't have a clear direction at all, it's just a description of behavior, can it be regarded as a code name?

Is this another form of great disrespect?

Or is it ...... They didn't even dare to call this mysterious being by name, or by some orthodox titles and codenames?

With doubts in mind, Lloyd continued to check the director's memories, and soon discovered the secret of the lumberyard's storage area.

It's a small alien space?

It's similar to the nature of 'Dream Theater', but the scale is laughing countless times, and the overall size is only the size of a normal warehouse.

The director himself did not know the specific origin of the place, but he had heard other parishioners speculate that it might be a remnant of an ancient civilization, which was discovered by the sect by accident.

He didn't know much about and control there, and he didn't even find out, but the cult entrusted him to manage it, allowing him to use it as a base of activities, and carry out all kinds of evil rituals and insidious cult conspiracies in it.

The director does not know what kind of conspiracy it is, but only that the cult upper echelons have asked him to become a supplier of raw materials to Da Kai Tong first, and be responsible for supplying wood there.

So he took some painstaking efforts and used the help of various cult forces to successfully persuade the boss behind the lumber yard to invest in the construction here, and then smoothly mixed into the process of great development.

Next, he is also planning to further attract that investor into the game, develop him into a member of the sect, and believe that with his financial and social status, he can greatly help the development of the sect.

And his attack on the investigation team is also part of the plan, using the scale, prestige and influence of the 'live and work in peace' investigation team to implicate the investors behind the scenes, which is equivalent to forcibly pulling others onto a thief ship.

When Lloyd saw this, he felt a chill in his heart, these cultists are inevitably too insidious and vicious, right?

As a righteous young man with jealousy and hatred, even if I have a taboo system, I don't share the sky with these evil forces!

He was filled with indignation, and then searched the director's memories for clues about his father.

As a result, when I saw this, I felt even colder -

The more than 400 people in the village have all been brutally murdered, and under the mutilation of the cult rituals, they have become the living dead like walking corpses......

They do still have breathing and heartbeat, and can move like normal people, but their self-consciousness and rational thinking have been completely erased and destroyed, and they have become the kind of moving vegetative people who can only mechanically carry out the orders given by the supervisor.

Their memories, emotions, perceptions, pain, and even their physiological instincts as human beings have all been erased, and they are almost like so-called 'biological robots', which can carry out any instructions tirelessly, fearlessly and fearlessly.

In addition to using them to cut wood, help the cult collect money and advance the plan, the supervisor also uses a kind of evil art to use these villagers to absorb and filter forbidden knowledge.

It is equivalent to making these hundreds of people into a human flesh filter, allowing them to share the spiritual pollution in the forbidden knowledge, so that they can safely enjoy the forbidden knowledge given by the mysterious being.

That's why Lloyd [probes] the villagers in the lumberyard and finds that their [inspiration] is very high, and all of them are in [moderate madness], but they are still able to work.

They are long dead......

Such cruel and bloody methods made Lloyd feel sick for a while, and he didn't want to continue watching it......

But he still couldn't find the father who loved to dig graves, so he could only frown and endure to continue to look down.

Unfortunately, no clues to the father were found, and the last memory fragments seen were a few hours before when the director was in consultation and contact with one of his accomplices.

The content of the contact is exactly how to deal with the four of them.
