Lloyd's side didn't think about being a 'student in the next class', he just wanted to speed up the progress and get the ritual running as soon as possible, so as not to find out about the 'horror' just now.

So he was very serious and committed as soon as he got started, and with the help of the fifth-level [Ritual Control], he quickly completed the part of Randy's lecturer.

When he looked up, he saw Lecturer Randy 'fighting wits and courage' with the weeping student, his face full of helplessness......

Thank you so much!

Lloyd sent a greeting in his heart, and then looked at William, the bounty hunter, who was not far away...... Oh no, it's Assistant Coach William.

To his surprise, this person looked like a reckless man licking blood from the knife edge, but his attainments in ritual science were not lost to the real lecturers, and he basically completed the progress at hand, and then asked without raising his head while checking:

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Just wanted to ask if there's anything you can help with?"

Lloyd hurriedly explained.

"No, everyone has their own tasks, and it's not good for you to do that."

Assistant coach William replied coldly, looking extremely rigid and stiff.

However, another lecturer named Lille was more flexible, and hurriedly said:

"Lloyd, if you want to help, go and see those two art department members, their mental pollution is rising."

"Okay."

Lloyd hurriedly approached an art student.

His progress was originally quite fast, but it seemed that when Lloyd stepped in to help, he came to a standstill and did not move.

As for himself, he was curled up on the ground, his hands clasped on his legs, his eyes were misty, and he was still whispering in his mouth:

"Mom...... I didn't mean to......"

Belch...... Is this already hallucinating?

Lloyd hurriedly added a [Enhanced Investigation] to confirm his mental state.

Behind the column of mental state, the words 'mild insaneness' are displayed, and they are flashing rapidly, and they may deteriorate at any time.

Lloyd had [probed] many times before, and it was the first time he had seen it flicker so fast.

But it has never really deteriorated, but forcibly maintained the state of [mild madness], just like a person who has fallen into the mire half of his body, and has been forcibly dragged by someone with a rope, and he can't pull it out, but he won't continue to sink.

This should be the help of two lecturers, right?

And the four attributes of this person, although [Reason] is not the lowest, but [Inspiration] is the highest among students except for Lloyd, then it must be very difficult.

But his transcendent system is actually the [asylum] that makes Lloyd feel a little intimate?

That should be considered a follower of Elolo?

So Lloyd decided to help him, and then activated the useless [Consciousness Tentacles] skill, so that an invisible wisp of 'dumb hair' grew on the top of this person's head, but it was very thin, and it was impossible to detect it without mobilizing inspiration.

And in the current high-level environment, no one should dare to escape inspiration casually, right?

Even Lloyd didn't dare to be so unrestrained......

With such a [Consciousness Tentacle], Lloyd immediately heard a panel prompt:

【Ding~Madness +100】

【Ding~Madness +100】

Well, that's the right rhythm.

It just so happened that he had already adapted to the mental pollution in the air, and he couldn't get any madness value, so his subordinates made up for it.

Lloyd looked down again at the part of the ritual that the man was responsible for.

It's actually a very basic, useless [visual decoration]?

This ritual is simply to create a pair of visual effects that can be easily seen by the naked eye, such as a castle floating in the clouds, petals flying in the sky, and brilliant ceremonial flowers in the night sky.

But because it is so basic, ordinary people can see that it is fake at a glance, so it is often disliked as not realistic enough......

Lloyd didn't quite understand the significance of this ritual for the time being, but it seemed as if it was part of an array of rituals.

Maybe it's to ease the tension at the scene, right?

Since it is a basic ritual, Lloyd is not effortless to arrange, so he simply uses spiritual power to erase the parts that others have drawn before, not wanting those crooked lines to affect the final effect, and then he uses spiritual ink to draw a textbook-like accurate [visual decoration]

After helping this one, he continued to approach the other art student present.

This person looked much better than the previous one, at least he was conscious, but he had an unbearable headache, and when he saw Lloyd approaching, he hurriedly took the initiative to say:

"Help...... Help me...... It's just the last point......"

This person's system is also [veto], but he doesn't have the temperament of a religious background, and he should be an extraordinary person from a private organization outside.

But Lloyd didn't dislike it, so he did the next job in his hand to help him complete the [sound insulation] used to prevent eavesdropping, but he didn't use the [Consciousness Tentacles] to help share the mental pollution.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to be noticed and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, anyway, looking at his mental state, it is okay, and he should be able to hold on until the completion of the ritual array.

As for this set of [soundproof] rituals used here, it should not be used to prevent others from eavesdropping, but to protect oneself and avoid hearing some strange movements.

After Lloyd finished helping with this, with the help of two lecturers and teaching assistants, this set of ritual arrays was successfully completed.

As Instructor Randy arranged the last few props, the Ritual Array was activated, and an invisible shield with multiple functions protected everyone.

The spiritual pollution in the air suddenly weakened a lot, making the students who were originally pale and couldn't hold on anymore regain their blood color.

The pages of books and students that were floating around were also squeezed into the corner by the shield, and they no longer floated around unscrupulously.

The surroundings were also much quieter, as if the air had become heavier, and it was supposed that the [sound insulation] had the desired effect.

But in Lloyd's view, these are just minances, and what really matters is that looking out from inside the shroud, the library looks like a layer of yellowish old photo filters, giving the effect of the passage of time, which finally gives the scene a bit of an archaeological feel.

According to the experience sharing in the student handbook, once the deployment of the ritual is successfully completed and the protective shield is propped up, then the operation is half the battle.

However, Lecturer Randy asked with some confusion:

"Huh? How do the visuals look like this? The previous design plan is obviously a green and sober natural style? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the art student who was in charge of this part.

As a result, the latter had already passed out and could not answer his questions.

And Lloyd, who erased other people's rituals and redrew a new one himself, naturally lowered his head weakly and didn't dare to admit it.

Fortunately, Lecturer Randy didn't dig deeper, and said:

"It seems that he is not in a good mental state, so something is wrong, right? Fortunately, it doesn't have much impact, it's just a simple sense of atmosphere...... Okay, let's take a break and adjust our state before moving on to the next homework. ”

Another lecturer smiled and asked:

"Someone brought a record player? Or what kind of musical instrument? Let's have some music, remember to be soothing, preferably in a bar-blues style. ”

"I brought it."

The assistant to the bounty hunter replied, and as if by magic, he suddenly put on a loud hand-cranked record player, picked up a vinyl record, put it on, and shook the grip.

As a melodious and soothing melody began to flutter, everyone present let out a long breath, and their mental state was effectively relaxed.

Therefore, playing music is definitely not an act of pleasure, but so that everyone can dissolve the mental pollution they suffered before as soon as possible.

"Does anyone need wine, drinks, or desserts? I prepared a lot. ”

Lecturer Randy continued, generously taking out a lot of food, signaling that he needed to take it himself.

Lloyd didn't say anything polite to him, but picked out a bottle of green bitter gourd juice that looked the most pleasing to the eye, and then tasted it boldly.

(>_<)

Damn, it's so bitter!

"Hahaha, not everyone can accept this taste."

Lecturer Randy noticed Lloyd's expression and couldn't help but laugh, further easing the atmosphere in the scene.

Another lecturer followed suit:

"Whoever comes up with a story, or a joke, or a performance, remember to be light-hearted, relaxed, optimistic, smiling, plus wine and music, is our best weapon against mental pollution!" It's a pity that no girl was shortlisted this time, otherwise she could have been asked to dance for everyone. ”

"I'll come, I'll tell you a joke."

A history student volunteered to talk about it, and then told a joke that was very embarrassing, cold, and not funny.

But all but the unconscious people laughed.

It's not that the jokes are funny, it's that people want to laugh, or they need this kind of laughing atmosphere.

Lloyd was no exception, smiling as well.

After laughing, I didn't forget my job, and took out the space cube and made a simple calculation.

Okay, the surrounding spatial disturbance is a little calmer than before.

It seems that their divination is quite accurate, right? The ritual was deployed smoothly, and the space did not come to make trouble, and the result was indeed inclined to be optimistic.

Lloyd's mentality became more and more relaxed, so he simply seized this rare calm, with the help of two pieces of spatial equipment, recalled the knowledge in the books, and felt and remembered the changes in the different spaces here.

After a while, he heard a panel prompt in his ear:

【Ding~Skill Fragment +1】

If nothing else, this is a skill fragment related to [Space Domination], which is actually easier than just reading a book.

It seems that Professor Lawrence's previous statement is still a little biased, and for me, the effect of learning through this combination of theory and practice is naturally better and faster than simply chewing books.

If only I could read a book here......

Another bold thought welled up in Lloyd's head.

But fortunately, I didn't dare to put it into practice.

Reading books in such an environment full of forbidden knowledge, the devil knows what to learn......

Let's continue to perceive the changes in the space and consolidate what we have learned before.

Lloyd persuaded himself in his heart.

The panel also agreed with his thoughts:

【Ding~Skill Fragment +1】

The others present gradually started chatting through two warm-up jokes, and began to talk about all kinds of interesting things in the academy or in the outside world.

Several students who had fallen into a coma before also woke up one after another, and also joined in, seizing the time to adjust their mental state.

However, all the people present were men, so this kind of small talk unconsciously showed some inherent rhythm change-

At first, they were still talking about some light topics, but as they chatted, the topic somehow turned to a serious direction......

Especially when someone raised the question of the next process and the whereabouts of Professor Fernand, the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn.

But the two lecturers seemed to notice that everyone was almost rested, and it was time to be serious, so they did not shy away from it, but followed the conversation, singing and saying in harmony:

"After everyone has finished their drinks and wine, we will get down to business, then get down to business for a while, then stop and rest for a while, and so on until we evacuate."

"As for what to do, it was also mentioned in the previous combat meeting, and we need to have orderly access to the knowledge outside under our protection, and filter and recycle it in a safe and prudent way."

"If I'm not mistaken, this was once the largest library in Mitzkatok, and it was much larger than what we see, and it contained an immeasurable collection of knowledge, a precious legacy of a bygone era, but also a terrifying spiritual pollution."

"So be careful! Don't be reckless and nonsense, and be sure to listen to our commands. ”

"As for the professor...... Don't worry, or rather...... We can't worry about them, we can only hope that Lloyd from the space department can bring some news about them. ”

Lloyd was a little surprised, he didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to him.

But he was not unprepared, and he replied:

"They're in another part of the library, ...... away Well, in this kind of hellish place, the distance on the scale of reality is meaningless, but they are in a good situation, and the space they are in is as stable as we are here. ”

In fact, just the two pieces of equipment in his hand, as well as the theoretical knowledge he has learned so far, are not enough to track the spatial position of others like this.

It wasn't meant to be his job.

It's just that through the previous perception and consolidation, he finally gathered enough skill fragments to make this most difficult to improve [Space Domination] to LV2.
