341. Greed breeds madness

The investigation team, which was originally following Lloyd and the others and trudging through the snow, suddenly discovered a bad news:

"Huh? One of those two people suddenly disappeared? ”

"What? What does it mean to disappear suddenly? Fell off a cliff? Which of the two exactly? ”

"It's the one with stronger strength and suspicion of being a fifth-order, and my inspiration suddenly can't find him."

"Infighting?"

"It's not like it, the strength of the other person is only the third order, and the two of them didn't break out into battle, maybe they launched some kind of ability? Or did you use some kind of holy artifact or equipment? Have you ever heard of that gear that can break free from inspiration lock? ”

"I've heard of it, but it's very rare, and it's very precious, which means that guy is really a rich young master, and this trip is even more prepared, and he must be here for the reward, otherwise the good incense car beauty won't enjoy it, and come to this ghost place to drink cold wind?"

"Damn! They are so rich, but they have to come to grab our bounty, this may be just an adventure or a game for them, but they have to come and snatch our life-saving straw, these rich people are really hateful! I'm going to have to hang their bodies on the streetlights! ”

"Yes, I thought these two guys were not good at coming from the beginning, and the third-order one was still pretending to be stupid with me, pretending not to know what the reward was, hum......"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, speed up your pace, keep an eye on the third-order one, don't let him escape too, we don't have a guide by our side, if we lose it, we will become headless flies!"

"Uh...... I'm a little tired of inspiration, so let's keep an eye on them instead. ”

The five members of the investigation team discussed one by one, and carried out another rotation of stalking, and the pace of their feet was also speeding up.

After following for some distance, one of them suddenly spoke:

"That's right! Do you remember? A little further on, there is a steep mountain road, and on the right is a cliff, and we had better get ahead of those two guys and get there, if we get ahead of them......"

"Good idea! If they still don't know the times, it's a good place for them to have a little accident...... And on that kind of dangerous mountain road, no matter how powerful that fifth-order one is, it will be difficult to show it. ”

"But...... Isn't there something wrong? We have no grievances with them, and there is no need to offend the family behind the rich young master, right? ”

"No grievances? The bounty we used to save our lives is a blood feud! Do you want to go to the front line of the Great Frontier? Do you know how many crazy people die there every day? ”

"Yes, if you don't want to participate in the Great Pioneer to send you to death, don't look ahead and look back at this critical time, in this kind of ghost place, any accident can happen, and there will be no clues, and there is no need to worry about the revenge of any family at all."

These people are obviously from a legitimate and regular investigation team, and some of them are extraordinary people in the legal system, and they have not left any criminal records before.

At first, they probably didn't think much about it, they just wanted to grab this important bounty.

But in this inaccessible wilderness, the greed in my heart seems to have come to a comfortable greenhouse, and it has begun to take root and take root gradually......

Although they are not attracted by the 'uncle's legacy', their mentality has also changed significantly, and they all have a fierce light on their faces, and their anger at their life circumstances and dissatisfaction with the bad environment have all been converted into hostility towards the two people in front of them.

It looks like a ferocious beast that has torn off the human skin cloak on its surface.

This is not the influence of other people, nor is it Lloyd's [distortion], but simply because there is no protection and restraint of order and morality, the greed in the heart will no longer have any obstacles, and it will easily defeat reason and morality, and easily give birth to evil thoughts.

But what is even more ironic is that it seems that the phenomenon of 'once the world is wide for evil' quickly fell on them, and they soon received good news:

"Huh? I'm locked into that fifth-order one again, and it seems that the equipment he used to get rid of the inspiration lock is invalid? ”

"Hmm...... I've found him again, and he looks terrible, weak, maybe it's a real infighting between the two, maybe it's a side effect of that special equipment? ”

"That third-order state is even worse, he seems to be ...... Wailing? Like a strong mental pollution? ”

"It seems that these two guys have encountered some kind of danger, and although they are barely getting rid of it, they have also paid a terrible price, and they are staying where they are to rest and breathe."

"This is a great opportunity! Let's get around! Go and block them on that mountain road! ”

This series of good news suddenly injected a burst of heart-boosting medicine into the entire team, making them burst out with strong motivation at once, and they did not hesitate to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies to maintain the speed of progress.

The five members of the investigation team easily bypassed the location of Lloyd and the others and rushed to the planned mountain road.

Although they were excited in their hearts, they also maintained a minimum of calm, and the five of them continued to alternately use inspiration to lock, and they were also very restrained in the use of spiritual power, trying to keep everyone in good condition in order to deal with the battle that might break out next.

As soon as they arrived, the person in charge of monitoring found that the Lloyds and the others had started to move again, and they should have rested enough to continue up the mountain.

Seeing that everything went smoothly in the plan, the five of them suddenly discussed happily again:

"Hurry, hurry! Get ready, take a break, and wait for them to come to your door! ”

"You say...... Will those two people carry a lot of money on them? ”

"Definitely, when I was in charge of locking it just now, I vaguely heard the third-order begging the fifth-order one, begging him to save himself, and was willing to hand over a check for 50 million as a reward for this!"

"Fifty million? Isn't that even higher than our bounty? So what else are we looking into Blizzard Lodge? Wouldn't it be better to just grab this fat sheep and snatch the check? ”

"That man looks so young, how can he carry so much money? Could you have heard it wrong? ”

"No, no, I heard it too, that kid is actually a soft eater, a rich family, and a father-in-law who runs a pig farm, very rich!

But his father-in-law is not satisfied with this marriage, the 50 million is the 'divorce fee' given by his father-in-law, and he came to take the risk this time in order to prove his ability to his father-in-law and want to save his marriage, and the fifth-order is what he hired with this money! ”

"I see, no wonder I found the spirituality of several holy relics in that kid, presumably he sold his hue in exchange!"

"What? He still has holy relics on him? Damn, I've been in this industry for ten years, and I've only seen a few rough seals, and I haven't even bought a holy artifact! ”

"What's even more odious is that this kind of waste can actually marry a young and beautiful wife who is obedient to him? Even in order to help him, he did not hesitate to fight against his father, and secretly gave him holy relics to use? ”

"Why does this kind of waste marry such a good woman? In my opinion, we might as well spare that kid's life, and then use it to blackmail his wife, who loves him so much, surely she can't bear to see him tortured by us, right? ”

"Hey, hey! That's a good idea! I like it! ”

The more these five people talked, the more excited they became, as if they saw a poor rich daughter standing in front of them with tears in the corners of her eyes, in order to save her lover, she wiped her tears and reluctantly knelt in front of everyone......

They couldn't wait to see this scene, hoping that the Lloyds would come over quickly and throw themselves into the net as soon as possible.

Their idea was too strong, so it quickly became a reality -

"It's coming!"

"Huh? Why are there a few more people around that kid? ”

"Damn! It's another group of transcendents, and that kid bought them with money! ”

"What to do? Do you want to go on? ”

"What is there to hesitate about now? Don't you want that rich lady? ”

"Don't be afraid, there are only five people on the other side, and the fifth-order one is gone, it may be that a conflict broke out and left, or it was killed by another group, and there are seven people on our side! It also occupies the advantage of terrain! ”

"Their strongest is the fourth order, and so are we, so there's nothing to be afraid of, just do it with them!"

Soon, Lloyd's group of five people walked on this mountain road, because of the rugged and dangerous terrain, the five people who originally marched in a group had to line up in a straight line, clinging to the cliff, and carefully climbing the mountain road.

On the other side, there is a bottomless cliff, once you stumble, there is no possibility of survival.

After Lloyd and his group of five people walked farther, they suddenly heard a low shout from the corner of the mountain road:

"Up!"

Three people suddenly appeared around the corner, holding arquebuses in one hand and brewing their abilities in the other, and launched a surprise attack.

Lloyd and his party obviously didn't expect someone to ambush here, and the person who walked in front was caught off fire by various abilities and fell into the cliff next to him on the spot.

"There is an ambush! That kid actually led someone to ambush us? He bought the guys from the investigation team! ”

"! I knew this little bastard had a ghost and wanted to deal with us from the beginning! ”

"Go back!"

At the retreat behind, two other people suddenly appeared and launched an attack, blocking Lloyd and his party in the middle of the road.

"Not good! We're surrounded! ”

"Don't panic! That fifth-order is not there, they are not our opponents! ”

"For that kid's fiancΓ©e! Fight! ”

Although the situation was very disadvantageous, Lloyd's side was not easy to deal with, and immediately launched a counterattack on the narrow mountain road.

So a life-and-death battle broke out in this Jedi.

Both sides are full of strength, as if they have a deep blood feud against each other, stabbing each other so much that 'bayonets are red', and even at the cost of exchanging their lives for their lives.

Even though the investigation team had a huge advantage, it also paid a terrible price, and when the last enemy was kicked off the cliff, the leader of the fourth order was also seriously injured, leaving a terrible wound on his waist, and was leaning on the cliff and gasping for breath.

"Still alive, huh?"

He turned his head to look at the last remaining companion, who also looked like he had exhausted his spiritual power, lying on the ground softly, his chest rising and falling rapidly, but he still gritted his teeth and responded:

"It's okay......"

"Where's the kid you want to catch?"

"In the back, I've been scared and fainted."

"That's fine, the brethren didn't die in vain."

The leading investigator whispered, took out a tube of healing medicine from his waist, and drank it with a clatter, and the injury on his waist quickly stopped bleeding, and the pain was no longer unbearable, making his face gradually improve.

He staggered over to the last of his companions, lifted him up with great difficulty, and continued:

"Don't worry, when I get that kid's money and take his wife, I'll send a pension to your parents."

"Huh?"

His companion was stunned, and before he could react, he was pushed off the cliff.

Whether it's money, holy relics, or someone else's wife, it's definitely best to enjoy it alone......

Anyway, a lot of people have already died, and no one cares about one more death......

After pushing his last companion off the cliff, the investigator walked over to the frightened Lloyd, ready to loot the spoils of the trip.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard someone behind him ask in a low voice:

"Don't even let go of your own people?"

The investigator was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there were six people in his team, and there was actually one alive?

But he didn't hesitate much, continued to turn his back to the other party, quietly changed the arquebus bullets in his hand, and then injected spiritual power, and continued to say:

"No, it's you who misunderstood, in fact, this guy has always had a grudge against me, he has been behind my back, and secretly communicated with other investigation teams outside, which led to our missions always failing, and finally fell into a debt crisis, I killed him, in fact, it was revenge for everyone......"

As he spoke, he suddenly replied and shot at the figure behind him.

But in the next second, his eyes widened suddenly.

Because he saw that the bullet with spiritual power was lightly waved by the other party, and he held it in his hand.

"You...... How did you suddenly become so powerful? ”

"No...... No, you...... Who are you? ”

As the investigator spoke, the world suddenly swirled in front of him, and finally the 'companions' standing in front of him gradually turned into two people, revealing the face of a fat sheep again.

"You...... How can it be? ”

The investigator suddenly realized something, and suddenly showed a frantic expression, and threw himself at Lloyd with a strange scream.

But then, he saw a matchstick pop out of his fingers.

In an instant, he suddenly felt a cold in his waist, his body lost his balance, and he fell to the ground.

It took another second for him to realize that the lower half of his body had left his body, as if split in two by a sharp blade, leaving a neat and smooth facet.

"Ah!!!! Yes!!!!! ”

He screamed frantically, his voice echoing back and forth through the mountains, and then his upper body struggled and crawled, trying to find the last straw.

But it was clear that the straw could not have grown on this narrow mountain road covered with blood and filth......

"Let's go."

Lloyd said coldly and turned around.

"Alas......"

Little Olga shook his head, turned back to follow, and then asked in a low voice:

"Did you do something to them?"

Lloyd spread his hands innocently.

"I've always been with you, and you've seen every move, haven't you?"

"But...... Then why did they stage this farce as if they had lost their minds, directed and acted by themselves, and then killed each other? ”

"I don't know, maybe it is the greed in their hearts that gives birth to their madness; Maybe it's a special environment, right? You see, they made such a fuss, and they didn't cause an avalanche or anything. ”

Little Olga pursed her lips, and did not continue to ask, but reached out to catch a scattered snowflake, and said along with Lloyd's diverted topic:

"Perhaps, the snow here is really unnatural."

As he spoke, he injected some spiritual power into his palm, and the snowflake suddenly seemed to vaporize and turned into a white smoke.

This is clearly an unnatural phenomenon, indicating that these snowflakes and the wind and snow here are also part of the anomalous event.

That might explain why those people suddenly lost their minds and went crazy.

Although it can be explained in this way, little Olga is still more inclined to what Lloyd did.

Because the previous scene was too weird......

Ever since he listened to Lloyd's advice and used a holy artifact that could break free from the lock-in of other people's inspirations from a distance, Lloyd was firmly locked by the four inspirations.

This is already an act of naked hostility for the transcendent.

Little Olga couldn't help but be a little worried, but Lloyd continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, not caring about it at all, and even deliberately slowed down a little, waiting for those people to catch up.

And the inspiration locked on him is still alternating alternately, obviously in order to maintain his condition and prepare for the next move.

But Lloyd just smiled and told little Olga not to worry, just wait and watch the show.

So the two of them came to the narrow mountain road, and then a little farther away, watched the fire of the two groups, and witnessed the man of the investigation team, pushing his last surviving companion off the cliff.

Although the bodies of these people have not yet begun to alienate, little Olga has no doubt that they have all gone crazy.

So he suspected for a while that Lloyd was actually involved in the path of [Story], because this kind of plot is very similar to those plots in [Story].

But there was not the slightest sign of [story] activation, and there was no indication that Lloyd was mobilizing inspiration and spiritual power.

Although little Olga himself is the [Projection] path, his own father is the seventh-order boss of the [Story] path, and he obviously knows the [Story] very well, and he is confident that no one can be by his side and quietly launch the [Story]

So how exactly did Lloyd do it?

Could it be the legendary [Twist]?

It's a pity that little Olga just guessed the correct answer, so she denied it on her own.

No, it's even more unlikely, [Twisted]...... That's definitely not an area that humans can set foot in.

It's the safest taboo system, and it doesn't do any harm to society......

In this way, it should be the effect of some holy object on him? He did carry three holy relics, one of which might have had a similar effect on distracting the minds of others.

Olga the Younger had heard of such holy relics before.

Although this kind of holy relic is very precious, not like a young man should hold, Lloyd did show a talent worthy of a large investment, and would give him a powerful relic for self-defense, which makes sense.

Could it be from the Brilliant Order of the Great Family, or maybe it could be from the more mysterious Mizkatok?

In this way, little Olga succeeded in convincing herself......

He didn't mind that Lloyd had something to hide, after all, no matter how close a friend was, he could keep his privacy.

What's more, the two have only known each other for a short time, and they also have holy relics on them that they haven't revealed to Lloyd.

However, this kind of holy object that can quietly interfere with the thinking consciousness of others still makes little Olga feel a deep awe in his heart.

is also secretly glad that the two have similar interests and can be friends instead of enemies......
