"Alright, let's open the portal."

Professor Lawrence said, fiddling with the ring and bracelet on his hand, then placing the weapon that could not tell the difference between a staff and a spear across his chest.

Lloyd was still not in a hurry, but asked cautiously:

"Professor, on the other end of the portal, where is the best place to open?"

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"That is...... It doesn't seem appropriate to let them come to our lab directly, right? So I thought about leading to the cage at one end and the other at the other...... Wouldn't it be better to choose a place that is safe for everyone? ”

Lawrenceston's eyes widened slightly, and he asked rhetorically:

"What do you mean...... Are you going to create a spatial passage out of thin air at such a distance? ”

"yes, it shouldn't be that hard, right? After all, it's only temporary. ”

Lloyd said very lightly, and flipped his palm, probably trying to say that it was as easy as reversing the slap.

"No, it's ...... Well, okay...... It shouldn't be difficult for you......"

"So the other end...... Do we have any special wards? ”

Lloyd asked more implicitly.

The special ward he wanted was, to put it mildly, a sturdy cell.

Because no one knows what's in that cage, is there only a few big guys trapped? Or rather...... Those big guys are still not human......

That's why he emphasized earlier that he needed a 'other end' that was safe for everyone, just to prevent the door from being opened and some strange things being released when the time came.

Professor Lawrence could naturally understand Lloyd's thoughts, and immediately nodded.

"Hmm...... You've thought it through, so wait a minute, and I'll get the old madman in touch and get him ready. ”

……………………

"Please hold on a little longer, don't give up, don't lose to the fear and madness in your heart."

Judge Tirtus spoke very rarely, comforting a temporary teammate beside him who was already clearly out of shape.

At this time, his trademark black robe, tightly wrapped in the shape of a stick, stood straight on an empty pure white floor, barely supporting the metal mask on his head and face.

His original body and limbs seemed to have disappeared, and all that was left of his body except for his head was a cloth stick wrapped in a black robe, looking like a mummy with only a head and a spine, looking miserable.

But fortunately, it was not that he was tortured like this by the enemy, but that he was originally such a life form, and choosing to restrain his limbs at this time was a kind of protection for himself.

However, the four [intellectual] bosses who were trapped at this time with him were all normal human life forms, but they were not as capable as him.

The weakest of them was just promoted to the Seventh Order, and he was also the first to be murdered - after being forced to send a distress letter to the outside world, he fell into a continuous [forgetting], from memory, to knowledge, to self-knowledge, and in the end, even his breathing and heartbeat were [forgotten].

This big guy was unfortunately chosen to be the chicken that made an example of the monkey......

But compared to what happened to the remaining three, he was the one who was relatively lucky.

There are also two seventh-order bosses, after they were also forced to write a distress letter, they soon began to lose their reason, fell into madness, and then turned into hateful monsters......

Forced into desperation, Judge Tirtus could only join forces with another big man who could still stay awake to strangle these two former comrades......

But after all, it was a seventh-order powerhouse who had fallen into a runaway person, and Rao was the chief judge, and the two of them also paid a very heavy price.

The last big guy was already seriously injured and delirious, and began to babble nonsense.

"Sorry...... I'm afraid...... Haha, I see, that's what it is...... Where I belong...... Please...... While I'm still ...... Kill me...... Hahaha, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you soon...... I got it, I knew everything! ”

The presiding judge saw that the limbs of the last comrade-in-arms had begun to mutate, and could only grit his teeth and whisper:

"...... Veto the name! ”

Bah

After a muffled sound, only the presiding judge, who was still supporting himself, and the four corpses on the ground were left in the cell.

At this time, a slight smile floated in the presiding judge's ears:

"So...... You're the only one left...... Tirtus, how long will you hold out? How long do you want to last? And how long can it last? ”

"They didn't need to die, I didn't want to kill you, but because of your stupidity, because of your stubbornness, because you refused my invitation, they had to die, you killed them!"

"Your struggle is pointless, your resistance only makes me laugh...... Give it up! Tirtus, I give you one last chance, join us, fall into the abyss with me, touch the truth with me, embrace madness with me! ”

"I and the Supreme Great Lord behind me will grant you liberation from forgetting, will grant you great distortions, you will have an eternal life, and you will enjoy eternal power......"

"Don't hold on, don't put up with it, this is the fate and future of mankind, this is the fate and end of mankind, why struggle? Why resist? Don't you realize the insignificance of human beings? ”

"The resistance of the insects is just to make people laugh."

The presiding judge has always had extremely high quality and self-cultivation, but listening to the chatter in his ears, he finally couldn't help but burst into a foul language:

"Fuck you."

"Hehe, don't try to provoke me in this way, I will be very patient, and I won't let you die so soon, you are a living bait, you are a bottle of hidden poison......"

"I'll let you see it with your own eyes, and the Bright City will forget all that scene, so stay tuned! I promise, you won't have to wait long. ”

"Oh! By the way, how many things have you forgotten? Remember your wife who died tragically in the mouth of a monster? Remember your poor son who was captured by the cultists for a living sacrifice? It's all your fault! You are also to blame for their deaths! ”

"Haha? You can't forget it all, do you? But it's okay to forget about these painful pasts, so that you can play with me a little longer. ”

The noisy voice finally fell silent.

But the presiding judge still didn't dare to be careless, and still maintained a tense state, trying his best to fight against the spiritual pollution in the air.

And the source of the spiritual pollution was emanating from a pot of flowers not far behind him.

The potted flower, to be precise, should be a sculpture of a pot of flowers, the appearance is extremely ugly, hideous, curious, there is a sense of indescribable that cannot be described in words, but it is colorful, and the saturation is extremely high, and it looks extremely eye-catching.

But if you look closely, you will see that the strangely shaped petals, the twisted branches and leaves, all look like some kind of meat product, or the polymer of some kind of organ, even if they are motionless, they are exuding a disgusting stickiness, as if they are constantly wriggling.

If you look at it twice, you will be invaded by a large stream of spiritual pollution, and at the same time, you will start to forget some things involuntarily.

For example, the seventh-order powerhouse who was the first to be murdered was 'forgetting to look away'......

However, even if you don't look at it directly, this curious sculpture will continue to emit spiritual pollution into the air......

If you dare to snoop into its secrets, you will suffer unimaginable spiritual pollution and spiritual impact in an instant, and the two depraved powerhouses before just didn't have time to regain their inspiration, and they fell into madness within a few minutes.

After the sacrifices of these companions, the presiding judge could basically confirm that the pot of flowers should be the unique mark left by the heir of an evil god, and it was a channel for him to interfere and influence the present world and project his power here.

Think of it as some kind of unique doppelganger, or a special organ.

It is precisely by relying on such a 'backer' that the gangster of the [Forgetting] Department can be so arrogant and easily handle the five strong men present.

Although the presiding judge can hold on for the time being, he knows very well in his heart that he won't be able to hold on for long......

He didn't know if anyone would come to save him, but it was better not to.

He could probably guess that the letter for help written by the gangster who risked the lives of his companions would be manipulated in various ways, and it would probably have some obscure [forgetfulness] attached to it, and then spread to their respective cities and orders.

Although he only wrote one, the gangsters could obviously send this one to several different places at the same time......

Although he reminded him in the letter, he also clearly described the current situation, and asked the people outside to leave him alone.

However, revising a letter is only a trivial matter for [forgetting] that can even erase historical records.

Whether he had been reminded in other ways, the presiding judge could not remember.

He doesn't know how many things he has forgotten, maybe even many important things, right?

But the gangster only said one thing wrong, that is, the suffering that made him extremely painful and wanted to forget countless times in the past, but he still remembers it very clearly.

That's the only thing that keeps him going......

In a trance, the faces of his deceased wife and children seemed to appear in front of him, smiling at himself and waving to him.

It was a scene I had never seen in my dreams......

But the limited reason was cruelly reminding him that this was a sign that he had fallen into [moderate madness].

Looks like I'm dying......

I'm sorry, I promised you that I will definitely avenge you, and I will definitely kill all the demons and monsters in this world......

I'm sorry, I broke my promise......

The presiding judge felt his consciousness groggy and seemed to be spinning around, and then he was like a corpse thrown into the water, slowly sinking into a bottomless abyss.

Is this what it feels like to fall into madness?

Not as bad as I thought?

Then, the presiding judge felt a force repeatedly washing over him, very cold and rude, like an undercurrent in the abyss of madness, washing away his last reason.

But a familiar voice came from my ear:

"Damn! How did you hurt the presiding judge like this? It's so cruel! It's over, the presiding judge only has a head and spine left, let alone marrying a wife in the future, he can't sit in a wheelchair, right? ”

Then a hoarse and rough voice said:

"Lawrence, did this teaching assistant of yours escape from me? Or should I arrange a ward for him here too? ”

Then another old voice replied:

"Okay, okay, his rank is still relatively low, and he hasn't changed his life form yet, so he doesn't know the situation...... Rest assured, Professor Tirtus wasn't physically traumatized, huh...... All right...... This is mainly because he has long since given up his physical body......

It's just that he has suffered a very serious mental trauma and has to recuperate in this ghost place for a while...... Alright, let's go first, and I'll leave it to another dean to deal with here. ”

When the presiding judge heard this, he felt a heavy consciousness, and he fell asleep in a groggy state.

……………………

"Professor, we can't just leave it at that!"

After returning to the laboratory from the mental area, Lloyd was still indignant.

Professor Lawrence, of course, was also indignant, but he was more realistic than Lloyd, shrugged helplessly, and asked:

"I know, but it's not easy to get people out of it, how are you going to retaliate?"

After the two of them completed a series of preparations in the early stage of the rescue, the last step to save people was the easiest and simplest.

It was Lloyd who activated the spatial passage, and then saw Judge Tirtus, who had only one head left, fall out of it and land on the hospital bed that had been prepared in advance.

Then it was replaced by the director of the psychiatric hospital with a bird's beak mask who took over.

Fortunately, although the presiding judge is only a head, he still survived after all, and his mental state is not hopelessly bad, after all, he was rescued not long after he fell into [moderate madness], so he can still be saved.

Without even needing Lloyd to meddle in his fuss, the masked dean began to take action to undo the mental contamination of the presiding judge.

However, speaking of this eccentric psychopath, Lloyd saw this person for the first time, and was a little startled when he saw him, thinking that the other party was a monster.

Because as soon as I saw him, the panel prompt in my ear was +1+1 yelling non-stop.

And using [Probe] on him directly failed, and the identity of the human being can be directly ruled out.

Maybe this is Mizkatok, who even dared to let an anthropomorphic creature fill such an important position as the director of the psychiatric department......

In short, the man was successfully saved, but the matter was obviously not over, and neither Lloyd nor Professor Lawrence wanted to give up.

At the moment when the spatial passage was opened, Professor Lawrence first struck, and used some kind of means that Lloyd did not understand to resist the [Forgetting] that came out of it

Then he quickly took a quick look at the 'glance' and saw the disgusting flower in the depths, and the four corpses of different shapes on the ground......

Because there is still a layer of spatial passage between the two sides as a barrier, Professor Lawrence is even more powerful, so it is just a small 'glimpse', but he did not suffer any damage, only a slight headache.

Then he swept his head angrily and dispelled the sudden extra strand of hair on his head.

"What kind of weird abilities do you have? You also learned it from textbooks? ”

"This ...... I usually say that it is the effect of a holy object on me......"

"Next time, remember to make up a better excuse, it's better to say that the dean or Professor Hiltina taught you a unique skill."

Professor Lawrence complained about Lloyd in front of the dean of psychiatry at the time, and he didn't mind being heard by a third person, and even took the initiative to introduce:

"Don't look at this guy as a monster, but he's pretty reliable, and I trust him more than Hazled."

"Lawrence, do you want to stay in the ward I reserved for you now?"

In short, the process of saving people is probably so lackluster, and the key is how to retaliate next.

Lloyd pondered for a moment while operating the light curtain in front of him, and then proposed:

"I can still locate that space cage now, and then I can find a way to reopen a space passage and give them some gifts?"

"Huh? That's okay, but I also told you about the disgusting flowers in the depths, right? Something like that, you've faced once before, was made by Professor Hiltina and 0-266. ”

"Uh...... Did Dean Hazleder tell you? ”

"Or else? I don't know how you did it, but I don't think you'll want to do it again, do you? ”

"I don't want to, so I thought about giving it a gift, it must be enough and enough surprise!"

"Hmmm......"

Professor Lawrence twisted his goatee and thought for a moment, then reached out and swiped open a portal.

"Let's go to the engineering department and see if there's anything that works."

Passing through the portal, Lloyd came to a faculty quarters and stood outside the door of a small cottage about the same level as his dorm.

He looked at it roughly, then frowned.

This small villa is much more personal than my own, with a lot of gears, screws, and even a steam engine hanging on the outside as decoration, and it looks very steam and punk, as if others don't know that it is related to the engineering department.

But that's not the point, the main reason why Lloyd frowned was that there was a chilling and scalp tingling ghost crying wolf howl coming from this villa! It was like someone was roaring and roaring in there.

And it was accompanied by some kind of sharp and piercing sound of metal rubbing, so that the goosebumps that Lloyd fell in an instant could circle around Mizkatok in a whole circle.

"What the hell is this place?"

Lloyd asked in a low voice.

"Alas...... In the ghost of Mizkatok, everyone has their own way of vacationing...... You have to get used to it as soon as possible, and even if you don't like it, it's best not to say it to your face. ”

Professor Lawrence said helplessly, then took a few steps forward and pressed the doorbell of the small outer garden.

I pressed it several times in a row before I heard the movement in the small villa stop a little.

Although the cacophony of metal grinding was still there, the creepy roar was finally gone.

After a little more waiting, the door of the cottage opened, revealing two ghost things inside.

One is a skeleton in the shape of an exploding head, wearing a set of bells and whistles, shiny and shiny, like a performance costume.

One is a colorful tin man, painted with the same bells and whistles, shiny, as if he was going to the catwalk.

"Hell!"

Lloyd was taken aback and couldn't help but shout.

"Uh...... Lloyd-san? Don't you remember me? I'm sorry, I thought it was only Professor Lawrence, sorry to scare you. ”

The skeleton said very well.

Only then did Lloyd recognize that this was the same Director Zaza who had helped him with the enrollment process earlier......

The tin man next to him hurriedly conjured up a white coat to cover the traces of his own release, and then said as if nothing had happened:

"Ahem...... Lord Lawrence, what do you do? ”
