383. Split up

Lloyd soon discovered that this so-called 'shelter management array' was truly inhumane.

This thing can't read the air, but also likes to interject, and it uses this kind of interjection that directly puts the 'mouth' in front of people's eyes, so that people can't ignore it......

It's just that at the moment, Lloyd is still arguing with an AI, so he said in his heart:

"What is the situation now? Grim Bu Yanjun? ”

"A situation map is being presented to you."

In the next second, a complete set of detailed maps of the City of Pleasure appeared in front of Lloyd's eyes, marked with various words and various marks, and different blocks were painted in different colors, and they could be zoomed in and out at will, which was a bit like playing a game to open the big map.

Among the many colourful bells and whistles, two bright red skull marks are the most glaring, indicating some kind of great danger.

Two skulls, one marked in the middle of the city and one far outside the city.

This place in the city should be those 'Miss Xie Breda' who are out of control, and the one outside the city needs no explanation.

And near the two skull markers, there is also a bunch of small green arrow symbols with more or less numbers attached to them.

According to the 0-006 interpretation, this represents your own and friendly forces, and the above values are its rough assessment of the power value.

Lloyd took a closer look and found that most of his units with high combat power were near the skull on the periphery, and there were several allies of thousands or even tens of thousands.

And near this skull in the city, there are only a few units with a dozen or so combat power points left.

In addition to these two most glaring skulls, there are also some flashing red areas, which are classified as high-risk areas, and various vicious accidents may occur, including but not limited to panic, stampede, mass crime, mass madness, and so on.

However, in the vicinity of these areas, there are hardly a few small green arrows guarding them......

It was supposed to be a densely populated evacuation and gathering area, but it is unclear what happened and it became extremely unstable.

Finally, there are some green and yellow areas that look less glaring, which are said to be safe and low-risk areas.

There is no need for Lloyd to count tiles, 0-006 gave him the ratio parameter very intimately, and the current ratio of risk zone and safety zone is infinitely close to 5 to 5......

Although there are still a little more safe zones, nearly half of a city is on the verge of collapse, and the situation is clearly too bad to salvage.

"Well, the situation is unexpectedly grim, so what do you want me to help you?"

0-006 did not answer directly, but gave Lloyd a long list of 'tasks', also distinguished by skulls, red, yellow, and green, and then 'said':

"This array does not have the authority to command you, and can only file a request for an appeal and adjust the current personnel deployment according to the choices you have made."

What about your NPC mission? Then why don't you have the original stone and Xingqiong?

Although Lloyd secretly slandered, he also had to admit that this guy was at least more reliable than the group of old men who shrank in front of him before.

At least it knows how to be humble and calm, not like the arrogance and disgust of those old men.

It's not as good as AI to live that old......

Lloyd cursed again, then dictated the current situation and the 'task list' to his companion.

Originally, he wanted 0-006 to directly communicate with these people in a mode like himself, but the machine stupidly said:

"Insufficient permissions to accept the request."

It also refused to explain the specific reason, anyway, it seemed very cold, and it was only willing to communicate with Lloyd, forcing Lloyd to rephrase it with his mouth.

Fortunately, the configuration of this project team is very high, and the preparation is also very sufficient, I saw the bald mage quickly take out a map of the City of Joy from his arms, and then with a wave of his hand, he cleaned up the drinks on the long table in front of him and replaced them with maps.

Then, while listening to Lloyd's descriptions, he wrote and drew on the map, as if he were a regular participant in such activities.

Then, after a brief thought, the bald mage stretched out his hand and pointed to the stick figure skull that he had drawn by hand, and said:

"At present, it seems that the biggest crisis in the city must be solved first, and this 'skull' in your mouth is already very close to the next safe zone."

Lecturer Randy on the side nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed to the red-painted danger zones, expressing his opinion:

"But these places are also in dire need of manpower to maintain order, and there are too many people here......

And compared to other safe zones, they are located right in the middle zone, and if something happens, it can easily spread to other safe zones, and then it's all over. ”

Lecturer Lille frowned and asked in a puzzled tone:

"But why did the turmoil happen in these relatively inward areas first? Which places out there are more stable? ”

"Maybe those underworld forces are doing something in it, right?"

Lloyd speculated, paused again, and added:

"Hmm...... 0-006 states that it agrees, and while it currently lacks sufficient control over the situation in those areas, it calculates that it believes that there are some small things that are making waves in these areas......"

With that, he pointed to the 'skull' outside the city, and continued:

"And here, in fact, it is even more dangerous, the monster tide is terrifying, you should know better than me."

"In that case, we will have to go our separate ways......

The bald mage frowned and said helplessly.

He obviously knew very well that there were only 10 people on his side who could act, and this was still the delicate Sage Miss, and it must be quite unwise to disperse the power.

However, the situation is urgent, and there is really no other way......

"I'll take two students over here."

The bald mage said, pointing to the 'skull' on the outskirts of the city, and reminded again:

"That's the most dangerous place, are there any volunteers?"

The seven top students present all stepped forward.

"I'm coming! The City of Joy is my hometown! ”

"I'll go too, I'm the one who likes danger and excitement the most."

"Let's go, my strength is still above you!"

"Huh? I finally found a chance to be in the limelight, why do you still want to grab it from me? ”

Lloyd watched them in high spirits from the side, and his heart was also full of enthusiasm, and he almost followed suit.

Maybe...... This is Mizkatok, right?

The bald mage seemed to be surprised by this for a long time, but he smiled faintly, nodded at the two students casually, and said:

"Okay, just the three of us, let me give you a good lesson in magic practice."

Seeing this, Lecturer Randy immediately took the initiative to point to the second 'skull' in the city and said:

"Then leave it to me."

Anyway, he also planned to call two volunteers, but Lloyd objected:

"No, let me do it here."

Then, he gave an indisputable reason:

"As the only space department present, I will be responsible for the reception of you later, if I am asked to go to other places to maintain order, I will definitely be difficult to be distracted, so leave this nearest and most convenient place to me, just deal with a few monsters, I can free up my hands to support you."

Lecturer Randy didn't object, just nodded and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Although Lloyd only thinks that he is a third-order, after experiencing the last archaeological activity, no one dares to underestimate his third-order.

After all, he is the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution Medal, and if it really comes to prestige and trust, Lloyd is afraid that he will not lose to Professor Toledo, who is still unconscious.

So two more honor students followed:

"Lecturer Lloyd, we're going to cover for you."

"Good!"

"Then the rest of the people, follow me and Lille to investigate the cultists."

Lecturer Randy made the final division of labor, and then Lloyd calculated the corresponding spatial coordinates, and then opened the portals one by one, sending his teammates out.

When it was finally his turn, a line of letters suddenly appeared in front of him:

"Thank you for your generosity, and at the same time, your understanding and mastery of space is beyond my think tank record, which impresses me, and I believe that in the future, you may be able to obtain first-class permissions."

"Don't you learn to say these polite words from humans, why don't you think about how you can help us?"

"Yes, I'll try to update my voice library."

No, why does this guy make people want to complain so much?

Lloyd whispered again, and prepared to follow the two honor students through the portal.

But Elolo, who had been hiding timidly on the side before, suddenly grabbed his arm.

"I'll go with you, too!"

Lloyd hesitated, then nodded:

"Okay."

With that, the group passed through the final portal, leaving Professor Toledo unconscious.

……………………

"Uh...... Ahh......hhh Ahem...... Doctor...... Doctor! ”

"We're still ...... Alive...... Save us ......"

"Someone! Someone! I'm going to...... Drink honey water! ”

In a spacious banquet hall, there were half-dead old men lying on the floor, some of them had not survived and died quietly, and some of them were still in good health, and gradually came to their senses, and began to call for others to come and serve as before.

Then there was silence all around, and no one paid any attention to them except their own calls.

So after a little more relaxation, they gradually became irritable, and regained some of their spirits as if they had returned to the light, and began to curse and say:

"Damn! Are there no living people here? ”

"That damn little bitch actually hooked up with wild men outside and came back to take revenge on us, doesn't she know that her status and the respect she receives are all rewarded to her by us?"

"I'm going to put those dog men and women in jail! No! I'm going to guillotine them with my own hands! ”

"Damn Mizkatok, when we are at our weakest, take the opportunity to take away our power, damn it! As long as I get back to my senses, I'll definitely report their atrocities to the other Order! ”

"Hehe, I think the Orders of other cities will not get along as well as us, they will pay attention to this matter, they will definitely not allow Mizkatok to do anything wrong with the remnants of his previous life!"

"That's right! They will come to our rescue, the true masters of our Order of Pleasure, we are vital and we will survive! ”

The men lay on the ground screaming as if they were crazy, and then they heard a series of footsteps outside, which made them even more excited.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Someone came to our rescue! ”

"Doctor! I need a doctor! ”

Soon, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and a group of people wearing black corset uniforms and colorful face masks entered.

This is the Holy Court of Grace of the Cult of Pleasure, which is responsible for dealing with cult heretics.

As soon as they saw that it was their own people coming, the old men lying on the ground suddenly regained their usual arrogance and began to give orders habitually:

"Good, good! It's our people who are coming! ”

"Watch out for those Mizcatok people! They must be arrested immediately! ”

"Help me up! What are you doing in a daze? ”

The leading masked man stood motionless, holding a list in his hand, and after checking it, he said in a judgmental tone:

"Several of you have been dismissed from your duties by the Holy One for dereliction of duty, and at the same time, you have been ordered to be completely banished because of your stupidity and incompetence."

"What? Are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"Who would dare to remove me from my position? Just that little? How dare she? How dare you? ”

"Hehe, you idiots, you will listen to a little girl's instructions to disobey us?"

The leading masked man shook his head helplessly, and said impatiently:

"It seems foolish that you have been completely renounced by His Majesty, and you cannot even receive the imperial decree from it...... Well, don't waste any more time, banishe completely, execute it immediately! ”

Originally, when they heard about the punishment of banishment, the old men were still lucky, thinking that at least one life could be saved, and as long as they survived the current danger, they might not be able to make a comeback in the future.

But then they saw that several other black-clad masked men drew their psionic blades from their waists and walked towards them.

"You...... What are you going to do? Didn't you say banishment? ”

An old man asked in a trembling voice, and then in the next second, his throat was cleanly slitted by the 'buzzing' psionic blade.

Then the next, and then the next......

Seriously wounded, they could not resist anything but shouting and crying for mercy, and they could not even see the expressions under the executioner's mask.

In less than a minute, the ballroom was completely silent.

The masked man at the head bowed slightly in a certain direction outside the window, and then said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the complete banishment of this group of incompetent insects has been carried out."

Two seconds later, a line of subtitles appeared in front of his eyes:

"Immediately go to High-Risk Area 2 to assist Mizkatok's reinforcements in maintaining order and clearing out the outlaws."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, the masked men rushed out and headed for the next battlefield.

……………………

"Lecturer, ...... there"

An honor student was lying on the edge of a roof, cautiously pointing to a monster a few hundred meters away, and then wiping his forehead, which had been thoroughly drenched by the heavy rain.

In the face of unknown and dangerous monsters, inspiration and spiritual vision do not dare to use indiscriminately, but it is the safest with the naked eye.

So after Lloyd and his party came to this residential building through the portal, they did not scatter their inspiration to search around, but chose a more cautious method and first determined the location of the monster with the naked eye.

Lloyd was lying next to the honor student, his body was also wet, and he quickly looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, he found an indescribable humanoid monster, wrapped in greasy and disgusting tentacles, and with the writhing and waving of the tentacles, he walked through the empty streets, as if looking for something.

Under the pouring rain overhead, it looked a little blurry.

But I can still see it clearly, in addition to the general shape of the human body, I can also find some exposed human organs on the back of the hands, chest, and back, but they are all tattered and incomplete, as if they have been bitten by wild dogs.

【Ding~Madness +3】

A panel prompt immediately sounded in Lloyd's ear, and he couldn't help but say to himself in his heart:

I've been exposed to that kind of intelligent AI, and sure enough, this unpretentious prompt makes people feel reassuring and friendly......

"Be careful, just looking directly with the naked eye will cause mental pollution, just in case, I will first activate a newly developed ability of the space system to help you share the spiritual pollution."

Lloyd whispered, and immediately cast the [Consciousness Tentacles], inserting a 'dumb hair' into the heads of everyone present.

Of course, I didn't forget the 'little girlfriend' lying on the other side of me, she was also drenched in the heavy rain like a kitten in water, clinging to her side, her delicate body was still trembling slightly, and it seemed to be a little cold.

But he was very strong and clenched his teeth, without the slightest intention of backing down.

However, after discovering that there was an extra 'dumb hair' on the top of his head, Elolo seemed to guess what Lloyd was going to do, so he shook his head vigorously, as if trying to express that now was not the time, and then reached out and pulled it on his head a few times.

The [Consciousness Tentacles], which will not be invalidated no matter how many people play and pull them, were actually lifted by her casually?

Maybe this is the Sage?

"Lecturer, there are three more heads here."

Another honor student in the back of Lloyd's side reminded in a low voice.

Lloyd hurriedly approached, and sure enough, he found three other monsters of the same style in the rain.

Then, two more were spotted by them.

"Go inside the building first, be careful."

Lloyd waved at everyone again, and then led everyone back to the house they had just teleported to take shelter from the rain for a while, and discuss the next tactics by the way.

"There are six monsters in total, and they don't seem to be easy to deal with, they don't seem to have any obvious targets, they are just approaching another settlement, and the speed is not very fast."

An honor student summed up the situation first, then took the towel that Lloyd took out of the storage bag, and wiped his face briefly.

Lloyd also distributed towels to the others, and finally took one for himself, wiped his head vigorously for Elolo, who was in his arms, and discussed it seriously:

"This kind of thing reminds me of a kind of monster that I used to dissect - the karmic demon ......"

"Huh? Isn't that the Danger 7 kind? ”

One of the top students' eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't even bother to wipe his head.

"Yes, I agree with Lecturer Lloyd's judgment as well."

The other honor student leaned against the window, secretly observing the nearest monster, and continued:

"I got the final etching of the biology department of monsterology to study this thing, and I am very familiar with them, and the disgusting smell can't be wrong!

But they are also a few different from the karma I have observed before, mainly in terms of body size and behavior patterns-

They are too 'skinny' and too quiet, and if they were normal karmic demons, they wouldn't walk down the streets like this, but roar and emit terrifying spiritual pollution, and then destroy everything in front of them......

So what's going on with them? ”

"There's a possibility that they're man-made and can be controlled to some extent."

Lloyd said in a slightly hesitant tone, but he actually knew the answer in his heart.

The last time he rescued Elolo, he had discovered that there was a smell of karma on those 'Miss Xie Breda'......

And the abnormality of these karmic demons on the street basically confirmed his statement.

"What? Man-made karma? This ......"

The honor student with the etching of the completion of the Monster Science suddenly widened his eyes, forcibly suppressed the urge to exclaim, and asked in a low voice:

"Are those people crazy? Even this kind of power is delusional? ”
