385. Leave you a surprise
In fact, the reason why Lloyd was stunned outside in the rain was not really to be greedy for that bit of madness, but mainly to observe this rare monster more closely.
It is not only the observation of the naked eye, but also the bold opening of inspiration and spiritual vision, so that the madness value soars for a while, and the eardrums have phantom pain.
It's not that I'm stimulated by mental pollution, but I'm noisy by the panel prompts......
Soon, Lloyd discovered that these monsters did have a certain degree of resemblance to the karmic demons he had dissected, but there were also not small differences.
The first is the body structure, in addition to the difference in size, it is far less tenacious than the karmic demon, and it also lacks the weird characteristics that can quickly adapt to all kinds of injuries -
When dissecting the karma demon before, the scalpel cut back the more sluggish it felt, not because the blade was worn, but because the karma demon was quickly adapting to this 'cutting injury'.
And the monsters in front of them don't have such anti-heaven characteristics, they are much more vulnerable than karmic demons.
Then there is the internal structure, which belongs to the kind of structure that merges with machinery and biology, and the proportions are almost half open, and there are obvious traces of human processing;
Unlike karma demons, the main body is still a living being, and it is relatively more 'natural', but there are some mechanical parts of unknown meaning mixed in the body.
However, this half-organic and half-inorganic structure is also unheard of by Lloyd, very strange and magical, I really don't know where the makers of these 'Miss Sheveleda' got the technology?
Finally, there was the thick and disgusting tentacles that covered Miss Tsebereda's body, although it seemed that the two had been highly integrated, as if they had been like this.
Lloyd had seen what Miss Sheberetda looked like before, and he had seen them full of vitality and alienated into monsters, but there was still a big gap between that image at that time and now.
After careful inspection, he found that the outer layer of tentacles was most likely covered or superimposed from behind, and similar to some kind of remote control device, connecting the distance through an extremely secret channel.
From time to time, I could hear a faint murmur coming from that direction, as if someone was giving orders to the monsters.
However, under the influence of the [Twisted Realm], these monsters are completely out of control, unable to obey the instructions sent from afar.
Who is controlling these monsters? And who can control this monster? The spiritual pollution they emitted was so intense and rapid, it was basically the same level as the karmic demons, what creature could give orders against such spiritual pollution?
Could it be the 'witch' mentioned earlier?
Lloyd speculated briefly in his heart, but in a series of panel prompts, he heard Elolo's anxious voice:
"Please help my lover, he must be struggling to resist mental pollution, and he can't move!"
No, I ......
Although being cared for by his 'little girlfriend' made Lloyd's heart warm for a while, he really wanted to persuade her not to meddle in her affairs.
I have only been able to upgrade to level 10 with this kung fu, which is obviously not enough!
But at the moment, he was not very easy to explain, and he could only hear the three honor students say very righteously:
"Lecturer hold on! We're here to help! β
"Wow, yes! Fight with them! β
"For Mizkatok!"
Although he could feel the 'hot-blooded friendship bond', Lloyd still couldn't laugh or cry, and complained in his heart:
These monsters are all controlled by me and are motionless, why are you so excited to drive a stake?
However, he was afraid that these people would be injured by mistake, so he hurriedly launched a physical distortion at the microscopic level, destroying the body joints of those monsters, making them unable to move; Destroy a few more key structures that provide energy to the body, and even the tentacles will be silenced.
As a result, they can't even do the output to the air, so they can only fall to the ground limply, playing the role of a good stake.
Lloyd also wanted to delay a little more time and earn more madness points, so he didn't do any further operations, but observed the actual combat level of these three top students.
But after looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but shake my head in my heart.
The previous 0-006 assessment of their combat power was really just a rough estimate based on data theory, which is really a bit spicy......
For example, the one in the [Redemption] system used a weapon with a rather historical atmosphere, and before firing the gun, he also cut his palm and smeared his own blood on the gun, as if he was 'enchanting' the gun.
Then aim at the head of a monster facing the street and pull the trigger.
As a result, the arquebus chose silence to ......
Only then did he realize that it was raining a little too much......
Also aware of this was the one from the [Ancient Mage] department, who wielded the spear and staff weapon in his hand, unleashed a large fireball, and then slammed it into the monster below while steaming.
As a result, when the fireball flew into place, there was only one spark left......
The last of the top students of the [Order] system is slightly smarter than the previous two, and the weapon he uses is a weapon with a distinctly Mizkatok style and a special appearance......
Bolt a pistol?
Obviously, there is only the size and length of the pistol, but there is a hand-to-hand bayonet in front, and you need to pull the bolt to unload the gun to shoot a shot, and then push it back to reset, and the rate of fire is extremely touching.
I'm afraid this kind of comedy weapon wasn't made by some engineering department's cleverness, right?
The positioning and gun control level of the key person is also not good, and it took five shots in a row to hit one shot, breaking one of the monster's tentacles.
He also muttered with a puzzled face:
"Huh? Why is my marksmanship so bad all of a sudden? Is it too far away? β
Alas...... Just practice more! If you compare your marksmanship with Professor Toledo, you can make a four-character idiom......
Lloyd let out a laughing stumbling scold.
I feel like I'm a mystery that jumps big and pulls five, and then I look back and find that my teammates' death fingers and doom have hit the creeps.
Anyway, it can be clearly seen that the strength of these top students is not bad, but they are too lacking in actual combat experience, and they probably rarely match people.
But the top students are honor students after all, after overcoming the embarrassing mistakes caused by the nervousness at the beginning, they quickly adjusted, directly followed Lloyd's example, jumped out, each drew a different style of psionic blades, and fought with the stake at close range.
"Hah! This thing is so much better than a gun! β
"Ice Spikes! Give me death! β
"Let me atone for your sins!"
After finding the right way, the damage output of the three of them came up at once, and they killed a wooden stake in three or two clicks.
Lloyd also immediately absorbed a madness value through the [Consciousness Tentacles].
γDing~Madness +700γ
700 points, is it really a danger of 7?
Well...... Their speed, lethality, and intensity of mental contamination are worthy of this danger.
Although the defense is a little lower, it does not have the ability to adapt to damage like the karma demon, and the vitality is also a little worse, but it has a more flexible size and faster speed, and if there is no [Twisted Realm] to control it, I am afraid it will be quite tricky.
Anyway, in addition to being easy to eat and control, it's quite powerful overall.
And only [Distortion] can control them, and if you change it to [Veto], it is likely that your ability will be invalid due to a lack of understanding of them.
Even the distortion of consciousness is not useful, they do not have some simple thinking consciousness like the giant knowers, and can only distort their perception.
Lloyd mentally assessed the level of this new monster again, and learned more.
Without the presence of the Twisted Humans, it is hard to imagine how damaging they can be......
There shouldn't be many monsters of this level, right?
Those crazy people in the City of Pleasure can't have made a lot of them, right?
Lloyd was thinking in his mind when the three honor students quickly killed another stake.
But just as they were about to solve the third stake, everyone present felt a gaze projecting from the far side of the horizon.
Although the gaze was far away and seemed very mysterious, it was not as majestic as the sage's gaze, and it did not make people tremble, but it felt a little cold on the back, as if it was being looked at by a poisonous snake.
It seems that the controller of these monsters in the distance has noticed the anomaly of his subordinates, and has snooped on it in some way.
After that gaze quickly swept over the few people present, it temporarily let go of the three honor students, and just focused on Lloyd and Elolo.
Lloyd also looked in the direction of his gaze without fear, and made some kind of air contact.
As a result, it was less than a second, and the gaze actually chose to take the initiative to retreat and disappeared.
"Lecturer? Someone was spying on us from a distance. β
An honor student hurriedly reminded.
"I know, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so let's hurry up and solve it."
Lloyd responded, no longer greedy for this crazy value, and chose to take the initiative.
He then used his inspiration to lock on to all the seemingly critical organs and structures in the nearest demonic object, and unleashed the greatest physical distortion to destroy them all.
γDing~Madness +700γ
Then change to the next one, and then the next one, and finally deal with the one that the top students are besieging.
"Withdraw!"
Lloyd pulled open a portal to let the others go in first, pausing slightly.
The corpses of the six monsters on the ground have not been disposed of yet, so it is better to ......
In Lloyd's name, the bounty is twisted!
Lloyd consumed a little of the reading progress of the Book of Truth, leaving the corpses with [Distorted Seeds] and setting the maximum distortion effect.
Then I walked into the portal.
He hoped it would surprise the sneaky voyeur.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a few minutes of Lloyd's group having evacuated, the gaze that had flinched briefly before came back again.
But this time, it was not just a simple peeping, but undisguised hostility and anger......
The pouring rain in the sky suddenly showed a green texture, as if it had changed from liquid to light.
And when these green raindrops fell on the nearby buildings, a dark green smoke suddenly rose, and then emitted a disgusting stench.
In just a few seconds, the entire neighborhood where Lloyd and the others were before was completely enveloped in a fog composed of these dark green smokes.
By the time the fog cleared in a few minutes, the entire neighborhood was unrecognizable, with both above-ground buildings and underground structures covered in large and small potholes, showing signs of corrosion and melting, looking like a lump of cheese soaked in water.
When normal raindrops fall again, just this little bit of force causes the buildings here to collapse, shatter, and turn into soft debris.
In the entire block, only the corpses of the six monsters on the ground remained intact to the last extent.
So the gaze focused on these monsters one by one, as if to see if they could be saved.
But after it examined all the monsters' corpses one by one, its eyes couldn't help but show obvious disappointment and even stronger anger.
Then, presumably, in the spirit of some kind of waste utilization, it gave some kind of order to the corpse.
As a result, the layer of tentacle tissue on the surface of the corpse quickly contracted and shriveled, like a deflated ball, and gradually turned into a strange dark green mark.
Then the sigil burned on its own, turning into a wisp of invisible power and flying in the direction of the sight.
Meanwhile, in a posh theater near the city center, a businessman who looks to be in his fifties slowly opens his eyes.
Next to him was a young man who looked like a theater waiter, and the two were staying in a VIP box.
And outside of this box, in the ordinary audience, on the stage, in the corridors, and in various other places, there are scenes of madness played out everywhere.
Some people are singing, some are dancing, some are overeating, some are staging stage plays, some are holding French salons while the chaos is taking advantage of the chaos, and some are even cutting their skin little by little with a knife, and they are laughing with obsession and satisfaction.
Not confined to the theater, but also in the streets outside, in other buildings outside, there are people everywhere, all of them as if they were partying towards the end of the world, enjoying the morbid pleasures that they can't enjoy on a daily basis.
The place where the theater is located was originally the most central and prosperous area of the City of Pleasures, full of institutions offering all kinds of services and pleasures, and there was no interference from the Order to spoil the interest of the people in time.
So when the turmoil came, it was the first place to fall.
But it did not lose its attractiveness because of this, on the contrary, there are more and more ordinary people, ignoring the Order's obstruction, trying to join here.
It may be because the usual consumption level here is extremely high, and few ordinary people can come and enjoy it; It may also be because these people have inadvertently noticed something and have developed some kind of fanatical interest in this place.
In just one day, it became the center of unrest and quickly spread and dispersed to other areas.
Those normal people outside thought that the people who came here were panicking or something, but in fact they were not, they just stopped suppressing their inner instincts and simply wanted to come over and have fun.
"Our 'old friends' are searching for us."
The young waiter in the VIP box whispered.
But he doesn't use a human language, it's more like an ancient language, but it's not standard, it should belong to an ancient dialect?
And his voice was not as masculine as he looked, but rather exuded a strange femininity, as if he was deliberately speaking with a sharp voice, so that it sounded a little unmasculine and unfeminine.
"It's Mizkatok, I didn't expect them to react so quickly and easily aware of our presence."
The merchant replied in the same language and in the same voice.
"For thousands of years, those pedants have been one of our greatest enemies, and their sense of smell is naturally sharper than that of these lower creatures today."
"They've vandalized my puppet and taken a second target hostage."
"Oh! It's sad news that your arrogance and stupidity have skewed our plans, and they won't love you anymore. β
"No, it's not that bad, although the puppets are broken, I have successfully recovered the gifts of the master mother, I just need to find a better carrier for them, and I can have stronger dolls."
As he spoke, the merchant stretched out his finger and gestured twice, and a slight ripple pattern appeared in the air in front of him, and then a blurry curtain of water was formed, and several figures were reflected in it.
It was two lecturers from the Department of History, who were leading several top students, looking for something on the streets, despite the heavy rain on their heads.
But it didn't go well, and they were often stopped by the overzealous crowd on the streets, inviting them to a drinking party, a ball, or even a salon party.
Although they refused with disgust and determination, they were inevitably delayed by these people in their search.
The young waiter also glanced at the water curtain, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked:
"Can you handle it alone? Want to beg for my help? β
"Hehe, the strongest of them is active on the outskirts of the city, so you better care about your own situation first, don't be found."
"Humph!"
The young waiter snorted coldly, and his figure instantly became transparent, and then turned into a puddle of liquid and spilled on the ground.
The merchant smiled disdainfully, got up and walked out of the VIP box, and then, by some means, he found the position of Mizkatok and his group, and then held up a female parasol and walked in their direction.
His steps looked unusually awkward, as if he was walking with his feet on, similar to that of a gender-blurred crowd.
But it's also quite brisk and relaxed.
On his own, though, he could not have faced so many Mizkatok pedants.
In the past and now, the 'witch' is not good at frontal combat, it is too rude, too ugly.
Therefore, as the most favored daughter of the mistress, he has always been known for his intelligence and cunning, and has ten thousand ways to play with these rigid pedants.
"So, let's have an appetizer first, and when you're in the middle of life and death, can you still maintain your ridiculous sense of justice?"
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the merchant's mouth, and he reached out and tapped it in the air.
Soon, Mizkatok and his party on the water curtain were surrounded by a large crowd of people.
The people, all armed with all kinds of rudimentary weapons, knives, pitchforks, hoes, and even rudimentary sticks, all with hideous faces and bloodshot eyes, pounced viciously on the Mizkatoks.
But these stupid pedants thought that these people were just innocent people whose minds had been affected, and they did not dare to make a move, so they could only flee in confusion.
And then they were blocked in all directions......
Soon, one of the top students slipped and fell to the ground, and then was instantly overwhelmed by the 'innocent people', and finally not even a single intact corpse was left......
But even so, Mizkatok's side still did not intend to attack, but only gently tried to drive away.
Gradually, one by one, they were caught, and each died worse than the other.
"Hahaha, it's so much fun, my favorite show is to watch these idiots die of their own stupidity."
The merchant said contentedly.
Then, suddenly, someone beside him spoke:
"Lecturer...... Why don't you give this guy a hard time? It feels weird and oossing ......."
"Well, it's really disgusting anyway."
The merchant was stunned, but gradually came back to his senses, and found that the Mizkatok scholars, who had apparently died tragically at the hands of the mob, suddenly appeared intact in front of him, and then looked at him with the same gaze as if he were observing some kind of experiment.
"Ah......h
He hurriedly tried to resist, but found that his body and limbs had long since disappeared, and there was only one head left in his body?
