Chapter 447 446.What were you doing last night?

"What the hell is this...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ...... vomit"

The investigator who had cast the net was surprised by his inexplicable instinctive reaction, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly began to cough violently, followed by a burst of retching.

This is also a physiological reaction for the rest of life.

But fortunately, there was no major problem, and by the time the other investigators climbed onto the roof, he gradually recovered.

"I don't know what's going on, and I don't know how to explain it to you, anyway...... I almost died! ”

The investigator said with a sigh of relief.

"What? Are you under attack? But we didn't notice anything down there, huh? ”

"No...... They didn't attack me, but after I threw out the nets, they disappeared inexplicably, and then my body had a violent discomfort reaction, I don't know how to describe it, anyway, it was like dying once and coming back to life......"

"This ...... This is unheard of...... Are you sure you're not suffering from hallucinations, or curses? ”

One of the investigators asked as he took out a flashlight, which shook the net, and the investigator who cast the fishing net was dizzy and screamed.

"Hmm...... The physiological response is normal, nothing serious, maybe you are too nervous during this time? ”

"No, I'm in good shape today, so there's definitely something wrong with those two-headed monsters! It's a brand new breed like we've never seen before! ”

"Well, it looks like we really underestimated them before? That situation is beyond our scope and it should be left to the professionals of the Holy Inquisition. ”

The investigators discussed the strange incident and returned empty-handed.

And the former dean, who was taking the little milk cat, appeared out of thin air from the night and came to another street.

The little milk cat found a store on the street that had not yet closed, ran over for a while, and exchanged a basin of milk from the kind boss, snorted and licked it violently, and then meowed twice at the kind boss to express his gratitude.

Finally, he waved his furry little claws and said goodbye to the boss politely, bluffing others into a daze.

"Why is this cat so smart?"

The boss was very surprised and said that he wanted to feed the little milk cat some dried fish, but as soon as he turned around, the little milk cat disappeared.

After eating and drinking, the little milk cat became unenergetic, and could only lazily float next to the head of the chopped pepper fish, and its round head pecked one by one, and wanted to sleep.

"Sleep, sleep."

As he spoke, he put the little cat on top of him, protected it, and then floated slowly towards Lloyd's residence.

Just floating, he felt a gaze cast from the direction of the city center, focused on himself.

The eyes are cold, rational, but humble and polite enough, conveying respect and greetings.

It was a greeting from the Sanctuary of the Veto, welcoming the presence of the former Abbot.

"You don't have to be so polite, Professor Hiltina, just keep going about your business."

The former dean whispered a reply into the air, and then felt a slight change in his gaze, as if asking a question.

"Oh? Is that so? Okay, no problem, I still like Lloyd's kid, so I'll give him a little help, and I just want to go to the City of Illusion too. ”

The former dean continued to speak into the air, then shook the body of the toy again, and asked:

"What's going on with that network down there, that end point it connects to? That area doesn't seem to be under your control? ”

As he spoke, his toy eyes turned in the direction of the ruined city.

From the distant line of sight, he changed his gaze and answered in a way that ordinary people could not understand.

"Is that so? You're a bold idea, and you're a maverick kid, as Hazled's description puts it...... Well? Don't worry, I won't interfere in your business, just ask. ”

"As for Lloyd, of course I am very optimistic about him and I am willing to believe in him, after all, even my old friend who is above the top has chosen him...... But there is always a problem in him that makes me feel uneasy, I believe you can realize what it is, right? ”

"Oh? Looks like you have a lot of faith in him, don't you? That's fine...... After all, I'm a dead man from the past, this is your time, and of course I will respect your own choice......"

"Hmm...... Well, let's do it first...... Oh yes, I remember to talk to Lloyd and ask him to find my body, it would be good for him and for you, but I don't know why he was so resistant to it? ”

"I see...... Sticking to principles is indeed a valuable quality, no wonder you think that he will be able to maintain his self-awareness as a human being, and hearing you say this, I have more confidence in him! ”

"But let's let him find my body, we can tell him in another way, just to let my remaining consciousness live a little longer, then I think he should be able to accept it, right?"

"Haha, you're really complimenting me, in fact, I've never been a qualified teacher, and after taking over Mizkatok from my mentor, the former dean, I didn't make it develop, and in the end it left a mess, fortunately with Hazled......"

"In other words, who would have thought that a mediocre little teaching assistant could finally save the academy? Just like you now, you probably wouldn't have thought that Lloyd, who had just entered the school, would be able to save the academy, right? ”

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you, so be it."

After the former dean made eye contact with Hiltina with only one person talking, he continued to carry the kitten on his back and floated slowly towards Lloyd's residence.

Drifting over this way, passing by many houses, watching the people inside sleep peacefully in their dreams, the former dean sighed in a low voice:

"Although it is not as good as it was back then, human beings have persevered tenaciously and bravely met tomorrow...... Maybe that's what makes human beings so lovely and respectable? ”

"It's a nice city, it's a good time......

In the end, the former dean found the Lloyd siblings' apartment with unmistakable accuracy, and then floated into Lloyd's room through the window, and gently unloaded the little milk cat next to Lloyd's pillow.

Then he subconsciously glanced next door and found Ephrol, who was ensuring that the hammerhead shark puppet was asleep.

Oh? Actually the remnants of our time? And suffered some kind of strange curse on his body, and he will never grow up?

The former dean was thinking to himself in his heart, and suddenly shook the head of the toy fish again, and said:

No, it's not a curse...... It's more like ......

Price?

As if sensing something, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

It wasn't until a long, long time, when it was almost dawn, and Lloyd was about to wake up, that he sighed in a low voice:

"If it's as I guessed and expected, humans should really thank this cute little girl......"

With that, he noticed another abnormality in Everol.

"Looks like Professor Hiltina noticed her? And also using her as a model and anchor point, a division of consciousness was carried out? Hazleder certainly wouldn't dare to teach his students like this, it seems that Professor Hiltina chose it herself? ”

"That's a bold move...... These young people in the new era are really not to be underestimated! ”

……………………

When Lloyd woke up, he still didn't open his eyes and returned to the [Mind Domain], helping Hiltina share the mental pollution first.

Hiltina still hasn't come out of the bud, it seems that she is troubled by the matter of the [Supreme Realm]?

Soon, after reaching another level, Lloyd called out the panel and added the 10 attributes obtained through Eloro and Hiltina to [Spiritual Power] and [Cognition] respectively, for a total value of 805 points.

Although this kind of 'daily check-in' is not happy with many upgrades, it is better to be able to trickle down and accumulate a lot.

As soon as he came out of the [Thinking Domain], Lloyd really woke up, and smelled the unique milky smell of the little milk cat in his nose.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on my pillow and falling asleep.

"Huh? Was it sent back by the former dean? ”

Lloyd grabbed the kitten while it was still awake and wiped his face.

He had told the former dean his address, and he was not worried that he would not find it at all.

It's just that the former dean didn't know where he went, and he didn't see the pot of chopped pepper fish heads, so maybe he was still somewhere to appreciate the customs, right?

Lloyd was not in a hurry to find him, but still made breakfast for his sister step by step, and then woke up Ephrol, and while combing her hair, she admired her white silk feet that kept swaying back and forth.

"That'...... Xiaoyi, I'll go to the editorial office first, and if I have the chance, I will invite your classmate to come to my house as a guest. ”

Ephrol was still talking about it when she said goodbye to Lloyd.

As a result, as soon as she walked with her front feet, the window next to her back feet was opened from the outside by an invisible force, and then floated in with a chopped pepper fish head, and said again:

"This city is really vibrant and vibrant! I was out there for a while, and everyone on the street was hurrying to work, looking energetic, something I hadn't seen in a long time. ”

Lloyd smiled and asked rhetorically:

"Uh...... I thought you would feel their hard work and difficulty? ”

The former dean replied indifferently:

"What could not be so difficult about this? It is the greatest happiness to be able to live and work in peace, and although I have not witnessed the tragic situation of the twilight and the end of the world, I can still imagine the horror of that period. ”

"Okay...... How does that compare to the glory days of your time? What kind of life did ordinary people live at that time? ”

"Generous, comfortable, bright and carefree...... At that time, ordinary people did not need to worry about food, clothing and vitality, let alone worry about safety, even if they did not go to work, they could get ease and comfort, just like living in an ideal paradise. ”

The former dean described the past era, but instead of being proud and proud, he was full of deep helplessness, and immediately changed his words and said:

"But beneath these superficial splendours, there is a hollowness, numbness, and confusion...... Many people don't know what to do or what they can do in life, and can only pursue various physiological and sensory stimuli, and show a morbid and crazy tendency for this......

Only a small number of people can maintain their self-pursuit and do something normal and meaningful.

Although history has no assumptions and ifs, I still can't help but think, if the people at the beginning could have the same state of life and mental state as you are now, would it not be so miserable when facing the end of the world? ”

The question was so profound that Lloyd really didn't know how to answer it, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

But in his heart, he was still a little envious, according to the description of the former dean, wasn't that an ideal 'utopia'?

If those [brilliant gold] were regarded as 'gods' in the general concept, then it was still a utopia in which gods walked in the world, giving grace and protection to the world, and it should be the highest form of utopia, right?

It's a pity that it collapsed in the end, and it collapsed completely......

I don't know if today's human beings still have a chance to return to that glory?

Lloyd was thinking crankily in his heart, but the former dean thought that he was thinking about the question he had raised earlier, so he quickly changed his words:

"Okay, okay, don't think too much about the past, let's focus on the reality, let's start with today's tour itinerary, right? I'd love to visit the City of Vanity, and don't you want to visit the Sages there? ”

"Huh? How do you know? I don't think I mentioned this to you, did I? ”

"A professor who claims to be your fiancée told me that we had a brief exchange before."

The former dean explained, and then asked:

"But I remember, you said earlier that the little girl named Wei Ya was your lover? Hehe...... I don't have a lot of skills, but there are a lot of women? ”

Lloyd was suddenly embarrassed, remembering that the former dean seemed to have admitted that he did not have a girlfriend......

He had no choice but to forcibly divert the topic and take out the nameplate that Hiltina had left earlier.

"Ahem, let's say something else...... I do want to pay a visit to His Excellency the Manifestation Sage, and Professor Hiltina has left me his contact information, but I've tried it before, and nothing happens? ”

The former dean glanced at the nameplate and said with a little disdain:

"Isn't it normal for a basic and rudimentary communication device to be unresponsive? Let's go, why don't we go to that city of illusion and look for him? ”

"Well, you're right, but wait a minute, I'll buy a newspaper and go."

Lloyd said, quickly went downstairs to the newsstand to pick up today's newspaper, and then skipped the meaningless headlines and went straight to the really informative bulletin board.

As a result, I saw a strange piece of news at first glance:

"Beware of the Dangerous Fish-headed Monster and the Kitten Monster"

Yes???

Lloyd hurriedly looked carefully at the description in the news.

Why is it so similar to the previous dean and the little milk cat?

One is odd looking, can fly, can talk, and molest young women?

One is well-behaved and cute, can fly, meow, and use his appearance to bewitch young women?

It would be fine if it was just that, but later in the news, an investigator suddenly suffered a 'near-death experience' during a search for monsters, but fortunately there was no danger to his life?

However, you still need to be careful not to approach without permission, and if you find out, be sure to contact the Holy Inquisition to deal with it.
