Chapter 564 This time the surprise is a little smaller
After pausing for another half a minute, Lloyd reached into the storage bag and took out two cartoon figurine toys. They were cute two-headed bald figurines, and they looked adorable, a bit like students from the magic department.
After injecting some spiritual power from the backs of the little men with his fingers and twisting their heads a few times to wind up the springs, one of the little men's head, which was larger than its body, lit up like a high-wattage light bulb. After being thrown into the dark meeting room below, it immediately illuminated the surroundings again.
The other little man's neck was twisted a few more times, turning on another lighting mode. Then the little man's eyes shot out two circles of light like a strong flashlight, illuminating far away, and Lloyd held it in his hand and used it as a flashlight.
He planned to see which teammates were not in good condition and then go to dazzle them!
In addition to these two daily functions, if you inject more spiritual power and twist more circles on the neck, the light emitted by this cartoon bald man can also dispel and kill evil spirits, ghosts and other monsters. It is a very practical engineering design.
At this time, after a long silence, the team channel finally heard a cry of surprise from someone who had tried his best to control his emotions:
"This... What a terrifying weapon, what a terrifying high temperature... This is really... Really... Sorry... I don't know how to describe it anymore..."
"What's even more terrifying is that there's not even a hint of fire or explosion, but it can emit a high temperature that can melt metal and walls... What's the principle behind this? Why is it so powerful?"
"If there were no translucent barrier in front of us to protect us, we would have melted in an instant like those people, right? Hiss~ The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. I'd better not use this big treasure carelessly..."
"Teacher Lloyd, didn't you tell us before that this is the weapon you Mizkatok use for self-defense? Do all the people of Mizkatok use this terrifying weapon for self-defense?"
Anyway, these four guys kept calling him "terrible" and looked like they had never seen the world before. Lloyd felt helpless and amused. He could only risk violating school rules and explain:
"How could I lie to you? This thing is designed to be a self-defense weapon. Even its name is called [Self-defense Non-polluting Incendiary Bomb]. What other weapon could it be?"
Old York did not rush to refute, but just followed the topic and asked:
"No... Please allow me to ask, let's assume this is a self-defense weapon, then what is your main combat weapon or strategic weapon?"
"You mean, our strongest weapon, Mizzikatok? That's naturally passion, courage, friendship, bonds, love, hope, and possibility."
Lloyd said casually.
"Ah... Mr. Lloyd, are you kidding me?"
"How is it possible? We at Mitzkatok have always been a neutral and pure academic institution. How could we possibly possess such barbaric and crude things as main battle weapons and strategic weapons?"
"Okay... I'm sorry for being so abrupt. I almost forgot about your mysterious school rules. I shouldn't have asked..."
Old York could only say helplessly.
The investigator Bai Yueguang let out a long sigh and then said:
"Yeah, no matter what, I finally got rid of the anger in my heart! I really just...almost couldn't control myself."
The other two investigators followed suit:
"Haha~ I feel the same way. Even though I killed a lot of people, it was really satisfying! These scumbags died so comfortably! If conditions allowed, I would definitely send them to do hard labor one by one!"
"So what Mr. Lloyd said is right. When encountering such a thing, it is definitely better to do it yourself to resolve the evil in your heart."
With this casual chat to ease the atmosphere, the moods of the other members of the team also relaxed and they were no longer as silent and solemn as before.
The brief silence they had before was not only because they were shocked by the power of the self-defense incendiary bomb, but also because the auditorium below, which had gathered more than a thousand people, was reduced to ashes in just a moment...
Although these people did not scream, and there were no corpses scattered all over the ground or rivers of blood, they were, after all, only investigators handling abnormal incidents, not butchers or executioners. Killing so many people in one breath would inevitably affect their mentality.
This is actually the reason why Lloyd did not do it himself before, but handed the "trigger" to his teammates.
As a supernatural being, you cannot kill too many people. Even the traitorous advisor insists on this principle.
Fortunately, the teammates did not complain about anything. Instead, they were very grateful to Lloyd for giving them this opportunity. They even felt that these people died too easily and it was too cheap for them!
These anthropomorphic creatures really deserve to die!
In fact, the temporary team had already ambushed in place earlier and overheard a lot of conversations below -
Those who drag their parents, siblings, relatives and friends into the fire pit are considered to be of mild offense; there are also various acts of coercion and inducement, forcing people of good quality into prostitution; there are even cases of persecuting others to the point of breaking up their families and leaving them with nowhere to go, and finally being forced to jump into the fire pit of this evil cult.
What's even more hateful is that these people committed such unscrupulous acts not because of anyone's request or any performance evaluation, but purely out of their own initiative to prove that their faith is strong enough, and they are proud of it, just to show off to other cultists or to win some appreciation from the deacon.
The most outrageous one among them was that after hearing that the deacon liked young and beautiful female believers, he framed and falsely accused his business partner, causing him to be thrown into jail. In the end, he took possession of his wife and daughter, and then brought the poor mother and daughter to the deacon.
Afterwards, the temporary team found some bone fragments in a small compartment in the deacon's residence...
So when the White Moonlight investigator heard that the cultist was still complacently showing off his evil deeds to others, he almost pulled the trigger on the spot.
Fortunately, Lloyd woke him up in time, otherwise there would be no chance to save the young man in front.
At this moment, Old York was climbing down the rope ladder he brought with him, while asking in the "Team Channel":
"By the way, that reckless young man, do you want to wake him up?"
"I have brought him here."
Lloyd jumped easily into the auditorium, and then couldn't help but gasp.
Hiss~ The floor is still warm, just like an asphalt road under the 40-degree sun, it burns my feet!
I was deceived by the product manual again. It clearly said that the high temperature comes and goes quickly, and things will return to normal in just a few minutes.
Are these people reliable or not?
Following behind Lloyd was his [projection], and its sharp metal claws were still twisting the young man like a kitten.
This guy is really brave and has a strong sense of justice, but he is a bit stupid. He has just completed his [Enlightenment], but he dared to challenge an entire cult gang alone in such a situation...
Identified as someone who has read too many street novels...
If Lloyd and others had not been present, he would have been caught up and eaten alive by the Knight of the Church.
At this time, this guy was a little affected by Lloyd, and looked confused and half asleep. It was not until the [Projection] threw him to the floor that he jumped up because of the burn.
"Wow! It's so hot! Am I being roasted?"
"Not even close."
Lloyd said somewhat amusedly.
The young man looked back and remembered Lloyd. He said with a happy expression:
"Ah! Are you the Inquisitor who saved me just now? Thank you very much for your timely help. I didn't even have the chance to thank you before..."
"It's just a small favor... Just wait here and don't move. We will take you away soon."
Lloyd gave a simple instruction and called his teammates to head to the last area of the night, the altar at the deepest part.
The big iron gate that originally blocked this place has been baked into a half-melted "candle" by the high temperature, and a very wide crack has appeared. You can see what is inside at a glance without going in.
This place was exactly the same as what Lloyd had seen in the memory fragments before, with gold and jewels everywhere, and thanks to the protection of the heavy iron door, it had not suffered much damage and was still a magnificent treasure house.
However, Lloyd didn't care much about these yellow and white vulgar objects. Instead, he focused on studying the indescribable sculpture in the middle of the altar and began to compare and analyze it in his mind.
Hmm...it seems that my previous inference was correct. This sculpture has some similarities with the ones seen on the top floor of the museum, but not in appearance, but in craftsmanship.
Although I don't quite understand the specific craftsmanship, the one in front of me is obviously rougher, and there is no high-end stuff like the Blood of the Most High and Tears of the Stars inside. It is a more youthful version.
But even so, they are being worshipped like this by this group of anthropomorphic creatures. If they were replaced with the full version in the museum, wouldn't they be so excited that they would die instantly?
Fortunately... I had already smashed everything on top of the museum. No wonder that group of survivors were so angry and tried every means to find me.
Haha~ I advise you not to be anxious for now, because there will be plenty of things to make you anxious in the future.
After Lloyd pondered for a while, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Because he suddenly discovered that this sculpture actually secretly concealed a non-standard space passage?
The reason why it is defined as "non-standardized" is that its process is very rough and cannot even be considered a "blank". It is equivalent to the last big question in a math test, where only the word "solution" is written.
Anyway, if any student from the Space Department dares to give this kind of test paper to Lloyd, he will definitely be given a negative score and kicked out.
Such a rough space channel naturally cannot be opened normally. If you want it to be effective, you have to perform a series of complicated and troublesome operations on the other end, which should be done by the ancient survivors, and then it can operate for about two or three minutes.
It is also very narrow, very unstable and very unsafe. If you want to start it again, you have to go through the previous series of steps, which is very troublesome.
All in all, it's pretty rubbish.
It can also be seen from this that although the ancient survivors were ahead of Mitzkatok in the field of life form transformation, when it comes to the field of space, they are still thousands of years behind Mitzkatok.
No wonder they were helpless against the space loop that Lloyd had casually set up.
But now that this answer with only the word "solution" has fallen into Lloyd's hands, there must be hope.
With Lloyd's current attainments in the space system, plus his level 6 [Space Control] skill, even if there is only the word 'solve', it would be enough.
This 'solution' happens to represent the coordinates that are the most difficult to locate...
So Lloyd quickly asked the [Projection] to sweep all the treasures under his feet aside, clearing a space for himself, and then like a magic trick, he took out equipment one by one from the storage bag.
Finally, he took out a special lead can as big as a rice jar, which was specially used to store some liquids with high sealing requirements.
Different from the self-defense incendiary bombs he had taken out before, the ones he took out this time all had a special label on the surface, with a bloody skull on it...
At the same time, there are not only creations from the Engineering Department, but also many inventions from the Medical Department.
These are all random things I got because I couldn't find a place to spend my credits, so I exchanged them randomly, and now I can't find a place to use them later.
I finally got the chance today!
So Lloyd operated and set up the equipment himself, while releasing a lot of spiritual power, turning them into invisible big hands to process the medicines that could not come into contact with the skin.
At the same time, he opened the lead jar the size of a rice jar and stuffed all the adjusted things into it.
In the meantime, he also grabbed some unwanted diamonds, gold bars, jewelry, etc. on the ground to speed up the reaction of those potions.
Several teammates nearby were stunned and wanted to ask curiously, but were stopped in time by Old York.
"It's best not to disturb him at this time..."
"Uh... indeed... I feel that Mr. Lloyd is performing a very dangerous operation..."
"I'm afraid... this is an unusually dangerous situation..."
Old York also noticed the bloody skull labels on the equipment and potions.
It turns out that Lloyd didn't lie to me before. That incendiary bomb was really used for self-defense?
The white moonlight investigator was more concerned about the strength Lloyd showed in such details.
"His [Super Touch] looks unusually stable and precise? He can actually perform such complex and delicate operations? And he can also maintain several [Super Touch] at the same time?"
The [supernatural touch] he mentioned is actually that unique technique of releasing spiritual power. Because it is such a basic ability, this technique does not have a strict textbook name. It has different names in different places. Some are called [supernatural touch] and some are called [invisible hand].
Although it is very basic, it is very practical, especially for investigators. Many operations that are not convenient to do directly with hands require this skill. Therefore, this skill is a necessary ability for investigators and must be mastered.
However, even these investigators who have been in the industry for many years are not as proficient in using this technique as Lloyd.
"Isn't Mr. Lloyd too powerful? I can maintain three of these [Supernatural Touch] at the same time, which is almost the limit. His... must be at least ten, right?"
"What about Mr. York? You are good at this..."
"Don't be embarrassed if you laugh at me, but I'm not as good as him... Actually, since I've gotten older, I rarely go on missions myself, so this skill is a little rusty. I can only maintain four or five at most, right? It's not as stable and precise as his."
"Alas... the people of Mitzkatok are so terrifying. Not only are they far superior to us in terms of supernatural power, knowledge, and equipment, but even the basic abilities that everyone possesses are so solid. The gap is even greater than that between humans and dogs. It makes me feel inferior..."
"I think your description is not very accurate. Strictly speaking, the gap between us and him is so big that you can't even see it."
"Okay, okay~ You don't have to be so self-deprecating. I've also met other people in Mizkatok, and none of them are as powerful as Lloyd. There are probably not many people like him, even in Mizkatok."
"Okay, thank you for your comfort, Professor York... But then again, what is Professor Lloyd doing?"
"It's hard to tell, but it's definitely very dangerous."
"Why do I feel like he's assembling a bomb?"
In fact, it is true. Lloyd is actually assembling a small bomb.
Well, compared to the last time when it was made using the same method, giving the evil god's offspring a large and delicate one, this one can only be considered a small one, a small surprise.
It was also thanks to the fact that he was the one who presided over the entire counterattack of the evil god's descendants last time and had accumulated experience in this area, so he could do the same this time.
Soon, all the lethal equipment and potions in his storage bag were filled into the lead barrel.
There were spherical objects inside that were constantly flashing and counting down; there were colorful bottles of potion that were bubbling and boiling; there was some kind of gear device that was making a slight clicking sound; and there were several slightly smaller sealed lead boxes filled with miniaturized [Distortion] rituals.
Lloyd looked at the capacity of the barrel and it was obvious that it could hold some more, but he had no more stock on him, so this was the only way for now.
It seems that I am still too conservative. I should have bought more lethal equipment and less protective equipment...
Lloyd summed it up in his mind, then sealed the lead barrel and asked the [Projection] to carry it and came to the indescribable sculpture.
At this time, someone in the 'Team Channel' asked:
"Teacher Lloyd, are you going to blow up this sculpture? Do you need our help?"
"No, no, I just want to give them a little surprise."
