I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"What on earth...cough cough cough cough cough! vomit..."

The investigator who cast the fishing net was surprised by his inexplicable instinctive reaction, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly began to cough violently, and then retched.

This is also the physiological reaction of surviving a disaster.

But fortunately, it was nothing serious. After other investigators climbed onto the roof, he gradually recovered.

"I don't know what happened, and I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway... I almost died just now!"

The investigator said with lingering fear.

"What? You were attacked? But we didn't notice anything down there?"

"No... they didn't attack me. It's just that after I threw the fishing net, they disappeared inexplicably. Then my body had a severe discomfort reaction. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, it was like dying once and then again. As if alive..."

"This... this situation is really unheard of... Are you sure you are not suffering from hallucinations or curses?"

While asking, an investigator took out a flashlight, which made the investigator who cast the fishing net feel dizzy and screamed.

"Well... the physiological reaction is normal, nothing serious. Maybe you are too nervous during this period?"

"No, I am in good condition today, so there must be something wrong with those two monsters! They are a brand new species we have never encountered before!"

"Well, it seems that we really underestimated them before? That situation is beyond our scope, so we should hand it over to the professionals of the Holy Inquisition."

While discussing this bizarre incident, these investigators left disappointed and empty-handed.

On the other hand, the former dean appeared out of thin air out of the night with a little milk cat, and came to another street.

The little milk cat found a canteen that was still closed on the street. It ran over and rolled around for a while and acted cute. Then it got a basin of milk from the kind boss. It purred and licked it fiercely, and then meowed at the kind boss. Twice to express thanks.

Finally, he waved his furry little paw and politely said goodbye to the boss, leaving others stunned.

"Why is this cat so smart?"

The boss said in surprise. He originally wanted to feed the little cat some dried fish, but when he turned around, the little cat disappeared.

After eating and drinking enough, the little cat became lethargic and could only float lazily next to the pepper fish head, pecking its round head again and again, wanting to sleep.

"Sleep, sleep."

Chopped Pepper Fish Head said, putting the little milk cat on top of him to protect it, and then slowly floated towards Lloyd's residence.

Just floating, he felt a line of sight coming from the direction of the city center, focusing on him.

That gaze was cold, rational, yet modest and polite enough, conveying respect and greetings.

This was a distant greeting from the Veto Sanctuary, welcoming the former dean's arrival.

"You don't have to be so polite, Professor Hiltina, just keep busy with your work."

The former dean whispered in the air, and then felt a slight change in his gaze, as if he was asking some questions.

"Oh? Is that so? Okay, no problem. I quite like this boy Lloyd, so I just want to help him a little. It just so happens that I also want to visit the City of Illusion."

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

"What's going on with the transportation network under this city and the end point it connects to? That area doesn't seem to be under your control?"

As he spoke, his toy fish eyes turned and looked in the direction of the abandoned city.

The vision from the distance changed, and the answer was given in a way that ordinary people could not understand.

"Is that so? Your idea is really bold. It is just like Hazlade described, he is a maverick child... huh? Don't worry, I won't interfere in your affairs, I'm just asking casually. "

"As for Lloyd, of course I am very optimistic about him and am willing to believe in him. After all, even my old friend who has high eyesight chose him...but there is always a problem with him that makes me uneasy. I believe you You can realize what it is, right?"

"Oh? It seems that you have great confidence in him? That's fine... After all, I am a dead person in the past. This is your era. Of course I will respect your own choices..."

"Hmm...Okay, let's do this for now...Oh, by the way, remember to talk to Lloyd later and ask him to find my body. This will be of great benefit to him and you, but I don't Do you know why he is so resistant to this?"

"I see... Adherence to principles is indeed a rare quality. No wonder you think he will be able to maintain his self-awareness as a human being. After hearing what you said, I have more confidence in him!"

"But let him find my body. We can tell him in another way, just to let my remaining consciousness live for a while longer. Then I think he should be able to accept it, right?"

"Haha, you are really complimenting me. In fact, I have never been a qualified teacher. After taking over Mizkatok from my mentor, the former dean, I failed to make it develop. In the end, it left a lot of mess. Fortunately, Hazred..."

"In those days, who would have thought that an ordinary little assistant could save the college in the end? Just like you now, you probably wouldn't have thought that Lloyd, who had just enrolled in school, could save the college, right?"

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you anymore, that's it."

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

Along the way, I passed by many private houses. Seeing the people inside sleeping peacefully in their dreams, the former dean sighed in a low voice:

"Although not as good as before, human beings still persisted tenaciously and bravely faced tomorrow... Maybe this is the cuteness and respectability of human beings?"

"It's such a nice city, it's such a nice era..."

Finally, the former dean accurately found the apartment of the Lloyd siblings, then floated into Lloyd's room through the window, and gently placed the kitten next to Lloyd's pillow.

Then he subconsciously glanced at the next door and found Everol making sure the Hammerhead Shark puppet was asleep.

oh? Are they actually the survivors of our time? Has he suffered some kind of weird curse and will never grow up?

The former dean was thinking secretly in his heart, and suddenly shook the toy fish head again, and changed his words:

No, this is not a curse... more like...

cost?

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

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

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