I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

As the train sped along, Metis's eyes went dark at first, and then several simple icons appeared.

They are diamonds, question marks, 'X's, bubble boxes, stick figures, a spring-like spiral, and a shield.

It feels like it represents several extraordinary systems?

But what does that spiral mean?

These simple icons are first gray and dark, and then light up one by one from left to right, as if they are walking into a degree bar.

Even when it came to the final shield icon, it stuck for a while, half-lighting up at first, and then fully lighting up after a few seconds.

Then Metis felt that his vision suddenly opened up. From the dark and narrow train to a beautiful lakeside, his naked feet stepped on the soft lawn, feeling a little itchy, and he relaxed inside. Feeling relaxed and happy.

And just not far from this lakeside, there are all kinds of scenery, such as oasis in the desert, blue coast, towering snow-capped mountains, quiet groves, and even clean and tidy trails, exquisite and gorgeous. Small villas, magnificent palaces and so on.

This large number of landscapes with different styles are roughly piled together, and their aesthetics conflict with each other, making them look particularly strange and permeating.

"This...what kind of place is this?"

Metis asked quickly.

"This is the rest area. You can relax here and enjoy the surrounding scenery. You can heal your injuries and restore the spiritual energy consumed earlier. If you have accumulated mental pollution, you can also eliminate it here."

Lloyd explained.

"No... I understand the truth, but why do you want to pile all these scenery together? Can't you move them a little farther away?"

"Well... it's mainly for my sister to check in and take photos later... My sister has short legs and can't walk fast. I'm afraid of tiring her."

Metis: “???”

She was confused and had no idea what Lloyd was talking about.

Is this some kind of Mizkatok slang? 'Sister' is a pronoun?

Just as she was thinking about it, she felt that the spiritual energy she had previously consumed in her body was actually recovering quickly?

In the previous scene, although they were very weak enemies, Metis still spent almost one-third of his spiritual power to clear the level without any damage. This is a typical lack of actual combat experience and inability to allocate combat resources. Performance.

Although she has executed a lot of monsters, that is two different things from actual combat.

The one-third of the spiritual energy that was originally consumed would take about a day to return to its original state based on Metis's qualifications.

But she only stayed by the lake for two or three minutes, and her spiritual power recovered.

By the way, some of the physical strength consumed by walking and the sore wrists caused by playing with guns have also recovered. Even the skirt and feet with some blood stains have been cleaned up, which is very magical. .

"Should he have recovered?"

Lloyd asked.

After getting a positive answer from the other party, he continued:

"Then let's go to the next scene, which is also the last scene of this round of testing. Due to time constraints, I have only constructed these three scenes."

Metis asked curiously:

"Okay, but...how come your [False Trial] is different from what I learned in the student handbook? Although I haven't found out what the trial is like, everyone thinks it will be very dangerous. ,Very hard."

"That's because mine is just a youth beta version, and it will be adjusted later, so you have to help me test it."

"Ah."

Metis nodded and agreed without hesitation, but then he thought about it and wondered if he had agreed too quickly? Will it appear that I am too talkative?

Then will he come to me for anything in the future?

Forget it, even if you want to be a bad woman, you can also be a bad woman who is willing to help others.

After some random thoughts, her vision went dark again, and the previous icons appeared again, starting to light up one by one from left to right.

Then, she came to a space like a secret room.

A set of compass-like circles were drawn on the floor, with three 'people' written in gold standing beside them.

One of them is still written in bold font, and is obviously fatter than the other two.

After seeing Metis come in, a bubble box appeared above the head of the fattest 'person':

"This level will test your positioning skills by listening to sounds. You sit down in the center and throw five copper coins one after another... Do you understand?"

"what???"

Metis was confused and a little at a loss.

But she felt an invisible force pushing her all the way to the middle of the secret room and sat on a futon in the center.

Then his eyes were blinded by that power, and he couldn't see anything, even if he turned on his spiritual vision.

Even the inspiration was blocked by that power, and nothing could be seen at all.

Probably to prevent others from cheating?

Metis was wondering, and vaguely felt that the fattest 'man' wanted to throw something on the ground.

But the problem is, in this place where all speech is done through bubble boxes, how do you listen to the voice and identify the location?

Metis: “…………”

As a result, the next second, she felt something hit her head. She suddenly felt dizzy, and her brain and eardrums felt stinging.

Then, that thing actually started to get into his head?

Forbidden knowledge? !

The previous sting was caused by the mental pollution caused by forbidden knowledge!

Metis immediately understood the danger of this scene.

But before she had time to think about it, she felt that the mental pollution in her brain was quickly dissipating. It dissipated before it had any chance to have any impact on herself, leaving only clean and simple knowledge.

Before Metis had time to check what kind of knowledge this was, he felt that the fattest 'man' had thrown something on the ground again.

As a result, no sound was made.

"Listen...can't hear clearly..."

thump~

Metis felt another wave of forbidden knowledge hit her forehead, making her scream in pain.

The mental pollution was quickly eliminated, and it still did not cause any substantial harm.

But Metis was still a little unhappy and said coquettishly:

"There's no way you can complete this trial!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a third stream of forbidden knowledge hit her on the head.

"Oh oh oh oh! Oh..."

Metis couldn't help but let out a yelp.

At this time, the strange force that blocked her sight and blocked her inspiration finally disappeared, and she could see the words "You passed" written in the bubble box above the fattest 'person'.

"What are you doing here?"

Metis said angrily.

It wasn't until the trial was over that Lloyd sneered and said:

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. In this scene, the mental pollution will be eliminated soon. It's just a matter of simply accepting some knowledge. There will be no danger."

"Humph!"

Metis once again put on an air of being uncoaxable.

"Okay, okay, the test is over. Come out first. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, okay? I made it myself, how about it?"

"Humph……"

Metis' attitude softened slightly.

Although she has always been a bad woman, she has never been a stingy bad woman.

I was imagining what the food made by Lloyd would taste like?

While she was thinking wildly, her vision went dark again, but the previous icons no longer appeared.

Then, my body felt like it was spinning and weightless again, which was similar to when I came in.

However, when her vision returned, what appeared in front of her was not Lloyd's luxurious dormitory, but a desolate land...

On the distant horizon, a black wave could be seen sweeping towards her direction.

There was a large thick dark cloud in the sky, almost hitting the ground.

Next to Metis, there were some warriors in armor who were actively setting up defense lines to prepare for the impact of the wave.

Metis instinctively felt the danger and quickly asked:

"Where...is this place? Didn't it say that the trial is over?"

However, this time, Lloyd did not respond to her.

Before Metis could react, the heavy dark clouds in the sky suddenly began to rain.

No, that's not rain, but flying monsters like raindrops!

Some were alienated mosquitoes, some were alienated locusts, and monsters transformed from various flying creatures, which gathered into a dark cloud of death and fell towards Metis' defense line.

"Watch your head!"

Metis heard someone shouting in a language he didn't understand.

The soldiers on the defense line wearing sci-fi-style armor raised their weapons to fight against the enemies in the sky.

Metis, on the other hand, looked a little frightened and froze in place, not daring to move.

It wasn't until a locust-like monster noticed her dumbfounded and rushed towards her that she came back to her senses and subconsciously raised her hands to fight back.

But it's too late...

The locust monster came to her in an instant and passed through her body.

"what!!!"

Metis suddenly let out a scream and suddenly sat up from the sofa.

She first looked down at her hands, then at her uninjured body, and then she saw Lloyd squatting beside the sofa, looking at her with concern.

For a moment, she no longer cared about reserve or distance, and threw herself into Lloyd's arms regardless, her delicate body trembling non-stop.

"Sorry, there was an unplanned incident."

Lloyd gently rubbed her head with one hand, caressed the delicate pink back with the other, and said seriously.

Metis stayed in his arms for a while, then slowly left Lloyd and asked:

"What was that last scene before?"

"A piece of past history, a scene of human struggle in the last days."
