It was a beautiful and ordinary day in Piltover. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The crisp chirping of birds in the window woke Jace on the bed.

After breakfast, Jace departed from his mansion in Piltover's North District and headed east to the port of Sungate.

In the early morning on the streets of Piltover, there are not many pedestrians.

With a smile on his face, Jace greeted everyone he knew.

Today, he was in a good mood.

The deep-diving mecha project he is responsible for is about to be successfully completed.

"You're too late, Jace. ”

At the entrance of a research institute on the edge of the harbor, a young man wearing thick glass glasses, holding a record board, was debugging something in front of a three-person tall mecha placed in the water.

Seeing Jace coming, he pushed his glasses.

Although he said complaining words in his mouth, his face was full of smiles.

"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered last night that there were a few mechanical parts that needed to be corrected, so I got up and revised the design drawings, so I slept a little late. ”

"Hmph, stupid nobleman. Can't you change it during the day?"

With a snort of arrogance, the bespectacled young man turned away, ignored Jace, and continued to adjust the mecha in front of him.

With a laugh, Jace patted him on the shoulder, handed him a stack of materials in his hand, and strode into the research club.

The man with the glasses was named Victor, a mechanical sequence researcher who had just been introduced to the Academy of Science and Magic a month ago.

Jace has only two words for him.

That is, genius.

When it comes to designing and building robots, Victor is a genius he's never met.

Moreover, in many ideas and ideas, Jace found himself and this man with glasses who always wore a tsundere look, and had similar, if not identical, ideas.

This is why he, who has never collaborated with other researchers, chose to take over this deep-diving mecha project with Victor for the first time.

"Jace, what you told me yesterday, I went back and thought about it, and I feel like you did have some point. ”

During lunch, Victor smiled and said to Jace, who was sitting across the table, "I really didn't think about erasing the fear of the mech pilots. ”

"yes, you're in too much of a hurry, Victor. ”

Swallowing the steak in his mouth, Jace elegantly wiped his mouth.

"Have you seen the drawings I gave you? According to the plan we discussed yesterday, if you install a surround penetration illuminator on the upper part of the mecha to illuminate the surroundings of the mecha in a deep diving state, you can greatly reduce the generation of fear among the pilots. ”

Hearing Jace's words, Victor nodded.

"I watched. And, according to the feedback from the pilots this morning, the results are really good. If we continue at this pace, the day after tomorrow or even tomorrow, we will be able to successfully complete this deep-diving mecha project.

Hehe, it's really nice to work with you. ”

Jace waved his hand absently and continued to stuff food into his mouth.

He had been busy all morning since the early morning, and he was indeed hungry.

"I'm glad you figured it out. You know, I was a little scared by you after you told me what you thought yesterday. ”

"Haha, don't care, don't care, I just suddenly thought of such a possibility. After all, if there is no emotion, the pilot will not have the emotion of fear, and the work efficiency will naturally be greatly improved. ”

Victor took a sip with a smile and an apologetic look on his face.

However, if there is no emotion, human beings cannot be called human beings. I'm sorry Jace, but don't take my whims to heart. ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Your thoughts are always a little jumpy, I'm used to it. As researchers and scientists, we always have to have some strange ideas, as long as they don't go against our original intentions for a better future for Leather City. ”

Shaking the fork in his hand, because the project was about to end successfully, Jace was in a particularly good mood at the moment.

"Honestly, working with a researcher like you is easy and enjoyable.

Unlike the clumsy and rigid nerds in the academy, working with them on projects, my kind of vigorous and resolute person will definitely be killed by them.

After the project of this deep-diving mecha is completely completed, let's work together Victor, I already saw it the day before yesterday, and the academy notice office issued a ......"

Looking at Victor's face, Jace was suddenly stunned as he spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Jace's expression, Victor asked suspiciously, "You don't look very good, did you not sleep well last night?"

His brow furrowed, and Jace's eyes were filled with confusion.

"No, I seem to feel ...... Now this scene ...... Somewhat familiar. ”

He put down the fork in his hand, took a deep breath and said, "I seem to have a feeling that we have discussed this issue in the past...... But...... It doesn't seem to be the result of such a treatment......"

"Isn't that the result of this treatment? What are you talking about, Jace, why don't I understand?"

Victor became even more confused.

Jace slowly got up and looked at Victor with a solemn expression.

"You, it seems, did not approve of my words, but continued along the wrong path......"

Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in his brain, and Jace picked up his head in pain.

"Who are you?!"

Hunched over, Jace yelled, "You're not Victor!! Victor...... Victor ...... Didn't choose the same path as me!!"

With a wave of one hand, Jace swept the plate on the table in front of him to the ground.

"Who the hell are you!? Why ...... Want...... Pretend to be my ...... Friend...... Who the hell are you?!"

Hearing this sudden noise, all the people in the cafeteria looked in the direction of him and Victor in surprise.

"Why...... To give me this feeling...... Clearly...... Obviously Victor has ......"

"Your best friend?"

A sneer rang out from in front of him.

Jace looked up in surprise.

The person standing in front of him was no longer the Victor with an ordinary face, wearing thick glass glasses, and always with a proud face.

"Charles?!"

"It's me. Hehe, I didn't expect you to be able to recover your will from my spiritual realm. Is it your lifelong obsession to persuade Victor back?"

Wearing Victor's clothes and a harmless smile on his face, Charles said indifferently: "However, it doesn't matter. After all, Piltover million souls aren't bad for you. ”

With that, the whole scene gradually collapsed, all the people and things around him were distorted and changed, and the city of Piltover, shrouded in darkness, appeared in front of Jace's eyes again.

A huge pillar of black and red light stood in front of him.

Jace froze where he was.

He gradually remembered that when he and the three nobles had just arrived in front of the Blood Curse Master Circle, a black fireball shot into this huge pillar of light, and then, darkness completely enveloped the entire city of Piltover.

Jace, who came back to his senses, hurriedly looked around.

I saw that those who came to this blood spell main circle with him were all wrapped in black flames at this moment, and they couldn't see what they were looking inside clearly.

One after another, black fireballs with strange faces flew out of the heads of these people, and flew out of the city like lightning.

And every time a black fireball with a human face flew out, that person's body gradually petrified and turned into powder all over the ground.

Quiescence.

Constantly people were drained of their souls, and their bodies silently turned into puddles of gray powder.

The silence of the whole Piltover was terrifying.
