Chapter 177: Piltover's Last Hope
There was not a single sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The whole city of Piltover was like a pool of dead concrete, silent.
Jace couldn't hear anything other than the sound of each black fireball breaking through the sky after it spawned.
Anxiously pounced on the nearest person enveloped in black flames, Jace wanted to see what was going on, but before he could touch the black flames, the scorching heat burned him no further.
"This ...... What the hell is going on......"
Looking around blankly, Jace looked for someone like him who had broken free from the black flames.
"Is anyone still alive?!"
His loud shout cut through the area shrouded in darkness and swayed into the distance.
"Researcher Jace?"
At the helpless pass, Baker's voice sounded from not far away.
After a little rest and treatment, Baker was no longer in any serious trouble at this time. But with the mechanical armor destroyed, he now has no means of attack or defense.
Seeing Baker walk around the black flame pillars that stood in place and walk towards him, Jace took a deep breath.
"Did you just be dragged into a very strange illusion?"
Baker was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that illusion, my parents are still alive, and my first thirteen years of life were happy and happy......"
Hearing this, Jace was stunned.
"In other words, Charles's purpose is to prepare all the people to fall into the beautiful illusion he has created, and then devour their souls?"
After a moment of silence, he continued to ask Baker, "And how did you break free from that illusion?"
Baker chuckled.
"It's a beautiful life, but it's not real. No Mother Eletty, no younger siblings, no ...... There's no Tiffany there, and that's not what I want. ”
Both fell silent at the same time.
"Eh, Beck, and Researcher Jace. ”
Just as they were thinking about something, another voice rang out.
Surprised to look back, I saw Gary touching the back of his head, walking in their direction.
"Gary?"
Seeing that this person who broke free from the black flames and did not fall into Charles's illusion, Baker also felt a little surprised.
"You...... How could you escape such a dream?"
"Eh, is that really a dream?"
Gary blinked and smiled embarrassedly, "Ah, actually, I still believed it at first. A world where the eldest brother and the second brother don't exist really feels a little good.
But ah, the little Baker in that fantasy is still the same, and he is still begging me to bully him...... It made me a little suspicious, and then I came out. ”
"Your way of breaking out of the illusion is also chic......"
Jace smiled helplessly, then looked worriedly at the black flame pillars that stood motionless around them.
"Now it seems that there are only three of us who have come out of the illusion. ”
The number of black soul balls that shot into the air continued to increase, all of them piercing through the darkness that enveloped Piltover and gathered towards a location outside the city.
"The black flames were too hot to get close, and forcibly pulling them out of the flames didn't know if it would do them any harm. ”
Jace frowned, and turned his head to look at the large black-and-red pillar of light directly in front of the three of them.
"All we can do now is destroy this circle. Otherwise, Piltover's millions of people, whether nobles or commoners, would have ended up in ashes. ”
Baker nodded, and was about to say something, but he heard a sharp mouse squeak in his pocket.
After shooting Victor's flesh, Tucci, who had transformed from a rat-man into a hamster, sprang out of his upper pocket and stood on his shoulder.
"Huh?"
Baker was stunned again, then smiled with relief.
"It seems that there are more than three of us who are still awake. ”
The hamster-like Tucci stood on his shoulder, making a 'I'm strong' motion, and then, wrinkling his nose, sniffed quickly in the direction of the black-red concern.
However, after a while, he seemed to have thought of no good solution, and his body slumped down and lay on Baker's shoulder, looking powerless.
Jace glanced at the little hamster, raised his Hextech transformation cannon, and in the direction of the black and red pillar of light, it was a blast of electric energy.
However, before his blue cannon could touch the pillar of light in the center of the circle, it was blocked by a black-red barrier rising from the edge of the giant circle.
"Can you just wait?!"
Seeing this, Jace let out a low roar of reluctance, his face full of despair.
The black flame pillars around him were constantly turning into ashes, and more and more black fireballs were generated after extracting the souls of these people, gathering towards the outside of Pi City.
Baker also sighed helplessly.
According to Heimerdinger's words, even if this strange scene did not happen, this circle could not be destroyed by man.
Now, with only the three of them now, there is no way to take this magic circle at all.
Gary looked at the dejected appearance of the two of them, touched the back of his head, and said honestly: "That, although I feel that it is a little inappropriate to say this now, but ...... Have you forgotten someone?"
Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.
Baker seemed to remember something, and said sluggishly: "Gary, you mean ......"
Gary nodded: "Although I was just fished out of prison by the eldest brother and the second brother, and I don't know much about the whole thing, but, Tiffany, isn't she still fighting that Charles outside the city?"
Baker couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"If this is the Charles who started everything, then as long as Tiffany defeats Charles in that place, won't all of this be able to restore peace? ”
After listening to Gary's words, Baker's eyes gradually lit up.
However, after a moment, he thought of something again, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"Now it feels like Charles is using his last cards...... Tiffany & Co. ...... Don't know Tiffany she...... Whether or not they will survive is still a question......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the squeak of Tucci's rat on his shoulder squeaking sharply.
As if protesting, the little hamster bit Baker's shoulder hard, and then, holding his chest high, pointed to the jumping and flashing pink light stick on his chest.
"You mean, Tiffany is still alive?"
Tucci nodded, his front paws raised, and stood on Baker's shoulder, making a gesture of a fight.
Jace's gloomy face also improved slightly.
Closing his eyes, he sighed helplessly.
“…… Piltover's last hope?"
