On the spiral staircase of the secret room, because there was no light, only the sound of Elise pacing on high heels could be faintly heard in the pitch darkness.

Caitlin's mother's face darkened, she didn't expect Elise to be able to find the entrance to the secret room and skillfully open the mechanism, as if Elise were a regular visitor here.

Orianna said in a timely manner: "Auntie, this place has been discovered, are there any other exits?" Let's get out together! ”

"No, this is the construction site for all kinds of large weapons and technology, and the entrance is only a revolving staircase connected by an elevator, or the top canopy is opened, and we can leave on the Refik, but time will not allow us to escape on the Refik, so we have no way out."

Caitlin's mother replied to Oriana absentmindedly, still thinking about how to keep Orianna alive.

If Elise didn't see anyone when she came down, she would definitely search carefully, then with her god-level strength, she would definitely be able to find them and kill them together.

It is basically impossible for everyone to escape, and only by sacrificing anyone other than Oriana can it be possible to save the research results of Hex, which is at the forefront of Oriana and Picheng, and the flying battleship that has been painstakingly built.

With her hands clasped tightly on her trouser legs, Caitlin's mother took a deep breath, raised her head and said resolutely: "We can't leave safely without fighting the female demon Elise, and we can only have a chance of survival by fighting her to the death, so I hope everyone here can work together to fight until the last moment!"

There was a hint of sadness in Caitlin's mother's words, which showed that she had put life and death on the line. Her determination deeply shocked everyone present, and even though they were only researchers and shipbuilders with the exception of Oriana, they were deeply infected.

Although none of the defenders on the ground were any match for Elise, they were encouraged by Caitlin's mother to make up their minds to give it a go.

Orianna on the side looked worriedly at the researcher who was suddenly high-spirited, she knew Elise's strength very well, and they couldn't compete with Elise.

Naturally, Caiitlin's mother knew that they were hitting stones with eggs, and the forbidden demon gates, which could withstand the onslaught of hundreds of demigods, collapsed in an instant, and she almost foresaw their future.

Looking at the frowning Oriana, Caitlin's mother smiled kindly, "Child, come here."

"Auntie......" Oriana's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing her worry in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear of affecting the morale of everyone who had finally brought it up.

"Your mother, who died young, and I have been good sisters since childhood, just like you and Caitlin, you are my child in my eyes."

Kneading Oriana's sad face affectionately, Caitlin's mother gently cheered for Oriana and said, "So, as my child, you must learn to be brave and strong, and ...... later"

The tip of her nose was slightly sore, and Orianna felt the urge to cry, and there was a faint mist in her eyes. She held back her tears and asked, "Wait a while?"

"Later, you have to learn not to cry, learn to be silent, I also heard Caitlin say about your incarnation, it's not easy to be a child......"

Caitlyn's mother's voice was soft, like that of Oriana's mother, whispering to her dearest daughter.

"Auntie, I don't understand what you mean......" Orianna blushed with emotion, but she didn't seem to understand Caitlyn's mother's last words.

"You should have a lot of storage space in the inner bag of your clothes, right?" Caitlin's mother smiled.

"Hmm!"

"Let's put all these drawings and research results with you first!"

As she spoke, Caitlin's mother put everything in her and Caitlyn's father's white coat Hex's inner bag into Orianna's inner bag.

These are the brains of Caitlin's parents, how can she take them? Oriana said a little anxiously: "This is all your hard work, how can I ......"

"Okay, kid, let's not talk about this for now, that female demon is coming, and it's important for us to meet the enemy!"

With her right index finger against Oriana's lip in a silent motion, Caitlin's mother led the group out of the control room. However, before leaving, she used the buttons of the console to hide the flying battleship in a deeper enclosed space. The tiled floor is connected and stitched together with the surroundings, making it completely unrecognizable that this was the place where the flying battleship was docked in the past.

A cacophony rang out at the top of the elevator at the construction site underground, and Caitlin's mother knew that Elise had entered the elevator and that she was running out of time.

Immediately coming to her senses, Caitlin's mother stared at Orianna with wide eyes.

"Auntie......" Orianna had never seen such a look in Caitlin's mother's eyes, and she looked weak, thinking that she had done something wrong.

"Child, remember, no matter what happens next, you have to hold back, don't cry, don't make a sound, the future of Picheng Magic Technology depends on you and Caitlin, you must make good use of your father, as well as your uncle and aunt's design drawings and research results, I believe in you!"

As the words fell, Caitlin's mother burst into tears of grief.

Looking at Caitlyn's mother's cheeks that were suddenly crying, Oriana's eyes slowly dilated, her pupils shrank slightly, her thin lips opened slightly, and she suddenly thought of something!

"No!"

Suddenly stepping on the air, Oriana only felt that her whole body was light, and her body fell uncontrollably. She tried to use her polar ice magic to create icicles to hold her up, only to find that her magic had been sealed.

Looking at the shimmering Forbidden Stone on the surrounding walls, Oriana was in complete despair.

Falling heavily on the Refic's battleship, she could only limply look up at the slowly closing pedals in the sky, and the weeping cheeks of Caitlyn's mother's blessed smile.

Rumble!

Before Caitlin's mother could turn around, she, along with the rest of the research members on the pedals, was cut off from breathing air by Elise's magic as she stepped out of the elevator.

Far away, Elise's right hand slowly raised, and then gradually grasped it, except for Caitlin's mother, everyone above Orianna was pinched and exploded in an instant.

The bloody scene of blood splattered Orianna stupefied, and it was the first time she had seen such a cruel death since she became a human.

The pedals closed, and Orianna could only see Caitlyn's mother through the faint slit.

Elise dodged and appeared in front of Caitlyn's mother, who couldn't breathe. She directly stepped on Caitlin's mother under her feet, curled the corners of her scarlet mouth, and issued her demonic invitation: "I suddenly became interested in Piltover's Hextech, as long as you are willing to serve Shadow Island, I can spare you from dying, and let you enjoy the treatment of a high demon, except for the eight demon leaders of Shadow Island, you can send people to do your experiments at will, are you interested, human?"

Lifting the ban on the air, Elise leisurely admired Caitlin's mother, who was able to breathe.

"It must feel good to be able to breathe, right? Have you thought about your options? I don't have that much patience. ”

With another question, Elise twisted and stepped on Caitlin's mother's foot, putting some pressure on her.

Caitlyn's mother hated Elise and said, "Kill me, I won't go to the devil!"

"Look for death!"

The smile on Elise's face was instantly replaced by a hideous, twisted expression, and she kicked Caitlyn's mother's body to the ground with another kick, stomping on it in a frenzy.

Caitlin's mother was just an ordinary human being, how could she withstand such trampling?

Within a few moments, Caitlyn's mother's back was covered in horrific blood holes left by the sharp heels of her high heels.

Oriana below saw that Caitlyn's mother's face was suffering from pain at first, as if she didn't want her to see her in pain.

Caitlyn's mother's tightly knit brow and clenched teeth made Orianna burst into tears.

Just as Orianna was about to cry, Caitlin's mother smiled at the barely noticeable gap and lip-stack.

"Don't cry, don't make a sound, good boy......"

Although Oriana couldn't hear Catelyn's mother's voice, she could still tell what she wanted to say to her from the shape of Catelyn's mother's mouth.

At this moment, she finally understood why Caitlyn's mother had said things to her twice in a row that she didn't seem to understand.

Grief and despair filled her heart, and as Catelyn's mother's heart was brutally removed and pinched by Elise's right hand, Orianna felt hatred for the first time since she became a human.

Hatred burned like a fire in her heart, and Oriana's misty eyes stared at Elise's sickly face above the crack, as if to reflect Elise's appearance in the depths of her mind.

"Ahem, ahem......" Oriana covered her mouth tightly with her hands, trying not to make herself cry.

She's going to be obedient, listen to Caitlyn's mother, she's going to live, and then get stronger!

Above Elise kicked Caitlyn's mother's dead fish-like corpse and yawned wryly.

Glancing at the empty underground construction site, she easily destroyed the control room on the high platform, and then took a leisurely step to experience the elevator in Peel City before leaving.

Suddenly, an extremely unstable wave of energy sent a spatial vibration through the place where she had killed Caitlyn's mother.

Feeling the strange energy, a hint of surprise flashed in Elise's eyes, and she muttered, "The breath of time magic."

Immediately after, an unstable portal exuding the magic of time tore through the space and appeared in front of Elise.

On the other side of the portal, a figure holding a weapon shaped like a giant gun fluctuated with the unstable energy of the portal.

Under the shocked gaze of a red-eyed Oriana below, a dark blue-haired woman who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her slowly stepped out of the portal.
