Chapter 2 Choice

Walking straight down the alleys of the Workshop's wooded area, I finally saw some living people, some of them were lightly poisoned paupers like him, and some were spontaneous rescuers with various breathing apparatus.

In a small alley around the corner, Jeno saw a group of orphans under the age of ten shouting something around a young girl, the noisiest place he had ever seen, unlike the lifeless streets.

The girl was exquisitely dressed, with a tunic white gauze pleated skirt and a wrapping leather coat, beige hair tied up with a ball head, and white ears exposed, she carried a canvas bag and a breathing mask, so that she could not see clearly.

"Everyone will get a face mask, line up well, don't rush!"

She was half-crouching by the wall, helping the yellow-skinned but energetic homeless children put on breathing masks, which seemed to be distributed for free.

It is rare for a kind girl from a wealthy family to be willing to volunteer as a disaster relief volunteer in the chaotic slum of Zu'an.

The girls were given face shields in order of age, and these children had never touched such a complex device, so naturally they could not help the girl share the pressure, and everyone needed her own help.

"That girl over there, come over here, too!"

The girl beckoned in Jeno's direction, and Jeno looked left and right for nothing else before realizing that she was calling herself.

It's strange, my body is obviously a man, why is it recognized as a girl? Is it because of malnutrition that makes you emaciated?

Jeno said that if he has the opportunity, he should take a good look in the mirror and know himself.

Jeno silently leaned over, he didn't have the money to scream, it would be great if he could get a breathing mask, so that he could take the mask to harvest the dead people's wealth, enter the houses abandoned because the master fled for his life, and with the money, he could barely survive in Zuan.

The girl's movements were fast, and it took less than ten seconds to remove the mask from her backpack and put it on for the children, as if she was racing against death. She had to hurry, some of the children had already had adverse reactions, began to cough violently, nosebleeds, dizziness and vomiting, but Jeno had only a slight sore throat.

This is most likely because of the crossing, after all, he has been poisoned once before, maybe the poison resistance has become higher after the crossing is reborn.

Soon, everyone except Jeno put on breathing masks and could breathe with peace of mind for the time being, but the threat of poison gas was still there, and no one knew what kind of damage those inhaled poison gas would cause to their bodies in the future.

"I'm sorry...... I thought the mask was enough, and there was nothing left when it was your turn...... I'm really sorry! ”

The girl came to Jeno in an anxious tone and bowed her head to apologize, she wanted to save Jeno, but the result was to let the other party stay in the poisonous fog for a few more minutes.

Another well-intentioned person who did something wrong, Jeno sighed that he was so unlucky.

"It's okay, I shouldn't be able to die."

Jeno shook his head and walked away, only to be grabbed by the arm.

"Don't go! I'll put my mask on you, and I'm about to leave Zaun, and I should be fine if I inhale a little bit of poison gas......"

As she spoke, the girl began to undo the buckle at the back of her head, trying to remove her breathing mask.

"You don't have to do that for a stranger."

Although Jeno didn't want to die, he didn't want others to risk death to save him, and even if he could survive the gas leak accident in Zaun, he would probably die of starvation or various accidents.

The poor of Zaun are not human.

His current desire to survive is not strong, and there is no belief that he must live, and he even feels that he may be able to return to his original world after death.

Perhaps Jeno's voice was beyond her expectations, and she realized that the long-haired Zaun in front of her was a teenager.

"Don't shirk, we have to hurry."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then took off the mask and put it on Jeno's face.

In that moment, Jeno saw her face clearly, frowning slightly, fair and delicate, with azure pupils like a clear spring, if you ignore a few incongruous freckles, it can be said to be a very outstanding face.

But maybe it's because the people around you, including yourself, are dirty, and this illusion will appear under the background.

The girl walked around behind Jeno to help put it on, and the air intake of the mask still had the moisture attached to the girl's breathing.

"You're a nice guy, what's your name? Where did it come from? ”

Jeno didn't resist, he felt that he couldn't live up to the girl's kindness, and he wanted to live well with the girl's kindness, and asked the girl's name clearly, so that he would have the opportunity to repay it in the future.

"My name is Orianna Levik and I live at 29 Lambabo Street in Phi City, which is a workshop that is easily recognizable. If you need any help after this, you can always come to me. ”

As soon as the girl's voice fell, a voice suddenly appeared in Jeno's mind.

The absolutely cold voice, without any emotion, sounded like reading the lines on a stick.

"Make your choice:

1. Accept Oriana's mask, and the host will survive the danger at the cost of Oriana's poisoning. (Reward unknown)

2. Refusing to accept Oriana's mask will poison the host. (Elementary Hex Technique)"

The voice that suddenly appeared in his head didn't surprise Jeno, if he was directly poisoned as soon as he crossed over, then why did the system bother to let himself cross. The degree of his own poisoning has not deepened, and it is likely that it is due to the protection of the system.

Jeno knew the name Oriana, and it was undoubtedly the name that triggered the choice.

It was also because of this name that Jeno finally realized what a terrible accident he was in, and how terrifying the poisonous gas around him was, which only caused minor problems such as coughing, nausea, retching, and nosebleeds when it first entered the body...... However, in the body, internal organs will begin to fail, leading to various complications, the speed of failure depends on the amount of toxic gas, and in the later stage, a mental state similar to a rabies attack may occur.

Originally, the Orianna he knew was a robot, but that was the girl in the mood for love next to him, after being poisoned.

After being poisoned, Oriana's failing organs were replaced by her father with delicate clockwork mechanisms, and she was completely transformed into a robot except for her heart, because this was the only way to keep her alive.

The two choices represent two very different lives for Orianna in the future.

Jeno was just an ordinary person before the crossing, he was not treated badly by the world and was not treated very well, he forcibly put the mask back on Oriana, he had seen the wearing process so many times, and he had become proficient in wearing it by heart.

The reason why he chose the second option is that this poison gas will not kill quickly, but if it is slightly poisoned, there will be at least a few months of respite, as long as he grasps the opportunity, it is still possible to recover, and the rewarded Hextech is an alternative to cure, that is, after treatment, he may not be a pure human.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to die......" Oriana's voice came from behind the mask, and a pair of frightened eyes could be clearly seen through the lenses.

"If you want to save me, get out of here with me! Go sit back to Piltover on a scream! ”
