Chapter 34: The Crazy Mouse
Brothers should have been warm when they met - even if this kind of kindness hurt each other, a brief embarrassment should have been pleasant.
However, the arrival of an uninvited guest shattered this atmosphere.
"Dudu Lose Lose Lose ~ I found you!"
"Who?"
Nick and Wen both turned at the same time, but the shadows swept away, and there was no one behind them.
“……”
Something is wrong!
This is definitely not an illusion, otherwise there would not be two people turning around at the same time.
There is no shortage of pretending to be ghosts in Zuan - although there are many liars here, there are very few fools, and most of the pretending ghosts will be punctured because of the special methods they need, but this kind of situation without a trace is the first time the two of them have seen each other.
So, Nick subconsciously pressed the tattoo on his shoulder and begged for Cana's protection - and this time, the breeze hit and he felt as if he was being wrapped in the wind.
An inexplicable, soul-like horror made Nick subconsciously choose to dodge, and the next moment, a bottle of unknown material exploded at Nick's position just now.
An unidentified dark green liquid splattered everywhere, and this strange liquid seemed to be intensely corrosive - but thankfully, the wind protected Nick and Wen.
In the shadows, a clumsy guy finally revealed his true face.
One...... Big rats?!
Torn robes, sharp beaks, wide, bloodshot eyes, and a crossbow of unknown material in his hand (or forepaw).
Obviously no more than 1.5 meters tall (in fact, his height is 144 centimeters), but the eyes of this guy looking at Nick and Wen were full of contempt.
Despised by rats......
But Nick and Wen didn't have time to get angry—the two brothers were reacting in unison right now—run!
Such a big mouse, do you want me to go up and just face it?!
I'm a logistician, not a combat unit!
"You've moved my darling—I'll get them back!" The rat pinned its gaze on Nick, "Tucci is angry! ”
Watching the enemy in front of him start fleeing, the rat became irritable, and he shook the crossbow to make the liquid in the chemical reaction bottle as the power source mix more evenly, then aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
Poisonous arrows flew like lightning towards Nick.
Nick heard the sound of crossbow strings and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the thick hazmat suit limited his ability to move, and the dodge failed.
Luckily, with the help of a sudden gust of wind, the arrow deviated from its intended trajectory, deflected just as it was about to hit Nick, and then nailed to the wall with a thud.
"Thank you, Jana!" Nick muttered under his breath, then quickened his pace, "I wish I could escape from this monster's clutches." ”
Then, the next moment, Nick was stunned to see a bluebird fly into the sewers—with a light breeze.
"...... Cana"
……………………
After being brought back to Zaun by Rhodes, Cana quickly threw herself into her own work.
Rhodes selectively concealed the fact that he was the cause of the war, and told Cana about the current battle between the Alchemist Baron of Zaun and the Noxians, and his idea of creating shelter by digging sewers, which was supported by Cana.
So, while Rhodes went out early and returned late every day to add fuel to the battle between the Alchemy Baron and Noxus, Jana focused on the construction of the sewers.
Watching these people build and clean up was a source of great satisfaction for Jana - even though the breeze in a complex place like the sewers couldn't blow away all the poisonous gases, Jana did everything she could to keep it safe.
If it weren't for Jana's Zephyr Guardian, there would be no way to protect the safety of these builders by relying on gas masks alone.
And today, Jaana suddenly heard the voice of prayer - someone prayed for her help!
didn't have time to figure out what the situation was, so Cana turned into a blue bird as soon as possible and rushed to the scene of the incident.
A rat on the move!
Cana feels like she should teach him (or rather) a lesson!
Under Nick's incredulous gaze, Bluebird transforms into a goddess with a staff in hand, smashes the end of her staff to the ground, and then with the staff as the center, a howling wind spreads through the sewers, splattering sewage and debris.
Tucci, who was laughing nervously and pulling the crossbow trigger to fire frantically, was blown back a few steps by a sudden whirlwind and smashed directly into the wall.
The strong wind pressure forced Tucci to give up the idea of continuing to shoot and began to think about how to get out.
"Hmm, it seems like stealth is a good idea?"
But before Tucci could enter the stealth, the wind stopped......
Cana's mana is depleted.
Although Ike began to promote Cana's faith among the Zaun fans as planned, her followers are still pitifully small - in this case, although her divine power has recovered, she is unable to suppress Tucci for a long time, and the whirlwind just now is a little too strong, and now Cana needs to recover her state......
"Get out of here!" Cana waved her hand at Nick, "It's not something you should be involved in right now!" ”
Nodding, Nick chose to leave directly.
This is Zaun, not Demacia - a temporary retreat is not cowardice, more often than not.
Wearing a thick protective suit, Nick obviously can't help, and even needs to be distracted by Jana to take care of him, in this case, the best option is to leave.
However, just as Cana turned around to say something, the mouse suddenly disappeared.
Trace!
"Ran away, still ......"
Cana can't make an accurate judgment.
The wind in the sewers would soon become dirty, and Jana couldn't get the right feedback, and now she was in a bit of a dilemma.
At this moment, Cana, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly heard an extremely obscene sentence.
"Watch your step~"
Cana looked down and saw a mouse looking up at her—from its point of view, it should be looking at its legs...... in the middle.
Of course, as a mouse, Tucci doesn't have any crooked intentions, and his scarlet eyes are a good indication of his state.
It's not about the burning of lust, but of the excitement.
"Sewer kebabs – there's something for everyone!"
————————
Tuqi, the source of the plague, is a mutant rat created by alchemical sewage from the sewers of Zu'an, and its official height is 4 feet 9 inches, or 144 centimeters.
Tucci was able to make what he wanted from all sorts of strange raw materials in the sewers, and although the crossbow in his hand had strings, the main power was chemistry - who knows how chemistry made kinetic energy, but Tucci did.
