Chapter 196: I Think So Too
As Vi wrestles with Hilco's men, Catelyn wittily slams into the fragile pillar beneath the tall sign next to her. It successfully collapsed, falling down and splashing a cloud of dust, temporarily blocking Hilco and the others.
The two of them sped through the dim, filthy corners of the Underground City as Hilco led the crowd in pursuit.
"Gan! How many people! After Vi temporarily escaped Hilco's pursuit, she saw the blue smoke drifting from the tower. That was her agreement with Bang Bang, she once said to Bang Bang that no matter where she is, as long as she opens this self, she will definitely return to her.
But before Vi and Caitlyn could breathe a sigh of relief, they were uncomfortable to find that there were more people patrolling above than Hilco's lead, and there were people walking around almost everywhere they went. Although they don't look serious at all, there is still a certain danger of exposure!
However, they soon discovered that the people did not react at all when they saw them. Vi didn't know that these alchemy baron's subordinates had been told not to interfere in Hilco's affairs.
Some of them may have disobeyed, or they may have secretly defected to Hilco, but most of them still obey orders. After all, so far, the upper echelons still hold the power of life and death!
"Do you think our boss is ready to change the court?"
"Change the court? Which gate is there in the city other than Hilco? ”
"Huh? You don't know? It's the mechanic who came out of nowhere, followed by a big man. ”
"Yes, yes, there is a rumor that we are now scurrying around here like headless flies, which is what he requested."
"What is the change of court, the boss and Hilco are just a cooperative relationship, who do you look down on!"
"Yes, that's the alchemy barons, and Hilko has to give three points. Is there any well-informed description of the details. ”
"Hehe, where did the rumors come from, how do you believe it!"
Some people are disdainful, some are loyal, and some people are just watching the excitement. The difference is that everyone is paddling, after all, there is not even a specific goal in the first place.
Listening to the complaints and gossip of the passing crowd, Wei buzzed in his head. But now that he is being hunted down again, he is in a hurry to find the explosion, and he has no extra mind to think about Lin Jiu's situation.
And Caitlin, who knew that Lin Jiu didn't have much information and didn't know much about the bottom city, didn't react much to this information.
"Is this the world of high society?" For the first time, Lin Jiu officially stepped into the upper city of Piltover. Originally, the prison here was actually built on the edge, and after Lin Jiu came out, he came directly to the bottom city.
Wearing a suit of equipment, delicate leather armor, a belt, and a pair of simple, but elegant boots, Lin Jiu just put on a simple black windbreaker outside, and instantly integrated into this bustling city.
The Infinite Star was worn around his waist, and Lin Jiu perfectly transformed into an elegant gentleman.
Lin Jiu saw that he was in tune with the city, and couldn't help humming a little song happily. It's not because he has any good feelings about this city, but he just thinks that if he is replaced by Su Xiao, then his temperament is estimated to be the boss in Zu'an, how can he still disguise...... Phew, what a disguise, it's a gentleman.
The people of Leather City could not tell that someone had just come from the Bottom City, which they hated. The group of people in the bottom city have to use dirty words if they don't say a word, which is completely out of place here. And Lin Jiu never liked to swear very much!
Some bold girls frequently cast warm glances at Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu smiled and asked them for directions.
"The scenery here is still very good!" Lin Jiu sat on a high place and looked at the scenery in the distance. Jace is now a councillor and the star of Piltover, while Victor is still focused on the Hexcore.
Naturally, their experimental site is not something that can be inquired about by just looking at the residents here. Especially if Jace's lab had been stolen by Vi and Jinx before.
So Lin Jiu came to this place, and Victor often came to the place where he could relax. He was sure that time was running out, and Victor, who had made no progress in his own research, would come here from time to time. All he had to do was wait for the rabbit.
"Huh? Not that kid? On the edge of the pool below, a tall, emaciated figure with a half-masked mask looked up. Blocking his forehead with one hand, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, he was looking in the direction of Lin Jiu's side.
"That's ......" This place was only a few dozen meters above the ground below, and Lin Jiu instantly noticed that there was a gaze from below looking at him. I looked over and saw a familiar shape.
Of course, it was only this image that was familiar, and he did not communicate with this person.
Bang!
Lin Jiu fell straight down from above, and padded a few times on the wall to prevent him from landing too hard and splashing dust on himself.
Seeing such agile and agile skills, the eyes of the people below lit up.
"Alchemist Sinjid?" Although Lin Jiu was asking, he said in an affirmative tone.
"You know me?" Sinjid was a little surprised, he was hiding in this remote corner of the upper city, and almost no one would know him except Victor.
"Just came up from the Undertown, and I heard those alchemy barons mention it." Anyway, Sinjid has nowhere to go without a certificate now, so Lin Jiu just opened his eyes and said nonsense.
"How's Hilco doing?" Naturally, Sinjid wouldn't believe what Lin Jiu said. After looking at the people in front of him, he preferred to believe that he was born in a noble family rather than from the bottom city.
Lin Jiu: Did I say I was from Zu'an?
"Not good! Her sister, a daughter who has been adopted for many years, came to the door for revenge. Now they are chasing each other in Mandi City! Lin Jiu waved his hand and said as if he was chattering.
"Fandel's little girl who was adopted...... It's a pity! With that, Sinjid turned and walked towards the middle of nowhere, which led to his testing ground.
Lin Jiu smiled and followed behind Xin Jide and entered his biological research institute together.
Seeing Lin Jiu calmly looking at the large test tubes around him with curiosity, Xin Jide said lightly: "I thought that this kind of scene was unacceptable to ordinary people. ”
"I think so too!" Lin Jiu agreed with Sinjid's point of view and nodded in response.
Sinjid is also from the Bottom City, and the Shimmer Elixir is also researched by him, thinking that Lin Jiu is an important person in the Bottom City. Just let him visit and do his own research!
Lin Jiu's eyes seemed to have a light in his eyes, looking for his beloved "toy" in this research institute. Victor of this derivative world definitely studied with Sinjid for a period of time when he was a child, which means that Sinjid is not only an alchemist, but also a level of mechanics.
Sure enough, after a visit, Lin Jiu could find that most of the experimental equipment here was assembled by Sinjid himself with parts.
