Chapter 143 Goodbye Anomaly
The group walked through Zaun's intricate underground pipe system. Thanks to Jinx's guidance, they would have been lost long ago.
Occasionally, some stray zombies appeared, but they were easily dealt with by Rectors. He was sent by the wolf mother to protect her daughter and son-in-law, so his fighting skills were naturally impeccable.
At this moment, Rector pulled the spear that pierced the zombie's head out of the wall and fell behind the team.
At this time, Jace turned around and winked at him, then glanced at Lin Zizhi.
Rectors understood and walked behind Lin Zizhi. At this time, Lin Zizhi was thinking about other things and did not notice the hidden interaction between them.
The closer he got to the Hextech flying gate, the more uneasy Lin Zizhi felt.
He knew about the existence of the anomaly, and it was not surprising that Jace was attracted to it and went there.
This is the guidance of fate and the arrangement of God Victor.
However, Jinx's choice to go there was completely out of line with the plot setting. She was supposed to accompany Vandal to find Victor with her sister.
But now, he suddenly had the urge to lead a pair of councilors from Piltover back to the upper city. This obviously went against the logic of his character, and Lin Zizhi doubted whether there was any guidance from the god Victor.
But he had his own plans for following along, as he had once met Deus, the multiverse god from the Future Diary world.
He said that he had a similar aura to him, and Lin Zizhi suspected that he was once a messenger of a multiverse-level cosmic god.
Now that he wants to get his memory back, natural gods like Janna can no longer help him. According to the setting in "The War of the Two Cities", Victor can easily enter other people's hearts to find memories buried deep in their memories.
This is the ability he demonstrated when he helped Vandal find his humanity. He accurately called out Jinx's name, Baobao, and saw the scenes in Vandal's memory.
But Victor's transformation is risky, as his pursuit of glorious evolution will assimilate the minds of others.
God Victor seemed to see through everything and transcend the obsession with glorious evolution. Lin Zizhi wanted to try to see if he could get his memory back through God Victor.
At this moment, Jayce, carrying his hammer, seemed a little bored and started to chat with Jinx: "Jinx, you are a native of Zaun, right? Do you know what happened in Boreal?"
"Is there any need to ask? The virus created by some crazy alchemist was leaked." Jinx knocked on the pipe beside her and answered casually.
"Virus leak? Someone is researching these? No, I really can't understand, what benefits can studying these viruses bring to him? Shouldn't the original intention of the invention be to improve people's livelihood? Is he researching these just to bring disaster to the people?" Jace asked puzzled, silently clenching the Hextech Hammer.
"How should I know? But what we have the most here is ambitious people and crazy people. Unfortunately, the inventors here are often both."
Jinx tilted her head back and answered nonchalantly.
Jayce frowned slightly, raised his Hextech gun, aimed at Jinx and began to charge: "What about you? What is the purpose of inventing those bombs? Jinx, I know who you are. You caused the Evolution Day bombing and killed countless law enforcement officers on the Evolution Bridge. Are you trying to show off your power to the Upper City? Or to satisfy your morbid desire to kill? Do you know how many innocent law enforcement officers you have killed?"
Just as Lin Zizhi was about to take action, Rectors behind him took the lead and pressed his heavy hands firmly on Lin Zizhi's shoulders: "Don't move, kid, if you don't want to get hurt."
Lin Zizhi knew that his current strength was no longer what it used to be. He didn’t like being threatened, so his response to this choice was very simple.
His eyes suddenly turned purple, and he turned on the faint light and grabbed Rector with his backhand, tripping him and throwing him to the ground.
"How can I bear this injustice? I just learned the grappling technique." Lin Zizhi sneered.
Rectors wanted to get up, but found that Lin Zizhi, with the help of the faint light, burst out with a power stronger than his.
"Don't move, kid, if you don't want to get hurt." Lin Zizhi said as he pulled out his gun and aimed at his head.
Jace didn't expect Lin Zizhi to react so quickly. He counterattacked Rectors in an instant and pinned him to the ground.
Jinx also stopped walking. She turned around and said with gritted teeth: "They are not innocent at all! My parents were killed by the law enforcer!"
A scarlet bloody hallucination appeared in front of Jinx's eyes. It was the law enforcer in her memory. The law enforcer's face turned into a hideous devil.
She shook her head and closed her eyes in tears: "I have witnessed them die in front of me! The bridge was covered with corpses! The bodies of my parents, the bodies of the people of Zaun! They all died at the hands of the law enforcers! And none of the law enforcers who killed my parents have ever paid the price for it!" Jace was speechless for a moment. The conflict between the two cities was not born in one day.
The situation was tense. Lin Zizhi controlled Rectors, Jayce aimed at Jinx, and Mel in the middle was anxious to stop the fight: "Jayce, don't do this! Put down your weapons, Piltover and Zaun are not enemies."
In the end, it was Jace who put down his weapon first. He shook his head and sighed deeply: "So, this is your purpose? To take revenge on those law enforcement officers who hurt you?"
Jinx instantly pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Jace. She tilted her head expressionlessly and raised her eyebrows.
The situation is now very unfavorable for Jace.
However, Jinx did not shoot. She just turned the gun sadly and replied: "I didn't think of revenge on them. I just wanted to... to prove myself to Hilco. I... I am not a burden."
Jayce didn't know what to say for a moment. This seemed to be just a whim of a madman, but it reflected a microcosm of the conflict between Piltover and Zaun. It was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence. Lin Zizhi let go of Rectors and tried to smooth things over: "Well, don't forget that we still have things to deal with right now. If this disaster sweeping Zaun is not controlled, it will sooner or later affect Piltover."
Jace took a deep breath and held out his hand to Jinx. "I'm sorry. I was so stupid and impulsive before."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'll just drop you off and leave. We owe nothing to each other." Jinx didn't want to respond and turned around to continue leading the way.
Jace shook his head and laughed at himself. "I remember how our two sides first united to resist a common foreign enemy."
"Oh, really?" Jinx returned to her nonchalant look.
"And for progress," Jace continued.
"I never wanted to stop it." Jinx shrugged.
After they turned a corner of a narrow pipe, the space ahead suddenly became empty.
"Is this the place you were talking about? I've never been here before!" Jinx jumped down the pipe first, looking curiously at the sophisticated metal structure in front of her.
"Not this door, the elevator is next to it." Jace followed. He had no intention of going into the room where the safe was stored.
Lin Zizhi breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful.
Now, as long as we leave here with Jinx, we won’t be drawn into the anomaly point where the Wild Rune is born, and we won’t lose the chance to meet God Viktor.
"Okay, we'll send you here. See you later? No, no, no, I'd rather not see you later, Senator." Jinx stretched and didn't plan to stay any longer.
However, at this moment, Jinx's Hextech pistol suddenly changed, and at the same time, many phantoms appeared on Jayce's Hextech hammer.
Jace's face changed. This was exactly the same as the last time. Could there be something wrong with the Hextech flying door?He immediately took out his Hextech hammer, activated the energy and aimed it at the Talis family icon on the iron gate.
Jinx discovered that there was a problem with her Hextech pistol and was curious about the source of the problem, so she stopped and left.
Jayce's Hextech Hammer continuously transformed into multiple phantoms, and the unstable Hextech Hammer kept vibrating in a flash.
The Hextech and the iron gate were still linked. The rotation of the giant hammer drove the mechanism lock to turn. After the icon of the Tallis family lit up, the heavy iron gate rose up.
The inside of the door was as bright as day. The Hextech flying door safety device in the center stood calmly in place, and the precise patterns on the walls of the hemispherical room glowed with the blue light of Hextech technology.
"Wow, this thing is so beautiful!" Jinx jumped in without realizing the danger.
"Be careful!" Lin Zizhi shouted.
In an instant, the abnormal point where the wild rune was born appeared again and enveloped the entire room.
