"He must be Urgot!"
"Quickly! Aaron! Bring him to justice!"
Jess, who hadn't dared to breathe loudly just moments before, immediately became excited after hearing the "crab monster" mention the fluorescent green potion.
He pointed at the other person and called out Urgot's name with considerable certainty—of course, Aaron didn't need Jess to remind him.
Jess was only worried because he had just been injected with the purification potion by Kayana, and now that Urgot was talking about how "addictive" the stuff was, he panicked a little.
"Heh heh heh, you Piltover guy know me too?"
Urgot seemed even happier.
He stared at Jess, brandishing the dark green reagent in his hand, and made no attempt to conceal his ambitions for Piltover:
"This is truly the best news I've heard recently."
"I had heard of Piltover's advancement and civilization even when I was still dealing with those dull and incompetent people in the Empire."
"I think if everything goes well today, not only Zaun, but Piltover will also understand the true meaning of suffering! Hehehehe..."
Urgot finally couldn't hold back any longer, abandoned his pretense of "refined" manner, and burst into laughter.
Aaron had already guessed pretty much what he wanted to do with Zaun:
Basically, the goal is to create an atmosphere of chaos and disorder throughout Zaun through slaughter and hatred, turning it into an "earthly paradise" where Urgot constantly brews suffering.
And based on what Urgot is saying now, his strong desire for Aaron also makes sense—
Urgot noticed Aaron, this "destabilizing factor" who was constantly trying to establish the Zaunites' own order.
He would stop at nothing to get Aaron, and then use the purification potion in his possession to completely corrupt Aaron!
And it wasn't just Aaron.
Jayce, who was unexpectedly brought to the training ground by Kayana today, greatly expanded Urgot's ambition, making him feel as if he could ascend to the sky in one step and spread the true meaning of chaos to the elegant and noble city of progress!
"Come on, come on, don't restrain your desires."
"As long as you accept the great truth, you can have as much of this as you want!"
As Urgot spoke, he smashed the highly concentrated purification agent in his hand to the ground without hesitation.
He let the dark green liquid flow and spread freely, emitting a strange fragrance.
"What does it taste like... uh, I..."
Jess frowned warily.
Just as he was about to learn more about the drug that Kayena had injected him with, he suddenly felt an itchy sensation emanating from every part of his body!
The constant itching sensation stimulated every nerve and muscle in his body, making his bones feel as if they had softened into sewage.
Even though Jess was trying his best to fight against his instincts, his mind was becoming increasingly empty, and crazy thoughts were surging within him, making him want to do anything but lick the dark green liquid that had fallen to the ground!
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful."
Urgot, as if admiring his latest masterpiece, patiently watched Jayce, who was glaring at him angrily. As the strange fragrance wafted through the air, his expression gradually changed.
In his excitement, he smashed a tube of dark green medicine, letting the scent of the highly concentrated cleansing agent permeate the entire "Sinking Hook," even briefly overpowering the smell of gunpowder from the earlier bombardment.
"No! I can't..."
Jess's eyes were bloodshot as he gripped Aaron's mech's ankle tightly, preventing himself from falling into the dark green liquid that had already flowed to his feet.
He tried to cover his mouth and nose, but the strange fragrance was everywhere, almost wiping out all his reason.
Now, even Jayce fully understands Urgot's plan, and he is even more aware that what Kayana injected him with earlier is probably the culprit that has triggered his ever-expanding desires.
And judging from Urgot's words... Aaron was also injected with this poison before?!
Jess looked up in horror, trying to see what was inside the cockpit.
He simply couldn't imagine what would happen if Aaron was also succumbing to this terrifying, bone-deep temptation. Wouldn't Aaron, piloting this incredibly powerful mech, be about to...?
"Ahem, Urgot, I want to ask you a question."
Suddenly, Aaron's voice broke the silence.
As if completely unaffected, he asked a question in a strange tone that neither Urgot nor Jayce understood:
"Do you know someone named Singed? Or rather, Colin Levik?"
Aaron blinked, not at all like he had been affected.
"I find it hard to imagine how brilliant his mind must be to develop something so versatile without ever communicating with you..."
[Singed's Inspiration/Instinct Level has been used]
As a former professor at Piltover University and a master expert in psychoactive drugs and physical enhancement potions, Singed not only developed strong drug resistance but also possessed a keen and comprehensive understanding of various potions.
[Entering Singed's perspective...]
[Residual unnamed drug and cleansing agent serial number ⑦ have been detected in the body. The system is currently guiding the neutralization of the unnamed drug and cleansing agent serial number ⑦.]
……
"After you stole Jayce's Hextech Crystal, you used it as explosives without a second thought, which led to the explosion nine years ago?"
"Um."
"Is that why your sister Vi was arrested and imprisoned, and why she harbors such deep hatred for the law enforcement officer and Hilko?"
"almost."
"Furthermore, Hilco wasn't actually a Zaun businessman; he only gradually reformed after being constantly persuaded by Aaron, and secretly smuggled contraband many times?"
"Pretty much the same."
"..."
Caitlin couldn't bring herself to ask any more questions.
She stared into Jinx's eyes, which she was trying not to look away from, feeling both wanting to slap this little rascal who had done so many bad things, and being touched by the other's undisguised honesty out of trust.
After failing to persuade her mother, Mrs. Giraman, Caitlin resolutely decided to follow her heart and do what she believed was right.
She left her mother a note, finally remembering to make it clear that she hadn't disappeared without a trace, before turning around, grabbing Jinx, and rushing out of the manor.
And Caitlin's destination is Zaun!
She felt that since her mother didn't trust her and was unwilling to investigate the corruption within the law enforcement ranks, she had to take matters into her own hands and solve the problem, just like she had done with the "C" from five years ago.
But when Caitlyn led Jinx back to Zaun and was about to follow the enforcers to the sinkhole, Jinx suddenly refused to go any further.
The blue-haired girl seemed to have been preparing for a long time. Looking at the entrance to the ditch area, she took a deep breath and began to talk about past events that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation.
She was provoked by what happened to Wei.
Jinx has now come to the conclusion that Caitlin is completely different from those arrogant law enforcement officers.
She didn't want to see a repeat of the situation when Vi suddenly appeared—when Caitlin pointed a gun at Vi, it wasn't just Vi who was heartbroken, but also Jinx, who was trembling all over.
Once Caitlyn enters the ditch area, Jinx knows without a doubt that the other side will see the darkest and most sinister side of Zaun.
Rather than let Caitlin make any more misjudgments without knowing the full story, Jinx preferred to tear open her own wounds and explain the less-than-honorable details to Caitlin.
Even if the process is painful.
"Okay, I'm not going to blame you, so stop making that face."
"I should thank you for this information."
Perhaps Caitlin had spent too much time with Jinx and quickly forgot about those "criminal acts" that she would have definitely investigated thoroughly before.
With a complex expression, she comforted Jinx twice, took a deep breath, and thus gently moved past those old cases.
"Let's keep going."
Caitlyn patted Jinx on the shoulder: "I recognize the enforcers' footprints. Their footsteps disappear here. I think we should probably get off here..."
boom--!!!
"What was that sound?!"
Before Caitlin could finish speaking, a terrifying tremor erupted from beneath the bottomless, dark staircase!
No, it's not just tremors.
The already fragile rocks were as if they had been crushed by an irresistible, enormous impact, and were stripped from the mountainside like raindrops, continuously falling down—
Sinking gate...
It's going to collapse!!
