Chapter 13 Code Name: C
"???"

The concern and worry in Caitlin's eyes grew stronger.

The bullet didn't even hit the brain, why are people so stupid...

"Don't look at me like that, do as I say." Li Lin glared at her, and said in a firm tone, "This is my new invention, phase, trust me."

Caitlin pursed her lips and hesitated for a while, then nodded heavily, "I hope this gun is really as amazing as you said."

She clenched the handle of the gun with both hands, took a deep breath slowly, tried to free up her mind, and roughly conceived the structure diagram of this alley in her mind.

The shooter was about 20 paces away, in a room about 4 meters from the ground.

The people on the other side are more than ten meters away from here, and at a normal speed, they can run over within a few seconds...

I am now on the same side as the gunman, and the other party's gun must be aimed at this side now.

Although they say they will not kill me, the words of the enemy cannot be believed.

There is a great possibility that as soon as I get out of the bunker, I will be shot through my body...

What should I do?
Caitlin's brain was running fast, quickly thinking about every possible countermeasure.

Suddenly, she saw the metal building walls above the alley, and a feasible idea emerged in her mind.

"Li Lin, what is the caliber of your revolver?" She asked in a low voice.

"Uh, I modified it from a normal revolver, it should be 10mm..."

Li Lin noticed that Caitlin's gaze was wandering on the surrounding walls above her head, guessed her intentions, and couldn't help but be surprised:
"Hey, I didn't lie to you. This pistol uses energy bullets, which are different from kinetic energy bullets. Do you want to shoot the bullet through the metal wall and hit that person? I'm not sure if it will work..."

"How will you know if you don't try it? Anyway, we have no choice, don't we?" Caitlin said calmly.

She knelt on one knee and stretched out her arm, narrowed her left eye slightly, and aimed the pistol diagonally above her.

Inhale, then hold your breath.

Then, her slender white index finger gently pulled the trigger.

At the same time, the Hextech revolver vibrated slightly, and the location of the power supply core flashed a blue light.

After a short delay, with a dull sound, a blue energy ball was ejected from the muzzle of the gun.

However, the moment it touched the metal wall, the energy bullet "sizzled" and exploded, and the flickering blue light illuminated the dark alley.

The gunman was taken aback by the sudden counterattack, and immediately shrank his head, "Damn it! What the hell did you do?!"

Here, Kaitlyn frowned when she realized that her idea was not working.

This move just now was a shock, but it also let her know the general power of the revolver in her hand.

Even I was very surprised by its power, and the other party would definitely be afraid of it just now.

If you want to get out of the current predicament, you must take some risks...

Caitlin quickly figured out a countermeasure with her extraordinary mind.

In addition, she determined the approximate location of the gunman through the scolding just now.

If you use the shock wave of the energy bullet, that guy should be solved...

Caitlin took a quick breath and held her breath. Without much hesitation, she rolled violently towards the side of the trash can.

The gunman hiding in the civilian's house obviously didn't expect her to be so bold, and the shock wave just now made him feel lingering fear.

For a moment, he couldn't react, and fired a shot without aiming, only hitting the open space at Caitlin's feet.

good chance!
Caitlin, who was kneeling on one knee, counted the time, quickly raised her hand and squinted to aim, her finger had already lightly pulled the trigger once when she raised her hand.

Another blue energy ball shot out from the gun barrel and quickly flew towards the wide-eyed shooter.

Because Caitlin's series of actions were completed in just two or three seconds, the actions were rushed and the aim was poor. The bullet only hit the wall below the window and did not hit the shooter.

But that's enough.

An unexplained invisible shock wave suddenly appeared from the bottom of his feet, violently impacting his body from bottom to top, knocking him into the air and hitting the ceiling, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Affected by the shock wave and impact, the gunman's pupils were dilated, and he passed out immediately after his eyes went dark.

On the other side of the alley, a few people hiding behind the wall saw Caitlin shoot, and they started talking:
"Damn it! The bitch actually shot!"

"Don't worry, although I heard that Miss Gilaman's marksmanship is very good, but the boss is so far away from her, nothing will happen."

"What the hell kind of weapon is that light? Is it really a gun she's holding? Or is it a new weapon developed by the Gilaman family?"

"I always feel a little bad..."

Just when several people were shocked by the abnormal situation in the alley, the dull voice of a strange middle-aged man suddenly sounded behind them:

"I don't know if the Gilaman family has developed new weapons or not, but this gentleman's bad premonition is right."

"Who... woo!"

As soon as one of them turned around, a fist the size of a sandbag landed on his face, and he was knocked unconscious before he could even say a word.

The other three saw their teammates encountering this sudden attack, so they hurriedly prepared their weapons and distanced themselves from the middle-aged man.

"Who are you?!"

One right arm was replaced by a hex-enhanced prosthetic body, and the man wearing a metal skull mask stared coldly at the strange middle-aged man in front of him.

"I advise you not to be nosy!"

"Since you've all come to the dark alley, you don't even know who I am." The middle-aged man rubbed his fists and smiled helplessly, "Didn't you find out whose territory this is in advance?"

"You... are Van der?!" The man took two steps back subconsciously, "We have no grievances with you, why did you attack my people?"

Fandel burst out laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke in his life, "No grievances or enmities? Hahaha..."

After a while, he suppressed his smile, put on a gloomy face, and asked sharply, "Then do you know why the black alley is the most orderly area in the whole city?"

The three of them looked at each other and heard what Van der wanted to express.

After a brief eye contact, they glared at him again, a stern look in their eyes.

"Why are you talking so much with this old guy! There are three of us, and he only has one!"

"Yes, not to mention that the old man is still unarmed, but we have weapons."

"You are more than people, right?" Fandre shook his head and raised his finger to point behind the three of them.

what's the situation……

The man wearing the metal skull mask suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, as if he was being stared at by countless pairs of malicious eyes.

He stiffened his neck, turned his head like a rusty mechanical gear, and immediately took a breath of cold air.

Just a dozen meters away from them, a dark group of people had surrounded them at some point.

They are all fully armed, some are holding machetes, some are equipped with sharp alchemy mechanical devices, and many of them are equipped with alchemy augmentation prosthetic bodies.

it's over...

At this moment, only this thought remained in the masked man's mind.

"May the smog never enter your house." Van der stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Hei Lane sends sincere greetings to you and your friends."

……

……

Benso's grocery store.

Caitlin was full of worry, staring intently at the two middle-aged men, one fat and one strong, who were busy in front of the bed.

And lying on the bed was Li Lin who had been given anesthesia and was in a semi-conscious state.

After resolving the crisis for them, Fandre took Caitlin and the injured Li Lin back to Benso's grocery store to treat his wounds.

Benso threw the towel in his hand into the water basin that had been soaked in red liquid, and shouted outside the house: "Ike, bring in another basin of water!"

"understood!"

Not long after, a little boy with white hair and black skin came in with a basin of clean water again.

Fander used tweezers to remove a piece of metal from the wound and threw it into the basin, then washed the blood off his hands, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.

Caitlin, who was already restless, immediately stepped forward to ask about Li Lin's situation, "Is he alright?"

"This kid is in good health. The place where the bullet hit is not deep, and all the shrapnel has been taken out. Let Ben Suo stitch up the wound for him, and he will be fine after resting for a while."

"That's good." Kaitlyn breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, the five people you arrested..."

"Come out and say it." Fandre motioned for her to follow behind him.

The two walked out of Benso's grocery store and came to the narrow alley beside the store.

Fandre lit a pipe by himself with a match, leaned against the cold wall with his arms folded, and blew out several round smoke rings with his head raised.

After pondering for a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "At present, my subordinates haven't found any results in the interrogation, but what I can confirm is that they are not from the bottom city, and the people from the bottom city don't have the money to install the enhanced prosthetic body of the city. "

"I know, they should be sent by someone who is hostile to our family."

"Well, the Gilaman family... I didn't expect you to be the daughter of a member of the upper town."

"I didn't expect you to be the leader of the Black Lane." Caitlin's gaze paused briefly on Fandre, "You are very different from the alchemy baron I imagined."

"I'm not a baron of alchemy, I'm just eating and drinking." Fandre knocked out the pipe in his hand, not wanting to continue on this topic, "If you know the identities of these people, what are you going to do?"

Caitlin's expression sank, "I will personally send them all to prison, including the forces behind them."

"Well, this is indeed a good way, but sometimes, the law is not as practical as cutting the weeds directly..."

"I'm not a murderer."

"Of course, I'm just speaking out of personal experience... Although I don't like to cause trouble now."

Van der spread his hands and didn't speak again.

The air fell into a long silence.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After an unknown amount of time, hurried footsteps came from the alley in front of the grocery store.

A woman wearing a worn-out brown leather jacket with dark skin and thick black eyeshadow perfectly set off her fierce eyes came to Fandre.

"Sevica, how's the situation?"

"They are mercenaries traveling between Uptown and Bilgewater, hired by someone to kidnap this young lady."

The woman casually glanced at Caitlin who was beside Fandre, her hoarse voice was a bit harsh.

"But none of them know the real identity of the employer, only know the guy's code name: C."

 Tip: C is Caitlyn’s deadly enemy in the background of the main universe, and is also the key figure who promotes Caitlyn’s transformation from a family lady to a detective, and then becomes the Sheriff of Piltover.
