People in the League, Masters of Time Management

Catelyn sensed a ray of light on her face.

It's not too bright, and the aperture is small, but it's shaky.

As a well-known sharpshooter in Piltover, she knew exactly what it was—the light reflected from the scope.

The sense of danger cultivated by long-term licking blood with the tip of a knife made Caitlin lose all sleepiness.

With her eyes still closed, she turned over seemingly casually, bringing her body close to the edge of the bed.

At the same time, count down in my heart.

Three...two...one!

The moment the gunshot rang out, Caitlin turned around sharply and rolled off the bed, narrowly avoiding the fatal shot.

"The show is about to begin."

Regardless of her arm that was cut by bullets and sawdust, she endured the severe pain and quickly raised the hex rifle beside the bed.

Caitlin thumbed the rifle's master switch to the upright position.There was a soft note from the breech, and she was ready to get into a firing stance.

She drew the butt of the gun and pressed it against her shoulder, her cheek against the walnut backing, one eye open, looking through the crystal lens.

Then, the bullet is ejected.

High-caliber bullets shot out of the house along the crater on the window, hitting the target.

But Caitlin didn't hear the wailing or screams that she imagined, only the crisp sound of steel colliding echoed in the empty street.

She made sure she hit the target.

So... robots?Or mechanical prosthetics?

"Heh, no matter what your status is, the crime of assaulting the police will make you drink a pot!"

Caitlin cursed secretly, and rushed to the window to aim the gun again.

Unfortunately, before she pulled the trigger, the black shadow had already crossed the corner and disappeared into the darkness.

"Damn it..." Kaitlyn, who was wearing pajamas, hesitated for a moment, then turned out of the window and slid down the pipe directly from the third floor.

As she regained her footing, there was a loud explosion just across the street.

Then, she saw the young man who was "picked up" by herself walking towards this side with an apologetic face.

"Uh... sorry, I didn't expect this robot to be so unhacked."

Mubai flicked his right hand, and the half-remaining robot rolled down to the girl's feet. There were still sparks flickering from the metal shell, which didn't seem to be made of high-quality materials.

If nothing else, this is the assailant who was shot just now.

"Why do you..." Caitlin opened her small mouth in surprise, looking at Mubai for a long time speechless.

so fast?

And... he still has another killer in his hand?

This efficiency is simply higher than that of Wei...

"I'll talk about it later if you have any questions, call the police first." Mu Bai pointed at the killer's bleeding abdomen and said.

"Uh... ohhh!"

Caitlin woke up like a dream, and quickly put away the rifle and carried it on her shoulder.But she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait... Am I not a policeman?"

"Indeed, but..." Mu Bai unabashedly looked up and down the graceful figure of the other party, "Do you want to dress like this to handle the case?"

"..."

The girl suddenly remembered that she was only wearing a thin pajamas, and her pretty face turned red.

Not to mention the thinness of this pajamas, it is still a bit transparent, and the black lace inside has been seen by Mu Bai...

Chapter 15 Lord Caitlin will take care of you!

At two o'clock in the morning, inside Sheriff Caitlin's office.

The long wait made Mu Bai feel tired, his eyelids closed unconsciously several times, and his sitting posture changed from sitting upright to lying on the table now.

Fortunately, Caitlin returned before he fell asleep.

"Wait a long time." Putting on a formal suit, the girl locked the door, and then leaned back on the chair wearily, kneading her temples.

"How is it?" Mu Bai asked.

"The mechanical department is working on the robot's memory chip. As for the killer... well, he has a tough mouth, but I don't think he can withstand the torture tools in the interrogation room."

Caitlin took a sip of the coffee that Mubai prepared in advance, nodded with satisfaction, and continued:

"It's just hard work for other police officers. You know, they got off work as early as eight o'clock in the evening."

"Then they can't get paid for nothing." Mu Bai shrugged.

"It makes sense." Caitlin echoed with a laugh.

After speaking, the two suddenly fell silent - not because of embarrassment, but because they were too sleepy.

Mubai changed to a more comfortable sitting position, lying quietly on the table with his eyes closed.

In fact, they can choose to go home now, but Caitlin wants to know the killer's identity, purpose and employer information as soon as possible, so she decides to spend tonight directly at the police station.

The owner of the house is not there, so Mu Bai is naturally too embarrassed to go back to sleep alone, so he can only stay here with the other party for the night.

Just as he was getting sleepy, a slight moan forced him to open his eyes.

It's from Caitlin.

The eyelashes on her closed beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was enduring something.

"Are you okay?" Mu Bai noticed the gauze on her right arm, which was the scrape wound from the previous attack, "How is the wound?"

"Huh? It's okay..."

Caitlin shook her head and curled up sideways on the large seat.

"The wound has been preliminarily cleaned, and I will go to the doctor for a second treatment tomorrow."

"It will cause inflammation." Mu Bai said, "It's better to treat it as soon as possible."

"No doctor is still working at two o'clock in the middle of the night...Forget it, I'll be fine after I rest, this little injury is fine."

"Hmm... Maybe I can help take a look."

"You?" Caitlin opened one eye suspiciously, "Have you ever learned medical skills?"

"No." Mu Bai honestly shook his head.

Hearing this, Caitlin's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of disappointment, but more gratitude.She knew that the other party was worried about her, which warmed her heart.

"Okay, Mubai, it's really nothing." The girl's voice was softer and less cold than before.

"Although I don't know medical skills, I can help you... Believe me, Miss Caitlin."

Mu Bai's tone was firm, and while speaking, he took out a bottle of red potion from the cloth bag on his waist.

If it is stolen from Caitlin and used by Caitlin, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner... probably.

"This is..." Caitlin stared at the bottle of unknown liquid that looked like blood, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Meals can be eaten indiscriminately, but medicines can't...

"The special healing medicine I brought from my hometown is very useful." Mu Bai uncorked the bottle and handed it over, a unique aroma spread immediately.

"Come on, take it orally."

"This..." Caitlin hesitated even more when she heard that she wanted to take it orally.

Years of upbringing have warned her not to eat indiscriminately, especially this kind of liquid of unknown origin and weird appearance.

But she doesn't want to disappoint her new partner...

"Um... Mubai, why don't you drink it tomorrow? I'm... um... I don't have an appetite..."

Mu Bai smiled and looked at her without saying a word.But the meaning is very obvious.

"Okay, okay, I get it..." Caitlin shook her head with a wry smile, and took several deep breaths to embolden herself.

Then, she suddenly lifted the potion and poured it into her mouth.

Accompanied by the sound of swallowing, the life potion soon ran out.

"Hmm..." The girl stuck out her tongue, then looked at Mubai with her head held high, looking very proud, "It's over."

The latter was stunned.

"Didn't you drink it like this...?" Caitlin lost her confidence at this moment.

"There is a cup on the table, in fact, you can drink from the cup..." Mu Bai was a little bit distressed by the potion.

I bought the CD for several days, why did you finish it in one gulp...

Shouldn't it be drinking while observing the wound?Don't waste it, it's expensive...

"..." As soon as the words fell, Caitlin's cheeks suddenly became hot, as if she had thought of something shy.

it's over... it's over...

I forgot that Mubai carried this medicine with me, so he must have used this bottle before, wouldn't I drink it directly... an indirect kiss?

After thinking for a long time, Caitlin stared at the other party's eyes and said seriously:

"I will be responsible for you!"

Mubai:?

..............................

Zaan, inside an underground research institute.

"The assassination failed, do you want to start the robot's self-destruct program?" The skinny old man in a white coat pushed his glasses and asked.

"what ever."

In the corner of the research institute, a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body was sitting leisurely on a recliner, holding an expensive cigar in his hand.

According to regulations, smoking is prohibited in the institute, but none of the dozens of researchers who came and went dared to step forward to stop the middle-aged man from puffing.

why?

Because this research institute was opened by him.

Butler, Zaun's notorious casino owner, is rich and murderous.

There is no Zaunite who doesn't know him, but few know that there is a research institute hidden under his casino.

It is said that he can be so arrogant and domineering in disregard of the law because he has someone on his head, a powerful umbrella that can even put down the Piltover guards.

"Then I'll start it, boss." The skinny old man smirked and fiddled for a while, and finally pressed the red button on the console.

He could imagine the heat waves and small mushroom clouds rising dozens of miles away.

"Hmm." Butler took a deep puff of the cigar, and then exhaled the smoke from his lungs while talking, "It's enough to attract attention, and the rest doesn't matter."

"Understood, boss."

The old man prostrated on the ground with his body that might fall apart at any time, his words and deeds were full of humbleness, like a slave saluting the emperor thousands of years ago.

"May I ask when the next step is..."

"Evolution Day."

Butler threw most of the remaining cigars on the ground and squeezed them out with the toe of his leather boots.

The flame disappeared in an instant, replaced by a few wisps of black smoke.

The pungent smell renders the surrounding air disgusting.

Chapter No.16 Take the initiative to attack

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Bai was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Caitlin's flawless pretty face, as well as the hot coffee and wheat bread in her hand.
