People in the League, Masters of Time Management

"Look down!"

At a critical moment, Caitlin yelled and pulled the trigger at the same time.

A narrow piercing bullet shot out from the muzzle, and when it touched the robot's arm, it suddenly unfolded, turning into a flying blade-like projectile, and directly chopped off an electric blade of the robot.

Just as Mu Bai wanted to give a thumbs up to praise his allies, another ridiculously thick rope net was shot at, binding the robot tightly.

Peacemaker with 90 gauge net.

"Nice job, Caitlin!" Now he could boast.

"How pretty?" Caitlin slung the rifle over her shoulder, proud.

"As pretty as your face."

"...and poor-mouthed!"

"Just tell the truth." Mu Bai smiled, and continued to attack with his tired body.

However, robots that don't want to "life" are not so easy to solve.

All the propulsion devices on its body were activated, and while breaking free with brute force, it scorched the rope net with raging fire, and it regained its freedom in less than a few seconds.

Of course, there is a price to be paid for such brutal operations-the circuit board is overloaded, the central information processor is overheated, and the speed becomes sluggish.

"It's time to decide the outcome..."

Mu Bai twisted his neck, stopped dodging, and tried his best to fight the opponent head-on.

The blade collided with the sawtooth and the electric blade, and the flames scattered.One person and one machine all disregarded the warning issued by their own body overload, and forcibly swung their swords with the fastest speed and maximum strength.

The fight between them even produced afterimages.

Caitlin hid in the shadows and aimed, but was too late to pull the trigger—they were too fast, and shooting rashly might accidentally injure friendly troops.

Dolan's sword left scars on the robot's body, and the metal shell gradually peeled off; the robot also repeatedly injured Mubai, carving countless bloodstains on his body.

hum-

Mubai's sword rang.

"Caitlin, get ready!"

He roared, and the surging sword intent reached its saturation point at this moment, and the whirlwind began to surround the blade.

"Hasa!"

The robot detected the tornado coming towards it, and immediately repeated the same trick, twisting its body sensitively, trying to avoid the attack and then waiting for the opportunity to draw the sword.

However, this time it judged wrong.

That hurricane didn't hit it, but hit its soles.

"Let's go down!" Mu Bai stared at the rapidly cracked floor, and laughed unconsciously.

Since this broken robot came up from below, there must be space below, at least an upward passage.

As long as you find the thinnest part of the floor, it must be the passage directly below.

After being cited for so long and suffering so many injuries, it was finally a right bet!

"Blazing Wind Endless Slash—!"

Mu Bai's body disappeared like a ghost, and reappeared behind the robot in a blink of an eye.The whirlwind held the two of them up in the air, and slashed wildly with the long sword.

The sword intent turned into substance and brought a breeze. The wind blade continued to destroy the little metal shell of the robot, and the internal structure was finally completely exposed to the air.

The energy core has been found.

That blue crystal hidden deep in the line!

"Goodbye, Big Tin Man."

The moment the Galewind Endless Slash stopped, Mu Bai turned his head and gestured to Caitlin.

The latter understood and opened fire immediately.

After a gunshot, the energy core shattered into countless pieces, the robot lost its power instantly, all the devices were shut down, and it turned into a pile of broken copper and iron and fell into the ground.

And Mubai climbed back to the ground with the help of Caitlin.

"It's finally done...it's so difficult..."

Mu Bai lay on his back, the pain from dozens of wounds, large and small, couldn't cover the smile on his face.

"Your injury..." Caitlin frowned and tore her beloved skirt, "Don't move, I'll bandage it for you."

"thanks……"

"Thank you, thank you, I will settle accounts with you when I go back! Why did you act without authorization? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Ahem, this...it's a long story..."

"Humph!"

A few minutes later, Caitlin helped Mubai wipe off the last bit of blood, and the dignified and beautiful dress also became tattered.

She sat quietly on the ground, looking at the sky with her beautiful eyes - she couldn't see anything, the haze and towers blocked her sight, and she couldn't see half a star.

"That, I'm sorry..." Mu Bai sincerely apologized, "I ruined your evolution day..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew exactly how much she was looking forward to today's dance.

She's been picking out the gowns since days ago, and she always has a smile on her face when she talks about the Evolution Day ball.

How hopeful I was before, how disappointed I am now.

Gone are the concerts, the proms are gone, and even gowns have been reduced to cheap bandages.

"That kind of thing is casual, it happens once a year anyway." Caitlin turned her head aside, her voice calm.

"Sorry... Although I know this can't make up for my fault, but... Here you go. Happy Evolution Day, Miss Caitlin."

"Ok?"

The girl froze for a moment, then turned her head suspiciously.

Then, she saw an exquisitely crafted box, and a silver necklace lay quietly in the center of the box.

Although Mu Bai's whole body was tattered, the box and necklace were spotlessly clean.

No need to think about it, how much he paid attention to protecting this box in the previous battle - even at the expense of causing his body to suffer more damage.

"This is……"

"A gift for you." Mu Bai scratched his head embarrassingly, "I originally wanted to give it to you at the end of the dance, hug—"

"Don't say sorry!"

Caitlin interrupted with a warm, hard hug, tears of joy welling up in her eyes.

Hey, the dust in Zaun is so big, it blows into the eyes...

This guy... he did such a stupid thing, but now he still wants to be sensational...

Not touched at all, so stupid, so stupid...

"Hmm..." Seeing the girl crying, Mu Bai felt even more embarrassed, even responding to the other party's hug seemed so stiff.

Caitlin's slight sobs gradually stopped, and after a long silence, she suddenly took Mu Bai's neck and offered her lips.

"Your blessing for Evolution Day was wrong... You can't say happy Evolution Day in the future, but say 'May the haze never enter your home'."

"If it was to me, you could say 'May the smog stay out of our house'."

"Got it, idiot..."

Chapter 29 Heroes of Piltover

The news that Mu Bai overthrew the Alchemy Baron's lair spread like wildfire, and there are various versions circulating in the streets and alleys of Zaun and Picheng.

Some people say that he is a handsome and unrestrained swordsman, who can kill one person in ten steps and never stay behind for thousands of miles.

Some people describe him as a perverted murderer who kills people with a single strike, and the souls of the dead under the sword can fill twenty strip clubs.

Some people pretended that he was an envoy between hell and heaven, and his methods were ruthless, but he was dedicated to killing wicked people.

However, no matter how it is rumored outside, there is one fact that everyone agrees on——Mubai took care of the people in the middle square of Zu'an.

Even if Butler falls, someone will soon take over his position as Baron of Alchemy, but at least the newcomer will restrain himself a little.

Oh yes, one more thing.

Jinx also gave Mu Bai all the credit for dismantling the bomb.

For a time, the young swordsman became a man of the day and a hero of the people in the Twin Cities, and was revered by the whole city.

"You're famous, famous, very famous."

In Caitlin's villa, the girl rested her chin on her hands and said in a serious tone.

"But I don't want to be famous at all..." Hearing this, Mu Bai rubbed his temples in distress, "I just want to have a good rest now."

After defeating the robot last night, Caitlin went home first because he had withdrawn from the Piltover police, while he stayed at the police station and spent the whole night interrogating Butler.

Why interrogate yourself?

Because there is an insider in Piltover Police.

This is why Caitlin is reluctant to return to the team.

"Okay, okay, I know you've worked hard." The girl touched the necklace around her neck with a happy face.

Ever since she put on the necklace, she has been touching it from time to time, for fear that the necklace will run away with long legs.

"Any clues about the mob in Piltover Police?"

"It is not yet possible to confirm who it is." Mu Bai shook his head, "I only know that person must have a lot of power."

This conclusion was determined after they interrogated Butler.

In fact, he had doubts when Joseph was arrested before—why would an arms dealer related to Code C know Caitlyn's whereabouts like the back of his hand?

There are two possibilities, one is that his subordinates just discovered it... This possibility is very slim.

Another possibility is that Caitlin has been under surveillance since the investigation of Code C, and all the information she received was what Code C wanted her to know.

Of course, Mu Bai and Caitlin were just guessing at that time.

What made them completely convinced of this judgment was the result of Butler's interrogation.

The baron of alchemy, who was responsible for the disaster, did not have such power a few years ago. The reason why he was able to change from a casino owner to a baron of alchemy was all thanks to the support of code-named C.

Since a few years ago, Code C has given him some advanced alchemy techniques from time to time, but the price is only to create a little chaos and conflicts, and intensify the conflict between the people of Picheng and Zaan.

Until half a month ago, Code C gave him a high-end technology that all scientists covet - the latest Hex technology.

That is, the robot with extremely exaggerated combat power.

Of course, the greater the reward, the greater the risk.

Code C asked him to cause chaos in the city on Evolution Day, pushing the conflict between Zaun and Piltover to the peak.

Unfortunately, because of the appearance of Mu Bai and others, this mission failed.

Being able to control high-end alchemy technology and hex technology, knowing Caitlyn's whereabouts, and being able to transfer Vi from his original post, Butler has also personally admitted that he has an umbrella that he has never met...

Combining these information, it can basically be determined that Code C is someone in the high-level security of Piltover, or there is a person with code C in the high-level.

Of course, the former is more likely.After all, if it is the latter, then Code C can really do whatever he wants in Piltover.

As for why Butler's mouth is looser than his subordinates...

Because his men have families and he doesn't.

"There are still many doubts..." Mu Bai twisted his sore neck, "What is the purpose of the code name C? Why did he or they provoke conflicts between the two cities?"

There is also Jinx, who is actually related to Code C...

"Don't think about that for now."

Caitlin walked around behind Mubai, and gently massaged his shoulders.

"At the very least, Code C should be dead for a long time."

"Yes." Mu Bai nodded, closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare tenderness of a girl.
