Li Lin turned on the light on the power armor and looked at the hole in the corner.
He was currently about two meters away from the sewer floor, where a foul smell was emanating and the sound of running water was heard.
After finding the right position, Li Lin squatted down, put his hands on the ground and entered the cave.
He tried to avoid jumping in too directly and splashing the foul liquid too high.
With the sound of "puff" as his footsteps came into contact with the slightly sticky sewage, Li Lin unconsciously felt a chill spread throughout his body.
Even with the mask's respiratory filter, he could still smell a distinct stench.
Fortunately, Zaun's sewers were designed by excellent craftsmen from the big families of Piltover, so the height is acceptable.
At least with the armor on, he didn't have to bend over when walking.
But the passage is only two meters wide, which makes it difficult for two adults to walk side by side.
This is also the main reason why Caitlin said that there are too many people and the actions will be greatly restricted.
"Ugh... so disgusting!" Li Lin forced himself to suppress the urge to retch. "I won't be able to keep this set of armor after we get out..."
I don't know how the law enforcement officers of the investigation team endured such an environment this morning.
"Hey, what's the situation down there?" Caitlin's voice came from Li Lin's head.
He quickly glanced back and forth. The light dispelled the darkness a few meters ahead, but it was still pitch black ahead.
There is nothing abnormal yet.
However, Li Lin knew very well that Tuqi had a skill to enter the [Steal] state in the game.
Although I don’t know how this kind of “invisibility” skill is achieved in reality, I also don’t know if Twitch can still be invisible like in the game.
Li Lin was still cautious and turned on [Data-driven Thinking] in advance just in case.
"No problem for now." He looked up and responded to Caitlin.
"Okay, I'll be down then. Pick me up."
Li Lin looked up at the hole above his head, raised his hands, and tried to shorten the distance between himself and Caitlin.
After she adjusted her position and slid down, she landed right in Li Lin's arms.
"Should I put you down?"
"Of course, you asked..."
Caitlin glanced down at the muddy ground below her, a flicker of hesitation crossing her face.
However, adhering to her professionalism, she gritted her teeth and asked Li Lin to lower his arms and step lightly on the ground.
"Tsk, luckily I'm wearing long boots today." Caitlin complained in a low voice.
But I can’t keep this outfit when I go back…
She was very depressed and had the same idea as Li Lin.
Then, Caitlin quickly adjusted her state, patted her armored arm, walked behind him, raised her gun and entered alert status.
"You're wearing armor, so go ahead and I'll be on guard behind you."
Li Lin nodded. "If you find anything unusual, be sure to alert me. That guy is using a crossbow and also has alchemical poison."
"Um."
After getting Caitlin's response, he slowly walked forward.
This environment, free from filth and unaffected by excessive human influence, is a paradise for countless creatures.
Bloodthirsty flies, plague rats, shadow rabbits, jade beetles, and even the larvae of the demon frog...
Along the way, Li Lin and Caitlin both remained silent and maintained high vigilance.
Caitlin had difficulty concentrating fully due to the influence of the environment and various creatures.
Li Lin was afraid that Tuqi, who had somehow become "invisible", would suddenly jump out from a corner and throw a bottle of alchemical poison at them.
Fortunately, there are no other branches in this section of the sewer, so they only need to pay attention to one direction.
After walking for more than ten minutes in the dim and smelly environment, they finally left the narrow and depressing sewer passage and came to a relatively spacious transfer platform.
Only after Li Lin confirmed that there was nothing unusual around did Caitlin walk out of the passage, turn over and walk onto the relatively cleaner platform, frowning and stomping her feet.
Then, she turned her gaze and quickly took in the surroundings.
A metal frame and rotten wooden boards taken from some garbage dump were made into a small item rack.
In the innermost, relatively clean corner of the platform, there was a pile of crumpled dirty rags and damp newspapers, which looked like the murderer's resting place.
There was also a large pile of broken glass bottles discarded carelessly on the side near the sewage, mixed with a green liquid that was exactly the same as the residual alchemical poison that corroded the equipment in the factory basement.
As for the glass jars filled with fingers and toes, the romance novels scribbled with crayons, the tightly sealed chewing gum, and the unlabeled glass bottles filled with green liquid mentioned in the investigation team's case report, they have all been taken back to the law enforcement department by law enforcement officers as evidence.
"This is the murderer's hideout that the investigation team's law enforcement officers mentioned..."
Caitlin frowned and walked to the "bed" in the corner, carefully searching the ground for any possible clues.
Li Lin, whose detective thinking was not very good, quietly stayed beside her, turned on the weapon system, and looked around at several sewer passage branches with vigilance.
As a transit platform, the danger here is much more dangerous than the passage they just came from.
After a while, Caitlin stood up and summarized the problems she had discovered with her eyes downcast:
"Judging from the marks left on the ground, the murderer was about 1.4 meters tall. Yodels are generally no taller than 1 meter, so it can be confirmed that he was a dwarf."
In fact, it was really just a giant mutated rat...
Li Lin wanted to tell Caitlin that the survivor Hua Luoli's description of the murderer was correct.
