Oswald Asylum is relatively close to the alchemy workshop area where the Harker family is located.
Because of Li Lin's commission and appointment, Hake became the inspection team leader of the tidal power station. He no longer had an unstable business job, and his quality of life improved a lot.
Not only him, but many of Vandel's men also found a job to survive because of Li Lin. They were no longer idle as usual and would do odd jobs for a few days when they had no money.
Today, Li Lin was going to solve another problem that threatened the citizens of the Middle Square, and Fandel naturally strongly supported him.
He used the newly installed phone in the store to notify his trusted subordinates Benso, Sevika, Code and others, asking them to gather a group of people and ambush outside Oswald Asylum, trying not to be discovered.
Let Li Lin use the unmanned reconnaissance hovering ball to investigate first. If he can find evidence, he will catch these unscrupulous scum in one fell swoop.
Li Lin was very surprised. This was the first time that Vander took the initiative to wipe out the power of an alchemy baron. He didn't even do so to Hillco, who had a weak power at the time.
It seems that this Raymond Keane has really touched his bottom line.
Less than two hours later, outside Oswald Asylum.
Li Lin, Caitlin, Kasa, Fandel, and the latecomers Benso, Sevika, Code and others gathered on the top floor of a nearby apartment building.
Li Lin spent a few gold coins to ask the original owner of the apartment to find another place to live, and the other party happily accepted.
This place just happens to overlook most of the free activity area outside the asylum.
Caitlin had already assembled her Iron Blood, placed it on the windowsill, and flipped the switch with her thumb, switching it to the non-lethal "shock bullet" mode.
She placed the butt of the rifle against her shoulder, her cheek pressed against the metal lining, and her right eye observed the situation below through the optical sniper scope.
"There are currently 17 patients and 23 staff members, 13 of whom are guards equipped with alchemical firearms and Hextech carbines. Eight of them are wearing white coats and look like doctors. The other two are dressed in very special attire.
"One was dressed in a suit and tie, holding a cane and wearing a tall hat. At first glance, he looked like a member of upper-class society in the upper city. The other was dressed in a tattered brown-gray coat and bronze alchemical armor."
Vander also observed the situation through his monocular. "The guy in the aristocratic dress is Oswald, the director of this insane asylum. The guy next to him is Raymond Keen."
Caitlin looked away, her expression serious. "Why would a mental hospital be equipped with enough firepower to fight a small battle? Just to defend against those mentally ill people? This is definitely not a normal mental hospital."
"Oswald used to be a butcher, but because he used alchemical potions to conduct live experiments on animals and sold their meat to unsuspecting people, he was reported by his neighbors and arrested several times by the Piltover police.
"Two years ago, he was packaged by Baron Raymond Keene and transformed into the director of this insane asylum." Sevika sneered, and her hoarse and low voice echoed in the small room.
"I heard from Hake that Oswald often wandered around the alchemy workshop downstairs from his house to buy potions," Code added.
"It's useless to say this now. We still need evidence, otherwise the Piltover police will have no reason to arrest these people."
As Li Lin spoke, he controlled the armor on his belt to expand infinitely. Two black iron blocks quickly expanded and turned into a sphere that slowly rose into the air.
He fiddled with the two drones until the holographic display showed their field of view.
After ensuring the network connection was correct, he maneuvered the reconnaissance plane into the asylum through a half-open window on the second floor.
The drone is very fast and virtually silent.
This is a new technology that even the craftsmen and scientists in Piltover have never seen before.
Coupled with the unique steel grid style of Zaun architecture, this mini drone has too many places to hide itself.
Just be careful so the thug guards patrolling the asylum don't notice anything unusual.
However, at the current stage, the network connection range between the Infinite Armor and the drone is only 200 meters, and it can only explore one-third of the asylum at most.
If there is a very critical place that cannot be explored, Li Lin decides to activate [Ultra-long-distance control] to increase the real-time network connection range to 600 meters.
Although this effect only lasts for 2 hours and the drone's shared network device will be scrapped after the time limit, it is still enough.
The second-floor corridor of the mental hospital leading to the stairs was blocked by a lattice fence and an iron gate, which was locked. Two strong guards with telescopic sticks and folding knives hanging from their waists were guarding outside the iron gate.
On the other side, the dim alchemical technology lights reflected from the dark green metal walls, coupled with the occasional wind blowing through the metal gaps, sounded like the wailing of women and children, adding a strange and terrifying atmosphere to this empty and deserted corridor.
Li Lin stared at the screen intently, "I'm going in."
"What's going on?" Caitlin asked hurriedly.
"This floor... should be the living area for the patients."
The drone transmitted images showing rows of heavy steel doors, the kind found only in explosion-proof rooms or shelters, fitting seamlessly into the metal walls of the corridor.
A round, dim, one-way explosion-proof glass is located in the center of the door. The internal situation can be observed from the outside, but not even a trace of light from outside can be seen from inside.
Li Lin controlled a drone to monitor the movements of the guards outside the iron gate, and another drone quickly flew over the one-way glass on the front of each explosion-proof door.
The structure inside each room is even simpler.
