Poisoning?
sleepy?
lethargy?
Combined with the strange fragrance I just smelled...
Your freaking Lillia is coming to Piltover, right?!
Li Lin's face looked very ugly. He didn't expect that someone would dare to attack even the Evolution Day Conference.
He knew very well that he was not the target, because now, except for Heimerdinger who knew that he invented the Hextech Energy Crystal, other families only knew that he invented the generator.
What's more, he hasn't even given a speech yet, so to most people, he's still just a nobody.
Since the target is not me...
Li Lin held onto a tree nearby, forcing himself to support his exhausted body, and looked towards the auditorium which was still bustling with people.
Caitlin, Jace, and the Gilamans are all inside...
Suddenly, Li Lin's eyes widened, and Caitlin's background description flashed through his mind:
During one of her evolutionary days in her youth, she returned home to find all the servants killed and her parents missing.
After going through many difficulties, Caitlin, who possesses the talent of a "famous detective", finally found her parents in the laboratory of a hostile family.
But she only found out the code name of the murderer who planned all this with the initials "C".
Many years passed since this incident. Even after Caitlin became a detective and helped the Piltover police solve many major cases and was recommended as the sheriff of Piltover, she still couldn't find out who this so-called "C" was...
After the last kidnapping and the Jiraman family's use of it to eliminate a rival family, Li Lin thought the matter was over.
But considering the time point of Evolution Day, the attacker’s target is very likely the Jiraman family!
Damn it!
Could it be that the butterfly effect of my travel through time caused the world line to change?
I've been so engrossed in researching Hextech crystals and power armor lately that I've neglected these things...
Li Lin gritted his teeth and punched the tree next to him with his fist.
However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he put it behind his mind.
Now is not the time to complain, there are more important things to deal with right now.
Li Lin focused his attention entirely on the system prompts in his mind.
The panel prompts that there are still more than ten seconds before I fall into a "sleeping" state.
He had to find a way to wake himself up when he fell asleep.
Li Lin quickly checked the entries for the "Sleepy" and "Drowsy" debuffs:
[Sleepy: Falling into a state of extreme sleepiness, mental reaction speed decreases by 70% and physical reaction speed decreases by 50%.]
【Coma: Completely lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep (can be awakened by external forces).】
When he saw the words "can be awakened by external forces", a glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in his heart.
Although there was no one around, he thought of a way - throwing stones.
The status bar on the panel just happened to have a countdown in seconds from "sleepy" to "asleep".
If you throw a stone into the sky at the last second, and you happen to fall asleep on the ground, the stone will hit you and wake you up.
You might just bleed a little and get hurt.
But in the face of the system's digitized health values, even gunshot wounds can heal extremely quickly, and being hit by a stone can be said to be painless.
I quickly thought about what to do next, as there were only a few seconds left before I fell into a "sleep".
Li Lin hurriedly picked up a palm-sized stone from the roadside to ensure that he would feel enough pain when it hit him.
Afterwards, Li Lin activated his [Data Thinking] skill and accurately calculated the force he needed, the time and location of the stone's landing.
However, although the idea is beautiful, there are always various unexpected things in reality.
When there were only three seconds left, Li Lin was about to throw the stone in his hand when a strange fragrance wafted through the air again.
"Oh no..." Before Li Lin could react, his consciousness became blurred and his weak hands could no longer hold the stone.
Then, his eyes went dark, his whole body instantly went limp, and he fell to the ground with a "thump".
…
…
Not knowing how long he had slept, Li Lin, who was in a daze, heard someone seem to be pushing his body.
"Sir... Sir, wake up!"
It sounded like a young girl's voice, but it was unfamiliar.
What... happened?
What’s wrong with me…
Li Lin felt as if his head was split open by a knife, and it hurt so much. His body was limp and he had no strength at all.
"Wake up, sir, you can't sleep here!"
At the girl's call, Li Lin's consciousness gradually returned.
He slowly opened his heavy eyelids, and in the dim environment, the blurry world in front of him gradually returned to normal.
Li Lin looked blankly towards the source of the sound.
She was a girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old.
She wore light makeup and an exquisite white evening gown. Her brown shoulder-length hair was tied back with a hairpin, and her sapphire blue eyes were filled with worry.
Just like an elf walking out of a fantasy world.
The girl knelt beside Li Lin, and gently patted his face with her cool and smooth little hand.
Seeing him finally open his eyes, the girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "The gears are turning! You're finally awake, sir!"
Li Lin's mind was still a little confused, "You...are?"
"My name is Oriana Leveque, and I just found you lying on a path in the woods while I was wandering around campus."
Orianna...Clockwork?!
