Piltover University, in Heimerdinger's laboratory.
Heimerdinger was typing on the computer and explaining quantum theory to Viktor beside him, and then showing him the principle of the super-space teleportation device.
Li Lin sat on the side, occasionally supplementing what Victor didn't understand, but most of the time his attention was on the glasses in front of him.
After the sixth-generation Infinity Armor separated from Jayce, it did not return to the workshop, but was remotely controlled by Li Lin, entering an optical camouflage state to secretly monitor visitors.
Knowing that this old Noxian woman was Mel's mother, Li Lin didn't intend to pay too much attention to her until Katarina appeared, which surprised him.
Katarina du Ceau, the eldest daughter of the master assassin and legendary Noxian general du Ceau, has been entrusted by her father with the hope of inheriting the assassin's way since she was a child.
Her childhood was one of restlessness. She trained herself constantly in sword-wielding skills, physical strength, dexterity, and tolerance to pain, hoping to hone herself into the ultimate weapon to cut down the enemies of the empire and strive to achieve the highest achievement in the assassin world - the title of "Ominous Blade".
Li Lin knew Catalina well enough and knew that everything she did was to be able to serve the empire and the royal power like her father.
However, when she first accepted Du Kecao's commission to assassinate the backbone of the enemy forces, a hero who was only a squad leader, she felt indignant and thought that a country bumpkin was not worth her effort.
Therefore, she chose to ignore her father's orders, bypass her target, and assassinate the commander of the hostile force instead. As a result, the captain led the angry soldiers, killed dozens of Noxian guards, and almost killed Du Kekao with his own hands.
After this battle, Du Kecao, who escaped death, believed that Catalina was a disgrace to the family, and sent his most proud disciple, Tyrone, to clean up the mess.
However, he underestimated Katarina's determination and strength.
Tyrone secretly attacked her, leaving a scar on her left eye that could never be removed.
Even with her face stained with blood, Katarina subconsciously grabbed her serrated dagger. When she noticed another enemy approaching, she killed all the invaders with lightning speed.
In the following hours, she threw the head of her original target in front of her father, but she lost his favor forever and could not get it back.
It was not until Du Kecao disappeared inexplicably and no one heard from him again that Katarina came into contact with Jericho Swain and was valued by the commander-in-chief. Only then did she decide not to live in the shadow of her father's humiliation anymore and to serve the empire wholeheartedly.
Li Lin didn't know the specific timeline of Catalina's first mission for Du Kecao, but judging from the scar on her left eye, she must have fallen out with her father long ago and was assassinated by Tyrone.
If she had already lost Du Kokael's trust, why was she sent to Piltover?
I have never been to Noxus. Even if it causes a butterfly effect, it won't allow Swain to contact Katarina in advance and send her to Piltover to gather intelligence without going through Du Caucasus, right?
Ramo, who represents secrets, has such a strong predictive ability, even more powerful than the ascenders?
Even if that were the case, with Swain's wisdom, he wouldn't resort to such an open and aboveboard approach.
Li Lin's brain worked as fast as a supercomputer, and he soon came up with several guesses.
The most reliable one is that Catalina is just a cover, and Du Kecao may have secretly sent other people to investigate himself.
When the armor used its special function to scan the surroundings, penetrating the visors on the waiting Noxian soldiers and revealing everyone's faces, Li Lin suddenly noticed a very unfamiliar, yet slightly familiar face.
Soon, he compared this face with the familiar faces in his mind one by one, and roughly determined the identity of this person - Blade Shadow Tyrone.
Since Talon's face was always under the shadow of the hood in the original game paintings, Li Lin still relied on his own impression to compare it with the only skin with the whole face exposed, "Legend of the Jade Sword: Shadowless", and could not be completely sure.
However, the other party's subsequent actions were tantamount to confessing themselves, directly confirming his thoughts.
After Katarina and Anbesa left on the sightseeing airship, a group of Noxian soldiers also returned to the airship in formation.
But the soldier whom Li Lin mistook for Talon took advantage of the blind spot of their leader's vision and quickly slipped behind a cover, dropped his weapon, and took off his Noxian soldier's clothes, revealing the slightly wrinkled but very trendy Piltover clothes inside.
The next moment, Mel, Jace and Irola, the only three people left in the waiting hall, took the elevator and left. He also quickly walked up the stairs to a height about the same as other houses, opened the window and jumped, jumping four or five meters away and landing steadily on the roof at the other end of the path across.
The man moved swiftly and agilely, without any hesitation. He landed on the balcony in just three or two steps, opened the locked balcony door in less than two seconds, and walked into the house calmly, as if he was the owner of the house.
After watching what this young man who looked like Tyrone did, Li Lin couldn't help but sigh that his speed in climbing over the wall and unlocking the door was even faster than that of Baobao and Wei's group of kids.
Li Lin was almost certain that the man was Talon. He was certain that the other party's target was most likely himself, so he told Heimerdinger that he had something to go out for, walked out of the office door, and immediately covered his body with armor.
Afterwards, he set the coordinates, transmitted them to the sixth-generation battle armor to confirm, approached Tyrone's unmanned position, then recalled the sixth-generation battle armor used for remote monitoring and put himself into optical camouflage posture.
