Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

Poisoned?

sleepy?

lethargy?

Combined with the inexplicable fragrance I just smelled...

Your special Lilia came to Piltover, right? !

Li Lin's face was 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 Heimerdinger who knew that he invented the Hex Energy Crystal, the 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 is just a nobody.

Since the target is not myself...

Li Lin held on to a tree next to him, forced his exhausted body, and looked towards the auditorium, which was still full of people.

Caitlin, Jess, and the Gila Manns are all in there...

Suddenly, Li Lin's eyes widened, and Caitlin's background description flashed in his mind:

During one of her youthful days, she returned home to find that all her servants had been killed and her parents were missing.

After going through many difficulties, Caitlin, who has the talent of being a "famous detective", finally found her parents in the laboratory of a rival family.

As for the murderer behind all this planning, she only found out the code name with the initials "C".

Many years passed after this incident. Until Caitlin, who became a detective, helped the Piltover police solve many major cases and was recommended as the captain of Piltover, she still did not find out who the so-called "C" was...

After experiencing the last kidnapping and the Gila Mann family's use of it to solve a rival family, Li Lin thought that the matter was over.

Coupled with the time point of Evolution Day, the attacker's target is likely to be the Gila Mann family!

Damn it!

Could it be the butterfly effect from my time traveling that caused the world line to change?

I have been so focused on researching Hex crystals and power armor lately that I have completely ignored these things...

Li Lin gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and hammered the tree next to him.

But as soon as this thought emerged, he was thrown out of his mind.

Now is not the time to complain, there are more important things to solve right now.

Li Lin focused entirely on the system prompts in his mind.

The panel prompts that there are still more than ten seconds before he falls into "sleep" state.

He had to find a way to wake himself up when he would fall asleep.

Li Lin quickly checked the entries for the "sleepy" and "drowsy" debuffs:

[Drowsiness: Falling into a state of extreme sleepiness, the thinking reaction speed is reduced by 70%, and the body reaction speed is reduced by 50%. 】

[Drowning: completely losing consciousness and falling into a deep sleep (can be awakened by external force). 】

When he saw "can be awakened by external force", some hope suddenly emerged in his heart.

Although there were no outsiders around, he thought of a way - to throw stones.

It just so happened that the status bar of the panel prompted a countdown of seconds from "drowsy" to "drowsy".

If you throw a stone into the sky at the last second, and you happen to fall to the ground while you are asleep, the stone hits you and wakes you up.

It's just that you might bleed a little and get hurt.

But in the face of the system's digitized health value, even gunshot wounds can be healed extremely quickly, and being hit by a rock can be said to be painless.

Quickly think about what to do next, there are only a few seconds left to enter "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.

Later, Li Lin activated the [Data-based Thinking] skill and accurately calculated the strength he needed, as well as the time and location of the stone's landing.

However, the idea is beautiful, but in reality there are always various surprises.

When there were only the last three seconds left, Li Lin was about to throw the stone in his hand when a strange fragrance wafted in the air again.

"Oops..." Before Li Lin could react, his consciousness blurred and his weak hands could no longer hold the stone.

Immediately afterwards, his vision went dark, his whole body instantly softened, and he fell to the ground with a "thud".

…

…

He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but Li Lin, who was in a daze, heard someone pushing his body.

"Sir...Sir, wake up!"

It sounded like a girl's voice, but unfamiliar.

what happened?

What's wrong with me……

Li Lin felt as if his head was in severe pain as if it had been split open with a knife, and his body was limp and without any strength.

"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. In the dark environment, the blurry world in front of him gradually returned to normal.

Li Lin looked blankly at the place where the sound came from.

It was a girl who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

She wore light makeup and an exquisite white evening dress. Her brown shoulder-length hair was tied back with a hairpin, and her sapphire blue eyes were full of worry.

Like an elf walking out of a fantasy world.

The girl knelt down next to Li Lin and patted his face gently with a cold, smooth hand.

Seeing that he finally opened his eyes, the girl couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "The gears are turning in the right direction! You are finally awake, sir!"

Li Lin's mind was still a little confused, "You...are you?"

"My name is Orianna Levick, and I was just walking around campus when I found you lying on a path in the woods."

Orianna... Clockwork? !

Li Lin stared at the girl's blue eyes and was stunned for a long time.

In the current timeline, has Orianna not been transformed into a mechanical body due to illness?

As if she was a little embarrassed by Li Lin's straightforward eyes, Orianna's face turned slightly red, she looked away from him, pouted her cherry-pink mouth, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Sir, since you're drunk, don't hang out outside. If you sleep here in the winter, not only will your relatives and friends worry about you, but you will also get sick.

She paused and continued: "I think you are also here to attend the Evolution Day Conference, right? How about I send you to find your relatives or friends?"

Li Lin drank a lot of wine while socializing.

Although the alcohol level was not high, he still smelled faintly of alcohol.

Therefore, Orianna concluded that he must have been drunk and wanted to get some air, but ended up accidentally sleeping outside.

"I'm not here because I'm drunk..."

With Orianna's help, Li Lin struggled to sit up and pressed his hands on his painful temples a few times.

How did I... faint?

The broken memory fragments were reassembled, and Li Lin recalled everything that had happened before, "Poisoned...yes!"

He was startled and hurriedly grabbed Orianna's shoulders, "How long have I been unconscious here?!"

Orianna was startled by Li Lin's actions, "I, I just came here... at least it should have been five minutes since I saw you..."

"Five minutes..." Li Lin's pupils shrank slightly and he stood up hurriedly.

It's just that there are still some toxins left in his body and he has not fully recovered.

He just took a step, but his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground again.

Fortunately, Orianna was quick to help him out, "Sir! Are you okay?"

"without……"

Li Lin waved his hand and looked at his personal status bar:

[Personal status: paralysis]

[Effect: Temporary loss of some sensory abilities and motor functions, lasting 10 minutes. 】

Damn it!

Li Lin cursed in his heart, then looked sideways at Orianna and asked hurriedly: "Did you come out of the auditorium? Did anything happen inside?"

"Eh?" Orianna was stunned for a moment by the question, and then shook her head, "No, I think it's too stuffy inside. I came out to wander around the campus more than half an hour ago..."

Seeing Li Lin's serious expression, she thought that her father was in the auditorium, and she couldn't help but become nervous, "What happened?"

"I don't know yet." Li Lin exhaled heavily, "But Miss Li Weike, I urgently need your help now."
