Chapter 278 The Existence Time of the Wildfire Gang Assassins
Lower urban area.
The dark and damp outermost area, close to the ravines and canyons of Zaun.
This is a forgotten corner of the world. Compared with the prosperity of the inner city of Piltover, it is full of poverty, chaos and disorder.
Even the night wind is afraid of this desolate place and does not dare to blow easily.
Deep in the dim ravine, there are strange-shaped holes, like wounds in the earth, mixed in between cracks, bottomless.
Professor Heimerdinger, wearing a cloak, stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the dark cave entrance below.
The rancid smell in the air made him a little uncomfortable.
But his eyes were firm and profound.
Professor Heimerdinger looked back at Piltover, who was gradually waking up, and tightened his hood to ensure that he could be better hidden in the shadow of the cloak.
Then he chose a huge dark hole and stepped inside.
Inside the deep cave.
The darkness surged like a tide, like a beast with a huge mouth, mercilessly swallowing up all the light
Professor Heimerdinger looked calm, walking slowly along the rugged mountain road walk.
Gradually, the roads in the cave become more complicated, with endless curves and forks.
Professor Heimerdinger seemed to be very familiar with everything here. He was very skillful in bypassing obstacles and passing through patches of darkness.
Until he came to a black door made of metal, he stopped.
Looking up at the building in front of him, Professor Heimerdinger's eyes flickered, his expression full of admiration.
This giant steel door and the internal structure of the mountain are almost integrated into one, as if it is a miracle created by the uncanny craftsmanship of nature and the crystallization of human technology.
It is like a guardian, silently guarding the world behind it.
If someone tries to attack by force, it may cause the mountain to collapse, burying all enemies in the cave.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly.
Green fireflies fell from the darkness and surrounded Professor Heimerdinger.
Looking carefully, the so-called fireflies are clearly figures riding dark green skateboards and wearing masks.
The weapons in their hands lit up with green light, like ghostly flames, pointing towards the cloaked Heimerdinger.
“It’s me.”
Faced with the threat in front of him, Professor Heimerdinger took off his hood, revealing a striking golden afro.
After seeing Heimerdinger.
A tall figure fell down, and the other figures dispersed and disappeared into the dark cave.
"Follow me, Professor."
The tall figure wore a doll-like mask that covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that shone coldly.
Professor Heimerdinger followed the tall figure to the left side of the giant metal door.
Here, he found a small metal door, cleverly hidden under the engraved patterns, becoming a secret passage.
With the dim light, Professor Heimerdinger can clearly see that the metal door leaf is very delicately designed.
Although it is far less spectacular than the giant steel door, it has a cold sense of technology and the metal lines are hard.
The moment you pass through the metal door.
Professor Heimerdinger felt the darkness being quickly pulled apart like a curtain, and soft light filled his field of vision.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes to let his pupils adapt to the changes in light.
Then he took a deep breath and felt the air in the unfamiliar space.
What appeared in Professor Heimerdinger's field of vision was a huge canyon that was completely hollowed out, vast and deep.
The surrounding stone walls have been carefully polished to give a steel-like texture.
It is inlaid with gem-like incandescent lamps, which shed soft light.
In the flowing air, there is neither the green haze of Zaun nor the rancid smell that fills the cave.
In its place is an unusually fresh smell, which seems to carry the fragrance and vitality of nature.
Professor Heimerdinger stepped forward, and the scene in front of him gradually broadened.
He was surprised to find that compared to the scenes he had seen before, this place was almost a green world.
I saw a huge tree standing in the middle of the canyon, soaring into the sky.
The emerald green canopy is lush and dense, the branches stretch out and countless green wickers hang down.
Soft light shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow.
Professor Heimerdinger also saw many children playing on hoverboards near the giant tree.
They wear wooden masks.
These masks seem to have a rather strange design, which is both a bit weird and a bit childlike.
Children are like fireflies chasing each other among the green branches and leaves, and their laughter and laughter echo in the canyon.
Professor Heimerdinger stood aside and quietly observed the children.
Their carefreeness and pure happiness were completely different from the current Piltover, making him feel relaxed and happy that he had not seen for a long time.
He even felt much younger.
"Hey, Professor, long time no see."
Behind Professor Heimerdinger, a punk youth with black skin and white hair walked over.
A layer of white mark is applied to his face, which is clearly distinguishable from the black skin, adding a unique personality.
There is a bright red scarf around his neck, and a black metal earphone is decorated on the outside.
As he walked, his white braided hair swayed slightly.
"Ike, long time no see!"
Professor Heimerdinger looked at the young man in front of him and greeted him with a smile.
Everything in the canyon in front of you is Ike's creation. In a short life, such a majestic invention was completed.
Although its existence is dependent on Piltover and Zaun, it is also an enviable paradise.
Ike took Professor Heimerdinger to the crown of the giant tree.
This seems to be a small world suspended in the air.
The wooden fence cleverly wraps around the branches, providing a safe place for the two to stand.
The breeze blew gently, bringing fresh air and the rustling of leaves.
Shared by Professor Heimerdinger.
Ike also gradually understood the recent major events in Piltover and Zaun.
“I didn’t expect that the Eye of Zuan would really resurrect. In that case, the intelligence collected before can be matched.”
He looked at the leisurely crowd gathered below and lowered his voice. He lowered his eyes and immersed himself back into the world he created.
"During the time when Silko and the Eye of Zaun ruled Zaun, most of the people in the Undercity were infected with the Shimmer."
"He didn't care at all about the damage the Shimmer did to the human body."
"Ordinary people in Zaun at that time were either addicted or died."
Heimerdinger overlooked the magnificent scenery in the canyon created by the combination of technology and nature.
“So, you created this paradise and left the spark of hope in Zaun.”
"No, it's not just me."
Ike smiled and shook his head, pointing to everyone in the canyon: "It's the result of our joint efforts."
The two continued to talk softly, Conversations with each other were filled with respect and appreciation.
They not only exchange ideas about invention and creation, but also share their understanding of life and the world.
Ike lowered his eyes and looked at the old pocket watch in his hand.
Then he raised his head, met Professor Heimerdinger's eyes, and asked softly.
"Tell me, Professor, is there anything you need my help with?"
Hearing this, Professor Heimerdinger showed hesitation on his plush face, thinking about how to speak, so that Ike understood his request better.
Finally, he spoke bluntly.
"Ike, I need you to get to Stillwater Prison."
After hearing this request, Ike did not show a surprised expression, but showed calmness and concentration.
Because he understood that Professor Heimerdinger would not make such a request easily. Since he made it, it must be for a very important reason.
"Stillwater Prison. I've heard of it." Ike whispered.
"It is a place where many dangerous criminals are imprisoned. Professor, what do you need me to do?"
"Stillwater Prison may be a secret experimental base for the forces behind the Eye of Zaun." Black Professor Merdinger whispered.
"I need you to use your time ability to sneak into the prison and explore the situation inside."
"If possible, it is best to bring out the secrets inside."
Ike listened Finally, he shrugged his shoulders and a confident smile appeared on his face.
"I understand, professor, leave it to me."
He turned around and walked to the edge of the fence, exhaled lightly, and roared loudly.
"Wildfire Gang!"
Ike's voice echoed above the tree canopy, seeming to awaken the power in the canyon.
In an instant!
Many responses came from all directions.
I saw green fireflies crossing the leaves and falling one after another.
They surrounded Ike with brilliant light.
The rays of the morning sun are like paint, gradually dyeing the sky red.
Professor Heimerdinger ended his meeting with Ike and returned to the upper town of Piltover.
He witnessed the bustling scene in the atmosphere of Evolution Day along the way.
The streets are bustling with people, and various strange inventions and machines show their charm in the hands of inventors.
Professor Heimerdinger stopped in front of the Piltover Parliament.
He took off his cloak, straightened his appearance, and entered the parliament.
As soon as he entered the corridor, he saw Huo Jixing, who had arrived early, looking at him with a smile.
Professor Heimerdinger smiled back, but he couldn't help but think of yesterday's research results with Jace.
When something that has never been touched appears in front of you, no one can remain indifferent.
The metal parts of the Source Project warriors are like this for inventors.
Push open the heavy door.
Professor Heimerdinger entered the parliament hall and found that the members were gathering in twos and threes.
They were standing or sitting, chatting one after another, and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed.
There is no hint that they were affected by the events of the Eye of Zaun and Stillwater Prison.
Professor Heimerdinger suppressed his inner emotions and walked to his seat.
As he walked to his seat, he nodded to the legislators and also captured some key words from their conversations.
Words such as the Eye of Zaun, Stillwater Prison, and technological power frequently appeared in their conversations.
These contents made Professor Heimerdinger feel slightly better.
Seeing Professor Heimerdinger and Huo Jixing entering the hall, the members present also realized that the meeting was about to begin.
