Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 117 Having a weapon and not using it are two concepts

Watching Zach turn back into a liquid form, drill into the hole and leave, Li Lin and Caitlin returned to the oil tank factory the same way.

Caitlin wrote a letter first, and found a law enforcement officer to go back to the upper city to contact Sergeant Grayson, and asked her to send an elite team down to implement the siege plan.

But Li Lin also asked her to add a word, go to the workshop of Gila Mann's house and bring the "Air Combat Mechanic Storm", along with a few hundred rounds of rifle bullets.

In places like the sewer, where the environment is claustrophobic and narrow, and the vertical drop in many places is quite large, there are too many people and it is inconvenient to move around.

It will be much easier to solve the problem with this kind of flying robot, and it can just be used to test the performance.

Afterwards, with the help of Cord and Steinbeck, Li Lin and Caitlin washed the power armor and boots with water for a long time respectively.

Caitlin even used up a bottle of perfume specially prepared by the law enforcement officers and sprayed it all on her clothes.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After about an hour and a half, Sergeant Grayson arrived at the factory with three elite teams of law enforcement officers.

Seeing the heavily armed law enforcement officers, Cord immediately ran into a staff dormitory and reminded Li Lin and Caitlin who were resting and chatting.

As soon as she went out, Caitlin just bumped into Grayson who was coming, and said hello to her: "Good afternoon, Sergeant Grayson."

Her relationship with Grayson is not bad.

Caitlyn narrowly beat Grayson in a field shooting competition held in Piltover three years ago.

Since then, the two have become friends.

"Caitlin, do you have any clues?" Grayson's tone sounded serious.

"There are clues. The murderer probably went to the middle layer of the trench along the sewer." Caitlin glanced at Li Lin beside him, "But Li Lin found a way."

"Well, as long as there is a way... by the way, Caitlin, let's take a look at this first."

Grayson took a folded piece of paper from Marcus, the adjutant behind him, unfolded it and handed it to Caitlin.

"This is……"

Caitlin raised her eyebrows, and recognized that the paper was specially used for writing reports by the Law Enforcement Department of Piltover.

"The confession of the survivor whose half body and jaw were dissolved by alchemy poison, the murderer is not human..."

In Grayson's explanation, Caitlin quickly scanned the content on the paper:
[Update: La Centava, written testimony]

[Suspect summary, as stated in the statement]

[Name/Known Name: Tuqi]

[Gender: Male (unconfirmed)]

【Age: Unknown】

[Height: about 1.5m (hunchback)]

[Weight: less than 45kg (wet)]

[Notable feature: a giant mouse]

[Status: absconding; armed; chemical poison; extremely dangerous, don't provoke]

【…】

Caitlin's face became a little ugly, "Damn, is it really a mouse..."

On her list of dislikes, the first thing she hates is cockroaches, and the second is mice.

"Also?" Grayson caught a key word in her words, "Did you also find out that the murderer was a mouse?"

"That's right, in the murderer's hiding place in the sewer, I found the hair of the plague rat. Combined with the testimony of the survivor Valorie Orante, I deduce that it is a giant rat."

Caitlin added, "I think it's most likely a mutation caused by exposure to alchemical chemical liquids that were discharged into the sewer."

"But can the alchemy liquid do this? Can it make a plague rat mutate into an existence with human emotions and thinking?"

Grayson obviously doesn't know much about alchemy technology, "Olante and Centava have mentioned it, and that mouse can talk..."

What is a mouse?I have seen life forms formed by simple alchemy poison...

Kaitlyn glanced at Li Lin beside her with flickering eyes, but did not answer Grayson's question.

"Now that we know the characteristics of the murderer, it will be much easier for us to consider the solution to it."

As he spoke, Grayson looked away, turned to Li Lin beside Caitlin, and pointed behind him.

"Mr. Li Lin, is that the robot you mentioned in Caitlin's letter?"

Li Lin looked in the direction she pointed, "That's right, thank you for your hard work."

"Where, it's just a robot, and it's not too heavy. It's not a problem for elite law enforcement officers who have undergone strict training, but..."

Grayson paused for a moment, his tone filled with curiosity: "It should be a combat robot, right? But I've never seen the gun mounted on its left hand."

"It's nothing more than a light machine gun that can be loaded with a large amount of ammunition to provide continuous fire suppression."

Li Lin roughly explained to her, "This is also the main reason why I asked you to bring hundreds of bullets."

After saying that, he went straight to the 'Storm', took out the magazine slot on its body that was specially loaded with ammunition, and beckoned several law enforcement officers to load bullets into it.

Grayson waved towards the distance, told the law enforcement officer to obey Li Lin's arrangement, and then asked Caitlin in a low voice:

"We don't have a war now. Mr. Li Lin has developed such a dangerous weapon... Councilor Gilamanen actually agreed?"

"This is an agreement made between my mother and Li Lin before, and I can't interfere with his research."

Caitlin looked at the back of the young man in the distance, her eyes softened.

No matter what, she will always stand by her lover and speak for him.

"He said that peace is based on the guarantee of force. Having weapons and not using them are two completely different concepts."

Grayson opened his mouth, but was unable to utter a word.

Li Lin's words made sense, and she didn't know what reason to refute.

After the logistics law enforcement officer filled the "Storm"'s bullet slot, Li Lin pressed a few times on the hidden position behind the robot to activate its energy supply.

With several fleeting arcs, the blue energy light gradually spread to the whole body of the robot.

Under everyone's shocked eyes, the propellers on Storm's back and legs sprayed, slowly pushing its heavy body into the air.

Caitlyn had seen the test of the storm, so it was no surprise.

But Grayson beside her was different.

"It, it..." She stuttered, her eyes were filled with astonishment, "It can still fly?"

Li Lin, who came back, happened to hear Grayson's words, and explained with a smile: "This is just a prototype, I used it for experiments, and I want to add flight functions to my power armor later."

Like Iron Man's Mark series armor...

He added another sentence in his mind.

As soon as Li Lin said this, Caitlin, who was calm just now, changed slightly, "Do you still want to fly?"

"It's not difficult, it's just a matter of energy constraints." Li Lin smiled lightly, "As long as the energy problem is solved, let alone flying, long-distance teleportation like a mage is not a problem."

"..."

Both Caitlin and Grayson shook their heads, not paying attention to Li Lin's "crazy" remarks.

After all, in this world where the overall level of technology is only at the level of the steam age, his individual flying device is no different from whimsy to the people of this world.

Through the emotions reflected in the eyes of the two, Li Lin could see that they did not believe in such a thing.

But he wasn't going to explain too much.

There is no basis for empty talk, and there will be no more doubts when a new energy core is produced and finished.

"Mr. Li Lin, I heard from Caitlin that you have a way to track down that mutant mouse. When will we start?"

It had also been a while since Grayson had arrived at the factory with his elite law enforcement officers.

Asked Grayson, who wanted to kill it before it attacked its next victim, lest the killer continue to go unpunished.

Li Lin shook his head and waved his hands to make her calm down, "Don't worry, my informant hasn't..."

Before he could finish his words, a muffled voice suddenly came from the ground, interrupting their conversation:
"Li Lin, Li Lin! I found the mouse with negative emotions you mentioned!"

　In the past two days, the old problem on the right side of the right wrist has occurred, and it started to hurt again, and it was even more sore and painful when I pressed the bone seam (*)
