The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 267 Singed’s research on cells and genes

Deep in Zuan.

Singed's alchemical laboratory.

Huo Jixing pushed open the heavy iron door with traces of repairs, walked along the flat metal corridor, and entered the core laboratory.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, a low howling sound reached Huo Jixing's ears.

Looking towards the source of the sound, he saw Warwick, the Raging Beast of Zaun, being imprisoned in a glass cage made of ribbed steel.

The wild posture of the past is gone. Each of its strong limbs is connected to a transparent alchemy pipe, and green blood flows slowly.

The intricate fluid storage tank on the back has been removed, and the body covered in dark green hair seems to have been drained of all its strength, looking extremely weak.

Huo Jixing also noticed that most of Warwick's forelimbs that he had chopped off had regenerated, and sharp claws were also pointed.

Even though it was so miserable, the wildness and fierceness in Warwick's eyes did not diminish at all, on the contrary, they became more intense.

"Unexpected bonus, please help me find out what kind of craftsmanship and material it is." Huo Jixing asked aloud.

"This craftsmanship and this material."

Moreover, he also saw traces of self-destruction inside the parts.

pat!pat!
Two metal parts of different colors landed on the alchemy workbench, attracting Singed's attention.

Seeing the solemn look on Huo Jixing's face, Xingjid put down the glassware in his hand.

But Huo Jixing could still sense Xingid's inner shock.

Xingjid didn't wait for Huo Jixing's answer and continued to mutter to himself, with strong interest in his eyes.

From the smooth marks left on the edge, it can be confirmed that it was cut off directly with a sharp weapon.

Although no emotional changes can be seen from the necrotic facial nerves.

Huo Jixing ignored Warwick, crossed the cage, walked to the alchemy workbench, and saw Singed busy.

Huo Jixing could only praise Xingid in one sentence.

Xingjid nodded slowly as he thought of Huo Jixing's terrifying strength.

As an alchemist, Singed has a very in-depth study and understanding of metals and alchemy.

He turned the direction of the purple metal parts and observed the details from different angles.

"Self-destruct program?"

Singed carefully observed the parts in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

But obviously, he is now a little powerless and can only send out incompetent rage.

Then he looked at the scene in the laboratory and had to admire Singed in his heart.

Singed, the well-known alchemist in Zaun and Piltover, still maintains his endless love for alchemy.

Smelling Huo Jixing's breath, Warwick immediately turned his head, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he roared in a low voice, trying to break free from the constraints of the alchemy pipeline.

Huo Jixing recalled the battle that had just ended and shook his head slightly.

"Where did you get this?"

Then, he stretched out his hand, gently picked up the purple metal part, and observed it carefully.

He was wearing an old white robe, holding a glass vessel in his hand, and was concentrating on preparing potions.

But after observing, his pupils instantly contracted and his movements became extremely cautious.

In the broken wrist parts, he saw a mercury-like liquid, glazed blood vessels and slender metal veins.

On the alchemy workbench in front of him, glass test tubes were hung at different heights. The liquid inside was colorful and bubbles would appear from time to time.

"I saw traces of Hex technology and alchemy technology. No, is this blood instead of lubricant?"

Singed looked enthusiastic and couldn't wait to use the alchemy workbench to further inspect and analyze the two metal parts.

"Is this the end?"

Singed frowned slightly, as if he was surprised by these two metal parts.

Originally, Singed had a cold expression.

"Not the end, but the beginning."

Hearing the footsteps, Xingjid turned around and looked over, looking slightly surprised when he saw it was Huo Jixing.

Huo Jixing looked at Xingid quietly, with some expectation in his heart.

At the same time, these colorful liquids emit different smells, some are pungent, some are fragrant, and some are unpleasant when mixed together.

One is orange and the other is purple and looks like a precision part of the wrist.

Its surface is very soft and smooth, and after fine polishing and processing, it feels like human skin.

Then his eyes fell on the two metal parts on the alchemy workbench.

As soon as the transaction was completed, he returned to his laboratory and devoted himself to alchemical research.

Don't be afraid that others are more talented than you, but be afraid that people who are more talented than you will work harder than you.

Maybe he can parse some information from these two metal parts.

As time goes by.

Xingid, who was busy at the alchemy workbench, gradually entered a state of excitement.

He used his own alchemical tools to conduct comprehensive analysis and research on the two metal parts.

The more in-depth the research went on, the more excited Singed became.

Whether it was the internal structure or the subtle fluctuations in ability observed with special instruments, it gave him a refreshing feeling.

"Incredible!"

"Incredible!"

Xingjid raised his head, looked at Huo Jixing, and said two incredible words in a row, with uncontrollable excitement and surprise in his tone.

"The craftsmanship and materials of these two metal parts are definitely not something that Zaun's current technology can produce."

"They seem to be a fusion of Hex technology and alchemy technology. I also saw the ingredients of the shimmer potion." "And they seem to have some unknown technologies and secrets."

Singed's eyes flickered, realizing that there was definitely a secret hidden behind the two metal parts in front of him.

And this secret could have a huge impact on his alchemical research.

Not only alchemy, but Hextech that no one dares to mention.

"After the research just now, I have gained something here."

“On the liquid remaining inside these metal parts, I decomposed human cells and genes.”

Xingid picked up a glass vessel and shook it gently.

I saw a silver substance sinking into the almost transparent liquid.

It mixes with the liquid and forms a denser bead that clings to the bottom.

"Human cells and genes?"

Huo Jixing's heart moved when he thought of the two Source Project soldiers who had just self-destructed.

Source Plan Judgment and Source Plan Purification correspond to Wei and Vayne.

"Wait, Vayne?"

Huo Jixing frowned and quickly recalled the Piltover caravan he had encountered in the Kingdom of Demacia.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"Fenglian Town, the demon, the injured Vayne, and the Piltover caravan that left in a hurry after the battle."

"The forces behind the Eye of Zaun are secretly collecting the flesh and blood cells of all heroes on Valoran?"

Huo Jixing was suddenly startled by the idea that came to his mind and felt inexplicably shocked.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the restless thoughts in his heart.

Then he thought about it more and it seemed like it might actually happen.

Xingid noticed Huo Jixing's emotional changes from the side and thought he had discovered something, so he waited a little hungrily.

However, Huo Jixing did not directly express his guess.

Because such a terrifying guess requires more evidence to verify and support, he decided to hide it for the time being.

"Can you help me analyze their ingredients?"

Huo Jixing spoke in a deep voice and brought the topic back to the analysis of metal parts.

He hopes to get closer to the truth by understanding the composition of the metal parts of the Source Project fighters.

Xingjid suppressed the disappointment deep in his heart and nodded, understanding what Huo Jixing meant.

"Of course, but I need some time, and I'm ready to move out of this alchemy laboratory."

"It's no longer safe here."

Huo Jixing heard Xingjid's words and immediately understood what he meant.

He looked around and saw many alchemy experiment items placed in the corner, which looked like they were about to be moved.

Indeed, both his arrival and Warwick's raid have made this alchemy laboratory no longer secretive.

It used to be a secret base that was unknown to everyone, but now, it may have become a target for some people.

Especially the Eye of Zaun and the forces behind it lurking in the dark.

After losing two Source Project warriors, they will definitely be more careful and will not be surprised if they make any excessive actions.

"Don't worry, I will never leave. I want to meet the people behind such interesting technological research."

Xingid looked at the two metal parts on the alchemy workbench, his eyes filled with a special light.

"I will also do my best to analyze them and find out their secrets."

Huo Jixing looked satisfied. With Xingid's help, he was one step closer to uncovering the secret of these two metal parts.

"Is it okay to go to Piltover?"

"I have a connection with the Myrdalda family and have access to their Hextech labs."

When Xingjid heard this, he looked deeply at Huo Jixing and nodded in agreement.

He had already realized that chaos was coming and wanted to find a more secretive laboratory.

But now there's something so interesting,
He would never give up no matter what, and would research what was behind it at all costs.

Even if you sacrifice your own mind and life.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. I have heard about the Myrdalda family's Hex Technology Laboratory for a long time, but I have never entered it."

Singed continued to immerse himself in his research, and new ideas and hypotheses would pop up in his mind from time to time.

He tries to test these ideas in new ways and unlock the secrets behind metal parts.

It was just limited to the alchemy equipment in the laboratory, and he didn't get much useful experimental data.

Even so, he still invested a lot of time and used various instruments and reagents to conduct detailed chemical composition analysis of metal parts.

Gradually, Singed discovered some interesting phenomena and patterns.

This made him even more curious about the origins and uses of metal parts.

Two days later.

During this period of time, Huo Jixing never left the alchemy laboratory.

He helped Singed dismantle some useful alchemical devices and also protected the safety of the alchemy laboratory.

Prevent someone from coming back to destroy the laboratory and threaten Singed's life.

While Singed is moving, he will also take time to research the source plan parts.

But this busy life ended after Huo Jixing met the hunchbacked man Dornier.

"Urgot fell into a dangerous situation and asked for my help?"
