I am very interested in the ability to read

Chapter 399: Twin Cities Extra 4: Hex

The first episode ended with a black screen.

Jace frowned as he watched. What kind of research was that scientist from Bocheng doing? That purple liquid potion...

Craig and Milo had never imagined that if they had really sneaked into the inventor's apartment to steal more than an hour ago, it would have triggered a series of events...

Wei was also surprised, but she was more concerned about her sister. In the story played on the screen, there was a scene where "Baobao" ridiculed herself for not being able to fight and would only be a hindrance, and "Wei" comforted her "You don't have to be able to fight..." The "Wei" in the screen did not notice "Baobao's" reaction, but Wei, who was a bystander, saw it. After hearing her sister say this, "Baobao" was very annoyed and knocked her forehead...

The elder sister acquiesced to the younger sister's self-denial. Caitlyn was very careful and naturally noticed this detail. She glanced at the two sisters from the Undercity next to her, and her eyes shifted from the younger sister, Baobao, to the profile of the older sister, Wei. The last scene of "Wei" in the light screen was her gazing at Piltover in the night, saying "One day, this city will respect us"...

The dirty bottom city girl, the stubborn eyes, the determined back... just that one shot was instantly imprinted in Caitlin's heart.

Wei noticed that when she looked over, Caitlin had already retracted her gaze and continued to look at the light curtain.

The second episode was aired, and the beginning was actually a flashback of Jace's childhood. "Jace" and his mother were lost in a storm on the snowy mountains. In the critical moment, a mysterious magician appeared, holding a magic crystal fragment in one hand and waving a staff in the other, dotting mysterious runes shining with blue light in the air, and finally forming a teleportation array, instantly teleporting "Jace" and his mother to the grass at the foot of the mountain where spring flowers were blooming...

"Is this why you do this kind of research?" Caitlin asked in surprise.

Although they were good friends, Jace was working on a forbidden project after all, so he wouldn't even mention this to her. It was only after Caitlin watched the first episode of the light curtain that she realized that Jace had hidden those dangerous magic crystals in his apartment.

"..." Jace tightly grasped the wristband, remaining silent, staring at the light curtain in shock. Why were his childhood experiences also projected onto the light curtain? Could it be... could it be that what was on the light curtain was really some kind of prophecy?

"Professor, is there magic that can predict the future?" Professor Assistant Victor asked at the window of the Piltover Academy building, staring at the light curtain in the sky outside the window. Even through the window, he could clearly see the scenes of the plot that were constantly advancing in the light curtain, and the sound was still in his ears.

"Jace" was detained for possessing prohibited items, and then publicly tried by the parliament. In the end, he revealed that he was trying to conduct research on the scientific application of magic. As expected, he was punished and expelled from the academy...

Of course, the reason Victor asked this question was not because of "Jace", but because of himself who appeared in the light curtain - "Victor". "Victor" was attracted by the research institute described by "Jace" in his impassioned speech among the crowd of onlookers at the public trial, and secretly stole the experimental materials that "Jace" had seized, helping him continue this promising research...

What shocked Victor was that while he was watching the light curtain, his inner reaction was almost the same as that of the "Victor" in the light curtain. If he were replaced, he thought he would have the same reaction as "Victor", stealing the seized materials and helping "Jace"... In the light curtain, "Jace" asked him puzzledly why he was willing to help himself.

The "Victor" in the light curtain replied: "What do you think of my ideal,..." "...to be an assistant for life?" Victor muttered to himself, and his voice almost overlapped with that of the "Victor" in the light curtain.

"The magic of prophecy... maybe it exists, but not necessarily... huh?" The professor was a short, furry-faced cute creature named Heimerdinger. He looked at the light curtain absent-mindedly and answered. Suddenly he woke up and looked up at his student in surprise. "Victor, what are you going to do? If that is the image given by the magic of prophecy, are you going to find Jayce? Do some research on Hextech?"

"...I don't know, Professor." Victor was speechless. The second episode of the plot in the light curtain came to an end. In order to protect her family, a low-class girl named "Wei" stole the message tube that "Fander" got from the law enforcement officer and chose to turn herself in. Soon the plot came to the third episode...

"Marcos, you actually cooperated with that one-eyed guy named Hilco? Judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like a good person!" In the Piltover Police Station, law enforcement officers were cheering on a young colleague because of the scene that appeared on the screen, but it was obvious from their attitudes that they didn't take it seriously.

However, Detective Grayson was very serious. She was very sure that if something like this really happened, she would most likely do the same thing as in the light curtain. And from what she knew, Vander would probably have the same reaction as the light curtain. He would definitely not agree to betray his companions in the Undercity, but he would still accept the message tube and leave room for maneuver. The bloodthirsty black dog in the Black Alley that frightened people back then, with its claws retracted, would be hard to stretch out again... "Ah!"

There was a cry of surprise from the police station's windows and doors. It turned out that in the light screen, the subordinate of "Hilco" who drank the purple potion "Glimmer" transformed into an unknown humanoid beast and killed the law enforcement officer who went to the base city with one blow. In the light screen, "Grayson" fell in a pool of blood with his eyes open...

Grayson held her breath, knowing everyone was watching her reaction.

"Go get a search warrant," Grayson said, picking up his law enforcement hat. "It's stupid, but if there really is that dangerous purple potion, it will be too late. Anyway, let's go pay this 'Silco' a visit."

"Yes!" the law enforcement officers responded. Marcos took a last look at the light screen and ran to prepare his equipment.

"Benso is dead? What is that purple thing?"

"Silco, I remember him! He is Fandel's friend! Everything in this light curtain is real, really real!"

In Jace's apartment, the plot of the third episode suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse. Milo couldn't sit still and started screaming. When the distraught "Wei" in the light curtain returned home, she took other friends to rescue "Vander", leaving "Bomb" alone, going crazy, screaming, and collapsing in the empty house...

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Milo pulled over Baobao, who was watching intently, and pointed at the light curtain and questioned.

"Hey!" Baobao struggled.

"That's not Boom, okay?" Wei pushed Milo away. Having said that, Wei was actually frowning a little.

Caitlin, a bystander, said: "What did I say? Promises are made lightly. When they cannot be kept, all the previous words become lies. The deeper the love between sisters, the more painful the betrayal."

"Thank you for telling me, Miss." Wei said unhappily.

As they bickered, Jace nervously watched the screen switch to a scene where "Jace" and "Victor" were risking everything on a Hextech experiment. Would it work? It should work, right? If...

"It's somewhat similar to the word 'God', but it seems to be very different." Jing Yang took Jace's Hextech experimental equipment and observed the runes engraved on it.

Xiao Di commented: "This is nonsense."

Jing Yang smiled, took Xiao Di in his arms, and watched the details of the Hextech experiment together, paying special attention to the rune combinations used to achieve teleportation magic that "Jace" had reproduced through his memories...
