Me and countless me.

Chapter 372 Rune's Counterattack

At first, Li Ke thought Catherine was crazy.

The next moment, Li Ke understood why Catherine had such thoughts.

The reason was very simple. The last time he met Catherine, he sent Silko to her just for a meal.

Not only that, it seems that Catherine now clearly knows that she is a Demacian, and after the last action, Catherine naturally regards Li Ke as a typical Demacian soldier.

And what does a typical Demacia soldier look like...

Li Ke couldn't help but think of his dean of junior high and high school. Basically, all serious Demacia soldiers were like that, with a strong sense of justice.

I just happen to have a bit of fame, so it's normal for a girl like Catherine to have some other expectations of me.

It was indeed just as Li Ke thought. When Catherine saw Li Ke looking at her, she looked at Li Ke with some uneasiness. What she just said was both a yearning and expectation for Li Ke's heroic image and a test.

Test which side Li Ke belongs to.

Seeing that Li Ke did not oppose her immediately, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief and expressed her thoughts.

"I admire you very much for leading the refugees to escape, so if you don't mind, I can help you go to Ionia. In addition, please believe me that this is for justice. That girl...she killed many innocent people. In any case, placing a bomb at a celebration and detonating it, killing several law enforcement officers, I think this behavior is unacceptable in any country, right?"

Li Ke really didn't know about this. On the day of the Evolution Day celebration, he was in Piltover's only designated dragon farm, chatting with other people about the various smugglers and gang bosses in Piltover and Zaun.

Everything was done to make it easier for him to leave here. However, Li Ke knew that if Catherine met someone other than himself, a time traveler, but a native Demacian with the same experience as himself, the other party would really help her deal with Jinx and Silko.

There's no way around it. This is how Demacian soldiers act in formal occasions.

"Besides, whether it's Hilco or the perpetrator of the Evolution Day bombing, Piltover will have a large bonus. Not only that, you will also get... well, the friendship between our families, that's what Demacia usually says, right?"

Catherine extended her hand to Li Ke, wanting to reach a cooperation with Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at her face and felt that this girl still had a wonderful innocence in her bones. After a moment of silence, he asked a question that made Catherine subconsciously take a step back.

"It's not impossible to cooperate with you, but Miss Catherine, have you ever killed anyone?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then shook her head subconsciously.

"No, I think killing is the most unnecessary thing, because everyone's life is very precious..."

Catherine spoke very excitedly, but Li Ke didn't want to listen anymore.

"Then let's work together next time, Catherine."

He interrupted Catherine, then looked at the two men who were looking here in confusion, released his perception, and then looked at the two men.

Although she was rejected by Li Ke, Catherine still asked curiously when she saw Li Ke looking at Jace and others.

"Do you have anything to do with Jace and Victor?"

Li Ke was completely speechless. Compared with the mature policewoman in the game, the current Catherine really revealed a strange innocence. Although she had some tricks and cleverness, anyone who had been in the industry for a while could see her innocence.

No, the fact that she asked me if we could cooperate as soon as we met just now showed how naive she was.

"Are you so defenseless?"

Li Ke sighed and walked over directly, because at this moment the handsome guy wanted to stand up and talk to Catherine beside him.

Moreover, Li Ke had a lot of questions to ask these two people, so he had to find out the situation.

As Li Ke walked over, Catherine followed for some reason, and then the handsome young man in decent clothes spoke.

"Hey, Catherine, it's been so long since we last met. When did you get such a handsome male companion?"

Jayce was a little surprised when he looked at Li Ke, because he felt that there was no one more handsome than himself in the whole of Piltover. However, the Li Ke he saw made him have to admit that he was indeed lacking in this aspect...

However, he glanced at the medal on his chest and deliberately held his head high and chest out to highlight his status as a congressman and to make himself look less of a failure.

"Yes, there are some things to do, but what happened between you and Viktor? You don't look very happy. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Li Ke, the hero who saved a large group of oppressed magicians from Demacia. Li Ke, this is Jayce, and Viktor."

Although Catherine was answering Jace, her eyes were always looking in the direction of Jinx. At this moment, the two sisters were whispering to each other. Li Ke waited for the two to finish their greetings and then got straight to the point.

"Hello, Mr. Jace, Mr. Victor, I have something to ask you."

Looking at the two people with a strong magical aura, Li Ke regretted not bringing his rune steel sword, because the closer he got to the two people, the more his senses warned him! Because among the two people, one of them was almost chosen by magic. With just one opportunity, the other party could instantly possess powerful power!
And he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that his senses had become much sharper. The magical power that was difficult to control in the past had become handy at this moment, and he seemed to be able to feel more traces of magic.

From the sky, the earth, and the surrounding matter, it seems that as long as my senses are sharper, these energies will appear in my eyes in a colorful form.

"whats the matter?"

Jace thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who Li Ke was. He usually didn't pay attention to politics, but looking at Catherine's expression, he knew that it was probably the current head of the Gilaman family who told her.

"Have you come into contact with extremely strong rune magic? And all kinds of mysterious knowledge begin to appear in your brain, and even your body begins to change?"

The moment Li Ke spoke, he placed his hand on the body of the man called Victor, who looked like he was about to die, and instantly cast his magic.

In his memory, Viktor was a genius who went to school and did scientific research with Jayce, but in the end he embarked on the path of flesh and blood weakness and mechanical ascension, and through transformation he became extremely rational. He is undoubtedly the villain in the story of Piltover and Jayce.

but now……

The moment his palm pressed on Victor's body, Li Ke felt a ball of fire that was burning fiercely but almost burned out!

And according to other Li Ke's experience——

"You only have three days left to live, Mr. Victor. I personally suggest that you go see a doctor and write a will for yourself. If you continue to get involved in rune magic, you may be bewitched by it and do something terrible in order to survive... If you have a very noble and strong desire, it will be even worse."

Looking at Viktor, Li Ke said what he wanted to say to take the initiative, because after Ryze, the bald guy who collected world runes, said he saw him, all the Demacians who were going to Ionia to protect him, such as Silko and Jinx, had to stand aside.

The most important thing to solve now is that Ryze will be in trouble because of the ghosts he saw here, which may be the trouble caused by the world runes. Otherwise, Ryze, the guy who collects world runes, will never let him and the people around him go!
Not only that, as a Demacian, Li Ke knew too well the dangers of magic. Because before he awakened magic, he had captured many evil magicians who did evil together with Demacia's warriors, demon seekers, and demon hunters. And looking at the application of magic in Piltover, it is obvious that these people have never suffered a big loss from magic, so they are likely to play a big game!
However, not everyone could accept Li Ke's words.

"What? What nonsense are you talking about?! How could Victor only have three days left to live?" Jace was the first to give up. He came directly in front of Li Ke, frowned, opened Li Ke's palm, and spoke unhappily.

"I don't know where you came from, a liar, but if you want to deceive my friends..."

He puffed out his chest as he spoke, continuing to show off his status as a member of parliament, but at this moment, Victor spoke again.

"He's telling the truth, Jace."

As soon as Victor said this, Jace felt as if something exploded in his brain. Boundless emotions quickly filled his brain, making him not know what mood or expression he should have.

He reached out to grab Victor, but Victor pushed his hand away.

"What? How is this possible?! Victor...why didn't you tell me earlier..."

But Victor just smiled. He could show weakness in front of anyone, but he was absolutely unwilling to show his vulnerability in front of Jace.

"Don't be like that. I'm not going to die right now."

Victor looked at Jayce with very complicated feelings. He didn't want Jayce to be distracted because of himself. Now was the time for Jayce to realize his ambitions and apply more Hextech technology in the two cities, eliminate the barriers and conflicts between the two cities, and solve various problems.

After all, only by making the application scope of Hextech technology wider and more powerful can the two of them have greater say.

As for whether he can survive...

Thinking of the rune crystal in the laboratory, Victor fell silent, but soon he looked at Li Ke with hope again.

"Besides, this gentleman should have a solution."

He looked at Li Ke, and at this time, a red light appeared in Li Ke's hand.

This light gives people a warm feeling, making people subconsciously want to get closer, and this is Li Ke’s vitality, or his magic.

"Yes, your problem is that your body was polluted in various ways when it was developing. You are born with developmental problems, and all kinds of harmful substances are all over your body. Normally, you are doomed to die. However, for me, with the magic I possess, this is not an unsolvable problem."

Li Ke looked at Victor. The other party's problem was nothing to his magic of manipulating vitality.

His vitality magic is so powerful that even congenitally deformed parts can be restored to normal with the help of his magic, and even missing limbs can be reshaped.

Li Ke glanced at the crutch in Victor's hand to assist walking, knowing very well that Victor was definitely disabled. If it was his desire and will that attracted the forbidden magic, then restoring his body must be a part of this desire and will.

And if this part of desire and will can be satisfied, the other party should not be so anxious.

Then do it.

Li Ke didn't want to face a full outbreak of rune magic, or even a disaster from world runes, while he was still in this city, so he decided to take action.

And from the very beginning, Jayce was showing him his identity as a senator like a peacock. If he rescued Victor, then it shouldn't be a problem to ask him to help him find a boat!
but--

Just when he made up his mind to solve this matter, he had a vague feeling that something was watching him, watching him and the person behind him...

...Jinx and Vi?

Li Ke was a little dazed. He always felt that something was wrong, and that some crisis would occur when he took the next step.

But he still didn't know what would happen in the end. He just felt that if he healed Victor's body, a huge crisis would arise instantly!
But his intuition told him that the only way out was with the rune steel sword he had placed in the hotel... or rather, the rune steel produced in Demacia that could absorb and seal magic!

After Li Ke paused, both Catherine and Victor looked at Li Ke, wanting to know what Li Ke would do next.

So Li Ke took a deep breath, and in this urgent feeling, he immediately spoke to Catherine, a very powerful and naive woman.

"Ms. Catherine, I'm in urgent need of a Demacia rune steel weapon. Please hurry up..."

However, at the moment he said this to Catherine, Jinx's eyes in the distance were suddenly covered by a light blue light, and a powerful magical energy suddenly burst out from her waist bag!

Wei quickly tore off the waist bag from Jinx's waist and threw it away, because even though she didn't know what that thing was, she was sure that it was definitely not a good thing!

And Jace, who was waiting for Li Ke's reply, shouted in surprise.

"That's the stolen Hex Core! So you are the terrorist?!"

Jace wanted to say something to Jinx, but the sudden explosion of the Hextech core showed a strange change that he had never seen before. It quickly absorbed all the organic matter around it, and then quickly changed into a lavender substance that was similar to flesh and blood, but also like inorganic matter.

Li Ke's eyes suddenly shrank, because if he remembered correctly, this thing was a manifestation of high-purity magic, which could usually only be seen in the scenes left over after a powerful magical disaster!
And all of this illustrates one thing.

The will that wanted to invade his body took action!
Just as Li Ke thought, this strange creation emitted countless light blue arcs the moment it took shape. These arcs formed an expanding spherical electric grid, and the purple thunder melted a part of the floor of the cafe and extracted the energy from it the moment it struck the ground!
Li Ke stretched out his hand, trying to use his vitality to resist, but his vitality was no match for this strange energy and was torn apart in an instant, directly hitting his body, Jayce and Viktor's bodies on the side, and even Vi, Jinx, and Catherine's bodies were hit!

Even a hooded dwarf was affected.

At the moment when he was struck by the thunder erupted by this strange creature, Li Ke felt something was broken, and golden power began to surge out of his body. At this moment, everything in front of his eyes stopped, allowing him to see more things!
He saw that he and others were being controlled by a huge force, and were being rushed towards another city very similar to Piltover along the arc of electricity.

And from that city, a blue-haired girl wearing a school uniform and a bob haircut was walking towards this side, heading towards the other end of the arc.

Li Ke could see the other person, but the other person seemed unable to see Li Ke, so Li Ke subconsciously looked up at the other side's end point, and saw that at the other end of the girl's path was a young pink-haired girl who was about to die in an explosion.

And the thing that caused the explosion that was about to kill her was the hextech crystal that sent them into this arc hell!
But just when he wanted to see clearly what was happening, the golden power in his body suddenly dissipated, and the next moment his body slammed violently into a bookcase, not only knocking the young body away, but also burying it underneath a pile of books!

Li Ke's head was passively hit by a pile of hardcover books, but he still subconsciously protected the girl under him and swept away those expensive books.

The books stopped falling, and Li Ke also swept away the debris around him that was pressing on him, so he quickly stood up and reached out to the girl he had knocked down.

"Are you OK?"

He asked considerately, but the moment he saw the girl, Li Ke was stunned.

Because this girl was exactly the one he had just seen, the girl walking towards the explosion from the other end of the arc. But this was not what made Li Ke stunned, but because the other party's name was on the student ID card on her chest:
'Boom boom'.

And if Li Ke remembered correctly...

The crazy blue-haired woman Jinx he knew was also called Baobao by that Vi!
