People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

Let's first talk about the main characters in the two places:

Demacia: Garen, Jarvan IV, Xin Zhao, Lux, Sona, Fiora, etc.

Ionia: Irelia, Ahri, Syndra, Riven, Shadow, and characters related to the Kinkou Order, etc.

Voting takes place on this floor's post. Those who think Demacia is better post a 1, those who think Ionia is better post a 2. After the Piltover chapter ends, Cola will tally the votes and select the ones with the most votes to start a new chapter.

Finally, I wish everyone a happy National Day holiday again! Even if you don't have a holiday, have a good one (at worst, you can slack off at work and read a book with cola).

Chapter 54 The Tsundere Law of Twin Tails

The underground area was particularly cold and damp late at night, with the cold wind seeping in through the gaps in collars and cuffs, making people shiver uncontrollably.

Two figures, one tall and one short, clad in overcoats, strode quickly through the street. The taller one was a young man with a sword at his waist; the shorter one was a young girl carrying a light machine gun and a rocket launcher on her back.

Because of the arrival of autumn, the weather is cold, and there are no homeless people to be seen on the streets. The entire area is devoid of lights and smoke, resembling a long-abandoned ghost town.

All around was silent, except for the occasional loud noise from the distant alchemy factory, like a giant beast lurking in the haze and shadows, each roar awe-inspiring.

"This road is really slippery..."

Jinx muttered as she lifted her right foot; the sole of her boot was covered in industrial wastewater, filthy and smelly. After a few casual complaints, she deliberately took a half-step to the side until their sleeves touched.

Mu Bai turned his head slightly to look at the girl who was crowding towards him, and teased, "Are you afraid of the dark?"

"...How is that possible!"

"Then why are you coming closer?"

"Because... the road is slippery, you idiot! And... it's so cold... it's warmer to squeeze together, understand? I'm not afraid of the dark! How could a madman be afraid of the dark?"

"Oh~~" Mu Bai deliberately dragged out the last syllable, full of a teasing tone.

"Humph……"

Jinx turned her head away sullenly, but her body remained obediently pressed against the wall, looking like a wronged kitten, wanting to leave but not daring to.

After all, she has twin tails, so it's normal for her to be a little tsundere.

As the old saying goes: Not everyone who is tsundere has twin tails, but twin tails definitely make someone tsundere.

"Okay, enough joking around."

After walking for a few more minutes, Mu Bai suddenly stopped at a corner, quietly slipped his hand under the girl's coat, and grasped the hilt of his sword.

He heard a faint yet heavy footstep—faint because of the distance, and heavy because the footsteps of the person walking were very heavy.

The sound was faint, but it didn't escape Mu Bai's ears. This was the advantage of being amplified by runes.

“There are people up ahead,” he said, pointing to the corner.

"Someone? Viktor's men?" Jinx hadn't heard any footsteps, but she trusted Mu Bai's judgment. She immediately put away her arrogant thoughts, placed her finger on the trigger, and was ready to fire at any moment.

"Not sure," Mu Bai said. "We're still some distance from our destination, but anyone wandering around this late at night... is probably not a good person."

The nights in the ditch area are not only cold and damp, but also very dangerous.

Many vicious criminals and mad scientists often choose this time to do something "big".

"Then I know what to do."

Jinx nodded, pulled the stun gun from the bullet belt strapped to her calf, and aimed at the corner, preparing to ambush her prey.

The footsteps around the corner grew clearer, and the two were fully prepared.

But just as the two sides were about to meet, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

The other party seemed to have spotted them as well.

The next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from the corner, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.

"Trying to steal my stuff again!" A figure suddenly darted out, roaring as a massive hammer crashed down from mid-air with the crackling sound of electricity.

Jinx quickly rolled to the side, deftly dodging the attack, while simultaneously raising her stun gun and aiming.

Then, to her surprise, she found that Mu Bai was gone, leaving only a few points of dazzling golden light like fireflies and the floor cracked by the hammer.

Good evening, friends.

When Mu Bai reappeared, he was behind the "enemy," and his gleaming longsword became the death knell of the Grim Reaper.

He had been secretly gathering his strength as the footsteps drew closer. The instant the white light flashed, he used Hexflash to get behind them.

If you can launch a sneak attack, never confront them head-on.

As Teacher Baoguo's lifelong enemy aptly put it, martial virtue is not important; victory and defeat are what truly matter.

"Don't move, my sword is quite sharp."

"Tch..." The tall man loosened his grip, and the golden warhammer crashed heavily to the ground.

Mu Bai was about to call Jinx over to take the warhammer away when he suddenly felt like he had seen the hammer somewhere before.

The texture, the weight, the level of technology...

"Jace?"

"Hmm?" The man paused for a moment, realizing the voice sounded somewhat familiar, and tentatively asked, "Mu Bai?"

"It's me... It seems we've had a huge misunderstanding."

Mu Bai gave an awkward laugh and immediately sheathed his Dolan sword. The latter also felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had just mistaken the other party for a thief.

"It seems the rumors were true; your swordsmanship has reached its pinnacle." Jess bent down to pick up the Hextech warhammer, still feeling lingering fear.

If the other party hadn't held back, if he had been intent on killing me, I probably wouldn't have even had a chance to react...

"It's just an empty reputation," Mu Bai said modestly.

"Why are you here?" With the misunderstanding cleared up, Jess's thoughts returned to the main point. "Could it be that you're also here to investigate Viktor?"

"Huh? You too?"

"...We really are destined to meet."

The two exchanged a smile and explained their purpose to each other.

Suddenly having a teammate to help fight Viktor's mechanical army is fantastic news.

A moment later, Jess proudly patted his Hextech warhammer. "My old buddy's reacting. That damn Ironhead is nearby."

"Nearby?" Mu Bai frowned subconsciously and looked at the map of the ditch area that Camille had given him earlier.

Wait a minute... we're still quite a distance from Viktor's lair...

"Is there a problem?" Jess noticed the other's confusion. "Do you know where Victor is?"

"I suppose so..." Mu Bai nodded slightly. As a qualified transmigrator, he knew many things that ordinary people didn't.

Upon hearing this, Jess shook his head firmly, "Then you must be mistaken. My crystal senses are absolutely correct; he's nearby."

"Hmm...maybe. Where did you sense the location?"

"It's just ahead."

Jess extended a finger, pointing to a bungalow a hundred meters away. His warhammer flashed white light continuously, seemingly to prove his point.

Jinx, standing not far away, watched the two chatting and laughing, and was momentarily confused. Should she fire the gun or not?

Hmm...maybe I should just electrocute Little White too...

PS:

Currently, the new volume vote shows that Ionia's votes are overwhelming Demacia's votes. If nothing unexpected happens, the new volume should be the Ionia chapter (you can tell from the cover that Cola's favorite character is Ahri).

Hey everyone, let's vote!

Chapter 55 This is how Piltover people greet each other.

Jess knew the twin-tailed girl who carried a machine gun and a rocket launcher.

Her bounty may not be the highest, but her fame is certainly the highest.

Many Piltover residents have been wrecked by her. Graffiti, destroying bases, disrupting banquets... she's done every disruptive tactic a normal person could think of, and more than once.

As a Piltover resident with a strong sense of justice, Jayce felt it was his duty to arrest her.

But... Mu Bai wouldn't allow it.

Oh well, there will always be other opportunities in the future...

The most urgent task now is to capture Viktor; everything else can wait.

"This is the house."

Jess stopped, the signal value of his warhammer reaching its peak. He turned to look at the two men, signaling them to be ready to fight at any moment.

Jinx shrugged, looking disdainful, but her finger was secretly on the trigger of the bang-bang gun.

Mu Bai, however, had other plans and suggested, "How about I sneak in and check the situation first?"

“No, it’s too dangerous.” Jess immediately objected. “The crystal senses are never wrong, Viktor is definitely inside… at least his mechanical army is there. Going in alone is too risky.”

"So what are your plans?" Mu Bai looked at the unassuming little house and felt that something was off.

Would Viktor really be hiding in a place like this...?

It's remote enough, but the location... well, it's a bit conspicuous? And the area is too small; you can't just cram everything into the basement, can you?

My plan... is very simple.

Jess spat on the ground, then raised the warhammer with both hands and placed it at his waist. With a series of crackling sounds, the Hextech warhammer transformed into a Hextech giant cannon.

"Strike first and catch him off guard!"

The meaning of recklessness was revealed at this moment—his rigor was always reserved for scientific research, and in his actions, he would do whatever was easiest, even to the point of being somewhat reckless.

A dazzling acceleration zone suddenly appeared in front of the Hextech Giant Cannon. The electric ball fired from the cannon instantly enlarged after passing through the acceleration zone, increasing its speed and power by several times.

The classic EQ combo is a perfect example.

"Don't--"

Rather than act so recklessly, Mu Bai would rather teleport in alone to scout ahead. But it was too late to stop it; the ball of light was hurtling towards the bungalow at an imperceptible speed.
