Chapter 196 Reunion After a Long Separation

Because Kaisha had just arrived, there was a big gap between the more modern Piltover and the villages in Shurima.

She didn't know any daily necessary furniture such as electric lamps, hot water kettles, taps, toilets, bathtubs, etc.

Not to mention shampoo, shower gel, soap, toothpaste and other supplies, these are luxuries that a child in a remote mountain village in Shurima has never seen before.

Li Lin introduced everything in the house to Kasha step by step, then took her into the bathroom and put hot bath water in the bathtub for her.

Kasha's living skin can't be taken off, but she can still take a nice soak in a hot bath and wash her hair.

After Li Lin left, he was still a little worried about Kasha, so he specially asked a maid to go in and help her.

After he returned to his room, took a hot bath and put on some decent clothes, he heard a gentle knock on the door.

Li Lin opened the door, and the fragrance of shampoo penetrated his nose.

The maid who had helped Kasha take a bath led her to the corridor outside the door.

"As you command, Mr. Li Lin."

"Thank you very much."

"That's very kind of you. This is my job."

The maid smiled and saluted Li Lin, then nodded to Kasha and turned to leave.

After she walked away, Li Lin took a closer look at Kasha.

Her dark purple shoulder-length hair that originally hung down like a waterfall had been blow-dried and tied into a neat ponytail. Light makeup was also put on her face to cover up the purple void lines on her cheeks and forehead, as well as her purple lips.

Because of the problem with the cheek pouches on her shoulders, Kasha is unable to wear clothes normally and looks very weird.

Putting all these aside, she is no different from a young and beautiful girl.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Kasha felt a little embarrassed being stared at by Li Lin and subconsciously touched her face.

"That big sister just put something on my face...isn't it weird?"

"How could it be strange?" Li Lin called her into the room, stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room, took a picture, and said with a smile, "Did you find anything special?"

Kasha blinked, very surprised by the change on her face, "...is this?"

"Cosmetics will temporarily cover the traces left by the void on your face." Li Lin explained, "In this way, others will regard your skin as Hex Technology."

Kasha stared at herself in the mirror, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably.

She didn't really like how she looked after being affected by the void.

In Shurima before, even with Li Lin and her father accompanying her in the power mecha, she seemed less out of place.

But some people can still tell through the special lines on her face and purple lips that she is no ordinary person.

"However, cosmetics are not very good for the skin. If you don't go out on weekdays, you don't need to wear them."

"Thank you. Even so, I am very satisfied."

"Compared to the heroic spirit before, you are a bit more cute now."

After being praised by Li Lin, Kasha lowered her eyes, her face turned red visibly, and she felt a little secretly happy in her heart.

Before her village was swallowed up by the void, many elders had praised her like this.

But for some reason, the praise from her elders gave her a completely different feeling than the praise from Li Lin.

Seeing Kasha's shy look, Li Lin smiled knowingly.

Compared to the days when she first came out of the underground and felt a little inferior because of her skin, she has changed more and more now.

This is a good thing.

Her current mind is not as mature and firm as in the original world line, and she is easily influenced by the outside world.

What Li Lin has to do now is to slowly and subtly influence her so that she will not be easily influenced by some malicious people.

The most important thing is for her to identify herself as a human being, not a void monster.

Li Lin gathered his thoughts, put a hand gently on Kasha's shoulder, and smiled slightly, "Okay, it's time to take you to meet Kate."

…

…

221 Greville Street.

Caitlin was sitting at her desk in casual clothes, writing something in her special notebook.

On the table, well-organized cases are placed in categories. On the wall next to the bookshelf is a map of Piltover. Many locations are marked with red markers and connected by several red lines.

"Lenata Gorask, Zaun's monopoly tycoon, Alchemist Baron...and Silko, the current manager of the border market."

Caitlin bit her lower lip, dropped the quill in her hand and leaned back, lying back on the office chair.

She clenched her small white hands into fists and pressed the knuckles of her index fingers against both sides of her temples, gently massaging them with a slightly tangled expression.

"I can't control the malicious competition in business, but if someone dies because of their competition..." Caitlin sighed helplessly.

She's been under a lot of pressure lately.

A few months ago, he became famous for solving the mutated plague rat serial murder case in Zaun.

Recently, not only ordinary people often come to her to solve various complicated problems, but the Piltover police also entrust her to assist in investigating some special cases.

The business competition between Hilko and Renata is only a very small part.

Cases of commercial espionage, missing persons, and uncertified smuggling of Hex Technology and Alchemy Technology occur frequently.

She even helped Sheriff Grayson solve a case of Noxian war masons espionage.

War Masons are Noxian resourceful scouts, engineers, and warriors.

In addition to designing and supervising the construction of roads, bridges and fortifications, they usually go deep into the enemy's interior alone to gather intelligence.

After resting for a while, Caitlin sat up straight again, picked up the cup and took a sip of the cold tea, and began to read another case about the war masons.

If a cockroach appears in the sun, it means there are too many people in the dark place to squeeze in.

Sheriff Grayson, including the congressmen, take this matter very seriously. Piltover's technology must not be stolen by the Noxian militants.

"It seems that Swain is not a good person. Not long after the war against Ionia ended, he sent war masons abroad before the domestic situation was stable."

Caitlin's eyes moved quickly between the lines, and she looked down from time to time to think and mark, and then wrote a few words in the notebook.

The pendulum of the clock in the house ticked.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a "dong dong" knock on the door of the office.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked."

Following the soft creak of the door shaft, two footsteps, one light and one heavy, entered the house.

"Do you have any questions?" Caitlin said without raising her head.

The footsteps gradually stopped in front of the desk, but neither of them spoke.

Caitlin felt a little strange and couldn't help but look up.

Until the face she had been thinking about came into view, her sapphire blue pupils shrank slightly, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Li Lin!"
