Chapter 203 Professor Zindaro in Crisis

The process of cutting one's own "flesh" is very painful.

When the majestic energy is extracted from the energy crystal by the mechanical device, a red high-energy laser is lased from the emission port at the tip of the mechanical arm.

Kasha gritted her teeth and breathed rapidly. Cold sweat on her forehead and cheeks slid down her long neck that was not covered by the carapace, but she resisted the pain and remained silent.

This kind of pain is not only the severe pain of cutting off a piece of "meat", but also the sharp pain like needle pricks caused by the strong contraction of the skin and nails to remind her of the threat.

Kaisha clenched one hand into a fist, and with the other hand, in order not to hurt Li Lin, she deliberately grabbed the raised metal armor that spread out and retreated to his wrist.

If the power armor had not been upgraded this morning, the previous generation of rare-quality armor might have lost dozens or even hundreds of health points.

With the sizzling sound of the laser, a pungent smell of chitinous carapace dissolving spreads.

In just a few seconds, it seemed like decades had passed to Kasha.

When there was a crisp sound like metal hitting each other, Victor stopped the laser emitted by the robotic arm and said, "Li Lin, shimmering potion!"

He reminded quickly.

"Quick, drink this!"

Li Lin, who had been prepared for a long time, put the uncorked glass bottle to Kasha's lips with tears in her eyes and helped her drink it quickly.

Kasha frowned as the purple potion, which tasted very strange and slightly burned her esophagus, went down.

She could feel that as soon as the potion reached her stomach, it was quickly absorbed by the injured skin and nails.

The living skin no longer bites her flesh, and what follows is a wave of numbness and warmth that sweeps through her body in just two or three seconds.

"How do you feel?" Li Lin asked worriedly.

"There is still some lingering pain, but it's not a big problem." Kasha shook her head.

Victor and Heimerdinger also hurriedly stepped forward to check on her.

Even for void skin, shimmering potion is also very effective.

Coupled with the two different magic pendants she wore around her neck, most of Kaisha's leg injuries had healed in just a few seconds.

"You are such a strong little girl!" Heimerdinger praised sincerely in Shuriman. "I wouldn't be able to bear this kind of pain without anesthesia."

Kasha's face turned pale, and she forced out a smile, "You're very grateful... In the void, this little pain is nothing."

After confirming that Kai'Sa was fine, Victor, at Heimerdinger's request, used closed equipment to seal the cut, still active carapace.

Afterwards, Heimerdinger took the vessel from Victor's hand and shook it twice in front of his eyes. "Hmm~~ Its existence is very strange. It is still active after being separated from the symbiotic host."

"Its activity is weakening, and it will die completely within a few hours." Li Lin turned on [Digital Thinking] and glanced at it, reminding him.

"Professor, I think we should put it in a nutrient solution, like sample ZAC-1."

Sample number ZAC-1 is the number of tissue cells that Victor reported to the college as a gift from Zach.

Before Li Lin and Jess went to Shurima, they gave the Zach cells on hand to Victor for culture to maintain their activity.

"That's a good idea." Heimerdinger nodded, "We can't let this poor child endure pain any longer. We try to only use this piece of void carapace as research material."

Li Lin helped Kasha, who was almost completely healed, sit up from the workbench and translated their conversation to her word for word.

Then, Kasha organized her words a little: "Professor, my skin armor can evolve or mutate by swallowing enough energy, so you have to be careful.

"Before, I only cut off a small piece of carapace from an ethereal spirit, but now it has spread all over my body... I think you should take some more emergency measures."

Hearing what she said, Heimerdinger lowered his furry face, gently stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds, he raised his head and looked at Victor, "Let's test it first, Victor, to see how much energy it needs to take in to maintain its activity. We'll just go with the lowest one."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and continued to add: "Oh yes, I almost forgot. I asked someone to bring my newly designed MK-3 high-precision turret and lock this carapace."

Victor was stunned for a moment.

He didn't understand Shuriman, so he naturally didn't understand what Heimerdinger meant, "Professor?"

"We can't keep Viktor by his side all the time. This is just a guarantee." Heimerdinger explained in a serious tone: "If it mutates, it must be destroyed as soon as possible."

…

…

After obtaining the materials for Kasha's skin armor, Victor and Heimerdinger immediately started research. It would take some time for analysis to get preliminary results.

Afterwards, Li Lin used [Digital Thinking] to carefully check Kasha and confirmed again that her body was fine.

Of course, besides Kai'Sa's question, he also remembered other things he planned to do today.

It was originally a flight problem with the Infinite 2nd generation armor, but Victor combined with Zach cells to come up with the final version of the shimmering potion, and Li Lin's heart became itchy again.

He now has 28 more skill points, and can point at least 9 individual strengthening branch skills.

Among them, genetic enhancement is what he values ​​the most. Maybe with the core basic skill of "Glorious Evolution", combined with Zach's cells, he can unlock new design drawings.

But before that, Li Lin had to settle Kai'Sa first.

Money can make the world go round.

The teacher invited by Mrs. Karina arrived early this morning and temporarily stayed at Gila Mann's house.

Kasha can take classes at any time as long as she has time.

Not only learning language, but also etiquette, basic knowledge and common sense, etc., the highly respected teacher who specializes in teaching noble children knows all about it.

Li Lin discussed with Kasha and decided to take her to experience the customs and customs of Pi City today, and then let her go to class in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of this gap, he could arrange to add a batch of new cutting-edge technological equipment to his workshop, and then create a device that can add skill points, and then unlock individual enhancement technology.

After quickly thinking of a plan for the next few days, Li Lin left the laboratory with Kasha.

The two of them had just walked to the school gate when a familiar husky middle-aged female voice attracted their attention: "Excuse me... are you Mr. Li Lin?"

Li Lin turned his head, and an old acquaintance wearing a college professor's uniform came into his eyes, "Professor Zindaluo?"

A few months ago, on the eve of Caitlin's coming-of-age ceremony, the two of them visited Valentina Zindello's miniature Runeterra in the Agnostic Square and had the opportunity to chat with the professor for a few words.

At that time, Caitlin felt that it was unwise for Valentina to publicly promote her invention, and asked Li Lin to ask Heimerdinger to send someone to protect her.

Li Lin did so before leaving Piltover for Shurima, and even went to Valentina to remind her not to be too showy.

She didn't take it too seriously at the time, but now...

"Why do you look so haggard?"

Li Lin looked at Valentina, who bowed her head and raised her collar to cover her face, trotting up to him and raised her eyebrows.

Now her complexion was gloomy, she was staring at a pair of dark circles and bloodshot eyes, as if she hadn't closed her eyes for several days, and her hair was messy and tangled.

If it weren't for the professor's clothes, Li Lin would have thought he was seeing a technician living in poverty in the southern city.

"Mr. Li Lin... you are right, right... I should have listened to you back then..." Valentina was a little nervous and seemed to be in a very bad mental state.

According to the original world line, Valentina mysteriously disappeared when her miniature Runeterra was still in its infancy, and no one knew where she went.

Li Lin knew very well that her invention touched the interests of some powerful people or some desperadoes.

Coupled with the fact that she so blatantly promoted her technology of "being able to locate everyone in Runeterra", it was impossible for those people to let her survive.

By now, Valentina's invention is almost half complete, and it's only a matter of time before trouble comes knocking on her doorstep.

Even though the academy had experienced an attack that shocked the twin cities, the defense force was now very tight, and Heimerdinger had specifically warned her, she still received physical threats.

Li Lin unfolded his mask and said, "Tell me slowly, what happened? I will try my best to help you."

Valentina took a step forward and grabbed his armored arm, "Recently... recently I have received a lot of death threat letters. They... threatened me and asked me to stop researching Miniature Rune Land...

"I, I have reported this matter to the academy... and even called the police! But... but, the academy also has guards and law enforcement officers sent by the Piltover police to protect me, and they... they can't find them at all. Traces of that guy!”

"That rascal?"

"That's right!" There was a hint of crying in Valentina's voice, "It, it would run into my room every day, and while I was sleeping, it would... threaten me in my ears!"

Li Lin was even more confused.

In addition to Tucci, who can turn himself into a translucent state with the help of "alchemical transformation phosphorescent powder", and the Gray Lady, who can't be stopped anywhere.

He really couldn't imagine anyone else who could bypass the guards and law enforcement officers and run into Valentina's room to threaten her without killing her.

Tucci is dead, and Camille only assassinates those who threaten the Philos family or threaten the stability of the Twin Cities.

Valentina's invention didn't reach that level, so who could do it?

The Twin Cities shouldn't have a guy like this who comes and goes without a trace and only threatens but doesn't kill anyone.

Li Lin carefully observed Valentina calmly and found that her spirit was almost on the verge of collapse, and noticed something abnormal.

Immediately afterwards, he chose to turn on [Digital Thinking], and Valentina's personal status was displayed on the system panel.

[Name: Valentina Zindero]

[Personal state: extreme fatigue, mental stress (semi-collapse), chaotic illusions...]

A vision of chaos?

Li Lin was stunned for a moment and carefully checked the status.

[Mental confusion potion: a potion produced by alchemy and chemical technology that can affect people's minds and cause hallucinations. Excessive dosage will cause permanent mental damage, and there is a high probability that people will fall into madness. 】

After two or three seconds, Li Lin came back to his senses, and his brown-black eyes looked directly into Valentina's bloodshot eyes.

"Is there a possibility that... it's not that someone invaded your bedroom and threatened you, but that you were drugged?"
