Chapter 239 Teach a Lesson to the Life Mentor

Camille was surprised by Li Lin's statement, "Why..."

When this question came out of her mouth, she realized that since he started asking the first question, the rhythm of the conversation had been completely controlled by the other party.

This is a situation she has never encountered since she underwent heart replacement surgery and completely transformed into the Gray Lady.

The Gray Lady walking in the haze.

When they heard the sound of a sharp metal blade coming into contact with the floor, almost everyone who knew her name did not feel frightened.

Even MPs are no exception.

But Li Lin's performance from beginning to end was beyond her expectation.

Especially the last word "rejection".

Li Lin looked at Camille, whose expression changed slightly, and shook his head with a polite smile, "What do you think the head of the Stevan family really wants?"

"What do you mean by that?" Camille frowned, her tone slightly unhappy, "Didn't you just tell him his purpose?"

"Hmm... let me guess." Li Lin still thought to himself, "Become a being like you, work with you to lead the family to prosperity, look at the continent of Valoran, and even have lofty goals as far as the entire Runeterra, right? "

"I never said that." A look of solemnity flashed across Camille's face.

At this moment, she wanted to question Li Lin: Have you installed a camera in my home? !

It's a pity that she can't say such words.

Because this is a disguised admission that Li Lin's "guess" is exactly the same as what Stevan said to him before.

Moreover, Lanxun Manor is located on the outskirts of the city, with no other residents around, so it is usually heavily guarded.

Once someone or a "mechanical creation" approaches, it will be easily discovered.

Li Lin knew Camille very well. After all, Qinggangying was one of his favorite heroes in the game before time travel.

As a "life mentor", she has many words that inspired Li Lin.

As a player who likes to see various game world settings and backgrounds, Camille’s story naturally attracted him.

Stevan still has sibling feelings for Camille, but they cannot match the desire for immortality in his heart.

In the original world line, since he could not find a technician who could make the Hex core, he turned to his own sister, who had been transformed for decades.

He sent people to dig a trap for Camille and launched a sneak attack while she was off guard.

If Stevan and his idiot men had not far underestimated the combat power of Camille under the amplification of the Hex core, the future controller of Piltover would not be the Gray Lady, but the Philos family on the surface.

In fact, Camille also knew that her brother was not well-intentioned, but the unerased humanity in her heart prevented her from erasing her only "weakness".

Stevan is already dying. According to the tradition of the Philos family, Camille, as a secret agent who serves the family and is loyal to the family, should have reminded Stevan to abdicate long ago.

In the last few years of Stevan's life, Camille still supported him unconditionally because she did not want to lose her brother, endured his vicious schemes and evil thoughts, and did what could have been solved by another more harmonious method. Darkness And things that can’t be seen in the light.

Camille is still unaware of this because she has not yet been betrayed by Stevan and completely fell out with him.

Li Lin was different. He wanted to warn Camille that Stevan was an ambitious guy.

Although it may not be of much use to her now, she was a smart person and lived for another eight or ninety years.

Based on the experience gained from a long life, even if she is angry now, she will definitely think about it later.

"Please forgive me for being rude and outspoken. What I really want to ask is, do you think your brother's thoughts are really that innocent?"

Camille just opened her mouth to refute, but Li Lin didn't give her a chance to speak at all: "Don't rush to question me. As siblings who have lived together for decades, I think you know Stevan. You also know what he has done in the past...

"That's why I want to ask, do you think your brother's thoughts are really that simple?"

Camille frowned and was silent for a few seconds, then snorted coldly, not prepared to be led by Li Lin again.

"I don't care what kind of person he is. Putting aside my brother's identity, he is the current head of the Feros family and is in charge of all matters of the family, large and small.

"No matter what the decision is, he has his own decision. What I have to do is not to question his orders, but to figure out how to complete my task... Everyone has their own place. If you forget about it, it will be dangerous. .”

The blue electric light in Camille's eyes danced, and she raised her chin slightly, staring at Li Lin with a look of disdain, her tone full of warning.

However, Li Lin is not afraid of her threat now, and still maintains a calm smile, "But as far as I understand, your mission is not to serve the head of the Feros family, but the Feros family?"

Camille was choked by Li Lin, put her right leg down from her left leg, sat up straight, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "It seems that you know the Philos family very well..."

"Don't dare to take it seriously...Lanxun Manor is well-known in both cities, and the family motto of the Philos family can be known by just asking."

Li Lin paused, then smiled and read out the words Camille knew by heart: "My family comes first, and I will serve you loyally, without any lies or secrets.

“For this oath, I will make no reservations with my spirit, body, and heart...

"Well, it is similar to the oath of the Giraman family, but the Giraman family is not so strict, especially for craftsmen or technician apprentices like me who join with a foreign name."

Li Lin stood up and poured a cup of tea for himself and Camille respectively, then sat back on the chair with his own cup, leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and slowly tasted the fragrance of tea in his mouth.

However, Camille, who had always liked tea, had no interest in drinking tea at this time. A pair of dangerous eyes stared at the leisurely Li Lin, her face as gloomy as ink.

"When you were 25 years old, you and your father were attacked by Zaun gangsters enhanced by alchemy technology. Your father died of his injuries, and your father was heartbroken and passed away soon..."

"Who are you?!" Camille could no longer control herself, stood up suddenly and lost her composure: "Why do you even know about this news about the Philos family's blockade?!"

If Li Lin hadn't mastered the core Hex technology that her younger brother Stevan needed, she wouldn't have been able to help but kill this dangerous guy who knew many secrets of the Philos family.

Piltover's future?

Feel sorry……

In Camille's eyes, family comes first.

Li Lin seemed not to notice Camille's strong hostility. He took a sip of tea slowly and then raised his head and continued to ask: "Do you think Stevan really wants to be the head of this family? In other words, compared to Patriarch, he actually wants to be in your current position?"

"That's complete nonsense!"

The blue electric arcs on Camille's body were beating, and the one closest to Li Lin was only a dozen centimeters away.

With the power of the arc, any contact with the human body can cause instant shock and death.

But Camille didn't know that even if Li Lin didn't wear armor, an electric arc of this magnitude wouldn't hurt him at all.

At most, it only made him feel numb and painful.

"You're out of your mind, Gray Lady."

"Pretending to be innocent is a waste of time!" Camille shouted sternly, "I don't care where you heard the secrets about the Philos family. I advise you not to criticize our family's affairs. This is my Final warning to you."

She snorted coldly: "Otherwise, I will turn you into an insignificant trivial matter... You won't want to appear on my list."

"Sometimes, scars are a person's finest clothing, Camille."

Familiar words, they seem to be words I often warn younger generations...

Camille was so stunned that she even ignored him calling her by her first name.

Li Lin put down his tea cup and stood up slowly, standing more than two meters away from her, staring calmly into her eyes.

"Hakim Nedry." He said a name.

Camille's expression suddenly changed, she could no longer control herself, and the electric arc instantly enveloped Li Lin.

The flashing electric light hit his skin and clothes, but most of them disappeared inexplicably.

At the same time, she suddenly noticed that Li Lin's clothes began to change, as if she wanted to wrap him in them.

What's happening here……

Just when Camille was confused, the clothes had already covered half of Li Lin's body, showing the appearance of an infinite armor.

Camille's Hex prosthetic eye turned orange, and after a quick scan, she was surprised to find that this suit also contained the energy of the Hex core, which she had not been able to detect before.

Without daring to hesitate too much, she immediately raised her right leg and swept it across Li Lin's head.

But with the muffled sound of "clang", the imagined scene of blood spurting did not appear.

On the contrary, Li Lin's left hand, which was already covered by armor, was like a vise, gripping the sharp blade on her toes, making her right leg unable to move.

Camille stepped forward and immediately activated the Hex Core to inject power into her left leg. She then did a backflip, hoping to cut off Li Lin's left arm.

"That's enough!" Li Lin shouted angrily.

He blocked her leg blade with his right hand and at the same time threw her forcefully towards the Tyrant Alien that had already been activated at the entrance of the workshop.

The hook on the outside of Camille's thigh was unsheathed, and she wanted to hook onto the ceiling beam to adjust her position, but the Tyrant Alien's movement was one step faster.

There was a flash of orange-red light, and the hook lock, which was originally ejected and made of special material, instantly broke into two sections.

Before Camille could react, she felt a burning pain in her neck.

The next second, she felt a heavy blow to her abdomen, and her body fell heavily to the ground, unable to move her entire body.

Camille came back to her senses and looked intently. She had just cut off her hook, and it was Li Lin's robot warrior that looked like a mantis that was pressing on her.

The pair of mantis claws made of energy were crossed on both sides of her neck.

As long as she dares to act rashly, her head and body will immediately separate.

It’s a feeling I haven’t had in more than twenty years.

The last time, she had to deal with an evil mage who was causing trouble in Zaun.

Even though it was magic, it was eventually defeated by Hex Technology...

But now, the combat robot developed by Li Lin is stronger than the one modified by her body augmentation.

"You cannot escape the consequences of your actions, and the Gila Mann family will also be buried with you..."

Before Camille could finish her words, she shook her head and sighed. Li Lin, who was completely covered in armor, interrupted her, "You disappoint me so much, Camille."

He slowly walked up to Camille and looked down at her in a condescending manner, "I originally thought that you would accept the defeat honestly and listen to what I have to say."

After saying this, Li Lin slowly knelt down, unfolded his mask, stared at Camille, who had a gray cloak and an earthy face, and no longer had the noble and elegant posture, and sneered.

"Without you, under my leadership, how can the Philos family rely on to fight the Gilaman family? With Stevan's weak and decaying body? Or with Yabus' shrewd mind?

"My mecha alone can effortlessly raze Lanxun Manor to the ground... Oh, of course, unless you can plead for the help of Janna, the Goddess of Wind, maybe you can leave a few legacies. , so that the surname Philos will not be cut off from inheritance."

Camille gritted her teeth and turned a little pale, seeming to regret her impulsive move just after hearing her lover's name.

"Of course, we are all civilized people, and I prefer diplomacy in a civilized way."

Li Lin asked the Tyrant Alien to let go of Camille and at the same time stretched out his hand to her.

However, she just glanced at Li Lin coldly, chose to stand up by herself, and touched her neck, which had two extra thin scabs.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"Hakeem Nedry, your love, I know you have thought about leaving everything behind and running away to a place where no one knows you."

Camille's pupils shrank slightly after the hidden memories in her mind were exposed, and her breathing became rapid.

This guy……

Is there anything else he doesn't know? !

"But then another gangster attacked and seriously injured Stevan, so you gave up this idea completely."

Camille's breath was stagnant and she couldn't help but step back a little, her face full of shock, "You..."

"Stevan directed and acted in this matter to prevent you from leaving the family. I think you already know this."

"This is impossible..." Camille cried out.

She was not questioning Li Lin's accusation that his brother Stevan would use any means to keep her, but that he actually knew such a secret that only she and her brother knew well.

"This is a magical world, Camille, nothing is impossible."

Li Lin controlled the armor on his body to change back to ordinary clothes, and then made an invitation to Camille, "Would you like another cup of tea?"

Camille's face showed numbness, as if she hadn't heard Li Lin's words.

She had already deeply suspected that the young man in front of her was secretly a magic master with strong spells and good at divination magic.

After all, he is an Ionian.

Li Lin didn't understand what Camille was thinking, and didn't care about her. He returned to the workbench, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp.

All his actions were nothing more than putting pressure on Camille and making her believe that he was invincible, so there was no need to lie.

"You know everything Stevan has done, and you know exactly what kind of person he is."

Li Lin stared at Camille's unfocused eyes, "So, let me ask you again, do you really think your brother's purpose is so simple?"

Camille remained silent. Li Lin took advantage of the victory and continued to ask: "Have you ever thought about what is the first thing he will do after he transforms his body and replaces the Hex core?"

"...Kill you." After hesitating for a few seconds, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength and said those three words.

"Yes, but not entirely right." Li Lin sneered, "And I'll kill you."

"This is impossible, I am his sister..."

"Are you still taking chances with him? Wake up Camille, in Stevan's eyes, your existence is not as important as the immortality he dreams of!

"If I hadn't researched the Hex core, and the only person in the world who mastered the Hex core technology, your former lover Hadri, was missing, what do you think Stevan would have done to ensure his own immortality?"

Li Lin's question made Camille stunned, and she fell into a deep self-struggle.

If it is true as Li Lin said, my brother...

No!

He is my brother, we are flesh and blood relatives, and Li Lin is just an outsider, how could he understand the relationship between my brother and me...

No, that's not right either...

Stevan has long since rotted away, and has been a different person since his mother died in his bed.

Useless and extremely selfish.

If the Philos family had only relied on his various vicious decisions, they would have been wiped out by other families long ago...

Camille quickly recalled what her brother had done over the past few decades, and felt more and more that what Li Lin said was absolutely correct.

Without the new Hex core, his target may very well be me...

Li Lin looked at the change in the color of Camille's face and pupils, "It seems that you have realized it."

"I have my own judgment." Camille retorted without confidence, "No matter what, he is still my brother...and this is our Feros' family matter."

"Okay, I shouldn't comment too much on your family affairs, but one thing is that you should make the Philos family better instead of rotting in Stevan's hands."

Camille bit her lower lip and didn't respond.

Li Lin thought for a while, "By the way, I have a gene-enhancing potion that can greatly improve people's physical fitness."

"So...you just suppressed me, not just by relying on the power of the armor?"

"Yes, this thing must completely change its form to function."

Camille glanced at Li Lin in surprise, "Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I will assassinate you while you sleep?"

Li Lin glared at her helplessly, "You won't do this, and it's impossible to do this."

Why would you ask such a stupid question?

"Behind you, standing is the Philos family. The location of Lanxun Manor has been entered into the mecha's intelligent database."

Camille fell silent again.

Although she was disgusted by this threat, she had to admit that she actually thought so in her heart.

“Getting back to the subject, my genetic enhancement potion can strengthen the body and allow Stevan to return to his prime...but for him, only for a while, because it cannot extend a person’s lifespan.

"At that time, through it, we can test what Stevan wants."

"I have a question." Camille exhaled heavily, "Why on earth did you do this?"

Li Lin scratched his head with a tangled look on his face, "How should I put it? There are too many broken things in this world. If you only focus on the Twin Cities, you are like a frog in the well."

Camille looked confused and didn't quite understand what he wanted to express.

"In general, we need to think about the future, and you will be a big help."

"...Ambition needs to be restrained by facts." Camille didn't know how to evaluate his idea, so she could only say this.

Li Lin smiled at her and said, "It seems that I am qualified to have that kind of ambition."
