Cyberzaun, Machinarium

Chapter 136 No More Constraints

Jinx looked at the troublesome woman lying on the ground with satisfaction and stopped twitching. She put the business card kept in the Zodiac Vault into her pocket before the blood flowing from her body coagulated.

This is the business card that Cassiopeia left for Littlefinger. On the black background, a rose-shaped pattern is embroidered with gold thread. This is obvious evidence. As long as the law enforcement officer who cleans up the site is not a fool, he will definitely be able to find out about Noxus. Even if the law enforcement officer is not clear-headed, there will be "smart people" who will remind him of these small details.

With this body and another spy hidden in Piltover, Piltover and Zaun will be legitimate victims. Unless an invasion war is launched, Noxus has no reason to send troops into these two cities, and can maintain its autonomy to the greatest extent. At that time, it only needs to pull in the alliance of Demacia and Ionia, and the other side will have to weigh the consequences if they want to take action.

After returning to check the bomb again, Jinx left the scene without anyone noticing. All she needed to do was wait for something to happen, and then work with Enoch to eliminate the unstable factors.

The power of the bomb was ideal. The raging flames broke through the glass, and the debris flew around. The front of the nearby conference room was blown to pieces. Huge smoke and dust filled the nearby lawn. The reporters who were waiting to report the news were knocked unconscious by the impact. Looking at the unbelievable scene in front of them, they rushed towards the cordon set up by the law enforcement officers like crazy, trying to get first-hand information.

Jinx was on a nearby high-rise building, using a telescope to carefully search for the blue light in the smoke. That was the light of the magic shield. Finding this thing meant finding Enoch.

"Where have you been hiding? Little Finger, come out!" Jinx searched carefully for a while, but found nothing. She suddenly grabbed the telescope in her hand and looked at the smoke in the distance anxiously.

She suddenly felt like a fish thrown onto the shore, breathing heavily, her heart filled with uneasiness, "No, he'll be fine, he promised." Thinking of this, Jinx once again pressed the telescope tightly in front of her eyes, trying to find any hope in the noisy scene.

"No, Littlefinger will be fine. I'm going to go in and find him. Right now." Jinx threw away the telescope and ran towards the ruins, muttering to herself.

At this time, Enoch had just found Hilco lying on the ground, and took the test tube from his hand before he used the glimmer.

"Is that you?" Hilco looked like a broken rag doll. From the chest down, flesh and blood mixed with dust. As he spoke, a lot of blood foam flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, I planned it. Sorry, you may not be able to use it." Enoch looked at the reagent in his hand. Perhaps because he had used the glimmer many times before, although Hilco was thin, his physical fitness was obviously stronger than others. The fact that he could still speak was the best proof.

However, he doesn't have much time left. Judging from his appearance, the damage to his internal organs is enough to slowly push him towards death.

After a moment of silence, Enoch bent down and took out the cigar box from Hilco's arms, lit the cigar with the surrounding flames, and helped put it into Hilco's mouth.

After taking a long puff of tobacco and coughing a few times, Hilco used all his strength to ask intermittently, "Is this the necessary method?"

"I'm not sure, but doing so will ensure that everyone can unite and face the outside world together, and then contact Demacia's allies. Noxus may not invade for the time being. Lady Midalda provided me with important information about the internal turmoil in Noxus."

"It's...too risky. You need to have...a backup plan."

"Time is too tight. I have no choice but to do this. Now, there are no more senators who have defected, and all possible traitors have died in the assassination launched by Noxus. The woman's excuse is useless..." Enoch leaned against Hilco, looking at the severed limbs and body parts in front of him.

"Now that no one has surrendered, I will deal with Noxus on my own terms... at least not at the Senate table in Piltover."

"Well done." Hilco smiled rarely and slowly took out a key from his body. "In the cabinet to the right of my desk... there is a safe. It contains all the smuggling channels of Zaun, partner information, and the contact information of the brokers. If I can... help you..."

"Thank you." Enoch took the key and put it away carefully. "I will make good use of it... Is there anything else you need my help with?"

"Yes," Hilco panted, "You have to be careful in the future. When talking to Zaun people, don't always ask questions. Just give orders directly. You have to pay attention to the way you speak."

Enoch nodded slowly. "What else...thank you for your advice."

"That's it..." Hilco's chest gradually calmed down, and his fingers weakly stroked Enoch's arm and gently placed it on the cigar box in his hand. "This is yours..."

Enoch watched in silence as Hilco took his last breath, slowly put away the slightly deformed cigar box, and slowly closed the arcane kinetic shield before the surrounding paramedics arrived.

Breathing in the choking smoke, Enoch picked up the gravel on the ground and sighed softly, "I hope this thing doesn't hurt too much."

………………

The chaos in the parliament spread out along the streets. The people of Zaun and Piltover, who had been waiting for news of peace, looked at each other in confusion. No one knew what had happened. Both Zaun and Piltover were in chaos. In addition to the meeting venue, huge explosions occurred in the manors of all the parliamentarians. The chemical plant of the Alchemist Baron in the lower city also caught fire in the explosion. Fortunately, Zaun's ventilators were still working normally, drawing the thick smoke into the sky.

Shrouded in smoke, the sky of the two cities was completely dark. Law enforcement officers and terrorist mobile teams were all on the streets to maintain order. Even so, the people gradually fell into uneasy chaos.

Jinx ran through the chaotic crowd and rushed inside, knocking down anyone who stood in her way until she was stopped by the law enforcement officer in front of her.

"Don't block my way." Jinx glared at Vi who was blocking her way. "I want to see Littlefinger."

"No, it's too dangerous inside." Wei shook her head. She was holding Caitlin, who was like a puppet, in one hand, and had to stop her slightly crazy sister at the other.

"Get out of the way" Jinx pushed Wei away "This is the last time"

"Ah, damn it, screw the order maintenance... You guys wait outside, I'll go in and take a look at the situation alone." Wei looked at her sister's gloomy eyes, sighed, and prepared to head towards the fire scene.

"No, you have to complete the task that Littlefinger asked you to do... right now." Jinx dodged the law enforcer who was not paying attention and rushed into the fire scene, struggling to find Enoch's trace in the smoke.

"Little Finger, where are you? Can you hear me?" Jinx Ninja felt the discomfort in her lungs after stepping on a hand left by someone unknown. She shouted anxiously.

"Jinx?"

Chapter 137 Prosthetic Upgrade

Jinx ran quickly towards the source of the sound. She recognized Enoch's voice, but it was too weak. What happened?

"Littlefinger? Are you okay? Answer me now."

Faintly, she saw Littlefinger, wearing a suit that looked extremely stupid to Jinx, leaning against the broken wall.

Jinx was surprised and kept complaining to Enoch, "You almost scared me to death, you annoying guy, I want...oh no"

Jinx was frightened by the appearance of the boy in front of her. The prosthetic limb on his left hand had disappeared, leaving only the broken wire hanging low. His clothes were torn to pieces. What made Jinx sad was the wound on Enoch's face. The boy closed his eyes tightly, and blood kept flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"No, no, I'm sorry. Why are you hurt so badly? Did I do something wrong?" Jinx cried in fear, carefully holding Enoch's face and carefully observing the injury on his little finger.

"I'm fine, little rascal." Enoch touched the girl's trembling fingertips. "This is all part of the plan."

"No, I don't believe it. I must have done something wrong." Jinx gently touched her little finger and wiped the blood off Enoch's face helplessly.

"Listen to me, this is all planned. I've prepared for it. When we get to Zaun, can you help me replace my electronic eye with one?" Enoch stroked the girl's arm and gently touched her face, feeling her body trembling. "Are you crying?"

"I didn't." Jinx wiped her face fiercely. "I won't cry. I'm Jinx."

"That's good," Enoch smiled softly, "Now, you are my eyes, take me out."

When Jinx's petite figure carried Enoch's half-crippled body out of the fire and stood on the grass, the surrounding reporters crowded forward like crazy.

"Excuse me, what happened inside?"

"Please answer us, was this an assassination attempt on Parliament?"

"Is there anyone else alive in there?"

The rescue team that was still cleaning up the area was also surprised to see the two men. How did they get out of such a big fire? Without giving them any thought, the medical rescuers rushed over and carried the Alchemist Baron aside for emergency treatment.

"How is he?" Jinx followed the doctor and looked at the scary Inuk with concern.

"It's not too bad. There are no obvious fractures or serious injuries. The rest requires additional examination before we can make any conclusions."

Jinx nodded and pulled the hurried law enforcement officer over and said, "Send all the people who have gathered back. Put the nearest five blocks under martial law. Start a curfew tonight. Find out how the explosion happened... Do you hear me?"

"Yes." The law enforcement officer quickly saluted and hurriedly conveyed the order.

"Now," Jinx walked a few steps to Enoch's side and gently held his still intact right hand. "I will be with you."

The riots continued until the night, and the situation was slightly relieved under the curfew. After a simple treatment, Enoch was temporarily fine and was sitting on the bed listening to Marcos' report.

"The accident has been found to be caused by explosives installed in advance. It contains the same ingredients as other explosions. It should be a premeditated attack. A body was found near the explosion site. We are verifying its identity."

"As for the participants, except for Councillor Midarda who was slightly injured, Councillor Talis and Councillor Gilaman who were seriously injured, all others were confirmed dead. As for Zaun..."

"What's wrong? Is it hard to tell?" Jinx stopped raising the knife to peel the apple and waved it at Marcus in dissatisfaction.

"No... All the alchemist barons from Zaun are confirmed dead except you." Marcus looked out the door uneasily for a while before he mustered up the courage to say, "Someone outside wants to see you."

"No problem," Enoch waved his hand, "Let them in."

Watching the sheriff hurriedly run out, Jinx leaned close to Enoch's ear and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are there so many people still alive?"

"Because Jace is more useful alive than dead, I prepared a weakened magic shield for him in advance. I didn't expect that Medarda would survive."

"Don't change the subject, you know who I'm talking about"

"Giraman was standing behind me when the explosion occurred, and the shield reduced most of the impact, so he survived... Don't be angry, he is your sister's relative after all."

Jinx frowned, and after a while she realized that Enoch couldn't see anything. She gave up and stuffed the apple slices into Little Finger's mouth. "I just feel unwilling. Why are they the only ones with minor injuries?"

"Believe me," Enoch smiled, "Under the current circumstances, Senator Mel would rather be seriously injured."

With hurried footsteps, Mel rushed into Enoch's ward and shut everyone else out.

Looking at the weak Enoch, Mel asked uncertainly, "Do you know something?"

"I want to hear your explanation," Enoch drawled, slowly leaning back against the pillow.

"I don't know why this happened... I'll find out"

"This matter should be left to professionals. I believe in the professional level of the law enforcement officer." Enoch did not comment. "I am curious why you were only slightly injured?"

"Because the holy object my mother gave me...this is not the point. What do you want to do?" Mel was a little flustered. This drama was not what she was good at. For now, whoever controls the force will be the real manager of this city.

It is obvious that the terrorist squads now maintaining order on the streets show who is in charge of this city now.

"Waiting is a virtue, Senator Mel, I need to rest." Enoch raised his hand gently, Jinx understood and stood up, tilted her head towards the woman, and unceremoniously "invited" the Senator to leave.

After locking the door, Jinx jumped onto the bed, pulled Enoch's still intact prosthesis over, lowered her head and asked softly, "What are we going to do next?"

"Go back to Zaun," Enoch smiled. "I want to replace my prosthetic body. It took me a lot of effort to make the electronic eyeball. You have to help me perform a small operation to install it."

Jinx lowered her head and was silent for a while. Suddenly, she lay in Enoch's arms and gently touched his face. "I've seen your design... I remember that thing is universal? It can be connected and replaced, right?"

"Yes, that's right"

Jinx paused and said, "Let's exchange. Don't you like my eyes the most? How about I give you my eyes?"

Enoch hugged the girl tightly and said, "Excuse me, it is the most beautiful when you have it."

"I insist... Let's share with each other. From today on, I can see what you see, and you can see what I see, okay?" Jinx said firmly and seriously, "I want to be with you forever."

Chapter 138 Big News

——Herald News——

Recently, many manors in Piltover suffered terrorist attacks. After strict investigation and interrogation by law enforcement officers, it was discovered that the explosives used at the explosion site were the same material as those used in the Peace Summit attack, which was a chemical bomb made in Noxus.

At the same time, the bodies of several Noxian soldiers wearing law enforcement uniforms were found at the peace summit. The female corpse found in the tunnel on the same day was confirmed to be Tamara, a Noxian war mason lurking in Zaun. At the same time, her subordinate Colette in Piltover was investigated and her espionage activities in the Clock Academy were confirmed.

After investigation by law enforcement officers, it has been confirmed that there are a large number of Piltover & Zaun maps and corresponding pipeline distribution in his room, and a large number of patent design drawings have also been found.

Our newspaper interviewed Officer Wei from the Law Enforcement Department. "I have never seen such a detailed map. Anyone can find a place with this thing."

Officer Wei was emotional several times during the interview, expressed great anger at Colette's spying behavior, and tried to use excessive law enforcement powers several times.

(For details, please see the third edition of "The Violent Law Enforcement of Piltover Law Enforcement Officers: Who Will Restrain Uncontrolled Judicial Oppression")

The specific reasons why Noxus carried out the assassination are still under further investigation. The police call on all citizens to raise their awareness of prevention and pay attention to patent confidentiality.

Regarding the Noxian attack, our reporter interviewed Senator Meir Midalda, who was recovering in a sanatorium in Kazan yesterday. When asked about key issues related to the Noxian attack, the Senator expressed strong dissatisfaction: "I am closely following the development of the situation, and I believe that the law enforcement agency will investigate the specific issues."

(For details about the in-depth connection between the Midalda family and Noxus, please pay attention to the second edition of "The Game Behind the Family: Capital Flows from Abroad")

The loss verification of various attack targets is being carried out steadily. The Law Enforcement Bureau has assured that normal life will be restored as soon as possible. The curfew will be lifted in the near future. Please pay attention to the notification of the local police station for the specific time.

At the same time, the turmoil in Zaun caused by the assassination of its leader has basically stabilized, and the people of Piltover can use the bridge for entertainment and work normally. According to people familiar with the matter, the current leader of Zaun is in a stable state and is optimistic about the future peace between the two cities.

Unfortunately, because Baron Enoch was recuperating, we were unable to interview him further. His secretary refused our normal interview with him and rudely expressed her contempt for the peace conference.

(For details, please visit the entertainment version of "Forbidden Emotions: The Twisted Sexual Oppression of the Baron and the Young Girl")

"Okay, that's enough. Don't read any more." Enoch, who was lying on the recliner, hurriedly interrupted Jinx's actions. Although his eyes were still covered with gauze, Jinx's excitement could still be easily heard from his voice.

"Oh, don't be such a pity. I think it's quite interesting. This article is the most valuable thing in this garbage. It seems that he wrote it very excitingly. I don't think it should be put in the entertainment section. This article should be published on the front page!"

Jinx adjusted the bandage around her right eye, smiled and lay beside Enoch, gently pulling his arm up and putting it on herself, "But, I just want to read to you..."

The continuous coughing interrupted Jinx's coquettishness. Turning around, she saw Vi and Ekko waiting in front of the door. She awkwardly pretended not to see anything.

"Oh, the little one and the big one are here," Jinx whispered in Enoch's ear, then turned around and stood behind the table and chairs obediently.

Enoch nodded and waved to the front. "Welcome my friends, please take a seat. Please forgive my impoliteness. After all, it is not convenient for me to move around now."

As the friction of the chairs stopped, Enoch spoke again: "First of all, congratulations, Sheriff Weiole. The current situation is turbulent, and the Law Enforcement Bureau will be responsible for many things next... I am very interested in the good news you brought."

Wei stared at the gauze on her sister's face for a while, and hurriedly responded when she heard the question, "Oh yes, Madam Gilaman has been in a coma, and Caitlyn has become the new senator. Jayce also woke up yesterday and agreed to your proposal. We can announce the establishment of the United Kingdom of Piltover and Zaun in a while."

"As expected, I guess he must have some other additional conditions."

"Yes," Wei nodded subconsciously, "He is against you becoming the Archon. He is worried..."

"Are you worried that I will lead the United Kingdom into trouble?" Enoch laughed. "He is still prejudiced against me. It doesn't matter. Tell him that I propose that Heimerdinger be the first governor of the United Kingdom."

Wei and Ekko exchanged strange glances and silently changed the subject, but the abnormal pause still made Enoch aware of it. "Beyond your expectations, right? Heimerdinger is an excellent professor and a Yordle. He has the biggest advantage at this stage - neutrality and he has lived long enough.

And because of their ethnicity, neither side will trust him too much, nor worry that he will lean towards the human camp. As long as he learns to control himself and not express his opinions on things too often, I can give our longevity gentleman the title of king if necessary. "

"I understand," Wei agreed, pulling out a notebook from her bosom. "Then, in addition to Governor Heimerdinger, there are still Senators Jayce and Caitlyn on the Piltover side. Former Senator Meir Midarda is now being held in the Kazan Sanatorium.

Under the pretext of knowing the danger of explosions, we thoroughly searched the homes of other councillors and their companions and found a lot of things. About 4% of Piltover’s big merchants were locked up in the Kazan Sanatorium…”

"I don't care about these people... Tell me which of these congressmen are traitors." Enoch rubbed his brows. He had no interest in this aspect. He didn't shoot them directly because he considered the problem of causing unrest.
