Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 151 A Mouse
"What's hidden in your clothes?" Victor noticed the light from Marcus's heart, showing surprise.

"It's nothing, it's just a bottle of potion." Marcus took out the crazy potion from his pocket, and the purple light became brighter.

Victor suddenly thought of something: "You made this yourself? Using the materials you brought back a few days ago?"

He knew that Marcos had great powers, and he could always come up with some advanced blueprints, directly saving them a lot of time in detours.

But he didn't expect that Marcus could even make alchemy potions.

"What are you so surprised for?" Marcus casually weighed the test tube containing the medicine in his hand: "Did you know me on the first day?"

"Then what is the effect of this potion?" Victor asked impatiently: "Why can it resonate with the Hex core? And I can still feel the desire of the Hex core for the potion? No, not the Hex core, but It's the primordial gem in the center, it's making the sound of longing for potion..."

Victor covered his ears, showing a slight pain, the whispering voice in his ear was inaudible, like a pervasive magic voice, as long as there was a slight gap, it would drill into people's ears.

"Victor, listen carefully." Marcus said to Victor with a solemn expression: "Listen carefully to the voice next to your ear. Is it really the Primordial Gem's desire for the potion? Listen carefully, is that voice From the bottom of your heart!"

The faint voice mixed with the magic voice in his ears, squeezed into Victor's mind bit by bit, gradually stirring his sanity.

"The voice... comes from... from the bottom of my heart?" Victor was stunned, and murmured, "You mean, it's not the Primordial Gem that desires the potion, but me... that longs for the potion in your hand?"

"That's right!" Marcus shook the test tube, and the lavender potion made a splash on the inner wall of the glass-made test tube: "Listen carefully to where those longing voices come from."

Crash.

The sound of the potion shaking seems to have some kind of magical power, luring the target to fall into the abyss, getting deeper and deeper.

"Where did it come from? Where did it come from?" Victor repeated this sentence as if hypnotized by Marcus, and his face became more and more painful: "I don't know...I can't hear! I can't hear! I can not hear clearly!"

"You can hear clearly, you have to feel it with your heart and touch it with your soul!" Marcus continued to make a bewitching voice, and made a look at Skye who was at a loss and didn't know what to do next, "Go , find me a syringe."

"Oh... okay." Skye didn't understand what Marcos was going to do, but as an employee of the institute, the boss gave orders, and she just had to execute them.

Victor threw away the crutch in his hand, put his head in his hands, and roared in pain: "I refuse! I refuse! I don't want to listen!!!"

In the next second, his eyes regained clarity, and there was a crisp crackling sound inside the Hex core of the nearby research table, and the light of the energy flow inside the primordial gem gradually dimmed.

"Failed..." Marcus shook his head regretfully. He didn't expect that even though Victor's illness had begun to deteriorate, he still had a bottom line in the deepest part of his heart.

He has not yet reached the state where his survival instinct surpasses everything in the original book, so he can get rid of the double temptation of Marcus and the will of the original gem.

"You..." Victor panted heavily, picked up the crutch, and looked at Marcos with a flash of horror in his eyes: "Marcos, what did you do to me just now?!"

"It's nothing."

The plan failed, and Marcos didn't panic at all. He waited for Skye to hand him the syringe, and the crazy potion was installed and handed over to Victor: "Just to let you experience what it's like to have great power."

"Powerful power?" Victor realized something, and looked at the potion in his hand in disbelief: "You mean... magic?"

"It can be understood in this way." Marcus did not explain in detail, but said to him: "You keep the medicine yourself, and when you think the time is right, just like what I asked you to do, open your heart and accept that thing is right. The olive branch you throw, and then inject the potion into yourself."

"As for what the result will be, it's up to you." Marcus straightened his appearance, smoothing out every crease of his coat: "Whether it's degenerate into a monster, or usher in a glorious evolution?" , between your thoughts."

After finishing speaking, he left here without looking back. Marcos saw Hank leading a group of people dragging something to the institute, waiting for him to pass.

"Monster, or evolution?" Victor held the syringe and looked at the extinguished Hex core on the table.

Marcus played charades with him, did not solve his puzzles for him, did not let him know what was hidden in the original gem, did not tell him the effect of the potion, did not tell him what would happen when the Hex core and the potion were used together, and did not let him know what was hidden in the original gemstone. Tell him what Marcus himself is doing.

Obviously the two were joking not long ago, but Victor suddenly felt that Marcus was much stranger.

He wouldn't have been like this before.

He should stand up and clarify the confusion when he and Jess are most confused, instead of doing some specious and mysterious things like now.

or……

"Does he want me to make my own choices and explore all the secrets by myself?" Victor's face flashed a look of sadness, but unfortunately he didn't have much time, otherwise he wouldn't mind slowly unraveling the mystery of these things .

Skye hesitated for a moment, walked up to Victor, held his arm, and asked worriedly, "Victor, you..."

"I'm fine." Victor shook his head lightly, a thought flashed through his mind.

I have to live.

There are still too many unknowns in this world waiting for me to explore and reveal the secrets.

I can't just die so easily!

"Skye, bring me another...hex crystal." Victor ordered to the assistant, his expression had returned to his usual indifference, only a ball of flames was hidden deep in his eyes.

I am one of the founders of Hextech!

The Hex core still needs me to continue debugging!

The future of Hextech is still waiting for me to witness!

anyway.

I don't even want to die so soon!

and so.

Like Marcus said.

magic.

Let me experience it myself, can you bring a miracle!

The hex core lights up again, and Victor decides to start researching what is going on with the whispers that appear in his ears from the artificial hex crystal as the energy supply core.

Why can only I hear it, and Skye and Marcus didn't notice it at all?

But Marcos doesn't seem to be surprised by this?

There must be some kind of connection!

……

"Sir, look what I caught over there in the dormitory!?"

When Hank saw Marcus coming, he danced excitedly and pointed to the cage welded with thick iron rods next to him.

There is a mouse in a cage.

A huge mutant mouse with mottled fur and quick eyes!

At the same time, on the skill panel of the Almighty System, the chains on the surface of five skill icons were untied.
