Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 21 Deviation
"You said it was a robbery?"

Councilor Meyer turned around and asked, "Did any dangerous items be snatched?"

Theft is called theft if the owner doesn't find out.

After being discovered, fleeing with something in front of the owner is called robbery.

Marcos stood beside Grayson, his face sinking like water. This meeting was brought forward. In his impression, Marcos went to meet Silko first before meeting these congressmen with Grayson.

I hope this kind of trivial matter will not affect the subsequent plot, otherwise it will be troublesome...

Marcus' eyes sank.

"It's hard to say, we don't know what we found."

Grayson answered questions from lawmakers: "Not to mention missing ones."

"When the word "magic" was mentioned, the people were terrified." Congressman Hoskall still had fear on his face: "The criminals must be brought to justice!"

It is not known whether the public is terrified or not, but this congressman is indeed terrified.

The corner of Marcus's mouth curled slightly. He really couldn't figure out how this kind of courage could sit on the congressman's table.

"We will do our best!"

Grayson put his hands behind his back: "Member, I assure you!"

"So perfunctory?"

The sissy congressman next to him held a delicate wine glass and said domineeringly: "I suspect that even if you try your best, you may not be able to complete the task!"

What was the man's name, Marcus forgot.

But when he watched the original drama, he didn't have a good impression of this guy.

Seeking profit, timidity, pleasure-seeking, and bullying are all the "strengths" of this congressman.

This kind of person accepts the protection of the law enforcement officer, and at the same time bosses others around in a superior tone. Marcos is not used to him.

Immediately replied: "In short, we can catch people... don't worry."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly found someone staring at him with sharp eyes, turned his head and saw that it was Grayson, and Marcus immediately swallowed the remaining half of the curse words.

"We inspected the people in Dicheng from the beginning to the end, and sealed up the shops on half a street."

Grayson really made a point of this: "Senator, I don't mean to offend, but don't you think we have tossed hard enough?"

The implication is that if this trouble continues, it is likely to cause a backlash in Zaun. The tragedy of rushing the bridge a few years ago is vivid in my memory. Do you want to do it again?

These are the retreats that Grayson had thought of long ago when he arranged for Marcus to do things.

However, this incident involved 'magic', and the originally 'weak' parliament unexpectedly hardened.

"No amount of trouble is too much! If necessary, the bottom city should be turned upside down, and the most important thing is to catch talents!"

Hearing this, Grayson knew that everything he had done before was in vain, and he could only hope that Vander would hand over someone.

Marcos was thinking that it was his turn to act, and he had to go to Fulgen's Tavern to put some pressure on Vander, otherwise Vander would not decide to take the blame so quickly.

But before that, he had to meet the big villain—Silk.

Zaun, Dark Lane, Dock Factory.

It was also the factory that Marcos could see from the rooftop when he talked with the sisters the night before yesterday.

The factory's sign has a crab pattern drawn in red paint. Its previous business may have been to transport and trade some seafood in Zaun, Picheng and Bilgewater Port.

but now……

It looks like it's abandoned here, but when you walk into it, the walls are full of messy graffiti and colorful.

In addition to graffiti, the ground and walls were radiated with a large amount of purple alchemy potions. If you stepped on them with leather boots, light smoke would rise. These alchemy potions are corrosive.

These are all failed products produced during the research process of the 'Shimmer Potion', and besides being corrosive, they are also flammable and explosive products.

In the very center of the radiation pattern of the alchemy potion is a half-open side door.

The inside of the door was extremely dark, in stark contrast to the radiant hall outside. Looking inside the door, the deep darkness was like a giant man-eating beast lying there with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.

Marcus knew that behind this door was Silko's most important laboratory.

A laboratory for researching 'Shimmer Potion'!
This kind of alchemy potion can turn people into monsters, and it has powerful power in a short period of time, and ordinary law enforcement officials are no match for it.

Even firearms and weapons are difficult to play their due role in front of the mutant warriors who drank Shimmer.

When Marcus was still hesitating whether to find someone to come over and bring him a litter now, there was a sound of steady footsteps inside the door.

A thin figure came out from the darkness, his sinister and stern face was gradually revealed in the light. Half of his face was burned by chemical waste and a strange brassy eye, which added to his temperament. A trace of mystery and fierceness.

Just standing there, no need for unnecessary movements, when Marcus looked at him, he almost thought that the person standing there was not a person, but a wolf that would launch a fatal blow to him at any time!

Marcus thought a lot about the opening line, but none of them were suitable, so he had to recite the original plot silently: "This is the first time I've been invited to the dark alley, I hope I'm not wasting my time."

With the tense relationship between the two cities opposing each other, let alone a nobody like Marcus, even those high-ranking members of parliament, don't even think about getting an invitation from the black alley.

Of course, the focus of this sentence is the word 'invitation'.

Even Piltover law enforcement officers who want to enter certain private areas of Zaun voluntarily, or when they are not on official business, will be denied entry.

It is not uncommon for some radicals to attack law enforcement officers, and there are many such prisoners in Stillwater Prison.

"Of course I won't waste time, Marcos, I will let you return with a rewarding experience."

Different from the original plot, Silko did not satirize Marcos a few words, but went straight to the point and talked about "cooperation" with Marcos.

Marcus frowned unobtrusively. The feeling that the plot was inadvertently out of control made him a little uneasy.

What went wrong?
He carefully reviewed what he did after time travel, and finally discovered the key factors that would affect Silko's opinion of himself.

The coachman!

In the original play, according to Marcos' character, it is impossible to agree to meet the so-called boss behind the driver as soon as the driver invites him.

As Silko commented on him, Marcos is indeed a guy with his eyes above his head, and like most Piltovers, he doesn't take a good look at the Zaun people.

At that time, Marcos should have rejected several invitations, and it was not until Grayson was personally pressured by several members of the parliament that he agreed to meet Silko.

This kind of behavior is in line with Silko's evaluation of Marcos.

Damn!

I actually made a mistake in such an inconspicuous place!

But fortunately, in the original play, Silko exchanged money and some unknown past events for Marcus, a [-]-year-old boy, and passed on some internal news from the Law Enforcement Bureau to him at critical moments.

From the few contacts I had with the coachman, the other party probably instilled in Silko the impression of a 'Marcus' greedy for money.

Although Shirko's perception of himself has been deviated, he has reshaped the world line to its original direction by a strange coincidence. ①
