LOL: Let me touch your steel

"Then I realized that something was wrong, and I went to the source of the poisonous gas in the alchemy factory where the accident occurred to check. As a result, there was no poisonous gas leaking there... It was as if the poisonous gas had disappeared completely!"

Hearing this, Renata frowned instantly.

Alchemical poison gas disappeared out of thin air?

It's simply unheard of!

But Renata was a person who had seen the world after all, and she did not show too much panic after hearing the news. After a brief shock, she quickly calmed down:

"Have you counted it? How many breathing equipment have been sent out?"

"this..."

Kronk hesitated for a moment, but still spoke the truth under Renata's dignified gaze:

"The poison gas disappeared too suddenly. The breathing equipment...less than half of it was sent out."

Renata clenched her fists instantly, her chest heaving up and down, her brain working rapidly as she thought of a countermeasure.

At this point, the plan to use this gratuitous act to win the hearts of the people of Zuan has failed, and we must think of remedial measures...

Renata took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Send someone to inform them immediately that Golask Industries has used alchemical technology to completely purify the poisonous gas in the air, and send doctors to treat those who have been poisoned without receiving breathing equipment."

Then, Renata's expression gradually became gloomy, and her voice became colder:

"Finally... check it for me! I want to know what happened to the disappearance of the poison gas! I don't care whether it was man-made or natural, I have to find out for me!"

"If you can find out, the dance bar near the factory will be handed over to you for management. But if you can't find out clearly...you don't have to continue to be the person in charge of this factory!"

-------

Zhang Xu, who was strolling in Zaun City, didn't know that Taliyah's kindness and his actions inadvertently destroyed Renata's plan.

At this time, they had already reached the center of the city.

Compared to the remote alleys and stinking ditches on the edge of Zaun City, the center of the city has some traces of an industrial and technological city.

"I miss the days when we had maps... At least we wouldn't get lost."

Kassa sighed resentfully. The three of them had been walking aimlessly in the city for a long time. The city of Zaun, with its interweaving of industrial pipelines and various factory alleys, was like a large underground maze, and they had no clue at all.

"Well... just wait until we get to Piltover. The little yellow-haired guy lives there."

"Little yellow hair?"

It took Kassa a while to realize that Zhang Xu was talking about the kind man who had been sending them maps.

"But... don't we have to stay in Zaun for a while? This period of time will be very difficult... By the way, are there really gods in Zaun?"

Thinking of the goddess of wind that Zhang Xu had told him on the way here, Kaisa's eyes showed curiosity again: "If she is the god of Zaun, then why don't people here worship her statue? It seems that people here don't believe in gods at all."

Um...

In a sense, Kai'Sa is right.

The people of Zaun do often forget about me. They only remember me when they encounter some major disasters. After the disaster, they believe in me for a while, and then slowly forget about me until the next disaster comes, and this cycle repeats itself.

The main focus is on the last-minute faith.

I am really a good-tempered person.

If it were a god with a more irritable temper, he would probably have stopped serving us long ago.

"Perhaps, the people of Zaun have gradually forgotten her... I don't know if I can see her this time."

......

"Yochi, this is too dangerous. If this level of alchemical mixture is added, the instrument will definitely explode!"

"Oh don't worry Ike, with you here, we will definitely be safe."

A burst of noise instantly caught the attention of the three people. They looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw several boys of similar age gathered in a circle in a back street not far ahead, tinkering with something secretly.

Zhang Xu's eyes suddenly focused, he just heard a familiar name.

Ike?

With his outstanding eyes, Zhang Xu quickly found a white-haired boy among these boys. He had dark skin, was wearing a punk jacket, and was obviously much taller than his friends around him.

But what caught people's attention the most was the slightly oddly shaped green curler in his hand.

It was a beautiful crystal device - a broken hex crystal.

Zhang Xu frowned, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

Through this crystal device, I harnessed the space-time power of this broken crystal and controlled it for a short period of time...

It also controls time.

Although it was only a short period of time, it was amazing enough.

In the game's vast background story, only Zilean and Ekko are linked to time.

Zhang Xu was very curious about the crystal. Jilan’s advice to him was still fresh in his mind: Don’t try to control time, otherwise you will be exiled by time.

Even someone as strong as Kiran was exiled by time, trapped in the long river of time, and could no longer appear to interfere with the outside world.

But Ike was able to do this with just the Hextech crystal in his hand, although the control time was only short and it would also put a certain burden on Ike's own body.

But this does mean mastering some of the power of time!

Is it only this piece of Hextech crystal that contains the power of time and space? Or is it...Ike's own talent?

or...

Hextech crystals, a technology that mostly exists in Piltover and Zaun, contain some secrets that he doesn't know about?

Chapter 130 The Sudden Explosion

"Hey, Ike, relax. We have nothing to fear with you here, right?"

The boy whom Ike called Yochi waved his hand nonchalantly, not taking Ike's advice to heart. Ever since Ike used his magical curler to save a companion's life, they began to push their luck, always challenging each other to new heights of recklessness and stupidity.

Because they knew that Ike would have a way to keep them safe.

Under the stimulation of the unknown, Yochi glanced at his friends around him, and excitedly dropped a bottle of unknown chemical into the instrument on the ground.

A burst of violent bubbles instantly gushed out of the instrument bottle, followed by a 'bang'. As expected, the alchemical mixture caused a chemical reaction, resulting in an explosion.

The huge explosion shook the air, and the aftermath of the explosion instantly sucked Yochi, who was closest to it, into it. The strong airflow blew away everything around him, including his body.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yochi will die on the spot in a chemical explosion.

Kassadin and Taliyah hid in the distance, staring in amazement at this suicidal act.

It is difficult for them to understand what is going on in the minds of these Shamatte teenagers. Their behavior... is no different from that of a lunatic!

But the next second, Ike activated the crystal device, his movements were as skillful as if he had practiced hundreds of times. The world around him shattered, and he was pulled backwards in the torrent of time particles.

Time stops and goes backwards.

Until it went back to a few seconds ago, when Yochi just took the alchemical potion in his hand.

However, the range of influence of the crystal device is not large. Zhang Xu, Kassadin and Taliyah, who are at a certain distance from Ike and his companions, are not affected by time. The three of them know very well what happened.

He reversed time?

Kasa suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Xu in shock.

Control time. These four simple words made Kai'Sa think of something.

Zhang Xu was not surprised at all, he just nodded thoughtfully.

Apparently, the Hextech crystal fragment in Ike's hand has not only a time limit, but also a range limit. He can only reverse time around his body for a few seconds.

Is it because Ike himself is not strong enough, so he can’t go against the current for a long time?

Or...

There is a price to pay for using the crystal device to reverse time. Is the price of reversing a few seconds just acceptable to Ike?

Do you want to snatch the curler from Ike's hand and study it?

A not-so-glorious idea quickly flashed through Zhang Xu's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

Instead of trying to snatch the Hextech crystal fragments from Ike, it is better to go to the origin of the Hextech crystal mine for research.

Zhang Xu always felt that there was a huge secret hidden behind the Hextech crystal.

......

"Yoki! Stop it!"

Thinking of the violent explosion that only he had experienced, a trace of fear flashed in Ike's eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the alchemical potion from Yochi's hand, stopping Yochi from committing another suicidal act.

"This thing will cause a huge explosion! Explosion, you know? It's the kind that goes 'bang' and kills everyone!"

Ike looked at these friends who were committing suicide in frustration, feeling inexplicably tired.

Seeing Ike's big reaction, the others looked at each other, seemed to realize something, turned their eyes away awkwardly, pretending nothing had happened.

But the next moment,

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The violent explosion shook the entire city. Hearing the explosion, Ike's hands shook subconsciously. He thought that Yochi was unconvinced and poured the alchemical potion in again.

Then Ike realized that the alchemical potion was in his hand.

"Ike...is this the kind of explosion you're talking about?"

"As if... No, of course not! Run!"

......

The violent vibration caused the entire Zaun to let out a wail. The roar of the explosion was like the roar of a giant beast. A gorgeous fire dragon soared into the sky, and the blazing flames rolled in the night sky, turning everything around into burning earth in an instant.

"It's the alchemy plant of Gorasque Industries. An explosion of this magnitude..."

Looking at the mushroom cloud rising above the huge factory in the city center, Zhang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he directly protected Kassadin and Taliyah behind him. Void energy poured out, surrounding the three of them, as if forming a protective shield, completely protecting the three of them.

The impact caused by the explosion and the toxic gases leaked from the factory explosion could not spread at all under the influence of the void energy.

But ordinary people in Zaun City are obviously not so lucky.
