Chapter 92 [0090] The Curtain Opens
Wei stretched out her fist and bumped it with Lux - she didn't say much, but it was obvious that she accepted Lux.
This acceptance made Bombshell, who was listening to the story in a daze, a little dissatisfied. She looked at Lux angrily and then made a face in anger.
Facing Bombshell, who looked like "you stole my sister", Lux couldn't help but smile brightly. She took off her headband, adjusted it slightly, and then put it on Bombshell's head.
"You should change your look too." Lux nodded with satisfaction after taking off the inconsistent hairpins of Bombshell. "It looks much better this way. Blue hair with a blue headband is great!"
Bombshell was somewhat uncomfortable with the headband. She instinctively wanted to take it off. Noticing this, Lux turned to Vi decisively: "You said, right?"
"Yes." Vi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "It really suits you."
"Really?" Bombshell widened her eyes in surprise. "I mean, can I really wear it?"
"Of course." Vi glanced at Lux who was blinking at her, and finally nodded. "It's indeed more suitable than those hairpins..."
The approval of her sister made Bombshell feel much better. She seemed to have a lot of strength. She took the initiative to pick up her small bucket and walked towards the mine.
Lux and Vi also looked at each other and each picked up their buckets. Then, just as they took their steps, a clear bird song suddenly sounded in the air.
"Vi, Boom, don't use this bucket of water!" Lux shouted at the first time, "Go to the mine quickly, the Piltover people are coming!"
Lux had already made preparations for the possible explorers - there were many mines around, and she had made a little disguise in advance in a mine that had not been abandoned for so long, and those tomb robbers from Piltover would be led to this mine.
That was the mine that Janna had chosen in advance. The passages inside were complicated and chaotic, which was enough for those Piltover guys to wander around in it for a while. By the time they figured out the situation inside and realized that it was a cover, Lux had already dug up the real laboratory.
However, what she didn't expect was that the Piltover people who came this time were not those tomb robbers, but a large group of Piltover law enforcement officers led by locals!
The leader of the team was none other than Marcos, who had dealt with Lux many times and had a good relationship with her!
This situation was undoubtedly beyond Lux's expectations. When she received Janna's warning, she realized at the first time that these people's target might not be herself, but the four of Vi!
So, she immediately reminded Wei to pay attention, threw away the bucket and turned around to run - the situation had changed, and she needed to notify Kalya first.

Lux received a warning from Janna, and at Fulgrim's Tavern, Vandel also received a warning from Victor.
"Mr. Fandel." Victor rushed to the tavern without even changing his work clothes. "Is Miss Lux still there?"
"Have you finally finished your work in Piltover?" Fandel seemed to be in a good mood. "She went out for something... Hey, why didn't I see that guy named Jayce?"
"Something happened!" Victor looked serious. "Mr. Fandel, please inform Miss Lux immediately. The Explorers' Association of Piltover has set their sights on her-"
"Explorers' Association? Those tomb robbers?" Fandel was stunned by Victor's words. "They have set their sights on Lux? What's going on?"
"I can't say the details. Anyway, I heard rumors in Piltover. Those explorers seem to have determined that Lux has something in her hands... They are not easy to talk to. Many times, they are more difficult to deal with than law enforcement officers-"
Thinking of Lux's previous understatement that she wanted to "dig something up", Fandel finally widened his eyes-he rarely dealt with those explorers, but that didn't mean he didn't know what kind of people they were.
The situation seemed to be getting worse.
Just as Fandel was astonished, someone hurriedly pushed open the door of Fulgrim's Tavern - it was Ike.
"Fandel!" Ike panted heavily, "Someone saw Marcos, and there are many law enforcement officers, they are heading to the lower city!"
The law enforcement officers are here too? !
If explorers don't get up early without benefits, Fandel can still rely on local connections to deal with them, then I'm afraid these law enforcement officers must be heading for the children!
Moreover, judging from the fact that they went straight to Lower Zaun, I'm afraid these cops have discovered something...
Damn it, I clearly blocked the news completely, how could Marcos still find them?
Fandel was very sure that Benso and the others would not leak the news - and Lux would not talk nonsense everywhere.
In this case, who else could find Lux and the others quietly?
At this moment, Fandel finally widened his eyes.
"Mr. Vander, are you going to look for Miss Lacus?" Victor said quickly when he saw Vander standing up. "If so, I hope you can help inform Miss Lacus that our experiment has a new sponsor. I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue working with her, but I promise that our results will -"
"Get out of the way!" Vandel roughly dragged Victor to the other side, "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Since you brought the news, I will tell her that you stood her up. Now, go back to Piltover!"
As he said that, Vandel jumped onto the bar counter with agility that was completely inconsistent with his body shape, and pulled off the gloves he used to mine and beat people from the ceiling.
"Mr. Vandel!" Victor widened his eyes, "I just came to remind you that in fact you don't have to take such drastic measures. My research with Jayce has achieved certain results. Believe me, as long as they stay out of the limelight for a while, we will soon be able to convince the parliament and end this meaningless confrontation-"
"Ekko, close the store door and send Mr. Victor back to Piltover!" Vandel ignored Victor's words, but swiftly put the cast iron gloves on his thick arms, then lowered his head to find an oversized helmet from under the counter and buckled it directly on his head, "Now, immediately!"
"I'm not lying!" Victor couldn't help but raise his voice, "I'm sorry that we failed Miss Lux's kindness, but Jayce and I are willing to help in this way-"
"Shut up, Victor." Vandel, who had armed himself, pushed open the door of the tavern, "This is Zaun's family affair, and has nothing to do with you or Piltover!"
Karlya's Little Classroom·Janna's Warning:
Although it is a bit of a loss to let a god do the surveillance work, surprisingly, Janna herself likes this kind of task very much-flying freely in the streets and alleys of Zaun and bringing back useful information, perhaps this is her most original pleasure as a wind elf.
