The moon was high in the sky, and it was already early morning before I knew it.
A few hours ago, Heimerdinger sent away all the students, leaving only Viktor and Skye behind.
The last time Heimerdinger made a device that allowed people to travel to the spiritual realm was hundreds of years ago in Ionia.
The original mechanical device has long been turned into scrap metal, and it is still in Heimerdinger’s laboratory in Bandle City.
Piltover has a portal to Bandle City, but the time flow rate between the two places is different. It may take him several days or even weeks to go back to his hometown and then back.
By then Valentina would have been completely cold…
However, Heimerdinger clearly remembered every design drawing he designed, so it was not a problem to temporarily create a shuttle device that broke the barriers between the physical realm and the spiritual realm.
Skye went to the warehouse to retrieve the Hex energy crystal, while Li Lin and Victor assisted Heimerdinger in making a mechanical device according to the sketch he drew in the laboratory next door.
The clinker degree and speed of Li Lin’s manufacturing machinery greatly exceeded Heimerdinger and Victor’s expectations, and even shocked them.
The machine, which was originally expected to take at least 10 hours to complete and conduct preliminary feasibility experiments, only took more than an hour under Li Lin’s operation.
This was the result of him deliberately slowing down a bit and waiting for Skye to get a few energy crystals before finishing.
Otherwise, with the enhancement of various abilities of the “Mechanical Heart”, it would only take him half an hour to make such a relatively simple shuttle device.
The “realm shuttle” was named by Heimerdinger and was divided into two parts.
Part of it is installed and fixed in the physical realm, using energy to break the barrier between the two realms, and serving as an anchor to guide users who enter the spiritual realm back.
The other part is worn on the user like armor for protection, and can also be connected to the anchor point in the material realm to prevent him from getting lost in the strange magical world.
Since Heimerdinger originally developed this device in Ionia, the two realms merged and the barrier was weak, so it did not require much energy consumption.
Switching to Piltover, after his adjustments, this two-part device requires 5 energy crystals.
Three of them are used on the base on the ground, and the other two are installed in the mechanical armor worn on the body.
After more than three hours of testing and debugging in all aspects, Heimerdinger was completely sure that the device was exactly as he remembered it.
Originally having “digital thinking”, Li Lin already knew that there was nothing wrong with this set of equipment.
But Heimerdinger has always believed that science requires rigor, and Caitlin and Victor were not reassured by this, so he chose to remain silent.
When everything was ready, Victor stared at the device on the workbench with a worried look, and then looked up at Li Lin.
“Are you sure you want to do this? I think… we should have other ways.”
“Yes, yes, I don’t think it is necessary to use such extreme measures.” Skye nodded in agreement.
“Nightmares cannot come to the material realm. If you want to solve it, you can only start from the source, which is the spiritual realm.”
Li Lin shook his head and looked at Valentina, who was sitting next to Caitlin drowsily, “Besides, Professor Zindero’s time is running out.”
His eyes met Caitlin’s, and the depths of her beautiful sapphire blue eyes were filled with tension and worry, “Li Lin…”
Li Lin walked slowly to her side, put his armored hand on her shoulder and half-bent down, his eyes were level with hers.
The other hand scraped her nose, and then gently pinched her delicate face.
“Don’t you still believe me?” Li Lin had a gentle smile on his face and tried to speak in a calm tone.
“I……”
Caitlin bit her lower lip and stared closely into Li Lin’s brown-black eyes.
Even if she could see a hint of cowardice in it, she would not allow Li Lin to take this risk.
It’s a pity that Li Lin is determined to defeat Nocturne this time, and Caitlin only sees his confidence and determination.
In the end, she was defeated.
“Day by day, you really do something that worries me.” Caitlin sniffed twice, her eyes slightly red, “Can you really guarantee that you can come back safely?”
“I think I’d better not set up a flag…”
“Flag…what is it?”
“It’s nothing, it’s just a saying from my hometown.” Li Lin smiled hoarsely, “Don’t be too sure before doing something, otherwise the result will be exactly the opposite of what you expected.”
“I also understand Ionian, why haven’t I heard of this slang?”
“Ionia is so big, and the dialects in different places are quite different. Even I may not understand them. How can you understand everything?”
Li Lin gently pinched the tip of Caitlin’s nose, causing her to pout slightly to express her dissatisfaction.
Then, he glanced at Valentina beside him, who could barely keep her eyes open, and whispered to Caitlin: “Okay, Valentina is about to fall asleep. If she starts to dream, it will be too late.”
When he stood upright again, Caitlin stood up and took a step forward.
A faint and elegant fragrance of violet penetrated the tip of his nose. Before Li Lin could react, Caitlin’s right hand had already reached the back of his head, forcing him to lower his head.
At the same time, she stood on tiptoes, closed her eyes and leaned towards his face.
Along with a burst of warmth and moisture, Li Lin’s eyes widened slightly. He didn’t expect Caitlin to be so proactive, direct, and eager.
However, Li Lin knew that this was her way of expressing her concern for herself and her hope that he would return safely.
After being stunned for a second or two, he also started to fight back fiercely in response to Caitlin.
Heimerdinger on the other side stared at the young couple with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Victor looked a little embarrassed and looked away as if he hadn’t seen anything.
Skye’s cheeks showed a slight blush, and she glanced at Victor beside her from time to time, and then cast envious eyes at Li Lin and Caitlin.
There was a long silence in the air.
When Caitlin’s face was like a ripe red apple, and she was slightly out of breath, Li Lin let her go and looked at her beautiful eyes that were sparkling with mist.
“wait me back.”
…
…
With the guidance of Heimerdinger and the help of Victor and Skye, Li Lin put on the half-body armor of the “Field Shuttle” and then stood on the base part on the ground.
Caitlin, Victor, Heimerdinger and Skye all put on goggles and stared intently at Li Lin who had closed his mask.
“Are you ready, kid?” Heimerdinger asked.
Li Lin nodded, “Ready.”
While Victor was adjusting the parameters of the fast instrument, his right hand finally came to rest next to a red button on the console.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Li Lin, “The energy of the crystal will pass through the device on your body, causing your body to enter a resonance state. It may cause some pain…”
“I understand, start charging.”
Victor glanced at Caitlin, who was standing in front and closest to Li Lin.
Seeing that she didn’t express anything, he sighed and was angry in his heart, “Okay, countdown 3, 2, 1…”
As his words faded, he pressed the button on the console without hesitation.
In an instant, a dazzling blue-white light burst out in front of their eyes, making the whole room seem to have returned to daylight. Even with the protection of goggles, they still felt that they could not open their eyes.
An inexplicable strong wind swept across, all kinds of documents and papers were flying in the sky, and everyone’s hair and clothes were floating in the air.
At this moment, Heimerdinger suddenly reacted and shouted loudly with a sharp voice: “Oh! I almost forgot something else!”
“What?!”
Caitlin, Victor and Skye were shocked at the same time.
But at this time, Li Lin had been completely engulfed by the energy light, and disappeared from the laboratory in just two seconds.
Heimerdinger’s eyes were dull for a moment, “I forgot to tell him… teleportation may cause physiological reactions in the human body. To put it simply, he may have symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, nausea, and vomiting at first.
“Well~~Of course, the duration of these symptoms depends on the individual’s constitution…”
Even when facing Heimerdinger, Caitlin’s temper was not aroused when she heard what he said. She couldn’t help but screamed: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”
