Missing

The control room is not far from the hall of the auditorium.

After Lilin and Orianna fixed the ventilation system, they went straight to the hall where the guests gathered.

Along the way they did not encounter any other enemies.

As soon as she walked out of the side door leading to the backstage, Orianna saw her father in the crowd lying on the ground.

"Dad!"

Orianna was anxious for his safety, but she cautiously crossed the crowd of sleeping people, being careful not to bump or trip on anyone.

There lay a middle-aged man with long brown hair, glasses, and a blue and white inner shirt and a tuxedo. He looked like a gentle man with good temperament.

Corin Reveck, Piltover's well-known artificer who designed artificial limbs.

Using metal parts, he can make prosthetics beautifully and intricately, customers reported that it felt like their original limbs.

However, when most people mentioned the surname "Reveck", most associate it with Piltover University's King of Innovation, Corwin Reveck.

They were both born in the Reveck family, but Corin, who married a commoner and started a family, broke away from the family early and became independent from the clan.

Beads of tears rolled down from Orianna's red eyes, "Dad, wake up!"

She pushed her father, then gently patted his cheek a few times as she did before with the people she helped.

After a while, Corin's eyelids twitched a little, and his consciousness seemed to gradually return to his body.

It's just that after being sedated in a confined space full of the sleeping poison for so long, the toxins in his body cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Corin opened his eyes that were almost identical to Orianna's, but with deeper eyes, filled with daze and apathy.

"What is the matter…"

Orianna was about to cry, and quickly took off her own respirator and put it on her father's face.

Lilin didn't stop her, the ventilator will circulate the air well enough to the point that removing the mask pose no real problem now.

If doing this could soothe her a little bit, by all means. She's been through enough today. Thought Lilin.

Checking his panel, his mana had already dropped below half, and Lilin turned on the [HUD mode] again, took a quick glance at Orianna's father's status, and then turned off the skill.

[Status: poisoned (mild), drowsiness(recovering), paralysis(recovering)]

[Effect]

[1. Lose 6 health points per minute (non-lethal). ]

[2. Falling into a state of extreme sleepiness, reaction speed drops by 85%. ]

[3. Temporary loss of congnitive ability and motor function for 23 minutes. ]

The negative effect caused by each person's poisoning will vary according to the individual's physical health.

Like Orianna's father Corin, he's middle-aged, and he doesn't pay too much attention to physical fitness, his body's immunity is obviously not that strong.

Even if the panel shows that he is only slightly poisoned, for him, the effects and duration of various negative states are only a lot worse than other people.

"Don't worry, your father just inhaled too much the pollen. Just rest for half an hour." Lilin patted Orianna on the shoulder.

"...Really?" She sniffed, but her delicate face was full of tears, which was heart-wrenching.

"Of course." Lilin opened his arms, "You saw me recover fairly quickly, didn't you?"

Orianna lowered her eyes, bit her pale lip, and looked at her father with worried eyes.

"Sir, is it possible...to help him…"

Lilin readily agreed, "No problem, anything I can do to help."

"Thank you…" Orianna's face brightened, her eyes swept to the wall, "I just want him to be more comfortable..."

Lilin understood what she meant, helped to bring Corin aside, and put some chairs together for him to lie down.

"Hopefully that'll help him feel better. Pardon me, I still have some things to do." Lilin said to Orianna.

Seeing her nod, he began to scan the hall in order to find the people he knew.

Lilin first saw Heimerdinger, his unique appearance is hard to miss, then saw the figures of Caitlyn and Jayce lay not far from him.

He hurried to the other side of the hall.

"Caitlyn!"

"Jayce!"

Lilin used an acupuncture method that he knew of to wake the two up.

The two were younger and more athletic woke up one after the other, because of their good physical fitness, they didn't stay sluggish for too long like Corin.

With Lilin's support, Caitlyn and Jayce both sat up with slightly painful expressions, and held their head in pain.

"What happened...I don't think I drank that much" Jace's voice was a little coarse.

Beside him, Caitlyn, whose mind was gradually became more clear, saw Lilin who was supporting her, "...Lilin?"

"Are you two feeling better?"

Caitlyn felt as if her head had been concussed, still in excruciating pain.

"You're under the effects of a neural poison."

"Poison?"

Caitlyn raised her eyes slightly, gradually regaining her vision, saw the crowd of people lying on the ground.

Hearing Caitlyn's surprised tone, Jayce also looked around.

"... what happened to us?"

"We were attacked." Lilin took off the respirator and exhaled heavily. "The intruders put a sedative in the central air system, which spread the toxin throughout the auditorium and poisoned everyone."

Jayce gasped, "Who dares to be so crazy to attack the Progress Day Conference? The families take this very seriously..."

Compared to Jayce, Caitlyn was much calmer, "They're after something big."

"Caitlyn, have you heard of the code name 'C'?" Lilin took the opportunity to ask.

"C? Where did you hear that name?" Caitlyn bit her lip. "Did Vander tell you?"

"Vander? What does this have to do with him?"

After Lilin and Caitlyn were attacked last time, he spent most of the time in unconcious in the Benzo shop.

Vander's men tortured the kidnappers and told Caitlyn the name, she give the details to Cassandra and Cassandra said she would deal with the aftermath.

" This C is the mastermind behind the last kidnapping."

"Huh? Isn't the mastermind behind the kidnapping of you the head of the Odilenke family?"

Jayce scratched his head, not understanding what the two of them were saying, and Lilin and Caitlyn ignored him.

Sure enough, it's c... I was right in my theories.

Lilin's expression was rather complicated, "You should have told me about this before."

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. You think C is behind this attack?"

"I am positive." Lilin nodded confidently, "The Kiramman family is being watched, and your parents are the main targets. The reason they kidnapped you last time was to use this to blackmail your parents..."

Caitlyn's mouth opened in horror, a blank stare in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word.

What kind of insanity does this person have to openly attack a family who has a seat in the council of seven? On Progress Day as well?

Lilin's voice gradually faded, he stood up again, and began to look around in the auditorium again.

At this time, many people in the hall woke up one after another, and the whole room gradually became more noisy.

No one has developed immunity against the negative effect of the dream blossom that quickly. Standing, Lilin has a good view of all of the guests.

However, Lilin checked over and over again, and found the other five council members, but he couldn't find the Kiramman couple.

"Caitlyn, do you know where your parents were before you passed out?"

"Uh..." Caitlyn looked hesitant and pointed in the direction of Professor Heimerdinger.

However, beside the yellow-haired and white-bearded yordle, except for a young man with a cane in his hand who was thin and fraile, there was no sign of the Kiramman couple.

Lilin's sank, "They were taken away..."
