CHAPTER 209 - Judgment

Outside the Osweld Asylum.

Li Lin intentionally set the audio received by his battle armor to "hands-free" mode, allowing everyone in the room to hear the words of these two insane "doctors".

As the elevator doors closed, the voices of the laughing Asivoss and Leedon gradually faded beyond the capture range of the drone.

Vander, Sevika, and Cade looked at each other, all displaying expressions of anger.

Cade abruptly rose from his chair, pulling out the baton from his waist again. "Damn it, these bastards, I can't take it anymore!"

Even Caitlyn didn't stop him this time, opting for silence.

"No wonder there are no traces of charges that can be found on the surface. It turns out their main facilities are underground."

The buildings reported by Raymond Keane to the Piltover Enforcers did not include the underground parts; they were built secretly.

Vander clenched his fists, bones cracking. "Now, we have a reason to deal with these bastards!"

He walked to the door, giving Sevika and Cade a glance.

They brought a total of 100 people today, scattered around the asylum, temporarily led by Benso.

However, now that the other party is holding thermal weapons, a direct charge is definitely not the way.

Li Lin temporarily cut off the network with the drone and switched it to free mode to find the entrance to the basement.

Then, he turned back and stopped Vander, who had already walked out of the door. "Wait!"

The three of them stopped simultaneously, turning back in confusion.

"In my Dawn Light, there are exactly five sets of Foldable power armor. I'll leave one for Cait, and you guys can wear the remaining three..."

"I estimate that Benso's physique won't be able to wear it. As for the last set, Vander, you find a reliable thug for him."

"Since the other party has guns, don't let anyone else in to avoid unnecessary casualties. Just let them stay nearby, don't let anyone escape."

Vander paused for two seconds, then smiled and sighed, "Compared to six months ago, you've matured a lot."

...

...

The plan proceeded in an orderly manner.

Li Lin recalled the Dawn Light hidden in a corner of a building, handing over four sets of briefcases to Vander and the others, and taught them how to use them.

Due to poor visibility and the inability to find a suitable long-range sniper support position, Caitlyn also wanted to go into the asylum. Therefore, she also put on powered armor.

Kai'Sa, on the other hand, only relied on skin armor and living weapons.

According to the combat power displayed by the system, except for Li Lin, Kai'Sa alone could solo the Osweld Asylum, and even with Vander's manpower added, it wouldn't be enough for her to fight with one hand.

Not only that, Li Lin, who was not too reassured, sent a message instruction to the remaining ten storm drones waiting in Kiramman's workshop, asking them to come for fire support, just in case.

After a few minutes, Vander, Sevika, Cade, and another burly man, all wearing powered armor, met with Li Lin, Caitlyn, and Kai'Sa.

Caitlyn borrowed a lackey from Vander and asked him to find a public phone at random to contact Piltover's defense, and transferred the call to Sheriff Grayson's office in the name of Miss Kiramman.

With the words of the two mad doctors and the knowledge that there are underground facilities in this asylum, law enforcement officers will definitely have new gains.

In front of everyone, Benso held an iron rod in his hand, staring enviously at Vander and the others, "Hey, if I were ten years younger, I could charge in with you guys wearing this armor."

"You old bastard, still have the nerve to say." Vander laughed and scolded, "I used to ask you to lose weight every day, but you didn't listen. You kept smoking and drinking, and you loved to eat fatty meat and butter all day long. You look like a starving ghost. If you're not fat, who is?"

"After suffering for so many years, now that life is getting better, shouldn't you enjoy it?" Benso retorted, but his embarrassed expression betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing me here, the main thing is important." Vander suppressed his smile, "Are all the brothers arranged properly?"

Benso raised his chin proudly, patting his chest, "You're still not at ease with me?"

"Okay, then. Make sure not to let go of any of Raymond Keane's men, especially him and Osweld."

"Understood," Benso nodded heavily. "If they really come out and I catch them, can I beat them up first? I've been itching to get my hands on those two brats for a while!"

Vander's mouth twitched, sighing in resignation. "Do as you wish..."

Then, he glanced at Li Lin, along with Sevika and Cade, raising his arm. The two fists collided heavily, sparks of metal friction flying.

"Let's capture Raymond Keane and Osweld first, and anyone else we can, if possible," Li Lin reiterated the plan.

They repeated the plan once more, with Vander leading Sevika and Cade to break in from the main entrance on the east side, while Li Lin, accompanied by Caitlyn and Kai'Sa, scaled the back wall from the west.

Li Lin's scouting drone had already found the entrance to the underground. To prevent them from destroying evidence, their main task was to directly infiltrate and seize control underground.

Just after climbing over the wall, two guards on patrol noticed something was amiss. However, before they could draw their guns, they were donned with Void helmets by Kai'Sa, who had preemptively sensed their movements, and swiftly incapacitated.

"Well done!" Li Lin praised.

At that moment, noisy commotion erupted from the east side of the asylum, with gunshots and shouts echoing through the air.

Li Lin's group wasted no time and headed straight for the closest locked iron gate.

Using the "High-Energy Death Ray" on his arm, Li Lin melted the lock, allowing them to enter a corridor on the side of the first floor lobby.

Since most of the guards and thugs were drawn to Vander's side, the lobby was deserted except for a few nervous medical personnel seeking refuge.

Kai'Sa, who had sensed someone's presence in advance, swiftly activated her armor into "Overload" mode and used "Killer Instict" twice. In less than two seconds, she took down five medical staff members. Two others who noticed the anomaly and attempted to escape through the windows were stunned by Caitlyn's "Shock Grenade."

"Forget about them. They won't wake up for a while. Let's head downstairs first," Li Lin said, glancing casually with his "Data Mind" and then calling back Kai'Sa.

The first floor of the asylum consisted mainly of a reception hall and offices for outpatient physicians, with relatively simple terrain.

After wandering around the long and dull corridor for a while, they finally arrived at the elevator next to the staircase.

There was no button on the elevator to go to the negative first floor. Li Lin used his "Data Mind" to survey the area and found a clue.

The button to go to the underground floor was hidden in a very inconspicuous corner of the metal wall, requiring a key to unlock.

Li Lin tore open the seal with his bare hands, effortlessly. As the elevator descended with a shudder, emitting a creaking and eerie noise, Li Lin shielded Kai'Sa behind him and instructed Caitlyn to activate the "Adaptive Shield" together.

He was worried that there might be guards armed with kinetic bullets downstairs, who would open fire at the sight of strangers.

Although kinetic bullets caused limited damage to Kai'Sa due to her skin armor, the pain would not be reduced in the slightest.

In less than 30 seconds, the elevator finally came to a stop, and copious steam sprayed from both sides of the opening metal lattice gate, slowly swinging open.

Contrary to their expectations, there was no gunfire from the guards waiting downstairs. Instead, two familiar figures who seemed to have been waiting for a long time immediately stepped forward.

"Hey, what's happening up there... huh?" spoke the bald man Ashiwos, with Leeton beside him.

They were dressed in dark green, highly Zaun-styled hazmat suits, with masks connected to multiple breathing tubes hanging around their necks.

Seeing the three figures, all wearing Hextech armor, Ashiwos was immediately flustered. "Who are you?!"

"We are the judges sent by the heavens to punish you bunch of scoundrels!" Li Lin activated "Blink," moving forward, and with two punches, knocked them both down. "It's judgment day!"
