Choosing a Path to Escape

I was just advising Akali not to reveal our purpose so easily, but she still blurted it out. ♞👣 Claw ♔🐺

The woman was furious when she heard this, brandishing her scythe and trying to force us to stay. Akali, who had been wanting to fight back, drew her twin scythes and charged at her.

Project Warrior don't need to fight themselves; they can simply use moves from the database to replicate them, resulting in a wide variety of techniques.

Under the onslaught of various techniques, the woman was quickly overwhelmed, only able to parry and unable to retaliate.

However, this situation continued for quite some time, and Akali was unable to win. No matter how much of an advantage she had, she always faltered at crucial moments.

This isn't her problem; it just shows how powerful women are!

If the battle continues, they will likely both suffer heavy losses.

Regardless of their relationship, I absolutely cannot let anything happen to Akali.

Just as I was about to help, a Wind Blade swept in and separated the two of them.

A strong man stood beside the woman, holding a sharp sword and looking imposing. I recognized him at a glance as Wind Team!

Yasuo!

"Sorry Alanta, I'm late."

"It's not late, you've come at the right time. Is she our daughter?"

"Yes, but something unexpected has happened; she has no memory of what she used to have."

After saying that, Wind Team stepped forward, bypassing Akali and greeting me directly:

"All is well, Ezreal."

"Long time no see, Wind Team."

"Haha, don't call me Wind Team anymore. Camille sent you, didn't she?"

"Pretty much, but I came to you of my own accord."

"Have you upgraded your appearance?"

"Yes, Akali and I are already the seventh generation of Project Warrior."

Akali was surprised to hear our conversation. "What are you talking about? What did you call me?"

"I'm sorry to say this, but you are indeed Akali, perhaps the Xiao Li they're referring to."

"Are you going to betray your master too?"

"No, I will not betray my master until I have found out the truth."

"Then come with me and kill them!"

"I said I want to find out the truth of the matter. Are you willing to put up with it for a while?"

"What if I say no? Will you join them against me?"

"Maybe."

"Ha, then you'll probably regret it!"

Akali finished speaking and placed a Hextech Device on the ground. I've never seen anything like it before.

With a flash of light, Vi and Warwick appeared—it turned out to be a teleportation device!

"Master knew all along that you and Feng were very close, so he had a backup plan. He never expected you to actually betray him!"

"No need to waste words with them [Shadow], let's kill them together!"

Vi swung her fists and slammed them at me, Warwick went straight for the Wind Team, and Akali continued to fight Alanta, her mother.

I never expected things to turn out this way. Although this battle appears to be a three-on-three fight, Vi and Warwick's one-on-one abilities are superior to ours. This is very bad!

Even if the Kinkou Order arrives to provide support, the Master will surely have other ways to deal with it. It would be disastrous if the remaining Project Warrior were called over!

Wind Team knew that things were going badly for us, so they quickly called out, "Let's retreat!"

After saying that, he was the first to leave the battlefield, riding the Wind Force to escape into the distance, while Alanta simply disappeared!

I didn't have time to figure out where she went; I used my Spatial Jump ability to follow her.

Although we're not great at fighting, we're experts at escaping; Akali and the others have a hard time catching us.

It took me quite a while to catch up with the Wind Team at a cliff, where I discovered that Alanta was also there; they had deliberately stopped to wait for me.

"We can't escape like this. You have to remove the armor, Ezreal."

What would I look like if it were taken down?

"I don't know either. You might become the same person you were before, or you might die. You need to think it through."

"Go ahead and do it. Even if you don't tear it down, the owner won't forgive me."

"Stop calling her 'master'! Camille is a heartless butcher."

Seeing my determined expression, Wind Team manipulated its blades to begin removing my armor, while Alanta stood guard nearby.

His movements were very practiced; he only slowed down to ensure my safety, but he still managed to finish before the enemy arrived!

To be honest, the process of disassembling the armor was extremely painful; I felt like my body was about to fall apart.

After dismantling the armor, the Wind Team threw it off a cliff and then led us on a continued escape until we stopped in a dense forest.

"It should be safe here now, at least for the time being. How are you, Ezreal?"

"I felt nothing but pain; I neither died nor regained my memories."

"Uh... okay, it seems we're not quite the same."

"You mean you've regained your memories?"

"Yes, I remember everything..."

Wind Team slowly recounted his experiences to us; perhaps we should call him Yasuo now.

Yasuo is a disciple of the Wind Sword Sect and participated in the war when Noxus invaded Ionia.

Not long after, he suddenly encountered a strangely dressed person on the battlefield. Her legs were not those of an ordinary person, but a pair of blades!

This was his first encounter with Camille.

At the time, Camille was preparing to implement Project Source, so she was looking for strong individuals everywhere, and the battlefield was the easiest place to find targets.

She was pleased when she saw Yasuo, so she defeated him and transformed him into the first Project Warrior —Wind.

After becoming Project Warrior, Yasuo lost his memory and devoted himself to serving Camille.

He recruited many skilled players throughout Ionia, including his former friends Zed, Jhin, Yi, and his daughter Akali.

Later, friction arose Noxus, Demacia, Freljord, so he went there to find targets and gradually built a Project Squad.

In addition, Camille will also target people from Piltover and Zaun, such as Jinx, Vi, and Caitlyn, who are natives of those areas.

After all that talk, Yasuo didn't mention me at all.

"And what about me? Besides the name Ezreal, what else do you know?"

"To be honest, I have many doubts about you, because I see myself in your memories..."

According to Yasuo, I am an explorer born in Piltover who, for some unknown reason, sought out Camille.

She conducted a simple test on me, determined that I was qualified, and thus transformed me into Project Warrior.

Wei and Huo Su, who joined later, were both my friends. They were imprisoned and reformed while searching for me.

Before erasing my personal memories, Yasuo took a quick look and discovered something strange: subconsciously, I believed I was Yasuo!
