Chapter 6: Jinx is the best
On the way back to the dark alley, Lin Wen lowered his head and thought about something.
He was not threatening Silko, but telling him a fact.
Vander and Hilco, two like-minded people who eventually parted ways, did so because they had differences in their ideas.
Lin Wen had followed Vandall for several years and had seen through Vandall's thoughts. He advocated the concept of peace and tried to draw a line between himself and Upper City, but how could Zaun not rely on Piltover to survive? Although most Zauns verbally hated Piltover, they envied the lives of Piltover people, and Zaun people had to rely on Piltover to survive.
The trade that is restricted in Piltover is uncontrolled in Zaun. Therefore, Piltover has driven the black market in Zaun. Interestingly, is this the case of the rich driving the poor? The
reason why Piltover is so rich is that its location is very special. It is located at the intersection of Valoran and Shurima. The trade bonus brought by its geographical location is definitely much higher than that of the island Bilgewater. In such a geographical environment, even a pig will fly high.
The Piltovers were obviously not pigs, they were very smart. Under their governance, Piltover soon became the most developed place in trade and technology on the entire continent, and this is how the City of Evolution came to be.
Hillkobe's Vandal, it was obvious that he saw the gap between Piltover and Zaun very clearly.
Hilco believed that as time went by, the gap between Piltover and Zaun would only get bigger and bigger, and Lin Wen agreed with this point because he was the one who knew this best.
He knew better than anyone that Jayce would develop Hextech technology in the near future. When this genius truly brought "magic" into technology, Zaun would no longer be in the eyes of the Piltovers.
Non-militarized weapons can easily kill sewer rats. This is probably the source of the superior self-confidence of the people in the upper city.
So from some perspectives, Lin Wen doesn't want Hilco to jump too much now.
Although the possibility is very small, if Hilco really entered Camille's field of vision because of the faint light, it is very likely that his head would appear on the streets of Zaun the next day. There is no doubt about this. As an outstanding spy, Camille Philos has this ability.
And Lin Wen remembered very clearly that she was the controller behind Piltover. No, according to the timeline, her brother should still be alive now, right? She remembered that she waited until Victor had a gloriously evolved cultist before she personally judged her own brother.
Judging from the current time, she should be around 70 years old now?
But even so, she is only stronger than Lin Wen now, not weaker than Lin Wen. Although she got a complete hero card and her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, Lin Wen does not think he can beat her.
After all, Camille Ferros, the most powerful spy in the entire Piltover and the most wrong member of the Ferros family, is no longer a human being.
Human? Can a person whose heart has become a machine still be considered a human?
In the list that Lin Wen made in his head, Camille, this little old lady, is an upper-middle class existence among humans, and her ranking in T5 is definitely in the top ranks. Moreover, with the Hextech technology developed by Jace in the future and used by the military on Camille, she may become a "magic machine" with the possibility of reaching T4 in the future.
The reason why Lin Wen kept a low profile in the past few years was that she was afraid that she would catch the attention of the old lady too early. After all, when it comes to assassination, no one in the entire Piltover can compare to her. As the strongest spy, her intelligence and martial arts are the highest in Piltover.
In short, Camille must not be messed with. You must know that what she uses is the Hextech core, not those Hextech crystals that can be imitated. The crystal heart on Camille's body is made of a core of the Shellman. After the death of the producer Hakim and the disappearance of the blueprint of the Hextech core, the crystal on Camille's body may be the only Hextech heart in the world.
Yes, if you can avoid provoking her, don't provoke her.
————————
When Lin Wen returned to the Fugen Tavern and pushed open the door of the Tavern, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
In the tavern in front of them, a group of Vandel's men, a bunch of ferocious-looking men and women with various tattoos on their bodies and faces, all stood up.
Others picked up weapons and turned their backs to the tavern door, looking towards the bar.
Lin Wen is not tall, he is just over 1.6 meters tall. After all, this body is only fifteen years old now, and the nutrition has not been able to keep up during the growth stage. Therefore, Lin Wen, who can't see the situation, can only pat the big guy in front of him.
The other person turned around, his big face covered with fat was full of dissatisfaction, but when he saw that the person who took the photo of him was Lin Wen, his expression changed and he nodded gently at Lin Wen.
"Gray, let me see what's going on."
The big guy named Gray shook his head, stretched out his hand to stop Lin Wen who was about to go in, looked at Lin Wen and said, "Lin Wen, you'd better not go in. The police are coming."
As Vandel's subordinate, he certainly knew the reason why the law enforcer came to the bottom city.
The Piltover guys will come down to Zaun, and there is only one thing they will do, which is -
Arresting people
Piltover and Zaun, two cities, sister cities adjacent to each other, use the policy of non-interference, but they say non-interference, but the Piltover law enforcement officers do not interfere after going to the lower city?
Ha, most of the shady transactions in the lower city are done by the Piltovers from the upper city.
"Wei and the others are at your place now. It's not a good idea for you to go in."
Although the Grays are tall and strong, they are very thoughtful. Since Vandel can allow the other party to search extensively with an indifferent expression on his face, it means that Wei is not in the Fulgrim Tavern now, and the greater possibility is that she is protected by the man in front of her.
The second-in-command of the Fulgrim Tavern - the Gutter Lawman - Linwen Lorant.
Therefore, if Lin Wen talked to the law enforcement officer, it would only make things more troublesome.
"Are they here already?"
Lin Wen frowned.
This was too fast.
From the time he picked up Wei to the time he went to Hilco, only four hours had passed, and now, the law enforcement officer had already arrived at the bottom city.
Even if he took the elevator, the journey would take at least one or two hours, right? Add to that the search warrant and other factors.
Lin Wen felt a headache again.
What on earth did Wei and the others
do to make the law enforcement officers come out to arrest people on the same day?
"I'm not going in. I'm just going to take a look."
Gray nodded, and his tall and strong body moved aside. He also patted the person in front of him.
When the man turned around and looked at Gray in confusion, Gray pointed his thumb back, and then he saw Lin Wen smiling and waving at him.
Soon, people spontaneously made way in front of Lin Wen. He sat at a table and looked at the half bottle of Sargento yeast wine left. Lin Wen didn't mind this kind of bar, after all, the alcohol content was very low.
So Lin Wen poured the wine into a clean small cup and drank it in small sips.
This wine comes from a port city in Shurima called Nashrameh. The ingredients used to make it are very simple. It uses local sand roots from Shurima and ferments them with alcohol. It tastes a bit sour, but the texture is very good, and it is very suitable for the little kids in Zaun.
Well, it feels a bit like chewing bread?
Lin Wen tasted the wine, looked at the bar, and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside.
His five senses have long surpassed those of ordinary people.
"Marcus, that's enough!"
Lin Wen saw a female law enforcement officer with brown curly hair reaching out and holding down a young man.
"You have crossed the line in this matter with Vander. Hand him over to me." The woman with brown curly hair was very tall, but in front of Vander, she was like a child.
Fandel shook his head. "Grayson, they're not here."
"This is not a small matter. Vander, hand the people over to me, or I won't bring just a few people next time." Grayson looked around and said, "You don't want the law enforcement officers to search the alley."
"Grayson, the person is really not here with me. I have no one to hand over to you."
"Asshole, do you think we weren't prepared before we came?! We got the news, they are..." The young man who was held down by Grayson raised his hand and pointed at Vander angrily.
As he yelled at Fandel, everyone in the tavern took a step forward, and one of the sturdy men snorted heavily.
This made all the law enforcement officers, including Marcus, nervous, except Grayson.
One of them even pulled out a gun.
"go back."
Fandel shook his head at them.
Grayson also turned around and put down his gun, then turned to look at Vander and said, "Can I have a moment to talk?"
Vander wanted to shake his head, but looking into Grayson's eyes, he nodded, walked out of the bar, walked to the basement on the side, and said to Grayson, "Come on, this way."
Grayson followed Fandel to the basement, grabbed Marcus, and solemnly warned him: "Don't cause me trouble, this is not Piltover."
"But!"
"No buts, Marcus, just listen to me." Grayson patted his shoulder and Marcus fell silent.
As Vander and Grayson walked into the basement, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
A group of gangsters from the alley looked at the four law enforcement officers fiercely.
Although Marcus was a little nervous, he was not afraid. He took out his baton and smashed it hard on a table, overturning it and splashing the wine. Marcus looked at them angrily, waving the baton and shouting loudly: "What are you looking at? You bunch of dirty and smelly sewer rats!"
"Come up if you're brave enough. I just want to arrest a few people to improve my performance!"
Marcus said as he strode forward, trying to push through the crowd. On both sides, a short, thin man with a crew cut and a nose stud took a step forward, but just as he was about to walk towards Marcus, he was stopped by his companion.
"No." His companion shook his head at him.
If the law enforcement officer was beaten, the person involved would definitely be taken to the prison in the upper city for reform. If the law enforcement officer was killed, the entire Black Alley would not have an easy time.
This is also the source of Marcus' confidence, because behind him is a powerful city-state, which is much more powerful than Zaun.
The people of Piltover will not tolerate resistance from the people of Zaun, never.
The bridge attack a few years ago is a good example.
Marcus pushed a few people away, and then he saw a young man sitting and drinking.
Marcus' eyes lit up when he saw the clean-cut boy with no tattoos, nose studs or earrings, no strange clothes, but with smooth black hair.
The young man in front of me is definitely not a gangster. Gangsters from Zaun would never dress like this.
Then he is the object for him to establish his authority.
Marcus walked towards him and smashed the baton hard in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious? Lord Marshal, I am drinking."
"Is it time to drink now? The law enforcers are searching, but you are drinking in front of me. Do you look down on the law enforcers of Piltover?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Disrespecting the law enforcers is wrong!"
"But I was just drinking."
There was a burst of laughter from all around, which made Marcus embarrassed. He turned around and shouted angrily: "What are you laughing at? Who is laughing?!"
No one answered him.
Marcus leaned down again, stared into the boy's pair of shiny black eyes, and said coldly: "How about you go drink somewhere else? I'll treat you?"
He stopped talking.
But Marcus didn't see any panic in him.
This was not the result Marcus wanted.
The young man from Boreal... You know, even the vicious Zaun gangs are afraid of the law enforcers.
Not to mention ordinary Zaun teenagers.
What he wanted was his panic, his fear.
"Marcus, come back."
A law enforcement officer who was traveling with them sensed something was wrong around them.
The people of Zaun are always united when facing the people of Piltover, but when this young man was bullied, no one stood up for him. Instead, this group of gangsters seemed to be watching a good show, and the law enforcement officer even saw smiles on several of them.
This is very abnormal.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"What?"
Faced with his teammates' obstruction, Marcus became even angrier. He turned around and reached out to grab him. He wanted to capture this Zaun man to show his authority as a law enforcer.
"well"
A soft sigh was followed by a cry of pain, and Marcus' hand was opened as soon as he reached out, and it quickly became red and swollen.
"Damn it, you dare to resist me?!" Marcus bent down, covering his swollen wrist, and looked up at him.
He stood up, very confused: "I didn't do anything, I was just drinking, why did you arrest me?"
"Lin Wen, punch him in the face!"
"Yes, punch him!"
Someone nearby shouted.
The other three law enforcement officers also took steps to rush to Marcus to protect him, but they failed.
Because the crowd that had previously separated on their own initiative gathered together.
They actually stood in front of them.
Gray, whose figure was no less than Vander's, stood in the front. He lowered his head, and with a big face full of fat and a pair of eyes like copper bells, he was silently looking at the law enforcement officer in front of him.
His face was getting closer and closer, and through the breathing mask that filtered out the poison gas, Gray saw the other person's eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes filled with fear.
Law enforcement officer, in fear.
Will they be afraid too?
They were in Dicheng. Will they be afraid too?
Just because we have more people?
But, don't you have guns? You obviously have such good weapons.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! What are you doing? Do you want to resist the law?!" He raised the gun and pointed it at Gray's face.
Resist the law? Why can the law of the upper city be applied to the lower city?
Peaceful coexistence? Separate management?
Is this what the people of the Upper City mean by peace? Is this what they call management by drawing clear boundaries?
Why must Zaun obey Piltover's orders? Why must Zaun be governed by Piltover? Why can't Zaun be independent?
Zaun is Zaun, and Piltover is Piltover.
Why?
Gray suddenly became angry.
He suddenly understood why some people were beginning to be dissatisfied with Vander.
At the same time, he also understood why Fandel always sighed alone.
"Shoot if you dare." Gray pointed at his chest. On his open chest, he grabbed the law enforcement officer's machine gun and pointed it at the disc tattoo on his chest, aiming at his heart. He looked loudly at the trembling law enforcement officer in front of him, and his previously calm face changed. He said ferociously: "Let's see how many people you can kill."
"You guys!"
"I don't understand. Your captain clearly told you to be quiet, but why didn't you listen to her?"
In front, the young man stood up and looked down at Marcus. "Obviously, you just need to wait for her to come back. We don't want to provoke you, but can you please not provoke us?"
Marcus pulled out the gun from his belt and pointed it at him with gritted teeth.
"No, Marcus!"
A law enforcement officer who was surrounded by Zaun people saw this scene and hurriedly spoke up to stop Marcus.
He knew him. He had excellent performance in the police force and came from a middle-class family. He might be Grayson's successor and become the new sheriff of Piltover in the future, but he had a very bad temper and could not stand this kind of humiliation.
Marcus really knows how to shoot!
"Bang.
With a loud bang and sparks flying, Marcus looked ahead with anxiety and excitement.
But the scene he expected did not appear.
The gangsters in the tavern were not angry either.
The three law enforcement officers also looked ahead stupidly.
The young man tilted his head slightly, and his previously smiling face turned pale. On the wall behind him, there was iron sheet that was pierced by the Xia bullet.
"It is precisely because of people like you that the relationship between Zaun and Piltover is getting worse and worse."
Lin Wen lowered his head and looked at him calmly.
Although he looked calm on the surface, Lin Wen felt angry inside.
The fire burned brighter and brighter.
Lin Wen felt like he had to get something off his chest.
Yes, this is the injustice that most Zaun people will encounter when facing the Law Enforcers.
Sometimes, even the Zaun people who passed by them would be held down and searched. If they resisted, they would be taken to the alley and beaten.
Sometimes, Zaun people would be blackmailed by them, pressed against the wall and their valuables would be robbed. They would argue that because you are Zaun, you must have stolen the items, and they called this justice.
Sometimes.
Sometimes.
But Lin Wen never expected that they would actually shoot at a teenager.
A person who obviously did nothing but drink.
Why are these injustices happening?
Lin Wen found that he hated Piltover more and more. This aversion to Piltover started after Lin Wen integrated into Zaun, and now it is even more intense.
He hurt many Zaun people, but never hurt a Piltover person.
But today, Lin Wen suddenly wanted to know what the consequences would be if he hurt, or even killed, a Piltover citizen.
Qing Gangying?
Lin Wen was so angry that he took out the unknown rune fragment. Although he didn't know what kind of rune it was, as long as it was a rune fragment, it must have extremely strong power.
The reason why he didn't study it carefully was because Lin Wen was afraid that he would offend a ruthless purple bald man after taking it out.
Moreover, Hextech technology has not appeared yet, and the legs of the Blue Steel Shadow may not be blades. Therefore, even if he cannot defeat him, Lin Wen is not unable to resist.
Besides, the death of just one law enforcer might not be the target of the attack by the Yasuo. The reason why the perverted murderer Jhin was targeted by the Yasuo was that he killed many law enforcers but was not caught for a long time. Jhin caused panic in Piltover, so the Yasuo was forced to come forward to capture Jhin.
Now that a law enforcement officer has died, will Shen Gangying come forward?
Unconsciously, Lin Wen's hand was around Marcus' neck.
Marcus' face first turned red, and then slowly turned white.
The hands that were beating Lin Wen's arms became weaker and weaker, and his legs slowly became stiff.
"That's enough!"
Until a big hand pressed on Lin Wen's hand.
Vander's big face appeared and he shook his head at Lin Wen.
There was helplessness, self-blame, and apology in his eyes.
I changed Marcos to Marcus. Does that affect your reading? If it does, I'll change it. I think Marcus is more pronounceable.
Then, in my opinion, this person is indeed the kind of person who can do the things I wrote about.
Grayson and Vander had clearly already talked to each other in private, but he still dared to bring people to the bar to smash it, confront Vander, and even said, "One day you will all die in my hands." It can be seen that he is indeed a fool.
A young man who acts for the "justice" in his heart.
And this person is really strange. On the one hand, he respects Grayson, but on the other hand, after facing Hilco who killed his master and boss, he was able to cooperate with the other party.
The fact that he released Wei secretly without telling Hilco showed that he had a conscience, and he probably didn't want these things to happen.
So this person is really complicated.
My favorite character right now is Wei (Wei in Twin Cities is so charming), followed by Silk (he is also really charming), and then Fandel and the policewoman.
One is a man who wants to protect everything and chooses to compromise, and the other is a noble from High City who is willing to abandon his prejudices and embrace the people of Piltover (the cake is so perfect!)
Of course, Baobao is the best in the world, but the essence of Jinx is bad.
