Chapter 115: It’s not heartless, it’s broken
In the evening in Zu'an, Wei and Isa sat down at the dining table with the food brought from the tavern.
Jinx's door was still closed. She returned to the room after taking a shower in the afternoon and locked Vi out again.
Wei didn't complain about this, because it was good enough for Jinx to come out.
Picking up a piece of meat and handing it to Isa, Wei ate the food with big mouthfuls to replenish the missing energy in her body. Isha glanced at Wei, then lowered her head and ate in silence.
Seeing this, Wei lowered her eyes. In the past, when she served Isa with food, Isa would smile sweetly at her.
But now, she doesn't.
It has been a week since Li Ke left. During this week, many things have changed in Zuan. A little further away, let’s talk about a statue that is now being built in the square. It is a statue of Li Ke, more than ten meters high. But now only a platform has been built, and the Zaun people from each community come to the river every night, light the boat lanterns they made by themselves, and pray for their leader Li Ke.
Closer to home, there is no one around Wei who is not sad about Li Ke's departure.
Marson hasn't gone to work for a week, and Manzu drinks in the pub every day. Last time, that boy Willa was caught by Wei taking Shimmer, so Wei gave him a good beating and was forced to lock him in a small dark room. Reflect.
Isa no longer smiles, Ike is taciturn, and Victor is more attentive to researching technology that benefits Zaun, Fandel, and Silko.
Also, Jinke.
Just as she was thinking about it, Vi heard the sound of the door opening and immediately turned around. Vi saw Jinx going out.
Wearing a beautiful long skirt, new shoes, a necklace around her snow-white neck, and a blue coat on top of the skirt, with her hair spread around her feet, Jinx walked straight towards Wei and Isa.
"Jinx" Vi whispered.
Jinx looked at her, smiled, and raised her voice: "What are you doing, sister? I'm hungry and want to go out to eat, can't I?"
"Of course, of course!" Wei said quickly.
Isa on the side also quickly got off her stool and ran to get the dishes and chopsticks for Jinx.
Putting the dishes and chopsticks on the table, she stared at Jinx's thin face and pursed her lips.
Jinx reached out to touch Isa's head, rubbed it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Isa."
"Wow——"
An indistinct sound was squeezed out of her throat, and Izawa burst into tears. She hugged Jinx's legs with both hands, buried her head in Jinx's thigh, and cried out in pain.
Jinx bent down, hugged Isa's head, smiled and whispered: "It's okay, Isa. Just cry, it's fine. It's my fault. I ignore your feelings these days, but I won't do it anymore." .”
Vi looked at Jinx quietly.
"Don't look at me, eat. I have to go to work after eating." Jinx glanced at Wei and said softly.
Wei was stunned and said: "Work?"
"Yes, rebuild Zaun, and create new weapons." Jinx picked up Isa and put her on a stool, then sat down and picked up the chopsticks.
She really had no appetite, but she still endured the nausea and discomfort and stuffed the food into her stomach one bite at a time.
"Also, sister, I need your help with something later." Jinx said to Wei while chewing food.
Wei nodded vigorously and said loudly: "You tell me, I will do whatever you say."
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a small matter." Jinx said with a smile.
This is the fourth time she has laughed since she came out. The width of her smile has not changed at all. She smiles very happily, but also very fake.
After finishing the meal, Isa took the initiative to clear the table, and Wei came to her room with Jinx and a pair of scissors with a complicated look on her face.
The lights were turned on in the room. There were still a lot of broken glass on the ground, but they were piled in the corner. On the bed, there was a rag doll with black hair. Wei could tell who it was at a glance.
Jinx sat in front of the makeup mirror and looked at Wei: "Come on, sister."
"Do you really want to cut it off?" Wei said unbearably while holding the scissors and looking at Jinx's hair.
"Cut it." Jinx said, grabbing her hair directly and handing it to Wei.
Vi took a deep breath, picked up the scissors, and cut off Jinx's hair.
"Kacha."
"Click,"
"Click."
With a sound, Jinx closed her eyes and let Vi grab her hair.
When she opened her eyes again, Jinx looked at herself in the mirror.
The length of her hair only reached the back of her head, and the bangs on her forehead were only at the height of her eyes. Jinx swept her hair with her hand and felt refreshed.
"Long hair is not convenient for work. Hair like this is very convenient and looks good. Thank you." Jinx turned around, took off the hair tie from her wrist, and tied up her hair. Her hair was not long, and she could just grab it with one hand and tie it into a short ponytail. She smiled at Wei.
"." Wei said nothing, she really didn't know what to say now.
It seems that Jinx has changed for the better, but Wei knows clearly that Jinx has not changed for the better at all!
In the afternoon, Jinx went to the parliament building in Zaun with her new look. Hilko was shocked when she saw her like this, but Jinx just smiled and asked Hilko to give her a group of people. , she wants to research weapons for Zaun.
Hilko did not refuse because he did not dare to refuse the current Jinx's request.
With this group of people, Jinx created a technology team, and Senator Heimerdinger served as the team's mentor, helping Jinx research new weapons.
Li Ke's death made Heimerdinger change.
If Hex Weapons develops a powerful weapon, will Li Ke not have to die when facing that monster?
The professor no longer talks about peace and refuses to use technology to create weapons, but chooses to help Jinx, because Heimerdinger discovered that the people of the two cities can do without weapons, but we really cannot do without weapons!
In the face of powerful existences, the current technology of the two cities is like a joke.
This also gave Heimerdinger himself an idea, a powerful creature assembled with Hex technology, a weapon that could defeat the Darklings and protect the future of Piltover and Zaun.
Time flies, and with the help of Piltover, Zaun quickly rebuilt, Lenata's policies were implemented, and Zaun's economy experienced unprecedented improvement.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The seventh generation air purification device has also completely changed the environment of Zaun. This generation of air purification device will not be updated in a short time because it has achieved the three points of low noise, low energy consumption and high efficiency. .
Despite this, Zaun is still very dark, eerie, and humid, but in terms of air quality, Zaun is now no different from Piltover.
This year's winter has passed and spring has arrived.
At the end of March in Zaun, a huge statue appeared in Digou's Hope Community. The statue was about fifteen meters high and three meters wide. It was a smiling young man wearing a blue cat-eared hat on his head. On the left hand raised to touch the chin, there is a children's style watch on the wrist.
He smiled gently and kindly, looking directly in front of Zu An.
There are three statues like this in the ditch, two in the dance corridor, and one in the middle square.
Even Piltover has built one, right at the door of the University of Piltover, one of the places with the most traffic in Piltover.
What was written under that statue was - Tribute to the great hero of the two cities, the eternal king of Zaun - Li Ke.
In the Hope Community in the evening, Myrna saw a familiar blue color when she went out.
In two months, Jinx's hair has grown a lot, and the length of the bangs on her forehead has reached a little below her ears. She is smiling and greeting people in the Hope Community, with a bright smile on her face.
But she is still very thin, so thin that she seems to fall down if a gust of wind blows. She is completely incomparable with her previous body shape. Jinx was very thin before, but she has muscles and is very healthy. But now her skin is tightly attached to the bones, and her slender fingers are like dead branches with no flesh on them.
Myrna looked at Jinx's smile and listened to a few comments in her ears.
Lord Li Ke has been away from Zaun for three months and seven days. Many people in Zaun still remember him, but many people have gradually begun to forget about him because of the busy construction in Zaun and the rapid growth of the city. economy.
They will gradually forget about Master Li Ke, and Myrna feels that they cannot be blamed for this.
But... they say Jinx is heartless, which means she is the one who should be sad the most, but she smiles every day and works every day, as if she doesn't care about it at all.
Isn't she sad about Lord Li Ke's death?
Myrna really wanted to give those who said such things a slap in the face and tell them to stop talking nonsense.
Because she once asked Wei about Jinx's performance, and Wei told Marna seriously that Jinx was more sad than anyone else. Until now, some people have walked out, but she is still sad.
She's not heartless, she just has a smile.
"My sister is broken."
These are the exact words Vi said to Myrna.
And Myrna also believed Vi, because she could see Jinx every day, and her body, her mental state, and what she was doing every day told Myrna that Vi was right.
Just like now, after greeting everyone, Jinx gathered her skirt and sat quietly next to the statue.
She closed her eyes, held her hands back, tilted her head upward, and blew in the evening breeze.
She comes here every afternoon after get off work and doesn't go home until late at night.
"Li Ke, it's coming soon."
"After this weapon is ready, and after Zaun has its own defense power."
"I'll go find you."
"I miss you."
