Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 112: Zuan will not fall
Everything returned to calm, even the girl's cries and screams gradually became hoarse and silent.

Fandel looked up at the sky, his lips moved, and he said loudly: "Goddess, Li Ke, Li Ke he!"

In the previous battle with Stellatu, Li Ke suddenly grabbed him and then threw him out. Was it because he was prepared for this?
But, if I really have to sacrifice myself, shouldn't I be the one to sacrifice?!
Why Li Ke?

He is still young and he has a future. Zaun needs him, the people of Zaun need him, and Jinx needs him even more!

How could he!
Fandel gritted his teeth, his fangs pierced his lower lip, and blood flowed out. He looked at Janna with bloodshot eyes, hoping that Janna could say that Li Ke was still alive.

The goddess is omnipotent, right?
Janna shook her head, her eyes full of complexity, and whispered, "I can no longer sense Li Ke's presence. His soul disappeared along with Stellatu."

"Li Ke sacrificed himself." Janna bowed her head.

The soul disappeared, which meant that Li Ke was no longer in this world.
The girl who was staring at Janna blankly heard these words, closed her eyes, tilted her body, and fell forward from under the flying board, falling headfirst towards the ground from a high altitude.

"Jinx!"

Hilco is different from others. Wei, Fandel, Ike, and the law enforcement officer in the ditch are all looking at Janna, wanting to hear news about Li Ke from Janna, and are waiting.

However, Hilco was always keeping an eye on Jinx.

Now, watching Jinx falling to the ground, Hilco shouted loudly.

Vi reacted quickly, stepping on the flying board with a grim face, and at the moment when Jinx was about to touch the ground, she suddenly pounced out from the flying board and hugged Jinx around the waist in the air. Then, Vi used both hands to protect Jinx in her arms, and rolled on the ground with her for several circles before releasing the force.

Ike and Hilco also rushed to Wei's side.

“Jinx, you—”

"She fainted." Wei interrupted Silko and looked up at him with complicated eyes.

In Vi's arms, Jinx lay motionless.

"." Hilco closed his eyes and mouth, and just waved his hand, asking the two sewer law enforcement officers to call Singed over.

At the beginning of the war with Stellar, Singed was taken away for protection by the Gutter Enforcer.

After a while, Singed came. He didn't know what happened until he heard from Ekko that Li Ke was dead. His pupils suddenly contracted, and then he nodded with a complicated expression.

"Vi, let me take a look." Singed sighed, walked to Vi's side, squatted down, reached out to lift Jinx's eyelids, and observed her pupils.

After examining Jinx, Singed stood up and looked at the nervous Hilco. He shook his head and said, "The greatest sorrow is a broken heart. She has a mental breakdown and is not injured. But this is the most troublesome thing because it is beyond the scope of my treatment."

"Unless she can come out of this by herself, there is nothing anyone can do."

A group of people surrounded Jinx. As night fell, Jinx woke up in Wei's arms. The first thing she said was -

"Where's Li Ke?"

No one answered Jinx, and Vi was avoiding Jinx's sight.

Seeing this, Jinx smiled, but it was an ugly smile.

There was no joy, no madness, and the neuroticism she had when she laughed in the past was gone. She just struggled to get up from Wei's arms, and then said nothing, and walked towards Zaan silently.

"Jinx"

Vandel called her, but when she ignored him, he walked straight to Jinx and blocked her. Then, Vandel took something out of his pocket.

That was what Vander had just discovered, something that Li Ke had stuffed into his pants when he threw him out.

The pocket of his huge pants was just big enough to hold the thing, and after taking it out, the lifeless Jinx suddenly pounced on Fandel and snatched the thing in his claws.

Then, she knelt on the ground, holding the blue hat with cat ears, stuffed the hat tightly into her arms, and buried her head on the ground.

Everyone looked at Jinx quietly. After she stood up, she didn't look at Fandel, but just hugged her hat tightly and walked towards Zaun again.

"Wei, follow her, but don't get too close. Make sure she's in your sight." Hilco stopped Fandel from following and said to Wei. His nails dug into his flesh, and Hilco closed his eyes.

This time, Wei did not refute or express any opinion in response to Hilco's orders. Instead, she nodded and jogged to catch up with Jinx.

After Vi and Jinx left, Silko sat on the ground and held his head.

"You can't fall down." Fandel walked up to him and said.

"I know, Vander, I just want to rest for a while. When I get up, I will take responsibility for everything." Hilco whispered.

Just then, a group of people fell from the sky. They were the Piltover people.

Jace had a happy look on his face, stepping on the flying board with Mel in his arms.

Behind him were other councillors, who also came to the bottom level of Zaun with the help of the Gutter Enforcers.

Hilco heard the noise, raised his head and looked at Jace.

"Is everything resolved?" Jace breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone was there, and said happily, "I was startled when I saw the white light just now, but the law enforcement officer in the ditch said it was safe, so I brought people down to check it out."

"Hey, where's Li Ke?" Jace suddenly realized that Li Ke was not there, so he asked.

"He died protecting Zaun," Hilco said calmly.

Jace was stunned and opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

But behind him, Councillors Hoskar and Salo showed signs of joy.

That black-haired monster is dead?

Now, between Pizu.
But before Hoskar and Saro, who had their own plans in mind, could feel happy, Hilco stood up and walked towards Jace step by step.

"Now, I am the Lord of Zaun."

Xierko's tone was cold and murderous, and he said in a cold voice: "What do you want to tell me?"

Vandel stood behind Hilko. He used to be a moderate, but now he showed a cold expression. He understood what it meant for Zaun to lose Li Ke, but Li Ke gave up on him and allowed him to survive.

Looking at it now, Vander suddenly understood why he survived.

In order to prevent Zaun from falling into a disadvantage in the negotiations with Piltover.

"Wait, Xierko, why are you doing this?" Jace looked at Xierko's face with a complicated expression, "Also, is Li Ke really dead?"

"He is so strong, how could he die?"

Seeing that Hilco and Fandel were silent, Jace knew that this was true. Then, he closed his eyes and said:

"From today on, Piltover will unconditionally sponsor Zaun and help them rebuild their homes. It was my decision to open the floodgates. All losses will be compensated by the Talis family."

"Silco, I am also a member of the Zaun parliament, please don't do this to me."

He opened his eyes and said to Hilco.

Meier got off the ground, raised his hand in agreement, and whispered, "The Midalda family is also willing to sponsor Zaun and contribute to the peace between the two cities."

"Horskar too, I have already built a dock for Zaun, you will be able to use it in a few days."

When Saro saw that several parliamentarians had expressed their opinions, he also stood up and said that he would also do his part for Zaun.

Hilco nodded and lowered his eyes.

Zaun will not fall.
