Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 123 Hey, uncle, are you going to work so early?
That night, after Jinx gave Isa a bath, the two of them, one big and one small, went to bed in their pajamas.

Jinx was lying in the innermost room, patting the bed, motioning Li Ke to get on the bed.

And Isa lay in the middle, leaning against Jinx, with her calves stretched out, her feet shaking, staring at Li Ke with her big eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ke walked forward with a smile, took off his shoes and got on the bed. Li Ke pressed the pillow, leaned against the wall, and began to tell Jinx and Isa what he encountered in Ioni.

At the same time, Li Ke also told the people in the material realm for the first time about his adventures in the Soul Lotus Land.

Jinx and Isa didn’t know what the golden finger was, but they believed in Li Ke. Besides, there were some strange things in Runeterra.

For example, now, after listening to what Li Ke said, Jinx's eyes were very bright.

She squeezed Isa, moved closer to Li Ke, and asked:
"Li Ke, help your fox, is she a spirit?"

"Yes, Ahri is the kind and saving spirit. She was the one who helped us kill the monster that day and protected my soul."

"So are the wolves and sheep that helped you revive your soul also gods? But Li Ke, wolves eat sheep."

"They're not really sheep and wolves, they're just...conscious entities, Jinx."

"But wolves have to eat sheep. No matter how conscious they are, they are still wolves and sheep, and they will follow this instinct."

"They are one, they are gods, not animals. That is, how should I put it, Jinx? Kindred is not the name of Lamb Spirit, but the name of the wolf and the sheep together. Lamb Spirit is the kind side, and Wolf Spirit is the cruel side. They used to be one, and then for some unknown reason, they were split into two and became two spirits. But only when they are together can they be called Kindred."

"I understand, Li Ke. You said so much, but you didn't refute the fact that wolves eat sheep. So can I assume that you don't know whether the wolf has attacked the sheep or not, and you are just pretending to know?"

Jinx looked at Li Ke with a naughty expression on her face, and teased, "This is what you told me, the knowing brother, right? You said before that Hilco always wants to intervene in everything, like a knowing brother."

"."

"Jinx, Issa seems sleepy."

"Eh?" Isa, who was listening with great interest and eyes wide open, tilted her head and looked at Li Ke.

"You're sleepy." Li Ke said to her seriously, "Children must go to bed early."

Isa blinked and understood what Li Ke meant. My brother was using me as a shield. But, should I side with my brother or my sister?
I haven't seen my brother for a year. Logically, Isa should like Li Ke more and be on Li Ke's side because they haven't seen each other for so long. But my sister had a hard time this year. She was in great pain.
But after her brother came back, her sister was different and came back to life all of a sudden.

So, Isa decisively turned around, buried her little head in Jinx's chest, and made a humming sound.

"."

"Let's go to bed too."

"Uh-huh."

Li Ke closed his eyes and lay on the bed. The comfortable environment and familiar fragrance made Li Ke fall asleep immediately. But in the middle of the night, Li Ke felt something crawling into his arms in a daze. Without even opening his eyes, Li Ke curled the corners of his mouth and knew who it was.

Turning around and hugging her, Li Ke fell asleep in her arms.

Early in the morning, Isa got up.

Children are full of energy, and Isa is the child among children, the king of children. In addition, her mood yesterday was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. So when she was pretending to sleep last night, she said she was pretending to sleep, but after Isa closed her eyes, she really fell asleep after a while.

Therefore, early in the morning, before the street lights outside were turned off, Isa got up and stretched. Then, she found that she was sleeping at the very edge of the bed. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and Isa was a little confused.

Didn't she sleep between her brother and sister last night? !
Why are you here?
With this thought in mind, Isa turned her head and saw two people hugging each other.

Seeing this, Isa pursed her lips, stood up and stood beside the bed, looked at the two of them and snorted, then she carefully walked to the bed, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and then ran back to her room.

"Senator Hilco, you should take a break."

In Zaun's parliament building, the law enforcement officer came to relieve last night's guard duty before dawn, but when he saw the lights on in the parliamentarian's room, he thought the previous law enforcement officer had forgotten to turn off the lights, so he walked in.

As a result, the gutter law enforcement officer met Hilco.

Hilco hadn't slept all night, and he hadn't even left the parliament building the entire day yesterday. However, Renata, who shared the same office with him, punched out and went home directly after get off work.

She would never work overtime for this bastard!
She leaves work on time and won’t work unless urged. This is Renata!

She has always been the one giving orders to others. Now she is being told to do things every day. It would be strange if she feels good about it.
Hilco sat in his office, quietly looking at a graffiti-covered cup on the table all night, and reached out to touch the cracks and paint on it.

Hearing the law enforcement officer's warm reminder, Hilco raised his head and narrowed his eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot, he shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just stand guard."

"Yes, Congressman Hilco." The sewer law enforcement officer nodded, then stood outside the door and guarded his post.

Every day, forty ditch enforcement officers take turns guarding the parliament building in Zaun, preventing the theft of internal information and protecting the safety of parliamentarians. Lying back, Hilco glanced at the time. It was already half past six in the morning.

Have more than ten hours passed?

Sighing, Hilco stood up, picked up his coat beside him, put it on, and walked out of the office.

"Do you need me to escort you?"

"No, I can do it myself."

Many people were already up in Zaan early in the morning. In the Hope Community, various breakfast stalls had been set up, and guests were sitting at the tables, enjoying the hot food.

Broth, roast meat, bread, mushroom soup
Under Renata's policies, people in Zaun can now earn money. When they have more money in hand, their diet will naturally follow suit, and this has also driven Zaun's current catering culture.

In the past in Zaun, if you wanted to eat, you could basically only order something in a tavern, or go to a small stall in the market to eat some cheap food. Restaurants did not exist in Zaun at all.

In terms of food culture, Zaun is really far inferior to Piltover.

But now it's different. Many Zaun people have started to set up stalls and use their "ancestral" skills. Don't worry about whether the food in Piltover is delicious or not. Just ask if you can see this thing in Piltover. Hmm? Speak!

Spicy marsh frog, steamed chicken, scorpion mushroom soup, can you find stuff like this in Piltover?

The answer is obviously no.

Silko pulled up the collar of his clothes, lowered his head, his bangs blocking his vision, and walked on the street of Hope Community towards his home.

He was now too exhausted to think about anything, because Hilco discovered that he was not as strong and cold-blooded as he had thought.

After all, yesterday afternoon it was just his hypocritical pursuit of decency that made him look calmer and more composed than Vander, but in fact, his situation was no better than Vander's.

My mood was extremely bad, my mind was like a paste being messed with, my thoughts were all over the place, and my emotions almost got out of control several times.
As his nose smelled the smell of cooking magic frog, Hilco frowned. If it were before, he might have bought one and brought it to Jinx.

He knew that Jinx had no appetite, but as long as he brought it to her, Jinx would eat it. Although Hilco thought it didn't taste good, Jinx liked it very much.

But now, there is no point for Hilco to stop.

Walking straight forward, Hilco left the stall, but after walking ten meters, in the quiet morning, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Don't fill your mouth with it. Also, don't give me any more food. I really don't like this. It tastes weird."

The voice was full of helplessness, yet also carried a hint of doting.

Hilco stopped walking, this voice sounded very familiar to him.
"Okay, then I'll eat it myself."

Then, a voice that was more familiar to Hilco sounded.

Hearing the voice, Hilco turned around abruptly and looked towards the stall selling cooked magic frogs, his eyes anxiously searching for something, and then he froze in place.

Hilco saw two figures sitting on a small bench with their backs to him.

Both figures were thin, one with black hair and the other with blue hair.

Taking a deep breath, he walked forward and stood behind the two figures.

As he got closer, the expression on Hilco's face became more and more strange, like joy, horror, confusion, and fear.
Finally, Hilco stood behind the young man, stretched out his hand, and patted the black-haired young man on the back.

The other person turned around, revealing a face that was extremely familiar to Hilco, and next to him was Jinx, who had caused chaos in the entire Zaun yesterday and was looking for her everywhere.

Her mouth was full of oil from eating.

"Hey, uncle, good morning."

"You come to work so early? That's great. You're really motivated."

"Hilco, have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat something together. Li Ke doesn't like this food. I ordered too much. It seems that I can't finish it by myself."

The dead came back to life, raised their hands and greeted him with a smile.

The person who had left came back and patted the stool to ask him to sit down and eat.

"."

"Like, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Hillco looked at Li Ke and clenched his fists.
