Chapter 135 Jinx's Diary
If Jinx could keep a diary, this is what her week in Piltover would look like:
Monday, sunny.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion Lina’s brother gave to the Ferros family, but that girl from Piltover named Kaya really didn’t come back to cause trouble.
He has a great tongue.
But I still secretly told Lina that it would be better to stuff the damn girl's mouth with stinky socks and sink her into Pirt Bay.
Sister Lina seemed to be disgusted by this.
Maybe... I need to pay attention to my personal hygiene and use clean socks next time?
Tuesday, sunny.
I heard from Sister Lina that the Leader's Scientific Equipment Department has received a new batch of weapon-grade artificial hextech gems.
It seems that the Leader and the Philos family have reached some kind of cooperation.
Hmm... Is this important information?
Hilco, you sent me here for the right reasons. I am doing my undercover work seriously~
Wednesday, mostly cloudy.
Levi is such a complete asshole!
This cold-blooded guy even punished his own sister!
What...removal of all positions within the association? Cannot be reinstated or promoted within two years?
Those damn disciplinary inspection cadres didn't even let Sister Lina be the team leader, and asked her to hand in her Hextech armor!
asshole!!
Lina did so many good things in Zaun.
Why was she suspended from her job and punished by having her do labor education and volunteer to sweep the streets?
Obviously... I was the one who made the mistake.
It rained heavily on Thursday.
The bad news is that Sister Lina has been suspended.
I was also disqualified from applying to join the Wind Chasers Association. I will be volunteering with her to sweep the streets starting next week. For a month.
The good news is that Sister Lina has been suspended.
She doesn't have to go to work for the time being, so she can play with me from morning to night.
Well... she is so nice. It was obviously my fault, but she still wanted to protect me.
Wei is not as good as her.
Friday, sunny.
Today Lina took me shopping and bought me a very expensive ice cream that only people from Piltover can afford.
In fact, I have secretly eaten this thing in the homes of those rich people a long time ago, and the taste is not much better than the ice cream in Zaun 1 Copper Ring.
The people in Piltover must have some IQ problems to spend so much money on this crap.
But Lena bought this for me.
I've finished eating.
Saturday, sunny.
Today, when I was walking past the factory, I suddenly heard a wolf howling.
How strange that there are wolves in Piltover.
I asked Lina, and she said that this is still a secret of the Leaders. It is their "secret weapon" to deal with a certain alchemy baron in Zaun, and it is not convenient to reveal it to me.
Hilco... I really didn't stop asking because I was in a hurry to go to Seraphine's concert with Lina.
She didn't tell me.
By the way, I got you a copy of the "Lone Warrior" album signed by Seraphine. You'll like it, Hilco.
Sunday, rain.
I had a nightmare last night about Vander.
It's so strange... I haven't had nightmares since I came to Piltover, but I still had one last night.
Fortunately, Lina is here.
She heard me crying and talking in my sleep in the middle of the night, so she woke me up, hugged me to comfort me, and slept with me.
The feeling of sleeping with Sister Lina in my arms...is actually pretty good.
Maybe, having nightmares isn’t such a bad thing?
…
A week passed peacefully.
Jinx has unknowingly integrated into her new identity and new life in Piltover, and even seems to be forgetting her hometown.
Even at this moment, she was... wearing a rustic orange vest, holding a broom and dustpan, sweeping the streets in the Zaun community as a cleaner.
Jinx is still happy.
At least, when she worked with Lina, she wouldn't have those hallucinations that drove her crazy.
The only thing she couldn't accept was:
"I'm sorry, Sister Lina."
"I'm sorry to bother you with sweeping the floor with me..."
Jinx has a very unique personality.
If it was her own mistake, even if it led to serious consequences and she was scolded and criticized by countless people, she might not truly reflect on it.
But if it was her fault and the person she loved had to bear the consequences...she would feel extremely guilty, so guilty that she might even have a mental breakdown.
"It doesn't matter."
"I've said it many times. Kaya has been bullying me for a whole year. I wanted to beat her up."
"Not only to protect you, but also to vent my anger."
Lina stopped her broom and smiled openly.
But Jinx knew that Lina was implicated by her.
If Lina doesn't help her share the responsibility, given the serious consequences her actions have brought to the Leader, according to the Leader's discipline... she will be dismissed from her job and sent back to Zaun.
"It's all my fault." Jinx kicked the dustpan beside her indignantly, and looked at the busy street, as well as the rustic cleaning uniforms she and Lina were wearing:
"Lina, you were already the team leader, but because of me, your brother sent you to do this."
Lina didn't care: "It's just one month of labor education, it's nothing."
"When the labor camp is over, I can still go back to be a member of the investigation team ."
"Then you can only be a team member!" Jinx was very angry:
She knew how serious the impact of this punishment was on Lina.
Not being able to resume her original position or get promoted for two years meant that Lina could only work as a grassroots clerk in the first two years when Leader was developing the fastest and it was easiest to make achievements .
He can't even be a cadre.
"I don't care." Lina smiled and said, "There is only division of labor in revolutionary work, there is no high or low."
"So what if I don't become a cadre? As a member of the investigation team or a mechanical engineer, I can still contribute to the ideals and career of the leader."
Although Jinx's understanding of faith has become much deeper after a week of daily interaction and enlightenment.
She still couldn't accept Corina's noble words.
" What do you mean there is no high or low? How is that possible?" Jinx waved the broom in his hand indignantly: "How can those of us who sweep the streets be the same as those who sit in the office as officials?"
"I think they only say that everyone is equal, but they look down on us in their hearts."
"No." Lina said, "A true leader would never think like that."
"But here, if you are not a true leader of faith, you cannot be an official."
Jinx: “…”
She was actually choked by Lina.
That’s right… almost all of the Windward cadres she met in Piltover this week were the kind of good people who only appeared in stories.
Jinx, who grew up in Zaun and was used to the dark side, felt uncomfortable and couldn't adapt.
"But cadres are only a minority after all."
"Don't most people only respect us on the surface, but look down on us in their hearts?"
Jinx couldn't help but argue with Lina.
Discussing Janna's thoughts and social issues with her sister was also a habit she had unconsciously developed over the past week.
This time Lina thought about it seriously.
She said: "Jessica, the situation you are talking about does exist at present."
"But... you have to know that even if it's just 'surface respect' for the workers, it's a huge improvement for the citizens of Zaun and Piltover."
"Our efforts have paid off, haven't they?"
As she spoke, Lina smiled and responded to the greetings from several passers-by.
They didn't know her, and they all wore gold-rimmed glasses and well-tailored suits, looking like intellectuals.
But when they passed by, they would carefully avoid the garbage swept up by Lina, and express their apologies and respect to the cleaner for disturbing her.
This is the social atmosphere that gradually formed after the emergence of the trend-setter.
Before this, looking across the entire Rune Land, who would give a street sweeper a good look?
"Well..." Jinx was speechless.
Leaders are truly making the world a better place.
Even if Jinx doesn't have any grand ideals, she instinctively wants to live in such a better world.
“I believe that with our efforts, the world can become a better place.”
"There will come a day when all men will be created equal. The sons of former slaves will be able to sit down at the same table with the sons of former slave owners and live in a country where people will be judged not by the status of their lives but by the content of their characters..."
Lina spoke longingly of her dream.
"Can this be done?" Jinx murmured.
"Okay." Lina nodded seriously.
“And we’ve already done part of that.”
As she spoke, Lina pointed ahead as if she had discovered a perfect example.
"See that girl over there, shopping with her friends?"
"Who?" Jinx looked curiously, "The one with dark blue hair?"
"Yes, she is Caitlin Gillamane, the eldest daughter of the Gillamane family."
"And the good friend who was chatting and laughing with her was just a Zaun girl."
The eldest lady of Piltover and the little girl of Zaun can actually walk together arm in arm.
This is incredible.
"To a certain extent, this shows that, at least in the territory of the leaders, the class barriers between people have been eliminated to the greatest extent possible."
Lina was giving examples seriously.
But Jinx was suddenly dazed.
Because the "Zuan friend" next to Caitlyn seemed familiar to her.
How come it looks like...
"Wei?!"
