Chapter 74 Wei, Boom, and Jinx
Wei didn't know what path Levi was going to point out for her, but she stepped into the howling wind without hesitation.
Then the wind whistled and the air surged, and her body lightly left the ground and soared into the air with Levi, floating out of the narrow skylight of the prison and flying under the sunny blue sky.
Once you escape from the cage, the world will be boundless.
So Wei immediately said excitedly: "Levi, I want to go back to Zaun!"
"Hey?" I rescued you and helped you with your business, and you want to run away?
"I want to go back to find Baobao." Wei was a little embarrassed, but her attitude was still firm: "She is my sister, I can't let her disappear in such an unclear way."
"This..." Levi understood.
Although Wei has become a staunch believer in Janna and is passionate about the cause he is talking about , her sister is always the most important to her.
“I’m sorry,” Wei promised. “I’ll definitely come back once I find Bombshell’s whereabouts.”
Levi slowly controlled the air flow, and with the graceful cloud-riding posture of an oriental immortal, he quickly flew towards Piltover with Wei.
Then he said, "Actually, I know where Boom Boom is."
"What did you say?!" Wei took a moment to react before clenching his hands into fists.
"Don't grab my collar, or we'll both fall down." Levi predicted.
Wei's movements froze, but her eyes were still wide open: "Levi, explain it to me clearly... You know where Baobao is? How did you know ?"
"I am Janna's chosen one. Janna knows everything about the Two Cities."
This explanation was very convincing. But Wei's questions did not stop there: "Then why did you keep saying you didn't know?! I asked you, and you lied to me and said you had never seen a bomb!"
"Because of her current situation, you may not be happy to hear it." Levi said in a subtle tone.
"Where is she? What happened to my sister?" Wei asked immediately with concern.
"Don't worry, she's doing well now." Levi sighed: "Her name is not Boom Boom now, but Jinx."
"And Jinx, many people in Zaun know her."
"Because she is Hilco's adopted daughter."
Wei: “…”
The news shocked her.
"You, are you kidding me... Hilco is the murderer who killed Vandel and our adoptive father... How could Bomb work for our enemy! And..."
"Adopted daughter? You said she now recognizes Hilco as her father? That's impossible!"
"Not in name, but in fact they are father and daughter." Levi pretended that what he heard was not a rhetorical question, and just answered seriously.
His tone was very serious, and with the aura of Janna's Chosen, Wei began to believe it even though she was reluctant to accept it.
"Impossible, this is impossible..."
"Why not?" Li Wei said, "When you abandoned Baobao six years ago, she was just a child under 10 years old."
"The child needs a family. And at that time, only Hilco could give her a family."
"I..." Levi's words reminded Wei of the tragedy that happened that year.
To put it simply, Wei, her two childhood friends, and her adoptive father Vandel were fighting against Silk's team under a heavy disadvantage.
After a hard battle, they all had a chance of escaping with low health.
But Baobao, who was originally left at the fountain to hang up safely, suddenly arrived at the scene and dropped a big bomb, killing all the teammates except Wei...
The kid had good intentions to help, but ended up doing something far more detrimental.
Wei's childhood friend died, and her adoptive father also died in front of her. Wei was so grief-stricken that she scolded Bao Bao severely, then left her sister alone at the explosion site, and walked away in a daze.
“No… that’s not the case!” Wei didn’t care how Levi knew so many details. She just excitedly retorted: “I didn’t abandon Baobao! I, I… I just left because I was excited at that time. Later, I went back to find her immediately!”
"It was only because that corrupt policeman Marcos arrested me that I couldn't go back to see her!"
"So you didn't see her in the end, did you?" Levi sighed: "In Bakugo's eyes, she was abandoned."
"Wei, don't forget, I told you:"
"Her name isn't 'Boom' now, her name is 'Jinx'."
Wei couldn't help but be stunned.
Jinx, jinx, means an ominous person and a disaster.
Those were the words she had cursed at Baobao when she was out of control in grief and anger. She called her sister a nuisance and a jinx.
So Bomb became the adopted daughter of her enemy Hilco and became Jinx.
"I want to go back to find her!" Wei clenched his fists in pain and self-blame.
"Calm down, Wei." Levi advised: "What can you do if you go back alone?"
"Even if Jinx can be persuaded by your words and turn back into your Boom Boom, will Hilco watch you take his daughter away and become his enemy?"
"With just the two of you, can you guarantee a safe escape from Zaun?"
"Then I want to try it too!" Wei gritted his teeth stubbornly.
"If you insist on going now, I am willing to take you there. But I hope you can wait patiently for a while."
"Waiting for what?" Wei asked.
"When our organization becomes stronger, we can go back together."
"Are you going to Zaun too to cause trouble for Hilco?" Wei understood something.
"That's right." Levi nodded. "But we are not going to cause trouble for Hilco. Instead, we are going to cause trouble for all the alchemy barons in Zaun, all the compradors in Zaun, and all the bad guys who bully the people of Zaun!"
"You..." Wei finally understood: "Those 'non-violent non-cooperation' you mentioned before were all used to deceive those Piltover people?"
"You just want to keep a low profile and accumulate strength, return to Zaun to fight with Silko for territory, and then turn around and destroy Piltover?!"
Although the words are a bit rough, the general direction is not wrong.
"Yes, so our interests are aligned."
"You want to seek revenge on Hilco, and we want to seize Hilco's territory;"
"You have to save Jinx, and we have to make sure that stories like Jinx's never happen again in Zaun."
Li Wei paused for a moment, and said to Wei in a deep voice: "Wei, I know you feel very guilty now, blaming yourself for cursing and abandoning your sister."
"But can you be blamed for this?"
"Can you blame your sister?"
Baobao was at fault for accidentally killing his adoptive father and childhood friend; Wei abandoned her sister in a fit of rage and did not fulfill her duties as an older sister.
But the root of these mistakes does not lie with them, but with this fucked up world.
When a 10-year-old girl has to go to the battlefield carrying a bomb, it doesn't make much sense to talk about her personal mistakes.
In the face of this darkness, people are too insignificant. They are just pushed by fate and helplessly move towards despair.
"In the old society, people were always turned into ghosts."
"Our goal as leaders is to create a new world and turn ghosts back into humans!"
"We must not only save Bakugo, but also all the children in Zaun who are helpless like Bakugo!"
As he spoke, Li Wei formally extended an invitation to Wei:
"Wei, are you willing to join us, the Wind Leaders, and help us save the countless 'Booms' in Zaun?"
"I..." Wei pondered for a while.
She thought for a long time before asking, "How long will it take for us to return to Zuan?"
"Don't worry, it will be quick." Levi affirmed: "Don't forget, we have Janna's blessing."
"How long will it take? I want a specific time." Wei is not someone who can be patient and listen to his boss's empty promises.
So Li Wei thought about it and answered, "About a month."
If the Leaders can continue to develop at their current momentum, a month will be enough for them to return to Zaun and open a branch base.
“Okay.” Wei asked again: “I want to be among the first group of people to return to Zuan.”
"Of course." Levi smiled.
Wei was originally selected by him for Leader, and would be the first batch of cadres to return to Zaun in the future.
Because Wei is not only a Zaun, but also the adopted daughter of the former leader Fandel.
Although Vandel is no longer popular, he is a man of generous character, chivalrous spirit, and has been the big brother in Zaun for so many years, so he should still have some respect for others.
The people of Zaan generally remember the kindness of this righteous brother.
Once Wei, the "princess of the previous dynasty", appears and plays the card of "Vandel's adopted daughter", she will be able to help the Leader gain a lot of popularity among the people of Zaun.
Even many of Zaun's leading figures would be attracted to her, such as... Ike.
Zaun's super scientific genius, the future time assassin Ekko, is Vandall's loyal follower and Vi's best friend and childhood friend.
"I promise you, Wei." Levi made the promise solemnly.
"Okay!" Wei also replied in a serious manner: "Levi, I will go with you to see--"
"What exactly is the new world you're talking about?"
