Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 6 is selfish

"pat-"

This is the sound of pressing the button on the back of the gun.

The smile faded and the expression of the girl in front of him became cold. She held the gun in one hand and touched the gun with the other hand, then pressed the button on it with a click.

Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly shouted, "Wait, it's me, Li Ke. Baobao, it's me, Li Ke from the Black Alley."

"Have you forgotten?"

"Li Ke? I don't know him. Let me think, whose subordinate you might be. But, that's not important." Baobao suddenly smiled, her blue eyes sparkling. She looked at Li Ke, and her fingers painted with pink nail polish pressed the button deeper.

"Wait, look, I still have the pocket watch you gave me." Li Ke was speechless upon seeing this. Although she had not yet been transformed by Wei Guang, had she already become a crazy woman?
Who in their right mind would shoot a stranger?

Reaching out to his chest, Li Ke took out a pocket watch, and shook it twice towards Baobao.

The next second, the gun disappeared in front of Li Ke, and a snow-white arm stretched out and grabbed the pocket watch. Li Ke also smelled a smell that was not very pleasant, but not unpleasant either.

That was a girl with fluffy hair, and her little head was close to Li Ke's chest. The smell of her hair also reached Li Ke's nostrils.

The scent of motor oil and a hint of lemon combined into a not-so-pleasant smell that rushed towards Li Ke.

"I remember now!" She clapped her hands suddenly, looked up at Li Ke, and tiptoed closer to him. Her upturned nose twitched, and she looked at Li Ke with joy and said, "Li Ke, you are the Li Ke who fought with Wei when they were little, right? I remember you were the younger brother of Marson's gang!"

"Mello hates you guys the most!"

She suddenly became more talkative, circled around Li Ke twice, then excitedly pushed Li Ke and said loudly: "Come in, let's have a good talk."

"But this is my home," said Li Ke.

"It doesn't matter, it's not important." Baobao replied.

After pushing Li Ke into Li Ke's house, Baobao hooked the door with his foot, then came to Li Ke, sat naturally on the wooden bed, snapped his fingers, and a small graffiti lamp on the table next to him lit up.

She curled up her body, hugged her legs with her arms, looked at Li Ke, and said with a very rich expression: "I didn't expect you were still alive."

Looking at Bakugo, or rather, Jinx.

Li Ke also felt a little emotional. In his memory, Li Ke and Marsson also grew up in the dark alley. Their parents also participated in the riot under the leadership of Vander and died on the bridge.

Therefore, Li Ke and Marssen are also Vandal's "children", but unlike Wei and Boom, they were not kept at Vandal's home. However, in the Alley, they were also children who grew up under Vandal's protection.

This is also the biggest reason why the original body was unwilling to join the gang with Marsan and wreak havoc in the alley. In the original body's heart, he always remembered the tall and gentle man.

Vandel was the spiritual leader of Zaun, but now, Hilco has become the one leading Zaun. In Li Ke's mind, that was a usurpation of the throne, and everything that belonged to Vandel was taken away by Hilco.

And now looking at Baobao in front of him, Li Ke's heart is even more complicated.

On the one hand, his childhood memories were influencing him, and on the other hand, Li Ke's senses after watching the Battle of Two Cities were affecting him.

Jinx is a scourge, a pitiful and hateful character.

But I have to say that this character is very charming. Many people say that the reason why Bakugou became Jinx is because of the low-level environment, but there is only one Jinx in Zaun.

Li Ke, Marson, Wei, Ekko, which one didn't have the same childhood as Jinx? Which one dares to say that he lives in a good environment?

It was not the environment that turned Bomb into Jinx, but love. Whether it is Zaun or Piltover, many people in the two cities have confided in this world and have an obsession to change this world. Wei, the policewoman, Fandel, Silk, Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, Meier, Sevika, and even the alchemist barons in Zaun, they have all more or less denounced this world and wanted to change it.

But what about Jinx?

She didn't. She never complained about the world or denounced the world from beginning to end.

Li Ke's understanding of Jinx is that she is not dissatisfied with this world. She lived a carefree life when she was a child. Fandel and Weiwei blocked the dangers from the outside world for her, like a knight guarding a princess.

Young Baobao never worried about her own life. She was really protected too well by Vandal and Wei, so that as a child growing up in the lower class, she had a weak and simple character.

She doesn't care what is right or wrong, she doesn't care who suffers, who is exploited, who is oppressed, who is persecuted, and who dies in the alley.

She just wants the people around her to stay with her and protect her all her life.

What she wanted was to live a good life.

Even if it hurts everything around her, she only cares about herself. This is very selfish. From Li Ke's perspective, this is really hard to explain.

Because this kind of thing is simply hard to explain.

Li Ke can make it clear by giving an example.

Jinx's behavior is just like those children who cling to their parents and refuse to let them leave. She believes that their parents should be with them all the time.

But parents always have to leave their children for a short period of time because they need to go to work and have responsibilities to their friends, relatives, and even the environment around them.

But children cannot understand. They are selfish and will only blame their parents for not being able to stay with them all the time.

Therefore, from this perspective, Li Ke can understand Jinx's behavior.

She is just a spoiled, selfish, and purely eccentric "lunatic".

Therefore, Li Ke does not expect to reason with Jinx, because it is useless to reason with a paranoid lunatic, just like the reason of an adult is different from that of a child.

"Yes, I'm still alive." Li Ke came back to his senses and nodded at Baobao.

"It's great to see you. What about Marsson? What about Noka? Are they still alive too?" Baobao shook her body, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, and her two long blue braids moved slightly on Li Ke's bed.

She is quiet and not crazy. Li Ke has to say that she is really cute.

Her pale face was painted with smoky makeup, and the tear troughs and bloodshot around her eyes added a sense of maturity and brokenness to her, but her small baby face retained her childishness and naivety. The contrast was really maximized.

"Alive."

"Where are they? What are they doing?"

"Joined a gang."

"Haha, that's strange. I remember that Marsson was very timid. Why would he join a gang?" Baobao buried his face in his knees and asked Li Ke curiously.

Li Ke replied: "To survive."
