Lux's Farewell

227 [0224] Big muscles have great wisdom

Even with doubts in mind, life goes on.

The next day, Kaitlyn still came to the laboratory early—although Piltover's joint cooperation experiment needs to be suspended for a period of time, and the laboratory still needs to be repaired, Caitlyn still has to stay here and stare.

However, unlike the radiant look before, Caitlin, who was confused in her heart, was somewhat numb.

In the past, she could think that her job was to pursue the truth, punish evil and promote good, but after being "educated" by her mother, she finally had to admit that it seems that the position of law enforcement officer has not been her own since she was born. The look of longing and thinking.

Losing her faith, coupled with not having a good rest last night, Caitlin's complexion and mental state today are extremely ugly.

Contrary to Caitlin, Wei on Zaun's side is full of energy.

Because the Piltover laboratory temporarily stopped working, a lot of data happened to be transferred to the Zaun laboratory, so Wei had brought people to wait outside the Piltover laboratory early on.

Although the people in Piltover didn't look very friendly at her, Vi, who held her head high and her chest high, was very proud - on her chest, a big medal was shining brightly in the sun.

This is the [Level [-] Contribution Medal] awarded to her by Zaun for her heroic performance in yesterday's bombing.

In fact, just yesterday when the Piltover Evening News blamed Zaun, the Zaun Evening News quickly published the news about the Piltover bombing.

Although all the criminals were brought back by Picheng, Wei's experience alone was enough to explain many problems.

The Zaun Evening News fairly objectively reported the whole incident with Wei's interview as its main content, and speculated that "the bombing was led by the Noxus."

As the person in charge of the joint cooperative experimental project Zaan Regional Security, after discovering the bombing, Wei asked the law enforcement officers of Zuan to be more vigilant, acted quickly, and offered support. On the basis of ensuring his job, he showed It's Zaun's humanity and professionalism—and for that, she gets the medal.

The third-class medal is not too rare in Zaun, but for Vi, it is obviously an honor worth boasting about.

And, considering that it was a medal "for helping Mrs. Piltover", she had a reason to wear it to work.

(She even got a paycheck for violating the dress code...)
It's a pity that the people of Piltover don't seem to be very "knowledgeable", and they didn't show much about Wei, who subconsciously showed off her medals.

Only Caitlin's expression when looking at her changed slightly, and there was a hint of curiosity amidst the numbness.

"Cough cough cough-"

Noticing that someone had noticed her medal, Wei quickly cleared her throat, raised her head slightly, straightened her neck, and while patrolling left and right, she was doing chest expansion exercises "as if unconsciously".

"Wei." After a moment of hesitation, Caitlin finally approached her and asked in a low voice, "What does this world look like?"

"This medal—" Wei, who had prepared a long list of introductory remarks, had just begun to speak when she realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Caitlin's question, "cough cough cough, what did you say?"

"I said, what should this world look like?" Caitlin repeated her own words in a low voice, "Is it black and white, or a delicate gray?"

"Exquisite ash?" Wei looked at Caitlin like she was looking at a fool, "What's so exquisite about ash?"

"...That's not what it means." Caitlin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she said seemed a bit complicated to Wei, "I mean, is this world black or white, or is it neither black nor white?"

"Colorful?" Wei thought for a while, and gave an answer that made Caitlin couldn't help but press her forehead, "There's no such thing as black and white, Zaun is so red, there are deep red and light red!"

This kind of conversation between chicken and duck, donkey lips and horse mouths made Caitlin a little tired. She shook her head helplessly, and then smiled wryly at herself. She was also confused, and ran over to ask Wei...

Wei herself may be black and white, but maybe that's because she doesn't even know what ash is?

"You're so weird today." Looking at Caitlin's state and expression, Wei couldn't help shaking her head, "Why, the Piltover Council didn't reward you? Have you been beaten to the end?"

"No." Kaitlyn shook her head, "It has nothing to do with rewards and punishments, I just discovered something... different from what I thought."

"Something different from what you think?" Wei looked at Caitlin, who was tending towards Riddler, and after thinking for a moment, she showed a sympathetic expression, "Ha, I understand this, that is, you find that the world is not what you thought it was , so I feel very sad, right?"

Although deeply envious of Wei's frankness and ease, Caitlin, who was sympathized with, still felt an unusual irritability.

"It's not as simple as you said!"

"Basically!" Wei spread out his hands, opening and closing new gloves, "When I was young, I always had some self-righteous fantasies, thinking that some things were cool, but unfortunately, these are somewhat stupid in the eyes of others..."

Objectively speaking, these words can be regarded as Wei’s heartfelt words, and even involved some of her personal dark history, but to Caitlyn’s ears, this kind of words seemed to simply categorize the impact on her worldview For "children's whimsy".

Caitlin, who was already a little sensitive because of a bad mood, finally couldn't help it this time.

"Not everyone's world can be categorized as simply as yours!" She raised her tone, "I'm so dazed that I will ask you this question!"

"My world can't be simply categorized." Wei was not angry because of Caitlin's words, "If you just suddenly find that the world is bigger, broader, and more complicated than you thought... that at most proves that you grown up."

"What the hell." Caitlin, who has always been civilized, couldn't help but swear, "I'm not here to talk about growing up with you, I just want to know if there is any right or wrong in this fucking world !"

"Of course." This time, Wei replied without hesitation, "Is there even a need to ask?"

"However, there is no right or wrong in some things!" Caitlin looked down at Wei, her eyes widened, "Not everything is black and white!"

"Maybe." Wei was taken aback, took a step back, and then shrugged helplessly, "So, you want to say that there is no black and white, only gray mixed with black and white?"

"..."

Caitlin didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"But, there is always black and white?" Wei blinked, "Could it be...is it white to kill, set fire, and create pain without scruple?"

"But that's only a small number." Kaitlyn calmed down a little, and said wearily, "Except for a few black and white, the rest are endless gray."

"Then let the range of black and white be as large as possible." Wei said in an understatement tone, which made Caitlin dumbfounded, "And, according to what you mean, the world should at least go from pitch black to light black, and then to Dark gray, light gray, milky white, pure white?"

"..."

"Even if it's really just gray... you can look over there!" As if to support his statement, Wei stretched his finger to the Zaan administrative building in the distance, "That building was also gray at the beginning, painted with red paint. It's not even, but at least it's all red no matter whether it's deep red, light red, dark red or pink."

　Karya's Little Classroom Zaun's Medallion:
　　Zaun's medal is currently four levels - the name is very simple, that is, special class, first class, second class, and third class.

　　However, in the design of the medal, the people of Zaun are still very careful.

　　The special medal is the star dome, the first-level medal is a miniature version of the currently known map of Runeterra, the second-level medal is a miniature version of Shurima, and the third-level medal is a miniature version of the city of Zaun.
