Lux's Farewell

249 [0246] Law enforcement officers in action
The Zaunites moved methodically.

Piltover, by comparison, was a mess.

Although Caitlin immediately mobilized the whole team of law enforcement officers after discovering the problem, but after learning that it was the Noxus who came, less than half of the law enforcement officers were willing to follow her to complete the team—and even if this half were willing Most of those who followed Caitlin to their posts were in a state of double-strand fighting and almost wanting to leave first.

That's all because the whole team is Caitlin.

If it were another law enforcement officer, I am afraid that half of them would not be willing to take up arms and stand on their own posts.

Although the number of law enforcement officers assembled is insufficient, Caitlin is still not depressed. The life of law enforcement officers has gradually taught her to accept reality and release herself. Although she is very dissatisfied with the reactions of these law enforcement officers, at least... At least there are people who are willing Stay on the job!
After these law enforcement officers hurriedly buttoned their coats, put on their equipment, and arrived at their posts, Caitlin issued the next order without hesitation.

"Piltover was shamelessly attacked by the Noxians!" Caitlin stood in front of the line of law enforcement officers and shouted loudly, "According to the law enforcement officer's manual, we are now going to run to the north of the city to stop the enemy! Now, everyone obeys: right-turn! run-go!"

However, as Caitlin gave the order and blew the whistle, none of the law enforcement officers who had just lined up moved. They all looked at Caitlin as if they were fools. Several people even shook their heads helplessly and turned just go.

"What are you doing?" Caitlin's eyes widened in astonishment, "Where are you going?"

"Go where we're supposed to go!"

"You should follow me to the north of the city now!" Caitlin raised her voice, "The law enforcement manual says that in an emergency..."

"In an emergency, the priority is to defend in Lanxun Manor."

"That's right!" Caitlin nodded, "I'll be the first—"

"Yes, that's your home. If you don't go first, who will go first?" Someone in the crowd responded, "Unfortunately, my home is not in Lanxun Manor!"

"That's what the Marshal's Manual—"

"Because the person who edited the manual lives in Lanxun Manor!" This time, the person who spoke walked out of the line with his head held high and faced Caitlin, "But we are not, we are just law enforcement officers who live and eat, in the North City Not an inch of land!"

Caitlin stared at the familiar face in front of her in astonishment—this was one of her squad leaders, and she was also a member she was very optimistic about. In her plan, when she was promoted to the police chief, he should be her Successor to current position.

But now, this person whom she was infinitely optimistic about, said something completely incompatible with the identity of a law enforcement officer to herself without hesitation.

"You are a respectable leader." Seeing the astonishment on Caitlin's face, the other party couldn't help shaking his head, "But unfortunately, you are as clean as a flower petal that never fell on the ground. do not understand anything!"

"..."

"Do you think you are the only one who wants to be a perfect law enforcement officer? You are the only one who is brave? Only you are clean?" Since the other party has already opened his mouth, he should simply say, "That's because your surname is Gilaman, and you don't have to support your family. Don’t worry about future promotion either!”

"..."

"Law enforcement officer? Protect fairness and justice? Bullshit!" The more he said, the more excited he became, the face of this law enforcement officer, who was several years older than Caitlin, was flushed, and his whole body seemed to be a hex crystal that was exploding, "The whole of Piltover Husband, who the hell doesn’t know, the law enforcement officer is the dog of those big shots in Lanxun Manor—”

"no……"

"Unfortunately, I'm not a real dog, and the bastard at Lanxun Manor is not worth abandoning my family to protect." Looking at the helpless Caitlin, the other party seemed a little discouraged, "Miss Caitlin, you are different from them, we I respect you and believe in you...Maybe ten years from now, when you are no longer so childish, if you are still as clean as you are now, then the ranks of law enforcement officers in Piltover will also be clean. "

"..."

"We believe in you and are willing to stand by your side, but that's all." Amidst Caitlin's silence, the other party sighed, "Big people have their own personal guards, and we don't need small people to work hard. Beicheng, I care more about our own home—now, everyone turn left and run!"

The marshals, following his orders, turned left, ran away in front of Caitlyn, and headed for their own block.

Only a few people remained where they were - either they were bachelors, or they didn't really want to give up on Caitlin, and they just froze in place.

At this moment, Caitlin's mind went blank.

She instinctively wanted to blame the law enforcement officials for not acting in accordance with the law enforcement officials' regulations, but seeing their backs leaving, she couldn't say anything.

With those familiar colleagues tearing their skins apart with her, Caitlin finally realized clearly for the first time that the so-called regulations and laws themselves may not be fair and reasonable.

As the daughter of a member of Parliament, Caitlin has become an outlier in her circle because she strictly abides by the laws and rules of Piltover.

As a Piltover law enforcement officer, Caitlin also became an outlier among the law enforcement officers because of her strict compliance with the law enforcement regulations.

She always thought that her persistence was correct, and that only by strictly following the rules can the problem be solved.

But at this moment, when the arrival of the Noxians tore the old order to pieces, she finally realized that the laws and rules of Piltover had completely different meanings to different people.

Some people follow the rules, but just keep eating and don't act too recklessly.

And some people follow the rules, but only sweat for others.

In the past, Caitlin always regarded Piltover's laws and rules as an insurmountable criterion, but because she subconsciously stood on her own point of view, she never clearly realized that even the same laws and rules have different effects on different people. It's totally unfair to humans.

For a moment, Caitlin even felt "tired and destroyed" in her heart, making her want to draw her gun and fight the Noxus.

Then, just when she was feeling depressed and at a loss, in the southern sky, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Looking at the emblem of Zaun on the clouds, Caitlin suddenly thought of Vi who had just met, and remembered the answer she gave when she asked her if the world was black and white, or a delicate gray.

"Then let the scope of black and white be as large as possible."

Wei's relaxed and natural tone seemed to appear in Kaitlyn's ears again.

Just as the world is not black and white enough, there are many problems with laws and rules.

But just as the scope of black and white can be made as large as possible, laws and rules can also be amended!

Maybe when necessary, I should also take a little flexible approach!

Thinking of this, Caitlin finally cheered up again.

"Everyone, if anyone wants to go home and be with their family, then they can move freely!" She puffed up her chest again, "If you still want to believe me, then follow me—we won't go to Lanxun Manor Head-to-head with the Noxians, let's go to the academy and fully arm us first!"

After finishing speaking, she turned left without hesitation and ran towards the Piltover Academy of Science and Progress.

And behind her, the remaining law enforcement officers finally set off as a group after being suspicious for a moment, following her footsteps.

　Carya's Little Classroom Piltover's Code:

　　The laws of Piltover are promulgated and implemented through the parliament. Considering the status of the parliament, the tendency of these laws is undoubtedly quite obvious. For the people of Piltover, law enforcement officers do not abide by the law, and sometimes it is not even a bad thing...
