Cyberzaun, Machinarium

Ever since she was driven to Upper City by her sister, she suddenly realized that with her current wealth and property, she might have to live under a bridge in Piltover.
It was foreseeable that one night, he would be caught by the curfew monitors hanging around nearby and fined, but he would find that he did not have a single gold hex on him, and would be thrown into jail again as a matter of course, until someone helped to pay the bail.
If Caitlyn helped, Wei might feel ashamed and save up money as soon as possible to pay it back.
If Enoch came forward to rescue the people, Wei felt that she would be so angry with Littlefinger that she would want to beat him up. Of course, due to anger and other mixed reasons, Wei was not prepared to pay back the money.
In case it was her own sister who replaced her, Wei thought it would be best for her to get a gun as quickly as possible and then kill herself.
So after Vi gritted her teeth and stayed at Caitlyn's house for two days, she finally accepted the policewoman's advice before bed - she was now a Piltover cop too.
At least he had a place to stay, even if the apartment assigned by the marshal was no match for the soft bed in Enoch's, let alone Caitlin's bedroom.
The dietary aspect was also partially resolved; unlimited coffee and donuts had already made her feel a little greasy.
Fortunately, the law enforcement officers were confined to the police station during these days, and Wei easily became acquainted with this group of people. Although a few of them did dislike each other, most of the law enforcement officers did not have too many prejudices.
After all, Wei had a good personality, and as a teammate, every law enforcement officer hoped that his partner was a tough guy who could fight and withstand attacks, especially in tense times like now. The few words she revealed about the upper echelons of Zaun dispelled the uneasiness of many law enforcement officers.
At least now they know that they will not be liquidated or lose their jobs. Although there may be a change in leadership, it is still a blessing in disguise.
"Attention everyone!" Marcos rushed to the office and brought some bad news.
He silently looked at the police officers standing in front of him, especially pausing for a moment on a certain pink-haired girl. He did not forget where the major events of this period started, especially since this girl was staring at him seriously, as if she wanted to punch him.
Thanks to her and the guy from Zaun, he himself wasn't thrown into jail now purely because the congressman was temporarily unable to take care of him, and the public security had been taken over by Losrian. If he were kicked out again, the entire police station would probably be in danger, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
Touching the blue bird amulet that his daughter had stuffed into his pocket before he left the house, Max prayed so devoutly that he would have a decent ending.
With a barely perceptible breath, Max announced the bad news to everyone: "Everyone put on your police uniforms and meet at the door on time at 2 pm..." He lowered his head and looked at the name on the paper that he had never heard of before.
"Head of Atlas Security, don't blame me for not reminding you. For the sake of your future, it's best to leave a good impression on him."
Chapter 101 The Young Lady Arrives
The weather is always good near Evolution Day, which means that at two o'clock in the afternoon, law enforcement officers have to line up in the sun to welcome strangers who come from nowhere.
Wei moved her body slightly uncomfortably. It was too much for her. Whether it was the silly blue top hat or the inexplicable white collar,
Wei swore that this was the first time since she was born that she had dressed so neatly.
"Stop moving," Caitlin grumbled softly as she bumped into her. Vi kept twisting and turning like a monkey.
"I don't want to either, but...ah, why should I come here to be a cop? I might as well be a thug under Enoch. At least I won't be basking in the sun like a fool." Wei sighed, and finally, when no one was paying attention, she secretly took off her collar flower.
Caitlin stared at Wei, who was smiling apologetically after realizing she had said the wrong thing. Her expression was very dangerous. "You mean to blame me for letting you become a law enforcer? You would rather degenerate than help me?"
"No, I mean... undercover. That's right. I can be your undercover. Next time if you want to catch Little Finger, I can help lead the way."
Catelyn was surprised. "You are really loyal to that 'Little Finger' Enoch. Don't forget, it was he who issued your pardon."
"Yeah," Wei complained, "I'm very grateful to him, and I know I wronged him, but he attacked my sister, and for that alone I'm going to kick his ass real hard."
"Hey, watch your words," Caitlin reminded Wei unhappily, looking at the watch on her wrist with boredom. "When exactly are they coming? Don't they have any sense of time?"
"Maybe... they are already here," Wei said, gently lifting Caitlin's chin with her knuckles, guiding the girl to look up at the sky in a daze.
The sound of propeller blades gradually approached, and four Huey helicopters equipped with machine guns and rockets descended towards the Law Enforcement Bureau square.
Before the helicopter landed, a rappelling rope was lowered. The blue-haired girl excitedly followed the rope to the ground first, and smiled at the group of law enforcement officers who were blown into a mess by the wind through her huge sunglasses.
When the scene quieted down, Jinx deliberately pulled her sleeves, flashing the Atlas logo to everyone in front of her, pulled out a blackboard stick that was hidden somewhere, and pretended to hit her other hand.
"I am the head of Atlas' security department. From now on, you can call me commander, instructor, or Lady Jinx. It's all fine."
Max almost jumped out of fright.
He knew exactly what the madman in front of him had done. For every ten times he went to downtown to clean up the mess, she was basically fighting gangs four times.
God knows how much trouble she can cause now that she has all these equipment and so many subordinates.
Max was already considering the possibility of quitting his job and running away. Even if he went to jail, it would be much better than staying in the same room with her.
"You look like... you don't want to see me very much?" Jinx raised her sunglasses and looked at her 'old acquaintance'
"No" Max rejected it immediately. He didn't want to do anything now. He just wanted to stay away from trouble.
"You're really good at pretending, Sheriff." Jinx laughed twice, and glanced at the pink-haired girl who seemed to be stunned and the blue-haired lady next to her.
Looking at Wei's surprised expression meaningfully, Jinx pulled out a pre-written speech from her pocket and said loudly to the whispering law enforcement officers: "The Atlas Security Department will be responsible for your weapons and equipment, daily training, and subsequent medical services. In addition to the additional waterway patrols in the future, you will mainly bear the important responsibility of protecting the safety of the people."
"It seems like someone really has high expectations for you, so...please introduce yourselves, starting with you." Jinx casually pointed at a police officer, and after listening to the self-introductions one by one, she casually turned to Wei.
"So, let me see who you are?"
Wei was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. She just opened her mouth slowly and squeezed out a tiny voice from between her teeth, "Baobao? Or Jinx?"
Jinx stared at her sister's stupid look with some dissatisfaction, looked at Wei's new outfit with dissatisfaction, and tapped the whip in her hand from time to time.
"Hmm." Wei hesitated for a moment, until Caitlin silently nudged her with her elbow, she finally reacted and said helplessly, "My name is Wei Aolai, I'm new here..."
"Speak louder, I can't hear you"
Wei stared at the expressionless girl for a while, then reluctantly shouted her name.
The people around could see that the newcomer in front of them didn't get along well with the airborne officer. Maybe they had some personal grudge?
"That's right, you should have spoken louder a long time ago." Jinx laughed, waved her pointer, flicked Wei's collar, and walked around Wei.
"Let me see... Tattoos, untidy clothes, so many mistakes on the first day, how should I punish him? Let me think... Ha, I'll just deduct half a month's salary first."
"What?" Wei was a little bit unbelievable. If half a month's salary was really deducted, she would have to ask Caitlyn or Littlefinger for help. So what on earth had she done after all this?
With a snort, Jinx temporarily gave up on tormenting Wei, took a step forward and stood in front of Kate.
Jinx put away the glasses on her forehead and stared at the Piltover girl in front of her with an expressionless face. She only tilted her head subtly when she heard her introduce herself.
Without saying anything, he just stared at the person with similar hair color in front of him for a while, then walked silently to the next person.
The following self-introductions were just a formality compared to the two men's process. All the law enforcement officers present understood that Wei and Caitlyn were going to be in big trouble.
"I have absolutely no idea what she's trying to do now," Wei complained silently as she watched Jinx's receding back.
"Maybe, she just wants you to pay attention to her? But her method is a bit childish."
"Childish?" Wei Meng turned around and looked at Caitlin. "Are you serious? And when did you start speaking for her?"
"No talking"
Before Caitlyn could answer, Jinx's voice came from behind. She glared at the two people who were whispering with dissatisfaction, and hit Vi's calf hard with the blackboard stick.
"Okay, little guys, now that we have a preliminary acquaintance, let's start training. There are less than two weeks until the Evolution Day. During this time, you need to adapt to the new equipment and learn how to coordinate with the infantry fighting vehicles and the air support. If necessary, you will practice rappelling."
"I'm looking forward to you being able to give people confidence on Evolution Day, instead of relying on the blue bird amulets that are all over the streets."
Chapter 102 Joint Action
After working with Jinx several times, the Atlas security personnel began to get used to her writing and felt quite knowledgeable. They distributed standard AR rifles and matching walkie-talkies to Piltover law enforcement officers as usual.
Jinx sat on the infantry fighting vehicle, swinging her braids, staring at the busy law enforcement officers below.
After that, this group of people will have a clear division of labor. The law enforcers, as familiar faces in Piltover, will continue to stabilize the situation in the upper city, while conflicts in Zaun and serious situations involving the two cities will be protected by Atlas.
Compared to the Huey helicopters and infantry fighting vehicles of the law enforcement officers, the standard equipment of the security team is the KV-2 and the Havoc armed helicopters, as well as the matching armor and explosive guns, which are enough to deal with most problems. In the future, members can be added from the law enforcement team and gradually become an army.
Yawning out of boredom, Jinx fiddled with the necklace around her neck. After thinking for a long time, she gave up the idea of calling Enoch.
“You don’t look happy”
"Little finger?" Hearing the familiar voice, Jinx sat up, looked around, and jumped towards Enoch with her arms open excitedly.
"I missed you. You have no idea how boring I was just now."
"I see you're having a good time with Wei." Enoch had to step forward and catch the flying Jinx, hugging the girl's slender body tightly with his arms.
"Don't mention it, you don't know how stupid she looks." Jinx buried her head in Littlefinger and made a muffled sound. "On the contrary, Caitlyn...she is very interesting. I want to have a good chat with her when I get a chance."
"You'd better not kill her, your sister will probably be very sad"
"I know, you always worry about trivial things." Jinx bit Enoch's ears twice in dissatisfaction, took the opportunity to slip behind Enoch, and climbed up skillfully.
"Because of your slander, you will have to carry me on your back from now on."
"With pleasure." Enoch gently supported his knees and walked towards the infantry fighting vehicle. The twin cities are now stable. The most important thing now is to restore order and welcome the Evolution Day.
The development in the past two weeks has been pretty good. The Glimmer Factory has gradually stopped production and switched to producing alchemical potions provided by Grask, which are supplied to the factories in Piltover and Zaun as fuel for alchemical technology. The factories under Enoch have also slightly reduced the scale of weapons production and switched to producing a large amount of technology that facilitates life.
If it weren't for the tacit agreement among everyone to secretly put the development of new weapons on the agenda, the Twin Cities would have looked like a model of friendly city-states.
Even though the citizens of both sides began to become somewhat antagonistic and more wary of each other, it was still a good start for Evolution Day.
………………
"Pirates? Where did they come from?"
Jinx sat behind the newly added desk in Littlefinger's office, curiously flipping through the files Tamara brought in.
"It is said that the unrest a while ago gave the pirates in Bilgewater an opportunity to take advantage of the situation... By the way, due to the unrest, many Shurima mercenaries have appeared in Zaun recently."
"How did they get in without Noxus?" Enoch was a little confused. How could Noxus ignore the pirates who harassed him? This was really a big joke. Those people wanted to rush up and chop off the heads of everyone who resisted them and kick them like balls.
"Maybe... they hid it well." Tamara gently pushed the blonde hair out of her eyes and reached out to sort out the documents on the table.
"Yeah, maybe they're not the only ones who hide well. I think you're pretty interesting too," Jinx muttered in dissatisfaction, "You didn't even knock when you entered this room?"
"I did make a report, maybe Miss Jinx didn't notice." Tamara smiled, picked up the sorted documents and walked out.
The door had barely closed when Jinx leaned over Enoch's desk, her hands on his shoulders, "I don't like her, I think there's something wrong with her, I promise I'm not jealous."
"I know," Enoch gently embraced the girl, "so I'm paying close attention to the documents on the table... Tamara is not a problem, but she was introduced by Steiner, which makes me more worried. I have to find out who she works for."
"Help me keep an eye on her." Leaning gently on the girl's belly, Enoch lay there for a while in Jinx's careful arms, then took a deep breath of the scent mixed with chamomile.
"How's the training going with the Enforcers? It's time for Atlas Security to take them out to show off to our latest guests."
"It's the Terrorist Squad," Jinx laughed and gently touched her forehead, "This is the new name I gave them."
"Don't you think the name is a little... offensive?"
"How about 'The Tip of the Caracalla Monkey'?"
"No, forget it." Enoch picked up the girl and walked towards the sofa. "The name of the Terrorist Mobile Team is very good. Let me praise you."
Over the next two days, the shores of Zaun and Piltover became bustling again. Equipment covered with waterproof cloth was fixed to the positions of coastal defense artillery, and helicopters began to conduct drills with full equipment in order to save every second.
Just when Jinx was getting a little impatient, news finally came from the coastline. Several ships with black sails and without any flags appeared near the Sun Gate.
The law enforcement officers have also assembled. Compared with the terrorist mobile team covered in black exoskeleton armor, the blue uniforms look a bit shabby, but the weapons of both sides are at the same level, and the helicopters they are equipped with are also equipped with additional rockets.
This was the first time that Enoch appeared in front of all the law enforcement officers. He bowed gently and introduced himself slowly, "Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies. I am Enoch from Losrian Company and your sponsor... This operation is a very important booster for the increasingly nervous people of the Twin Cities. We must win the first battle perfectly."
"The mission is simple. Capture the pirates. Considering that the target is close to the Sun Gate, in order to avoid collateral damage, we must first drive the pirates away and then conduct a weapon test of the coastal defense artillery."
After looking around at the elites selected for this battle, Enoch asked casually, "Any questions?"
He looked at the law enforcers with satisfaction, and they had no objections. The quality of Piltover's soldiers has improved a lot.
"It looks like everyone is alright, so get in position as quickly as possible. I'll be with you as your navigator."
Nodding, Enoch held onto Jinx, who couldn't wait to jump onto the helicopter, and turned to walk to the other side.
"Oh, let me go and play with them too. I don't want to sit in the office anymore. Please, little finger... How about you just lie down and don't move tonight?"
"What are you thinking about?" He tapped Jinx's head dissatisfiedly, "I'll go with you."
With the help of the ground crew, the waterproof cloth was removed, revealing the MI-28 Havoc helicopter equipped with an additional spherical radar.
"We're going to be the eyes this time, so you have to come with me."
Chapter 103: Lucky Pirate
Fokke is an excellent sailor, a greedy sea rat, who has a talent beyond ordinary people, that is, he can always seek benefits and avoid harm, and then get the biggest share.
Others were jealous of his good fortune, but he would always retort, shaking his jingling money bag and saying that it was the blessing of the Snake Mother.
He was the son of a fisherman, and with this luck he became a harpooner, escaping from the mouths of huge sea beasts time and time again.
With this talent, he managed to carve out a niche at the slaughterhouse, had something to brag about, and accumulated some savings.
He never forgot that he was just an ordinary harpooner, so every time before going out to sea, no matter who his captain was, he would throw a coin into the sea as his share of the tithe.
So he didn't get into any trouble, and gradually, he became more and more famous among the sea hunters and became a rare deep-sea hunter with a great reputation.
