Chapter 499: Goodbye Jill It's not what it used to be
Jill. Valentine, the city's current police chief, is also the most vocal candidate for the next mayoral term. As a hero who saved the city during the Resident Evil outbreak in Laeken, Jill undoubtedly had to win the support of most of the original Laken residents.
In addition, after she became the top leader of the Huiyao City police, she has been impartially enforcing the law, severely cracking down on the remaining biochemical monsters and illegal phenomena. At the same time, she can maintain a good balance between humans and mutants, making her not only have a lot of prestige among humans, but also have many supporters among mutants.
Both humans and mutants believe that if she is elected as the next mayor of Radiant City, the city will take a leap forward for the better. That's what she thinks herself. However, this thought was in the past, and now, she began to hesitate.
Jill is not a fool, she has been in this position for so long, she has already noticed Zhou Yi's true identity from the slightest clues. Before the outbreak of the Supreme Court incident, she could still sit peacefully in this city controlled by Zhou Yi. In the name of enforcing the justice in his heart, he will serve this city that belongs to Zhouyi.
However, after that, she found that this excuse no longer makes sense. The Knight of the Dawn had clearly broken her definition of justice in the Supreme Court, and like the vast majority of human beings, the Knight of the Dawn had fallen in Jill's eyes, and he had fallen when he began to trample on the justice and laws of the country.
He is no longer the embodiment of justice. It is even said that he has become evil, like a demon king. And in this case. How can you who serve the demon king hang the crown of justice on your head?
Jill is an upright man. Otherwise, he would not have embarked on the road of fighting against Ambrera because he wanted to avenge his comrades. And it is precisely because of this character that she began to doubt her own worth, began to doubt whether what she did was right or wrong, and whether she should continue.
Sometimes, she really wants to let go of everything in this city and end all the troubles in her heart with a letter of resignation. But whenever the thought came to her, she couldn't help but hesitate. Some things are not so easy to throw away. Especially when those things have reached the point of being unforgettable.
This distress has plagued Jill for more than a day or two, although on weekdays, she is still the cold and tough director. But when she returned to her own home, she took off her mask and began to drink spirits unscrupulously, numbing her distressed heart with the stimulant alcohol.
Just like today, as soon as Jill returned to his home from the police station, he opened the refrigerator door as soon as he closed the door, and he didn't even bother to change the uniform on his body, so he directly began to look at the liquor in his mouth.
The rough way of drinking made her face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye. And when a few sips of spirits are down. She began to get dazed and fell headlong onto the couch.
She started crying. Start laughing. The whole person seems to be caught up in his own memories and emotions. And even so, she still clutched the bottle tightly in her hand, refusing to let go of it at all. Spirits have become the most indispensable thing for her now, and only this thing can make her forget the troubles in her heart.
Although it is only temporary, it is enough for her. On nights like this, she was used to spending the last hours of the day in this way of anesthetizing herself. She thought it would be the same today, but a knock on the door suddenly burst into her world, shattering the peace she had so hard to find.
"Who is it? Who's out there? Reluctantly opening her misty eyes, Jill shouted in the direction of the door, but quietly reached for her lower back. When her hand touched a large, delicate revolver firmly in the holster behind her, she began to stagger towards the gate as if she had gained some strength out of thin air.
"Answer me quickly, who's out there? I know there's somebody, talk to me! ”
"Jill, it's me! There's something I'd like to talk to you about! A moment later, Zhou Yi's voice came in from outside the door. Hearing this, Jill immediately opened the door.
I saw that under the dim porch light, Zhou Yi's tall figure was standing there so straight, making her feel as if she was in a dream.
"Is that you, Zhou Yi? How can it be? I think I must have drunk too much! ”
Jill didn't believe what she was seeing, and she muttered to herself as she turned around, intending to close the door and continue her drunken behavior. But at this time, Zhou Yi, who he thought was his illusion, spoke.
"Is that how you treated your old friend, Jill? Or are you really drinking too much and can't even tell whether what you're seeing is real or fake? But yes, I remember the last time I came to your house, you were like this, drunk and messy. Even the clothes I bathed and changed for you! ”
"Shut up!" Suddenly hearing such a shameful black history, Jill immediately screamed in annoyance. But because of this, she was sure that what she was seeing in front of her was not an illusion, but a real existence. This made her face change immediately, and she became cold and stiff. "It's really you, it's so late, what are you coming to me for?"
"Can you let me in? I don't think the relationship between the two of us is enough for me to talk to you about things while blowing a cold wind! ”
The expression on Jill was undoubtedly very familiar to Zhou Yi, looking at this familiar expression, he smiled slightly and said to Jill.
"Come in." Still with that cold look, Jill didn't completely turn Zhou Yi away, but gave up a position so that he could walk into the house.
As soon as he walked into the room, Zhou Yi saw a scene he was very familiar with. The table was littered with empty wine bottles, and even clothes and shoes were thrown everywhere, so sloppy that it was almost impossible to imagine that this was a woman's residence. But that's Jill's style, she's never been the little woman who dresses at home, and gunpowder and weapons are her favorites compared to housework.
"Jill, you really haven't changed at all. I'm already the director, but I still don't bother to clean up where I live. ”
"This has nothing to do with you, don't give me a crooked twitter!"
His face turned red suddenly, but it was hidden by the pure color of the drunkenness. In the face of Zhou Yi's teasing, Jill pretended to be calm and sat down on the private clothes he discarded on the sofa. Said unceremoniously to him.
"Don't tell me you came here to make fun of my habits."
"Of course not, it's just that I think I, as your friend, need to be reminded. Jill, shouldn't you get a boyfriend? If it goes on like this, it's not too good for your body! ”
Listening to Zhou Yi's words, Jill immediately felt a sour feeling in his heart. She endured this uncomfortable mood, and always maintained a cold look on her face, and said to Zhou Yi.
"If you're here to talk this nonsense to me, I think you can go back. I still have work to do tomorrow and don't have time to say this nonsense now! ”
"Alright, get down to business!" With a wry smile, Zhou Yi also sat down. He found an empty cup from a messy coffee table and poured himself a glass of wine. While telling Jill what he was coming to. "I think Ada should tell you something. About those mutant SWAT officers from New York. ”
"You want to put them in my police station and let them work like any other cop?" As soon as Zhou Yi spoke, Jill guessed what he meant. She smiled coldly, a disdainful smile on her face. "Zhou Yi, what are you doing as a police station? Is it your private armed forces? Do you decide everything in the city on behalf of everyone? ”
"Jill, I don't have any personal interest in this matter!" Pouring the wine from the wine glass into his mouth in one go, Zhou Yi also began to squint his eyes slightly. "I just want to give those young people a chance to continue their dreams, and also give all mutants a chance! I believe in the young people who can bring justice to this city. ”
"Enough, Zhou Yi. Don't forget, you're no longer the embodiment of justice. Now you are not qualified to say such things! Jill raised her eyebrows, and her voice immediately raised. Don't talk about justice, and especially don't explain everything you do in the name of justice! ”
"Jill, you've drunk too much. It has nothing to do with what you're thinking! ”
"Why not?" With a snap, Jill pressed the huge revolver from behind his waist to the table. And she herself was like an angry female leopard, her eyes widened, and she stared at Zhou Yi viciously. "Tell me, Zhou Yi. Are you still the same person I used to know? Is it the guy who saved me, saved the city? Do you still have justice in your heart now? ”
"Jill!" Listening to Jile's questioning, the anger in Zhou Yi's heart also began to soar. But when he saw the stubbornness on Jill's face and the revolver she was holding in her hand, all his anger quickly subsided.
He remembered that Jill was in that bar, and she looked at herself like this, telling herself that she was going to avenge her comrades, even if she was the only one, to fight in the name of justice.
And he remembered the revolver even more, on the night when the Resident Evil broke out. It was with this weapon that he accompanied her on the road to save the city. He remembered that later, he gave the revolver to Jill. But she didn't expect that until this time, she still kept this weapon and kept it by her side.
Jill seems to be still the same Jill, but he is no longer the same self he used to be. This realization suddenly made Zhou Yiyi excited.
"I think I should go, I'm sorry, Jill. Excuse me! And drink less. (To be continued.) )
