Chapter 499 Goodbye Jill Is Not What It Used to Be
Jill Valentine, the current police chief of Huiyao City, is also the most vocal candidate for the next mayor. As a hero who saved the city with practical actions during the outbreak of the Resident Evil crisis in Laken City, Jill undoubtedly won the support of most of the original Laken City residents.
In addition, after she became the top leader of the Huiyao City Police, she has been law enforcement impartially and severely cracked down on the remaining biochemical monsters and illegal phenomena. At the same time, it can maintain a good balance between humans and mutants, so that she not only has a lot of prestige among humans, but also has many supporters among mutants.
Both humans and mutants believe that if she is elected as the next mayor of Radiance City, the city will take a step forward in a better direction. This is what she herself thinks so. However, this kind of thinking was in the past, and now, she is beginning 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 Supreme Court incident broke out, she could still sit safely in this city controlled by Zhou Yi. In the name of executing the justice in his heart, he came to serve this city belonging to Zhouyi.
However, after that, she realized that this excuse no longer made sense. What the Dawn Knight has done in the Supreme Court has obviously broken her definition of justice, just like the vast majority of human beings, in Jill's eyes, the Dawn Knight has fallen, when he began to trample the country's Righteousness and law, he has fallen.
He is no longer the embodiment of justice, and it is even said that he has become evil and exists like a devil. And under such circumstances, how could one who serves the Demon King put the crown of justice on his head?
Jill is an upright temperament, otherwise he would not have taken the road against Umbrella because he wanted to avenge his comrade-in-arms. And it was because of this character that she began to doubt her own worth, and she began to doubt whether what she was doing was right or wrong, and whether she should continue.
Sometimes, she really wants to let go of everything in this city. End all troubles in your heart with a letter of resignation. But whenever she thought of this, she couldn't help but hesitate. Some things aren't so easy to throw away, especially when those things get to the point of being unforgettable.
This distress has plagued Jill for not a day or two. Although on weekdays, she is still the cool and tough director. But when she got to her home again, she took off her mask and started drinking spirits recklessly, using stimulating alcohol to numb her troubled heart.
Just like today. Jill, who had just come from the police station to his home, opened the refrigerator door as soon as he closed the door. He didn't even bother to change his uniform, so he began to watch the spirits in his mouth.
That rough drinking method made her face redden with naked eyes.
And after a few sips of spirits, she became dazed and fell on the sand.
She started to cry, she started to laugh. The whole person seems to be caught in their own memories and emotions. And even like this, she still held the wine bottle tightly in her hand and refused to let go of it at all. Spirits have become the most indispensable thing for her now, and this is the only thing. To make her forget her inner troubles.
Although it was only temporary, it was enough for her. On nights like this, it was normal for her to spend the last hours of the day in this way of anesthetizing herself. She thought it was the same today, but a knock on the door suddenly broke into her world, breaking the peace she had finally found.
"Who is it? Who is outside?" Reluctantly opening his dazed eyes, Jill shouted in the direction of the door, but quietly stretched out his hand to his waist. When her hand touched a huge and delicate revolver firmly planted in the holster behind her, her whole body seemed to have a little more strength out of thin air. He started to walk staggeringly towards the door.
"Ask me, who's out there? I know someone is there, speak to me!"
"Jill, it's me! I have something to talk to you about!" After a moment. Zhou Yi's voice came from outside the door. But hearing this voice, Jill immediately opened the door.
I saw Zhou Yi's tall figure standing there upright under the dim light of the porch, making her feel like she was dreaming.
"It's you, Zhou Yi? How is that possible? I think I must have been drinking too much!"
Jill couldn't believe what she saw at all, she muttered. As he passed his body, he planned to close the door and continue his drunken behavior. But at this time, Zhou Yi, who he thought was his own illusion, spoke up.
"Is that how you treat your old friend, Jill? Or are you really drinking so much that you can't even tell the difference between what you're seeing and what's real? But yes, I remember the last time I came to your house. You were like this when you were drunk, and you were in a mess. I even gave you a bath and changed your clothes!"
"Shut up for me!" Jill yelled angrily when he heard such a shameful black history. But because of this, she was sure that what she saw was not an illusion, but a real existence. This made her complexion instantly change, becoming cold and stiff. "It's really you, so late, what are you doing with me?"
"Can you let me in? I don't think the relationship between the two of us is enough for me to talk to you while the cold wind blows!"
The expression on Jill's face is undoubtedly very familiar to Zhou Yi. Looking at this familiar expression, he smiled slightly and said to Jill.
"Come in." Still with that icy look, Jill didn't completely shut Zhou Yi out, but let him go into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Yi saw a scene that he was very familiar with. The table is full of empty wine bottles scattered around, and even clothes and shoes are thrown everywhere, so sloppy it is almost impossible to imagine that this is a woman's residence. But this is Jill's style. She has never been the kind of little woman who dresses at home. Compared with housework, gunpowder and weapons are her favorite.
"Jill, you really haven't changed at all. You're already the director, but you still don't even bother to clean up where you live."
"This has nothing to do with you, don't make me babble!"
His face suddenly turned red, but it was concealed by the pure color after drinking. Facing Zhou Yi's teasing, Jill pretended to be calm and sat down on the private clothes that he had thrown on the sand. He said rudely to him.
"Don't tell me you're here to find me just to make fun of my habits."
"Of course not, but I think it's necessary for me, as your friend, to remind you. Jill, shouldn't you find a boyfriend. If it goes on like this, it's not very good for your body!"
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Jill's heart immediately felt sour. She forcibly endured this unpleasant mood, and said to Zhou Yi with a still and cold expression on her face.
"If you're here to tell me this crap, I think you can go. I've got work to do tomorrow, and I don't have time for this kind of crap right now!"
"Okay, let's get down to business!" With a wry smile, Zhou Yi also sat down. He found an empty glass on the messy coffee table and poured himself a glass of wine. While telling Jill about his purpose. "I think Ada should have told you something. About those mutant SWATs from New York."
"You want to put them in my police station and let them work like other police officers?" As soon as Zhou Yi opened his mouth, Jill guessed what he meant. She smiled coldly, a disdainful smile on her face. "Zhou Yi, what do you mean when you are a police station? Is it your personal armed force? Do you think you can decide everything in this city on behalf of everyone?"
"Jill, I don't have any personal interests on this issue!" Pouring the wine from the glass into his mouth, Zhou Yi also began to narrow his eyes slightly. "I just want to give those young people a chance to continue their dreams, but also to give all mutants a chance! I believe in those young people who can bring justice to this city."
"Enough, Zhou Yi. Don't forget, you are no longer the incarnation of justice. Now you are not qualified to say such things!" Jill raised his eyebrows, and his voice rose immediately. "Don't talk about justice, especially don't use the name of justice to explain all your actions!"
"Jill, you're drinking too much. This has nothing to do with what you think!"
"Why not?" With a snap, Jill pressed the huge revolver onto the table from behind his waist. 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 person I used to know? Is it the guy who saved me and the city? Do you still have justice in your heart now?"
"Jill!" Hearing Jill's questioning, Zhou Yi's anger began to soar. But when he saw the stubbornness on Jill's face and the revolver that she was holding tightly in her hand, all his anger quickly subsided.
He remembered such a Jill. In that bar, she looked at herself with such eyes and told herself that she wanted to avenge her comrades-in-arms, even if she was the only one who had to fight in the name of justice.
And he remembers the revolver even more, on the night when the Resident Evil crisis exploded. He used this weapon to accompany her on the road to save the city. He remembered giving the revolver to Jill later on. But she didn't expect that until this time, she still kept this weapon and kept it by her side all the time.
Jill seems to be still the same Jill, but he is no longer the one he used to be. This realization suddenly made Zhou Yi lose his mind.
"I think I should go, I'm sorry, Jill. Excuse me! And... drink less." (To be continued.)
