Chapter 248 [0246] Law Enforcement Officers in Action

The Zaunites moved in an orderly manner.

By comparison, Piltover was a mess.

Although Caitlin immediately began to mobilize the law enforcement officers to assemble a team after discovering the problem, but after learning that the Noxians were coming, the number of law enforcement officers who were willing to follow her to form a team was less than half-and even the half were willing. Most of those who followed Caitlin and stayed at their posts were fighting with their legs and almost wanting to leave first.

That's all because the entire team is Caitlin.

If it were any other law enforcement officer, I'm afraid there wouldn't be half of them willing to take up arms and stand at their posts.

Although the number of law enforcement officers gathered was insufficient, Caitlin was still not depressed. Her life as a law enforcement officer made her gradually learn to accept reality and self-release. Although she was very dissatisfied with the reactions of these law enforcement officers, at least... at least there were still people who were willing. Stay at your post!

After these law enforcement officers buttoned up their coats, packed 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 law enforcement officer's queue and shouted loudly, "According to the law enforcement officer's manual, we must run now to the north of the city to stop the enemy! Now, everyone obeys: turn right - run! "

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. A few of them even shook their heads helplessly and turned around. Just leave.

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

"Go where we should be!"

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

"Prioritize the defense of Lanxun Manor in an emergency."

"That's right!" Caitlin nodded, "I will be the first -"

"Yes, that is 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 law enforcement manual requires-"

"Because the one who compiles the manual lives in Lanxun Manor!" This time, the person who spoke walked out of the team with his head held high and faced Caitlin directly, "But we are not, we are just law enforcement officers who make a living in North City. Not an inch of land!"

Caitlin looked at the familiar face in front of her in astonishment - this was one of the team captains under her command, and a person she was very optimistic about. In her plan, when she was promoted to sergeant, he should be her The successor to the current position.

But now, this person whom she was extremely optimistic about had spoken to her without hesitation, words that were completely unbecoming of a law enforcement officer.

"You are a respectable leader." Seeing the shock on Caitlin's face, the other party couldn't help but shook her head, "But it's a pity that you are as clean as a petal that has never fallen to the ground. do not understand anything!"

"..."

"Do you think you are the only one who wants to be a perfect law enforcement officer? Are you the only one who is brave? Are you the only one who is incorruptible?" Since the other party has already spoken, let's just get to the bottom of it, "That's because your surname is Gila Mann and you don't have to support your family. Don’t worry about future promotion!”

"..."

"Law enforcer? Protecting fairness and justice? Bullshit!" The more he spoke, the more excited he became. The face of the law enforcer, who was several years older than Caitlin, turned red, and his whole person seemed like an exploding Hex crystal. "The entire Piltover Husband, who the hell doesn’t know that the law enforcement officer is the dog of the big shots in Lanxun Manor——"

"no……"

"It's a pity that I'm not a real dog, and the bastards of Lanxun Manor are not worthy of me abandoning my family to protect them." Looking at the helpless Caitlin, the other party seemed a little discouraged, "Miss Caitlin, you are different from them, we We all respect you and believe in you... Maybe ten years from now, when you are no longer so naive, if you can still be as clean as you are now, then the ranks of Piltover's law enforcement officers will also become clean. "

"..."

"We believe in you and are willing to stand by your side, but that's all." In Caitlin's silence, the other party sighed, "The big shots have private guards and don't need us little guys to work hard. Compared to North City, I care more about our own home - now, everyone, turn left and run!"

The officers followed his orders, turned left, and ran away in front of Caitlin toward their own neighborhood.

Only a few people remained where they were - they were either single, or they couldn't really give up on Caitlin, so they were just frozen in place.

At this moment, Caitlin's mind went blank.

She instinctively wanted the law enforcement officers to disobey the law enforcement regulations, but she couldn't speak when she saw their backs leaving.

As those familiar colleagues broke up with her, Caitlin finally realized clearly for the first time that the so-called regulations and rules were not necessarily fair and reasonable in themselves.

As the daughter of a congressman, Caitlin became an outlier in the circle around her because she strictly abided by Piltover's laws and rules.

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 officer regulations.

She always believed that her persistence was correct and that only by strictly following the rules could 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 meant completely different things to different people.

Some people followed the rules just to maintain their eating manners and not to be too reckless.

And some people followed the rules just to shed blood and sweat for others.

In the past, Caitlin always regarded the laws and rules of Piltover as insurmountable standards, but because she subconsciously stood from her own perspective, she never clearly realized that even the same laws and rules were completely unfair to different people.

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

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

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

"Then let's make the black and white range as wide as possible."

Wei's relaxed and matter-of-fact tone seemed to appear in Caitlin's ears again.

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

But just as the black and white range can be made as wide as possible, laws and rules can also be amended!

Maybe when necessary, I should also take some flexible measures!

Thinking of this, Caitlin finally cheered up again.

"Everyone, if anyone wants to go home and be with their family, then move freely!" She straightened her chest again, "If you still want to believe me, then follow me-we will not go to the Blue Xun Manor to fight the Noxians head-on, we will go to the academy and fully arm ourselves first!"

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

And behind her, the remaining law enforcement officers finally set off after a moment of doubt and followed her footsteps.

Karya's Little Classroom: The Laws of Piltover:

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