As a player of "League of Legends", Piltover and Zaun are no strangers. The story of "The Battle of Two Cities" also begins here.

Piltover and Zaun were once a single city. Later, after social development, the upper-level council city used the blasting plan to separate a city into two parts. The upper city is Piltover, and the lower city, after experiencing major disasters, still retains the name of Zaun, but the living conditions are poor, including poverty, disease, and environmental pollution.

Due to the wealth gap between the upper class and the lower class, the contradiction between the two cities has become increasingly irreconcilable. At this time, Vandel rose up against Piltover. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. During this war, Fandel, as the leader, accidentally saved two sisters, Wei and Bangbao, who lost their parents due to the war.

And Wei and Bangbao are also the protagonists of the subsequent story of "The Battle of Two Cities".

Because I lost my parents when I was young. Wei has been Bao Bao's only support since she was a child. And Wei's image is also that of a very trustworthy eldest sister with full force points. Fighting hard on the battlefield, she can always silence her enemies with her iron fist and charge into battle. At a young age, he is already quite famous in Zaun.

But she ignored one thing. Another reason why she and Bakubo were running rampant in the underground society of Zaun was that they were both protected by the underground leader Fandel.

As time goes by, Wei gradually grows up, and she gradually becomes dissatisfied with the oppression of Piltover, the upper class society.

Therefore, the proud and arrogant Wei accidentally caused an explosion in the upper class society and became the fuse of conflicts between the upper and lower cities. In order to protect the two sisters, Fandel's approach of keeping things quiet also aroused the dissatisfaction of the underground people. Even Vi thinks Fander is too weak.

The young and energetic Wei did not obey Fandel's warning. Provoking another villain from the underworld: Silko.

Finding himself behind bars, Fandel rushes to save Vi. The result was an unexpected and indiscriminate explosion. Not only did it not harm Hilko, it actually killed two of his companions at the same time. In the explosion, Fander was seriously injured trying to protect Vi.

In this underground civil war between Hilko and Vandel. She was unable to defeat an enemy stronger than her, nor could she protect Fandel. She even watched Fandel fall in front of her in order to protect her. Wei tasted the powerlessness of her fist.

She is the protagonist of the story, but she has no ability to turn the tide. Vi, who was furious, saw Bakuo causing the indiscriminate explosion, so he went up and punched Bakubo directly. But she didn't know that Bao Bao was actually trying to protect her. It's a pity that she failed to grasp the timing of the explosion.

This was the first time Wei left Bao Bao behind and walked away alone. In this war, Wei was the biggest loser. Not only did she lose her adoptive father, Fander, but she also lost her only sister, Explosion.

A few years later, Wei and Bao Bao have grown up. At this time, Wei spent time in prison because of the war. But Bangbao changed his name to "Jinx".

Because Wei once said to her "Because you are jinx (you are a scourge)", and the English word for scourge is "jinx (Jinx)"

and it exploded Also named after this, it can be seen how much damage Wei's original words caused to the young Bakubo.

After being released from prison, Wei wanted to find her lost sister. She arrived all the way directly to the underground world. She thought that Bao Bao was still the weak child Ying Ying.

Jinx learns that Vi has arrived in the Underworld. She took the initiative to light up the signal smoke that Wei had given her when she was a child. Vi told her at the time that "as long as she puts up the smoke, she will get there." This is Jinx taking the initiative to look for Wei. In fact, in Jinx's heart, Wei has always occupied a very important emotional position.

And Wei also came after seeing the smoke. After many years, the two sisters finally met. If Wei can seize the opportunity this time, she can definitely take Jinx away. It will not lead to Jinx's subsequent direct darkening. However, because of Caitlin, Vi made Jinx suspect that she had been replaced by Caitlin, and she no longer had a place in Wei's heart, causing Jinx to go berserk.

This is the first time Vi has missed an opportunity to save Jinx.

The second time the two sisters met in the underground world was on the bridge leading to Piltover. At that time, Ike and Caitlin planned to return the Hex gems they obtained to the Parliament to negotiate with the Parliament.

At this time, Jinx believed Silko's words and thought that Caitlin was going to take Vi away. And Vi wants to abandon herself again and return to Piltover. She found Vi, not only to get back the Hex Stone, but also to prove her status in Wei's heart. At this time, if Vi could be more decisive and put Caitlin down, she would immediately come back to find Jinx, or take Jinx away directly. There is still a chance to save it again.

In this encounter on the bridge, Wei was too cowardly. She barely talks. Completely ignoring the fight between Jinx and Ike. She completely failed to assume the functions that a big sister should have.

In the end, Jinx’s bomb was another indiscriminate explosion. But nearly blew himself up, while Ike was only slightly injured.

In my opinion, this bomb is a sign of Jinx's frustration. She felt that Wei walked away in front of her and left her behind again. Maybe she really wanted to die at this moment. Because of this injury, Jinx was implanted with a shimmering potion by alchemy. It might be like the Joker being pushed into a chemical pool. Jinx was also transformed by alchemy to become even crazier.

Vi had never really tried to understand how Jinx had changed over the years.

This is also Vi's second chance to save Jinx.

Jinx and Vi’s third meeting. It was Jinx who kidnapped him.

Perhaps Jinx knew that Vi would never take the initiative to come back to her again. Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two sisters gradually deteriorated step by step. But at this moment, Wei could only say "I'm sorry", there was nothing she could do.

Jinx asked Vi to choose a chair with "Jinx" and "Boom" written on it, and let Jinx sit down. But Wei was unable to make a choice. This choice is actually not difficult, but Wei has been unable to answer.

This shows that Wei, who is tied to the dining table at this moment, is not only cowardly, but also afraid of Jinx.

She is at a loss and even needs "Cake" Caitlin to help her escape.

Vi's words flickered, causing Jinx to go completely berserk and accidentally kill Silko. At this time, Jinx chose to take the position of "Jinx".

The sister she once thought she could protect is now so hysterical that it scares her.

In the process of Jinx's blackening three times, Weidu was unable to help. Even pushing Jinx into the abyss step by step. Wei talks about her love for Jinx. In my opinion, it is actually more like a "lie". It is Wei's vowed words that make Jinx believe it, and this kind of belief-like existence Something that ultimately drove Jinx to a mental breakdown, if that completely insane clown.

If Vi can be more decisive, especially if she can hold on to Jinx during the second encounter on the bridge, I think she can turn the tide.

Throughout the series, Vi was horrified as a child as she watched her parents die in the war.

During the war between Hilko and Fandel, she watched Fandel fall in a pool of blood, heartbroken and screaming.

When trying to save his sister Jinx, he was indecisive. Watching Jinx gradually turn dark and violent, he was helpless. Maybe Wei's belief is not strong enough, so she can't be firm.

Perhaps Wei is the most painful character in "The Battle of Two Cities". She wanted to change the status quo of Zaun at the bottom, but was unable to resist the council. She believed that she could change the world with her fists, but in the end, she couldn't even protect her loved ones. Wei is worthy of sympathy, but also hateful. It was she who provoked all the disputes, but was unable to rely on her own strength to resolve these disputes and conflicts, so she paid a lot of price. Her relatives have left one after another, and she is helpless and has been living in self-blame.

Bangbao is already dead, and those who survive will suffer the most.

Nami has a line: "How can I be saved even though I am in trouble?"

Perhaps Wei herself is Kuang Lan, so she cannot be saved. She is not strong enough in faith to turn the tide and save the situation. All the pain can only be borne by her alone. This is Wei's tragic and elegy.
