Chapter 72 A Funeral

The next morning.

A beam of warm sunlight slowly shone on the floor of the bedroom.

It also dispelled the wisp of black mist that hadn't dissipated in the midair.

The light seemed to have pierced an invisible barrier.

The noise of the city from outside the window gradually reached Luo Xia's ears.

He opened his eyes dazedly.

"hiss--"

Rorschach, who was not yet fully awake, took a breath.

He frowned and raised his palm.

A few fingertips pressed hard on the temple.

Trying to ease the tingling pain that came from deep in the brain.

Soon after.

Grinning his teeth, Rorschach woke up completely.

He slowly got up and sat cross-legged on the bed.

A puzzled expression appeared on Rorschach's face, and he muttered to himself:

"Am I catching a cold? Could it be that with my current physique, I can't resist those common minor ailments?"

With helplessness in his eyes, Rorschach jumped off the bed.

He walked quickly to the desk.

Reaching out and rummaging through a pile of sundries, I found a bottle of painkillers that hadn't expired.

Rorschach doesn't even use water.

He directly threw a few painkillers in his mouth, chewed dryly, and swallowed hard.

After a few minutes, it seemed that the medicine had kicked in.

The tingling sensation from the depths of Rorschach's brain gradually weakened.

Eventually disappeared.

"call--"

Rorschach, who barely recovered, let out a breath slowly.

There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He stood still and moved his body.

Wait until the back is slightly sweaty.

Rorschach turned and walked out of the bedroom.

At this moment, the gradually rising light hit the floor of the living room through the glass of the kitchen.

Right above the sofa in the living room.

The aunt who had changed into a black dress was looking in the mirror.

Constantly taking care of the short hair on the head.

After she heard the sound of the door opening.

Subconsciously lifted the face with the hydrating mask on it.

Immediately afterwards, the aunt with a slightly rounded chin stared at Rorschach who was standing still and twisting her neck.

Can't help frowning.

She put the mirror on her lap, and shaking the comb in the other hand, said aloud:

"Stinky boy, what time is it, why did you wake up? I'm going to call you... why don't you hurry up and take a shower?"

Hear my aunt's words.

Rorschach, who was moving his body, turned his head to look at the clock hanging in the living room.

He blinked his eyes and said helplessly:
"Auntie, it's only nine o'clock, even if it's later, it won't delay the time..."

However, I heard Rorschach's little complaint.

Stab it!

The aunt who frowned tightly tore off the mask on her face.

With a serious expression, she raised the comb in her hand, pointed at Rorschach and said:

"Have you forgotten all the etiquette I taught you when you were young?"

"This is a funeral!"

"It's still your friend Mike, the funeral of his deceased brother!"

The aunt who has always been more conniving towards Rorschach's behavior is uncharacteristically.

Both her tone and attitude have obviously increased a lot.

However, before the angry aunt started her serial chatter.

Rorschach, who seemed to be aching in the depths of his brain once again, quickly raised the French military salute.

Signal surrender.

He took a deep breath, looked at his aunt with a bad expression and begged for mercy:
"Auntie, I was wrong! I'll go wash up right away!"

Then, the tall Rorschach rushed into the bathroom like a bull.

Five minutes later, a refreshed Rorschach stood in front of his aunt wearing a black tracksuit.

The expressionless aunt dropped the comb in her hand.

She squinted her eyes and looked Rorschach up and down for a few times.

The aunt who pursed her lips couldn't help but rolled her eyes:
"For the sake of your rapid physical development, I don't care about the etiquette of dressing with you. As for your taste in choosing clothes, I don't even bother to talk to you..."

"Okay then, let's go."

My aunt quickly stood up from the sofa.

Rorschach bent slightly with a smile on his lips.

He stuck out his elbow to his aunt.

"Honorable aunt, can you invite me first?"

The aunt who couldn't laugh or cry took Luo Xia's thick arm.

She tilted her head up.

He said to Luo Xia earnestly:

"I'm warning you... Be more serious at the funeral, don't be ashamed, understand?"

"Understood, understood! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
-
Two in the afternoon.

Public cemetery in Harlem.

Mike's brother's funeral took place as scheduled.

Not many people came, they were all Mike's friends or family relatives and neighbors in the community.

The tall Rorschach was standing under the shade of a tree with his expressionless aunt.

At this time, Rorschach heard the heart-piercing cry of Mike's mother.

He looked at Big Mouth Mike not far away, holding back his grief.

Constantly appease the mother's collapsed emotions.

Rorschach subconsciously took a deep breath.

His face maintained an indescribable solemnity from beginning to end.

Just before the funeral begins.

Rorschach learned some news from Mike.

That is, the federal government has ordered the New York Police Department and the FBI and many other departments to close the case hastily.

Whether it is the dead Jerry, or more mutilated missing children.

All defined by a cold official document.

At the same time, as long as the family members of the deceased receive compensation due to humanitarian donations.

It automatically loses the right to continue to investigate the truth of the case.

However, due to the mental state of the mother and the financial pressure of the shy pocket.

Big Mouth Mike finally chose the unreasonable conditions of the federal government.

He is just an ordinary poor man with a broken family.

Facing the federal government, there is no way to even struggle...

After about half an hour.

Accompanied by the voice of a black priest chanting.

The crowd watching the funeral bid farewell to each other and dispersed one after another.

Rorschach and her aunt decline Mike's offer to invite them to a family dinner.

Either Aunt or Rorschach.

Mike, who was unwilling to look haggard, persisted.

After saying goodbye to each other.

The silent Rorschach stared at Mike's gradually bent back.

And he hugged his mother's arm tightly, and sighed slowly.

"Ugh……"

At the same time, Luo Xia, who was squinting his eyes, subconsciously looked at his aunt beside him.

He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"Aunt... have you ever thought about leaving this damn place? I mean this country."

Maybe Rorschach's question was too sudden.

Aunt was slightly taken aback.

She lifted her slightly rounded chin.

A pair of reddish eyes stared at Rorschach:

"Why? You kid feels that your wings are hardened and your skills are great. You are going to abandon your aunt, right?"

Before the words were finished, the aunt who was pretending to be angry stretched out her fingers and pinched Luo Xia's muscular arm.

Although Rorschach felt no pain about it.

But in order to avoid continuing to irritate my aunt.

He still forcibly changed the subject.

"Oh, aunt, I just asked casually... In order to make up for my verbal mistakes, I invite you to watch a movie and have a big meal!"

Rorschach said with a hippie smile.

"That's what you said, my aunt didn't force you..."

The smiling aunt seemed to have forgotten the topic just now.

She patted Rorschach's arm and said with a smile:

"Come on, boy, do I know where the most expensive restaurant in Harlem is!"
