Chapter 92 The secret of the predecessor, the inexplicable kindness

"I was very nervous at the time, wondering if he was..." When Su Xueqi said this, she suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Rorschach was a little surprised.

"Why don't you just watch it, boss?" Su Xueqi suggested.

It was only after Su Xueqi reminded Luo Xia that Su Xueqi, as his attendant, could indeed show him the memory directly.

If you look at it directly, it must be clearer than a simple description.

"Okay." Rorschach nodded.

Su Xueqi heard the words, immediately closed her eyes and passed that memory to Luo Xia, and Luo Xia also closed her eyes to watch.

……

After Luo Xia absorbed the memory passed by Su Xueqi, he directly appeared outside a room with Su Xueqi's first perspective.

It's an amazing experience, like first-person VR, but far more real than that.

dong dong dong-

Rorschach saw 'myself' knocking on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Rex's familiar voice came from the room: "Come in."

'Myself' immediately pushed open the door and walked in.

Luo Xia could even feel the heartbeat of 'him' constantly accelerating, and these were obviously Su Xueqi's feelings at that time. After all, what he felt in his memory was not only sight and hearing, but also other senses.

Including the rapid heart rate caused by tension!
When Luo Xia saw Rex from Su Xueqi's perspective for the first time, the other party said something that shocked Luo Xia:

"Are you a Displacer too, Stephanie?"

At this moment, Luo Xia seemed to feel that his breathing had stopped, and his real feeling was no less than Su Xueqi's.

When the word "displacer" was uttered from the mouth of an 'indigenous' in their eyes, especially when this 'indigenous' was still a gold-level powerhouse, the feeling was so chilling that it could not be described!

Luo Xia asked himself, if he was placed in Su Xueqi's situation at that time, his performance might be worse than Su Xueqi's.

Because he has been with Rex for so long, and he has never heard Rex mention the foreign spirit, let alone the word 'displacer'.

Being able to say this word means that they have a certain understanding of the group of replacers, and it is not just that they have noticed something is wrong.

How could Rorschach not be shocked by this?

"Senior..." Luo Xia could hear that 'his' voice trembled slightly, even though he tried his best to calm down, it didn't help.

Luo Xia was not surprised by this, nor did she feel that Su Xueqi did not behave well, because this kind of reaction is only human.

Even if Su Xueqi was replaced by a lunatic like Abel who was not afraid of death, it would be difficult for her to not react at all when faced with this situation.

Rex didn't wait for Su Xueqi to finish speaking, and continued: "Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. I guessed that you are also a replacement person after you reunited with Rorschach for the first time, um, let's just be unconscious with that." Like a brat at heart."

"If you knew this a long time ago, why didn't you do it all the time?" Rorschach heard 'myself' ask in a somewhat hasty voice.

The haste here is obviously due to nervousness rather than anxiety.

Su Xueqi's answer also meant that she acquiesced to Rex's statement and admitted her identity as the replacement.

The main reason is that she understands that it doesn't make much difference whether to admit it or not. When Rex asked her so bluntly, she already had the answer in her heart.

Coupled with her previous reaction, this is basically confirmed.

No matter how much she quibbles now, it is futile, it is better to save those unnecessary embarrassing links.

"Do it?" Rex shook his head and chuckled, "Why do you do it, just because you are from another world? If you want to kill people who see other worlds, shouldn't the most important ones be those who treat me like you?" Is there a visitor from the [Grey Tower] of the humble insects?"

indeed!

Rorschach couldn't help saying hello to Rex in his heart, because the pattern of the words opened up immediately, and it really made sense.

For the people in the gray domain, the displacers are indeed outsiders, but why not visitors like Jack and the others from the [Grey Tower]?
If people from other lands should be killed, then people like Jack should be killed too!

However, Su Xueqi obviously couldn't believe this answer, so Luo Xia immediately heard 'self' ask:
"It's not that I don't believe what you said, it's just that if you have a certain understanding of our group, you should know that the time when our death rate is the highest is just after the arrival, and if there is a problem, we will be killed immediately. This situation will never be an exception, will it?"

"Of course it's not an exception." Rex said lightly, "But this has nothing to do with you coming from another world, because for those who are replaced by you, it is equivalent to being killed by you, and as their family members, instead of Isn't it natural for one's relatives and friends to take revenge, what does this have to do with whether you are people from another world?"

"..."

Luo Xia admitted that he was persuaded, and he could feel that Su Xueqi was also persuaded.

People in the gray domain are extremely repulsive to foreign evil spirits, and they will kill them mercilessly if they find them... This is the consensus of most of the replacements, including Gao Tianlin who told him so when Rorschach enlightened his spirit.

But if you look at it from the perspective that Rex said, maybe this matter is really not that complicated.

Most of the hostility of people in the gray domain to the so-called foreign evil spirits comes from the fact that their relatives and friends have been violated, so it is so extreme.

If it is simply because the displacer is a person from another world, the people in the gray domain may not really care that much, just like facing the visitor from the [Grey Tower].

The gray domain has been in constant wars all year round, and the blood debts between the three empires are simply too numerous to count. The few people replaced by the replacements are not enough to consume one war between the three empires.

"If you are regarded as one group, and the other two groups are the remnants of the evil god and the visitors from the [Grey Tower], the harm you have brought to the gray realm is not even worthy of carrying their shoes." Rex said lightly. .

Ok.

I have to say that Rex's words are indeed correct.

Luo Xia had personally witnessed the struggle between the remnants of the evil god and the visitors from the [Grey Tower]. None of the two parties treated ordinary people in the gray domain as human beings, but one was openly cannibalizing and the other was secretly cannibalizing.

Essentially, they all view Grayland beings as livestock.

On the contrary, the replacements, although there are also some killers, but most of them live carefully so as not to be discovered.

Such a group of people does not have much negative impact on Gray Domain as a whole, and it is far less difficult to deal with than the other two groups.

Sometimes the Displacers are even more disciplined than the Grayland 'natives' because it's something that's in their bones.

When Rex got to this point, Rorschach actually understood what he meant.

For the real superiors in the gray domain, especially the three empires, the displacer is not a scourge in their eyes.

Of course, there is still a premise in this, that is, gold-level and above cannot be replaced, which is also the current consensus.

Otherwise, those superiors would definitely not be able to sit still.

However, Rex said so much, it can only show that the people of the gray domain will not be hostile to the replacement for no reason.

But the problem is, Rorschach has replaced his predecessor!
His predecessor basically grew up eating a lot of food in Twilight Village. His arrival is equivalent to killing his predecessor. Will Rex not care?
Rorschach was deeply skeptical.

When Rorschach was thinking about Rex's thoughts, he only heard Rex in this memory continue to say to Su Xueqi: "As for that brat Rorschach, he probably thought that he was good at disguising himself, but he didn't know that he was in the village as early as he was in the village." It was discovered by his father, and for this reason his father even visited me specially."

"Village, what village?" Rorschach heard 'self' ask.

Rex also realized at this time that Luo Xia didn't tell Su Xueqi about the Twilight Village, and immediately shook his head and smiled:

"Don't worry about the village, just help me bring the message to him. You tell him that I already knew that he was a replacement. Not only did I know it, but his father also knew it, and it was his father who discovered it."

"At that time, his father came to me in private. Apart from leaving the things for him, another very important reason was to tell me about it, and asked me not to be hostile to him because of his status as a replacement, because the original That Rorschach is not a living entity in the true sense."

"It's not a real life entity... what do you mean?" Rorschach could feel the confusion of 'myself'.

"What do you mean, you don't have to worry about it." Rex shook his head and said, "I know that you should be able to meet in your world soon, just remember to bring him what I just said."

"What's more, you tell him, it's up to him to believe me or not, whether he comes back or not, it won't affect you, so he doesn't have to worry."

……

Memories come to an end here.

When Luo Xia opened his eyes again, he was speechless for a long time.

"Is it shocking?" Su Xueqi asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Rorschach asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know much about you, boss, and the part of your origin, so I can't make a judgment, but I think what he said is quite reasonable about the fact that the attitude of the people in the gray domain is not to kill all the replacements. "Su Xueqi expressed her opinion.

Rorschach nodded, not surprised by this.

The previous part that Rex said is definitely no problem. This point can also be verified again when combined with the tacit understanding between the seven and three empires that Depp mentioned to him before.

The real superiors in the gray domain never feel that the existence of the replacement is a crisis, because the gray domain itself has various crises.

One more replacement group will not affect the overall situation.

What's more, those top replacements have obviously reached some unwritten agreements with the three empires, and this is why the three empires turn a blind eye to the appearance of replacements and treat them as if they do not exist.

However, what really caught Rorschach's attention was Rex's last few paragraphs.

If it was as Rex said, his cheap father Hughes had obviously discovered that he was a replacement, but he didn't expose it.

Not only did he not expose it, but he also approached Rex in private, telling him not to care about his replacement status.

As for the reason, it sounds like it has something to do with the particularity of the predecessor. If we only understand it literally, there is some kind of secret in the predecessor.

It was precisely because of the secret of his predecessor that his cheap father Hughes was able to discover that he was no longer his predecessor at the first time.

But also because of this secret, Hughes, the cheap daddy, didn't seem to care that he "snatched" his predecessor, and instead specifically told Rex to ignore the fact that Rorschach was the replacement.

Of course, Rorschach also understood that these were just Rex's unilateral statements, and further judgment was needed to determine whether they were true or not.

But when he thought about it carefully, everything seemed to be right.

He had doubted for a long time, could he really deceive Hughes, who was a wizard, with his not-so-superb acting skills?
This question once made him think carefully, but later because he couldn't figure it out, he had no choice but to stop thinking about it for the time being.

It wasn't until he learned the behind-the-scenes story from Rex at this time that he could finally be sure that Hughes had indeed seen something wrong with him long ago.

From this point of view, what Rex said should be true.

In addition, Rorschach has also been aware of the fact that there is a secret in the predecessor.

Long before he merged with the source blood of purgatory, the pupil of true sight at that time had reminded him that he himself had special characteristics!

At that time, he had thought about what this particularity meant.

Is it the identity of the replacement that gave him the particularity of ignoring the bloodline level, or the pupil of true seeing that gave him this particularity, or the existence of some particularity in the predecessor that made him benefit from it? ?
All three possibilities existed in Rorschach's eyes at the time.

Later, as we learned more and more things, the first possibility could naturally be rejected directly.

But he really couldn't tell the difference between the second and third possibilities.

But now, from Rex's words, he suddenly found the real source of that particularity... It is the particularity inherent in his predecessor!
This high probability is also related to the secret of the predecessor.

It's just that it is obviously impossible to fully understand the situation based on the few words conveyed by Rex.

After unraveling the unsolved mystery of himself, Rorschach actually believed what Rex said. He really knew that Rorschach was a replacement, and Hughes really told him .

The only thing Rorschach is still unsure about is what is the purpose of cheap old Hughes?
Even if there was something wrong with his predecessor, but now he is equivalent to a descendant from another world, and directly replaced his predecessor.

Taking a step back, even if Hughes and his predecessor are not biological father and son, Hughes doesn't care about his predecessor's life and death, but this doesn't mean that Hughes should have goodwill towards him, a visitor from another world, right?

Rorschach understands that Hughes must have deeper reasons for these arrangements, but he has limited information and cannot guess.

"That's not right, why didn't the damn Trasheye remind me that Dad Cheap already knows my identity?" Luo Xia suddenly thought of a question.

It's been a long time since he called the Pupil of True Hell Trash Eye, because this thing has been quite powerful since it came to the gray domain.

But what happened this time really made him a little passive. If he could have known this earlier, he wouldn't have to worry about it in front of Rex all the time.

Thinking of this, he looked directly at the mirror next to him, and took the initiative to peep at himself in the mirror:
"Name: Rorschach"

"Race: Human Race, Purgatory Knight, Sorcerer Apprentice"

"Abilities: Blood Hell Witchcraft: Blood Alchemy Chapter (True Hell Version) Lv.3, Purgatory Meditation Lv.3"

"Hint 1: Don't you think the unknown is the most wonderful feeling? Well, it seems that you can't understand this painstaking effort, stupid mortal..."

"Hint 2: What is certain is that Hughes does not have any malice towards you, and what Rex said is indeed the truth. As for what Hughes' purpose is, you need to find out by yourself."

"Hint 3: Your predecessor was indeed not simple"

……

"I knew it."

Looking at the reminder from the Pupil of Hell, Luo Xia was a little speechless.

Rorschach can still understand that Hughes' information Hell's Pupil cannot be completely peeped, but there is still Rex in this matter.

How could the Pupil of True Prison not be able to observe the cause and effect at all, at least it could see that Rex knew the identity of his replacement, but this dog didn't mention a word before, so that Rorschach didn't think about it at all .

In fact, Rorschach has already noticed many problems in this.

It was just that he couldn't figure out such a crucial point, so it became several unsolved mysteries. If the Pupil of True Hell could give some clues earlier, he would definitely not be as ignorant of the real situation as he is now.

Fortunately, this thing is quite interesting, knowing that he is really angry, and gave him a compensatory reminder.

You must know that the reminders of the Pupil of True Prison have always been random, and often there will be reminders that he does not need, but he will not remind him of what he needs. This time is obviously an exception.

"Oh, you're acquainted."

After seeing the second reminder from Pupil of True Hell, Luo Xia finally felt better, because this reminder really helped him a lot.

From this compensatory reminder, he can reversely reassure that what Rex said is true, and he doesn't need to worry about this being some kind of conspiracy.

As for the last prompt, Rorschach simply ignored it.

This is pure nonsense, nothing to care about.

Even if the pupil of the real prison is not clear about this, he still knows that there is a secret in his predecessor, and what he wants to know is what the secret is.

And, why did Hughes still have no malice towards him even though he knew his identity as a displacer, and even gave him the blood of purgatory.

Even if Hughes really doesn't know the origin of the purgatory blood, at least he can see that the purgatory blood is not simple, right?

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a strange practice to choose to leave the blood of purgatory to Rorschach as a replacement.

But it is a pity that the pupil of the real prison will obviously not remind him what he wants to know just because he is curious, and he can only look for clues by himself.
