What are they afraid of?

Former war hero Cyril Linguang

It was just forgotten. First, the word "Knight" appeared on the front pages of major entertainment newspapers instead of political war newspapers. Then idols with heavy makeup and light makeup began to be dubbed "Knight" by agencies. Knight The meaning of the word began to change. These flashing neon lights on high-rise buildings made me sick like maggots in a trash can.

I woke up from a nightmare at [-]:[-] in the morning. I was horrified to find that I had gone to sleep without taking off my mask. I was more tired than before and I should have been more cautious.

The landlady complained that the trumpet in the arena was disturbing the public. Her husband was once a middle-level knight and died in the Kawu War. At first she was not sad because she received a large pension, but then she was sad again. Because she gambled away all the money in the arena, her clothes became more revealing and bruises often appeared on her neck.

What did those knights protect?The chivalry they pride themselves on?Now it seems that chivalry does not bring justice, only benefits.

In order to avoid being wanted, I cut off my ears and tail with a knife, then packed them and threw them in the trash can. Without those burdens, my movements became easier. I looked at myself in the mirror - haggard, thin, His eyes were bloodshot, no different from before he traveled through time.

To be honest, I don’t miss the days before time travel, because in the past, I once compromised with society. I don’t remember exactly what it was. Maybe it was because of the high mortgage loan or sky-high betrothal gifts. In short, I died once, and after that, I forgot Forgot most things, even names.

There is essentially no difference between demi-humans and pure-blooded humans. Savage greed is human nature, and human cruelty will inevitably lead to destruction.

When I came to Terra, I lived in an orphanage on the border of Ursus since I was a child. The director called me Wolf Shame because I was the smallest and always sick Luper. Every time I got sick, he would use Give me some herbs mixed with vodka.

Later, infected people appeared in the orphanage, and the pickets burned it to the ground. I became the only survivor.

From then on, I named myself Mikey Abberline. As for how I became Rorschach and met Ranger Maena and the others, it was a long time later.

Okay, let’s stop talking about the memories and continue talking about today’s events.

At [-]:[-] at noon, I saw people from the Wuxia Alliance blocking off Lot Zero. There used to be a large number of infected people living there. Now, I rarely see infected people walking there. come out.

What is the Wuzhou Alliance hiding there?I thought about something bad.

While wandering around Lot Zero, two people from the Unprotected Alliance noticed me. I wrapped my coat tightly and deliberately walked furtively to a remote part of the park, which further confirmed their suspicions. .

I put on my mask, sat on the bench, and flipped through the newspaper carelessly.

Their patience wore out faster than I imagined. One of them with a long sword leaned towards me. Our eyes met for a moment. He swung the long sword towards my thigh. I moved one step faster than him and dodged away. , his long sword got stuck on the bench, and he looked up at me in shock. I grabbed the back of his head and smashed his head against the bench. He fainted with just one blow.

Then, a crossbow arrow shot at me. I used his companion as a shield. The crossbow arrow penetrated the latter's shoulder blade, but did not wake him up.

Perhaps sensing that something was wrong, the crossbowman wanted to escape, so I caught him on a deserted grass field and pushed him to the ground with my knees.

"What's the truth behind Wuzhou Alliance's blockade of Block Zero? Tell me."

I asked, the ink patterns on my face changing.

"Bah! Rorschach! I'm not afraid of you!"

"You still have nine fingers."

I covered his mouth to prevent him from shouting, and then easily disabled the index finger of his right hand. Now he could no longer use the crossbow.

"...Woo woo woo..."

For the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.

"Say."

"I have no idea......."

"This is not the answer I wanted. You still have eight fingers."

Then he lost the thumb of his right hand, and now he couldn't even hold a sword.

"...Leave me alone...I really don't know...Maybe...only Platinum knows this secret."

"Who is Platinum there? How can I contact her?"

He took a breath and said shakily:

"A white-haired female Kuranta... I receive a mission from her every time. I don't know her name. I can try to help you contact her..."

"No, I don't need you to help me contact her. Tell me how to contact her. I will contact her alone."

Past experience tells me that you should never trust an assassin organization and never give the initiative to them.

"No, no, no... they won't let me go, I still have a family! She will kill me!"

"Everyone has a family, but if you don't tell me now, I will kill you, and now there is only one person holding your neck, but that person is not her, isn't it?"

I held his neck harder, and his face began to turn the color of pig liver, until he was about to roll his eyes and stop.

While he was sleeping, I let him breathe some fresh air.

"...Go to hell! Rorschach!"

I don’t know where this guy suddenly got the strength and courage. He spat at me, and when I held his chest with my knee, he still had the strength to hit the ground with the back of his head, and then passed out. .

I punched him in the face several times, but he didn't react at all. It seemed that he really passed out.

"What the hell..."

I didn't have time to wait for him to wake up. After cursing, I turned and left.

A white-haired female Kuranta, that was the only useful information I got during the day.

I have some impressions of the game Ark, but only a little. After all, my memories before time travel have been completely forgotten, including my past identity.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, I arrived at the Linguang family's mansion. Ever since the head of the family disappeared, leaving only two young knights, Margaret and Maria, this luxurious mansion has become a lot worse. There are no doors at the door. There is not even a janitor.

This also made it easy for me to sneak into the living room of the mansion. I sat on the sofa in the dark, listening to the ticking of the wall clock 1200 times. After that, the lights came on and the door was pushed open.

"I'm sorry... please rest assured that you can come to me if you have any questions about the previous meeting... What? No, no, please think again... please You, yes..."

The tone of Ma Enna's voice when she called to pray disappeared without a trace the moment she saw me.

"Rorschach."

He was standing there, standing behind and to my left, as if I was the owner of the room.

"Your two nieces are still sleeping upstairs. Don't worry, I didn't wake them up."

I turned my head and looked directly at him. The ranger who used to punish evil and promote good with me had disappeared, and was replaced by a social beast wearing a striped suit and smelling of alcohol.

"If you are here to reminisce about old times, I still have a bottle of fine red wine here. If you are here to help you fulfill the so-called justice, then forget it."

"Maena, sit down and talk. I am not your leader. There is no need to stand."

I pointed to the sofa opposite, and then he realized something and sat opposite me, on an equal footing with me.

"I heard that Toland became a bounty hunter on the outskirts of Zvonek."

I spoke first.

"So you're here to reminisce? I'm going to get the red wine."

"No, that's not necessary. Do you know anything about Lot Zero? The Wuxia Alliance has locked up all the homeless infected people there. If you don't have information, I will go find Tolan. A bounty hunter would probably be a lot more helpful to me than a...company employee."

"Rorschach, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I still have two nieces to take care of. Maybe you will say that I am weak, but the Linguang family's creed will not change, even if we are deprived of our noble status."

Jingle Bell--

At this time, Ma Enna thought about the phone call again. He stepped aside and answered the phone:

"No, it is indeed my work error and has nothing to do with you. I will mail the revised document to you later...tomorrow, yes, tomorrow... I am very sorry... ..”

I already guessed what the content of the call was. He showed an embarrassed smile and I asked him:

"Where is that ranger who was once arrogant and hated evil? Where are your sword and armor?"

"......"

Maena shook her head. This action seemed like an escape in my eyes.

"Then wish you a long way, Ma'na."

There was no need to continue talking, so I stood up and walked out.

"Rorschach..."

He suddenly stopped me and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Maybe you should compromise with reality..."

"Never compromise, even if the world ends."

I replied.

On a fruitless night, the first person I visited made me a little disappointed. This city is dying like a mad dog. Is the best thing I can do to wipe away the messy foam around its mouth? Lose?Never give up hope, never give in

1 Chapter 1075 Rorschach's Diary October 10, 13

Never compromise, this is the difference between Ma Enna and I, and those knights who pay attention to honor. They often bind family honor and justice, and when family honor no longer exists, even the oldest The Linguang family will also become a group of weak losers.

I thought back to what I had exchanged with him last night, and my mouth was full of bitterness. I said at that time:

"But even so, you are still my best friend, Maena. I know it is difficult to get along with people like me."

And this is what he answered me:

"Rorschach, your true identity has not been revealed yet. You can give up the pursuit and live a normal life."

I asked back: "Normal life? A life like yours? When you walk past those human pests who discuss competitive gambling and child pornography, and walk past those who became infected because of competitions on the street corner, you can only slowly walk like an old dog. Do you really think this is normal when you’re waiting for a dead knight?”

He was speechless by my question, and finally said: "At least I'm not the person living under a mask."

"No, you hide behind the mask of the public."

I woke up this morning and flipped through the newspaper. The front page news was that the Federation of Commerce had built two new knight arenas in the Grand Knight Territory, but no one paid attention to why plot zero was blocked, and no one went there. Care about the fate of those infected who were captured.

I must continue to carry out my investigation plan. The Federation of Commerce is definitely covering up something in Lot Zero. People must know the truth.

As for the Supervisory Committee, why do some people always think that Grand Knight Russell will go against the Federation of Commerce?Why do they never understand that the Chamber of Commerce and the China Securities Regulatory Commission are two sides of the same coin in this country?

How many of the privileges of business federations are granted by the Supervisory Committee?And how many of the armors and weapons of the fighting knights were given by the Commercial Federation?

The Silver Spear Pegasus with the true "chivalry spirit" had already died in the Uka War many years ago, and the only ones who survived were a group of fallen knights who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

I had nothing to do during the day, because there were several strangers holding bows wandering around my rented apartment. They might be members of the Uncensored Alliance or other knights. I stayed in the room and memorized their names through the glass. looks.

At night, they all seemed to be gone, but in fact they were not. There was an Elafia wearing a peaked cap hiding in an alley and not leaving. The neon lights of nearby skyscrapers gave him away.

The night was generous to me, and my babies were waiting for me, my coat, my shoes, my clean gloves, and my mask.Putting them on, I shed my disguise and become my true self, no longer fearful, weak, or lustful.

The guy was observing my floor from behind the trash can, but the night was my old friend, and when I appeared behind him, he still maintained his stupid posture without moving.

"Who are you looking for?"

I patted his shoulder, and he immediately jumped. He turned around and subconsciously stretched his hand to his waist. There might be a dagger or hand crossbow there, but I had already seen through his technique and used my right leg fiercely. Swipe towards his lower body, then hold down his arm that wants to draw the weapon, and then remove it easily.

He grinned in pain, but what was admirable was that he didn't cry out. I grabbed his collar with both hands and pressed him against the wall. In the darkness, I could see "his" face clearly.

"Wuzhou Alliance or the Supervisory Committee? You only have one chance to answer."

"Hiss...what are you talking about?"

This wasn't the answer I wanted, so I disabled his other arm, then threw him to the ground hard, making him twist like a bug.

"What's your name?! Who sent you?!"

My voice was filled with anger because I wasted an entire day playing spy hide-and-seek with these scum.

"...I said, I said, my name is Paul, Candle Knight Weiwei Anna sent me here..."

Candle Knight Viviana?Strange name.

"who is she?"

I clenched my fists loudly.

"You don't even know about Viviana, the candle knight? The mistress of Truffle Castle! Viviana Drost!"

His expression looked shocked. I recalled Drost, Truffle Castle, and I seemed to remember it. It sounded like the illegitimate daughter of a certain Leitanian noble.

Rose Newspaper once reported this information. Later I went back and read the newspaper again. Those idiots with testicles in their brains actually described an illegitimate boy who came to this dirty city because he liked reading romantic knight novels. female:

"Words cannot describe her beauty, only her shining eyes are intoxicating; tonight, marigolds are in full bloom for her."

Look at what I said before. Nowadays, any person or thing can be glorified and called a knight. A pampered illegitimate daughter of an aristocrat who likes to read romantic knight novels. Is there any more ridiculous combination than this?

I am not interested in this Candle Knight at all. In her eyes, justice may be the kind of beautiful house-playing in novels, a game that can be abandoned when you get tired of it another day. But in my eyes, I am justice. Yes, I have to do it, I am forced to do it by myself.

Answering the main question, seeing my silence, the man whose arms were crippled by me reminded me again:

"Don't you know Weiwei Anna! That's right, after all, for a criminal at the bottom of society like you, her status is too noble, just like a queen and a beggar."

"So, why would the noble Candle Knight send a group of rats to comfort the criminals living at the bottom of this city? Is it because she started to care about people's livelihood issues?"

I asked again.

"How do I know this? I am just a humble servant of the Candle Knight. My mistress wants to see you, Rorschach, at the residence of the Sanhua Knights, 144 Third Street. You'd better go there late at night. Look for her and someone will take you to her wherever you go.”
