Rorschach and Paul walked down the dark alleys, and as the storm cleared, the pouring rain turned to a drizzle, and the smell of the sea filled the air.

The alley is very dark and narrow, and it is the width of three people side by side, and the ground paved with goose warm stones is potholed and full of water due to disrepair, and if you are not careful, you will step on it deeply, crackling, and splashing a splash.

Paul crossed his hands in front of his chest, his body trembled, he had been soaked by the torrential rain when he went to the yacht, and he had no clothes to change when he came to the hotel, and then he was busy running for his life, and he was drenched again, and he felt hungry, thirsty, and cold, and he could not walk.

He looked at Rorschach who was walking in front and leading the way, although he wanted to talk to Rorschach in his heart, whether he could find a place to rest first, but he didn't know how to speak, after all, the other party was the same as him, and he was drenched for a long time.

Soon, the two walked to the end of the alley, and a fork in the road was placed in front of them, and Rorschach directly chose the fork in the right road, and Paul had to quickly follow when he saw this.

The fork in the road is still an alley, and it is still a fork in the road.

Paul followed Rorschach around, feeling that the alleys were a labyrinth, and he was even a little dizzy, but gradually he realized that after escaping from the hotel, they had not encountered a single pursuing fisherman.

Rorschach, who walked ahead, was like a prophet with the ability to foresee, he could know which alley was occupied and which was unoccupied, and even stopped and waited for the silence ahead before moving on.

After all the thrills, Paul finally saw the faint street lamp in front of him, and followed Rorschach briskly to the exit of the alley, where they stood in the shadows against the wall.

Rorschach turned his head and whispered:

"Wait a minute."

"Is there anyone out there?" Paul swallowed nervously.

"They're nearby." Rorschach gestured out of the alley.

Paul poked his head out and looked out of the alley, and there was a circular square surrounded by stone houses, and a three-story circular fountain stood in the middle of the square, and the fountain basin had already been filled with torrential rain, and at this time it was constantly overflowing, and it was slamming to the ground.

"Shall we go back?" Paul shrunk his neck and took a step back.

"No, wait for them to go away, we're going out." Rorschach waved his hand and looked left and right at the entrance of the alley.

"Okay, okay."

Paul took a breath and lowered his voice to ask the worry that had been bothering him all the way, "Could Barbara have been captured by them?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's a possibility."

"Oh my God!" Paul was shocked by this answer, and his face was full of anxiety, "We have to save her!" If...... If those guys do bad things to her......"

Rorschach turned his head and shook his head.

"We need to get out of here first, and when we get you to safety, I'll help you find that girl."

"I ...... I understand...... All right. ”

Paul had no choice but to nod his head, after all, he could not save Barbara. Frustration welled up in his heart, and he crouched down with his fingers clasped together, closed his eyes and prayed, "God forbid, Barbara, dear, you must not fall into the hands of those guys." ”

"Don't make a sound, they're coming." Rorschach issued a warning.

Paul was startled, and quickly stood up, pressed against the wall, and did not dare to make a sound.

Rorschach squinted at a group of people walking out of the street on the side of the Ring.

Leading the way were two fishermen in black ponchos, pale faces and harpoons in their hands. Behind them was a girl, with her head bowed, wearing a transparent raincoat, a yellow T-shirt, jeans, her blonde hair hanging down to hide her face, and behind the girl there were two fishermen, who exchanged heads and ears from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about.

Paul poked his head out from behind Rorschach and looked at the fishermen as they walked through the square, and as they got closer, he could see the blonde girl behind the two fishermen.

An incomparably familiar figure appeared in sight, his eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at the blonde girl and shouted:

"Barbara! It's Barbara! ”

"Don't talk." Rorschach glared back at Paul.

Paul quickly covered his mouth and pressed his back against the wall, his eyes showing apology.

"You said the blonde girl was your friend?" Rorschach asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" Paul nodded hurriedly, the fingers covering his mouth slightly open, "It's Barbara, it's my girlfriend Barbara!" We're going to save her! ”

"I see." Rorschach turned his head and continued to silently gaze at the five men who had already walked in front of the circular fountain.

Paul was anxious to see that Rorschach was unmoved, and he didn't want Barbara to be hurt. He understands that a lot of things are on his own......

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and hammered down the wall behind him, finally mustering up the courage to step forward, about to rush out of the alley to save Barbara.

However, as soon as Paul took a step, he was held down by a strong force, and his body pressed against the wall, and his throat tightened, and his breathing became difficult.

"Idiot!" Rorschach put his arm around his neck and said coldly, "Let them get closer and do it." ”

Seeing Rorschach's appearance, Paul's hands and feet were cold, and he nodded hurriedly, but because he was too panicked, his feet slipped and he kicked a stone on the ground.

Bang, bang......

The stones slammed against the wall and bounced off the ground with a series of crunching sounds.

The sound in the alley reached the fishermen, who stopped and turned their heads to stare at the alley.

A fisherman pointed to the alley between the two stone houses and let out a strange cry, as if to say:

"Someone looks like there?"

Another fisherman, who seemed to be the leader, looked into the shadows of the alley, and faintly, he seemed to see a figure.

"Who's in there?" He raised his harpoon and spat out human words.

In the shadows of the alley, Rorschach walked out slowly, looking coldly at the five people standing by the fountain.

When he saw Rorschach appear, the lead fisherman paused, stepped back, and let out two strange screams, and then the two fishermen carried harpoons and walked around Rorschach's left and right sides.

He stared at Rorschach and opened his mouth to ask:

"You ran away from the hotel?"

"Yes." Rorschach glanced at the approaching fishermen on either side, and walked towards the lead fisherman without paying attention.

"Stop!" The leading fisherman lifted his harpoon, pointed at him and said viciously, "Kneel down honestly, be bound obediently, I will not kill you." ”

The two fishermen who circled around Rorschach's side raised their harpoons at the same time, their sharp spikes aimed at Rorschach's body, and they were less than two meters away from him.

Rorschach smiled slightly, turned his shoulders from side to side, and made a crunch sound, the cold made his body a little stiff, and he needed to move.

Then, ignoring the words of the leading fisherman, he continued on his way.

"I told you to stop!" The lead fisherman yelled, pointed at Rorschach's harpoon, and swung it down hard, and the fishermen on either side of Rorschach began to attack.
