Chapter 415: Day of Destruction, Rorschach Mask
Rorschach's Diary –
"November 22, 1992, may also be the 23rd.
The streets are crowded with skins, people's minds are boiled by the absurd nightmares of the imaginary invaders, and the clock of doom is turning again, and we have had a chance, but they have abandoned it. All of them!
A cacophony of unsympathetic noise, filling their own ears, constituted a deafening echo chamber.
The reason why they blame each other is only because of what the other person has, not who they are.
Their tolerance is a one-way street.
At the same time, totalitarians hold their ground, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and preaching the restoration of Datong society, without realizing that the good old days are not so good for those who are different from them.
It all depends on your perspective, and God has turned around and left us a paradise, which is like giving a five-year-old a folding razor.
We slice open the belly of the world, and secrets pour out, and a gut full of truth and shit hangs us.
Soon all that will be left in the world will be bed bugs, cockroaches and maggots fighting for the corpses of the ordinary.
They then devour themselves until they choke to death.
Unless we can bring God back.
Smash it, scream it, because we may not be worthy of it, or maybe the end of the world is coming.
We shattered the American dream, and now it's an American nightmare. ”
The man closed the journal and picked up a mask covered in ink.
Its original owner, who had died in Antarctica, did not even have a complete body left.
"Authorities have issued mandatory evacuation orders across the country, and we urge everyone to gather family members and evacuate the red zones we have marked. If the emergency number that appears at the bottom of the screen is busy, contact your local police ......"
Emergency notices about the evacuation and evacuation of city residents are played on a loop.
The man didn't look at it, just put on a mask where the ink kept changing.
The world is getting worse and worse, I don't know if it's since Dr. Manhattan left, or since the Rorschach Diary leaked.
Anyway, it's like a terminal cancer patient, and the body is getting worse every day.
Click, click.
The man strode out of the room with his hands in the pockets of his brown coat.
He descended the stairs and left the dilapidated apartment, and the outside world was in chaos.
All kinds of smashing, looting, and burning, all kinds of riots broke out.
Nuclear war is coming, the end is coming, and everyone is going crazy.
The man walked through the hordes of carnivals with a blank face, ignoring the violence that took place, he had something else to do.
The world is falling more and more, and there are always heroes to stand up.
Since you wear this mask, you have to choose what to save.
For example, the world.
The man walked very fast and finally stopped at the door of the police station.
The police were busy evacuating their work, and the shrill ringing of telephones was louder than that of Wall Street's securities firms.
They are faced with the serious question of what to do with the prisoners in their cells.
There is not enough time left for the citizens to evacuate, where can they take care of those vicious thugs!
A policeman carrying a large string of keys could not have put so many people in a prison van and transferred them on the spot.
In order not to be convicted of murder afterwards, the director decided to release them.
Anyway, the devil knows if the Eastern camp will choose to bomb the city!
"Give me the key!"
A bald guy stuck his hand out of the iron fence and grabbed the cop by the back collar.
The criminals in the cells were shouting, banging the railings and making high-pitched noises.
They know what's going on outside, and no one wants to be trapped here, either starving, dying of thirst, or being burned to death by a nuclear bomb.
Boom!
The bald guy slammed his fist into the policeman's cheek, knocking out several teeth.
He wants to snatch the other party's key and open the locked prison door.
After knocking the police down with a heavy fist, the bunch of keys flew out and landed on the far wall.
"Shet!"
The bald guy cursed fiercely.
He was thinking about how to pick up the keys, and someone had already done so.
The man in the inkblot mask pinched the set of keys and looked at the bald man locked in his cell.
"You want to come up?"
He asked hoarsely.
The bald guy took two steps back and waved his hand vigorously, this guy's outfit was clearly an outdated drag hero.
It's not fun to go out and get beaten up.
He'd rather stay here and think of some other way to get out of jail.
The man seemed satisfied with the answer, put the keys in his pocket, and walked on.
The reason he came to the police prison was to rescue a man and a woman.
They are called marionettes and pantomime.
Of course, this is just the codename.
Drag heroes don't reveal their real names, and neither do those masked villains.
Although the men did not know why the pharaohs needed each other.
However, this is one of the tasks to be accomplished to save the world.
So, the man did it anyway.
"Three hours and thirty-four minutes to go......"
He raised his hand and looked at the table below, which represented the deadline for the launch of the nuclear bomb.
Without Dr. Manhattan's restraints, the world inevitably slides into the abyss.
It didn't take long for the man to find his target.
He used the chips given by Pharaoh to successfully get the two criminals, who lacked integrity and compassion, out of the cell with him.
Riding in a car that had already been prepared, the group entered the sewer and stopped in front of a flood gate that said "Danger".
With two gentle knocks, the iron door opened, and the man entered first.
Rescued marionettes and pantomime, the man and woman also followed.
They saw a secret base covered in dust, with a mess of parts, equipment, and instruments.
"I said, is the rumor true?"
The blonde woman, codenamed "Marionette", asked a little nervously.
"Is it true that Rorschach committed suicide?"
This is one of the rumors that has been widely circulated since the publication of Rorschach's diary.
Because the diary that shattered the pharaoh's utopia did not end up writing about what happened to Rorschach himself.
"Werther is the master behind the scenes. Why? What exactly does he want? I can't think of a more formidable opponent. He used to joke that if he was fast enough to catch a bullet, he would be able to take out us in the snow himself. That's where we're going now: Antarctica. Whether I live or die in the future, I hope the world will hold out until you see this diary. I never compromised when I lived, and I will not regret or complain when I die now. ”
This was Rorschach's last diary.
Some speculate that he was killed by the Pharaoh, while others say that he had a nervous breakdown and chose to commit suicide......
All in all, there are many opinions.
"It's not."
The man replied succinctly.
Although he wears Rorschach's ink mask, he is not himself.
"And your partner is a night owl?"
The marionette asked again.
She saw the night owl airship covered in a dust cloth.
"No, his partner is me."
A voice came from the corner, and a tall man in a gown walked out.
He resembles an ancient emperor, wearing luxurious robes and gold accessories, revealing an extraordinary atmosphere.
Holding a strange-looking, red-haired lynx in both hands, like a cat, it kept petting.
"Pharaoh?"
The marionette recognized the legend that often appeared in the news or in the newspapers.
The other party was once one of the most famous drag heroes, and later became a financial tycoon, a charity tycoon, and a national think tank.
Now, it is the cold-blooded executioner who slaughtered three million people, and is a globally wanted and notorious criminal against humanity.
Pharaoh, Adrian Witt.
"That's right, it's me."
The tall man nodded elegantly.
He appears here to have the second generation of Rorschach, who wears an ink mask, specially rescue the marionettes and pantomime, in order to save the world once again.
Dr. Manhattan left the planet and, by extension, the universe.
Once Adrian believed that the blue man was the biggest threat in the world.
Now he has changed his mind, and humanity needs a "God".
In this way, there will be no repetition of destruction and war.
