"Tuk Tuk ......"

"Please come in."

Avella gently pushed open the door to the principal's office, and inside the gray-haired old gentleman was pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Avella, sit down." The old principal opened his eyes, although his gaze was still clear and bright, but it was a little complicated at the moment.

Avella's heart suddenly had some very bad premonitions, but she thought about it, and there was nothing else to do with her except Rorschach.

Is it because he was expelled from school, it affects himself?

It's hard to believe, but it's not impossible.

"Martintown...... It's where you grew up, right? The old headmaster suddenly asked.

Avella was slightly stunned and nodded: "Yes......"

"Alas......" the old headmaster sighed, "I don't want to hide it from you, there is an outbreak in Martintown, and the death toll has exceeded a thousand, and it is still rising......"

"...... Uproar"

Avella slammed to her feet, her chair rattling on the floor.

"Mr. Principal, I'm taking a leave of absence......"

Before she could finish speaking, Avella was ready to turn and run.

"Wait!" The old principal's call stopped her, "You can't enter Martin Town, the city government has sent someone to deal with it, don't worry, wait for news at the school, tell me the names of your relatives, and I will help you check it...... There are no of them among the dead. ”

Avella stood still, silent for a long time, her fists clenched tightly, and when she let go, she made a subtle hoarse voice: "I see, thank you, Mr. Headmaster......"

Avella turned and left the principal's office and stepped into the darkness.

She kept her head down and walked quickly.

It is often more memorable than possession and loss.

For example, family affection.

The untimely death of her father and mother made it difficult for Avella to squander those emotions like other children, until she and Rorschach were taken to Aunt Caroline's house.

I don't know when she started to have one more person in her heart.

That person, gradually overlapping with his mother's shadow, and then it was almost inseparable from each other.

Avella is a sane person, she doesn't know the current situation of Aunt Caroline, and going directly to Martin Town is obviously a stupid decision.

But for the first time in her life, she wanted to be reckless.

Raw, take her away.

Die, avenge her.

……

"Boom-"

"Knock knock—"

This is Avella's exclusive knock on the door, and it's early in the morning?

Rorschach opened his eyes and rolled over and crawled up.

He studied his brain all night.

As strange as it sounds, he did study his brain.

Eventually, he came to a startling inference that "Rorschach" was not dead.

That's right, that bastard is definitely not dead!

The will of a dead man is never as hard as a living man, especially a weak guy like "Rorschach".

"He" was able to suppress Rorschach and forcibly control his body for a short time, "he" must still be living in a corner of this body!

"Hmph...... Sooner or later, find you out and reunite you with your Aunt Caroline. Rorschach had no idea of occupying the magpie's nest, and ran downstairs as he straightened his clothes.

"Squeak......

When he opened the door, the morning light touched his face again.

The familiar stranger in front of him was still the same as always, and he didn't have a good look when he looked at "him".

But...... Seems like there's a slight difference?

"Come in."

Rorschach turned to make black tea, but there was nothing else to entertain her.

"No," Avella stood in the doorway, stopping Rorschach.

Rorschach turned around again, only to see what she was wearing.

The uniform of Durland University was transformed into a tight-fitting linen civilian clothes, and he carried a bag of things in his hand, looking like he was going to go far away.

"Do you remember Aunt Caroline?" Avella's gaze stared at Rorschach in rare eyes.

Rorschach's gaze did not evade it at all, but her heart moved, and she also knew?

"Of course, it's our adoptive mother."

His slightly casual tone immediately made Avella's face collapse, and her silver eyes flashed with undisguised disgust: "You're disgusting. ”

With that, Avella turned and left, already regretting why she had come to inform him.

She thought that this cowardly and incompetent person would have some family affection.

Sure enough, her expectations were too high.

"Hey." Rorschach suddenly grabbed Avella's wrist.

Avella was stunned, her disgust and anger swelling like never before, and she turned sharply and slapped her hand into Rorschach's face.

Rorschach leaned against the door and leaned back slightly, dodging Avella's slap.

"Bang-"

Avella slapped her hand on the doorframe, and her hand immediately turned red, but although it hurt, the extreme disgust and anger in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"Let it go!"

There was undisguised malice in her indifferent voice, and she looked at Rorschach as if she were looking at a pile of humanoid garbage.

"Tsk," Rorschach said in a flirtatious voice, but his eyes glanced at the doorframe on the side, "You deformed my doorframe, lose money." ”

Avella followed his gaze, and with her strength, even though it was a wooden door frame, it was impossible to break it.

She guessed correctly, after being expelled from school, he really changed.

It becomes more disgusting, kitsch, unreasonable.

"Let go of me, I'll pay you as much money as you want." Avella didn't want to communicate with Rorschach at all, and watched her feet the whole time.

"It's not much, let's pay one hundred and eighty gold coins." Rorschach squeezed Avella's wrist and said with a smile on her face.

"You!" Avella's anger had turned her face red, why had he become so shameless?

"No money? Then work to pay off the debt, Elsa! Rorschach shouted to the sky.

However, Elsa who was supposed to appear was now gone, and Rorschach frowned slightly, feeling something.

Taking advantage of this time, Avella slammed into her hands and finally broke free from Rorschach's hands.

"Scum."

She didn't even look at him, turned and ran away.

After her back disappeared, the expression on Rorschach's face became calm, "You saw it, I stopped it, she still wants to go, can't blame me?" ”

Rorschach yawned and turned to go into the room.

He took out the strange book and flipped to the back of the first page.

Yesterday, upon contact with Aunt Caroline, a few more words appeared there.

"Shells, sacrifices."

The snake looms down there, only this time, it seems clearer.

Rorschach knew very well what was going on in Martintown at this moment, a ritual, a sacrifice, and the followers of the snake demon were trying to somehow ...... Awaken their gods.

There is another reason why Rorschach agreed to "Rorschach" to go to Martintown.

Why, then, were those believers able to perform these rituals during this time?

In Rorschach's memory, there was no supernatural power in this world.

There are some unknowable changes that are happening.

Perhaps, the believers of Kugar know something.

Things are starting to get interesting.
