Chapter 52: Combing
Durand, Church of Order.
Cornelia bowed her head and half-knelt on the ground.
"What did I tell you when I set off?" Bishop Girome's voice echoed through the empty church.
"Bring back Kugal's scales."
Cornelia didn't look up, and her tone of voice was as calm as usual.
"Where's the scale?" Bishop Girium turned abruptly and stared at Cornelia who was half-kneeling, "You've disappointed me, Cornelia...... Do you know what your name means? You can't fail, you can't fail......"
Cornelia was silent, her ice-blue eyes as silent as ever.
"Go, take it back." Bishop Girium looked at Cornelia, who had never spoken, and raised his hand and threw her a small object.
Cornelia immediately reached out and caught it, a small pindial with directions and mysterious patterns engraved on all eight sides of the pointer.
"Go to Chelsea City, its aura appears in Chelsea City," Bishop Girome's expression was focused and serious, "Levi of the Special Defense Department is missing, he is very powerful, he can't die in that forest, so, now the scale is very likely to be in his hands, Cornelia ......"
Bishop Girome looked at the taciturn girl and said, "You will be the last defender of order, and the name you used once resounded in the sky, and this time, you must not fail again." I can find its breath, and so can the others, move as fast as you can, and take back Kugar's scales from Levi's hands, I allow you to ...... Liberate another self. ”
Cornelia shuddered, and she didn't speak for a long time.
"The world will be chaotic, order should be reorganized, and the great existence that has been silent for thousands of years is about to come to ......"
Cornelia got up, bowed to Bishop Girome, who was in worship, and turned to leave.
……
Hogg Town.
Never expect any delicious food in a remote town, everyone just took a few bites and then went back to their rooms to rest.
The old housekeeper was good, Rorschach and Avella were given a house each, and Levi, who was unconscious, was cared for in another room by two servants.
The night soon wore on.
Although Rorschach had previously dealt a cruel blow to the drunk, no one had come to hold him accountable.
Even the knights' blazing eyes were a little clearer.
Avella didn't say a word after that, and she didn't mean to thank Rorschach.
Of course, he didn't need to.
In fact, most of the reason why Rorschach kicked the drunk's eggs was that he said that Rorschach was a soft egg with thin arms and legs, and in order to prove to him that he was not a soft egg, Rorschach naturally took it seriously.
Lying in bed, Rorschach did not fall asleep for a while.
Thinking about the experiences of these days, he still has a feeling of being in a dream.
The body is a god who may be resurrected at any time, there is an original owner who hides a lot of secrets in the sea of knowledge, and there is a strange professor who hides a strange book, in fact, now that he thinks about it, Rorschach even thinks that the strange book was deliberately left to him by Professor Logan.
Give up the immense power that is close at hand, and give it to Rorschach instead?
It's hard not to be suspicious.
If he didn't want to cause trouble, he must have discovered an abnormality in Rorschach's body.
Or, both.
All in all, the professor is definitely alive and well, and even though he is now at Chelsea, Rorschach always has a feeling that someone is watching.
With such terrible power handed over to him, will Professor Logan leave some backhand for countermeasures?
A fool can't be a professor.
So...... Between Rorschach and Professor Rogan, sooner or later, there will be a fight to the death.
He doesn't like the feeling of being controlled by people everywhere.
Moreover, Rorschach Morrison also has hidden secrets that he has not said, and Rorschach vaguely feels that after this person seems to have inadvertently killed his mother, he is trying to familiarize himself with and control those strange abilities that do not belong to him.
This was discovered by Rorschach when Avella suddenly burst out of that terrifying power.
Avella said that when she was a child, like Rorschach Morrison, she was able to see many strange things that ordinary people could not see.
But at some point in the growth stage, this ability suddenly and strangely disappeared, and it was not restored until some time ago.
Did something special happen some time ago?
Of course.
Rorschach Morrison is dead, and Rorschach is coming.
Therefore, Rorschach had to suspect that Avella's own anomaly was sealed by Morrison, who had been able to skillfully use certain terrifying abilities for a long time.
Brother, sister, both of them have anomalies, and there seems to be an extremely terrifying existence in their bodies.
Can their parents be ordinary people?
There was no need to verify this, and Rorschach was able to confirm that one of Avella and Morrison's parents was still alive, and it was not impossible that they were even alive.
After the death of his mother, Morrison has been pretending to be a taciturn, self-contained and cowardly fool, and with his tongue that is not too much to say about Rorschach, he will definitely not be a person who is willing to be bullied.
It's easy to disguise himself as an ordinary person, but he is not disguising himself as an ordinary person at all, but as a wasted person!
Not only that, but he also sealed Avella's special abilities.
The answer is obvious.
One day in the past, young Rorschach Morrison sensed certain gazes staring at him and Avella, and, understanding their intentions—
If they are excellent and grow up smoothly, they will encounter some things that he can't accept, but with the power he has, it is not enough to fight against each other, so he has to make himself a waste person and make Avella an ordinary person.
Rorschach lay on his back on the bed, his mind combing through the clues one by one.
Morrison's reason for not telling him this was simple, he didn't trust Rorschach, especially after seeing Rorschach's memories.
Rorschach himself is self-aware of this, as Mrs. Huo Yi said, he is not even a hypocrite.
A long period of solitude has made him a selfish, domineering, indifferent, self-motivated, and has the heart to take revenge on the world, but he has no courage to take revenge on the world.
It is impossible for this kind of person to take the initiative to help others, whether it is Cornelia or Avella, the reason why Rorschach will help them is because they released their kindness first, so that Rorschach realized that he was "being helped", so he would return the favor.
Morrison didn't believe he was too normal.
Of course, Rorschach has no regrets.
All this made him curious at best.
The world is too mysterious, and it's huge.
The so-called Four Kingdoms of the South are only the bottom corner of the entire territory of the South.
Just now at the dinner table, Rorschach learned that there is such a thing as a steam train, or ...... The discovery of steam power did not come from the four kingdoms of the south at all, but the great empire that occupied the entire eastern part of the south - the Baijan Empire.
Rorschach could not find any knowledge of the Baijani Empire in his memory, and after a brief conversation about Berwenkins, he did not continue.
But from his mouth, Rorschach could vaguely perceive that the atmosphere of the Baijani Empire was completely different from that of the Four Kingdoms, and the words and language were also different.
Could it be that there's a guy over there, too?
Rorschach had a whim.
At this moment, in his ears, a cry was faintly heard?
"Woo ......"
"Woo-"
Poignant and intermittent, who is it?
