Chapter 41: Blonde Shota
The silence between the two didn't last long, and soon, Rorschach and Avella turned their heads in one direction at the same time.
"Rustleβ"
"Rustleβ"
Something is coming through the jungle.
In the yellow mist, you can faintly see that look, a humanoid ......
Monsters?
It's too late to dodge now, and speaking of which, why is this thing's movement so small? It was only discovered when I walked so close.
Moreover, he is also very small......
Is it that off-white monster?
That should still be able to deal with it, not a big problem.
At this time, only to hear the sound of "brush", a figure brushed aside the branches, revealing his true face.
Rorschach and Avella, who had been on high alert, were dumbfounded.
"Kids?"
Rorschach was relieved, even he didn't expect to meet a child in such a place?
It was an eight- or nine-year-old boy who was wearing a plain white shirt with a handsome preppy uniform and a black bow tied at the neckline.
The slender eyebrows are slightly raised, and under the long and slightly curled eyelashes, there are a pair of clear eyes like gold, a straight nose, and pale lips, which look particularly three-dimensional against the background of fair skin.
And the most impressive thing is his sun-like blonde hair.
Rorschach swore he had never seen such pure blonde hair.
The boy who walked through the bushes also seemed startled, and as soon as he spoke, he made Rorschach stumble and almost fall to the ground.
"Living?"
Avella was startled and looked at the child in disbelief.
How did a mature uncle voice come out of the throat of an eight- or nine-year-old child?
Heaven is indeed fair...... gave this child a whitewashed face, and gave him the voice of an uncle who captivated the country and the city.
"Where's your family? Dead? β
Rorschach's questioning style has always been simple, brutal and aggressive.
"Trouble...... You two children, don't go far with me. Blonde Shota said in an uncle's voice.
"Huh?" Rorschach walked up to him, squatted down, and looked up seriously, "It's not dark yet, and you start talking in your sleep?" β
As he spoke, Rorschach noticed what he was carrying, a large black box.
"What is this?" The black box was almost half his size, which made people curious.
"Don't touch it!"
The blonde boy's face changed, and he slapped Rorschach.
Rorschach didn't care much about it, after all, a child, no matter how strong he is, how much can he do?
But...... When the child's hand touched him, Rorschach knew he was wrong.
"Bang ......"
As if he had been struck by lightning, he fell directly to the ground.
The tension that had disappeared just now returned to Rorschach and Avella.
The two looked at the boy with a large black box in his hand with vigilance, Rorschach took a few steps back, rolled over and got up, and asked:
"Who are you?"
β¦β¦
In a burrow.
"I knew that the Church of Order would send someone to Martintown, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Cornelia from this generation." Elsa looked at Cornelia with some excitement.
Cornelia didn't say much, and as she passed through the section where she had just entered the cave, the surroundings gradually became spacious, and the twisted corpses embedded in the walls were gone.
Hearing this at this moment, she just said, "It's just me." β
"What?" Elsa didn't quite understand what she meant.
Cornelia stopped, looked at her earnestly, and said again, "The Church of Order, it's just me. β
Elsa didn't know how to answer for a while.
Is the Order Church experiencing any difficulties?
Though...... Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer religious people.
Even the Order Church has made great efforts to be preserved.
Thirty years ago, the four kingdoms of the South, which were incompatible, suddenly announced that they would join forces to deal with religious issues within the country.
Since then, all religions that have been deemed illegal have been vigorously eradicated.
Each country retains only one religion, and that religion ...... It undoubtedly became an instrument of royal power.
This is also an important reason why the church of order can survive.
Its teachings are very conducive to domination, so ...... Karl II, the previous king of the kingdom of Lear, abandoned the Church of Morninglight, which had the largest population base and the friendliest doctrine, and chose the Church of Order.
Elsa's gaze is a little complicated, is the Order Church about to become history?
Suddenly, something came to mind.
I heard that Bishop Girome had exhausted all means in front of the old duke, so he asked for this opportunity to enter Martintown and investigate the anomaly.
Perhaps, this is also the last chance for the Church of Order to turn around?
Now it seems that Bishop Girome should have made the right bet.
Monsters will reappear, and faith in the gods will be re-established.
This has always been the case in the world, where light and shadow are not opposites, but interdependent.
God is the same, without unexplained horror, without unimaginable mystery, without creatures beyond cognition, God is no longer believed.
So...... The moment when the monster reappears in the world will also be the moment when the flame of faith is ignited again.
Elsa is smarter than many people think, she does see something, something ...... Today's Rorschach doesn't have anything to think about.
It's not just the Ministry of Defense that needs these monsters of the Esoteric Sect......
Elsa interrupted her thoughts, she didn't believe that Cornelia would come with some ulterior mission, she was a very simple, reliable person.
Well, visible to the naked eye.
So, in order to comfort her, Elsa didn't have anything to say: "The captain of our special defense department is also here, if you see him, you will definitely be shocked......"
β¦β¦
"Huh? Captain? β
Rorschach looked at the serious blonde Shota in disbelief.
"I'm the captain of the night team of the Dulan Special Defense Department, Charles Levy."
The mature baritone is still so beautiful, but in the body in front of you, how uncomfortable it is.
"Then do you know the name of the members of the Special Defense Department who are guarding the Vaal neighborhood?" Rorschach was going to test him.
Zhengtai, who called himself Levi, glanced at Rorschach with some confusion and said, "It's Jason and Elsa, you know them?" β
Rorschach was stunned, this kid is really the captain?
What is the Special Defense Department doing? Is this not child labor? Or is it ...... He's actually in his thirties, but he doesn't look old?
"How old are you?" Rorschach asked reluctantly.
"Eight and a half years old." Levi replied solemnly, but the appearance of this expression on his handsome little face only made him look more annoying.
That's when it happened.
Knock β
Knock Knock β
Suddenly, there was a violent crash from the black box.
Even its surface is distorted!
Rorschach and Avella's hearts tightened at the same time, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
At the same time, the two of them felt that there seemed to be something terrible in the box, and they woke up......
