Chapter 40: The Showdown

Crazy, bastard, mean, shameless......

Avella's stomach is on fire, but her upbringing and reserve make her resist the urge to swear.

Rorschach crouched in front of her for a long time, looking at her, as if thinking about something.

Avella was uncomfortable with his gaze, and was about to say something, but it was Rorschach who spoke first.

"Hey, I'll tell you a secret." Rorschach's expression made Avella a little uneasy, and the smile on his face became more and more weird, and he whispered, "I...... Not your brother. ”

Avella was shocked, and she looked at Rorschach in disbelief, hoping to see a joking look on his face.

However, now this person's expression made her completely unpredictable.

Is he serious? Or are you kidding her?

"You actually feel it, right?" Rorschach got up and leaned against the tree, "Behavior, habits, subconscious movements, word choice, temperament, and...... Eyes. ”

Seeing that Avella's eyes trembled and she didn't speak, Rorschach hugged her hands and continued: "Fortunately, your brother doesn't have any acquaintances, even if he changes his soul, it's difficult for others to notice, but you're different, Miss Avella, you actually care about him a lot, right?" ”

Avella's face turned pale, and she just wanted to refute, but suddenly realized that if everything was really as the person in front of her said, and that Rorschach's body was filled with a strange soul at the moment, wouldn't it be ......

"The reason why I'm telling you this is because I hope ......" Rorschach slowly walked up to Avella, her eyes narrowing slightly, "don't mess with me, Miss Avella." ”

A chill arose in Avella's heart, and although Rorschach was smiling, she could vaguely feel that he had indeed become a completely different person, and besides, he didn't care about her.

He ...... Already dead? Avella finally spoke.

There was something unnatural in her voice, and Rorschach noticed that her knuckles were pinched white.

She really cares about Rorschach Morrison, after all, this is the only relative she has in the world.

"It's not dead, but it's coming soon." Rorschach's words brightened Avella's eyes.

"By the way, do you know Professor Garfield Rogan?" Rorschach asked suddenly.

Avira was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I only know that he is a professor of life sciences in Dulan. ”

"He'......" Avella's eyes were puzzled.

"That's right," Rorschach confirmed her suspicions, "not only did he have something to do with your brother's death, but it is likely that he made your brother and I what we are." ”

Avella's first reaction was disbelief, how could humans have the power to manipulate souls?

But soon, she thought about what had happened today.

Her eyes had been able to see a lot of anomalous things since she was a child, but that ability suddenly disappeared one day later, and it wasn't until recently that she was able to see those mysterious and strange beings again.

She is an "outlier" herself, so it is much easier for Avella to accept the existence of extraordinary powers in the world.

Maybe Professor Logan is also an "outlier", but his ability is to play with the soul.

After thinking about this, Avella fell silent again.

You should ...... Avenge him? Also, what attitude should she use to face the person in front of her who looks exactly the same, but is actually completely different.

There was no reason for her to slap a stranger.

Moreover, if he was not Rorschach, then his previous actions were undoubtedly saving a strange woman.

"Forget it, let's skip that topic," Rorschach thought in a way that clearly surpassed Avella's expectations, "Do you remember what just happened?" ”

Rorschach looked at her with curiosity on his face.

Avella looked at him blankly, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember." ”

"So you've had this power since you were a child?"

"I ...... Since childhood, I have been able to see things that ordinary people can't see, they don't seem to be living things, but they do exist...... However, then I couldn't see it until some time ago, when I regained that ability. Avella didn't hide it, and after confirming that Rorschach was not "Rorschach", her attitude towards him changed.

He saved her, what to do in the face of his benefactor? Avella didn't know, but at least she knew she could do it.

"Looks like that kid did something to you...... Temporarily sealed the anomaly or something......" Rorschach touched his chin and nodded to himself, "I can't see it in my memory, and I really have something to hide from me......"

Rorschach had punctured Rorschach Morrison's memory bubbles, mottled and mutilated memories that he thought were normal after the death of his body's owner.

Now it seems that those memories are just what Rorschach Morrison wants him to see.

Avella, who could have seen anomalies, became like an ordinary person for a long time during the growth stage, until some time ago.

Rorschach has reason to believe that the so-called time ago was the day Rorschach Morrison died.

It was he who manipulated Avella's body for some purpose, most likely to protect her.

So...... Rorschach knew early on that ability to witness anomalies was harmful, no...... Maybe witnessing the anomaly is not an ability, but just an add-on to that ability, and Avella's real ability is the extremely terrifying locking ability that she just demonstrated.

How much else is Rorschach Morrison hiding?

Rorschach now wanted to enter the sea of knowledge and wake him up to threaten him.

I thought he was an honest and cowardly student, but I didn't expect him to be pretending to be himself all the time.

But...... If it's just a disguise, won't it be too much?

Pretending to be an ordinary person doesn't necessarily mean being bullied so badly, and it's right to fight back and scold and not return the speech.

Could it be ......

Rorschach stared at Avella seriously, and asked, "Are you sure that your biological mother and biological father are dead?" ”

Rorschach's face made Avella's heart feel awkward, and the question he asked was even more strange.

Avella wasn't stupid, she could hear what Rorschach was suspicious.

Parents didn't die? Watching them in the shadows all the time?

Ridiculous.

"Sure." Avella's mood was a little lower, she didn't really want to touch this memory, if it wasn't for the person in front of her who had just saved her, she wouldn't have answered such a question.

"Seeing it with your own eyes?" Rorschach asked again.

"I saw my mother buried with my own eyes, and he was there at the time." Avrilla looked at Rorschach with a blank face: "My father died not long after we were born, he died in a bandit, and I have no memory of him. ”

"So...... Whether your dad died or not is still uncertain. Rorschach whispered.

According to Rorschach Morrison's character, Rorschach found something abnormal, this person is definitely not a person who is easy to talk and willing to suffer, even if he wants to disguise ordinary, not to cause trouble, and to avoid this god's body from getting out of control and inadvertently hurting people, he will definitely not pretend to be a cowardly character.

Unless...... He knew that someone was watching him all the time, and that the person who was observing him didn't like to see him grow into a "good person."
