Chapter 22: The Vortex of Memory

"You save some food, I have these two loaves of bread in my arms, and the rest is left in the car."

Rorschach painedly handed one of Cornelia's last two white loaves of bread.

He didn't know how long he would be trapped in this thick fog, and if he was trapped for three or five days, it would be a problem to eat and drink at that time.

However, not long after he said this, he noticed that Cornelia was staring at him.

"What's wrong? Didn't you stop eating? Rorschach glanced up and down, and was suddenly stunned, "Where's your bread?" ”

"Eaten." Cornelia said honestly.

"......" Rorschach almost choked on his own saliva, for the sake of you saving me......

"Eat slowly!" Rorschach broke half and handed it to her.

Cornelia hesitantly took it, holding half a white loaf of bread, and finally listened to Rorschach's words, and began to eat it in small bites.

Rorschach leaned against the trunk of the tree and glanced at her inadvertently.

Strange flowers bloomed at her feet, unseen insects jumped between the branches and leaves, the sweet fragrance in the mist and the occasional glimmer of sunlight intertwined, transparent and colorful sprinkled on her long ice blue hair, like a dream that she had never woken up......

Noticing Rorschach's gaze, Cornelia wiped her face.

Rorschach quickly looked away, shoved the bread into his mouth and bit down hard as he looked away.

"You like me?"

"Ahem! Ahem, ahem, ahem...... Rorschach almost choked on bread, and he looked at Cornelia with wide eyes, "Are you stupid to eat bread?" ”

Although Rorschach denied it, Cornelia was rare and confirmed: "I have seen the eyes of my lover in the church, just like you just did." ”

Rorschach turned his head weakly: "You're just...... It's a bit like a friend from my hometown. ”

Cornelia was a little curious: "Your hometown?" Aren't you from Duran? ”

Rorschach snorted: "The hometown of my ancestors, am I not in Dulan now?" ”

Cornelia stared at Rorschach, "What's your hometown like?" ”

Rorschach thought about it, and didn't know how to describe the other world after thinking about it for a long time.

The place where he had lived for many years suddenly felt very unfamiliar.

Because it, like Dulan, never really accepted him.

So he was just silent.

"Isn't it good?"

"Good...... Very good! Rorschach suddenly opened his mouth, he raised his head, and looked at the leaf cracks that leaked a ray of sunlight, "There are iron birds flying in the sky, there are huge ships that can go down to the deep sea, you can immediately see people thousands of miles away, and you can quickly know what is happening in the world......"

Rorschach blew the sky wildly, true, fake, and his own cranky thoughts, all of which were said in one go.

Cornelia leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked at him quietly, like a quiet cat.

"So it's good, it's good......" Rorschach's voice grew quieter, so small that it was hard to hear.

It's true...... All right?

Alone, locked in a narrow cement box, loneliness is getting closer, the sky is getting farther and farther away.

Every Chinese New Year, Rorschach locks himself up alone.

It is usually cold during that time.

Looking at the fireworks in the sky, it will be colder than ever.

When I was sick, I was lying alone in bed, cold and hungry.

He couldn't do anything but stare at the ceiling in a daze.

The darkness and silence in the room were like a thin, sharp knife that could easily kill a young man who had left his homeland.

Rorschach doesn't like to hang out on the holidays.

Once there is a festival, there will be lights everywhere.

The children in the city will run around the streets in new clothes and pants, and he doesn't like children, and he doesn't like the old people.

Both seemed to him to be willful people who squandered and pampered, and he was envious and jealous, because he knew that he did not have that kind of life.

Whether it is the previous life or this life, his fate seems to be the same.

His parents died when he was very young, sick and died in his bed.

It was winter, Rorschach remembers.

He stood motionless in the ice cellar-like room, the laughter of the old people outside grew louder and louder, and the frolic of children grew louder and louder, and more and more firecrackers were set off.

The mother lay on the bed and didn't say anything, just wept silently.

When the tears are dry, the person is gone.

Since then, Rorschach has hated the Chinese New Year even more, and he hates the elderly and children even more.

He began to like to make fun of everything in an hateful tone, just to see the unhappiness that flashed on their faces.

Why?

They were born so happy?

The mottled memories did not blossom in the memories, but crushed into mud, leaving Rorschach in a mess.

"Don't ask, don't ask! Annoying? ”

He looked at Cornelia impatiently, even though she hadn't spoken at all.

Cornelia's expression was silent, and her right hand was already quietly gripping the hilt of the sword.

Rorschach's neck shrank: "Can't afford to play?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard ...... The sound of battle!

Cornelia stood up vigilantly and looked in a certain direction in the fog, where someone was fighting monsters!

"One, two, three...... Four moving things, two humans and two monsters. Rorschach closed his eyes and listened carefully to the movement.

I don't know why, but the not big battle movement in his ears actually formed a picture clearly.

He opened his eyes and looked at Cornelia, both of whom saw the other's decision.

……

"Limu!"

Elsa couldn't hold it anymore, and she began to regret it, regretting that she had trusted this man.

He clearly used the large army as bait and wanted to escape from this forest alone.

Although they said it soundingly, what had already given everyone a chance, it was they who chose to give up.

In fact, even if several people came forward at the same time, he would reject most of them for various reasons, and at most choose one or two to join him.

Because once there are too many people...... will attract the attention of those monsters.

and, affecting his control of the Pathfinder Team.

"Poof......

Elsa's feet began to mess up, and she didn't pay attention, and she was rubbed on the back with a hammer.

Although it didn't hit directly, it also made her face turn white suddenly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Finished......

Elsa looked resentfully at Limu's location, however, it was empty?

Has he already run away?

As she thought so, a terrifying scream of monsters rang out around her.

Elsa immediately turned her head to see a dagger deep into the monster's back.

"I didn't have enough opportunities just now, but now, it's enough." Limu's voice wasn't too convincing, but Elsa was relieved by his actions at the moment.

At least...... Not to the worst of it?

It's just that when Elsa took a breath, she found that her lungs hurt hotly, and it seemed that the blow just now hurt her more than she imagined.

Liam...... What kind of person is he?
