Chapter 49: A Little Light in Despair

Skye has always felt that her luck is very bad, she has been an orphan since she was a child, and she has been adopted several times, but she is a little out of place with those new "parents".

Then, she suddenly found that her past seemed to be a blank slate, and her life trajectory could not find any information on the Internet. And the news belonging to the biological parents seems to have been deliberately erased.

There must be some secret in this, maybe his parents did not abandon him, but disappeared for some unavoidable reason.

Every orphan has fantasies about their biological parents, and most of them have a more positive image.

As a result, Skye escaped from the orphanage before he was an adult, intending to solve the mystery on his own.

It's a pity that a little girl has to live independently in a place like New York, and you can imagine how difficult it is. That's why she lives in the sewers and is a neighbor with rats and cockroaches.

It's just that I didn't expect that luck would be so bad. As soon as he made up his mind to leave the sewers, he was kidnapped and sent to this strange laboratory.

Looking at the charred corpse being dragged away in front of him, Skye knew he would soon follow in his footsteps.

The second human test subject struggled frantically, and was finally knocked unconscious and thrown into the sleeping pod.

Skye could see through the outer glass cover that the man had been injected with some unknown ingredient in a coma, and then there was a flash of lightning, which seemed to bombard him.

When the bright light dissipated, the person inside emitted a puff of green smoke, and the whole person was already charred black.

"Damn, failed again, move on to the next one!" The cold and unforgiving sound is transmitted to the laboratory through electronic speakers. This demon who controls everything behind the scenes can't see his true face, but the last sentence alone already makes people feel his ruthlessness and viciousness.

After watching a hellish performance, Skye's fear grew wildly, almost making her faint.

"Help me, who will save me......" Skye's eyes had become hollow, and only the only belief in his heart remained.

Unfortunately, the miracle didn't seem to happen until Skye's first few test subjects were all charred and she was crammed into the chamber without resistance.

The moment the hatch closed, Skye smelled the scorching stench of the corpses inside, and finally closed his eyes in despair. In a few moments, I will be turned into a charred corpse.

Just as Skye waited for the bright light to descend, suddenly it went dark. Skye thought it was her eyes that had lost their sight due to the bright light.

But how can it not hurt at all?

Immediately after, there was a roar in the laboratory: "Why is the power cut off?" Go fix it for me! ”

"What's out there? Looks like someone has broken in! ”

"Go check it out!"

……

The jumbled words were followed by a rush of footsteps, as if someone had rushed out.

"It's ...... Luck? Skye seemed a little incredulous.

Just desperately thought that he was going to die a miserable torture, but suddenly there was a power outage?

When Skye's eyes adjusted to the darkness, he realized that the hatch had been silently opened, and he didn't know if it was the cause of the power outage.

In the almost pitch black environment, suddenly a little fluorescence flickered in front of Skye, like a small firefly, constantly circling in figure 8.

As if a divine messenger, Skye felt that the firefly was signaling to him, so he carefully crawled out of the cabin and followed the firefly. It's as if this is a ray of light guiding oneself in the midst of despair.

It was just a faint glow, but barely enough to make Skye see the way. Walking all the way through two doors, it seems that you have come to a room where cleaning tools are placed.

The fireflies floated up and landed on top of a mirror.

Skye leaned over to take a look, only to find that the firefly had transformed into a stereoscopic projection of Rorschach's upper body.

"Skye, are you alright?" Rorschach's voice came from inside the apparition, as if it had been subjected to electromagnetic interference, and it was a little unclear.

Hearing this, Skye almost didn't cry. But the strong girl endured it, and then said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine, how did you find me?" ”

Rorschach didn't explain much, but comforted Skye and said, "You can stay here in peace, and wait until tomorrow, you should be fine." I'll explain to you when you're safe from here. ”

Skye nodded vigorously, then curled herself up in the corner of the room. Rorschach's stereoscopic image vanished, and the room was once again darkened, with even the slightest fluorescence from before.

This time, though, Skye was no longer scared.

I don't know how long it was, but Skye was so tired that she fell asleep directly on the floor. It wasn't until she was woken up by the bright light that Skye realized it was the next morning.

And this light came from the door of the room.

Skye looked nervously at the man who opened the door, a strange dark-haired man. Thinking that he was still in danger, Skye grabbed a mop from the side and smashed it over.

Unexpectedly, the man easily grabbed the other end of the mop, and then made a silent gesture at Skye.

In the midst of his doubts, the man's face changed, revealing a face that belonged to Rorschach.

"Don't get excited, I'll take you away." Rorschach said to Skye with a smile.

The fear that had been forcibly suppressed for many days finally erupted at this moment, gushing out along with tears. Skye crashed into Rorschach's arms, crying.

Rorschach was hugged hard by Skye, so embarrassed that he didn't know how to put his hands. Why is this girl so fragile all of a sudden?

When I met her in the sewer, she was still scheming with herself, and when she was communicating on video last night, she still looked calm, but now she ......

However, Rorschach had no choice but to pat Skye on the shoulder and comfort, "Okay, it's all over." ”

It took a while for Skye to calm down.

Rorschach changed his face and walked out of the room with Skye. Following Rorschach in silence, Skye felt that his mind was a little confused, and he really couldn't understand how Rorschach had found him, and why he would risk saving him, the stranger who had deceived him.

While he was thinking wildly, he saw Rorschach take him with him, and join a large group of people, all of whom were wearing the same prison clothes as himself.

A man with a guide stick and sunglasses said to Rorschach, "Are you all together?" ”

"Well, it's the last one." Rorschach replied.

Then the blind man turned to a man in military uniform and said, "Then Mr. Bronsky, now that we are all together, let us sign a non-disclosure agreement." ”

The soldier, who looked a little diminutive, took the paper from the blind man's hand, signed his name with an unkind face, and turned to leave.

Then Rorschach said happily, "All right, you're free." ”

Although Rorschach was saying this to everyone, Skye felt that his eyes were looking at him.
