Chapter 19: Scheming

"Well, if you believe me, I can check it out for you." The little girl suggested.

"You? How to check? Rorschach asked.

"I've put a couple of cameras in this sewer, and if you can find it, it's probably the little hands in the neighborhood who did it. I can check who has been in and out today. The girl explained.

"Is there anyone else in this sewer? And what are you talking about little hands? Rorschach asked.

"Thief, we call ourselves little hands, because we just take some...... Well, not very valuable things. As for this sewer, there are actually quite a few people like me. The girl explained.

Rorschach heard this and was silent for a few seconds.

Ten meters above is bustling New York, and the place in front of you is even dirtier and messier than a slum like Hell's Kitchen. I don't know what sad experiences the people who live here have, so that they can live this kind of life without being a ghost or a ghost.

But Rorschach quickly tossed that sympathy aside, and he was not strong enough to sympathize with others casually.

"If you can help, then I really appreciate you." Rorschach said.

The girl smiled as kindly as she could, then walked over to the generator, grabbed the rocker arm and began to shake it desperately.

Judging by her movements, she is very skilled, and she should usually do this thing. However, this person was still a little too thin, and just turning on the generator made her panting.

An electric current passed through and lit up the electric light, turning this dim nest. Rorschach also discovered that there was still a small fish tank on the table, but the goldfish in it had turned its belly up.

Noticing Rorschach's gaze, the girl embarrassedly took the fish bowl into the drawer and said, "I just forgot to feed him today." ”

Rorschach just smiled and didn't say anything.

The girl turned on the computer, crackled on the keyboard for a while, and then brought up a few dynamic images.

"The camera uses a battery, but in order to save power, I modified the structure inside, so that the clarity is minimized." The girl explained to Rorschach as she operated, with a rather obvious look of pride on her face.

This is a very ordinary girl who can't help but show off her skills to others.

Rorschach praised him very knowingly and said, "Amazing, you still know this." ”

"I downloaded the tutorial from the internet, um, I still have WiFi here, I downloaded it from...... Let's get down to business, you see this is today's surveillance. The girl said, pointing to the big brick-like monitor.

Rorschach glanced at the camera as the path after the manhole cover came down, and the screen was playing the image of Rorschach jumping from it.

"But why does that look so vague?" Rorschach asked.

"Didn't I just say it, in order to save power, so the shooting is not HD, or you can look at it from the front," the girl said to Rorschach......

Rorschach didn't refuse, so he simply sat down in front of the computer and began to adjust the time of the video to see if he could find anyone else who passed through the manhole cover today.

He had only been looking for a few seconds before he heard a rush of footsteps coming from behind him.

Rorschach didn't even have to look back to know that it was the girl who had just run away, while he was focusing on the computer.

What a scheming girl! Rorschach sighed in his heart, there is no simple person who can survive in a place like Hell's Kitchen.

But Rorschach didn't look back, just touched his body to the top of the watch, pulled out a USB socket and plugged it into the computer.

"Violet, download all the data." Rorschach ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency, please give me ten seconds."

As Violet's voice sounded in Rorschach's head, the old computer hard drive made an unpleasant sound, as if it was overloaded.

Ten seconds later, Violet automatically retracted the USB cable, and the computer console was emitting a puff of green smoke and an unpleasant smell of burning.

Only then did Rorschach stand up and continue to say to Violet: "Turn on all the cameras in the vicinity and find her." ”

Just now, Violet not only packed the information in the computer, but also took control of the camera that the girl had installed in the sewer.

Violet directly linked the image to Rorschach's tactical eyepiece, and the originally blurry picture could barely recognize the silhouette of a person after processing.

The little girl was too thin to get far, but she was clever enough to make a detour, which was to bully Rorschach into not being familiar with the sewers. But with the help of several cameras, Rorschach easily blocked the girl in another equally dirty nest.

Unlike before, this nest seems to be a little more decadent, and Rorschach even smells of marijuana.

When Rorschach arrived, the skinny Asian girl was arguing quietly with another man.

"Daisy, I told you to return this thing, and now the owner has come to you. I know he's not an ordinary person, if he finds you, it's over, he has a gun! ”

"Skye, I'm not doing it for myself, this is our best chance to get out of here! The gem was sold, and the money was enough for us to find a place to live on the ground. Do you know that a small hand suddenly disappeared recently, and I can't live or die, and I can't live a day in the sewers. ”

Rorschach didn't rush in, but just hid around the corner and turned on the perspective function of the tactical eyepiece. A hexagonal crystal was sitting on the table, the energy activator Rorschach was looking for.

Having found what he wanted, Rorschach didn't waste time, and walked out of the darkness directly to the two girls and said, "Sorry to disturb your chat, but I'm in a hurry." ”

Only then did Rorschach see the other girl's appearance, it looked like a white girl, but the Asian girl named Skye was much plumper.

The girl named Daisy saw that Rorschach was about to take the energy activator away, and quickly grabbed a wine bottle from the side and said to him, "Don't move! Otherwise, I'll make your head open! ”

Rorschach's movements paused, and he saw that Daisy's hand holding the bottle was shaking, and the girl had not shown such courage in her heart.

"I sympathize with what you're going through, but please put this thing down, or I'll see it as a provocation to me." Rorschach said as he pulled out the Colt M1911 pistol from behind him.

As soon as Daisy saw that Rorschach had a gun, she immediately put down the wine bottle and said, "Okay, you take the things, I have absolutely no opinion." ”

Rorschach put away the energy activator and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he said to the two girls, "No one is born to live in the sewers, if you need help, go to the law firm of Nelson Murdoch, I think someone inside will be happy to help you." ”

With the things in hand, Rorschach has no intention of holding the two thief girls responsible. It can be seen that these two must have been forced by life to steal things, so they simply asked them to go to the messenger of justice, Matt, believing that this lawyer and vigilante can help them get out of this sewer.

Just as he was about to leave the place, Rorschach heard a loud thud. Immediately afterward, Violet issued a warning: "Your Excellency, Commander, something has destroyed two of the cameras. ”

A blurry photograph appeared on Rorschach's tactical eyepiece, a behemothic phantom that looked like some kind of strange humanoid monster.

Rorschach turned his head and asked Skye and Daisy, "You said that many of the people who live in this sewer are missing?" ”
