Chapter 267: Connections Beyond Time and Space
Seventy years ago in New York, the original location of the Tinder Source Company was a movie theater before it was remodeled. If he hadn't checked the map, Rorschach wouldn't have known.
The location he teleported over was indeed the location of the Tinder Source Company, but unfortunately, the space was right, but the time was ridiculously wrong.
To this day, Rorschach still can't accept that he has returned to the past seventy years ago.
"Finally, I found something I wanted to do, met some friends, and had a group of loyal subordinates, and the result was ...... Gustav, do you think I'm unlucky? Rorschach complained to his only subordinate now.
Gustav: "......"
Rorschach couldn't help but stretch out his hand to cover his face, why was it Gustav's iron lump that was teleported with him, even if it was Luo Fei's unreliable one, at least he could chat with himself.
If he hadn't been sent here alone, Rorschach himself would probably have forgotten about his existence as he walked.
Fortunately, in fact, it is not yet the time of despair.
Because just after teleporting, when he met Rogers, Rorschach also received a message from seventy years later.
It was Ancient One's message to him: "Dark Ritual." ”
There was only one word, but Rorschach understood it.
The Ancient One is able to manipulate time gems and reverse time. It may not be possible to distort the time of the entire universe, but it can create a short time loop, just like Rorschach's constant resurrection in situ.
Therefore, the ancient one has a way of taking himself back seventy years later.
It's just that in the countless branches of time, the only way to find Rorschach is to rely on the revised dark ritual to contact Rorschach.
The original Dark Ritual comes from Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Plane, and Dormammu himself has abilities similar to those that transcend time, but is less than the Infinity Stones that appeared when the universe was born.
As a result, the Dark Ritual is also able to barely connect beyond time.
It's just that this effect is the same as network latency, and it took Rorschach three days to fully receive the word Dark Ritual alone.
Maybe the ancient one has something else to say to himself, but if he wants to accept it completely, he doesn't know when he will have to wait.
Therefore, Rorschach must first live in this seventy-year-old world.
"Hey, Luo Fei, what are you thinking?"
While Rorschach was thinking, a pale-faced Rogers chased after him.
"Rogers, I can do it alone, you don't really have to worry about me." Rorschach said helplessly.
On the day they met him at the cinema, Rorschach was naked, so he had to make up a reason for being robbed and casually say a fake name. In this era, although McCarthyism has not yet emerged, a Chinese American can easily be called the object of bullying.
Therefore, Rogers did not doubt it.
And because Rorschach was unfamiliar with life at that time, he was taken to his home by Rogers and stayed for two days.
And today, Rorschach received the last pronunciation of "Dark Ritual", which is considered to be the meaning of the ancient one, so he does not plan to stay in Rogers' house.
It's just that the future Captain America with a shocking sense of justice thought that Rorschach's pride couldn't accept eating and living for nothing, so he chased after him and wanted to keep Rorschach.
"Luo Fei, I know that it is very difficult for you to live alone in this place. Although I am not financially rich, I can still help you. Rogers said to Rorschach very sincerely.
This is a person who cannot be hated in any way, and Rorschach understands how this spiritual leader can become a superpower.
However, Rorschach really didn't want to have too much contact with him, because he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not change history. If this is the case, will it have any impact on future generations?
Before figuring out the situation, Rorschach felt that it was better to stay away from such key people as much as possible.
Although, Rorschach is not a person from this world, and changes in the world line should not affect his own existence. But accidentally, Howard and his wife are a few days late, will Tony Stark become Nini Stark? I can't say for sure.
But before Rorschach could figure out a way to get rid of Rogers, a good Samaritan, he found himself unwittingly in a dead end.
"Alas, it was easy to get lost in New York 70 years ago." Rorschach whispered.
"Luo Fei, what did you just say?" Rogers asked curiously.
"Nothing, please don't care. I can take care of myself, I suggest you go back. Rorschach said to Rogers.
But before Rogers could reply, he heard someone say rudely, "None of you can go back." ”
Outside the alley, three big men walked in, looking like the typical American gangsters who took risks after losing their jobs.
In this era, the United States was in a state of economic depression because of the war. The real dividends of war can only be seen after the war is over. As a result, American society at this time was quite turbulent.
In order to support the war, the economy across the country was not doing so well that unemployment remained high. Many people have turned from ordinary people to criminals, and the few in front of them are estimated to be a small part of them.
The big man who took the bottle and poured himself a sip of whiskey said to Rogers, "The country is at war, and you are with a spy, what kind of conspiracy do you have?" ”
"Sir, you misunderstood, my friend is not a spy." Rogers explained seriously.
However, this politeness and politeness were exchanged for a flying bottle.
This man actually threw the wine bottle directly at the door of Rogers' head, and if it hadn't been for Rorschach's quick catch, Rogers would have been smashed to the point that his head would have been bleeding.
It's all already done, so there's nothing to say.
The three big white men drew their daggers and rushed over, as if intending to kill them first and then see what was worthy, which was quite cruel but quite safe. For these people who have lost hope for the future and just want to vent, both morality and law have lost their meaning.
Luckily, Rorschach is particularly good at communicating with this kind of person.
You don't need to use words, just use your fists and feet.
Even if he doesn't use his superpowers, he can deal with three drunken drunkards with only one dagger as a weapon, and Rorschach is very proficient.
Rogers only felt a dazzling punch and kick, and the three big men were beaten to the ground, and Rorschach didn't even mess up his clothes.
"You see, I said that I can take care of myself, and I can easily handle twice as many people like this." Rorschach said to Rogers.
"Then it was probably God who robbed you two days ago, right?" Rogers asked.
Rorschach: "......"
It turns out that Captain America still has the talent of a poisonous tongue, and sure enough, heroes have a dark side?
Just as Rorschach was about to run away without being polite and dump Rogers, he received another message from the Ancient One.
This time, it's no longer just a word, it's a whole paragraph.
