Chapter 22: Osborne's Response
"Who am I? Sorry, you don't have the right to ask questions at this time. Now about your research, are you going to work on biological weapons? Rorschach said playfully to Dr. Connors.
"No, it's just a healing potion, and I'm going to remove the side effects of the potion, it's going to be an epoch-making potion, and it can repair all the external injuries." Dr. Connors said excitedly.
"Including the regeneration of severed limbs, right?" Rorschach pointed to Dr. Connors' severed arm.
"It's my long-cherished wish." Dr. Connors admitted.
"Well, I can understand that. I have a comrade-in-arms who broke both arms when he was defusing a bomb with a mine. He told me that even after three years, he still dreams of his hands when he sleeps. And every time he saw his son throwing a ball at him, he couldn't help but move his only half of his arm. ”
"And then?" Dr. Connors asked.
"Then he switched careers to prosthetic limbs, and was finally able to play ball throwing with his son until he was 10 years old, but by then his son didn't play much with balls." Rorschach continued.
"Sad story." Dr. Connors said with emotion.
"It looks like you're creating this sad story as well. I've heard that quite a few people are missing in the sewers. The kind that does not see people in life and does not see corpses in death. Rorschach said.
"It was an accident! When I had side effects, my mind would be a little unconscious, and they would attack me......" Dr. Connors struggled to explain.
"Be reasonable, I will take the initiative to attack when I see you like that, it's your fault to be ugly and scary." Rorschach said mercilessly.
Dr. Connors was silent, and he couldn't let go of what he had done.
"Still, good news for you, the few people you killed seem to be scum." Rorschach reassured.
"So you mean I didn't do anything wrong?" Dr. Connors asked curiously.
"No, I mean you're lucky, I don't have a reason to kill you." Rorschach said.
Rorschach was not hostile to Dr. Connors, nor did he mean to eliminate him on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, Dr. Connors was very interested in Rorschach's research, although this agent had great side effects, it could really save lives at critical times.
Especially for Tony, who is about to undergo surgery, although Osborne's nanoscale surgical instrument combined with Dr. Strange's medical skills has a good chance of success.
But Rorschach also had to have a backup just in case.
"Well, congratulations, start working for me now." Rorschach said to Dr. Connors.
"Your Excellency, I don't think he's going to be loyal. Do you want me to give him an arrow to his knee, so that he will be willing to kneel before you? Violet lifted her slender arm, her palm quickly morphing into a miniature cannon barrel aimed at Dr. Connors's leg.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Dr. Connors said in horror, "What are you going to do to turn me into a monster like her?"
Bang, there was a soft sound, and the glass door of the refrigerator was shattered by a violet cannon.
"Watch your words, you sewer green-skinned lizard. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to make you want to swallow your tongue with regret. Violet coldly threatened.
Rorschach waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's be peaceful."
As Violet turned the barrel back into her palm, Rorschach continued, "Doctor, I don't really want to waste time, so let's get straight to it." You work for me from now on, perfecting your potions, and I need your research while keeping you safe. Of course, we will also provide you with appropriate experimental materials. And if you refuse, in order to keep my secret, you will have to pay for the scum of the sewers. ”
"So you're going to make me your slave for the rest of your life?" Dr. Connors asked, stumbling.
"Doctor, you think too highly of yourself, all I want is a potion." Rorschach shook his head and said.
Dr. Connors was unhappy with Rorschach's attitude, but now he had to compromise for the time being.
Deep down in his heart, he was not without hypocrisy and grievances, looking for an opportunity to re-inject himself with the medicine and then teach Rorschach a hard lesson.
It's a pity that Rorschach didn't give him this opportunity, and a silver-gray metal bracelet on the wrist of this young man who takes caution as his first personal criterion is taken off and buckled on Connorsbo's broken arm.
"A small gift, that's an advance salary."
Rorschach snapped his fingers, and the metal bracelet quickly unfolded to form a metal arm, covering the severed arm.
Dr. Connors looked at his new arm in surprise and tried to move his fingers, which were a little nimble at first. But the sensor glove seemed to be able to automatically memorize the muscle movements on his broken arm, and after a few attempts, he was able to control the arm and clench his fists.
At this rate, it only takes about two or three days of practice to be comparable to a real arm. Dr. Connors was shocked by the effect of the Sensor Gauntlet, and if he had possessed this technique, he would have gone to such great lengths to turn himself into a lizard monster.
"You feel the sincerity, but if you're going to run away, or inject yourself with potions again to resist......"
Before Rorschach could finish speaking, Dr. Connors' metal arm suddenly grabbed him by the throat. Not only that, but a sharp blade popped out of the wrist of the mechanical arm and hit his neck.
It wasn't until Dr. Connors was about to suffocate that Rorschach let go of the metal arm.
Rorschach has absolute control over all the equipment transformed with the spark source energy, which is also the confidence of Rorschach to give away the equipment casually.
"Dr. Connors, I suggest you don't do anything stupid, Violet can monitor your movements 24 hours a day without resting. And her temper, you also saw it just now. As for the experimental materials, I'll send them to you in a few days, and this place is not bad, so don't waste it. ”
With a few final reminders, Rorschach took a few potions from the cooler and left the sewer lab.
Dr. Connors tried to practice it, and found that the metal arm was really good to use, and the dexterity was not much worse than his other hand. And when Dr. Connors picked up a green healing potion, he hesitated for a long time, but never injected the liquid into his veins.
When Rorschach returned to his original location with the energy activator and the healing potion, Skye and Daisy were gone. It seems that he was frightened by the violent explosion before, and finally made up his mind to leave this sewer.
Just walking to Skye's lair, Rorschach found a note posted on the table: "I'll get you back for the money for the computer and camera later!" ”
Rorschach just smiled, not taking the little thing to heart.
Walking out of the sewers along the way he came, Rorschach took off his foul-smelling coat and was about to go home to take a shower, when Violet reminded him: "Your Excellency, Mr. Norman Osborne, President of Osborne, has agreed to your reservation. ”
"That's great, when." Rorschach asked.
"This ...... Now is the time. Violet replied awkwardly.
