Chapter 100: The Source of Flame and Blood

When Lorna woke up, she found herself taped to a wooden chair, and there was not the slightest metal in the vicinity of fifty meters in diameter.

The sky was already bright, and the sun was shining warmly on my body.

In front of me is an empty square, which looks like it is used for loading and unloading goods. But now there is not even a car, just a lonely wooden chair on the concrete floor.

In front of Lorna, there were two people, a man and a woman, the man was naturally Rorschach, and the woman was Wanda the Scarlet Witch.

"Finally woke up, and I'm worried that when you wake up halfway, I'll knock you out again. At that point, unpredictable damage can occur. Rorschach said to Lorna.

Lorna didn't speak, just stared at Rorschach. This is not the first time she has been caught, and she has already seen more dangerous scenes, so she behaves quite calmly.

"I've asked you about it, you're a mutant, right? Because after the mutant registration bill, your fellow citizens have been severely discriminated against. I can understand your hostility towards other people, but what I want to ask is why you guys kidnapped Claire. She's just a nurse, and she's not a mutant yet. Rorschach asked.

Lorna frowned, but didn't answer the question.

Wanda, who was on the other hand, opened her mouth and said, "She didn't kidnap Claire, but wanted to protect her." ”

When Lorna heard this, she turned her head in shock to look at this girl who was not much older than herself, and asked, "You are also a mutant?" Telepathic abilities? ”

Wanda didn't answer, she didn't even know if she was a mutant or not. Anyway, I haven't done the X gene test, but in terms of ability, it's a bit similar to a mutant.

"Well, now is not the time for you to ask." Rorschach interrupted Lorna.

"You're going to protect Claire? So why attack us again? Do you have any relationship with the people at Roxon? Rorschach continued.

Knowing that there was a telepathic beside her, Lorna didn't mean to keep her mouth shut, so she explained, "I didn't know that Claire in the first place, but Eric brought it here. We had planned to leave New York to find a place to settle down in the north, and then bring more of our compatriots out of the big cities. Mutants do not discriminate against humans, and we allow companions to bring their own family and friends. ”

The last sentence seems to have been deliberately addressed to Rorschach.

"Do you know who that Eric Severn is?" Rorschach asked.

"Like me, a homeless mutant who was lying under the overpass like a homeless man, I brought him back." Lorna said.

This is extremely true, but it also hurts Rorschach to hear it. What kind of mutant is the Desperate Virus! Artificial superpower mutations also count?

"It seems that your organization is really short of people, and you didn't even know who this Eric Severn was." Rorschach said with emotion.

"What do you mean by that?" Lorna asked, a little nervously.

"As long as you have special abilities, you can use them for your own use, whether he is a criminal or not?" Rorschach asked.

"Hehe, after that damn bill passed, all of us mutants were criminals." Lorna said disdainfully.

"Including murder, arson, kidnapping, robbery?"

Rorschach's words stunned Lorna, and then the little girl retorted, "Do you think I'll believe what you say?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but I still suggest that you pay more attention when recruiting people in the future."

Rorschach didn't convince Lorna, and even left her alone after saying this, leaving the empty place with Wanda.

"Rorschach, what are you going to do with this man?" Wanda asked quietly as she followed Rorschach.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to her. I'll let her go in a minute. Anyway, I already have what I want. Rorschach said.

"But can't we keep her?" Wanda asked.

"Stay?" Rorschach sensed that Wanda was a little concerned about the girl with long green hair.

"I just think she feels a lot like me. You see, she is also alone, has special abilities, and has experienced a lot of suffering...... At least I have Pietro, but she's the only one on herself. Wanda said that she suddenly felt that this little girl was really like herself, like a natural sister.

"So you're going to adopt her when she's a homeless kitten?" Rorschach was a little surprised by Wanda's idea.

"I know this might be a bit difficult for you, but ......," Wanda wanted to explain.

After all, she is also under the fence now, how can she be embarrassed to open her mouth and let Rorschach raise someone, and she is still a mutant who may cause big trouble.

"It's okay, as long as you can convince her to volunteer to stay, there are still hundreds of vacant rooms in the staff dormitory." Rorschach said, waving his hand.

Raising one more person is not a cost to Rorschach. And, if Lorna can volunteer to stay, then Rorschach's next plans may be much smoother.

Just last night, after Rorschach confirmed the changes in his body, he had a bolder idea. If it can be achieved, it may not be necessary to build up strength as cautiously as it is now.

Wanda got Rorschach's consent, and was excited like a child, hugged Rorschach hard and said, "Rorschach, you are so good to me." ”

After saying that, without waiting for Rorschach to respond, he ran back to Lorna's side. Rorschach looked at the two fair-skinned little girls from a distance, and vaguely, he really felt that the two were somewhat similar.

However, one is obviously of Russian descent and the other is a typical white European and American, so it shouldn't matter much, right?

Rorschach put this unreliable idea aside and handed Lorna to Wanda to deal with.

Rorschach himself came to the Hive Lab and took a look at Eric Severn, who was still trapped in the bare egg. Nowadays, only this half-finished portal is suitable for imprisoning the Reinforcements of the Desperate Virus.

"Mr. Eric Severn, I really don't want to see you again. It's just that your vitality is a little more tenacious than I thought. Rorschach said to Eric Severn through the orange curtain of light.

"What about Claire? Where did you get her? Eric Severn didn't care about his situation, but excitedly asked about the nurse's safety.

"Of course you were sent back to the hospital? Do you know that people who are absent from work will be expelled from their wages by deducting their wages? Do you plan to pay for lost work in the middle of the night in cash or by card? Rorschach asked rhetorically.

Eric Severn felt like he understood Rorschach, but he didn't.

"What the hell are you playing?" Eric Severn said.

"I'm not going to play tricks, and I'm not going to explain it to you. Anyway, you just need to understand that in fact we are the good people, and you were a bad person before you lost your memory. That's enough. ”

After Rorschach finished speaking, he carefully controlled the orange-red light egg and opened a small hole only the thickness of a finger. Then, a robotic arm with a needle barrel quickly pierced into it, drawing a tube of blood from Eric Severn's body.

Before Eric Severn could heat up and melt the syringe, the arm was quickly retracted, and the bare egg was back in perfect condition.

Rorschach ignored Eric Severn, who was locked up, and took the blood from the needle, and then poured the Tinder energy into the tube.
