Chapter 72: Happy Things

The moment Rorschach opened the door, Skye almost jumped in fright.

"Rorschach, you...... Why are you here? Skye asked nervously.

Rorschach thought for a moment, and said in a softer tone as much as possible, "Skye, I told you before that it's best to get out of your previous sewer life as soon as possible. If you need help with something, you can ask Matt or even me for help, there is no need to continue doing these petty thefts. ”

Skye's eyes widened and he said, "What? You think I'm here to steal? ”

"Isn't it?" Rorschach asked curiously.

The security in this place is poor enough, and the apartment next to Ward has already been broken into. Skye a girl sneaked up and touched it, and the wire in her hand and the wire used to open the lock were still in her hand, isn't this stealing or sending warmth to the community?

"Of course not, I ......"

Skye was about to explain, but Li Bai reminded: "Your Excellency, Commander, someone is going upstairs, listening to the sound of footsteps, I am afraid that the owner of the house has returned." ”

Hearing Li Bai's voice, Skye noticed that there were two palm-sized robots standing behind Rorschach.

"Wow, what is this? What a delicate robot! Skye said with emotion.

Rorschach didn't have time to explain, Li Bai sensed that Ward was back, and if he found out, it would be a waste of his efforts.

"How far?" Rorschach asked.

Li Bai closed his eyes, seemed to be listening, and then said, "I am already going upstairs, and there are still twenty-three steps to the corridor." ”

The hallway was straight, and as soon as Ward walked up to the hallway, he could see the door to his room at a glance.

Rorschach said without hesitation: "Li Bai, you restore the scene, don't let Ward find out." ”

With that, Rorschach pulled Skye open the door and went out into the hallway.

No sooner had he closed the door than Rorschach heard Ward's footsteps. However, Li Bai was still in the room at this time to restore everything, if Rorschach was seen by Ward, he would definitely be recognized.

In desperation, Rorschach could only turn around and press Skye against the wall of the corridor with a textbook wall bang! By this time, Ward had already walked down the hallway and saw Rorschach leaning sideways, pressing a girl against the wall.

Seems like a couple? New to moving in?

He hasn't rented this apartment for long, and with people moving in and out every day, it's impossible to recognize everyone.

Out of the agent's instincts, he glanced at the two of them a few more times, but Rorschach turned his face away, and Ward could only see most of the back of his head, and he couldn't recognize him for the time being.

"I'm sorry, Skye, I can't be recognized." Rorschach whispered to Skye.

When she saw Ward coming down the hallway, she understood what Rorschach meant.

He ...... He's coming towards us. Skye said nervously.

"Don't be afraid, calm down and be natural, he doesn't know you." Rorschach reassured.

In order to ensure that he was not discovered, Rorschach and Skye were very close, and the breath of both of them was already entangled. Feeling the breath of Rorschach's proximity, Skye's heart beat a little faster.

It's just that Skye has no experience with this kind of disguise, and the tension in his heart has not eased at all. Rorschach watched her eyes drift in Ward's direction, and once Ward got closer, he would definitely notice that something was wrong.

"Skye, look at me, don't look anywhere else." Rorschach reminded.

Hearing Rorschach's words, Skye's big eyes turned to Rorschach's face.

"It's good, just look at me, don't look anywhere else, relax. Or, think of something fun and happy. Rorschach continued.

At this time, Ward was only six or seven meters away from the two of them, and he could already see the expression on Skye's face clearly.

"Happy thing?" Skye thought back for a moment, and in his life of more than ten years, there seemed to be nothing to be happy about. Came out of the orphanage and was adopted by several families, but they couldn't fit in, and in the end they were all alone.

In search of information about his biological parents, Skye began to learn hacking techniques on his own, and began to live like a mouse in the darkest corners until ......

If there is anything to be happy about, it is probably that he was caught in that mysterious laboratory, and when he was at his most desperate, Rorschach saved himself.

The fireflies in the darkness led them out of the terrifying laboratory, and then transformed into Rorschach. At that time, Skye felt like Rorschach had come down as an angel.

In the end, Rorschach kept his promise and rescued her from that horrible place. It's just that before he could thank him, Rorschach disappeared again.

Perhaps, he just saved himself casually, and he didn't think about anything in return. It's like meeting an injured kitten on the road, and after helping the cat bandage the wound, he doesn't plan to pick it up and keep it home.

Skye suddenly felt like an abandoned kitten, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Hey, I made you think something happy, why are you still crying?" Rorschach said helplessly.

Skye, who was self-pitying and self-harming, accidentally turned red in his eyes, and saw Rorschach depressed for a while, did he look so scary?

But it was a timely cry, and Ward walked closer and saw a teary-eyed Skye, dispelling his doubts. It was a cry so real, and Ward swore with his training that it was absolutely real.

And this girl happens to be the type he likes. Alas, alas, now is not the time to think about this.

Ward shook the ill-fashioned thought out of his mind, opened his door, and walked inside.

Ward was relieved to see the hair falling on his shoes, and no one had ever entered the room.

It wasn't until Ward walked into the room and the door closed that Rorschach breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, the situation was a bit urgent." Rorschach took two steps back and said to Skye.

"It's okay...... Anyway, I owe you a favor. Skye whispered.

"Okay, this is not the place to talk, you shouldn't have eaten yet, I'll invite you." Rorschach said with a smile.

Skye nodded, followed Rorschach and left the apartment.

When the two of them walked out of the apartment, it was already dark, and it was time for the lights to be dim. Rorschach didn't go far, choosing a restaurant nearby that seemed to be quite quiet.

After taking his seat, Rorschach asked, "Skye, you haven't been doing well lately?" ”

In Rorschach's opinion, Skye is going back to his old business, it must be because life is difficult and he is short of money.

Unexpectedly, Skye said to Rorschach...... Rorschach, do you know who that William Smith was? ”

Rorschach's eyes changed, and he asked in a solemn tone, "Do you know something?" ”
