Chapter 008: The Man Who Didn't Exist!
The purple-robed old man ogre ignored Rorschach's excuse and continued to talk to himself.
"Let me think about how I should repay you?...... Although I have a lot of ingredients on me, it's not at all what you can bear. The purple-robed old man shook his head as he pondered.
What do you mean by ingredients you can't afford to eat?
When Rorschach heard the words of the purple-robed old man's ogre, he couldn't help but show a strange expression.
It can't be a madman, right?
"But if you can't even handle the ingredients, you won't be able to use the rest, it's not easy, I'm an ogre, I never eat overlord meals. "The purple-robed old man looked very distressed.
Hearing this, Rorschach had already preliminarily judged the purple-robed old man to be a madman.
Although this madman has an extraordinary insight into food owners, it may only be because he happened to be a chef before he went crazy, especially the name of the old man in the purple robe, the ogre? This is also called a name? On the contrary, if the old man in the purple robe is a madman, then it is normal, it must be his own random name.
Just as Rorschach was about to speak, the purple-robed old man ogre suddenly woke up from his contemplation.
"There it is!" the purple-robed old man looked at Rorschach and laughed, "Hahaha, lucky for you, old man, I just got the permission of this 'guide' not long ago, and I can only appoint one person every thousand years...... But as you said, it's fate to be able to meet in this remote 'barren place' and eat such a novel food...... Cheap for you!"
As soon as the words fell, the purple-robed old man who was originally sitting cross-legged two or three meters away from Rorschach suddenly appeared in front of Rorschach's eyes, and pointed between Rorschach's eyebrows!
Suddenly, Rorschach's eyes were shrouded in dazzling white light, and he couldn't see anything at all.
"Oops!"
Rorschach's heart sank, and he only felt that something was wrong!
Originally, it was strange enough to suddenly meet an old man in purple robe who he had defaulted to as a madman, but he didn't expect this old man in purple robe to suddenly attack him, and the speed was so fast that he didn't have time to resist at all!
However, Rorschach is not a vegetarian either, after all, he has a power that even Heimqis dare not underestimate.
Blindness alone wasn't enough to make him want to give up resisting.
However, to Rorschach's shock, he couldn't move!
You can't even move a finger!
"It's over...... Rorschach's heart is like ashes, "live again, I didn't expect to die here so inexplicably." ”
He knew that he was probably planted this time.
"Okay, old man, I'll leave first if I have something, if I have the chance, come to the 'Sea of Slaughter', old man, I'll treat you to something delicious, hahahaha, let's go-" The purple-robed old man's laughing voice gradually faded away.
......
"Young master, young master, what's wrong with you?"
Heimquis's shouting rang in his ears.
Maybe it's a second, or maybe it's an hour.
The endless white light in front of Rorschach's eyes finally disappeared, and the original surrounding scene finally appeared in his sight.
Whoa!
Rorschach jerked to his feet, causing the plate that had been resting on his lap to fall to the ground and shatter to pieces.
He glanced around with a vigilant look on his face, but he didn't find the figure of the purple-robed old man's ogre, so he looked at Heimquis and asked, "Where did the ogre go, did you see it?"
"Ogre, what are you talking about, young master?" asked Heimquis, confused.
"It's that crazy purple-robed old man just now, I can't see anything after I was hit by him, don't you see where he went?" Rorschach said quickly.
Hearing Rorschach's question, Heimkis was stunned.
Not only Heimquis, but even the black-haired girl Anna looked at Rorschach with a strange look, and asked with some concern, "Little brother, are you okay?
"How could it be, he just ate the 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' with us here, and after eating, he said that he wanted to repay me, but he suddenly attacked me, it's inexplicable!" Rorschach said, the more annoyed he became.
Speaking of which, Rorschach suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Because he found that Heimkis and his eldest sister Anna looked at him with a little worry and weirdness.
"What are you looking at me like that?" Rorschach asked.
"Little brother, haven't you had a good rest lately?" Anna looked at Rorschach worriedly.
"Does this have anything to do with me resting well?" Rorschach couldn't keep up with Anna's train of thought.
"Because there's no purple-robed old man at all, young master. Heimkis also said in a worried tone, "You just started sitting there in a daze after you had eaten two bites, and you didn't move until I called you, and you woke up like a sudden starter." ”
"What did you say?!"
Rorschach looked at Heimkis in shock, and seeing that he didn't mean to laugh, he looked at Anna again, and found that Anna looked basically the same as Heimqueth, with an expression of "Are You Okay?"
"Shhhh
With a gasp, Rorschach only felt a chill all over his body.
With the strength of a knight or above, it is almost impossible for him to be in a trance, and he is sure that he didn't hallucinate just now!
Besides, he could clearly remember the appearance of the purple-robed old man's ogre, and every conversation between the two, how could this be an illusion? But it was impossible for Heimkis and Anna to make such an unnutritious joke with him, and judging from the expressions of the two, what they said should also be the truth that they had determined to be, and it was by no means casual nonsense.
But this is undoubtedly very contradictory, because between his own arguments with Heimkis and Anna, one must be wrong, and Rorschach is very convinced that he is not hallucinating.
"Unless......" Rorschach suddenly thought of a possibility.
And it is not difficult to verify this speculation.
Passing over the two Heimquis, Rorschach began to question the guards who had just finished eating and were about to start guarding.
After asking a few people, the answer they got was the same as that given by Hymuqis and the others, and they didn't see any purple-robed old man at all from beginning to end.
Receiving this kind of answer, Rorschach didn't say anything, and walked to the side where he had just eaten without saying a word.
Open the wooden box with the cutlery and start counting the cutlery inside.
"And so it was!"
When he realized that there were only two sets of cutlery left in the wooden box, Rorschach muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
As a chef, he remembers the kitchenware and cutlery he carries with him very well.
In that wooden box, there should have been six sets of cutlery, but at this time, except for the cutlery used by him, Heimkis and Anna, there were only two sets of cutlery in the wooden box, and the other set was gone?
A different person might think he remembered it wrong, but Rorschach was convinced that he was right.
"The set of utensils that disappeared should be the one used by the purple-robed old man who served the devil just now...... So I'm not mistaken, and Heimkis probably didn't lie to me...... In other words, that purple-robed old man ogre probably has the ability to make Heimkis unable to remember him!" Rorschach thought in horror.
