this infinite world

Rorschach, whose real name is Walter Kovaks, is a superhero without any superpowers. He is a criminal fighter who adheres to uncompromising principles and absolute justice.

His most important identity is the protagonist in the movie "Watchmen".

Rorschach is no longer in the photo when the "Watchmen" organization was formed, which means that the concept of the protagonist has disappeared from the story of "Watchmen" a long time ago. It also means that the plot of this world has completely changed and become unrecognizable.

"The Lord God has changed the plot once again..."

Although this was not the first time he had experienced something similar, such as "Harry Potter does not exist in the Harry Potter world", Zheng Zha still could not accept it, because it meant that the greatest weapon of the reincarnations, "familiarity with the plot", had become a piece of waste paper.

"Dangdang!"

The tire seemed to have run over a rock, causing the members of the Zhongzhou team sitting in the car to tremble. This also interrupted Zheng Zha's thoughts, causing him to frown and look forward, asking a question he had wanted to ask since a while ago.

"...I understand the reason, but the question is, why do we have to adopt such a primitive way of moving?"

Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan, who was driving the car in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face: "Although everyone's main god enhancement has been taken away, the most basic physical fitness and gene lock level are still there. If we walk there, it will be much faster than driving, right?"

After leaving the Daily Planet, Chu Xuan did not rush to the target location immediately. Instead, he found a minibus parked on the street, opened the door and started the vehicle... Just looking at his skilled appearance, he was definitely an expert in this field, a habitual offender with decades of experience.

"Because we want to avoid attracting the Pharaoh's attention." Chu Xuan replied.

——Pharaoh, Adrian Veidt, a member of the Watcher team, although he does not have any superpowers, he is at the top of humanity in terms of money, wisdom, and force.

The Pharaoh is also the villain in this story. He is rational and cares only about the result rather than the process. He wove the biggest political lie in history and ended the Cold War at the cost of the lives of millions of ordinary people around the world.

In a sense, this man is an "Adam" in real society, including the heroic name "Ozymandias" he gave himself, which is similar to the name Adam gave himself, and there is a wonderful similarity between the two.

Both stand at the top of human society, overlooking all living beings; both hold the power to decide the fate of others, controlling the life and death of others; both have a deep hatred for the "evil of human nature"... They are even very similar in taking extreme actions - even triggering a nuclear explosion that kills millions of people.

However, their fates were completely different. Pharaoh's plan was successfully implemented, and he was able to achieve his own plan and become the winner with the last laugh. Adam, on the other hand, lost a step in the battle of wits with Chu Xuan, and finally had to flee like a stray dog, and finally entered the main god space...

However, compared to Adam, who was determined to abandon his remaining emotions and transform himself into the "most perfect human being" and who hated the "human" species, the Pharaoh was very different from Adam.

Pharaoh is perhaps the one who can most deeply appreciate the existence of love in the "Watchers" group. He firmly believes that "every day in life is worth celebrating", and the coming of the end of the world will wipe out the "prosperity, splendor and beauty" in human civilization; he believes that "there are no ordinary people at all", and everyone has the possibility of becoming better; he doesn't care whether others praise his behavior.

Even though he has not yet abandoned all of his humanity, he has been tormented by his own conscience since the beginning of the plan... And it was this person who took the lives of millions of people in order to end the Cold War and bring long-term peace and stability to mankind and the world. "We don't need to care about him, right?" Listening to Chu Xuan's explanation, Zheng Zha said doubtfully: "The Pharaoh does not conflict with our goals. We just want to find Dr. Manhattan. It has nothing to do with his plan."

This time, Chu Xuan did not answer, nor did he explain what he did as usual, but drove in silence. After dozens of seconds, he stopped the car on the side of the road and said calmly: "We are here."

"...Okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

Zheng Zha shrugged, got out of the car first, and looked at the building in front of him. Even though the light was poor, he could still clearly see the broken glass on the upper floors. It was the trace left by the "Comedian" falling out of the window before being killed by the Pharaoh... And the fact that there was not even a cordon or any other measures taken was enough to prove how little the American police cared about the death of this former superhero.

"This saves us a lot of effort... Wait, what is that?"

Zheng Zha shook his head and was about to follow Chu Xuan's instructions and walk up the building like an ordinary person instead of jumping up. However, a tiny bright yellow light at the corner of the street inexplicably attracted Zheng Zha's attention, and his eyes involuntarily looked in that direction.

It was a yellow smiley face badge.

A symbol belonging to the "Comedian", but it fell into the dust and no one noticed it. It was even stained with some blood, and the yellow smiley face medal looked particularly ironic.

"…By the way, Rorschach is gone."

Zheng Zha sighed, walked forward and picked up the smiley face badge. "If he wasn't here, then there would be no one to investigate the real cause of the Comedian's death, so it wouldn't be surprising that this thing would fall here—"

The next moment, the scenery on the street changed, and when Zheng Zha stood up again, the situation around him had changed.

"--strange."

Zheng Zha looked around in confusion, and he was not the only one who felt confused. The other members of the Zhongzhou team also showed similar expressions. They were all standing on the rooftop of a building, gazing into the distance, staring at the clock tower in the distance that had just pointed to eleven o'clock.

The members of the Zhongzhou team who had experienced Red Alert 2 were actually not unfamiliar with similar situations.

"Wait, if I'm not mistaken..."

Zheng Zha blinked and retracted his gaze from the distance. He looked at the blood-stained yellow medal in his hand again: "We are..."
