Terra Hotline, crime simulator

A female voice came from behind, with a biting coldness. The cold wind passed through my neck. After subconsciously dodging forward, I touched my neck, and warm liquid flowed out from there.

Powerful.

"But you have to explain yourself here tonight."

I could clearly see the silhouette of the visitor in the dark. He was petite, holding two short straight knives in his hands, and a pair of pink eyes.

"Watch your step, Rorschach, now, I am your shadow."

Once again she struck.

Chapter 241 Li

This is a difficult opponent. Her skill has reached the level of a fourth-level knight, and the surrounding environment is very unfavorable to me.

"Hehe, pay attention to your left, Mr. Rorschach~~"

If she thought she could use words to disturb me and make me leave blood like those previous moves, then she was totally wrong. She rushed forward, made a feint move, and then attacked my right side, but I was already Anticipating her move, I easily dodged her and retaliated, but I kicked her against the wall.

"Well...you are quite capable of adapting to the battlefield, ahem..."

She leaned against the wall and let out a whimper, her pain exciting me, so I moved forward again, waving my fist, and she was forced to move out of the way. My fist left a deep dent in the wall, but I didn't Without leaving her a chance to breathe, he kicked her body with a flying kick.

There was a clang, and she had no time to dodge, so she had to use two scimitars to block her chest. Then I kicked her heavily to the ground. Without letting her get up, I jumped over, kicked the weapon in her hand away, and then pressed her down with my knee. Hold her shoulders.

"...Ouch, it hurts. It seems I was careless this time. Alas, I just wanted to try to see if I could kill you with one blow, but now it seems I'm stuck here."

Even in the face of life-threatening danger, she was still so calm and composed. I leaned closer to see her face clearly, and I felt a little curious.

The armor on her chest has the pattern of the Overseer Commission, and there is a barcode on her arm, which seems to be the mark of a slave, a pink-haired Zarak girl.

"..."

My thoughts froze for a second.

"Oh, you are careless, Rorschach~~"

Suddenly, she showed an ambiguous smile, moved her elbows from under my knees, and suddenly burst out with strength, turning over and pressing me under her crotch.

Then she took out a sharp dagger from her waist with her right hand, turned the blade quickly, and put it on my neck the next second.

"The price of being careless is losing your life...but I still want to see what you look like under the mask."

She put her hand to my chin, trying to unmask me with a cruel smile.

"Xenomi, long time no see."

I suddenly shouted out this name that was almost forgotten in my memory. Judging from her performance, I shouted it right.

"....How do you know my real name?!"

She looked at me in disbelief, and I was able to free my hand, take off my mask, and meet her as Aberlan.

"You have grown up, Xenomi."

"Mai...Mai Qi!!"

She recognized me, tears of joy flowed from the corners of her eyes, she called out my name in surprise, then hugged me tightly and put her face on my chest.

"I've been looking for you all these years! You know, I've searched all the bounty hunters, but I just couldn't find you! It turns out you are Rorschach..."

Except for Ma Enna and the others, few people have seen Rorschach's true face. Even if the Business Alliance has real information about me, it only happened two days ago, and the news has not had time to spread so quickly.

"Relax now. This plot is a bit boring and cliche. I thought you were burned to death by human traffickers."

"Just a little while, just a little while, just like before, let me lie in your arms for a while..."

Well, she still didn't let go, but instead increased her intensity and acted coquettishly. I was a little helpless with her.

At this time, all the tasks are probably no longer important to her. There is nothing more touching than the reunion of relatives... right?

Oh, dear ones.

After 10 minutes of silence, she finally stood up and let go, then left a kiss on each of my cheeks.

"Hmm? Why doesn't your face turn red like before? This is a greeting that spans so many years, and it doesn't mean anything else."

I put my face and hat back on and looked at my watch. It was now 01:30 in the morning.

"Mikey..."

"Call me Rorschach."

"Okay, okay, you can say whatever you want, Rorschach, my dear Rorschach, do you want to hear what happened to me these years?"

"If you want to reminisce about the past, you can do so later. Are you a knight of the Supervisory Committee now? I'm going to see Russell now."

I took out a lighter and lit up the road ahead, and Sanomi held my arm.

He looked me up and down:

"You have become so cold now. You were not like this before. Well, I am now Casimir's fourth-level knight, codenamed Li. I come from the Maytree family, and I am currently doing some cleaning work for Grand Master Russell. "

My mood calmed down quickly. Ai Bolan had died long ago, and the throbbing that just stayed on my body was probably just some embers left over from the past.

"Go on."

"Alas, after the traffickers abducted me that day, they sold me to the Mayshu family. Fortunately, the owner of the Mayshu family is a kind guy, and he trained me as his retainer."

"Just two hours ago, I received a mission. A suspicious man sneaked into this city. Then the knight who went to investigate found out that it was you Rorschach, so Russell sent me here to clean you out."

"...Really? It seems that you just changed from an orphan to a killing tool."

"...!"

After hearing what I said, she stood there as if struck by lightning, her mouth widened, and it took a long time before she said sadly:

"You have changed, Mikey Abberline. What have you experienced in these years? If it is because of what happened just now, I apologize to you. I am sorry that I hurt you. I will bandage it for you... .”

I pushed her hand away cruelly and decisively, and said calmly:

"Mikey is dead, what? Are you going to cry again? You are a knight, no different from those guys. I am standing on the opposite side of you now. The terrorist Rorschach is your enemy. You will because of the past Betray everything so far because of your emotions?”

"No! Mikey is not my enemy!"

"Oh? Mikey isn't, but Rorschach is."

She covered her ears and growled at me a little willfully, tears running down her face unsatisfactorily.

Senomi is fine now, still alive, and has a decent identity. This is enough. She should not cling to the past. Mikey will destroy everything for her.

It’s a harsh truth, but it’s better for both parties.

"Now, Li, I am your prisoner, take me to see Russell."

Chapter 242 Doomsday Evening Bell

It's about five o'clock in the morning in the middle of winter, and the sun hasn't come out yet. However, I may not see the sun today.

After getting out of the sewer, the road was smooth and we were silent. The snow had stopped. When we came to the door of the Zvonek Hotel, Senomi spoke first:

"There is a warm fire in the hall on the first floor. We can cuddle up by the fire and talk as we did in the past. Mikey, Russell is an elder who understands young people quite well."

I opened my mouth and said:

"I was the first person she wanted."

Xeno Mi smiled a little awkwardly, and then asked:

"...Then what will you do when you meet Russell? Mikey, you must not do anything stupid."

"Talk."

Entering the revolving glass door, we came to the hotel lobby. It was very empty. What caught our eyes was the glorious and huge conquest knight seal on the wall. We didn't see a single civilian or a knight here.

"Li, I didn't expect you to bring him here alive."

But then the heavy sound of the knight's iron boots stepping on the marble came from far and near. A man wearing the armor of the knight commander walked down the stairs, followed by more than a dozen fighting knights.

"Long time no see, Rorschach."

"Long time no see, Chesper."

The black-haired Kuranta in front of me is another friend of mine from back then, the Wandering Cloud Knight Chesper. I am not surprised at all when he appears here.

"I need to see Russell, where is she?"

"What's the use of seeing her? You can't stop the war that's about to break out."

Chesper said with some trepidation.

"Call her out."

I repeated it again.

"The Grand Knight Commander is communicating with the noble representatives of Leitania. You can wait, but I'm not sure when."

"What did you mean by war?"

"It's no secret that Casimir is about to attack Ursus."

"But Tolan saw that the knights and craftsmen were all gathering westward."

"Who said the Knights of War were the first to go to the battlefield? It was the infected army of the Federation of Commerce. They wanted to 'announce' their new products to the infected in the Ursus mine."

"Impossible. Those cowards from the Federation of Commerce don't have the courage. How could a group of ragtag tyrants attack a powerful military country?!"

“But it’s different with Letania’s help, you know?

For profit-seeking businessmen, war is not made of artillery smoke, but the market and consumers. Since the United Chamber of Commerce wants to extend its ambitions to Ursus, then we will help them. After all, the Business Federation The radical faction of the society also longed for war and hoped to use the hands of Ursus to destroy all the knights. "

I can't understand what Chesper is trying to express. He is probably another lunatic.

"I'm not a pacifist. If it's a war between knights and shield guards, I won't care, but..."

The figures of the Red Pine Knights appeared in my mind again, those infected, the Flame Tail Knights looked at me expectantly, they thought I

Can save them.

I asked:

"Did Serena's death turn you into that? Unfortunately, she was already dead when I went to the Grand Knight Territory."

"There is no need to apologize, Rorschach. This is all in the past. Now, the person who harmed her will pay the price."

“Is the cost the lives of thousands of innocent infected people?”

"For Casimir's better future, we have to make some sacrifices. Besides, not many will die. There are many parties in Ursus. We have placed our bets on the main militant faction."

Chivalry is still the same chivalry, Chesper is still the same Chesper, we have not changed.

Next, words no longer mattered, I had to stop their actions.

The next second I pounced on him, and several knights rushed towards me one after another, grabbed one of the knights by the shoulder, and knocked down the other knight.

"Mikey!"

Xeno Mi shouted from behind, she didn't know if she should take action, if she helps me, she would be treason, she was struggling in her heart.

When I was about to grab Chesper, a huge force grabbed the collar behind my neck and threw me to the ground. I felt like several of my ribs were broken.

However, it wasn't over yet. I was kicked hard in the abdomen, and I was kicked to the side of a stone pillar.

New injuries and old injuries occurred at the same time, and blood stained my mask, but this time it was from the inside out.

"Cough cough..."

Xeno Mi hurriedly came over and helped me up. She was silent and didn't know what to say for a moment. I saw her eyes turn red.

"Li, his physical condition is not as weak as you think, and his fighting ability is only a little worse than that of Ma Enna from the Linguang family."

A slightly aged voice came from the stairs. Those who attacked me were a few Silver Spear Pegasus. Judging from their skills, they belonged to the most elite group.

"Ioletta Russell, it's not easy to meet you. I have to break a few bones."

Grand Knight Commander Russell, wearing a long black dress and a ceremonial sword on her waist, slowly came down the stairs. She was accompanied by a submissive Leitanian noble.

She looked down at me and shook her head:

"Be mature, Rorschach. This land does not need heroism. Your little boy's heroism is a bit redundant. Have you achieved anything?"

"It's better than your inaction."

"No action? We are just waiting for the opportunity, not waiting for death. The Supervisory Commission has sent a Casimir representative to negotiate with the big companies in Colombia. We have decided to give up part of the domestic market."

I asked:

"Give your country's interests to other countries...why?"
