"Have you seen the girl in the photo before? No? Oh, thank you, sorry for bothering you. "
Even though Rorschach didn't obtain any clues about his younger sister from the passerby, he still smiled and thanked the person, but it wasn't purely out of courtesy.
It was just that Rorschach felt that this passerby's reply without any clues was the least annoying answer due to the past few days.
"You said that you've seen this girl before? In front of you? No, no, I don't like cross-dressing … I mean that the girl in the photo isn't me, no, I don't like cross-dressing either! Wait, something's wrong. Damn it, I was tricked by you, I'm a guy! This cross-dressing girl is cute? Thank you, no, that's not me in the photo, that's not my younger sister. "
This … was quite embarrassing. Twins had similar appearances to begin with, and the younger they were, the less obvious the differences between males and females. Their wood spirit bloodline made their baby faces even more obvious.
Although Rorschach tried his best to clarify, his terrible Common language only added to the confusion, causing an even more terrible misunderstanding.
"No, uncle, I didn't take out a photo to make a professional date … I don't want to date auntie either! Sister … I really don't mind the money, I'm still a child, please let me go. "
At this moment, Rorschach decided that from today onwards, he would properly attend language classes.
At the very least, the next time he came out, he would learn to accurately say "I don't want to date, I don't want to date, uncle doesn't want to date, auntie doesn't want to date either."
But this still wasn't the worst part.
"… You've really seen this girl before? You need to tell me in that small alley/room? Also, check my body and pay for the information, haha, uncle police, there's a pervert/bandit here. "
On this day, Rorschach learned that there were no police in this city, but there were even more ferocious Saul city guards.
Before Rorschach could call for help, there was a whistle, and two burly men jumped down from a patrol airship in midair.
"Aha, villain, Broken Shoe Slash."
"Foreigner, how dare you kidnap a child! Eat my Sin-Breaking Strike!"
Looking at the uncles and aunties who were being dragged away again, and the two guards who were becoming more and more familiar, they muttered that it seemed to be their Rorschach the previous two times. They were certain that something was wrong … The expectant look in the eyes of the two law-enforcement officers before they left made them a little scared.
Thinking back to the past, from the time he had started to look for people in the alleys, the navy blue police airship floating above his head had always stayed close to him, neither close nor far, never abandoning him.
These two uncles had already appeared for the third time today, and each time was so timely …
"These guys are actually trying to fish us out? Using me as bait? "Rorschach was suddenly enlightened.
The two knights patiently explained that they had been following Rorschach in secret because they were worried that something would happen to him. They also assured him that there were only a few of these bastards and that the city was safe. They also assured him that Rorschach could look for his sister without worry.
However, their passionate and anxious gazes made Rorschach feel more and more that they were just worried that they wouldn't be able to complete this year's security mission, so they were encouraging him to go to dangerous places and play the role of bait.
But in the next few hours, Rorschach's attitude took a 180-degree turn after he accidentally uncovered a small gang that kidnapped and sold children.
The main reason was that he had learned from the kidnappers that wood spirit hybrids like himself were very popular and rare in the underground market, as well as the astronomical auction prices that had been sold in the past.
"How about I sell myself? That'll be enough for ten lifetimes."
After confirming that the decimal point of the price was correct, Rorschach suddenly felt that the navy blue police airship was much more pleasing to the eye.
In fact, Rorschach even took the initiative to take a police signal flare from them and set up a contact method.
But sometimes, good intentions and bad intentions weren't so obvious.
"You're only telling me because I believe in your religion? Your god can guide everything? Is this strange blood-red sun your holy emblem? Haha, Uncle Matt, there's a heretic here … "
The police signal flare flew into the sky once again, but this time, the two knight uncles who rushed over while howling didn't get another chance to earn a promotion or a raise.
"What? He's a priest of a true god? The God of Gambling? Is your God's way of guiding everything by throwing dice? What? You're only responsible for guiding, not being correct? "
On this day, Rorschach learned that even gambling could become a god in this day and age. He also learned about the propaganda that the priests of a true god made in order to spread their religion. Although they were limited by the rules of their religion and their words were mostly true, the content was intentionally distorted and exaggerated.
As for that blood-red sun holy emblem? Oh, that's just a cylinder. Yep, it's the round cylinder in mahjong. It seems that this God of Gambling is really a professional.
"Going to a small alley to show me a big treasure? Pervert, go die! Ah? You're the Holy Knight who received the report and came to help the lost children? The big treasure is your Holy Light mount that you parked in the alley? "
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, does it still hurt down there? What you said just now was too true to us, so we instinctively kicked you … What? Do you need me to rub it for you? Heh heh, do you need me to give you another kick? "
On this day, Rorschach learned about the difference in culture. He would be more careful next time. Although there were no villains among the Holy Knight job class, there were still plenty of perverts.
The metropolis Saul was publicly recognized as a good place.
As the capital of the Saul Alliance, Saul ranked in the top three in terms of prosperity. It was also the most famous educational, tourist, and religious city in the Saul Alliance.
What all major cities had in common was that there were many people and many opportunities. It was a good place for young people to develop and start their own businesses.
However, this wasn't a good thing for a young man who was trying to find clues about his loved ones in a sea of people.
"It seems that I won't be able to find anything today. This is the second Sunday. My next vacation will be at the harvest celebration in four days."
One week ago. Rorschach had been frustrated by Isabella, so he decided to use his own method to find clues about his younger sister … But everyone knew that in a major city with a population of more than three million, it was basically impossible to find any clues about his younger sister.
Rorschach, who was unfamiliar with this place, didn't have any better ideas for the time being.
Originally, the black letter had mentioned Saul's First Star Knight Academy. Rorschach had thought that this was Lori's former academy, and that there should be some clues here.
But after asking the teachers and students, he discovered that they didn't know Lori at all.
Not only had he assumed this before, even Isabella was a transfer student who had entered the academy half a year ago. If she didn't speak, there would be no clues.
And if he tried to force her to speak … Rorschach would be thrown out of her classroom by an armed maid if he tried to approach her.
The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of dusk shone on the river. Children were playing around on the river bank, while adults were dragging their tired bodies towards dinner.
For Rorschach, today was another fruitless day.
Squatting by the roadside flower bed, he stared blankly at the setting sun in the distance. He was a little tired and helpless.
Although he knew that the possibility of finding clues in a haystack was too low, and that he had wasted a rare holiday, it was impossible for him to do nothing but sit in his bedroom in a daze after receiving that letter.
"Yo, how's your harvest? Oh, you don't have to write anymore, I already know. "
The other member of the "search duo", Headless Horseman Lynn, came a little later than the agreed time.
His black armor was covered with the shadow of death, and the Black Liuhe on his back was faintly stained with blood. Judging from his empty neck, he also didn't find anything today.
Perhaps it was because they had the same hobby of searching (fog), or perhaps it was because young people had many topics to talk about, but as roommates, the two quickly became friends who talked about everything, or rather, pen pals.
Now, Lynn was writing down his day's events on his writing board.
Literally speaking, he was no different from Rorschach. He was just blindly following his instincts. He could feel that his head was in this city, but he couldn't find it.
However, the targets he found were much more cooperative and told him everything they knew.
After all, unlike Rorschach, Lynn didn't need the blue boat to follow him for safety. The Headless Horseman was a high-level undead creature with a fierce reputation.
Rorschach reckoned that from the bloodstains on his magic sword, Lynn had saved himself a lot of time that wasn't suitable for children.
During these two holidays, the two of them traveled together. One was looking for a person, the other was looking for a head. One was a rookie, while the other was a powerhouse … But in the end, there was no difference. It was all in vain.
