At first, Rorschach thought that his decision to personally investigate his own murder case was a brilliant move.
After all, many people knew that his "physical body" was sent to the emergency room. Various medical expenses and visitors were endless. "Rorschach is seriously injured and unconscious" was a fact that didn't need to be hidden.
Since the hybrid wood spirits and Gold Elves had completely different physical appearances, the feeling they gave off was completely different. An adult and a child who looked the same on the outside.
Rorschach was confident that even Ansorenne's acquaintances wouldn't be able to recognize him.
At this moment, the public figure, "Game Church's Rorschach", was lying down. However, this also meant that the current him had obtained complete freedom of action …
"At the very least, before the news of me changing my physical body is leaked, I will be invisible in the eyes of the other churches and the people in the city. In fact, even the internal members of the church … Let's not think about this anymore. Let's continue investigating."
Of course, Rorschach wouldn't testify for that perverted information broker. Otherwise, the city guards would have to register him. Wouldn't he be instantly exposed to the eyes of some people with ulterior motives?
Since the other party had the information on him, as a high-level spellcaster and ranger, Rorschach had many ways to secretly get the information bag into his hands. At the very most, he would compensate the other party for the information and mental damage.
"Tsk, since the information broker only wants to earn money, I'll double it as compensation. I'll take care of your business in the future … If you still have the courage to continue your business."
Rorschach was quite open-minded back then. He pretended to cry to get rid of the trouble, took the information bag, and waved goodbye to the information broker.
However, when he opened the information bag and saw the expected result, his expression turned ugly.
"Lori …"
[I know. I'll pass it to Nana.]
"No, give it to the mercenaries. It's been hard on her as well. It's better to have less of her companions' blood on her hands."
[… She's not as weak as you think. She has encountered many such situations before …]
"No, this is just the friendliness of an old friend. There's no need for any scars. The fewer the better."
[Mercenaries aren't reliable. There are a few on the list that exceed their limits. Those that are Grade 7 and above …]
"Leave those few to me. There's no chance for anyone to recognize me now. Don't waste it. "
The smiling Rorschach and his simple words decided the fate of several Game Church higher-ups and internal members … and death.
The Game Church has an internal intelligence organization. Rorschach, however, to collect information from outsiders. The more he investigated this assassination, the more, the more problems he found..
Rorschach, to work to Rorschach's job, which office to say, his's's's, and's to's's....
Rorschach also realized that his resistance to divination magic was quite high. It was so high that he was almost immune to divination magic.
That night's ambush had obviously been prepared in advance. Activating the magic cores wouldn't be something that could be done in just ten minutes. Everything needed to be hidden, activated, and determined Roxia's location.
Although there were ten thousand explanations that could be a coincidence, or that the enemy's spy was powerful, if someone in the Church leaked the information, then everything would be simple.
After all, to treat the business and the Church as a family, one would not guard against their family. Rorschach would never hide his location.
That night, he answered four calls. Considering his daily routine, this was quite normal … but it was also equivalent to giving away his location.
Then, he exploded.
"… For money? For resources? Or is it because they just don't like me? "
Rorschach asked the intelligence dealer to investigate some people's financial transactions, phone calls, and contact records.
Those who suddenly became rich, those who suddenly spent like crazy, and those who suddenly died (were silenced) could all be suspicious.
Rorschach did not keep an eye on the higher-ups who might have direct contact with him. Instead, he kept an eye on the guards, drivers, and the like, especially those who were supposed to be in the building but were not.
After finding one, all that was left was to dig out the others.
The results of this investigation shocked Rorschach and Lori.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people …"
[As a person in power, we have been too lenient. We need to reflect …]
The spy that night was not found. More accurately, there was no way to confirm it. But after this investigation, there were many suspicious people.
Or to put it another way, there were too many suspicious people. Rorschach could not confirm who betrayed his location and tried to kill him.
Abusing power for personal gain, asking for bribes, colluding with other Churches, planning to leave … If the only evidence was that there was a large amount of unknown income in the account, then there would be a big purge this time.
The evidence was rough. Many people were obviously living a job that they could not afford. They did not even try to hide their tyrannical behavior.
Perhaps it was because of the locals' habits and warlords' style, or perhaps it was because the locals didn't even think about hiding their identities. After all, the Church of Game had never once cleaned up or suspected anything … At this moment, Roxia and Loli both deeply reflected on their actions.
"Treating others as family and giving them too much trust is our mistake. Our arrogance, our naivety …"
[Just because you trust others and treat them well, you think they will treat you well? We were too arrogant.]
Perhaps it was because things had been too smooth in the past (?). Perhaps it was because there had never been any major betrayals. Rorschach and Lori did not pay attention to this.
Even though Su Nanna, as the head of intelligence, had reminded the two friends and superiors many times, they still did not care … No, perhaps they did care. They just had the attitude of "Everyone has been through a lot. Now that things are better, it's normal to enjoy some happiness. If it's nothing major, then forget it." They did not take it seriously.
Putting down the folder, Rorschach sat by the chair. He felt a headache.
Originally, he was only investigating the assassination. Now, there were too many suspicious people. There were too many clues to follow.
The problem now was that the assassination wasn't the most important thing.
There were a few people whose positions were too important.
"Since no one knows me, then I'll use this face to clean up some trash."
