Life was actually quite boring.
Especially when it came to ending someone else's life, there was no joy to speak of.
Every time Rorschach killed someone, that was what he thought.
With a pure smile, the young man walked out of Room 403, but behind him was a blazing fire.
There was nothing faster than a simple question.
"Did you betray me?"
When the other party gave a definite answer, the child-faced young man would give them another choice.
"Ask your conscience, your guilt. Do you think you deserve to die?"
At this moment, the other party had many choices, but usually, they would try to justify themselves.
"I don't want to do this, I have a lot of reasons too. Someone threatened me, the management wasn't strict enough, that's why we are like this, we only took it because others took it."
But no one could lie to themselves, no one could lie with their soul …
"I broke my oath, I deserve to die."
"No, I'm not at that level."
The soul gave the interrogator an instant answer. Most people answered the latter, and the minority who answered the former … Rorschach would fulfill their wishes on the spot.
When the interrogator realized something was wrong, it was probably too late.
The victim's divine power network was cut off, and their external contact was close to zero. All the waves that had just started were returned to silence.
The young man would not forget to ask before completing the mission, "Are you related to Rorschach's assassination? Did you leak Rorschach's location and information? "
When Rorschach cleared the names of the higher-ups on the list, he still did not get a definite answer.
But soon, he got the answer from the low-level personnel who were involved.
A driver saw Rorschach's car enter the building and sold out his location to the bounty hunter. He was not the only one who did so.
A guard on night patrol saw that the light in Rorschach's room was still on, and a cook asked Rorschach if he wanted supper … A simple half-month salary made them betray their employer without hesitation.
Perhaps, this was no longer their problem. It just so happened that they had encountered an "opportunity".
Maybe, to them, this was just a side effect of their daily work.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, there was no such thing as loyalty.
After the initial shock, Rorschach was now quite open-minded. Since there was no reward for loyalty in the past, it was natural for him to betray the present without any cost.
There were no mature laws and rules to begin with. Everyone was playing by the rules of the jungle. Rorschach couldn't say anything.
However, since there were no restrictions, Rorschach naturally followed the most primitive rules.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkey, kill one to warn the hundred, the cost was low and the effect was quick.
It was just that many people needed to reflect on whether they had developed too quickly and neglected many things.
In the near future, not only the Game Church, but all the factions in the entire city would have to undergo a major rectification and purge.
Now that things had developed to this point, the assassination of Rorschach was no longer important. Rectification and internal policy adjustment had become the most important task at hand.
Power and wealth would change people. Some people had already become what they hated the most in the past.
Rorschach didn't need to care about the reform. There were professionals to do it. Now that he was free, Rorschach conveniently cut off many rotten branches and leaves.
From the place where the news was leaked, Rorschach followed the clues and searched everywhere. In the end, the clues were often cut off at a phone booth that no one cared about, an intelligence dealer whose real name was unknown, and a mercenary who only had a code name.
As he fished for small fish and prawns, the fishing line was completely cut off.
Lori used her divine power to divine, but she couldn't get any results. This could only mean that there was definitely a big boss behind the other party.
During the investigation, Rorschach, who had no identity, also obtained many unexpected gains.
"The Gray Chamber of Commerce and the Heaven's Eye Mercenary Group?"
These two names weren't new information from the traitor, but completely unexpected gains.
The former was the biggest smuggler in the city. Every day, a huge amount of smuggled goods entered and left through them. They had the right to exempt all goods in the city from inspection.
If high-energy Magic Cores, which were obviously prohibited goods, could enter the city without anyone noticing, they were the most likely to do so.
"Tsk, they can smuggle anything? How arrogant. Do they have a backer? "
[Yes, the strongest church in this city … The Game Church. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?]
“.....”
Rorschach didn't know how to react. He just smiled.
"… Who's in charge?"
[Cohen Fagus. You only came out of his house six hours ago.]
"Tsk, he didn't say anything."
[You didn't give him a chance to speak. You didn't ask.]
Alright, at this moment, Rorschach even suspected that he had killed someone to silence them.
[I've already sent people to investigate. However, don't expect to find anything.]
Rorschach knew what was going on, so he didn't have high hopes.
As for the Heaven's Eye Mercenary Group, it was even more subtle.
They were a mercenary group in the city. More than seventy percent of the members were natives of Cape Town. They had some connections with the low-level people involved in this incident. It was probably the extent of economic transactions. The relationship wasn't deep and there was no evidence.
Rorschach saw them as the key because of the "Heaven's Eye", the "Eye" business card that was left in someone's house.
"Maybe I'm oversensitive. Now when I think of 'Eye' or something, I always think of that …"
[Same for me. It's hard not to be suspicious of a name like that.]
"If it's really involved, there's no need to change the name. Isn't this actively exposing it?"
[You still expect the Evil God's followers to have brains? Don't you think this feels similar to the past?]
Rorschach nodded. This was indeed a familiar feeling.
Then, the next step was simple. He just had to take out the Heaven's Eye and put it under the sun one by one.
