late at night,
Rorschach didn't know where he was being taken... After sending Rachel away yesterday, he was taken to another place today.
It looks like a cell in a basement, and even the way out of the Alchemist Headquarters is through a secret underground passage!
Rorschach's instinct told him that detaining a prisoner in this way was not a good sign.
"Let me go, let me go! I'm the state alchemist of Lewis City and a disciple of Master Kedao. You've got the wrong person. Let me see Master Kedao... let me see Marshal Hogheim."
"What are you arguing about?"
A soldier in charge of escorting him kicked Rorschach on the butt.
"It was the people from the Alchemist Headquarters who asked us to take you away. Just go with peace of mind and don't disturb the citizens' sleep so late at night!" said the soldier disdainfully.
"Alchemist Headquarters? Impossible. I was only convicted of dereliction of duty. There's no reason to be relocated... You're abusing your authority."
It was late at night and the soldiers had been getting impatient listening to Charlotte nagging all the way. If someone from above hadn't asked them to keep quiet as much as possible, they would have really wanted to give this stupid boy a smack on the head.
"You can say whatever you like, just go!"
"I'm not leaving."
Rorschach was not without room for resistance, because the gloves with the alchemy array carved on them were taken away from the alchemist headquarters. He had thought that he would just be interrogated, but after moving himself to several places in the past two days, he began to feel that something was wrong.
"You're not leaving?" The soldiers around him smiled at each other and kicked him in the back...
Rorschach fell to the ground, his hands trapped and he couldn't even stand up.
A cool feeling came across my face.
He looked at the distance in surprise. What place was this? Why was the ground so cold?
At this time, a soldier picked him up again...
"You'd better behave yourself. We've heard your story. A few years ago, you shone brightly at the Imperial Capital Academy and were chosen by Ke Daoer as an alchemist. Humph! Blame it on you for showing off when you don't have much ability. Do you think you can change the world just by showing off? It would be so much better to be an ordinary alchemist, but you had to get involved in the struggle between several major groups."
Several soldiers took Rorschach to a special cell, speaking words he couldn't understand...
It's more like a concentration camp than a prison cell. In the darkness, one can hear the painful groans of many people. There seem to be many similar cells in the depths.
"Come in." He pushed Rorschach into the room.
"What on earth is this place? Let me out, let me out..."
No one paid any attention to Rorschach's shouting and just closed the door and left.
The only light just now quickly disappeared, replaced by even darker darkness and a damp and cold environment.
"Hello!"
He roared in dissatisfaction towards the darkness, but it seemed as if the person had really left.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Captain Rorschach."
"who?"
Rorschach looked back warily and seemed to see a dark figure sitting in the corner of the damp dungeon, but he did not recognize his voice.
"Who are you?"
Since they were all prisoners, Rorschach was not too wary, but more curious. In fact, there was someone who knew him in such a place!
"By the way, you don't seem to know me yet, but we do remember you. Your amazing alchemy ability left a deep impression on us all." A voice came from the darkness.
"Have we met before?"
"Black duckbill!"
The other party said a name that sounded very strange. Rorschach thought about it for a long time in his heart but couldn't understand what it meant. Duckbill...criminal...he suddenly remembered the group of attackers he encountered in the swamp town.
"Who are you……"
"It seems you've remembered. How unexpected that we meet in a place like this." The voice in the darkness sounded more like a mockery, but Rorschach felt even more confused at this moment.
"So it's you, you were caught? So Occam is not dead?"
It seemed as if he remembered why he was caught here.
Ockham's accomplice was caught. It was estimated that the other party said that Ockham was not dead, so his lie was exposed... Now he was charged with dereliction of duty and lying.
“Hahahahahaha…”
Suddenly the dark shadow laughed.
Laughing crazily, laughing unbelievably...
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at the fact that you are still thinking about working for those countries at this time." His voice was full of sadness and even a bit of self-mockery.
"What do you mean."
"I laugh at you, you're so stupid, yet you're still asking... Do you know who we are? We're the Night Walkers among the investigators. Our original purpose in rescuing Occam was simply to prevent his Necronomicon research from falling into the hands of any marshals."
"What!"
Rorschach stared.
Night walker.
I have heard of this name before. He is an investigator from a secret national organization, and it is directly under the command of the omniscient Grand Alchemist Meredith.
"It seems we've all been deceived... No one was saved at all. Ever since I joined the Night Walkers, I've been told to fight to ensure the balance of this country. We rescued Occam to prevent the information he had from being leaked, but..."
Rorschach frowned, realizing that the whole thing didn't seem to be what he thought.
"What's going on? Tell me!"
"It was the wizard in your team who helped us rescue Occam, and it was that bastard Meredith who captured us."
