Action Suspended

Besides the parameters that could already be quantified, the corresponding abilities on Rorschach's panel that had not been quantified had also been enhanced.

For example, the x-ray vision and super hearing listed under his abilities.

Previously, his x-ray vision could only see through an area within ten meters, nothing more. But now, he could easily see through everything within fifty meters.

As for his hearing.

As long as Rorschach wanted to, he could hear Charles and the others talking in the office as clearly as if he were right there with them.

"We have to bury this matter and act as though nothing ever happened!"

"Whatever mutant squad William Stryker is leading and whatever they are doing has nothing to do with us. We never knew about this!"

"What about Bradley?"

"Erase the relevant memories, then send him away. Treat it as if he never came here!"

"What if Stryker keeps sending people after him?"

"If Stryker really does that, then he must have his reasons, Charles. We shouldn't meddle in other people's business."

"At most, we can send Bradley somewhere safe and let him live a good life. We can't do any more than that!"

Charles, Erik, and Moira held an exceptionally heated discussion in the office.

After wasting who knew how much breath, the three finally reached an agreement:

They would erase Bradley's memories from the time he met Erik and the others until he was brought here, then secretly send him somewhere safe.

Not only that, since the matter also involved a high-ranking CIA official, the three decided to put an end to it here and make it a secret shared only among them.

No reporting it, no spreading it.

At least, that was the plan until they learned whether Jason Stryker was involved.

The only thing they could do now was use every resource available to them to secretly erase the relevant traces before Stryker caught on.

They could not let Stryker trace it back to them.

Ohio.

Amusement Park.

The once bustling Amusement Park had now been completely sealed off. Barricade tape had been set up at every entrance and exit, with officers stationed there as well.

Rumble!

The sound of rotors filled the air as an armed helicopter slowly descended and landed in an open area of the Amusement Park.

A young man wearing sunglasses stepped down from the helicopter.

It was none other than William Stryker.

A young man carrying two longswords, who had been waiting at the scene for some time, approached him. "Sir, did your plane run out of fuel halfway here? So you had to stop and refuel? You're half an hour late. Even if you're the boss..."

"Shut up, Wade! I swear, if I get the chance, I'll sew that mouth of yours shut!" Stryker interrupted Wade helplessly before getting down to business. "The scene hasn't been disturbed, has it?"

"No. This is just an insignificant little town. They wouldn't dare neglect an order from the military. The sheriff sent nearly half his men over."

"Did you find anything?"

"Last night, two outsiders came to the Amusement Park looking for Bradley. Witnesses saw them fighting, but it was already dark, so they didn't get a clear look at them.

God, sir, you really should see Victor's body. His head was sliced right off. Poor Vic..."

Wade instinctively started rambling again, only reluctantly shutting up when Stryker shot him a look.

As one of Stryker's mutant special agents, Wade was extremely powerful. With his two swords, he could take down an entire unit by himself.

More importantly, he was obedient.

Unlike Victor, he was not difficult to control.

There was just one problem: he talked too much, and he did it regardless of the occasion.

"Anything else?"

"Those two outsiders asked several people about Bradley's whereabouts. They came specifically for Bradley."

Stryker could not help frowning. Bradley was so weak, so why would anyone target him?

He suddenly had the feeling that this matter was far from simple.

"Sir, leave this investigation to me. I know you want to find the one who killed Victor. To be honest, I also want to see whether his blade is faster or my swords are..."

"No, Wade. Victor is dead, so you'll take over his work. I'll leave this matter to someone else." Stryker cut Wade off directly. "Get the serum we need."

"Ghost is no problem, but what about Logan? I remember you had other arrangements for him."

"You don't need to worry about Logan either. Besides Ghost, there's another person. I believe you'll like his ability very much."

Stryker casually handed over a file.

Wade glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Wow, that's so cool. This guy can shoot lasers out of his eyes! I like it!"

"Enough. Go do what you need to do. I'll go talk to those witnesses."

CIA base.

A shaded path.

Rorschach and Charles strolled along leisurely. At least, that was how they appeared to outsiders.

"Rorschach, I've erased Bradley's relevant memories. Moira will arrange for someone to secretly send him away tonight."

"This matter is extremely serious. Those of us who know about it cannot leak a single word or mention it to anyone. Do you have any questions?"

Even when discussing something so serious, Charles spoke in a conversational tone.

"I understand, Charles." Rorschach nodded without changing his expression.

"Good!"

Charles was quite pleased with how sensible Rorschach was. He then brought up another matter. "Also, put the mutant recruitment on hold for now."

"Someone at that Amusement Park saw you and Erik. Stryker may find something, but you don't need to worry. We've erased as many other traces as possible."

"As long as you stay here and behave yourselves, there won't be any trouble."

"All right, Rorschach, I have to go. Moira is waiting for me. In short, relax. Everything will be fine!"

The two stopped at the intersection. Charles waved to Rorschach, then joined Moira and Erik, who were waiting there.

Rorschach waved at them from afar in greeting, then watched them leave.

"Hide from Stryker? I'm not actually afraid of him!"

Rorschach shrugged.

Hiding out in the CIA did not fit Rorschach's plans, because he wanted to try going out and seeing whether he could trigger missions like he had at the Amusement Park.

But after a brief hesitation, Rorschach abandoned the idea. If he did that, it would cause Charles and the others quite a bit of trouble.

Rorschach was not the kind of person who stirred up trouble for others.

Besides, Rorschach's physical attributes had just been greatly enhanced, so this was the perfect time to get used to them.

And if he remembered correctly, something major was likely to happen at this base.

Rather than going out to seek opportunities, he might as well wait for opportunities to come to him.
