Good News

Howard Stark had seen Rorschach enter with a middle-aged man.

Therefore, Howard Stark knew exactly what kind of person Rorschach's friend was and where he was.

So Howard Stark didn't ask any more questions and immediately agreed, "Of course, no problem!"

Agent Carter watched it all from the side, not intervening.

However, she subtly signaled to a few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around her.

As soon as Rorschach entered the back room of the bar, those agents pushed open the door and went to stake out the back door of the bar.

To prevent Rorschach from sneaking away.

Of course.

Rorschach was completely unaware of Agent Carter's subtle actions; he wasn't an agent and lacked their keen observational skills.

Even if he had known, Rorschach wouldn't have cared.

It was just that he didn't plan on leaving. Otherwise, what good would it be for Agent Carter to send more people to watch him?

As Agent Carter's people began to move, Rorschach walked into a passage.

The passage was very narrow, with another small door at the end, very well hidden.

This made Rorschach quite speechless.

Caliban's elaborate setup made it seem like he was some super wanted criminal. Did he need to be so cautious?

This was not just a little sensitive.

Creak!

He pushed open the door, and something cold was immediately pressed against his head.

It was the big man who had gone out to call Raven in earlier.

He held the weapon against Rorschach's head and said in a low voice, "Stay put. If you try any tricks, I'll put a hole in your head!"

Rorschach chuckled softly and said nothing. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun pressed against his forehead.

He exerted force.

Crunch!

The sound of metal being squeezed and deformed rang out. Then Rorschach released his hand, only to see that the barrel had been flattened, with several finger imprints indented on it.

Hiss!

The big man gasped in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

Rorschach ignored the man and walked forward swaggeringly into a large hall ahead.

"Rorschach!"

Raven's voice rang out.

Raven was sitting inside, but a long sword was held against her neck.

And the long sword was held by a woman with long hair and a sharp aura.

Psylocke.

There was a seat next to Psylocke, where Caliban sat with a stern expression.

"What's going on?"

Rorschach felt a bit confused.

He had just come to ask Caliban for a favor, a paid one at that. How had it escalated to such a tense standoff?

"Caliban also wants to ask you the same question."

Caliban stood up, pulled open a drawer, took out a gun, and pointed it at Rorschach. "What exactly is going on?"

"Caliban, you've misunderstood. We don't know what's going on either, I swear!"

Raven, with the sharp blade against her neck, dared not move and shouted nervously at Caliban.

"Then why did a shootout happen here as soon as you arrived? You're not going to tell Caliban this is just a coincidence, are you?"

Caliban didn't believe Raven at all.

"Caliban, let Raven go! If we really wanted to do something to you, why are you still fine now?"

Rorschach felt a little frustrated.

This was indeed just a coincidence.

"So, why didn't you just tell Caliban your purpose? Why did you bring those agents here?"

Caliban continued to point the gun at Rorschach and questioned him.

Rorschach: "..."

Fine, the situation was beyond explanation.

Since that was the case, he wouldn't explain at all.

Rorschach focused his gaze on the firearm in Caliban's hand. With a thought, two beams of heat vision shot out.

Hiss!

The firearm in Caliban's hand was instantly destroyed by the heat vision.

Psylocke's expression changed drastically. While she kept Mystique held with one hand by her longsword, she conjured a purple blade with her other hand and fiercely slashed at Rorschach.

Swish!

But the next moment, Psylocke's vision blurred. Rorschach, who had been there, vanished and reappeared elsewhere.

Hiss!

Two more beams of heat vision shot out, and the longsword in Psylocke's hand flew out of her grasp.

Psylocke was startled.

How could she not realize that this young Eastern man before her was incredibly powerful, someone she couldn't handle by dividing her attention?

She immediately abandoned Raven, who was no longer a combat threat. The purple blade in her hand transformed into a purple energy whip, which lashed out at Rorschach with a crack.

But Rorschach, like a nimble cat, dodged Psylocke's deadly whip with ease, darting away again.

Crack!

Psylocke's whip struck the ground, leaving a mark.

She then flicked her shoulder, spun around, and lashed out again.

Crack, crack, crack!

Three consecutive lashes, all missing their mark, as Rorschach successfully closed the distance to her.

"Not good!"

Psylocke's heart pounded.

The young man before her was as slippery as an eel; her fierce, storm-like attacks couldn't stop him.

She tried to attack again, but a hand suddenly shot out and grabbed her by the neck!

Psylocke dared not move.

Her life was now in his hands.

If he wished, he could snap her neck at any moment!

"Raven, have you gotten the answer we wanted?"

Rorschach finally had the chance to ask Raven this question.

Raven nodded from the side.

In truth, things had gone smoothly at first. Caliban was greedy and, after receiving the money, readily helped Raven with her senses.

However, just as Raven was about to leave, gunshots suddenly erupted outside.

The rather sensitive and suspicious Caliban immediately ordered Raven to be captured.

"Rorschach, let's go."

Raven didn't intend to pursue the matter further and walked over to Rorschach's side.

Rorschach felt the same.

It was a misunderstanding from the start; he wasn't going to do anything to Psylocke and Caliban over this.

So, Rorschach directly released his grip on Psylocke's neck and, with Raven, swaggered away.

"Raven, did Caliban sense Shaw?"

Rorschach asked Raven this question first.

Raven shook her head, a hint of excitement on her face. "No, Shaw wasn't within Caliban's range of perception!"

Caliban wasn't far from Xavier's Manor, so Shaw being more than twenty-five miles away was indeed safe.

It was basically confirmed that Shaw hadn't found Xavier's Manor, which was good news.
