Rorschach hasn't slept in three days.
But he was not tired at all, on the contrary he was very excited!
This was the first time he encountered such a criminal, especially since this guy was so crazy.
"So, you plan to cooperate with the police?" Luo Xia looked at the bruised and swollen man in front of him, his voice still calm and strong.
"Damn it! I told you a long time ago that I want you to cooperate! You don't believe it!" Master Mirror said angrily, rubbing his bruised and swollen face.
That's right, Mirror Master's revenge is to seek the cooperation of the police!
It has always been said before that Mirror Master is just a gangster, and even if he gets super powers, there is no way to change this. The reason why he joined the gang was very simple, just like the reason why all delinquent youths join the gang... at first he thought it was cool.
Yes, that's the ridiculous reason.
After Mirror Master realized that he had superpowers, he felt that he shouldn't stay with ordinary people, but if you ask him to form his own gang...well, I'm sorry, he doesn't know how!
He has always been at the bottom, even in the gang world.
To put it simply, he is just a gangster, the kind of low-level scum who has no courage and only dares to deceive and deceive others.
He is not an extremely evil person. The reason why he is like that is entirely due to the choice of the times and family, and of course it is also due to his own failure.
He was born into a lower-class white family, and because he couldn't afford the rent, he had to rent a house in a black community. In American society, black people are generally discriminated against. But it does not mean that all white people have the right to discriminate against black people.
Such as the Mirror Master's family.
His father was a manual worker and an alcoholic. Mother...well, it's hard to say what his mother's occupation was. She worked as a waitress and a part-time prostitute, and she also had a little hobby of attracting fans.
A family that is a mess, don't expect any warmth from such a family.
And to be white and live in a black community... it's a disaster. He has lived with discrimination.
No black man would hang out with a poor white kid.
He originally joined the gang just to avoid being bullied.
But no matter what, apart from being pretty, he basically has no talent.
He is timid and timid, and people in the gang don't think highly of him.
At most, he won't be bullied by outsiders, but people in the gang can still bully him. After gaining the power, he did take revenge on those bastards.
But people always have to move forward.
Without the gang, he was a little lost, he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, there is a peak person. The two were originally lovers, and then they became male and female robbers, making some money and continuing to be cool.
At this time Captain Frost found them and asked them to join.
To put it bluntly, Mirror Master was actually very happy about this invitation. I think this is recognition. You must know that even Snart was a boss-level figure in the past, and his status in the world was much stronger than him! As for Heat Wave, let alone that, he is notoriously brave.
Then he soon discovered that he seemed to think everything was too good.
He is the younger brother everywhere and gets no respect, but he has to admit that he is more accustomed to such a role. Be submissive and do as you are told.
This is the Mirror Master.
Nothing can be achieved in life, no ability, no courage.
He really didn't dare to ask him to take revenge on the truly vicious criminals like Snart, Heatwave and Jesse, and he didn't know what to do.
But fortunately he thought of the police!
Now all the police in New York are looking for them!
This frightened the Mirror Master.
Their biggest goal is to defeat The Flash.
But he never planned to mess with the superhero bosses in New York.
They agreed at the beginning.
The purpose of their rogue gang is to make money and defeat The Flash.
Other than that, they don't do anything extra.
Snart felt like Jesse was losing control.
But from the perspective of Mirror Master, why are they not?
So for the sake of your own life, it is more reliable to cooperate with the police.
He thought to himself that he was no match for those two groups in terms of ability or IQ, so he simply joined the strongest force.
"How do I know you're not lying?"
"Fake! If I lied, would I tell you so much?" Mirror Master felt that the guy in front of him was really ink.
Arrest people quickly!
"Reason! Sam Scudder, I have read all your information. It is impossible for a person like you to cooperate with the police just because of conscience! Give me a reasonable reason!" Rorschach does not trust the Mirror Master. In fact, this This is normal operation. "Otherwise, I will beat you to tell the truth. Believe me, I am not one of those policemen who likes to follow rules and regulations. I... am Rorschach!"
"Okay! ok! I said, I said!" Mirror Master has no idea what the hell Rorschach is. New adjective?
But he really didn't want to get beaten.
After all, Mirror Master's hand-to-hand combat ability...is that of an ordinary person. Apart from superpowers, he can't even beat an ordinary policeman.
As for torture to extract confessions... ha!
He is not afraid at all.
Because he will tell everything before the other party wants to torture him to extract a confession!
It's so hard!
He's really not a tough guy.
"The Rogue Gang... is a mess now. Snart and Heat Wave want to kill Jesse, and Jesse is completely fed up with Snart and his ridiculous rules, and plans to kill Jesse. That idiot Rosalind was also ruined by Jesse. He became his accomplice. Only Mark, that idiot, didn’t know anything and still followed orders stupidly.”
Speaking of which, the most pitiable thing is Mark Madon. He knows nothing and still imagines that Snart's plan will succeed, and then he will return to Los Angeles to kill The Flash and avenge his unlucky brother.
"Why are they killing each other? I remember the Scoundrels were always very united."
Rorschach asked curiously.
Although the Rogue Gang has a small number of people, it has its own rules, which are much stronger than many super-powered criminal gangs.
At least the members will rescue each other.
But now it seems...
"Everything is because we were defeated by the Flash... many times." Mirror Master saw that Rorschach was willing to listen to him, and he relaxed, sat down on the ground, and folded his hands: "You know the beginning of the Rogue Gang That’s the original intention of establishing it, right?”
Luo Xia shook his head honestly: "I don't know."
Does this thing still have an original intention?
What's that?
A group of criminals gathered together to cause trouble... for what reason?
"Okay, okay, it seems that we didn't explain this to the outside world. After all, we don't have a spokesperson." Mirror Master shrugged and said: "At first, it was Snart, this smart bastard, who was defeated several times by the Flash. After that, he felt that he was no match for The Flash, so he planned to gather some people who had a grudge against The Flash to deal with The Flash together. He also set some rules for our gang, not to kill women and children, and not to use drugs. , only commit crimes for money and The Flash, and don’t do other unnecessary things. To be honest, I quite like the gangsters. At least in my opinion, these are the real gang organizations, those organizations that want to rule the world at every turn. , I simply don’t know what it means. What’s the point of ruling the world? I can’t even read the report.”
Rorschach looked at Mirror Master speechlessly, feeling that this guy... was really pure.
It's just plain bad, and there's nothing wrong with it.
"Do you believe this?"
Rorschach looked at Mirror Master in surprise.
He stopped believing this kind of joke when he was eight years old.
Just like in the movie The Godfather, it is said that the Corleone family will never touch drugs... Haha, it sounds like the Mafia has morals. That thing was invested and filmed by the mafia! Anyone who believes it is a fool, that is glorifying the mafia!
The Rogue Gang has a bit of that meaning.
"At least when we were in Los Angeles, everyone was willing to comply. But after several failed battles with The Flash, we came to New York... To be honest, I felt that this city was poisonous. After coming here, I found that everyone was It's changed. Snart has become a lot more sullen, although he wasn't much better before. Jesse is crazy, although he was pretty crazy before, and then my girlfriend cuckolded me... Um, this Yes, she has done this before, but she has never gone so far."
The more he talked, the more suspicious the Mirror Master felt.
"Seriously, do you really have nothing suspicious about magic that amplifies human desires?"
"This is New York, man," Rorschach said with a shrug.
New York, the city of desire.
There is a saying that goes like this: "If you love someone, send him to New York, because that is heaven; if you hate someone, send him to New York, because that is hell!"
Materialism is synonymous with this city.
There is no truth here except money.
Human nature will be infinitely magnified here!
Anyone can get lost here.
However, think about it, this place always becomes the center of trouble for no reason, maybe there is something like magic!
"Go on!"
"There's nothing to say. I felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, and I didn't want to become cannon fodder for no reason because of their fight, so I came here."
"Have you been spying on me?" Rorschach immediately sensed something from his words and asked.
"Hey! My name is Mirror Master. There are not many other places in New York. Mirrors are everywhere! To me, there are no secrets in this city!" Mirror Master said proudly.
It's actually nonsense.
Yes, he can indeed travel through mirrors.
But he doesn't know how to clone himself. He has very few mirrors to monitor by himself.
It was pure luck that he found Rorschach.
In addition, he is a little afraid of other people.
After all, except for Rorschach, who likes to use fists, everyone else really likes to use guns.
If you encounter a bad-tempered person and shoot him as soon as he shows up, isn't the game over?
"Okay, go ahead. If you come to me, you will definitely find something!"
"Continental Illinois Bank! Continental Illinois Bank in Manhattan!"
"Continental Illinois Bank? That place has been abandoned. What are they doing there?" Rorschach asked curiously.
Continental Illinois Bank, in the early 1980s, was one of the best banks in the United States, but it went bankrupt. Before its bankruptcy, Continental Illinois Bank was considered one of the five best-managed banks in the United States and was hailed by the media as a model for the banking industry. Steadily increasing profits, rising returns to shareholders and rapid expansion of its share of the industrial and commercial loan market all make Continental Illinois a favorite. In the early 1980s, Continental Illinois Bank was the seventh largest bank in the United States, with assets of $40 billion.
In early May 1984, when there were problems with core deposits, regulatory authorities discovered that many of the bank's loans (energy loans, industrial and commercial loans without quality requirements, etc.) had become bad debts. Rumors about the financial difficulties of Continental Illinois Bank caused large depositors in the domestic Eurodollar market to withdraw hundreds of millions of deposits. That is, encountering a run.
Experiencing a run is what banks fear most. Moreover, the bank itself had many problems, and it also encountered difficulties in lending to its peers, so it went bankrupt that month.
This incident has a great impact, but it has nothing to do with this place.
As for the Continental Illinois Bank in Manhattan, it is a very old building. It was built in 1917. It is a typical colonial building and is made entirely of marble. Although it is not tall, it has a very contemporary atmosphere, so it is very popular in Continental Illinois. After the Bank went bankrupt, the building's ownership changed hands several times due to New York City's regulations on cultural relic protection.
After all, in such a good location, it cannot be demolished or even significantly modified, which will greatly reduce the value.
That is to say, the New York City government has been urging the owners to maintain it, so that it does not become a homeless colony.
However, it has indeed been abandoned for more than ten years and has not been used.
Apart from the buildings, the only thing left there is the underground vault.
There was nothing worth grabbing.
In the underground vault, there is nothing left except the vault.
"Adrian and his gang have sealed some of their collection of alien weapons there. Jesse got the key from Mason. They are about to open it and take out the weapons."
"Fake! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Rorschach immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
He immediately took out his phone.
"I wanted to say it, but you beat me up as soon as you saw me... I didn't even have a chance to say it!"
Mirror Master is more wronged than Rorschach, doesn't he want to say it?
What the hell, I told you that I was here to cooperate, but instead of saying anything, you just beat me up. Did you give me a chance to speak?
Luo Xia rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Of course, Mirror Master can't tell... You're wearing a mask and you know you winked?
"Hey, Director Wayne, I found their clue!"
"Well, lower Manhattan, the abandoned Continental Illinois Bank, where Adrian hid some alien weapons. They're going to take them out."
This is Master Mirror shouting into his mobile phone: "Adrian and the others hid those weapons because they thought they were too dangerous! Those weapons are extremely powerful, so be careful!"
Luo Xia quickly got out of the way and continued with her cell phone: "That was the informant just now..."
"No! I am not an informant! I am a collaborator! I came to cooperate on my own initiative! I am Sam Scudder, codenamed Mirror Master! I came to cooperate on my own initiative!"
Although Mirror Master has no skills, he has quite a lot. The police cheated little Karami like them, so he knows how to get benefits for himself. In fact, he doesn’t know who is on the other side of the phone at all, but it doesn’t matter. He must let the New York police know who he is. credit!
"Well, I know, I will solve it properly!"
