Chapter 3 Anderson Gang, Waiting for the Rabbit

When the train arrived at Valentine Station, the passengers in the carriage finally let go of the big stone in their hearts.

When getting off the car, the passengers in the carriage stepped forward to express their gratitude to Rorschach, the benefactor who prevented the robbery from happening:

"Thank you, Mr. Rorschach."

"Grateful…"

The last one to get off was Johnson.

Before the other party could speak, Luo Xia spoke first:
"Mr. Johnson, can you do me one last favor?"

"You said."

Pointing to the robber lying on the ground with his hands and feet bound, Luo Xia immediately ordered:

"I'm watching this guy here to prevent him from escaping. You go to the sheriff's office and tell the sheriff what happened here, and let him bring someone over to deal with the matter here, okay?"

"Okay, Mr. Rorschach. I'm going now!"

Watching Johnson leave, only Rorschach and a kidnapped robber remained in the entire carriage.

Before the sheriff arrived, Rorschach came to the corpses of the three robbers and touched the corpses with ease.

A beautiful pocket watch, $56, and two boxes of ammunition are his final harvest.

Throwing all the bullets into the [system space], stuffing the pocket watch and banknotes into his pocket, Rorschach saw the gate of the station being pushed open.

The leader was Johnson.

Behind him was a middle-aged man in a light brown long trench coat.

I saw him wearing a black cowboy hat with slightly turned up sides, and a police badge with a six-pointed star hanging on his black vest.

With a comically neat mustache and unsteady eyes, it seems that there is not much sense of security in this small town law enforcement officer.

On both sides of him, there are two similarly dressed men with shield badges, who seem to be the sheriff's assistants.

The man with the mustache boarded the train carriage with two of his men. After inspecting the three corpses and the robber for a while, he finally landed on Rorschach:
"I'm Sheriff Malloy of Valentine. Is that you looking for me?"

"Nice to meet you, Inspector. I suppose Mr. Johnson has told you what happened?"

Nodding his head, Sergeant Malloy looked at the black-haired young man in front of him appreciatively, "Yes, young man, you are very brave. What's your name?"

"Rorschach."

"Mr. Rorschach, I heard from Mr. Johnson that you are a bounty hunter?"

"Yeah, I just came from Boston, and I just ran across the idea of ​​these guys taking trains, so..."

Shrugging, Rorschach immediately added: "I can only resort to self-defense."

"Of course! In America, everyone has the right to protect themselves and their property!"

After approving Rorschach's behavior, Sergeant Malloy waved his hand casually and ordered, "Officer Morris, Officer Steven, go and see who those bastards are."

"Okay, sir."

As soon as the words fell, a police officer went straight to the kidnapped robber.

Another police officer came to the three corpses and pulled off the veils of the corpses one by one, trying to identify the robbers.

When he pulled away the face scarf of a man with bloodstained chest and slightly longer hair, he seemed to see something very surprising, and exclaimed involuntarily:

"Anders Anderson?!"

Hearing this, Sergeant Malloy and Rorschach followed the prestige at the same time.

Sergeant Malloy stepped forward to confirm it, and then raised his head and looked at Rorschach with a smile: "Young man, you are lucky. You actually killed Anders Anderson!"

Hearing this name, Rorschach felt inexplicably familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"Is he famous?"

"In a sense, yes. His Anderson gang, murders, robberies, and kidnappings, are all scumbags among some scumbags. They have committed no less than a dozen crimes. It's full of wanted criminals..."

After a pause, Sergeant Malloy looked at Rorschach with a hint of envy:
"Congratulations, young man, you have just earned yourself a handsome bounty."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Rorschach, "Come on, young man, help me. Take these scumbags back to my office, and you can get your share of the bounty."

Hearing this, Luo Xia frowned, and agreed without hesitation:

"Very happy!"

Next, Rorschach helped to move the three corpses to a wagon outside the station, covered it with tarpaulin, got into the wagon, and drove slowly along the road into Valentine...

. . .

According to Rorschach's memories of playing the game, Valentine in the game is a noisy and chaotic town located in the heart of the earth.

Valentine's livestock auction industry has attracted countless businessmen, ranchers, gamblers, and desperadoes from afar, looking for opportunities to make money, commit crimes, or seek pleasure.

It's a place for hardworking people, but also an ideal paradise for cowboys, fugitives, whores...

"Give way!"

Hearing the shout from behind, a shepherd quickly waved his whip and drove a small group of sheep connected by ropes away from the road to allow enough space for the carriage to pass.

On the side of the carriage, Sergeant Malloy held the reins of the horse and asked the black-haired young man sitting on the carriage:

"Young man, is this your first visit to Valentine?"

"Yes, Sheriff."

"It looks very lively here..."

"Yes, but excitement often brings a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Rorschach's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but think of the biggest "trouble" in the game - the Van der Lin gang.

Judging from the timeline, the robbery in Heishui Town has not yet happened.

The Van der Lin gang should still be active near Blackwater Town.

And if he wants to trigger the main mission of this world, he must get in touch with the protagonist of the world, that is, Arthur Morgan!
However, after learning that the train's destination was Valentine, Rorschach had a preliminary plan.

Because, Rorschach, who has played the game, knows very well that after the robbery in Blackwater Town, the Van der Lin gang will stay in the "Coulter Village" on the snow mountain for a period of time before camping at the Horseshoe Watchtower near Valentine. .

Therefore, the next thing he has to do is to stay in Valentine and wait for the rabbit...

Thinking of this, Rorschach couldn't help turning his head, showing a smile to the sheriff,
"Just right, I'm not afraid of trouble..."

Hearing this, the sheriff was a little surprised at the self-confidence shown by this young man.

However, when he recalled what happened on the train, he was immediately relieved.

"hope so…"

Taking a carriage, the group soon came to Valentine's main street.

Black muddy streets, a faint smell of dung in the air...

At the entrance of the store, two men wearing cowboy hats and revolvers on their waists, with inferior cigarettes in their hands, were leaning against the guardrail, puffing...

Looking at the scenes that appeared in the game before him, Rorschach couldn't help realizing a fact again:
I really came to the wild, free and dangerous American West at the end of the 19th century!
