Chapter 11 The First Reward: Black Widow

In a forest not far from Downs Ranch.

The sun shines through the lush branches and leaves, reflecting on a meadow.

Rorschach, wearing a cowboy hat and a black windbreaker, stood in the forest, staring ahead with a solemn expression.

From his tense body and the hands placed on the holster at the waist, one can clearly feel that this man is like a beast waiting for an opportunity, exuding a slight sense of oppression all over his body.

Seven or eight meters away in front of him was a wooden box.

On the wooden box, six empty beer bottles are arranged in a row.

A gust of wind blew past, and the sound of "rustling" rang from my ears.

at this time!

The black eyes under the brim of the hat froze for a moment, and his right hand was as fast as lightning, and he pulled out the Scofield pistol in the holster!

The pistol was not raised, but was placed at the waist, and the muzzle was aimed at the beer bottles on the wooden box.

The right hand held the trigger tightly, while the left hand beat the hammer one after another.

bang bang bang! ! !
Accompanied by a series of crisp gunshots, the six beer bottles standing on the wooden box exploded one after another, turning into pieces.

After firing the bullets at once, he broke the Schofield pistol in his hand and dumped it casually, and the six shell casings that exuded a faint smell of gunpowder fell to the ground together.

While loading bullets into the cylinder, Rorschach nodded in satisfaction while looking at the empty wooden box.

This forest was exactly where Luo Xia practiced his gun for a week.

In the past week, except for eating, drinking, sleeping, arguing with the sheriff, and practicing equestrianism, he basically stayed in this forest, constantly practicing how to use the firearms of this era.

The results and improvements that a lot of training brings are remarkable.

Now he has basically mastered the skill of quick waist shooting.Moreover, the speed of drawing the gun has basically reached the limit of exercise.

From Luo Xia's point of view, with his current reaction and speed of drawing the gun, as long as he doesn't meet Arthur who has the [Death Eye] plug-in, he will basically not be killed in seconds.

Everything is ready, and it's time to find a "soft persimmon" and squeeze it...

Whispering, Rorschach pinched the trigger hole with his right index finger, rotated the Schofield in his hand, and put it back into the holster around his waist.

In the next second, he pulled the brim of his hat, turned around without hesitation, and left...

. . .

Valentine, Sheriff's Office.

Seeing Rorschach who pushed the door and entered, Sergeant Malloy, who was sitting behind the desk with his feet crossed and fishing at work, said casually:

"I've never seen a bounty hunter like you."

"How to say?"

"Run to the police station every day, but don't accept any rewards, don't you think it's strange?"

Hearing this, Rorschach spread his hands, "This is just my personal habit. I like to do everything well-prepared."

"Mr. Well Prepared, how are you preparing?"

Hearing the sheriff's ridicule, Rorschach who was standing in front of the reward wall didn't answer, just smiled, then stretched out his hand, and tore off one of the many reward orders on the wall.

Seeing this, Sergeant Malloy raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but put down his legs, and sat up straight: "Let me see, which bastard is it, so unlucky..."

Handing the reward order to the sheriff, Luo Xia received a slightly surprised look from the other party: "It's her?!"

I saw a picture of a woman in the middle of the somewhat yellowed reward order.

Below the photo is the relevant information of the reward target:
Reward target: "Black Widow" Allie Anne Swan!
Crime: Murder of her husband
Reward Amount: $35
Haunted area: around Cumberland Falls

Remarks: Need to be captured alive for interrogation

Pressing the reward order casually, Sergeant Malloy raised the brim of his hat and stared at Rorschach, as if he wanted to see his inner thoughts from that indifferent expression:

"I thought you would choose a more difficult goal..."

"Sometimes a vicious woman can do more damage than a shooter."

"Makes sense..."

Shrugging, Sergeant Malloy did not forget to remind Rorschach: "According to eyewitnesses, this black widow is accompanied by an unidentified man who may be her new lover. You'd better be careful." ..."

Hearing this, Rorschach blinked, and then asked: "Sheriff, I want to know, if this man prevents me from arresting the target, can I shoot him?"

"If he doesn't draw a gun, you'd better not kill him. However, it's perfectly fine to teach him not to go near wanted men."

After getting a general understanding of the law enforcement standards of bounty hunters, Rorschach nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

After copying the reward order and putting it in his pocket, Luo Xia turned and walked towards the door.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the blessing of Sheriff Malloy came from behind:
"Happy hunting!"

Raising his hand without looking back, Luo Xia came to the hitching post in front of the door, untied the rein, kicked his feet, and easily boarded the "radish" on the back of the horse.

"drive!"

One person and one horse galloped towards the outside of the town...

. . .

Cumberland Falls is located in the southwest of Valentine, not far from Downs Ranch.

So, Rorschach rode his horse to the direction of Downs Ranch first, and then turned his horse's head when he reached a crossroads, and continued towards the northwest.

The horse's hooves lightly stepped on the green grass, and the spring breeze rushed towards his face. Luo Xia, who rode the horse forward, could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.

What a fine day to hunt down wanted criminals...

The reason for choosing "Black Widow" as the first reward target is simple.

She is the least difficult of all wanted criminals!

none of them!

Moreover, when playing "Red Dead Redemption 2", Rorschach had also done this bounty task, and knew more about this lady's hiding place.

Just use it to practice your hands and adapt to the work of the bounty hunter in the west.

Pulling the rein to slow down the "radish" under his crotch, Rorschach reached into the inner pocket of the windbreaker and took out a notebook with a brown cover.

Opening the notebook, I saw a rough sketch map drawn with a pencil on the page.

Locations such as Valentine, Downs Ranch, and Cumberland Falls are all marked.

Rorschach, who traveled to the western world in person, is not like playing a game. He can call up the game map anytime and anywhere to view it.

All he can do is to roughly draw the various locations on the map with a pencil and mark them clearly.

Just like Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of the game, recorded the map and his thoughts in a small notebook...

Looking at the clear river below the hillside, and the mouth of the waterfall that broke suddenly not far away, Rorschach, standing on the hillside, recalled the position in the game, and couldn't help murmuring:
"It should be nearby..."
