Chapter 14 "The Arsonist" Cecil Tucker
The successful arrest of the "Black Widow" is a good start for Rorschach's career as a bounty hunter.

In the next 20 days, he completed three reward tasks one after another at an average frequency of once a week.

And the reward targets he faces include the recidivist robbery of carriages and trains, the gunman with many lives on his back, and even the bloodthirsty desperadoes.

During the period, he also had several "friendly meetings" with colleagues who wanted to grab business

As for the result, Rorschach had tens of dollars more in his pocket.

In the wilderness, there were a few more corpses with bullet holes between their eyebrows...

Every day he stays in the west, Rorschach finds more and more that the west is wilder, simpler and rougher than Los Santos, where sirens are ringing everywhere.

Because there are too few law enforcement personnel in the west.

The sheriff and the police officers are good enough to protect the public order in the town.

Especially in the wild, the only one who can protect himself is Schofield in his hands!

Where there is demand, there will be a market.

This is why the profession of bounty hunters is flourishing...

For more than half a month, not only did Rorschach adapt to the western lifestyle and became familiar with the work of bounty hunters, but also allowed him to quickly warm up his relationship with "Carrot", and his [Equestrian Mastery] skills improved to a higher level. grade.

However, the improvement of skill level is not the only good thing that makes Rorschach feel refreshed...

. . .

The spring day is high, the bright sunshine is shining on the body, and it feels warm.

Riding a sorrel horse, Rorschach, who had just returned to town from Downs Ranch, could not help squinting his eyes comfortably.

At this time, he heard a male voice from the right:
"good afternoon!"

Following the prestige, I saw a middle-aged man in a vest and gold-rimmed glasses standing in front of the clinic, greeting himself.

Rorschach on the horseback pulled the brim of his hat casually, and smiled back:

"Good afternoon, Doctor."

Alter, Valentine's only doctor, wasn't the first townsman to greet him.

Of course, not the last one.

During the short journey to the sheriff's office, Rorschach hardly stopped greeting people.

Pedestrians passing by and townspeople sitting in front of the store will smile from the bottom of their hearts when they see this black-haired young man dressed in denim.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Rorschach!"

"good afternoon."

"How's your day, Mr. Rorschach."

"Very good, thank you for your concern."

...

The high hunting efficiency made the whole Valentine know that there was an excellent bounty hunter in the town who captured four wanted criminals in less than a month.

Moreover, this young bounty hunter is different from other bounty hunters who regard money as their life.

He is very generous.

According to Mr. Downs, every time a reward mission is completed, this respectable Mr. Rorschach will donate part of the reward to the poor!

Not only personally went out to hunt down dangerous wanted criminals, but also contributed money to help poor people living in poverty...

Under the propaganda of Pastor Downs and the poor people who got help, Rorschach, who had just arrived, was quickly accepted by the townspeople of Valentine.

If there are any selections of "good people in the west" and "top ten and three good young people in the west" in this era, Rorschach will undoubtedly be selected...

Doing good deeds will gain the respect and kindness of others - this is the education Rorschach has received since childhood.

It is also the truth he realized when playing the game "Red Dead Redemption 2".

In the game, the more good things the player chooses to do, the higher the honor value, Arthur will enter a good ending; the more bad things the player does, the lower the honor value, Arthur will enter a bad ending.

If this is a very real game of life, you are the character you control.

Then, Rorschach hopes to be a good person!
What's more, doing good deeds has many benefits for him.

For example, when walking on the street, someone would greet him; when he went to a store to buy something, the boss would give him a discount; even the prostitutes in the tavern would throw themselves into his arms.

Of course, Rorschach is not the kind of person who sees color.

For a promising young man who has dated many female stars in Hollywood, his resistance is not bad...

After fastening the "radish", Rorschach pushed open the door of the sheriff's office with ease.

Looking up, he saw that it was Rorschach, and Sheriff Malloy behind the desk couldn't help but twitched his mouth: "Ha, isn't this our exclusive avenging angel? It seems that another bastard is going to be in trouble today..."

Hearing this, Luo Xia smiled and teased on purpose: "Are you not afraid that I will arrest all the wanted criminals and even rob you of your job?"

Leaning back in the chair, Malloy moved his butt, and spread his hands indifferently: "That's better, less trouble, and easier for me. Anyway, the bounty is given to you by the state government, not from me. out of the purse."

After getting acquainted with each other, the sheriff gradually revealed his true side...

Smiling, Rorschach went straight to the reward wall, his eyes lingering on the arrest warrants.

Finally, he took off one of the cards, turned to Sheriff Malloy, and asked, "How much do you know about Cecil Tucker, the 'arsonist'?"

Looking at the portrait of the man on the arrest warrant, Sergeant Malloy was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, and blurted out:

"Cecil Tucker is a bastard! His crimes are all acts of cowards..."

"His favorite thing to do is to set fire to sleeping innocent people..."

"However, based on my many years of experience, I can tell you that as long as a person's crime is ugly enough, he will definitely be punished!"

After a pause, Sergeant Malloy frowned, implying: "No, his retribution is coming..."

You know, in the past half a month, none of the wanted criminals targeted by Rorschach could escape his pursuit!

Thinking of this, Malloy couldn't help but mourn for Cecil Tucker for a second.

Rorschach is checking the content of the arrest warrant.Naturally, he didn't know Malloy's inner thoughts.

He just kept Cecil Tucker's appearance and related information firmly in his mind.

The reason why he chose "Arsonist" Cecil Tucker as the last reward target is simple:
This is a damned coward!

Of course, his bounty is not bad either.

You know, the boss of the Anderson gang is only worth $150.

And this guy is worth three hundred dollars!
Just when Rorschach had some doubts about this "price", Sergeant Malloy gave the answer:

"I heard he fled to the Lemoyne Marauders around Fort Brennand."

"Lemoyne Predator?" Frowning slightly, Rorschach repeated the somewhat familiar name.

"That's a group of desperadoes made up of the remnants of the South during the Civil War. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Their boss is called Lindsay Woover, and he is also a damn bastard."

"They are numerous and have committed crimes in several counties around New Hanover. Fort Brennand is one of their known strongholds."

After a pause, Malloy's expression became serious, and he added: "It's also the most heavily guarded one!"

Hearing this, Rorschach looked down at the portrait of the man on the arrest warrant, and couldn't help grinning with a sneer:
So that's why you're worth three hundred dollars...
