Chapter 53: Arthur Morgan, the Foolish and Loyal
When Arthur and Rorschach took their younger brother, Mary finally put down the big rock in her heart.
"Jamie!"
After a deep hug with Jamie, Mary looked at Arthur and Rorschach with her eyes full of gratitude:
"Thank you, gentlemen."
Rorschach waved his hand, "I didn't help, it's all Arthur's credit."
"No, I want to thank you, Mr. Rorschach. What you said made me feel much better..."
Meeting Jamie's serious eyes, Rorschach reached out and patted his shoulder, "Jamie, I suggest you go to college first to broaden your horizons. Believe me, at that time, you will naturally find what you want to do."
"If you really can't find it, come to Luoche Company, let's find a way together! Remember, escaping is never the solution to the problem..."
After saying that, Rorschach took out a business card and handed it to Jamie.
He put his business card into a bag he was carrying, and Jamie nodded: "I understand."
Arthur, who was watching this scene, blinked his eyes and couldn't help but remember the scene where Rorschach gave him a business card and said that he could find him if he had something to do.
He then muttered: "Is it a special hobby for this guy to post business cards everywhere..."
Pressing his thoughts temporarily, Arthur looked at the reunited sister and brothers, and also understood that his mission had been completed:
"Okay, since Jamie is back, I should leave too. It's great to see you, Mary."
"So too, Arthur, so too..."
He moved his feet for half a step, his hands and fingers were entangled together. After hesitating for a while, Mary still did not give Arthur a parting hug.
Arthur also understood that the two were no longer the relationship they had in the past, so he turned around and left resolutely.
Staring at Arthur's back, Mary seemed to suddenly think of something and suddenly shouted:
"Arthur!"
Upon hearing this, Arthur paused and slowly turned around.
"We will take the noon train home tomorrow. Can you come and see me off...we?"
After hearing this, he was happy and reluctant to leave, and then he suddenly felt complicated. After a moment of shock, Arthur nodded in a muffled voice and said:
"I'll come."
After saying that, he jumped onto his horse and rode away.
...
The next day, at noon.
Rorschach, Penelope and Arthur came to Valentine Railway Station and bid farewell to Mary and Jamie who were about to leave.
In front of the train platform, Mary said goodbye to several people again:
"Thank you, Penelope. Thank you, Mr. Rorschach. You are one of my few friends in Valentine."
"If you have time, you can come here to visit and welcome at any time."
"OK, thanks."
While speaking, Mary came to Arthur who was carrying her luggage.
After taking the luggage and looking at the man he had been obsessed with, Mary wanted to say something and stopped: "I...you..."
Finally, it just turned into a sigh:
"Oh, you will never change..."
Upon hearing this, Arthur just looked away silently and did not dare to look at him.
Because, he was afraid that he would be unable to help but board the train with Mary!
Finally, with the sound of "whimpering" whistle, the train slowly drove away from the platform.
Looking at Arthur who was full of reluctance in his eyes, Rorschach could feel Arthur's inner struggle at this moment.
Two people in love are limited by the cruel reality but cannot be together.
But, Arthur Morgan, today is your lucky day.
Because you met me...
As he murmured in his heart, Rorschach turned to Penelope beside him and said:
"Penelope, go back first. I want to say something to Arthur."
After glanced at Arthur who was silent, Penelope seemed to feel something, so he nodded obediently: "Okay."
Penelope turned and left, and only Rorschach and Arthur were left on the train platform.
The silence lasted for a moment before it was broken by Arthur:
"What do you want to say?"
"Are you going to go with her for a moment?"
Perhaps it was Rorschach's performance over the past period of time that he had gained Arthur's trust;
Or maybe he has regarded this black-haired young man as a friend, and the saying "It's nothing to do with you" was not said from Arthur, but a helpless answer:
"So what can I do if I go with her?"
"It has something to do with your fugitive identity, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Arthur was not surprised, but his brow suddenly frowned.
Yesterday, when chasing Jamie, Jamie had accidentally called out Arthur's full name and revealed that he was a fugitive.
So, it is not surprising that Rorschach knows that he is a fugitive.
On the contrary, what surprised Arthur was that this guy didn't take any measures, as if he didn't know he was talking to a fugitive.
While thinking inwardly, he did not forget to glance at Rorschach beside him, "What, do you want to capture me and receive a reward?"
"If I were to arrest you, I would have done it yesterday. Will I have to wait until now?
"Don't worry, there are many criminals who are more fierce than you among my friends..."
This sentence is the truth.
After all, Lao Mai, Xiaofu, Trevor and Leicester of Los Santos, all of them are much more serious and more stylish than Arthur, a small Western outlaw, who committed crimes...
Meeting those black eyes, Arthur did not see any dodging, only a strong sincerity.
"Then what the hell do you want to say?"
"Nothing, I just feel a pity for you and Mary..."
"You'd better take care of your own affairs!"
After leaving this sentence, Arthur turned around and left without hesitation.
Looking at Arthur's leaving back, Rossie pulled the corner of her mouth and slowly showed a smile:
"I will. Because your business is mine..."
...
Since triggering the main mission "Reden" quest, Rorschach began to think about how to make Arthur and Van Delin survive.
After thinking about it, Roche thought the best way was to let the gang members of the Vanderlin gang recognize a cruel reality as much as possible:
In this era, there is no place for the desperate!
Other gang members are better, and most of them join the Vanderlin Gang because of survival problems.
As long as their survival problems are solved, they are allowed to leave the Vanderlin Gang and return to a peaceful life, it is not difficult.
Hosia, the second-in-commander of the gang, is also a person who understands the truth and is the target that can be won against.
However, the only guy Arthur is a headache for him.
In the game, as the plot unfolds, Arthur witnesses Dutch become crazy step by step, leading the Van Delin Gang to the abyss that is bound to be doomed.
Even so, he did not resist Dutch, but instead helped other gang members privately to keep them away from the shipwreck called the "Van der Lin Gang".
Yes, Arthur Morgan, is a foolish and loyal man.
Let him give up Dutch and give up Vanderlin to help this family that has been growing up since childhood?
Basically impossible!
Of course, Rorschach doesn't think that even Marie can do it himself.
But, one Mary is not enough, then what about adding a Hosia?
After passing the game, Rorschach naturally knew that Hosia's position in Arthur's heart was no less than that of Dutch.
He believed that as long as Arthur cared about, he would tell him that this would have no future.
Then with billions of external pressure, Arthur will think about what is the better choice.
Of course, you should not be too hasty in everything.
The reason why he got involved in the affairs of Mary and brothers was to plant a seed in Arthur's heart.
A seed that yearns for a peaceful life.
As long as you continue to irrigate patiently, this seed will sooner or later break out of the ground and grow into a towering tree...
At that time, Arthur may understand that he actually has a choice.
Or choose to give up the gang fighting and killing, reconcile with Mary, and live the life of an ordinary person;
Or you will continue to be a desperate person, blindly follow the idea king of Dutch, being chased by the wave of the times, and eventually being cruelly eliminated!
What Rorschach has to do is make sure Arthur chooses the former!
