Chapter 3201: Detective is about to die (Fifty-two)
In Bruce's spiritual world, the place left vacant by Pride's departure soon welcomed a new guest. Greedy threw himself into the soft sofa, lit a cigar cut by Pride, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.
Lucifer looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be the first one out. In fact, we just made a bet, and I bet on you to win."
"Thank you, where do you get your confidence from?" Greedy turned to him and asked.
"I think you are very strong, and the background story you designed is very good, which gives you a stronger advantage than others."
"So here I am now."
Lucifer was stunned for a moment, because he heard something behind Greed's words. Greed rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you see it yet? Batman is definitely working with the agent."
Lucifer also reached out for a cigar, lit it up and said, "Are you saying they deliberately tricked you?"
"That's right, that damn Batman!" Greedy gnashed his teeth and said, "This is obviously a trap set by Batman and the agent. The purpose is to eliminate me and Night Owl first."
"But they don't have the time... Oh, wait, when you came here, you didn't have time to check the surveillance equipment, so you don't know what they said."
Greedy propped his head up with his hands and sighed, "I really shouldn't have made my background story so good. A regional dominant health insurance company that has been deeply involved in the weird field for many years, has caught two monsters, and has a high-tech laboratory here. This advantage is so great that even if they unite, they may not be able to deal with me. Naturally, they will unite to eliminate me first."
"Too much is as bad as too little." Lucifer said with a smile.
"The analysis of the Joker conducted by Batman and the agent was actually to draw the conclusion that I am not very dangerous. However, this was not said to the agent, but to me."
"To paralyze you?"
"Almost. Batman is actually speaking in a sarcastic way. He keeps emphasizing that my character is not dangerous, which makes it easy to realize that the key to winning the game is not the logic of the players' behavior, but the resources they actually have."
"Does the agent understand?"
"It can be said that he is the only one who can understand it, because he is a very pragmatic person, as pragmatic as Batman. He doesn't want to understand any fancy personality analysis, but only looks at what he actually has at the moment."
Lucifer shook his head and said, "This is quite unlucky for you, because what you are best at is using various means to divert other people's attention, and then taking the opportunity to collect a lot of real resources."
"Yes, it's all because of his arrogance. He must have planned to call the agents here. I can never do anything with this guy."
"He and Batman have the same idea." Lucifer sighed softly and said, "They are on the same path. It is difficult to distract their vision. They always maintain a clear understanding of the situation and accurately judge who they need to deal with the most."
Greedy nodded, not too reluctantly. He turned the cigar in his hand and said, "I rarely encounter an opponent like Batman. He is sober and amazing."
"I have to say, this is a very correct choice." Walter said, "In terms of resources, you have too much advantage. The key is that you don't intend to win with anyone. From the beginning, you have been planning to wait for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to catch the cicada, right?"
"Isn't this as it should be?" Greed said, "Since players are allowed to fight each other, there can only be one winner in the end. If I don't start preparing in advance, it will be difficult to maintain my advantage until the end."
"And then you're out."
"You could say that from the moment I finished making up the background story, it was destined that everyone would unite to deal with me, so I needed to constantly divert attention and expose as few resources as possible."
"It's a pity that Batman didn't fall for your trick." The Beyonder swung his legs and said, "If it was just him, it might be better, but the other one is also special, so you ended up in trouble."
"I have already told them the most crucial information. If they still can't pass the level, I will not let them go even if I become a ghost." Greedy said unhappily.
"What about Night Owl?" Lucifer looked at the fire in the fireplace and said, "Although he is hiding very well, his chances of winning don't seem great."
Greed shook his head and said, "Batman will definitely kill him. It's not because of their fight between good and evil, but mainly because Batman doesn't know Nite Owl well enough, and Nite Owl always sides with Bruce."
"I understand. This is also for balance." Walter said: "The situation of this game is that players have to unite to deal with strange events, but they can't go too far, because they have to be wary of each other and prepare for the fights between players later."
"This results in most people only being able to cooperate superficially, and more often than not they are testing each other rather than helping each other sincerely. Everyone is reserving their power and acting on their own."
"But if someone stands firmly by another person because of off-field factors, then the chances of these two people winning are too great, especially at the end, when everyone is in a bad state, having an extra helper who will try his best can almost determine the victory."
"But will Night Owl really help Bruce sincerely?" Lucifer raised a question.
"Why not?" Greed said, "Both the evil and righteous Batman are very pragmatic. The success or failure of a copy game is insignificant to them, but if they can gain Bruce's trust with this victory, it will be a sure win for them."
Lucifer sneered. Night Owl and Bruce, who were superficial brothers, were really interesting. One of them pretended to seduce with real feelings, and the other pretended to be deceived with real feelings. They started acting as soon as they opened their eyes every day and they were not tired at all.
"Actually, I think the main reason is that Batman doesn't know enough about Night Owl." Greedy said, "If the Joker wasn't in this game, Batman might take this opportunity to collect information about Night Owl, but with the Joker around, it's safer to just kill this abnormally behaving Batman."
"Does he think Nite Owl will help the Joker?"
Greed shook his head and said, "He probably doesn't want the Joker to learn more about Batman's behavior logic through Nite Owl. After all, the evil Batman is still Batman."
"I understand." The Transcendent nodded and said, "Batman should have seen that the Joker has only been around for a short time and is still a rookie. If he is allowed to grow too fast, the Batman of that universe will be in trouble."
"His worries are a bit unnecessary." Lucifer glanced at Greed and said, "The Batman corresponding to this Joker has evolved, and someone has contributed greatly to this."
At this time, the Beyonder asked again: "How dare the two of them bet that Bruce would definitely save Batman? What if Bruce saved you, then wouldn't Batman be dead?"
"Why don't you think about why the Joker suddenly appeared?" Greedy asked. He said, "The Joker has the skill of rolling dice. If he uses ordinary first aid skills successfully, he can also save Batman."
"Will the Joker really save Batman?"
"When he arrived and saw the current situation, did he have any other choice but to save Batman?"
"I have the most resources in my hands, while Batman has the strongest ability. We are a check and balance between the two of us. If we take action against others at this time, we will be at a disadvantage when facing them later, so we must hold back."
"If I am alive and Batman is dead, I don't have to think about how to deal with Batman later. I can just use all my resources to smash the Joker to death."
"The Joker is not a madman. He and Batman are equally capable of judging situations. So if he arrives and finds that one of us might die, he will definitely try to save us."
"Then why didn't he save you?"
"Because he was late." Greedy thought, "I was wondering why he was so late. It shouldn't have been too late."
"Do you know what he's doing?"
"Of course, he must have guessed that Docter was the Prowler, so the main purpose of his return to the cabin was to check if Docter's body was still there. If not, it means that I have indeed cooperated with Batman."
"Then how dare he go to the Lighthouse if he knows you're working with Batman?"
"Of course, because the lighthouse is probably an important location in his story." Greedy sorted out his thoughts and said, "Don't forget, the Joker chose to be born at the dock. He was the first person to rush to the lighthouse. He must have left something there."
"But he knows Batman is at the Beacon."
"Yes, he knows, but he can't just walk into the trap. If he dares to go, it means he has a way. That's why the agent left in a hurry. Batman is holding the Joker back, and he has to find out what the Joker's trump card is."
The Transcendent rubbed his temple and said, "I shouldn't have brought you together. Each of you has eight hundred minds. It gives me a headache."
Greedily looked towards the fire in the fireplace.
The situation in the corridor was on the verge of breaking out, and Bruce was instinctively startled when he saw that smiling face, which reminded him of the first time he met Jack, and the Joker's oppressive feeling was still so strong.
He then heard the Prime Universe Batman's voice behind him.
"You have committed a horrific crime here, clown, your crimes are too numerous to list..."
Bruce was just about to ask if it was the time to talk about this, but then he recalled the conversation between Greed and the others and felt that it was indeed the time to talk about this. This kind of topic could attract the Joker the most, and judgments about justice were also the most suitable for stalling time.
Bruce couldn't help but look at the main universe Batman. Wasn't this guy a little too calm? Do you remember that you were stabbed through the heart with a kitchen knife two minutes ago?
After listening to Greedy's analysis, Bruce could feel more and more that Batman was outrageous. He and the agent had only met a few times, and the entire communication time did not exceed half an hour. Then he was able to use the most appropriate way to convince the agent under everyone's noses, and the two reached a cooperation.
And Batman definitely didn't expect at first that the agent's way of cooperation was to stab him, but he understood it all in just a moment and cooperated perfectly.
The most unbelievable thing is that Batman almost arrogantly believes in his own judgment of a certain person, and firmly believes that the other person's reaction is the result of his efforts, rather than the other person not understanding or simply a coincidence.
Where does he get his confidence from?
The main universe Batman strangely felt a burning gaze falling on his back.
What's going on? Clark is here again?
Batman feels desperate about this world full of "Supermen". He needs the real Clark Kent, not a group of people who definitely shouldn't have such a vision and are pretending to be Clark to torture him.
Trying hard to ignore the real sight behind him, the main universe Batman focused on debating with the Joker, while Schiller had already reached the top floor of the lighthouse.
He rushed into the tool room while cursing as he walked, hoping that the Joker wouldn't be caught by him, otherwise Batman wouldn't be able to save him.
Schiller found a coil of rope in the tool room, went out into the corridor and looked out the window.
There was heavy snow outside the window again. A faint light appeared on the dock in the distance, indicating that a ship was returning.
