Chapter 3200: The Detective is about to die (Fifty-one)
"Calm down, Bruce." The Pale Knight said, "Now that the situation has come to this, we must make the most advantageous choice. I suggest saving Greed. The supplies and equipment in his laboratory are the most useful things we can find in this village. It is also a perfect shelter. With this, we can fight the Joker."
"No." Greedy said, "Old Sirtek is not dead yet, he just hid himself. As long as you find him, you can still enter the laboratory, but you can never deal with the Joker without Batman present."
His words made the situation, which had been somewhat clear, blurry again. The Pale Knight had no choice but to ask, "Where is old Sirtek?"
"To be honest, I don't know, but I think the Joker has gone to find him." Greedy's tone rose and fell. He said, "As long as we can catch old Sirtek, we will have the capital to compete with us."
"But it's not that easy." He added: "When I designed the story, I knew someone would try to take advantage of him, so I left some small surprises. If he dared to go, he would definitely suffer a big loss."
The Pale Knight was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively, "That Lady Siltek?"
"Yes, remember the weird incident that happened at the college graduation dance? That was the spirit captured by old Sirtek, and now it is in his wife's body. Once it is triggered, the clown will definitely die."
The Pale Knight felt a chill on his back. This guy must have calculated it long ago. When he heard the story of the Sirtek family, he naturally thought that the old Sirtek was still in charge of the family. So as long as he could find him, he might be able to obtain more abundant resources than his son.
But unexpectedly, Greed had already taken this into consideration when designing the story, and he placed a time bomb next to old Sirtek.
Monsters can indeed be restricted, but if you rashly contact them without knowing the specific restrictions, it is easy to release the monsters. They are all mortals, and if they encounter monsters head-on, the possibility of survival is too small.
"So the Siltek family captured two monsters?" The Pale Knight remembered that Greedy said he had captured a monster.
"I never said it had to be the Prowler," Greed said. "The Prowler was captured by me after the game started."
The Pale Knight slightly widened his eyes, and then he remembered that the water tank he saw in the laboratory contained Doggett's body. They first saw it in the cabin, and then it was transferred to the water tank. If the Wanderer was in this body, he should have been caught after the game started.
"How did you catch him?" he couldn't help asking.
"As soon as I landed, I saw someone running away." Greedy said helplessly, "It was Doggett and Madeline. They were being chased by the corpse possessed by the Prowler."
"The body in the kitchen?"
"Yes, they had already run over to the reeds by then."
"You saved them?"
"We stopped the body, cut off his limbs, and observed the monster's patterns."
"What is it?"
"Blood transmission means that it can only move in blood." Greed said, "And I happen to have a way to cut off a person's limbs and restrict their movements without contacting blood, so he failed to possess me, but was trapped in a corpse with severed limbs."
"Then how did it get to Doggett?"
"Because I met Batman, he can manipulate corpses, and corpses with hands and feet can better transfer monsters to the laboratory."
"You killed him for this?"
"Of course not. He just happened to be there."
"Then why didn't the Prowler in Doggett's body chase us?"
"Because he was restrained. Remember how Doggett died?"
The Pale Knight of course recalled the appearance of the corpse, and then he understood something and said, "The Prowler must have a certain amount of blood to move. You made Doggett lose a lot of blood in a short period of time, so he can't move?"
"It's still able to move. Didn't you just get hit?"
"…That's his method of attack?!"
"Otherwise, will I pounce on you and bite you?"
The Pale Knight suddenly realized that it would be more reasonable to use magic-like means to deal with this invisible monster. If it was a zombie siege, people might not be so helpless.
No wonder I haven't heard of humans using large-scale bombing to deal with monsters. This thing is very likely not a physical kill, but a direct attack on the human spirit, or a group attack. Anyone who looks at it will be hit.
The Pale Knight roughly figured out what was going on. In fact, Greed arrived early enough, and he happened to arrive the next second after the opening introduction, when the detective was being chased by the monster and was about to die.
His skill was Wind Blade, and he went straight up and chopped off the pursuer's limbs, rendering him unable to move. As a result, he accidentally discovered the monster's movement patterns.
Originally, he might not have thought of catching this monster, but then he met Batman, who had the skill to control corpses, so the two of them thought of replacing the Prowler's body, restraining him, and then using the skill to control corpses to seal up the Prowler's body.
The monster cannot be destroyed, but as long as it can be sealed, the crisis will basically be resolved.
"That fish..."
"Fish are not part of my story." Greedy said, lying on the ground with his eyes closed. "I guess it might belong to the clown. The Transcendent stitched it into my story, so I simply tried to see if there was anything special about this fish, but I found nothing so far."
This was completely beyond the White Knight's expectations. So those who ate the fish were not experimental subjects of the Siltec Medical Company, but there was another hidden story? Could this be related to the Joker's back-up plan?
The Joker has a back-up plan, Greed has a back-up plan, and Batman also has a back-up plan. It should have been a peak showdown, but now the scene is very embarrassing. It was originally a three-way confrontation, but now it is a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City.
"You'd better choose Batman." Greed said, "I'm not sure I can deal with the Joker."
"I'm sorry." Batman's voice came from the room. Schiller turned his head to look at him. He heard Batman say, "I swear I didn't mean to trick you. I was just curious, so I asked. If this offends you, I apologize."
"It's too late," Schiller said. "The 30 seconds have passed."
Batman said nothing more. Greed was so angry that he was fuming. Although he was already very weak, he still said: "He stabbed you and you apologized to him?! He ruined our plan to pieces!"
"Do you know why he apologized to me?"
Schiller's voice came from the darkness, and Greedy suddenly had a bad premonition. The next second, there was a bang, and Night Owl fell down.
The Pale Knight went over to check on Night Owl. He felt the airflow caused by Night Owl's movements, which meant that he wanted to hide. However, perhaps because he lost one arm, his balance was affected, so he did not dodge. The bullet did not hit his heart, but penetrated the lung from the side, directly causing hemothorax. Death was only a matter of time.
"I have four bullets left," Schiller said.
As the Pale Knight was checking on Night Owl, he saw a hand touch the Pale Knight's waist and take away the pistol.
"No! Bruce!" the Pale Knight shouted, "We can't keep killing each other like this!"
boom!
The bullets reflected a strange light in the dark. Two dice were thrown out at the same time, one to determine the shooting accuracy and the other to determine the probability of dodging.
Bruce pistol shooting, education 32＞25, the test was successful.
Schiller dodges, Agility 28>25, the check is successful.
Everyone was shocked.
The key point is not that Bruce fired the gun, but that Bruce's pistol shooting appraisal was actually education.
"Sorry." Bruce said, "I'm an agent too."
Greed closed his eyes peacefully.
But he was at peace a little too early.
boom!
Schiller pistol shooting, the key item is "night vision goggles", no test required.
Bruce dodged, Dexterity 30>25, the check was successful.
boom!
Bruce pistol shooting, education 29＞25, the test was successful.
Schiller dodges, Agility 26>25, the check is successful.
"Enough!" Batman shouted, "You are wasting resources meaninglessly! If the Joker finds this place, we will all die! Stop now!"
boom!
boom!
Another two rounds of checks were all successful, and neither of them could do anything to the other. Bruce was obviously too excited, and the Pale Knight wanted to stop him and was almost shot.
Just as Bruce was about to shoot again, the Pale Knight suddenly saw a dark shadow flash by on the side of the corridor.
"Bruce, be careful!"
Zheng!
The barrel of the pistol just blocked the sharp edge of the doorplate. Bruce dodged to the side, but was a step too late. The doorplate hit him on the shoulder. Although it was not as sharp as a kitchen knife, it was more powerful and Bruce felt dizzy immediately.
I don't know when Schiller had come over here. Even though there were two people here, he actually came over!
"Damn it!" Bruce cursed.
In fact, after the first shot was fired, the next round had already begun, and among all the people who fell, only Batman spoke, which meant that Bruce had made his choice.
He was not insane. In fact, he wanted to use the gunfight to confuse Schiller's vision so that Batman could quietly stand up and deal a fatal blow to Schiller.
No one can handle Batman's sneak attack.
But it was obvious that Batman had no intention of attacking Schiller at all. He even spoke out to remind Schiller that he had recovered.
"What a indecisive guy!" Bruce cursed in his heart.
Batman appeared on the other side of the corridor. He seemed unable to tolerate the current situation and said directly: "Schiller, killing the player does not count as real murder. It means that I can attack you without reservation. You'd better think it over carefully..."
"I have thought it through very clearly." After giving Bruce a slap, Schiller did not stay for long, but quickly retreated towards the stairs, and his figure quickly disappeared on the stairs leading upstairs.
Just as Bruce was about to say something, he heard another set of footsteps slowly approaching from downstairs, heavy and strange.
The light of the torch pierced through the steps one after another, illuminating a terrifying smiling face.
"clown……"
A bit late for the flight
