Chapter 3168: Detective is about to die (XIX)
Batman is dying.
The wounds on Batman's body in the main universe have deteriorated to an irreparable point. His blood volume has reached the bottom, and the physical pain has also led to the deterioration of his mental health. His consciousness has begun to fade.
Few people would regard the fighting world as a simple game, because everything here is too real, including the pain and despair of death, even Batman is not immune to it.
Just at this moment, he felt a chill, the door of the room was opened, and Schiller and Greed came back.
Greedy threw the first aid kit to Bruce, while Schiller sorted out the supplies. He said to the others, "We took a look. The lighthouse has nine floors. There is a guard room on the first floor. The dog inside should have been killed by us. There is a man named Jeff on the second floor. Our supplies were found in the warehouse on the third floor..."
"I'm going to go check out the security room on the first floor. You can eat something to recover your strength. Once you're recovered, we can go upstairs and explore together."
"I'll go with you." The Pale Knight stood up and said, "I'm very interested in the man named Jeff you mentioned. Maybe I can find a way to convince him."
"I thought so too." Schiller nodded, and then he said: "How is your fighting ability? Can you protect yourself?"
"Okay." The Pale Knight nodded and said, "In order to maintain a good image, I have been working out all year round and have also learned a few fighting moves from my acquaintances and friends. I won't be a hindrance."
After Bruce got the first aid kit, he began to treat Batman, but this time the dice that fell in front of everyone's eyes was no longer red, but black with golden numbers on it.
No one knew what was going on, but the dice had already been thrown high up, and when it landed, it was a "1", undoubtedly a big failure.
With a "swish", the scalpel cut Bruce's palm and blood gushed out immediately. He gritted his teeth and had to bandage his palm first.
Schiller, who was about to leave, had to turn back with a frown. Bruce shook his head and said, "Although I am a medical student, I have no clinical experience and my luck is not very good."
"Mr. Policeman, you should also know some first aid, right?" Schiller turned his head to look at Night Owl. Night Owl walked over and squatted next to the main universe Batman, but his eyes were still on Bruce's palm.
Night Owl went over to check the wound of the main universe Batman, shook his head and said, "He's basically hopeless. I can only try to stabilize his condition, but it's hard for him to survive tonight."
Schiller frowned tightly, but he still said, "Don't give up, let's go outside and look for something more useful."
Then he walked towards the door again, but the main universe Batman, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said: "That Jeff... is not the keeper of the lighthouse... Be careful of him..."
"I will." Schiller withdrew his gaze and left the room with the Pale Knight.
Seeing the pile of hound corpses on the ground, the Pale Knight's pupils shrank slightly, but Schiller walked straight towards the door opposite.
When the hounds rushed out, the door was only open a little. Schiller opened the door directly, but what appeared inside the door was a man and the bodies of two hounds.
A tall and thin man, who looked to be around 50 years old, was shot in the chest and collapsed in the corner. There were two dogs beside him. One dog's head was blown up by a bullet, and the other one seemed to have been stabbed and died from excessive bleeding.
Schiller immediately walked over and saw "Beware of Jeff" written in blood on the wall behind the man.
Schiller stood there, and his mind roughly reconstructed the course of the crime. Someone knocked on the door, and without saying a word, he killed a dog first. When another dog pounced on him, he stabbed it, and then shot and killed the man.
Judging from the height and angle from which the man was shot, the other person should be about the same height as him.
Schiller found human tissue and fabric in the mouth of the dog that had been stabbed, and it appeared that the dog had bitten Jeff.
It gradually became clear that Jeff was an intruder. He killed the lighthouse keeper who was originally guarding here, but was bitten by a dog.
The Pale Knight also walked over to check what was in the dog's mouth, then shook his head and said, "If he was only bitten on the calf by this dog, then he definitely hasn't lost his ability to move."
Schiller immediately stood up and said, "Yes, but with such injuries, he couldn't survive under the siege of five hounds. This is the main reason why he couldn't leave the lighthouse."
"But after he met us, he knew that the dogs were dead, so he must be eager to leave the lighthouse now. But through the window, we can see that the outside is covered with snow, and he just learned from our conversation that the door of the underground cave has been opened..."
Schiller walked back with a gun in his hand while thinking that the information about the dead dogs and the underground cave was revealed out of greed. He knew that this might lead Jeff to the room where they were resting, because only there was an entrance to the underground cave. What did he want to do?
As Schiller and the Pale Knight walked through the hall, they heard a voice saying "The battle begins..." in their ears. However, the difference was that this time it was not the voice of the Transcendent, but a vague whisper that sounded creepy.
Sure enough, they saw that the door of the room had been opened and Jeff's tall figure was standing at the door. When he found someone coming from behind him, he retreated into the house as quickly as possible, leaving Schiller, who had already raised his shotgun, unable to aim.
Schiller had no choice but to put down his gun and walked to the door. He had just checked and found that the bullets in the body of the suspected lighthouse keeper were pistol bullets, which meant that Jeff should have a pistol.
He walked in and saw Jeff holding up his pistol with both hands, leaning against the wall with his back, and saying ferociously, "All of you get out of the way, let me get down!"
"Calm down." Greedy said next to him, "We shouldn't have any conflict. If you want to enter the underground cave, then go in. No one will stop you."
"Give me your supplies!" Jeff said viciously, "And your clothes, take off all your warm clothes and give them to me!"
"Then we shall have nothing to talk about," said Greed.
"You may take all the supplies with you." The Pale Knight came out from behind and said very rationally, "We are sure there is no means of transportation around here. If you want to leave the village on foot, you can't carry too much weight. We can give you some supplies to let you leave. Put down your gun first."
The black dice appeared in front of everyone again. Apparently, the Pale Knight activated the persuasion skill. However, the dice spun twice in the air and landed on the ground. It was another "1".
Jeff got excited instantly and said, "You bastards! I just want to survive!! Hurry up and give me the stuff, or I will shoot!!!"
"You'd better not do this." Bruce, who was still treating the main universe Batman, stood up and said, "One of us is possessed by the Prowler. You should know the consequences of attacking monsters with firearms."
"What?! You are possessed by the Prowler?!!" Jeff was obviously shocked. He tightened his hand holding the gun and obviously hesitated.
Taking advantage of his momentary shock, Schiller rushed forward, but at this moment the dice appeared, spun in the air, and landed on another "1".
boom!
The moment Schiller tried to grab the gun, the muzzle deflected and hit the wall, and the bullet reflected back and hit his shoulder. He groaned in pain, and the strength in his hand loosened, and he was thrown to the ground by Jeff.
Fortunately, Night Owl had been on guard at the side. The moment Schiller made his move, he took a step forward and kicked Jeff on the side of his knee. Jeff's legs went soft and he was pressed to the ground by Schiller.
Night Owl took over the job of suppressing him. After Schiller stood up, he took a deep breath and looked down at his shoulder.
The bullet was not shot directly, so it did not penetrate deeply, but the bullet still needed to be taken out. Schiller took a look at Bruce's hand, walked over, took the scalpel from another medical box, and prepared to take out the bullet himself.
"Tell us what's going on." Night Owl said in a deep voice. He twisted Jeff's arm and pressed him to the ground. Jeff wanted to curse something, but he exerted force on his hand and Jeff screamed.
Night Owl was not polite and directly put the gun to his head. The black muzzle of the gun was more intimidating than any language. Jeff swallowed and said, "Aren't you from the church? People from the church can't kill people casually!"
Schiller cut a wound on his shoulder and asked, "Did you kill the man on the first floor?"
"I didn't mean to kill him!" Jeff yelled, "He let the dog bite me, I was just fighting back!!"
"Who is he?"
"What does this have to do with you? You damned outsiders! You must have brought the curse..."
Schiller's eardrums were swollen from his yelling. This Jeff seemed to be on the verge of madness, and it was difficult to question him in a normal way, so Schiller looked at Bruce.
But it seemed that because Night Owl had completely suppressed Jeff, the battle was won, and the skill list appeared in front of Schiller again.
The situation is getting worse and worse. For some reason, the dice changed color, and no matter how I threw it, it was a big failure. This means that all future actions that require inspection will end up with nothing.
Moreover, the previous hallucination made him feel that the clairvoyance skill was very useful, so Schiller clicked on the first level of clairvoyance. Now he has the first level of document reading and the second level of clairvoyance.
The third skill point brought by this third battle means that someone can finally max out a skill.
Schiller did not choose to do so because he did not know whether the third-level skills would be a qualitative change. If the improvement was not much, it would be more cost-effective to have a few more skills.
But just as he was looking at Bruce, wanting Bruce to use his psychoanalytic skills to analyze Jeff, Bruce suddenly let out a scream.
Schiller was slightly stunned. He remembered what the Transcendent had said before, that the so-called psychoanalytic skills were actually just a direct copy of his talent.
But Schiller's talent is not entirely a talent. It is actually a hallucination caused by a pathological state. If Bruce obtains this talent, it means that he can also see those hallucinations.
Sure enough, Bruce stood up with his eyes covered and a dazed look on his face. His eyes were completely unfocused, as if he could not see anything. Everyone's attention was attracted by his movements.
