Chapter 3178: Detective is about to die (Twenty-nine)

Just as Schiller was about to throw a second punch, his wrist was grabbed by Bruce. Bruce threw a backhand punch with his other hand, but Schiller dodged it.

Schiller broke free from Bruce's grip and was about to draw his knife when Night Owl raised the pistol in his hand and aimed at Schiller's head.

"If you move again I'm going to shoot." said Night Owl.

"I advise you not to do this." The Pale Knight suddenly said, "I have a way to make it so that your bullets cannot hit him. Do you want to try it?"

Schiller narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the Pale Knight was also ready to show his hand. He might have a protective talent skill, but it was hard to say until he actually displayed it. Perhaps his purpose was the same as his, to find out what skills the Night Owl had.

It can be seen from the Pale Knight's behavior that he looks down on Night Owl, the evil Batman. After all, he is a righteous clown, and his corresponding nemesis should be the evil Batman. I'm afraid the Pale Knight has long wanted to take action against Night Owl.

Although Night Owl is the evil Batman, he is also Batman. He can certainly understand why the Pale Knight said that. However, the initiative of this trial game is not in his hands, but in Schiller who holds the knife in his hand.

If Schiller attacks Bruce and Night Owl shoots, but the Pale Knight uses his innate skills to save Schiller, then Bruce will be the only one who will be in trouble.

The knife that just cut Greed's carotid artery is still vivid in his mind. Although Night Owl doesn't know that all Schillers are the same person, even if he regards them as isotopes from different universes, Schiller's attack is ruthless enough. Even the Joker, who is known for chaos and madness, may not stab him first when they meet.

"Don't be too greedy." Greedy said again: "Isn't the information you got enough?"

"It's an honor to let Greed tell me not to be too greedy." Schiller was not in a hurry at all. If he didn't take action, the rounds wouldn't be added. The time was always paused and nothing was delayed. He had plenty of time to play wits with them here.

Schiller knew that Greed could definitely see what he wanted, but this guy was too greedy and unwilling to give it to him. If there was no other way, he could only stab Bruce twice.

"Well, let's talk about Batman." Greedy finally gave in. He said, "I don't know what you saw in the last letter. I can only tell you that we are targeting him for a reason."

"You admit it?" Schiller smiled and said, "Then tell me what happened first."

Greed pursed his lips and said, "Everyone arrives here at different times. The first body you saw was killed by me, and the first crime scene was indeed not in that room."

Schiller thought of the body he saw when he opened his eyes, that is, the detective whose upper body was directly split in half. At that time, Schiller discovered that the cut on the upper body was so smooth that it was not something an ordinary person could do. If it was cut by a wind blade, then it would be normal.

But Schiller didn't ask Greed why he wanted to kill him, he just asked: "Who is that man?"

"His name is Doggett," Greedy said a name, and then he said, "I killed him in a forest on the way from the village to the cabin, and then the heavy snow covered all the blood and footprints."

"Is he the detective from the introduction?" the Pale Knight asked.

"To be honest, I don't know."

"You dare to kill someone without knowing it?!" The Pale Knight frowned and said, "What if he is a key figure in the plot?"

Greedy's expression was the same as always, without any embarrassment of being accused. He said, "If he was really a very important person, then he would not be killed by me. Since he is dead, it means that he is not that important."

"That's just a lie," said the Pale Knight.

"Okay, let me change my reason." Greedy continued, "I don't need to say more. You all know that we are the key figures in the plot, aren't we?"

Schiller understood what he meant. All the dead people were just NPCs in the game. It didn't mean that they had no human rights, but these characters controlled by the system were far less useful than players like them who could manipulate the system to change the story.

But Schiller felt that this was not the true intention of greed. In fact, the greedy worldview was very strange. He believed that everything in the world had a value for use. Killing and destruction was an extreme waste, and he hated doing so very much.

At the same time, he is not the kind of person who would kill people at will just because this is a fictional copy, because he feels that this copy is actually no different from Marvel's pocket universe, and all the creatures in it are real. He should fight for their unlimited development rights, and even if there are relatives or strangers, he will not kill innocent people unless it is necessary.

Schiller felt that Greed had two motives for killing Docet. The first was that he had been forced into a dead end by Docet and he had to fight back in self-defense. The other was that in Greed's view, Docet had to die, otherwise he would be in an extremely unfavorable situation.

This made Schiller think, these people made up stories without knowing what stories the other party had made up, how to deal with the overlaps and contradictions in the stories, and will the transcendents complete them themselves?

Schiller didn't think that the Transcendent had such ability, but after all, the shareholders of the Fighting World were very powerful. One of the most important characters was Loki, the God of Stories. Now 80% of the original copies in the Fighting World were written by him. Probably only he could make several stories that might contradict and conflict with each other round out.

Since there is a conflict, trade-offs must be made, and the Transcendent has indeed never guaranteed that the background story can be 100% realized.

Could it be that Greed learned from this man named Doggett that something had affected the people in the background story he made up, or was it that the existence of Doggett simply interfered with the realization of something in his background story?

Assuming that this Docter who was killed by Greed is the detective who is about to die in the opening introduction, what exactly does he know that makes Greed willing to kill him?

This intrigued Schiller.

Let's look at it from the beginning again. The owner of the diary invited the detective to the village. If the owner of the diary is the hunter played by Batman, and the invited detective was killed by the photographer played by Greed, then it proves that Greed and the background story of Batman in the main universe are both related and conflicting.

There are no clues about Greedy's backstory right now, but we already have some clues about the backstory of the main universe Batman.

It turns out it has something to do with the medical insurance company.

Greed said that he was a rich second-generation. The clothes he wore were indeed branded and his camera was also very expensive. Could it be that he set up his parents to be the giants of an insurance company?

It is known that Batman's purpose as the hunter is not to deal with the prowler, but to expose Sirtek, so the purpose of him calling the detective is not to investigate the weirdness.

Schiller immediately realized that the opening remarks were actually misleading. It first said that a prowler incident broke out in a village, and then said that a detective came to investigate the prowler. People would have a preconceived idea that this detective was here to investigate strange events.

But in fact, the appearance of the wanderer in this village is closely related to what Sirtek did to Madeline. He came to investigate the wanderer, not necessarily to investigate the weirdness, but also to investigate Madeline or Sirtek.

In other words, the detective might be the helper that Batman from the main universe asked to expose Siltek's conspiracy. No, it is more likely that the detective has already investigated more information outside the village, and this time he came to deliver intelligence to the hunter.

Schiller remembered that Jeff once mentioned that hunter Harold had a detective friend who was extremely capable. This description inevitably made people think that this guy was not an ordinary detective, so it was reasonable for him to get involved in such things.

Then the whole process might be that after Greedy entered the game, he met Docet, and used some method to learn from him what information the Docet brought. He felt that this information was not good for him, so he killed Docet first, and then tried to join forces with the Joker to kill the Hunter played by Batman.

It seems that Greed knew from the beginning that this was a game between two players. Schiller thought that he and Pride were still inexperienced in this kind of game, so they didn't see it at the beginning, giving Greed a chance to take advantage.

But Schiller felt that the Batman of the main universe should have been prepared in advance, and his plan to escape from serious injury was probably prepared long ago, and it even seemed like he was just waiting for the people in the team to take action.

All Schiller can say is that he is worthy of being Batman.

But there were still many doubts. Schiller thought about it and decided to start from the beginning. He asked, "What about the second body?"

He was referring to the guy who was originally thought to be the owner of the diary, who had lost his limbs and had a stomach full of fish.

"I didn't kill him," Greed said. "I found him hanging when I dragged the body into the hut."

The emphasis of "greedy" is on the verb "hang up". There is no doubt that he is implying that this guy was not killed by a monster, but by a human, because monsters will not find a hemp rope to hang people from the beams when they kill people.

Schiller had this question when he first saw the corpse, but at that time he didn't quite understand the nature of the monster. What if the monster could really hang a person from the beam after possessing him?

But if it was also a man-made disaster, who killed him?

Because he didn't know who this guy was, Schiller looked around and didn't speak easily. He was waiting for someone to provide more clues.

"He ate the fish." After being silent for a long time, Night Owl finally spoke.

At this time Schiller also reacted.

From the confirmed background story of Batman in the main universe, it can be inferred that Siltk raised those fish in order to hoard rare goods. To do this, he couldn't let too many people know about it. He couldn't just use a loudspeaker to advertise in the village that fish has a detoxifying effect.

Then the person who knows this matter may be someone like the hunter played by Batman, who was hired by Sirtek and knows the inside story.

Once such people feel that they have been affected by a strange force, they will definitely try to eat fish when they are desperate. Even if it may not be effective, it may not be a bad idea to take a gamble at this time.

If that guy was hired by Siltek, then the one with the greatest motivation to kill him is the main universe Batman, which can not only weaken Siltek's power in the village, but also prevent this guy from reporting the news.

But the biggest problem is that Batman doesn't kill people, not even in the game, and it's even more impossible for him to be tortured or have his limbs cut off before he dies.

Wait, Schiller suddenly thought, Batman does not kill people, but he will not stop others from killing people all the time.

Then there was only one person present who was related to Sirtek, and that was Madeline.
