Chapter 3160: Detective is about to die (XI)
"By the way, we should be considered the winner of the last battle, right?" Schiller said to the Transcendent in his mind, "After all, Madeline has been burned to ashes. Do you still expect her to have a chance to turn the tables?"
The Transcendent seemed to have just remembered it, and he said, "Oh, by the way, I got some more skill points, so I can choose skills again."
The skill list appeared in front of Schiller again. This time he didn't plan to click on the document reading because he found that the people here also spoke English. He didn't know at what level he would have to reach to encounter those obscure documents, so there was no point in clicking on another level.
He saw a magical skill called "clairvoyance". He asked the Transcendent what this skill was used for. The Transcendent did not explain it very clearly, but just gave an example.
"Did you see the wind blade that the monster hit the wall with earlier?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"The clairvoyance can see into these invisible things."
"Can you see the monster itself?"
"If you reach the highest level, it may be possible." The Transcendent said, "But this thing cannot make you immune to the mental damage caused by looking directly at invisible things."
"It doesn't matter. I have the skills to restore my mental health anyway."
“Are you sure you want to order?”
After Schiller confirmed it, he had level one clairvoyance. He found that this was also an active skill, but the cooldown time was about 10 minutes, which meant that it could be used outside of combat.
"Can I see who's possessed through this thing?"
"Perhaps, but I don't think your mental health is up to it."
"It's better if I can't bear it." Schiller said: "I am a little uncomfortable with my health now. I am eager to get back to my original state."
"You are a lunatic," commented the Transcendent.
"That's nothing." Schiller said, "If the Wanderer possesses me, I will make one of my teammates into a great work of art, and then commit suicide, leaving him to complete my last wish. I want to see how powerful this Wanderer is."
The Transcendent couldn't help but curse.
Schiller ignored him and activated his clairvoyance skill.
In an instant, the world changed. Everything became shaky and hazy, but Schiller suddenly calmed down and looked at his teammates.
Others suddenly saw that Schiller bent his body and screamed, covering his eyes, and blood flowed through his fingers.
Everyone immediately took up fighting stances.
"Wait a minute." The Beyonder suddenly said in the main universe Batman's mind: "Why is he in a fighting posture? He is your teammate, shouldn't you go and help him?"
"Then why don't you help?"
"I'm not with you..."
"Would you help me if you were here?"
The Transcendent shut up.
Schiller knelt on the snow for a long time and took several deep breaths. After he recovered, he did not stand up in a hurry. Instead, he wiped the blood off his face with animal skin. He blinked his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it did not affect his vision.
"What's wrong?" asked the main universe Batman.
"Nothing, I'm just trying out a new skill." Schiller stood up, patted the snow off his trouser legs, and raised his head to loosen his Roman collar a little more.
"What skill did you choose?" Greedy asked.
"Clairvoyance," Schiller said truthfully. He then explained, "I want to try to see if I can directly tell who the monster is possessed by."
"Then did you see it?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "I guess I just don't have enough inspiration to see any clues."
The main universe Batman narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered the feeling of being hit hard when he first saw the detective's body. If Schiller didn't see anything, why were his eyes bleeding?
The main universe Batman believes that Schiller has sufficient reasons to conceal the truth. The monster is in himself, in his other self, and in Bruce. He may not tell anyone about it.
"What should we do next?" Ye Xiao was the only one among everyone who seemed a little impatient. He probably didn't expect the pace of this game to be so slow.
But in fact, the pace of the game is not slow, but under the leadership of the two Schillers, the process of the game has turned into a dead end.
Under normal circumstances, Madeline's death and the Prowler possessing the player are almost inevitable.
However, players can use curtains, carpets and firewood to make torches for warmth, take the survival supplies found in the house, cross the vast snowfield, rush to the village as soon as possible, and find a way to remove the possession.
There is a wilderness survival expert in the team who can help them preserve the fire. They also have to share limited supplies during the long journey, and may even encounter other dangers. They must unite and cooperate to reach the next mission point.
But Schiller burned down the house, and all the supplies were gone. And now the fire was burning fiercely, and they had no plans to get some branches to make torches or anything, so they just stood there and watched.
Once the fire went out, without any warming measures, they would not be able to survive the night on the snow and everyone would freeze to death.
But they didn't seem to care.
"Don't be impatient." Schiller looked at Night Owl and said, "There are only two kinds of living things here, humans and monsters. If humans are not impatient, then the monsters should be impatient."
Schiller sat down on the steps in front of the house, and Greed followed him. The fire in the house was still burning fiercely, and the heat was still coming out. Schiller lowered his head and studied the animal skin in his hand.
The main universe Batman, the two Jokers and Bruce were standing a little further away, and Night Owl finally became a little impatient.
"How long are we going to wait here? Even if we don't leave for the village today, we should at least make some preparations, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Bruce. Bruce had been in a daze. He had not been paying attention since he clicked on the skill.
Schiller felt that he must have clicked on the second level of psychoanalysis.
Schiller didn't know what effect the second-level psychoanalysis had, but there were only three levels of skills, and the second level should have been a great improvement.
It would be great if his level 2 psychoanalysis skills could give him some of the correct answers.
When the sun set, the fire in the house was finally going out. The whole house had completely collapsed, and the entire wooden structure collapsed, turning into a pile of black firewood, still emitting thick smoke.
The good news is that the snow has finally stopped.
I don't know if the Transcendent was fed up with waiting here, but the heavy snow that had been falling for several days suddenly stopped, and the white clouds dispersed, revealing the blue sky, which made the snow look cold, and the sunlight shining on the body was not warm at all.
Schiller stood up, and the main universe Batman also walked to the ruins of the house. After the wooden structure was burned clean, the remaining debris was mostly strange in shape, including fragments of the kitchen's metal structure, black hills formed by melted chemical fiber products, and a faintly visible stone fireplace.
The main universe Batman picked up a metal railing that was not burned and used it to turn over the wreckage.
Schiller also walked to the ruins and searched for something. The Pale Knight stood beside and looked at the two people. He knew that they were waiting here not to delay time, but because they really had something to do.
"Is there?" Schiller turned to look at the main universe Batman and said.
The main universe Batman stared at the ground, and Schiller's gaze fell on where he was looking, where there was a charred mark, which seemed to be left after some biological product was burned.
Schiller walked over, wrapped a piece of burnt wood next to him with animal skin, and then scratched the place a few times with the wood.
A hole appeared.
A cellar door to be exact.
Schiller looked up at the surrounding environment and quickly determined that this should be the location where the carpet was originally located. The carpet was burned, and the wooden floor was also burned, revealing the door.
The door was covered with a thin layer of soil, which was burned into blocks by the fire. If the Batman from the main universe had not observed it, people would probably have fallen down while walking on it.
This new discovery attracted everyone. Night Owl looked at Schiller in surprise and said, "Did you know there was something strange about this house?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "I am more suspicious of the owner of the diary."
"What do you mean?"
"There was a wanderer in the village, and he asked his friend to solve the problem of the wanderer. So why didn't the two of them go to the village, but his friend came here to find him?"
Night Owl fell into thought.
This is not Schiller's hindsight. When they were discussing a series of questions about monsters, they deliberately avoided one person, that is, the owner of the diary.
Assuming that the owner of the diary is the corpse in the kitchen, his death is undoubtedly problematic.
The detective is possessed, the detective dies, the monster brings the detective to him, the monster possesses him, the monster takes him to the creek to fish, he returns to the house, the monster possesses Madeline, and Madeline commits suicide.
Judging from the order in which the three people died, there is nothing wrong with this, but as Schiller said, the fact that the detective came here to look for him is problematic in itself.
He mentioned in his diary that when the Wanderer incident just broke out, a villager came to him. He followed the villager to the village and later witnessed a tragedy in which a person went crazy after drinking mutton soup.
If he wanted to stop the prowler incident, then when the detective came, they should not have agreed to meet at their home, but should have met in the village so that the investigation could be started immediately.
Assuming that the village has become extremely dangerous and it is difficult for living people to survive there, the owner of the diary will definitely tell his detective friend not to go to the village, but to come directly to his house, and then the detective will not be possessed.
These two locations are not just one or two miles apart, but very far apart. In the case of heavy snow blocking the mountains, modern means of transportation cannot be used and the only way is to walk. Under such climatic conditions, it is normal to walk for a whole day, and the whole journey is very unsafe. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, anyone with a little bit of brains would not waste time like this.
There must be something wrong between the detective and the owner of the diary.
Schiller was more inclined to the latter, because it was the owner of the diary who invited the detective here, but no one knew how he invited him or what he wrote in the invitation letter.
The reason for the detective's course of action was most likely due to a change in the owner of the diary.
For example, the two of them made an appointment to meet in the village, but when the time came, the owner of the diary did not show up on time. The detective waited for a long time in vain and had to take the risk to go to the diary owner's house to find him.
If that was the case, why didn't the owner of the diary meet up in the village on time?
