Chapter 3182: Detective is about to die (Thirty-three)
Everyone present frowned deeply.
"Who are you? Why did you lead us here?" The Pale Knight asked his questions.
But Schiller realized a very crucial thing, that is, they have names, but no one has ever said their own names. For example, Schiller's identity is called Rodolph, so what is greed called?
"Your last name is Siltek?" Schiller said to Greedy.
Greed nodded slowly.
"I didn't lie to you." Greedy shrugged and said, "I told you, I'm a rich second-generation, I'm not talented, my father is Sirtek."
Schiller really wanted to record this scene and send it to Anatoly.
The Pale Knight also reacted and said, "The Hunter activated the lighthouse to lure us over. He has seen through your trap!"
"Then you didn't go?" Greedy smiled and said, "Since you don't want to be his guest, then come to my place. Please come in."
Facing the black muzzle of a machine gun, no one could say no, and they could only walk into the safe gate under the guidance of greed.
Schiller sighed in his heart. When he saw the first rich man in the script, he should have thought of the "rich second generation" mentioned by greed.
But at this moment Schiller suddenly remembered that if the story of the Celtec Medical Insurance Company was made up by greed, then how could Batman have the same name as him?
Schiller thought of the letter.
If they didn't happen to come up with the same name, or it was simply impossible for it to be such a coincidence, then one person must have come up with it and the other person performed it together.
Greed can directly open the door here and mobilize the machine guns here. If he was acting in a coordinated manner, he should not be able to do all this, so this story was made up by him.
Schiller also felt that this was in line with his style. Batman would not create such an unforgivable organization, even as a villain.
Then Batman is the one who knows the story and cooperates with the performance. Greed arrives early and kills people and controls others. So what does Batman do by arriving early?
Schiller suspected that Batman got to know this story from somewhere after his arrival, so he left the letter with important information and hid it in the lighthouse for them to find, so that he could tell everyone the clues he had investigated in advance.
Schiller wondered where Batman found out all this, because even if they came earlier, it wasn't much earlier, and investigating a conspiracy was not as simple as killing someone, it would take a long time.
After thinking about it, Schiller felt that there was only one possibility, which was related to Batman’s innate skills. His skill could control corpses, so could he also read the memories of corpses?
Hypothetically, Batman may have come across a very crucial body...could it be the detective?
Schiller had previously deduced that this detective, who was known for his all-powerful abilities, might have already investigated matters related to the Sirtek Company, and this might be the main reason why the greedy Sirtek killed people to silence them.
Greedy seized the initiative and killed the witnesses as quickly as possible, leaving no secrets for the players to wait for their arrival. However, he did not expect that the innate skill of Batman in the main universe was to dig out secrets from the dead.
But that's not right. Greed obviously didn't kill the person in the cabin, so why did he have to bring the body to the cabin? There would be no risk if he threw the body far away.
There wouldn't be the situation now where everyone is brought here, except for the main universe Batman who poses the greatest threat.
Schiller suddenly thought of the uncomfortable feeling he had when he first saw the corpse, as if he had been punched in the brain.
This effect of reducing mental health value was obviously determined by the system and should not be caused by greed. Although it is possible that the system is showing the effect of reduced mental health value, it must be because there is something strange about the corpse that gave him this opportunity.
"Doget's corpse is the Prowler." Greed suddenly said, "You looked directly at the monster, and of course you were hit hard."
Schiller looked up at him. Greed kept leading them inside. The light in the corridor was dim. After turning a few corners, a door appeared in front of them.
"You must be curious about what the secret of fish is. You will find out soon."
After saying that, he opened the door. After Schiller walked into the room, the first thing he saw was a huge cylindrical aquarium placed in the spacious room.
The aquarium is full of fish.
What was even more shocking was that there was a corpse in the center of the aquarium. It was the first corpse they saw in the cabin, Doggett, who was chopped apart by greed.
The fish were frantically tearing the flesh off Doggett's body.
This reminded Schiller of what Greed had just said: "Doget is the prowler."
"You are feeding monsters to fish?!!!" The Pale Knight shouted, "Are you crazy?!"
Greed walked to the chair next to him, sat down, turned around twice and said, "I'm not crazy, and Madeline didn't lie to you. There are indeed horrible monsters in this world, and they are invisible and intangible, but they have limitations."
All of the people present were smart people, and Bruce immediately thought, "You restrained the monster?!"
"Yes, but it's a little troublesome to say this. Anyone of you can shoot me." Greedy, who was sitting on the chair, opened his arms.
The next second, Schiller pulled out the gun from Night Owl's waist.
"Bang!" A bullet shot into Greedy's shoulder.
"You're so rude!" Greedy said with a grin.
"You deserve it." The Pale Knight commented, "If we didn't need you to explain the truth, we should have shot you in the head."
"The battle begins..."
Schiller now understood that the system seemed to have a way of determining whether they were really fighting, which could be based on the threat or the real damage caused. In other words, as long as there was a great possibility of causing real damage to the player, it could be considered a fight. However, fake fights without any harm would not work, so greed would require a first shot.
Once in battle, time stops and they are no longer restricted by role-playing and can speak freely.
"When I first came in, I chased after the Transcendent to ask about the introduction in the film." Greedy said in a relaxed tone, "I have participated in a similar game and am very familiar with the rules. I only care about the world setting and the plot."
"During the conversation, any question I asked was reasonable, so he told me some things about monsters. They were basically the same as what was in Madeline's notes. Of course, I added the rule that monsters cannot be attacked with firearms."
"No wonder you used my gun to fight the monster." Night Owl said, and the others also remembered that the first person to use a firearm to attack the monster was Greedy. The reason why he dared to do so was because he knew in his heart that it was not true.
"There are monsters in this world." Greedy held up a finger and said, "But there are also humans in this world."
"Then considering the strength of monsters and humans, it is impossible for humans to survive. I raised this question, and the Transcendent naturally told me that monsters have limitations."
"I continued to ask about the abilities and limitations of monsters, but he refused to tell me. So I could only tell him that if he didn't tell me, it would be my turn to tell me. The Transcendent had no objection."
"If he knew what you were going to say, he might not be so calm," Schiller said very pertinently, "he would just shut you up."
"But he didn't. He missed this precious opportunity." Schiller laughed and leaned on the armrest of his chair. "So in my background story, my father, old Siltk, devoted his life to studying monsters and founded an insurance company that specializes in offering insurance for monster incidents."
"But he has no intention of paying, right?" The Pale Knight's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"If he pays, I won't be a rich second generation anymore." Greedy said very frankly. The Pale Knight looked at him as if he was looking at something dirty.
"Anyway, he made a lot of money from this, and I grew up under his influence, and I also developed a strong interest in monsters. I saw a very interesting and strange incident in the company's insurance files. It was the prowler that killed Madeline's family."
"Wait, didn't the Prowler appear in the opening credits?" Bruce frowned and said, "That should be a monster created by the Beyonder."
"Yes, but can't I add some additional settings for him? Even if his abilities and origins can't be changed, it would make sense to let him appear in front of the world a few more times, right?"
Schiller understood and said, "You didn't change the setting of the Prowler. You just used him to construct the story of Madeline's family."
"That's right." Greedy nodded and said, "And the key point I want to say is that I followed the clues of this case and found the restrictions of the Prowler, and used this restriction to capture him."
"Wait a minute." The Pale Knight interrupted, "The Transcendent actually told you such crucial information?"
"What do you mean by key information?"
"The Prowler's weakness."
"When did I say he told me?"
Schiller realized the difference in the words and said, "It's just making up the background story. You don't need to know the specific details, just say it happened."
"That's right." Greed nodded and said, "The restrictions that the Transcendent gave me are just to conform to basic logic. As I said just now, monsters are not invincible. They have limitations and weaknesses. Even ordinary people can survive if they master these limitations."
"So is it strange that I, a second-generation rich man with a rich family background and lots of free time, spent my entire life capturing a monster?"
The Pale Knight sighed, but Schiller was not surprised. He had realized before that the way to play the game is that the bolder you are, the more productive you are. Only those who dare to make up stories will win.
The logic of greed does make sense. Monsters have weaknesses, so they can indeed be dealt with and cannot be killed, but they can also be restricted.
Greed is the typical one that will shine if given a little sunshine. There is nothing it dares not do as long as it is possible.
The so-called insurance company that specialized in paying compensation for strange events and the story of Madeline's family were actually all preparations for capturing the Prowler.
His thoughts were never drawn into the line of thought introduced in the opening film. He did not regard the Prowler as a terrifying monster that could threaten them, but rather fundamentally regarded him as a pig that could be slaughtered.
"I also want to thank the introduction in the film for reminding me." Greedily smiled, his eyelashes glittering under the cold light of the instrument, revealing a kind of dreamy madness.
"If I ask the Beyonder directly what monsters there are, he won't tell me. But the opening introduction cannot be changed. It mentions the monster Wanderer, so this monster must exist. Since it exists and has weaknesses, it can be captured, right?"
Schiller sighed softly. Greed was indeed one of the resident personalities that controlled the body. He was indeed unique in his insight into details, ability to utilize clues, and crazy imagination.
"Well, you win, my creator." Schiller looked into his eyes and smiled.
But before Greed could speak, he added: "But things may not be as smooth as you thought? Otherwise, why isn't Batman here?"
Suddenly, the smug smile on Greedy's face became stiff.
Batman's natural enemy is greed
