The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Batman upstairs calculated that the time was almost up, and was about to end the meaningless argument with the Joker, but he saw a sly smile in the Joker's eyes.

Batman's heart sank, but he was actually prepared. Compared with Schiller, he knew the Joker better. The Joker dared to face him fearlessly, and he must have something to rely on.

Usually this situation only occurs when the Joker has successfully completed his big prank and Gotham is in danger. Batman wants to kill the culprit in front of him, and he has to save the city quickly and can't waste half a minute on him.

Although such a situation often occurs, this time the Joker miscalculated. Batman is indeed going to save the world, but there are many people here who don't want to let him go.

Batman turned to Bruce and said, "You watch this guy here, I'll go downstairs to see."

After saying that, he didn't even look at the Joker, and walked downstairs directly. The Joker turned to look at Batman, and the next second he was kicked in the butt. Bruce, who had endured for a long time, kicked the Joker down the stairs.

Batman stepped over the Joker lying on the ground. Before the Joker could get up, Bruce lifted him up from the ground. Bruce looked up at the Pale Knight and said, "Are you afraid of blood?"

The Pale Knight shook his head, then made a gesture of invitation, nodding his head elegantly as if he was attending a celebrity banquet.

"Where did you hide the electric shock device you made before?" Bruce's voice gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After going downstairs, Batman quickly guessed what Schiller had done from the water stains. Seeing the footprints spread to the door, Batman guessed that he should have gone to the village.

But Batman had a different idea from him. Since there might be a problem at the dock, he had to go to the dock. Even if there was something he couldn't deal with now, he had to know what it was.

So Batman also took his equipment and went out to the direction of the dock. It was not dark yet, and the heavy snow blocked his sight.

Batman found something wrong as soon as he approached the dock. Normally, there would be no fog on snowy days, but it was particularly humid here, and the thick fog limited his field of vision to only about two meters.

Batman first hid in a small house near the dock and looked at the situation outside through the window. He just found some water stains on the ground, but they were obviously not human footprints, but more like some creatures with webbed feet.

Batman had seen the Book of the Dead from Pride, and had a certain understanding of the Cthulhu mythology system. He immediately connected the abundant fish in the underground river with the current clues.

Legend has it that a huge half-man, half-fish monster named Dagon lives deep in the sea. Legend has it that people who believe in Dagon can catch abundant fish.

Batman had noticed before that there were abnormally many fish in the underground river. It was not the number of naturally generated fish in a river. It was said that this was the team boss, Sirtek, who ordered people to go out to sea to salvage.

Is the Sirtek family a believer of Dagon?

This point is not mentioned in the background story of Greed, but Batman also knows that if the Transcendence wants to connect all the background stories together, it will inevitably expand on some details.

Perhaps Old Siltek really had such an experience, so he wanted to do something, and the Joker might have been hired by him to do all this.

When Batman was thinking, he heard a rustling sound, and he hurriedly lowered his body and held his breath.

He had previously clicked on the listening skill, and now chose to activate the skill, listening 23\u003e15, and the skill check was successful.

But Batman felt that his brain was hit by a punch. Although his firm willpower prevented him from making a sound, the dizziness did not ease.

He heard a whisper, he remembered the syllables, but could not understand the meaning. He felt that he might not have the relevant skills, and he might try to decipher it when he met Schiller later.

But at this moment, he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer.

Could these monsters locate people by breathing? Batman felt a bit troubled. His current ability should not be enough to deal with these monsters. The Joker was really good at making such big troubles.

Suddenly, a pair of swollen, protruding, turbid eyeballs appeared on the window of the house where he was squatting. The eyeballs turned and then stared down at the corner where Batman was hiding.

Batman was looking up at this time. The moment he saw those eyes, his brain buzzed. He felt that his brain was about to be shaken evenly, and he was almost completely unable to resist.

With a swish, a wet and dirty trident inserted through the window and directly into Batman's shoulder blade. Batman couldn't dodge in time, and bright red blood flowed down his shoulder.

He knew it was not good the moment he smelled the blood. Sure enough, the door was knocked open the next second, and a terrible black shadow rushed in.

Batman had learned to be smart. He no longer looked up to see anything, but looked at the other party's shadow. From the shape of the shadow, it can be judged that this is a hunchbacked monster with a fish head and scales on its back.

The sticky, wet and foul smell rushed into his nasal cavity. Batman felt that his mental health value was still declining. He half-knelt on the ground and covered his wound. The wound was abnormally painful. What made him feel worse was that the moist smell was invading his blood through the wound, which made his health value drop rapidly.

With no other options, Batman rushed towards the door. His dexterity was 25 \u003c 50, so he failed the test.

Looking at the test value of 50, Batman knew that his chances of escaping were slim, but the monster in front of him didn't seem to intend to kill him, so Batman had to wait and see.

The trident blocked his way, and the monster grunted a few times, as if he thought Batman had no ability to resist. He took out a long chain, nailed it through Batman's shoulder, and dragged him out.

Batman pretended to faint, but he could still secretly open his eyes to see the situation on the road. He found that the dock was full of these monsters, and they seemed to be capturing humans.

He had to figure out where these things came from, otherwise the disaster would definitely spread out of control.

Schiller walked for more than an hour until it was almost dark before he reached the village. As expected, the village was so quiet that it seemed like there was no one there.

Schiller believed that if they had headed for the village at the beginning according to the normal process, they should still be able to find a few living people, but now it might be difficult.

It is known that when Greed landed, Doget and Madeline were being hunted down, and it was the Wanderer who was hunting them. So where were they before they fled to the cave?

If they were in the village, the best way would be to run out of the village, or at least to go to the dock to find a boat, and they chose to enter the underground cave, which proved that they could not run out of the village.

But it is more likely to prove that the Wanderer can move freely in the village, and the Wanderer can only move in blood, which means that the village should be full of blood.

Schiller followed a path into the village, climbed over half of the low stone wall and came to the backyard of a family, where some sundries were piled up and there was a dilapidated dog house. Schiller found the body of the dog on the side of the dog house, and the death was very miserable.

Pushing open the back door of the house, even after a long time, the strong smell of blood still did not dissipate, and the whole family was dead.

A perfect version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

According to the crime scene, it can be roughly judged that this family also killed each other. The youngest daughter should be possessed. She killed her mother who was cooking with a kitchen knife. The father wanted to stop it, but he was busy stopping his daughter. The wanderer had already moved to the mother and killed the father.

This family should have one person who ran away. Judging from the footprints, it should be a child. Sure enough, Schiller saw the body of a little boy not far from the front yard.

The streets were full of miserable corpses.

A monster that can move through blood is not something that ordinary people can fight. The more they want to kill the monster, the more blood they make, and the easier it is to be possessed.

Through the clues on the street, Schiller can see that a group of people have organized resistance. Schiller suspects that it should be Madeline and others.

Because Madeline is an expert in this field after all, and the detective is known to be very capable, he must have some ability in this regard, but their resistance eventually failed, so they had to escape.

However, Schiller felt that there should be more than just the two of them in the resistance organization. Since the wanderer was taken away by them, there might be other survivors left.

But it was difficult to deal with this group of people. After all, he was an outsider and a member of the church. It would be bad if they thought he was here to kill him.

Schiller pushed the door and walked into a house again. He found several more bodies, and there was nothing unusual.

Schiller checked one room after another. The village was actually not big. Even if he used the exhaustive method, he should be able to find some clues.

Finally, Schiller found fresh traces of activity in the store in the southeast of the village. Someone swept a wave of supplies in the store about an hour ago, which meant that there were indeed survivors.

But unfortunately, the heavy snow covered almost all the traces, and Schiller could not see where he came from and where he went.

Schiller speculated that these people should not be hiding on the ground, but may be hiding in a complex underground cave, coming out of a cave and coming to the store to get supplies.

In this case, he dared not go down rashly, because the other party was a local and was more familiar with the environment in the underground cave than he was. If he went down, he would be trapped.

There were so many houses here, he didn't believe that these people took away all the supplies. As long as they could find weapons, especially high-powered firearms, they would not be a threat.

Schiller thought there should be a gun store in this village, because the more remote the village, the more places where guns can be used, and there were also professions such as hunters in this village, so there should at least be a place to sell hunting supplies. If there were no guns, a high-powered compound bow would do.

Schiller also took some food from the store and returned to the street to search for a weapon store.

On the other side, Batman was thrown into a dark room. He found that there were still living people in the room, with wounds all over their bodies. They were all trembling and hiding in the corner, and some of them had begun to talk nonsense madly.

But Batman had no time to worry about them for the time being, because the wounds on his body began to worsen. Although the injuries were not serious, his current condition was worse than the previous times he was injured, and it was even more dangerous than when a kitchen knife was stabbed into his heart.

The key is that his clear mind, which he was most proud of, began to become chaotic. The syllables he memorized kept circling in his brain, cutting his mind into pieces.

Batman finally understood the Joker's sinister intentions.

No matter how serious the physical injury is, it is impossible to defeat Batman, but this kind of attack on the mind can directly disrupt his thinking. Once his mind has problems, he is only one step away from death.

Happy New Year!!! 2025 will definitely be very good to everyone!!
