Chapter 3227: The Shadow of Faraines (Twenty-four)
Schiller and Batman went up to the third floor, which was much larger than the two floors below. The key point was that the captain's room and the captain's private warehouse were also on this floor.
As soon as he arrived at this floor, Batman discovered a series of footprints. The intruder who came in with them should have been heading for this floor.
As soon as they came out of the stairs, they heard a noise in front of them and a fight broke out.
Batman and Schiller did the same thing at the same time, which was to lower their bodies, walk lightly, quickly come to the corner of the passage, and stick their heads out to look outside.
A black man was fighting a deep diver.
Batman pulled his head back, looked at Schiller and said, "This guy is from the church, your counterpart."
Schiller could see more clearly than him because he was wearing night vision goggles. The black man was wearing clothes similar to his and he was obviously from the Inquisition. However, the patterns on his body were not as dense as his, so he should not be a member of the Royal Guard.
"What do you mean?" Batman looked at Schiller and asked.
"I'll figure it out," Schiller said. "A head-on confrontation is not an option. He's obviously capable."
Schiller was not talking nonsense, he could see everything clearly with his night vision goggles. The guy was also wearing a cross necklace around his neck. The Deep Diver seemed to be a little afraid of that thing, otherwise he wouldn't have fought so hard with a human who was less than 1 meters tall.
Moreover, the Bible in the black man's hand was not simple either. The deep diver didn't dare to touch it at all. The other party stretched out his hand holding the Bible, and the expression of disgust on the ugly fish face was almost overflowing.
This guy definitely came prepared.
But unfortunately, at this moment a deep diver rushed out from behind him with a trident in his hand, and he was attacked from both sides.
Schiller rolled out, first holding the gun barrel with the hand engraved with the old mark until he felt the barrel begin to heat up slightly, then he aimed at the head of the deep diver behind the opponent and fired a shot.
boom!
The bullet hit the opponent's head, but it didn't just make a hole, it exploded directly, and the deep diver's brains splattered all over the black man's face.
The other party was stunned, but was obviously well-trained. He immediately rolled to one side and turned around to see the trident of the dead deep diver dropped on the ground.
As if he thought that it was a long weapon that might be of some use, he reached out to grab it.
Schiller's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly shouted, "Stop!!"
"Well--!!!!"
The moment the black man's hand touched the trident, he immediately let out a scream, and the part of his skin that touched the trident began to fester rapidly.
Batman thought something was wrong and rushed out. He kicked the tail of the trident, sending it flying far away, and then kicked the Deep One in front of him in the abdomen.
His strength was obviously not low either. He kicked the Deep Diver so hard that he staggered. Schiller picked up the crowbar with the hand with the old mark and smashed it on the Deep Diver's head.
Bang! Bang!
After three strength judgments, two were successful and one failed, and the Deep Diver was successfully knocked to the ground.
The black man seemed frightened, and Schiller turned on the flashlight, not to see him clearly, but to let him see his clothes clearly.
"Where did you come from, you fool? Are interns now being used in the courts to carry out missions?!"
The black man was stunned by the scolding. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he saw Schiller's priest robe embroidered with gold patterns, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were choked back.
"You...you are from the Royal Guard?"
Schiller seemed not to want to waste time talking to him, and inserted a crowbar into the Deep Diver's lungs, releasing all the oxygen inside. Although the other one had his head blown up, he did the same to prevent them from resurrecting.
The black man had a complicated look on his face. He said, "You are indeed from the Royal Guards. Did His Holiness the Pope send you here? Does the great prophet Gad know?"
Schiller immediately grasped the key to his words. The name Gad seemed familiar. Was he one of the three wise men who founded the church?
Schiller acted as if he didn't want to talk to him any more. He quickly killed the two Deep Divers and tilted his head towards Batman. Batman dragged the two bodies to the utility room next to him.
Schiller shook off the blood on the crowbar, looked at the black man and said, "What the Pope wants to do has nothing to do with your master. For the sake of my colleagues, I can let you go. You'd better get as far away as possible."
Anger burned in the black man's eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "This is no longer the era when the Royal Guards can be so arrogant! The Great Prophet's men will be here soon, and then you'll be finished!"
Schiller didn't even look at him and walked towards the captain's room at the other end of the corridor.
"Wait! You can't go over there!" The black man hurriedly chased after him and wanted to take action but was afraid to do so. He had a cut on his shoulder and could not lift one of his arms.
Schiller walked to the door of the captain's room. The door was locked. The shape of the lock was very special. It was in the shape of a small octopus with its tentacles folded up. It was like the words "I am a cultist" were written on his face.
Schiller stood in front of the door, turned around, and raised his gun.
The black man immediately raised his hands, but he still frowned and said, "Why are you so stubborn? The Pope doesn't have many days left to live. The Great Prophet is the one we should follow. He is the beacon for those returning home and the guiding light for us. He will bring true happiness to this world..."
"If he can't come to me now, you're dead." Schiller was not disturbed by him at all. He said, "You and I are here for the same purpose. I am willing to let you go. It is already merciful enough."
"You can't open that door!" The black man said aggressively, "Only the Great Prophet can move the things inside! Otherwise, you and the Pope will die ugly!"
Schiller laughed disdainfully and said, "So you are his guide dog?"
"You!" The black man took a deep breath and said, "Aren't you here to find something for the Pope as well?"
Looking at the black muzzle of Schiller's gun, he stepped back a few steps and said bitterly: "Anyway, only the Great Prophet can open this door. You just stay here and wait for our people to come. They will make you look bad."
After saying that, he ran away.
Batman came back after dealing with the body and looked at his back. Schiller shook his head and said, "He is just a useless pawn. There is no need to waste time on him."
Batman didn't argue, he just said, "There's really no need to interrogate him, because I roughly know what's going on."
"Tell me."
"This isn't a good place to flirt, can you open this door?"
Schiller looked down at the lock that was obviously not right, and said to the Transcendent: "If I want to open this lock, what test do I need to pass?"
"Cthulhu Mythos." The Transcendent replied.
This was not beyond Schiller's expectations. If the water god Ketayat first appeared on this ship, it would be strange if there were no cultists on the ship. It might be this captain.
"Do you think there's a high chance that I'll pass the test?"
"It's not a matter of probability, it's simply impossible." The Transcendent said: "Even if you can pass the test, your mental health value won't be able to sustain it."
"so smart?"
"Can I say that this is actually the original location of the final boss?" The Transcendent could not help but say, "The book in your hand is the fucking final boss I designed!"
"Oh?"
Schiller looked down at the Book of the Water God in his hand. The book had been very quiet since it came into his hands, and did not show any problems, but this was most likely because it was in his hands.
But it does make sense if this is the final BOSS, and if they hadn't been jumping levels randomly and killing each other, they would have come to explore the ship, and in order to be fully prepared, they would have to read the book.
Whether from the deck or the bottom floor, you have to go through a series of battles and explorations and finally arrive at the door of the captain's room.
I thought the final BOSS would be the captain, but it turned out to be the book that had been providing them with clues. This reversal is quite interesting. The book "Water God Ktayat" is high enough to be the final BOSS.
"Then why did you change your mind?" Schiller asked curiously.
"Have you discovered something?" The Transcendent's tone was somewhat gnashing of teeth.
"what's up?"
“Did your journey here go a little too smoothly?”
"Isn't that because we are cautious and strong?"
"Bullshit!" the Beyonder roared, "It's because that fucking psychopath Bruce was speeding in the village and used up half of the Deep Divers' oxygen! They all went back to recharge! Of course there are no monsters on the road!!"
"Uh..." This was a bit beyond Schiller's expectations, but when he thought about the charred tire tracks he saw on the street, it seemed like something Bruce would do.
"If there are fewer monsters, then there will be fewer people, right?" Schiller paused and said, "That shouldn't affect the BOSS battle, right?"
"It doesn't matter what!" The Transcendent raised his voice again and said, "You've already killed the BOSS, so where's the BOSS battle?!"
"Gone? How come it's gone?" Schiller didn't react for a moment.
After a while, he came to his senses. Oh, it was Naya who got rid of it, right?
At that time, he just asked Naya to give him mental protection, but once Naya made a move at this level, not to mention the soul of the cultist, even Ibo Zitel would be useless.
It is estimated that when Naya was setting up the defense, he crushed the soul of the cultist. After all, he said at the time that he would not let Schiller die so easily.
"Well... since there's nothing in the door, there's no need for this lock to exist, right?" Schiller asked tentatively.
The Transcendent snorted coldly and said, "The boss is gone, but the treasure chest is still inside. Without the clues in the book, you will never be able to open this door in your lifetime."
Schiller took a deep breath. This was really a bit troublesome.
I guess the process designed by the Transcendent is to let the book guide them to find clues to open the lock, then backstab them after opening it, and finally defeat the cultist possessed by the book, and then they can take the treasure chest and leave.
There should also be a cutscene later to introduce the ending of old Sirtek or something like that. Anyway, at this point in the plot, it is basically clear what the fate of the important supporting characters will be.
Old Sirtek was completely fooled by Jeff. If he summoned the disaster, he would definitely die a miserable death.
The church forged Pandora's Box, but greed made them open the real Pandora's Box. It was probably their own fault.
The ending will probably be when a salvage company discovers a new shipwreck, and this book is salvaged along with other things in the captain's room, foreshadowing the beginning of another horror story.
But because Schiller and his people did not follow the usual path, the situation became a little awkward.
The book didn't react, probably because it had been gone for a while. Without the evil spirit in the book to provide clues, they couldn't open the lock, and naturally they couldn't get the so-called treasure chest.
Schiller sighed and said, "Do I have to get the clearance treasure chest to clear the level?"
"That's not the case." The Transcendent said, "The story will change with your different choices. There is no predetermined ending. It is almost infinitely extended. It all depends on how far you can go."
Schiller understood that the Transcendent and the God of Stories were supposed to have designed an ending for this story, but they chose "or" in almost every "yes or no" choice, making the original ending completely unusable.
But the God of Story is still very capable. As long as the players continue to play, he will continue to make up stories.
Although the original final villain died, didn’t this also introduce new characters?
Schiller decided to meet the great prophet Gad first.
It's snowing! Woohoo!
