Chapter 3171 The Detective is about to die (Twenty-two)
Schiller finished the food in his hand. He could feel his blood volume increasing, his mental health value also improved to a certain extent, and his vision was no longer so blurry.
However, Schiller felt that this kind of recovery might only be suitable for people whose injuries were not so serious. A seriously ill person like Batman in the main universe would probably not have the chance to eat anything.
The most pressing issue to be resolved now is not the life or death of Batman in the main universe, but the dice that suddenly changed color.
Before this, Schiller had basically summarized the rules for the appearance of dice. Generally speaking, actions that can be performed within the normal range of human beings do not require throwing dice.
For example, now when they eat, they don’t need to throw dice to determine whether they will succeed. When they walk, they don’t need to throw dice to determine how they walk.
Going a little deeper, for example, checking the thickness of the snow, although this is an action that normal humans can easily perform, whether you can draw clues from it depends on your personal ability.
Everyone can eat and walk, and it doesn't require intelligence to do so. However, to estimate how long the snow has been falling based on the thickness of the snow and the current snowfall, a certain level of intelligence is required, which naturally requires rolling the dice.
Then comes the most difficult one, such as bandaging Batman's wounds and treating him. In addition to professional medical skills, this also requires rolling dice, which is the most rigorous of all situations.
However, what made Schiller feel a little confused was that when so many people were fighting a swaying corpse, they had to use a turn-based system and roll dice when dodging. So why didn't he do that when fighting the dog?
Schiller felt that if it wasn't his problem, then it must be the dog's problem. Maybe hitting a person requires a test, but hitting a dog doesn't?
But Schiller felt that there was another possibility, that is, only when fighting something that is possessed by an abnormality do you need to enter the battle normally. Although this group of dogs may also be affected by strange things, there is nothing abnormal about their bodies and they do not look mutated, so they may not need to enter the battle.
But none of this matters now; the key point is that there is something wrong with the dice.
Schiller felt that although their luck could not be considered good, several consecutive failures were too bad. This was probably not a matter of luck, but someone had tampered with the dice.
Schiller remembered the house number 1913 that had fallen from mid-air. Schiller's memory bank was shared, so he naturally knew what happened to the bishop in the mysterious hotel. The house number looked exactly the same as the one in the hotel.
Since then, they have never heard the voice of the Transcendent again, and the color of the dice has changed from red to black and gold. When mentioning black and gold, it is easy to think of Naa.
But Schiller felt that was not right.
Although all the evidence now points to Naya, it is precisely because it is too obvious that he feels that this is a frame-up.
Schiller sorted out the known information in his mind, the most important of which was the skills of several people.
Because they were not allowed to say anything beyond the character's personality, words like skills were not allowed to be mentioned, so everyone just took the opportunity to get out of the way and did not communicate what abilities they had.
Skills are not quite the same as knowledge that matches one’s identity. For example, Schiller was a clergyman. He could explain the Bible to others, and others would think that what he said was right. This was not his skill, but the ability that came with his identity.
The same goes for Bruce, he can check the wounds of the main universe Batman, but this is because he is a medical student, not because his initial skill is healing.
Schiller's initial skill is soul-soothing, which means he can improve the mental health of himself or others. Apart from that, the specific skills of the other people are currently unclear.
Schiller suspected that Wind Blade might be Greedy's initial skill, because his identity really had no advantages, and the professional abilities attached to a photographer were too few, so it was normal that his skills were relatively strong.
But being able to release wind blades has little to do with the professional identity of a photographer, so Schiller thinks that Greedy’s profession is not a photographer, and of course he is not a rich second-generation. He may also be a magical character similar to a clergyman.
The Pale Knight said that his initial skill was Persuasion, but when he demonstrated the Persuasion skill, he had already obtained two skill points. Schiller had also seen skills similar to Persuasion in the skill list, so it is possible that it was a skill he selected later, rather than the initial skill.
Night Owl is a policeman. His presence is not strong at the moment and he has basically not revealed any skills. Bruce is a doctor and he said that his skill is medical treatment, and there is nothing to refute.
As for the Joker, he is a painter. Like a photographer, this identity itself does not give him any advantage. It is impossible for a monster to let you go just by drawing a picture for him, so his skills should be quite strong.
Speaking of painters, Schiller suddenly thought that the dice changed color, could it have something to do with the painter?
Schiller felt that if it was really Naya who was behind this, he would not be so high-profile, throwing door numbers and changing the dice to his own exclusive color. If such a cunning old man wanted to cheat people, he would definitely not make such a big fuss, but try his best to maintain the status quo and then deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Following this line of thought, Schiller suddenly understood something. The house number might have been made into the background story out of greed, specifically to frame Naya, and the dice might have been tampered with by the Joker.
Someone will definitely ask what Greedy wants to achieve by doing this. Under normal circumstances, Greedy knows Pride very well and naturally knows that he has not participated in the game many times and is not very familiar with the rules. The stories he makes up are definitely conservative, and he may not necessarily think of using a made-up background story to provide convenience for himself.
If Pride hadn't left, he might have been kept in the dark. At first, he would have thought that the anomaly was caused by monsters, but later, as things became more and more wrong, he would have thought that Naya might have participated in the game and was tripping them up. This kind of misleading information might have caused Pride to make serious misjudgments.
To put it bluntly, it is to bring bad luck to the arrogant.
And the Joker brings bad luck to Batman, and he doesn't need any more reasons.
But why is it so coincidental that the color scheme is black and gold? Schiller doesn't believe there are so many coincidences. Could it be that the two of them had discussed it beforehand?
If this is the clown's skill, it should not be to manipulate the dice at will, but to replace the dice with this bad luck dice that can only result in a big failure. As long as it is thrown, it will definitely be a big failure.
If we want the dice to change back, we have to let them suffer the consequences. Schiller thought for a moment and said, "There are dangerous reeds below the cave entrance, and it's snowing heavily outside. The only place we can find clues is inside the lighthouse. I plan to explore it again later. What do you think?"
"I'll go with you." Night Owl, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, but Schiller shook his head and said, "No, you're not in good condition, so you should stay and rest. Those who are in better condition can go with me."
With that he looked at Greed, the Joker, and the Pale Knight and said, "The doctor will have to stay here and tend to the wounded, how about you three come with me?"
And the three of them obviously had their own thoughts.
The Pale Knight nodded first and said, "No problem, but I'm not strong enough, and I don't have any professional skills. I hope I won't be a drag."
The clown thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine, but my health isn't very good and I'm very timid. If you run into any monster, don't blame me if I leave you behind and run away."
Greed shook his head and said, "I have already accompanied you once. I can't always take risks alone. Next time, you guys go. I will stay here to take care of the injured."
Schiller would not let him go, of course. He asked, "Aren't you a photographer? And you can take care of the wounded?"
"I'm not going to treat them. I'm just guarding this place. Don't forget, Jeff just rushed in here. If I go with you, there will only be one doctor and two patients here. What if there are more intruders?"
Schiller winked at Bruce, but unfortunately, Bruce couldn't see it at all. His eyes were really empty now.
"I'll go with you." Bruce suddenly said, "There's no cure for my condition right now. Going out for a walk might help my mental state."
Schiller was about to say something else when he saw Bruce winking at him. It was difficult for him to find the target in this situation.
But what does Bruce want to do? Schiller is a little confused. He doesn't believe that Bruce doesn't see that Greed has bad intentions. Is it really okay to leave Greed to stay with the dying main universe Batman?
At this moment, Schiller suddenly remembered that when they were avoiding the reeds, the three Batmen somehow ran at the end, which was impossible.
As mentioned before, actions like walking and running do not require throwing dice. The speed of running basically depends on the individual's athletic quality. The Batmans in this copy may not be that strong, but they definitely know what posture is the fastest and most energy-saving way to run. Logically, they should not fall behind.
The two clowns currently on the field are not very strong. They seem to be not good enough in terms of size and strength. The Batman in the main universe is a hunter. At least he can't be defeated by a painter and a lawyer, right?
Could it be that someone had tampered with it at that time?
Oh no, Schiller thought, Bruce might be in cahoots with Greed.
First of all, it is impossible for photographers, painters and doctors to come from the poor class. To achieve success in these fields, it is necessary to spend a lot of effort and money to cultivate them. They are people of the same class.
Greed, the Joker and Bruce, who are aware of their profession, would definitely take this into consideration when writing their background stories. They would not deliberately create a character who has struggled up from the bottom, but would make good use of their class advantages to add luster to their background stories.
In this case, the background stories of the three of them may overlap, and they may even have common interests. It is not impossible that they want to join forces to kill the hunter played by Batman in the main universe.
In this case, the lawyer played by the Pale Knight might also turn against them, because it is not easy to practice law in the United States. Most lawyers have good backgrounds and serve the upper class all their lives.
But after thinking about it, Schiller felt that this was not right. In addition to considering their professional identities, one also had to consider what kind of people they were.
Needless to say, Batman in the main universe, no matter how many people criticize him for not doing enough, he has always been doing it and trying his best to be a good hero.
He is a true hero, so he will naturally try his best to give himself a heroic background story, and the same goes for the Pale Knight.
The Pale Knight is a true hero who climbed up from the bottom. He has experienced the most desperate and crazy moments, but like a lightning that is as unstoppable as a bolt of lightning in the dark night, he has brought a ray of light to the city of sin.
When such a person compiles his or her own background story, he or she probably will not create the image of a lawyer who dares to do anything evil for money. Instead, he or she should be more inclined to create the image of a good lawyer who climbed up from the bottom but never changed his or her original intention and worked hard to uphold justice.
The Pale Knight was a target worth fighting for, but in just a moment, Schiller made his decision.
