Chapter 2824: Demonic Restricted Area (Twenty)
Schiller read Martha's note, and there was a part at the end that recorded how she used the power of the evil god to transform two places.
These two locations were not chosen at random, they are both related to the mysterious underground ancient city. The midpoint of the line from Wayne Manor to Wayne Hotel is the location of the underground ancient city. In other words, the distance between these two buildings and the underground ancient city is the same.
As for why he did this, Schiller also found the answer in the second half of the plan - Martha wanted to change the time.
Martha's ambition was bigger than he thought. She didn't want to delay it for 20 years and then solve the problem after 20 years. She wanted to delay it for 20 years and let someone who found a solution after 20 years come and directly wipe out all the losses 20 years ago.
After becoming a follower of the evil god, she has the ability to influence the time nodes of a certain area of this separate universe, but not by direct control, but by replacing one thing with another.
The present timeline can be seen as 0, the past timeline can be seen as -1, and the future timeline is +1.
The sum of all time in all spaces on the present timeline must be 0, which means that it must always be in the present and cannot be anchored in the past or fixed in the future.
This is very normal, because for all linear time creatures, every minute and every second they spend is the present. The past and the future are not materialized for them, and they cannot touch them. Therefore, if the space of the past and the future is brought over, it will seriously violate the laws of the universe and cause serious consequences. The universe administrator is on guard against this, and Martha obviously has no ability to shake it.
But she has another way. If she just needs to add up to 0, then she only needs to make a section of -1 and then a section of +1, and the two of them will add up to 0. The same goes for a longer period of time.
In other words, no matter which hotel Schiller or Peter is in, it is not actually the present. The real present should be the day between the difference between the two hotels, except that the 0 has been replaced by -20 and +20.
The same is true for Wayne Manor now. After the success of the hotel, Wayne Manor was changed to -20 years and +20 years - this is the -20 years that Martha wanted.
As long as we use this law to anchor certain places 20 years ago, people in the future will have a way to enter this space and change certain things, thereby affecting things 20 years ago, so that the group of people 20 years ago can get a turnaround.
But according to Martha, there is also a problem, that is, time cannot be completely calibrated, which will eventually cause the two time points to get closer and closer, and then completely merge into one, so a turnaround must be obtained before the merger.
Schiller thought about the time when he and Peter compared the time and found that the zero hours of the two hotels differed by tens of seconds. This might be the calibration error that Martha mentioned, and it was also the culprit that ultimately caused the two time points to be infinitely close.
However, 20 years has a much greater margin for error. Martha mentioned in the letter that the four major families and Falcone all have their own arrangements, and they want to use the 20 years of inheritance to complete their plan to break the impasse.
All the scenes flashed through Schiller's mind, and he roughly knew what they were going to do.
He sighed in his heart, but still put away the letter and hurried downstairs. Alfred's head was indeed still. When he walked out of the back garden door, Schiller looked back at the old butler.
Schiller ran towards the big tree in the garden, found the entrance to the cellar as quickly as possible and jumped in, following the footprints to the meeting place. The first thing he saw was what Jerome was holding in his hand.
It was a shiny piece of metal.
There was still Alfred's blood and brains on it.
Schiller sighed, asked nothing, said nothing, he just said: "Let's go."
Jerome looked back at him, but in the end said nothing either. The team set out towards the ancient city in silence.
Schiller soon felt that time was changing. Apparently they were heading to a place 20 years ago, which was the end point planned by the Waynes and the four major families.
Jerome seemed to understand the map very well. He led the group around many turns and finally arrived at the gate of the ancient city.
When Schiller walked into the temple, he saw Peter soaking in a pool of psychedelic liquid. He sighed again, but still said nothing.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have to borrow your companion. I promise he won't die." Jerome smiled at Schiller.
At the first sight, Schiller discovered that he was the real clown. In fact, Schiller didn't need to discover it. Jerome took out a can of green liquid, and Schiller saw that it was the Dionysus factor. Only the clown could hold this thing unscathed.
They walked to the altar in front of the liquid pool. There were exactly five empty seats around the altar, and there were five different patterns painted on the table in different colors.
Jerome took the lead and placed the piece of metal he had dug out of Alfred's head on the golden pattern.
Jerome placed the green liquid in his hand on the green pattern.
A burgundy liquid flowed out of Cobert's blood-red leg. He put the liquid in a glass bottle and placed it on the burgundy pattern.
Finally, everyone looked at Schiller.
To be precise, he was looking at Gordon's head in Schiller's hand.
"The last of the metal is in my head," Gordon said. "Open my head and get that thing out."
"Let me guess. You are the backup plans of the four major families." Schiller looked at them and said, "In the past 20 years, each of you has been searching for a metal, and then piecing them together to summon the great dark existence."
At this point, the Jerome brothers did not intend to hide it. They nodded, but Schiller said, "Have you ever thought that this plan might have been tampered with? There is a traitor among you?"
"Impossible." Cobert said, "It is precisely because they are worried that there will be problems with the plan that they let the younger generation do it. We have never had direct contact with the evil god."
“But you are still contaminated.”
"We were contaminated on our own initiative." Jerome lifted the hem of his clothes. Inside the red wound were tiny granulations. He said, "This is cultivated and controllable pollution. In addition to improving our ability to survive, it can also prevent us from secondary contamination and help suppress the metals in our bodies. That stuff is not something that ordinary people can just take."
"Very good." Schiller commented, "Then why am I here?"
"We want to know too." Jerome stared at him and said, "You shouldn't have been a variable in the plan, but seeing as you are valuable, we didn't stop you."
"In fact, I received a distress signal," Schiller said. "A friend who trusted me told me to go to room 1905 of the hotel to find him. Guess who it was?"
"Bruce Wayne? He is also part of the plan. He is responsible for holding back the evil god. Although I don't know why, the evil god is very interested in him."
"So, he is the one who has the most dealings with the evil gods?"
"I guess so," Jerome replied.
"Since he is in the same group with you, there is no need for him to come to me for help. Since he did this, it proves that he no longer trusts you, which proves that there may be a traitor among you."
The atmosphere among the crowd stagnated, and Cobert spoke first: "Impossible, we have all confirmed it..."
"Who can guarantee the truth about the evil god?" Schiller sighed, put Gordon's head on the table and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I know much more than you do."
"The thing in James's head is not the fifth metal." Schiller said, "He fell into the trap of the evil god from the moment he received the mission. This is a complete scam. If you use the thing in his head to set up the magic circle, all your efforts will be wasted."
The other people looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't know who to believe. Schiller was indeed the only variable, but this strange man might also be a puppet of the evil god.
"We won't believe you." Cobert said, "That evil god is best at deceiving people and transforming into various forms to gain their trust. Our elders paid a huge price for this. My mother is still trapped in a crazy dream. I won't believe you."
"Then give my people back to me." Schiller didn't intend to talk to them any more. He walked towards the pool. The two Jerome brothers exchanged glances, and their faces showed ferocious expressions.
Peter lay quietly in the pool with his eyes closed, as if he was in a sweet dream. Schiller wanted to fish him out, but the two Jerome brothers rushed over and pulled him away.
"We can't kill him." Gordon suddenly said, "A stranger's blood might contaminate the pool, so let's not get involved."
"Your old problem has come back again." Jerome complained: "Well, that's it, let me open your head."
Schiller was knocked down, but he seemed to have no intention of standing up again. He sat down where he fell, but took out the alarm clock on his own.
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing is the fifth metal you want. It was left by Martha. She seemed to have guessed through some means who the evil god would tamper with, so she took precautions in advance. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Schiller threw the alarm clock directly over and it hit Jerome. Jerome caught it, but he didn't find anything unusual about the alarm clock. The metal used to make the alarm clock seemed to be the most ordinary metal.
On the contrary, the piece that Jerome dug out of Gordon's brain emitted a faint fluorescence, the same style as all the other metals.
They actually gathered together and started to study it.
Schiller really couldn't stand it anymore. He whispered: "I understand arrogance a little bit now."
Everyone looked at him. Schiller sighed again and said, "I really don't understand why your elders had 20 years to prepare, but didn't consider going to the UK to invite an expert to give guidance? Have you learned even a little bit of theoretical knowledge of the occult?"
Schiller complained, "It's really a group of people who dare to make plans, and a group of people who dare to execute them. Don't you think about whether there is even one magician among your elders? If there is none, where do you get the courage to deal with the evil god with your own imagination?"
"Have you figured out that magic is also a very rigorous thing? Over the years, a mature theory has been developed. It has its own set of rules and processes, and a very rigorous system."
"Even if these things are instinctive to the magic family, they are a strong knowledge barrier for ordinary people like you. You dare to do it without knowing anything. Even if you don't think about finding a school to study for 20 years, it will be strange if you can succeed."
"Go ahead, release whichever you want." Schiller waved his hand and said, "No matter which one you release, it won't work. You can release whichever one you want."
