Chapter 2811: Demonic Restricted Area (Part )
Schiller stared quietly at the phantom in the room. He knew that it was not happening now. The little Bruce in this universe, like other Batmans, lost both his parents when he was young. It was impossible for Martha Wayne to appear here.
Schiller actually thought about why Room 1905 was special. Now it seems that the time can be traced back not only to 20 days ago, but also to 20 years ago.
Martha in the room was wearing silk pajamas. She seemed to have just taken a shower and was applying skin care products. When she paced barefoot beside the bed and turned around, her face looked tired and sad.
When she turned around, Schiller discovered that Martha was pregnant.
It looks like it's about five or six months pregnant. Because Martha is thin, her belly looks particularly big. If things go as expected, it should be little Bruce in her belly.
Schiller searched through his memory bank during the stream, and he found that Bruce Jr. had mentioned before that his selection by NAIA was not that simple, and all the encounters were reunions after a long separation.
But why her?
Schiller did not see anything special about Martha. At least the woman in front of him was just an ordinary person and did not seem to have any connection with the world of occultism.
Schiller looked carefully again and found that Martha did not look very well. Schiller did not know much about obstetrics and gynecology, but he could see that Martha was listless and tired, and it seemed that this baby was not well taken care of.
But this is actually unlikely. The man she married was Thomas Wayne, and in the TV series "Gotham", Bruce Jr. is the couple's only son. How could Thomas allow his wife to get into trouble?
Schiller thought about it again and felt that it was not right for Martha to appear here. She was pregnant and looked unwell. Thomas might have asked Alfred to take good care of her, so why would he let her go to the Wayne Hotel alone?
Martha kept pacing in the room. The skin care products on her face had dried, but she kept applying them. Schiller observed obvious symptoms of anxiety, but could not analyze why she was anxious.
Martha came to the bed and sat down. Although it was just a fantasy, Jerome and Schiller still made room for her. Martha sat on the bed in a daze. Schiller suddenly noticed that there was an alarm clock on the bedside table.
This alarm clock is also an illusion, because the alarm clock in room 1905 is now here, but the alarm clock in this fantasy is exactly the same as the alarm clock in his hand, which is very likely what the alarm clock looked like in the past.
Martha picked up the alarm clock and started to adjust it. Schiller saw that the time on the alarm clock was a little after 8 o'clock in the evening, so Martha set the alarm clock to midnight.
Her expression was a little distracted, and she was fiddling with the alarm clock absent-mindedly. When she turned her head to the side, two strands of hair got caught in the gap of the alarm clock's battery compartment. This was the origin of the two strands of hair in Schiller's hand.
Martha set the alarm clock and went to bed. She slept very uneasily that night. She woke up frequently and looked towards the bed, but there was nothing there.
At 12 o'clock in the night, the alarm clock rang, but it was not the sound of the elevator, but just an ordinary alarm clock sound. Martha was suddenly awakened, and slowly turned over and sat up with some pain.
She walked towards the door.
Jerome and Schiller were both a little surprised. What was a pregnant woman doing running out of the hotel room in the middle of the night?
Unfortunately, the monster in the room seemed to be completely unable to affect the area outside the room, so Martha disappeared completely after leaving the room, and no one knew where she went.
Schiller had a vague premonition, but he couldn't be sure. At this moment, the door leading to the bedroom from the living room was opened, and Cobert walked out with an umbrella, covered in blood.
His expression was a little dazed, as if he was exhausted from overwork. Schiller seemed to have expected this situation. His eyes followed Cobert and saw that Cobert threw himself into a chair in the bedroom and then sat there stiffly.
Schiller and Jerome tacitly did not look into the living room. In fact, they did not need to look. Even an inexperienced person could roughly guess what happened in the living room from the blood on Cobert's body, let alone these two lunatics.
"You win." Cobert suddenly looked up at Schiller and said.
Jerome looked at Cobert with a mocking look and said, "I really don't know where you got the confidence from. You actually think he would feel guilty about you. If I'm not mistaken, even if you put a hole in his chest, he would not repent at all. He might even want to go even further and insult and curse you viciously."
Cobblepot's facial muscles began to twitch, and his nasolabial folds became more obvious, making him look at least ten years older. Schiller shook his head and said, "His methods were too clumsy. He actually gave you the opportunity to do something to him. I think his importance is not even as important as Fish Mooney..."
As soon as this name came out, the expression on Cobert's face became complicated, and his eyes became brighter, as if showing fear, disgust, but also a hint of indescribable emotion.
Cobert seemed not to want to discuss this issue anymore. He came back to his senses, looked at Schiller and asked, "Where are we going next?"
"No hurry, let's go meet someone first."
Schiller brought the two of them to the room where Gordon was. Gordon was sitting on the sofa in the room. There was a very horrible suture mark on his neck. Cobert became excited almost as soon as he saw him.
"James, James, what's wrong with you?" Cobblepot rushed forward. When he saw the wound on Gordon's neck, his eyebrows raised high and he screamed angrily: "Who did this?! Who the hell dares..."
"Be quiet, Oswald." Gordon curled his lips in disdain. He said, "You shouldn't be here. Why don't you go back home to be with your mother?"
Cobert was almost immediately overwhelmed by shame. He muttered with a pale face: "This is an accident. I was not at home when the accident happened..."
"Okay, I'm not going to blame you either." Gordon sighed and said, "It happened too suddenly. I didn't expect it."
"Do you know that you might be controlled?" Schiller said very bluntly: "The intelligence you told me contained a huge trap. Fortunately, I did not step into it."
Gordon didn't look surprised. He shook his head and said, "I remember my opening statement was how I was tainted. If you're a smart person, you know everything after that is unbelievable."
"But they shouldn't have chosen you." Schiller was also very calm. He said: "Maybe you are not the real James Gordon, but they gave you his memory, then you are Gordon, and Gordon is a hero, the last conscience of Gotham."
Gordon shook his head, pointed to his head and said, "I am Gordon, at least this part."
Schiller's pupils shrank slightly. He pushed Cobert away and walked forward to check Gordon's neck. Then he found that in addition to the half he had sutured, the part where the head and body were previously connected had many fine black lines on it, which also looked like some kind of stitches.
And the skin color and texture above and below the sutures are different.
Schiller looked at Gordon with a slightly shocked look, and Gordon said: "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you the whole truth, but I don't know if you can trust me. I am indeed James Gordon, but this body is not mine."
"Can you tell me what happened?" Schiller took a look at Gordon's police uniform. There were many stains on the clothes, and there was no police number to prove his identity.
“On the first day when the anomaly appeared throughout the city, my teammates and I went to the hotel to investigate, but we were not careful enough at that time and entered a very scary place. Both of them died, and only I survived.”
Schiller was somewhat skeptical of what Gordon was saying now, because he knew that if someone had to die, Gordon would be the first to rush forward.
Gordon seemed to have anticipated his doubts and said, "It's completely different from what you imagined. It's not dangerous, but weird. You can't control life and death. Death comes suddenly and no one has a chance to save it."
"Originally, I should have died there, but I knew that if the three of us died, then everyone else would have died in vain. I had to find a way to pass on the information, so I made an extremely bold decision."
"You took the initiative to accept the contamination." Schiller said confidently, "You made yourself one of them because you knew they were immortal. Even if you gained some of their abilities, you could restrain them and survive here."
Gordon nodded, and Cobblepot looked at him with even more admiration, or perhaps more sympathy, because Cobblepot obviously also adopted this method.
"We have no choice." Gordon said, "It is impossible for ordinary people to survive in such a dangerous environment. Aren't you able to survive until now because of some special abilities?"
Neither Schiller nor Jerome denied this. Although Jerome looked like an ordinary person, he also had some means of saving his life, but the cost was too high and he could not use them unless it was absolutely necessary.
But as long as he has this means, his mentality will be different from that of an ordinary person. The possibility of him making forced errors is much smaller than that of an ordinary person because he knows he has a way out.
Schiller sighed softly and said, "Can you tell us where that place is?"
Gordon shook his head and said, "I know you are not afraid of death, but there is no need to take such a meaningless risk."
"Then why did you take such a risk?" Schiller immediately found the loophole in his words and said, "That place doesn't look easy to get into, otherwise we would have entered it by mistake. If you came here on purpose, it means you know there must be some secret there."
Gordon shook his head, as if he was determined to stick to his guns. Schiller discovered that all those who survived with the help of pollution would have some changes in their personalities. Gordon in the TV series "Gotham" was not such a negative person, and Cobblepot, who was covered in blood, was not someone who would use such a high-profile method to kill people.
But in this situation, Schiller can't choose his teammates, he can only use whoever is available. Gordon is a policeman after all, and his fighting power is at the top among ordinary people. Moreover, Gordon is still young and strong. He is really a rare bodyguard and thug. Schiller must take him with him.
"We have reasons to go deeper into this place." Schiller was going to continue to persuade him. He said, "I hope you can help us. This is also helping Bruce Wayne."
Hearing Bruce's name, Gordon was a little shaken, but Schiller caught his fleeting complex emotions. It seems that Gordon really knows a lot.
