Chapter 1928 U Beyond Events (Forty-Five)
"Maybe this hospital is particularly large?" Natasha thought for a moment and said, "There were many wards on the way here, so maybe such a long corridor is needed?"
"But the area of the ward is not large." Batman looked at the ward and said, "It is very strange that most of the wards here are double rooms or single rooms, and there are no public large wards. It is not necessarily that all patients are highly aggressive and dangerous patients?"
"In this case, for the operators of the hospital, it is the best choice to build more large wards and appropriately add single or double rooms. It can not only reduce construction costs, but also accommodate more patients."
"And have you noticed." Batman walked to the wall on the side of the room, pounded the wall and said, "The walls between the rooms are very thick, but the corridors and the outer walls of the building are normal."
Natasha was also confused by what he said, so she said, "What on earth did you think of?"
Batman paced in front of the door and started reasoning from the beginning.
"This scene was created by the killer. He would create a complex hospital with corridors, ward lobby, and various rooms, instead of simply creating a space to lock us in. There must be a reason."
"When inferring the method, I tend to equalize the effort with the reward. Only with better rewards can the murderer use more complex methods."
Since the killer's goal is to kill us, and there is no need to consider any laws here, then he can't use more complex methods like ordinary people just to confuse the police's sight to escape the crime. In other words, the benefits he can gain from this method are direct. "
"And in this game, there is only one direct benefit, that is, to kill us and win."
"It means that he created the complex scene just to kill us."
"Then reverse inference, does this mean that he can't kill us if he doesn't create this complex scene?"
"The previous game process is also a kind of evidence. "Batman twisted his fingers gently and said, "The killers in these games seem to be very powerful and have various abilities, but they don't use these abilities to kill us directly, but have to go around in circles, which shows that their abilities must have their drawbacks. "
"For example, the first imitator killer, not to mention that he has no way of knowing Dick's habits, he only became one person from beginning to end, instead of taking the opportunity of our division to become other people to confuse us. It's not that he doesn't want to do this, but he can't, he doesn't have this ability. "
"Not to mention the second arson killer, if he can really control fire from a distance, why doesn't he directly ignite our skin, but make a huge flame in the space around us, it is very likely that he can't do it. "
"The third gem killer is the same. He is so big that he can kill us with one blow, but he has to play games with us. What curiosity about human nature is nonsense. I have observed before that he dare not throw the cage aside. This action shows that he can't control his strength well at all. Although he has great strength, he is very slow. "
"Although many gems have amazing hardness, they also lose their toughness and become very brittle. It is a bit troublesome to break such a large gem man, but it is not difficult for us to cooperate."
Batman paused, then said: "And this is very reasonable. We are not like the players in the game who can die and revive infinitely."
"We only have one life to participate in the game. If he creates ten invincible monsters with infinite strength, fast speed, deformation, teleportation and dreaming, then this is not a game, but a one-sided killing. The organizer will obviously not do this."
"So he will definitely impose many restrictions on the killer, such as not being able to take action within a certain period of time, and the killer's own ability also has defects."
"Then we have to think about where the defects of this dream killer are. He did not kill people directly. Is it because he has not yet reached the safe time, or he cannot kill people directly? It remains to be discussed."
"But there is no doubt that he created such a complicated hospital as a dream scene, which must be to make up for his defects and better achieve the purpose of killing us. "
"Then this hospital is his modus operandi, and by linking all the strange things in the hospital, we can profile his personality and find his flaws."
"First of all, the most unreasonable thing about this hospital is its building structure. No hospital operator would deliberately make the walls very thick, the wards very small, and the corridors very long. This is an anti-human design in any hospital."
"Then this is the key to the profile." Batman touched his chin and said, "The question is whether the key point is the thick walls, the small wards, or the long corridors."
"I think it's the last point. The first two points are for the last point."
"First of all, if the key point is that the walls are thick, and the killer wants to build an indestructible fortress, then he should have thickened the outer walls as well, instead of just thickening the walls adjacent to the room, which does not provide any protection."
"The room is small, too. Since the ultimate goal of this hospital is to kill us, the killer's focus cannot be the hundreds of other wards that we hardly go to."
"On the contrary, we almost have to pass through the corridor. Whether it is exploring the hospital or doing daily activities, the corridor of the hospital is the part that has the greatest impact on us.
"Another piece of evidence is that the doctors and nurses in the hospital are constantly hinting that we are sick, but we can easily detect their attitudes, and want to arouse our rebellious psychology, either to prove it to them or to escape."
"And to prove it, we naturally have to go to the doctor's office repeatedly, and we must repeatedly shuttle through the corridor, and this is even more true for escaping."
"In other words, this corridor, which is longer than other hospitals, is the key to killing us."
Batman looked up at the ward again and said, "The division into small wards and thickening the walls are all to cover up the abnormality of the corridor. "
"We have been to the hospital before, and we have a certain understanding of how many doors there are in a corridor in the hospital."
"So he had to make many small wards to simulate the door spacing of ordinary hospitals. Because the corridor was too long and the number of doors was limited, the wards might be stretched too long, which made us feel weird when we walked in, so he chose to thicken the walls to make the wards return to normal size."
When she said this, Natasha looked at the ward she was in, and she did find something unusual.
This ward is a rectangle with two windows, and there is a bed under each window, but it can be found that there is a large cabinet on each of the two short sides of the rectangle, and there is a bed on one side of the long side and nothing on the other side.
Natasha remembered that this large cabinet was also in her room, and it was not filled with medical supplies, but some decorations such as sculptures.
She didn't think about it at the time, but now it seems very strange. Why put so many decorations in the ward of mental patients? Are they afraid that they will not use these things to hurt themselves?
"This is to further improve the spatial structure of the long and narrow room. "Batman reached out and knocked on one of the cabinets and said, "Thicken the wall and add two more cabinets, and the length-to-width ratio of the room will be basically normal."
He walked over and knocked on the guardrail at the end of the bed and said, "This bed is less than two meters long, and should be only 1.8 meters at most. This is also to increase the visual horizontal space."
"But our... Oh, yes, if our bed is also shorter, you will definitely find it immediately, so our bed is normal."
Batman nodded. He really likes this kind of teammate who trusts his ability and understands it at a glance.
"But what does the long corridor have to do with killing us?" Natasha raised another question and said, "Does it want to make us more tired? But turning in an ordinary corridor is not labor-saving, so why go to such trouble to extend this straight distance?"
"Unless the straight line is important. "Batman began to think silently.
In his mind, he kept playing the long corridor he had just passed through. A deep and straight corridor led to the end, with doors on both sides.
Suddenly, two completely different but similar scenes overlapped in Batman's mind.
"Bus." He said in a deep voice.
"What?" Natasha asked puzzled.
"The structure of the long corridor and the ward is like the structure of the bus and the seats on both sides." Batman said with his eyes wide open.
He walked to the cabinet on one side and squatted down, and took out a pile of papers from the bottom. There was no pen, so he used some dust on the windowsill to draw a simple pattern.
"This is the long corridor of the hospital." Batman drew a straight vertical line.
"These are the symmetrical wards on both sides of the corridor." Batman drew many horizontal lines on this vertical line.
"This is the aisle of the bus." Batman drew another vertical line below.
"This is the seat or seat gap of the bus. "Batman drew many horizontal lines on the vertical line.
"These are two almost identical patterns, both with a vertical line and many short horizontal lines on them."
"But this is still too abstract." Natasha couldn't figure out the connection. She tilted her head and looked at the pattern on the paper and said, "Then why did the murderer make the hospital structure imitate the structure of a bus? What's the meaning of this?"
Batman felt that he had touched the answer, but he was just a little bit away, and the truth was at his fingertips.
With a "bang", the door was hit, but fortunately Batman locked the door casually and the door did not open.
Natasha turned her head and finally saw the face of the red ghost clearly. It was a face with no skin at all, with charred muscles and veins, a big mouth cracked to the ears and bloody eyes. At this time, it was stuck to the observation window of the door, looking extremely terrifying.
"Bang! Crash!"
Batman took his hand back from the broken observation window. He rubbed his wrist and said, "Sorry, I had a reflex when I saw that smiling face."
"Pah pah pah pah pah!"
A series of bloody handprints flew across the window. Natasha followed the bloody handprints all the way to the top of the window in the room.
His black hair suddenly fell down, and his ghost face slapped on the glass with a bang.
This time, Natasha was really shocked and took a step back, because this was a very typical jump face shock.
But the next second, the infusion rod smashed the glass with a "bang", and even bent the guardrail with a "bang".
Natasha, who was under the window, grabbed the infusion rod with both hands and stabbed it upwards. After the teeth-grinding metal deformation sound, the infusion rod that was originally extended from the bracket had now become a bare spear.
Natasha exhaled and walked towards the door with the infusion rod.
Batman turned around to unlock her door, but was pushed aside by Natasha.
Bang!!!
In the long dark corridor, a door flew to the opposite wall. Natasha retracted her foot, holding the spear in her hand, and stepped forward like a dragon and a tiger. She squinted to the left and glared to the right.
Finally, she turned around and looked at Batman and said.
"Sorry, it was a reflex."
Hehe
