Chapter 1958 U Transcendence Event (Forty-Nine)

Chapter 1932 U Beyond Big Event (Forty-nine)

Just two minutes ago, the hospital lost power.

Bei Bat walked alone in the dark corridor. There was only a faint moonlight at the end of the long corridor, which made his shadow very long.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a figure standing behind him in the windows of the wards on both sides.

Bei Bat turned his head slowly, but there was nothing behind him.

He did not turn back and walk forward, but turned to the side, facing a window on the wall of the corridor, and sure enough, he saw the figure behind him again. It was Schiller in a gorgeous suit.

On the dim glass without lights, the suit was no longer so bright, reminiscent of withered flowers or fading scales. The tall figure sank into the darkness, and the moonlight flowed down from one shoulder.

"Why are you following me?" Bei Bat's Adam's apple moved.

"Why do you want to see me?" Schiller asked back.

Batman clenched his fists in anger. He stared at the figure in the glass reflection and said, "Don't act like you see through me. You don't."

"How does fighting violence with violence make you feel?" Schiller asked.

Batman clenched his fists again. He took a deep breath, looked at the reflection in the glass and said, "That's unjust. It's no different from what those bastards who want to subvert the world do."

"But it makes you feel good."

"I don't feel that way."

"Someone once told you that it's wrong to resort to violence." Schiller's voice slowly echoed in the dark corridor, just like echoing on an empty stage. There was only Batman in the audience, but it seemed like there were tens of millions of people.

"Because of your kindness to her, you thought so seriously about his advice to you. Your reason tells you that what she said makes sense. Fighting violence with violence has no end and will only make you fall into the abyss of darkness."

"Just like you." Batman loosened his fists, and his mind kept recalling the scenes he saw in the hallucination just now.

The back of the prey walking into the bathroom, the huge picture depicting the naked body, the lively jumping red fish, the falling beans and the blooming flowers...

"But it makes me feel good."

Bei Bat saw the figure behind him take a step closer to him and put his hand on his shoulder again.

"You asked me if I enjoyed it all, I answered you 'yes', and when you learned that they were my enemies, it also made you feel good because I did what you didn't do."

"It's what I chose not to do."

"Do you really have a choice?"

Schiller's figure disappeared, and Bei Bat looked at the empty glass in a daze. Schiller's voice had completely disappeared in the empty corridor, but it always lingered in his ears.

After a while, he turned his head and said, "No matter what you say, I won't do what you do. It's wrong and too cruel."

Schiller did not respond.

This made Bei Bat feel depressed, as if the quarrel did not go well and the other party had left.

He thought that he could have found many reasons to refute Schiller and explain to him that his approach was correct and his barbaric and cruel revenge method was wrong, but he didn't say it.

He didn't know why. He was very good at debate, his mind was very fast, and his language logic was very clear. In the past, few people could beat him in words.

But when Schiller's voice sounded, he felt that his heart was set on fire, his reason did not exist, and all that was left was chaotic and noisy emotions, which made him eager to output emotions instead of reasoning, just like a madman.

At this moment, Bei Bat made up his mind that if the evil ghost following him dared to come out next time, he would definitely convince him.

Bei Bat continued to walk forward until he came to the stairs. As soon as he stepped down, he saw that figure appeared on the glass in the stairwell again.

"Keep going up, you will meet the chaser."

Bei Bat heard Schiller's voice again. He recalled what Schiller had told him in the clinic before, that his demonic personalities were now able to move freely, and he mentioned four names.

Bei Bat knew that the hallucination was actually what happened when these four personalities took over Schiller's body, and the chaser was obviously the personality trait that chased the prey all the way to the bathroom stall on the dance floor.

Bei Bat took a deep breath, closed his eyes and carefully recalled some details he saw in the hallucination.

The prey was a woman in a golden dress, with short gray curly hair, about 50 years old, and the jewelry on her body was gorgeous and noble, showing her identity as an upper-class person.

In the corner of his hazy vision, Bei Bat saw many well-dressed upper-class people like this woman.

Like every other ball he had attended in Gotham that night, they were dressed in smooth, shiny silks and wools, adorned with all kinds of gems, and packed into the dance floor like sardines, and Batman had been close enough to them to hear their pulses.

And none of them knew what kind of angry flames were burning in Bruce Wayne's heart, or some of them knew, but no one cared.

Bei Bat woke up from his thoughts, and Schiller on the glass looked at him and said, "Don't turn around and run away, don't let your guard down... I'll wait for you at the next intersection."

The reflection on the glass disappeared.

Walking up the stairwell, Bei Bat felt the gloomy and cold atmosphere. The moment his two feet stepped on the corridor floor at the same time, a red shadow pounced on him.

The pale female ghost wearing red clothes and staring with bloodshot eyes stretched out two ghost claws and pounced straight at Bei Bat at a very fast speed.

Bei Bat flexibly dodged to the side, and the female ghost screamed when she didn't pounce.

Bei Bat was about to turn around to look at the female ghost behind him, as if he had thought of something, and his steps paused.

He recalled the scene of the hallucination, in which only the back of the woman in the golden skirt was clear, and all the others were very hazy and blurred, and he couldn't even see the specific location, only vague black shadows.

"Don't turn around and run away..." Bei Bat said softly.

He realized something, so he stopped where he was, raised his head slightly, straightened his neck and walked forward, completely ignoring the female ghost who rushed behind him.

The female ghost followed him, and the gloomy cold air made Bei Bat feel a chill on his back. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the head of the black-haired female ghost was stretching out from the side of his neck.

Bei Bat could only see her profile, a blood-red big eye that was turning around and staring at him, and a grinning mouth, which was full of cruel and cold smiles.

Bei Bat walked forward without looking away.

The female ghost's expression became more and more broken, blood began to flow from her blood-red pupils, and black liquid came out of her mouth, and her whole face looked even more terrifying.

The pair of gloomy ghost claws also rested on Bei Bat's body. Although there was no touch, Bei Bat could still see from the reflection of the glass that the ghost's hand was slowly moving up, as if to strangle his neck.

Bei Bat curled his lips, didn't even look at her, and continued to walk forward.

The ghost let out a sharp howl close to his ear, and this time it finally hurt a little. Bei Bat was dizzy and his eardrums were buzzing, but he still endured the discomfort and walked straight forward.

The figure of a young Schiller in a black shirt appeared on the window on the other side of the corridor. It was the Schiller that Bei Bat saw in the bathroom mirror in his hallucination.

He held a sharp knife in his hand, which seemed to be the one he used to kill his prey in the bathroom. At this time, he stared at Bei Bat with a cold face.

Bei Bat slowed down his pace, but still moved forward.

The ghost girl began to howl in high and low order, the ceiling lights kept shaking and trembling, the plaster ceiling began to crack and drop debris, as if it would fall down at any time.

Bei Bat's steps were a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he seemed to confirm his guess, facing the window with Schiller's reflection, and walked forward with firm steps.

The ghost girl seemed to have finally collapsed. She let go of Bei Bat, knelt on the ground and began to cry very shrilly.

The cry did not sound like a ghost girl, but like a woman who felt extremely sad.

Bei Bat finally stopped.

The ghost girl cried even harder, Bei Bat slowly closed his eyes, clenched his fists slightly again, and then walked quickly to the end of the corridor without looking back.

He was already standing in front of the window where the chase was, and to his right was the stairwell leading to the next floor.

But Bei Bat did not turn to the right. Instead, he took two steps to the right and then turned to the left, then walked backwards towards the stairwell, his eyes never leaving the window where Zhui Lie's reflection was.

He walked backwards and groped for the handrail and climbed the stairs.

No, there was still something wrong, Bei Bat thought.

The two sentences given by Schiller in a gorgeous suit were a hint, "Don't turn around and run away" means never turn your back on Zhui Lie.

In his hallucination, Bei Bat saw that in Zhui Lie's field of vision, only the woman who walked towards the bathroom with her back to him was completely clear, and he could even see the details of the accessories on her wrist and neck.

But everyone in his peripheral vision was a little too blurry, even so hazy that he couldn't see the boundary line clearly, and could only see some vague black shadows, which was actually not normal.

Although the secondary vision of humans is not as clear as the primary vision, if there is no problem with vision, all images in the field of vision cannot be blurred like that.

This may mean that Zhui Lie can only see the back of the prey, or he can see the back most clearly.

This is also in line with the rules of hunting. Hunters are not fighters. They will not fight their prey head-on. They will either set traps or shoot from a distance, and then chase the injured prey. All they can see is the prey's back.

The ghost girl was either coerced by Schiller or cooperated with him. Her purpose from the beginning to the end was to seduce Bei Bat to turn around. Once Bei Bat turned around to face the ghost girl, his back would be left to Zhui Lie standing at the end of the corridor, and he would become prey.

So, Bei Bat was determined not to turn back no matter how the ghost girl made a fuss. Even if Zhui Lie showed up in person and made a threatening gesture, he would just pretend not to see her and just walked towards her.

Sure enough, Zhui Lie stood quietly in the mirror. If you look closely, his gray eyes are scattered and his eyes are not focused at all. It seems that he didn't see Bei Bat from beginning to end.

But just after walking up two steps, Bei Bat felt something was wrong. If the first sentence "Don't turn around and run away" is a hint, then the second sentence "Don't let your guard down" is also a hint?

Suddenly, Bei Bat turned his head to look at the window on the side of the staircase platform above him. If he continued to go upstairs backwards, he would have his back to the window the moment he walked past the staircase platform.

Bei Bat understood everything.

He first walked backwards up the half-floor of stairs, and after making sure that there was a white wall behind him that absolutely did not reflect light, he turned his body 90 degrees when he stepped onto the staircase platform, facing the window in the stairwell.

He took two steps forward, came to the front of the window and the side of the remaining half-floor of stairs, and after moving a few steps to the side, he turned around again and stared at the window, and stepped backwards up the stairs.

After reaching the next floor, he turned again to keep himself facing the window.

And this time, Schiller's figure who appeared in the window of the upper floor was wearing a gorgeous suit. He smiled at Bei Bat and said, "Smart."
