Chapter 2815 Phantom Haunted Room (15)

Chapter 2789 Phantom Murder Room (Fifteen)

"During this process, I passed through mirrors and glass countless times. I am sure I saw myself, but I didn't realize the abnormality at all. Until today when the alarm rang, some thoughts that did not belong to me filled my mind."

"I began to realize that I had been eroded. What I saw and heard might not be true, but I still retained a trace of rationality. I hope to leave the room."

"Why?" Schiller asked.

"I don't know. I don't know if this is my thought, or even if I have had this thought. I feel that thing has always been in my mind."

Gordon became a little absent-minded again. Schiller kept calling his name, which gradually restored his rationality. Schiller told Gordon his speculation, but concealed the part about Peter.

Because no one knows whether Gordon is still Gordon now.

Schiller saved Gordon not because he believed in him so much. He just wanted to save the life of the sheriff first. If things turn around later, maybe the pollution can be removed.

"Tell me about the method you told me to leave the 19th floor." Schiller looked at Gordon and said.

"That may not be what I told you." Gordon obviously didn't believe in himself more than Schiller. He said, "I may have been manipulated, and what I told you is a way to die."

"Just tell me, I have my own judgment."

Gordon had to swallow and began to say, "This is the result of my research in the past few days. I found that at 12 o'clock every night, something will come out of the elevator, but it will not only come to the 19th floor, but also go to other floors."

"There was a ding when the elevator door opened, which means that the elevator has resumed operation. I think maybe we can follow it and get in before the elevator door closes."

"Why not get in before it?" Schiller said, "You can take advantage of it patrolling the corridor. ..."

"No." Gordon shook his head and said, "After it comes out, the elevator door will close, and we can't open the door by pressing it, so we can only rush into the elevator when it returns to the elevator and the elevator door opens. "

"But that will be caught in a trap."

"So we have to gamble." Gordon said, "Our speculations are similar. I also think it is a pollution detection device. Since it will not attack uncontaminated things, as long as you make sure you are not contaminated, you may be able to coexist peacefully with it."

Schiller began to think about it. It must be said that what Gordon said makes sense. If the thing outside is a pollution detection device, as long as you are sure that you have not been contaminated, it may not attack.

But it is actually hard to say, because the Cthulhu mythology system itself is chaotic, and it is not really a strange talk about rules. Moreover, there is no obvious rule now. Everything can only be guessed by yourself. If you guess wrong, you will be completely passive.

According to Schiller's observation, the only way to leave the 19th floor is by elevator. You have to take the elevator no matter what. If that thing really attacks you, there is no other way but to fight it hard.

But he will definitely not win, and this has to start from his origin.

The bishop is actually a "corpse collector".

When the first priest was killed in the church, he was more convinced that there was no God in this world, so the bishop was born.

In the back garden of the church, at the hands and feet of God, he opened up a cemetery of his own.

When the blood of the jumping live fish dries up, they are no longer so energetic and beautiful. They will rest in the kingdom of the bishop and rot quietly in a place where no one knows.

Schiller said to everyone who asked him why he always had no time on weekends: "Sorry, I'm going to thank God."

Then he added silently in his heart: "Thank God for never existing."

He is the one closest to pathology among all the personalities on the magic side. For a long time, he worked with hunting and abuse.

But this does not mean that he is as aggressive as a person with a morbid personality. He is just a researcher. It is a bit difficult for him to fight a C-type monster for 300 rounds.

But Schiller has his own way.

He asked Gordon his last question, "Have you seen other living people in this floor?"

"Are you referring to living people like me?" Gordon smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I only know that there should be someone living in room 1904, but I don't know how he is now. When I was exploring in the corridor, I saw him walking around the room, but he seemed to have never left the room."

"Is there someone living in room 1904?" Schiller was a little confused. The elevator only knocked twice over there. If there was someone in room 1904, were these two knocks for 1904 and 1905?

But it's not surprising. From Gordon's description, he didn't have any abnormality before the alarm rang today, and he didn't even realize that he was abnormal. Maybe the judgment criteria are much stricter than Schiller imagined. The people in rooms 1901 and 1903 may have been judged as contaminated.

But if that's the case, why haven't they been killed yet? Could it be that they have been killed now, but he was busy coming to room 1907 and didn't notice it?

Schiller returned to his room. He had to sort out his thoughts carefully and find a way out from these messy and scattered clues.

Everything was so weird.

When all the clues were put together, Schiller suddenly realized something - all of this might be a carefully woven trap.

First, during the first round of exploration, Schiller discovered the conditions of the people in Room 1901 and Room 1903, and when the first night came, Schiller heard the sound of the elevator.

Then the people in Room 1903 gave a setting, that is, the alarm in the room must be sounded, only in this way can they ensure their safety.

Then Jerome on Peter's side explained this setting again, that is, the bell is a detection device, and the bell will only ring if the people in the room are not contaminated.

Then, through the bell in his room, he deduced that he was not contaminated, and then he would think that the bell rang 5 times on the 19th floor, which means that there are 5 living people on the entire floor.

In fact, there is a very obvious loophole in the entire investigation, that is, all these settings are said by people.

When one person says it, people may doubt it, when two people say it, people may choose to listen to part of it, and when three people say it, people will confirm each other, and everyone is saying the same thing, which greatly increases the credibility.

If these three people have different identities and different states, and may even be in different time and space, their testimonies corroborate each other, and people can't help but believe it.

One person prepares the hook, one person hangs the bait, and the other person casts the rod. Schiller is too familiar with the fishing process.

And the short man, Jerome and Gordon are probably playing these three roles.

If you think about it carefully, the short man in room 1903 is obviously wrong. He doesn't even have feet, and there is only a voice attached to the door. Anyone can see that something is wrong, and they may not completely believe what he says.

But Jerome is hard to tell. He stays in another hotel, and Schiller can't see him in person, and he behaves very much like a normal person, but this is the biggest abnormality, because in the hotel where Peter is, everyone looks normal, so Jerome, who is as normal as them, may be as terrifying as them.

When it comes to Gordon, it is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, because first of all, once the bells in the right corridor are reduced, people will find it difficult to distinguish whether there is a problem in Room 1901 or Room 1903, so it is inevitable that the train of thought will turn to the two living people in the left corridor.

Once you think there are two living people in the left corridor, and Gordon was rescued in Room 1907, then you will definitely think that Gordon is one of the living people, because Gordon was rescued by himself, and people will naturally trust their own labor results more.

The short man mentioned the bell, Jerome explained the bell, and Gordon added the setting that he would not kill people if he was not contaminated. The clue chain is very complete.

All these settings point to one way - as long as you are sure that you have not been contaminated, you will definitely be able to follow this detection device and leave the 19th floor through the elevator.

But from beginning to end, there is no evidence for this setting about the bell, and it is all said by this and that. Schiller has never really seen the alarm clock in the room ring.

This makes good use of the weakness of human psychology. First, the more people say something, the more credible it is.

Secondly, if both the good and evil sides emphasize the same point of view, people will believe in one of them, thinking that one of them must be right, and will not think that both sides are wrong. This is the principle used by the hook wolf.

It was Gordon who really made Schiller realize that this was a trap.

Before asking what happened to Gordon, we must first ask why it was Gordon.

The fact that Gordon appeared here is the biggest problem. There are so many lunatics and villains in Gotham, why did it happen to be this sheriff?

Bruce knows Gordon, Schiller also knows Gordon, and there must be many people in this city who know this sheriff. Gordon is so outstanding. As the last ray of light in a dark city, there are countless people who trust and follow him.

Even if others don't know he is Gordon, when they see the police uniform on him, they will be more likely to believe what he says. After all, Gotham is full of terror now. You are here to collect bribes. As long as you are willing to wear this police uniform, you are a hero. Most people understand this truth.

So people rely on their intelligence and wisdom, spend a lot of energy and physical strength, and finally find such a sheriff. It's like finding a driftwood in the ocean. There is no reason not to believe and rely on him.

The long-term fear, loneliness and no response during the period will make people really become a fragile baby, almost desperate to cry loudly just to attract the attention of their mother.

And at the moment when the mother responds, they have no reason to think whether the one who is holding them now is a mother or a monster. As long as she can comfort herself, it is enough. For ordinary people, this is simply an unsolvable trap.

And Gordon also gave the most fatal setting, continuing the previous foreshadowing, but more in-depth, that is, the existence patrolling in the corridor will not attack those who are not contaminated.

Although he has clearly said that this is gambling, every clue points to the fact that as long as you gamble, you will definitely win, because you meet all the conditions for winning money, and no gambler can refuse this.

Of course, this sounds too much like the groundless suspicion of paranoia, after all, Schiller's speculation has no evidence.

Just when he thought of this, Schiller suddenly remembered that he actually had evidence. Although it was not very reliable, it was much more powerful than the evidence provided by this group of people.

We still have to start with Room 1905.

As mentioned before, the means taken by Room 1905 during the riot did not seem to want Schiller's life at all. It may be subject to certain rules and cannot kill people directly. Schiller still insists on this view now.

But this does not mean that the room does not want to kill people. It cannot do it itself, so it will definitely find ways to force people to commit suicide.

There seem to be two paths to suicide. Schiller had previously guessed that the room wanted to force him to the bathroom. Now it seems that it may be because the water in the bathroom is polluted.

The other way is naturally to jump off the building. Needless to say, jumping down will definitely lead to death.

But there is also a hidden third way, which is what Schiller had conceived before but did not use - rushing out of the door at the fastest speed and rushing to the corridor.

But this is the most likely and simplest way for normal people. Whose good person's first reaction when the furniture flies up and hits him is not to open the door and run away?

If Schiller guessed correctly, the room would not let people escape so easily. It would definitely drag on until midnight, with the purpose of making people rushing out face the existence in the corridor.

The room wants to kill people, so it lays out such a simple path, which just proves that facing the mysterious existence head-on is equivalent to suicide.

To deceive and sneak attack
