Chapter 2794 Weird Feast Nightmare (II)

If the elevator can be moved, then it is very likely that the elevator shafts of the 18 floors below may not all be in the same position. If Schiller wants to go down to the lobby, he may have to align the positions of all the elevator shafts like stacking blocks.

But it is easier to leave the 19th floor. Either align with the elevator shaft of the upper floor or align with the elevator shaft of the lower floor. As long as one floor is aligned, at least you can take the elevator to leave the 19th floor. If you are lucky, you may be able to leave a few more floors.

Schiller chose to align with the elevator shaft below because most of the functional buildings of the hotel are below. The upper half of the entire hotel building is almost all guest rooms, and there is not much to explore.

More importantly, it is easier to align with the bottom because many rooms can be excluded through some tricks.

As we all know, most of the water in high-rise buildings is pumped up from the bottom, but the water pump capacity of this era is limited. Generally speaking, it is impossible to pump directly to more than 30 floors. Even if it can reach a very high water pressure, it is not very good. The water flow is very weak and it is almost impossible to take a shower.

Therefore, many high-rise buildings will add a pressurized layer in the middle of the floor to re-pressurize the water pumped up and then transport it to the upper floors.

But no matter what, the middle floor does not produce water. The water is transported up through water pipes. The principle of water pipes is the same as that of elevator shafts. If the middle is cut off, the water will definitely not come up.

In other words, as long as there is water in this room, it proves that the water pipe downstairs has not been cut off, which also proves that the elevator shaft cannot be located in this room, because there must be no water pipes in the elevator shaft. As long as it is in a certain position, it will affect the operation of the water pipe.

Of course, it is also possible that the position of a room downstairs has been moved, and the place is vacant, causing the water pipe to break, but the place without water does not necessarily prove that the elevator is there, and the place with water can definitely prove that the elevator is not there.

So by the elimination method, there should be no elevator shaft downstairs in Schiller's room, and the water in Gordon's room, which Schiller has entered, is also normal, which proves that the elevator shaft is not there.

Combined with the previous argument that there is a problem with the water in the hotel, although it may not be manifested through the toilet, the pollution must be spread through water.

In this way, it can be deduced that the rooms where the contaminated guests are located are likely to have water, which basically excludes the rooms where the guests are confirmed to be contaminated, so there are not many rooms left.

Before midnight, the suspects are 1900, 1913, 1902, 1904, and 1909.

Of course, before executing this plan, Schiller had basically determined that 1900 and 1913 were unlikely to be the location of the elevator shaft downstairs. Even if they were, Schiller could not put the elevator there, and he had to let two monsters come out to jam the machine.

Then the only suspects are 1902, where an eyeball was seen before, 1904, where there was half a footprint at the door, and 1909, which Schiller had not visited.

1909 was ruled out first. Again, Schiller needed the monsters to collide in the corridor on the left. Room 1909 was too close to the collision. Schiller was standing in the middle and his eardrums were bleeding. If he went to Room 1909 to change the house number, it would be impossible for him to rush into the elevator alive, so he had to rule it out.

1909 was ruled out so easily because Schiller used more clues to lock on 1904.

The house numbers on the doors of Rooms 1900 and 1905 were changed, and the two rooms were also changed. Before the change, 1900 was facing 1904.

Schiller had previously speculated that this change was likely because someone didn't want 1900 to face 1904. If someone wanted to avoid being disturbed by the monsters in Room 1900 when entering 1904, it would make sense.

The final word was of course the half footprint at the door of Room 1904. Before seeing Jerome's footprint through Peter's vision, Schiller did not dare to make a bold guess, but after seeing the footprint, Schiller knew that Jerome had an accomplice.

That's right, the footprint should not be left by Jerome himself, but by one of his accomplices at this time.

Schiller guessed that the elevator could not go back and forth between two time points. To break through the constraints of the existing time points, some special methods need to be taken, and no one has found this method so far.

Logically speaking, if you see two identical footprints, you will definitely guess that the other party has been here.

But Jerome's situation is very special. It is precisely because the footprint is exactly the same as his that Schiller will judge that there is an accomplice at this time point, because Jerome has a twin brother in "Gotham", the most dangerous criminal in the city of Gotham, the clown Jerome.

If nothing unexpected happens, the investigator who chased him up and down in Bruce's mouth is not Jerome, but his nemesis Jerome.

It's just that these two people look exactly the same, and it's very likely that they shared the same identity at some point, which makes it impossible to find out their true identities.

Speaking of the Joker, Schiller knows all too well. If you don't regard this as a script for the Cthulhu Mythos series, and focus on American comics, then the Joker and Batman law must be useful.

Bruce Jr. has time to send a message to himself thousands of miles away, so there's no reason not to go find the Joker. Even though they are enemies, if something really happens, the first person Batman thinks of is still the Joker.

Now that Batman is really in trouble, the Joker cannot be indifferent. It is not difficult to find this hotel. He is not like Schiller, who is an outsider and has to rush here after receiving the news, so he must have arrived much earlier than Schiller.

If Jerome was at that time, then Jerome must be at this time, so Jerome would ask whether there was a delay in the communication between Peter and Schiller, because he also has a teammate at a different time, and the communication between the two may not be efficient enough.

And if Jerome was at this time, then Schiller still believed in his research results. As a clown, he has a genius criminal wisdom, and as an investigator, he can chase Bruce up and down. Since he left footprints at the door of room 1904, Schiller chose to believe his judgment.

As expected, the Joker was right again. The elevator shaft downstairs was indeed under room 1904.

And because the Joker was one step ahead of Schiller, Schiller suspected that he might have sorted out the position of the elevator shaft below, and most of the elevators on the floors have resumed normal operation.

But this also caused a problem. If the elevator was normal, people entering the elevator could press the floor, and people outside the elevator could also press the floor. Schiller stared at the button for the 13th floor, feeling a little tangled.

He wanted to go to the restaurant on the 7th floor, but he would definitely go to the 13th floor first. However, once the elevator door on the 13th floor opened, it was hard to say what would come in, but Schiller had no way to stop the elevator on the 13th floor.

The elevator was descending very quickly, and it started to slow down in a blink of an eye. Schiller also made a decision. In the second when the elevator stopped completely, Schiller slightly bent his body.

Ding!

The elevator door just opened enough for an adult male to pass through. Schiller rushed out without even looking, and turned right as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, sticking to the dark wall on the right.

With a swish, Schiller saw a bright light in the elevator door, almost illuminating the entire floor. The elevator, which originally had only four metal walls, seemed to have suddenly turned into a magnificent glass palace. Each wall was subdivided into countless glass reflective surfaces, and Schiller's figure was reflected on them.

Schiller moved further in to prevent the light from shining on him. The elevator door slowly closed, the light became weaker and weaker, and the figure reflected in the countless glass fragments gradually disappeared.

The elevator left.

Schiller knew that he had made the right choice. Staying in the elevator was to seek death, but one wave of danger had not yet subsided when another wave came. Although he had escaped the danger in the elevator, he was now on the 13th floor and had to wait for the next wave of elevators to arrive.

Bang!

A loud noise came from the end of the corridor on the right. Schiller felt that the sound was a little familiar. After thinking about it, he found that this was not the sound of the monster in Room 1913 hitting the door?

Bang! Bang!

There were three consecutive sounds, getting closer and closer, and the sound was getting louder and louder. The last sound sounded like the door was about to be smashed.

Schiller could not care about much, and rushed to the elevator and pressed the button frantically. At this time, the elevator panel showed that the elevator had reached the 7th floor and was returning.

Bang! ! ! !

A door was smashed.

Schiller did not choose to look back, but just stared at the elevator panel quietly. There was a heavy sound of footsteps behind him, clatter... clatter...

The sound of the metal chain being dragged was getting closer and closer. Schiller felt his heartbeat getting faster, but it was not because he was nervous, but because some indescribable and indescribable atmosphere enveloped him.

clatter... clatter... clatter...

The footsteps stopped right behind Schiller.

Ding!

The elevator has arrived.

Schiller slowly closed his eyes, judged the degree of opening of the elevator door by hearing, and then stepped into the elevator. Instead of turning back to press the button, he stretched out a hand to feel the position of the button and pressed the door closing button.

During the whole process, he neither opened his eyes nor turned around, until the elevator door was completely closed, Schiller still closed his eyes when he turned around.

The elevator began to slowly descend.

Suddenly, clatter!

Schiller froze suddenly, and the thing followed him into the elevator.

He absolutely couldn't open his eyes now, because the metal wall of the elevator was reflective, and he couldn't look directly at that thing. If he looked at it, his eyeballs would definitely explode.

But standing there was not a solution either. There must be a reason why this thing didn't attack him. Either the elevator restricted it, or it was attracted by something else, or it might be both.

Now Schiller had two choices.

The first choice was to take advantage of the monster being suppressed by the elevator, and Schiller would open his eyes to see its true face and face it head-on. The second choice was to run away the next time the elevator door opened.

Schiller sighed in his heart. As I said before, he was a civilian, and it was a bit too advanced to ask him to fight these monsters for three hundred rounds - he was ready to run.

But running was also a problem. If this monster chased him out, without the suppression of the elevator, it was hard to say whether Schiller's current health bar could survive.

Schiller took a deep breath, and he suddenly had a new idea, which was to pray that a certain enemy of Batman would have better luck, but he must not be hit head-on by him.
