Chapter 2837: Demonic Forbidden Zone (VII)
Chapter 2811: The Demon Restricted Area (VII)
Schiller stared at the phantom in the room quietly. He knew that it was not happening now. Bruce in this universe, like other Batman, lost both his parents when he was young. Martha Wayne could not be 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 turned around barefoot by the bed, her expression looked tired and sad.
When she turned around, Schiller found that Martha was pregnant.
It seemed that she was five or six months pregnant. Because Martha was thin, her belly looked particularly big. If it was not unexpected, it should be Bruce in the belly.
Schiller searched the memory bank in the stream. He found that Bruce had mentioned before that it was not so simple for him to be chosen by Naya. All the encounters were reunions after a long separation.
But why her?
Schiller did not see the specialness of Martha. At least the woman in front of him was just an ordinary person, and it seemed that she had no intersection with the occult world.
Schiller looked carefully again, and he found that Martha's expression was not very good. Schiller did not know much about obstetrics and gynecology, but he could also see that Martha was tired and exhausted, and it seemed that this baby was not well taken care of.
But this was actually unlikely. The man she married was Thomas Wayne, and in the TV series "Gotham", Bruce Jr. was the only son of the couple. How could Thomas let his wife have problems?
Schiller thought about it again and felt that it was not right for Martha to appear here. She was pregnant and looked bad. I'm afraid Thomas didn't have time to ask Alfred to take good care of her. Why would he let her run to the Wayne Hotel alone?
Martha paced in the room all the time. The skin care products on her face had dried up, but she was still applying them. Schiller observed obvious symptoms of anxiety, but he couldn't 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 bedside blankly. Schiller suddenly noticed that there was an alarm clock on the bedside table.
This alarm clock was also an illusion, because the alarm clock in Room 1905 was now here, but the alarm clock in this fantasy was exactly the same as the alarm clock in his hand. This was probably what the alarm clock looked like in the past.
Martha picked up the alarm clock and began to adjust it. Schiller saw that the time on the alarm clock was more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and Martha adjusted the alarm clock to midnight.
Her expression was a little distracted, and she fiddled with the alarm clock absent-mindedly. When she turned to the side, there were two hairs hanging in the gap of the alarm clock battery compartment. This was the source of the two hairs in the alarm clock in Schiller's hand.
Martha adjusted the alarm clock and lay down on the bed to sleep. She slept very unsteadily that night, waking up frequently, and then looking at the bedside, but there was actually nothing there.
At 12 o'clock in the night, the alarm clock rang, but it was not the sound of the elevator, but just a very ordinary alarm clock ring. Martha was suddenly awakened and slowly turned over and sat up in 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 place outside the room, so Martha's figure disappeared completely after leaving the room, and no one knew where she went.
Schiller had a vague premonition, but he couldn't tell for sure. At this time, the door leading to the bedroom from the living room was opened, and Cobert came out with an umbrella, covered in blood.
His expression was also a little distracted, with a sense of exhaustion after overwork. Schiller seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago. His eyes followed Cobert and saw Cobert throw himself into the chair in the bedroom, and then sit there stiffly.
Schiller and Jerome didn't look into the living room in tacit agreement. They didn't need to look. Even an inexperienced person could guess what happened in the living room from the blood on Cobert's body, not to mention these two lunatics.
"You win." Cobert suddenly looked up at Schiller and said.
Jerome looked at Cobert with a mocking look and said, "I don't know where you got your confidence from. You actually think he will feel guilty about you. If I'm not mistaken, even if you made a hole in his chest, he would not repent, and even want to go further and insult and curse you viciously."
Cobert'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, and 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 more energetic, like fear, like disgust, but there was also a trace of inexplicable emotion.
Cobblepot 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 see someone first."
Schiller brought the two to the room where Gordon was. Gordon was sitting on the sofa in the room. There was a very scary suture mark on his neck. Cobblepot became excited almost as soon as he saw him.
"James, James, what's wrong with you?" Cobot rushed forward. When he saw the injury on Gordon's neck, his eyebrows raised high and he screamed angrily: "Who did this?! Who the hell dares to..."
"Be quiet, Oswald." Gordon curled his lips slightly in disgust, and said, "You shouldn't be here, why don't you go back to your house to be with your mother?"
Cobot was almost immediately overwhelmed by shame. He mumbled with a pale face: "It was an accident. I wasn't at home when the accident happened..."
"Okay, I didn't mean to talk about you." Gordon sighed and said, "It happened so suddenly, I didn't expect it."
"Do you know that you may be controlled?" Schiller said very bluntly: "The information you told me has 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 line was about how I was tainted, and if you're a smart guy, you know everything after that is untrustworthy."
"But they shouldn't choose 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. Gotham’s Last Conscience.”
Gordon shook his head, pointed to his head and said, "I am Gordon, at least this part."
Schiller's pupils shrank. He pushed Copot away and stepped forward to check Gordon's neck. Then he discovered that in addition to the half he had sutured, the part where the head and body were still connected had many fine black lines. Also looks like some kind of stitching.
And the skin color and texture of the upper and lower stitches are different.
Schiller looked at Gordon with slightly shocked eyes, and Gordon said: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the whole truth, but I don't know if you can trust it. I am indeed James Gordon, but this body is not mine."
"Can you tell me what happened?" Schiller glanced 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 abnormalities appeared in the entire city, my teammates and I went to the hotel to investigate, but we were not cautious enough at that time and entered a very scary place. Both of them died, and only I survived."
Schiller was somewhat doubtful of what Gordon was saying now, because he knew that if someone had to die, Gordon would definitely be at the front.
But Gordon seemed to have thought that he would question it, 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's death would be 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 pollution." Schiller said with certainty: "You made yourself one of them, because you knew that they were immortal, and even if you obtained some of their abilities, you could restrain them. To survive here.”
Gordon nodded, and Cobot couldn't help but look at him with more admiration, or in other words, more sympathy, because Cobot obviously also adopted this method.
"We have no choice." Gordon said: "It is impossible for ordinary people to survive in such a dangerous environment. Your ability to survive until now depends on some special abilities, right?"
Neither Schiller nor Jerome denied this. Although Jerome seemed to be an ordinary person, he also had some means to save his life, but the cost was too high and he could not use them except as a last resort.
But as long as he has this method, his mentality is different from that of real ordinary people. The possibility of him making forced mistakes is much smaller than that of real ordinary people, because he knows that 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 in the first place?" Schiller immediately found the loophole in his words and said: "That place doesn't seem to be easy to enter, otherwise we would have entered it by mistake. If you had made a special trip If you look for it, it means you know there must be some secret there."
But Gordon shook his head, as if he was going to keep his words. Schiller discovered that all people who survive through pollution methods will have some changes in their personalities. Gordon in the TV series "Gotham" is not such a negative person, but Satisfied. Cobot, who was covered in blood, was not someone who would use such high-profile means to kill people.
But in this situation, Schiller can't choose his teammates. He can only use whomever he wants. Gordon is a policeman after all, and he is considered to be the pinnacle of military force among ordinary people. Moreover, this Gordon is young and strong. A rare bodyguard and thug, Schiller must take him with him.
"We have a reason to go deep here." Schiller planned to continue to persuade, 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 captured his fleeting complex emotions, and it seemed that Gordon really knew a lot.
