Chapter 3216 The Detective Is About to Die (Forty-One)
Chapter 3190 The Detective is about to die (Forty-one)
This question really stumped Batman.
Because even if we only talk about the video in front of them, it is difficult to say that the monster is the most evil one among this group of people. He is very likely just playing tricks on others, not the culprit.
Whether the monster is ranked third or fourth in terms of evilness depends on whether Bruce is outside the camera. If he wants to surpass the two things in front, he can only say that when the Joker waved at the camera at the end, it was not an apology, but a brother, you still need to practice.
"That lawyer..." Batman suddenly remembered that there seemed to be only one teammate in the justice camp, that is, the Pale Knight.
Schiller shook his head. As he said, the Joker who became righteous is not Batman. The background of the Pale Knight is still the Joker. His justice may be a little more out of line than Batman imagined.
After watching this video, Schiller basically sorted out all the processes from the beginning of the game to now.
Greedy came first. After landing, he should have gone straight to his underground laboratory, but he encountered the detective, the kitchen corpse and Madeline who came to the underground cave for some reason, and started a chase.
The detective fled to the narrow cave. During the chase, his head rubbed against the sand and debris on the ceiling of the cave, but he still failed to escape and was killed by Greedy with a wind blade.
Madeline should have been caught up, but Greedy did not kill her, because Greedy may have met Bruce at this time, and Bruce, as a psychologist, could hypnotize Madeline, and the two reached a deal.
Greedy transported the detective to the cabin through the underground cave, and also moved the unconscious Madeline to the upstairs of the cabin, where Bruce hypnotized Madeline, with the purpose of making Madeline pretend to be crazy when she woke up to prove their guess about the monster, so as to focus everyone's attention on the monster and guide others' attention.
While Greedy was chasing the detective and Madeline in the cave, the Joker arrived at the dock a little later and rushed to the lighthouse that appeared in the opening introduction. It took some time to capture the Huff family.
Bruce stayed in the cabin to make arrangements, while Greedy went back to the laboratory along the cave to check, and then continued to move forward along the cave, entered the lighthouse through the exit above his head, met the Joker, and the two reached a cooperation to shoot and save this video together.
It was during this period that Greedy and the Joker exchanged skill information with each other. Greedy asked the Joker to use the dice to kill as many people as possible on the side of justice after the game officially started, and he himself made a plan to lure everyone to the laboratory.
Afterwards, Greedy might have returned to the cabin, or simply met the Night Owl in the underground cave. In order to achieve his purpose of deceiving everyone, he also reached a cooperation with the Night Owl, allowing him to bring other players to the door of the laboratory at the right time.
The process of cooperation between Greedy, Bruce, the Joker and the Night Owl may be like this.
Greedy wants to win, Bruce may just want to have fun, the Joker wants to torture the righteous, and the Night Owl wants to help Bruce, which may be their motives.
Schiller told Batman his guess, but he added, "These people are all scheming, everyone has their own plan, and it is impossible for them to cooperate sincerely."
Batman nodded and said, "That's right, otherwise he would have caught everyone."
Greedy's plan may not be perfect from the beginning, Schiller thought, because he missed an important piece of information, that is, the Heath in this game knew Pride, and Pride also tricked him and threw him into the lake at the door of his house.
Schiller's mind is small, and the Joker's mind is not big either. The Joker definitely recognized Greedy the moment he saw him, but he pretended not to recognize him, and cooperated with Greedy specifically, just to trick him at the critical moment and avenge the last time.
As for Bruce, it is impossible for him to cooperate sincerely with Greed, not with any Schiller. He and Schiller are also incompatible. Whenever they meet, they torture each other. There is almost no second possibility.
As an evil Batman, Night Owl seems to be inconspicuous in the whole game process, which just means that he is also planning something. It is absolutely impossible for him to simply help Greed.
This team of lunatics can form a new crime syndicate. It is better to expect Batman to become a fool than to expect them to cooperate sincerely.
Batman also realized that this game seems to be a game of luck and points, but it is actually a game of intelligence. Whoever knows more about the other party will have an advantage.
And there is an agent in front of him.
"What do you think of the other people?" Batman asked.
Schiller knew the real drama was about to begin. He cleared his throat and said, "What we need to figure out now is not who is on the photographer's side, but who will stand on the side of Siltec Medical Insurance Company. After all, it is this company that you want to overthrow, isn't it?"
Batman nodded, motioning him to continue.
Schiller sorted out his thoughts in his mind. He thought, this pharmaceutical company was made up by greed, and the others could not have known it when they were making up the background story. Therefore, their position of leaning towards this insurance company could not have existed naturally, but was formed after the game started.
For example, why did the Joker help Greed? Because he knew that Batman would definitely stand on the opposite side of the Siltec Medical Insurance Company, because this company is obviously a villain, and Batman, as a righteous superhero, must overthrow it.
In order to disgust Batman, the Joker will naturally help Greed, who owns this insurance company, and Bruce is likely to be the same.
But in fact, their backgrounds may have nothing to do with this medical company. Although they may all be children of rich families, they can never be as specific as the names made up by Greed.
This means that as long as the conflict between them and Batman is resolved, they can also turn against him.
Note that it is not to help Batman in turn, but not to help Greed.
It is too difficult for them to take the initiative to help the main universe Batman, but as long as they have no reason to help Siltec Medical Company, and thus stop in time and stop helping Greed, it is equivalent to weakening the opponent's power.
As long as these people remain neutral, Batman has an absolute advantage in the face of Greed.
Because his character is a local, a hero, and a very capable hunter. If he is given a chance, he can directly physically destroy Greed. I can make many mistakes, but you can only make one mistake.
And how to restore their neutrality naturally has to start with their background stories.
Everyone has to set a motive for coming here. The paragraph they introduced at the beginning about why they came here is basically nonsense, but there must be a reason.
For example, Schiller is responsible. He is a clergyman of the church. There are monsters here, so he must come. As a member of the church, his ultimate goal is of course to solve the monsters. If he can't solve the monsters, he can also solve all those who know the existence of monsters.
Other players must have such a goal.
It may be important to disgust the other party, but the winner can disgust the loser most thoroughly, so if they use their energy to achieve their own goals, they will naturally not disgust Batman again.
As for the purpose of the other people, Schiller also has a rough guess, but it is a bit inconvenient to talk like this now. He directly took out his kitchen knife from his arms, gestured at his hand, and then looked at Batman.
Although Batman knew that Schiller wanted to trigger the battle in order to remove the restrictions of role-playing, he always felt that Schiller had bad intentions.
In the end, Schiller chose to hit Batman's arm, so that he could see if Batman really had first aid skills.
But Batman was also a ruthless person. He didn't use any skills at all. He simply bandaged his arm with the bandage he had found in the lighthouse before, and seemed to take this minor injury seriously at all.
But this still successfully triggered the battle, and Schiller could better express his inference.
"What kind of person do you think the Joker is?" Schiller asked.
Here it comes, Batman thought, as expected, no matter which Schiller can read minds, this game is worth playing.
"He is a lunatic." Batman said: "A lunatic with reason and wisdom."
Under normal circumstances, Schiller should shake his head at this time, and then express his own deeper insights.
But the Schiller Batman met this time is not ordinary.
He nodded and said, "Yes, the Joker is such a person. He is crazy, but also rational. In other words, his seemingly crazy actions have his own logic behind them."
"It is the same in this game. He seems to be doing whatever he wants. He helps Greed when he meets him, but he escapes at the last minute. He may even see your abnormality but does not expose it."
"These seemingly contradictory behaviors must have their reasons. He helps Greed because he knows that he may meet a hypocritical hero like you in this game, and he likes to torture heroes, so of course he has to help Greed to establish an advantage first."
"In the end, he chose to escape because he knew how frustrating it was for a perfect plan to go wrong at the last minute, and he wanted to use this to humiliate Greed."
"He used his skills to change the dice to torture you, but he finally chose to let you go because he wanted to see you fail, not die. All of this makes sense."
"Ordinary people can only see his fickleness, using From this, we can infer that he is a madman with a bad brain, but as long as we see his internal logic, we can see that every step he takes is to satisfy his evil desires, and he really did it. "
"From this, we can infer that the background story he made up for himself must also be of this style. In his story, he satisfied his evil desires through seemingly crazy behavior. "
"What does he want to see most? Maybe death, blood and more cruel things, but these are just means, not ends. His goal is always to make people give up hope for the goodness in human nature. "
"Just like he helps greed, just to support the strong, promote injustice, and watch many innocent victims like Madeline sink and struggle in the selfishness and greed of human nature, and finally despair. "
"Just like he used his skills to harm you, not to see how much pain your body was in, he wanted to see the pain in your heart at the moment when you were considered worthless and abandoned by your teammates, because this can make you deny the existence of goodness in human nature. "
"Just like he let you go later, it was also to show you that good does not prevail over evil. No matter how hard you try, you will eventually fail because of the evil hidden in the players' humanity."
"All of the above must be to make you no longer believe in human nature, to make you feel that this group of selfish, greedy and vicious people does not need to be saved, to make you deny everything you have done before, and to give up everything you will do in the future. This is the Joker."
"Oh--"
The one who made this sound was not the main universe Batman, but Bruce who saw the conversation between the two of them through the camera on the night vision goggles in Schiller's hand.
Pride said in his heart: "What are you saying 'oh'?"
"I think what he said makes sense."
Pride began to cut his ninth cigar.
