Chapter 3181 The Detective is about to die (Thirty-two)
After coming out of the narrow cave, Schiller found that there was a wide hall and many caves on the wall. This underground cave was much larger than they imagined.
Schiller guessed that this might be the main reason why Siltek chose this small village as a base. This place is very suitable for avoiding searches. Unless it is a local who has been active here all year round, no one can find the hiding place of the laboratory.
"Which passage should we choose?" Schiller asked.
Bruce seemed to want to suggest looking for traces of Batman, but if he did not take this path, he might not have passed through these passages, so naturally there might be no traces left.
Schiller walked to the side of these passages and looked. It was pitch black inside, and he could not see clearly what was going on.
"I have a suggestion." Bruce said, "I have been in this kind of cave for a while before. Generally speaking, we can judge which road is the exit by the wind direction, but I don't feel any wind here. Maybe we can rely on listening to the sound."
"Listen to the sound?"
"The sound reverberates in this kind of structure in a regular way. We shout towards each road and listen to the echo to roughly judge the size of the space inside."
"Are you a bat spirit?" Greed said half-jokingly, but he actually knew that the base of Batman in the Fighting World was also this kind of cave. Bruce did live there for a while, so it was normal for him to have experience.
Before they tried this method, a strange vibration came from the top of their heads, and they heard a "buzzing" roar.
The sound was so loud and obvious that it could be felt without much distinction. It seemed to come from the direction of the road they came from.
In addition, the sound was also very similar to the buzzing sound of a lighthouse.
Most practical lighthouses will also make sounds when the lights are on to attract the attention of ships. In order to make this sound travel farther, the frequency and wavelength are required, so it sounds unique and generally will not be mistaken.
"Someone activated the lighthouse?" Schiller frowned as he said.
Logically, there should be no living people in the lighthouse now.
No, wait!
Schiller and Greed looked at each other.
They were fooled!
Batman did not return to the underground cave through the hole in the room. He just hid in other rooms of the lighthouse. After they left the lighthouse, he could return to the top floor of the lighthouse to activate the lighthouse. This was his purpose!
After realizing this, Schiller immediately understood that this was what Batman deliberately led them to do. He might even have expected this scene when he was making up the story.
Because the most important clue that made him think Batman must have left through the underground cave was the letter, which meant that Sirtek had a secret laboratory.
Because this is very logical. If the fish was actually brought by Siltek to develop vaccines, then the secret laboratory cannot be too far away from the fish, and this kind of thing must be done behind people's backs, and it is impossible to build it in the village, so the only option left is the underground cave.
The main universe Batman made them think through the last letter that he pretended to be seriously injured in order to let everyone explore the lighthouse, so that he could go to the underground cave to find the laboratory to get evidence and expose Siltek.
But in fact, his purpose was to get everyone into the underground cave and stay alone in the lighthouse to activate the lighthouse.
Schiller remembered the body of Jeff that he had seen being moved. That was the trace left by Batman deliberately, in order to let him think about how he defeated Reed, so that he could better prove that he went down the cave, so that he and his group could chase him.
"Go back!" said the White Knight. "The activation of the lighthouse is probably not a good omen. We have to go back quickly."
"No." Schiller shook his head and refused, saying, "How do you know that he activated the lighthouse not to transfer us back? If we keep following his ideas, we will always be led by him."
Bruce also nodded and said, "Yes, that cunning hunter must have mastered some secrets that we don't know. I don't want to be fooled by him all the time."
"It's already this time, you still don't plan to say it?" Schiller stared at Greedy. He and Batman were definitely the ones who put the most effort in the storytelling link.
"I have said everything I should say..."
"Really? Including the sheep's hoof prints made of wood ash?"
The eyes of the other two fell on Greedy's face.
Schiller gently twisted his fingertips and said, "Don't tell me that the traces left by the devil are exactly the same color as the ashes left by the burnt wood in the fireplace."
His greedy eyes flashed, and he said, "What do you mean? Do you think the wanderer's footprints we saw are fake?"
"If I hadn't burned the house and got some ashes on my hands when I went to check the ruins, I wouldn't have figured out how the footprints appeared."
"What do you think?"
"You drew the footprints, Mr. Photographer." Schiller stared at him, his eyes cold and said, "You deliberately threw away what Madeline wanted, led her around in the snow, and let her leave footprints to interfere with our judgment, so that we can attribute everything to supernatural events."
"But you all saw that I didn't bend down to draw footprints."
"That's because the footprints were not painted on your feet, but on Madeleine's hands." Schiller said: "Madeline's body walked on her hands, and we also moved a step after she Then I saw a black hoof mark there."
"And you were the only one who came into contact with the gun that Madeleine held from the beginning to the end." Schiller said: "It's not an accident that you picked up the gun, because if Madeleine had a pattern drawn with ashes on her hand, then there must be a pattern on the gun. There will be marks on it. You are afraid that others will find out about it, so you keep holding the gun. "
"Otherwise, if we are not relatives, if you just throw the gun to one of them, wouldn't you be able to avoid the monster's pursuit? Or just throw it on the ground. Does the monster's life and death have anything to do with you?"
The pale knight raised his eyelids. Looking back now, Greedy's behavior at that time was indeed a bit weird. The weirdest thing was that he picked up the gun but then threw the gun downstairs.
"But I've been under your noses all this time. Where did I have the time to draw some patterns on Madeleine's hands?"
"You can kill a person in advance and move the body. Is it difficult to draw a pattern with the ashes of the wood in the fireplace?"
"But Madeleine is a living person, how could she sit there obediently and let me paint?"
"This shows that she did not have full mobility at that time." Schiller's tone was very firm. He said: "When we saw Madeleine, her state was very abnormal, no different from crazy."

"You mean I drove her crazy? I'm just a photographer, how can I have that kind of ability?"
Schiller heard that Greed was actually saying that although in reality he was a psychiatrist and could hypnotize, in the game he was just a photographer and could not use such skills.
There were no wounds on Madeline's important parts, and she probably wasn't knocked unconscious. Judging from the strength of some of her movements, it didn't look like she was anesthetized. Greed must have used some other method to subdue her.
Schiller suddenly thought of what Madeleine had been shouting: "He's coming."
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Greedy, speculating on his motives. Greedy seemed to have been leading them in the direction of the Prowler from the beginning. The appearance of the footprints confirmed their guesses and made their thoughts move in the direction of the Prowler. The characteristics of this road are gone forever.
In the game, their thinking is actually limited. Just like Batman in the main universe said at the beginning, it seems that they can only think of one thing at a time.
They were busy inferring the characteristics of the prowler, so they naturally overlooked many things. Schiller somewhat understood why the clown returned to the cabin. He might be trying to find lost clues.
"Should we continue exploring the cave? Or go back to find Batman?" the Pale Knight asked.
Schiller knew very well that if they continued to explore the cave now, it could be seen from the number of cave roads that they would not have a clue within a few days. They underestimated the complexity of the cave and did not bring too many supplies. They continued like this. , it will be troublesome if you get lost.
So that wasn't an option. Schiller was hesitant whether to go up the river or return to the lighthouse.
At this time, there was a faint voice from the road they climbed in, "Are you still there? I found something, do you want to come over and take a look..."
That was the voice of the Night Owl, and Schiller no longer delayed, but crawled back into the cave and returned to the place where they separated from the Night Owl.
The light of the flashlight flashed, and Night Owl said: "I walked upstream of the river and found a gate there. I think we can go and have a look."
Without further ado, the group of people walked upstream together, walked for about twenty or thirty minutes, turned a few corners, and arrived at the gate that Night Owl mentioned, which was also the source of the river.
Schiller saw that the river was not naturally generated at all, but flowed from dozens of water pipes embedded in the cave walls. Fish also jumped out from there. It was indeed a breeding farm.
Schiller looked at the door again. It was a very tall security door with a sign of three traps intertwined and cut by a cross, with "Siltec Creatures" written in English letters underneath.
Good guy, this is because I'm afraid I'll go to the wrong door when the agents come for me.
But being so fearless also shows the strength of this guy. Schiller thought, he just doesn't know what is in this laboratory.
Just when Schiller was thinking about how to open the door, shockingly, there was a trembling sound of gears biting, and the door slowly opened.
What appeared behind the door was a row of automatic machine guns, all of which turned their guns and aimed at the people at the door.
The only thing Schiller could be sure of was that none of them should be able to escape the shooting range instantly.
At this time, a figure walked out from behind him.
Greed stood in the middle of the door, and the light from the door shone on his back, as if it was trying to cut him out of the world, but he just stood there and smiled.
"Welcome home."
