Chapter 1928 U transcends major events (forty-five)
"Maybe this hospital is extraordinarily big?" Natasha thought about it for a moment and said, "There were quite a few wards on the way we came here, so maybe we need such a long corridor, right?"
"But the area of the ward is not large." Batman looked at the ward and said: "What is very strange is that most of the wards here are double or single rooms, and there are no large public wards.
Are all the patients dangerous and extremely aggressive?"
"In this case, for hospital operators, the best choice is to build more large wards and appropriately add single or double rooms, which can not only reduce construction costs, but also accommodate more patients."
"And have you noticed?" Batman walked to the wall on the side of the room, thumped the wall and said: "The walls separating rooms are very thick, but the corridors and building exterior walls are normal."
Natasha was also a little confused by what he said, so she said: "What on earth did you think of?"
Batman paced in front of the door, reasoning from the beginning.
"This scene was created by the murderer. He would create a complex hospital with corridors, ward lobbies, and various rooms, instead of simply creating a space to lock us in. There must be a reason."
"When inferring techniques, I prefer to equate effort with gain. Only better gains will make the murderer use more complex techniques."
Since the purpose of the murderer is to kill us, and there is no need to take into account any laws here, it is impossible for him to use more complicated methods like ordinary people just to confuse the police and get away with it. In other words, he can get away with this method.
The benefits reaped are immediate.”
"And in this game, there is only one direct benefit, and that is to kill us and win."
"It means that he created complicated scenes just to kill us."
"Then applying reverse reasoning, does this mean that he can't kill us without creating this complicated scene?"
"The previous game process is also a kind of evidence." Batman gently twisted his fingers and said: "The murderers in these games seem to be very powerful and have various abilities, but they do not directly use these abilities.
To kill us, they have to go around in a circle, which shows that their ability must have its drawbacks."
"For example, the first imitation killer, not to mention that he had no way of understanding Dick's habits, he only became one person from beginning to end, instead of taking advantage of our division of troops and transforming into someone else to confuse us. This is not
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, it’s that he can’t, he doesn’t have the ability.”
"Not to mention the second arsonist murderer. If he can really control fire from across the air, why doesn't he directly ignite our skin? Instead, he creates a huge flame in the space around us. It is very likely that he will do the same.
He can't do it."
"The same is true for the third jewel killer. He is so big that he can shoot us to death in one shot, but he insists on playing games with us. Any curiosity about human nature is nonsense. I have observed before,
The fact that he didn't dare to throw the cage aside showed that he couldn't control his power very well at all. Although his power was strong, it was very slow."
"Although many gems have amazing hardness, they also lose their toughness and become brittle. It is a bit troublesome to defeat such a large gem man, but it is not difficult for us to cooperate."
Batman paused and then said: "But this is very reasonable. We are not like the players in the game who can die infinitely and resurrect indefinitely."
"We only have one destiny to participate in the game. If he creates ten invincible monsters with infinite strength, fast speed, deformation, teleportation and dreaming, then this is not a game, but a one-sided killing.
, the organizer obviously won’t do this.”
"So he will definitely put many restrictions on the murderer's side, such as not being able to take action within a certain period of time, and the murderer's own abilities are also flawed."
"Then we have to think about the flaws of the current dream murderer. He did not kill directly. Whether it is because the safe time has not yet passed, or because he cannot kill directly is open to discussion."
"But there is no doubt that he created such a complicated hospital as a dream scene to make up for his shortcomings and better achieve the purpose of killing us."
"Then this hospital is his modus operandi, and by connecting all the weird things in the hospital, his personality can be profiled, and his flaws can be found."
"First of all, the most unconventional thing about this hospital is the building structure. No hospital operator would deliberately make the walls thick, the wards small, and the corridors long. This is not the case in any hospital.
They are all anti-human designs.”
"Then this is the key to profiling." Batman touched his chin and said, "The question is whether the key point is whether the walls are thick, the ward is small, or the corridor is long."
"I think it's the last point. The first two points are all in service of the last point."
"First of all, if the key point is that the walls are very thick, and the murderer wants to build a fortress that is difficult to destroy, then he should also thicken the outer walls, instead of just thickening the walls adjacent to the room, which will not do anything.
Protective effects."
"It's also true that the room is small. Since the ultimate goal of this hospital is to kill us, the murderer can't focus on the hundreds of other wards that we hardly go to."
"On the contrary, we almost inevitably pass through the corridors. Whether we are exploring the hospital or doing daily activities, the corridors of the hospital are the parts that have the greatest impact on us.
"Another piece of evidence is that the doctors and nurses in the hospital are constantly hinting to us that we are sick, but they allow us to easily detect their attitude and want to arouse our rebellious psychology, either to prove to them or to
Run away.”
"And if you want to prove it, you will naturally have to go to the doctor's office repeatedly, and you will have to walk through the corridors repeatedly, especially if you escape."
"In other words, this corridor, which is longer than other hospitals, is the key to killing us."
Batman looked up at the ward again and said, "The division into small wards and thickened walls are all to cover up the abnormalities in the corridor."
"We usually go to the hospital and have a certain understanding of how many doors there are in a hospital corridor."
"So he had to create many small wards to simulate the door intervals of ordinary hospitals. And because the corridor is too long and the number of doors is limited, the wards may be stretched too long, making us feel weird as soon as we walk in.
, so he chose to thicken the walls and return the ward to its normal size."
When she said this, Natasha took a look at the ward where she was, and she did find something unusual.
This ward is a rectangle with two windows. There is a bed under each window. However, you can find that there are large cabinets on each of the two short sides of the rectangle, and there is a bed on one side of the long side and a bed on the other side.
There is nothing on one side.
Natasha remembered that she also had this large cabinet in her room, and that it was not filled with medical supplies, but some sculptures and other decorative objects.
She didn't think about it carefully at the time, but now it's very strange when she thinks about it. Why are there so many decorations in the wards of mental patients? Is it because they are afraid that they won't use these things to harm themselves?
"This is to further improve the spatial structure of the slender room." Batman reached out and knocked on one of the cabinets and said, "Thicken the walls and block up the two cabinets, and the length-to-width ratio of the room will be basically normal."
And he walked over and knocked on the guardrail at the end of the hospital bed and said: "This bed is less than two meters, probably only 1.8 meters at most. This is also to increase the visual horizontal space."
"But our...oh, yes, if our bed is shortened, you will definitely notice it immediately, so our bed is normal."
Batman nodded. He liked teammates who trusted his abilities and knew everything.
"But what does the long corridor have to do with killing us?" Natasha raised another question and said: "Is it to make us more tired? But turning in ordinary corridors is not effortless. As for extending this straight line distance
Is it a lot of trouble?"
"Unless straight lines are important." Batman began to think silently.
The long corridor he just walked through kept playing in his mind, a deep and straight corridor leading to the end, with doors one after another on both sides.
Suddenly two completely different but similar scenes overlapped in Batman's mind.
"Bus." He said solemnly.
"What?" Natasha asked confused.
"The structure of the long corridor and the ward is like the structure of a bus and the seats on both sides." Batman said with wide eyes.
He walked to the cabinet on one side and squatted down, pulling out a pile of paper from underneath. He didn't have a pen, so he used some dust on the windowsill to draw a simple pattern.
"This is the long corridor of the hospital." Batman drew a straight vertical line.
"These are symmetrical wards on both sides of the corridor." Batman drew many horizontal lines on this vertical line.
"This is the aisle of the bus." Batman drew another vertical line below.
"This is the bus seat or seat gap." Batman drew many horizontal lines on the vertical line.
"These are two almost identical patterns, both have a vertical line with many short horizontal lines on it."
"But this is still too abstract." Natasha couldn't think of the connection. She tilted her head and looked at the pattern on the paper and said, "Then why did the murderer want the structure of the hospital to imitate the structure of a bus? What's the point?
significance?"
Batman felt like he had touched the answer, but just a little bit closer, the truth was right on his lips.
There was a "bang" sound, and the door was knocked. Fortunately, Batman locked the door and the door did not open.
Natasha turned around and finally clearly saw the face of the female ghost in red. It was a face with no skin at all, with charred muscles and veins, a big mouth split to the ears and bloody eyeballs. At this time,
It was attached to the observation window of the door, looking extremely scary.
"Bang! Bang!"
Batman withdrew his hand from the broken observation window, rubbed his wrist and said, "Sorry, I had a conditioned reflex when I saw that smiling face."
"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"
A series of bloody handprints flew past the window, and Natasha followed the bloody handprints all the way to the top of the window in the room.
His black hair suddenly fell down, and his grimace slapped against the glass with a bang.
This time Natasha was really startled and took a step back, because this was a very typical jump-face scare.
But the next second, the infusion pole smashed the glass with a bang, and even bent the protective railing with a bang.
Natasha, who was under the window, grabbed the infusion pole with both hands and pushed it upwards. After a heart-wrenching sound of metal deformation, the infusion pole that originally extended out of the bracket had now turned into a bare spear.
Natasha exhaled and walked towards the door with the IV pole in hand.
Batman turned around to unlock her, but was pushed aside by Natasha.
Bang!!!
In the long dark corridor, a door panel flew to the opposite wall. Natasha pulled back her feet, holding a spear in her hand, and she turned to the left and glared to the right.
