After confirming the identities of the hunter and the priest, Schiller obtained a map that only the priest could see. It was a very detailed topographic map that depicted a bustling commercial street.
It is said to be a topographic map because it is a three-dimensional map, and it is a translucent image that appears directly in front of Schiller's eyes. He only needs to concentrate to see it, and anyone except him can see it.
Less than.
Compared to Schiller, Stark's safety is more worrying, but fortunately this place is not a deserted wilderness, but a prosperous city. When he discovered that the level of civilization here is close to or even higher than that of humans, Stark
We are already confident that we can build a usable armor here.
So his destination was the factory area, but it was far away, so he planned to find a car first to see if it could be started. There was a parking lot not far from here, so they were under the traffic light at the birth point.
We parted ways.
The map positioning is just where the business district is shown on the map. There just happens to be a tall building next to it. Schiller plans to go up there first and observe the surrounding terrain.
The interior of the high-rise building was filled with thick fog and was very dangerous. Schiller had no intention of entering. However, the advantage of this high-rise building was that it had an external staircase that could reach about the 9th to 10th floor.
Schiller walked quickly up the stairs without stopping, and in a short while he climbed to the sixth floor where he could overlook the distance.
Looking from afar, the entire city was in ruins, but Schiller soon discovered that the roads in this city were very narrow, even narrower than those in ancient European cities, or they were simply not for cars, but more like
Sidewalk or bicycle path.
However, some of the shorter buildings that can be seen that have not completely collapsed have flat roofs, and some facilities are installed on them, which look like helicopter landing pads.
It is very possible that air transportation facilities have become popular in this world, Schiller speculated and continued to move up.
When we reached about the 9th floor, we could no longer go up. The stair treads and handrails were already crumbling. From this height, we had an unobstructed view of the entire city.
Surprisingly, this city is not big, at least the urban area is very small. If you look closely, it is only as big as a district in New York. But without the roads, the buildings have become denser, and the various functional areas are all squeezed together. It is simply
Like a miniature model.
There seemed to be no residents in the city, but Schiller saw two black figures on the street not far away. He immediately held his breath because he recognized Superman among them.
When his abilities are not restricted, Superman's super vision, super hearing and other abilities are still there. Although the city is covered with fog, it is difficult to say whether Superman's super vision will still work.
This Superman is not wearing a uniform, but because the distance is too far, Schiller can't see his age clearly, so he can't deduce which universe's Superman he is from. The figure opposite him can vaguely see two pointed ears, which look like
It's Batman, but because it's too far away, I can't tell which Batman it is.
Things are a bit troublesome, Schiller thought. No matter who Batman is, he is a smart man. He can naturally think of problems that Schiller can think of. It is not that easy to deceive him.
Suddenly Schiller discovered that Superman and Batman were also going to split up their forces. It seemed that their plan was the same, with both of them pretending to be hunters.
This is interesting. If there is a smart person in each team, then there will be 12 hunters on the field. No one knows who is real and who is fake, so neither party dares to take action.
Schiller always felt that things would not be so simple, and that the organizers must have some other way to intensify conflicts.
As soon as he thought of this, he noticed that the map suddenly popped up, and a shining red arrow was marked on one of the buildings in the business district, with a totem pole pattern appearing above it.
Sure enough, the totem pole fragments are not found by luck. The location of the totem pole fragments will be clearly marked on the map that the priest gets. The priest who sees this scene will understand that the more maps he has, the greater the advantage.
Because totem poles can kill people directly.
Schiller suspected that the maps obtained by each priest would overlap, and sooner or later two priests would see the location of the same totem pole fragment.
Schiller no longer hesitated and hurried towards the location marked on his map. He had already determined the location of the commercial street when he looked at it before.
On the way, a plan gradually took shape in Schiller's mind.
The entire game is a large-scale practical experiment in the laws of the dark forest.
If everyone is a hunter, then they will start fighting as soon as they meet, because it is very important to seize the opportunity. But if there is a priest behind the hunter, and if the priest dies and the hunter dies, then the hunter’s first task becomes
Become a protective priest.
Assuming that everyone's estimate of the possible opponents they may encounter is both hunters and priests, then their desire to attack will not be very strong, because they can imagine that the hunters who protect the priests will not attack them proactively.
Then the plan of all pretending to be hunters can be carried out smoothly. When you see a person and realize that it is a hunter, you think of the priest behind him, and then you think that because you want to protect the priest from attacking, there is no need to attack, so be careful and leave.
That’s it.
But if there is something that must be snatched, this does not hold true. When two parties meet, they claim to be hunters, but as long as they come to snatch the totem pole fragments, it proves that the hunter wants his own priest to kill people.
It might be you, so you must not let him grab it, so you will launch an attack.
But Schiller thought of another thing, that is, how many totem pole fragments each person has is also a secret, and the priest with three totem pole fragments is the highest threat, because he even eliminates the hunter's attack process.
You can kill people directly.
According to this idea, it is a better choice to pretend to be a priest with three totem poles. As long as you make a move, I will curse you and kill you immediately. No one dares to bet on whether this is true.
But the problem now is that the game has only started for a few minutes, and no one with a brain can figure out that it is impossible for the priest to collect three totem pole fragments in these few minutes, so the threat will be easily exposed.
And Schiller's method was to fake it.
But forgery does not mean creating fake fragments. This can be easily seen through, because the priest can see the number of fragments he has obtained, but there is a lot that can be done about the step of cursing.
After rushing to the business district, Schiller immediately found the house with the totem pole fragments and obtained the totem pole fragments, which were relatively short cylinders. It seemed that three stacked together could form a complete priest totem.
.
After getting the totem fragment, he should have immediately started looking for other information, but Schiller stood there and looked at the fragment carefully for about two or three minutes, and then moved very purposefully towards the possible information displayed on the map of the business district.
We walked past the supermarket.
Sure enough, the largest and flattest house with a three-story parking lot underground is a large supermarket, but all the items on it are in a script that Schiller doesn't recognize. It doesn't look like it's a script used by any race on earth. That means
The people living in this city should be near-Earth civilizations.
Schiller speculated from the architectural appearance he had seen before that this civilization was not much different from humans and must have achieved considerable artistic achievements and had corresponding art education.
Sure enough, Schiller found something similar to paint in the supermarket, except that the paints here were spray cans, consisting of a bottle on his back and a spray gun.
Schiller picked out a few cans of paint, and found a mop-like rag and a long pick pole in the daily necessities area, as well as some plates and bowls for mixing paint.
About half an hour later, Batman, who was separated from Clark, saw a huge magic circle on the roof of the building that was the only way to the area he owned on the map.
Batman has always liked to occupy the commanding heights. Firstly, because he has a wide field of vision and can observe the surrounding terrain well; secondly, standing higher can see the movements of more threatening entities in advance, so he always walks on the roof of the building.
.
He was wearing a bat suit, so he had a variety of hooks and could also perform temporary gliding. He had just used the hooks to board a taller building than the one he was standing on before, and what appeared in front of him was
An extremely complex pattern.
This pattern occupies almost the entire roof of the building. The whole is a concentric circle. There is a huge word in the center of the concentric circle, and the surroundings are densely packed with small words, and there are many similar but completely different small symbols.
Different gestures are linked together.
As soon as Batman walked over, he noticed that the paint was not dry yet. This pattern had obviously just appeared.
Soon Batman was attracted by the text in the center. He silently memorized all the words and symbols on the entire array in his mind, and continued to rush non-stop to the totem pole fragment shown on his map.
The place.
Batman also obtained the first totem pole fragment without any danger, but as soon as he took the fragment into his hand, he discovered that the patterns and words on the totem pole fragment were similar to those on the huge magic circle he had just seen.
.
In other words, they are just a set of patterns and writing systems, which are exactly the same from the way of writing to the rules of strokes.
Batman immediately took the totem pole fragments and returned to where the huge magic circle was, and began to compare the words and patterns on them one by one.
This was indeed a pattern. It didn't take long before Batman discovered that all the words and patterns on the totem pole in his hand appeared on the magic circle, but they only accounted for one-third of the information in the magic circle.
The information on one totem pole fragment is one-third of the array, and there are exactly three totem pole fragments. This cannot be a coincidence.
Batman took out the product packaging that he had picked up in the roadside window before, and took a look at the place full of words on it. He found that the words used by this group of aliens were the same as those on the totem poles and the magic circle.
The words are related, but different.
This may be the ancient writing of aliens. Batman speculated that the writing and patterns on totem poles and magic circles evolved into the writing used by aliens today.
There is enough text on the product packaging to allow Batman to decipher the meaning of part of the text, but he obviously does not have so much time to do this.
Of course, Batman also thought about the fact that the organizers did not announce the victory conditions. He thought this might also be related to the danger deep in the fog, but the first thing he had to do now was to get the three totem fragments.
His idea is similar to Schiller. A complete totem pole is equivalent to a nuclear weapon. It does not necessarily have to be launched to kill people, but it can allow others to act according to Batman's will.
Taking another look at the totem pole fragments, Batman believed that this magic circle must be related to the totem pole.
