If the elevator can be moved, then it is very likely that the elevator shafts on the 18 floors below may not all be in the same position. If Schiller wants to go down to the lobby, he may have to stack the positions of all the elevator shafts.
Align.
But if you want to leave the 19th floor, it is easier. Either align with the elevator shaft on the upper floor, or align with the elevator shaft on the lower floor. As long as you align one floor, you can at least take the elevator to leave the 19th floor. If you are lucky, you may be able to leave a few more
layer.
Schiller chose to align it with the elevator shaft below because most of the hotel's functional buildings are below, and the upper half of the entire hotel building is almost exclusively guest rooms, without much to explore.
What's more, it's easier to align with the bottom, because you can eliminate a lot of room with some tricks.
As we all know, water in most high-rise buildings is pumped up from the bottom. However, the capacity of water pumps in this era is limited. Generally speaking, it is not possible to directly pump to the 30th floor. Even if it can reach a very high water pressure, it is not feasible because the water flow is very slow.
Weak, almost unable to shower.
Therefore, many high-rise buildings will add a pressurized layer in the middle of the floor to repressurize the water from the pump and then transport it to the upper floors.
But no matter what, the middle floor does not produce water. Water is transported up through water pipes. The principle of water pipes is the same as that of elevator shafts. If the middle floor is cut off, the water will definitely not come up.
In other words, as long as there is water in this room, it proves that the water pipe downstairs has not been cut off, which also proves that the elevator shaft cannot be in this room, because there must be no water pipes in the elevator shaft. As long as it is in a certain location,
It will affect the operation of water pipes.
Of course, it is also possible that a room downstairs has been moved and the space has become vacant, causing the water pipe to break. However, a place without water does not necessarily prove that the elevator is there, and a place with water definitely proves that the elevator is not there.
Therefore, using the elimination method, there should be no elevator shaft downstairs in Schiller's room. The water in Gordon's room that Schiller entered was normal, which proves that the elevator shaft is not there either.
Combined with the water problems in hotels that have been demonstrated before, although they may not always manifest through the toilet, the contamination must be transmitted through the water.
In this way, it can be deduced that the room where the contaminated guest is located is likely to have water, which can basically exclude those rooms where the guest is confirmed to be contaminated. In this way, there will not be many rooms left.
.
Before zero o'clock, the suspects were 1900, 1913, 1902, 1904, and 1909.
Of course, before executing this plan, Schiller had already basically judged that 1900 and 1913 were unlikely to be the locations of the elevator shaft downstairs. Even if they were, Schiller couldn't put the elevator there. He still had to let the two monsters out.
The machine is stuck.
Then the only suspects are 1902, who saw an eyeball before, 1904, who had half a footprint at the door, and 1909, who Schiller had not seen.
1909 was eliminated first. Again, Schiller needed the monsters to collide in the corridor on the left. Room 1909 was too close to the collision place. Schiller was so shocked that his eardrums started to bleed when he stood in the middle. If he went to room 1909,
Changing the door number would make it almost impossible to rush into the elevator alive, so he had to rule it out.
The reason why 1909 was ruled out so easily was actually because Schiller used more clues to pinpoint 1904.
The house numbers on the doors of rooms 1900 and 1905 have been changed, and the positions of the two rooms have also been changed. Before the change of positions, 1900 was facing 1904.
Schiller had speculated before that such a change was probably because someone did not want 1900 to face 1904. If someone wanted to enter 1904 without being disturbed by the monsters in the 1900 room, it would make sense.
Of course, the final word was the half-footprint at the door of Room 1904. Before seeing Jerome's footprints through Peter's vision, Schiller didn't dare to make a bold guess, but after seeing the footprints,
Schiller knew that Jerome had an accomplice.
That's right, that footprint should not have been left by Jerome himself, but by one of his accomplices at this point in time.
Schiller guessed that the elevator cannot go back and forth between two points in time. To break through the constraints of the current point in time, some special methods need to be adopted, and no one has found this method so far.
Logically speaking, if you see two identical footprints, you will definitely guess that the other person has been here.
But Jerome's situation is very special. Because the footprints are exactly the same as his, Schiller will judge that there are his accomplices at this point in time, because in "Gotham", Jerome has a twin brother, which is Gotham.
The most dangerous criminal in the city, Jerome the Clown.
If nothing else, the investigator Bruce said was chasing him up and down was not Jerome, but his old enemy Jerome.
It's just that because these two people look exactly the same and may have shared the same identity at some point in time, it's impossible to find out their true identities.
When it comes to the Joker, Schiller knows it very well. If you don’t regard this as a script for the Cthulhu Mythos series, but instead focus on the American comics, then the Joker and Batman’s laws must be useful.
Little Bruce is free to send messages to himself thousands of miles away. There is no reason why he should not go to the Joker. Even though they are usually rivals, if something happens, the first person Batman thinks of is the Joker.
Now that something has really happened to Batman, it is impossible for the Joker to remain indifferent. It is not difficult to find this hotel. He is not an outsider like Schiller. He has to rush over after receiving the news, so he must have arrived earlier than Schiller.
A lot.
If Jerome was at that time, then Jerome must be at this time, so that Jerome would ask whether there was a delay in the communication between Peter and Schiller, because he also had a teammate who was at a different time.
At this point in time, the communication between the two may not be efficient enough.
And if Jerome is at this point in time, Schiller still believes in his research results. As a clown, he has a genius-like criminal wisdom, and as an investigator, he can chase little Bruce up and down. Since he is
There were footprints left on the door of room 1904, and Schiller chose to trust his judgment.
As expected, the clown was right again, the elevator shaft downstairs was indeed under room 1904.
And just because the clown was one step ahead of Schiller, Schiller suspected that he might have straightened out the position of the elevator shaft below, and the elevators on most floors had returned to normal operation.
But there was also a problem at the same time. The elevator was working normally. People entering the elevator could press the floor, and people outside the elevator could also press the floor. Schiller stared at the button for the 13th floor that was lit, feeling a little confused.
He wanted to go to the restaurant on the 7th floor, but he must go to the 13th floor first, but once the elevator door on the 13th floor opened, it was hard to say what came in, but Schiller couldn't make the elevator stop on the 13th floor.
The elevator descended very quickly and began to slow down in a blink of an eye. Schiller also made a decision. The second the elevator came to a complete stop, Schiller arched his body slightly.
bite!
As soon as the elevator door opened enough for an adult man to pass through, Schiller rushed out without looking, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he turned right and pressed against the dark wall on the right.
Suddenly, Schiller saw a bright light light up in the elevator door, almost lighting up the entire floor. The elevator, which originally had only four metal walls, seemed to suddenly turn into a magnificent glass palace, with every wall illuminated.
It is subdivided into countless reflective surfaces of glass, and Schiele's figure is reflected on them.
Schiller moved further inside to prevent the light from shining on him. The elevator door slowly closed, the light became weaker and weaker, and the figure reflected in the countless glass fragments gradually disappeared.
The elevator left.
Schiller knew that he had made the right choice. Staying in the elevator was courting death. However, one wave kept coming after another. Although he had escaped the danger in the elevator, he was now on the 13th floor and had to wait for the next wave.
The elevator arrives.
Bang!
A loud noise came from the end of the corridor on the right. Schiller thought the noise was a bit familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that this was not the sound of the monster in Room 1913 slamming into the door.
Bang! Bang bang!
There were three more sounds in a row, getting closer and louder, and the last sound sounded like the door was about to be smashed.
Schiller didn't care anymore and rushed towards the elevator and pressed the buttons frantically. At this time, the elevator panel showed that the elevator had reached the 7th floor and was returning.
Bang!!!!
A door was smashed.
Schiller did not choose to look back, but just stared at the elevator panel quietly. There were heavy footsteps behind him, clatter...crash...
The sound of the metal chains being dragged got closer and closer, and Schiller felt his heart beat faster, but this was not because he was nervous, but because some indescribable and indescribable atmosphere enveloped him.
Wow... Wow... Wow...
The footsteps stopped directly behind Schiller.
bite!
The elevator has arrived.
Schiller slowly closed his eyes, relied on his hearing to judge how far the elevator door was open, and then stepped into the elevator. He did not turn back to press the button, but stretched out a hand to feel for the button and pressed it.
Close key.
During the whole process, he neither opened his eyes nor turned around. When the elevator door was completely closed, Schiller still had his eyes closed when he turned around.
The elevator began to descend slowly.
Suddenly, bang!
Schiller froze suddenly, and the thing followed him to the elevator.
You must not open your eyes now, because the metal walls of the elevator are reflective and you cannot look directly at that thing. If you look at it, your eyeballs will definitely explode.
But just standing like this is not an option. There must be a reason why this thing didn't attack itself. Either the elevator restricted it, or it was distracted by something else, or maybe both.
Schiller now had two options.
The first option is to take advantage of the monster being suppressed by the elevator, and Schiller directly opens his eyes to see its true face and collide with it head-on. The second option is to have Schiller run away the next time the elevator opens the door.
Schiller sighed inwardly. Again, he was a civilian, and asking him to fight these monsters for 300 rounds was a bit too early - he was ready to run.
But running is also a problem. If this monster is chased out, without the suppression of the elevator, it is difficult to say whether Schiller's current health bar can survive.
Schiller took a deep breath, and suddenly he had a new idea, that is, he had to pray for a certain Batman's old enemy to have better luck and not to be hit head-on by him.
