Chapter 2805 The Forbidden Zone of Strange Demons (1)
There was only one table left in the restaurant.
Schiller and Jerome sat opposite each other, and in the center of the table were plates after plates of freshly baked, steaming meals.
The chef has long since disappeared.
Jerome ate the food on the plate leisurely, his eyes were on the extinguished red candle, he showed a slight smile, and then said: "Compared to your superb cooking performance just now,
, it doesn’t matter how the food tastes, here’s to this night.”
Schiller also raised his glass, showed a smile, and gently fiddled with the food on the plate. Although he was full from gluttony, he was still hungry.
He noticed Jerome's gaze and looked at the red candle at hand. He shook his head, picked up the candle and put it into the briefcase. Jerome saw that there were two identical red candles in the briefcase.
, and three white candles.
Jerome cast a doubtful look.
Schiller shook his head and said: "I remember I once said that I came from All Souls College, Oxford University."
"I only heard about this recently, I mean, I just came into contact with your world recently." Jerome tapped his lips with a fork and said: "What should I call you, magician? wizard? Or?
What kind of elf?"
"I am not an elf or a magician, I am a bishop." Schiller cut off a piece of meat neatly and said, "I do have some abilities that are different from ordinary people, but they are far from as magical as magic."
Jerome lowered his head and looked at the food on the plate, and what he wanted to say was self-evident.
"I'm not kidding. You might think I've attracted a demon, but that's not the case. It's just a part of me."
"You might as well have summoned a demon." Jerome commented pertinently: "What do you want to say? Such a terrifying demon is just a part of you?"
Schiller shook his head again and said: "It's just a precautionary measure."
Although he said this to Jerome, Schiller still recalled what happened when he distributed his body in his mind.
Each personality trait has a body, and the thinking tower is placed in the original body as a server. All other bodies rely on brain waves to stream to the main server to obtain thinking and other abilities. Everyone's physique is better
It leans towards Schiller's previous life, which means adding some strength and inspiration.
However, there are some exceptions for some personality traits. The superego gives the energy of the system to the magical side personality traits, so although their physiques are not much higher than ordinary people, they are all allocated a certain amount of energy, so naturally there are people other than ordinary people.
ability.
The bishop's ability is not so much magic as summoning souls. The red and white candle in his hand is actually the energy of the system. Once the candle is lit, the system will build a soul-calling channel to connect other brainwave streams.
Come here and let other personality traits log in remotely.
The white candle summons the normal state, and the red candle summons the pathological state. While the candle is lit, in addition to spending some energy to maintain the channel, additional energy will be used as a sacrifice. Other personality traits that receive the sacrifice will be affected.
Possess some magical attributes, similar to skill points that can be allocated freely.
For example, gluttony can allow you to digest food infinitely, manipulation can allow you to gain the power to defeat the chef, and if you are arrogant or greedy, you can also make an umbrella, or simply leave it intact.
Bring the sacrifices back.
The abilities of other magic-side personalities are different. The bishop has never really used magic no matter which life he is in, so he chooses to turn the energy of the system into props and summon other personalities to help him pass some difficulties.
More than half of one red candle has been used. The next time I try it out, I think it will only last half as long as this time. The consumption level of the remaining two red candles will be similar to this time. Considering the danger of this universe, I still have to save money.
Use it wisely.
"Tell me what you know about the hotel?" Schiller asked proactively. This time he rescued Jerome. If the other party didn't give something in return, there would be no need to continue the cooperation.
Jerome still seemed to want to know more about the candle, but he knew that such things were often accompanied by unknown dangers. Even if Schiller told him the specific situation, he would not believe it.
It was a trap laid by the other party, and he didn't have any confidence that he could snatch this thing from Schiller's hands, so even if the candle was useful, this matter had to be put aside later.
Schiller is a rare partner, and Jerome knows this. He is just an ordinary person who is struggling in this hotel. If he misses Schiller, it will be difficult to find another one.
Jerome pondered for a moment and then said: "All the changes started 20 days ago. It wasn't just the hotel that had problems, the whole Gotham started to change."
"I received definite news that there might be news about the source of the mutation in the hotel, so I chased after it. But unfortunately, my luck was not good. I was delayed for too long on the 19th floor. As a result, after I came out, the hotel
The changes are irreversible."
Schiller thought to himself, as expected, the half of the footprints in front of the door of room 1904 was left by Jerome. Without this reminder, it is not easy to figure out the rules of the elevator. Jerome is still a
A thorough ordinary person, it is normal for him to take such a long time.
So it seems that he and Jerome did not come to the hotel at the same time. It is very likely that Jerome came a few days after the mutation broke out in the hotel, and Jerome came later, just like himself and others.
The hotel you came to, so it will appear in the future timeline.
But the problem is that I am also a later one, so why did I mistakenly enter the past timeline? Is there anything special about me?
"After leaving from the 19th floor, I did not choose to go to the restaurant immediately because there was a problem with the elevator, so I had to explore every few floors."
After Jerome finished speaking, he lifted up the hem of his shirt. His abdomen was wrapped with a bandage. Schiller smelled a very faint smell of blood. He knew that if an ordinary person wanted to survive in such a situation, he would have to go through many life and death tests.
.
Jerome put down his clothes and continued: "Actually, I didn't know the restaurant was on this floor. I entered here by mistake. I don't know if you saw the monster in the elevator when you took the elevator down. I call it Wan.
Hua Jing, when every fragment of it reflects your appearance, you will be completely lost in the glass maze."
Schiller thought of the bright monster he saw in the elevator. It should be the Wanhua Mirror that Jerome said. It looked more dangerous than he imagined.
"I was targeted by it at that time." Jerome said: "It wanted to pull me into the mirror, so I had to avoid all reflective objects as much as possible. At that time, I rushed out of the elevator and had nowhere to go.
Just like you, I brought this monster to the door of the restaurant."
Schiller nodded. He knew that there were two forces in the hotel. The two parties restrained each other. If they wanted to get rid of one party's entanglement, they could only use the other party. Jerome's thinking was the same as his own.
"I rushed into the restaurant, and the monster didn't chase me anymore, but I encountered an even more terrifying situation. The chef created endless reincarnations here, and in each round there were people chasing me in various ways.
Die and go back to the restaurant."
"Have you ever died?"
"Of course not, I'm very cautious." Jerome cut a piece of vegetable leaf and said: "The chef made a very fatal mistake. He would return to the kitchen after every dish. Maybe he thought that I would eventually
He will die here, so he is not cautious enough."
Schiller frowned, and Jerome didn't intend to give in. He continued: "Your guess is generally correct. The rules of the restaurant are very simple. They also appeared at the beginning of the mutation. The chef was later
An intruder, but the monster is not upstairs, but right next door to the kitchen."
"Those nerves on the ceiling spread from the back kitchen. The chef is just one of the puppets controlled by these nerves. There is a restraint relationship between the restaurant and the chef. Now the restaurant is closed, but the owner of these nerves does not intend to let go.
"
Schiller looked up at the ceiling. It seemed that it was not his illusion. The neural network on the ceiling had changed, but it did not become more dense. It just seemed that the neural structures were more real, and some peripheral nerves were not shown originally.
also appeared.
Does this guy want to swallow the restaurant directly?
"The consequences of losing balance are very terrible." Jerome continued: "I am not being alarmist, because I have seen such a situation with my own eyes. Once one of the two parties that are balancing each other is completely defeated and swallowed up, what will happen to the life of the two parties?
The side that comes down will be unimaginably powerful."
"They can eat each other?" This is new information for Schiller, but it is not good news. Logically speaking, there is no such thing as leveling in the Cthulhu mythology system, and there is no difference between anomalies and anomalies.
If any connection can be upgraded by devouring others, then all the legendary investigators can be upgraded to outer gods.
"At least that's the news I got." Jerome's tone didn't sound like he was lying. He said, "I know there may be some unknown news within your magic world, but I must tell you, you can't do it here.
Based on common sense, everything happening here is too bizarre."
Schiller also nodded. He knew that this hotel should not be viewed as a pure Cthulhu mythology system, because in addition to Naiya being involved in it, there was also a little Bruce.
Batman is the spokesperson for the order side. No matter who he is, Batman is very good at establishing rules. If all the changes are caused by him, then it is not surprising that there are rules among these abnormalities that can be grasped by humans.
"The root cause is in the kitchen." Schiller muttered and said, "It's not that I don't believe your intelligence, but it's not a good idea to rush in like this. I need more information."
Jerome could understand, and he didn't expect Schiller to be fooled into it, but he had to rely on the magician's power, otherwise he alone would not be able to enter the kitchen or leave the hotel in this life.
After Jerome weighed it, he still came up with his trump card. He said: "What if there is not a monster in the kitchen, but a person?"
"one person?"
"Yes, there is a person. There is a contaminated person hidden in every public facility in this hotel. They are the owners of this public facility. And if nothing else, they are not completely irrational, and many of them can still communicate.
"
This reminded Schiller of James Gordon, the key figure in setting up the sound trap. Jerome probably also met him on the 19th floor, but the exploration of other floors gave Jerome more information.
intelligence.
Do you want to believe what he says?
Schiller thought about it. There was almost no truth in this born bad guy. He said he had never died, but who knew if it was true?
If he died here, then he sitting here now would be just like James Gordon, just a puppet, part of some terrible trap, and Schiller didn't want to be fooled.
Suddenly, Schiller recalled that when he was ringing to call the deceased, the ringing sound was exactly the same as that of the elevator, which meant that the restaurant and the elevator monster might be on the same side.
Is going to the back kitchen a trap the restaurant has set for itself?
