No wonder I saw a figure standing in the window of another hotel when I first arrived at the hotel. That should be me now.
But this figure then disappeared and never appeared again. What would happen if I had been standing here all the time?
Schiller heard a noise coming from the bathroom.
He turned and stared at the bathroom for a while, then finally walked over and pushed open the bathroom door. The toilet was intact and seemed to have been repaired. The sound was coming from the drain of the bathtub.
Gulu gulu gulu...
Schiller remembered that when he first arrived in the room, he found that the drain of the bathtub was not so clear. Now the noise was more intense, as if something was ventilating underneath.
Gulugulugulugulugulu...
Schiller felt his head hurt more and more, and his vision began to darken. He desperately covered his ears and ran towards the bathroom door. The sound chased him for a while, and it was not until he returned to the living room that he finally calmed down.
There seemed to be no hallucination monsters in the room, and the toilet was fine, as if this was just an ordinary hotel.
That's not the case. Schiller leaned against the door and took a breath for a while. He felt that he was getting weaker and weaker. There was a thought in the dark that reminded him that he didn't have much time.
"Where am I???"
When Schiller stood up, he fell down on the coffee table, knocking over the coffee table, and the contents on it were scattered all over the floor. The mineral water bottle fell on the floor, and the water spilled out and soaked the carpet.
Countless bubbles rose in the water.
Schiller seemed to suddenly realize something. He began to concentrate hard. Countless pictures passed through his mind. He used his last strength to rush to the window.
Open the window, and outside the window is a staircase of bones extending upward.
Schiller took out the knife from his pocket and struck the bottom support hard.
Wow!
The bones shattered in response, and the entire staircase of bones collapsed. The moment Schiller looked up, he saw two figures standing up suddenly on the roof of the opposite building, and then he completely lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, Schiller suddenly spat out two mouthfuls of water, lay on the ground and coughed violently. In his hazy eyes, he saw the faces of Jerome and Cobot.
Lying nearby not far away was Gordon who was soaked all over.
Schiller turned over with great effort, and through the dim moonlight, he could clearly see that there was a straight pool of water in front of him, and at the end of the pool was a huge swimming pool.
At this time, the moonlight is shining on the surface of the swimming pool, the breeze is blowing, the waves are sparkling, and the light on the water is woven into a large silver-white net, constantly floating and swinging...
Next to him, Gordon coughed hard and spit out all the water he had choked in. He said in a hoarse voice: "I told you earlier, this thing is very dangerous..."
Schiller lay flat on the roof of the building and looked at the moon without saying a word.
Is Wayne Manor the real Wayne Manor? Is the metal real metal? Is Naija the real Naija?
If they were all fake, Schiller looked at the wound on his right shoulder, where did it come from?
Suddenly he reached into the pocket of his coat. There was a knife there. Schiller took the knife out, but found that it was not the ordinary knife in Jerome's hand at all, but the one he had used to pry screws.
A vibranium knife.
It was still stained with his own blood.
So the pool is just like room 1905, with a hallucinating monster in it?
No, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Schiller's eyes suddenly turned to Gordon. He got up from the ground and walked towards Gordon. Before Cobot and Jerome could react, Schiller inserted the knife directly.
In Gordon's head.
Schiller forcefully pried open Gordon's skull, took out a piece of silver-gray metal from his head, threw it to the ground, and cursed.
When he turned his eyes to glare at Jerome and Cobot, they both trembled.
At the cost of almost drowning, the swimming pool gave him a bad ending.
"Hand over your metal." Schiller held the knife and gasped for breath while covering the wound on his shoulder, but he stared at Jerome and Cobot and said: "Your plan full of loopholes will not
Success, I won’t let Naiya have another chance to laugh at me.”
The black manager's smile was a silent mockery, signaling the worst possible outcome - everything would be business as usual, but they would never be able to escape the entanglement of the evil god.
Gordon, whose head had been cut open, was still alive, but his words shook Jerome and Cobot. The police chief sighed helplessly and said: "Give it to him. We didn't succeed in the end, and the city recovered."
We have lost our previous 'peaceful' appearance, but the evil god is looking for each of us."
Jerome and Cobot were hesitant, but Schiller obviously didn't want to wait for them to hesitate. Cobot didn't react at all, but Schiller had already rushed in front of him and stabbed him in the calf with a knife.
But what flowed out was not blood, but a wine-red liquid that reflected metallic light.
"ah!!!!"
Cobot let out a scream, and the pool water that Schiller was carrying fell on him and dripped into his eyes. Cobot froze, as if he had seen some incredible scene.
He suddenly turned around and pushed Schiller away. Schiller found that his strength was much stronger, and it seemed that his self-protection instinct was activated, but it was not because of the knife he stabbed.
A few seconds later, Cobot's body went limp, his pupils dilated, and he said tremblingly: "Fish...Fish is...the Queen in Red..."
Schiller immediately remembered that the Red Queen was also an incarnation of Naia, and it seemed that she was the one Cobot met in the end.
He turned to Gordon and asked, "Who is the alien god who came to you?"
"A baron," Gordon replied.
"Baron Samedi." Schiller added: "The god of death in voodoo, one of the incarnations of Nyarlathotep."
Schiller got up from the ground and ignored the frightened Cobot. He directly grabbed Jerome, carried him and pushed his head into the swimming pool.
Gulu gulu gulu gulu...
It turns out that the gurgling sound made by the bathtub is the sound of people exhaling. The moment you can't help exhaling, you are basically drowning. The next step is choking on water, and then drowning.
After realizing that Jerome had exhausted all his breath, Schiller pulled him up, and Jerome turned pale.
"Who did you see?"
"A man covered in pitch black. From his skin to his lips, everything is black. Only his eyes are a little bright."
"The dark one, who brings dark edicts to witches and cultists, is also one of the incarnations of Nyarlathotep."
Jerome spit out two pieces of water and sat by the swimming pool. He looked at Cobot and said, "Give him the metal. This plan is meaningless to Nyarlathotep and cannot deal with the Outer Gods at all."
Cobot opened his mouth, but in the end, he cut the muscles in his legs and let all the wine-red metal flow out.
Suddenly, Peter sent a message.
"Doctor, the hotel is starting to change, but now I...oh my god, what is that????"
Schiller immediately realized that the hotel Peter was in was indeed in the future.
If the outcome for all of them is that their plan succeeds, but they fail to truly contact Nyarlathotep, then the outcome is that everything returns to peace, but this calm is only superficial, and all of them will be found by the incarnation of the alien god.
He met the Black Pharaoh, Gordon met Baron Samedi, Cobot met the Red Queen, and Jerome met the man of darkness.
This means that although they did restore peace to Gotham as planned, they also suffered the eternal curse of Nyarlathotep, and these incarnations will haunt them until the end of time and space.
The situation in Peter's hotel is exactly the same as this future, and it is the same as the future that Schiller saw in the swimming pool. It seems to have returned to calm, but in fact everything is weird, but no useful clues can be grasped. You will live in this world forever.
Under terrible fear.
Now, Schiller has collected the metal in advance, which means that they have given up the plan to go to the ancient city, and the future has been changed, but it is difficult to detect what the future has become just through Peter's experience.
Want to go into the pool again?
As soon as Schiller put his hand into the swimming pool, he realized something was wrong. The water in the swimming pool no longer had normal buoyancy. If he went in again this time, he would sink directly to the bottom. He might only be able to stay in there for a dozen seconds.
Moreover, after entering the water, he will be completely trapped in the illusion, and someone must pull him up. He will not be able to escape by himself.
Do you want to take a gamble and see how this ends?
As soon as Schiller thought of this, Peter sent him a lot of photos. Schiller saw that they were pictures of monsters that appeared in the hotel of the future.
As soon as the monster appeared, Schiller knew that this was another bad ending, because the monster's body shone with a layer of metallic luster, which was exactly the same as the luster of amber gold, which meant that the pool containing amber gold underground in the ancient city was out of control.
, and may even pollute the entire Gotham.
If Schiller guessed correctly, this ending may be that in order to deal with Naija, they had no choice but to let amber gold spread throughout Gotham along the sewers. Gotham people do have antibodies, but no matter how strong the antibodies are, they cannot withstand this dose.
So they all turned into monsters similar to the Claws of the Court of Owls.
This may be another deception by Nyarlathotep, making them think there is a chance to deal with him, but in fact everything is just like the first ending, just a cunning scam.
Naiya's pleasure is to see people in pain and despair, so he will not directly kill people, but use this method to deceive, give hope, and then end hope.
Schiller had to admit that when the black manager smiled at him, he felt an unspeakable horror and despair.
Obviously there are no monsters, everything is so peaceful and peaceful, it seems like he is just an ordinary person, and his smile is just right and friendly, but it makes people feel deep despair.
He looked at the swimming pool again, and when he learned that the water in the Reckless Party was actually amber gold, he knew that this hallucinogenic thing was not created by the four major families at all.
In other words, this swimming pool that can see the ending also belongs to Nyarlathotep.
Thirty-six strategies, focusing on attacking the heart, Naiya seemed determined that no matter how they looked at it, they would never find a good ending.
Schiller suddenly thought that this might be his purpose.
Martha also disappeared into the swimming pool. Perhaps she also discovered that this swimming pool could see different futures. She tried over and over again, but she could never find a future where she could be saved.
Drowning is very painful for humans and can be regarded as one of the most painful ways to die.
But just for the glimmer of hope without even knowing whether it is a scam, humans are willing to plunge themselves into mountains of swords and seas of fire thousands of times.
When they spend their limited lives in infinite pain, weave a rope with their own hands to strangle themselves, and when they take their last breath, they are looking forward to the arrival of light, but know that they will always rot in the darkness.
, the burst of pain and despair was the highest satisfaction and enjoyment for Nyarlathotep.
This is really much more exciting than that piece of shit, Schiller thought, good, this is my reward after working hard on playing shit.
Schiller took out a red candle with only half of it left, lit it, and silently recited the name of manipulation in his heart.
After a moment of stiffness, Schiller slowly stood up and looked at the sparkling water, only showing a gentle smile.
ending?
You guys too overestimate the size of Schiller's mind. How can this end if Naiya is so arrogant and doesn't treat him?!
