Schiller showed the diary to others, and their opinions were similar to Schiller's, and they all agreed that the owner of the diary might have died somewhere.
Moreover, a very important piece of information recorded in the diary is that one family's goat was lost. It seems that all the abnormalities started from this incident.
Goats have always been known as synonymous with demons. In addition to their strange appearance and square pupils, black goats do look very much like demons when they stand.
Judging from the contents of the diary, a goat was lost and then found again, but it was probably not found alive, so the owner stewed the goat.
As a result, everyone who drank the goat's stew went crazy.
Does the arrival of the prowler have something to do with this goat? Or is it because the prowler came, so the goat was lost, and those people ate the contaminated goat, so they went crazy?
There is currently not enough evidence to speculate on what happened, but Schiller still said: "The diary may not only contain clues to the main plot, but may also be reminding us of something."
"You mean let us leave quickly?" Batman from the main universe asked.
Schiller shook his head and said: "Animals, don't forget that the owner of the diary also found that there were no fish when he went fishing. This means that the prowler may be able to affect the animals."
"We can't trust any animal." Greedy said, "Whether it's a cat or a dog, or even an insect or a snake, they may all be related to the Prowler."
"What are those things?" The pale knight standing there frowned and murmured to himself. He said, "Are they really difficult to deal with?"
"Not necessarily." Schiller said: "This is just a remote village, and there may not be any real professionals. It may not be the power of the Prowlers that caused the tragedy, but their own ignorance and weakness."
The pale knight just nodded slightly, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking. Compared to the clown next to him who was squatting on the ground studying the carpet pattern, he looked normal.
The kitchen door was finally opened. As soon as the door opened, Schiller smelled an extremely unpleasant fishy smell. He immediately covered his nose, and everyone else took a few steps back.
Night Owl and Main Universe Batman, who were standing at the front, were very careful not to be exposed directly in front of the door. Instead, they stood behind the wall on the left and right and looked inside.
They saw a fish, a big red fish, a big red fish with 24 ribs.
Batman in the main universe instantly turned his head to look at Schiller, and Bruce turned his head faster than him.
Schiller had not seen the scene in the room at this time, because the unpleasant smell made him dizzy. Logically speaking, he would not have such a reaction, but maybe due to the restrictions of the game, his various attributes
All have been weakened.
Schiller took a few steps forward and saw the big fish hanging in the center of the kitchen.
It was an extremely strong man nearly two meters tall. He was hanging head-down in the middle of the kitchen, but he had no legs and arms. His whole body was like a fish that was wide in the middle and narrow on the sides. His eyes were wide open.
Yes, his expression was indifferent and a little strange.
There was blood on his body, mainly concentrated around the missing feet and arms. It should be blood loss caused by the loss of limbs, but other than that, there were no obvious external injuries. It seemed that the cause of death was excessive blood loss.
But obviously there's something very wrong with this, because that's not how human corpses smell.
Schiller discovered that the belly of the corpse was exceptionally large.
Worried about triggering another fight, Main Universe Batman and Nite Owl walked in front. Main Universe Batman poked the body lightly with a shotgun, but there was no reaction. It seemed that this person was completely dead.
Schiller walked to the side and picked up a kitchen knife. Before he started, he said to the Transcendent in his mind: "I'm not going to dissect, I just want to cut open his belly. Don't tell me this."
Throw the dice."
The Transcendent did not respond, but seemed to have acquiesced that there was no need to throw the dice. Schiller slashed with his knife, and countless rotting fish corpses flowed out of the man's stomach, and the stench filled the sky.
Now the others couldn't bear it anymore. Except for Batman and Nite Owl, who had twitching expressions, everyone else began to vomit.
Schiller didn't look very good either. The smell of rotting fish was simply a form of torture, much worse than the smell of putrid human bodies.
But Schiller still endured the unpleasant smell and used a sharp kitchen knife to rummage among the piles of fish carcasses.
He found several human toe bones.
Then he found more bone fragments. He stood up and stared at the rotten pile and said, "He ate his own limbs."
"What?" Greedy asked.
"I mean, his missing limbs were in his stomach."
"Ugh!" Greedy began to vomit again.
Schiller groped for the wooden handle of the kitchen knife with his hand. He stood there thoughtfully. He walked around to the back of the corpse and found that there were obvious traces of friction on the back of the corpse. It was wet, dirty, and stained with some
Unidentified grass clippings.
Schiller reached out and took down a relatively complete grass clipping, and immediately realized that this thing was not an ordinary herb, but a reed leaf.
Has the body been to the water?
But why are the marks of friction on the back?
Schiller looked up again at the corpse's missing feet. At this time, Batman said aloud: "None of them walked on their feet."
Of course, Schiller also discovered the similarities between the two corpses. The first corpse walked upside down, and the second corpse simply had no legs. Both corpses had moved long distances before death, but neither of them had any legs.
Use both feet.
Is this a Prowler habit?
Schiller is more willing to believe that it is not that the Prowler cannot completely control human corpses, but that he can only do this. He cannot use his feet. Why?
Schiller raised his question, and others discussed it. Bruce was the first to say: "Maybe his shape is different from humans. In his opinion, his feet are not used for moving."
The Pale Knight seemed to agree with this speculation. He said: "These strange monsters must have different body usage habits from humans. Maybe they don't understand what walking is."
"No." Batman from the main universe said, "If he couldn't walk, then the first corpse wouldn't have walked backwards."
This silenced everyone, because Batman was right, the first corpse was just upside down, but judging from the wear and tear on the scalp, this monster could walk on two legs, at least in this posture.
Move here in the snow.
Judging from the friction marks on the back of the second body, he may have been lying on the ground and moved here from somewhere near the water.
Could it be that the same monster controls both of them?
Now that they can't find the answer, they naturally can only look for more clues individually. The door from the kitchen to the staircase corridor next door is not locked, but no one rushes upstairs. Basically everyone endures the stench and looks for clues in the kitchen.
Schiller saw the fish basket in the corner of the room and found the same reed clippings inside, which meant that the deceased had indeed come from the river bank, and he might have gone fishing.
This corpse is probably the owner of the diary, Schiller thought.
Schiller found some fake baits in the drawer. It looked like they were handmade and a little rough, but they might be very useful. Schiller was not good at lure fishing, so he asked the clown to take these baits.
Bruce found some footprints at the junction of the kitchen and the stairwell, which were obviously the footprints of a living person.
This is not very unexpected. The main reason is that if there is no third person, the second body cannot be hung from the beam. After all, it even has no arms and legs. How can it be possible to hang itself up?
"Discover the clue." said the Transcendent.
"I want to take a closer look." Schiller immediately walked over and said, and a dice appeared in front of him.
"Wisdom check 20."
The dice drew an arc in the air and landed on the ground at 12. Adding Schiller's 10 points of wisdom attribute, the test passed at 22 points.
Finally succeeding once, Schiller sighed.
Some information immediately appeared in his mind. Through the pattern of the shoes, he could see that this was a woman who was overweight and had slightly high shoulders when she walked. Moreover, she walked in a hurry and ran very fast.
Schiller told this information, and several people immediately looked up to look upstairs. It is known that there is only one staircase in this house. If there are only footprints going up but no coming down, it means that the person is probably still upstairs, but it is
It's hard to say whether he will live or die.
"ah!!!!!!"
The sharp screams broke the tranquility in the room, and the people downstairs rushed up the stairs without any hesitation.
Having someone alive is the greatest good news.
Main universe Batman took the lead and rushed directly to the corridor on the second floor.
Bang!
There was a gunshot, but no one fired, followed by the sound of glass breaking.
These noises were too obvious, so Batman from the main universe rushed directly to the innermost room on the second floor. As soon as he opened the door, a fat middle-aged white woman wearing a headscarf held a revolver and pointed the gun straight at it.
Close the window.
"It's coming! It's coming!!!" the woman shouted randomly, even pointing the gun directly at Batman.
Batman had no choice but to hide outside the door to avoid the sharp attack.
"Where's the psychiatrist?!" Batman in the main universe shouted towards the corridor: "Come here quickly, there are patients here who need your comfort!"
Greedy, who was rushing towards the third one, turned around and shouted: "Where's the psychiatrist?!"
Bruce behind him turned around and shouted: "Where's the psychiatrist?!"
Schiller, who had just climbed the stairs, looked at him indifferently.
It took Bruce a while to react, "Oh, wait, I'm a psychiatrist, here I come, the psychiatrist is here!"
He quickly ran into the room, saw the black muzzle of the gun and stopped suddenly, turned to the main universe Batman outside the door and said: "You didn't say she had a gun!"
"She doesn't have a gun and why should I use you?!"
Bruce choked and quickly stretched out his hands and said: "Calm down, madam, you are safe now. We are here to protect you. I think you can put the gun down and let's talk..."
Bang!
He was answered by another gunshot. The woman seemed to have gone insane and fired a shot at the curtain.
When they couldn't talk about anything, Bruce turned back and waved his hand towards Batman of the main universe and said, "It's better you do it."
Batman in the main universe then raised his shotgun and aimed it at the woman's head, but the woman was still dazed and kept muttering something like "It's coming, it's coming" without any other reaction.
"Do you know psychoanalysis?" Greedy asked, but strangely, the person he was asking was Bruce.
Bruce nodded and said, "Yes, I have learned some."
Schiller added in his mind: "Whether you have learned it or not is another matter."
"It's impossible for her to ask something in this mental state. Please analyze it." Greed pointed at the woman and said.
"Uh..." Bruce drawled and said, "I'm not good at it, maybe... okay, I'll give it a try."
Bruce activated the skill, but there was no response. He called the Transcendent twice in his mind, and the Transcendent said helplessly: "Basic skills are the theoretical knowledge in your mind. You have to analyze it yourself."
"What?!"
When Bruce looked up, he saw Schiller leaning against the door with a "I want to see what you can say" expression on his face.
