"What's wrong with you?" Ye Xiao was the first to raise his head. He frowned and looked at Bruce with some confusion.
Bruce's scream just now was too miserable, but now it seems that he was not injured at all, and there seemed to be nothing here that could attack him mentally.
But at this time, Jeff said: "It must be him, he must be possessed by the Prowler! The possessed person will scream like this when he is about to be killed! You guys hurry up and find a way to tie him up."
!”
Night Owl still suppressed Jeff tightly and did not let him make any move, but he also had doubts, but Bruce suddenly turned his head, his eyes blank.
Schiller and Greedy both thought of something at the same time. Schiller was taking bullets for himself and couldn't get away. Greedy had to walk next to Bruce, reached out and held his shoulder and said, "Did you see something?"
?”
"You should ask me what else I can see." Bruce muttered to himself: "I can't see anything clearly now, what is all this?!"
"Tell me what you saw, and maybe I can help you analyze it."
"I can't describe it." Bruce shook his head and said, "I can't see the rooms, objects, or people, just a bunch of messy lines and color blocks."
Greedy and Schiller looked at each other, Greedy snickered, and then said: "When did this situation start?"
"Just now." Bruce hinted: Greed knew that he must have raised his psychoanalysis skill to level three.
"There may be something wrong with your mental state." Greedy said, "I think it will be fine if you take a rest."
Bruce walked to the side again with a confused look on his face, and bumped into the clown who was leaning against the wall eating. He could only say sorry, and then sat down next to the clown.
Judging from his reaction, you can tell that he must not be able to see anything.
At this moment, Schiller felt the sound of wind passing by his ears, and with a pop, Jeff's head and chest were split into two halves, and the Nite Owl who was holding him down also lost half of it.
arm.
Everything happened so suddenly that Ye Xiao didn't have time to hide. He first took a breath of cold air, then staggered back a few steps, looking at his half-remaining right hand with a gloomy expression.
Now, there are three Batmans in total, one is dying, one is blind, and one is disabled.
Despite this, Schiller quickly brought a bandage to stop the bleeding of Night Owl. The amputation operation was perfect and the incision was quite smooth, which facilitated the bandaging. The bleeding was stopped before excessive blood loss.
The right arm is indeed still there, but in the current situation, it is unrealistic to reattach the arm, so this is the only way.
Looking at Night Owl's previous behavior, he was right-handed. Now that his right arm has been amputated, his mobility will be greatly reduced.
Schiller couldn't help but think of the times when the wind blade appeared. If this was really the work of the Prowler, then this monster was more cunning than he thought.
Jeff died simply because he didn't know if his body would move, so Schiller simply dragged his body and threw it out of the lighthouse through the gate.
Through the gate, you can see the snow-covered village in the distance, but because it is too far away, you can't see clearly whether there are any people moving, but there is only a sense of deathly desolation in the ice and snow.
Everyone decided to make some hot food to replenish their energy. Although there were no normal pots, tin cans and bottles could also be used as pots. It would be no problem if they just cooked some things.
While eating, Schiller began to sort out the clues he had obtained so far, and thought about what was going on.
At this point in the game, Schiller realized a problem, that is, not everyone was as arrogant and only focused on quarreling with the Transcendent in the early stages of the game.
Of course, that doesn't mean that the questions asked by Arrogance are useless, but most of them are about the basic gameplay of the game and don't involve much about the world view of the world.
Schiller knew that Batman would be more interested in the latter.
First of all, Arrogance did not participate in many Doujie games. Most of the time he stayed in Doujie, he used the spacious and bright room to correct papers, treating this place as an office where he could come in and out as he pleased.
Therefore, he has relatively little gaming experience, and this is his first time participating in such a game.
But that's not the case with Batman. Since the fighting world opened, most Batmans have focused on copy games. With their restless enthusiasm, they have basically played all types of games.
In other words, this form of game may be relatively unfamiliar to Pride, but it is very familiar to Batman. There is no need for him to waste time on understanding the basic rules. Instead, he can ask more questions based on his previous experience.
question of meaning.
For example, what is going on in this world, and what is going on with himself.
Schiller remembered the requirements of the Transcendents at that time. They could make up a backstory for themselves. The backstory compiled by Arrogance was quite conservative, but that was not necessarily the case for others.
If the Transcendents can make the stories they have made come true, then Batman can completely use the stories they make up to influence the pattern of the entire world.
For example, they only need to fabricate what they did in a certain war, and then this war will really appear in the history of the world. As long as the scale of the war is large enough, it can completely change the pattern of the entire world.
In other words, this is a game of imagination. No matter how bold a person is and how productive the land is, as long as you dare to make it up, nothing is impossible.
In fact, Arrogance is not very good at making up stories. At that time, his understanding of the entire game was relatively simple. When he heard about the profession of the clergy, he compiled a background story that was relatively suitable for the character's profession. Basically, no one could understand it.
flaw.
But the key point is that the compiled background story will be directly written into the world background, which means that no matter how absurd it is, it is true, and there is no need to keep it. Even if the level is high enough, it can provide unlimited advantages for oneself in the game.
Schiller is not sure whether Batman is that good at telling stories, but he is very sure that Greed is very good at it.
The stories he makes up are not only absurd and bizarre, but also self-justifying. No matter how many restrictions there are on making up background stories, he will definitely challenge the upper limit of this function.
Schiller suspected that Greed was secretly cultivating immortality, and he had proof.
Let’s start from the beginning. First of all, when these people get together in a cabin, there is obviously a story.
It seems like the protagonist appears in a certain world at the beginning of a game for no apparent reason, but when there is a plot, games generally give the protagonist a reason for coming here.
Either a prisoner being released, a traveler from afar visiting relatives, or at worst a mercenary ranger passing by by chance.
Generally speaking, the protagonist's purpose for coming somewhere is either introduced to the protagonist through the opening animation. It is easiest to directly have a first-person narration. If this is not possible, it can also be reflected through subsequent dialogue.
But the opening animation was too short, nothing could be seen, and no one told him why he was here. When introducing himself, he could only make up an ambiguous reason.
Just because he is like this doesn't mean that others are like this too. Some people may have already incorporated their reasons for coming into their background stories, and later introduced themselves in a vague way, just because they don't want to reveal too much information.
For example, Greedy was too vague when introducing himself, and quickly changed the topic to the fact that he is a rich second generation, but in fact, there is no reason for a character like him to appear in this remote village.
To put this story together, it will definitely require a lot of bizarre twists and turns.
If this is the case, his identity will definitely not be simple, and if a person with a different identity is involved in this matter, what he has to do will not be simple either.
Schiller thought, how to win this game? Kill the Prowler, save the village, or simply save the world from the shadow of the weird?
The Transcendent didn't say anything, and he hadn't thought about it before. He thought it would be the same as the previous dungeons. It would be over after completing the main process and surviving to get some resources.
Again, in a game where you can set your own background story and make it come true, imagination is everything, and there is no fixed main line.
When you go out, your identity and purpose are given by yourself.
From this perspective, greed is very likely to have different goals from them, or the goals of everyone present are different.
Moreover, they may not all be good people.
If each other doesn't know how the other makes up, the identities and goals they set for themselves are likely to conflict.
For example, Night Owl is a policeman, and the goal he has set for himself is to save the village, but Pale Knight is a lawyer, and he may be working for a big shot, and his purpose is to prevent anyone who has witnessed this weird incident from leaving the village.
In this case, they may be able to help each other in an extreme environment and explore the mystery of the whole thing, but it is more likely that after discovering the identity and position of the other party, they will kill the other party first to complete their goals.
.
And assuming this is indeed the case, then all the misfortunes they are encountering now are not necessarily the difficulties set by the Transcendents for them, but more likely the result of someone secretly tampering with them.
Schiller's first suspicion was greed.
He was really suspicious and put the team in dangerous situations on several occasions.
The most important evidence in Schiller's hands is that the wind blade just flew from the direction of Greed.
Thinking of this, Schiller had a bold conjecture in his mind - were all the anomalies they encountered really caused by the Prowler?
The anomaly must be real. After all, the wind blade that can directly split a person in half cannot be made by a blower. It must be at least a magic skill or something. The standing body cannot be made by props. It must be stained to some extent.
Click on superpowers.
But with so many superpowers belonging to the Prowler, why would this monster choose such a remote village to cause trouble?
First possess a living person, then use the wind blade to kill, and then control the corpse to possess other living people. This silky little combo can't be resisted by even the Lighthouse Village, let alone the Lighthouse Country.
If you want to talk about it from the perspective of the game, it means that monsters that should not be fought at this stage are thrown into the novice village. Where do you leave this cos tree guard?
