After getting out of the narrow cave, Schiller discovered that this was a wide hall with many caves extending in all directions on the walls. This underground cave was larger than they imagined.
Schiller guessed that this may be the main reason why Siltek chose this small village as his base. This place is uniquely equipped to avoid searches. Unless it is a local who has been active here all year round, no one can find the laboratory.
Hiding place.
"Which channel should I choose?" Schiller asked.
Bruce seemed to want to suggest looking for traces of Batman, but if he had not taken this trail, he might not have passed through these passages, and naturally he might not have left any traces.
Schiller walked to these passages and looked around. It was completely dark inside, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on.
"I have a suggestion." Bruce said: "I have stayed in this kind of cave for a while before. Generally speaking, we can judge which way is the exit by the wind direction, but I didn't feel the wind here, maybe
We can rely on listening to sounds."
"Listen to the sound?"
"The reverberation of sound in such a structure is regular. If we shout towards each road, we can probably judge the size of the space inside by listening to the echo."
"You are not a bat spirit, are you?" Greedy said half-jokingly, but he actually knew that Batman's stronghold in the fighting world was also in this kind of cave. Bruce did live there for a period of time, and it was normal for him to have experience.
Before they could try this method, a strange trembling feeling came from above their heads, and they heard a roar of "buzz--".
The sound was so loud and obvious that you could tell it without distinguishing it, as if it was coming from the direction of the road they came from.
In addition, the sound is very similar to the buzzing sound of a lighthouse.
Most practical lighthouses also emit sounds when they light up to attract the attention of ships. In order for this sound to travel farther, the frequency and wavelength are required, so it sounds
Very unique and generally unmistakable.
"Someone activated the lighthouse?" Schiller said and frowned.
Logically speaking, there should be no living people in the lighthouse now.
No, wait!
Schiller and Greedy looked at each other.
They were fooled!
Batman didn't return to the underground cave through the hole in the room at all. He just hid in other rooms of the lighthouse. After they left the lighthouse, he could return to the top of the lighthouse to activate the lighthouse. This was his purpose.
!
After realizing this, Schiller immediately understood that this was what Batman deliberately led them to do, and he might even have expected this scene when he was making up the story.
Because the most important clue that made him think Batman must have left along the underground cave was the letter, which meant that Siltek had a secret laboratory.
Because this is very logical. If the fish itself is actually obtained by Siltek to develop the vaccine, then the secret laboratory cannot be too far away from the fish, and this kind of thing must be done behind the back of someone, and it cannot be built in
In the village, the only option left is the underground cave.
Through the last letter, Batman in the main universe made them think that he pretended to be seriously injured in order to let everyone explore the lighthouse, so that he could go to the underground cave to find the laboratory, obtain evidence, and expose Siltek.
But in fact, his purpose is to get everyone into the underground cave and leave him alone in the lighthouse so that he can activate the lighthouse.
Schiller thought of the moved Jeff's body he saw, which was the trace left intentionally by Batman, in order to remind him of how he defeated Reed, which would be more evidence that he went down to the cave, thus allowing him to
He and his group chased him.
"Go back quickly!" said the Pale Knight: "I'm afraid it's not a good sign that the lighthouse is activated. We have to go back quickly."
"No." Schiller shook his head and refused, saying, "How do you know he didn't activate the lighthouse to move us back? If we keep following his train of thought, we will always be led by his lead."
Bruce also nodded and said, "Yes, that cunning hunter must have mastered some secrets that we don't know about. I don't want to be played by him all the time."
"We've come to this point, and you're still not going to say it?" Schiller stared at Greed. He and Batman were definitely the ones who put the most effort into making up the story.
"I've said everything I need to say..."
"Really? Also the sheep's hoof prints made of wood ashes?"
The other two people's eyes fell on Greedy's face.
Schiller gently twisted his fingertips with his hand and said: "Don't tell me that the traces left by the devil happen to be the same color as the ashes left by the burned wood in the fireplace."
Greedy eyes flashed, and he said: "What do you mean? Do you think the Prowler footprints we saw are fake?"
"If I hadn't burned down the house and got some ashes on my hands when I went to look at the ruins, I still wouldn't be able to figure out how those footprints appeared."
"What do you think?"
"That footprint was drawn by you, Mr. Photographer." Schiller stared at him and said with cold eyes: "You deliberately threw out what Madeleine wanted, led her to spin in the snow, and asked her to stay.
The footprints interfere with our judgment and make us blame everything on supernatural events."
"But you all saw that I didn't bend down to draw footprints."
"That's because the footprints were not painted on your feet, but on Madeleine's hands." Schiller said: "Madeline's body walked on her hands, and we also moved a step after she
Then, I saw a black hoof print there."
"And from the beginning to the end, you were the only one who came into contact with the gun that Madeleine held." Schiller said: "It's not an accident that you picked up the gun, because if Madeleine had a pattern drawn with ashes on her hand, it would definitely be on the gun.
There will be marks on it. You were afraid that others would find out about it, so you kept holding the gun."
"Otherwise, if we are not relatives, if you just throw the gun to one of them, wouldn't you be able to avoid the monster's pursuit? Or just throw it on the ground. Does the monster's life and death have anything to do with you?"
The pale knight raised his eyelids. Looking back now, Greedy's behavior at that time was indeed a bit weird. The weirdest thing was that he picked up the gun but then threw the gun downstairs.
"But I've been under your noses all this time. Where did I find the time to draw some patterns on Madeleine's hands?"
"You can kill a person in advance and move the body. Is it difficult to draw a pattern with the ashes of the wood in the fireplace?"
"But Madeleine is a living person, how could she sit there obediently and let me paint?"
"This shows that she did not have full mobility at that time." Schiller's tone was very firm. He said: "When we saw Madeleine, her state was very abnormal, no different from crazy."
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
"You mean I drove her crazy? I'm just a photographer, how can I have that kind of ability?"
Schiller heard that Greed was actually saying that although in reality he was a psychiatrist and could hypnotize, in the game he was just a photographer and could not use such skills.
There were no wounds on Madeline's important parts, and she probably wasn't knocked unconscious. Judging from the strength of some of her movements before she died, it didn't seem like she was anesthetized. Greed must have used some other method to subdue her.
Schiller suddenly thought of what Madeleine had been shouting: "He's coming."
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Greedy, speculating on his motives. Greedy seemed to have been leading them in the direction of the Prowler from the beginning. The appearance of the footprints confirmed their guesses and made their thoughts move in the direction of the Prowler.
The characteristics of this road are gone forever.
In the game, their thinking is actually limited. Just like Batman in the main universe said at the beginning, it seems that they can only think of one thing at a time.
They were busy inferring the characteristics of the prowler, so they naturally overlooked many things. Schiller somewhat understood why the clown returned to the cabin. He might be trying to find missing clues.
"Should we continue exploring the cave? Or go back to find Batman?" the Pale Knight asked.
Schiller knew very well that if they continued to explore the cave now, it could be seen from the number of cave roads that they would not have a clue within a few days. They underestimated the complexity of the cave and did not bring too many supplies. They continued like this.
, it will be troublesome if you get lost.
So this was not an option. Schiller was hesitant whether to go upstream of the river or return to the lighthouse.
At this time, there was a faint voice from the road they crawled in, "Are you still there? I found something, do you want to come over and take a look..."
That was the voice of the night owl, and Schiller no longer hesitated, but crawled back into the cave and returned to the place where they separated from the night owl.
The light of the flashlight flashed, and Night Owl said: "I walked upstream of the river and found a gate there. I think we can go and have a look."
Without further ado, the group of people walked upstream together, walked for about twenty or thirty minutes, turned a few corners, and arrived at the gate that Night Owl mentioned, which is also the source of the river.
Schiller saw that the river was not naturally generated at all, but flowed from dozens of water pipes embedded in the cave walls. Fish also jumped out of them. This was indeed a breeding farm.
Schiller looked at the door again. It was a very tall security door with a sign of three traps intertwined and cut by a cross, with "Siltek Creatures" written in English letters underneath.
Good guy, I'm afraid I'll go to the wrong door when the agents come for me.
But being so fearless also shows the strength of this guy. Schiller thought, he just doesn't know what is in this laboratory.
Just when Schiller was thinking about how to open the door, shockingly, there was a trembling sound of gears engaging, and the door slowly opened.
What appeared behind the door was a row of automatic machine guns, all of which turned their guns and aimed at the people at the door.
The only thing Schiller was sure of was that he and his team should not be able to escape the shooting range instantly.
At this time, a figure walked out from behind him.
Greed stood in the middle of the door, and the light from inside the door shone on his back, as if it wanted to cut him out of the world, but he just stood there and smiled.
