Chapter 3190: The Detective is about to die (Part )
This really stumped Batman.
Because even if you only look at the video in front of them, it's hard to say that the monster is the most evil one in this group of people. It's very likely that he is just taking advantage of the situation and is not the culprit.
Whether the monster ranks third or fourth in terms of evil depends on whether Bruce is outside the camera. If it wants to surpass the previous two things, all we can say is that when the clown waves at the camera at the end, it’s not an apology, but a brother who still needs to practice.
"That lawyer..." Batman suddenly remembered that there seemed to be only one teammate in the justice camp, and that was the Pale Knight.
Schiller shook his head. As he said before, the Joker who becomes righteous is not necessarily Batman. The underlying character of the Pale Knight is still the Joker, and his justice may be a little bit beyond what Batman imagines.
After watching this video, Schiller has basically sorted out the entire process from the beginning of the game to now.
Greed arrived the first. After landing, he should have gone straight to his underground laboratory, but he encountered the detective, the corpse in the kitchen and Madeline who had somehow come to the underground cave, and a chase started.
The detective fled into a small cave. While being chased, his head was hit by sand and debris from the cave ceiling, but he was ultimately unable to escape and was killed by Greed's wind blade.
Madeline should have been caught up as well, but Greedy did not kill her because Greedy might have met Bruce at this time, and Bruce, as a psychologist, could hypnotize Madeline, and the two reached a deal.
Greed transported the detective to the cabin through the underground cave, and also moved the unconscious Madeline to the upstairs of the cabin, where Bruce hypnotized Madeline, with the intention of making Madeline pretend to be crazy after she woke up to support their speculation about the monster, thereby drawing everyone's attention to the monster and guiding other people's attention.
While Greedy was chasing the Detective and Madeline in the cave, the Joker arrived at the dock a little later and rushed to the lighthouse that appeared in the opening introduction, taking some time to capture the Huff family.
Bruce stayed in the cabin to make arrangements, while Greedy went back to the laboratory along the cave for inspection. Then he continued to walk forward along the cave, entered the lighthouse through the exit above his head, met the Joker, and the two reached a cooperation to jointly shoot and save the video.
It was during this period that Greedy and the Joker exchanged skill information with each other. Greedy asked the Joker to use the dice to kill as many people as possible on the side of justice after the game officially started, while he himself made a plan to lure everyone into the laboratory.
Afterwards, Greedy might have met Night Owl while returning to the cabin or simply in the underground cave. In order to achieve his goal of deceiving everyone, he reached a cooperation with Night Owl, allowing him to bring other players to the door of the laboratory at the right time.
This is probably how the collaboration between Greed, Bruce, the Joker, and Nite Owl works.
Greed wants to win, Bruce may just want to have fun, the Joker wants to torture the righteous, and Nite Owl wants to help Bruce, this may be their motive.
Schiller told Batman his guess, but he added, "These people all have their own ulterior motives. Everyone has his own plan. It is impossible for them to cooperate sincerely."
Batman nodded and said, "Right, otherwise he would have caught everyone."
Greedy's plan might not be perfect from the beginning, Schiller thought, because he was missing an important piece of information, that is, Hischou in this game knew Pride, and Pride had tricked him and thrown him into the lake in front of his house.
Schiller is narrow-minded, and the Joker is not that big-minded either. The Joker definitely recognized Greedy the moment he saw him, but he pretended not to recognize him and even cooperated with Greedy just to trick him at the critical moment and avenge himself from last time.
As for Bruce, it goes without saying that he would never cooperate sincerely with greed, not even with any Schiller. He and Schiller were incompatible, and they would torture each other whenever they met. There was almost no second possibility.
As an evil Batman, Night Owl seems to be low-key throughout the entire game process, which just means that he is also planning something, and it is absolutely impossible that he is simply doing things for greed.
This team of lunatics can form a new criminal syndicate if they get together. It is better to expect Batman to become a fool than to expect them to work together sincerely.
Batman also realized that this game seemed to be a game of luck and points, but in fact it was still a game of intelligence. Whoever knew more information about the other party would have the advantage.
And there happened to be an agent in front of him.
"What do you think of the other guys?" Batman asked.
Schiller knew the drama was about to begin. He cleared his throat and said, "What we need to figure out now is not who is on the photographer's side, but who will stand on the side of Siltec Health Insurance Company. After all, it is this company you want to overthrow, isn't it?"
Batman nodded, motioning for him to continue.
Schiller sorted out his thoughts in his mind. He thought, this pharmaceutical company was made up out of greed. Others could not have known this when they were making up the background story. Therefore, their position of leaning towards this insurance company could not have existed naturally. It was all formed after the game started.
For example, why did the Joker help Greed? Because he knew that Batman would definitely stand against the Siltec Medical Insurance Company, because this company is obviously a villain, and Batman, as a righteous superhero, must overthrow it.
In order to disgust Batman, the Joker will naturally help the greed that owns this insurance company, and Bruce will probably do the same.
But in fact, their backgrounds may have nothing to do with this medical company. Although they may all be children from wealthy families, it is impossible for them to be names made up out of greed.
This means that as long as the conflict between them and Batman is resolved, they can also turn against him.
Note that this is not about helping Batman, but about not helping greed.
It is too difficult to ask them to take the initiative to help the main universe Batman, but as long as they have no reason to help Siltec Medical Company, and stop helping Greed in time, it is equivalent to weakening the opponent's power.
As long as these people remain neutral, Batman will have an absolute advantage in the face of greed.
Because his character is a local, a hero, and a very capable hunter. If he is given a chance, he can directly physically eliminate Greed. I can make many mistakes, but you can only make one mistake.
As for how to restore their neutrality, we naturally have to start with their background stories.
Everyone has to give themselves a motivation for coming here, and the paragraph where they first introduce why they come here is basically nonsense, but there must be a reason.
For example, Schiller is doing his duty as a clergyman of the church. When there are monsters active here, he has to come. As a member of the church, his ultimate goal is of course to kill the monsters. If he cannot kill the monsters, he can also kill all those who know of the existence of monsters.
Other players must have the same goal.
Disgusting the other party may be important, but only the winner can disgust the loser most thoroughly, so if they use their energy to achieve their own goals, they will naturally not disgust Batman anymore.
Schiller also had a rough guess about the intentions of the other people, but it was not convenient to talk about it now. He simply took out his kitchen knife from his arms, gestured at his hand, and then looked at Batman.
Although Batman knew that Schiller wanted to trigger a fight in order to lift the restrictions on role-playing, he always felt that Schiller had bad intentions.
In the end, Schiller chose to hit Batman's arm, which just happened to show whether Batman really has first aid skills.
But Batman is also a ruthless guy. He didn't use any skills at all. He simply bandaged his arm with the bandage he had looted in the lighthouse before, as if he didn't take this minor injury seriously at all.
But it still successfully triggered the battle and allowed Schiller to better express his inferences.
"What kind of person do you think the Joker is?" Schiller asked.
Here it comes, Batman thought, as expected, no matter which Schiller it is, he can read minds, this game is worth playing.
"He's a madman," Batman said. "A madman with reason and wisdom."
Normally, Schiller would have shaken his head at this time and then expressed his own deeper insights.
But the Schiller that Batman meets this time is not ordinary.
He nodded and said, "Yes, that's the Joker. He is crazy, but rational. In other words, his seemingly crazy actions have their own logic behind them."
"It's the same in this game. He seems to do whatever he wants. He helps greedy people when he encounters them, but he escapes at the last minute. He may even notice your abnormality but doesn't expose it."
"These seemingly contradictory behaviors must have their reasons. He helps Greed because he knows that he might encounter a hypocritical hero like you in this game, and he likes to torture heroes, so of course he has to help Greed gain an advantage first."
"In the end, he chose to get out because he knew how frustrating it was to have a perfect plan go wrong at the last minute, and he wanted to use this to humiliate Greed."
"He used his skills to change the dice in order to torture you, but he chose to let you go in the end because he wanted to see you fail, not die. It all makes sense."
"Ordinary people can only see his inconsistency and infer that he is a lunatic with a bad brain, but as long as you see his internal logic, you can see that every step he takes is to satisfy his evil desires, and he really did it."
"From this, we can infer that the background story he made up for himself must be of this style, in which he satisfied his evil desires through seemingly crazy behavior."
"What does he want to see most? Perhaps death, blood, and more cruel things, but these are just means, not ends. His goal is always to make people give up hope for the goodness in human nature."
"It's like he helps greed, just to support the powerful and promote injustice, watching many innocent victims like Madeleine sink and struggle in the selfishness and greed of human nature, and finally fall into complete despair."
"It's like he used his skills to harm you, not to see how much pain your body was in, but to see the pain in your heart when your teammates thought you were worthless and abandoned you, because this would allow you to deny the existence of kindness in human nature."
"It's like he let you go later, just to show you that good will prevail over evil. No matter how hard you try, you will eventually fail because of the evil hidden in the players' nature."
"All of the above must be to make you no longer believe in human nature, to make you feel that this group of selfish, greedy and vicious people does not need to be saved, to make you deny everything you have done in the past and give up everything you will do in the future. This is the Joker."
"Oh--"
The one who made this sound was not the Batman of the main universe, but Bruce who saw their conversation through the camera on the night vision goggles in Schiller's hand.
Pride said in his heart, "What are you saying?"
"I think he makes a lot of sense."
Arrogance began cutting his ninth cigar.
