Chapter 3177: The Detective is about to die (Twenty-eight)
The words "The battle begins" that echoed in his ears made Schiller visibly stunned, and many clues became clear in his mind.
Think about it carefully, when have you heard the system prompt sound effect of the start of the battle?
The first time was in the cabin. Faced with a corpse that suddenly started moving, the Transcendent gave such a hint. The following times were basically when human corpses started moving that hints of the battle began were given.
There are no prompts when fighting the five hounds, and the game does not even enter a turn-based state. It is just an ordinary fight.
what does this mean?
At first, Schiller thought that it might be an event related to something strange that triggered the prompt sound for the start of the battle.
Then why does he also fight against greed?
There are two possibilities now. One is that the prompt sound will only be heard when encountering a battle related to monsters. If there is a prompt sound when fighting greed, it means that greed is related to monsters.
There is another more hidden possibility, that is, the prompt sound will only be heard when you fight against greedy players, and those corpses that suddenly resurrect are actually the players' doing.
Schiller instinctively felt that it should be the latter.
He was not speaking without a clue. First of all, they had never seen the Wanderer from beginning to end, and they didn't know whether this guy was really as they had previously deduced, possessing living people, killing them, and then controlling the corpses. All this was just their guess.
Secondly, if the Wanderer really had such ability, he shouldn't be so fragile and vulnerable. Those moving corpses didn't cause them any trouble. So far, the wounds on all the people were either caused by failed dice rolls or by being hit by the reed monster. The output of the corpses was zero.
But every time you finish beating a corpse, it is considered a battle victory, and once the battle is won, you can get points to improve your skills. Is this another way of brushing points?
Schiller went over the situations of several people in his mind again. Greedy Wind Blade was too special. It should not be an ordinary skill that could be activated by skill points, but his initial skill. His own initial skill was Requiem, and the Joker's initial skill was most likely related to dice. The rest were Night Owl, the main universe Batman, and the Pale Knight.
Schiller feels that the person most likely to have the ability to manipulate corpses is the main universe Batman.
Because he controlled the corpse to stand up and attack the player, it was equivalent to players fighting each other. If in the system rules, only fights between players were considered battles, then this could obviously trigger a battle.
After the battle is triggered, there will be skill points. Among all the players, the one who needs skill points the most is actually the main universe Batman.
Because he planned to use serious injuries to escape from everyone's sight.
Without enough skill points, he cannot upgrade skills such as healing. However, as long as he uses his innate skills to pull up corpses and trigger battles to gain skill points, he can fully upgrade skills such as first aid.
Through the development of Bruce's psychoanalysis skills, we can see that the third-level skill is a qualitative change. If Batman really upgrades the first aid skill to level three, then using this skill once can at least restore half of his blood. It makes sense that he can disappear on the spot when seriously injured.
Schiller's mind raced. If all this was planned by the Batman of the main universe, then things must not be as simple as they seemed. Batman might not be targeting the weirdos, but the Siltec Medical Insurance Company.
Based on Schiller's understanding of Batman, he may not only be targeting this insurance company, but there may be a bigger conspiracy behind this insurance company.
It’s not that Schiller doesn’t want to let Batman save the world, the question is who dares to say that he is an absolutely good person in front of Batman?
Schiller did not forget that he was a member of the church.
Your medical insurance company is not a good thing, so does that mean the church is a good person?
When Jeff met them, he told them that the church had adopted a very harsh isolation policy in response to strange incidents. Although it was useful in theory, it was easy to imagine how many false cases would be caused during its implementation.
When Pride was making up his own background story, he didn't touch any information related to the church at all, which means that what the church is like is in the hands of others.
If others say that the church is a charity, then the church plays a positive role. If others say that the church is a hypocritical money-making organization, then it cannot be justified in any way.
Batman wants to take action against the insurance company, but what if the insurance company is connected with the church? Wouldn’t he be sent to the guillotine as well?
After thinking this through, Schiller put down the gun that had no bullets left, looked at Greedy's ugly face and said, "You have two choices now. Tell me what's going on..."
"I choose the second one." Greedy said simply.
"Let's have a fight and you tell me what's going on."
Greedy's expression became even uglier.
Bruce nudged him and said, "He threatened you."
"I know." Greedy said through gritted teeth.
"Then you fight him!"
Greed also lowered his voice and said, "Violence is the strongest among us because his muscle restrictions have been lifted most thoroughly, allowing him to unleash the most powerful force. However, the agent's fighting skills are the best, and I can't beat him!"
"Do you want me to help you?" Bruce's tone revealed a smile.
"I advise you not to..."
Just as he said this, Greed felt a huge force pushing him to the side, and his shoulder hit the wall next to him. When he came to his senses, he saw only the flash of a knife and a bloody mark on the side of his neck.
“Hiss…” Greedy took a breath, then looked at Schiller who had just put away the knife and said, “Don’t go too far!”
"Yeah, although we've started a battle, it's not just a fight between the two of you. Do you want to fight one against three?" Bruce made it clear that he wanted to stand on the side of Greed, and Night Owl obviously also wanted to stand on Bruce's side.
Schiller snorted coldly and said, "If you were really sure, you wouldn't be talking nonsense here."
After saying that, he flipped his knife hand and stabbed towards Greedy's neck again. Greedy immediately lowered his head to avoid it, but at this time the black and gold dice appeared again.
The landing number was "1", another big failure!
puff!
The sharp blade cut across his neck, and a huge amount of blood from the cut carotid artery spurted straight toward the wall. Greedily covered his neck and groaned, but the sharp kitchen knife had no intention of letting him go, and then another stab came towards his eyes.
"Clown!!!" Greedy roared, "Change your broken dice! Otherwise I will die here!!!"
Schiller hid the smile on his face very well, but he did not stop stabbing.
Greedy tried to hide again, and saw the dice finally turned red the next second. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his dexterity score of 38 < 40 failed!
Greedy dodged a moment too late and failed to avoid it completely. The tip of the knife cut straight from the center of his brow to his temple, and blood instantly flowed into his eyes.
The moment Schiller put away the knife, he saw Bruce muttering something, so he deliberately moved his body to the side, revealing a flaw. Sure enough, Bruce grabbed Greedy and pulled him out of the blind spot.
Schiller saw that the moment Bruce touched Greedy, the blood on Greedy's neck and eyes stopped, and the wounds were slowly healing.
It is known that there are now a total of four skill points. Bruce has already upgraded psychoanalysis to the maximum level, so he only has one skill point left, and the first-level first aid skill does not have such a good effect.
This means that the healing skill that Bruce is currently using on Greed should be his innate skill.
Great, another one confirmed.
Schiller retracted the knife and stepped back. Greedy took a deep breath. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Bruce in an attacking posture. He quickly pulled Bruce back and glared at him, saying, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you going to fight?"
Greed wiped the blood off his face and said, "I finally understand how arrogant you feel. Are you stupid? Haven't you ever dealt with an agent?"
"The agent I'm most familiar with is Amanda Waller," Bruce replied.
Greed was speechless for a moment, but he could only explain: "All the coercive means used by the agent are not really to fight you to death, but just to obtain intelligence."
Bruce was not really stupid. The next second he figured out what Schiller was doing. He suddenly attacked Greed, not to kill Greed, but to find out what their innate skills were.
Greedy directly used the wind blade to split the bullet, which proved that his innate skill was most likely the wind blade.
When fighting Greedy, I heard the "Battle Begins" prompt sound. I can roughly infer that someone has the skill of controlling corpses, and it is very likely that this is the skill of Batman in the main universe.
Directly attack Greed, causing him to dodge, forcing him to call on the Joker to replace the dice, confirming that the Joker's innate skills are related to the dice.
By slicing Greed's carotid artery, Bruce was forced to give up his healing skills to Greed to save his life. It can be inferred that Bruce's innate skill is healing.
Now, except for Night Owl and Pale Knight whose skills are still unclear, everyone else's skills are basically clear.
Now Bruce could understand a little bit why some of his friends hated the idea of agents.
The key is not how much information they can squeeze out of you, but how much information they can extract from you once you engage with them.
And if you don't deal with them, they will find ways to dig out your information from others while you are hiding, and when you come back, it will be too late.
Greedy shook the blood off his hands and said, "You know enough, do you still want to continue fighting?"
Schiller glanced at Bruce, hesitating whether to attack Bruce. Although it was the first time for him to meet this arrogant student, he knew from his memory that without using any special abilities, his fighting ability was not that strong and was far inferior to the first-tier fighting masters.
It just so happens that all his superpowers cannot be used in this game. Judging from his physical strength alone, it is no problem to beat him up.
The evil Batman named Night Owl next to him is obviously unlikely to watch Bruce get beaten. If he touches Bruce, he will definitely take action and may even expose his own skills.
In this case, one bullet can be exchanged for important information about four talent skills, which is really a huge profit.
As Schiller hesitated, Greed pointed out sharply, "When do you think Hubris will return?"
"That's right." Schiller said suddenly.
Greedy thought he was going to give up, but the next second Schiller came up and punched Bruce.
"When you graduated, Pride broadcast in the tower for two days, which kept me awake. I haven't settled the score with you yet."
