Chapter 2309 Gotham Music Festival (Forty-eight)
The cruise ship is very large. The first floor is a dance floor, banquet hall, bar and other gathering places, while the second floor is a living and entertainment center including a game room, reception room, gym, etc.
The circular plaza where people were on the first floor before was actually the banquet hall, and directly above it was the casino on the first floor, which was the venue for gambling games before.
But in addition to these two venues, there are many other rooms on the first and second floors, so there are criss-crossing corridors, numerous staircases, seven elevators, and in addition to the stairs for the staff passage, there are also more than a dozen up and down stairs.
But at this time, the stairs leading to the second floor were full of wet footprints, the carpet was wrinkled, and the handrails were full of friction marks. It was obvious that a crowd of people rushed in and ran up to the second floor.
The reason is very simple. The gunshot on the first floor is the most threatening deportation order. After all, in this country, the most likely person to encounter, and the man-made disaster that poses the greatest threat to their lives and safety, is shooting.
The fear of gunshots was ingrained in their bones. Not even the shaking of the ship and the invasion of sea water frightened them so much. As soon as the gunshots rang out, everyone followed the instincts they had developed over the years and evacuated as quickly as possible.
The deck was empty and there was almost no shelter, so it was not a good place to take refuge, so the crowd had no choice but to go to the second floor.
But the problem is that the trap that Beibat and the others encountered was also on the second floor, which means that Schiller returned to the second floor after killing Flamingo.
Bat didn't dare to think about what would happen if Schiller rushed into the panicked crowd, so he said to Oliver: "We have to find a way to lure Schiller down. The first floor is bigger and the terrain is more complicated, so it's easier to maneuver there."
"How?" Amanda raised her voice and said, "You said the countdown will accumulate, so if anyone tries to lead it, it means that if he shows his back again later, he will be locked immediately."
"But we have to do this." Bei Bat said, "Neither of you is suitable, so I have to go, and you can assist me."
Oliver frowned slightly. He instinctively didn't like asking others to sacrifice themselves, but Beibat said, "Although it may be difficult to understand, in a previous game, I met many sick Schillers, and I understand them better than you do."
"They are all very special, but they are also divided into strong and weak. Judging from their martial arts level, the hunter is not the strongest one. His strength is chasing. He can be completely focused when chasing. The pressure brought by this concentration will cause the prey to make mistakes quickly."
"But as long as we can keep our minds stable, we still have room to deal with him. The other two Batmen have already gone to restart the power and start the boat. As long as we can tow it to the shore, we can find a way to calm him down."
Seeing that Batman actually had a plan, and was not going to blindly die, Oliver agreed to his plan and said, "If you are targeted and hunted, I will interfere with his actions appropriately."
"I can mobilize some manpower." Amanda sighed and said, "Although I'm not sure how many are left, I should be able to cause some disruption to him."
"No, if you have extra people, go and watch the staircases on the second floor and tell the tourists not to come down." Oliver said, "The key is to clear an area for Schiller to roam around, so as to minimize the losses."
Amanda nodded, and Beibat said, "You should go up too, ma'am. If you only have one chance left, not only will you not be able to delay time, but you will also be in danger."
Amanda hesitated, but still agreed and said, "I will call for support when necessary. The ship has been missing for so long, and all parties must be anxious. As long as the news gets out, there is a high possibility that they will intervene. Schiller will chase one target at a time, which is enough to delay them."
Neither of them objected to this, and Beibat led the way past the corpse hanging in the air. He knew that Schiller must be lurking in the shadows at the end of the corridor, not too far away, like a spider standing in the middle of its web waiting for its prey.
Sure enough, after Bat passed the corpse, he walked forward about five or six steps and saw a figure holding a marlin mask standing at the end of the corridor, which was also the door of the restaurant.
He just stood there quietly in the darkness, looking mysterious and silent. When Bei Bat walked over, he still didn't react.
Until Beibat was only ten steps away from him, he suddenly exerted all his strength to rush to Schiller's side, leaving his back to him.
Through the shadow on the ground, he could see Schiller turn his head and then his whole body towards him. Beibat counted to three seconds in his mind, then accelerated and rushed into a room.
He stayed in the room for only two seconds before rushing into the corridor again. After a flash, he rushed to the room opposite.
This is his way to delay being locked. Assuming that there is only one figure in front of Schiller, he will definitely try to lock on to this figure. Even if he cannot lock on to it, he will not turn around to do something else.
Then the time he cannot lock on is invalid time. As long as he can ensure that the distance is not shortened during this period and still has the ability to shift strategy, he can dilute the originally short countdown process by making Schiller lose his vision multiple times, making this excessive time even longer.
Bat entered a door every second, and the two seconds he stayed inside the door was not enough for Schiller to catch up. So his one-second countdown time could be delayed to three seconds, and he had more than ten seconds to rush through the corridor, which was not long to begin with, and lead Schiller downstairs.
Bei Bat was counting the seconds silently in his mind, and soon he saw the stairs to the first floor. He knew he had to stop here and let Schiller completely lock onto him before running downstairs. Otherwise, if he lost sight for a long time, Schiller might not follow him down.
Before turning the corner, Bei Bat counted to three in his mind. Sure enough, the footsteps behind him paused for a moment, and then became at least twice as fast as before.
Beibat knew he had been targeted, and the hunt began.
He ran towards the bottom of the stairs at lightning speed, but just when he took the second step and reached the platform of the stairwell, he suddenly saw a dark shadow appear behind him.
Impossible! How could he be so fast? ! !
This was Beibat's last thought before he was thrown out. He felt a heavy blow to his back and neck, and he fell down the stairs. He had no time to think about the reason. He rolled to the side as fast as possible to avoid the mask spikes that were rushing towards him.
This is not right, Beibat thought, I must have made a mistake. The hunting speed he encountered in the game was fast, but it couldn't be this fast. The power was also great, but it couldn't be that it could knock him away in a single encounter.
What exactly is going on? !
But Bei Bat had no time to think about the reason. Before Schiller reached out to grab him, he rolled over and lay flat to avoid it. He did not choose to use his arms to support himself to get up. Instead, he used a faster method, stood up on the spot with a somersault, and ran away.
Bei Bat was running at full speed, and he arrived at the corridor on the first floor in the blink of an eye. However, it was precisely because of the chase in this straight corridor that Bei Bat was sure that Schiller's speed was much faster than when he was in the hospital.
Bei Bat had rushed to the end of the corridor at the fastest speed, but the gap between him and Schiller was getting smaller and smaller. Just as he turned the corner of the corridor and ran towards the exit of the deck, he heard a noise coming from the other side, as if someone was cursing something.
It was too late to stop at this time, and Beibat could only rush out. As soon as he ran out, he saw several people dressed in tourist clothes, but with ferocious expressions and guns in their hands, gathered together to discuss something.
Seeing Beibat running out, they immediately raised their guns, but Beibat still rushed towards them, making it difficult for them to react.
Bei Bat knew he didn't have time to explain too much, so he just yelled out one syllable: "Run!!!"
It was this deafening shout that made this group of weird tourists miss the best opportunity to shoot him. Bat passed through them at an extremely fast speed and ran to the other side of the deck.
But the group of people were still standing there, not understanding what was going on, when suddenly they saw another figure walking out of the door.
The moonlight on the deck was much brighter than inside the cabin, and the field of vision was wider, so they discovered that the man wearing the octopus mask was covered in blood, and the dried blood on his dress turned his entire suit into a terrifying black color.
Bang! Out of fear, one of them opened fire.
Schiller was shot in the right abdomen. The impact of the bullet made him take a step back slightly, but he showed no pain at all.
Finding that the bullets were effective, the others were about to shoot. Bei Bat, who had already run over, stopped and turned to look at them, unsure whether he should stop them.
But no one got a chance to fire a second shot.
The black shadow rushed into their midst at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye. He first strangled one of the men's heads with his arm. With a click, the spine was broken. Then he grabbed the wrist of the man holding the gun behind him, pressed his hand on the back of his spine, and slammed his knee into him, piercing his throat from bottom to top with the marlin mask.
He lowered his body to dodge the fist coming from behind, knocked the opponent back with an elbow, and then threw an uppercut with the hand holding the spiked mask. The spikes pierced straight into his temple, causing his eyeballs to roll out of their sockets.
After instantly dealing with the three men, Beibat saw Schiller's eyes locked on him again, so he turned and ran.
Then this time he finally felt terrified, and Schiller's speed increased again.
This time, the shadow covered him before he could even take a step. Beibat had a full understanding of his explosive power. Although it could not be said to be the limit of human beings, few people could match his starting speed.
"Why did it get faster again?!" Beibat roared in his heart.
With a bang, he was knocked flying and fell to the ground. His head was bleeding from hitting the ground. Not only did his nose hurt badly, but his vision also went black.
The key point was that the collision caused the bandage on his arm to tear open. The wound had not healed to begin with, and now blood splattered everywhere again.
But Bei Bat didn't even stop for a second. He turned over, dodged the spikes, hit Schiller with a hook, but was kicked away again.
His strength also increased. As he got up, Bei Bat thought that something must have gone wrong. He had to find the answer quickly. Otherwise, if this continued, the stronger Schiller became, the weaker he would become. Not to mention delaying, he might even die here.
Just as he was thinking this, Schiller appeared behind him again, wrapping his arms around his neck and trying to strangle him. Bei Bat subconsciously used fighting skills to deal with it, which was to grab the wrist and pull forward, and then throw him over his shoulder.
But this arm was much stronger than he had imagined, and he encountered resistance before he could complete his over-the-shoulder throw. Bat and Schiller fell to the side together.
The two men fell right in front of the door of the staff passage connecting the deck to the cabin. The door opened with a creak, and a pair of hands grabbed Bei Bat's shoulders and pulled him into the door. With a click, the door was locked.
Batman turned around and saw Bruce's blue eyes.
Hey hey hey
