The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 3209: The Shadow of Faraines (VI)

Schiller put on night vision goggles, extinguished the torch, climbed over the wall, looked down from above, and really saw the vague figures chasing several humans at the end of the street.

Schiller was sure at the first glance that they were really deep divers.

These monsters with human bodies, fish heads and tridents in their hands are the most typical images of deep divers, but this village is called Farines, not Innsmouth. What are the deep divers doing here?

Schiller still remembered that in the classic Cthulhu novel "The Haze over Innsmouth", it was mentioned that the unfortunate town of Innsmouth had excessive intermarriage with deep divers, resulting in humans having the appearance of Innsmouth, and eventually becoming deep divers and returning to the sea.

But Schiller was very sure that the seaside town where he was located did not have any Innsmouth appearance. All the locals he met looked like humans, and he did not find anything related to deep divers here. What on earth could cause a large-scale invasion of these underwater monsters?

Schiller couldn't help but think of the spell. If the content of the spell was to summon the Deep Divers, then such a phenomenon was not impossible.

But Schiller knew very well that Jeff was a modern man. Modern ocean-going fleets would be equipped with sufficient firepower. If the effect of the spell was to attract the Deep Divers, it was really hard to say whether these fishmen could beat the well-armed and well-trained sailors in the fleet.

The Deep Divers were not invincible. Although humans were naturally weak in front of them, when Jeff was young, it was at most during World War II, not the Middle Ages. The firepower of modern humans can be called a carbon-based biological destroyer. How many Deep Divers can destroy such a large fleet?

In order to prevent being discovered by the Deep Divers, Schiller quickly jumped off the wall and quietly moved along the wall.

He knew that the fishmen might have a very sensitive nose, so he held his breath as much as possible. The night vision goggles were his trump card, because these Deep Divers might think that humans have no ability to see at night, so they came out to hunt in the dark.

He quietly followed behind these Deep Divers.

There were about five or six people being chased in front. Except for one woman, all of them were men, and they were all middle-aged men. Two of them had guns in their hands, and the one at the back had a shotgun.

Since Schiller saw them, the man fired three shots, and the last shot hit by luck. Schiller saw that the legs of the deep diver who was hit were directly blown into blood foam. This should be the effect of the special bullet. Schiller suspected that these people were the ones who robbed the gun store.

This was undoubtedly good news. The deep diver who was hit had no way to chase forward because he lost a leg. His companions didn't care about him and just left him there.

It's better to catch a fish directly than to catch a person and ask for information. Schiller immediately made up his mind, but he guessed that looking directly at this monster would reduce his mental health value, so he lowered his head as much as possible and didn't look at the monster itself, and walked to the side of the deep diver with a crowbar.

This guy immediately found him. His cry was a bit like a frog, and a bit like a dog, with a whirring sound in his nasal cavity.

As soon as the sound reached Schiller's ears, he felt his brain buzzing, and his mental health value dropped again.

Schiller quickly hit his head with a crowbar.

This dull shouting turned into a scream, but it had no effect of mental attack. Finding that it was effective, Schiller hit his nose twice, and he couldn't scream.

I don't know when the other deep divers will come back. If they are dragged into the house next door, they may be found by following the traces.

Fortunately, because the previous disaster of the wanderer broke out suddenly, most people didn't have time to escape, and some died in the car. The car was not locked and there was still oil.

Schiller found a car on the side of the road, threw the body on the driver's seat out, dragged the deep divers over and stuffed them into the trunk, and then sat in the driver's seat himself.

The main reason for not driving before was that it was a melting snow day, and the fresh traces left by the wheels could not be covered up. Although there were not many living people in the village, he still didn't want to leave traces of his activities. Walking at least could cover up the footprints.

But now he couldn't care less. There was a big fish in his trunk. He had to find a place to study it carefully.

The sound of Schiller's throttle almost immediately attracted the attention of the Deep Diver, but Schiller stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and ran out of the village at the fastest speed. The fishmen were indeed physically strong and ran very fast, but there was still a certain gap between their speed and the car. They chased for a long time but failed to catch up.

However, the Deep Diver was attracted back by Schiller, and the group seemed to have successfully escaped. Schiller heard two more gunshots. He suspected that the group had killed a Deep Diver.

Schiller drove the car all the way to the door of the lighthouse. As soon as he got off the car, he ran into Bruce and the Pale Knight who were going out.

"I said I didn't mean it! Who knew that guy's modified electric shock device was so powerful! He deserved it!"

"You are so cruel, I have never seen a Batman as cruel as you!"

"I have never seen a Joker with such a strong sense of morality!"

"I am not the Joker!"

"Then I am not Batman either!"

The two people who were arguing were stunned at the same time when they saw Schiller.

Schiller found that he had entered the fighting state directly, but he had no intention of attacking the two people. It should be that the two of them did not leave the fighting state and implicated him.

But who were they fighting with just now?

"Where's the Joker?" Schiller asked.

Bruce showed an embarrassed expression.

Schiller looked at him.

"Listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to kill him. You know I haven't touched those mechanical equipment for a long time. I read the readings wrong, and then... But you can't blame me. Shouldn't the Joker be immortal?"

"Have you forgotten that this is in the game?" The Pale Knight said speechlessly: "All our attributes depend on the points. His physical points are not high enough. You have exhausted his blood volume, so of course he died."

Bruce sighed and said: "Who told him not to increase his physical points? I didn't mean to do it, and the police are dead. Just deduct some social credit points from me."

The Pale Knight looked at Bruce as if he had seen a ghost.

Schiller wanted to laugh a little.

He really believed that Bruce didn't mean to do it. It was more likely that he was distracted or didn't pay attention. This situation often happened since he recovered from his illness. He was stupid and careless like an ordinary person, but there was nothing funny.

Schiller laughed at the Joker.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the Joker's plan, betting that the Batman who caught him would not kill him, but the problem is that it was not Batman who caught him, but Bruce.

If it was really Batman, even if he said that eliminating players in the game does not count as killing, but more of a threat to others with this sentence, Schiller still believes that he will still follow the principle of not killing in the game.

Then if he caught the Joker, he might indeed use some methods to force intelligence, but he should not kill him. In addition to the principle of not killing, it is also because in this situation, only the Joker knows the truth. If he kills him, some of the things in his settings may be taken to the grave by him, which is something Batman does not want to see.

But unfortunately, this is not a problem for Bruce. He does not have a principle of not killing, and more importantly, he does not care about details.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

He does not have the obsessive-compulsive disorder of Batman, and he does not have to ensure that every detail in every story is under his control.

From Bruce's writing style, we can see that he is the kind of person who just wants to be roughly the same, and he can try his luck in details. If it doesn't match, it doesn't matter. If he can't fool around, he will think of crooked ways. If that doesn't work, then time can heal all wounds.

He can't be Batman, but he is good at civil engineering.

The Joker and Bruce met for too short a time, and he didn't know him well enough. He thought he was like other Batmans, Bruce was a disguise, and Batman was the core, so when he fell into his hands, he had no defense at all.

Bruce also failed everyone's expectations as always, and a classic slip of the hand sent him directly to death.

However, Schiller still asked: "Are you sure he is dead?"

It's not that Schiller is suspicious, the key is that the Joker is really cunning, what if he pretends to die?

The Pale Knight hesitated for a moment, but still said: "If a person who was struck by lightning nine times can be resurrected, then he may still have a chance of survival."

"You slipped nine times?!"

"No, only once." Bruce replied.

"Yeah, nine times the current, the body was carbonized." The Pale Knight said bitterly: "You didn't even ask him anything!"

"I just wanted to test the equipment."

Bruce was eager to get over this topic, he said: "Why are you here?"

At this time, Bruce had already discovered that there was something wrong with the trunk, he reached out and opened the trunk, and then let out a scream.

He moved too fast, Schiller didn't have time to stop him.

When Bruce climbed up from the back of the car, he was quite shocked and said, "What is this? Why is it so ugly?!"

The White Knight wanted to go over to take a look, but Schiller stopped him and said, "This is the thing that came up from the dock. If I'm not mistaken, it should be called a Deep Diver. I knocked one down and was just looking for a place to study it."

Bruce touched his chin and said, "That's great. The equipment has been debugged. We can try it again."

"Don't use that broken electric shock device again!" The White Knight shouted at him, "I really never thought that Batman would be an electrical killer!"

"Yes, a killer using electrical appliances, what's wrong? I asked you to debug the equipment but you didn't do it. I didn't debug it well and you blamed me. You saved Gotham by shirking responsibility like a loser?"

Schiller quickly patted him on the back to shut him up. The White Knight's blood pressure was visibly high and about to erupt.

Schiller found the remaining rope in the hall when he came down, tied up the Deep One with his eyes closed, dragged him out of the car, and dragged him all the way into the lighthouse.

The three returned to the lighthouse, and Schiller saw the charred body of the clown in the room with the motor equipment.

He walked over and saw that it was really the clown. Although he was not sure whether the clown virus would spread in the game copy, he was sure that from a biological point of view, if a person was electrocuted like this in an instant, there should be no possibility of any virus spreading.

This should also be a new idea for killing the clown. After Schiller put the Deep One down, he glanced at him inadvertently with his peripheral vision.

Then he saw a horrified expression on an ugly fish head face for the first time.

The clown became a real clown
