Chapter 1954

After determining the identities of the hunter and priest, Schiller got the map that only the priest could see. It was a very detailed topographic map, depicting a bustling commercial street.

The reason it is called a topographic map is that this is a three-dimensional map, and it is a semi-transparent image that appears directly in front of Schiller. He only needs to concentrate to see it, and no one else can see it.

Compared to Schiller, Stark's safety problem is more worrying. However, it is fortunate that this is not a barren wilderness with nothing, but a bustling city. After discovering that the level of civilization here is close to or even higher than that of humans, Stark was already confident in building a combat armor that could be used here.

So his destination is the factory area, but it is very far away, so he is preparing to find a car first to see if it can be started, and there happens to be a parking lot not far from here, so they parted ways under the signal light at the birth point.

The map positioning is just where this commercial area presented by the map is. Fortunately, there happens to be a high-rise building nearby. Schiller plans to go up first to observe the surrounding terrain.

The interior of the high-rise building is full of thick fog and is very dangerous. Schiller does not plan to go in, but the advantage of this high-rise building is that it has an external staircase that can lead to a position of about 9~10 floors.

Schiller did not pause, walked quickly up the stairs, and climbed to the 6th floor where he could look into the distance after a while.

Looking into the distance, the whole city is already in ruins, but Schiller soon discovered that the roads in this city are very narrow, even narrower than those ancient European cities, or simply not for cars, but more like sidewalks or bicycle lanes.

But some lower building roofs that have not completely collapsed can be seen, and they are all flat, and some facilities are installed on them, looking like helipads.

It is very likely that this world has popularized air traffic facilities, Schiller speculated and continued to walk up.

Walking to the position of about the 9th floor, one can no longer go up. The stair treads and handrails are already crumbling. At this height, the scene of the whole city is in full view.

Unexpectedly, this city is not big, at least the urban part is very small. Looking closely, it is as big as a district in New York, but after the roads are gone, the buildings become denser, and all functional areas are squeezed together, simply like a miniature model.

There seem to be no residents in the city, but Schiller saw two black shadows on the street not far away. He immediately held his breath because he recognized Superman among them.

Without abilities being restricted, Superman's super vision, super hearing, and other abilities are all still there. Although the city is full of fog, it is hard to say whether Superman's super vision will still exert its effect.

This Superman is not wearing a uniform, but because the distance is too far, Schiller can't see his age level clearly, so he can't deduce which universe's Superman it is. The figure opposite him can vaguely see two pointed ears, looking like Batman, but also because the distance is too far, he can't see which Batman it is.

Things are a bit troublesome, Schiller thought. No matter which Batman it is, he is a smart person. The problems Schiller can think of, he can naturally think of too. It's not so easy to deceive him.

Suddenly Schiller discovered that Superman and Batman actually have to split up. It seems their plan is the same. Both are pretending to be hunters.

This is interesting. If there is a smart person in every team, then there are 12 hunters on the field now. No one knows who is real and who is fake, which leads to both sides not daring to take action.

Schiller always feels that things will not be so simple. The organizer must have some other way to intensify the conflict.

He just thought of this when he discovered that the map suddenly popped up, and a shining red arrow was marked on one of the buildings in the commercial area, and a totem pole pattern appeared above it.

Sure enough, totem pole fragments are not found by luck. The map obtained by the priest will clearly mark the location of the totem pole fragments, and the priest who sees this scene will understand that the more maps possessed, the greater the advantage, because the totem pole can directly kill people.

Schiller suspects that the maps obtained by every priest will overlap, and sooner or later, two priests will see the location of the same totem pole fragment.

Schiller did not hesitate and rushed to the location marked on his map. When he was looking into the distance before, he had already determined the location of the commercial street.

On the way, a plan gradually took shape in Schiller's heart.

The whole game is a large-scale dark forest law practice experiment.

If everyone is a hunter, then they will start fighting the first time they meet, because seizing the opportunity is very important. But if there is a priest behind the hunter, and the priest dies, the hunter also dies, then the hunter's first task becomes protecting the priest.

Assuming that everyone's estimation of the possible opponents they encounter is hunter plus priest, then the desire to attack will not be very strong, because they can think that a hunter protecting a priest will not take the initiative to attack them.

Then the plan of all pretending to be hunters can be successfully executed. Seeing a person and discovering it is a hunter, associating that there is a priest behind him, and then thinking that because he has to protect the priest, he will not take the initiative to attack, then there is no need for oneself to attack, and one can leave with vigilance.

But if there is something that must be snatched, this will not hold. Two groups of people meet, the identities they claim are all hunters, but as long as they come to snatch totem pole fragments, it proves that this hunter wants his own priest to kill, and the person killed may be himself, so he must never let him snatch it, so he will launch an attack.

But Schiller thought of another thing, which is that how many totem pole fragments each person possesses is also a secret, and a priest with three totem pole fragments has the highest degree of threat, because he even skips the hunter's attack process and can directly kill people.

According to this thinking, pretending to be a priest with three totem poles is a better choice. As long as you take action, I will immediately curse you to death. No one dares to bet whether this will be true.

But the problem now is that the game has only started for a few minutes. Even people without brains can think that it is impossible for a priest to collect three totem pole fragments within these few minutes, so the threat is easily exposed.

And Schiller's method is to fake it.

But faking it is not manufacturing fake fragments, which is easily seen through, because the priest can see the number of fragments he has obtained, but regarding the step of cursing to death, a lot of articles can be made.

After arriving at the commercial area, Schiller immediately found the house with totem pole fragments and got the totem pole fragment. It was a relatively short cylinder, looking like three stacked together could form a complete priest totem.

After getting the totem pole fragment, he should have immediately started looking for other information, but Schiller stood in place and looked at the fragment carefully for about two or three minutes, and then walked toward the place that might be a supermarket shown on the commercial area map with great purpose.

Sure enough, that largest, flattest house with three floors of parking lots underground was a large supermarket, but all the items on it used a kind of text that Schiller didn't recognize, looking like it shouldn't be text used by any race on Earth, indicating that those living in this city should be a near-Earth civilization.

From the building appearance seen before, Schiller speculated that this civilization is not much different from humans, and must have also achieved impressive artistic achievements, and also has corresponding art education.

Sure enough, Schiller found things similar to paint in the supermarket, but the paint here is all spray cans, which is a bottle carried on the back and a spray gun.

Schiller picked out a few cans of paint, and found things like rags for mops and a long picking pole in the daily necessities area, as well as some plates and bowls for mixing paint.

About half an hour later, Batman, who had parted ways with Clark, saw a huge magic circle on the roof of a building on the only way to the area where he had the map.

Batman has always liked to occupy the commanding heights. One is because the field of vision is open, which can well observe the surrounding terrain; the second is that standing higher can see the movements of more threatening existences in advance, so he has been walking on the roof.

He wears a Batman suit, so he has all kinds of hooks, and can also glide temporarily. He just used a hook to climb onto a high-rise building higher than the one he stood on before, and what appeared in front of him was an extremely complex pattern.

This pattern occupied almost the entire roof of the building. The whole is a concentric circle, and there is a huge text in the very center of the concentric circle, and all around are dense small characters, as well as many similar but completely different small symbols, connected together in different postures.

Batman just walked over and found that the paint hadn't dried yet. This pattern obviously just appeared.

Soon Batman's attention was attracted by the text in the very center. He silently recorded all the characters and symbols on the entire magic circle in his heart, and continued to rush to the place where there were totem pole fragments shown on his map without stopping.

Batman also obtained the first totem pole fragment without surprise or danger, but just as he got the fragment in his hand, he found that the patterns and characters on the totem pole fragment were similar to those on the huge magic circle he had just seen.

Or rather, they are a set of pattern and character systems, from the writing method to the stroke rules, all exactly the same.

Batman immediately took the totem pole fragment back to the place where the huge magic circle was, and began to compare the characters and patterns on it one by one.

This really has rules. It didn't take long for Batman to find that all the characters and patterns on the totem pole in his hand appeared on the magic circle, but only occupied one-third of the information volume of the magic circle.

The information on one totem pole fragment is one-third of this magic circle, and there happen to be three totem pole fragments. This cannot be a coincidence no matter what.

Batman also took out the product packaging he had picked up on the way in the roadside shop window, and took a look at the place full of characters. He found that the characters and patterns used by these aliens today are related to the totem pole and the characters on the magic circle, but different.

This may be the ancient characters of aliens, Batman speculated. The characters and patterns on the totem pole and the magic circle evolved into the characters used by aliens today.

The product packaging has enough text volume to allow Batman to decipher the meaning of some characters, but he obviously doesn't have so much time to do this.

Batman, of course, also thought about the fact that the organizer did not announce the winning conditions. He thought this might also be related to the danger in the depths of the fog, but now the first thing he has to do is get three totem fragments.

His thinking is similar to Schiller's. A complete totem pole is equivalent to a nuclear weapon. It doesn't necessarily have to be really launched to kill people, but it can make others act according to Batman's will.

Looking at the totem pole fragment again, Batman believes that this magic circle must be related to the totem pole.
