Chapter 1957

After just two sentences, Batman found that the man opposite was stunned, and it wasn't for anything in the real world, as if he had suddenly thought of something and started to be dazed.

This is very abnormal. Batman's frown deepened. Even an ordinary person wouldn't be so easily distracted in a crisis-ridden environment. Just met a stranger and started to let his imagination run wild in his brain, not paying attention to the changes in the reality situation. How could he have survived until now?

Unless there is something in his brain.

"You idiot, wake up quickly, he has already seen it," Venom's angry and anxious tone sounded in Eddie's mind, "He has already discovered me, don't try to deny it, just don't answer."

"Who are you talking to?" Batman asked.

"That has nothing to do with you," Eddie took two steps back and said, "You have fragments in your hand, right? I also got my share, and there is no second share. You'd better stay away from me."

After speaking, Eddie wanted to retreat to the corner and then turn to leave, but Batman called him and said, "You saw that magic circle."

Eddie's figure was obviously stiff. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"The magic circle carved on the wall over there, you have seen it, and you have seen other things."

Eddie stared at Batman and said, "I already said I don't know what you are talking about. You'd better not pester me. My teammate will be here soon."

After speaking, he still wanted to leave, but Batman said, "You have no teammate, you are alone."

Eddie just opened his mouth, and Batman snatched in front of him and said, "There is another life form in your body. You are counted as two individuals, so you are a small team alone. You have no other helpers."

Eddie widened his eyes and looked at him.

"The priest cannot attack anyone. No matter whether you or that mysterious creature is the priest, it means you two have no ability to attack others. You know how big a disadvantage this will bring you."

"What do you want to do?" Eddie lowered his center of gravity slightly, making a posture of wanting to attack.

"Don't be nervous, I'm saying we can cooperate," Batman threw out the heaviest bargaining chip. He said, "The rules never said that killing everyone can win, but anyone with a brain can think that this kind of rule is guiding us to kill each other, and this game is called unity."

Eddie's shoulders relaxed slightly, but he still stared at Batman tightly, not showing any signs of wavering.

"Although so, not everyone is a smart person. There will definitely be people among the participants who understand this as a massacre. If you are unlucky enough to encounter such a person, the chance of survival is very low."

"But I am different from them. I know that the key to this game may be the secret behind the thick fog. If you can provide me with enough information, I can escort you for a while, or let you find a safe place to hide. Once I find the way to clear the level, you can also leave."

Eddie seemed to be moved. He just got distracted, and three batarangs flashing with cold light brushed past his ear. Eddie was startled and glared at Batman fiercely.

Batman looked at him and said, "If you don't give me information, I won't let you leave either. You know the best choice is to cooperate."

Eddie immediately showed a tangled expression, wanting to move but not daring to move, but soon he said helplessly, "I don't have any information to provide you. I'm not a great detective."

"You must have seen something," Batman said very firmly, "Tell me what you know about that magic circle."

Eddie hesitated in place, and finally said, "I saw two people standing in front of the magic circle for a while."

The bystanders in the screening room immediately became nervous. Is this man named Eddie going to see the conversation between Schiller and Loki?

"One of them was wearing a long magic robe, holding a magic staff inlaid with gems in his hand," Eddie said while rolling his eyes and recalling, "It was black hair, couldn't see what color eyes, but his hands would glow."

"How did he appear?"

"Didn't see, but after they left, they disappeared soon."

"What about the other one?"

"It was a young man wearing a white hoodie. Apart from being handsome, there was nothing special, black hair and blue eyes."

"Did you hear what they said?"

"I was hiding on the roof at the time, the wind was a bit strong, it seemed to be saying something about magic runes, the two of them reached a cooperation, saying they wanted to find clues to these patterns together, nothing else was heard."

Batman took a step forward, and Eddie stiffened again. He shouted in place, "Don't come over, you look like that kind of antisocial lunatic."

Batman didn't care at all, and continued, "You saw more than that, right? How about this, I said I would protect your safety, I will definitely fulfill it. Let's talk as we walk. Where are you going?"

"I don't know either," Eddie lowered his head, spread his hands and said, "I haven't even figured out the rules yet. I just want to find a safe place to stay first."

"I encountered a high-rise building on the way here. It didn't collapse very seriously. The underground parking lot should be a good place to go."

Eddie's footsteps paused, and he started to be dazed again, as if listening to the opinion of the creature in his brain. After he came back to his senses, he walked toward Batman without hesitation.

"Is he smarter than you?" Batman asked.

"Not really..."

"That's right, he is a damn idiot. I am probably ten million times smarter than him."

Even Batman was startled by this sudden hoarse and evil voice. The moment he turned to look at Eddie, he saw a pitch-black ghost face and a mouth full of sharp fangs.

Batman immediately became vigilant, his hand already touching the electric shock device on his waist.

"No, wait a minute," Eddie seemed to be able to deal with this situation very skillfully. He immediately retreated two steps, stretched out two hands and said, "His name is Venom, just a bit ugly. Believe me, he is not a bad person."

"God, Venom, stop making trouble, otherwise we will all die... Alright, alright, you are not ugly, you are the most handsome symbiote in the world, okay?"

Batman saw Eddie fighting with himself, leaning left and right, fighting with the air for a long time before he let out a long breath, his hands on his knees panting.

"Sorry, he is a bit disobedient, but please believe that he is a rational, communicable intelligent life, not some evil supervillain, and he is indeed smarter than me. He thinks you are trustworthy, so let's go."

Batman was a bit hesitant.

But at this time Eddie sighed and said, "I did see something else, but it was a bit weird. I was worried you wouldn't believe it so I didn't say it. He said he could tell you, maybe you can study something. If you want to hear it, let's talk as we walk."

Batman still walked forward with Eddie. He turned to look at Eddie and said, "We have all come here to participate in the game, what else is impossible? Tell me what you saw."

"Have you seen other magic circles?" Eddie asked.

Batman nodded, but didn't say much.

"Then do you know how they appeared?"

Batman shook his head, and then looked at Eddie with inquiring eyes. Eddie sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, my totem fragment was found in that building with the magic circle."

Batman immediately cheered up, because if so, Eddie was absolutely the first person among everyone to come to this building, and might have come before the magic circle appeared.

"I saw dark red light," Eddie said somewhat hesitantly, "It's a bit like the arrow pointing to the totem pole fragment on the map and the red light emitted from the location of the totem pole."

"And then the magic circle appeared?"

"I didn't see the specific process of appearing," Eddie shook his head lightly and said, "But there was nothing there originally. After the red light disappeared, I went out to look again, and a huge magic circle appeared there."

"Where did the red light shoot from?" Batman asked a key question.

This time Eddie was silent for a longer time, but finally he said, "From underground, it was from underground."

The screening room exploded again.

"Isn't that pattern drawn by Professor Schiller? Where did the red light come from? Could it be that Schiller also knows magic?" Nightwing said very surprised.

"I guess it might be a smoke bomb. The red light has nothing to do with the magic circle, but Professor Schiller took some means to make this man named Eddie think they were related," Red Robin speculated.

Peter pushed his glasses and said, "Let's look at the playback."

The lens froze on the side faces of the two, and the scene began to fly backward. The next second, the two faces that appeared on the screen became Eddie and Schiller.

"Long time no see, how have you been recently? Eddie, have you had regular psychological checkups?"

Eddie, who had just gone upstairs, let out a long breath and said, "Doctor, you don't have to be so anxious to prove your identity every time. Besides you, who else would make us do psychological assessments?"

"I'm also doing it for your own good."

"You are doing it for Nick's financial report," Eddie laughed and walked up to pat Schiller's arm, saying, "What are you doing here? Isn't your birth point not far from here?"

"That's not it. I just rushed over. Listen, I have a plan that needs your cooperation..."

The bystanders in the screening room were speechless.

"So these are all his acquaintances?!" Red Robin said with some disbelief, "Even if they are acquaintances, they should be vigilant against those criminals who will imitate others, right?"

"But I'm afraid that besides Dr. Schiller, no one will urge them to do psychological assessments every day," Peter shrugged and said, "This is the best anti-counterfeiting mark."

"I understand less and less what he is doing," Red Hood pursed his lips and said, "What is the benefit of uniting with others to deceive Batman?"

Jack suddenly laughed out of breath. After laughing for a while, he choked himself and coughed a few times before saying, "Although I think he might just think this is interesting, no one understands Batman better than him."

And the Batman beside him turned to look at him again. Jack turned to him and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Bat is a very mysterious creature, but not so mysterious. The one who understands Batman best is always the Joker."

"Usually, the Joker's biggest dream is to play games with Batman, but if the Joker is greedier, he can actually use Batman to do more things."

In the screen, Batman had already arrived at the underground parking lot with Eddie. Eddie surveyed the surrounding environment and sighed, saying, "Actually, you speculated correctly. My partner and I encountered some trouble. Now the best choice is to hide until the game ends."

"However, I hope you can not tell anyone about my hiding place. I'll stay here for a while. If you can win, then go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

"No," Batman suddenly shook his head and said, "You said that red light was emitted from underground, so I must go down and explore. Let's go together."

"Hooked," Venom said in Eddie's brain.
