Chapter 2801

In the end, Gordon still chose to follow the three of them to leave, because Schiller offered him a condition he couldn't refuse, which was to help him find his body and return the bodies of his companions to their rightful owners, so that their souls could rest in peace.

For this, Gordon was willing to help them and revealed more information. They could be considered the first batch of people to enter the hotel to investigate the abnormality, so naturally, they could find clues about them before many abnormal phenomena completed their transformation.

According to Gordon's own description, it wasn't just when the abnormality broke out comprehensively. Before this, they had already discovered that the abnormality that broke out in the city was related to water. And when they discovered that the same abnormality broke out in the hotel, they immediately thought that it might be the place with the most water in the hotel that had a problem.

Gordon and his teammates came to the swimming pool.

The hotel had two swimming pools, one was an indoor swimming pool, and one was an open-air infinity pool on the roof. The indoor swimming pool had stopped opening a while ago, and even the water had been drained, so only the open-air swimming pool on the roof remained.

Gordon and the others came to the roof of the building, but encountered eerie events there that they couldn't imagine in the first half of their lives. In the end, Gordon's head drove his companion's corpse and escaped.

"That place is very terrifying," Gordon said. "You will encounter unimaginable monsters. They will kill you, and they will also control you, and finally turn you into someone like me. That is a complete restricted area."

"I don't suggest exploring there first," Jeremiah said. "I haven't been to the roof either, but I suspect that the danger level of the floors is likely to increase floor by floor. If we can return to the lobby on the first floor, perhaps we can find a way to leave here."

"Did you come here just to leave?" Schiller asked back.

While discussing with the others, he sent a message to Peter. Currently, Peter's side was relatively safe, even quiet. If there was any relatively dangerous place, he could let him explore it first. Just investigating without breaking the rules, there was no danger for the time being.

But it was a pity that Peter told Schiller that the door leading to the roof couldn't be opened at all, and there was a 'temporarily closed' notice posted on it. Peter thought of some ways, but the door was like it had been welded shut, and no matter what he did, it wouldn't open.

He called the front desk and said he wanted to use the swimming pool, but the front desk told him he could use the indoor swimming pool. This made Schiller have to associate it with when Gordon and the others came in, the indoor swimming pool was stopped, while the open-air swimming pool was open. But for Peter, it was the opposite situation. Could it be because there was also a restraining relationship between them?

That is to say, on this timeline, it is very likely that the infinity pool has the advantage, but on Peter's timeline, it is already the indoor swimming pool that has the advantage.

Schiller let Peter go to the indoor swimming pool, but didn't let him go into the water, just let him go and smell the smell.

Peter was very puzzled by this instruction, but still did it. The indoor swimming pool was on the 7th floor. He took the elevator to the swimming pool. There were quite a few people swimming here. Peter smelled left and right, couldn't smell anything abnormal, so he had to send a message back to Schiller.

"Really?" Schiller asked. "Didn't you smell the disinfectant?"

Peter then suddenly realized and said, "Of course there is the smell of disinfectant, but which swimming pool doesn't have the smell of disinfectant? Isn't this very normal?"

It is too normal for swimming pool water to have the smell of disinfectant, but it seems a bit outrageous that the toilet water Schiller put in the bottle also has this smell.

Of course, it might just be the smell of toilet cleaner, but Schiller suspected that things were not that simple. The nature of the water might be the difference between the two swimming pools, and more likely the difference between the two factions.

Don't forget, at Peter's time point, there were almost no abnormalities left, which proved that one faction had already won. Schiller speculated that it was likely the conspiracy faction, because if it were the reckless faction, the hotel couldn't be in that peaceful scene.

But the toilet in room 1905 was still broken. When Peter went to check, he was splashed with water, and Schiller speculated that the toilet might be from the reckless faction, which proved that the reckless faction had not been completely wiped out, and it was very likely that some forces remained.

Could it be the indoor swimming pool?

Then why did the conspiracy faction almost influence the entire hotel, but couldn't influence the swimming pool?

No, they might have actually influenced it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people swimming there, but the water hadn't been completely replaced, which proved that this kind of water seemed to be impossible to eliminate.

Schiller had discovered before that this water had a restraining effect on the hallucination monsters in the room, which couldn't help Schiller from thinking more.

Cat Getan's pollution also appeared in the form of water.

Cat Getan's years of rainwater contained some dark substances. This is the setting of the vast majority of Cat Getan universes. The TV series didn't explicitly mention it, as if the entire Cat Getan was just so chaotic because of the gangs.

But since little Bruce had the heart to use the power of the Evil God to clear the dark power in Cat Getan, it proved that this was not groundless. This Cat Getan in the TV series might also have suffered from pollution.

Most of Cat Getan's pollution was let in by the Court of Owls, and behind the owls was Barbatos. Coincidentally, little Bruce also saw Barbatos that time. That is to say, the power in this hotel might not necessarily be only Outer Gods, but also possibly DC local power, and the status was not low.

Comparing who is stronger between Nyarlathotep and Barbatos is completely like Guan Yu fighting Qin Qiong. That street-roaming Nyarlathotep has been squatting on Barbatos's head for so long, didn't he also not make a move on him?

Most Outer Gods are indeed blind and foolish, but Nyarlathotep is not. This guy's subjective initiative is full. Schiller felt that as long as he could deal with Barbatos, he would definitely have made a move.

The so-called strong dragon doesn't suppress the local snake. Although the concept of Cthulhu mythology has been derived in both Marvel and DC, they are mainly American comics, so naturally, they won't let you easily make a move on a main character who promotes the plot, otherwise the subsequent stories won't be able to be written, right?

Since this is the case, DC local power must be added to the consideration. This water can't see any abnormality from the surface, so it might not necessarily be a product of the Old Ones.

It seems that this swimming pool has to be visited, Schiller thought, even if it is to determine whether DC local power exists in the hotel, it must be visited.

The best situation is to be able to go to the indoor swimming pool. What Gordon said about the indoor swimming pool not opening might not necessarily be true. But if you want to go to the indoor swimming pool, you have to go to the 7th floor. Even if the elevator is basically straightened out, it won't take long to go down. But if it really doesn't open, running this trip in vain will increase a lot of risks.

And the open-air swimming pool that Gordon said can be passed might also be a trap. Although he emphasized the danger, he didn't say any specific details. It is very likely that he is waiting for Schiller to step into the pit. And according to Jeremiah, the elevator upstairs has not been straightened out, which means they still have to play with building blocks themselves, which is even more difficult.

Schiller knew that if they continued to play according to the rules, time would definitely be too late. It wasn't about what happened to him here, the key was that Peter's side couldn't be calm forever. In Schiller's view, Peter's side had already reached the critical point of eruption.

His ultimate purpose for coming here was to save little Bruce, but if it was just this purpose, he didn't need to come in person. This hotel is dangerous, but if you throw the Scarlet Witch's team over, they have experience and powerful mutant abilities, plus the Scarlet Witch is now not just an angry human woman, but an angry mother. Nyarlathotep might be blown over by a somersault.

Schiller just wanted to know what Nyarlathotep wanted to do, how he targeted little Bruce, and what he wanted to use Batman for. This was what he came here to explore in person. It wouldn't work to leave it to a bunch of reckless people.

Nyarlathotep can run if he can't beat him. He runs out of the DC world, and no one can catch him. But his purpose and secrets will be buried forever. It's not that Schiller is slandering him, this guy doesn't have any good intentions no matter which universe he appears in. In case he thinks of going to harm the Marvel universe one day, there is a thousand-year thief, but no thousand-year defense against thieves.

But of course, Nyarlathotep is much better than that piece of shit, the Batman Who Laughs. Most of the things he does are driven by fun, similar to Schiller, and his level is quite good, carrying a kind of dark romantic epic beauty.

Schiller had just bit the bullet and played with shit, now he should be fighting with experts to relax himself.

Up to now, Schiller has been a diligent investigator within the rules, but because Nyarlathotep himself has the first move and has walked so many steps ahead, to catch up with the progress, some special measures must be taken.

Schiller intends to go to the roof.

Admittedly, this is a quite risky decision, and there is almost no room for implementation, because the elevator is not straightened out now, but Schiller doesn't intend to straighten it out. He has a bold idea.

Schiller returned to room 1905, stood by the window, and looked out along the window. There was actually nothing outside the window, and that city was more like a fake texture, but once Schiller moved his eyes away and only used his peripheral vision to scan outside the window, another hotel would arrive late.

Schiller believes that this hotel is the hotel where Peter is. Except for the hotel structure and the hotel he is in now being mirrored, he discovered that every day that passes, the hotel will move closer to this side, and the distance is about one meter.

If the abnormality broke out more than 20 days ago, and the hotel was divided into two at this time, then the distance between the two hotels at the beginning should be more than 40 meters, so by now, the interval has only left more than ten meters, which means that there are only more than ten days left from his day to Peter's day.

Theoretically speaking, as long as they wait for these ten-plus days, the two hotels will overlap. In this way, Schiller and Peter will be able to meet, but meeting has no meaning and doesn't solve any problems. Piling all the problems together, in the end, it will still explode a big one.

Now, with Cobblepot's joining and the restaurant as a stronghold, they don't need to play completely according to the hotel's rules, but can fully exert their creativity and do some things they want to do.
