Chapter 2803
Facts have proven that the saying 'learn math, physics, and chemistry well, and you can go anywhere without fear' is really a wake-up call.
Schiller photographed Jeremiah's blueprint and showed it to Peter, because of course he wasn't that unvigilant. If Jeremiah played tricks on the structure of the stairs, this would be the best time to wipe them all out. Currently, only Peter is trustworthy among everyone, and he also happens to understand this part of knowledge.
Peter looked at it carefully. Actually, there was nothing to see. The structure of this thing is simple to say, and there is basically no place to play tricks. As long as the connecting parts don't have problems, it's not a big problem for one person to pass at a time.
And Peter also added a windproof device on the basis of Jeremiah's design. He had also noticed the unusual strong wind outside the window when he opened the window several times before. Although this wind generally only blows from one direction, Peter still added some guardrails on both sides to prevent being blown down by the strong wind upstairs.
Seeing the modified blueprint, Jeremiah knew that Schiller also had accomplishments in this area, but he didn't ask much, but started the next step of the plan, which was to take screws from the door.
The screws Schiller got from the 19th floor were clearly not enough. They still had more than 20 floors to go up, and at least they had to dismantle the screws of three or four more floors. This matter had to be done by Schiller and Cobblepot together.
Schiller mainly went to the floors he had swept before, and Cobblepot was responsible for solving the 8th floor, which was the floor where the restaurant was located.
The good news is that there are more rooms on the 8th floor. Although they are not all guest rooms, the doorplates of other rooms can also be dismantled for screws. The bad news is that Schiller's candles are not many, so he didn't light the candles to go this time. The Bishop is a clerical staff member and not very good at fighting, so he suffered some injuries.
Jeremiah bandaged Schiller's arm wound. The wound was on the left forearm, looking like it was scratched by something. Jeremiah shook his head and said, "Do we really not rest here for a while? I think we all need to recover."
"Actually, you also want to make a move, don't you?" the Bishop said. "You actually don't care about the life or death of us people at all, and you don't even care about your own. I saw the mark you left for your brother. You let him find a way to go to the roof to see, right?"
Jeremiah hummed and didn't refute. He clearly had been keeping in touch with Jerome, because they were in the past timeline, so whatever mark Jeremiah left, Jerome could see.
And now Jerome also knew that Peter had the ability to communicate with this side in real-time. Once he had any discoveries, he would definitely tell Jeremiah.
It wasn't that Schiller looked down on Peter. The Amazing Spider-Man of the main universe still had abilities. The problem was that his moral bottom line was a bit too high. At most, he could do some petty theft for the sake of the big picture. Those more Cat Getan-like methods he couldn't use, but Jerome could, so his investigation was destined to have more progress than Peter's.
But Schiller himself knew Spider-Man's advantages. Spider-Man has a common characteristic: they are the kind of scholar personality and have great potential to develop into mad scientists. The Spider-Man of Schiller's universe is like this. Their focus sometimes makes it easier for them to discover the true face of things, which is two completely different paths from a madman.
Schiller let Peter find the library in the hotel. At least there is a library in the Wei En Hotel in Schiller's universe, right next to the leisure and entertainment area, and it should not be far from the elevator. The danger is not great, but it is very likely to hide some secrets.
In the Cthulhu mythology system, the library is a place where harvest and risk coexist, and entering it requires some special abilities. Extremely high focus is the magic weapon for obtaining forbidden knowledge.
Peter and Jerome were busy with their own things in the other hotel. Not long after, Jerome sent back good news.
The elevator on their side is usable, so he can go to the top floor first, and then look up from the window of the corridor on the top floor.
Of course, it's not looking at the hotel on his side, but looking at the opposite hotel. Under normal circumstances, the opposite hotel cannot be looked at directly and can only be seen with peripheral vision, but there are exceptions. Schiller discovered before that at midnight, the hotel would not disappear because the gaze moved away.
However, the hotel at night is more dangerous, and the vision is not good. Jerome didn't see much. He just told Schiller that there was a castle on the roof of the hotel.
Everyone who got this news felt it was very absurd, but there were so many monsters in the hotel, it was not a very strange thing to have a castle on the roof.
After basically determining all the situations, everyone began to construct between the two buildings. Because all the things in the hotel couldn't be used, there were no safety ropes or anything. Basically, the parts were nailed and assembled indoors, and then sent outdoors.
In the field of outdoor construction engineering, more than ten meters is actually not far. Even if you throw it like throwing a javelin, you can throw some building parts to the opposite side. As long as the first road to the opposite side is built successfully, the rest is just repetitive work.
Building the first road took them about four hours, working from dark to dawn. The main reason is that someone must look at the hotel with peripheral vision during the period to anchor the existence of the hotel, otherwise, if the hotel disappears, the road will collapse.
Because the hotel moves one meter closer to this side every other day, even if Jeremiah has left redundancy on the design drawing, they still have to spend about 2-3 hours transforming it every day. If there are two consecutive days without moving, then this thing will also collapse.
In general, there are shortcomings everywhere, and it is expensive and troublesome, but so many shortcomings can't compare to the only role of this road, which is to let Schiller and the others no longer rely on the elevator in the hotel.
Spending about a day and a night, everything else was finished. Jeremiah stepped on the bone stairs first and felt there was no problem. Next is to study the order of going up.
The load-bearing capacity of the stairs is limited, and only one person can pass at a time. Assuming that the quality of the stairs is no problem, if you want to make this group of people reduce their numbers, there is only one method left, which is to be the first or last person to go up. When someone is on the stairs, turn your head and don't look at the hotel, let the hotel disappear directly, and the stairs will naturally fall down along with the people on the stairs.
Of course, you can also climb up in the middle of the night, but they really don't need to waste another day, so the few of them decided that Schiller would go up first, and Jeremiah would go up last.
At least the two of them are people who are not contaminated on the surface, and Cobblepot and Gordon themselves can't guarantee that they won't do anything, so it was finally decided this way.
Schiller took a deep breath before stepping on the bone stairs. He didn't have any feelings like 'one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither'. He just had a painful arm. The wound on his hand was actually scratched by himself, because in the process of taking the elevator, he encountered Kaleidoscope. To prevent being dragged into the mirror, he used his blood to blur the lens.
Schiller held the handrail of the stairs and walked up carefully. During the period, strong winds blew several times, but fortunately, there were handrails. The stairs didn't have large walls, and the area receiving the wind was not very large, so it was quite stable.
Climbing more than 20 floors is originally a strenuous job, and there is strong wind interference, and the stairs are not easy to walk. Schiller climbed for nearly an hour before going up.
As soon as he reached the roof, he was stunned.
Where is this castle? Isn't this Wei En Manor???
The building in front of him looks like Wei En Manor, but it's not strange that Jerome would see it as a castle, because what is surrounded outside is not the fence of Wei En Manor at all, but a city wall, and there is even a pile of cannons on the city wall.
Wei En Manor originally had many Gothic pointed windows, but now they have all become small urn windows, embedded in the surface of the magnificent Gothic building, looking very uncoordinated.
Schiller had a bad premonition, and his premonition reached its peak when he saw Martha's footprints stained with water in front of the castle gate.
Isn't Martha Wei En in the room a hallucination??
That only proves that Wei En might have come to the Wei En Hotel when she was pregnant with little Bruce, but the hallucination in the room can't affect places outside the room. And if Martha's footprints appear here, it proves that Martha once came here in reality.
But that was 20 years ago. How could the footprints still remain? Could it be that Martha came to the swimming pool on the roof in the middle of the night that year? What did she run to the swimming pool for?
Schiller always felt that they might have explored some unknown secrets, but in the Cthulhu mythology system, the bigger the secret, the bigger the danger.
Not long after, Cobblepot also came up. Seeing such a big Wei En Manor, or rather, Wei En Castle, he was also taken aback.
Following was Gordon. He raised his eyebrows when he saw this castle. Schiller understood as soon as he saw his expression that he knew a lot.
But Schiller didn't pursue the question either, because he was clear that sometimes the more you know, the faster you die. Old knowledge is a double-edged sword, and stories might be too.
After Jeremiah came up, they divided their forces according to the initial plan.
Under such circumstances, dividing forces is the most stupid choice, but they have to do so because they must leave a group of people here to watch the hotel. If the hotel disappears, their retreat will all be gone.
If one person is left here, there is no resistance ability, which is almost a sacrifice in vain, so it is better to leave two.
Because Jerome is relatively seriously injured, Cobblepot, who devoured the restaurant, can be considered the stronger one among them. In the end, it was decided that the two of them would stay, and Schiller and Gordon would enter the castle to explore.
Schiller didn't quite hope that the four of them would enter together, because the target would be too big. But entering with Gordon, who had been here before, was equally dangerous. As long as he interfered with Schiller's judgment at a critical moment, it would make it easier for Schiller to capsize in the gutter.
However, there was no better choice at this time. Schiller could only take a gamble. He knew Gordon had his own purpose, but he didn't think the last conscience of Cat Getan would degenerate so easily. If he was for the good of this city, he would soon discover that sincere cooperation with himself would be the best way to solve the problem.
