American Comics: Gambit Guide Batman

Chapter 3217 The Haze of Faraynes (14)

There is absolutely nothing to say about Batman's willpower, but in this kind of game it is another matter. Although Schiller thinks that he should give himself enough willpower points, if he jumps to a higher level and fights monsters, it will be too much.

It doesn't matter how high it is.

Looking at Batman like this, he must have come into contact with some high-level beings, at least higher than the Deep Ones, and accidentally fell into his trap.

But Batman must not be defenseless and powerless, otherwise he would not frequently behave abnormally, arousing Schiller's vigilance.

If Batman really behaves as usual, Schiller really can't say that he won't be deceived by him, but Batman's performance is so wrong, as if the words "There is something wrong with me" are written on his face

On the occasion, Schiller felt that he was not being controlled by someone, but that something might have affected his mind.

This reminded Schiller of the little girl who behaved strangely, that is, Jeff's youngest daughter. She also looked fine on the outside, but she just revealed a weirdness.

Schiller thought that he had found the Book of the Water God in the cellar of Jeff's house. There was nothing in the boxes covering the book, except for the top box which contained some scraps of fodder.

The feed piled in the cellar is used to raise animals. Although Schiller has never been involved in animal husbandry, he roughly understands the principles of breeding. These livestock raised for food often do not just need to be put on the mountains to graze.

.

Generally speaking, no matter how abundant the pasture is, ranchers will definitely hoard feed because sometimes the weather is bad, and sometimes the pasture cannot provide enough nutrients to keep the livestock's weight up to standard, and additional supplements are needed.

Schiller calculated the date. The day the diary mentioned that Jeff's family's sheep was lost was not that early. It should also be winter. Although goats can eat grass roots, there is no fresh grass after all. Jeff may have to use it.

Feed them to supplement their nutrition.

The boxes placed above the Book of Water God were obviously obstacles used by Jeff to hide the traces of the book. He deliberately did not put feed in them, perhaps because he was worried that the book might affect the feed.

But Schiller found that the top box contained traces of feed, which meant that someone had put feed in that box.

Although this book doesn't look like it's poisonous, it's hard to tell what kind of horrible thing it is, and no one knows what impact it will have if you put something in the entrance on top of it.

If something went wrong with the feed, there might be an explanation for the goat that suddenly disappeared.

Batman is like the goat, and also like the little daughter of Jeff's family. They don't look abnormal, but they are just disguises. They use seemingly normal behaviors to lure people step by step.

into a trap.

To be honest, this doesn't look like the style of the Cthulhu Mythos, but more like the style of a demon.

"There are no demons in this game." The Transcendent said loudly: "There is no heaven and hell, and there is no magician in the true sense. You can directly rule out this inference."

Schiller understood that this was obviously not a copy of Sword and Magic. It was definitely impossible to engage in a battle between heaven and hell or a battle between magic and magic.

So this seems a bit man-made.

Except for Naija, the high-level existences in the Cthulhu mythology system have basically nothing to do with cunning. They don't engage in conspiracy, and they don't deliberately murder anyone. They just exist so quietly. Everything happens because of them.

The only thing that collapses is the inability to restrain the greed for taboos.

Schiller doesn't think Batman is a greedy person. If he can restrain his desires well, then he may be on the right track.

Schiller checked Batman's body and found nothing suspicious, but found a wound on his right hand. It seemed that the bloody spells in the study were written by him with his own blood.

Reminiscent of Batman using psychoanalysis, it probably meant that his mental health was depleted. He had to use this skill to turn the tide, but failed and went crazy.

No, it's possible that it wasn't a failure, but that it was the psychoanalytic method that caused his already low mental health to plummet.

Look, what is he talking about? This thing is not reliable at all. Except for Schiller, whoever uses it will die.

Schiller sighed inwardly, but he still had to find a way to save Batman.

Just when he was thinking about where to trigger a few battles, let his skills cool down, and restore some sanity points to Batman, Batman lying on the ground suddenly let out a muffled groan.

Schiller was startled. He had not forgotten that Batman was still in a state of madness. He had no confidence that he could beat the crazy Batman.

Watching Batman slowly get up from the ground, Schiller grasped the crowbar with one hand and touched the pistol with the other. As long as the other party showed anything wrong, he would take action immediately.

But Batman just rolled over and lay down again, and Schiller heard him say, "I'm fine."

"What's wrong with you?" Schiller still couldn't completely trust him, so he still stood two meters away.

He saw that the wound on the back of Batman's head was gradually healing, and guessed that he should have used a healing skill, but he felt that the opponent's mental health value had not improved yet, because he also knew that there was no skill in the skill list that could directly restore this value.

.

"Something's wrong," Batman said. "Have you ever considered why when we're mentally unhealthy, we go crazy?"

Schiller was stunned by his question. He said: "You might as well ask directly, why do we go crazy when we go crazy?"

"I mean, why do we go crazy when we hit rock bottom? Is that who we are?"

Now that there is no battle triggered, they cannot directly say some words related to skills and numerical values, but can only hint in roundabout ways.

Schiller is not stupid, he understood Batman's hint, and Batman was actually asking why they went crazy after their mental health hit bottom.

Schiller has always felt that this is actually a setting. As for game settings, don’t worry about it so much. If the value reaches the bottom, there must be a penalty. If the blood volume reaches the bottom, won’t you also die?

But Batman seems to have a different view.

"Someone told me that I was cursed." Batman said: "An indescribable magical existence. Contact with him made my spirit completely fall to the bottom, but just when I was about to go crazy, he helped me break free.

some, and told me the truth."

"who is he?"

"He said his name was Dagon."

Schiller was shocked. Sure enough, Batman had really come into contact with the Old Ones. Dagon was the god believed by the Deep Divers.

However, as far as he knew, Dagon was very mysterious. Mr. Ke would occasionally catch two boats, but this guy seemed to have been living on the bottom of the sea without much action. He had never heard of anyone he communicated with. Most of the sailors did not

I just dreamed of such a monster and saw some vague shadows, but Batman actually contacted him?

"Why would he help you?" This is what Schiller is most puzzled about. Dagon is the fish god. He should have no good impression of humans, and he is unlikely to take the initiative to help humans.

"He found it very strange."

"What?"

Check out the correct version one by one!

"I said, I found the correct application of psychoanalysis." Batman said: "He was very shocked by what I saw. He thought I was the same kind as him."

Schiller was stunned.

He seemed to understand what Batman was saying, but it was because he understood that it felt absurd.

Schiller himself knew that when his mental state deteriorated to a certain level, his psychoanalytic talent would gradually emerge, but it was more like some bizarre and seemingly unfounded hallucinations than a talent.

But these hallucinations can accurately foreshadow many things, and can even serve as his senses, allowing him to understand the world more clearly than before.

The Transcendent has said before that the third-level psychoanalysis method is actually to connect one's own talents. In other words, people who click on this skill may also see more things as their mental state worsens.

If Batman really has this skill maxed out, and he happens to be at extremely low mental health, then the hallucinations he sees must be astonishing.

If he communicated with Dagon mentally in this situation, what would Dagon think of the hallucinations in Batman's mind?

According to Batman, Dagon was also shocked.

This world is so crazy that humans can mentally pollute the Old Ones.

However, it seems that it was precisely because of this bizarre mental state that Dagon did not feel that Batman was a human being. He may have thought that Batman was an Old One similar to him, so he simply helped him.

Schiller suspected that it might be these hallucinations that gave Batman the ability to communicate with Dagon. After all, the Old Ones did not speak human language, and the messages they transmitted spiritually were contaminating, and special tools had to be used.

You can communicate with them through different methods, and Batman probably doesn't know any special methods.

Schiller's gifted senses, which happened to be fully activated, were confused, and all his methods of perceiving the world were through hallucinations. Instead, he transformed Dagon's language into hallucinations that he could understand.

This is true that times are progressing and society is developing. Human beings are no longer satisfied with accepting God's gifts and have begun to directly use the black tiger to dig out their hearts.

But it may have been this coincidence that saved Batman and pulled him back from the brink of complete madness.

"What's the curse?" Schiller was shocked for a while and then remembered to ask.

"It's literally a curse that when our mental state deteriorates, we go crazy," Batman said.

This made Schiller think. He originally thought that this was actually a game setting. After all, the Beyonder had emphasized it, but even though it was a setting, it didn't mean that he couldn't make up a story, or that it would be included in a relatively careful script.

The player's special abnormal state can be used to create stories, which can enhance the sense of immersion, instead of thinking of settings as soon as one encounters this state.

It's quite abnormal when you think about it carefully. Batman's experience shows that the madness after losing all his mental health is not to attack everyone indiscriminately, but to carefully set up a trap and lead people through it.

It's not like he's going crazy at all, but like he's being controlled by something. If I have to say it, it's a bit like being possessed. He's completely irrational. It's really strange that he can do such a thing.

Schiller thought for a while and said: "Although we all have our own reasons for coming here, it can also be said to be a kind of fate. Perhaps it is precisely because we have the same curse that we came to such a remote place at the same time."

"Where do you think the curse will come from?" Batman looked at him and asked.

Schiller did not speak, but turned his head silently and focused his gaze on the towering cross beside him.
