Chapter 2814: The Demonic Forbidden Zone (Ten)
Facts have proved that if you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling around the world.
Schiller took a photo of Jerome's drawings and showed it to Peter, because he was certainly not so careless. If Jerome tampered with the structure of the stairs, this would be the best time to wipe them out. At present, only Peter was trustworthy among all the people, and he just happened to understand this part of knowledge.
Peter took a closer look, but there was actually nothing to see. The structure of this thing was simple to say, and there was basically no place to tamper with it. As long as there was no problem with the connecting parts, it would not be a problem for one person to pass through at one time.
In addition, Peter also added a windproof device based on Jerome's design. He had noticed the unusual strong wind outside the window several times he opened the window before. Although the wind usually only blew from one direction, Peter still added some guardrails on both sides to prevent the wind from blowing down from the upper floor.
Seeing the altered drawings, Jerome knew that Schiller also had attainments in this area, but he did not ask more questions, but started the next step of the plan, which was to take the screws from the door.
The screws that Schiller had fixed on the 19th floor were obviously not enough. They still had more than 20 floors to go up, and at least three or four more floors of screws had to be removed. Schiller and Cobert had to do this together.
Schiller mainly went to the floors he had swept before, while Cobert was responsible for solving the 8th floor, which was where the restaurant was located.
The good news was that there were more rooms on the 8th floor. Although not all of them were guest rooms, the screws on the doorplates of other rooms could also be removed. The bad news was that Schiller had few candles, so he did not light them this time. The bishop was a civilian and not very good at fighting, so he was injured.
Jerome bandaged Schiller's arm wound, which was on the left forearm. It looked like something had scratched it. Jerome shook his head and said, "Are we really not going to rest here for a while? I think we all need to recover."
"You actually want to do it, don't you?" The bishop said, "You don't really care about the lives of us, or even your own. I saw the mark you left for your brother. You asked him to find a way to go to the roof, right?"
Jerome snorted, but didn't refute. He obviously kept in touch with Jerome, because they were in the past timeline, so Jerome could see any mark Jerome left.
And now Jerome also knows that Peter has the ability to communicate with this side in real time. Once he finds something, he will definitely tell Jerome.
It's not that Schiller looks down on Peter. The Amazing Spider-Man of the main universe still has some ability. The problem is that the moral bottom line is a bit too high. At most, he can do some petty theft for the overall situation. He can't use those more Gotham methods, but Jerome can, so his investigation is destined to make more progress than Peter.
But Schiller himself knows Spider-Man's advantages. Spider-Mans have a common characteristic. They are the kind of scholar-type personality, and they have great potential to develop into crazy scientists. The Spider-Man in Schiller's universe is like this. Their concentration sometimes makes it easier for them to discover the true nature of things. This is a completely different path from a madman.
Schiller asked Peter to find the library in the hotel. At least there is a library in the Wayne Hotel in Schiller's universe. It is right next to the leisure and entertainment area. 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 gains and risks coexist, and entering it requires some special abilities. Extremely high concentration is the only way to obtain taboo knowledge.
Peter and Jerome were busy in another hotel. After a while, Jerome sent back good news.
The elevator over there is easy to use, 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, he was not looking at the hotel on his side, but at the hotel opposite. Normally, the hotel opposite could not be seen directly, but could only be seen with peripheral vision. However, there were exceptions. Schiller had discovered before that the hotel would not disappear in the middle of the night because of his eyes moving away.
However, the hotel at night was more dangerous and the vision was not good. Jerome did not see much. He just told Schiller that there was a castle on the roof of the hotel.
Everyone who got the news thought it was ridiculous, but there were so many monsters in the hotel, and it was not very unusual to have a castle on the roof.
After almost confirming all the situations, everyone started to work between the two buildings. Since everything in the hotel could not be used, there was no safety rope or anything. Basically, the parts were nailed together indoors and then sent to the outdoors.
In the field of outdoor construction engineering, more than ten meters is not far. Even if you throw it like a javelin, you can throw some building parts to the opposite side. As long as the first road to the opposite side is successfully built, the rest is nothing more than repeated work.
It took them about four hours to build the first road, from dusk to dawn. The main reason was that one person had to keep an eye on the hotel to anchor the hotel's existence, otherwise the road would collapse once the hotel disappeared.
Because the hotel would move one meter closer to this side every other day, even though Jerome had left redundancy in the design, they still had to spend about 2 to 3 hours every day to renovate it. If it was not moved for two consecutive days, it would collapse.
In general, there are disadvantages everywhere, it is expensive and troublesome, but so many disadvantages are not worth the only function of this road, that is, Schiller and his team no longer have to rely on the elevator in the hotel.
It took about a day and a night to get the rest of the parts done. Jerome was the first to step on it and felt that there was no problem. The next step was to study the order of going up.
The load-bearing capacity of the stairs is limited, and only one person can pass through at a time. Assuming that the quality of the stairs is fine, there is only one way to reduce the number of people in this group, that is, to be the first or last person to go up. When someone is on the stairs, turn around and don't look at the hotel, and make the hotel disappear directly. The stairs will naturally fall down with all the people on the stairs.
Of course, they can also climb up in the middle of the night, but they really don't need to waste another day, so they decided that Schiller would be the first to go up and Jerome would be the last to go up.
At least the two of them were people who were not contaminated on the surface, and Cobert and Gordon themselves could not guarantee that they would not do anything, so they finally decided.
Schiller took a deep breath before stepping onto the bone staircase. He didn't have any feelings like "one general's success is the result of thousands of sacrifices". His arm just hurt a little. The wound on his hand was actually cut by himself, because he encountered a kaleidoscope while riding the elevator. In order to prevent being dragged into the mirror, he used his own blood to smudge the lens.
Schiller walked up carefully holding the handrail of the stairs. During the period, strong winds blew several times, but fortunately there were handrails and the stairs had no large area of walls. The area affected by the wind was not very large and it was still stable.
Climbing more than 20 floors is a strenuous job. There was a strong wind and the stairs were not easy to walk. Schiller climbed for nearly an hour before climbing up.
As soon as he reached the top of the building, he was stunned.
How could this be a castle? Isn't this Wayne Manor? ? ?
The building in front of him looked like Wayne Manor, but it was not surprising that Jerome would think it was a castle, because the fence outside was not Wayne Manor at all, but a city wall, and there were even a bunch of artillery on the city wall.
There were many Gothic spires in Wayne Manor, but now they have all become small urn windows, which are inlaid on the surface of the gorgeous Gothic architecture, which looks very inconsistent.
Schiller had a bad premonition, and his premonition reached its peak when he saw Martha's footprints in front of the castle gate.
Isn't Martha Wayne in the room an illusion? ?
That only proves that Wayne may have come to the Wayne Hotel when she was pregnant with little Bruce, but the illusion in the room cannot affect the outside of the room, and if Martha's footprints appear here, it proves that Martha has been here in reality.
But that was 20 years ago, how could the footprints still remain? Did Martha leave the room in the middle of the night and come to the swimming pool on the roof? Why did she run to the swimming pool?
Schiller always felt that they might have explored some unknown secrets, but in the Cthulhu mythology system, the bigger the secret, the greater the danger.
Not long after, Cobblepot also came up. Seeing such a large Wayne Manor, or Wayne Castle, he was also surprised.
Next came Gordon. He raised his eyebrows when he saw the castle. Schiller saw his expression and understood that he knew a lot.
But Schiller did not ask further, because he knew that sometimes the more you know, the faster you die. Old knowledge is a double-edged sword, and the story may be the same.
After Jerome came up, they divided their forces according to the original plan.
In this case, dividing the troops is the stupidest choice, but they have to do so, because they have to leave a group of people here to watch the hotel. If the hotel disappears, they will have no way out.
If one person is left here, there is no resistance, and it is almost a sacrifice in vain, so it is better to leave two.
Because Jerome was seriously injured, Cobblepot, who devoured the restaurant, was 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 really want the four of them to go in together, because that would make them too conspicuous. But it would be equally dangerous to go in with Gordon, who had been here before. As long as he interfered with Schiller's judgment at a critical moment, it would make it easier for Schiller to capsize.
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 Gotham's conscience would be so easily corrupted. If he was doing it for the good of the city, he would soon find that sincere cooperation with himself would be the best way to solve the problem.
