Just two minutes ago, the hospital had a power outage.

Bei Bat walked alone in the dark corridor, and the long corridor had only a faint moonlight at the end of the sides, which dragged his shadow for a long time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure standing behind him in the windows of the wards on either side.

Bei Bat turned his head slowly, but there was nothing behind him.

Instead of turning back and walking forward, he turned to the side, facing a window on the wall of a corridor, and sure enough, he saw the figure behind him, it was Schiller in a gorgeous suit.

On the dim glass without light, the suit was no longer so bright, reminiscent of withered flowers or faded scales, the tall figure sinking into the darkness, the moonlight streaming down one shoulder.

"Why follow me?" The Adam's apple of the bat's body moved.

"Why do you want to see me?" Schiller asked rhetorically.

Bei Bat clenched his fists in some anger, he stared at the figure in the glass reflection and said, "Don't make it look like you see through me, you don't." ”

"How does it make you feel to counter violence with violence?" Schiller asked.

Bei Bat's fists clenched suddenly, he took a deep breath, looked at the reflection in the glass, and said, "That's unjust, it's no different from what those bastards who want to turn the world upside down." ”

"But that makes you feel good."

"I don't feel that way."

"Someone once told you that it's not right to resort to violence." Schiller's voice slowly echoed through the dark corridors, as if on an empty stage, and the audience was only Batman, but it seemed like there were thousands of them.

"Because of your kindness to her, you have thought so seriously about his exhortation to you, and your reason is telling you that what she said is very reasonable, and that there is no end to countering violence with violence, and it will only make you fall into the abyss of darkness."

"Just like you." Bei Bat let go of his fist, and kept recalling the scenes he had seen in the hallucination just now.

The back of the prey walking into the bathroom, the huge picture depicting the naked body, the red fish jumping alive, the beans rolling down, and the blooming flowers......

"But that makes me feel good."

Bei Bat saw the figure behind him take a step closer to him and put his hand on his shoulder again.

"You ask me if I'm enjoying it and I answer you 'yes,' and when you learn they're my enemies, it makes you feel good because I did what you didn't."

"It's something I chose not to do."

"Do you really have a choice?"

Schiller's figure disappeared, Bei Bat looked at the empty glass in a bit of a daze, Schiller's voice had completely disappeared into the empty corridor, but it always surrounded his ears.

After a while, he turned his head and said, "No matter what you say, I will not do what you did, it is wrong and too cruel." ”

Schiller did not respond.

This made Bei Bat feel a kind of depression, as if the quarrel was not played well, and the other party had already left.

He thought to himself that he could have found many reasons to refute Schiller, to show him that he was doing the right thing, and that his barbaric and cruel method of revenge was wrong, but he did not say it.

He didn't know why, but he was actually very good at debating, his brain was spinning very fast, and his language logic was very clear, and few people had been able to beat him in words before.

But when Schiller's voice sounded, he felt that his heart was on fire, reason was gone, and all that was left was chaos and noisy emotions, which made him desperate to output emotions, instead of reasoning, like a madman.

At this moment, Bei Bat made up his mind that if the evil ghost who followed him dared to come out next time, he would definitely convince him.

Bei Bat continued to walk forward until he came to the staircase, and as soon as he was about to go down, he saw the figure reappear in the glass of the stairwell.

"Keep going up and you'll come across the hunt."

Bei Bat heard Schiller's voice again, and he remembered what Schiller had told him earlier in the examination room that his demonic personality was now free to move, and he had mentioned four names.

Bei Bat knew that the hallucination was actually what happened when the four personalities were in charge of Schiller's body, and that the hunt was clearly the personality trait that chased the prey all the way to the bathroom cubicle on the dance floor.

Bei Bat took a deep breath and closed his eyes to reflect on some of the details he had seen in his hallucination.

The prey was a woman in a golden dress, with short gray curly hair, who should be around 50 years old, and the jewelry on her body was gorgeous and extravagant, showing her status as a high-class person.

In the afterglow of that hazy vision, Bei Bat saw many well-dressed upper-class people like this woman.

Like every ball he had attended at a night in Gotham, they had been dressed in smooth, smooth silk and wool, draped in all kinds of gems, and crowded onto the dance floor like sardines, and Batman had been close enough to hear their pulse.

And none of them knew what kind of anger was burning in Bruce Wayne's heart, or some of them knew, but no one cared.

Bei Bat came to his senses, and Schiller on the glass looked at him and said, "Don't turn around and run away, don't let your guard down...... I'll be waiting for you at the next intersection. ”

The reflection on the glass is gone.

Walking up the stairwell, Bei Bat felt the gloom and coldness of the atmosphere, and the moment he stepped on the floor of the corridor with both feet at the same time, a red shadow rushed towards him.

The pale female ghost dressed in red clothes and staring at blood-red eyes stretched out her two ghost claws and pounced straight towards Bei Bat at an extremely fast speed.

The bat flashed nimbly to the side, and the female ghost let out a scream without making a splash.

Bei Bat was just about to turn around to look at the female ghost behind him, as if he had thought of something, and took a pause.

He remembered that in the hallucinatory scene, only the back of the woman in the golden dress was clear, and the rest of the people were very hazy and blurry, and they couldn't even see the specific location, only a faint black shadow.

"Don't turn around and run away...... Bei Bat whispered.

He realized something, so he stopped where he was, raised his head slightly, straightened his neck and walked forward, completely ignoring the female ghost rushing behind him.

The female ghost followed, and the eerie cold made Bei Bat feel a chill in his back, and he glanced out of the corner of his eye to see the head of the black-haired female ghost sticking out of the side of his neck.

Bei Bat could only see the side of her face, a large blood-red eye that was turning to stare at him, and an open grin, with a cruel, cold smile in her eyes.

The shell bat walked forward without squinting.

The female ghost's expression became more and more cracked, blood began to flow from her blood-red eyes, and black liquid came out of her mouth, making her whole face look even more terrifying.

The pair of eerie ghost claws also put on Bei Bat's body, although there was no touch, but Bei Bat still saw from the reflection of the glass that the female ghost's hand was slowly moving up, as if to choke his neck.

Bei Bat pursed his lips, didn't look at her, and continued to stride forward.

The female ghost let out a high-pitched howl close to his ear, this time it was finally a little real damage, Bei Bat was shocked to the point that his hair was dizzy, and his eardrums were buzzing, but he still endured the discomfort and walked straight forward.

On the window on the other side of the hallway, a figure of a young Schiller in a black shirt appeared, the same Schiller in the bathroom mirror that Bei Bat had seen in his hallucinations.

He held a cold-shining sharp knife in his hand, as if it was the one he used to finish his prey in the bathroom, and stared at Bei Bat with a cold face.

Bei Bat slowed down, but still moved forward.

The female ghost began to let out a terrifying howl, the ceiling lamp kept shaking and trembling, and the plaster ceiling began to crack and fall debris as if it would fall down at any moment.

Bei Ba's steps were a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he seemed to confirm his guess, facing the window with Schiller's reflection head-on, and walked forward with firm steps.

The female ghost seemed to finally break down, and she let go of Bei Ba, knelt on the ground, and began to let out a very terrible cry.

The cry didn't sound like a female ghost, but like a woman who felt extremely sad.

Bei Bat finally stopped.

The female ghost cried even harder, Bei Bat slowly closed her eyes, clenched her fists slightly again, and then walked quickly to the end of the corridor without looking back.

He was already standing in front of the window where the hunt was, and to his right was the stairwell leading to the next floor.

But instead of turning to the right, Bei Bat took two steps to the right, then turned to the left, and then walked backwards towards the stairwell, never taking his eyes off the window where the hunt's reflection was.

He just went backwards and groped his way up the stairs with the handrail.

No, there's still something wrong, Bei Bat thought.

The two sentences given by the schiller in the fancy suit are a reminder that "don't turn and run away" means never turning your back on the pursuit.

In his hallucinations, Bei Bat saw that only the woman walking towards the bathroom with her back to him was completely clear in the field of vision, and could even see the details of the ornaments she wore on her wrists and neck.

But everyone in the afterglow was a little too blurry, and even the boundary line was blurred, and only some faint black shadows could be seen, which was actually not normal.

Although the secondary vision of humans is not as clear as the primary vision, it is impossible for all the images within the field of vision to be blurred like that when there is no problem with the vision.

This may indicate that the hunt can only see the back of the prey, or that he can see the back most clearly.

This is also in line with the rules of hunting, hunters are not fighters, they do not fight their prey head-on, they either lay traps, or shoot from a distance, and then chase the injured prey, all you can see is the back of the prey.

And the female ghost was either coerced by Schiller, or cooperated with him, and the purpose from beginning to end was to seduce Bei Bat to turn around, and once Bei Bat turned to face the female ghost, his back was left to the pursuer standing at the end of the corridor, so that he would become prey.

So, no matter how noisy the female ghost was, Bei Bat resolutely did not look back or turn around, even if the hunt appeared in person and made a threatening gesture, he could not see it, but just walked towards him.

Sure enough, Hunt Hunt stood quietly in the mirror, if you looked closely, his gray eyes were sloppy, and his eyes were not focused at all, as if he hadn't seen Bei Bat from beginning to end.

But as soon as he walked up the two stairs, Bei Bat felt that something was wrong, if the first sentence "Don't turn around and run away" was a hint, then the second sentence "Don't let your guard down" was also a hint?

Suddenly, Bei Bat turned his head to look at the window on the side of the landing above him at this moment, and if he continued to go backwards upstairs, he would have turned his back to the window the moment he walked past the landing.

Bei Bat understood everything.

He first walked backwards up the half of the stairs, and after making sure that there was a non-reflective white wall behind him, he turned his body 90 degrees as he ascended the staircase, facing the window in the stairwell.

I took two steps forward to the front of the window and the side of the remaining half of the steps, and after a few more steps to the side, I turned and stared at the window again, and walked backwards onto the steps.

Once he reached the next floor, he still turned around, keeping himself facing the window at all times.

And this time the figure of Schiller, who appeared in the window of the upper floor, was dressed in a gorgeous suit, and he smiled at Bei Bat and said: "Smart." ”
