The moment "Joker" appeared.
The noisy Gotham fell into a momentary silence!
There was probably no one in Gotham who did not know of "Joker's" existence.
He was the lunatic who brought fear to Gotham twenty years ago as the King of Darkness.
Moreover, he was an extremely popular lunatic.
“Joker！”
"How could it be him!"
"That lunatic?"
"Didn't he die together with Batman twenty years ago?"
"Wait!"
Discussions from all over Gotham gathered together and almost overturned the dark clouds in the sky.
James Gordon Jr. had just finished searching the clock tower and was standing at the bottom of the clock tower. Just as he was wondering where the Riddler Gentleman had gone, he happened to witness the scene of "Joker's Return".
In an instant, his expression changed drastically.
Impossible!
Joker … was already dead!
That year, Gordon The Elder saw Joker's corpse with his own eyes!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
He screamed in his heart.
However, the image of Joker in the sky and the crazy posture were exactly the same as the Joker from back then!
Although James Gordon Jr. was still young twenty years ago, he still had precious video recordings from his father, Gordon Sr., who had kept them.
The scene where Batman violently "interrogated" Joker in the Gotham Police.
In different places in Gotham City.
Burnley District.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the image in the sky.
Zhu Yun 'er hid in the dark.
She looked up at the sky.
Although the others did not recognize him, Zhu Yun 'er had heard Pan Zhengyi's laughter in Arkham Home and recognized Pan Zhengyi at a glance.
"What the hell is that guy doing?"
Su Xiaosu silently kicked a wall and broke it. She also looked at the image in the sky thoughtfully.
At this time, Zhu Yun'er turned her head and smiled at Su Xiaosu. "Thank you, Sister Susu. If you hadn't saved me, I might have died long ago."
Thinking back to the scene of cannon fire in the streets during the day, she couldn't help but feel some lingering fear.
Fortunately — —
"Hmph, but because of this, I finally understand …"
Zhu Yun'er suddenly smiled coldly and looked at herself.
Originally, she was severely injured and her body was covered with bullet holes.
But now, all of her injuries had healed. Even the bullet holes on her skin had recovered. Her skin was fair and smooth, and not a single scar was left behind.
Naturally, his HP had also recovered to full.
Su Xiaosu's combat power was indeed terrifying.
He was actually able to carry her, an injured person, out of the rain of bullets.
This body of muscles … as expected.
Zhu Yun'er silently opened the 'Sin List' and glanced at it.
She glanced at it.
Her pupils shrank slightly.
…
[Sin List]
[Gotham Sin Degree] 548451000000 (5.48%)
[Irin] 51723 (5.17%)
[Zhu Yun'er] 1120 (0.11%)
[Li Erpang] 912 (0.09%)
[Su Xiaosu] 840 (0.08%)
[Pan Zhengyi] 250 (0.02%)
…
At first, Zhu Yun'er thought that she had lost too much blood and was seeing things because she had just recovered from her injuries.
Could it be that there was an extra zero?
But when she looked carefully …
It turned out … that was not the case!
It was really more than 50,000 Sin Points!
That guy … did he violate the Heavenly Law?
How could he accumulate so many Sin Points in such a short period of time?
In terms of human lives, it was equivalent to more than 5,000 human lives.
Even if Zhu Yun'er were to kill them piece by piece like harvesting wheat, it would take her a long time to do so.
Moreover … the citizens of Gotham City were not as easy to kill as one would think.
Zhu Yun'er had personally experienced this point.
She deeply felt it.
"Wait, could it be …"
Zhu Yun'er frowned.
She thought for a few minutes.
All of a sudden, his furrowed brows relaxed.
"Crime … does not necessarily mean murder! He is actually one step ahead of us! Humph, do you think you are the only one who knows how to commit crimes? Sister Susu, let's go! We can't lose to that guy! Don't forget, in the nursing home, he helped Pan Zhengyi snatch our youth potion! "
She did not expect Zhu Yun'er to hold a grudge over such a small matter until now.
But it was originally Pan Zhengyi's fault. Zhu Yun'er conveniently put the blame on Irin.
Zhu Yun'er's eyes flashed with a cold light.
At that moment, as she walked on the road, she had the aura of an emperor on an inspection tour.
In Dragon Nation … no one could offend the Zhu family!
Not to mention a nameless person!
…
…
"Phew —"
Fatso held a big bag of fragrant fried chicken in one hand and ran on a small road in the dark night.
He turned his head and looked at Pan Zhengyi in the sky. Although he was shocked, he quickly calmed down.
"Isn't it just cosplay … who doesn't know how to do it? But that guy's acting is quite realistic … Fat Lord, I almost thought it was Joker's reality show … This guy can't be a veteran Double Spike Ape, right? "
Fatso swallowed the big bag of fried chicken in one gulp.
Li Erpang patted his bulging belly. After eating and drinking his fill, he finally felt a sense of security.
All of Gotham City fell into a temporary state of confusion because of "Joker's" return.
Li Erpang finally escaped the pursuit of "good citizens" for the time being. Under the cover of the night, he smashed the window of one of the houses and hid inside to rest for a while.
Now, 70% to 80% of Gotham City's citizens were outside.
They were wandering around with guns and cannons.
There was an old saying: the most dangerous place was the safest place.
Now that Fatso was out of the sight of the citizens and hiding in a house, he won a chance to catch his breath.
Li Erpang rested for a while.
Then, he opened the "Crime Ranking" and took a look.
Instantly, he narrowed his eyes.
Although it was not obvious on the surface, his eyes did widen a little.
A little.
Narrowing eyes was a family trait. He was helpless.
He suddenly remembered the notification he received after robbing the Old Grandpa fast food restaurant.
"In other words, other than robbing, there are other faster ways to accumulate crime points?"
Thinking of this, Li Erpang gritted his teeth and sent a string of messages to Irin.
However, he received an automatic reply: The apostle is busy, please do not disturb!
"What the f * ck!"
Li Erpang was not very cultured. He could only shout "What the f * ck" to express his feelings.
Irin this guy was not very kind!
What happened to forming a team?
What happened to flying together?!
Leaving Fat Lord behind in the park was one thing. Ignoring Fat Lord's rough skin, he did not even ask for help when there was a way to farm points?
At the very least, he should have sent a message!
We agreed to grow old together, but you secretly left!
However.
Li Erpang only complained verbally and in his heart.
After going through a few trials in the inner world and reaching this level, he was not that naive.
The fact that Irin gave him a "youth potion" in the old people's home already made Li Erpang feel that there were still good people among the apostles.
After all, apostles had complicated relationships in missions.
Even if it was a team mission, there was still a hidden rivalry.
No one wanted to lose.
It would be a blessing if they did not dig a pit for themselves.
Everyone wanted to get a higher rating.
"Hehehe … if that's the case …"
Li Erpang silently made up his mind.
…
At the same time.
In the sky of Gotham City.
"Joker" was still laughing wildly.
Laughing crazily.
"Hehehehe —"
The laughter had no meaning.
There were no lines.
However, it was this crazy laughter that seemed to cast a shadow over Gotham City.
No one knew.
At the same time.
Top Floor, Wayne Building.
Wayne Building was Gotham City's most famous landmark.
It was also the tallest building.
Actually, with today's technology, Gotham City was not unable to build a taller and more magnificent building than "Wayne Building".
It was just that they did not dare to.
Because, as everyone knew, Bruce Wayne was the richest in Gotham City.
No one dared to test the supreme power of money.
In the Top Floor, Wayne Building was a room with transparent glass on three sides.
In the room, there was a spacious round bed.
A white-haired old man with a straight back suddenly opened his eyes and sat up on the bed.
Beside the old man, there was a young woman with a hot body wrapped around the old man's body like an octopus.
The moment the old man sat up, in the darkness, the woman's face became even redder. She crawled under the blanket and wriggled silently.
The old man looked out the window.
He did not know if it was a coincidence.
That huge "Joker" shadow suddenly turned its head.
It was as if through the transparent glass of the Top Floor, the sinister Joker's eyes met with the white-haired old man on the bed.
"Wu wu wu —"
A strange sound came from under the blanket.
The woman called out the old man's name in a muffled voice.
"Bruce … Bruce …"
Bruce Wayne.
His name.
Bruce Wayne's lips curled up slightly.
He did not know what it meant.
“Duang！”
Suddenly!
From Gotham City's broadcast, the sound of a bullet was heard.
It sounded like something had been smashed.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt —
The "Joker" shadow in the sky suddenly became distorted and blurred.
"Quick! It's that pervert! "
"How dare he rob GBC Broadcasting Company?"
"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck him up!"
"He's looking for sh * t —"
Tu tu tu —
Continuous gunshots rang out.
The "Joker" shadow in the sky … covered its head and ran away like a rat.
Outside the broadcast.
The entire Gotham City once again fell into a strange silence.
Bruce Wayne: "…"
Gotham: "…"
Li Erpang: "…"
Gordon and his son: "…"
Doctor Jack: "…"
Zhu Yun'er and Su Xiaosu: "…"
Irin: "Hehe, it's indeed that guy's style."
…
…
Gotham City.
Late at night.
Tonight was like a celebration.
Everyone was destined to have a sleepless night.
"Ignore the" Joker "."
James Gordon Jr. smiled coldly.
He still had the Riddler Gentleman's advance letter.
If the first two sentences were lies, then the last few sentences might be the information that predicted the time and place of the crime.
"I split the world into two, welcoming the midnight bell and walking towards the first light of dawn in Gotham. A half-human, half-beast God has descended. I will twist off the God's head with goat horns and use it to carry Gotham's second firework, igniting the flood from winter to summer. "
Signed off —
"The passionate" Riddler Gentleman ", Eduard Rin."
"What does it mean?"
James Gordon Jr. felt a sharp pain in his head.
It wasn't just the back of his head.
He must have been thinking too much and triggered the wound at the back of his head.
James Gordon Jr. felt that the Riddler Gentleman's tone in this riddle was a little strange.
But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
It was always a little strange.
He realized that the young Riddler Gentleman was different from the Riddler Man twenty years ago.
If the Riddler Man twenty years ago was wise but crazy.
Then this Riddler Gentleman gave him the feeling that he was extremely calm and rational. It was as if he knew everything.
In comparison, the Riddler Gentleman was more difficult to deal with than the Riddler Man.
In the best-selling book "The Legend of the Riddler Man", there were several incidents where Batman defeated the Riddler Man.
Other than Batman's wisdom, the Riddler Man's several defeats were all because he was provoked by Batman.
In his anger, he revealed his flaws.
The Riddler Man's weakness was obvious … his wisdom couldn't be underestimated.
Although the Riddler Man twenty years ago was very scary, he was also a tricked opponent.
In "The Legend of Batman", there was a lot of experience in dealing with the Riddler Man.
But James Gordon Jr. realized that the experience of dealing with the Riddler Man couldn't be used on the "Riddler Gentleman".
James Gordon Jr. glanced at his wristwatch silently.
The time was …
【23:35】。
Wait!
Midnight was coming!
Chief Gordon, who was frantically searching for the Riddler Gentleman in Gotham City, had unknowingly spent so much time.
That damn Fatso and the other two strange female criminals had long been forgotten by Chief Gordon.
The fake Joker?
There was no need to care at all.
His mind was filled with that damn riddle.
And that elegant but scary Riddler Gentleman.
"There's not much time left."
James Gordon Jr. suddenly gritted his teeth and dialed a number with his phone.
Soon, the call was connected.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
But James Gordon, Jr. cried out — —
"Dad!"
…
…
【23:40】
Top Floor, Wayne Building.
It was still the same room.
The light in the bathroom was on.
Through the translucent glass, a beautiful back view could be seen. Her flesh was hidden and her flesh was exposed.
Bruce Wayne elegantly swirled the red wine glass and tasted the expensive red wine in the glass with a satisfied expression.
The night was too beautiful. No matter how dangerous it was, there were always people who stayed up late with dark eyes.
But it wasn't that expensive.
It was just 1869 Lafite.
Well … the taste was just so-so.
It was just that Bruce couldn't find a better wine.
He had no choice but to make do.
Bruce Wayne decided to drink half of it and rinse his mouth with the other half.
He couldn't waste it.
At this moment, the phone on the bedside table vibrated silently.
Bruce Wayne had never used a ringtone in his life. It was always vibrating.
There was no special reason. He was used to it.
An image of a bat flashed across the screen of the phone.
Bruce frowned slightly.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the bathroom.
The girl inside was still humming a song. It was quite pleasing to the ear.
Bruce silently walked to the side of the floor-to-ceiling bed and looked down at the chaotic Gotham City. He picked up the phone.
"Old buddy."
When Bruce picked up the phone, he couldn't help but smile.
In Gotham, there was only one person who would use this number to contact him.
"Trouble? You know, I've been retired for a long time. The current Gotham doesn't need the Masked Knight flying in the dark. "
Bruce laughed at himself and made a joke.
"Wait, puzzle? Riddler? Wait … what did you say? Riddler? Very young? "
Bruce Wayne's cloudy eyes lit up slightly.
"Interesting …"
…
…
"Damn it!"
James Gordon Jr. hung up the phone with a gloomy face.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"It's the Aparo Expressway! That damned 'Riddler' is planning to blow up the Aparo Expressway at 00: 22! "
When the surrounding Gotham police officers heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
Although their intelligence wasn't high, they participated in the puzzle with the mentality of "everyone contributes to the success of the puzzle".
"There's no time to explain! Let's go! Get in the car! "
James Gordon Jr. didn't say anything else. He got into the police car and planned to speed himself.
"But sir, it takes at least an hour to get to the Aparo Expressway from here. We only have 40 minutes left before 00: 22! If we add in the traffic — "
"From here to the Aparo Expressway, it's all closed! Immediately! Get everyone moving! "
"But sir, speeding is a crime …"
"We're using the fastest speed to eliminate criminals! This isn't speeding! "
James Gordon Jr. stepped on the accelerator pedal. The tachometer instantly reached 5,000 rpm. The police car's exhaust pipe spewed out two columns of black smoke. The police car screamed and rushed out.
Only then did the other police officers react and followed in their cars.
James Gordon Jr. accelerated to 160 km/h.
This wasn't speeding.
While he was speeding, his father's words echoed in his mind.
He was just trying his luck and asked the previous Gotham police chief … James Gordon Jr.
Gordon The Elder.
At the same time, he was also the current mayor of Gotham City.
He didn't expect his father to solve the puzzle in just a few minutes.
My father is really my father!
When he found out the answer, James Gordon Jr. suddenly realized that the answer to the puzzle was so simple.
…
The first two sentences, "Divide the world into two" and "Welcome the midnight bell", were actually referring to the time.
Divide the 24 hours of the day into two and count from midnight, which was also the time of the clock.
"Walk toward Gotham's first light" was also a supplementary hint to the first two sentences.
The last sentence, "A half-human, half-beast god descends", was actually referring to "Capricorn", one of the twelve constellations.
This was because in the legends, "Capricorn" was a half-human, half-beast god with goat horns.
The corresponding date for Capricorn was from December 22nd to January 19th.
The corresponding time was … After midnight, 00: 22 to 01: 19!
The meaning of "I will break the god's head with goat horns" was very clear.
The time indicated by the Riddler Gentleman was 00: 22!
The second firework implied that the Riddler Gentleman was going to commit the crime … an explosion.
He would end up like the Gotham Police.
The last sentence was what made James Gordon Jr. feel strange.
To describe "winter," the Riddler Gentleman used the word "heavy", and at the end, he used the word "hot".
"Heavy" was usually used to describe snow, but the Riddler Gentleman used it to describe winter. It was no wonder that James Gordon Jr. felt that the grammar was a bit strange.
He felt that the Riddler Gentleman's English was not very good.
It turned out that …
It was not that the Riddler Gentleman's English was not good, but it was something else!
The other meaning of "heavy" was to imply traffic jams.
The word "hot", other than meaning "hot", was often used to describe a girl's "hot" body.
As for "summer" and "hot", the first thing that came to mind was one place!
That was … Miller Harbor Beach!
When the entire sentence was put together, it really only meant one place, the most congested traffic at Miller Harbor Beach!
In other words …
The Aparo Expressway!
Why would he make such a connection?
Because in the "Gotham City Travel Guide", it was written very clearly —
"Yo! Summer is here! Welcome to the simple Gotham City! At Miller Harbor Beach, there are blue skies, white clouds, and hot bikini girls. Actions are better than thoughts, actions are better than birds. What are you waiting for! Yo, check it out! "
That damned Riddler Gentleman must be very familiar with Gotham City's tourism industry, you bastard!
It is not summer now!
Could it be that the damned guy had already come to Gotham City in the summer to check out the area?
While he was there, he admired the hot bikini girls?
"But …"
James Gordon Jr.'s lips curled into a confident sneer.
The Riddler Gentleman had underestimated his driving skills.
40 minutes was enough for him to reach Miller Harbor!
He had already seen through the truth!
There was only one truth to the puzzle —
The Riddler Gentleman would detonate the Aparo Expressway at 00: 22 in Miller Harbor.
That was a viaduct!
Go, go, go!
James Gordon Jr. drove like crazy.
Behind his police car, there was a large group of cars that were also driving like crazy.
It was a grand scene!
