When James Gordon Jr. rushed to Gotham University, it took him quite some time.
After all, Gotham University was located in the west of Gotham City. It was quite far.
Looking at the statue of his father that he was so proud of being blown to pieces, James Gordon Jr. bit his lower lip so hard that blood slowly seeped out.
Click, click.
There were also quite a number of students taking pictures.
They also posted the pictures on the forum.
James Gordon Jr.'s fingers twitched slightly, but he did not stop them in the end.
Because … it was no longer important.
"The King of Gotham? Is he referring to the 'Statue of Gordon the Great'? Then wouldn't the later part of the puzzle be completely meaningless? Moreover, he only blew up the 'Statue of Gordon the Great'. There were no casualties at all. What is that damned Riddler Gentleman trying to do? "
"Here, sir, have a drink?"
Another police officer saw that James Gordon Jr.'s expression was ashen, so he went to the canteen next door to buy a bottle of the latest drink. It was cold and refreshing.
James Gordon Jr. did not refuse and gulped it down. As the cold liquid flowed down his throat, James Gordon Jr. instantly felt much better.
At this moment.
James Gordon Jr.'s phone rang crazily.
It was his father.
"Son, that riddle …"
Without waiting for Gordon The Elder to speak, James Gordon Jr. interrupted Gordon The Elder. "Dad, I'm sorry! You were blown up! Ah no, I mean your statue was blown up! "
Gordon The Elder did not notice the faulty wording in James Gordon Jr.'s words. His tone was a little hurried and anxious. He quickly said, "No! Son, listen to me, in the Riddler Gentleman's riddle … he committed more than one crime! He wanted to blow up … three places! Where are you now? "
James Gordon Jr. was stunned when he heard this.
Three, three, three places?
That's too, too, too crazy, right?
After listening to Gordon The Elder's words.
That's the answer to the riddle.
James Gordon Jr. hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
He lowered his head and silently looked at the time … It was already too late.
"Sir? What are you laughing at? "
The accompanying police officer suddenly looked at James Gordon Jr. strangely.
"Smile?" James Gordon Jr. rubbed his cheeks hard. "You must be mistaken."
At this time, it was too late to cry, how could he still laugh?
The so-called riddle, as long as the answer was revealed, would become worthless.
There was no sense of mystery at all.
At least, that was how James Gordon Jr. saw it.
In Riddler Gentleman's latest puzzle, everyone in Gotham City, including James Gordon Jr., fell into a misconception.
Everyone, including James Gordon Jr., thought that the "one time" crime notice meant that the crime would only be committed "one time".
But in fact, the Riddler Gentleman had used a short riddle to point to two times and three places.
In the riddle —
"I will accompany the next ray of sunlight" undoubtedly referred to the setting sun. When the sun set, it would be 18: 00. Gotham City's sunset had always been punctual.
But at the same time, it also referred to the west. And in the west of Gotham City, the true meaning of the "sea of knowledge" was "Gotham University"!
"The King of Gotham" referred to Gotham City's Mayor James Gordon. Put together with the previous riddle, there was no doubt that the answer was the "Great Gordon Statue" that had just been blown up.
The follow-up to the riddle, "Immediately after, hush, listen", actually hid the meaning of Riddler Gentleman's repeated crimes. The action of "listen" referred to paying attention to the sound.
"A short sword, a long and narrow gun, the moment the horn sounded" reminded people of the length and length of the hour hand of the clock tower!
Every hour, the clock tower would ring the bell.
The horn immediately after 18: 00, which was also the sound of the clock, meant that the time was 19: 00.
The stars fell, and thousands of beasts attacked.
They pointed to two locations —
"S.T.A.R Laboratory"!
"Gotham Zoo"!
"Witness the fireworks of Gotham together" … This sentence naturally meant that the two locations had exploded at the same time.
And the biggest hint was actually at the bottom of the riddle.
"1, 2, 3" was actually the most crucial hint to solve the riddle. And "Busy Riddler Gentleman" was actually hinting that in this crime, Riddler Gentleman would be very busy!
After all, he had to blow up three locations.
Suddenly —
James Gordon Jr.'s pupils contracted slightly.
He thought of a deeper meaning.
The reason why Riddler Gentleman chose the "Great Gordon Statue" for the first explosion was to divert the police's attention. Even if the riddle was solved after the first explosion, it would still be too late to prevent the second explosion an hour later!
This scary and meticulous Riddler Gentleman!
This damned charming Riddler Gentleman!
"Right —"
Only then did he remember that even if it was too late, he still had to do something.
But when James Gordon Jr. lowered his head and looked at his watch.
The time had stopped.
【19:00】。
…
…
Gotham City.
S.T.A.R Laboratory.
Gotham Zoo.
Boom!
Boom!
Almost at the same time, the place exploded.
Like a celebratory firework, the blazing flames lit up the gloomy sky of Gotham City and stung everyone's eyes.
This —
It was Riddler Gentleman!
GBC Radio Station.
The authoritative expert who was talking about the riddle set by Riddler Gentleman, including everyone, suddenly felt a strong tremor.
Everyone ignored the fact that the program was being broadcasted live and quickly looked out the window.
Gotham City was divided into two places …
At this moment, it had turned into a sea of fire!
It was destined to be a busy night.
Whether it was Riddler Gentleman or Gotham City.
In the dark night.
A gentleman in a tuxedo quietly left the crowd.
Behind him was a raging fire.
A real man would never look at the explosion behind him.
The streets were in chaos, but at the same time, there was a strange madness in the air.
Countless citizens carried all kinds of guns and searched frantically for the culprit around Celestial Laboratory and Gotham Zoo.
Irin seemed to be isolated from the world as he quietly passed through the crazy crowd. When the citizens of Gotham realized that someone was passing by, they turned around to look, but the elegant figure had already disappeared.
"Three 'crimes', three balls."
Irin took out the scepter with a question mark and chuckled.
Then, he quickly kept it in his inventory and replaced it with a normal black umbrella.
In terms of coolness, the umbrella seemed to be more cool.
After all, the scepter with the question mark was quite old and seemed a little worn out.
In addition to the successful explosion of the "Gordon the Great Statue" not long ago, Irin had gained quite a lot of sin points.
[In the name of "Riddler Gentleman", destroyed Gotham's famous landmark "Gordon the Great Statue", gained + 60000 sin points!]
[In the name of "Riddler Gentleman", destroyed S.T.A.R Laboratory's Gotham branch, gained + 30000 sin points!]
[In the name of "Riddler Gentleman", destroyed Gotham's famous landmark "Gotham Zoo", gained + 40000 sin points!]
His points came extremely quickly.
No wonder Li Erpang was envious.
"Eh?"
Irin's expression suddenly froze.
Then, he closed his eyes and thought for a full two minutes.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"It's time for a big one …"
Irin chuckled and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
…
…
The whole of Gotham City fell into a frenzy because of the endless and charming crimes of the "Riddler Gentleman".
The strange thing was, although the Riddler Gentleman had committed many crimes, no one said that they had seen the real face of the Riddler Gentleman.
There were all kinds of guesses on the Gotham BBS.
There were even hand-drawn drawings of the "Riddler Gentleman" in various styles.
If Irin had the chance to log onto the Gotham BBS and take a look, he would not know whether to laugh or cry.
But Irin … was a little busy.
He did not have the time to think about it.
【20:00】
Gotham City.
WXYZ Radio Station, Channel 2 Headquarters.
A round figure was sneakily hiding in the woods, looking at the figures coming in and out of the radio station.
"There are a lot of people here.
"How in the world did Yi Lin that brat install the bomb in front of everyone's eyes?"
That's too difficult, isn't it? "
A muffled sound, like someone was chewing on food, could be heard from behind the woods.
Ten minutes later.
Li Erpang finished a whole fried chicken, threw the chicken bones all over the ground, and collected a wave of Mosquito Legs at the same time. After that, he was ready to take action.
He had a detailed plan of action.
But when he arrived at the location, he found it difficult.
He moved his arms and legs slightly.
His clothes were a little tight.
It could not be helped. This was the best fitting clothes that the shop could make … but for Li Erpang's body, it was still a little small.
"Cough cough …"
Li Erpang gathered his emotions.
Silently, he put on a pitch-black eye mask and dug out two holes where his eyes should be.
He was wearing a tight black suit with a small round hat on his head.
For this look, Li Erpang was quite satisfied in his heart.
After all, in the various legends of Gotham, the one who was slightly more suitable for his image was the short and fat penguin man – Oswald Chesterfield Copperfield.
The name was a little long, but that was not important!
Suddenly.
Fatty Li rushed out of the woods and smashed the glass door of the WXYZ Radio Station's Channel 2 headquarters with a slap. Then, he rushed in.
"What the f * ck?"
"Someone broke into the radio station!"
At this time, although it was already time to get off work, there were still many people in the radio station.
"Kill!"
After Li Erpang rushed in wearing a suit, many of the guards did not hesitate to take out their weapons. They fired bullets at Li Erpang's back.
"What the f * ck —"
Li Erpang felt a cold murderous intent behind him. He did not dare to stay any longer. He became an agile Fatso, jumping up and down in the rain of bullets and dodging.
In the corridor of the office building, Li Erpang went around in circles, setting up TNT bombs in every corner of the first floor.
Of course, he could not calculate the best time to explode, so he could only use remote control to control the timing of the explosion.
Things like timed explosions … were not suitable for him.
If something went wrong, he might even lose his two hundred pounds of fat.
Tut tut tut —
Soon, the other citizens of Gotham City received the news that WXYZ Radio Station was invaded by a "criminal". The good citizens of Gotham City gradually gathered around WXYZ Radio Station.
They all had guns in their hands.
A few minutes later, Li Erpang's body had many bullet holes, but his life points did not decrease by much. He protected his vital parts, dodged left and right, and rolled out of the radio station.
"That d * mn criminal is there!"
"Chase, chase, chase!"
"Go, go, go!"
"Don't let that d * mn Fatso escape!"
"…"
Who's the d * mn Fatso? Your whole family is the d * mn Fatso!
Li Erpang ran for a while, then suddenly stood up straight and turned around.
"Wait! I have something to say! "
This sudden change in style stunned the surrounding citizens, who were carrying guns and cannons. They froze not far away from Li Erpang.
They surrounded Li Erpang.
Li Erpang raised his head. His deep eyes … because they were squinting, no one could tell.
He squeezed out a lump of fat from the corner of his mouth, which looked a little like a mysterious smile.
He opened his arms, puffed up his lungs, and in front of everyone, roared into the sky!
"I, Er Pang Coppolt, Black Swan, have come to Gotham tonight!"
“？”
“？？”
“？？？”
Gotham: "…"
No one noticed that Li Erpang was holding a small and exquisite … detonator!
Boom!!
A terrifying earthquake, accompanied by a shocking heatwave, spread out in all directions from the first floor of WXYZ radio station.
Rumble!
Because Li Erpang had installed all the bombs on the first floor, and he had purposely chosen to install them on the load-bearing pillars, the explosion caused the floor above to sink at a terrifying speed. In a short while, more than half of WXYZ radio station had collapsed, drowning in a sea of fire and dust.
[In the name of "Black Swan", you have destroyed Gotham's famous radio station, "WXYZ Radio Station Channel 2 Headquarters". Obtained Sin Points + 50000!]
After receiving the mission notification, Li Erpang was instantly overjoyed. He suddenly felt that the deal with Irin was worth it.
As expected —
Explosion! This is a man's romance!
I, Black Swan, will blow Gotham to smithereens!
Exploding out the bright universe!
Blow, blow, blow!
Suddenly.
The good citizens of Gotham reacted and stared at Li Erpang with the same strange smile.
The strange smile on the citizens' faces was like a mask, exuding an evil aura.
In an instant, Li Erpang's scalp went numb, all the way to his butthole.
"You —"
Li Erpang did not even have time to say the name of "Black Swan".
All the Gotham citizens took out grenades from their crotches in unison.
"What the f * ck —"
In an instant, there was another explosion, completely engulfing Li Erpang's figure.
Boom, boom, boom, boom —
…
…
【20:30】
Gotham City.
Wedgwood Museum.
It was already closing time, so there were few people around.
Zhu Yun 'er opened the "Sin Points Ranking" and took a look.
She muttered to herself, deep in thought.
"That guy hasn't made his next move. Is it because he doesn't have enough grenades … or does he need other preparations? Hmm, that d * mn Fatso has also started to make his move. With this score, he must have blown up a place.
"While they haven't made their next move, now is the best time for us to make our move!"
"Otherwise, even if it blows up, the crime will most likely be blamed on Irin."
Zhu Yun 'er had the same thought as Li Erpang.
After all, in Gotham City, Irin was in the limelight.
If other people just silently blew up the place, such a major crime would most likely be blamed on the "Enigmatic Gentleman".
"Hmph … that sly guy, did he really think that I didn't see through his trick?"
Zhu Yun 'er smiled coldly, her lips curled into a disdainful smile.
But Zhu Yun 'er had to admit that Irin's understanding of the main mission was far beyond the other apostles.
That was why the current situation was created.
Irin was far ahead.
The others were thinking of ways to catch up to Irin.
"No matter what, we have to think of a way …"
Zhu Yun 'er's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Su Xiaosu silently handed over a phone.
This was something that Su Xiaosu had snatched from the hands of the other citizens. She had used reason to get the password out of them.
"Okay!"
Zhu Yun 'er took a photo of the TNT after it was removed from the card. Then, she took a photo of herself and Su Xiaosu.
Then, she quickly uploaded it to Gotham City's BBS.
After a series of crimes caused by various "criminals" tonight, the traffic on Gotham City's BBS had reached an unprecedented level.
Almost as soon as the post was refreshed, it gained tens of thousands of views within a minute.
Suddenly.
An anonymous post attracted the attention of all Gotham City's citizens.
"We, the 'Empress' and 'King Kong', will blow up the Wedgwood Museum in ten minutes. Please look forward to it!"
This … was a blatant warning of a crime!
Where did the 'Empress' and 'King Kong' come from?
Although they were a far cry from the elegant and charming Enigmatic Gentleman, criminals were still criminals. They had to … die!!
So —
Police.
Citizens!
All of the nearby armed forces gathered at the Wedgwood Museum at the fastest speed, like a torrent.
Zhu Yun 'er was slightly shocked.
About ten seconds after she uploaded the post, she felt the ground tremble slightly.
It was as if … there were countless people walking on the ground in an orderly manner.
The trembling of the ground was actually transmitted to here!
The terrifying Gotham City!
Zhu Yun 'er gradually felt the madness that belonged to this city. Behind the seemingly simple customs of the citizens, there seemed to be an invisible hand that was driving the emotions of the entire Gotham City.
Luckily, she did not dare to be like Irin and send out a warning of a crime a few hours in advance.
She also couldn't figure out Yi Lin's strange riddles.
Therefore, she only gave herself ten minutes!
Any longer and the two of them would be drowned by the surging tide of Gotham City's citizens!
From afar, Zhu Yun 'er could already hear the ear-piercing sound of police sirens.
The flashing red and blue lights formed a long line that moved quickly in the night.
Ten minutes were up!
Zhu Yun 'er and Su Xiaosu looked at each other and did not say anything. They held the detonator tightly and prepared to escape by the route that they had planned beforehand.
James Gordon Jr. was the first to arrive at the Wedgwood Museum.
Boom!!
A dazzling flame shot up to the sky!
The dark and simple Gotham City … was blown up again!
Bang!
James Gordon Jr. slammed his palm on the steering wheel.
There was a beeping sound!
…
…
It had been almost two hours since the previous operation.
Irin spent a lot of time preparing for the next operation.
He opened the "Crime Ranking" and took a look.
Soon, he closed the Crime Ranking with a smile.
"Looks like they are starting to find the trick to earning points."
"Happy earning points?"
Irin raised his head and arrived at the GBC Television Station once again.
If not for the need, Irin would have blown up this "Gotham Landmark" that seemed to be worth a lot of points.
"Hehe, will it really go that smoothly?"
After Irin handed the "express delivery" to the guard, Irin lowered his cap and walked away gracefully.
Even now, no one could connect this elegant noble gentleman with the "Riddler Gentleman".
It was just … temporary.
Irin raised his head and looked at the tallest building in Gotham — Wayne Building.
He smiled slightly.
From the constantly updated news, Irin learned that his previous "riddle" had been solved not long before the explosion.
"This time …"
Suddenly.
Gotham City.
The GBC Television Station once again broadcast to the entire city!
"Headlines! Headlines! Attention all citizens! Attention all citizens! "
"Breaking news! The "Riddler Gentleman" has sent us a "Crime Alert" again! "
"Wait, what is this … a USB drive? There is a video in it — "
