GBC Gotham Broadcasting Station.
Not long after Irin sent out the "USB drive."
A figure slowly walked out from the darkness.
The figure was wearing a tight purple suit.
His face was painted with a strange game.
Those sinister cracked lips slowly curled into a devilish smile.
"Hehehe …"
Gotham BBS Forum.
Now, it was exploding.
There were even many people who took advantage of the peak traffic to advertise in Gotham BBS.
But as long as it was a post that had nothing to do with "Gotham Criminals," it would sink like a stone into the sea and become a dead post.
— — It was pushed down by countless posts related to "Enigma Gentleman."
Irin did not expect that he, who was unknown in the real world, would become the top traffic in Gotham City.
"Next … I need to complete the final preparations."
Irin did not stay for long. Like a hardworking bee, he quietly became the rising star of the criminal world in Gotham City.
In another corner of Gotham City.
At this time, night fell.
It was more convenient to hide.
Li Erpang saw that Zhu Yun 'er and Su Xiaosu's points on the crime list had increased by a small amount. He could not help but snatch a phone and gently ask for the phone's password. Then, he logged into Gotham BBS to check the related news.
That idiot Pan Zhengyi was definitely at the bottom. He could not escape.
Irin's points were far ahead. He probably could not catch up.
Li Erpang's current goal in "Main Mission 2" was to strive for second place.
The content of Main Mission 3 was unknown. Therefore, Fatso felt that no matter what, he could not fall too far behind in Main Mission 2.
At the very least, he had to be a little higher than Zhu Yun 'er and Su Xiaosu. Only then would he be able to get a higher evaluation in the final evaluation.
What was the saying again?
— — It was all thanks to your peers.
"What the heck? You can play like this? "
Li Erpang browsed the post for a few minutes, and his eyes widened instantly.
She was indeed a woman. She actually thought of using the forum to post a notice to increase her "criminal reputation".
"If that's the case … hehehe."
Li Erpang smiled wretchedly. If the two women could use this trick, he could naturally use it as well.
Thus, Li Erpang put away his phone.
Thump! Thump! Thump! He blended into the night.
He was preparing to commit a "world-shaking crime."
…
…
"Sister Susu, listen!"
Zhu Yun 'er, who was planning where to blow up next, was stunned when she heard the headlines of the city-wide broadcast.
"Video crime warning letter?"
What the hell was this?
Zhu Yun 'er recalled Irin's expression, and her intuition told her that there was something strange going on.
But for a while, she could not figure out why this guy would use such a high-profile way to release the riddle.
In other words … he would directly appear in front of the Gotham citizens?
It was broadcasted throughout Gotham.
The beautiful emcee wore the sexiest and most charming outfit.
Low cut, deep V-neck, short skirt, black stockings, high heels.
— — Perfect.
Those who were not in front of the television, including the apostles, could only hear the sound, but could not see the content of the video.
But it was a riddle, and the sound was enough.
Li Erpang, who was in the dark, stopped in his tracks.
He listened carefully to Irin's next plan.
Thinking of that pretentious criminal, Li Erpang could not help but gnash his teeth in anger.
If it was not for that guy, he would not have to wear such a stupid tight suit.
He had to take it easy even when he was running, as he was afraid of being crushed.
On the eve of the broadcast of the "Riddle Gentleman" video, the entire Gotham City fell into an eerie silence.
It was as if —
Everyone was waiting.
Everyone was waiting to listen to the voice of a gentleman!
It was a voice that passed by all of Gotham.
At this moment, the entire Gotham City fell into complete silence because of a "criminal"!
The friends sitting in front of the television were already eagerly waiting for the "Riddle Gentleman" video.
At the same time, this was also the next riddle.
Buzz buzz buzz — —
The charming emcee threw a few flirtatious glances at the camera, and finally, the video began to play.
In the video.
A gentleman in a black tuxedo stood proudly with a folded umbrella in his hand.
The "Riddle Gentleman" was seen holding one of his hands in front of his chest, and the other hand was pressing down the brim of his hat.
In the video, the "Riddle Gentleman's" face could not be seen clearly, as it was covered by the gentleman's hat. Everyone could only see a confident and mysterious smile under the black brim of the hat.
"Heh."
"Confused Gotham."
"Hello."
"I am Eduard Rin, the Riddle Gentleman."
"Next up is my next riddle, and also tonight's final riddle. I hope to bring the most dazzling fireworks show to all of you in front of the television."
In the video, the "Riddle Gentleman" Eduard Rin's lips curled up slightly.
Then, with a tone that was neither too fast nor too slow, he slowly said —
"When the scarlet and crimson moon reunite,"
"When the stars fall like rain,"
"When the night sky withers in the blink of an eye,"
"When memories are no longer eternal,"
"When death is no longer far away,"
"When the day no longer comes,"
"The sky can no longer be touched,"
"When your eyes are no longer favored by the light,"
"When I am forever separated from you in a distant space and time,"
"When the distance of missing is as far away as the shore of the dead,"
"Then,"
"I will cross the river of void,"
"Break the barrier between reality and illusion,"
"I am everywhere,"
"I am everywhere,"
"Tonight, Gotham will go crazy because of my fireworks."
"The gentleman will descend in the center of the fireworks, and take the crown of the former Dark King."
"Who … am I?"
Everyone was stunned.
They did not understand at all.
But when they heard it, it seemed to be very profound.
In the short video, after the "Riddle Gentleman" finished the mysterious riddle, he pursed his lips, and a trace of imperceptible loneliness appeared, but it was quickly replaced by a confident smile.
The "Riddle Gentleman" elegantly held the brim of his hat, and through the screen, he performed a gentleman's etiquette to everyone who was watching the live broadcast.
The etiquette froze for about a second.
"Good night."
The video from the "Riddle Gentleman" came to an abrupt end.
"…"
Li Erpang: "Pretentious!"
Zhu Yun'er: "Pretentious! 1”
Su Xiaosu: "Pretentious. 2”
Pan Zhengyi: "Pretentious young man + 3, hehehehe —"
When the video, or the city-wide broadcast, ended, the other apostles who came from the same world as Irin gave the same comments.
But their tone and expressions were slightly different.
"Not good!"
Li Erpang's expression turned serious. "Although we can't solve that kid's riddle, according to that kid's style, he would usually make an announcement beforehand. He is used to being pretentious, and I think he won't be able to change it in a short time. Looks like we have to hurry!"
In another part of Gotham City.
"Humph! Deliberately mystifying? "Zhu Yun'er sneered." Don't tell me he is a poet in real life? "
Su Xiaosu's expression was indifferent, and she reminded them, "We should take action."
Zhu Yun'er looked back at Su Xiaosu, and the hatred in her eyes disappeared. She smiled and said, "Heh, but it doesn't matter. This is only the second main mission, and the third mission is the real beginning. So what if we give him this round? But we can't fall too far behind. At the very least, we have to squeeze that damned Fatso and Pan Zhengyi out. "
All the apostles started to move in their own ways.
…
…
Pa.
James Gordon Jr. slammed his police cap on the ground.
He was furious.
He suddenly remembered the news of the cerebral hemorrhage.
A mouthful of blood and sweetness came out of his mouth, but James Gordon Jr. swallowed it back down.
Gulp gulp —
James Gordon Jr. downed the drink in his hand in one gulp to calm himself down.
After the shock, he suddenly sneered.
"You dare to release the video in front of everyone? Humph! You underestimate Gotham City! Send out a warrant for arrest. As long as the suspect looks like the 'Riddler Gentleman' in the video, all of them … are to be killed on the spot! "
"Yes!"
Chief Gordon's subordinates started to move out.
In the past twenty years, they had never acted so decisively.
In the past two days, they seemed to have become policemen again.
They were no longer gamblers, drunkards, or prostitutes … cough cough.
"Also, activate the helicopter and search the entire city. As long as' King Kong ',' Empress', or 'Black Swan People' are found, shoot them on the spot! After the shooting, you can get financial subsidies from Mayor Gordon! "
"Hehe, Sir, even if you didn't say it, the citizens would choose to shoot the vicious criminals on the spot if they found them."
Another policeman suddenly laughed eerily.
"What did you say?"
"Uh … nothing, I'll give the order now."
After giving out all the orders, James Gordon Jr. lowered his head and pondered. He was thinking about the mystery that was so long that it seemed impossible to solve.
Obviously, this puzzle was very confusing.
The difficulty was probably off the charts.
It could be said that it was the weirdest mystery since the appearance of the 'Riddler Gentleman'.
No matter which sentence it was, on the surface, it didn't seem to match any location in Gotham City.
Other than the last sentence, "fireworks," which should be referring to an explosion, James Gordon Jr. couldn't guess the time and location at all.
Was the intelligence of the Riddler Gentleman really that terrifying?
How did he manage to make the whole of Ge Tan run in circles with his own power?
"Damn it —"
James Gordon Jr. suddenly felt extremely regretful.
That night at the clock tower, he should have shot the Riddler Gentleman without hesitation, instead of asking him to raise his hands.
It was because of that moment of hesitation that night that Gotham became what it was today.
Gotham, bit by bit, seemed to be returning to the chaos and disorder it was twenty years ago.
It was a kind of chaos that made people feel powerless.
But twenty years ago, Gotham City had Batman.
Today, twenty years later, there was no Dark Knight who hid in the dark to punish criminals.
"No —"
James Gordon Jr. was letting his imagination run wild when he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have thought about it.
He shook his head violently and threw away the unrealistic thought.
Even the disappeared Batman couldn't represent the justice of Gotham.
His methods weren't righteous at all.
The only one who could represent justice in Gotham … was Gordon!
Whether it was his father back then, or him now … Chief Gordon!
…
…
【22:30】
Gotham City.
The sky was filled with helicopters.
Countless light beams shot down from the helicopters, searching for the criminal's figure on the ground.
Of course, the main focus was on the Riddler Gentleman.
As long as it was someone wearing a black suit, regardless of gender or age, a group of people would pounce on them and shoot them to death.
After all, he was an extremely vicious criminal!
How could they not be killed?
How could they not be killed?
How could they not be killed?
Well, they were beaten to death!
At the top of Wayne Building.
Bruce Wayne was completely silent.
He had to admit that this young man who called himself the Riddler Gentleman was far beyond his imagination.
The riddle this time was so long and so hard to guess.
He looked at it for a long time, but other than the last clue, he couldn't guess the rest.
Even the time of the crime left Bruce Wayne clueless.
Bruce took a sip of wine and looked at the three delicious bodies on the bed.
This time, he didn't react at all.
His mind was filled with the strange riddle.
"Could it be that I'm really old?"
Bruce Wayne shook his head helplessly, recalling the battle of wits with the Riddler and the Penguin Man in the past.
But this time …
Suddenly.
There was a continuous vibration on the table.
It was Gordon The Elder.
Bruce smiled bitterly.
"What? Even you can't guess it? "
When Gordon Sr. heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Hehe, this is Gotham's rising star!" Bruce even joked.
"…"
"Old friend, run."
Bruce swirled his wine glass. "Although I can't guess his riddle, I can see that the Riddler Gentleman's final explosion was definitely on a large scale. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said 'fireworks all over the sky'. If every sentence represents an explosion location, there are too many targets to dismantle the bomb … unless you can catch him."
Gordon The Elder held the phone tightly, speechless. "Old friend, you know that I was born in Gotham."
"Understood."
Bruce hung up the phone.
He understood what Gordon The Elder meant.
He was born in Gotham, and he would also choose to die in Gotham.
Bruce looked at the sky. For twenty years, there was still a thick layer of dark clouds floating above Gotham.
Only this layer of clouds felt very familiar to him.
It was as if a bright and eye-catching … bat lamp was about to appear in the clouds.
Suddenly.
Bruce's pupils shrank.
He remembered a sentence in the riddle.
He couldn't help but whisper.
A few more seconds.
Bruce suddenly laughed.
…
…
【22:50】
The whole of Gotham was shrouded in dark clouds.
This wasn't just referring to the dark clouds above Gotham.
It was also referring to the dark clouds in everyone's heart.
The earth-shattering explosion predicted by "Riddle Gentleman" Eduard Rin still hadn't happened.
A few hours had passed. GBC Radio had even invited more than ten authoritative experts to try and solve the riddle. However, many of their guesses had been refuted one by one.
There wasn't a single location or answer that could perfectly explain the riddle announced by "Riddle Gentleman" Eduard Rin!
This could be called … the most difficult riddle in the history of Gotham City!
This riddle … was too difficult!
In the sky.
Helicopter after helicopter hovered above Gotham.
This was the military force directly under Mayor James Gordon.
Whether it was in terms of quality or professionalism, they were far superior to the useless Gotham Police who had been idle for years.
“B78！ B78！ Your light is crooked! Please pay attention and focus on searching the ground! "
"B78 —"
“B78？”
"Ahem, B78 received!"
"A93, did you find anything in the Upper East Side?"
"C93 found suspicious figures of 'Black Goose People' in Burnley District. Requesting nearby police to immediately send people to search."
"B63 found suspicious figures of 'King Kong' and 'Empress' at the Fingal River … F * ck! It's them! Go quickly! GOGOGO！ Rush！”
Under the professional aerial search and attack, all the apostles gradually had nowhere to hide.
"F * ck, it's about time!"
The commotion was getting bigger and bigger. There weren't many TNT bombs left in his hands. Li Erpang was inspired by Zhu Yun 'er's idea. He spent almost half the night burying the TNT bombs in several locations and set the time.
He was even afraid that he would forget the timing, so he used a small notebook to record the time of explosion in each location.
When the time came, as long as he posted the "warning" on Gotham's BBS in advance before the time of explosion, not only would he gain a sense of presence, but he would also gain a large amount of sin points!
When the time came, the points on the leaderboard would roll in!
The name "Black Goose People" would also resound throughout Gotham!
"Wahaha …"
Thinking about the wonderful scene that was about to happen, Li Erpang couldn't help but laugh.
If I had a choice, I would want to be a good person!
But I have no choice!
Li Erpang laughed proudly and couldn't help but rub his hands together excitedly.
Near the Fingal River.
The lights of the helicopter were like maggots attached to bones, biting onto the two figures in the air and refusing to let go.
"Sister Susu, your figure is more conspicuous. You go and lure the helicopter away, I'll hide. There's not much time left. I have to post the warning on Gotham's BBS as soon as possible. If not, when the time comes and the bomb explodes, all the sin points might go to Irin."
Zhu Yun 'er said as she ran quickly.
Su Xiaosu was silent for a moment. She didn't say much and only said softly, "Okay."
Suddenly.
Su Xiaosu's muscles seemed to bulge under the light of the helicopter. Her veins were bulging and it was terrifying.
Pop!
She uprooted a tree with her bare hands and threw it directly at the helicopter in the air!
"F * ck … KKK!! What kind of monster is this! He, he, he's not human! "
In the helicopter team's public channel, a panicked voice instantly exploded.
The distance was so far, it was impossible to hit the target.
However, Su Xiaosu wasn't strong enough to throw a tree with her bare hands and accurately hit the helicopter in the air. However, her action scared the helicopter so much that it swayed left and right.
When the helicopter pilot came back to his senses, the "Empress" Zhu Yun 'er was no longer on the ground.
"You're asking for death!"
Ka ka ka.
On both sides of the combat helicopter, the covers opened and two rounds of machine guns appeared. They were about to spit out terrifying flames.
…
Suddenly!
An arrogant and unruly figure appeared in the sky without warning.
"LadiesAndGentlemen — — Kekeke — —"
Originally, this GBC's projection system was used to broadcast all kinds of expensive advertisements. However, a strange figure appeared in the live broadcast.
His head was touching the sky and his feet were on the ground. He wore a purple suit and his face was painted with ferocious mottled paint!
It's him!
It's him!
It's him!
It's … Joker!
The fake Joker!
Last night, this "fake Joker" had already robbed the GBC once. Who would have thought that he would repeat the same mistake tonight?
As everyone knew, the real Joker was already dead.
"Ha — —" The "Joker" in the sky looked down at Gotham with a deranged expression.
No one could have guessed why the GBC would be robbed by the "fake Joker" again and again.
"Hehehe …" The Joker's body suddenly trembled as if he was having a seizure. His hoarse voice was transmitted through the broadcast system and spread throughout Gotham.
“Whysoserious？”
"Is it because of … love? Stupid Odou — — "
Gotham: "???"
"Hehehe … Do you think I'm crazy?" The "Joker" figure suddenly put on a serious expression.
Gotham: Nonsense!
"Hey, look, there are actually two sides to madness." The fake Joker stretched out his fair palms and held up both sides. Then, his scarlet lips suddenly cracked open towards his ears.
It was a ferocious smile of the Joker.
"But in fact, hehehe, look, this side is madness, and the other side of madness is … art!"
The fake Joker suddenly pointed at a building in the sky.
There — —
Louis E. Greif Memorial High School!
Boom!
In an instant, the place where the Joker was pointing at exploded violently. Flames … shot up into the sky! It illuminated the entire city!
The entire city … was instantly boiling!
This … was the real Joker!
The former King of Darkness … Joker!!
And in a corner that no one had noticed.
Li Erpang was dumbfounded.
A second later.
Li Erpang's face was sullen as he cried hysterically — —
"F * ck you, Pan Zhengyi! That's the explosion that I've worked so hard to bury ahhhhhh — — "
