The night at Shenqi High School was terrifyingly quiet.
Irin was like a ghost, hiding in the night sky like a ghost.
While Oda Mai and Xu Anjing were investigating the school's records, he had already walked around the school a few times.
Including that strange lake.
"Where are those two damned criminals!"
"They ran this way!"
"Chase, chase, chase!"
"Kill them!"
"Let the criminals die in Gotham City!!!"
The streets were filled with people.
It was a crowd of people armed with guns.
In the crowd, there were even a few tall and muscular men carrying portable rocket-propelled grenade launchers on their backs … also known as RPG launchers.
This wave of attacks was terrifying.
All the police cars in the city had already been mobilized, participating in Gotham City's craziest crime eradication operation in the past 20 years.
The ear-piercing sirens echoed throughout the Burnley District.
"Whoosh —"
Su Xiaosu carried Zhu Yun 'er, who was covered in blood, and hid in an empty alley.
She lurked noiselessly in the shadows of the alley.
She didn't dare to move as she watched the crowd and police cars pass by.
Su Xiaosu's hospital gown was also stained with a lot of blood.
Some of it came from Zhu Yun 'er, and some from herself.
But in that critical moment, although she was hit by a few bullets, they didn't hit her vitals, so she didn't lose much HP.
Moreover, those bullets were stuck in Su Xiaosu's sturdy muscles. With just a little bit of force, the bullets directly bounced out of her muscles. It wasn't a big deal.
On the other hand, Zhu Yun 'er …
Su Xiaosu lowered her head to look at Zhu Yun 'er, who was still in a daze. Zhu Yun' er, who was in her arms, seemed to be breathing more steadily.
This alley was a dead end.
There was no path.
But …
Su Xiaosu silently walked to the end of the alley.
She lifted her leg.
Bang, bang, bang.
— As long as someone walked, that would be the path.
Suddenly.
Su Xiaosu lowered her head.
A trace of surprise flashed through his calm eyes.
Instinctively, she pulled up Zhu Yun'er's sleeve to take a look. She saw that the bullet wound had mysteriously stopped bleeding. A few strips of flesh that looked like worms were slowly wriggling. The bullet that had sunk into her arm muscles was slowly squeezing out.
The wound … was actually healing on its own!
…
…
Li Erpang was frantically running for his life.
He groaned inwardly.
Li Erpang's stomach was growling after he was plowed by the grenades in Robinson Park.
With great difficulty, he used the nimble Fat Lord's footwork to temporarily shake off the group of "honest and good citizens". He was finally able to catch his breath.
"Motherf * cker, if this goes on, the calf will be finished!"
Li Erpang gritted his teeth.
While no one was looking, Li Erpang stealthily opened the Sin List to take a look.
Everyone's Sin Value increased slowly.
He suddenly remembered Irin, who had inexplicably slipped away.
"Ah — Ah!"
He spat a mouthful of saliva at his feet and stomped hard.
To show his anger.
Li Erpang squinted his eyes. Of course, he could only squint his eyes. He could not open them.
Suddenly, he saw a brightly lit fast food restaurant not far away.
There was a red signboard above.
There was a kind old man printed on the signboard.
An enticing meaty aroma wafted out from the fast food restaurant. There seemed to be onions, muscles, fries, hamburgers, tomato juice …
Li Erpang carefully distinguished the rich flavors within the aroma. Unconsciously, he was drooling.
"F * ck! Let's do this! "
Li Erpang rolled up his sleeves and suddenly rushed into the fast food restaurant!
…
…
"It's about time."
Irin looked at the time on her watch.
Irin had casually snatched it from a watch shop called "Patek Jade" when she passed by.
She had also earned some Sin Value while she was at it.
She did not know whether it was expensive or not. In any case, it looked okay.
Irin lowered the brim of his gentleman's hat and smirked. Wearing a pair of shiny black leather shoes, he looked like an elegant gentleman. Just like that, he swaggered into Gotham Police.
The atmosphere at the Gotham Police Station was foul.
Smoke filled the air.
A bunch of shirtless men were drinking cheap vodka, sitting in a circle, shaking dice and playing poker. It was a joyous scene.
Irin lowered his head and thought for two seconds.
He confirmed that he was not in the wrong place.
This was the police station.
It was just that the atmosphere was a little unique.
Then, he thought about it again. This was the legendary Gotham. He felt that it should be so.
There were relatively fewer people in the police station.
This was also within Irin's expectations.
After Zhu Yun 'er, Su Xiaosu and Li Erpang started their operation, they would definitely attract most of the police force away.
Now, Gotham Police was at its emptiest.
Irin silently gave three thumbs up to his Model Worker teammates.
One for each of them.
As for Pan Zhengyi … Irin noticed that his crime value did not change at all. He was probably hiding somewhere and enjoying himself.
Irin was too lazy to care so much.
Next … it was time to perform!
ShowTime！
Shadow Following Body!
Irin immediately activated Shadow Following Body and silently walked into the police station.
Under the effect of Shadow Following Body, his presence was reduced by 100%. The police officers who were immersed in their joy did not notice Irin's presence at all.
Even if they did notice, Irin instantly flashed past. Some of them even rubbed their eyes, thinking that they had drunk too much and were hallucinating.
It was just a hallucination.
Gotham Police was much emptier than Irin imagined.
Originally, Irin had prepared five plans.
How to sneak into the police station.
He even moistened his throat and prepared for a few rounds of "Entanglement of Calamity". However, he did not expect that the zero crime rate in the past twenty years had caused Gotham Police to decay to an unimaginable degree.
Suddenly.
Irin thought of the riddle he had set up.
In front of the "black and white behemoth", would it be more appropriate to add the adjective "decayed"?
While thinking, Irin quickly passed through the police station lobby, elegantly closed the door, and walked in the direction of the duty room.
Gotham City was indeed a simple city.
Even in the police station, they were considerate enough to prepare a floor plan of the police station in case of an emergency.
Irin went all the way to the duty room without any obstructions.
There was a chubby police officer who was lying on the table and sleeping soundly. The corner of his mouth was full of saliva.
Irin's eyes flashed.
Blood Jasmine appeared with a flip of her hand and slit the throat.
Regardless of the situation, as long as the skill was active, she would not be "displaced".
Originally, with Su Xiaosu's physique, even if she did not use this skill, there were people who could send her flying … Of course, there were people, but Su Xiaosu rarely encountered them.
Most of the time, before the other party could even get close, they would be hammered by Su Xiaosu.
…
[Killed Gotham City "Excellent" Police Officer, + 20 Crime Points gained!]
[Chaos Points gained + 25!]
…
Excellent Police Officer?
Irin silently looked at the chubby police officer who did not wake up until his death.
Really excellent.
There was a wooden board hanging on the wall.
There were many keys nailed on the board.
"Archives … Interrogation Room … Canteen … Secret Room … Normal Cell … Special Female Cell …" Soon, Irin's eyes fixed on a bunch of keys.
…
…
…
"Hmm? Riddle Gentleman? "
James Gordon Jr, who was sitting in a police car and chasing after a fat "criminal", could not help but be slightly stunned when he heard the news.
Riddle Gentleman? Riddle Man?
James Gordon Jr. furrowed his brows, his face cold.
"Why did you only tell me now?"
"Hey, Sir, we thought it was … we thought it was just a prank."
"Speak."
On the other end of the phone, the two police officers stuttered and told Chief Gordon the riddle left by the "Riddle Gentleman" without missing a word.
There were a total of two riddles.
[When day and night intersect, I bravely stand before the black and white beast. The black and white beast has already swallowed more wild beasts, and the wild beasts are rotting into bones in the steel jungle. Here lies the beautiful fireworks, and I will use the most beautiful fireworks to light up Gotham, and reignite the first ray of light of the past.]
[The Elegant Gentleman is ready to go, and he hurriedly arrives before the black and white beast. The Elegant Gentleman will steal the sleeping fireworks, and welcome a lively celebration for the lonely Gotham.]
At first glance, it did seem like a prank.
But …
After Gordon listened carefully, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Archives … Interrogation room … Canteen … Secret room … Normal prison cell … Special female prison cell …"
This was the style of the riddle, love.
But James Gordon Jr's intuition told him that this was definitely not as simple as a prank.
He seemed to be able to read a playful smile between the lines through the deliberately mystifying riddle.
It was as if an elegant criminal was declaring war on the entire Gotham City through this riddle.
"When day and night intersect …"
"Black and white beast …"
"Steel jungle …"
"Fireworks …"
"In the past of Gotham …"
"Celebration?"
Suddenly!
"Stop the car! Stop the car! Stop the car! "
James Gordon Jr slapped the front seat hard, asking the experienced driver to stop the police car.
Whoosh —
A sudden brake.
James Gordon Jr's body shook slightly.
He quickly hung up the phone and made a phone call as fast as he could.
And it was a video call.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Dr. Jack …"
Dr. Jack's kind smile appeared on the screen.
James Gordon Jr did not waste any time. His gaze was cold as he went straight to the point. "Where is Edvard Nygma?"
"Oh! Respected Chief Gordon, I happen to be in Edward's ward … "
The camera turned.
In the room.
Edward and Fat Goose were happily playing games.
Then, Edward laughed.
Fat Goose was angry and flipped the table.
It was a very happy scene of an old man's life.
The camera turned again.
Dr. Jack smiled and asked, "Chief Gordon, are you looking for Edward?"
"…"
Pa.
"Go back quickly! Gotham Police! "
When the experienced driver in the front seat heard this, he was stunned. "But sir, that damn fat criminal hasn't …"
"Don't worry about that damn Fatso! The Riddle Gentleman's target is the Gotham Police! "
Although this riddle was very fancy …
James Gordon Jr. was already familiar with this trick.
After removing all the confusing words and connecting the dots, it was easy to get the answer.
When day intersected with night, it meant dusk.
There were only two black-and-white buildings in Gotham City.
The first was the Gotham Police.
The second was the refurbished Eagle's Nest Club.
However, Gordon did not notice the steel jungle at first …
But when he associated it with the police station, the jungle could be imagined as towering trees, and the steel jungle was clearly the shape of a prison's iron bars!
In other words … the riddle set by the Riddle Gentleman indicated that the crime would be committed at the Gotham Police at dusk!
Irin was even more decisive.
She originally planned to follow behind Kudo and the others and take advantage of the situation.
However, after noticing the change in the police station, Irin did not hesitate and directly activated [Shadow Kill] from afar. She turned into a shadow and slipped past the four people, entering the police station faster than them.
