Chapter 117 Happy time to score points? (Seeking a monthly ticket)
【18:45】
When James Gordon Jr. rushed to Gotham University in a hurry, it took a lot of time.
After all, Gotham University is located west of Gotham City, which is a bit far away.
Seeing the great statue of his father, whom he was so proud of, being blown to pieces, little James Gordon bit his lower lip, and a trace of blood slowly dripped from there.
Click click click.
There were also many students watching and taking photos.
Post the photo to the forum by the way.
Little James Gordon's fingers twitched slightly, but in the end he did not step forward to stop these people's behavior.
Because...it doesn't matter anymore.
"The King of Gotham? You mean the 'Statue of Gordon the Great'? Isn't the puzzle behind it completely meaningless? Moreover, it just blew up the 'Statue of the Great Gordon' without any casualties at all. What happened to the damn gentleman of the riddle?"
What do you want to do?”
"Here, sir, would you like a sip?"
Another police officer next to him saw little James Gordon's livid expression, so he went to the canteen next door and bought a bottle of the latest drink, which was cold and refreshing.
Little James Gordon didn't refuse. He drank it down in one gulp. As the cool liquid poured into his throat, little James Gordon felt a lot more relaxed in an instant.
at this time.
James Gordon Jr.'s phone was ringing like crazy.
——It's his father.
"Child, that riddle..."
Before Old Gordon could speak, James Gordon Jr. interrupted Old Gordon: "Dad, I'm sorry! Let you get bombed! Oh no, let your statue be blown up!"
Old Gordon didn't notice the language problem in James Gordon Jr.'s words for a moment, but his tone was a bit urgent and anxious, and he said quickly: "No! Boy, you heard that in the riddle of the Riddle Gentleman...his
There is more than one crime location! He wants to blow up... three places! Where are you now?"
Little James Gordon was stunned when he heard this.
Three, three, three places?
Too, too, too crazy?
After listening to what old Gordon said.
That's the answer to the riddle.
James Gordon Jr. interrupted the call with a heavy heart.
He lowered his head and silently looked at the time... It was already too late.
"Sir? Why are you laughing?"
The accompanying police officer suddenly looked at little James Gordon strangely.
"Laughing?" James Gordon Jr. rubbed his cheek vigorously: "You must have read it wrong."
It's too late to cry at this time, how can you still laugh?
The so-called riddle becomes worthless once the answer is revealed.
There is no mystery at all.
At least that's how it seems to James Gordon Jr.
In the latest mystery of the Riddle Gentleman, all of Gotham City, including James Gordon Jr., has fallen into a misunderstanding.
Everyone, including James Gordon Jr., believed that "one" crime was foretold and only "one" crime was committed.
But in fact, the riddle gentleman used a short riddle to point to two times and three places.
In the puzzle——
"I will accompany the last ray of sunshine" undoubtedly refers to the sunset. At sunset, it is 18:00. The sunset in Gotham City is always on time.
But at the same time, it also refers to the west, and to the west of Gotham City, the true meaning of the "Sea of Knowledge" is "Gotham University"!
"The King of Gotham" refers to James Gordon, the mayor of Gotham City. Put together with the previous mystery, there is no doubt that the answer is the "Gordon Statue" that was just blown up.
The follow-up of the riddle, "then, hush, listen" actually also implies that the gentleman in the riddle will commit crimes one after another. The action of "listen" means paying attention to the sound.
"The short sword, the long and narrow spear, the moment when the horn sounds" are reminiscent of the long and short hour hands of the bell tower!
Every hour, the clock tower will ring a bell.
And the horn that follows immediately at 18:00 is the sound of the bell, so the time is 19:00.
The stars fall and all the beasts attack.
Pointing to two locations respectively——
"s·t·a·r laboratory"!
"Gotham Zoo"!
"Witness the fireworks in Gotham together"... This sentence naturally means that these two locations exploded at the same time.
The biggest tip is actually at the end of the payment.
"1,2,3" is actually the most critical clue for solving the puzzle, and the "Busy Riddle Gentleman" actually implies that the Riddle Gentleman will be very busy in this criminal operation!
After all, there are three places to bomb.
suddenly--
Little James Gordon's pupils shrank slightly.
He thought of a deeper meaning.
The reason why the Riddle Gentleman chose the "Statue of Gordon" for the first explosion was to distract the police. Even if the riddle was solved after the first explosion, there would be no time to stop the third one an hour later.
Second explosion!
This terrifying and thoughtful riddle gentleman!
This damn charming riddle gentleman!
"correct--"
Only then did he remember that even if it was too late, he still had to do something.
But when little James Gordon looked down at his watch.
The time is just right.
【19:00】.
…
…
Gotham City.
s·t·a·r laboratory.
Gotham Zoo.
boom!
boom!
Almost at the same time, it exploded on the spot.
Like fireworks at a celebration, the blazing fire lit up the gloomy sky of Gotham City and stung everyone's eyes.
this--
It’s the Riddle Gentleman!
gbc radio station.
Everyone, including the authoritative experts who were talking about the riddle set by the riddle gentleman, suddenly felt a strong shock.
Everyone ignored the fact that the show was being broadcast live and hurriedly leaned out the window to take a look.
There are two places in Gotham City...
At this moment it has turned into a sea of fire!
This is bound to be a busy night.
Whether it's The Riddle Gentleman or Gotham.
In the dark night.
A gentleman in a tuxedo quietly stayed away from the crowd.
Behind it, there was a raging fire.
A real man never looks at the explosion behind him.
The streets were in chaos, but also filled with a weird madness.
Countless citizens carried various firearms and frantically searched for criminals around the Star Laboratory and Gotham Zoo.
As if she was isolated from the world, Yi Lin quietly shuttled through the crazy crowd. When Gotham citizens suddenly realized that someone seemed to be passing by, they turned around and saw that the elegant figure had long disappeared.
"Three 'crimes', three goals."
Yi Lin took out the question mark scepter and smiled.
Then he quickly put it back into the storage space and replaced it with an ordinary black umbrella.
In terms of quality, I feel that umbrellas are of higher quality.
After all, the question mark scepter is old and looks a bit worn.
In addition to successfully blowing up the "Gordon Statue" not long ago, Yi Lin gained a lot of sin points in total.
[In the name of "Riddle Gentleman", destroy Gotham's famous landmark "The Statue of Gordon" and obtain 60,000 sin points! ]
[In the name of "Riddle Gentleman", destroy the Gotham branch of S·T·A·R Laboratory and obtain 30,000 sin points! 】
[In the name of "Riddle Gentleman", destroy Gotham's famous attraction "Gotham Zoo" and obtain 40,000 sin points! 】
This score comes very quickly.
No wonder Li Erpang was greedy when he saw it.
"Huh?"
Yi Lin's expression suddenly condensed.
Then he closed his eyes and thought for two full minutes.
Suddenly he had an idea.
"It's time for a big vote..."
Yi Lin chuckled and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
…
…
The entire Gotham City has been plunged into madness due to the endless and charming crimes committed by the "Riddle Gentleman".
The strange thing is that although the Riddle Gentleman has committed many crimes, no one has said that they have seen the Riddle Gentleman's true face.
There are also various speculations on Gotham bbs.
Some people even made hand-drawn drawings of the "Riddle Gentleman" in various styles.
If Yi Lin had the opportunity to log into Gotham bbs and watch it, she would probably laugh and cry.
But Yi Lin... is a bit busy now.
No time to be distracted.
【20:00】
Gotham City.
wxyz broadcast station channel 2 headquarters.
A round figure was hiding furtively in the woods, looking at the figures that kept coming and going from the radio station.
"Are there too many people?"
"How did that kid Yi Lin plant the bomb in full view of everyone?"
"Isn't it too difficult?"
A vague sound, like the sound of chewing food, loomed behind the woods.
ten minutes later.
Li Erpang finished eating a whole fried chicken and threw the chicken bones on the floor. After harvesting a wave of mosquito legs for sin points, he was ready to take action.
Although he has set up a detailed action plan.
But when he arrived at the action site, he found some difficulties.
He moved his hands and feet a little.
The clothes are a bit tight.
No way, this is already the most fitting clothes that store can order...but it's still a bit small for Li Erpang's figure.
"Ahem..."
Li Erpang was brewing his emotions for a while.
He silently put on a dark blindfold, and he dug out two holes for his eyes.
He was wearing a tight black suit and a small round hat on his head.
Li Erpang is quite satisfied with this look.
After all, among the various villain legends in Gotham, the one who has a slightly more fitting image of him is the pudgy Penguin--Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot.
The name is a bit long, but that doesn't matter!
Sudden.
Li Erpang rushed out of the woods, smashed the glass door of wxyz Radio Channel 2 headquarters with one slap, and then plunged in.
"What the hell?"
"Someone broke into the radio station!"
At this time, although the radio station was already off work, there were still many people inside the radio station.
"kill!"
After Li Erpang broke in wearing a suit, many of the guards who stayed behind took out their weapons without hesitation and fired a hail of bullets at Li Erpang's back.
"Fuck——"
Li Erpang felt a cold murderous intention coming from behind him, and he did not dare to stop. He completely became a flexible fat man, jumping up and down in the hail of bullets, and dodging.
In the corridor of the office building, Li Erpang went around in circles and set up TNT bombs in every corner of the first floor.
Of course, he couldn't calculate when the explosion would be appropriate, so he could only use remote control to control the timing of the explosion.
The timed explosion thing... doesn't suit him.
If one person is not good, he will probably have to confess his two hundred kilograms of fat as well.
Chu tu tu tu——
Soon, other surrounding Gotham City citizens also received the news that wxyz Radio Station was invaded by "criminals", and the good citizens of Gotham City gradually moved closer to wxyz Radio Station.
They all have guns in their hands.
A few minutes later, Li Erpang also had a lot of bullet holes on his body, but his health value did not drop much. He directly protected his vitals, dodged left and right, and rolled out of the radio station again.
"The damn criminal is there!"
"Chase chase chase!"
"Go, go, go!"
"Don't let that damn fat guy get away!"
"..."
Who? The fat guy? Your whole family is the fat guy!
Li Erpang ran for a while, then suddenly stood up straight and turned around.
"Wait! I have something to say!"
This painting style that changed at every turn actually made the onlookers with guns and guns suddenly startled, and they were just not far away from Li Erpang.
Surrounded Li Erpang.
Li Erpang raised his head, his deep eyes... Because he was squinting, no one could distinguish him.
A lump of fat squeezed out from the corner of his mouth, a bit like a mysterious smile.
He opened his arms, pumped up his lungs, looked up to the sky and roared in front of everyone!
"I, Fatty Cobot, the Black Goose Man, come to Gotham tonight!"
"?"
"??"
"???"
Gotham: "..."
No one noticed that Li Erpang was holding a small and exquisite... detonator!
boom!!
A terrible earthquake, accompanied by an astonishing heat wave, centered on the first floor of the wxyz broadcast station, layered on top of each other, and spread in all directions.
Boom!
Because the bombs installed by Li Erpang were all on the first floor, and they were specially chosen to be on the load-bearing beams and columns. With this explosion, the floors above continued to sink at a terrifying speed, with great violence. Within a moment, more than half of the wxyz radio station collapsed
, submerged in a sea of fire and dust.
[In the name of "Black Goose Man", destroy Gotham's famous radio station "Wxyz Radio Channel 2 Headquarters" and obtain 50,000 sin points! ]
After receiving the task prompt, Li Erpang was instantly overjoyed and felt that the deal with Yi Lin was really worth it.
really--
Explosion! This is the romance of men!
I, the Black Goose, will blow up Gotham to pieces!
Explode the universe!
Fry, fry, fry!
suddenly.
The good citizens of Gotham City reacted and suddenly stared at Fatty Li with the same weird smile.
The strange smiles on the faces of the citizens were like the same mask, exuding evil aura.
Instantly, Fatty Li's scalp became numb all the way to his anus.
"you--"
Li Erpang didn't have time to call him "Black Goose Man" again.
I saw all Gotham citizens taking out grenades from their crotches in neat movements.
"Fuck ah ah ah -"
In an instant, there was another explosion of fire, completely engulfing Li Erpang's figure.
Boom boom boom boom——
…
…
【20:30】
Gotham City.
Wedgwood Museum.
It was already closing time at this time, so there were few people here.
Zhu Yun'er opened the "Sin List" and took a look.
Thoughtfully, he murmured to himself.
"That guy has no next move. Is it because he doesn't have enough bombs...or does he need other preparations? Well, that damn fat guy has also started to take action. With this score, he should have blown up a place."
"While they have no next move, now is the best time for us to take action!"
"Otherwise, even if it explodes, the crime will most likely be blamed on Yi Lin."
Zhu Yun'er had the same idea as Li Erpang.
After all, Yi Lin steals the show in Gotham City today.
If other people just bombed twice incognito, this major crime would most likely be recorded on the "Riddle Gentleman" account.
"Hmph...that cunning boy, do you really think I didn't see through your trick?"
Zhu Yun'er smiled coldly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth.
But deep down in her heart, Zhu Yun'er had to admit that Yi Lin's understanding of this main mission was indeed far better than that of the other apostles.
That's why the current situation has arisen.
Yi Lin is far ahead.
The others tried their best to catch up with Yi Lin.
"No matter what, we have to find a way..."
Zhu Yun'er's eyes flashed with dangerous light.
Su Xiaosu silently handed over a mobile phone.
Su Xiaosu snatched this from other citizens and asked for the password persuasively.
"good!"
Zhu Yun'er took a photo of TNT after the card was deactivated, and then took a photo of herself and Su Xiaosu.
Then quickly upload it to Gotham City bbs.
After various "criminals" triggered a series of criminal incidents tonight, at this moment, the traffic of Gotham City's bbs has reached an unprecedented high.
Almost as soon as a post was posted, tens of thousands of views were added in one minute.
suddenly.
An anonymous post caught the attention of all Gotham citizens.
"We, the 'Empress' and 'King Kong', will blow up the Wedgwood Museum in ten minutes, so stay tuned!"
This is...a blatant warning of a crime!
Where did this empress, King Kong, come from?
Although this character is far different from the elegant and charming riddle gentleman, criminals are criminals and must... die!!
then--
police.
Citizens!
All the nearby armed forces converged towards the Wedgwood Museum like a torrent at the fastest speed.
Zhu Yun'er's heart was slightly shocked.
About ten seconds after she posted the post, she felt the ground tremble slightly.
It was like...there were countless people walking on the ground in neat steps.
The vibrations on the ground actually reached here!
Horrible Gotham!
Zhu Yun'er gradually felt that the madness that belonged to this city, behind the seemingly simple folk customs, seemed to be an invisible hand, stimulating the emotions of the entire Gotham.
Fortunately, she didn't dare to send out a crime notice several hours in advance like Yi Lin did.
She couldn't figure out Yi Lin's weird guessing game either.
So the time she left for herself was only ten minutes!
If it takes longer, the two of them will be overwhelmed by the surging Gotham crowd!
In the distance, Zhu Yun'er could already hear the piercing sirens.
And the red and blue flashes of light formed a long string, moving quickly in the dark night.
Ten minutes are up!
Zhu Yun'er and Su Xiaosu looked at each other, without saying anything, they tightened their grip on the detonator and started to escape along the pre-planned route.
When James Gordon Jr. arrived first not far from the Wedgwood Museum.
boom!!
A dazzling flame rose into the sky!
The dark and simple Gotham City... was bombed again!
boom!
Little James Gordon slapped the steering wheel hard.
There is a beeping sound!
…
…
Nearly two hours have passed since the last action.
Yi Lin spent a lot of time preparing for the next action.
He opened the "Sin List" and took a look.
He quickly closed the sin list with a smile.
"It seems that they have also begun to find the secret to increasing points."
“Happy score-earning moment?”
Yi Lin raised her head and came to gbc TV station again.
If not for the need, Yi Lin would have planned to blow up this "Gotham landmark" that seemed to have a high score.
"Haha, will it really go so smoothly?"
After Yi Lin handed the "express delivery" to the doorman, Yi Lin lowered the brim of her hat and left gracefully.
Even until this time, no one has connected this elegant noble gentleman with the "riddle gentleman".
Just...for now.
Yi Lin raised her head and looked towards the tallest building in Gotham - Wayne Tower.
Smile slightly.
From the constantly updated news reports, Yi Lin also learned that her last "riddle" had been solved shortly before the explosion.
"This time..."
suddenly.
Gotham City.
gbc radio once again sent out a strong broadcast throughout the city!
"Toutiao! Headline! Attention all citizens! Attention all citizens!"
"Shocked! 'Riddle Gentleman' sent us a 'crime notice' again!"
"Wait a minute, what is this... USB flash drive? There, there is a video in it——"
