The ferocious split lips slowly evoked an evil smile.
"Jiejiejie..."
Gotham bbs forum.
Now it's completely exploded.
There are even many people who took advantage of the peak traffic period to put up small advertisements on Gotham BBS.
However, as long as the posts have nothing to do with "Gotham criminals", they will disappear into the sea almost as soon as they are posted.
——I was pushed down by countless posts about "Riddle Gentleman".
Yi Lin never expected that he, who was unknown in the real world, would become the top traffic person in Gotham City.
"Next...make the final preparations."
Yi Lin didn't stay too long, just like a hard-working little bee, buzzing quietly, becoming a rising star in Gotham City's criminal world.
Another corner of Gotham City.
At this time, darkness falls.
It's also easier to hide.
When Li Erpang saw Zhu Yun'er and Su Xiaosu's points on the crime list, and their points increased by a small amount, he couldn't help but grab a mobile phone. After gently asking for the password of the mobile phone, he logged into Gotham City's bbs to check the relevant news.
.
That second fool Pan Zhengyi must be at the bottom and cannot escape.
Yi Lin's score is far ahead, and she probably won't be able to catch up.
Li Erpang's current goal in "Main Mission Two" is to strive for second place.
The content of main task three is unknown, so Fatty believes that no matter what he does, he cannot fall too far behind in main task two.
No matter how bad it is, you still have to be ranked a little higher than Zhu Yun'er and Brother Su to have a chance of getting a higher rating in the final evaluation.
How do you say something?
——It all depends on the support of peers.
"What the hell? You can still play like this?"
Li Erpang browsed the posts for a few minutes and his eyes widened instantly.
As expected of a woman, she actually thought of using the forum to post notices to increase the "criminal visibility."
"If that's the case...hehehehe."
Li Erpang smiled obscenely. If those two girls could use this trick, he could also use it.
So, Li Erpang put away his cell phone.
Deng Deng Deng ground into the dark night.
Prepare to commit an "earth-shaking crime".
…
…
"Sister Susu, listen quickly!"
Zhu Yun'er, who was planning where to bomb next, suddenly heard the headlines broadcast across the city and was startled.
"Video Crime Notice Letter?"
What the hell is this?
When Zhu Yun'er thought of Yi Lin's expression, her intuition told her that there must be something weird in it.
But for a while, she couldn't figure out why this guy was publishing puzzles in such an increasingly high-profile way.
The video means... he will appear directly in the sight of Gotham citizens?
Broadcast throughout Gotham.
The beautiful host puts on the sexiest and most charming outfit.
Low-cut, deep V, short skirt, black stockings, high heels.
--Perfect.
People who were not in front of the TV, including several apostles, could only hear the sound but could not see the content of the video.
But for riddles, sound is enough.
Li Erpang also stopped in the darkness.
Listen carefully to Yi Lin's next plan.
When he thought of that pretender, Li Erpang couldn't help but feel his teeth itching with hatred.
If it weren't for that guy, why would he put on such a stupid tight suit?
You have to take your time even when running, for fear of being squeezed.
On the eve of the "Riddle Gentleman" crime trailer being played, the entire Gotham City suddenly fell into a strangely quiet atmosphere.
It seems like——
Everyone is waiting.
Everyone is waiting to hear the voice of this gentleman!
This is a voice that passes by all over Gotham.
At this moment, the entire Gotham City fell into complete silence just because of one "criminal"!
Friends sitting in front of the TV are already looking forward to the crime trailer video from "The Riddle Gentleman".
At the same time, this is also the next puzzle.
Sizzling——
The charming hostess gave the camera a few winks and finally started playing the video.
In video.
A gentleman wearing a black tuxedo, holding a folded umbrella, stood proudly.
I saw the "Riddle Gentleman" holding one hand on his chest and pushing down the brim of his hat with one hand.
In the video, the full face of the "Riddle Gentleman" cannot be seen clearly. It is covered by the gentleman's hat. Everyone can only see a mysterious smile full of confidence from under the black brim.
"Ah."
"Confused Gotham."
"Hello."
"I, Edward Ring, Gentleman of the Riddle."
"Next, is my next puzzle, and it is also the last puzzle tonight. I hope I can bring you the most dazzling fireworks show in front of the TV."
In the video, the corner of the riddle gentleman Edward Lin's mouth curled up slightly.
Then he said slowly in an unhurried and unhurried tone——
"When Scarlet and Scarlet Moon meet again,"
"When the stars fall like rain,"
"When the night sky dies in a blink of an eye,"
"When memory is no longer eternal,"
"When death is no longer far away,"
"When day comes no more,"
"When the sky can no longer be touched,"
"When your eyes are no longer favored by the light,"
"When I am separated from you by the vast distance of time and space,"
"When the distance of longing is as far away as the other side of the dead,"
"then,"
"I will cross the long river of space,"
"Breaking the barrier between reality and illusion,"
"I am everywhere,"
"I'm going everywhere,"
"Tonight, Gotham will go crazy with my fireworks."
"The gentleman will descend in the center of the fireworks and take off the crown of the old dark king."
"who I am?"
Everyone looked stunned.
Completely clueless.
But when I heard it, it seemed very profound.
In the short video, after the riddle gentleman finished telling the mysterious riddle, his lips tightened, evoking a hint of imperceptible loneliness, which was quickly replaced by a confident smile.
I saw the "Riddle Gentleman" elegantly holding the brim of his hat and performing gentlemanly etiquette through the screen to everyone watching the live broadcast.
The etiquette freezes for about one second.
"Good night."
The video from "Riddle Gentleman" ends abruptly.
"..."
Li Erpang: "Pretend!"
Zhu Yun'er: "Pretending! 1"
Su Xiaosu: "Pretending.2"
Pan Zhengyi: "Pretentious Young Man 3, Jie Jie Jie Jie——"
At the moment when the video, or the city-wide broadcast, or the live broadcast without delay ended, other apostles from the same world as Yi Lin unexpectedly gave the same comment.
It's just that the tone and look are slightly different.
"not good!"
Li Erpang's expression became solemn: "Although I can't solve that kid's riddle, according to that kid's style, he usually makes announcements some time in advance. He's used to pretending, and I guess he won't be able to change it for a while. Look,
Come and hurry up!"
Another part of Gotham City.
"Huh! Are you trying to be mysterious?" Zhu Yun'er smiled coldly: "Isn't he a poetry writer in reality?"
Su Xiaosu looked calm and reminded: "It's time for us to take action."
Zhu Yun'er looked back at Su Xiaosu, all the hatred in her eyes restrained, and smiled slightly: "Oh, but it doesn't matter, this is the second main mission, the third main mission is the real beginning, so what if I give this round to him? However, we also
We can’t fall too far behind. At the very least, we have to squeeze out that damn fat man and Pan Zhengyi.”
All the apostles began to act secretly again in their own way.
…
…
Snapped.
James Gordon Jr. slammed his police hat to the ground.
Very angry.
He suddenly remembered the news about cerebral hemorrhage again.
A mouthful of sweet and fishy taste gushed out of his mouth, and little James Gordon swallowed it back hard.
Gudong Gudong——
Little James Gordon drank the drink in his hand and suppressed his shock.
After the shock, he suddenly smiled coldly.
"You dare to release the video in front of everyone? Humph! You underestimate Gotham City! Send me a wanted warrant. As long as the suspects whose appearance matches the 'Riddle Gentleman' in the video, they will... be killed on the spot!
"
"yes!"
Sheriff Gordon's men took action.
In the past twenty years, they have never tried to act so resolutely.
In the past two days, they seemed to have become police officers again.
Not gamblers, drunkards, prostitutes... cough cough.
"Also, launch the helicopter and search the whole city. If you find 'King Kong', 'Empress', or 'Black Goose Man', shoot them all on the spot! After the shooting, you can go to Mayor Gordon to receive financial subsidies!"
"Hey, sir, even if you don't say anything, the citizens will choose to shoot the heinous criminals on the spot if they find them."
Another police officer suddenly laughed strangely.
"What did you say?"
"Uh... no, I'll give the order right now."
After completing all the instructions, little James Gordon lowered his head in deep thought, pondering over a mystery whose length exceeded the horizon.
Obviously, this puzzle is confusing.
The difficulty is estimated to be sky-high.
It can be called the most bizarre puzzle since the appearance of "Riddle Gentleman".
No matter which sentence it is, it seems that it does not match any location in Gotham City.
Except for the last sentence "fireworks" which should refer to an explosion unless there is no accident, little James Gordon could not guess the time or place at all.
Is the riddle gentleman's IQ really that terrible?
How can one person bring the entire Gotham to a halt with just one person?
"hateful--"
Little James Gordon suddenly felt extremely regretful.
That night in the bell tower, there should have been no hesitation in shooting the riddle gentleman instead of letting him raise his hands.
It was that moment of hesitation that night that allowed Gotham to evolve into what it is today.
Gotham, it seems, is gradually returning to the chaos and disorder it was twenty years ago.
A kind of chaos that makes people feel powerless.
But twenty years ago, Gotham City had Batman.
Today, twenty years later, there is no longer the Dark Knight who hides in the darkness to punish criminals.
"No--"
Little James Gordon was thinking wildly when he suddenly realized that he had thoughts that shouldn't have occurred.
He shook his head violently, throwing away the unrealistic thoughts.
Even the disappeared Batman cannot represent justice in Gotham.
His methods are not just at all.
The only one who can represent justice in Gotham is Gordon!
Whether it was his father back then or him now... Chief Gordon!
…
…
【22:30】
Gotham City.
The sky is filled with helicopters.
Countless beams of light are cast from helicopters to search for criminals on the ground.
Of course, the focus is still on the "Riddle Gentleman".
Almost as long as anyone wearing a black suit, regardless of gender, old or young, has the slightest clue, a group of people will pounce on them and shoot them to death indiscriminately.
After all, he was a heinous criminal!
How could he not be beaten to death?
How could he not be beaten to death?
How can you not die?
Well, beaten to death!
At the top of the Wayne Tower.
Bruce Wayne fell completely silent.
He admitted that the young man who called himself "Riddle Gentleman" was far beyond his imagination.
This time the riddle turned out to be so long and so difficult to guess.
He looked at it for a long time, but except for a little clue at the end, he couldn't quite figure out the rest.
Even the time of the crime left Bruce Wayne clueless.
Bruce took a sip of wine and looked at the three graceful and delicious bodies on the bed.
This time, he didn't respond at all.
My mind is filled with that weird puzzle.
"Am I really old?"
Bruce Wayne shook his head helplessly, recalling the battle of wits and courage with the Riddler and the Penguin, and felt quite emotional.
And this time...
suddenly.
There was a continuous vibration on the desktop.
It's old Gordon.
Bruce smiled bitterly.
"What? You can't even guess it?"
When Old Gordon heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Haha, this is Gotham's rising star!" Bruce actually joked humorously.
"..."
"Old friend, run away."
Bruce swung the wine glass: "Although I can't guess his riddle, I can also see that the final explosion of the riddle gentleman was definitely huge, otherwise he wouldn't have said it was 'fireworks all over the sky'. If every sentence was
If it represents an explosion site, there will be too many targets and there will be no time to defuse the bomb... unless you can catch him."
Old Gordon held the phone tightly and was quite speechless: "Old man, you know, I was born in Gotham."
"clear."
Bruce hung up the phone.
He understood what Old Gordon meant.
He was born in Gotham, and he will choose to die in Gotham.
Bruce looked at the sky. Twenty years ago, there was still a thick layer of dark clouds floating over Gotham.
Only this layer of clouds made him feel extremely familiar.
It seemed as if a bright and eye-catching... bat lamp was about to appear among the clouds.
suddenly.
Bruce's pupils narrowed slightly.
He remembered a certain sentence in the riddle.
Couldn't help but whisper in a low voice.
A few more seconds.
Bruce suddenly laughed.
…
…
【22:50】
The whole Gotham is covered with dark clouds.
This doesn't just refer to the dark clouds over Gotham.
It also refers to the dark cloud in everyone’s heart.
The earth-shattering explosion in the trailer of "Riddle Gentleman" Edward Lin has not happened yet.
A few hours have passed, and even GBC radio station has invited more than a dozen authoritative experts to try to solve the riddle of the riddle gentleman. However, many guesses have been put forward so far, and they have been overturned one by one.
No one location, or no one answer, can perfectly explain the riddle announced by "Riddle Gentleman" Edward Ring!
This can be called... the most difficult mystery in the history of Gotham City!
This question... is too difficult!
In the sky.
One helicopter after another hovers over Gotham.
This is a military force directly under Mayor James Gordon.
Both in terms of quality and professionalism, they far surpass those of the Gotham Police Department who have been idle for many years.
"b78! b78! Your light is crooked! Please focus on searching the ground!"
"b78——"
"b78?"
"Ahem, b78 received it!"
"a93, have you found anything in the Upper East Side?"
"C93 found a suspicious "Black Goose Man" figure in Burnley District. Please ask nearby police teams to immediately send people to search."
"B63 found suspected figures of 'King Kong' and 'Empress' on the banks of the Finger River... Damn! It's them! Go! Gogogo! Rush!"
Under the professional air force search and attack, all the apostles gradually became invisible.
"Damn it, it's almost time!"
The noise got louder and louder, and there were not many TNT bombs left in his hand. Li Erpang was inspired by the ideas of Zhu Yun'er and the two girls. He spent nearly half the night, burying TNT in several locations, and set up
Set a time.
He was even afraid of forgetting the time, so he deliberately recorded the explosion time of each place in a small notebook.
At that time, as long as the "notice" is sent to Gotham BBS in advance before the explosion time, it will not only increase the sense of existence, but also harvest a large amount of sin points!
By then, points will be rolling in on the list!
The name "Black Goose Man" can also be heard throughout Gotham!
"wakaka……"
Thinking of the wonderful scene to come, Li Erpang couldn't help laughing.
If given a choice, I want to be a good person!
But, I have no choice!
Li Erpang smiled coquettishly and couldn't help rubbing his palms excitedly.
Near the Finger River.
The lights of the helicopter were like gangrene attached to the bones, biting the two figures from the sky and refusing to let go.
"Sister Su Su, your figure is more conspicuous. You go and divert the helicopter while I hide. We are running out of time. I must publish the trailer on Gotham BBS as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the time is up, the bomb will explode and the crime value may be
It will all fall on that guy Yi Lin."
Zhu Yun'er said as she galloped quickly.
Su Xiaosu was silent for a moment and didn't say anything more. She just whispered: "Okay."
suddenly.
Under the light of the helicopter, Su Xiaosu's muscles seemed to bulge, and her veins swelled, which was extremely frightening.
Boo!pia——
She actually uprooted a tree on the roadside with her bare hands and threw it directly towards the helicopter in the sky!
"Fuck...kkk!! What kind of monster is this! He, he, he is not a human being!"
In the public channel of the helicopter team, a panicked voice suddenly exploded.
The distance is so far, the throw will definitely miss.
But Su Xiaosu was not so incredible that she could throw a tree with her bare hands and accurately hit a helicopter in the air. However, her move scared the helicopter's lighting beam and caused it to swing left and right.
When the helicopter pilot came to his senses again, the figure of 'Empress' Zhu Yun'er was missing on the ground.
"court death!"
Click click click.
On both sides of the combat helicopter, the cover was lifted, and two-wheeled machine guns appeared, about to spit out terrifying tongues of fire.
…
suddenly!
An arrogant and unruly figure appeared in the sky without warning.
"ladies alemen——Jiejiejie——"
Originally, this GBC company's projection system was used to place various expensive advertisements, but now it broadcasts a strange figure live.
With his head touching the sky and his feet touching the ground, he is wearing a purple suit and his face is painted with ferocious mottled paint!
It's him!
It's him!
It's him!
That one...joker!
Fake joker!
This "fake joker" had already robbed gbc once last night, but I didn't expect to make the same mistake again tonight.
As we all know, the real joker is dead.
"Ha-" the "joker" in the sky looked down at the entire Gotham from a high altitude with a crazy look.
No one can guess why this gbc was robbed again and again by a "fake clown".
"Hey hey hey..." The clown suddenly started shaking like a convulsion, and his hoarse voice spread throughout Gotham through the public address system.
"why so serious?"
"Is it because of... love? Stupid Oudou——"
Gotham: "???"
"Hey hey hey... do you think I'm crazy?" The upright "joker" silhouette suddenly put on a serious expression.
Gotham: Nonsense!
"Hey, look, madness actually has two sides." The fake joker stretched out his white palm, raised the front and back sides respectively, and then the scarlet messy lip paint suddenly split towards the base of the ear.
——That is a ferocious clown smile.
"But actually, hehehe, you see, this side is madness, and the other side of madness is...art!"
The fake joker's shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, pointing at a building.
There--
Louis E. Grieve Memorial High School!
boom!
In an instant, where the clown pointed, there was a violent explosion, and fire... shot up into the sky! Lighting up the whole city!
The whole city... was boiling instantly!
This is...a real clown!
The former Lord of Darkness...joker!!
And a corner that no one has discovered.
Li Erpang was stunned.
The next second.
Li Erpang looked sad and started crying hysterically——
"I'm fooling your uncle, Pan Zhengyi! That was the explosion that I worked so hard to bury..."
