Chapter 112 I, Joker!

Little James Gordon, silently paid.

5 dollars.

slightly expensive.

But it doesn't matter.

James Gordon Jr. turned over the new notice card after waving the postman away.

Needless to say, it was that damned "riddler gentleman" again.

He was almost certain that this mysterious "riddler gentleman" must be related to the former Riddler.

Whether it's the style of acting, or the riddles that are mysterious.

But it seems to be a little different from the Riddler.

The riddle gentleman did not commit many crimes, so James Gordon Jr. could not tell why for a while.

There are brand new puzzles written on the teaser letter.

[I will divide the world into two, and I will welcome the midnight bell and walk towards the first ray of dawn in Gotham. A half-human, half-animal god descends, and I will twist off the god's horned head, and use it to carry Gotham's second fireworks, igniting the torrent from winter to summer. 】

signature -

【The fiery "Riddler Gentleman", Edward Rin, Yours sincerely】

Little James Gordon's eyes were cold, and he was so angry that he almost tore up the card in his hand.

He clenched the card tightly in his right hand.

Until the card became crumpled, James Gordon Jr. slowly smoothed the cardboard again.

Fortunately, the quality of the card is good, otherwise the handwriting would have been hard to read.

"Sir!"

"Fuc...kkkk! Who blew up our Gotham Police Station!"

At this time, Gotham police officers who saw the flames of the explosion drove their police cars back to the vicinity of the police station.

When they saw the famous Gotham landmark in the past, the Gotham Police Station was blown into ruins, their eyes widened in shock, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

this,

This, this, what the hell was blown up?

Okay, so it's gone if you say no?

Gradually, dozens of Gotham police officers returned to the "former" Gotham Police Department.

"snort!"

James Gordon Jr. looked at the time.

According to the notice letter, the crime time should be after midnight.

From the looks of it, the riddle gentleman seems to be preparing something.

to commit the next crime.

There are still more than 5 hours before midnight, which is 0:00 in the morning.

There is plenty of time!

suddenly.

A cold smile gradually emerged from the corner of James Gordon Jr.'s mouth.

...

...

to be honest.

Yi Lin is really not very good at playing riddles.

Things that can be finished in one sentence have to be divided into several paragraphs, and it is only after panting, and others may not be able to understand what has been said.

In Yi Lin's view, this kind of behavior is a bit boring.

But Erin couldn't help it either.

Who told Gotham City to like this tone in the book?

It seems that the book "Legend of the Riddler", in bookstores, is second only to "Legend of the Clown" and "Legend of the Harley Quinn", and has become the third best-selling book series in Gotham.

Night fell.

The entire Gotham City is no longer the silence of the previous night.

On the contrary, it became more and more lively.

The gunfire, the noise, the sound of the cannon, the sound is pleasant.

It came from all over the city, and it came from time to time, and it almost never completely subsided.

"It seems that other people are also working hard."

The whole city is lit up with lights.

Dazzling beams of light interweave into one piece over the city, and fall on the dark clouds over Gotham City, looking extraordinarily stylish.

Yi Lin wore a pure black gentleman's tuxedo, and came slowly from the darkness.

The dark night is his world.

Especially since he is now wearing a black suit.

When the shadow-following skill is activated, as long as he hides in the dark, no one will be able to discover his existence.

At least, so far, no.

Tuk tuk.

This is the sound of the question mark scepter lightly tapping on the bluestone slab.

The air of Gotham City gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Come with the wind.

Yi Lin supported the brim of her hat and raised her head.

In front of him was an ancient clock tower.

Above the clock tower, the two huge pointers moved with a specific rhythm, and Yi Lin could even faintly distinguish the crisp sound of gears behind the clock tower.

Yi Lin silently checked the "Paida Cuili" watch in her hand.

【21:33】

There is plenty of time.

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Yi Lin's mouth.

--wrong.

Yi Lin quickly changed to another smile, the kind that is breezy.

Almost out of play.

He suddenly thought of actor Li Changge.

This kind of Gotham City with a peculiar style, if that guy plays it, it will probably be more realistic.

The Gotham Clock Tower is also a landmark building.

Twenty years ago, when the villains in Gotham City were at their most rampant, it was said that the clock tower had been blown up by those people countless times.

After all these years of tinkering, the Gotham Clock Tower finally survived the era of gunfire.

The locks of the clock tower are rusted.

In Gotham City, where the folk customs are simple and honest, no one has ever dared to take the risk of "crime" to break into the "no entry" clock tower before, so it seems that the lock has never been changed.

Twenty years.

After 20 years of rest and recuperation, the refurbished and repaired bell tower finally has a bit of a "scenic spot" flavor.

Yi Lin stared at the rusty lock for a few seconds.

Suddenly smiled.

"hehe……"

Then, he took out the blood jasmine, raised the knife with his hand, and directly chopped off the lock.

There is no difficulty.

Inside the clock tower, there was no one there.

Of course.

Some people call it weird.

Of course, it's not necessarily surprising.

Yi Lin took out a pen and paper from her pocket, the ones she snatched back.

There are no lights in the bell tower.

Yi Lin felt a little helpless, and could only walk out of the gate of the bell tower, and silently wrote a small card.

After finishing writing, I read it three times from beginning to end, and carefully blacked out the question marks behind it, and I was finally satisfied.

After making all the preparations, Yi Lin started to step up the bell tower step by step.

When you are about to reach the top of the bell tower.

suddenly.

Yi Lin paused.

Think for a moment.

To be on the safe side, I temporarily put away the "question mark scepter" and took out another card from the storage space.

After crushing, the gray card turned into a brand new black umbrella with British style in Yi Lin's hands.

Along the way, Yi Lin passed the maintenance room of the clock tower.

There are many complex and huge gears running inside.

Driven by the clockwork, it makes a rhythmic sound of clicking.

Going up again, you will reach the top of the bell tower.

It was an empty rooftop.

This clock tower does not know what kind of ghost and animal setting it refers to, and an empty platform is actually built above the clock tower.

It is said that the structure was added by the designer himself during the last repair.

Is it because the villain doesn't run fast enough?

Although Yi Lin also felt that such a setting was a bit weird.

But when I think about it carefully, this is Gotham City, and I don't find it strange to refer to the short stories in those best-selling books.

The folk customs of Gotham City are simple, maybe the designer who repaired the clock tower made such a platform for the convenience of the villains to escape from the clock tower.

After all, in the history of Gotham City, too many stories have happened in the Gotham Clock Tower.

Looking down from the platform, although the entire Gotham City is advanced in technology, it is full of weird Gothic style everywhere. The tracks, trains, water pipes, thick smoke, and sewers give people a feeling of prosperity but depression. .

chug chug——

Suddenly, on the street about two kilometers away from the clock tower.

There was a large flame.

boom.

And grenades.

Immediately afterwards, a chubby figure flew into the air silently.

Then it fell back down the street again.

"Oh, so it's Fatty!"

Erin was sure.

From this point of view, Li Erpang is still struggling hard.

Click!

At this moment——

Suddenly there was the sound of a bullet being loaded from behind Yi Lin.

"Gentlemen of riddles, raise your hands!"

Yi Lin admired the unique night view of Gotham.

"Edward Rin! Hands up!"

Yi Lin turned around and smiled slightly.

There was no surprise in the expression.

"It's an honor to meet you, James Gordon Jr., the current Sheriff of the Gotham Police Department."

Yi Lin bowed slightly, and performed a standard gentleman's etiquette to James Gordon Jr. with an elegant gesture.

"Are you the riddle gentleman?"

Little James Gordon held the gun steadily, pointing at Yi Lin's head, with his finger on the trigger.

Although the light at the top of the clock tower was dim, he could still tell from the intertwined beams of light over the city that Edward Rin, who called himself the "Riddler Gentleman" in front of him, looked so young.

But what's with that unhurried and unhurried attitude?

Little James Gordon could clearly tell that Yi Lin didn't have a weapon in her hand.

Except...a black umbrella.

etc.

Umbrella?

Little James Gordon suddenly remembered another name that resounded throughout Gotham twenty years ago.

Penguin.

His weapon is also a black umbrella.

but--

As we all know, the relationship between Penguin and Riddler is not good. Even if Riddler has a relationship with the former Riddler, it is absolutely impossible to get that umbrella from Penguin.

This could be a parody crime.

Sheriff Gordon had a guess in his mind.

"I've solved your riddle!"

Sheriff Gordon sneered: "You clumsy criminal, do you think you are really the Riddler? The crime you committed, according to the laws of Gotham City, is enough to sentence you to death 10,000 times!"

As he spoke, Sergeant Gordon shook his fingers slightly.

Like pulling the trigger!

"hehe--"

In fact, Yi Lin already knew before he climbed up the bell tower that someone stepped up the bell tower before him.

According to the Gotham City travel guide, if there are no mistakes in the descriptions of James Gordon Jr., it should be this person who "solved" the puzzle he set and came here in advance.

The lock has traces of being opened.

"interesting."

This little James Gordon was very thoughtful. In order to prevent Yi Lin from noticing that someone was ambushing in the clock tower, he asked other people to lock the clock tower again after climbing up the clock tower, creating an illusion that no one had been there.

Yi Lin's sudden laughter made little James Gordon's pupils shrink.

"why are you laughing?"

"Are you sure, you solved my riddle?"

In the darkness, Yi Lin stared into little Gordon's eyes, which were piercing.

Like two stars in the dark.

"With the sound of the midnight bell, isn't it referring to the clock tower? Your presence here is the proof that I have solved the riddle."

Yi Lin smiled slightly, and lightly stroked the handle of the umbrella with her fingers.

"My riddle is more than just this sentence?"

"Besides, it's...it's not midnight yet."

"..."

Little Gordon was speechless, but soon he calmed down and aimed his gun at Yi Lin.

"No matter what the answer to the riddle is, you, botched Gotham criminal, you're going to die here!"

"Want to know the answer?"

Gordon was taken aback.

He nodded almost subconsciously.

These few hours, he almost racked his brains to think about the answer to this riddle.

But apart from the first two sentences, everything else made him feel at a loss.

Can't figure out why.

My heart is itchy and itchy.

There is a feeling that it is difficult to relieve the itching without knowing the answer to the riddle.

Yi Lin seemed to have understood Sergeant Gordon's psychology long ago, even if she was pointed at by a gun, she would still remain aloof.

Besides, Yi Lin's perception has already spread, even if he has signs of shooting, Yi Lin doesn't panic.

——There are preparatory plans.

Yi Lin's expression made Sheriff Gordon suddenly have an illusion, as if he was the one who was pointed at by the gun.

But...it doesn't matter!

He has the upper hand!

He's the one with the gun now!

No one can commit a crime in Gotham!

The criminal must die!

Here... is his Gotham!

Not anyone else's Gotham.

Erin laughed again.

"Give you a hint."

James Gordon Jr.: "?"

Yi Lin suddenly said loudly: "The reminder is... let the world feel the pain from now on."

James Gordon Jr.: "??"

in an instant.

Yi Lin's voice just fell.

There seemed to be a loud bang in James Gordon's head, and when his eyes went dark, he fell straight behind him.

Boom.

Flowering in the back of your head.

I don't know how long it has been.

Little James Gordon opened his eyes again.

The figure of the damned criminal has long since disappeared!

He hurriedly got up from the ground and looked down from the top of the clock tower.

Below the clock tower, police cars have already surrounded.

caught?

Or was it run away?

etc.

From this bell tower, it is impossible for the riddle gentleman to jump down here safely, right?

Even the famous Riddler twenty years ago could never have this level.

It's not the Batman who will go to heaven and earth!

Thinking of the former name, James Gordon Jr.'s expression turned cold.

At this time, he felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of his head.

Head a little dizzy.

Little Gordon reached out to touch it, and the back of his head was dripping with blood.

He gritted his teeth and ignored it.

Suddenly, he found this small white card standing upright in a corner of the platform.

"!"

Little Gordon didn't even care about the wound on his head, he picked up the little card and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately.

I saw a line written on the card.

Still a puzzle.

But this time, it is a well-known riddle that anyone who has read the best-selling book "Legend of the Riddler" will know the answer to!

[I exist in reality, I am absurd in reality, you can deduce me, you can create me, who am I? 】

signature -

[Friendly Gotham City neighbor, warm reminder, riddle gentleman Edward Rin, yours sincerely. 】

James Gordon Jr. tore the card blankly.

Cards are tough.

It's a little hard to tear off.

But the card was still broken.

Eloquently floated down from the top of the bell tower.

Like fine snow.

"lie!"

- This is the answer.

Everyone in Gotham knows the answer.

After all, too classic.

It's written in the book.

James Gordon Jr. read it as a kid, and was obsessed with it for a while.

Ahem... In short, this is a warm reminder from "The Gentleman of Riddles".

Does it mean that there is a lie hidden in the first puzzle?

That's why he came to the clock tower?

He is the one being deceived?

A mere parody?

"What did the riddle gentleman do just now, why did I suddenly faint?"

Sergeant Gordon frowned, his face getting colder.

There was a hint of hatred mixed in faintly.

"But why didn't he kill me?"

"Could it be... I'm not worth his hands?"

"hateful……"

A low growl escaped Sergeant Gordon's mouth.

But he did not forget his duty.

He hurriedly walked down the bell tower, took out the flashlight from his waist, and carefully searched the inside of the entire bell tower.

It is very possible that the "riddler gentleman" is still in the bell tower and has not escaped.

Sheriff Gordon wasn't letting himself pass any chance.

...

...

Nobody noticed.

in the dark.

The other side of the clock tower.

A black figure in a black tuxedo, a pitch-black gentleman's hat, and spotless white gloves, holding an umbrella in one hand, slowly floated down from the sky.

Elegant and evil, that figure is like a nobleman dancing in the dark night.

Night is his dance floor.

It's a pity that the dance partner is missing.

Yi Lin landed on the ground smoothly and put away her umbrella.

Not far away, the piercing sirens continued, flashing red and blue lights.

Yi Lin smiled slightly, and continued to follow her like a shadow, silently hiding in the darkness.

"Sure enough... the 'riddle' copied from the book can't be triggered?"

Yi Lin, who was gradually moving away from the bell tower, murmured in the dark.

But it's also normal, Yi Lin had expected it a long time ago, but on the spur of the moment, she fudged it a bit and did an experiment by the way.

Turning another corner, Yi Lin suddenly felt her whole body sink.

In the upper right corner of the apostle panel, a BUFF icon with wings suddenly disappeared.

The time is just right.

Ah no, a little more.

It was indeed an accident that Yi Lin faced James Gordon Jr. on the clock tower tonight, but it was not entirely an accident.

The puzzle he set has two layers.

The most stupid level, and the second level hidden in the depths of lies.

Yi Lin's original plan A was to leave a card at the location indicated by the first lie puzzle.

If someone came to the clock tower at midnight and saw the deliberately left card, it might add a bit of mystery and legend to the name "Riddler Gentleman".

Even if there is only a little bit, it is not a loss.

As for what to write on the card?

The Riddler Gentleman is here for a visit?

Do I want to be unable to cover my eyes again this day?

My riddle your heart?

These are all unimportant, anyway, Yi Lin finally adopted plan B.

A1 to A9 totaled 9 plans, and Yi Lin gave up all of them the moment she saw the rusty lock.

A series of plans were redone.

On the mental side route, the brain turns so fast and willful.

"Hehe, by now, a seed should have been planted in that Sergeant Gordon's heart, right?"

"Next, some people should also appear on the stage, right?"

Yi Lin knew that the journey to restore the glory of Gotham City had only just begun.

Hide in the dark.

Yi Lin took out a large handful of cards from the storage space.

All in one hand.

Like thirteen cards in one hand.

Take a closer look, all of them are of the same color, ah no, the same pattern.

...

【Enhanced TNT Bomb】

【Grade】Ordinary

[Effect] What else do you want to use it for besides explosion?

[Description] Well, explosions are the real art!

...

Yi Lin looked at the hand of cards.

Some headaches.

Is the next one a king bomb? Or Wang Zha plus Wang Zha plus Wang Zha?

This is the ammunition accumulated in Gotham City for 20 years without crime!

...

...

suddenly!

At this moment——

The Gotham sky above Yi Lin's head suddenly became brighter.

Countless spotlights seemed to be controlled by someone, gathering in the center of Gotham City.

All the light beams gathered together, as if waiting for some kind of existence to come.

"Cough cough cough—"

A cough resounded through the night sky from the Gotham City radio.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in the center of the beam of light.

The figure was wearing a tight purple suit that didn't fit well, and a weird clown paint was painted on his face. Against the background of the paint, the corner of his mouth looked a little weird and unpredictable.

This is--

Stereoscopic projection?

etc.

Yi Lin frowned suddenly.

This person looks a little familiar.

"Jie jie jie—"

"Ladies And Gentlemen—Jie Jie Jie—"

The man in the suit suddenly let out a sharp and weird sound, with a bit of madness, and laughed.

Accompanied by Gotham City's public address system, the laughter seemed extremely harsh.

"I, Joker, am back!"

Yi Lin was slightly taken aback.

This voice—

It's clearly Pan Zhengyi!
