Chapter 137: The Riddle of the Dead

The secret room under the Holy Light Trading Grounds.

Smal had finally drained the full power of Butrin's corpse in the top hat, and he felt that the consumption he had generated in the previous battle had been fully replenished, and the full Devil Fruit Core seemed to be about to advance to the next stage at any time.

For now, though, Smail has to deal with other problems.

Smal approached in the flesh and blood of his enemies, and he looked at the Riddler with a smile and said:

"Are you really going to fight me?"

"Think of this question as a riddle." The Riddler replied casually with his cane in both hands.

"Hopefully this isn't your last riddle. But whether you want to fight me or not, I won't keep you alive. Smaël said in a deep voice.

"yes, you just said you were going to beat me up, I wouldn't take this as a polite remark." Said the Riddler.

Smal's gaze moved to Gong Ping, who was standing next to him, at this time, and said lightly:

"Hehehehe...... You're a strange guy too, and if you just want to go head-to-head with me on relatively fair terms, I can promise you before. ”

"Are you sure? If you don't use your control, you're likely to die at my hands at any time, and even then, do you want to give it a try? Gong Ping said.

"Hehehehehehe, of course I'm happy to accompany you!" Smal smiled, and his sly gaze moved to the Riddler next to him, "You promised to provide him with a relatively fair fighting field, but in fact, you yourself are not sure whether it can be achieved, and from this point of view, you are not worth cooperating!" ”

Gong Ping's gaze glanced at the Riddler, his expression cold.

The Riddler licked his lips and said:

"You're so confident, how do you know I can't do it? And you also miscalculated Caesar, he didn't have the ability to enter that secret room, and even if he had, he wouldn't have been able to get that Devil Fruit! ”

"Oh? What does this have to do with me? Greed comes with risk, and that's his choice. Smaël grinned.

"In that case, there's no need for us to engage in these meaningless discussions, let's get started!" The Riddler spread out his hand and stretched out his crutches.

"Riddle BOX!"

An eerie green glow appeared on Edward Yogmar's body, enveloping him from top to bottom, and then the cane in his hand struck in Smer's direction.

In fact, as early as the end of the battle just now, Smaer had already wrapped his flexible love around the Riddler's arm, preparing to wait for the Riddler to take the opportunity to pull his arm, change the direction of the crutch swing, and smash it into the Riddler himself, so that the Riddler and Gong Ping would trigger the riddle space, and he would not enter.

But at this time, Smal suddenly changed his mind, and he did not evade to meet the Riddler's scepter head-on.

The Riddler was also slightly surprised, he had already mastered Smail's fruit abilities through observation, including his ability to control, and the ability to manipulate some invisible force to bind enemies and pull to change attacks, so back when Smerr wrapped the telescopic gel around his arm. The Riddler had already noticed the oddity.

The Riddler thought of a countermeasure, but he didn't expect Smail to use the flexible love.

"Hehehehe...... Don't be surprised, don't you love guessing puzzles? And I, like to fulfill the wishes of the dead! Smal said with a sly smile.

The Riddler frowned slightly, once his ability was released, he could not stop, and he had to watch him and Gong Ping be surrounded by a circle of question marks at the same time, and then enter a different dimensional space that is divorced from reality.

At this time, from the outside world, it was just an ordinary green square box in front of him, exactly the same as the riddle box that had locked up Bowworth last time.

"Abominable ......"

Yogma showed a rare hint of restlessness, and the change in events was so unexpected that he was disgusted by something as interesting as guessing for the first time.

Even so, according to the Riddler's ability setting, after he created the Riddle Chamber, he had to tell the riddle in order for the people inside the Riddle BOX to complete the decryption.

As a result, Yogma had no choice but to bite the bullet and utter his riddle:

"Two Knights of Fate, you will have a duel of fate today, and in this space full of unknowns, those who hold the truth will gain authority and advantage. Below, listen to my riddle: the black son of a white father, wingless but flying, born and close to death. Hug it, take possession of it completely, and then go and see why the boy wants his dog to bask in the sun, devouring it according to the rules of things that only rise and do not fall in you, and what awaits you will be the freedom you desire! ”

The Riddler finished reading his riddle, and the voice disappeared into the confined space.

At this time, Smal and Gong Ping, who were still inside the secret room, had already entered that strange interdimensional space, leaving only the riddler man who was worried outside.

The Riddler has his own plan, and according to his idea, he pulls Smail and Miyahei into his riddle space at the same time, so that the two of them can complete a fair duel.

In the space created by the Riddler, the ability of the person who enters the Riddle Space can be suppressed to a certain extent, but as for whether it can prevent Smaer from using the ability to control, he is not sure.

What he wants to do is just let Gong Ping delay for a while, according to the effect of [Riddle BOX]:

Consume half of your stamina and fruit power to create a riddle box that can hold up to 3 people. Those who enter the inside of the riddle BOX will challenge the escape room by guessing the riddle. If the person who enters the Riddle BOX is an ability or a domineering user, his ability will be suppressed, and the original effect may be lost or weakened. The suppression effect increases with the difference in strength between the user and the puzzler.

The existence time of the riddle BOX can be set from 15 minutes to 2 hours, and its space is a different dimensional space, completely isolated from the outside world. The people inside the riddle BOX can only survive if they solve the riddle within the specified time, otherwise they will die a tragic death and be robbed of half of their power. If the decryption is successful, as a user of the owner, it will consume ninety percent of the physical strength and fruit power, and fall into a state of extreme exhaustion. In addition, after the riddle box is set, it can be dissolved at any time, but the user cannot leave the 20-meter range, and cannot interfere with the situation inside the riddle box except for communicating through sound.

This time, the Riddler set the time to solve the riddle at 15 minutes, after all, the last time Smaer solved the riddle, although he succeeded in the end, it took nearly 20 minutes. Now, if time is urgent, coupled with Gong Ping's interference, the probability of the two people successfully escaping from the secret room is almost zero.

But despite his firm opinion, he still didn't have the bottom line in his heart, and because of the effect of the riddle box, he had to stay in the visual range of the riddle box.

What the hell is this damn clown thinking?

Is there a way for him to escape?

The Riddler was puzzled, rubbing his chin into deep thought.
