Chapter 270: Someone Laughed in His Heart Again
Teska is not as powerful as Hugo Strange could imagine. In this world, He is God. This difference in perception made Hugo Strange misunderstand the purpose of Bruce Wayne's visit to Arkham Asylum.
"You...... If you want to ...... The results of my research ...... I can give it to you! ”
It took Hugo Strange a lot of effort to shout this sentence, and now his brain was starved of oxygen, and his consciousness was beginning to blur.
Tezka let go, although he said that he could find the secret of Arkham Asylum by looking slowly, but if someone could lead the way, it would save him a lot of time.
In order to secretly conduct experiments against humans, Hugo built a basement inside the Arkham Asylum, which connected all the way to the underground of a highly toxic waste treatment plant. At the beginning, for the ownership of this highly toxic treatment plant, the underworld bosses in Gotham City spent more than a dozen lives to tear it apart.
Led by Hugo Strange, Texka passes by a group of screaming madmen. These people are not on the list of criminals and appear to be simply mentally ill and have not harmed others.
Once he had passed through the "safe zone", Teska noticed that the cells on both sides had apparently become deserted, and the prisoners inside seemed much quieter.
This is probably the difference between the big guy and the trash fish.
Tezka checked the list and quickly found one of her targets. The Riddler, Edward Nygma.
According to the information on the list, this former member of the Gotham City Police Department's Forensic Division has also provided surprising assistance in many cases. This one has a very high IQ, so high that he can give others riddles to pass the time whenever and wherever he wants.
But in the end, he turned into a madman, killing people without blinking, using puzzles to trick the police, and was eventually caught by Gordon in this madhouse.
The Riddler probably does less harm to the citizens of Gotham than other supercriminals, and he prefers to play puzzle games with the cops. It's just that the police are not as smart as him most of the time, and the result is often innocent civilians who become victims.
And even if the police win, they will only end up re-shoring him in Arkham Asylum and waiting for his next escape.
Tezka walked over to the Riddler's cell and put her finger into the wire grid.
The Riddler looked at him strangely, then asked, "Bruce Wayne, how did you end up here?" Did you move in and be my neighbor? ”
"No, I'm here to see you off." Tesca said.
The Riddler is not the most vicious kind, at least not compared to the clown, he is because his IQ is too much beyond ordinary people, he can't find his suitable place in this world, and he can't find someone who can walk side by side with him, so he slowly metamorphoses.
To sum up: it's all the fault of being single.
Texka couldn't find him a match, so it was easier to kill him. But before he could do that, he needed to get the Riddler to die of his own free will.
It's weird to say, because he's already swallowed Bruce Wayne and is still a little indigestion for the time being. If the Riddler doesn't actively integrate into Texca's personality, the conflict is too great.
In that case, it doesn't mean much to just kill the Riddler.
"You're not Bruce Wayne, that billionaire wouldn't say such things? Who are you? The Riddler said with sudden interest.
His favorite thing in his life is the puzzle, and the sudden appearance of Bruce Wayne in a weird state is a pretty good puzzle.
"Don't tell me the answer yet, I'll guess. I know Hugo Strange has a monster that can be simulated by anyone. No, that's not right...... That's Hugo's monster, there's no way it's going to kill me. Because I'm still useful to him, and it doesn't take that complicated to kill me. Let me think again......"
The Riddler began to talk to himself, and Tezka, of course, did not answer the question, but said to him, "Don't you like to give people puzzles, you can live if you answer correctly, and you will die if you make a mistake." I've got a puzzle here, would you like to try it? If you answer correctly, you will live, and if you answer incorrectly, you will die. ”
"The puzzle is who you really are? It's kind of funny, but the puzzle isn't fair at all. Right and wrong are all in your control, and even if I answer correctly, you can still pay for it. ”
"You're still fair? You've been giving someone else a puzzle that isn't fair. Tesca said.
"Of course fair, I just didn't give them a chance to say no, but the answer to the question was written on it at the beginning. Therefore, right and wrong are very fair, and there is no possibility of cheating. If you answer correctly, you can live, and if you answer incorrectly, you will die. The Riddler said firmly.
The game of the Riddler has indeed maintained this fairness all along.
It's just that the puzzles he designed are too difficult, and ordinary people die for life.
"Then we also play a fair game, you don't have the right to refuse, but you can see the answer written on the puzzle."
Tezka took a coin out of his pocket, tossed it to the Riddler, and said, "You can check this coin, and if you can get the numbers of this coin side up, you win." You can try tossing this coin as many times as you like before I come back. However, if you fail to do so before I return, it will be your turn to die. ”
"It's not a puzzle at all, it's luck, and besides, you're going to lose." With a flick of the Riddler's thumb, the coin jumped more than a meter high and landed on the back of his hand, covered by his right hand.
"I've practiced this specifically, and I can do whatever I want. Don't tell Harvey Dent, I trained for him. The Riddler smiled and let go of his palm holding the coin.
However, when he saw the coin in his hand, he couldn't help but frown, because the coin was a human head facing up.
"Maybe it's just a mistake......"
Ding, the Riddler tossed the coin again, and continued steadily. However, the result is naturally the same.
"It can't be, you must have done it, I ......" The Riddler was about to ask when he found Tezka out of his cell. And the barbed wire of the cell left a clear palm print.
The Riddler chuckled in his heart, this time it seemed that the problem was really a bit big. The puzzle has begun, and now it's impossible to quit.
But this coin is so strange. No matter how much the Riddler researched, there was nothing wrong with this coin. It's not the same on both sides, the thickness is also very normal, and there is no feeling of magnetic adsorption when placed on the iron bar.
"Hehe, try this." Instead of tossing the coin this time, the Riddler put the side of the number on the back of his hand and covered it with his hand.
All that's left is to wait for Tezka to come back.
