Chapter 117: Happy Brushing Moment? (Ask for a commuter pass)
【18:45】
When James Gordon Jr. rushed to Gotham University, it took a lot of time.
After all, Gotham University is located a bit far west of Gotham City.
As he watched the great statue of his proud father being blown to pieces, James Gordon Jr. bit his lower lip, and a trace of blood slowly came out of it.
Click, click, click.
There were also many students watching and taking pictures.
By the way, post the photo to the forum.
James Gordon Jr.'s fingers twitched slightly, but in the end he didn't intervene to stop these people's actions.
Because...... It doesn't matter anymore.
"King of Gotham? Is that the 'Gordon Great'? Isn't the puzzle that follows completely pointless? And, just blowing up the 'Gordon Great' and not killing or injured anyone at all, what the hell does the damned riddle gentleman want to do? ”
"Oh, sir, take a sip?"
Another police officer next to him saw James Gordon's expression on his face, so he went to the store next door to buy a bottle of the latest released drink, which was cold and refreshing.
Little James Gordon didn't refuse, he drank it down, and as the cold liquid poured into his throat, little James Gordon felt a lot more comfortable in an instant.
That's when it happened.
James Gordon Jr.'s phone rang wildly.
- It's his father.
"Kid, that riddle ......"
Without waiting for Gordon Sr. to speak, James Gordon Jr. interrupted Gordon Sr.'s words: "Dad, I'm sorry! Let you be blown up! Ah no, let your statue be blown up! ”
Old Gordon didn't notice the language problem in James Gordon's words for a while, but his tone was a little hurried and anxious, and he hurriedly said: "No! Child, you heard me, in the riddle gentleman's puzzle...... There is more than one place where he committed his crimes! He's going to blow it up...... It's three places! Where are you now? ”
James Gordon Jr. was stunned when he heard this.
Three, three, three places?
Too, too, too frustrated, right?
After listening to old Gordon.
That's the answer to the riddle.
James Gordon Jr. interrupted the call with a heavy heart.
He looked down at the time silently...... It's too late.
"Sir? What are you laughing at? ”
The accompanying officer suddenly gave James Gordon Jr. a strange look.
"Laugh?" James Gordon Jr. rubbed his cheek vigorously: "You must be mistaken. ”
It's too late to cry at this time, how can you still laugh?
The so-called riddle, as long as the answer is explained, becomes worthless.
There's no mystery at all.
At least in James Gordon Jr.'s view, that's it.
In the latest puzzle of Gentleman Riddler, all of Gotham City, including James Gordon Jr., has fallen into a kind of misconception.
Everyone, including James Gordon Jr., thought that "once" crime was foretold and only "once" crime was committed.
But in fact, the riddle gentleman used a short puzzle to point to two times and three places.
In the puzzle -
"I will be with the next ray of sunshine", undoubtedly referring to the sunset, which is always punctual at 18:00, the sunset in Gotham City.
But at the same time, it also refers to the west, and to the west of Gotham City, the true meaning of "sea of knowledge" is "Gotham University"!
"The King of Gotham" refers to the mayor of Gotham City, James Gordon, and when put together with the previous riddle, there is no doubt that the answer is the "Gordon Statue" that has just been blown up.
The riddle follow-up, "Immediately after, shhhh
"A short sword, a long and narrow spear, the moment when the horn is issued" is reminiscent of the long and short hour hands of the bell tower!
Every hour that passes, the bell tower rings its bells.
And the horn immediately after 18:00, that is, the bell, then the time is 19:00.
The stars fall, and the beasts attack.
Point to two locations respectively –
“S· T· A· R Lab "!
"Gotham Zoo"!
"Witness the fireworks of Gotham together...... This sentence naturally means that these two locations exploded at the same time.
And the biggest hint is actually at the end of the payment.
"1,2,3" is actually the most critical puzzle-solving hint, and "Busy Riddle Gentleman" is actually a hint that the Riddle Gentleman will be very busy in this criminal operation!
After all, there are three places to bomb.
Suddenly—
James Gordon Jr.'s pupils shrank slightly.
He thought of a deeper meaning.
The reason why the riddle gentleman chose the site of the first explosion in the "Gordon Statue" is to distract the police, even if the riddle is solved after the first explosion, it will not be too late to prevent the second explosion an hour later!
This terrible and thoughtful riddle gentleman!
This damn charming riddle gentleman!
"That's right—"
Only then did he realize that even if it was too late, there was still something to be done.
But when James Gordon Jr. looked down at his watch.
Time stands still.
【19:00】。
……
……
Gotham City.
S· T· A· R-Labs.
Gotham Zoo.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Almost at the same time, exploded on the spot.
Like the fireworks of the celebration, the blazing flames lit up the gloomy sky of Gotham City and stung everyone's eyes.
It's-
It's the riddle gentleman!
GBC Radio.
The authoritative experts, including everyone, who were talking about the riddle set up by the riddle gentleman, suddenly felt a strong shock.
Everyone didn't care that the show was being broadcast live, and hurriedly leaned out of the window to take a look.
Gotham City has two separate places......
It's on fire!
It's bound to be a busy night.
Whether it's the Riddle Gentleman, or Gotham.
In the dark.
A gentleman in a tuxedo, quietly away from the crowd.
Behind it, there is a raging fire.
A real man who never looks at an explosion behind him.
The streets are chaotic, but there is also a strange madness that pervades it.
Countless citizens carried all kinds of firearms, frantically searching for criminals around the Star Lab and Gotham Zoo.
As if isolated from the rest of the world, Irin quietly shuttled from the frantic crowd to the frenzied crowd, and when the citizens of Gotham suddenly reacted, as if someone was passing by, they turned their heads to see that the graceful figure was long gone.
"Three 'crimes', three balls."
Irin took out the question mark scepter and smiled.
Then he quickly retracted the storage space and replaced it with a normal black umbrella.
In terms of forced grid, I feel that the umbrella is still high.
After all, the question mark scepter has been around for a certain number of years, and it looks a little broken.
In addition, the successful blowing up of the "Gordon Statue" not long ago has earned a lot of sin points.
[In the name of "Gentleman of Riddles", destroy the famous landmark of Gotham "Gordon the Great Man" and gain Sins +60000!] 】
[In the name of "Gentleman of Riddles", destroy S· T· A· R-Lab Gotham Branch, gain +30,000 Sins! 】
[In the name of "Gentleman of Riddles", destroy the famous Gotham attraction "Gotham Zoo" and gain Sins +40000!] 】
This brush came very quickly.
It's no wonder that Li Erpang is greedy.
"Huh?"
Irin's expression froze.
Then he closed his eyes and thought for a full two minutes.
He suddenly had an idea.
"It's time for a big ......"
Irin smiled, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the darkness.
……
……
The whole of Gotham City is in a frenzy due to the endless and charismatic crime of the "Riddle Gentleman".
Strangely, despite the fact that the Riddle Gentleman has committed many crimes, no one has said that he has seen the true face of the Riddle Gentleman.
There is also a variety of speculation on Gotham BBS.
There are even hand-drawn hand-drawn drawings of the "Riddle Gentleman" in various styles.
If Irin had the opportunity to land on Gotham BBS, he would probably be laughing and crying.
But Irin ...... It's a bit busy right now.
There's no time to be distracted.
【20:00】
Gotham City.
WXYZ Radio Channel 2 Headquarters.
A round figure sneakily hid in the woods, watching the radio station keep coming and going.
"It's a bit of a lot, huh?"
"How the hell did that kid put up a bomb in front of everyone's eyes?"
"It's so difficult, isn't it?"
A muffled, muncturing sound of food in the mouth loomed behind the grove.
Ten minutes later.
Li Erpang finished gnawing a whole fried chicken, threw the chicken bones to the ground, and after harvesting a wave of mosquito leg sin points by the way, he was ready to start acting.
He has set a detailed plan of action.
But when he came to the place of action, he found it difficult.
He moved his hands and feet slightly.
The clothes are a little tight.
No way, this is already the most fitting clothes that the store can order...... But for Li Erpang's figure, it is still a bit small.
"Ahem......"
Li Erpang brewed emotions slightly.
Silently put on a pitch-black blindfold, and he cut out two holes in the two eyes of the blindfold.
On his body, he was wearing a tightly tied black suit and a small round hat on his head.
For this shape, Li Erpang is still quite satisfied in his heart.
After all, among the various villain legends in Gotham, the one who is slightly more appropriate to his image is the stocky penguin man - Oswald Chesterfield Copote.
The name is a bit long, but it doesn't matter!
Suddenly.
Li Erpang rushed out of the grove, directly slapped the glass door of the headquarters of WXYZ Radio Station Channel 2, and then plunged into it.
"?"
"Someone trespassed on the radio station!"
At this time, although the radio station was already off work, there were still many people in the radio station.
"Kill!"
After Li Erpang broke in in a suit, many of the guards who stayed behind did not hesitate to take out their weapons, and shot a shuttle bullet at Li Erpang's back.
"Damn—"
Li Erpang felt a cold killing intent behind him, and he didn't dare to stay, completely becoming a flexible fat man, jumping up and down in the rain of bullets, moving and dodging.
In the corridor of the office building, Li Erpang went around in circles and set up TNT bombs in various corners of the first floor.
Of course, he couldn't calculate when it was appropriate to explode, so he could only use remote control to control the timing of the explosion.
Explode this thing at regular intervals...... Not for him.
One is not good, it is estimated that even his two hundred catties of fat will be confessed.
Tutu Tu –
Soon, other citizens of Gotham City also received the news that the WXYZ radio station had been invaded by "criminals", and the good citizens of Gotham City gradually moved closer to the 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 did not drop much, so he directly protected the vital point, flashed left and right, and rolled out of the radio station again.
"That damn criminal is there!"
"Chase, chase, chase!"
"Rush Rush!"
"Don't let that fat guy run away!"
“……”
Who?? Is it a dead fat man? Your whole family is dead fat!
Li Erpang ran for a while, suddenly stood up straight, and turned around.
"Wait! I have something to say! ”
This style of painting that changes really made the onlookers with guns stunned, and it was set not far from Li Erfat.
Surrounded Li Erpang.
Li Erpang raised his head with deep eyes...... Because of the squinting eyes, no one can tell the difference.
A lump of fat squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, a bit like a mysterious smile.
He opened his arms, puffed up his lung capacity, and roared in front of everyone!
"I, Second Fat Copote, Black Goose Man, King Gotham tonight!"
“?”
“??”
“???”
Gotham: "......"
No one noticed that Li Erpang was holding a small and delicate ...... in his hand Detonator!
Rumble!!
A terrible earthquake, accompanied by an astonishing heat wave, centered on the first floor of the WXYZ radio station, spread in all directions.
Thundered!
Because the bombs installed by Li Erpang were all on the first floor, and they were deliberately selected on the load-bearing beams and columns, this explosion, the upper floors continued to sink at a terrible speed, vigorously, and within a moment, the WXYZ radio station collapsed more than half, drowning in a sea of fire and dust.
[In the name of "Black Goose Man", destroy the famous Gotham radio station "WXYZ Radio Channel 2 Headquarters" and gain Sins +50000!] 】
After receiving the task prompt, Li Erpang was instantly overjoyed, and he felt that the deal with Yi Rin was really worth it.
Sure enough—
Explode! It's a man's romance!
I, the Black Goose, will blow up Gotham without a piece of armor!
Blow up the sky!
Fry Boom Boom!
Suddenly.
The good citizens of Gotham City, who reacted, suddenly stared at Li Erpang with the same weird smile.
The strange smiles on the faces of the citizens were like the same mask, revealing evil aura.
In an instant, Li Er's fat scalp was numb, and he went all the way to the chrysanthemum.
"You-"
Li Erpang didn't have time to report the name of "Black Goose Man" again.
I saw all the citizens of Gotham, and they took out the grenade from their crotch with neat movements.
"Damn, ahhh
In an instant, there was another explosion and fire, completely submerging Li Erpang's figure.
Boom Boom Boom –
……
……
【20:30】
Gotham City.
Wedgwood Museum.
At this time, it is already closed, so it is not very crowded.
Zhu Yun'er opened the "Crime List" and took a look.
Thoughtful, muttering to himself.
"That guy has no next move, it's not enough bombs...... Or does it require additional preparation? Well, the dead fat man also started to act, this score, it should be a place to blow up. ”
"Now is the best time for us to act while they don't have the next move!"
"Otherwise, even if it is blown up, it is very likely that this crime will be counted on Irin's head."
Zhu Yun'er thought of this point with Li Erpang.
After all, in Gotham City today, Irin is in the limelight.
If other people just blow up twice in obscurity, this kind of major crime is very likely to be counted on the books of the "riddle gentleman".
"Hmph...... That cunning boy, do you really think I didn't see through your tricks? ”
Zhu Yun'er smiled coldly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a little disdain.
But Zhu Yun'er had to admit deep down in her heart that Yi Rin's understanding of this main quest was indeed far superior to that of the other apostles.
That's why we are in the current situation.
Irin is way ahead.
The others find a way to chase after Irin's ass.
"No matter what, you have to think of a way to ......"
Zhu Yun'er's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Su Xiaosu silently handed over a mobile phone.
This was snatched by Su Xiaosu from other citizens, and he asked for the password convincingly.
"Good!"
Zhu Yun'er took a photo of TNT after it was uncarded, and then took one for herself and Su Xiaosu respectively.
Then quickly upload it to Gotham City BBS.
After a series of criminal incidents caused by various "criminals" tonight, at this moment, the traffic of Gotham City's BBS has reached an unprecedented high.
Almost as soon as a post was swiped, tens of thousands of views were added in one minute.
Suddenly.
An anonymous post caught the attention of all the citizens of Gotham.
"We, the 'Empress' and 'King Kong', will be blasting the Wedgwood Museum in ten minutes, so stay tuned!"
This is...... What a blatant crime trailer!
Where did this empress and King Kong come from?
Although this is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the elegant and charming riddle gentleman, a criminal is a criminal, and he must ...... Die!!
And so—
The police.
Townspeople!
All the armed forces in the vicinity, as fast as they could, converged towards the Wedgwood Museum.
Zhu Yun'er was slightly shocked in her heart.
About ten seconds after she posted, she felt a slight tremor in the ground.
It's like ...... There were countless people, walking neatly on the ground.
The shaking of the ground has reached here!
Horror Gotham!
Zhu Yun'er gradually felt that behind the madness of this city, behind the seemingly simple folk customs, it seemed to have an invisible palm, urging the emotions of the entire Gotham.
Fortunately, she didn't dare to give out a crime notice a few hours in advance like Irin did.
Irin's weird set of riddles, she can't figure it out.
So she only had ten minutes of time left for herself!
No matter how long it takes, the two of them will be overwhelmed by the surging Gotham crowds!
In the distance, Zhu Yun'er could already hear the shrill siren.
and the red and blue flashes of light, forming a long line, moving quickly in the night.
Ten minutes have come!
Zhu Yun'er and Su Xiaosu glanced at each other, didn't say anything, grabbed the detonator tightly, and began to prepare to flee along the pre-planned route.
When James Gordon Jr. was the first to arrive not far from the Wedgwood Museum.
Rumble!!
A dazzling firelight rose into the sky!
The Rustic City of Gotham...... It's been blown up again!
Bang!
James Gordon Jr. slapped him the steering wheel.
Beep sound!
……
……
It's been nearly two hours since the last operation.
Irin spent a lot of time preparing for his next operation.
He opened the "list of sins" and took a look.
Soon he closed the list of sins with a smile.
"Looks like they're starting to find a knack for scoring, too."
"Enjoyable brushing moments?"
Irin looked up and came to GBC TV again.
If it weren't for the need, Irin would have planned to blow up this "Gotham landmark" that seemed to have a high score.
"Hehe, is it really going to be that smooth?"
After Irin handed over the "courier" to the doorman, Irin lowered the brim of his hat and left with graceful steps.
Even up to this time, no one had associated this elegant noble gentleman with that "riddle gentleman".
It's just that...... Temporarily.
Irin looked up at Wayne Tower, the tallest building in all of Gotham.
Smile slightly.
From the constantly updated news broadcasts, Irin also learns that his last "riddle" was solved shortly before the explosion.
"This time ......"
Suddenly.
Gotham City.
GBC Radio once again sent out a strong city-wide broadcast!
"Headlines! Headlines! Attention all citizens! Attention all citizens! ”
'Shocked!' The Riddle Gentleman' has sent us a 'crime teaser' again! ”
"Wait, what is this...... Flash drive? Inside, inside, there's a video inside—"
