Chapter 121: Who Dominates the Darkness of Gotham (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
This night.
Gotham is not destined to be calm.
Wait until the sky is dark.
The fires and wails that filled every corner of Gotham City gradually subsided.
James Gordon Jr.'s eyes were bloodshot.
Staring at the red sun gradually rising in the sky.
The first thought in my heart was-
It's finally dawning on the damn day.
Almost all facilities in Gotham City are paralyzed.
Bruce Wayne was the first to make an announcement through GBC in the early morning.
"The restoration of all of Gotham City's facilities is all funded by Wayne Enterprises."
Long live the gold lord father!
After this news was reported to the whole city, hundreds of thousands of Gotham citizens instantly praised Bruce Wayne.
The ability to make money is so unpretentious and boring.
Irin hid by the sea.
Port Miller.
This side was the first to be bombed, the access to and from was blocked, and the port of Miller was deserted and seemed extraordinarily quiet.
Now the main quest 2 has been completed.
Before the release of the main quest three, it gave Irin and a few other "outsiders" enough time to breathe.
But the longer this "halfway break" is, the more calm it gives people before the storm.
It's getting more and more unnerving.
Irin didn't move on.
Now the four major districts of Gotham City are completely in chaos.
No matter how much you reduce your presence, it's hard not to notice his presence.
And it's daytime.
So after careful consideration, Irin's decision to rest and recharge his batteries.
Before the third main quest is released, adjust yourself to the best condition.
……
……
Old Gordon actually thinks ...... Something strange.
The entire city of Gotham was almost blown up.
However, the mayor's mansion where he is located, except for being affected by some aftermaths of "rail transit", is also intact.
Could it be because those "criminals from the East" are not locals and do not know the location of the mayor's mansion?
Old Gordon looked down and thought for a moment.
It seems that this is a possibility.
After all, because it's not open to tourists, it's not mentioned in the Gotham City Travel Guide at all.
"Twenty years."
Old Gordon sighed.
He didn't expect that twenty years after he became the mayor of Gotham City, he would still have the privilege of reliving the dark years of those years.
Think back then.
When the elder Gordon was still the sheriff of Gotham City, he was always silently on the rooftop of the Gotham Police Station in that long dark night, making calls in the shape of "bats" to the sky.
Then there was a menacing Batman who fell from the sky......
Thinking of the confrontation with the "legendary criminal" back then, Old Gordon's wrinkled palms couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Old friend......"
He knows.
Bruce Wayne is old.
The years are unforgiving.
Old Gordon took a drink out of the fridge.
This is a new drink that was launched not long ago, the upgraded version of Happy Fat House Water, which quickly occupied the Gotham beverage market as soon as it was listed.
I have to say, the taste is pretty good.
Drink it in one gulp, and suppress the shock.
The mood is inexplicably happy.
Old Gordon didn't notice it himself, and a drunken flush gradually appeared on his face.
"Hey, hey, hey—"
He burst out laughing.
Staggered to the elevator.
The two-storey mayor's residence, where he also installed an elevator.
Anyway, old friends have money, and it doesn't matter.
In the elevator, in addition to the "1st floor" and "2nd floor", there is also a floor "B".
What does B mean?
Actually, it's quite easy to understand.
This is a "letter" full of mysteries.
Old Gordon smiled and took the elevator down slowly.
……
……
"Dad!"
Half an hour later.
James Gordon Jr. stormed the mayor's mansion in a rage.
Eyes are red.
The expression is hideous.
He spent the whole night frantically searching for those goddamn criminals in the tattered Gotham City.
Especially the most damned "riddle gentleman", Edward Rin.
He has gone out of his way and even given up on the rescue of Gotham City.
Unleash all the forces that can be mobilized, just for a few "criminals".
But now that Gotham is in chaos, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find a few criminals who are deliberately hiding from the populous Gotham City.
The "Riddle Gentleman" seemed to have evaporated from the world, eerily disappearing from everyone in the Wayne Building.
and strangely disappeared from Gotham City completely.
No news.
GBC's morning news frantically repeated two headlines.
The first is, of course, the news that the patron's father, Bruce Wayne, funded the rebuilding of Gotham.
And the second is that the riddle gentleman magically disappears into Wayne Tower, just like a series of puzzles he has set up, which is puzzling.
The Riddle Gentleman, as the name suggests, is destined to become a puzzle that no one in Gotham City can solve.
"Dad!"
James Gordon Jr. broke into the mayor's mansion, only to find that his proud father was nowhere to be found.
Although he grew up here.
But since he took the position of "Sheriff of Gotham", he has rarely returned to this place.
There are many reasons for this.
But the most important reason is ...... Because Gotham City after Joker's death and after the group of former villains were locked up in a nursing home and retired, Gotham City's crime rate quickly dropped to 0.00 in the shortest possible time.
Plus Gordon Sr. promulgated a series of Gotham laws.
As long as the offender ...... Summarily executed.
Therefore, he, the new sheriff, actually has no sense of existence.
James Gordon Jr. didn't want to be reported by the media, and he took the position of sheriff because of Gordon Sr.
Even if it's true.
He didn't want to hear that kind of reporting.
So consciously or unconsciously, he rarely appears in public at the same time as Gordon Sr. in Gotham City.
At the very least, in the eyes of the citizens of Gotham, he is still an excellent sheriff who strives to maintain Gotham's zero crime rate.
But after those few damned criminals turned out.
Everything has changed!
Gotham Police Station explodes on the spot!
And it was blown up in front of him.
That damn riddle gentleman!
Damn Edward Rin!
Damn criminals!
Broken Voice: "Damn it—"
Finally calmed down, little James Gordon stared at the red eyes and searched around the old Gordon's house, but found no old Gordon.
"Is it upstairs?"
James Gordon Jr. chuckled in his heart.
His dad didn't answer the phone.
made him feel a little uneasy inexplicably.
Something must be wrong, right?
Suddenly.
He discovers an elaborate and luxurious elevator.
Remember that in the past, this mayor's mansion did not have an elevator.
After all, it's only two floors.
He walked into the elevator in confusion.
"1st and 2nd floors......"
Right now.
A mysterious letter caught the eye of James Gordon Jr.
That's a big B full of mystery.
James Gordon Jr. watched the "B" silently for a moment, and ten seconds later, he pressed his finger down almost in a ghostly manner.
Feel...... Nothing special.
……
……
Gotham City.
Afternoon.
Port Miller.
"Shouldn't you give us an explanation!"
Li Erpang was nibbling on fried chicken legs and glared at Yi Rin menacingly.
Not far away, Zhu Yun'er and Su Xiaosu were also standing aside.
Su Xiaosu's face was expressionless.
But Zhu Yun'er also had cold eyes.
Irin smiled: "Explain? What to explain? ”
This rhetorical question is used.
made Li Erpang stunned.
That's right.
What to explain?
Last night, Irin's appearance as a "riddle gentleman" was indeed his ability.
And the TNT bomb was also led by Li Erpang, who took the initiative to trade it with his own props.
One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer.
In the end, the "TNT bomb" in their hands did not receive the desired effect, and if you think carefully, it is no wonder that Irin.
But no matter what, there is always something wrong in the hearts of others.
There was always a sense of grievance that was played by Irin between applause.
Especially......
Now the "sin list" can still be opened.
Clicking on it casually, Irin's daimyo is far ahead on the list.
Every time I see this list, it makes Li Erpang as uncomfortable as if he has eaten "beep-".
Although he didn't eat it.
But it should feel pretty much the same.
"And—"
Irin's tone suddenly became a little colder.
He looked at Zhu Yun'er, his eyes swept over the snow-white neck, and said slowly: "I only made a deal with the fat man and Brother Su, uh, Sister Su, you?" Hehe, with all due respect, if you stare at me with such eyes, I will misunderstand that you want to go to war with me at any time. ”
Yi Rin's eyes, which gradually became cold, seemed to tell Zhu Yun'er to say-
I'm not afraid of you.
Zhu Yun'er was silent for a moment.
The killing intent gradually converged.
Now more than half of this trial has passed.
Although Irin's game of dim sum machines, the battle between the apostles was all about ability.
She's just a little upset.
"Whew-"
Zhu Yun'er suddenly raised her head with a calm expression: "What about Pan Zhengyi?" ”
"Yes!"
Li Erpang slapped his thigh: "What about the two fools?" Uncle Lao Tzu grasses! ”
He can't wait to drag Pan Zhengyi out now, and say a word in front of those two fools-
Lao Tzu has a sentence MMP, I don't know if to talk about it or not?
Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for Pan Zhengyi's inexplicable appearance in the end, their guilt would not be so pitiful.
Yi Rin looked away from Zhu Yun'er and smiled slightly.
"Unfortunately, I don't know where he is."
"Are you kidding me? You know him in real life, and you don't have any contact with him? ”
Li Erpang is actually very suspicious that Pan Zhengyi's play is due to Yi Rin's instructions.
After all, in this mission, Irin's incomparable wisdom and cunning have been shown to the entire Gotham.
Li Erpang had every reason to suspect that Yi Rin guessed the location of the bomb through various reasoning, and then revealed it to Pan Zhengyi, so that the two fools finally came to such a cosplay show.
It is also possible to have suspicious cars without evidence.
This...... No evidence is required.
Zhu Yun'er also showed a sneer of disbelief.
Yi Rin suddenly said in a very serious tone: "If I tell you that he really ran out of a mental hospital, will you believe it or not?" ”
I believe you are a ghost!
Li Erpang glared at Yi Rin.
With a murderous look on one's face.
Irin was also a little helpless.
In fact, he couldn't guess how Pan Zhengyi learned about the location of the other people's explosions.
He even secretly congratulated that the time he set in advance did not conflict with Pan Zhengyi's "show".
Otherwise, the explosion of the "Gotham Transit Rail System" is estimated to be counted on Pan Zhengyi's head at the same time.
Of course, it is not so simple for Pan Zhengyi to really grab "credit".
After all, for the name of the Riddle Gentleman, Irin has done enough foreshadowing.
As long as someone announces the answer to the riddle, it is estimated that this "crime value" will hardly fall on Pan Zhengyi's head.
Gut feeling?
Yi Rin thought about it, and he could only use this mysterious reason to explain Pan Zhengyi's actions.
It's a bit far-fetched, though.
Right now.
Including Irin.
The four Apostles, who were hiding in Port Miller in Gotham City, unanimously stopped their argument.
In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
The look is different.
Because, at the same time, the main quest is three...... Released!
……
[Riddle Gentleman, Joker, Black Goose Man, Empress, King Kong ......]
[Your "name" is gradually remembered by Gotham. 】
[Some of you may be destined to be immortalized in the history of Gotham. 】
[But, when the "new life" ushers in the "old days"......]
Who can dominate the darkness of Gotham? 】
[Main quest 3: Completely destroy Gotham's "legends of the past"!] Return after completing the main quest 3! Task failed...... Wipe it out all!! 】
You will be the new legend. 】
[Note: The "Crime List" is converted to the "Gotham Rising Stars List"......]
[Note: The final settlement will be based on the "Gotham Rising Star List".] 】
【Transforming Sins ......】
[Conversion complete.] 】
[The "Gotham Rising Star List" is now open.] 】
……
That's ...... Quite suddenly.
Regarding the task prompts that were brushed out in large pieces, Li Erpang only remembered the words "immortal".
It doesn't seem to be very lucky.
Irin silently jotted down all the words word for word.
At first glance, there should be no pitfalls.
The main theme of this trial is a little different from the Ghost Fog Mountain trial.
But......
You can't go wrong by remembering clearly.
Just in case.
……
【Gotham Rising Star List】
[Irin] 55 points
[Pan Zhengyi] 27 points
[Li Erfat] 8 points
[Zhu Yuner] 5 points
[Su Xiaosu] 3 points
……
Yi Rin's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly when he saw the transformed list.
Old?
Irin lowered the brim of his hat, silently making several guesses about this final mission.
After all, he spent a lot of time reading all the biographies of Gotham City's best-selling people.
The understanding of Gotham City is not necessarily less than that of the senior fat house Li Erfat.
"Wait!"
Zhu Yun'er saw that Yi Rin was about to leave, so she took the initiative to stop Yi Rin.
“?”
"Looks like you already have a clue about the main quest three?"
Yi Rin glanced at Li Erfat.
I saw Li Erfat with his back to the two girls, squeezing his eyebrows at Yi Rin, and the fat on his face squeezed out layers of rich wrinkles.
Of course, no matter how much his squinting eyes squeezed, he couldn't tell the change in his eyes.
"Then ......"
"I'll give you a hint."
Yi Rin directly ignored Li Erfat's crazy instructions, and smiled: "Don't forget where we came from." ”
"Arkham Nursing Home?"
Zhu Yun'er lowered her head and thought for a moment.
Li Erfat looked up to the sky and sighed.
Su Xiaosu's expression was still indifferent.
When he came back to his senses, Irin's had already walked hundreds of meters, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of several people.
……
……
Night fell silently.
Gotham is once again in a tense atmosphere.
After all, it is clear that those criminals chose to commit crimes at night.
Although during the day, the entire Gotham City did not see the "new generation of Gotham criminals" making waves.
But GBC Radio had already asked relevant experts to urgently record a special program during the day-
"The Legend of the Gentleman"
It is about the form of predicting the next riddle of the riddle gentleman, and analyzing the modus operandi of the riddle gentleman.
In short, this temporary addition of the show shrouded the entire Gotham in a strange atmosphere in advance.
I was nervous and a little expectant.
Expect the next puzzle for the riddle gentleman.
and anticipation......
In the end, the riddle gentleman will die in Gotham.
Li Erpang, Zhu Yuner, and Su Xiaosu, after a brief discussion, decided to go together.
After all, this trial, if you only look at it from the main quest, there is no too direct conflict between the apostles.
Even if it is a competition for evaluation grades, in the end, it is up to each to do his own thing, and he can't complain about anyone.
Although there is a grievance, there is always a little bit of it.
But at the end of the dungeon, it's still their own Solo, which inevitably seems a bit ironic.
As we all know, fighting bosses in a group is the king!
At Irin's prompting, the three apostles rushed across Gotham City to the nursing home as fast as they could.
Be reasonable.
When they are old and frail, they are indeed a little panicked in the face of that group of old perverts.
But now that they have regained their youthful and pink period, those old perverts come to one, kill one, come a pair, kill a pair.
"I am such an apostle of affection!"
Li Erpang patted the thick fat on his stomach and looked up to the sky and sighed.
Along.
They passed through the Upper East Side.
Just run along the banks of the Spong River and it won't take long to get back to the artificial island where the "Arkham Retirement Home" is located.
Gotham City is in shambles.
Although many citizens have seen the physical signs of the fat man and others, they are only somewhat similar to the "black goose man", "empress" and "King Kong" in media reports.
But they didn't need evidence, they just suspected it, so they directly carried a gun and killed everyone directly.
The look gradually went crazy.
The expression gradually became perverted.
"! It's war! ”
Su Xiaosu did not retreat, and directly blocked in front of everyone.
Even if no one ever mentions it, they have discovered that they have the ability to "heal" during these two days.
As long as the wound is injured, the wound will heal slowly.
Health will also be restored quickly.
Coupled with Su Xiaosu's terrifying muscular strength, he is indeed the best choice to be a tank.
As for the fat man, he plays the role of a vice-tan with peace of mind.
Hiss –
Zhu Yun'er didn't hide her strength anymore, the ancient long sword in her hand soared, and she slashed horizontally with a sword, as if even the space had been cut out of a gap, and in the blink of an eye, she and Su Xiaosu fought a bloody way in the Upper East Side of Gotham.
"No points?"
While killing, Li Erpang silently glanced at the list of "new version of the ship".
Gotham Rising Stars List.
Killing a normal "Good Citizen" does not cost any points.
Seemingly.
This final main quest is exactly what Irin's kid had speculated.
Only by killing all the "legends" of the old era can you earn points on the "Gotham Rising Star List".
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it.
At this look, the second fat brother instantly tightened the chrysanthemum.
Subconsciously shouted.
"Damn, Irin's boy again-"
Suddenly.
He wasn't done yet.
Instantly, I felt that the atmosphere around me had become a little strange.
It seems to have quieted down for some reason.
Quite suddenly.
Su Xiaosu silently stretched out his hand and stopped Li Erpang and Zhu Yun'er.
Li Erpang didn't pay attention for a while because he was looking at the list and scolding, and Duang bumped into an indescribable part of Su Xiaosu again.
Wait, why do you say again?
Li Erpang rubbed the bridge of his nose that was hurt.
Because Brother Su is tall, he completely blocked Li Erpang's sight, so that Li Erpang couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him.
But just when Su Xiaosu stopped.
A voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar came from ahead.
"Hee-hee-hee-"
"It turned out to be you~!"
“So——”
“Surprise!”
The exaggerated tone of surprise at the end made people feel a creepy feeling inexplicably after hearing it.
