Chapter 120: The Laurels of the Old King of Darkness (Subscription Requested)
Maybe it's because of the banknote capacity.
Or maybe it's because of the deep love that the citizens of Gotham have for Bruce Wayne.
Or maybe it's because of Bruce Wayne's unconcealable personality.
In short, when Irin and the legendary Bruce Wayne sat face to face, all the helicopters stopped attacking and allowed the two to talk at the top of the rooftop of the Wayne Building.
The style of painting suddenly became harmonious.
Beams of light gathered on the two of them.
"Damn! What do I see? ”
"Who the hell is the Riddle Gentleman?"
"Bruce Wayne is actually drinking red wine with the Riddle Gentleman?!"
"Oh my God, I think today must be the second April Fool's Day."
Luckily, Irin couldn't hear the souring translation in the communication channel.
It can only be said.
The gold lord's father is awesome.
Irin smiled at Bruce Wayne, poured himself another half glass of red wine, and shook it.
"Didn't you guess?"
Bruce Wayne nodded: "The long river of the void, everywhere, everywhere, refers to the rail transit system all over Gotham City...... Take off the laurels of the old kings...... Hehe. ”
Old Bruce chuckled, his tone paused, and he didn't continue to dwell on this puzzle, and then he frowned, revealing a little puzzlement: "It's just that the time of the crime, how is it hidden in the puzzle?" IMHO, the first half of your riddle...... It seems to me more like useless nonsense. ”
"That's right, it's nonsense."
Irin generously admitted, his expression not embarrassed.
“?”
Bruce Wayne was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right, the bunch of content in front of the riddle is all nonsense that has nothing to do with decryption, and the puzzle that hides the real usefulness of 'Crime Time' is actually only one sentence ......"
"Break the gap between reality and illusion."
Irin smiled, then reached out and gently pointed to the Patek Trili watch on his wrist.
Of course, Irin doesn't mean to show off his wealth at the moment.
I guess Bruce Wayne wouldn't think Irin meant this.
No one can flaunt their wealth in front of him.
This kind of watch, he vaguely remembers that there is a box in the utility room, but he is too lazy to take it out and match it.
And what Bruce Wayne noticed was ......
Watch Hands...... There was no movement at all.
Freeze at 00:00!
He suddenly remembered that it was in the video.
At the beginning, and at the end of the gentlemanly bow, Irin seemed to inadvertently point his watch at the camera.
This...... It turns out to be the biggest hint!
More than two minutes of video, the watch time has not changed at all.
That's the puzzle of time to commit crimes!
It's no wonder that Irin chose to post puzzles in the form of videos!
It's no wonder that Irin says a lot of incomprehensible nonsense in front of the puzzle!
I see!
I see!
Bruce Wayne suddenly realized at Irin's prompting.
And, about the phrase "gentlemen will descend in the center of the fireworks".
As long as you connect all the bombed locations in Irin and are in the middle of the line, it will be ...... Wayne Building!
Puzzle ...... Unraveled!
The answer to this riddle that obsessed the whole of Gotham is so simple!
But again...... Full of mysteries!
"Hahaha-"
Bruce Wayne laughed happily.
Interesting!
Interesting!
Interesting!
He didn't expect the answer to be so simple, but it fooled the entire Gotham, including himself...... The once wise and brave Batman, Bruce Wayne!
"I lost!"
Bruce Wayne looked happy and drank the red wine in his glass.
It's exhilarating.
It's a duel that no one knows about.
A duel that spans the plane, crosses time and space, and gathers because of the fate of the "tower", the intellectual duel of the two wise men!
Bruce Wayne frankly admits that he has lost!
Defeated on the intelligence of which he was most proud.
What Bruce Wayne has always been proud of is the ability to make money?
Or is it all sorts of equipment?
Or is it the martial arts that have reached the pinnacle?
Or is it the unstoppable charm?
Nope-
Actually...... O wisdom!
"Whew-"
Bruce Wayne put down his empty wine glass.
Silently.
He stood up with a smile on his face and twisted his neck.
Click.
After all, it's old.
"Next...... Take off the laurels that the darkness of yesteryear has been watching? I'd like to see for myself the methods of Edward Rin, the 'Riddle Gentleman'. ”
Irin lowered his head.
It's about the same time.
If it drags on any longer, it is estimated that James Gordon, who was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, will use even more crazy means.
In this Gotham, the atmosphere has gradually gone wrong.
If it weren't for the completion of the main quest 2 and striving for a higher evaluation, Irin would not have been in the limelight and in the spotlight.
All...... It's all planned.
The only one in this plan who is beyond Rin's calculations is Pan Zhengyi.
HE DIDN'T EXPECT PAN ZHENGYI TO COME TO A PUBLIC COSPLAY SHOW INEXPLICABLY AND SNATCH OTHER PEOPLE'S POINTS AWAY.
It's ...... Be all abroad.
But the brain hole of neuropathy really can't be theorized by ordinary people.
Maybe...... Is that guy's intuition?
But—
It doesn't affect the big picture.
Before trading with the other Apostles, Irin roughly calculated how much Sins they could gain from the TNT bombs in their hands.
Of course, in case Li Erpang or someone else fails, and doesn't cause the explosion of other buildings as Irin planned, Irin will also have a backhand.
He glanced at Bruce Wayne silently.
That look was like looking at a lump of rich points.
"Huh."
Irin smiled slightly, and also stood up, lowering the brim of his hat.
Bruce Wayne has set his stance.
A sense of "I could play all day".
Irin suddenly held out two fingers.
Bruce Wayne: "! ”
Gotham: "! ”
The Riddle Gentleman is now the focus of the entire Gotham.
Even as early as when I-Rin was drinking and chatting with the richest man Bruce Wayne, there were also media private helicopters, hiding far behind the tactical helicopters, and carried out live broadcast and long-distance filming on the rooftop of the Wayne Building for the first time.
The paparazzi in Gotham City are not in vain.
"This is GBC, this is GBC, I'm your favorite hot Didi, dear!"
"Because the Gotham Gazette and WXYZ radio station have been bombed, they have all been bombed, and now the legendary criminal will be exclusively reported by our GBC, exclusively reported!"
"Look! What is that! The riddle gentleman raised two fingers! Two fingers! Oh my God, is he going to make an early declaration of victory to the richest man, Mr. Bruce Wayne? ”
"Nope! No! No! The riddle gentleman pressed down a finger! He pressed - pressed - pressed down a finger! ”
Broken Sound –
Rumble!
At the moment when Ihan pressed down a finger.
The unmanned "B78" tactical helicopter, which had been hovering above the Wayne Building, suddenly exploded in the air.
Without warning!
Exploded! Exploded!
Gotham, which has been bombed for a round, is now starting to blow up again!
It was a moment when everyone, including Bruce Wayne, drew their attention to the brilliant fireworks from the explosion of the helicopter above.
Even if it's just for a moment.
That would be enough for Irin to make the next move.
Driven by the power of telekinesis, he took the last [TNT Bomb Card], flicked his wrist, and flew out at an angle that no one noticed.
The card was too small, the spotlight was too bright, and the fireworks overhead, with the cooperation of all factors, Irin didn't even notice Bruce Wayne, who was a few steps away, at the first time.
Rumble!
Another explosion!
Pick up two...... There are no three in a row!
This is the last bomb Irin holds!
It was also the ...... of this night of passion full of explosions End!
The last Gotham fireworks.
Completely light up Gotham's former glory!
When everyone heard the explosion, they all clamped their legs tightly and tightened.
It's too much, too much, too exciting!
Exploded again!
Exploded again!
This time, it was bombed, and it turned out to be-
The "W" sign at Wayne Tower!
It was a symbol of Wayne Tower, and no one could take it off even in the past when Gotham villains were rampant twenty years ago...... A symbol of the richest man in Gotham!
Suddenly.
Bruce Wayne turned his head.
The pupils shrank slightly.
The Riddle Gentleman, by Edward Rin...... Gone!
That's it...... Disappeared into front of him, Bruce Wayne.
"When?"
Bruce Wayne was distracted by the explosion for less than two seconds.
He felt a tremor from the entire Wayne Building.
Soon, billowing smoke from the place of the explosion flew into the sky.
Throughout the Wayne Building, fire alarm bells rang wildly.
But Bruce Wayne doesn't care.
The edifice is so sturdy that it won't collapse after one or two blows.
As for repairs?
It's not expensive anyway.
"The laurels of the old kings? Was that what it meant to be? ”
Bruce Wayne suddenly understood, and his smile froze.
It's just that.
What he didn't know was.
In Irin's Plan B, if the other people's crimes are not worth enough, this "crown of the old king" refers to his own head.
This is called ...... A pun intended.
Gotham City.
James Gordon Jr. was standing right in front of the Wayne Building.
He witnessed that the glowing "W" sign was blown to pieces in an instant.
Boom, boom.
Signboard debris, glass, reinforced concrete, and helicopter wreckage falling from the sky, countless debris have fallen from the sky.
But now the whole of Gotham has been plowed by various explosions, and it has long been unrecognizable and chaotic.
The explosion from the Wayne Mansion was nothing more than the icing on the cake.
Just as Irin detonates the last "TNT bomb", blowing up the "W" sign above the Wayne Building.
A line of text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
[In the name of "Riddle Gentleman", destroy "Gotham City's richest man, Bruce Wayne, the signboard of Wayne Building", and gain Sins +80000!] 】
[Main quest 2: Restore Gotham City to its former glory!] Mission accomplished! 】
[Rewards will now be distributed according to the ranking of the 'Sin List'!] 】
“……”
There was a slight pause in the text.
System stuck?
Impossible, right?
Three seconds later.
The quest reward has finally come out after a long time, and thousands of trees and pear blossoms ...... Uh, no, the quest rewards are rolling in.
[Reward: Clearance Evaluation Level +1!] 】
“!”
Is there such a reward?
Irin muttered in midair for a moment.
Something doesn't feel right.
The rewards for these two main quests......
It seems that they are all settled after customs clearance?
Other words...... If you don't get out of the trial alive, then you don't have to cash in on this reward?
What's the difference between this and a bad check?
……
And almost at the same time.
In Gotham City.
Whether it's jumping in chickens, flying dogs.
It's still a rat with a head.
Still hehehe, giggling.
Or silently flexing their muscles.
In front of all the Apostles, a hint of "Main Mission 2 has been completed" appeared.
It's just that it's not known what kind of reward each person will be.
"That's it? Finished? That's it? ”
Li Erpang slapped the crowd in front of him into a gap, many bullet holes on his body were gurgling and bleeding, and the 'black goose man' uniform was already full of holes, leaving only a pants in the shape of pants, which just covered the shame, and finally did not have to fall to the pitiful point of running naked.
At this time, after receiving the message that the task prompt was completed, Li Erpang opened the "Sin List" while running.
……
【Crime List】
Gotham Guilt: 1000000/1000000 (100.00%)
【Irin】557771 (55.78%)
【Pan Zhengyi】270255 (27.03%)
【Li Erpang】83216(8.32%)
【Zhu Yuner】54432(5.44%)
【Su Xiaosu】34326 (3.43%)
……
“!”
Mourning, mourning, mourning!
The sin is monstrous!
This is a violation of heaven!
But that's about it.
Li Erpang was very sad.
He clearly remembered that before Pan Zhengyi's two fools acted, the sin value was also 255.
This round of pretending to be forced down, and the sin value rose neatly by 27W.
What does this mean?
IT SHOWS THAT PAN ZHENGYI DIDN'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN THOSE TWO COSPLAY SHOWS.
soared directly to the second place on the crime list!
Become the second in Gotham Crime Stars!
Li Erpang is simply jealous of his real name.
Hate?
It seems to be a bit of a point.
In short, not a taste.
……
……
And back over the Wayne Tower.
Whether it's a combat helicopter, or a media helicopter.
They all witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
After the explosion, at the top of Wayne Tower, there was no trace of Edward Rin, the riddle gentleman!
James Gordon, who was in charge of everything, was stunned for two seconds after receiving this information, but in an instant, he also reacted!
He remembered the scene in the bell tower.
I remembered the scene when the riddle gentleman descended from the sky.
He got it!
He came to his senses!
There is only one truth!
"The riddle gentleman can fly! Attention, everyone, spread out the spotlights and find that damn criminal near Wayne Tower! ”
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Roger!"
All helicopters received instructions from James Gordon Jr. almost at the same time.
In an instant, all the spotlight beams moved away from the rooftop of Wayne Tower.
Searching for the heinous criminal's figure.
After a few seconds.
"Found it!"
"On the west side of Wayne Tower! About 40 floors! It's the umbrella that the 'Riddle Gentleman' used to land! ”
Woooo
All the beams converged.
"Shoot! Kill! ”
James Gordon Jr. heard the great news coming from the channel, and did not hesitate to wave his hand.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Let the blood of the riddle gentleman bloom in the skies of Gotham!
Don't you kill this kind of person and keep it for Christmas?
Tutu Tutu –
The combat helicopters that surrounded the circle opened fire one after another, directly shooting the black umbrella into a sieve.
No umbrella can survive this kind of vitality.
Wait a minute......
Umbrella?
What about people?
After the passion, ah no, after the strafing, all the pilots on the helicopter were stunned.
"Go, Go, Go-"
James Gordon Jr.: "? ”
Overly excited?
"Sheriff Gordon, there's only umbrellas there, no one!"
"The Riddle Gentleman, Edward Rin, has disappeared again!"
“!”
Gotham: "! ”
Syllable.
James Gordon Jr. slammed his police hat on the ground again.
Crackling.
By the way, a few strands of blonde hair were also brought out.
……
……
While others pondered the ranking of the guilty list.
Before James Gordon Jr. lost his hair.
Before the helicopter strafed the umbrella.
Irin said he was a little busy.
After diverting everyone's attention with two explosions in succession, Yi Rin took advantage of the fact that the effect of the two "magical little buffs" had not passed, so he directly turned on the "Shadow Companion" and silently lurked in the dark.
The sense of presence dropped by 100%, and at that moment, even Bruce Wayne didn't notice when Irin disappeared from front of him.
It's just a moment.
Irin's grasp of the timing of skills has almost reached the point of perfection.
But—
Now Irin's still in mid-air.
In fact, everyone doesn't know that he landed with an umbrella, which is nothing more than a gimmick and a cover-up.
The black umbrella in his hand...... In fact, it's really just an ordinary umbrella.
And nothing else special.
Certainly not a "mediocre" series.
Irin is nothing more than creating an illusion for everyone that the riddle gentleman has landed with an "umbrella"!
To be precise, the illusion that a "riddle gentleman had to land with an umbrella".
The truth is that the black umbrella is useless except for improving the level.
Irin landed layer by layer.
Empty handed.
There are no umbrellas.
In the darkness, Irin's silent release of the "telekinetic" tentacles, "pulling" his body towards the wall.
Originally, in the case of a normal fall, with the strength of his current "telekinetic power", this was basically an impossible operation to complete.
But in this kind of slow landing, it is easy to do.
Irin stuck to a certain floor.
Blood Jasmine stabbed the glass, and in the next two seconds, Irin disappeared outside the Wayne Building.
"Yo, sure enough, I knew that with the richest man in the billions of people, he would definitely not let the Wayne Building lose power."
Irin patted the dust off her body.
The pure black tuxedo was spotless.
Lower the brim.
Irin silently took the elevator.
Three minutes later.
Little James Gordon, who was losing his hair, did not notice that a gentleman as elegant as an aristocratic man swaggered out of the main entrance of Wayne Building.
In the blink of an eye, it melted into the darkness and disappeared.
At night, it is the world of gentlemen.
……
……
Zi –
Dr. Jack silently turned off the TV.
Well.
A special show on television that is officially aired by Gotham's only GBC broadcaster.
"Gentleman of Riddles" special.
And it's live.
Dr. Jack smiled.
He sat in his office, subconsciously reaching out to get something out.
"Oh-I almost forgot, there is no need for a key here."
Dr. Jack pulled open the drawer.
The position of the lock, there is a small hole.
If Irin saw this scene, he would definitely be familiar with it.
Because this hole was dug by his own hands.
Impressed.
Dr. Jack's expression didn't change.
He carefully removed the mess of clutter in the drawer, mirrors, makeup, lipstick, notes, small notebooks, and the like.
And in the innermost part of the drawer.
I don't know when I started to hide a small box.
Dr. Jack rubbed the box silently.
Suddenly sighed.
"Those old guys, they need further treatment too......"
