Chapter 27: The Confused Riddler
The splitting of the eight-point light wheel plus telekinesis tracking, even among the new Ultra warriors who graduated from the Academy of Light, it is a stunt-level operation, and there are very few people who can perform this kind of gorgeous operation in the entire class.
Shen You was very happy to find that his treasure knife was not old, and the Ultra cutting technique that he had practiced hard at the beginning was not returned to the teacher with the crossing.
It is still a bit difficult to divide the light wheel into five, not to mention that you have to manipulate them to pursue five targets in different directions at the same time. And if it is a normal battle of ultra warriors, the targets locked are often monsters with huge sizes, like this time, the five demon spirits are about the size of humanoids, and the accuracy requirements for tracking and locking are much higher.
Even Shen You himself couldn't help but give himself a ninety score in his heart.
After a single blow, he swept his gaze casually. After the transformation state, Ott's vision was stronger than that of the human body, and he quickly locked on to a long-abandoned haunted house in the amusement park with a random sweep, and found several figures in it through the walls.
That's a couple of kids.
Locked in a cage in the depths of a haunted house, the oldest was no more than eight or nine years old, all of them with gray faces, pitiful looks, and tears on their faces.
These demons actually caught children?
Shen You quickly thought that the bat demon spirit who possessed Maroni last time also had a similar record, so this kind of low-limit behavior was not surprising. It can only be said that this group of demon monsters is really not a pity to die.
With a punch, the punch power of Ultraman's form directly penetrated the layers of obstacles and blasted into the place where the children were being held. A few children in the cage raised their heads and looked at the giants outside through the hole that had been blasted out, and they couldn't help but open their mouths wide one by one, and their young hearts were deeply shocked.
...
...
Outside the playground, not far from the building.
A strange man in a green suit and a green yarmulke hat sat arrogantly in a chair with his legs crossed and his back to the window. A green blindfold obscured his cheekbones, and he carried a strange cane with a peculiar question mark on the tip.
Edward Nigmar, codenamed Riddler. A high-IQ super-criminal obsessed with riddles, he has been battling wits with rookie Batman for the past week, and is also the first madman to encounter the rookie master.
"It's moving forward all the time, and it's caught in the middle. Put me back on my own turf and I'll make it even more messy. The Riddler smiled and shook his cane, "Who am I?" ”
"We don't have time for you to play a guessing game, Nygma."
It was Sal Maroni, the underworld tycoon, one of the city's de facto rulers. He was followed by several younger brothers, scattered around the Riddler.
The Riddler glanced at them and smiled.
"Batman, huh? You want Batman, that's why you're here. ”
"You're knowingly asking." Maroni said coldly, "That bat-pretending madman has caused me a great loss in the past month. He took my men, took my stronghold, and intercepted my goods......
...... If he thought he would be able to get away with all this after doing this, then obviously he didn't recognize what Gotham was. ”
"yes, yes, that's why we're in the same boat. Because we all hate bats. "Riddles are humane.
Maroni's face was expressionless: "You said you could get Batman tonight." But as far as I can see, you're just sitting here and playing around with your boring riddles. ”
"That's because you're too sluggish to keep up with the rhythm, and I'm already on the move. Otherwise, why do you think I called you here to meet? ”
The Riddler laughed.
"That riddle just now, that's the hint."
Maroney frowned, clearly not understanding what that meant. He looked at the younger brother beside him, and the muscular men were obviously not likely to guess the answer.
"The answer is electricity, geniuses." The Riddler chuckled, "The haunted house in the playground, I locked up all the kids, and left clues for the Dark Knight - of course he'll be able to decipher the puzzle and find it, because he's smart, almost as smart as I am."
But I've studied his mode of action. I had electricity running behind all the skylights, vents, and gates that he could enter, which was definitely enough for him to eat a pot of high-voltage electricity. ”
Maroni groaned.
"My people say he's very tough." "I'm not sure if High Voltage can take him down." ”
"It was just an appetizer, and I had more surprises in it for him. To save the child, he'd have to go through all the death traps I've set up - and that's definitely not a level that any human has ever had a chance to get through. Even Batman, he doesn't have the slightest chance to ......"
However, the Riddler, who was facing away from the window, did not see it, and just as he was excitedly speaking, an incandescent light flashed outside the window, and the playground in the darkness was instantly illuminated. The sacred pillar of light soared into the night, and the red and silver giants rose into the sky.
Maroni and the younger brothers were stunned for a while, and they couldn't help but open their mouths wide and their heads were full of question marks.
Unbeknownst to him, the Riddler was still immersed in his brilliant plan: "Today is the time for the Dark Knight to fall." But he's barely a match for me, and I'll miss him. But this haunted house will be his burial place......"
A little brother was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point out the window: "What did you say...... It can't be the haunted house, right? ”
"Huh? It's not nonsense, what else can there be......
...... WTF!? ”
The Riddler, who had followed his finger and turned his head, jumped up from his chair in an instant.
He was stunned to see the red and silver giant pierce the ceiling of the haunted house with a single fist, completely ignoring all the traps he had carefully set up, and snatched out several hostage children with a single blow like a chicken.
He suspected that the giant might not even have sensed the existence of the so-called "deadly" high-voltage current.
For the first time in his life, the Riddler was at a loss.
What is this?
Have you been punished by God for doing many evils?
Until the giant's whole body was surrounded by white rays and his body dissipated into points of light, the Riddler was still confused by his deep doubts about life.
Who am I? Where am I? Who am I going to do?
Is this really the opponent I should be up against?
...
...
"This must be a trap, young master."
Alfred's voice came from the Batmobile's communication system.
"A trap is not a trap when you know it's a trap, it's a head-to-head fight." Batman stepped on the gas pedal and said indifferently.
"Have you forgotten our previous conversation? You don't have to be alone...... You can leave a message to GCPD, or if you don't trust them, at least contact Director Gordon!
The Riddler must have laid a net waiting for you, and going to the playground alone is tantamount to death......"
"I've arrived."
Batman still ignored it, stopped the car and said to himself. The Batmobile's sliding door opens, and he rolls over and jumps out.
He fearlessly walked to the playground in the darkness, his pitch-black cloak fluttering in the wind, like a knight who looked at death as if he were at home.
A minute later, Batman stopped in front of the haunted house with its roof pierced and half empty.
He double-checked the deciphered clues, and was sure that he was in the wrong place.
Then a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
What about people?
