Chapter 57: Shooting Tank

Gotham, Catacombs.

The dark and damp environment is filled with an eerie atmosphere like death. The faint lights cast dim, blurry shadows that lit up the moss and moss that crawled on the walls.

A faint mist filled the tomb, and the Riddler stood at the end of the tunnel. Batman was on the other side of the fog, and in front of him was a neatly paved floor tile, and the green bricks lined up a huge "? ”。

Batman found him. But the Riddler says this is just the beginning of the game.

The facility has been transformed by the Riddler and is connected to the Gotham power grid. Batman must follow his rules, following the bricks that are put together as question marks, taking only one step forward at a time.

Each brick is linked to a death trap, and the only way to advance without triggering the trap is to follow the rules of his game. The Riddler will ask him questions, and if he doesn't answer a puzzle correctly, Batman will be able to take a step forward.

By answering all the questions correctly, he will be able to disarm all the death traps, and the Riddler will willingly give up his resistance and be captured.

But if you break the rules, all death traps will activate instantly, and the entire Gotham power grid will be instantly paralyzed without warning. The damage done to cities is incalculable.

"Ha, that's right, you can take it one step further."

The Riddler waved his cane and said triumphantly.

"You've got the third question right. You're smart indeed, Batman, and I'm starting to be more and more reluctant to let this game end......"

"Shut up and ask, Riddler."

Batman took a step forward, and a green brick sank under his boot.

"Okay, okay, obey. Let's have fun. ”

The Riddler removed his top hat with the question mark and hung it on his cane, turning it around with his cane.

"The next question ...... 'My biggest strength is that I know my worth. I hugged myself tightly every time I was born. ’

So Batman, who am I? ”

Batman stared at him with a blank face.

"A sword." He said indifferently.

The Riddler looked delighted.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong! Ha, you're finally wrong. The Riddler raised his hands, happy as a two-hundred-pound child, "The answer is that the 'knot' is the famous unsolved puzzle 'Goldium' in history!"

It was a rope that no one could untie, not even Alexander the Great......

...... Hey, wait, what are you going to do!? ”

He was stunned to see Batman ignore his trap and stride forward. Bricks sank one by one under his feet.

The Riddler's eyes widened: "You...... My Trap...... How so? ”

It was clear that he had won, and Batman had guessed wrong. Now the death trap should have been activated, and Batman has died on the spot.

But he just walked up as if the Riddler's trap didn't exist...... No, it should be said that it does not exist. None of the traps he devised were activated.

"Like I said, the answer is 'sword'. Just ten seconds ago, your system was hacked by me, and all your gadgets are useless. ”

Batman walked up to him and lifted the Riddler by the collar.

"You're right, even Alexander couldn't untie the knot of Goldium. So the Emperor drew his sword......"

Batman punches a powerful uppercut to the Riddler's face, causing him to crack his cheeks and spat blood.

“...... A sword split the knot. ”

The Riddler fell to the ground with a bloody mouth and a drowsy buzzing head. But he still laughed: "So you guessed the mystery just now." Impressive, Batman.

Although I admire it, you still cheat. If you break the rules, you will be punished.

I've been fighting for so long, and I know you somewhat, so I guess you probably won't follow the rules. So this time I deliberately kept a hand......"

He sat down on the ground and snapped his fingers leisurely.

"Come out, my dark friends, and punish this cheater!"

Batman's nerves tensed.

He had already encountered the supernatural in his previous operations, and knew that Gotham had demons possessing criminals. Now this posture looks familiar with that time.

He held his breath and prepared, with all his vigilance to watch out of the ghosts that swooped out from every darkness in all directions......

...... And then nothing happened.

The Riddler kept his fingers snapped for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The Riddler groaned.

It must be that I opened it the wrong way.

So he changed his position, changed his hand and snapped his fingers.

He didn't think he had done well just now, so he did it again.

"Appear, dark spirit!"

Quiescence.

A cold wind blew into the tomb from nowhere, bringing a biting chill and a subtle embarrassment.

The demon you are calling is not in the service area. JPG。

Batman's eyes on the Riddler were even more strange.

As if they were considering adding a pen to the Riddler's file, the mental problems of this item seem to be moving in a conjectural direction......

The Riddler sighed faintly: "Harm, sure enough, I said that people still have to rely on themselves." The devil is really unreliable, and he has no integrity at all......"

Batman stepped forward and punched him again, this time cracking the bridge of his nose, and the Riddler's nose bleeded.

But he was still grinning, and he didn't seem to be at all annoyed by the beating. He was pinned to the ground by Batman, and at the same time laughed, "That's it, anyway, I didn't expect those weird things to be able to count on."

Fortunately, I still have a hand, the last move, a reversal trump card......"

Rumble!!!

Explosions.

Like thunder, it sounded above the confined space, and the entire underground space began to vibrate violently. The cracks began to spread on the boulder at the top, and the tomb seemed to be crumbling.

"What did you do!?"

Batman lifted the Riddler hard and pressed him against the wall.

"I had already guessed that you were cheating, so I prepared for it in advance." The Riddler smiled, "And the punishment for cheating is...... Gotham is about to play 'Shooting Tank'. ”

Batman's pupils shrank.

He knows the "shooting tank", a mini-game. A person sits directly above the water tank, and there is a switch under the seat that connects directly to the target next to it. When the player hits the target, the person on the tank falls into the water and gets soaked.

The player used in the Riddler's description for the "Shooting Tank" is Gotham City.

The Riddler grinned, revealing a blood-drenched grin.

"I just blew up Gotham's most critical retaining wall. Now, the city is about to integrate into the Atlantic Ocean. ”
