In the dark room.
Edward the Riddler. Nigma sat in front of the computer, his fanatical eyes reflecting the images on the screen. He could see every despairing and twisted face in the exhibition hall.
"You guys still have three seconds left, hehehe…"
He enjoyed the feeling that the moods of the important figures of Gotham were easily dominated by his words, and he continued counting down in a light tone.
In the exhibition hall, everyone was terrified and desperate.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"I shouldn't die here. I shouldn't die here!!”
Some of them had already started to crazily hit the walls around them like trapped beasts. Unfortunately, no matter what they did, it was useless. The thick walls seemed to be far away from heaven and hell, and they did not move at all.
At this moment, many people had already given up struggling. They stared blankly at the huge red question mark on the wall, their faces trembling and tears flowing down their faces.
"Is it over just like this?"
Harvey Dante felt as if he had become a marionette, controlled by an invisible hand. He hugged his sister Jessica and curled up in a corner as he sat on the ground. His heart was dead.
Bang!
Bang!
"Damn it! How did that guy do all of this?”
Brosnan and Gordon had already tried to break the door when Riddler continued to count down. Unfortunately, the door was firmly locked and did not budge.
The expressions on their faces became increasingly unsightly.
Looking at the current situation, not only did he fail to save her, but he even had to put his life in danger.
The cat girl frowned and looked at Chen Tian.
She always felt that the other party was out of place in the surrounding atmosphere of panic and despair. He always looked like he had victory in his hands.
"It seems that he has been like this from the beginning. No matter what happens, he doesn't feel surprised.”
To be honest, the cat girl was also panicking. However, when she saw Chen Tian's calm performance, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
"You still have two seconds left…"
The Riddler's voice from the speakers was also out of tune with the atmosphere.
The more desperate and helpless the people in the exhibition hall were, the more excited he became. Every word he said was filled with unconcealable joy.
"The last second…Good night, Gotham."
Until the last countdown sounded from the speaker.
All the resistance, unwillingness, angry roars, desperate struggles, and hoarse voices from before suddenly stopped.
A sense of powerlessness that could devour everything instantly enveloped everyone present.
Chen Tian remained standing, his eyes drooping slightly. He saw that other than himself, almost everyone else instinctively squatted down with their hands over their heads, giving up on struggling in the face of this treacherous fate.
"Whether it's the Marvel World or the World of Destiny, the fate of people without power is always in the hands of others.”
His gaze slowly swept across everyone.
In Chen Tian's opinion, the reason why those people were squatting down was not because of the bombs set up by the Riddler, but because they were weak and powerless.
" That's why I'm determined to become stronger so that I can completely dominate my own fate in this world…"
He thought expressionlessly.
In the next second.
The scene fell into a long silence.
The expected explosion did not occur, and the Riddler's voice disappeared from the speaker.
"We didn't die? Was that guy up to something again?”
The people who noticed this all stood up with puzzled expressions. They looked around blankly, their hearts still hanging tightly.
They already had a certain understanding of the Riddler hiding behind the speakers.
The other party was completely a freak who was temperamental and treated people's lives as a game for fun.
No one could guarantee that the other party had made such a big move tonight just to achieve a low and evil prank.
"Did the Riddler keep his promise?”
Bruce Wayne's eyes were filled with doubt.
Although he had only had a brief confrontation with the other party through the case and voice, and they had not even met each other.
However, with Bruce's many years of experience dealing with crime, he was certain that the Riddler was a complete lunatic and definitely would not have such good morals.
Gordon was also in disbelief at what was happening. He raised his head and looked around blankly.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Harvey, who had experienced great joy and great sorrow. Dante, on the other hand, was exhausted and didn't think too much. He comforted his sister Jessica in his arms.
At this moment.
"Zi-"
The sound of electricity came from the speakers in the hall again.
"Damn it! Who are you? Get out of my head! Get the f * ck out of my head!!”
When everyone's heart tightened and their bodies stiffened again, they heard a heart-wrenching cry.
"What's wrong with this guy? What happened?"
Everyone recognized the owner of this voice as the Riddler from earlier. They could feel that the other party was no longer as calm as before.
"Looks like that guy has encountered some problems.”
Bruce took a deep breath." We can't be sure if the bomb will explode. We have to leave this place as soon as possible.”
As his thoughts fell, he raised his leg and kicked the door in front of him again.
Gordon and the others also reacted in horror and came over to help him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of countless doors being slammed rang out one after another. Everyone was doing their best under their survival instincts.
However, no one knew.
In a dark room in the opposite building.
Edward Nygma was kneeling on the ground, clutching his hair tightly. His face was twisted, and his eyes were bulging out as he screamed in pain.
He felt an invisible force drilling into his brain, causing him unbearable pain.
At the same time.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the tightly locked door of the exhibition hall finally opened.
"The door is open!"
"Hurry up and leave! Leave this damned place!"
Seeing this, everyone in the hall abandoned all other thoughts and rushed towards the open door.
The Riddler's screams echoed in his ears.
Catgirl watched as more and more people fled the venue and felt that something was wrong. She turned around and saw Chen Tian standing in the darkness. She slowly put down two fingers from her temple.
The latter noticed her gaze and smiled at her.
After everyone else had left, Chen Tian and the others slowly walked out.
"There's a clue. My men have tracked down the source of the Riddler's signal.”
Bruce "He's in the building opposite," Wayne said.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
As soon as he received the news from Butler Alfred, he prepared to leave and run towards the Riddler's hiding place.
No matter what happened, he had to catch the Riddler. He could not let that guy go!
"Don't worry, the Riddler will come down by himself.”
Chen Tian said slowly.
“？”
Bruce and Gordon, who had just taken two steps forward, stopped and turned around when they heard that. They looked at Chen Tian with confusion in their eyes.
He didn't quite understand the meaning behind the latter's words.
Seeing the calm and confident expression on Chen Tian's face, the two of them became even more confused.
Until now, they still couldn't figure out why the Riddler had given up on detonating the bomb and screamed in pain.
It was obvious that the young man in front of him seemed to have grasped the truth of everything.
Bruce and Gordon moved their lips, wanting to say something.
However, in the next second.
Bang!
A figure fell from the building opposite and landed heavily with a muffled sound.
Bruce rushed forward and saw that the back of the other party's head had probably hit the ground. The skull behind his head had broken, and minced meat, bone splinters, blood, and brain splattered on the ground, forming a red and white flower.
He took a deep breath and wiped the corpse's face. When he saw the question mark on it, he turned to look at Chen Tian in surprise.
"He should be the Riddler."”
Chen, did you do this?"
