Chapter 208: Riddler, Gets Out of Gotham!



Chapter 208: Riddler, Gets Out of Gotham!

“There are other mechanisms here?” 

On the other side, after the Riddler finished speaking, Phantom Kid frowned. 

In addition to the four statues, are there other defense mechanisms that have not been activated? 

He didn’t even notice it last time. 

Not even that. After the Riddler said this, Phantom Kid still didn’t realize that there was something special hidden around. 

“Where are you looking?” 

The Riddler looked at Phantom Kid and sneered. 

“Can’t you notice such a simple mechanism? Pay attention to your feet!” 

Hearing this, Phantom Kid’s expression changed as he quickly looked down. 

At this moment, four alloy walls suddenly rose from the ground, covering Kid inside. Along him were four statues and the Riddler.

The Riddler was holding a remote control in his hand, which was obviously used to control these mechanisms. 

The height of the wall is about four meters, and it is impossible for a normal person to escape from this “cage”. 

However, Phantom Kid isn’t any normal person! 

“I know you have a lot of gadgets, and it’s easy for you to escape.” 

At this time, the Riddler laughed. 

“But you’re not going to get out of here because what you’re trying to steal is still down here.” 

The Riddler pointed to the blocked entrance in the center of the correction. 

“These walls are not there to trap you.” 

The Riddler pressed a button on the remote again. 

“Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!” 

Four beeping sounds came from inside the statue. 

The eyes of each statue were glowing red, 

A four-minute countdown was displayed. 

“What does this mean?” 

Phantom Kid looked at the Riddler and asked. 

“See these countdowns? If you want to go in, solve the riddle of each statue before the countdown ends, and when you solve all the riddles, the passage will open.” 

Riddler explained generously. 

“What if I couldn’t unlock it all before the countdown?” 

“Then I’m sorry, you’ll never have the chance to achieve your goal.” 

“Look at the two walls on the left and right, and every minute of the countdown, they move forward a certain distance until they’re close together.” 

The Riddler said with a bashful expression. 

“At that time, these poor statues will be crushed, and they are the only mechanism to open the passage. If they are crushed, the entrance of the passage will never be opened again…” 

After speaking, the Riddler began to laugh hysterically again. 

“So, you have to solve the riddle of the four statues within four minutes, take off something specified on the statue, and the passage will open automatically. If you can’t do it, your action tonight will be deemed a failure.” 

The Riddler pressed the remote control again, and at once two mechanical hands reached out from beyond the enclosure, grabbing him by the shoulders and taking him out.

At the same time, Talia and others in the underground laboratory were watching the situation on the ground through monitoring equipment. 

She naturally heard the words of the Riddler. 

After the Riddler’s modification, only the mechanisms inside the statue can open the passage smoothly, and even the people inside the passage can’t open it. 

If Kid fails, it means that Talia and the others will never get out again! 

“Is Edward Nigma trying to kill us?” 

A shadow warrior said indignantly. 

Despite knowing that the underground laboratory is still guarded by them, the Riddler actually made such an agreement with Kid. This is simply treating them as chips on the gambling table. 

“Master Ninja, should we find a way to escape from here?” 

Another shadow warrior asked Talia. 

“I’m not leaving this place.” 

Talia looked calm. 

“I already knew that Edward would design this kind of mechanism, and still came in.” 

“I must not let Kid steal the nuclear bomb, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for this.” 

“I’m sorry to drag you all down with me to die here underground…”

Seeing Talia’s determination, the shadow warriors were touched. A determined expression appeared in their eyes.

They knelt down in front of Talia and said in unison, “It is our honor to accompany you, master, in your death!” 

“May the world’s sins vanish from now on…” 

Talia’s eyes were slightly moist, but she hid them well. 

«Bane, it seems that I am indeed the one who needs to be sacrificed in the end. I hope you don’t do anything stupid and leave Gotham after today’s business is over…»

Talia secretly said in her mind. 

«However… Phantom Kid may not necessarily lose to the Riddler, so I can’t be optimistic.» 

When the figure of the Riddler disappeared, the countdown began. 

Time was running out, and Phantom Kid immediately dashed to the closest statue to him. 

That is the statue of a young noblewoman. 

Newly engraved sentences appear on the chest of the statue of the lady. 

“I can’t be bought, but I can be stolen at a glance.” 

“I am worthless to one person but invaluable to two.” 

“What am I?” 

There were only four minutes in total, which meant that Phantom Kid could not spend more than one minute on each statue. 

Three seconds had passed since he had quickly reached the statue and swept through the words.

Fifty-seven seconds left. 

Phantom Kid’s brain was racing, thinking about possible options. 

As he was thinking, his left hand subconsciously touched his ear. 

Outside the fence, the Riddler waited confidently. 

In his view, Kid has only two resolutions. 

Either get squashed by the walls or escape before being squashed. 

And these two endings only prove one thing, that is, Phantom Kid can’t solve the riddle set by the Riddler at all. 

The difference in the intelligence of both men would appear very vast. 

“I see!” 

Finally, when the countdown reached fifty-three seconds, Phantom Kid thought of the answer to the riddle. 

What cannot be bought but stolen at a glance, and which has meaning only between two people, is love! 

The only thing that can be used as a symbol of love on the statue is the ring worn on the ring finger of the lady’s left hand. 

Sure enough, when Kid took off the ring, the red light from the eyes of the lady statue turned green. 

However, the countdown will not be paused after this, because there are other statues to be dealt with. 

Without stopping, Kid made his way to the statue of the young nun, which was close to the statue of the noblewoman.

There was also an engraved riddle on the nun’s chest. 

“I am two things separated from each other and yet so closely connected that one cannot be used without affecting the other.”

“I can feel you and be felt by you even when I can’t see.”

“What am I?” 

At this moment, the deepest part of Kid’s heart just wanted to point to Nigma’s nose and shout at him, “Riddler, get out of Gotham!”
