Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 209 The Riddler Gets Out of Gotham!
"There are other institutions here?"

On the other side, Kaitou Kidd frowned after the Riddler finished speaking.

Apart from the four statues, are there other defensive organs that have not been activated?
He didn't notice it last time.

No, even after the Riddler said these things, Kaitou Kidd still didn't find any terrible mechanisms hidden around him.

"Where are you looking?"

The Riddler looked at Kaitou Kidd with a sarcasm on his face.

"Can't you see such a simple arrangement? Pay attention to your feet!"

Hearing this, Kaitou Kidd's expression changed, and he looked down.

At this moment, four alloy walls suddenly rose from the ground, covering Kidd inside.

There are also four statues and the Riddler.

I saw the Riddler holding a remote control in his hand, which was obviously used to control these organs.

The height of the wall is about four meters, and it is absolutely impossible for normal people to escape from this "cage".

However, how could Kaito Kidd be a normal person?

"I know you have a lot of gadgets, and it's easy to escape."

At this moment, the Riddler laughed.

"But you won't go out from here, because what you want to steal is still down here."

The Riddler pointed to the sealed entrance to the Correction Center.

"These walls aren't there to trap you either."

I saw the Riddler press a button on the remote control again.

"Drip! Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Four beeping sounds came from inside the statue.

I saw that the eyes of each statue glowed red, showing a 4-minute countdown.

"What does it mean?"

Phantom Thief Kidd looked at the Riddler and asked.

"See these countdowns? If you want to go in, you have to solve the riddles of each statue before the countdown ends. When you solve all the riddles, the passage will open."

The Riddler explained generously.

"What if you don't unlock them all before the countdown?"

"Then I'm sorry, you will forever lose the chance to steal your target."

"Look at the two walls on the left and right. Every minute of the countdown, they will move forward for a certain distance until they are tightly attached."

The Riddler said with a beating 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 no longer be opened..."

After speaking, the Riddler began to laugh nervously again.

"So, you have to solve the riddle of the four statues within 4 minutes, remove something designated on the statue, and the passage will automatically open. If you can't do it, your operation tonight will fail."

The Riddler pressed the remote control again, and immediately stretched out two mechanical hands from outside the wall, grabbed his shoulders and took him out.

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

Naturally, he also heard the words of the Riddler.

After the transformation of the Riddler, only the mechanism inside the statue can open the passage smoothly, and even the people inside the passage cannot open it.

If Kidd fails, it means that Thalia and the others can no longer get out!
"Is Edward Nygma trying to kill us?"

A Shadow Warrior said indignantly.

Knowing that they were still guarding the underground laboratory, the Riddler actually made such an agreement with Kidd, simply treating them as chips on the gambling table.

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

Another shadow warrior asked Thalia.

"I'm not leaving here."

Thalia said calmly.

"I knew that Edward would design this kind of mechanism a long time ago. Even if I knew, I would still come in."

"Kidd must not be allowed to steal the nuclear bomb, for which I am willing to sacrifice my life."

"I'm sorry for causing you to die alone underground with me..."

Seeing Thalia's determination, the Shadow Warriors couldn't help but be moved.

They knelt down in front of Talia and said in unison: "It is our honor to die with the contemporary ninja masters, we are not alone!"

"May the evil in the world disappear..."

Thalia's eyes were slightly wet, but she hid it well.

"Bain, it seems that I am the one who needs to be sacrificed in the end. I hope you don't do stupid things, and leave Gotham after today's business is over..."

Thalia thought inwardly.

"However... Phantom Thief Kidd may not lose to the Riddler, so we can't be optimistic."

The moment the figure of the Riddler disappeared from the wall, the countdown began.

Time was running out, Kaitou Kidd immediately dodged to the statue closest to him.

That is, the statue of a noble young woman.

I saw a new sentence engraved on the chest of the lady statue.

"I can't be bought, but I can be stolen at a glance."

"I'm worthless to one, but priceless to two."

"What am I?"

There are only 4 minutes in total, which means that Kaito Kidd cannot spend more than 1 minute on each statue.

After quickly arriving in front of the statue and scanning these few words, three seconds have passed.

57 seconds left.

Kaitou Kidd's brain was running fast, thinking about possible options.

While he was thinking, his left hand subconsciously stuck to his ear.

Outside the wall, the Riddler waited confidently.

In his opinion, there are only two endings for Kidd.

Either be crushed by the wall, or escape before being crushed.

And these two endings only prove one thing, that is, the Kaitou Kidd can't solve the riddle set by the Riddler.

There is a huge difference in intelligence between the two.

"I see!"

Finally, when the countdown reached three seconds, Kaitou Kidd thought of the answer to the riddle.

What cannot be bribed but is stolen at a glance, and has meaning only between two people, that is - love!
As for the symbol of love on the statue, naturally only the ring worn on the ring finger of the lady's left hand.

Sure enough, when Kidd took off the ring, the red light from the lady's statue's eyes turned green.

The countdown doesn't stop for that, however, as there are other statues to crack.

Without stopping, Kidd came to the statue of the young nun that was closely connected to the statue of the lady.

There is also a riddle engraved on the nun's chest.

"I am two things that are separate but closely related to each other. One cannot affect the other."

"Feel you even if you can't see, and be felt by you."

"What am I?"

At this moment, Kaito Kidd just wanted to point to Nygma's nose and shout at him: "Riddler get out of Gotham!"
