[Comprehensive British and American] The richest man in the super British world

"Can't get out, can't get in, ask, what is this?"

Wade could barely control his movements, and it took him a long time to finally open his eyes.What came into my eyes was the face of a stranger. He looked a little curious, looking at Wade in the prison through the fence.It wasn't exactly a cell, but Wade was handcuffed, and a fence separated the two.

The person who appeared in front of Wade and looked at him was wearing green clothes, a green hat decorated with purple ribbons, and a golden cane with a question mark on the head handle. He was a riddle man.

He is not a violent super criminal, but he is still the number one villain in Gotham City, because Edward Nygma's brain is enough to play anyone in the palm of his hand.He once deceived Batman and the Joker, inferring that the second-generation Robin is Jason Todd, and he is also one of the few villains who knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

He grabbed the fence with one hand and leaned closer to Wade, his eyes barely blinking: "Do you know the answer?"

Wade forced himself to sit up, panting against the wall.He felt a tingling pain on the back of his hand, and lowered his head to find a scratch on the back of his hand.Someone took a knife and wrote "J&H" on it while he was unconscious.The wound had scabbed with blood, and the color was dark red, which indicated that he might have been missing for about two days.

"Where is this?" he asked.The Riddler kept his big smile on.

"The coolest place, the cutest and most charming lady - where are we?"

Okay, Wade knows they're still in Gotham.The clown couple turned the car around and took him back somewhere in Gotham.Wade ignored the Riddler, he began to look at the environment here.

The vision was dim, the overhead light was almost negligible, the entire room was without any decoration, the walls should have been white, but they had already turned yellowish, and there were stains on the corners, which looked like a large pool of dried blood.The other end of the handcuffs that were leaning on him was attached to a cabinet. He tugged hard, but it didn't budge.

The room was filled with an unpleasant smell, like a mixture of vomit and rotting organs.But there was a gust of air... He noticed it subtly, and Wade immediately looked at the top of his head, and found that this was not a completely closed environment, and there was a locked ventilation duct above his head.This may be the only breakthrough, because the entire room has no windows, and this may not be a room, but a warehouse somewhere.

"You were brought in the day before yesterday." The Riddler said suddenly, successfully attracting Wade's attention, and he smiled falsely at Wade again, "So we are good roommates now."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and he was also being handcuffed.This discovery surprised Wade a little.Originally, he thought that the Riddler and the Clown couple were together, and he stayed here because he was in charge of taking care of him, but now the Riddler told him the truth was not the case, they were not a cooperative relationship.But why did the Riddler fall out with the Joker?Is this a trap?

"Living among the almost suffocating crowd of fools, even the clown will lose his mind." The Riddler was a little disdainful, and he poked the fence between the two of them with his crutch, "The robber becomes a saint, the madman becomes a wise man, I Who are you talking about?—”

Wade tentatively said, "Joker."

"There is a reward for the correct answer," said the Riddler. "The guards outside the door take turns every quarter of an hour. They will come in, knock them out, and get the key to the handcuffs."

Doubt almost runs through Wade.

"Why did you help me?" he said.

The Riddler looked at him quietly for a moment.Wade thought he was delusional, because a complex emotion flashed from the Riddler's eyes.This is a super criminal with intelligence no less than that of Batman, but what distinguishes him from other criminals in Arkham is that the Riddler tends to stay on top of things, and he prefers to show off his intelligence rather than simply killing people.

Similarly, the super criminal Two-Face has a coin that decides life and death, one side of the coin symbolizes survival, and the other side symbolizes death, but in fact, Two-Face will not give a chance to people he dislikes, even if it flips to the side that survives , he will also cause the other party to die miserably.However, the Riddler, as long as his question is answered, he will let the other party go, this is his game rule.

And the question given by the Riddler was too simple, almost like it was done on purpose.

"The next question won't be so simple." The Riddler glanced at him and turned his back, "I know you."

But he had no recollection of ever seeing the Riddler.

Wade took a quick breath.He felt a dull pain in his chest, and every breath seemed to be slow, as if there was a non-existent knife scraping his body.He felt dizzy, almost unable to think, and the pain in the back of his head was especially severe.He tentatively called the Riddler again, but the latter ignored him, as if he was fast asleep.

He was still wearing the clothes he wore when he left Wayne's old house that day, and now it was crumpled on him. Wade found that his belongings had not been searched, and his watch was still on his wrist, but the surface was broken.He tried hard to identify it, and recognized the time pointed by the pointer, so it was eight o'clock in the evening. Of course, it might not be accurate, but what he needed now was just timing, so it didn't matter.

Wade was going to observe the shift change, and then judge whether the information given by the Riddler was correct.For the time being, he can't tell whether the other party's words are true or false, all he can do now is to calm down and observe.

After 10 minutes, he heard footsteps, which came from far to near.

Soon, three people appeared in the field of vision, casting elongated figures under the blurred light.Wade immediately closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

"—Penguin is stingy," one complained. "Joker is much richer."

"They only gave money once this time. To be honest, I didn't expect Gotham to become more and more crazy. Penguin, scarecrow and clown, ha!" Another voice said, "I thought it was a fat job!"

"I thought it was hired by the Penguin, so I took the order. I didn't expect the planner to be a clown." This should be the third person speaking, with a high-pitched voice like a girl, with fear in his words, "He's a lunatic, Brother Big The craziest thing about Tan is that he is even more crazy, have you seen how they dealt with that boy? When I went up to see it, it was almost a puddle of mud, and the scarecrow was still trying to attack him."

Wade's heart sank.

"It's his own bad luck, no one else's to blame," said the first. "Poor Wilkes boy!"

"I heard it's called Colin Wilkes." The voice of the third girl said.

Wade has heard the name, Colin Wilkes, who seems to later befriend Damian Wayne.The kid survived the Scarecrow's Bane venom and gained the superpower of controlling his own muscles.

He felt that these three people walked up to the Riddler first, they didn't open the cell door, they only dared to put the food in front of the fence on his side.

"The Penguin asked us to ask, should we cooperate or not?" one of them asked cautiously.

"I can't see the sincerity." The riddle man said, turning his body over, he didn't even bother to say the riddle to the three people, "the deal is not established."

After a while, they may give up.Come and open Wade's cell door.Wade's heart moved. When they were talking to the Riddler, he noticed the key hanging on one of them's waist.Just when the two were about to open the cell door, two gunshots rang out suddenly.The two people who were still talking fell down immediately, and the man with the shrill voice approached Wade, he stepped over the two corpses, no longer pretending, he said with a crazy smile: "It's really interesting."

—It was the clown's voice.

The Riddler sat up: "I am everywhere, where can I be found, who am I?"

"Stop, wait for the answer, you cut the line," said the clown, and he put his finger up to his mouth, making a stop gesture, "the clown has no time to play games with my dear little riddle. Now our guest is We Mr. de Black! Now, sir, come up to tea with us! We are so sorry that you slept through Christmas."

"Don't pretend to be asleep." He said, drawing a circle on Wade's face with his pistol, "Don't worry, I'll take you up right away."

Wade opened his eyes.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" He suppressed his anger, "If you want to use this to attract Ye Yi and the others, then I can only tell you that your plan will fail—"

"Shhhhhhh," the clown raised his hand to cover Wade's mouth, grinning, his scarlet lips looked even more terrifying under the dim light, "don't make any noise, you're scaring me."

He took out the crowbar hidden in the shadow from the corner, stroked it cherishedly, and showed an obsessed smile: "This is my souvenir, it used to be it, and it allowed me to complete my masterpiece."

Wade immediately realized that this crowbar was the one that brutally killed the second-generation Robin Jason Todd.Under the blurred light, his crowbar could still be seen to be covered with rust marks, and the blood stains were dark red and dry. It was the blood of Jason in the past, the blood of a child who had died.He felt a nausea in his throat and a urge to vomit.

"I heard that the good boy is working for you. How can this be, Mr. Black, how can you say this is okay? Mom and Dad are very sad."

So his purpose is to attract Jason?

"The bomb was mischievous because of you, it didn't work. The dead were disturbed by you again, the cute little bird will completely forget about us now!" The clown said with a giggle, "He won't forget now, he's coming over Find his parents."

Sure enough, the resurrected dead also had the tricks of the clown.It's all meant to remind Jason that his dark past didn't end with the bomb.

He stared into his eyes, leaning closer to Wade.The latter suddenly slammed his head into the clown, making a muffled noise, which caught him off guard and caused him to fall several steps and fall to the ground.

"Go away," Wade said, trying to ignore the sting of dizziness, "Don't try to hurt him, you'll still fail this time."

"Oh, let's see—"

The clown was still giggling, but there was a flash of anger and cruelty in his eyes, and the latter stared at the clown fearlessly.He's just a clown, in every way, and Wade isn't afraid of him.

However, a violent emotion that should not belong to him suddenly flashed in Wade's heart.A strange pain came from the back of his head, like a burst of electricity.His fingers moved.feel strange.

What are you waiting for?With a splitting headache, a voice said to him, it’s been so long, don’t reject it, why don’t you accept it——

Aren't you tired of pretending to be a normal person?Wade, huh?Or did you enjoy it and forget why you came back to earth?

"Shut up," he whispered.

……

The clown was obviously dissatisfied, and he pointed Wade's forehead with his finger: "What a bad boy." Then, he uncuffed Wade's handcuffs, grabbed his collar, and pulled him up from the ground, all the way Stumbling towards the stairs.

When passing by the Riddler, the latter looked at Wade and suddenly lip-synched.

"Over the head." He said silently.

Wade followed his line of sight, and the grille of the ventilation duct above his room flashed the corner of the black-and-yellow-edged cloak.

—Robin?Damian?
