I, V, Gotham Legend

"This is his warning. He wants to attack Gotham, perhaps by poisoning it." Batman jumped down from the platform.

The government building could not be rescued, but fortunately the people inside had been evacuated, and Anazi's goal was only to destroy the building.

For them, what "explodes" is more about the symbols behind these buildings.

"Master, I analyzed the audio and video of Anazi in the previous section and found similar infrasound waves." Ah Fu's voice came again.

“Is it also a riddle?”

“It will be decrypted soon.”

"Try to be quick. I'll go arrest Anazi first... I already know where he is."

...

Due to the large number of Christian denominations, there are several churches in Gotham alone. However, due to space and historical reasons, only one can still serve as a tomb.

As Valerie pushed open the door of the church, she and Helena sorted out the clues they had collected.

"So, what does rain have to do with the church and the moon?" Valerie's little brain was almost burnt, she had never thought so hard before.

Helena didn't quite understand it either, but she instinctively felt that the three clues referred to three different things.

Valerie walked into the church lobby, where a large number of chairs were placed as the place where believers held various ceremonies.

Just as imagined, the place is filled with green question marks, announcing in a very high-profile manner who created these masterpieces.

Valerie and Helena walked down a red aisle, at the end of which was a heart-shaped organ and candlesticks.

"Snap..." The sound of cloth unfolding was heard, and they both turned around at the same time and saw a pale curtain hanging from the second floor.

A projection hit the screen, and a man in a green suit with black question marks painted on it appeared on it.

He held up his green hat, his eyes hidden in the shadows. "You're the first one to find this place. Where's Batman? Don't tell me it was the chick in tights behind you."

"Have some respect, she's my little sister." Valerie stood in front of Helena, her eyes already scanning her.

"Well, it doesn't matter. The fact that you can get here means that you have analyzed the infrasound and the fourteen layers of interference amplitude designed on it..."

"That's enough. I understood your so-called riddle in an instant." Valerie interrupted the Riddler's long speech.

"What? Haha... I admire your unyielding spirit, but I still have to make it clear that my encryption technology and infrasound capture technology are superior to the rest of the world!" The Riddler slammed his hand on the table. "The things here were originally prepared for Batman, but now, I have to admit that you are qualified to be my opponent!"

As the Riddler moved, the entire church began to shake.

Helena staggered because of the sudden tremor and almost lost her balance, but Valerie looked much more calm. She had almost gotten used to the sudden loss of weight.

"I've always wondered, why would someone as high-profile as you be so honest and be a behind-the-scenes manipulator?" Valerie crossed her arms and walked to the window of the church.

The entire church had been lifted up, like a hot air balloon, and from the windows one could see the ground moving farther and farther away.

The air waves drove up the dust on the ground, forming a wave-like storm, and the speed at which the church was lifted was gradually increasing.

"Of course it's because I'm about to have an even bigger performance." The Riddler said with confidence.

"That Anazi was supposed to do three live explosions as planned, so that I could publicize the three riddle infrasound waves throughout Gotham! This was my challenge to Batman, but I never expected that guy to be so stupid!"

The Riddler on the screen stood up. He raised his head, revealing his chestnut eyes behind glasses. "The explosives in the bank have been solved ahead of time. The last riddle can only rot in my heart. This is absolutely not right! I cannot accept an incomplete riddle!"

"So you mean this place wasn't originally prepared for me?" Valerie asked, looking at the night.

"Now it is." The Riddler looked at Valerie across the curtain, "I am going to tell you the last riddle that was originally going to be based on infrasound, even though it is no longer important to you now."

The ceiling suddenly opened up, revealing the bombs hidden underneath, all of which flashed red.

Helena was so nervous that she didn't know what to do because of the human instinctive fear of heights.

"I am the uninvited guest, a fragment of the dawn..." The Riddler's chant has begun.

Valerie suddenly looked up: "I see! The answer is missiles!"

"What?" The Riddler was interrupted, but he looked interested.

"You want to use this church to make artificial rain, right? Converting a church into a missile is really something you can do." Valerie finally understood.

The answer to the first riddle is death or faith, and the answer to the second riddle is rain.

In ancient times, calling the wind and rain represented the most primitive belief, but with the development of science and technology today, artificial rainfall is no longer a problem.

Valerie had been in scanning mode, and although she couldn't scan out specific substances, she could still see a large amount of dry ice and other precipitation agents buried in the wall.

The Riddler transformed the church into a missile for artificial rainfall. When the church flies into the dark clouds, it will explode on the spot and the rainfall agent will be splashed into the clouds.

Using this method, faith can truly bring rain, which is truly the black humor of the Riddler.

Valerie sat down on a recliner. Even though the church would soon pierce the dark clouds and they would be blown to pieces together, Valerie didn't seem to care.

"Hehe..." The Riddler suddenly laughed again. "Although this is indeed the fate you will encounter next, it is not the answer to my riddle... What I want to say is, meteorite!"

ps: I have been up all night, I am too sleepy, I will go to sleep first, the next chapter will be updated in the afternoon

NO56. Anazi

Gotham's abandoned court is located in the middle of the old city. It was built by Solomon Wayne, the ancestor of the Wayne family, and is therefore called Solomon's Court.

But with the expansion of Gotham, Solomon's Court has been abandoned, and now it has become a paradise for homeless people and drug addicts.

But since half a month ago, the homeless people here have been basically cleared out, and the Anarchists have occupied this place as the cult's secret base.

The court is divided into two floors. The glass windows on the second floor allow you to overlook the situation on the first floor, which is strictly guarded by a group of snipers.

As the government building collapsed, the anarchist terrorists hiding there cheered wildly and their busy movements became more vigorous.

Anazi, who was sitting in the presiding judge's seat, did not move. He had received news that the bomb in Gotham Bank had been dismantled.

These bombs are not the point. In addition to being a symbol of destroying the government, attacking these important public places can also attract the attention of the police to the greatest extent and ensure the implementation of the actual plan.

Anazi looked around at his men busying themselves on the uncovered floor, his heart tense the entire time.

The bomb in Gotham Bank could no longer be detonated, but he still planned to continue the live broadcast. Until the charging was completed, this place must not be disturbed.

However, the day did not fulfill everyone's wish.

"Snapped!"

The glass windows on the second floor were smashed, and a black superhero fell from the sky, waving his cape, and landed among the crowd.

The anarchist terrorists were startled. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Batman who suddenly broke in in shock.

"It's really hard to understand how you found this place?" Anazi sat in the main seat and looked at Batman.

"Because I'm Batman." Batman said coldly.

After destroying buildings that symbolize government, economy, and violence, what else will anarchists target?

Court.

“Law is an unequal contract endorsed by the government to justify its own exploitation…”

"That's just nonsense." Batman interrupted Anazi.

Gotham's law is still relatively good, it just doesn't work as well as it should.

"Wrong logic? Do you care about the law or the government?" Anazi asked, "You are just like me. We should join hands and change this city together!"

"I don't..." Batman wanted to say that he didn't cooperate with criminals, but when he thought about it, he had already cooperated with a certain mercenary many times. "What you are doing is useless."

"Of course, I'm not really only good at setting off a few explosives. This is just the beginning of a long operation." Anazi stood up from the presiding judge's seat. "I regret your lack of cooperation, colleagues! Let's hold him down!"

As Anachi raised his arm and called out, the Anarchist terrorists who had been ready for action immediately swarmed forward. They surrounded Batman in the middle, while the remaining few who were still busy stepped up their actions.

Although it was not clear what they were busy with, Batman took the lead in stopping those who were busy. He shot out his grappling hook, wrapped around the calf of one of them, and pulled him to the ground. The grappling hook quickly pulled back and pulled the man back.

The person who was pulled back knocked down the crowd in the middle like a crossbar and was pulled back in front of Batman.

Batman grabbed the man by the collar, snatched the flashlight-like device from his hand, and then knocked him out with a punch.

The anarchists waved their fists or baseball bats, and some held broken beer bottles, trying to attack Batman with their claws and fangs.

But these people were not even as threatening to Batman as the small thugs. He easily dodged the attacks and counterattacked while monitoring the device in his hand.

"Did you see it? Can you guess what we want to do?" Anazi stood in the crowd, holding an electric baton that looked like a lightsaber in both hands.

"Jiao Yi, this is a product of Wayne Group. Are you stealing electricity?" Batman dropped the device and caught the baseball bat that was hitting him with his backhand.

He realized that Solomon's Court was located on the main power line of the old city, which was one of the reasons why the court was abandoned because it would affect maintenance.

What would Anazi do with all that electricity?

There are still many security guards busy here. They are not only changing the lines, but some are also stuffing batteries under the floor.

They had placed something under the floor and it was still running electricity, so much so that even one main circuit was unable to supply enough current and an additional power supply was needed.

"Such a large abnormal current would normally attract the attention of the government. But no one cares about us now, just like in the past!" Anazi rushed towards Batman, wielding the stun baton like a pair of swords.

Although the current is not large, the voltage of the stun gun exceeds thousands of volts. A normal person would be knocked out in an instant. Anazi wielded this dangerous weapon with great vigor.

Batman jumped up on the spot, did a front flip and landed behind Anazi, then kicked Anazi on the back before he could react.

Anazi flew out like a champagne bottle cap, the stun gun flew out of his hand, and he fell flat on his face.

Batman retracted his foot and blocked the fist that was about to attack him from the side, twisting it with his backhand. The man fell to the ground wailing and rolled around.

"It's all over. No matter what your plan was, it's stillborn." Batman kicked away the two people who were blocking his way and quickly walked towards the open floor.

“Ahem, hehe…” Anazi laughed. He took off his hood, revealing a headset on his white jade mask. “It doesn’t matter. Even though the effect will be a little worse, I’m going to detonate that thing!”

Hearing Anazi's words, the An people around him panicked: "Anazi! Should we evacuate first? This is..."

"Nygma said that thing won't kill anyone!" Anazi got up from the ground and ran in the opposite direction.

At this time, Batman knocked out all the busy security guards and jumped down to the floor. The space below was not spacious, just like the vents, so he had to squat and walk.

Because An Ren had tinkered with the wires for a long time, the wires were very messy and it was impossible to determine which ones were connected later, so Batman simply cut off all the wires.

Cutting off the city's main power circuit will affect the power supply of half the city, but that doesn't matter now, as he will compensate for the losses later.

After cutting the wires, he finally had time to go down the tunnel and see what these terrorists were doing.

Electric wires are usually buried underground, and space like this that allows people to move forward should have been expanded. This also means that the end of the tunnel is Anazi's real plan.

Batman has been through air ducts countless times in his career, so he moves skillfully and quickly.

Until he reached the end, there was no lighting because the cables were cut, but Batman still felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

He turned on the detective vision, but his attention was immediately drawn to what he saw.

It was a missile of unknown origin already mounted on a launch pad.

ps: There will be more later

NO57. White Metal

"You're one step faster than me." Batman had just seen the missile clearly when the room was suddenly opened and Anazi ran in breathlessly.

"Is this a dirty bomb?" Batman immediately recognized what it was.

"It has been transformed, and it will lead Gotham into a truly equal society of eternal peace!" Anazi said, circling away from Batman and running towards the side of the missile launcher.

He wanted to detonate a dirty bomb. According to the original plan, the dirty bomb was to be launched over Gotham, cooperating with the Riddler's "Rain" to spread pollution all over Gotham.

But now, since the current has been cut off, the missile cannot be launched into the sky, but the remaining reserve electricity can still be used to detonate the dirty bomb.

Anarchy was desperately squeezing his body functions to the limit. He no longer expected Anarchy's embrace to cover all of Gotham, but at least the entire Docker Island could be isolated.

But he had only run a few steps when he felt a heavy blow to his knee and stumbled to the ground.

The bat dart fell at his feet, and Anazi's action was forcibly interrupted. He struggled to get up, but saw Batman walking towards him.

A big hand lifted Anazi's collar, and Batman's white eyes met the terrified eyes under the mask.

Batman roughly pulled off Anazi's mask and was about to give him a hard punch, but he was stunned: "You are still a child?"

Under the mask was a fair and tender face that looked only about sixteen years old.

"So what? I'm still willing to stand up and change Gotham's dire situation!" After taking off the mask, Anazi's immature voice became much clearer.

"You're not making Gotham any better."

"You are as stubborn as a donkey! As long as we unite with Anarchy... unite around me, everyone will live a better life!" Anarchy gritted his teeth, "You have the same idea as me, right? We are different!"

Batman sighed. He finally realized that although Anazi talked about righteousness, he actually just wanted to be the best.
