I, V, Gotham Legend

Batman's fight was much simpler. A robot raised its sharp forelimbs and tried to launch a sneak attack. He grabbed the robot's display head with his backhand, and then broke its scorpion-like neck with an elbow.

Then he picked up the robot and threw it into the pile of robots in front of him like throwing noodles, and the metal parts were broken all over the ground.

Robots are not humans, not even living things, so Batman, who can finally let go, acts extremely brutally.

After dismantling two or three spider robots, he finally determined that the weaknesses of these ghost creatures were the mobile power supply on the back of the spider's body and the detector on the display.

In the following battle, he completely aimed at these targets, such as holding down the scorpion's tail with both hands to restrain the robot's movements, and then stomping on the robot's back with his feet like stepping on a watermelon.

Otherwise, pick up the robot and break these things in half with your knees like a crutch.

Or they could forcibly remove parts from a robot and use them as weapons to dismantle other robots.

Use the Batclaw to hook some heavy objects or use the Batarang to break some things such as chandeliers, booth bases, etc., so that these heavy objects can smash the robot.

The extreme violence seemed to be venting something. Compared with him, Valerie, who honestly used a gun to beat people, seemed more like a normal person.

The spider-shaped puzzle robots were not equipped with long-range firepower. These simply made thugs relied on human wave tactics, gnawing at their targets like ants, but more than half of them were cleared out right away, and the remaining ones were enough to be dealt with by the two of them.

Valerie felt that the cooling was almost done, so she immediately jumped off the wall and sprinted to an area where the machines were more densely packed.

"Stop! Die! Now!" Nygma, who was peeping from somewhere, saw the flashing electricity on Valerie's two swords and shouted anxiously.

Valerie fell into the group of robots. The robots gathered towards her and tried to stop her with their claws and fangs, but the mantis swords still collided with each other as expected.

The hemispherical electric arc once again covered the room, and even the robots on the walls fell off like paint.

Large groups of robots fell helplessly to the ground, and the spacious hall of the museum looked like a scrap recycling station full of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Valerie grabbed a robot's display head and lifted it up to her eyes.

"Sure enough, not as handsome as before."

She was referring to the group that had been discovered under the floor before. Those robots were equipped with long mechanical arms and weapons, and they were obviously elite monsters.

And this robot looks like a scorpion, which seems very inconvenient.

However, she still stuffed the entire robot into her pocket, planning to study it later when she returned.

NO66. You are a little too honest

Seeing that Valerie still had the leisure to pick up trash after knocking down all the robots, Batman silently put away the EMP grenade he had taken out.

"My dear robots... your actions have caused me excessive property damage! If I take you to court, you will spend the rest of your life in prison!" The Riddler scolded the unscrupulous demolition team.

"The damage you've done to Gotham tonight is enough to send you to prison for the rest of your life," Batman said as he broke off a robot's head.

"Haha, you are so self-righteous again. In fact, every second you waste on your way to find me will reduce your already slim chances of winning."

The Riddler seemed to have forgotten his arrogance in saying that this hall was a death trap.

"See, I told you he was just being stubborn." Valerie shot and shattered the last spider robot, then walked to Batman. "Why don't you use the one on your waist?"

She saw Batman's EMP grenade.

"It's just that these robots can't use their trump cards. This is for you." Batman was unexpectedly frank.

"I like your outspokenness, but isn't it a little too blunt?" Valerie said with a strained expression.

"You know my style," Batman simply responded.

Valerie scratched her head in frustration. She thought Batman might have known that she had peeked at his computer, so he didn't even bother to pretend.

I don't know why, maybe it's because I've been prepared for it? Knowing that Batman is always ready to deal with me, Valerie doesn't feel angry at all.

Having said that, she felt she had lost the momentum by not saying a word, so she decided to say a few harsh words first.

"Humph, don't think you can easily control me. I've already done devilish training on myself, and now I'm mentally strong enough to eat insects. Your dark plans for me will never be effective!"

This was just bragging. An accident occurred on the second day of her desensitization training plan. The beautiful photo of locusts posted on the wall mysteriously disappeared. Mr. Victor, who lived in the same room, said he was not aware of it.

Although she had been thinking about putting another one up, Valerie was too busy to do it—or rather, she instinctively didn't want to take the time to do it.

But no matter what, momentum must be there.

"I will always keep up with the times." Batman actually took up the topic.

"Do you want to start an arms race with me?" Valerie felt a little excited when she thought about it.

Batman didn't respond this time. He just led the way in silence.

They passed through the hall of the Paleontology Museum and there was another passage at the back. Unlike the previous simply decorated corridor, this passage was built with stones and was very spacious for vehicles. It looked like a dungeon, which fully made people feel the antiquity of this museum.

Nygma had not prepared any surprises in this stone passage. After passing through the prison-like path, the two of them suddenly saw a clear view.

They came to a place that looked like the ancient Roman Colosseum. After walking through the stone corridor, they came to a ground paved with fine sand. Unlike the dimly lit place before, this place was brightly lit.

The square here is generally large, but it is still indoors, giving people a depressing feeling.

A circle of electrified wire fence was built around the place, isolating the stairs leading to the stands from behind. Countless question mark-shaped light bulbs were tied to the wire fence, flashing green light.

The corridor faces a three-story-high grandstand, and a group of people can be seen clearly from a distance.

Another large group of robots surrounded the stands. They looked more humanoid than the spiders before, with triangular tracks and wheels attached to their motorcycle-like bodies.

These seemed to be the Riddler's most valuable treasures, and they were staring at the stands like spectators.

As the two walked into the Colosseum, a projection suddenly hit the wall of the stands, and a man in green clothes appeared in the picture.

"Hahaha...you're finally here..." There was no broadcast at the scene, and the Riddler's voice echoed directly in Batman's mind.

"You have nowhere to escape." Batman issued a final warning to Nygma.

"Do you say this to every tough enemy?" Nygma scratched his ear with ease.

Valerie stood a step behind Batman, her large powder-blue eyes zooming like a cat's.

Her vision was like a telescope, and the Riddler's figure on the screen magnified in her eyes.

Nygma was wearing a green suit with a black question mark on it and a black hat on his head. His outfit was quite harmonious.

At this time, he was sitting on a throne-like sofa, with several upright ropes stretched behind him.

The rope was so tight it looked like it was attached to a guillotine.

Batman obviously noticed it too, and he raised his head to look at the ceiling.

"Haha, it seems you have guessed what I'm going to do... but first, I'm going to make it impossible for you to regret it." Looking at Batman's actions, the Riddler smiled, picked up the Question Mark Scepter, and pressed a button on it.

"Boom!"

There was a deafening explosion behind her, and Valerie turned around. The corridor they came from was already covered with rubble.

Not only the corridor, but also the audience passage on the stands and the several gates under the stands, all the exits from here were buried with rubble.

"You seem to have destroyed a very valuable antique. These buildings look to be more than a hundred years old, right?" Valerie shouted to Nygma.

"It's just a few broken stones. People always like to attach meaningless value to meaningless things." The Riddler leaned back on the sofa. "And now, what you are about to face, and what the people of Gotham are about to see, is something truly valuable."

His relaxed movement away from the camera allowed more details about the room to appear in the frame.

"I seem to have seen that room." Valerie suddenly said to Batman.

She had worked with Nygma late last year, helping him hide several trophies in the museum.

She saw the model ship stand in the background of Nygma's room; Valerie had been to the room with that stand before.

"I suggest you focus on these things." The Riddler did not show any panic or defensive reaction like before. He stroked the stretched ropes behind him with confidence, as if he was stroking the strings of a guitar.

Batman stared at the top of his head with a serious expression. There was not the cathedral-like ceiling that should have been there, but a huge rock tied with thin ropes.

The rope was wrapped around the boulder again and again, but the material of it did not look strong.

"Someone has done it before... Archimedes? He claimed that he lifted a warship with five gears and a rope." Nygma raised his chin proudly, "But I think he is just bragging. Look, how many hundreds of tons does that rock above your head weigh? I used six hemp ropes to lift it."

He pulled a wallpaper knife from his pocket and twirled it like a pen. “Even I’m not sure how many of these ropes I have to cut before the thing can’t hold on and falls.”

NO67. Original mechanism

The stones above could cover the entire room of the Colosseum, and their dark brown color reveals a terrifying weight.

The Riddler in the projection stroked the rope behind him, his expression full of accomplishment.

"You always have cutting-edge technology, and use all kinds of fancy gadgets to fool those brainless ordinary people, so that they give you the title of super."

The Riddler was excited: "But I'm telling you this is what we call super! To corner you, I only need the most primitive mechanical devices!"

Nygma placed the small wallpaper knife against a rope behind him. "As long as I slowly cut these little things, you will be crushed into pulp by the huge rocks above your heads - but I won't do it directly. Here is the riddle prepared for you."

"Click, click, click..." The sound of metal friction was heard, and many robots standing in the audience suddenly came to life, with green light shining in their eyes.

"Do you know that chip? You have dismantled many robots, so you should know that there are chips in the bodies of these robots of mine?" The Riddler pointed to the position of his temple.

Batman knew what he was talking about. Not long ago, he taught V not to put chips given by strangers in his head.

"Roar, of course you know this, this is what I carefully prepared! Now, there are more than 140 robots in front of you, and each of them has a chip in its head.

These chips contain not only the AI ​​systems I programmed, but also a lot of gadgets, like a virus that can paralyze the entire NASA system, or my favorite riddles. "

Nygma introduced the rules of the game like a host of a variety show: "Next, I will slowly cut each rope behind me, they are like the mechanism of a gallows or the hourglass in a chess game.

Even a genius like me doesn't know how many ropes I have to cut before the stone falls. You must disassemble my robots before they are crushed, and then find the real riddle from their chip systems. Only if you answer correctly will I consider letting you and this city go. "

"I can get to you directly," Valerie said directly to the Riddler.

Although all exits were blocked, Valerie's digging skills were impressive.

"Haha, I'm watching you all the time, and I can leave at any time." The Riddler seemed to have planned everything. He waved the wallpaper knife, "Besides, it will take some time for a knife like this to cut through the hemp ropes behind me, but this is just a concession I made for you out of generosity."

The Riddler raised his staff, the curved question mark sharp as a sickle. "If I see you try to leave that room, I will cut all the ropes immediately."

As if they had received an order, the robots in the stands jumped down on their own initiative, like dumplings.

Valerie stepped forward, her arms emitting mantis blades.

"Don't try to use EMP, it will only destroy my chip. I left the antidote for white metal in it!" Seeing Valerie's actions, Nygma reminded proudly.

"Is that so..." Valerie put away the mantis knife and instead pulled out a pink long knife.

The falling rock might not kill her, but if all the ropes broke it would mean that it was game over for Nygma, and he would most likely flee immediately, and dealing with such a large rock would be enough to delay the pursuit.

But in order to make this mechanism well, Nygma's room should be not far from here.

In other words, although we are not face to face, we are now only separated from the Riddler by a few walls.

We should take advantage of the situation and follow the rules to stabilize the Riddler. It seems we need to ask for help...

Valerie made a phone call in her head, sending a bunch of stuff over the network.

"Shhhhhh!"

While Valerie still looked dazed, a series of small rockets rushed in front of her.

The Riddle robot, which had already approached her, had smoke coming out of the bazooka on its shoulder. It seemed to be the culprit.

Valerie swung her katana, and the rocket was blasted away like a baseball, crashing into the sand and exploding, with dust rising like a fountain.

Looking up, I saw the Riddler on the screen leaning back on the sofa, his hand holding the wallpaper knife raised above his head, elegantly cutting the rope behind his head.

"Is there no hint at the start of the game?" Valerie saw Batman rushing into the robot group and starting violent executions.

She couldn't help rolling her eyes at first, then she ran to a robot and cut off its head with her backhand.

The robot did not stop moving after being decapitated. It raised its long arms with machine guns strapped to them.

Although according to Valerie's experience, bullets of this caliber cannot penetrate the defense, it is still very annoying to be hit by machine gun fire. She cut off the robot's arms and track base, turning it into a robot stick with a body like a motorcycle.

The reason why it was not chopped into pieces directly was because the machine head had been disassembled and no chips were found.

From this point of view, the chip should still be inside the robot.

Ignoring the other robots approaching, Valerie crouched down and opened the robot's body like a crab shell. Then she blinked and scanned the various parts inside it.

There are many chips in the robot's body, but the specially made riddle chip is still easy to find, so she pulled out this chip.

The chip was still connected to wires, which Valerie tore off abruptly, like a blood vessel being torn apart when a piece of heart is taken out.

Batman was not as leisurely as Valerie. After dismantling one robot, he immediately pounced on the next one.

There is no time to collect loot during the battle, and the same is true when you have to wait to defeat all the robots and then look for chips one by one.
