Chapter 182 An Unsolvable Puzzle?
"Barbara, you and Miss Asley will move to a safe place later. I remember you set up a temporary base in Robinson Park, right?"
After getting confirmation from Barbara, Gordon nodded.
"Although I really hope you can hide in the park and not come out, I know you have your own ideas and will not stay in the park obediently."
Gordon looked at Barbara with both love and worry in his eyes.
"But I must ask you to promise me that you must not participate in the battle here."
"This is a decisive battle between GCPD and Bane and others, not a battle for you."
"But..."
Barbara was about to refute, but Gordon interrupted her.
"You have more important things to do!"
"What?"
Barbara and Pamela widened their eyes at the same time, not understanding what Gordon meant.
"Now, the hope of all Gotham is on Kaito Kidd."
Gordon looked at the two women with a serious face.
"I want to declare war on Bane in a high-profile manner just to try to cover up Kidd. The battle of GCPD is not important."
"If you must do something, I hope you will do your best to help Kaito Kidd and find the hiding place of the nuclear bomb as soon as possible."
After listening to Gordon's words, Barbara looked at him in disbelief.
Is this really what her father would say?
Is it someone else pretending to be him?
It's impossible to think about it, Barbara lowered her head with mixed feelings.
She knew that Gordon was right. If the problem of the nuclear bomb is not solved, other battles will be meaningless.
But the remaining manpower of GCPD is less than 300 people, even though Blake has been trying to secretly contact many veterans in Gotham City.
In the end, more than 500 new forces were pulled in.
At most, there are only 800 people.
But what about the enemy?
The gangs under Penguin alone have more than 5,000 members, and this is the number from several years ago.
After Bane came to Gotham, many gangs absorbed a large number of people.
Perhaps they have expanded to a huge military force of more than 10,000 people, and there are Wayne high-tech weapons provided by Bane.
No matter how they fight, they can't see the chance of winning.
In Barbara's view, this is almost a war that is doomed to fail.
But this war must be fought.
In this case, the two forces of herself and Pamela joining in will definitely be much stronger than Gordon and others fighting alone.
At least they can hold on for a while longer.
"I know what you are thinking, Barbara."
Seeing Barbara's face full of hesitation, how could Gordon not see his daughter's thoughts.
"Your friend should have power beyond our imagination."
Gordon looked at Pamela and asked Barbara.
Gordon knew the identity of Pamela Eisley. After observing Pamela for a while, he remembered that this girl was the one who was saved by Kaito Kidd.
Then it is not difficult to guess why she followed Barbara to Gotham. She must have come for Kaito Kidd.
If she can make friends with Barbara, she must be smart. She must be able to see the current situation in Gotham.
However, Pamela not only came, but also did not have the slightest fear of the current situation in Gotham.
This only proves one thing, that is, Pamela has strong power, enough to support her to move freely in Gotham.
For a woman with strong power and a good impression of Kaito Kidd, the answer is naturally obvious.
Pamela is Poison Ivy!
Gordon has deduced Pamela's secret, but he did not say it clearly.
Poison Ivy has not done anything out of line except helping Kaito Kidd.
And she has a good relationship with his beloved daughter, so Gordon naturally does not have any hostility towards Pamela.
"Don't underestimate GCPD. Ordinary gangs can't beat us."
"The headquarters of the Gotham Police Department is in front. You don't have to go there anymore."
After walking for a while, the destination is approaching.
Gordon looked at Barbara and the other two girls for the last time and told them to stay away from here.
"Barbara, we..."
Pamela asked behind Barbara, she didn't dare to speak in front of Gordon.
After all, Gordon had seen that she had hidden abilities, although she didn't know that Gordon already knew that she was Poison Ivy.
This made Pamela try to avoid contact with Gordon.
She wanted to persuade Barbara not to hesitate any more, so she listened to Gordon and went with her to find a way to solve the ultimate puzzle left by the Riddler.
Help Kaito Kidd find the hiding place of the nuclear bomb. If Kidd solved the riddle first, it didn't matter.
They could also cover for Kidd and clear most of the obstacles for him.
It was indeed more effective than confronting Bane and other forces head-on.
"No need to say more, I understand."
Barbara nodded to Pamela, agreeing with her idea.
Gordon was relieved to see the two women gradually go away.
As long as Barbara doesn't stay in the most dangerous place, he can only do this step...
On the other side, after McGinley flew away from Wayne Tower on Midtown Island.
He glided towards the diamond district.
While feeling the wind with the smell of gunpowder blowing on his face, he was thinking about the ultimate puzzle of the Riddler.
"What is the Riddler trying to do? The most difficult puzzle to solve is no puzzle."
If there is no riddle, what is he going to solve? McGinley was confused.
He even suspected that the Riddler didn't want to leave any riddles at all. Bane couldn't let people really find the location of the fusion reactor.
"But, can the Riddler really suppress his obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
McGinley didn't quite believe it.
Edward Nygma has a weird habit, that is, he likes to leave riddles at the crime scene.
The information obtained after solving the riddle is either the location and time of the next crime, or the current hiding place of the Riddler.
This has become a symbol of the Riddler.
It is also a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Whether Nygma wants to leave clues or not, his instinct will drive him to leave.
In other words, unless the eight years of Arkham experience cured the Riddler's obsessive-compulsive disorder, the riddles he left must have meaning.
Even if the Riddler said there is no puzzle.
Maggieson thought more and more deeply.
"No puzzle" is not as simple as saying there is no puzzle.
If there is really "no" puzzle, the Riddler would not have to record the whole thing.
Maggieson still couldn't figure out what the Riddler meant by no puzzle, but fortunately he put it aside for the time being.
"Charlie, how are you preparing? I'll be there soon."
With no clue, Maggieson contacted Charlie...
(Don't worry too much about doing anti-theft work every day in the future. After all, I haven't made up my mind whether to do this or not. If the response is not good today, I won't do anti-theft work regularly in the future.
But it is inevitable to do anti-theft work occasionally. I hope everyone can be more tolerant of this.
The Bain chapter has actually fallen into an awkward situation so far. I feel that it is missing a lot if I finish it quickly. If I continue to drag it on, it is indeed too watery.
What do you think should be done?)
