Chapter 208 Riddler, Get Out of Gotham!

"Are there other mechanisms here?"

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

Apart from the four statues, are there other defensive mechanisms that have not been opened?

He didn't find it last time.

No, even after the Riddler said this, Kaito Kidd still didn't find any incredible mechanisms hidden around.

"Where are you looking?"

The Riddler looked at Kaito Kidd and said sarcastically.

"Can't you see such a simple arrangement? Watch your feet!"

Hearing this, Kaito Kidd's face changed and he lowered his head to look down.

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

There were also four statues and the Riddler at the same time.

The Riddler was holding a remote control in his hand, which was obviously used to control these mechanisms.

The height of the wall was about four meters, and a normal person would never be able 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 time, the Riddler laughed.

"But you won't get out from here, because the things you want to steal are still under here."

The Riddler pointed to the blocked entrance in the center.

"These walls are not meant to trap you."

The Riddler pressed a button on the remote control again.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Four beeping sounds came from inside the statue.

Each statue's eyes glowed red, showing a four-minute countdown.

"What does this mean?"

Kaito Kidd asked the Riddler.

"Do you 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 solve all the puzzles before the countdown?"

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

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

The Riddler said with a look of wanting a beating.

"By then, these poor statues will be crushed, and they are the only mechanism to open the passage. If they are crushed, the entrance to the passage will never be opened again..."

After that, the Riddler began to laugh nervously again.

"So, you must solve the riddles of the four statues within four minutes, take off something specified on the statues, and the passage will automatically open. If you can't do it, your action tonight will be declared a failure."

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

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

Naturally, they heard the Riddler's words.

After the Riddler's transformation, only the mechanism inside the statue can successfully open the passage, and even the people inside the passage can't open it.

If Kidd fails, it means that Talia and others will never get out again!

"Is Edward Nygma trying to kill us?"

A shadow warrior said indignantly.

Knowing that they are 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 Talia.

"I won't leave here."

Talia said calmly.

"I knew Edward would design this mechanism a long time ago, and even if I knew it, I still had to come in."

"We must not let Kidd steal the nuclear bomb, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for this."

"I'm sorry, I caused you to die alone with me underground..."

Seeing Talia so determined, 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 master. We are not alone!"

"May the evils of the world disappear from now on..."

Talia's eyes were slightly moist, but she hid it well.

"Bane, it seems that I am the one who needs to sacrifice in the end. I hope you don't do anything stupid. Leave Gotham after today's matter is over..."

Talia said in her heart.

"But... Kaito Kidd may not lose to the Riddler. We can't be optimistic."

When the Riddler disappeared on the wall, the countdown began.

Time was running out, and Kaito Kidd immediately flashed to the statue closest to him.

That is, the statue of the noble lady.

A new sentence appeared on the chest of the statue of the noble lady.

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

"I am worthless to one person, but priceless to two people."

"What am I?"

There are only four minutes in total, which means that Kaito Kid can't spend more than one minute on each statue.

Quickly reaching the statue and scanning these few words, three seconds have passed.

There are fifty-seven seconds left.

Kaito Kid's brain is working fast, thinking about possible options.

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

Outside the wall, the Riddler was waiting confidently.

In his opinion, Kid had only two endings.

Either he was crushed by the wall, or he escaped before being crushed.

And these two endings only proved one thing, that is, Kaito Kid could not solve the riddle set by the Riddler.

The wisdom between the two people was far apart.

"I see!"

Finally, when the countdown reached the fifty-third second, Kaito Kid thought of the answer to the riddle.

Something that cannot be bought but can be stolen at a glance, and only has meaning between two people, that is - love!

And the only symbol of love on the statue is the ring 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.

However, the countdown will not stop for this, because there are other statues that need to be cracked.

Kidd did not stop and came to the statue of the young nun who was closely connected to the lady's statue.

There was also a riddle carved on the nun's chest.

"I am two things that are separated from each other but closely connected. One cannot affect the other."

"Even if I can't see you, I can feel you and be felt by you."

"What am I?"

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