Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics - Chapter 208

“There are other institutions here?”

On the other side, after the riddler finished his speech, the Kaito Kidd frowned.

Except for the four statues, are there other defensive mechanisms that have not been activated?

He didn’t notice it last time.

No, even after the Riddler had said these, the Kaito Kidd still didn’t find any incredible organs hidden around him.

“Where are you looking?”

The riddler looked at Kaito Kidd and sneered.

“Can you not see such a simple arrangement? Pay attention to your feet!”

Hearing this, the strange thief Kidd’s expression changed, and he lowered his head to look down.

At this moment, four alloy walls suddenly rose up underground, covering Kidd inside.

There are also four statues and riddlers.

I saw the riddler holding a remote control in his hand, obviously it was used to control these organs.

The height of the wall is about four meters, and it is impossible for a normal person to escape from this “cage”.

It’s just that, how can Kaito Kidd be a normal person?

“I know you have a lot of gadgets, it’s easy to escape.”

At this time, the riddler laughed.

“But you won’t go out here, because what you want to steal is still under here.”

The riddler pointed to the blocked entrance to the correction center.

“These walls don’t exist to trap you either.”

I saw the riddler press a button on the remote control again.

“Drops! Drops! Drops! Drops!”

Four beeps came from inside the statue.

I saw that the eyes of each statue glowed red, showing a four-minute countdown.

“What does it mean?”

Kai thief Kidd looked at the riddler and asked.

“Have you seen these countdowns? If you want to go in, you must 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 haven’t solved all of them before the countdown?”

“Then I’m sorry, you will always lose the opportunity to steal your goals.”

“Look at the two walls on the left and right. After every minute of the countdown, they move forward a distance until they are close together.”

The riddler said with an expression of beating.

“At that time, these poor statues will be crushed, and they are the only mechanism that opens the passage. If they are crushed, the entrance to the passage will never be opened again…”

After speaking, the riddler began to laugh nervously again.

“So, you must solve the riddles of the four statues within four minutes, remove something specified on the statue, and the passage will automatically open. If you can’t do it, your action tonight will fail.”

I saw the riddler pressed the remote control again, and immediately stretched out two manipulators from outside the wall, grabbed his shoulders and took it out.

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

Naturally, I heard the words of the riddler.

After the Riddler’s transformation, only the mechanism inside the statue can smoothly open the passage, and even the people in the passage can’t open it.

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

“Edward Nigma is trying to kill us?”

A shadow warrior was indignant.

Knowing that they are still guarding the underground laboratory, the Riddler actually made such an agreement with Kidd, simply using them as a bargaining chip at 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 looked calmly.

“I knew that Edward would design this kind of organization a long time ago, and even if I knew it, I still have to come in.”

“Kidd must not be allowed to steal the nuclear bomb, for which I am willing to sacrifice my life.”

“Sorry, you bother to die here alone with me…”

Seeing Talia so determined, the Shadow Warriors couldn’t help but move.

They knelt down in front of Thalia and said in unison: “It is our honor to be able to die with the contemporary master ninja, we are not alone!”

“May the sins of the world dissipate from now on…”

Thalia’s eyes were slightly moist, but she was well hidden.

“Bain, it seems that the person who needs to sacrifice in the end is really me. I hope you don’t do stupid things. After today’s affairs are over, you will leave Gotham…”

Thalia secretly said in her heart.

“But… Kaito Kidd may not lose to the Riddler, so I can’t be optimistic.”

When the figure of the riddler disappeared on the fence, the countdown began.

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

It is the statue of aristocratic young woman.

I saw a newly engraved sentence appeared on the chest of the statue of the lady.

“I can’t be bought, but I can be stolen at a glance.”

“I am worthless to one person, but invaluable to two people.”

“What am I?”

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

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

Fifty-seven seconds left.

Kai thief Kidd’s brain is spinning fast, thinking about possible options.

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

Outside the wall, the riddler waited confidently.

In his opinion, Kidd has only two endings.

Either be squashed by the wall, or escape before being squashed.

And these two endings only prove one thing, and that is that Kaito Kidd can’t solve the puzzle set by the riddler at all.

There is a huge difference in wisdom between the two.

“I see!”

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

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

And as a symbol of love on the statue, naturally only the ring worn 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 into green light.

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

Kidd kept running and came to the statue of the young nun closely connected with the statue of the lady.

There is also an engraved riddle on the nun’s chest.

“I am two things that are separated from each other and closely connected. One cannot be used without affecting the other.”

“You can feel you even if you can’t see it, and be felt by you.”

“What am I?”

At this moment, the deep inside Kidd, the thief, just wanted to point to Nigma’s nose and shout at him: “The Riddler Get out of Gotham!”
