Similarly, there was another person who also turned his attention to this matter.
Jonathan Klein.
At the same time, he is also the Scarecrow in the hearts of the Gotham people.
If the riddle left by Riddler cannot be guessed, the most direct victim is only City Councilor. Even if the people of Gotham have emotions, they are only insignificant indignation.
As for the riddle left by Jerome, if no one can guess the correct answer, the direct victim may be anyone!
An explosion could occur anywhere on Gotham City.
In other words, the explosion may occur in the city hall, or in any Gotham street, or even in any public toilet!
This made all the people in Gotham unable to help but fall into fear.
No one knows whether the explosion will happen around them.
Although the source of this fear emotion does not originate from Jonathan, he can absorb all fear emotions. As for the source of the fear emotion, it does not matter!
Therefore, in an instant, the fear that had gradually diminished as the Gotham situation gradually stabilized surged again!
Jonathan instantly absorbed a large amount of endless fear emotions again!
This made Jonathan overjoyed.
And not only that, Jonathan also discovered that as he absorbed more and more fearful emotions, he unlocked more ancient fears - Fiddlesticks's ability. At the same time, the range of his ability to absorb fearful emotions was also gradually growing and expanding!
The current scope not only includes the entire Gotham City, but also exceeds the scope of Gotham City.
Just because there are not many human settlements outside Gotham City, the fear does not increase significantly.
But if one day in the future the scope can be expanded to other cities, or even the entire earth, he will be able to absorb the power of fear at all times, and the number will also increase exponentially!
As for whether the scope can be expanded beyond the earth...
Jonathan hasn't dared to think about this yet.
However, these are things for the future. For the current Jonathan, while feeling the fear that was constantly coming from all directions, Gotham made a decision silently.
Go find Jerome!
It is not necessary to cooperate, but at least to ensure his safety - although Jonathan does not think that after Jerome loads Hero Template, Gotham ordinary people, including the police, can pose any threat to his life.
But just in case!
Jerome is simply a natural fear generator!
As long as he is around, there will be a steady stream of fear, and you will be the beneficiary!
If someone wants to take action against Jerome now, then there is no need for Li Wei to take action, he will not agree to it!
While Jonathan was packing his equipment, he collected the Fear Gas that he had just created not long ago into smoke bombs. Then he changed back to his original appearance, and after disguising himself, he went out...
Jerome on the other side, after completing the "identity authentication" live broadcast in the Wayne Enterprises building, was respectfully sent out by the manager of Wayne Enterprises.
The respectful attitude of the other party made Jerome, who was not in a normal state of mind, couldn't help but wonder whether he wanted to hijack Wayne Enterprises, or whether the other party invited him to come...
Gotham Are you crazy?
Maybe...
However, Jerome did not dwell too much on this issue.
To him, it's better to be crazy, and it doesn't matter if he's not crazy.
Jerome led a group of subordinates back to the stronghold provided by Galvin.
Just like last time, Galvin watched the whole process of Jerome's troubles through live TV.
At this time Galvin is waiting for them to come back in the stronghold.
The first time he saw Jerome, Galvin immediately greeted him.
"Jerome, where do you plan to cause the explosion? How powerful is the bomb?" Galvin asked anxiously.
This is his biggest concern now.
Although he was the one who asked Jerome to go out and make some noise, he didn't want to bring disaster to himself.
Not long ago, he agreed to invest in Gotham Reconstruction Plan.
Although the main purpose is to get revenge on Wayne family, all the money spent is real money!
Gotham City has many reconstruction projects that he invested in. Once Jerome detonates bombs in these projects, he will also suffer a lot of losses!
"It's powerful... it can only blow up a building." Jerome had a signature smile on his face and shrugged indifferently. Then he turned to look at Galvin with a strange look in his eyes, "Where did the bomb detonate? Of course it was Wayne Enterprises's factory, or was it in your factory?"
"Wayne Enterprises, just Wayne Enterprises..."
Galvin was relieved.
Then he finally realized that he was a little petty and compensated, "It's not that I can't afford the loss, it's just that I think it would be more reasonable to detonate it at Wayne Enterprises..."
Jerome still has his iconic smile on his face, making it impossible to guess whether he noticed Galvin's forced respect...
To this day, although Jerome does not wear the mask of the Joker, the weird and crazy iconic smile on his face is not another mask?
Finally, Galvin asked Jerome curiously, as if he suddenly remembered.
"Jerome, what is the correct answer to the riddle you left?"
Regarding Galvin's question, Jerome just shook his head gently and said, "You will know tomorrow."
Galvin Now that the location of the explosion has been confirmed, he did not stay here any longer. He was afraid that he would become mentally ill if he stayed here for too long.
Galvin considers himself a successful person. Regarding this group of mentally ill people, if he doesn't need them as "steps", he doesn't even want you to have any contact with these lunatics.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Galvin in one sentence - he scolds the cook when he puts down his job!
However, obviously, Jerome doesn't care about Galvin's attitude, to him.
No matter what Galvin thinks, it will not affect his final outcome.
Because it was already doomed ever since Galvin made the plan to burn bridges across rivers.
Jerome and Riddler caused an uproar in the hearts of Gotham people.
At this time, the Gotham police station naturally did not have any leisure.
Not only were Wayne family housekeeper Alfred calling to put pressure on them, but Gotham City's government office was also busy with calls from Director Barnes's office!
Almost all the powerful people in Gotham called, and they had one and only one common appeal.
That is to arrest Jerome as soon as possible!
There is a threat of explosion at any location, just like the Sword of Damocles, which not only makes all people lose their sense of security and fall into fear.
The same goes for these powerful people.
They are even more afraid of death than ordinary people!
Under multiple pressures, even the new director Barnes felt that Alexander...
But thankfully, the Gotham police station today has become monolithic internally after going through various crisis screenings.
So this Director Barnes only needs to face external pressure.
Almost most of the police officers were sent out by Barnes to search for Jerome in Gotham, trying to capture him before tomorrow.
Another small group of police officers were sent by Barnes to search for bombs in various important buildings of Gotham.
There are only 24 hours at most until tomorrow. If you want to check all Gotham City, there is obviously not enough time.
He could only make this decision to try to minimize the losses.
Of course, those poor ARGUS members were also mixed up with the police at this time, and they went to check for bombs first.
Amanda Waller gave them the order to pretend to be police officers until they found traces of people with supernatural abilities.
Therefore, in order to disguise their identities, these ARGUS members can only work hard and perform tasks together with other real police officers.
No one would have thought that a billionaire businessman who had just invested in Gotham Reconstruction Plan would be the mastermind behind the scenes...
Naturally, no one would go to investigate Galvin, a billionaire businessman.
If it weren't for the relatives of the city councilor who were still crying, making trouble and hanging themselves in the director's office, almost everyone would have forgotten the origin of everything - Riddler.
But except Gordon.
Gordon still remembers the city council member who was kidnapped by Riddler.
This time, he did not doubt Li Wei and Arkham Asylum.
No matter from the perspective of Jerome, who is suspected to be related to Arkham Asylum, or from the modus operandi of Riddler, there is no doubt about Arkham Asylum and Li Wei.
But Gordon and Harvey once again embarked on the journey to Arkham Asylum.,
"Man, since you think Riddler's kidnapping of City Councilor has nothing to do with Arkham Asylum, then why are we still going?" Harvey muttered while driving. "With this time, we might as well check where the bomb might appear."
Although he encountered a major case again, Gordon's face was undoubtedly much better at this time.
It seems that since Barnes took over as the police chief, Gordon finally no longer needs to tie his hands. He only needs to concentrate on investigating the case and no longer needs to consider the pressure from his superiors and colleagues.
Hearing the complaints from his partner Harvey, a glimmer of wisdom appeared in Gordon's eyes.
"Looking for the bomb? Do we have any clues? Are we going to investigate like headless chickens?" Gordon shook his head and said, "Rather than try your luck to find the bomb, it is better to go to Arkham Asylum to try your luck. I think the probability is greater."
Although to this day, Gordon still suspects something is wrong with Arkham Asylum and Li Wei.
He can't even figure out what camp Li Wei is...
But Gordon knows one thing, that is, Li Wei knows a lot of information that others do not know.
When the entire Gotham police station had no clues, Li Wei even directly told him the address where there was no criminal - although to this day he has not figured out how Li Wei knew it.
Now Gordon only hopes to find out from Li Wei where the bomb was planted this time.
"Okay, okay, I hope you can win this time..." Harvey continued to mutter.
Just when the whole Gotham City was stirred up again because of Jerome.
Arkham Asylum.
Li Wei is paying attention to another person - Barbara.
As the order of Gotham is gradually restored, there are fewer and fewer new dead souls, and even now there are only a few appearing a day.
Li Wei simply put the time to collect the black mist at night. It only took less than an hour, enough for him to harvest all Gotham's new dead souls.
And he has more time to focus on these key goals.
At this time, Barbara has been imprisoned at home by the serial murderer.
"I just hope there is someone who can truly understand me and have the same interests as me..."
The serial murderer sat elegantly on the chair, trimming his nails with a knife, and said to Barbara who was sitting across the dining table.
To be precise, Barbara is not sitting across from the dining table, but is tied to the opposite side of the dining table.
"... So, dear, is there anyone you want to kill? I think we can take the first step."
The serial murderer put down his knife and asked Barbara sincerely.
Barbara looked at the man opposite, with a look of horror in his eyes.
She naturally knows her current situation.
Barbara certainly knew that the other party was not trying to scare her or make a joke.
As a native of Gotham, especially her father was a Gotham prosecutor. When she was in middle school, she had heard about a serial murderer in Gotham, and the police department had never solved the case.
The other party has disappeared for nearly ten years. Everyone thought that the serial murderer was no longer alive, but they did not expect that the other party would reappear again.
And he actually found me!
Before, the other party just invited me to his home for dinner, but Barbara didn't expect that.
Under the gentleman's appearance, there is actually a demon-like animal face hidden!
The other party drugged the meal, and when he woke up, he was tied up by the other party.
