Chapter 165 Death Knell (Part 3)

Gotham, Old Town.

Near the Riverside Center, Maggieson and Pamela emerged from underground.

This place is very close to Miller Harbor, and you can even overlook Miller Harbor from the roof of the Riverside Center.

At this time, the night has dispersed, and the dawn sun shines on the ground.

"Where are we going now?"

Pamela asked excitedly.

"Robinson Park."

Maggieson said in a flat tone.

"Robinson Park? But Robinson Park is not in the old town."

Pamela tilted her head, not understanding what Maggieson meant.

"I'm talking about you, Pamela, you should go back to Robinson Park as soon as possible, and I will continue to stay in the old town."

"What!"

Pamela frowned.

Before she could refute, Maggieson continued.

"Barbara didn't find Gordon at the GCPD headquarters yesterday, and you didn't come back all night, so she will definitely come out to look for you today."

"We have told Gordon that Barbara is here. It won't be long before they meet. What will you do then?"

Magison's question stunned Pamela.

"So, the most important thing you should do now is to return to Robinson Park as soon as possible, and it's best to find her before Barbara leaves."

"Okay."

Pamela muttered dissatisfiedly.

Under Magison's gaze, Pamela reluctantly left the underground again and returned to Robinson Park.

"Now, it's time to solve the mystery of the riddle."

At this time, Magison took out the three riddles of the riddle man.

What no one knew was that when he finished the riddle yesterday, he already knew what the answer was.

If you ask him for his personal opinion, he just thinks that these three riddles are not ordinary nonsense.

But no matter how nonsense, there is only one correct explanation.

Unlike Maggieson who sometimes leaves puns for insurance, the answer to the riddle is usually just a noun.

Whether this noun is related to the event itself depends on how big your imagination is.

It is not difficult to guess the answer. Maggieson is sure that Gordon has solved at least one or two riddles.

The real difficulty lies in how to connect the answers together.

And this is exactly what he is thinking about.

"You are trying to find me. When I am lost, you struggle to get me. What am I?"

The answer is - time.

"I can be a member of a group, but I can never fit in. What am I?"

The answer is - individual.

So, what do time and individual represent?

What is the connection with the Knight Dome?

Time may be matched with the timer, but what does the individual mean?

Last night, Maggieson had not figured out this problem.

But later, when he set his sights beyond the Knight Dome and expanded to the entire Gotham, he really had an epiphany.

The only thing that best reflects the concept of time is a clock.

So without considering the third riddle, the place pointed to by the answer is an individual with a clock.

The first thing that Maggieson thought of was the clock tower in the old city of Gotham.

That's right, the purpose of his coming to the old city was to go to the clock tower, maybe the third riddle would be solved there.

"The more you cut me, the faster I grow. What am I?"

Maggieson thought of wounds, gaps, holes... This riddle is a bit broad, and he can't figure out the riddler's mind.

Only when he came to the clock tower can he make the next speculation.

On the other side, Pamela felt something was wrong as soon as she returned to Robinson Park.

Barbara was not in the park!

And there was no sign that Barbara had slept there for a night.

Pamela thought it was not good, and immediately closed her eyes and connected her spirit to the surrounding plants.

This would allow her to see sporadic scenes from last night.

Then, she saw Barbara fighting a man in a red and black tights.

This man was Deathstroke!

The fight between the two did not take too long, because Barbara was obviously no match for the opponent.

Not long after, Barbara was chopped on the arm by Deathstroke.

In Pamela's sight, Barbara knew that she was no match for Deathstroke, so she wanted to retreat, and took advantage of the gap left by Deathstroke when she was chopped and turned around to run.

She led Deathstroke into the trap set by Pamela with her ability and successfully trapped Deathstroke, but this was only temporary.

Barbara did not stop for a moment and escaped directly from Robinson Park.

Deathstroke slowly broke free from the trap, and did not show any regret or excessive emotions about Batgirl's escape.

He just slowly followed the traces of Barbara's departure.

Like a very patient hunter, he would wait until the prey showed a well-known flaw before he would attack...

At this time, the picture also broke.

Pamela came back to her senses.

"Someone is chasing Barbara, she is in danger now."

"Should I tell Maggieson about this?"

After thinking about it, Pamela did not choose to tell Maggieson, but went to rescue Barbara herself.

This was actually a very unwise decision.

Using her abilities in the city in broad daylight would most likely be seen by the GCPD, and then everyone would know that Pamela was Poison Ivy, and her hard-earned peaceful life would no longer exist.

At this time, letting Maggieson rescue Barbara was actually the best choice. With Pamela's help, Maggieson could come to Barbara very promptly.

Then it was a clichéd story of a hero saving a beauty.

Maybe the window paper between Maggieson and Barbara that had never been broken would be broken like this.

Everyone is happy.

Pah!

Under normal circumstances, it might be like this, but Pamela knew very well the real crux of these two people.

Barbara hopes that the two lovers can be honest with each other, while Maggieson obviously hopes that they can give each other more secret space.

So either Maggieson can tell Barbara that he is Kaito Kidd, or Barbara can completely ignore what Maggieson has hidden from her, and the two will really get together.

As for whether the two can meet the corresponding requirements now, Pamela dare not guess casually.

Not to mention that Maggieson is now responsible for saving millions of people in Gotham, and Pamela cannot let Maggieson be distracted for both public and private reasons.

It is definitely not because she is worried that if Maggieson and Barbara confirm their relationship, Pamela herself will really have no hope.

So, Pamela kept tracking Barbara's escape route through the perspective of plants.

Until entering the Giordano Botanical Gardens in Burnley.

"Barbara is still as smart as ever."

Pamela smiled with satisfaction.

With Deathstroke's tracking technology, it was only a matter of time for him to catch up with Barbara, so before Deathstroke found her, he had to let others find him first.

That is Pamela.

Barbara knew that Poison Ivy could observe things through plants, and being in the botanical garden would greatly increase Pamela's chance of finding her.

It turned out that she made the right bet.

Pamela did find Barbara's hiding place very quickly.

But the bad news is that Deathstroke has also arrived nearby...
