Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 165: Death Knell (third bomb)

Gotham, the old town.

Near the center of the riverfront, McGieson and Pamela gush from the ground.

It is very close to Miller Harbor, and even the top of the riverfront center overlooks Miller Harbor.

At this time, the curtain of night has dissipated, and the sun of dawn shone on the ground.

"Where are we going now?"

Pamela asked eagerly.

"Robinson Park."

McGieson said flatly.

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

Pamela tilted her head and didn't understand what McGieson meant.

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

"what!"

Pamela frowned.

Before she could refute, McGieson continued.

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

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

McGinson's rhetorical question left Pamela stunned.

"So, the best thing you should do now is to get back to Robinson Park as soon as possible. It's best to find Barbara before she leaves."

"All right."

Pamela murmured dissatisfiedly.

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

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

At this time, McGinson took out the three riddles of the riddler.

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

If you want to ask his personal opinion, he only feels that these three riddles are not ordinary.

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

This is different from McGinson’s sometimes puns for insurance, the riddler’s answer is usually just a noun.

As for whether this term is related to the event itself, it depends on how big your brain is.

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

The real problem is how to connect the answers together.

And this is exactly what he is thinking about.

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

The answer is-time.

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

The answer to this mystery is-individual.

So, what does time and individual represent?

What is the connection with the Cavaliers Arena?

The time may be matched with the timer. What does that body mean?

Last night, McGieson never figured out this problem.

But later, when he looked beyond the Knight Dome and expanded to the entire Gotham, he really suddenly became clear.

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

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

The first thing McGyson thought of was the clock tower in the old town of Gotham.

That's right, his purpose in coming to the old city is to see the clock tower, maybe the third riddle will be solved there.

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

McGieson thought of wounds, gaps, drill holes... the riddle was a bit broad, he couldn't figure out the mind of the riddler.

Only when you come to the bell tower can you make the next guess.

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

Barbara is not in the park!

And there is no trace of Barbara slept in it all night.

Pamela had a bad heart, and immediately closed her eyes to connect her spirit to the surrounding plants.

This allows her to see the sporadic pictures from last night.

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

This man is the death knell!

The fight between the two did not take too long, because Barbara was obviously lost to each other.

It didn't take long for Barbara to be chopped on her arm by the death knell.

In Pamela's sight, after Barbara knew that she had lost the death knell, she begged to retreat, turning around and running through the gap that the death knell had exposed when she was slashed.

She led the death knell into the trap set by Pamela's ability and successfully trapped the death knell, but it was only temporary.

Barbara didn't stay for a moment, and straightly escaped from Robinson Park.

The death knell unhurriedly broke free from the trap, and showed no annoyance or extreme emotions towards Batgirl's escape.

He just walked slowly following the trail of Barbara's departure.

Just like a very patient hunter, he will not attack until his prey reveals a well-known flaw...

At this time, the picture also shattered.

Pamela recovered.

"Someone is chasing Barbara, she is very dangerous now."

"Would you like to tell McGieson about this?"

After thinking about it, Pamela didn't choose to tell McGieson, but went to rescue Barbara by herself.

This is actually a very unwise decision.

Using abilities in the urban area during the day is likely to be seen by GCPD people. At that time, everyone will know that Pamela is the Plant Girl, and the peaceful life she finally got will no longer exist.

At this time, it is actually the best choice to ask McGeeson to rescue Barbara. With Pamela's help, McGeeson can come to Barbara in a timely manner.

Then there is the story of a cliché hero saving the beauty.

Maybe the paper on the window between McGinson and Barbara that hadn't been pierced would break like this.

Everyone is happy.

Pooh!

This may be the case under normal circumstances, but Pamela is very clear about the real crux of these two people.

Barbara hopes that the two who are in love can be honest with each other, and McGieson obviously hopes that each other can give each other more secret space.

So either McGyson can tell Barbara that he is the thief Kidd, or Barbara can completely ignore what McGyson hides from her, the two will truly come together.

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

Not to mention that McGyson is now shouldering the important task of saving millions of people in Gotham, and Pamela cannot be distracted in public or private.

It's definitely not because of worrying that McGieson and Barbara have confirmed the relationship, Pamela himself is really hopeless for this reason.

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

Until I entered the Giordano Botanical Garden in Burnley.

"Barbara is as smart as ever."

Pamela smiled satisfied.

With the death knell tracking technology, it is only a matter of time to keep up with Barbara, so before the death knell can find her, you must let others find yourself.

That is Pamela.

Barbara knows that Poison Ivy can observe things through plants, and the probability of Pamela finding herself in the botanical garden can be greatly increased.

It turns out that she was right.

Pamela did find out where Barbara was hiding soon.

But the bad news is that the death knell has also reached this neighborhood...
