The screen showed the disappeared medical staff, while the Arkham patients who were guarding them were wearing blue hospital gowns and holding weapons.

As the dean, Sharp could naturally recognize that those people were the criminals who were under strict supervision on the second floor, and the doctors and nurses who were taken hostage were all panicked and huddled together with their backs.

"Director, the weapons in the hands of those prisoners should have been taken from the guards. Those colleagues may..."

Gordon looked serious, knowing that the situation was running out of control.

The radio beside him was still playing the words of the patient named Ivan mentioned by Edward, "These guests are having a lot of fun at the party. I guess you also want to reunite with them as soon as possible?"

Although the other party's tone was joking, everyone present could hear that the other party took those staff members as hostages.

"Dean Sharp, can you tell where these people are?"

Gordon asked Sharp, preparing to let the guards go there first to rescue the hostages.

"Let me see. Judging from the environment around them, they should be in the lounge on the first floor."

Sharp did not argue with Gordon and immediately told him the location of the hostages.

Gordon was also a little surprised to hear that everyone was on the first floor. He had seen that Arkham Asylum had a total of three floors outside. He did not expect that these people were not locked up on the third floor, but on the floor where they were.

They came to an airlock door. Sharp originally planned to open it with facial recognition, but found that the machine next to it had been destroyed. Now the only one who could control the door to open was the person in the control room.

Just as they all retreated and planned to blow the door open with explosives, a disapproving voice came from the radio.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the guests are too rude. How can they destroy the host's door? Fortunately, we have a patient who really wants to greet you. If he agrees, I will open the door and let you meet the person you want to see~"

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, the radio line was suddenly switched to a weaker voice.

"Oh, my old friend James Gordon, do you still remember me?"

Commissioner Gordon, who was named, immediately raised his head and looked around sharply.

"Riddler!"

"Bingo! Long time no see. Without my riddle, is Gotham City getting more boring?"

A restrained and calm voice sounded above everyone's head, which was completely different from the slightly crazy tone of the previous one.

"Okay, we can talk about the greetings later. You need to solve my riddle before this unknown patient will open the door for you."

"I haven't seen you for so long, how come I don't know when you will be commanded by others?"

Gordon calmly said something, but in fact he was secretly contacting Batman.

If it was just a riot of ordinary patients as they thought at the beginning, the police alone could indeed suppress it, but now the situation has changed. Since the Riddler has been released, most of the other super criminals sent in by Batman should also be free. This is a major event that will affect the safety of the entire Gotham City residents!

Now is not the time to ask for the mayor's consent. If things are not controlled now, the Gotham City, which has finally regained its peace, will fall into dire straits again.

"Oh, I am also very sensible. Only by listening to him can I get out of this damn insane asylum. If you promise to let me leave here, I can turn against you."

Not caring about his words being heard by Xie Qi, the Riddler said in front of everyone that his position was not firm.

"This is impossible, Riddler."

Gordon was not confused by the other party's words. As the criminal with the highest IQ in Gotham City, he did not believe the Riddler's words. The two had many intersections when they were young, and he was framed and imprisoned by the other party. Gordon would never allow the Riddler to have the opportunity to leave Arkham Asylum.

"That's a pity."

The Riddler's tone was not as regretful as his words, "Then try to solve my riddle, if you don't want anyone to get hurt."

After the words fell, the criminals on the screen seemed to have received some instructions and pointed their guns at the hostages on the ground.

Only when he mentioned the riddle did the Riddler's tone become full of energy.

"I can be broken, even if no one handles it. I can be given and then taken away. Some people use me to deceive, but if it comes as promised, I will be the best gift-"

The riddle with an operatic accent came out from the radio, and everyone present frowned.

"What am I?"

Edward, who had been silent, thought for a while, and then said firmlyHe said, "It's a promise."

"Correct!"

"Gordon, you are really old. You were always the first to guess my riddles."

The Riddler stepped on Gordon, then ignored them and said to another person, "Did you hear me? The answer to this riddle?"

"Oh, of course, I will fulfill my promise. By the way, your riddle this time is too simple. If you want to get off work quickly, at least pretend."

The voice at the beginning sounded again, saying to the Riddler in a teasing way.

"I was discovered. There is no way. I haven't smelled the smell of freedom for a long time. I am a little anxious."

"The riddle has been solved. You should fulfill your promise, right?"

Gordon was in no mood to listen to the conversation between the criminals. He was anxious to rescue all the hostages.

"Of course, the road to the party is open. Please come in, guests."

The airlock door in front of everyone was opened, and it can be seen that the rows of doors in front were also opened at the same time.

They were not stopped along the way and entered the lounge smoothly.

The inside looked the same as what they saw on the screen. Even the patients with guns did not retreat. When they saw them breaking in, they immediately raised their guns and shot.

However, due to the unskilled operation and the guards wearing bulletproof vests, only one or two guards were shot. The other guards rushed forward and successfully suppressed the scene.

When the medical staff saw someone coming to rescue them, they all burst into tears. After their gagged mouths were freed, they all began to thank the members of the guards.

Edward also stepped forward to help Miss Grace, who was also tied up, and asked her how she felt.

Just as Gordon signaled the guards to take all the hostages out, the broadcast that had been silent for a while sounded again.

"Oh, what a touching reunion scene. Although I would like to give you some time to digest this joy, I am afraid these guards don't have that much time to wait."

The TV in the lounge was suddenly turned on, showing a room in which the missing guards had fallen into a coma. At the same time, it also showed the countdown for the poison gas injection: 10 minutes!
