Chapter 23 :The Riddle

Jigsaw said in a low, magnetic voice, "Hey Charlie, I want to play a game with you."

 "You are addicted to theft and have stolen other people's labor wealth countless times."

 "You satisfy your own desires, but you harm the lives and minds of the victims."

 "Now, you need to choose between your life and your fingers."

 "What you have in your head is called Jaw Splitter, and it's sixty seconds long."

 "If it is not opened during this period, you will become the fourth corpse."

 "And the way to escape is very simple, just use the knife below to cut off the four fingers of your left hand."

 "If you live or die, you decide for yourself."

 Charlie listened in shock. After finishing, he unconsciously touched his body.

 Sure enough, there was a sharp knife.

 "You... who are you? Let me out quickly!!"

 He screamed in panic, but received no response and could only watch time pass.

 I don't really understand what's going on though.

 But the three corpses were actually lying next to them and there was no room for hesitation.

 Use all his strength to cut the iron chain?

 Dang-dang!

 However, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

 No matter how much I cut it, the chain did not suffer any damage, there was not a trace left.

 After all, he could think of such a loophole, so how could Jigsaw not think of it?

 Since he dared to put down the knife, he had already ruled out this possibility.

 Fifteen seconds have passed at this moment.

 Seeing that his plan failed, Charlie stopped wasting time and turned to look at his left hand.

 There was a fierce fight inside.

 Do you want to cut your fingers? !

 If you cut it, you will become a useless person and may not survive.

 But if you don't cut it, you will definitely die miserably.

 "FUCK—FUCK!!"

 After thinking for a few seconds, he became cruel, swinging the knife hard and cutting off his left hand.

 The fingers are important, but insignificant compared to his life.

 We must cut!!

 This knife is definitely specially polished.

 Although human bones are not as strong as steel, they cannot be cut lightly.

 But when he stabbed, half of his index finger was immediately broken!

 "AHHHHHHH!!!"

 Charlie immediately let out a piercing scream, almost fainting from the pain.

 But the matter was already at this point, it was whether he could live or not, and there was no time to cry in pain.

 He gritted his teeth and cut off the other three fingers one after another with a certain death mentality.

 With so much determination and endurance, being a thief is really a waste.

 Stabbing pain, gushing blood.

 Charlie's face was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were bloodshot, his veins were swollen, and his whole body was trembling.

 It almost hurts to death.

 Fortunately, his jaw splitter unlocked with a click at the same time as all four fingers were cut off.

 He's really out of danger!

 His lifespan made his adrenaline surge so much that he even ignored the pain.

 Just joy, excitement, excitement.

 He covered his left hand, rolled and crawled away from him quickly.

 Seeing the figure walking away from him, Jason, who was secretly watching, did not chase him.

 This was the original plan; Otherwise, the difficulty would not have been reduced.

 Now that he achieved his goal, he did not stop and left quickly.

 Fifteen minutes later.

 The police have cordoned off the area and have begun a thorough investigation and collection of evidence.

 Abandoned apartment.

 Three decomposing corpses.

 Strange accessories.

 All of this made Gordon's face look more and more ugly.

 Damn! Have you been quiet for a few days?

 Before the matter between Scarecrow and Ghost Face was resolved, another strange case appeared!

 At this time, the technician said: "Boss, the TV series can be turned on."

 Gordon said: "Okay, turn it on quickly and take a look."

 When they heard the sound of the puzzle, everyone stopped working and looked up.

 Looking at that strange and terrifying face, everyone seemed surprised.

 Gordon frowned even more and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

 This... who is he?!

 Another mask! Does it have anything to do with that ghost face?

 He couldn't understand it, but he knew the matter was serious.

 Then he said sternly: "Everyone, this matter must not be leaked, understand? This is an order!"

 Whatever happens, suppress the matter first and never report it to the media.

 Otherwise, it will only worsen the case.

 "YES SIR!"

 The other policemen nodded in agreement.

 They also knew what was at stake in this matter, so it was best not to reveal it.

 Otherwise, before the Ghost Face case is solved, another mysterious killer appears, the state government blames him, and there will be no good consequences.

 "Okay, continue the investigation, I'll go to the hospital."

 So Gordon left first and went to the hospital to find Charlie again to understand the situation.

 When they finished, it was already three in the morning and the identities of the three bodies had been discovered.

 After reading it, he thought for a moment.

 Then comparing them to Ghostface's victims, they're actually bad.

 "Is it really a coincidence?"

 Gordon narrowed his eyes and thought deeply, seeming to have grasped some key points.

 ...

 8:30 in the morning, restaurant.

 Jason listened to the news while he was busy, and sure enough, there was no report on this matter from the beginning to the end.

 This was also expected.

 If he can't wait to tell the media, then the police will have a problem.

 But Jigsaw wasn't in the news, but a supervillain was.

 That's the Riddler!

 It was reported that a brutal murder occurred yesterday in the Diamond District and a strange mystery was left in place.

 The police knew the killer was Riddler.

 But I can't solve the riddle, so I search Gotham for clues.

 Anyone who can decipher it will receive a reward of $20,000.

 And the enigma is the following: They can't buy me, but they can rob me with a look. I'm worthless for one, but I'm worthless for two. That I am

 This enigma provoked a heated discussion.

 Even Hathaway cocked her head, wondering what the answer would be.

 Jason was also thinking about it and felt that he had seen this puzzle before.

 But when I saw it and what the response was, I can't remember.

 At that point, Hathaway said, "Jason, what do you think the answer to the mystery should be?"

 She shook her head: "I don't know, it seems very difficult."

 "Yeah, it looks like we can't get the $20,000."

 Hahaha, let others earn it."

 The boss next to him intervened: "You two should not think about being able to do it, that money should be mine."

 The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing he was just joking.

 As far as his IQ goes, he's basically like a fat guy who can't even count.

 After work Jason returned to the apartment, closed the doors and windows and transformed into Jigsaw.

 Then he thinks about the riddle of the day. After all, Jigsaw is a very smart assassin and he seems to have seen this puzzle before.

 With double BUFF, cracking is faster.

 "They can't buy me, but they can steal me at a glance."

 "I'm worthless to one person, but priceless to two people."

 He muttered a riddle, and his brain was thinking of things that met the conditions.

 List them one by one and then exclude them one by one.
