31 Chapter 31 : Wayne Building
" So no matter what I say about my killer supervillain dad and his tights-wearing buddies, it just looks like more tabloid schlock. I've cried "Wolf"! or "Leaked nude selfies"! or "Scandal"! too many times. So now I'm on my own. And the bad guys expect me to just disappear down the memory hole? Spoiler Alert: no damn way."
— Spoiler
Stephanie Brown is the vigilante Batgirl, forming one half of the Batgirls with Cassandra Cain. Daughter of the villain Cluemaster, she fought criminals like her father as Spoiler, before a brief stint as Batman's crime-fighting partner Robin. She is a member of the Batman Family and Young Justice

"The building of this maze is different from what I remember before. It should have been remodeled. Be careful; Nigma must have set up a lot of traps," Bruce said.
"I don't need you to tell me because it's here."
With Jude's voice, there was a buzzing sound from the fork in the road ahead, and a dark shadow flashed across the wall; it was a small drone.
"Go away!"
Bruce pushed hard against Jude's shoulder, and the two hit the wall at the same time. At the same time, two barrels suddenly protruded from both sides of the drone, and the dense bullets directly left two burn marks on the ground.
Two bat darts were thrown out, drawing a weird arc to cut the barrel of the drone in half, followed by a laser shot, blasting the little guy into pieces.
The two continued to move forward and came to a fork in the road.
Jude frowned. "Three paths, but we are only two; how do we choose?"
Bruce said, "Don't worry; based on what I know about Nigma, there must be a mystery hidden here."
Sure enough, when I approached, I found that there was a word carved on the ground at the entrance of the three roads.
Left: Gordon is here.
Middle: Gordon is not here.
Right: Gordon is not on the left.
Only one of the three roads is right, and only one road is true.
Seeing this question, Jude almost laughed out loud. For them, this kind of pediatric logical judgment question is not even entry-level, and the correct answer can be obtained by just a little hypothetical reasoning.
First of all, if the sentence on the left is true, then the middle is false. Gordon is not here. In turn, Gordon is here. The left conflicts with the middle, so it is excluded.
Secondly, if the middle sentence is true, then the left is false, and Gordon is here and Gordon is not here, and Gordon on the right side of the road is not on the left, and Gordon is on the left, conflicting left and right. Exclude.
And if what is written on the right is true and the left is false, Gordon here becomes no contradiction. Gordon is in the middle; it is a perfect fit.
"Go in the middle!"
Jude and Bruce said at the same time, then glanced at each other and continued along the road in the middle.
In Bat Cave, Alfred wrote the word K of Spades on the paper, and then he grasped the sparse hair that was easy to fall out and pondered.
"What are you doing? Alfred." Stephanie Brown, the batgirl, walked over and asked after treating the wound.
"Oh, Miss Brown, it would be great for you to come and help me guess the puzzle."
Stephanie said strangely, "Guess the puzzle? Now is not the time to play games!"
"No, it's not a game; it's a clue left by the riddler. The master just told me that there is a conspiracy behind these villains, and the answer is hidden in the king of spades."
Hearing this, Stephanie dared not neglect; she immediately looked at the three words K of spades written on the paper, and she was puzzled for a while.
"Alfred, is there a new gang called the King of Spades in Gotham City recently?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "There is not, or there is, but the scale is not more than ten people; otherwise, I will know."
"Then is there any place called the King of Spades? It may be a code name from a long time ago; you have a lot of experience; think about it."
The housekeeper shook his head again: "I'm pretty sure there is no such place."
"What about people? Isn't there a guy codenamed the King of Spades?"
Alfred still shook his head.
Stephanie couldn't help but grab her chin and say, "It's not a person's name, not a place name, or a gang name. What does that mean?"
"Maybe we need a deck of cards."
"Do you want it? Seeing playing cards, I always think of the Joker."
"There is no other way."
In the maze, Jude froze the saw gear that suddenly hit with a shot and then kicked it to pieces. The two of them again came to a fork in the road. Above the middle of the road, a line of text was engraved.
Seeing that line of words, Jude suddenly felt a big headache because it was not written in English but in an unknown language.
"Bruce, do you understand alien languages?"
"This is Hindi. Although I don't understand it, it can be translated."
As he turned on the microcomputer embedded in the hand armor, a beam of light shot out and scanned the line of text. The computer instantly translated it into English: "Which way leads to the cafeteria?"
"Your suit armor has so many functions. If you can guess the puzzle, it would be better. Follow me; it's on the right."
"You don't need to say that I also know that Indians have always eaten with their right hands and used toilets with their left hands."
Sure enough, after the two entered the right passage, they did not encounter any traps. At this time, the image of the riddle appeared again.
"I admit, I underestimated you, Mr. Invisible Man. Your progress is beyond my expectations. The next puzzle will become more difficult. In addition, if you answer the wrong question, Gordon's time will be deducted for 15 minutes. Good, try harder."
"Nigma, you are cheating!"
"Cheating Haha, I set the rules. Whatever I say is the rule. Get ready to continue guessing."
In the bat cave, Stephanie spread a deck of playing cards on the table and arranged the suits in order.
"Do you see anything?"
A few minutes later, Alfred shook his head and said, "No."
Stephanie pulled out the king of spades and placed them separately. "What about now?"
The housekeeper took the poker cards in his hand and looked at them carefully for a while. "It's still not clear. As I said, I'm not good at guessing."
"Hey, I'm back, Alfred. What are you doing with King David?" Nightwing and Damian walked in.
"What?"
"The king of spades represents King David. It seems that you don't like to play cards."
Stephanie hurriedly said, "Which place in Gotham City is named after David?"
Nightwing couldn't understand what she meant for a while but still said, "Although there is no one named after David, there is a sculpture of him in the central square, okay?"
"Yes, the central square is the goal; go!"
Nightwing was confused and hurriedly grabbed Stephanie and asked, "Wait a minute, you have to tell me something."
Alfred hurriedly explained the situation clearly, but Nightwing was afraid to take it carelessly, and he immediately put on his headgear and prepared to set off.
"Wait a minute; I don't think it's there," Damian called out suddenly.
"There is another explanation for the king of spades. The king represents the king, that is, the ruler. The rulers of Gotham are the four families of Wayne, Elliott, Kane, and Cobblepot, corresponding to the four families. King K of a suit."
"And if the sizes are arranged in the order of suits, the spades are the largest, and they represent the strongest of the four families."
Alfred exclaimed, "It's the Wayne Building! The goal is the Wayne Building!"
Damian nodded. Early this morning, when Jude was talking about the Court of Owls, he also mentioned the four big families, by the way. Unexpectedly, the incident awakened Damian.
Stephanie frowned and said, "But what about the central square? There are a lot of people there."
"No, I firmly believe it is the Wayne Building!"
