"Life's full of questions, isn't it, Batman? Though, naturally, I prefer to think of them as riddles."

―The Riddler

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The design of the prison part is very simple: a corridor aisle next to a parallel single room, inside which are various villains.

These single rooms seem to be nothing but transparent glass. You can see each other inside and outside, but ordinary glass can't do it if you can get close to these guys. They are special materials.

"The riddler, the two-face, the clay face, Harley Quinn, the killer croc, the scarecrow, the ventriloquist...it is a lot of talents."

Jude called out their names one by one as he walked, but there was no one in the hallway, which was strange.

"Who is there?"

"It's strange that the air is talking."

"Is that guy Hugo's new toy?"

"Get out, crawl!"

The riddler slowly got up from the bed, and his eyes flicked back and forth cleverly: "Which Mr. Invisible is it? I am Edward Nigma, they call me the riddler."

Jude walked to the riddler's prison looked at the unkempt, thin man, and said, "Nigma, I heard that you like guessing very much. Why don't you guess what I am doing in Arkham?"

The riddler's eyes looked right and left, seeming to be looking for Jude's position, and he said while watching, "It's very simple. A free man comes to Arkham for two purposes."

"The first is for Batman or Gotham City. You need our old opponents to trouble that bat so that you can implement your plans."

"Secondly, a new batch of experimental subjects arrived just a few days ago. You must be there for them. Let me guess, there are your friends or family members, right?"

Jude couldn't help but nod in praise. The guy in front of him was thoughtful and an intellectual opponent of Batman. He guessed his intentions when he met him.

Who knows? The riddler continued: "You are silent, then it proves that I guessed correctly; let me guess again. Which of these two purposes is true? I prefer the second."

"Why?"

"Because you are a newcomer."

"What does that mean?"

"I have never heard of an invisible man in Gotham. This shows that you are a newcomer and can use invisible technology. I think you have a high IQ, and you are likely to be a scientist."

"Think about it: would a high-IQ scientist badass give up the fun of beating that bat exclusively? This is impossible, especially when you have not tasted the taste of failure."

"You can only be extremely arrogant, thinking that you are surpassing everyone, just like me, right?"

"So if I think you can never come for Batman and Gotham, then the answer is very clear: you want to save people but don't know where they are locked up; you need help."

Happiness!

Jude patted his palms: "Very wonderful reasoning, Nigma; your psychology is very good."

"Thanks for the compliment; I seem to be right."

"Very correct, so who can tell me now, where is the so-called Arkham?"

The riddler laughed and said, "Even if it is here, not everyone has been there. Mudface, Harley Quinn, and the double-faced people don't have this honor, but I do."
