Dimensional Invasion of the Real Earth

1614. Clown

Darkness and dampness will always be the mainstream of Gotham City.

It seems like it can only be like this all year round.

In the huge city, there are many tall buildings. Even during the day, it is very difficult for sunlight to penetrate these steel forests.

This is a symbol of modern civilization and the greatest tragedy of modern civilization.

The densely packed high-rise buildings constrain the humans inside, reducing them to worker ants one after another in a cubicle.

They are trapped in it, and they can only yearn for the countryside outside Chengshi, but they know better that they can only yearn for the sun-spreading land outside the city, because the high price is definitely not something they can afford.

The greatest prosperity in their depths is also the largest group of low-level people in Baektu Sea. The apartments one after another like honeycombs are their only way back.

They were once proud of this, but they also understood over the endless time that this was the most deadly poison.

In these densely packed high-rise buildings, the scenery at the top will never be open to them. Even the Joker, who once became the spokesman for the bottom of Gotham City, discovered for the first time that the sunshine at the top is so beautiful.

After Qinglong Liu Hao performed a simple 'negative emotion dispelling technique', the clown understood that he could not continue to pretend to be crazy.

He also found that Qinglong Liu Hao didn't seem to pay attention to his thoughts at all, as if he completely ignored him after doing this, and turned around to continue tossing those bottles and cans.

He scanned the table next to him and saw one mark after another.

These labels are so detailed, and the colors in the corresponding test tubes are so beautiful.

It is clearly telling the clown that every sentence on the labels of these test tubes is so sincere, telling him that as long as he drinks from one of the test tubes, he can obtain the corresponding superpowers.

The clown's heart beat violently at that moment, but he soon calmed down.

"This is a trap!"

The first thought in the clown's mind was this. He glanced at the busy Qinglong Liu Hao with his peripheral vision, and found that the other party really didn't take him seriously. These test tubes in front of him often gave him a choice. Real temptation.

"Do I need superpowers like this?"

This was the clown's second thought. If it were the clown in the past, he would have only ridiculed him. He thought he was playing with his IQ. That bat looked awesome, so he was playing around with it?

But now, the Joker has to think more. He still failed in the end. In this era where heroes are judged by success or failure, even if he doesn't want to admit it.

He was isolated from the world after being captured, but it did not mean that he lost his ability to think. If he took a peek, he could understand that all his plans still came to nothing in the end, and Gotham City was still the Gotham he knew and was completely solidified. city.

The more clown-like one is, the more indelible it will be once the 'ideal' is established in one's heart.

Because such people are often the biggest paranoiacs. Once a goal is established, they will never choose to avoid it if they hit a wall.

In Qinglong Liu Hao's understanding, in the eyes of the clown, the bat is just the spokesperson of the vested interests, the biggest beacon in Gotham City, and an object that must be destroyed. He even doesn't even take the bat in his eyes. , I don’t think it is an enemy, but a stumbling block on the way forward.

This is very arrogant, but it is very consistent with the character of the Joker.

After taking off his makeup and putting aside the two scars at the corners of his face, Qinglong Liu Hao saw the clown as just a middle-aged man who had gone through vicissitudes of life and had been bent over by life.

Just like the vast majority of middle-aged people in society, they are also the largest group of "honest people" and can be bullied most of the time.

But once these honest people go crazy, that is the most terrifying thing, because they have completely abandoned the past and will only use their ruthlessness to the limit, often only to fight to the death.

At this time, the clown was like an honest man who had been sealed. After calming down, he still looked "fair-faced" and had a unique sense of honesty. There were even some whiteheads in his messy hair, showing his past. vicissitudes of life.

But compared with an honest person, the clown's calmness is just to increase the madness again, and his madness will only move to one step after another until his soul is burned out. What he needs is even a moment of brilliance. , he has been addicted to this crazy path.

Qinglong Liu Hao is not worried at all that the Joker will not be able to become one of the characters on the Gotham City stage after he is released.

Just like the various abilities he showed in front of the clown, the clown will still make a choice after all.

This is a guy who can do whatever it takes to win. Having no scruples is the clown's biggest characteristic. The so-called weighing of gains and losses will never appear in the clown's dictionary.

Among these test tubes, there is one specially prepared by Qinglong Liu Hao for the clown. The word 'bewitch' written on the label has caused the clown to lock his eyes on it again and again, even if he restrained himself countless times. It still made his hands tremble slightly. Even if he turned his head, he had to make sure that his peripheral vision did not stray away from the test tube.

After a long time, he finally held the test tube in his hand.

The clown is crazy, but most of the time, he is the calmest one.

To say it is crazy is nothing more than the things the clown does that make it difficult for most people to agree with him.

He is said to be calm. Since he can act crazily and effectively, he must have a plan that can be advanced step by step, and the plan must have a calm and intelligent brain.

This obviously shows that when the clown thinks, he will definitely weigh his past gains and losses, as well as the immediate pros and cons.

In the confrontation with the bat, he was the loser, and he could only be the loser, because the disorder he wanted did not appear in Gotham City, and it only brought fear to the higher-ups. But after the fear, he was not Peacefulness?

In the prison mental hospital, the clown has too much time to think. Even if he is confused a lot of the time, the occasional sober time is enough for him to measure.

Being an intelligent man, he understood that he was guilty of the arrogance that most intelligent people exhibit.

That is to say, he looks down on others too much and thinks that he can use his smart brain to control everyone. Instead, he pushes many people who could have been his own to the opposite side, forcing him to become the target of both black and white.

He knew that he had made a big mistake of fighting alone, so that if he failed, he would not even be able to find a scapegoat. If he made a mistake, he would only be regretted for eternity.

This is his first introspection. It does not mean that he now thinks that he needs to unite more people, nor does it mean that he must be friends with those stupid guys and form an alliance.

The arrogance in his heart did not allow him to do this, but how to make the best use of these scum.

Anyway, it is impossible for him to feel sorry for these scumbags. Even if they are used as disposable tachyons, it is just waste, right?

His second reflection was that he believed that there was a gap in his advancement plan. He wanted Gotham City to become a disorderly city, but he also understood that it seemed too violent to completely overthrow the original order.

He had previously underestimated the dependence of all major strata on inertia, and knew that most people did not dare to take a gamble completely.

Because even if most people are at the bottom, they still don’t have everything, and they will still worry about losing even three or two coins in their pockets.

Most of them have become numb. He himself was a member of the group, so he naturally knows all about the inner weakness of these people;

The reason why he became the Joker was because he was forced to a real dead end at that time?

Since I was able to be forced to become a clown, why can't most of you at the bottom be the same?

He felt that all he needed to do was to push forward on the numb nerves of these people and let them know that they were already standing on a cliff with no retreat and there was nothing they could lose. .

All he has to do is create more 'clowns'.

Even though he knew that the 'Joker' he created could only be inferior, the kind of garbage that would explode into cannon fodder if he went crazy.

He thought it was no big deal either.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. From another perspective, it is better to treat these inferior 'clowns' as a single spark, so that their 'ignite' can inspire more people at the bottom. Bring these people at the bottom back to reality from the edge of complete numbness, and let them truly understand that there is no hope of continuing like this, and it will continue to happen generation after generation.

Only in this way can they dare to take a real gamble, whether it is for themselves or their descendants, as long as they can achieve their own goals, and the direction is consistent with what they hope.

Moreover, the emergence of these low-quality 'Jokers' has an unexpected benefit, that is, it announces the return of the real clown, telling the bat in Gotham City and those high-level officials that the 'clown spirit' has never existed in Gotham City. has not disappeared.

He knew that that group of people had a heartfelt fear of this spirit, which they believed must be destroyed. Therefore, more energy must be invested in this, so that he could have more time to calmly lay out the plan.

He is looking forward to a new game, but he also understands that he needs time to get a true understanding of Gotham City, to see what changes have taken place in Gotham City after he was imprisoned, and to see what he has been feeling in his heart. Do hidden forces exist?

There is such a scary nursery rhyme circulating in Gotham City: "Beware of the Court of Owls, always watching your travels. Peeping at Gotham City from the dark, hiding in the attic with low walls. He is with you in your home, and he is also present in your bed. . Never mention his name, the sharp claws will come after you. "

In the dark Gotham City, there is such a legend. Legend has it that there is a group of dark walkers in the night of Gotham. They control this dark city. In this city, anyone who defies their will will be destroyed by the talons of the owl, even if you are the ruler of the city. The same goes for the Wayne family.

The Joker now doesn't think that the 'nursery rhyme' that has been passed down in Gotham City for hundreds of years is just a simple nursery rhyme. During the confrontation with the bat, he also vaguely saw the mystery that was secretly revealed, but the time was too short. So much so that when he tried to learn more, he failed completely.

It was because of the mysterious 'Court of Owls' that he kept reminding himself of in the back of his mind that the Joker understood that his biggest enemy was not the bat he couldn't stand, and that there was a high probability that the bat was just Gotham City. It’s just a fat sheep in history;

Once the Owl Court deems it disobedient, it will be slaughtered easily.

It was because of this feeling that the clown's third thought was born, which was to understand the importance of 'power'.

During the Three Kingdoms era, Dong Zhuo was beheaded by Lu Bu, and his men fell apart. They only wanted to donate money and escape, but Jia Xu made them clearly understand the essential difference with one sentence.

Without power, even if you are extremely rich, any pavilion chief can do whatever you want.

On the other hand, with power, even if you torment Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, you can still be prosperous and wealthy.

This is also true, the clown feels like this at this time.

This is the clown's transformation from a smart person to a wise man. This kind of clown is what Qinglong Liu Hao wants to see.

Fighting alone, even if it sets off huge waves in Gotham City again, is just an arm-wrestling with some people. It is nothing more than entertainment and cannot change the overall situation.

Qinglong Liu Hao doesn't want to see such a stage play. What he wants is subversion. Even if it's a stage he built casually because he was bored, he also hopes to see the fierce battle in it.

The clown also understands the importance of having power. Just because he is crazy and ignores life and death does not mean that he is willing to put himself in danger all the time.

On the contrary, he understood the joy of pushing others to the stage while sitting back and watching the show. Why didn't he want to become another Court of Owls in the nursery rhyme?

He believes that he must become a real big shot, and he must appear at the last moment.

He was the one who had been struggling for a long time. Even if he couldn't see clearly why he was in this laboratory, and even if deep down he still felt that the test tube in his hand might have hidden dangers that he was unaware of, he still made the decision without hesitation. choose.

To put it bluntly, he didn't want any pavilion chief to control him so hard that he could only surrender if he found him.

After experiencing a failure, he knew that he had no chance of failure anymore. Once he failed, the only thing waiting for him was real 'hanging'.

Since we must succeed, it would be good to have even a little more power in our hands.

Furthermore, from the moment he saw the word 'bewitch' on the label of the test tube, there was always a thought deep in his heart reminding him that it was the one that suited him best, as if it was a superpower created just for him, and only he could use it. to achieve maximum efficiency.
