I write novels in Liyue

The coffee cups on the table reflected a soft glow in the sunlight.

In the book, Batman has already arrived in Gotham and is fighting Faconee's criminal organization.

Fear lingered in the hearts of every criminal.

"A bat mask and a black cloak? That does seem like a good choice. It would reduce the risk of exposure and allow me to blend into the darkness and remain undetected."

Diluc rubbed his forehead, muttering to himself with a headache, "However, it does look a lot like me. No wonder so many people think of me when they see it... I hope the differences will be greater later, otherwise there might be a lot of trouble later."

With a long sigh, Diluc picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and turned his gaze back to the Batman movie lying quietly in the sunlight.

I roughly understood why so many people liked reading Fang Qiu's books.

I also understand why her books are so popular and loved by so many people.

It is indeed very well written.

Not to mention the writing style, which makes people feel as if they are seeing it with their own eyes, giving them the feeling of seeing a copy.

It even surpasses the experience of printing.

Judging solely from the content expressed in the first volume.

Whether it's the legal considerations, the reflections on human nature, or the contemplation of social structures, all are perfectly integrated into the main storyline of Batman.

Although the story recounts Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman, it also constantly criticizes the corrupt Gotham City and prompts readers to reflect deeply.

It can be said to be an absolutely superb work.

In addition to these, Fang Qiu also wrote in the book about how a soldier overcomes fear.

To face fear is to become fear.

This reminded him of the first time he faced a monster when he was a child.

At that time, he was so nervous that he couldn't even hold the sword properly.

Now, like Batman, he has become a source of fear not only for the Abyss Order, but also for the criminals of Mondstadt.

This made him look forward to the sequel to the Batman story.

However, he felt somewhat uncomfortable when he saw the plot involving the death of Bruce Wayne's parents.

He disliked that feeling of powerlessness and despair.

This reminded him of many things from the past that were buried deep in his memory and that he was unwilling to talk about.

Thinking of this, a complex look appeared in Diluc's eyes.

He downed the coffee in one gulp, the bitter taste of roasted coffee immediately filling his mouth.

After a brief silence, he picked up the book again and continued reading.

The story then moves on to the second volume.

The Dark Knight.

The story begins by picking up where Gordon left off with the Joker card, with a group of robbers wearing clown masks robbing a bank.

During the robbery, whenever a companion completes a task, he is killed by another companion waiting to carry out the next task, in order to reduce the number of people sharing the loot.

Simple and efficient, decisive and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

Even Diluc frowned slightly upon seeing the extent of these people's evil.

Throughout the process, they kept mentioning one name.

clown.

The guy called Joker, who can command criminals of this caliber, is probably no ordinary person...

Fang Qiu, who looks so gentle and weak, is actually able to write about such a bloodthirsty criminal?

Not only did he think so, but everyone in the Cat's Tail Tavern thought so too, and for a time they were all talking about it.

"These criminals wearing clown masks are ruthless; they kill their own comrades. And this chaotic and disorderly killing makes me feel uneasy..."

"These criminals kill as naturally as they drink. No wonder it's Gotham. I can only say that Batman has a long way to go."

"Drinking as naturally as you do? Shouldn't it be said that it's as natural as sleeping and eating?"

"Aren't drinking, sleeping, and eating on the same level?"

"As expected of you, great minds think alike. Come, have a drink."

As everyone discussed, they continued watching, while Yura glanced at Fang Qiu with surprise.

Facing the gazes of Yura and Diona, and listening to the discussions of the crowd, Fang Qiu could only smile helplessly.

Gotham City, with its simple and honest people, is a place where many talented people emerge.

The comics by Batman feature a whole host of vicious criminals, with characters like the Penguin, the Riddler, and Mr. Freeze being minor figures.

In many works, Batman has even fallen from grace.

For example, the Laughing Bat series.

However, speaking of riddle tellers...

Fang Qiu couldn't help but think of a meme.

Riddler, get out of Gotham.

So they continued watching. The bank robbery went very smoothly. Because every step was so meticulous and seamless, Fang Qiu even heard people talking about it.

"If I hadn't seen Fang Qiu with my own eyes, I would have even suspected that she had actually robbed the Northern Bank."

Fang Qiu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

I was reminded of the author that Kujo Sara kidnapped back in Inazuma.

It seems that he was suspected of being a spy for the Fools because his descriptions of espionage activities were too realistic, and he was arrested and investigated.

Moreover, the investigation revealed that he was indeed a spy for the Fools.

There were many similar cases in previous lives.

and so……

Will I be taken away for investigation as well?

It shouldn't be that bad, right?

All the criminals, in a chaotic and disorderly manner, slaughtered each other until...

Until only one remains.

Faced with the bank manager's questioning, the last remaining criminal stepped in front of the manager and stuffed a bomb into his mouth.

"I believe that what doesn't kill you will make you even stronger..."

At this point, the criminal paused, reached out and removed his mask, but beneath the terrifying mask was an even more bizarre and horrifying face.

His wrinkled face was painted deathly pale, and his eye sockets were sunken and withered black.

What's even more eerie is that his mouth looks as if it's been cut open with a knife, and he seems to be smiling strangely all the time.

Even the written narrative, combined with the chaotic and frenzied killings of the criminals, sent a chill down the spines of many readers present.

In the book, the Joker continues his speech.

"Even more bizarre."

Chapter 574 Stop talking, Miss Fang Qiu doesn't like it, be careful of being hit with a pencil.

The bomb the clown stuffed into the bank manager's mouth was connected to a wire, which in turn was connected to the car.

The bomb will explode if the wire is pulled.

The clown returned to the car, which slowly drove away.

The bomb has been detonated.

Just when the bank manager and all the readers present thought that the bank manager's head would be blown to pieces like a watermelon, the bomb did not explode; instead, it emitted thick smoke.

This terrified the manager so much that he collapsed to the ground.

The Joker then drove away.

The description of the character's calm and nonchalant attitude amidst his chaotic madness, coupled with the superb writing style, made everyone who read it feel a chill, even the resting members of the Knights of Favonius felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

It would be terrifying to encounter such a criminal in real life.

You'll never know what this kind of person is thinking...

One moment they might be laughing and joking, the next they might be filled with murderous intent and start killing.

In the book, the scene shifts.

News reports featured an interview with the mayor, in which he said the police would soon apprehend Batman.

Below this news article is a smaller, more localized news item.

A media outlet reported that a person was found at home with six stab wounds to the back, and preliminary investigations suggest it was a suicide.

In the police station, the chief didn't care about the matter at all.

The rooftop of the police station.

Jim Gordon was using lights to project the bat logo into the dark night sky.

However, Batman did not arrive as expected.

The subordinate asked.
