I write novels in Liyue

"Hiss... Every time I read this kind of description in Fang Qiu's book, it makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

"My knee is a little sore."

"Uh, wasn't your knee shot with an arrow by a Hilichurl during your previous mission?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion as they continued watching.

At this point, the gang leader finally dropped his arrogant attitude and told Batman that no one would tell him where the Joker was.

Because Batman has principles and won't kill, while the Joker doesn't, and no one is willing to offend the Joker for Batman's sake.

There's only one way to find the Joker: take off your mask and let him come to you.

On the other side...

Harvey Dent also began his own interrogation.

He had lost his mind.

He decided to use heads or tails of a coin to determine the life or death of prisoners, in order to achieve the effect of torture.

Using vigilante justice.

Fang Qiu wrote this part of the story in great detail.

Even the way the light shone on Harvey Dent's face, dividing it into light and shadow, was depicted.

It perfectly expresses Harvey Dent's emotions.

And so, the coin took off.

However, when it landed in my palm, it was face up.

Justified Offender

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Harvey Dent said that this didn't count and that they had to do it again.

Ignoring the criminal's claim that he knew nothing, Harvey Dent once again tossed the coin that represented fate.

This time, however, the coin did not respond.

Because the coin was caught by Batman who arrived at the scene.

The appearance of Batman brought light back to Harvey Dent's face.

Batman tells Harvey Dent that if someone sees him taking the law into his own hands, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

The criminals will be released, and Jim Gordon's death will have been in vain.

Batman tells Harvey Dent that he will reveal his identity to everyone tomorrow.

Chapter 577 He lowered his head and remained silent.

At the press conference, Harvey Dent revealed that he was Batman.

He intends to use himself as bait to lure out the clown.

He had someone help send Rachel away, and then got into the prison van.

Police were heavily deployed along the route.

Batman is also secretly waiting for the right moment to act.

Finally, thanks to Gordon's faked death, they successfully captured the Joker.

Fang Qiu's writing of this story, whether it's the action scenes or the car chases, is full of tension. Reading the words is like being there, participating in the action, making the reader feel thoroughly entertained.

The scene where the Joker risks his life to bet that Batman won't kill anyone was particularly nerve-wracking.

"This part of the story was absolutely awesome!"

"The Joker almost won, but luckily Gordon was a step ahead."

"If Batman kills the Joker, the Joker will have achieved his goal. Once the rules and bottom line are broken, Batman will also think about killing other vicious criminals and thus fall into depravity."

"If it were just Batman alone, a Batman who adheres to his principles would have already met his end here."

The crowd discussed it.

Yura agreed with everyone's comments.

After all, a person's bottom line is either broken zero times or countless times.

She looked up at Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu was reading a book when she picked up her juice and took a sip. After finishing, she stuck out her tongue and gently licked the juice residue off her lips.

Yura was somewhat surprised.

The plot, the characters, the theme, and the terrifying writing style—it's hard to imagine that this Batman movie came from the pen of the innocent woman in front of me, who's drinking juice and reading a book.

And... it was a work she completed on her way to Mondstadt...

What kind of genius is this?

Thinking of this, she became even more curious about Fang Qiu and decided to find a way to have a deeper conversation with her.

She pondered as she looked down, while Diona's mind went completely blank.

In the book, Harvey Dent leaves by car.

The Joker was imprisoned, but when everyone applauded Gordon's great service and impending promotion to commissioner, the Joker also joined in the applause.

So Harvey Dent disappeared, and Rachel disappeared with him.

In order to find out the whereabouts of the two, Batman personally went to the cell to interrogate the Joker.

However, the Joker gave an irrelevant answer, telling Batman that he didn't want to kill him, but that Batman made him more complete.

To ordinary people, they are all freaks.

"Their morality and principles are a complete joke. When trouble comes, they don't care about anything. Of course, they're fine when things are peaceful, but let me explain. When it comes to a crisis, these civilized people will kill each other."

Seeing the dialogue between the Joker and Batman in Fang Qiu's writing, the Joker's crazy yet seemingly insightful words about the essence of humanity and his loathing for everything made everyone's pupils widen. They felt that they were almost convinced by the Joker.

In the Joker and Batman universe, a person who walks in the darkness and embodies fear might indeed be a freak like the Joker.

Because, although Batman always upholds justice, the people are different from those who read the book from a godlike perspective. Based on Batman's personal sense of justice, no one knows when things will get out of control, like a sword hanging over their heads, not knowing when it will fall.

It would have been better if the knife hadn't fallen.

But if Batman were to lose control, he would be far more terrifying than the Joker is now.

For a time, no one reading the book could find a reason to refute the Joker's point of view.

In the book, Batman gets angry and beats up the Joker, trying to get information about Rachel and Dent.

then.

The Joker presented Batman with a choice.

Either go save Rachel or save Harvey Dent.

Without hesitation, Batman rushed to where Rachel was, only to find Harvey Dent behind the door when he opened it.

He was fooled by the clown.

Batman could only rescue Harvey Dent.

However, during the explosion, half of Harvey Dent's face was burned off.

Rachel died.

At the police station, the Joker also managed to take Liu away by planting a bomb in his henchman's stomach.

Everything has returned to square one, or even worse.

"The clown's capture was also part of the plan... This cunning... It's terrifying. Even Zhuge Liang couldn't have been more brilliant..."

"If this clown were a normal person, he would be a top-notch strategist in the world of the Three Kingdoms."

"The Joker"

They had a truly penetrating understanding of the ugliness of human nature. Batman, Gordon, and Harvey Dent weren't just fighting the Joker; they were fighting the entirety of Gotham.

"It's hard to imagine that the person who wrote the Joker is the same person who wrote 'Tsuki ga Kirei'... The sense of disconnect is too strong."

"I wonder what other plans the Joker has up his sleeve... I'm kind of looking forward to it."

"Sigh... You're all marveling at the Joker's cunning, but am I the only one feeling sorry for Batman?"

"Now that you mention it, it really is... Rachel is dead..."

At this point, the previously lively atmosphere in the tavern suddenly turned quiet.

yes……

Rachel is dead...

After the Joker escaped, the butler picked up the letter Rachel had given to Batman.

The envelope wasn't sealed, which meant that the butler could also see it.

The butler took out the letter.

Rachel rejected Bruce Wayne's reply because Bruce Wayne could never leave Batman.

Bruce Wayne stood on the ruins where Rachel had her accident, the wind blowing his cloak.

He lowered his head and remained silent.

Not a word.

The mask obscured his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

However, in the darkness of night, his figure appeared exceptionally lonely...

"Hiss... This slash... feels a bit painful... Seeing Batman like this, my nose is getting a little sore."

“Rachel was like family to Bruce Wayne… so he didn’t hesitate from the beginning to save her. He had already lost his parents, and now he’d lost Rachel too… that must have been incredibly painful…”

“Miss Fang Qiu, this is a bit harsh… I originally thought it was a novel about the clash between good and evil, but I didn’t expect… there’s another knife in it…”

"Although Rachel doesn't intend to be with Bruce Wayne, I really feel sorry for him... He's lost so much... He gave everything to Gotham..."

“Damn it… I want to drink… My captain didn’t even have time to save his wife back then… I saw him kneeling in front of his wife’s body and crying for a long time. I still remember how heartbroken he looked in the rain…”

"Sigh... Have a drink, but don't drink too much, you haven't finished reading the novel yet... Speaking of which, does your captain read Fang Qiu's novels?"
