Laughing American comics, I am becoming more and more like a clown

Jenny:…

Lucien: I don't mean to blame you. In fact, I don't mind these things happening... If I really made up my mind to live with you, I would tolerate it too.

Jenny: ...Then why?

Lucien: Because I realized that this is a mental illness, it is not love, just like how I feel about you, I don’t love you either, you are just my emotional sustenance.

Jenny: I don't care! As long as you don't leave me, I don't care!

Lucien: Shh, of course I know about this, so before I leave, I'm going to kill you.

Jenny: ...and then? Will you come and keep me company?

Lucien: I can't.

Jenny: No!

Lucien: But the whole world will come to accompany you.

Jenny:…

Lucien: Okay?

Jenny: ...Okay.

(The above is a conversation between Jenny, who became Harley Quinn, and the Joker before he destroyed the world.)

Anyway...

There is only one reason for all the hype:

I can't bear to give up my royalties. Three thousand yuan, ah, three thousand yuan more a month, life would be so much better. (This is the only humble wish of a poor college student)

HumbleJPG.

Chapter 172 The Silent Bat

Bad news: Bruce's parents are dead.

Good news: I didn't kill him.

……

The rain fell in lines on the awning and came in through the glass, dull and drowsy.

Lucien put down the newspaper and stirred the coffee beside him with a spoon. The porcelain clinked against each other, making a crisp sound.

Although the newspaper was yellowed, the black words were still eye-catching - "The Waynes died at the hands of mobsters, and Bruce Wayne was adopted by the Elliots."

Okay, it's the Silent Bat.

Lucian remembered the subsequent plot development: Bruce Wayne was sent to a mental hospital, and then successfully turned into a madman under the treatment of Scarecrow, and learned all the Batman skills from six mental patients. He was trapped in Arkham for ten years and successfully took revenge with the help of Alfred and Jack Napier, who was not the Joker.

……

Isn't it just cultivation?

Lucian said it was so easy.

Little Bruce is the most typical success case.

……

It's just... this is a newspaper from twenty years ago.

Meaning, the bat has killed someone and exacted revenge.

"..."

Lucien took a sip of coffee and said, "Still playing with shit."

"Dear God of Time, Observer who travels through darkness and light, the great Fijianet... Let's switch universes, even if it's a little earlier in the timeline."

No one responded to him.

Putting down the coffee cup and tugging at his hair, Lucian cast his gaze outside - towards Central City: "Or... Barry, can you help me out?"

……

Unfortunately, in this world where Batman has turned evil and Gotham is the main plot point, the other heroes are like invisible, some are dead, and some are gone.

In this world, not only was the Flash not born, but even Superman's Kryptonian spaceship turned into a dazzling firework outside the solar system.

……

Lightning struck the sky, illuminating the night outside. Lucian saw a black figure standing on the top of the Gothic tower through the glass window.

Silently curse: struck to death by lightning.

"Boom——"

The lightning struck very close, but was absorbed by the higher lightning rod. The black shadow blended into the night intact. The thunder came late, huge and loud, as if hitting the eardrum.

"..."

The clock on the wall pointed to nine o'clock in the evening. Lucien finished his last coffee, left the top floor, and took the elevator to his hotel room.

Yes, the hotel is downstairs.

Or to be more precise, the cafe is on the top floor of a high-rise building.

This is a cafe famous for its overlooking Gotham. It charges a high fee and is especially suitable for tourists to take photos and check in - but not many people come to Gotham to take photos and check in.

After discovering that he could catch a glimpse of Batman here, Lucian rented a room downstairs for a long time and occasionally looked for him in the cafe.

……

He folded the newspaper and placed it on top of the bookshelf - all the newspapers collected from the newspaper office were already collected.

Although of no use.

……

it works.

……

For example, Lucian is portrayed as a detective who is aware of the existence of the Silent Bat and deduces his movements and true identity based on clues.

For example, Lucian is portrayed as a middle school boy who wants to participate in maintaining peace in Gotham, has a mysterious origin, is not very cunning, but is a die-hard fan of Batman.

Does the character sound familiar?

That’s right, it was copied from the script of Timothy Jackson Drake, the third young Wayne in the main universe.

Moshimoshi~

(The Japanese word もしもし means hello, and Lucian is playing a pun here.)

----

After the Hunchback kidnapped all of Gotham's elites, led by Gotham's richest man Elliot, to the Batcave, he quietly completed his rule over the city.

His presence is subtle, yet he knows Gotham as well as the Bat-Demon did centuries ago.

The fact is, when Lucian set foot on the land of Gotham, the Silent Bat noticed his presence.

Quietly watching this stranger, including his search, analysis and observation of himself.

"He will soon discover your true identity, sir."

Alfred's voice came from the headset.

The Silent Bat was still standing where he was just now. The bandages on his body were wet by the rain and stuck tightly to his skin. He looked at Lucien's room from afar and said in a hoarse and dull voice:

"He already knew my true identity. He was trying to assemble a logical chain that was feasible and convincing to me."

Alfred didn't question this: "Want to expose him?"

"No." Silent Bat said, "It depends on what he wants to do."

Across the rain and the distance, Lucian on the other side had already finished a simple shower, changed into pajamas, sat on the bed, then took out a notebook from under the pillow and diligently carried out reasoning.

The sound of the pen sliding across the paper, combined with the sound of rain, creates white noise.

The biggest beneficiary of Elliot's death was Alfred, the former butler of Wayne Manor. Alfred had once fought with the Elliots for custody of Bruce Wayne.

Bruce Wayne died in Arkham Asylum - Arkham Asylum is where Batman committed his first murder.

【…】

finally.

[Bruce Wayne completes his revenge on Elliot with the help of his butler Alfred and becomes the current Gotham Batman.]

Lucien put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, put the notebook back under the pillow, turned off the lights and drew the curtains.

I looked towards the spire in the darkness and silently said "good night".

As for the spire, the Silent Bat had long disappeared.

----

The presence of the Silent Bat in Gotham is really weak. The factor that induced his birth was just Elliot's conspiracy and persecution. Now Elliot has been killed by him.

This bat has no thoughts of upholding justice nor releasing evil... He just stands on the tower and watches over the city at night.

Just watched, never took any action.

Lucian couldn't figure out his thoughts - what a joke. The Silent Bat comics only wrote about his road to revenge, there was nothing to learn from.

We can only try.

……

Use a camera to capture real images of the Silent Bat and upload them to the website.

It was just blurred and deleted, and the Silent Bat did not come to the door.

I recorded another audio clip unwillingly, but the result was still the same.

……

Then Lucian boldly organized the analysis process and evidence into an article and submitted it to Wayne's newspaper.
