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

Since the Bat Lantern didn't stop him, he must be able to make amends.

This is Lucian's confidence in the bat creature.

"Let's leave this topic for now and talk about laughter."

Beneath his feet was a grayish-white building, ancient and aged, like a seriously ill and lifeless body, while the red flames burning in the distance were like blood flowing through the body...

It carries the oxygen necessary for life and removes old pollutants.

……

Faced with these, the most distressed are those righteous people who were protected by the Silent Bat and have been ready to take action.

Harvey Dent, the Knight of Light who did not become Two-Face, now works as a prosecutor in court.

"The mob set fire to the bank and robbed the vault... We'll discuss this after we find all the defendants. The problem now is... your evidence is insufficient to prove that the so-called 'murderer' in prison who assassinated the district governor and the banker is the actual murderer."

The director standing before Harvey was completely daunted. "The confession, fingerprints, signatures, and even the recording of the statement are all here... If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"I have reason to believe you guys tortured me into confessing." Harvey raised his eyes. "Unless they're superhuman, they couldn't have crossed Gotham in half an hour and killed the victim so quietly without any grudges."

"Perhaps it was a collaborative murder... or do you know who the murderer is?"

Harvey knows who the murderer is, and the director also knows that Harvey knows who the murderer is - it's Silent Bat. They are playing an open card, and the director is betting that Harvey will not be able to prosecute Silent Bat at this juncture.

As expected, Harvey lightly skipped over the topic and simply said, "Finding the murderer is your job, and preventing injustice is our job."

The director looked at him and asked, "How are we going to explain this to the victim's family?"

"It's your problem too."

"You're going to regret this, Dante."

"Wait and see."

……

It didn't take long for those poor guys who were sent to the black gate with the name of "murderer" to be released... They should be thankful for the police's negligence. They were too lazy to even look for the "murderer" in the same position as the victim, and completely ignored the feasibility of the crime.

"Dent, you idiot!" The director finally couldn't control his emotions. "Fuck justice! So high-sounding! I want to see how he's going to end it!"

Harvey should not appeal at this time. The first thing that group of people did after coming out of prison was to join the group of people who were looting, and the second thing was to attack the police station and the procuratorate.

The status of the police station will plummet. Without police officers, there will be no one to maintain order.

"Mess! Mess!" The director paced back and forth in the office. He wanted to get help from his superiors, but he knew in his heart that with the main traffic artery bombed, the Alliance's control over Gotham became very less. But if this continued, the police station would be destroyed, which was obviously not what he wanted.

That's not what the league wants either.

"I have another idea." The captain who was standing quietly behind him spoke.

"what?"

"The army," said the captain, "station the army."

"The army?" The director frowned and looked back at him.

"Yes, as long as we report the situation here... Gotham has a tendency to become independent and lean towards the Soviet Union, the army will be stationed there. Not only will they suppress the mob, but they will also be able to maintain our position."

The director listened, thought, and soon smiled. He stepped forward and patted the captain on the shoulder:

"I knew you were talented when you helped solve those cases before. That's great. The deputy director will be retiring soon, and I'll recommend you to take over the position."

The director adjusted his badge, which clearly read "Edward Nygma".

——Riddler.

Edward slowly stretched the corners of his mouth, smiling without showing his teeth.

……

Zawen came out of the prison in a wheelchair. His eyes were dark purple, he was very thin, and the joints of his feet were ulcerated.

After being framed and imprisoned and clearing the charges, one will receive some financial compensation. Unfortunately, the prison is private and the police are busy with the negotiations... No one expects that the money will actually be paid out.

Zaven looked back at the closed prison gate, feeling dazed - his belief in revenge had made him endure pain and bullying, but now he was out.

He lowered his head to look at his festering feet—he didn't know what he should do again.

The people around him were just like him, standing there, more or less bewildered.

Unfortunately, there was no one at the scene who could tell them the target eloquently, so after a moment of silence, they dispersed in groups of three or two. Zawen also turned his wheelchair with his hands and walked laboriously on the bumpy road.

He thought: I should go find Batman, I should go help him.

But where to find it?

Zaven looked down at his feet again, still feeling a little hateful.

Then I was confused again.

It was raining and dark clouds were gathering overhead. It was autumn and the air was getting even colder.

……

Lucian was a little scared of the wild laughter. Who wouldn't be afraid of "everything is going according to plan"? -22 also left a big psychological shadow on him.

But he also knew that since the wild laughter appeared, he couldn't ignore it... It was impossible for him to meet Lucien just to trick him.

"Do you have any good ideas? A good way to revive Jack?"

At least this can prevent the Silent Bat from turning against you and backstabbing you at a critical moment.

Bat Lantern said, "Aren't you worried that this is part of his plan?"

Worry, of course you worry.

Lucien even suspected that the wild laughter would be resurrected in Jack.

"That's why I'm asking you—Bats always have a plan."

Chapter 202 Love to hear and see

The bat holding the lantern said, "You need to think."

"You mean I said something clumsy to make people laugh?"

Batman knows that the Joker is particularly good at undermining other people's self-confidence, making them hesitant and anxious.

He wanted to comfort Lucien and give him confidence, so he said, "You did very well."

"what?"

"Be braver."

"What are you talking about?" Lucian frowned. "I'm asking about the plan, not compliments."

“So you have to think for yourself.”

Lucian raised his eyebrows. "That sounds like a parent letting their child ride a two-wheeled bicycle without their hands."

The Bat Lantern is a tacit acceptance of this metaphor.

"But one thing you have to know is... I might fail, and the probability is not small." Lucian pointed to his temple. "Besides, even if I succeed, it will be within your guidance and your plan."

"Even if you want me to improve, honestly, it's not as simple as telling me 1+1=2."

When it comes to the Bat-Joker, formulas are useless; wisdom is subjective.

……

Compared to the likes of Batman, Joker, and Laughing Maniac, Lucian wasn't necessarily smart. But he wasn't stupid. Often, he had a premonition of what was about to happen. He was able to respond simply, avoiding complete defeat with no chance of recovery.

But this does not mean that he has the ability to actively plan something, and Lucian also has this self-knowledge.

"Go for it," said the Bat Lantern. "You probably don't realize your strengths."

"The most surprising thing is your unpredictability," he said. "Even if the prerequisites and process are given to you, there is only one path. Your subjective consciousness is not intentional, but the final behavior and conclusion are always surprising."

“That’s your advantage.”

Sometimes it's logical, sometimes it's aimless.

The fact that he is not smart is not a demerit. If he were really smart, the story would be boring.

Lucien looked at him for a long time, and finally said, "I'm no longer at the age where I need praise and red flowers to be active in class."

"Just the truth."

truth.

Lucian sneered inwardly, then thought for a moment, "What if I wanted to copy Jason's resurrection?"

Unexpectedly, Bat Lantern said, "Very interesting."

Lucian blinked, "You didn't understand me. It was copied from Arkham Jason."

In Arkham Knight, Jason Todd was trapped in the Arkham basement by the Joker for a year and a half. After Deadshot rescued him, Jason developed resentment towards Batman, but to the Joker who tortured him, he "knelt in front of the hospital bed and asked Batman why he didn't save him."

Bat Lantern was silent for a moment: "...That's interesting too."

Lucien couldn't help but burst into laughter. After he had laughed enough, he said, "You know I wouldn't do that."

He wouldn't do that because he's not a pervert.

Without waiting for the Bat Lantern to continue, Lucian said, "I'll dig up Jack's grave while Blessing of Silence isn't paying attention, and then use the Dionysus factor to resurrect him. The only risk is that if the deed is exposed or the resurrection fails, I'll be tortured to death."

Therefore, to ensure that things go smoothly, we must divert the attention of the Silent Bat.

"You can confess."

If you confess to the Silent Bat, at least you won't be hindered by misunderstandings and you will also be able to get help.

"No." Lucian made an excuse: "What if I fail? Wouldn't it be a waste of joy? It would be better not to have any hope in the first place."

No one believed this when it was said.

He was simply having fun: Lucien thought, hoping that the Blessing of Silence would prevent him from resurrecting Jack, and ultimately failed to achieve his goal by preventing this action.

And later, the Silent Bat found out the truth.

Lucien really wanted to and was looking forward to seeing his expression at that time.

Regret? Anger? Despair? Self-blame? Confusion? Whatever it was, he was looking forward to it.

It was just a little concealment and a harmless bad taste, and Bat Lantern had no reason to stop it... He was born from Lucian's thoughts, so this little bad taste was nothing to him.
