Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 291 Death of the Clown
Just when Damian thought he was about to be killed by the "maniacal laugh" in front of him, Roy said in a normal voice:
"You've been living with Bruce for a while, why are you still so reckless, you haven't learned to plan before you act at all."

After hearing Roy's words, Damian froze for a moment.

Laughing is Roy?
Although he recognized Roy's voice, Damian still couldn't accept this fact.

how to say?

Roy's actions tonight, in his opinion, didn't look like what Roy would do at all.

Although Roy was pretty freewheeling before, but tonight's wild laughter made Damian feel like a complete lunatic.

"Are you really Roy?"

"Why are you doing this?"

Damian asked with a puzzled face.

"This is not something you should inquire about. The binding effect on your body will disappear in about half an hour."

"I have sent the coordinates to Bruce in advance, and he will come to pick you up later."

After speaking, Roy ignored Damian and decisively cast Flash.

After solving the episode brought by Damian, Roy did not return to Kyle Manor immediately, but continued his actions tonight.

Using his knowledge, arrogance and telepathy, after killing those criminals who hadn't stopped, he unhurriedly returned to Kyle Manor with his flash.

Kyle Manor.

underground laboratory.

Roy first removed the "Laughing" suit on his body, turning the suit back into a bracelet.

Afterwards, she began to remove her makeup, cleaning up half of the clown costume on her face.

After finishing these, he said to Hancock:
"Invade major websites and TV stations, and then edit and play the scenes recorded by the battle suit just now."

"I want everyone in Gotham to know what happens to those who don't follow the rules."

"Okay, sir!"

Hancock replied immediately.

After taking off the battle suit bracelet on his right hand and placing it on the table in front of him, Roy cast a flash and left the laboratory.

……

the next day.

noon.

restaurant.

While tasting the lunch carefully prepared by the chef, Roy watched today's news headlines.

Just as he expected, his wild laughter, without any surprise, grabbed the headlines today.

As for the reports about the Joker and Batman, it was moved to the back.

Laughing wildly can make the headlines today. On the one hand, it was laughing wildly in the live broadcast room, crushing the guest's head in front of the audience, and on the other hand, it was the video Hancock edited last night.

Although Hancock didn't play all of Roy's action scenes last night, the edited clips are enough to illustrate the problem.

Unlike the Gotham police, the criminals who were targeted by Maniac Laughter last night were all dead without exception.

After the laughing action scenes were broadcast, no matter whether it was a good citizen who abides by the law, or a gangster and gangster who did evil, they all clearly understood one thing.

That is maniacal laughter is not a joke!

After reading the major media's reports on the laughter, Roy said to Hancock:
"Send a message to all the gangsters and underground organizations in the name of maniacal laughter, saying that I want to see the clown."

"If they can't find the clown before midnight tonight, tomorrow will be their last day."

It is not an easy task to find the clown who does not know where it is hiding.

However, that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with it.

Whether it's the Gotham police or Bruce, their method of finding the clown, in Roy's view, is a bit too benevolent.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the "reward"!
The best way to find the Joker is to ask all the gangsters and underground forces in Gotham to help find it.

The gangs and forces in Gotham's underground world are not very strong, but it is not very difficult to mobilize all of them to find one person.

"Sir, maybe there is no need to inform the gangs and forces in the underground world."

Hancock said quickly.

"why?"

Roy asked back.

"The clown is at the manor gate now."

Hancock continued.

what?
After hearing Hancock's answer, Roy froze for a moment.

"Project the surveillance in front of the gate."

"Okay, sir!"

The vibrating gold bracelet quickly projected a holographic screen, showing the surveillance in front of the gate of the manor.

Looking at the monitoring screen on the holographic screen, Roy frowned slightly.

Is it the deity?

Green messy long hair, casual clown makeup, purple suit.

From the outside, the clown in front of the gate was indeed similar to the image of a clown in Roy's memory.

But now he has no way to confirm whether the clown in front of the gate is the real clown.

"Open the door and bring him to the living room."

Roy said to Hancock.

"Okay, sir!"

After a few minutes.

The meeting room on the first floor.

Roy carefully looked at the clown sitting opposite him.

"Are you the clown?"

Roy said.

"No, I was laughing wildly."

The clown replied seriously.

amount……

"Just treat it as if you are real, what can you do with me?"

Roy continued to ask.

"You want to see me, so I'm here."

The clown said immediately.

This guy?
Although there was no way to judge whether the guy in front of him was the real clown from the breath of life, Roy's intuition told him that there was a high probability that the guy in front of him was the real clown.

"How do you know I'm just laughing?"

Although people who are familiar with him would suspect that Mang Xiao is him, but the clown is not familiar with him.

"Is it hard to guess?"

"There is no other guy who dares to kill people in Gotham with such a big fanfare except you."

The clown said quickly.

"Don't waste everyone's time, just tell me, what do you want?"

"If your answer is not very satisfactory, you should know how you will end up."

Roy didn't bother to guess what the clown was thinking, so he asked straightforwardly.

"Bruce's answer last night, you taught him, right?"

The clown didn't answer Roy's question, but asked instead.

"So what?"

Roy replied.

"Nothing."

"I just want to say that the advice you gave him last night was quite boring."

The clown said seriously.

"Boring? I don't think so."

For some reason, after chatting with the clown for a few words, Roy found that he no longer wanted to kill the clown immediately, but began to look forward to continuing the chat with him.

"It's not just boring, it's downright boring."

"You told him not to choose anything, just to let him take back the initiative, or to disrupt my game, so that I can't get satisfaction from this game."

"But unfortunately, you, like him, guessed wrong about my plan."

"I don't care how he chooses at all, and I don't intend to torture him on purpose, I just want to play such a game."

"Whether I win or lose, I don't care."

The clown said unhurriedly.

"If you really don't care, why did you release the phone recording later?"

Although what the clown said had some truth, Roy would not believe what he said so easily.

"Of course it's for fun."

"It seems that you, like him, thought that I was very interested in him and wanted to defeat or torture him."

"Your thinking is too low-level."

The clown shook his head and said regretfully.

"Low-level?"

"Then you tell me a high-level idea to listen to?"

Roy asked with a smile.

"If you want to know the answer, you can't ask others, you need to find it yourself."

"Forget it, since your performance last night is quite in line with my taste, I will prove it to you tonight."

The clown said quickly.

"tonight?"

"What are you going to do tonight?"

Roy frowned immediately.

"Don't be so impatient, you will know by tonight."

After speaking, the clown stood up and planned to leave the living room.

Seeing the clown get up and walk towards the door, Roy thought for a while, did nothing, and watched the clown leave the living room.

"Sir, do you need me to monitor his next whereabouts?"

Hancock's voice sounded.

"Need not."

"Since he said that he will prove it to me tonight, then he will act tonight, and there is no need to waste energy monitoring his whereabouts."

Roy said slowly.

"Okay, sir."

Hancock replied immediately.

Do you want to remind Bruce?
Roy thought about this question silently.

After thinking for a few minutes, he decided to do nothing.

Although he didn't know what the clown was going to do tonight, but one thing he was sure of was that he was indeed aroused by the clown.

……

time flies.

eight pm.

Roy and Selina are enjoying tonight's dinner in the restaurant.

At this moment, the major TV stations in Gotham all broadcast the same urgent news.

The clown is dead!

And it was killed by Batman in full view!

When hearing Hancock's report, Roy's first reaction was whether there was a bug in Hancock.

How can this be?

The clown only told him at noon today that he wanted to prove to him what an advanced idea is.

As a result, at night, the Joker was killed by Batman.

Leaving aside whether the Joker is dead or not, the fact that Batman killed the Joker in full view is not normal.

Don't kill the oath!

How could Batman, who had sworn not to kill, kill the Joker in full view.

This unscientific!

Very unscientific!

"What exactly is going on?"

Roy asked quickly.

Hancock did not answer, but projected the urgent news that was being broadcast.

Looking at the urgent news that appeared on Hancock's projection, Roy's expression became a little complicated.

The content of the news is very simple, that is, Batman and the Joker had a fight in Wayn Tower.

Then, the Joker was thrown off the Wayne Tower by Batman and fell to his death on the spot.

Something is wrong!
very wrong!

Roy's intuition told him that it was absolutely impossible for the Joker to die in Batman's hands so easily.

However, before he could tell Hancock to contact Bruce, the voice of the system sounded in his head.

"Main task: Fateful duel!"

"Mission content: Remain neutral in the confrontation between the Joker and Batman, and watch the fateful confrontation between the Joker and Batman from the perspective of the audience."

"Mission Reward: Super Vision and Heat Rays!"

"Mission Progress: Completed!"

"The task reward has been sent!"

……

This……

Completing the task is indeed something to be happy about, but Roy is not happy at all now.

It wasn't that he'd lost interest in the rewarding supervision and heat rays, but that, in his judgment, the mission wasn't complete at all.

Leaving aside his role as Laughter last night, he officially began to intervene in the fateful duel between the Joker and Batman.

He can't be considered to have completed the task requirement of "onlooker" alone.

He didn't stand by at all!

If Hancock hadn't informed him, he wouldn't have known that Batman had killed the Joker.

In the end what happened?
Am I overlooking something?

Roy's brain was working like crazy.

But no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

The system does not lie!

Now that the system has determined that the task has been completed, it means that the guy killed by Batman is indeed the Joker himself.

Although this is not in line with Batman's long-standing oath not to kill, and from the perspective of mission requirements, he has not completed it well, but the system still judges that the mission is completed.

This means that whether he helped evacuate patients from West Charity Hospital last night, or acted as a laughing man and killed in Gotham, in the judgment of the system, he would not be considered to be involved in the fateful duel between the Joker and Batman.

Inferring from this result, there is only one reasonable explanation.

That was his actions last night, all in the clown's plan.

In other words, it was all expected by the clown, and it didn't disrupt any of his deployments at all.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense, the system will judge that the task is completed.

and many more!

Roy suddenly thought of a very important question.

It is absolutely impossible for the clown to know the existence of the system, that is to say, the clown has considered that he will intervene in this situation from the very beginning.

In other words, the Joker has been in control the entire time.

Is that what you're trying to prove?

Everything is within your plan!
Seeing that Roy's expression became a little ugly, Selina immediately asked:

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

"It's okay, it's just that this news is a bit beyond my expectations."

Roy replied.

Then, he said to Hancock:
"Contact Bruce for me, just say I have something to talk to him about."

"Okay, sir."

Hancock said quickly.

Not long after, Hancock's voice sounded again.

"Sir, Mr. Wayne cannot be contacted. Do you want to contact Alfred or Damian?"

could not be reached?

Roy frowned.

"It's fine if you can't get in touch. After dinner, I'll go to the Bat Cave myself."

"Okay, sir."

After having dinner with Selina, Roy didn't go to the Batcave immediately, but calmed down some complicated feelings in his heart.

After calming down, he cast a flash and came to the Batcave.

There is no one in the huge bat cave now.

Bruce wasn't there, and neither were Alfred and Damian.

Glancing at the empty bat cave, he turned and walked towards the main building of the manor.

Not long after arriving at the main building, Roy saw Alfred with a sad face.

"Is Bruce not home?"

Roy asked Alfred.

Alfred didn't speak, but shook his head helplessly.

"What about Damian?"

Roy continued to ask.

"Master Damian has gone out too."

Alfred replied quickly.
