Just like the side quest on Christmas last time, a certain scene automatically burst out from Ma Zhaodi’s mind again.

“Hahahaha, hehehehe——”

The sharp laughter echoed in my ears.

Whose laughter is that? It sounds familiar, yet strange.

The man struggled to open his eyes. His head was dizzy and his vision was blurry, as if he had just been punched on the head.

It must have been a very hard punch, he thought, or his head wouldn't hurt so much.

Through the dark red goggles, he saw that he was wearing a dark green tights with a light green diamond-shaped logo on his chest, like a small kite.

Oh, I remember now, that laughter belonged to the clown.

So maybe I should be a superhero?

Maybe I'm incredibly strong and can knock out a bunch of bad guys with one punch?
Or maybe I have super speed? Can I save everyone on the field in the instant of explosion?

Or invulnerable? Or super rich?
No, none of them are right.

My head gradually cleared up. I looked at the crudely made uniform on my body. The stitches at the joints were even broken by a punch. The helmet was also beaten so loose that it was about to fall apart.

I'm not a superhero and I don't have super powers.

The man finally raised his head and saw everything in front of him.

It was noon, and the cold wind blew in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the tall building. Outside the window was an empty and cloudless sky, and an extremely tiny city beneath the feet.

The sun outside the building was not blocked by dark clouds, and the sunlight shone directly into the room through the window. Even so, I still couldn't feel any warmth.

The window glass had shattered into pieces all over the floor. An ordinary man in jeans and a white shirt was lying in a pool of blood. His groans and wails were completely drowned out by the wild laughter, making him look so small and powerless.

Not far from the ground was the man's severed arm, which was bleeding.

The clown opened his arms and laughed wildly in the sunlight and the strong wind from the high-rise buildings. His laughter was happy and joyful - there was even a knife stuck in his raised left hand, but he seemed unaware.

Next to the Joker, the Riddler in a dark green suit was lowering his head slightly. He was distraught and silent, but half an hour ago, he almost became the king of criminals in Gotham City.

As for the farthest point, there is a black figure with its back to the sun.

He stumbled to his knees, his body almost completely drained of strength, his large black cape dragging on the ground like a broken bat wing. However, there were no external injuries on his body, and his muscles were still strong and powerful, but his eyes had lost their spirit.

He lost his will to fight, Batman lost his will to fight.

Looking at Batman and Riddler in front of him, the man finally remembered everything.

I am a kite flyer.

An unemployed aerodynamicist, a failed husband, an incompetent father, an ordinary person without super powers, a third-rate villain, a joke.

A funny joke.

I couldn't keep my job, I couldn't keep my wife, I couldn't save my son, I didn't have a wonderful life, I couldn't even be a good villain. I gave everything to come here for revenge, and then I was knocked down like a joke.

I'm the kite man, a funny joke.

【Business trip mission has been released】

[Sisyphus who cannot cry
Mission Introduction: Charles "Chuck" Brown once told his son an old story.

A long time ago, there was a guy who was pushing a huge rock to the top of the mountain, but he was cursed, so every time he pushed the rock to the top of the mountain, the rock would roll down again - that was the curse, and he could never push the rock to the top of the mountain.

But he was determined to get the stone up, so he ran back to the bottom of the mountain and tried again. He pushed the stone to the top of the mountain and watched it roll down, over and over again, forever.

"It's a joke, isn't it? It's funny - he gets to the top of the mountain, he's so happy, and then oops! The rocks fall back down! Hahaha, hahaha."

"And that's me, little Charles. That's all of us, pushing a rock like this. Try as we might, we'll see it roll. And then we'll hear the gods and heroes and demigods and fate laughing at us, at our shallowness, at our mediocrity, at our mortal form, at our destiny."

"We can only stand on the mountaintop and listen to them laugh, but the key is, you have to laugh too - you have to, you have to."

"Because I am a joke, I am ridiculous, and there is nothing I can do but laugh with them - but at least this time, I am still laughing."

Note: If someone is always laughing, then he has never been happy.

Note 2: If someone is laughing while crying, he must be a tenacious and brave person.

Status: Unfinished

Rewards: Advanced Mechanical Mastery, Master Aerodynamics Mastery, Master Kite Skill Mastery

Special mission reward: Kite Flyer's Friendship]

It took Ma Zhaodi quite some time to digest this huge amount of information. He roughly understood the destination of this business trip - Gotham City in another parallel universe.

The goal of this business trip was relatively simple, which was to help a third-tier villain he had never heard of. Despite this, Ma Zhaodi was still able to learn a little about this unknown little person from the information provided by the system.

[Do you reject this business trip? The system will automatically search for the next one——]

"Just take this one."

Ma Zhaodi sighed, "A loser helping a loser, that's quite a good match—but it seems like Batman in this universe is also on the decline. I wonder if he's going to turn up the intensity on this business trip?"

[The business trip has been confirmed. You will start your trip in 48 hours. Please prepare during this time.]

"But since we have all this time, it would be a shame to waste it. How about we go and get someone else?"

"Travel far? No, Lao Ma, I don't have time right now."

Harvey sat in his office with a tired look on his face. On his desk were coffee, strong tea, and Ma Zhaodi's floral tea, while his desk was already piled with case files and litigation documents.

In other words, the office is almost filled with these things and there is no place to put them.

"As you can see, the lawsuits that have been piling up lately are almost filling up the District Attorney's office. I can't get away at all at this time. Let alone travel far, I can't even leave the District Attorney's office right now."

Ma Zhaodi patted his shoulder sympathetically to express his understanding. It seemed that Harvey could not be taken away, so he could only go and ask the remaining three people.
