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

"..."

It seemed as if the clown wanted to continue, but Lucien really didn't want to listen anymore: "So what's your purpose?"

The Joker broke the divinity of Batman in Lucian's heart, and also broke the divinity of the Joker himself. Although this would make him feel the changes in things more personally, it also made him lose the rational thinking of a bystander.

"You've said so much, what do you want to do?"

Rather than actually asking anything, Lucian was trying to change the subject in a forceful way, and he himself didn't expect a clear answer.

But the clown once again broke his usual behavior and said very cheerfully: "I want to seek peaceful coexistence, I want to seek cooperation."

Lucian thought he had misheard: "You don't seek to suppress me, nor do you seek to take over my position?"

"Please, that's vulgar and boring." The clown said the same words again:

"What's the point of just letting me revive in you? I want you to become another clown on your own initiative."

The Monitor Realm is the residence of the Monitor race. It is located in the outermost layer of the multiverse. Its main function is to observe and manage the various parallel worlds in the multiverse to ensure the balance and stability of the universe.

But generally speaking, other people are not welcome there.

Therefore, after Batman realized the existence of parallel worlds, he created the Batcave on the Moon and observed the multiverse in it.

But observations are limited to observations, and the technical means have not yet reached the level of cross-universe communication.

This is equivalent to a space that is distorted enough without precise and accurate channels. People can only see scattered scenes after the distortion and are unable to understand or communicate.

Through the lunar bat cave, we can only know the general situation of other universes - who rules the world, who is alive and who is not, who is male and who is female - this kind of technology is crude and inefficient.

"There are only two ways now: first, technological innovation; second, attracting the main universe's attention to us." said Green Lantern.

"Where's the Green Lantern ring?" Batgirl asked.

The Green Lantern's ring is a powerful magical tool that can be used to travel through parallel universes.

"It's useless, just like Barry, his speed force is useless." said Green Lantern.

Barry the Flash's speed force allows him to travel through different parallel universes.

"The Batcomputer will use 40% of its computing power for research here." Batgirl watched the letters scrolling on the screen. "In seven days at most, the first technological breakthrough will occur."

"So slow." Green Lantern crossed his arms and frowned.

"Because I'm Batgirl."

Not Batman.

This is her subtext.

"But I believe that with the help of the great Hal, this speed will increase again!" Green Lantern encouraged.

"How did you discover the anomaly?"

"First the water from the tap turned red, then it became smelly, and then bits of meat flowed into my house." The old lady looked a little angry:

"What a bastard! Kill someone, chop up the body, and then throw it into the water tank! Bullshit! There are so many empty rooms, you can just dump it anywhere and no one will know!"

People around me also complained: "It would be much better to just cut it up and flush it down the toilet. No one cares about water consumption."

"I was playing with the shower head two days ago."

"You Malaysian ringgit, why is it so itchy? Go buy me some anti-inflammatory medicine!"

"The murderer must be from out of town! Or maybe he's a resident who stayed for two days and then left. Officer, check the occupancy records and you'll find the answer!"

The police listened to them briefly, then nodded and asked the trainee police officer next to him to look for the check-in record.

After a while, the notebook was handed over.

"Dylan Preston."

"Yes, I've been staying at home these two days."

"Lilith Stevens."

"Dylan is my boyfriend and we've always been together."

"Scorpius Dickinson, Scorpius Dickinson?"

"He sold the house, officer."

"Sold to whom?"

"I, I know." Julie slowly raised her hand from the crowd. "It's a tall and thin young man who lives on the ninth floor."

"What about the others?" The policeman flicked the ash off his cigarette irritably.

"No, I don't know."

The police officer said to the trainee, "Go and take a look."

Then he added, "Continue with the roll call."

"Julie Palacios."

"It's me. I've been home all the time, but my boyfriend Tommy is missing..."

"Tommy?"

"Yes, Tommy Rogers."

The policeman circled a line in the notebook:

"Tyr Burns."

"Me, Morgan, and York are always together."

"What are you doing together?"

"Taking drugs."

The police officer nodded and was about to move on to the next one when the trainee police officer who had just arrived ran over and said, "There are no residents on the ninth floor."

The police officer closed the roll call and said, "Okay, the one on the ninth floor is... Lucien, right? There's also Jamie."

"One dead person and one suspect."

"Go find the property management and clean the water tank later." The officer's eyes fell on Julie's face: "Who do you think died?"

"Jay, Jamie."

"Okay," the officer said. "We'll put Lucien on the wanted list. You can plan your funeral now... Oh, and don't forget to pay the environmental damage fee—$500."

The trainee police officer handed Julie a ticket.

Julie took it silently, tears slowly streaming down her face.

"Okay, case solved. Goodbye everyone."

The two policemen left without looking back.

"Julie!" Lilith held out her hand. "Give me three hundred dollars in compensation."

"You silly girl, you have to pay for all the repairs and sanitation costs!" The old lady poked her shoulder so hard that she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Julie sat on the ground in a daze, her face frighteningly pale.

Clouds rolled in over Gotham, the sky darkened, and moisture accumulated in the air, making it as sticky as a swamp.

The LED lights on the sign gradually light up, illuminating the name of this place:

——Crime Alley.

Chapter 16 "Red Uprising"

Gotham now seems to have returned to what it was many years ago.

There are no people with super powers, no mental illnesses or lunatics, and there are more gangsters in the whole Gotham.

But compared to the past when they talked about morality, today's gangs are more about being bad.

For example, after gang A takes over a certain area, it collects protection fees and maintains a certain order. Gang B sees this and sends people to disrupt A's order. After discovering this, A no longer focuses on maintaining its own order, but instead uses the same behavior as B, which ultimately leads to:

Chaos in Gotham.

In the process of evolution, the former Gotham gang gradually formed a circle with Super Counter as the center and the number of times the boss entered Arkham as the radius, drawing a circle of bad things.

After the Joker's purge of the super-anti-gang, the gang itself showed a sense of decadence and morbidity.

In today's chaotic Gotham, the Joker Killing Gang, a gang with clear goals, numerous supporters and suitable soil, is growing rapidly.

"For peace!"

“Stop oppression!”

"Kill the rich!"

What kind of people are rich people?

capitalist.

then.

"Kill the capitalists!"

So, as the surrounding cities were stunned, a red uprising broke out in Gotham.

"Although I wouldn't be too surprised by anything that happens here...but this..." Nightwing, who hurried over, looked incredulous:

"How did that happen?"

Red Robin felt a faint sense of death and sighed calmly: "Yeah, I wanted to ask this question too."

"Isn't Luthor behind this force controlling it?" Nightwing turned to look at Superman, who was also rushing over, and asked:

"How did that happen?"

Superman blinked his innocent, blue eyes: "Um... I've been messing with his lab lately."

"Did it succeed?" Nightwing said with some anticipation: "I urgently need some bad news about Luther to comfort my young heart."

"...I'm sorry, no." But Superman quickly added: "But I have made a discovery."
