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

Encouraged by these voices, more voices soon appeared: “hypocrisy,” “greed,” “selfishness,” “pretentiousness,” “ignorance and inflexibility,” and so on and so forth.

The overwhelming sound, like a huge wave, swept Zavin away, forcing him to shout: "He deserves to die! Well done!"

Zawen did not track the specific source of the sound. As he said just now, the sound always came from the crowd, and this group of people was the murderer.

Looking at the cheering crowd, some Zawen celebrated with them, but more Zawen rose in the air, watching all this coldly.

…We can’t help but talk about it again, what does it take for a clown to become a clown.

ACE Chemical Plant, the name Jack, the inseparable connection with bats, the weird appearance, and a past like most people.

These are all needed, but their absence will not prevent the Joker from appearing.

All that was necessary was that he be a joke.

……

The bats in this world can be described as indifferent and unmoved by many things; in contrast, the clowns are dictators who control all the actions and possibilities of everyone.

With this incident with Lucian, it is foreseeable that Zaven will become a tyrant.

This will happen after Zaven breaks free from the crowd, and it is a foreseeable future.

Whether it is the act of struggling or the ending of becoming the Clown King, he will be interesting enough, with various and unpredictable stories.

Or we can say that the story of the Silent Bat ends when he completes his revenge, and his future is no different from that of other bats, so this universe will not pay attention to him.

And now, with hard work, another person's story has been taken up, just like the comic "Batman O Year One", the world has just finished telling "Joker O Year One".

……

Before Fijianet came to pick up Lucian and go to the next mission point, some questions remained unanswered.

Laughing Maniac, Quinn, Bat-Lantern.

Lucian did not look for the Silent Bat again, but finally, once again, turned his gaze to the silent Bat Lantern, this illusory creature.

"You have a physical body, don't you?"

By the sparkling Gotham River, Lucian stood in the mud, looking through the reflective water at the bat lantern with only a single head.

Let Quinn deliver food to the mayor who almost starved to death because Lucian could not come back; he learned that Killer Croc had the ability to eliminate nuclear radiation, which even the Silent Bat did not know or record.

Although the Bat Lantern mostly provided Lucien with solutions to his problems and verbal comfort, these two occasional behaviors were inappropriate and strange.

There are only two possibilities. The first is that Bat Lantern is a local, and the second is that he has a physical body - even if it is in the shape of a lantern.

At this point, the Bat Lantern had nothing to hide.

……

The Bat-Lantern does have a physical entity, but this entity exists in the forty-year timeline in which the Broken Bat disappeared. His existence itself is like Martha and Thomas being able to see Bruce after the end of the Flashpoint universe. It is a collection of bugs.

Therefore, it is understandable that part of the consciousness is in Lucian and the other part is in the entity.

The fact that the Bat-Lantern was able to gain Quinn's trust can be attributed to the Silent Bat to some extent.

They are childhood friends and know each other, but because the Hunchback Bat has a problem with his skin and cannot show his face, and the Bat-Lantern only has a head, Quinn naturally mistakes one for the other. Out of acquaintance and for a better future, he helps him a few times.

……

Then there is only one question left.

Laugh wildly.

The calm water reflects the gentle and harmless full moon. The sky is dark, and the reflection of the water makes it look cobalt blue.

"His presence is too low, he's too harmless. This is not only inconsistent with his character, but also not what he should do."

Lucian was referring to the maniacal laughter that only appeared out of nowhere to scare him, forcing Lucian to react and create a hellish start before it was over.

There is no after.

Is this a wild laugh? The tiger head is indeed a tiger head, but the snake tail is exaggerated. It stops even more abruptly than the rat tail.

This is not right.

"I still have a question. Why are you so sure that nothing bad will happen if you laugh like crazy? Was there no laughter from the beginning? Was it just you?"

The flaw is that Quinn brought Jack over and had "Laughing Maniac" beat him to death in front of the Hush Bat. The Bat-Lantern with Bruce's face is fully capable of doing this.

But Lucien didn't understand: "Why?"

"Don't you think it's unnecessary to make me paranoid? Besides... what's the purpose of this action? Other than introducing you, a character who has been useless so far, it's completely unnecessary."

The Bat Lantern did not answer for a while, and there was silence. The cold Gotham River at this moment looked very much like Walden Pond, which Thoreau described in more than 100,000 words.

This was something Lucian had to doubt. Although the Joker could find a way to break free from the time stop in the strange realm, there was no reason why Laughter couldn't do it. So Lucian didn't question the authenticity of Laughter at that time, but now, his suspiciousness was revealed.

Lucien couldn't help but wonder.

"I'm affected." Bat Lantern suddenly said, "He's laughing wildly."

Lucian was surprised but felt it was natural. However, since it was real laughter, it did not mean that the problem disappeared. The doubt remained here - there was no reason for the laughter to start off so badly and then disappear without a trace just to create a hellish start.

……

This is the key to the puzzle. If you figure this out, the laughter or the behavior of the bat holding the lantern will be revealed naturally.

……

The clown influenced Lucian. No matter whether he made Lucian a clown or not, he could not get rid of the term "clown".

But Crazy Laugh couldn't be so crazy as to imitate the clown and let Lucien play a game of "Guess Who is Crazy Laughing".

In terms of character setting, the only person that Laughing Mad wants to play this game with is Batman from the main world, not Lucian.

……

He really couldn't find the purpose of laughing wildly and doing all this.

Lucian walked along the Gotham River. The homeless people who would gather under the bridge to spend the night before the nuclear explosion were nowhere to be seen. The tsunami washed away all the garbage left behind. The Gotham River was quiet and gentle, with a faint mist floating on the surface. Walking on the soft mud, the soles of his shoes sank in and out again.

The only people present at the time were Lucian, Silent Bat and Jack, and they were the only three people affected.

If it wasn't Lucian, it could have been Silent Bat, or Jack.

It definitely isn't Jack. Even if it is Jack, he has been infected with the bad virus and can't do anything.

That is silence.

No matter how overused it is, the famous quote from Sherlock Holmes is very reasonable - eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable it is, is the answer.

……

The Silent Bat hated Lucian so much at that time that he tried every possible way to find Lucian's weakness.

The funny thing is that Lucian has nothing to fear, and he can't find it here.

Regardless of whether it was OOC or the efforts of "Batman Omnipotent", the Silent Bat, who had never been exposed to parallel universes and had no basic four-dimensional space knowledge, found the Broken Bat World and regarded that world as Lucian's origin story. Unfortunately, before breaking Lucian's defense, the misunderstanding was resolved first.

"Tell me, is there a possibility?"

Lucian said: "The wild laughter is not directed at me, it is directed at the Silent Bat..."

The Bat Lantern didn't say anything, listening to Lucian's slow, step-by-step, logical and bold guesses, just like watching a clumsy child finally learn to walk.

"He used the Silent Bat's desire for revenge against me to drive the Silent Bat to search for my origins. My origins are -22, the world where time stops. Laughing Madly's goal is to have the Silent Bat disrupt the balance of time."

The theory of time stop is the law of "a pair of clown bats in the same world and the same timeline". Even if the silent bat is present, it cannot be considered as the same world and the same time.

Stuck here.

Another period of time passed, and Lucian began to recall all his memories, finally finding a corner that he had not noticed.

The dark multiverse cannot be reversed due to its fragility, but Fijinet can reverse to the previous world, which led to the creation of the bug of the bat lantern. Naturally, it is possible that the current timeline is uncertain.

……

Time is not linear.

"I have a bold guess."

After saying this, Lucian didn't say the next sentence for a long time. He was confirming the rationality of all this, and finally said slowly: "Timeline."

"...Now it's the time before the -22 time stop starts."

If sorted by time, it should be:

Little Bruce - Broken - Silent - Laughing

The wild laughter in the future affects the past and allows the present self to break the predicament.

Only when time stops and the variable Silent Bat participates in the past, no matter which side it stands on, it will lead to different solutions and results.

Only then can the time stop be broken.

……

After Lucian said this, he fell silent again. He did not seek Bat Lantern's opinion, and Bat Lantern did not make any rash comments.

Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong.

But the logic was closed and the answer appeared, so Lucian asked the Bat Lantern the next question: "How can I get rid of you?"

Lucian used the word "get rid of" because he could never like him - it was not the kind of dislike he had for Batman. Lucian still liked Batman very much and had a pleasant conversation with the Hush Bat, but he was bored and disgusted with the Bat-Lantern.

I don't want him to get involved in the next world.

So I asked it directly.

Bat Lantern didn't feel sad or question it. He knew exactly why Lucian was disgusted—not in ideas, not in words.

But Lucian didn't want someone with the highest IQ in the world to follow him around all the time.

"You might fail."

In this world, Bat Lantern is a hero. He keeps Lucian on the right path at critical moments and he has never failed in his duty.

"I accept failure."

Lucian said so.

A child who has just learned to walk and even needs help to walk said: I want to survive independently.

But Bat Lantern said nothing. He had anticipated this. "My entity is with Quinn. As long as you don't take it with you, I will naturally disappear from your side when you leave this world."

This may be true or false. Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is foreseeable that even if the bat lantern really follows, it will be an invisible man who disappears silently.
