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

"There was a child. He was not smart, kind, or beautiful, but he was not miserable, pitiful, or evil either... He was just an ordinary child."

"A child who is completely different from you."

"He lived an ordinary life, going about his business as usual... One day, he suffered an accident."

"An accident. I forgot what accident, but accidents are not uncommon in Gotham. Bruce, accidents are the norm in Gotham, aren't they?"

"So this ordinary child came face to face with the horrors of human nature."

"What kind of horror was it... I forgot again, anyway, it was about a horror that made you laugh, and so... I was born."

The Joker strangely put all his cards in front of Batman.

……

A personality that exists in another person, a dead soul, the embodiment of a virus.

The Joker told Batman the story verbatim after he was hallucinated after being infected with the Joker virus.

Lucien didn't know what this story meant, but he suddenly understood it from nowhere.

...He is not the Joker's past at all, that is just a deception deliberately put on by the Joker.

Maybe what the Joker said was right.

He came alive in the body of his killer and lifelong enemy.

You even need to add an adverbial:

He comes alive simultaneously in the bodies of his killer and his lifelong enemy.

This notorious villain made people with the same symptoms have different manifestations, and used his constant gentleness and companionship to win the trust of those who had no memories.

Then he deceived without hesitation, even setting up a scam that even Batman fell for...

The problem is coming.

Did Batman really believe what he had deduced?

negative.

The pale goggles made it impossible to see the green pupils within. He said, "You are not a clown, you are an independent person, and I need your help, Lucian."

Lucian was lying on his back on the ground, Batman was looking at him. From the Joker's perspective, he only saw Batman, while from Lucian's perspective, he was looking at the dark sky of Gotham.

This was exactly the same as when he had just traveled through time.

A hint of sarcastic laughter escaped from his lips, which was different from the clown's laughter. This was a laughter that truly belonged to Lucian.

Don't impose a two-dimensional impression on a three-dimensional person.

Although Lucian didn't say it, he stubbornly believed that Batman would burst into laughter when he was at the scene of the Joker's death.

Do not copy written answers to real-life problems.

The setting says that the Joker always hates and laughs wildly.

He finally realized that he had been fooled.

Maybe the Joker is right.

He is really not smart.

Chapter 34 Something is wrong with this world

This is Universe -22.

This is the birthplace of the Batman Who Laughs.

But nothing seems right.

The disappearance of all super villains.

The Joker's sudden and bizarre death.

The Batman Who Laughs has yet to show any threat.

Lex Luthor is everywhere trying to make his presence felt.

A controlled Superman.

And the clown virus with independent consciousness.

……

Is that what's written in the comics?

Does this make sense?

……

Lucien looked up at Batman and asked, "How can I help you?"

"Lucian" looked up at Batman and asked the same question: "How do you want to deceive me?"

Two different sounds came out of the same vocal organ, one was a sigh and the other was a mockery.

Two completely different emotions flashed in his bright eyes, one pleading, the other mocking.

Batman put his legs down and watched quietly as "Lucian" struggled to stand up.

"follow me."

He turned, seemingly unconcerned about whether Lucien followed him.

And the fact is, the Joker followed.

"You lied to me again... I'm so glad you were lying to me!" The clown's smile returned to him. He followed closely behind the black cloak with an air of worship, muttering:

"We were supposed to dance the perfect tango until the world fell apart, but you always stepped on my foot on the seventh beat."

"But it's okay, but it's okay... I will always forgive you, I will always forgive you, Batman..."

"You're the sweetest maggot in my rotten apple, Bat, you're everything to me, and you won't leave me..."

He's a little neurotic.

This seemed to be a cage for the lowest level prisoners. The surroundings were so quiet that the only sound besides the clown's muttering was the echo of footsteps.

Some brilliant geniuses can calculate the length and distance of the channel by the number of seconds between echoes, but Lucian is obviously not a brilliant genius.

"Bruce, Bruce, do you know how naive this child is? I thought that once he got to kindergarten, all he had to do was talk about friendship and love every day to gain his trust."

"But there's really no fun in exposing my tricks in such a crude way... You should wait a while, use a satisfying deduction, and then cooperate with me to crush the heart of this little chicken."

"Instead of now, look at him, cowardly and boring... You even threatened me for him."

Lucien was jumping up and down.

The clown Lucien saw might be a little crazy, but he was more rational, like a calm conspirator.

But now.

He's like a written character, filled with stereotypes of the Joker.

The Joker controlled Lucian to follow Batman closely, step by step, almost sticking to his back, with the attachment and reluctance of a baby bird to its mother.

Lucien heard Batman's cold response: "Put down the gun, Joker."

Lucian looked down in shock and saw that he had put down a pistol with regret in his right hand.

"Oh! What is this?!" the clown said in surprise, "What a naughty boy! He actually wants to use this to take revenge on you!"

"...In fact, you did it," Lucien retorted.

The clown readily admitted, "Of course I did it."

"It's just a joke... Don't you think the atmosphere is too weird? Why am I the only one talking? Little bat? Little parrot? You're making me look a bit psychotic."

Lucien guessed why the Joker described him as a "parrot" - a creature that only repeated what others said and had no thoughts.

So he replied sarcastically: "It's just a joke~ Don't you think the atmosphere is too weird~ Why am I the only one talking~ Little bat~ Little parrot~ You make me look a little bit psychotic~"

Then his voice returned to being calm and indifferent: "Don't question it, clown, you are a psychopath."

The walls were smooth and flat, with only blood stains that had been splashed on them and not cleaned up in time - if it wasn't the work of the Joker when he massacred the people in Arkham Asylum, then it was the result of killing the Joker Gang and attacking Arkham.

They arrived at a rare and intact place.

There were some drugs of unknown ingredients, a device for detecting brain waves, and a restraint bed.

"You mean..." Lucien tried to think.

Since the clown is a personality, it can naturally be treated through the means of treating schizophrenia.

"Use these to suppress the Joker's personality and characteristics?"

Batman didn't deny it.

"Will this work?" Lucian couldn't help but question, "How is this different from 'I'm thinking'?"

Batman picked up one of the bottles and explained:

"Chlorpromazine is suitable for patients with acute schizophrenia to treat symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions."

"Clozapine is used to treat refractory schizophrenia and can suppress personality and ensure the dominance of the sole personality."

"This is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, which uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain to relieve symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. It is a very safe physical therapy."

"If the above does not work for you, electroconvulsive therapy will be initiated to free you from the Joker's emotional control."

He gave a lot of detailed introductions, speaking concisely and getting straight to the point. Lucien understood that these were all treatment methods for hallucinations, personality, and emotions.

Before he could speak, a laugh escaped from his teeth and the clown said:

"Bat, I knew it, I knew it, you are worthy of being my nemesis. I knew it, I knew it... You want me to be resurrected in this body."

"My dear, my other half, you can't live without me, right? Haha...we should stay entangled like this forever...you think so too, right?"

Correct.

It is also possible that the main personality of Lucian is suppressed and the secondary personality of Joker is released.

Those uneasy yellow-brown eyes stared into the goggles, but not a trace of emotion could be seen in them.

"Believe me."
